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 County, 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”) and 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.

Our stabilized portfolio of operating properties was comprised of the following office properties at March 31, 2014:

Our stabilized portfolio includes all of our properties with the exception of real estate assets held for sale, undeveloped land, development and redevelopment properties currently under construction or committed for construction, and “lease-up” properties. We define redevelopment properties as those properties for which we expect to spend significant development and construction costs on the 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. During the first quarter of 2014, we stabilized a redevelopment property in San Francisco, California. As a result, this property is included in our stabilized portfolio as of March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014, the following properties were excluded from our stabilized portfolio:

Estimated rentable square feet upon completion.

As of March 31, 2014, all of our properties and development and redevelopment projects and all of our business was conducted in the state of California with the exception of thirteen office properties located in the state of Washington. All of our properties and development and redevelopment projects are 100% owned, excluding a development project owned by Redwood City Partners, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary (see Note 6) and certain properties held in connection with potential like-kind exchanges pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code (“Section 1031 Exchanges”) to defer taxable gains on dispositions for federal and state income tax purposes that have been consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company owned a 97.9% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 2.1% common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2014 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% common general partnership interest in the Finance Partnership. The Operating Partnership owns the remaining 99.0% common 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, 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, 2014. 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, 2013.

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

Variable Interest Entities

At March 31, 2014, the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership included one variable interest entity (“VIE”), Redwood City Partners, LLC, in which we were deemed to be the primary beneficiary. This VIE was established in the second quarter of 2013 in connection with an undeveloped land acquisition. The impact of consolidating the VIE increased the Company’s total assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests by approximately $61.6 million (of which $60.6 million related to real estate held for investment on our consolidated balance sheet), approximately $6.8 million and approximately $4.9 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership included four VIEs, in which we were deemed to be the primary beneficiary. One of the VIEs was Redwood City Partners, LLC and the remaining three VIEs were established during the third and fourth quarter of 2013 to facilitate a potential Section 1031 Exchange. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Section 1031 Exchanges were successfully completed and the three VIEs were terminated. As a result, $32.2 million of our restricted cash balance at December 31, 2013, which related to prior period disposition proceeds that were set aside to facilitate the Section 1031 Exchanges, was released from escrow. The impact of consolidating the VIEs increased the Company’s total assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests by approximately $251.8 million (of which $234.5 million related to real estate held for investment on our consolidated balance sheet), approximately $12.1 million and approximately $4.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2013.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued final guidance to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area (Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08). Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift, such as a major line of business, a major geographical area or a major equity investment, should be presented as discontinued operations. The guidance will be applied prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. The guidance is effective for annual financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted for disposals or classifications as held for sale which have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company will adopt the guidance effective January 1, 2015 and the guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and notes to our consolidated financial statements.

On March 13, 2014, the Emerging Issues Task Force (the “Task Force”) reached a final consensus to amend the accounting guidance for stock compensation tied to performance targets (Issue No. 13-D). The objective of this guidance is to clarify the accounting treatment of certain types of performance conditions in stock-based compensation awards, more specifically, when performance targets can be achieved after the requisite service period. The Task Force concluded that performance criteria subsequent to a service period vesting requirement should be treated as vesting conditions, and as a result, this type of performance condition may delay expense recognition until achievement of the performance target is probable. Issue No. 13-D will be effective for all entities for reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements.
