Organization and Basis of Presentation

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 generally 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 September 30, 2015:



	Number of Buildings	Rentable Square Feet	Number of Tenants	Percentage Occupied
Stabilized Office Properties	101	13,050,947	509	95.6	%

Our stabilized portfolio includes all of our properties with the exception of development and redevelopment properties currently under construction or committed for construction, “lease-up” properties, real estate assets held for sale and undeveloped land. 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. As of September 30, 2015, we had no redevelopment properties. 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, 2015, we had one development project in the “lease-up” phase.

As of September 30, 2015, the following properties were excluded from our stabilized portfolio:



	Number of Properties/Projects	Estimated Rentable Square Feet
Development projects in “lease-up”	1	108,539
Development projects under construction ⁽¹⁾	7	2,322,000

________________________


(1)	Estimated rentable square feet upon completion.

Our stabilized portfolio also excludes our near-term and future development pipeline, which as of September 30, 2015 was comprised of ten development sites, representing approximately 106 gross acres of undeveloped land.

As of September 30, 2015, all of our stabilized portfolio properties and development projects were owned and all of our business was conducted in the state of California with the exception of twelve office properties and a recently acquired development opportunity located in the state of Washington. All of our properties and development projects are 100% owned, excluding a development project owned by Redwood City Partners, LLC (“Redwood LLC”), a consolidated subsidiary.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company owned an approximate 98.1% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 1.9% common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2015 was owned by non-affiliated investors and certain of our executive officers and directors (see Note 7). Both the general and limited common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are denominated in common units. Generally, the number of common units held by the Company is 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 7).

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 generally conduct substantially all of our development activities. With the exception of the Operating Partnership and Redwood 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 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 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, 2015. 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, 2014.

Certain amounts in the consolidated statements of operations for prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the activity of discontinued operations disposed of prior to the Company's adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08 (“ASU 2014-08”). Properties classified as held for sale and/or disposed of prior to January 1, 2015 are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Variable Interest Entities

At September 30, 2015, the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership included one variable interest entity (“VIE”), in which we were deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The VIE, Redwood LLC, 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 $180.7 million (of which $176.9 million related to real estate held for investment on our consolidated balance sheet), approximately $43.5 million and approximately $6.3 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2015.

As of December 31, 2014, 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 Redwood LLC and the remaining VIE was established during the fourth quarter of 2014 to facilitate potential Section 1031 Exchanges. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Section 1031 Exchange was successfully completed and the VIE was terminated. As a result, $59.2 million of our restricted cash balance at December 31, 2014, which related to prior period disposition proceeds that were set aside to facilitate the Section 1031 Exchange, was released from escrow. The impact of consolidating the VIEs increased the Company’s total assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests by approximately $219.6 million (of which $211.8 million related to real estate held for investment on our consolidated balance sheet), approximately $23.4 million and approximately $5.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2014.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2014-08, which changed the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and final results, such as a major line of business, a major geographical area or a major equity investment, should be presented as discontinued operations. The Company adopted and applied the new guidance on a prospective basis as required by ASU 2014-08. Therefore, real estate assets classified as held for sale and/or disposed of subsequent to January 1, 2015 that do not represent a strategic shift will be presented in continuing operations for all periods presented. Properties classified as held for sale and/or disposed of prior to January 1, 2015 will continue to be presented in discontinued operations for prior periods presented. In accordance with this guidance, the operations of the ten properties sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are presented in continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, discontinued operations includes the income and gains on all of the properties sold in 2014.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 (“ASU 2015-14”) to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers and notes that lease contracts with customers are a scope exception. Public business entities may elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date; however, adoption is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements and notes to our consolidated financial statements.

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 (“ASU 2015-03”) to amend the accounting guidance for the presentation of debt issuance costs. The standard requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. On August 18, 2015, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2015-15 (“ASU 2015-15”) to address the presentation of debt issuance costs specifically related to line-of-credit arrangements. The standard clarifies that an entity may defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and amortize the costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are an outstanding borrowings on the line-of credit arrangement. ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and retrospective application is required. Early adoption of the guidance is permitted. The Company expects to adopt the guidance effective January 1, 2016 and the guidance will not have any impact on our consolidated statements of operations, equity/capital, or cash flows.

In February 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-02”) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, the amendments: (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidated analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, and (iv) provide a scope exception for certain entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements and notes to our consolidated financial statements.
