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 March 31, 2016:



	Number of Buildings	Rentable Square Feet	Number of Tenants	Percentage Occupied
Stabilized Office Properties	103	13,671,730	523	94.9	%

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. 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 three months ended March 31, 2016, we stabilized two development projects consisting of 455,340 rentable square feet and 185,602 rentable square feet in San Francisco, California which were included in our stabilized portfolio as of March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2016, the following “lease up” properties and development projects under construction were excluded from our stabilized portfolio. We did not have any redevelopment properties at March 31, 2016.



	Number of Properties/Projects	Estimated Rentable Square Feet
Development projects in “lease-up”	2	443,000
Development projects under construction ⁽¹⁾	2	905,000

Our stabilized portfolio also excludes our near-term and future development pipeline, which as of March 31, 2016 was comprised of ten development sites, representing approximately 101 gross acres of undeveloped land.

As of March 31, 2016, 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 one future development project located in the state of Washington. As of March 31, 2016, we owned 100% of all of our properties and development projects, excluding two recently completed office properties owned by Redwood City Partners, LLC (“Redwood LLC”), a consolidated subsidiary, and one undeveloped land parcel held at a qualified intermediary for potential future transactions that are intended to qualify as 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 been consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

Ownership and 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.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company owned an approximate 97.2% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 2.8% common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2016 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. As of March 31, 2016, the Company owned an approximate 93% equity interest in Redwood LLC. The remaining interest was owned by an unrelated third party. With the exception of the Operating Partnership and Redwood LLC, all of our subsidiaries are wholly owned.

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, 2016. 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, 2015.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Variable Interest Entities

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-02 (“ASU 2015-02”), which amended certain guidance with respect to the evaluation of Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) and when a reporting entity is required to 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 consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, and (iv) provide a scope exception for certain entities.

Under the new guidance, effective January 1, 2016 the Operating Partnership was determined to be a VIE of the Company as the Operating Partnership is a limited partnership in which the common limited partners do not have substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. However, given that the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the Operating Partnership, the adoption of this new guidance and the conclusion that the Operating Partnership was a VIE did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements since the conclusion to consolidate the Operating Partnership still applied. The Operating Partnership was the only new VIE identified as part of the adoption of the guidance as of January 1, 2016.

At December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership included two other VIEs in which we were deemed to be the primary beneficiary. One VIE, Redwood LLC, was established in 2013 in connection with an undeveloped land acquisition. The other VIE was established in the fourth quarter of 2015 to facilitate potential future Section 1031 Exchanges to defer taxable gains on dispositions for federal income tax purposes. At March 31, 2016, the impact of consolidating the other VIEs increased the Company’s total assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests by approximately $208.3 million (of which $187.3 million related to real estate held for investment on our consolidated balance sheet), approximately $26.3 million and approximately $6.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2015, the impact of consolidating the VIEs increased the Company’s total assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests by approximately $203.3 million (of which $187.3 million related to real estate held for investment on our consolidated balance sheet), approximately $28.8 million and approximately $6.5 million, respectively.

Reclassification of Debt Issuance Costs

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2015-03 and No. 2015-15, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. However, for line-of-credit arrangements, entities 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 any outstanding borrowings on the line of credit arrangement. As a result of our adoption of the guidance, $1.1 million of deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2015 were reclassified to reduce secured debt, net and $12.0 million of deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2015 were reclassified to reduce unsecured debt, net in the December 31, 2015 balances on our consolidated balance sheets. In addition, $4.6 million of deferred financing costs relating to our unsecured line of credit as of December 31, 2015 were reclassified to prepaid expenses and other assets, net in the December 31, 2015 balances on our consolidated balance sheets. The guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”) to amend the accounting guidance for leases. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged under ASU 2016-02. However, the standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases classified as operating leases on the balance sheet. Lessees will recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it will recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements and notes to our consolidated financial statements.

On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 to amend the accounting guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The standard requires that all investments in equity securities, including other ownership interests, are carried at fair value through net income. This requirement does not apply to investments that qualify for equity method accounting or to those that result in consolidation of the investee or for which the entity has elected the predictability exception to fair value measurement. Additionally, the standard requires that the portion of the total fair value change caused by a change in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected would be recognized in other comprehensive income. Any accumulated amount remaining in other comprehensive income is reclassified to earnings when the liability is extinguished. The Company does not anticipate the guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements.

On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”) to amend the accounting guidance for share-based payment accounting. The areas for simplification in ASU 2016-09 involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements and notes to our consolidated financial statements.
