PS BUSINESS PARKS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2014
1. Organization and description of business
PS Business Parks, Inc. (PSB) was incorporated in the state of California in 1990. As of June 30, 2014, PSB owned 77.8% of the common partnership units of PS Business Parks, L.P. (the Operating Partnership). The remaining common partnership units are owned by Public Storage (PS). Assuming issuance of the Companys common stock upon redemption of its partnership units, PS would own 42.3% of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock. PSB, as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in managing and controlling the Operating Partnership. PSB and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership are collectively referred to as the Company.
The Company is a fully-integrated, self-advised and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns, operates, acquires and develops commercial properties, primarily multi-tenant flex, office and industrial space. As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned and operated 29.7 million rentable square feet of commercial space located in eight states. The Company also manages 1.2 million rentable square feet on behalf of PS.
References to the number of properties or square footage are unaudited and outside the scope of the Companys independent registered public accounting firms review of the Companys financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2014. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PSB and the Operating Partnership. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Noncontrolling Interests
The Companys noncontrolling interests are reported as a component of equity separate from the parents equity. Purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control are accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests is included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and, upon a gain or loss of control, the interests purchased or sold, as well as any interests retained, are recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. At the end of each reporting period, the Company determines the amount of equity (book value of net assets) which is allocable to the noncontrolling interests based upon the ownership interest, and an adjustment is made to the noncontrolling interests, with a corresponding adjustment to paid-in capital, to reflect the noncontrolling interests equity interest in the Company.
7
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company monitors the collectability of its receivable balances including the deferred rent receivable on an ongoing basis. Based on these reviews, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the possible inability of tenants to make contractual rent payments to the Company. A provision for doubtful accounts is recorded during each period. The allowance for doubtful accounts, which represents the cumulative allowances less write-offs of uncollectible rent, is netted against tenant and other receivables on the consolidated balance sheets. Tenant receivables are net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts totaling $400,000 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Deferred rent receivable is net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts totaling $834,000 and $940,000 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Financial instruments
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are described below. The Company has estimated the fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of market value. Accordingly, estimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in current market exchanges. The Company determines the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The following is the fair value hierarchy:
| Level 1quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; |
| Level 2quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and |
| Level 3fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable |
Financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and receivables. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents, which consist primarily of money market investments, are only invested in entities with an investment grade rating. Receivables are comprised of balances due from a large number of customers. Balances that the Company expects to become uncollectible are reserved for or written off. Due to the short period to maturity of the Companys cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets and accrued and other liabilities, the carrying values as presented on the consolidated balance sheets are reasonable estimates of fair value.
Carrying values of the Companys mortgage notes payable, unsecured credit facility and term loan approximate fair value. The characteristics of these financial instruments, market data and other comparative metrics utilized in determining these fair values are Level 2 inputs.
8
Real estate facilities
Real estate facilities are recorded at cost. Costs related to the renovation or improvement of the properties are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that are expected to benefit a period greater than two years and exceed $2,000 are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life. Buildings and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from five to 30 years. Transaction costs, which include tenant improvements and lease commissions, in excess of $1,000 for leases with terms greater than one year are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Transaction costs less than $1,000 or for leases of one year or less are expensed as incurred.
Land and building held for development
Property taxes, insurance, interest and costs essential to the development of property for its intended use are capitalized during the period of development. Upon classification of an asset as held for development, depreciation of the asset is ceased.
Properties held for disposition
An asset is classified as an asset held for disposition when it meets certain requirements, which include, among other criteria, the approval of the sale of the asset, the marketing of the asset for sale and the expectation by the Company that the sale will likely occur within the next 12 months. Upon classification of an asset as held for disposition, depreciation of the asset is ceased, and the net book value of the asset is included on the balance sheet as properties held for disposition.
Intangible assets/liabilities
Intangible assets and liabilities include above-market and below-market in-place lease values of acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) managements estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values (included in other assets and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets) are amortized to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.
The Company recorded net increases in rental income of $244,000 and $441,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, due to the amortization of net intangible liabilities resulting from the above-market and below-market lease values. The Company recorded net reductions to rental income of $49,000 and $121,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, due to the amortization of net intangible assets resulting from the above-market and below-market lease values.
As of June 30, 2014, the value of in-place leases resulted in net intangible assets of $3.0 million, net of $7.2 million of accumulated amortization with a weighted average amortization period of 7.5 years, and net intangible liabilities of $4.2 million, net of $5.9 million of accumulated amortization with a weighted average amortization period of 4.6 years. As of December 31, 2013, the value of in-place leases resulted in net intangible assets of $3.7 million, net of $6.6 million of accumulated amortization and net intangible liabilities of $5.4 million, net of $4.8 million of accumulated amortization.
9
Evaluation of asset impairment
The Company evaluates its assets used in operations for impairment by identifying indicators of impairment and by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows for each asset to the assets carrying value. When indicators of impairment are present and the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the assets current carrying value and its value based on discounting its estimated future cash flows. In addition, the Company evaluates its assets held for disposition for impairment. Assets held for disposition are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less cost of disposition. At June 30, 2014, the Company did not consider any assets to be impaired.
Stock compensation
All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as stock compensation in the Companys income statement based on their grant date fair values. See Note 11.
Revenue and expense recognition
The Company must meet four basic criteria before revenue can be recognized: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. All leases are classified as operating leases. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Straight-line rent is recognized for all tenants with contractual fixed increases in rent that are not included on the Companys credit watch list. Deferred rent receivable represents rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis in excess of billed rents. Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as rental income in the period the applicable costs are incurred. Property management fees are recognized in the period earned.
Costs incurred in connection with leasing (primarily tenant improvements and lease commissions) are capitalized and amortized over the lease period.
Gains from sales of real estate facilities
The Company recognizes gains from sales of real estate facilities at the time of sale using the full accrual method, provided that various criteria related to the terms of the transactions and any subsequent involvement by the Company with the properties sold are met. If the criteria are not met, the Company defers the gains and recognizes them when the criteria are met or uses the installment or cost recovery methods as appropriate under the circumstances.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses include executive and other compensation, office expenses, professional fees, acquisition transaction costs, state income taxes and other such administrative items.
Income taxes
The Company has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT, as defined in Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, the Company is not subject to federal income tax to the extent that it distributes its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. A REIT must distribute at least 90% of its taxable income each year. In addition, REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operating requirements. The Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income. The Company believes it met all organization and operating requirements to maintain its REIT status during 2013 and intends to continue to meet such requirements for 2014. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
10
The Company can recognize a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not that a particular tax position will be sustained upon examination or audit. To the extent that the more likely than not standard has been satisfied, the benefit associated with a position is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being recognized upon settlement. As of June 30, 2014, the Company did not recognize any tax benefit for uncertain tax positions.
Accounting for preferred equity issuance costs
The Company records issuance costs as a reduction to paid-in capital on its balance sheet at the time the preferred securities are issued and reflects the carrying value of the preferred equity at the stated value. Such issuance costs are recorded as non-cash preferred equity distributions at the time the Company notifies the holders of preferred stock or units of its intent to redeem such shares or units.

Net income per common share
Per share amounts are computed using the number of weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding includes the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units under the treasury stock method. Basic weighted average common shares outstanding excludes such effect. The Companys restricted stock units are participating securities and are included in the computation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. The Companys restricted stock unit holders are paid non-forfeitable dividends in excess of the expense recorded which results in a reduction in net income allocable to common shareholders and unit holders. Earnings per share has been calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Options to purchase 16,000 and 14,000 shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because such options were considered anti-dilutive.
Segment reporting
The Company views its operations as one segment.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements for 2013 in order to conform to the 2014 presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In April, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued amendments to guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entitys financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and add new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014 (early adoption is permitted only for disposals that have not been previously reported). During the first quarter of 2014, the Company early adopted the amended guidance, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In May, 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The new accounting guidance establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning October 1, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

The purchase price of acquired properties is recorded to land, buildings and improvements and intangible assets and liabilities associated with in-place leases (including tenant improvements, unamortized lease commissions, value of above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place lease values, and tenant relationships, if any) based on their respective estimated fair values. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
12
In determining the fair value of the tangible assets of the acquired properties, management considers the value of the properties as if vacant as of the acquisition date. Management must make significant assumptions in determining the value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Using different assumptions in the recording of the purchase cost of the acquired properties would affect the timing of recognition of the related revenue and expenses. Amounts recorded to land are derived from comparable sales of land within the same region. Amounts recorded to buildings and improvements, tenant improvements and unamortized lease commissions are based on current market replacement costs and other market information. The amount recorded to acquired in-place leases is determined based on managements assessment of current market conditions and the estimated lease-up periods for the respective spaces.
On July 24, 2014, the Company acquired a 149,000 square foot building in Miami, Florida, for $12.7 million. The building, which is currently vacant, is a free standing building located within the Companys 3.3 million square foot Miami Industrial Commerce Center, which is currently 98.1% leased.
On July 28, 2014, the Company acquired a 19,000 square foot building in Dallas, Texas, for $1.1 million. The flex building, which is 100.0% occupied, is located in the Companys 389,000 square foot Araphao Business Park.
On December 20, 2013, the Company acquired Bayshore Corporate Commons, an eight-building, 340,000 square foot office park in San Mateo, California, for $60.5 million. On November 8, 2013, the Company acquired nine multi-tenant flex buildings in the Valwood submarket of Dallas, Texas, aggregating 245,000 square feet for $12.4 million. On October 15, 2013, the Company acquired four multi-tenant flex parks along with a four-acre parcel of land aggregating 559,000 square feet of single-story flex buildings located in Dallas, Texas, for a purchase price of $27.9 million. On July 26, 2013, the Company acquired a 389,000 square foot multi-tenant flex park consisting of 18 single-story buildings located in Dallas, Texas, for a purchase price of $14.8 million.
The Company owns three business parks, aggregating 1.3 million square feet, and 11.5 acres of land in Oregon that it is in the process of selling and therefore has classified such assets as properties held for disposition at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company anticipates the sale of such assets to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2014.
At the beginning of 2013, the Company reclassified a 125,000 square foot building located in Northern Virginia to land and building held for development as the Company intends to redevelop the property. In conjunction with the reclassification, the Company ceased depreciation of the asset. In July, 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with a real estate development company to pursue a multifamily development on the property. During the entitlement phase, all costs related to the pre-development will be split evenly between the Company and its joint venture partner. The Company will contribute the property to the joint venture upon completion of the entitlement phase. The asset and capitalized development costs were $17.4 million and $16.2 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company capitalized costs of $1.2 million related to this development, of which $457,000 related to capitalized interest costs.
4. Leasing activity
The Company leases space in its real estate facilities to tenants primarily under non-cancelable leases generally ranging from one to 10 years. Future minimum rental revenues, excluding recovery of operating expenses under these leases, are as follows as of June 30, 2014 (in thousands):

In addition to minimum rental payments, certain tenants reimburse the Company for their pro rata share of specified operating expenses. Such reimbursements amounted to $19.8 million and $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $40.8 million and $36.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts are included as rental income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Leases accounting for 3.6% of total leased square footage are subject to termination options which include leases accounting for 1.2% of total leased square footage having termination options exercisable through December 31, 2014. In general, these leases provide for termination payments should the termination options be exercised. The future minimum rental revenues in the above table assume such options are not exercised.
5. Bank loans
On April 28, 2014, the Company modified and extended the terms of its line of credit (the Credit Facility) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo). The expiration of the Credit Facility was extended from August 1, 2015 to May 1, 2019. The Credit Facility has a borrowing limit of $250.0 million. The rate of interest charged on borrowings was modified to a rate ranging from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.875% to LIBOR plus 1.70% depending on the Companys credit ratings. Currently, the Companys rate under the Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 0.925%. In addition, the Company is required to pay an annual facility fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% of the borrowing limit depending on the Companys credit ratings (currently 0.15%). The Company had no balance outstanding on the Credit Facility at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company had $1.1 million and $485,000 of unamortized commitment fees as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain covenants, with all of which the Company was in compliance as of June 30, 2014. Interest on outstanding borrowings is payable monthly.
The Company had a term loan with Wells Fargo (the Term Loan). Pursuant to the Term Loan, the Company borrowed $250.0 million for a three year term maturing December 31, 2014. The Term Loan was repaid in full in November, 2013. Interest on the amounts borrowed under the Term Loan was accrued based on an applicable rate ranging from LIBOR plus 1.15% to LIBOR plus 2.25% depending on the Companys credit ratings. During 2013, the Companys rate under the Term Loan was LIBOR plus 1.20%.
6. Mortgage note payable
The Company has one mortgage note payable with a fixed interest rate of 5.45%, secured by 4.8 million square feet of commercial properties with a net book value of $432.6 million. The interest is payable monthly, and the mortgage note payable has a maturity date of December, 2016. The Company had $250.0 million outstanding on the mortgage note payable as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
In January, 2013, the Company repaid two mortgage notes payable totaling $18.1 million with a combined stated interest rate of 5.60%.
7. Noncontrolling interests
As described in Note 2, the Company reports noncontrolling interests within equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the Companys shareholders equity. In addition, net income allocable to noncontrolling interests is shown as a reduction from net income in calculating net income allocable to common shareholders.
Common partnership units
The Company presents the accounts of PSB and the Operating Partnership on a consolidated basis. Ownership interests in the Operating Partnership that can be redeemed for common stock, other than PSBs interest, are classified as noncontrolling interests common units in the consolidated financial statements. Net income allocable to noncontrolling interests common units consists of the common units share of the consolidated operating results after allocation to preferred units and shares. Beginning one year from the date of admission as a limited partner (common units) and subject to certain limitations described below, each limited partner other than PSB has the right to require the redemption of its partnership interest.
14
A limited partner (common units) that exercises its redemption right will receive cash from the Operating Partnership in an amount equal to the market value (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement) of the partnership interests redeemed. In lieu of the Operating Partnership redeeming the common units for cash, PSB, as general partner, has the right to elect to acquire the partnership interest directly from a limited partner exercising its redemption right, in exchange for cash in the amount specified above or by issuance of one share of PSB common stock for each unit of limited partnership interest redeemed.
A limited partner (common units) cannot exercise its redemption right if delivery of shares of PSB common stock would be prohibited under the applicable articles of incorporation, or if the general partner believes that there is a risk that delivery of shares of common stock would cause the general partner to no longer qualify as a REIT, would cause a violation of the applicable securities laws, or would result in the Operating Partnership no longer being treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
At June 30, 2014, there were 7,305,355 common units owned by PS, which are accounted for as noncontrolling interests. Combined with PSs existing common stock ownership, on a fully converted basis, PS has a combined ownership of 42.3% of the Companys common equity.
Preferred partnership units
The Company had no preferred units outstanding through the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
8. Related party transactions
The Operating Partnership manages industrial, office and retail facilities for PS. These facilities, all located in the United States, operate under the Public Storage or PS Business Parks names. The PS Business Parks name and logo is owned by PS and licensed to the Company under a non-exclusive, royalty-free license agreement. The license can be terminated by either party for any reason with six months written notice.
Under the property management contract with PS, the Operating Partnership is compensated based on a percentage of the gross revenues of the facilities managed. Under the supervision of the property owners, the Operating Partnership coordinates rental policies, rent collections, marketing activities, the purchase of equipment and supplies, maintenance activities, and the selection and engagement of vendors, suppliers and independent contractors. In addition, the Operating Partnership assists and advises the property owners in establishing policies for the hire, discharge and supervision of employees for the operation of these facilities, including property managers and leasing, billing and maintenance personnel.
The property management contract with PS is for a seven-year term with the agreement automatically extending for an additional one-year period upon each one-year anniversary of its commencement (unless cancelled by either party). Either party can give notice of its intent to cancel the agreement upon expiration of its current term. Management fee revenues under this contract were $165,000 and $157,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $331,000 and $315,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

11. Stock compensation
PSB has a 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the 2003 Plan) and a 2012 Equity and Performance-Based Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2012 Plan) covering 1.5 million and 1.0 million shares of PSBs common stock, respectively. Under the 2003 Plan and 2012 Plan, PSB has granted non-qualified options to certain directors, officers and key employees to purchase shares of PSBs common stock at a price not less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $10.95 per share and $8.81 per share, respectively. The Company has calculated the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively: a dividend yield of 2.3% and 2.2% expected volatility of 17.7% and 16.7% expected life of five years; and risk-free interest rates of 1.7% and 0.7%.
No restricted stock units were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Effective March, 2014, the Company entered into a performance-based restricted stock unit program, the Senior Management Long-Term Equity Incentive Program for 2014-2017 (LTEIP), with selected employees of the Company. Under the LTEIP, the Company established three levels of targeted restricted stock unit awards for selected employees, which would be earned only if the Company achieved one of three defined targets during 2014 to 2017. The first type of award is an annual award following the end of each of the four years in the program, with the award subject to and based on the achievement of one of three defined targets during the previous year. The second type of award is an award based on achieving one of three defined targets during the cumulative four-year period 2014-2017. In the event the minimum defined target is not achieved for an annual award, the shares allocated to be awarded for such year are added to the shares that may be received if the four-year target is achieved. Both types of restricted stock unit awards vest in four equal annual installments beginning from the date of award. Up to approximately 83,657 restricted stock units would be granted for each of the four years assuming achievement was met and up to approximately 83,657 restricted stock units would be granted for the cumulative four-year period assuming achievement was met. Compensation expense is recognized based on the shares expected to be awarded based on the target level that is expected to be achieved. Net compensation expense of $2.4 million and $3.2 million related to the LTEIP was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
Effective January 1, 2012, the Company entered into a performance-based restricted stock unit program, the Senior Management Long-Term Equity Incentive Program for 2012-2015 (2012 LTEIP), with selected employees of the Company. The targets for 2012 and 2013 were not achieved and management determined in 2013 that it was not probable that the targets under the 2012 LTEIP will be met. As such, the Company stopped recording amortization as of September 30, 2013. Net compensation of $917,000 and $2.0 million related to the 2012 LTEIP was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and was reversed during the three months ended December 31, 2013.
Included in the Companys consolidated statements of income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, was $108,000 and $103,000, respectively, in net compensation expense related to stock options. Net compensation expense of $230,000 and $218,000 related to stock options was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding the LTEIP amortization of $2.4 million and $917,000, respectively, net compensation expense of $108,000 and $117,000 related to restricted stock units was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding the LTEIP amortization of $3.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively, net compensation of $284,000 and $312,000 related to restricted stock units was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

As of June 30, 2014, there was $695,000 of unamortized compensation expense related to stock options expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years. As of June 30, 2014, there was $33.3 million (includes $31.7 million from the LTEIP) of unamortized compensation expense related to restricted stock units expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 5.4 years.
Cash received from 49,273 stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $2.4 million. Cash received from 76,300 stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $3.7 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options exercised was $1.7 million and $2.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 8,430 restricted stock units vested; in settlement of these units, 5,341 shares were issued, net of shares applied to payroll taxes. The aggregate fair value of the shares vested for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $708,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, 9,110 restricted stock units vested; in settlement of these units, 5,796 shares were issued, net of shares applied to payroll taxes. The aggregate fair value of the shares vested for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $695,000.
In May of 2004, the shareholders of the Company approved the issuance of up to 70,000 shares of common stock under the Retirement Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the Director Plan). Under the Director Plan, the Company grants 1,000 shares of common stock for each year served as a director up to a maximum of 5,000 shares issued upon retirement. In December of 2011, the Director Plan was amended to increase the maximum shares from 5,000 shares to 7,000 shares, 1,000 shares of common stock for each year served as a director. The Company recognizes compensation expense with regards to grants to be issued in the future under the Director Plan. As a result, included in the Companys consolidated statements of income was $77,000 and $67,000 in compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $153,000 and $134,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, there was $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of unamortized compensation expense related to these shares. No shares were issued during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Overview
As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned and operated 29.7 million rentable square feet of multi-tenant flex, industrial and office properties located in eight states.
The Company focuses on increasing profitability and cash flow aimed at maximizing shareholder value. The Company strives to maintain high occupancy levels while increasing rental rates when market conditions allow, although the Company may decrease rental rates in markets where conditions require. The Company also acquires properties it believes will create long-term value, and from time to time disposes of properties which no longer fit within the Companys strategic objectives. Operating results are driven primarily by income from rental operations and are therefore substantially influenced by rental demand for space within our properties and our markets, which impacts occupancy and rental rates.
During the first six months of 2014, the Company executed leases comprising 4.5 million square feet of space including 2.8 million square feet of renewals of existing leases and 1.7 million square feet of new leases. Overall, the change in rental rates for the Company continued to improve. The Company experienced an increase in rental rates when comparing new rental rates to outgoing rental rates of 1.1% and 0.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to a decrease of 1.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. See further discussion of operating results below.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:
Our accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. We believe our most critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, property acquisitions, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation, accruals of operating expenses and accruals for contingencies, each of which are more fully described in Part I, Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Effect of Economic Conditions on the Companys Operations: During the first six months of 2014, most markets reflected signs of improving occupancy and rental rates, overall new rental rates for the Company experienced a modest increase over expiring rental rates on executed leases as economic conditions continue to improve. Current and future economic conditions and competition may continue to have a significant impact on the Company, potentially resulting in further reductions in occupancy and rental rates.
The Company historically has experienced a low level of write-offs of uncollectable rents, but there is inherent uncertainty in a tenants ability to continue paying rent and meet its full lease obligation. The table below summarizes the impact to the Company from tenants inability to pay rent or continue to meet their lease obligations (in thousands):

As of July 28, 2014, the Company had 16,000 square feet of leased space occupied by tenants that are protected by Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. From time to time, tenants contact us, requesting early termination of their lease, a reduction in space under lease, or rent deferment or abatement. At this time, the Company cannot anticipate what impact, if any, the ultimate outcome of these discussions will have on our future operating results.
Company Performance and Effect of Economic Conditions on Primary Markets: The Companys operations are substantially concentrated in 10 regions. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, initial rental rates on new and renewed leases within the Companys total portfolio increased 0.2% over expiring rents, with the increase in the three months ended June 30, 2014 being 1.1%. The Companys Same Park (defined below) occupancy rate at June 30, 2014 was 92.8%, compared to 91.4% at June 30, 2013. The Companys total portfolio occupancy rate at June 30, 2014 was 91.5%, compared to 90.3% at June 30, 2013. Each of the 10 regions in which the Company owns assets is subject to its own unique market influences. See Supplemental Property Data and Trends below for more information on regional operating data.
Effect of Acquisitions and Dispositions of Properties on the Companys Operations: The Company is focused on growing its operations by looking for opportunities to expand its presence in existing and new markets through strategic acquisitions that meet the Companys focus on multi-tenant flex, industrial and office parks in markets where it has or may obtain a substantial market presence. The Company may from time to time dispose of assets based on market conditions.
On July 24, 2014, the Company acquired a 149,000 square foot building in Miami, Florida, for $12.7 million. The building, which is currently vacant, is a free standing building located within the Companys 3.3 million square foot Miami Industrial Commerce Center, which is currently 98.1% leased.
On July 28, 2014, the Company acquired a 19,000 square foot building in Dallas, Texas, for $1.1 million. The flex building, which is 100.0% occupied, is located in the Companys 389,000 square foot Araphao Business Park.
The Company is pursuing the sale of its portfolio in the Portland, Phoenix and Sacramento markets. The assets owned in these markets comprise an aggregate 2.4 million square feet and accounted for 7.3% of the Companys net operating income (see page 22 for definition) in 2013. The Company anticipates closing on the sale of the assets in Portland in the fourth quarter of 2014. The ultimate timing and probability of the sale of the Phoenix and Sacramento markets are uncertain at this time as the marketing process is still underway.
21
On December 20, 2013, the Company acquired Bayshore Corporate Commons, an eight-building, 340,000 square foot office park in San Mateo, California, for $60.5 million. On November 8, 2013, the Company acquired nine multi-tenant flex buildings in the Valwood submarket of Dallas, Texas, aggregating 245,000 square feet for $12.4 million. On October 15, 2013, the Company acquired four multi-tenant flex parks along with a four-acre parcel of land aggregating 559,000 square feet of single-story flex buildings located in Dallas, Texas, for a purchase price of $27.9 million. On July 26, 2013, the Company acquired a 389,000 square foot multi-tenant flex park consisting of 18 single-story buildings located in Dallas, Texas, for a purchase price of $14.8 million.
As of June 30, 2014, the blended occupancy rate of the six assets acquired from 2012 to 2013 was 78.4% compared to a blended occupancy rate of 67.7% at the time of acquisition. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had 587,000 square feet of vacancy spread over these six acquisitions which we believe provides the Company with considerable opportunity to generate additional rental income given that the Companys Same Park assets in these same submarkets have a weighted occupancy of 93.7% at June 30, 2014. The table below contains the assets acquired from 2012 to 2013 (in thousands):

At the beginning of 2013, the Company reclassified a 125,000 square foot building located in Northern Virginia to land and building held for development as the Company intends to redevelop the property. In conjunction with the reclassification, the Company ceased depreciation of the asset. In July, 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with a real estate development company to pursue a multifamily development of this property. During the entitlement phase, all costs related to the pre-development will be split evenly between the Company and its joint venture partner. The Company will contribute the property to the joint venture upon completion of the entitlement phase. The asset and capitalized development costs were $17.4 million and $16.2 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company capitalized costs of $1.2 million related to this development, of which $457,000 related to capitalized interest costs.
Scheduled Lease Expirations: In addition to the 2.5 million square feet, or 8.4%, of space available in our total portfolio as of June 30, 2014, 1,163 leases representing 13.1% of the leased square footage of our total portfolio or 12.2% of annualized rental income are scheduled to expire during the remainder of 2014. Our ability to re-lease available space will depend upon market conditions in the specific submarkets in which our properties are located. As a result, we cannot predict with certainty the rate at which expiring leases will be re-leased.
Impact of Inflation: Although inflation has not been significant in recent years, it remains a potential factor in our economy, and the Company continues to seek ways to mitigate its potential impact. A substantial portion of the Companys leases require tenants to pay operating expenses, including real estate taxes, utilities, and insurance, as well as increases in common area expenses, partially reducing the Companys exposure to inflation.
Rental income, cost of operations and rental income less cost of operations, excluding depreciation and amortization, or net operating income (defined as NOI for purposes of the following tables), are summarized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company uses NOI and its components as a measurement of the performance of its commercial real estate. Management believes that these financial measures provide them, as well as the investor, the most consistent measurement on a comparative basis of the performance of the commercial real estate and its contribution to the value of the Company. Depreciation and amortization have been excluded from NOI as they are generally not used in determining the value of commercial real estate by management or the investment community. Depreciation and amortization are generally not used in determining value as they consider the historical costs of an asset compared to its current value; therefore, to understand the effect of the assets historical cost on the Companys results, investors should look at GAAP financial measures, such as total operating costs including depreciation and amortization. The Companys calculation of NOI may not be comparable to those of other companies and should not be used as an alternative to measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. As part of the tables below, we have reconciled total NOI to income from continuing operations, which we consider the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
22
In order to provide a meaningful period-to-period comparison, the tables below exclude amortization of the Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (LTEIP) in cost of operations (for field leadership) and general and administrative expenses (for executive management).
Concentration of Portfolio by Region: The table below reflects the Companys square footage from continuing operations based on regional concentration as of June 30, 2014. As part of the table below, we have reconciled total NOI to income from continuing operations (in thousands):

Comparative Analysis of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Results of Operations: In order to evaluate the performance of the Companys portfolio over comparable periods, management analyzes the operating performance of properties owned and operated throughout both periods (herein referred to as Same Park). The Same Park portfolio includes all operating properties owned or acquired prior to January 1, 2012. Operating properties that the Company acquired subsequent to January 1, 2012 are referred to as Non-Same Park. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Same Park facilities constitute 27.0 million rentable square feet, representing 90.9% of the 29.7 million square feet in the Companys portfolio as of June 30, 2014.

Rental Income: Rental income increased $6.1 million from $87.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $94.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of a $4.0 million increase in rental income from Non-Same Park facilities combined with an increase in rental income from the Same Park portfolio of $2.0 million, or 2.3%. Rental income increased $13.3 million from $176.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $189.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of an $8.5 million increase in rental income from Non-Same Park facilities combined with an increase in rental income from the Same Park portfolio of $4.7 million, or 2.7%. The Same Park increase was due to an increase in occupancy, while the increase in Non-Same Park was due to a combination of an increase in occupancy and the acquisition of additional parks during the latter half of 2013.
Facility Management Fees: Facility management fees, derived from Public Storage (PS), account for a small portion of the Companys revenues. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, $165,000 of revenue was recognized from facility management fees compared to $157,000 for the same period in 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, $331,000 in revenue was recognized from facility management fees compared to $315,000 for the same period in 2013.

Cost of Operations: Excluding the LTEIP amortization noted above, cost of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $30.7 million compared to $28.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $2.2 million, or 7.7%, as a result of an increase in the Same Park portfolio of $315,000, or 1.1%, combined with an increase from the Non-Same Park facilities of $1.9 million. Cost of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $63.8 million compared to $57.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $6.3 million, or 10.9%, as a result of an increase in the Same Park portfolio of $2.7 million, or 4.8%, combined with an increase from the Non-Same Park facilities of $3.6 million. While the three month increase in Same Park costs of operations was primarily a result of an increase in occupancy, the six month increase was driven by an increase in snow removal costs of $1.6 million in Maryland and Virginia as a result of severe winter storms in 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Including the LTEIP amortization, cost of operations increased $2.8 million from $28.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $31.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of a $871,000 increase in cost of operations from the Same Park portfolio combined with a $1.9 million increase in cost of operations from the Non-Same Park facilities. Cost of operations increased $6.9 million from $58.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $65.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of a $3.2 million increase in cost of operations from the Same Park portfolio combined with a $3.6 million increase in cost of operations from the Non-Same Park facilities.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense: Depreciation and amortization expense was $28.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $26.6 million for the same period in 2013. Depreciation and amortization expense was $56.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $53.6 million for the same period in 2013.
General and Administrative Expenses: Excluding the LTEIP amortization, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, general and administrative expenses increased $157,000, or 9.3%, and $397,000, or 11.7%, respectively, over the same periods in 2013 primarily due to the July, 2013 increases in executive compensation as well as an increase in legal costs. Including the LTEIP amortization, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, general and administrative expenses increased $993,000, or 41.9%, and $1.1 million, or 22.7%, respectively, over the same periods in 2013.
Interest and Other Expenses: Interest and other expenses was $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Interest and other expenses was $6.8 million and $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The three and six month decrease in interest and other expenses were primarily attributable to the repayment of the term loan and mortgage notes payable of $18.1 million during 2013 combined with interest capitalized in 2014. The Company capitalized interest of $233,000 and $457,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
Net Income Allocable to Noncontrolling Interests: Net income allocable to noncontrolling interests reflects the net income allocable to equity interests in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by the Company. Net income allocable to noncontrolling interests was $2.7 million and $2.6 million of allocated income to common unit holders for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net income allocable to noncontrolling interests was $5.4 million and $5.2 million of allocated income to common unit holders for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These increases were due to an increase in net operating income combined with a decrease in interest expense, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents increased $31.0 million from $31.5 million at December 31, 2013 to $62.5 million at June 30, 2014 for the reasons noted below.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $116.5 million and $105.6 million, respectively. The increase of $10.9 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to an increase in net operating income of $7.0 million. Management believes that the Companys internally generated net cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient to enable it to meet its operating expenses, capital improvements, debt service requirements and distributions to shareholders for the foreseeable future.
29
Net cash used in investing activities was $23.5 million and $24.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The change was primarily due a decrease in capital improvements of $2.5 million, partially offset by an increase in development costs of $1.2 million incurred related to the multifamily development project in Northern Virginia.
Net cash used in financing activities was $62.0 million and $75.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The change was primarily due to debt repayment of $128.1 million using net proceeds from preferred equity issuance of $106.3 million in 2013, partially offset by an increase in preferred and common distributions as a result of the preferred equity issuance and common dividend increase effective March, 2014.
The Company had outstanding mortgage note payable of $250.0 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. See Notes 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements for a summary of the Companys outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2014.
On April 28, 2014, the Company modified and extended the terms of its line of credit (the Credit Facility) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo). The expiration of the Credit Facility was extended from August 1, 2015 to May 1, 2019. The Credit Facility has a borrowing limit of $250.0 million. The rate of interest charged on borrowings was modified to a rate ranging from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.875% to LIBOR plus 1.70% depending on the Companys credit ratings. Currently, the Companys rate under the Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 0.925%. In addition, the Company is required to pay an annual facility fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% of the borrowing limit depending on the Companys credit ratings (currently 0.15%). The Company had no balance outstanding on the Credit Facility at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company had $1.1 million and $485,000 of unamortized commitment fees as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance June 30, 2014. Interest on outstanding borrowings is payable monthly.
The Company had a term loan with Wells Fargo (the Term Loan). Pursuant to the Term Loan, the Company borrowed $250.0 million for a three year term maturing December 31, 2014. The Term Loan was repaid in full in November, 2013. Interest on the amounts borrowed under the Term Loan was accrued based on an applicable rate ranging from LIBOR plus 1.15% to LIBOR plus 2.25% depending on the Companys credit ratings. During 2013, the Companys rate under the Term Loan was LIBOR plus 1.20%.
The Companys preferred equity outstanding decreased to 24.3% of its market capitalization during the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase in the Companys stock price from $76.42 at December 31, 2013 to $83.49 at June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had one fixed-rate mortgage note totaling $250.0 million, which represented 6.1% of its total market capitalization. The Company calculates market capitalization by adding (1) the liquidation preference of the Companys outstanding preferred equity, (2) principal value of the Companys outstanding debt and (3) the total number of common shares and common units outstanding at June 30, 2014 multiplied by the closing price of the stock on that date. The interest rate for the mortgage note is 5.45% per annum. The Company had 20.6% of its properties, in terms of net book value, encumbered at June 30, 2014.
The Company focuses on retaining cash for reinvestment as we believe that this provides the greatest level of financial flexibility. While operating results have been negatively impacted by the slow economic conditions, we believe it is likely that as the economy recovers and operating fundamentals improve, additional increases in distributions to the Companys common shareholders will be required. Going forward, the Company will continue to monitor its taxable income and the corresponding dividend requirements. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company increased its quarterly dividend from $0.44 per common share to $0.50 per common share, increasing quarterly distributions by approximately $2.0 million per quarter. As noted above in Effect of Acquisitions and Dispositions of Properties on the Companys Operations, the Company anticipates closing on the sale of its assets in Portland during the fourth quarter of 2014. The Company anticipates that the sale will generate taxable gains. If the Company is unable to acquire suitable properties to defer such gain, it would likely have to pay a special dividend to its shareholders.
30
Issuance of Preferred Stock: On March 14, 2013, the Company issued $110.0 million or 4.4 million depositary shares, each representing 1/1,000 of a share of the 5.70% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series V, at $25.00 per depositary share.
Issuance of Common Stock: On November 7, 2013, the Company sold 1,495,000 shares of common stock in a public offering and concurrently sold 950,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price to PS. The aggregate net proceeds were $192.3 million.
Repurchase of Common Stock: No shares of common stock were repurchased under the board approved common stock repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Mortgage Note Repayment: In January, 2013, the Company repaid two mortgage notes payable totaling $18.1 million with a combined weighted average stated interest rate of 5.60%.
Capital Expenditures: The Company defines recurring capital expenditures as those necessary to maintain and operate its commercial real estate at its current economic value. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company expended $20.5 million and $21.0 million, respectively, in recurring capital expenditures, or $0.69 and $0.75 per weighted average square foot owned, respectively. Tenant improvement amounts exclude those amounts reimbursed by the tenant. Nonrecurring capital improvements include property renovations and expenditures related to repositioning acquisitions.

The decrease in recurring capital expenditures of $554,000, or 2.6%, was primarily due to cash paid for several significant tenant improvements projects within the Same Park portfolio in 2013. The decrease in nonrecurring capital expenditures of $1.9 million, or 51.8%, was due to $2.2 million of repositioning projects spent on 2012 acquisitions in 2013, partially offset by repositioning projects relating to 2013 acquisitions.
31
Distributions: The Company has elected and intends to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. In order to maintain its status as a REIT, the Company must meet, among other tests, sources of income, share ownership and certain asset tests. As a REIT, the Company is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders provided that at least 90% of its taxable income is distributed to its shareholders prior to the filing of its tax return.
The Companys funding strategy has been to primarily use permanent capital, including common and preferred stock, along with internally generated retained cash flows to meet its liquidity needs. In addition, the Company may sell properties that no longer meet its investment criteria. From time to time, the Company may use its Credit Facility or other forms of debt to facilitate real estate acquisitions or other capital allocations. The Company targets a minimum ratio of FFO to combined fixed charges and preferred distributions of 3.0 to 1.0. Fixed charges include interest expense and capitalized interest while preferred distributions include amounts paid to preferred shareholders and preferred Operating Partnership unit holders. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the FFO to fixed charges and preferred distributions coverage ratio was 3.2 to 1.0, excluding the charge for the issuance costs related to the redemption of preferred equity.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Disclosure Measure: Funds from Operations: Management believes that Funds from Operations (FFO) is a useful supplemental measure of the Companys operating performance. The Company computes FFO in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). The White Paper defines FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, before depreciation, amortization, gains or losses on asset dispositions, net income allocable to noncontrolling interests common units, net income allocable to restricted stock unit holders, impairment charges and nonrecurring items. Management believes that FFO provides a useful measure of the Companys operating performance and when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income.
FFO should be analyzed in conjunction with net income. However, FFO should not be viewed as a substitute for net income as a measure of operating performance or liquidity as it does not reflect depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditure and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Companys properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially affect the Companys results of operations.
Management believes FFO provides useful information to the investment community about the Companys operating performance when compared to the performance of other real estate companies as FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting operations of REITs. Other REITs may use different methods for calculating FFO and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to other real estate companies.

Adjusted FFO allocable to common and dilutive shares increased $4.3 million and $7.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013. The three and six month increase in FFO was primarily the result of increases in both Same Park and Non-Same Park NOI. Reported FFO per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 was flat due to LTEIP amortization. Both adjusted and reported FFO per share were impacted by an increase in shares outstanding as a result of the November, 2013 common equity offering.

Related Party Transactions: Assuming issuance of the Companys common stock upon redemption of its partnership units, PS would own 42.3% of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock. At June 30, 2014, PS owned 26.6% of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock and 22.2% of the outstanding common units of the Operating Partnership (100.0% of the common units not owned by the Company). Ronald L. Havner, Jr., the Companys chairman, is also the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of PS. Gary E. Pruitt, an independent director of the Company is also a trustee of PS.
Pursuant to a cost sharing and administrative services agreement, the Company shares costs with PS for certain administrative services and rental of corporate office space. The administrative services include investor relations, legal, corporate tax and information systems, which were allocated to PS in accordance with a methodology intended to fairly allocate those costs. These costs totaled $118,000 and $108,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $226,000 and $216,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, the Company provides property management services for properties owned by PS for a management fee of 5% of the gross revenues of such properties in addition to reimbursement of direct costs. These management fee revenues recognized under management contract with PS totaled $165,000 and $157,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $331,000 and $315,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. PS also provides property management services for the self-storage component of two assets owned by the Company for a fee of 6% of the gross revenues of such properties in addition to reimbursement of certain costs. Management fee expense recognized under the management contract with PS totaled $17,000 and $14,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $33,000 and $28,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The PS Business Parks name and logo is owned by PS and licensed to the Company under a non-exclusive, royalty-free license agreement. The license can be terminated by either party for any reason with six months written notice.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements: The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Contractual Obligations: The Company is scheduled to pay cash dividends of $60.5 million per year on its preferred equity outstanding as of June 30, 2014. Dividends are paid when and if declared by the Companys Board of Directors and accumulate if not paid. Shares and units of preferred equity are redeemable by the Company in order to preserve its status as a REIT and are also redeemable five years after issuance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
To limit the Companys exposure to market risk, the Company principally finances its operations and growth with permanent equity capital consisting of either common or preferred stock. The Company, from time to time, will use debt financing to facilitate acquisitions. In connection with a portfolio acquisition in 2011, the Company assumed a $250.0 million mortgage note and obtained a $250.0 million Term Loan. The outstanding balance on the Term Loan was fully repaid in November, 2013. As a result, the Companys debt as a percentage of total equity (based on book values) was 13.1% as of June 30, 2014.
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Credit Facility, which is subject to variable interest rates. See Notes 2, 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the terms, valuations and approximate principal maturities of the Companys indebtedness, including the mortgage note payable, Credit Facility and Term Loan. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company, the difference between the carrying amount of debt and its fair value is insignificant.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of June 30, 2014. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2014, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
No change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
The Company currently is neither subject to any material litigation nor, to managements knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against the Company other than routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Companys Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase, from time to time, of up to 6.5 million shares of the Companys common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The authorization has no expiration date. Purchases will be made subject to market conditions and other investment opportunities available to the Company.
35
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, there were no shares of the Companys common stock repurchased. As of June 30, 2014, 1,614,721 shares remain available for purchase under the program.
See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on repurchases of equity securities.
