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 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 $1.3 million and $5.5 million of rental revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $4.3 million and $12.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 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.
The following summarizes our identified intangible assets (acquired above-market leases and in-place leases) and intangible liabilities (acquired below-market leases) as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively and $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of net intangible assets and net intangible liabilities, were reclassified to assets held for sale and liabilities related to assets held for sale.
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 September 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 nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2018. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, 14.7%, 11.0%, 8.7%, 8.4%, 8.2%, 7.6%, 7.4%, 7.1% and 5.8% 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 August 2018, The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a final rule that eliminated or amended disclosure requirements that were redundant or outdated in light of changes in its requirements, generally accepted accounting principles, or changes in the business environment. The commission also referred certain disclosure requirements to the Financial Accounting Standards Board for potential incorporation into generally accepted accounting principles. The Company assessed the impact of this rule and determined that the changes resulted in clarification or expansion of existing requirements. The Company adopted the rule on November 5, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other- Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40), Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. The amendments provide guidance on accounting for fees paid when the arrangement includes a software license and align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing costs to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. 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 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This amendment removed, modified and added the disclosure requirements under Topic 820. The changes are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for the removed or modified disclosures with adoption of the additional disclosures upon the effective date. 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 February 2018, the FASB issued 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 Company adopted the guidance on July 1, 2018, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, and in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The amendments in the new standards will permit more flexibility in hedging interest rate risk for both variable rate and fixed rate financial instruments. The standards 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 standards are 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. While the Company is continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we expect total liabilities and total assets to increase by $0.1 to $0.2 billion as of the date of adoption. 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, and anticipates electing the package of practical expedients that allows an entity to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2018, we did not acquire any properties from a third party.

At September 30, 2018, all debt and preferred equity investments were performing in accordance with the terms of the relevant investments, with the exception of one mezzanine loan which was in maturity default. The mezzanine note receivable was conveyed in the form of a distribution to SL Green in October 2018.
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 5 of the Debt Investments table above, and our investment in 2 Herald Square, which was purchased in maturity default and was subsequently conveyed to SL Green in the form of a distribution 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 September 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 $111.5 million and $93.4 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. No financing receivables were 90 days past due at September 30, 2018.

6. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We have investments in several real estate joint ventures with various partners. As of September 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 September 30, 2018:

Ownership interest and economic interest represent the Company's interests in the joint venture as of September 30, 2018. Changes in ownership or economic interests within the current year are disclosed in the notes below.
(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 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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying value for acquisition, development and construction arrangements were as follows (in thousands):

Our investment in the property was deconsolidated as of January 1, 2018. See Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures".
At September 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 September 30, 2018, the facility had an outstanding balance of $299.4 million, net of deferred financing costs.
In July 2016, we entered into the 2016 MRA, with a maximum facility capacity of $300.0 million. In June 2018, we terminated the 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 September 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 September 30, 2018, SL Green and the Operating Partnership had $11.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, $145.0 million drawn under the revolving credit facility and $1.5 billion outstanding under the term loan facilities, with total undrawn capacity of $1.3 billion under the 2017 credit facility. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the revolving credit facility had a carrying value of $136.7 million and $30.3 million, respectively, net of deferred financing costs. At September 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.
