Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (cont.)
June 30, 2018
(unaudited)
Basis of Quarterly Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2018 and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The operating results for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned or controlled by us. Entities which we do not control through our voting interest and entities which are variable interest entities, but where we are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for under the equity method. See Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments" and Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
We consolidate a variable interest entity, or VIE, in which we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.
Investment in Commercial Real Estate Properties
We allocate the purchase price of real estate to land and building (inclusive of tenant improvements) and, if determined to be material, intangibles, such as the value of above- and below-market leases and origination costs associated with the in-place leases. We depreciate the amount allocated to building (inclusive of tenant improvements) over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 40 years. We amortize the amount allocated to the above- and below-market leases over the remaining term of the associated lease, which generally range from one to 14 years, and record it as either an increase (in the case of below-market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) to rental income. We amortize the amount allocated to the values associated with in-place leases over the expected term of the associated lease, which generally ranges from one to 14 years. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible will be written off. The tenant improvements and origination costs are amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the lease (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date). We assess fair value of the leases based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property. To the extent acquired leases contain fixed rate renewal options that are below-market and determined to be material, we amortize such below-market lease value into rental income over the renewal period.
On a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indications that the value of our real estate properties may be other than temporarily impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. A property's value is considered impaired if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the calculated fair value of the property. We also evaluate our real estate properties for impairment when a property has been classified as held for sale. Real estate assets held for sale are valued at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.
We recognized $1.8 million and $4.2 million of rental revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $4.2 million and $8.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, for the amortization of aggregate below-market leases in excess of above-market leases and a reduction in lease origination costs, resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of the applicable properties.

Fair Value Measurements
See Note 12, "Fair Value Measurements."
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We assess our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for recoverability, and if it is determined that a loss in value of the investment is other than temporary, we write down the investment to its fair value. We evaluate our equity investments for impairment based on the joint ventures' projected discounted cash flows. We do not believe that the values of any of our equity investments were impaired at June 30, 2018.
Reserve for Possible Credit Losses
The reserve for possible credit losses in connection with debt and preferred equity investments is the charge to earnings to increase the allowance for possible credit losses to the level that we estimate to be adequate, based on Level 3 data, considering delinquencies, loss experience and collateral quality. Other factors considered include geographic trends, product diversification, the size of the portfolio and current economic conditions. Based upon these factors, we establish a provision for possible credit loss on each individual investment. When it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts contractually due, the investment is considered impaired.
Where impairment is indicated on an investment that is held to maturity, a valuation allowance is measured based upon the excess of the recorded investment amount over the fair value of the collateral. Any deficiency between the carrying amount of an asset and the calculated value of the collateral is charged to expense. We continue to assess or adjust our estimates based on circumstances of a loan and the underlying collateral. If additional information reflects increased recovery of our investment, we will adjust our reserves accordingly. There were no loan reserves recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.
Debt and preferred equity investments held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value using available market information obtained through consultation with dealers or other originators of such investments as well as discounted cash flow models based on Level 3 data pursuant to ASC 820-10. As circumstances change, management may conclude not to sell an investment designated as held for sale. In such situations, the investment will be reclassified at its net carrying value to debt and preferred equity investments held to maturity. For these reclassified investments, the difference between the current carrying value and the expected cash to be collected at maturity will be accreted into income over the remaining term of the investment.
Income Taxes
ROP is a disregarded entity of SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. for federal income tax purposes, and, as a result, all income and losses of ROP are considered income and losses of SL Green Operating Partnership, L. P. No provision has been made for income taxes in the consolidated financial statements since such taxes, if any, are the responsibility of the individual partners of SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.

Shares Contributed by Parent Company
We present shares of SL Green common stock as a contra-equity account within general partner capital in our consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments, debt and preferred equity investments and accounts receivable. We place our cash investments with high quality financial institutions. The collateral securing our debt and preferred equity investments is located in the New York metropolitan area. See Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments."
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our tenants and require most tenants to provide security deposits or letters of credit. Though these security deposits and letters of credit are insufficient to meet the total value of a tenant's lease obligation, they are a measure of good faith and a source of funds to offset the economic costs associated with lost revenue and the costs associated with re-tenanting a space. The properties in our real estate portfolio are located in the New York metropolitan area. The tenants located in our buildings operate in various industries. No tenant in our portfolio accounted for more than 5.0% of our share of annualized cash rent, including our share of joint venture annualized rent, at June 30, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, 16.0%, 10.5%, 8.5%, 8.3%, 8.1%, 7.2%, 7.1%, 6.8% and 5.5% of our annualized cash rent was attributable to 1185 Avenue of the Americas, 625 Madison Avenue, 919 Third Avenue, 750 Third Avenue, 810 Seventh Avenue, 555 West 57th Street, 125 Park Avenue, 1350 Avenue of the Americas, and 711 Third Avenue, respectively. Annualized cash rent for all other properties was below 5.0%.
Reclassification
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to our current year presentation.
Accounting Standards Updates
In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments- Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. These amendments provide additional guidance related to equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, forward contracts and options purchased on those equity securities and fair value option liabilities. The guidance will be effective for the Company in the interim period beginning after June 15, 2018. The Company has not yet adopted this new guidance and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the new standard is implemented.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in the new standard will permit more flexibility in hedging interest rate risk for both variable rate and fixed rate financial instruments. The standard will also enhance the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet adopted the guidance, and does not expect a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the new standard is implemented.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The guidance requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between these items on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018 and has included the changes in restricted cash when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts on the statement of cash flows.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current ‘incurred loss’ model with an ‘expected loss’ approach. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted after December 15, 2018. The Company has not yet adopted this new

guidance and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, and in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. This guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under the previous standard. Depending on the lease classification, lessees will recognize expense based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. The accounting applied by a lessor, inclusive of the effect of a practical expedient offered in ASU No. 2018-11 that allows lessors to not separate non-lease components from the related lease components under certain conditions, which the Company expects most of its leases to qualify for and to adopt, is largely unchanged from that applied under the previous standard. However, the Company will apply this guidance to the ground leases under which the Company is lessee. The Company is required to record a liability for the obligation to make payments under the lease and an asset for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term and will also apply the new expense recognition requirements given the lease classification. The Company is currently quantifying these impacts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt this guidance January 1, 2019 and will apply the modified retrospective approach.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The guidance requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value through earnings, to record changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities measured under the fair value option in other comprehensive income, use the exit price notion when measuring an instrument’s fair value for disclosure and to separately present financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of instrument on the balance sheet or in the notes to the financial statements. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2018, and it had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued a new comprehensive revenue recognition guidance which requires us to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services (ASU 2014-09). The FASB also issued implementation guidance in March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016 - ASU’s 2016-08, 2016-10 and 2016-12, respectively. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018. Since the Company’s revenue is related to leasing activities, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The new guidance is applicable to service contracts with joint ventures for which the Company earns property management fees, leasing commissions and development and construction fees. The adoption of this new guidance did not change the accounting for these fees as the pattern of recognition of revenue does not change with the new guidance. We will continue to recognize revenue over time on these contracts because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by our performance.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05 to clarify the scope of asset derecognition guidance in Subtopic 610-20, which also provided guidance on accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Subtopic 610-20 was issued in May 2014 as part of ASU 2014-09. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018, and applied the modified retrospective approach. The Company elected to adopt the practical expedient under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which allows an entity to apply the guidance only to contracts with non-customers that are open based on ASU 360-20, Real Estate Sales, (i.e. failed sales) as of the adoption date. The adoption had no impact on the consolidated financial statements as the Company had no open contracts based on ASC 360-20 as of December 31, 2017.
3. Property Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we did not acquire any properties from a third party.
4. Properties Held for Sale and Property Dispositions

At June 30, 2018, all debt and preferred equity investments were performing in accordance with the terms of the relevant investments, with the exception of a junior mortgage participation acquired in September 2014, which was acquired for zero and has a carrying value of zero, as discussed in subnote 3 of the Debt Investments table above, and a mezzanine loan for which the June 2018 interest payment was outstanding as of June 30, 2018 and was subsequently received in July 2018, as discussed in subnote 6 of the Debt Investments table above.
At December 31, 2017, all debt and preferred equity investments were performing in accordance with the terms of the relevant investments with the exception of a junior mortgage participation acquired in September 2014, which was acquired for zero and has a carrying value of zero, as discussed in subnote 3 of the Debt Investments table above, and our investment in 2 Herald Square, which was purchased in maturity default and was subsequently distributed to SL Green in the first quarter of 2018. In May 2018, SL Green was the successful bidder for the leasehold interest at the foreclosure of the asset and assigned the Company a 49.0% tenancy in common interest in the leasehold interest.
We have determined that we have one portfolio segment of financing receivables at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 comprising commercial real estate which is primarily recorded in debt and preferred equity investments. Included in other assets is an additional amount of financing receivables totaling $117.9 million and $93.4 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. No financing receivables were 90 days past due at June 30, 2018.
6. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We have investments in several real estate joint ventures with various partners. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, none of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures were VIEs. All of the investments below are voting interest entities. As we do not control the joint ventures listed below, we account for them under the equity method of accounting.
The table below provides general information on each of our joint ventures as of June 30, 2018:
|

| |
(2) | Acquisition date and price represent the date on which the Company initially acquired an interest in the joint venture and the actual or implied gross purchase price for the joint venture on that date. Acquisition date and price are not adjusted for subsequent acquisitions or dispositions of interest. |
| |
(3) | In January 2018, the partnership agreement for our investment was modified resulting in the Company no longer having a controlling interest in this investment. As a result the investment was deconsolidated as of January 1, 2018. The Company recorded its non-controlling interest at fair value resulting in a $54.9 million fair value adjustment in the consolidated statement of operations. This fair value was allocated to the assets and liabilities, including identified intangibles of the property. |
| |
(4) | In May 2017, the Company contributed a mezzanine loan secured by a commercial property in midtown Manhattan to a joint venture and retained a 33.33% interest in the venture. The carrying value is net of $10.0 million that was sold, which is included in other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as a result of the transfers not meeting the conditions for sale accounting. The loan was repaid in August 2018. |
| |
(5) | In May 2018, SL Green assigned the Company a 49.0% tenancy-in-common interest in the leasehold interest in 2 Herald Square and entered into an agreement to sell this investment. Consolidation of this investment is not required as such interest does not qualify as a VIE and does not meet the control requirement for consolidation. Accordingly, we account for this investment using the equity method of accounting. We use the equity method of accounting because the shared decision-making involved in a tenancy-in-common interest investment provides us with significant influence on the operating and financial decisions of this investment. |
Acquisition, Development and Construction Arrangements
Based on the characteristics of the following arrangements, which are similar to those of an investment, combined with the expected residual profit of not greater than 50%, we have accounted for these debt and preferred equity investments under the equity method. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying value for acquisition, development and construction arrangements were as follows (in thousands):

(2) | Our investment in the property was deconsolidated as of January 1, 2018. See Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures". |
| |
(3) | In June 2018, we exercised a 12-month extension option. |
At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the gross book value of the properties and debt and preferred equity investments collateralizing the mortgages and other loans payable, not including assets held for sale, was approximately $1.0 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively.
Master Repurchase Agreements
The Company has entered into two Master Repurchase Agreements, or MRAs, known as the 2016 MRA and 2017 MRA, which provide us with the ability to sell certain debt investments with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same at a certain date or on demand. We seek to mitigate risks associated with our repurchase agreement by managing the credit quality of our assets, early repayments, interest rate volatility, liquidity, and market value. The margin call provisions under our repurchase facilities permit valuation adjustments based on capital markets activity, and are not limited to collateral-specific credit marks. To monitor credit risk associated with our debt investments, our asset management team regularly reviews our investment portfolio and is in contact with our borrowers in order to monitor the collateral and enforce our rights as necessary. The risk associated with potential margin calls is further mitigated by our ability to recollateralize the facility with additional assets from our portfolio of debt investments and our ability to satisfy margin calls with cash or cash equivalents.
In June 2017, we entered into the 2017 MRA, with a maximum facility capacity of $300.0 million. In April 2018, we increased the maximum facility capacity to $400.0 million. The facility bears interest on a floating rate basis at a spread to 30-day LIBOR based on the pledged collateral and advance rate and has an initial one year term, with two one year extension options. In June 2018, we exercised a one year extension option. At June 30, 2018, the facility had an outstanding balance of $299.2 million, net of deferred financing costs.
In July 2016, we entered into a restated 2016 MRA, with a maximum facility capacity of $300.0 million. In June 2018, we terminated the restated 2016 MRA. The facility bore interest ranging from 225 and 400 basis points over 30-day LIBOR depending on the pledged collateral and had an initial two-year term, with a one year extension option. Since December 6, 2015, we had been required to pay monthly in arrears a 25 basis point fee on the excess of $150.0 million over the average daily balance during the period when the average daily balance was less than $150.0 million.

8. Corporate Indebtedness
2017 Credit Facility
In November 2017, the Company, SL Green and the Operating Partnership entered into an amendment to the credit facility, referred to as the 2017 credit facility, that was originally entered into in November 2012, or the 2012 credit facility. The amendment resulted in the Company no longer being a borrower, and instead is providing a guarantee of the facility. The 2012 credit facility had a carrying value of $1.2 billion, net of deferred financing costs, as of the amendment date and was removed from our consolidated balance sheet and shown as a non-cash capital contribution. SL Green and the Operating Partnership remain borrowers jointly and severally obligated under the 2017 credit facility. As of June 30, 2018, the 2017 credit facility consisted of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, a $1.3 billion term loan (or "Term Loan A"), and a $200.0 million term loan (or "Term Loan B") with maturity dates of March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, and November 21, 2024, respectively. The revolving credit facility has two six-month as-of-right extension options to March 31, 2023. SL Green and the Operating Partnership also have an option, subject to customary conditions, to increase the capacity of the credit facility to $4.5 billion at any time prior to the maturity dates for the revolving credit facility and term loans without the consent of existing lenders, by obtaining additional commitments from the existing lenders and other financial institutions.
As of June 30, 2018, SL Green and the Operating Partnership had $11.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, $360.0 million drawn under the revolving credit facility and $1.5 billion outstanding under the term loan facilities, with total undrawn capacity of $1.1 billion under the 2017 credit facility. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the revolving credit facility had a carrying value of $351.3 million and $30.3 million, respectively, net of deferred financing costs. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the term loan facilities had a carrying value of $1.5 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, net of deferred financing costs.
The 2017 credit facility includes certain restrictions and covenants (see Restrictive Covenants below).

The terms of the 2017 credit facility and certain of our senior unsecured notes include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, SL Green's ability to pay dividends, make certain types of investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens and enter into negative pledge agreements and dispose of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that SL Green will not during any time when a default is continuing, make distributions with respect to SL Green's common stock or other equity interests, except to enable SL Green to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes.

Cleaning/ Security/ Messenger and Restoration Services
Alliance Building Services, or Alliance, and its affiliates are partially owned by Gary Green, a son of Stephen L. Green, the chairman of SL Green's board of directors, and provide services to certain properties owned by us. Alliance’s affiliates include First Quality Maintenance, L.P., or First Quality, Classic Security LLC, Bright Star Couriers LLC and Onyx Restoration Works, and provide cleaning, extermination, security, messenger, and restoration services, respectively. In addition, First Quality has the non-exclusive opportunity to provide cleaning and related services to individual tenants at our properties on a basis separately negotiated with any tenant seeking such additional services. The Service Corporation has entered into an arrangement with Alliance whereby it will receive a profit participation above a certain threshold for services provided by Alliance to certain tenants at certain buildings above the base services specified in their lease agreements.
Income earned from the profit participation, which is included in other income on the consolidated statements of operations, was $0.9 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and was $0.9 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
We also recorded expenses, inclusive of capitalized expenses, of $2.4 million and $4.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, for these services (excluding services provided directly to tenants), and $2.4 million and $4.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

Allocated Expenses from SL Green
Property operating expenses include an allocation of salary and other operating costs from SL Green based on square footage of the related properties. Such amount was approximately $2.8 million and $5.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The amount was $3.0 million and $6.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
Insurance
We obtained insurance coverage through an insurance program administered by SL Green. In connection with this program, we incurred insurance expense of approximately $1.1 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. We incurred insurance expense of approximately $1.4 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
Related Party Payable to SL Green
On August 22, 2016, we issued a promissory note to our parent company in the amount of $23.8 million which bears interest at an annual rate of 6.0%, compounded quarterly, and matures on August 22, 2018.
10. Preferred Units
Through a consolidated subsidiary, we have authorized up to 109,161 3.50% Series A Preferred Units of limited partnership interest, or the Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units, with a liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per unit. In August 2015, the Company issued 109,161 Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units in conjunction with an acquisition. The Subsidiary Series A Preferred unitholders receive annual dividends of $35.00 per unit paid on a quarterly basis and dividends are cumulative, subject to certain provisions. The Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units can be redeemed at any time, at the option of the unitholder, either for cash or are convertible on a one-for-one basis, into the Series B Preferred Units of limited partnership interest, or the Subsidiary Series B Preferred Units. The Subsidiary Series B Preferred Units can be converted at any time, at the option of the unitholder, into a number of common stock equal to 6.71348 shares of SL Green common stock for each Subsidiary Series B Preferred Unit. As of June 30, 2018, no Subsidiary Series B Preferred Units have been issued.
ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging requires bifurcation of certain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion features in convertible equity instruments, and their measurement at fair value for accounting purposes. The conversion feature embedded in the Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units was evaluated, and it was determined that the conversion feature should be bifurcated from its host instrument and accounted for as a freestanding derivative. The derivative is reported as a derivative liability in accrued interest and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and is adjusted to its fair value at each reporting date, with a corresponding adjustment to interest expense, net of interest income. The embedded derivative for the Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units was initially recorded at a fair value of zero on July 22, 2015, the date of issuance. At June 30, 2018, the carrying amount of the derivative remained at zero.
11. Partners' Capital
Since consummation of the Merger on January 25, 2007, the Operating Partnership has owned all the economic interests in us either by direct ownership or by indirect ownership through our general partner, which is its wholly-owned subsidiary.
Intercompany transactions between SL Green and us are generally recorded as contributions and distributions.
12. Fair Value Measurements
We are required to disclose fair value information with regard to our financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practical to estimate fair value. The FASB guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We measure and/or disclose the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on a hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are used when little or no market data is available. We follow this hierarchy for our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. In instances in which the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of the particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

We determine other than temporary impairment in real estate investments and debt and preferred equity investments, including intangibles primarily utilizing cash flow projections that apply, among other things, estimated revenue and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates, as well as sales comparison approach, which utilizes comparable sales, listings and sales contracts. All of which are classified as Level 3 inputs.
In January 2018, the partnership agreement for our investment in 919 Third Avenue was modified resulting in the Company no longer having a controlling interest in this investment. As a result the investment was deconsolidated as of January 1, 2018. The Company recorded its non-controlling interest at fair value resulting in a $54.9 million fair value adjustment in the consolidated statement of operations. This fair value was determined using a third party valuation which primarily utilized cash flow projections that apply, among other things, estimated revenue and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates, as well as sales comparison approach, which utilizes comparable sales, listings and sales contracts. All of which are classified as Level 3 inputs.
The fair value of derivative instruments is based on current market data received from financial sources that trade such instruments and are based on prevailing market data and derived from third party proprietary models based on well-recognized financial principles and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions, which are classified as Level 2 inputs.
The financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, debt and preferred equity investments, mortgages and other loans payable and other secured and unsecured debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses reported in our consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments. The fair value of debt and preferred equity investments, which is classified as Level 3, is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans with the same maturities would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The fair value of borrowings, which is classified as Level 3, is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows of each debt instrument to their present value using adjusted market interest rates, which is provided by a third-party specialist.
The following table provides the carrying value and fair value of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2018 | | December 31, 2017 |

(2) | At June 30, 2018, debt and preferred equity investments had an estimated fair value ranging between $2.2 billion and $2.4 billion. At December 31, 2017, debt and preferred equity investments had an estimated fair value ranging between $2.1 billion and $2.3 billion. |
Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments was based on pertinent information available to us as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Although we are not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the reasonable fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
13. Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging
In the normal course of business, we use a variety of commonly used derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, caps, collar and floors, to manage, or hedge interest rate risk. We hedge our exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions in addition to anticipated future interest payments on existing debt. We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedge asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. Reported net income and equity may increase or decrease prospectively, depending on future levels of interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows. Currently, all

of our designated derivative instruments are effective hedging instruments. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had not designated any interest rate swap agreements on any debt investment.
Gains and losses on terminated hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, and are recognized into earnings over the term of the related senior unsecured notes. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the deferred net losses from these terminated hedges, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income relating to net unrealized loss on derivative instruments, was approximately zero and $1.3 million, respectively.

15. Segment Information
The Company has two reportable segments, real estate and debt and preferred equity investments. We evaluate real estate performance and allocate resources based on earnings contribution to income from continuing operations.
The primary sources of revenue are generated from tenant rents and escalations and reimbursement revenue. Real estate property operating expenses consist primarily of security, maintenance, utility costs, insurance, real estate taxes and ground rent expense (at certain applicable properties). See Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments," for additional details on our debt and preferred equity investments.

Income before equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures, equity in net (loss) gain on sale of interest in unconsolidated joint venture/real estate, (loss) gain on sale of real estate, purchase price and other fair value adjustments, and depreciable real estate reserves represents total revenues less total expenses for the real estate segment and total investment income less allocated interest expense for the debt and preferred equity segment. Interest costs for the debt and preferred equity segment includes actual costs incurred for investments collateralizing the MRAs. Interest is imputed on the remaining investments using our corporate borrowing cost. We also allocate loan loss reserves, net of recoveries, and transaction related costs to the debt and preferred equity segment. We do not allocate marketing, general and administrative expenses to the debt and preferred equity segment since the use of personnel and resources is dependent on transaction volume between the two segments and varies period over period. In addition, we base performance on the individual segments excluding marketing, general and administrative expenses. All other expenses, except interest, relate entirely to the real estate assets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
There were no transactions between the above two segments.

Rental, Escalation and Reimbursement Revenues
Rental revenue decreased primarily as a result of the effect of the deconsolidation of 919 Third Avenue ($23.7 million) and Disposed Properties ($7.2 million) partially offset by increased rental revenue at our Same-Store properties ($1.5 million).
Escalation and reimbursement revenue decreased primarily as a result of the effect of the deconsolidation of 919 Third Avenue ($5.0 million), partially offset by increased recoveries at our Same-Store properties ($2.1 million).
Investment Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, investment income decreased primarily as a result of previously unrecognized income related to our preferred equity investment in 885 Third Avenue ($9.4 million) in the second quarter of 2017, partially offset by a larger weighted average book balance and an increase in the LIBOR benchmark rate. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the weighted average debt and preferred equity investment balance outstanding and weighted average yield were $2.2 billion and 8.8%, respectively, compared to $2.1 billion and 9.4%, respectively, for the same period in 2017. As of June 30, 2018, the debt and preferred equity investments had a weighted average term to maturity of 1.9 years excluding extension options.
Other Income
Other income increased primarily as a result of real estate tax refunds at our Same-Store Properties ($6.2 million).
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses decreased primarily due to the deconsolidation of 919 Third Avenue ($11.7 million).
Interest Expense and Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs, Net of Interest Income
Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs, net of interest income, decreased primarily as a result of the deconsolidation of 919 Third Avenue ($6.6 million) in the first quarter of 2018, and the amendment of the 2012 credit facility ($8.8 million). The weighted average consolidated debt balance outstanding was $1.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $3.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The consolidated weighted average interest rate was 5.09% for three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 3.86% for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased primarily as a result of the deconsolidation of 919 Third Avenue ($8.0 million).
Equity in Net Income from Unconsolidated Joint Venture
Equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased primarily as a result of the repayment and redemption of certain debt and preferred equity positions accounted for under the equity method ($2.1 million) in the first quarter of 2018. 919 Third Avenue, which was deconsolidated in the first quarter of 2018, contributed $0.4 million to equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures.
(Loss) Gain on Sale of Real Estate
During the three months ended June 30, 2018 we recognized a loss on the sale of 635 Madison Avenue ($14.1 million), and a loss on the sale of 115-117 Stevens Avenue ($0.7 million). During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a gain on the sale of 102 Greene Street ($4.9 million).
Depreciable Real Estate Reserves
During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized depreciable real estate reserves related to 125 Chubb Way ($26.6 million), Stamford Towers ($2.1 million), and 520 White Plains Road ($0.4 million).

Rental, Escalation and Reimbursement Revenues
Rental revenue decreased primarily as a result of the deconsolidation of 919 Third Avenue ($47.6 million) and the sale of 16 Court Street ($6.6 million).
Escalation and reimbursement revenue decreased primarily as a result of the deconsolidation of 919 Third Avenue ($10.1 million), partially offset by higher recoveries at our Same-Store Properties ($4.0 million).
Investment Income
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, investment income decreased primarily as a result of previously unrecognized income in the second quarter of 2017 net with 2018 income related to our preferred equity investment in 885 Third Avenue ($6.9 million), partially offset by new originations and a larger weighted average book balance and an increase in the LIBOR benchmark rate. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the weighted average debt and preferred equity investment balance outstanding and weighted average yield were $2.1 billion and 9.1%, respectively, compared to $1.9 billion and 9.4%, respectively, for the same period in 2017. As of June 30, 2018, the debt and preferred equity investments had a weighted average term to maturity of 1.9 years excluding extension options.
Other Income
Other income increased primarily as a result of real estate tax refunds at our Same-Store Properties ($6.2 million) and lease termination income earned at 1185 Avenue of the Americas ($2.9 million).
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses decreased primarily due to the deconsolidation of 919 Third Avenue ($24.1 million) and the sale of 16 Court Street ($2.7 million), which was partially offset by increased real estate taxes at our Same-Store Properties ($3.2 million).
Interest Expense and Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs, Net of Interest Income
Interest expense and amortization of financing costs, net of interest income, decreased primarily as a result of the deconsolidation of 919 Third Avenue ($13.3 million) in the first quarter of 2018 and the amendment of the 2012 credit facility ($16.2 million). The weighted average consolidated debt balance outstanding was $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $3.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The weighted average consolidated interest rate was 5.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to 3.88% for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased primarily as a result of the deconsolidation of 919 Third Avenue ($15.4 million) and Disposed Properties ($5.3 million), which included the sale of 16 Court Street ($2.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2017, and the sale of 680/750 Washington Boulevard ($1.6 million) in the third quarter of 2017.
Equity in Net Income from Unconsolidated Joint Venture
Equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased primarily as a result of the repayment and/or redemption of certain debt and preferred equity positions accounted for under the equity method ($4.2 million).
Purchase price and other fair value adjustments
In January 2018, the partnership agreement for our investment in 919 Third Avenue was modified resulting in the Company no longer having a controlling interest in the investment. As a result, the investment in this property was deconsolidated as of January 1, 2018. The Company recorded its non-controlling interest at fair value resulting in a $54.9 million fair value adjustment in the consolidated statement of operations. This fair value was allocated to the assets and liabilities, including identified intangibles of the property.
Depreciable Real Estate Reserves
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a $85.3 million charge in connection with 520 White Plains Road in Tarrytown, NY, 125 Chubb Way, and 680/750 Washington Boulevard in Stamford, Connecticut.
Gain (loss) on Sale of Real Estate
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized a loss on the sale of 635 Madison Avenue ($14.1 million), and a loss on the sale of 115-117 Stevens Avenue ($0.7 million). During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a gain on the sale of 102 Greene Street ($4.9 million).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On January 25, 2007, we were acquired by SL Green. See Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources" in SL Green and the Operating Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for a complete discussion of additional sources of liquidity available to us due to our indirect ownership by SL Green.
We currently expect that our principal sources of funds to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements for working capital, acquisitions, development or redevelopment of properties, tenant improvements, leasing costs, repurchases or
repayments of outstanding indebtedness (which may include exchangeable debt) and for debt and preferred equity investments may include:
| |
(1) | Cash flow from operations; |
| |
(3) | Net proceeds from divestitures of properties and redemptions, participations and dispositions of debt and preferred equity investments; |
| |
(4) | Other forms of secured or unsecured financing; and |
| |
(5) | Proceeds from debt offerings by us. |
Cash flow from operations is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent, operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating and other costs. Additionally, we believe that our debt and preferred equity investment program will continue to serve as a source of operating cash flow.
We believe that our sources of working capital, specifically our cash flow from operations and SL Green's liquidity are adequate for us to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on our consolidated statements of cash flows in "Item 1. Financial Statements" and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were $72.7 million and $131.9 million at June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, representing a decrease of $59.2 million. The decrease was due to the following changes in cash flows (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2018 | | 2017 | | Increase (Decrease) |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 222,181 |
| | $ | 207,878 |
| | $ | 14,303 |
|
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities | $ | (128,828 | ) | | $ | (137,975 | ) | | $ | 9,147 |
|
Net cash (used in) financing activities | $ | (97,756 | ) | | $ | (41,396 | ) | | $ | (56,360 | ) |
Our principal source of operating cash flow is related to the leasing and operating of the properties in our portfolio. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, debt service and make distributions to SL Green. At June 30, 2018, our operating portfolio was 92.9% occupied. Our debt and preferred equity investments also provide a steady stream of operating cash flow to us.
Cash is used in investing activities to fund acquisitions, development or redevelopment projects and recurring and nonrecurring capital expenditures. We selectively invest in new projects that enable us to take advantage of our development, leasing, financing and property management skills and invest in existing buildings that meet our investment criteria. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, the change in investing cash flows was due to the following activities (in thousands):
|
| | | |
Acquisitions of real estate properties | $ | 226 |

Additions to land, buildings and improvements | (5,013 | ) |
Capital improvements/acquisition deposits/deferred purchase price | 1,500 |

|
Repayments or redemption of debt and preferred equity investments | (322,327 | ) |
Decrease in net cash provided by investing activities | $ | 9,147 |
|
Funds spent on capital expenditures, which comprise building and tenant improvements, increased from $51.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $56.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, relating primarily to increased costs incurred in connection with the redevelopment of properties.
We generally fund our investment activity through the sale of real estate, property-level financing, our 2012 credit facility, our MRA facilities, and senior unsecured notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, we used cash for the following financing activities (in thousands):
|
| | | |
Proceeds from mortgages and other loans payable | $ | (40,809 | ) |
Proceeds from revolving credit facility and senior unsecured notes | (1,072,800 | ) |

Indebtedness
2017 Credit Facility
In November 2017, the Company, SL Green and the Operating Partnership entered into an amendment to the credit facility, referred to as the 2017 credit facility, that was originally entered into in November 2012, or the 2012 credit facility. The amendment resulted in the Company no longer being a borrower, and instead is providing a guarantee of the facility. The 2012 credit facility had a carrying value of $1.2 billion, net of deferred financing costs, as of the amendment date and was removed from our consolidated balance sheet and shown as a non-cash capital contribution. SL Green and the Operating Partnership remain borrowers jointly and severally obligated under the 2017 credit facility. As of June 30, 2018, the 2017 credit facility consisted of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, a $1.3 billion term loan (or "Term Loan A"), and a $200.0 million term loan (or "Term Loan B") with maturity dates of March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, and November 21, 2024, respectively. The revolving credit facility has two six-month as-of-right extension options to March 31, 2023. SL Green and the Operating Partnership also have an option, subject to customary conditions, to increase the capacity of the credit facility to $4.5 billion at any time prior to the maturity dates for the revolving credit facility and term loans without the consent of existing lenders, by obtaining additional commitments from the existing lenders and other financial institutions.
As of June 30, 2018, SL Green and the Operating Partnership had $11.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, $360.0 million drawn under the revolving credit facility and $1.5 billion outstanding under the term loan facilities, with total undrawn capacity of $1.1 billion under the 2017 credit facility. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the revolving credit facility had a carrying value of $351.3 million and $30.3 million, respectively, net of deferred financing costs. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the term loan facilities had a carrying value of $1.5 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, net of deferred financing costs.
The 2017 credit facility includes certain restrictions and covenants (see Restrictive Covenants below).
Restrictive Covenants
The terms of the 2017 credit facility and certain of our senior unsecured notes include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, SL Green's ability to pay dividends, make certain types of investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens and enter into negative pledge agreements and dispose of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that SL Green will not during any time when a default is continuing, make distributions with respect to SL Green's common stock or other equity interests, except to enable SL Green to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from our variable rate debt. Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations are managed through either the use of interest rate derivative instruments and/or through our variable rate debt and preferred equity
investments. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates along the entire interest rate curve for 2018 would decrease our annual interest cost, net of interest income from variable rate debt and preferred equity investments, by approximately $13.0 million. At June 30, 2018, 73.7% of our $2.2 billion debt and preferred equity portfolio is indexed to LIBOR.
We recognize most derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through income. If a derivative is considered a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.
Our long-term debt of $1.2 billion bears interest at fixed rates, and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in the market interest rates. Our variable rate debt as of June 30, 2018 bore interest based on a spread of LIBOR plus 234 basis points.
Contractual Obligations
Refer to our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our contractual obligations. There have been no material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, to these contractual obligations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have off-balance sheet investments, including debt and preferred equity investments. These investments all have varying ownership structures. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed in Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments," in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Capital Expenditures
We estimate that for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2018, we expect to incur $67.6 million of recurring capital expenditures and $28.1 million of development or redevelopment expenditures, net of loan reserves, (including tenant improvements and leasing commissions) on existing consolidated properties. Future property acquisitions may require substantial capital investments for refurbishment and leasing costs. We expect to fund these capital expenditures with operating cash flow, existing liquidity, or incremental borrowings. We expect our capital needs over the next twelve months and thereafter will be met through a combination of cash on hand, net cash provided by operations, potential asset sales, borrowings, or additional debt issuances.
Insurance
We are insured through a program administered by SL Green. SL Green maintains “all-risk” property and rental value coverage (including coverage regarding the perils of flood, earthquake and terrorism, excluding nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological terrorism ("NBCR")), within three property insurance programs and liability insurance. Separate property and liability coverage may be purchased on a stand-alone basis for certain assets. Additionally, SL Green's captive insurance company, Belmont Insurance Company, or Belmont, provides coverage for NBCR terrorist acts above a specified trigger, although if Belmont is required to pay a claim under SL Green's insurance policies, SL Green would ultimately record the loss to the extent of Belmont's required payment. As of June 30, 2018, SL Green's second captive insurance company, Ticonderoga Insurance Company, or Ticonderoga, reinsures the NBCR risk that was retained by Belmont. However, there is no assurance that in the future we will be able to procure coverage at a reasonable cost. Further, if we experience losses that are uninsured or that exceed policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. Additionally, our debt instruments contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance and we could default under debt our instruments if the cost and/or availability of certain types of insurance make it impractical or impossible to comply with such covenants relating to insurance. Belmont provides coverage solely on properties owned by SL Green or its affiliates.
Furthermore, with respect to certain of our properties, including properties held by joint ventures, or subject to triple net leases, insurance coverage is obtained by a third-party and we do not control the coverage. While we may have agreements with such third parties to maintain adequate coverage and we monitor these policies, such coverage ultimately may not be maintained or adequately cover our risk of loss.
We obtained insurance coverage through an insurance program administered by SL Green. In connection with this program, we incurred insurance expense of approximately $1.1 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. We incurred insurance expense of approximately $1.4 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
Inflation
Substantially all of our office leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations as well as operating expense recoveries based on increases in the Consumer Price Index or other measures such as porters' wage. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases will be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this report that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such matters as future capital expenditures, dividends and acquisitions (including the amount and nature thereof), development trends of the real estate industry and the New York metropolitan area markets, business strategies, expansion and growth of our operations and other similar matters, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate.

Forward-looking statements contained in this report are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements made by us. These risks and uncertainties include:

| |
• | bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant or a significant number of smaller tenants or borrowers; |
| |
• | adverse changes in the real estate markets, including reduced demand for office space, increasing vacancy, and increasing availability of sublease space; |

| |
• | unanticipated increases in financing and other costs, including a rise in interest rates; |
| |
• | our ability to comply with financial covenants in our debt instruments; |

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
For quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk, see Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation-Interest Rate Risk" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2017.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the President and Treasurer of our general partner, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the President and Treasurer of our general partner concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurances to the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of information relating to the Company that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
