Organization

Kilroy Realty Corporation (the “Company”) is a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) active in premier office submarkets along the West Coast. We own, develop, acquire and manage real estate assets, consisting primarily of Class A properties in the coastal regions of Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area and greater Seattle, which we believe have strategic advantages and strong barriers to entry. Class A real estate encompasses attractive and efficient buildings of high quality that are attractive to tenants, are well-designed and constructed with above-average material, workmanship and finishes and are well-maintained and managed. We qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company’s common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “KRC.”

We own our interests in all of our real estate assets through Kilroy Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), Kilroy Realty Finance Partnership, L.P. (the “Finance Partnership”). We conduct substantially all of our operations through the Operating Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context indicates otherwise, the terms “Kilroy Realty Corporation” or the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Kilroy Realty Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries and the term “Operating Partnership” refers to Kilroy Realty, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The descriptions of our business, employees, and properties apply to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.

Excludes 13 properties located in San Diego, California and one property in Anaheim, California that were held for sale at September 30, 2013 (see Note 12 “Discontinued Operations”).

Our stabilized portfolio includes all of our properties with the exception of properties held for sale, undeveloped land, development and redevelopment properties currently under construction or committed for construction, and “lease-up” properties. As of September 30, 2013, our stabilized portfolio of operating properties excluded the 14 properties that were classified as held for sale as of that date. (See Note 12 for additional information). We define redevelopment properties as those projects for which we expect to spend significant development and construction costs on existing or acquired buildings pursuant to a formal plan, the intended result of which is a higher economic return on the property. We define “lease-up” properties as properties we recently developed or redeveloped that have not yet reached 95% occupancy and are within one year following cessation of major construction activities. As of September 30, 2013, the following properties were excluded from our stabilized portfolio:

As of September 30, 2013, all of our properties and development and redevelopment projects are owned and all of our business is currently conducted in the state of California with the exception of 11 office properties located in the state of Washington.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company owned a 97.8% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 2.2% common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2013 was owned by non-affiliated investors and certain of our executive officers and directors (see Note 6). Both the general and limited common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are denominated in common units. The number of common units held by the Company is at all times equivalent to the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, and the rights of all the
common units to quarterly distributions and payments in liquidation mirror those of the Company’s common stockholders. The common limited partners have certain redemption rights as provided in the Operating Partnership’s Seventh Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (as amended, the “Partnership Agreement”) (see Note 6).

Kilroy Realty Finance, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is the sole general partner of the Finance Partnership and owns a 1.0% general partnership interest in the Finance Partnership. The Operating Partnership owns the remaining 99.0% limited partnership interest. Kilroy Services, LLC (“KSLLC”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, is the entity through which we conduct substantially all of our development activities. With the exception of the Operating Partnership and Redwood City Partners, LLC (see Note 2), all of our subsidiaries are wholly-owned.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Finance Partnership, KSLLC, Redwood City Partners, LLC and all of our wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership, the Finance Partnership, KSLLC, Redwood City Partners, LLC and all wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. The interim financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Certain amounts in the consolidated statements of operations for prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the activity of discontinued operations.

Partially Owned Entities and Variable Interest Entities

Our accounting policy is to consolidate entities in which we have a controlling financial interest and significant decision making control over the entities operations. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, we consider factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, size of our investment (including loans), authority to control decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the members. In addition to evaluating control rights, we also consolidate entities in which the other member has no substantive kick-out rights to remove the Company as the managing member.

We also evaluate whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether we are the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities in which the equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their endeavors without additional financial support or that the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have a controlling financial interest. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

If the requirements for consolidation are not met, the Company would account for investments under the equity method of accounting if we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the entity. Equity method investments would be initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions each period. The Company did not have any equity method investments at September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

As of September 30, 2013, the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership included two VIEs, in which we were deemed to be the primary beneficiary. One of the VIEs was established on June 27, 2013 (see Note 2 for additional information), and the second VIE was established during the third quarter of 2013 to facilitate a potential like-kind exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code (“Section 1031 Exchanges”) to defer taxable gains on dispositions for federal and state income tax purposes. To realize the tax deferral available under a Section 1031 Exchange, the Company must complete the Section 1031 Exchanges, if any, and complete the sale of the to-be-exchanged properties within 180 days of the acquisition date
(see Note 2). The VIE established during the third quarter of 2013 will be terminated upon the completion of the Section 1031 Exchanges or the expiration of the 180 day period, as applicable. The impact of consolidating the VIEs increased the Company’s total assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests by approximately $135.3 million (of which $119.3 million is related to real estate held for investment on our consolidated balance sheet), $4.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively, at September 30, 2013.

As of December 31, 2012, the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership included two VIEs, in which we were deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The VIEs were established during 2012 to facilitate potential Section 1031 Exchanges to defer taxable gains on dispositions for federal and state income tax purposes. During the year ended December 31, 2012, one operating property and one development project were acquired in two separate transactions and transferred to the two special purpose VIEs to facilitate potential Section 1031 Exchanges. The impact of consolidating the VIEs increased the Company’s total assets and liabilities by approximately $337.0 million (of which $319.8 million is related to real estate held for investment on our consolidated balance sheet) and $111.1 million, respectively, at December 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Section 1031 Exchanges were completed and the VIEs were terminated. As a result, $228.3 million of restricted cash set aside at December 31, 2012 to facilitate the Section 1031 Exchanges was released from escrow.
