1. Organization

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (which is referred to in these financial statements as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Maryland corporation formed on November 9, 2009 that did not have any meaningful operating activity until the consummation of our initial public offering and the related acquisition of our predecessor and certain other entities on June 29, 2010 (“IPO”). Concurrently with the closing of our IPO, we combined with our predecessor and Howard Street Associates, LLC and acquired certain other entities.

We determined that one of the entities comprising our predecessor, SGS Realty II, LLC, was the acquirer for accounting purposes in our formation transactions that occurred in connection with our IPO. In addition, we concluded that any interests contributed by the controlling member of the other entities comprising our predecessor and Howard Street Associates, LLC in connection with our IPO was a transaction between entities under common control. As a result, the contribution of interests in each of these entities was recorded at historical cost.

Since the completion of the IPO, the concurrent private placement, and the related formation transactions, we have been a fully integrated, self-administered, and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Through our controlling interest in Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. (our “Operating Partnership”) and its subsidiaries, we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop real estate, consisting primarily of office and media and entertainment properties. As of September 30, 2013, we owned a portfolio of 24 office properties and two media and entertainment properties. These properties are located in California and Washington. The results of operations for properties acquired after our IPO are included in our consolidated statements of operations from the date of each such acquisition.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The effect of all significant intercompany balances and transactions has been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading. The accompanying unaudited financial statements include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the notes thereto. Any reference to the number of properties and square footage are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing and assessing the carrying values of its real estate properties, its accrued liabilities, and its performance-based equity compensation awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Investment in Real Estate Properties

The properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company assigns the cost of an acquisition, including the assumption of liabilities, to the acquired tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values in accordance with GAAP. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it was vacant.

Acquisition-related expenses associated with acquisition of operating properties are expensed in the period incurred.

The Company records acquired “above and below” market leases at fair value using discount rates that reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired. The amount recorded is based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the extended term for any leases with below-market renewal options. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes estimates of lost rents at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, which are dependent on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, the Company considers leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.

The Company capitalizes direct construction and development costs, including predevelopment costs, interest, property taxes, insurance and other costs directly related and essential to the acquisition, development or construction of a real estate project. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits, office rent, and associated costs for those individuals directly responsible for and who spend their time on development activities are also capitalized and allocated to the projects to which they relate. Capitalized personnel costs were were approximately $0.5 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively and approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Interest is capitalized on the construction in progress at a rate equal to the Company’s weighted average cost of debt. Construction and development costs are capitalized while substantial activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. The Company considers a construction project as substantially complete and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements but no later than one year after cessation of major construction activity. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, or after development activities have ceased, are expensed as they are incurred. Costs previously capitalized related to abandoned acquisitions or developments are charged to earnings. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as they are incurred.

The Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 39 years for building and improvements, 15 years for land improvements, 5 or 7 years for furniture and fixtures and equipment, and over the shorter of asset life or life of the lease for tenant improvements. Above- and below-market lease intangibles are amortized to revenue over the remaining non-cancellable lease terms and bargain renewal periods, if applicable. Other in-place lease intangibles are amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancellable lease term. Depreciation is discontinued when a property is identified as held for sale.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses the carrying value of real estate assets and related intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable in accordance with GAAP. Impairment losses are recorded on real estate assets held for investment when indicators of impairment are present and the future undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. The Company recognizes impairment losses to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the properties. Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less cost to sell. The Company recorded $5.6 million of impairment charges related to a property held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 with no comparable charge for the nine months ended 2012. There were no properties held for sale at September 30, 2013 and one property was held for sale at December 31, 2012.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations. Our goodwill balance as of September 30, 2013 was $8,754. We do not amortize this asset but instead analyze it on an annual basis for impairment. No impairment indicators have been noted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and in banks, plus all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.

The Company maintains some of its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed the federally insured limit. No losses have been experienced related to such accounts.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of amounts held by lenders to provide for future real estate taxes and insurance expenditures, repairs and capital improvements reserves, general and other reserves and security deposits.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due for monthly rents and other charges. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from tenant defaults or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments. The Company monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants and operators on an ongoing basis. This evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, property performance, credit enhancements and other factors. For straight-line rent amounts, the Company’s assessment is based on amounts estimated to be recoverable over the term of the lease. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, the Company has reserved $5 and $8 of straight-line receivables. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on specific identification of uncollectible accounts and the Company’s historical collection experience. The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and the Company’s historical experience. Historical experience has been within management’s expectations. The Company recognized $176 and $489 of bad debt expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

The following summarizes our accounts receivable net of allowance for doubtful accounts as of:

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable consisted of a loan we acquired on August 14, 2012 from Jeffries LoanCore LLC in the amount of $4.0 million. The borrower under the loan was WIP 3401 Expo BLVD Mezz, LLC (“WEBM”), which was the sole member of WIP 3401 Expo BLVD, LLC (“WEB”), the owner of that certain property located at 3401 Exposition Blvd. in Santa Monica, California (“3401 Exposition Boulevard”). The property is an approximately 63,376 square-foot office and industrial building currently being renovated for creative office uses. The loan was secured by, among other things, WEBM’s membership interest in WEB, bore interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 1300 basis points (subject to a 100 basis points floor on LIBOR), and was scheduled to mature on June 9, 2014, subject to three one-year extension options. The interest recognized on this loan is included in interest income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The carrying value of the loan approximated its fair value as it was negotiated based upon fair value of loans with similar characteristics. The loan generated income of $155 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

In connection with the Company’s purchase of 3401 Exposition Boulevard on May 22, 2013, the Company canceled the note associated with this loan and eliminated the note receivable.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes rental revenue from tenants on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:

•
whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;

•
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;

•
whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general-purpose in nature; and

•
whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.

Certain leases provide for additional rents contingent upon a percentage of the tenant’s revenue in excess of specified base amounts or other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized when actual results reported by the tenant, or estimates of tenant results, exceed the base amount or other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized only after the contingency has been removed (when the related thresholds are achieved), which may result in the recognition of rental revenue in periods subsequent to when such payments are received.

Other property-related revenue is revenue that is derived from the tenants’ use of lighting, equipment rental, parking, power, HVAC and telecommunications (phone and Internet). Other property-related revenue is recognized when these items are provided.

Tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period during which the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recognized and presented gross, as the Company is generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier and bears the associated credit risk.

The Company recognizes gains on sales of properties upon the closing of the transaction with the purchaser. Gains on properties sold are recognized using the full accrual method when (i) the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured, (ii) the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale, (iii) the initial investment from the buyer is sufficient and (iv) other profit recognition criteria have been satisfied. Gains on sales of properties may be deferred in whole or in part until the requirements for gain recognition have been met.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the respective loan.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company manages interest rate risk associated with borrowings by entering into interest rate derivative contracts. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value and the changes in fair value are reflected as income or expense. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income, which is a component of equity. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

The Company held two interest rate contracts as of December 31, 2012 and three interest rate contracts as of September 30, 2013, all of which have been accounted for as cash flow hedges as more fully described in note 6 below.

Stock-Based Compensation

Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC, Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (referred to as ASC Topic 718 and formerly known as FASB 123R), requires us to recognize an expense for the fair value of equity-based compensation awards. Grants of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units under our equity incentive award plans are accounted for under ASC Topic 718. Our compensation committee will regularly consider the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions, especially in connection with decisions that relate to our equity incentive award plans and programs.

Income Taxes

Our taxable income prior to the completion of our IPO is reportable by the members of the limited liability companies that comprise our predecessor. Our property-owning subsidiaries are limited liability companies and are treated as pass-through entities for income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the activities of these entities.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) commencing with our initial taxable year. To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to such matters as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of our taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax.

We have elected, together with one of our subsidiaries, to treat such subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes. Certain activities that we undertake must be conducted by a TRS, such as non-customary services for our tenants, and holding assets that we cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes.

The Company is subject to the statutory requirements of the states in which it conducts business.

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

•
Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

•
Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

•
Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.


14
Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited and in thousands, except square footage and share data)


When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from an independent third-party source to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require the Company to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When the Company determines the market for a financial instrument owned by the Company to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, the Company uses several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establishes a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources.

Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of an inactive market: (i) there are few recent transactions, (ii) price quotations are not based on current information, (iii) price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets), (iv) indexes that previously were highly correlated with the fair values of the asset or liability are demonstrably uncorrelated with recent indications of fair value for that asset or liability, (v) there is a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indicators (such as delinquency rates or loss severities) for observed transactions or quoted prices when compared with the Company’s estimate of expected cash flows, considering all available market data about credit and other nonperformance risk for the asset or liability, (vi) there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread, (vii) there is a significant decline or absence of a market for new issuances (that is, a primary market) for the asset or liability or similar assets or liabilities, and (viii) little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to-principal market).

The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of non-orderly transactions: (i) there was not adequate exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities under current market conditions, (ii) there was a usual and customary marketing period, but the seller marketed the asset or liability to a single market participant, (iii) the seller is in or near bankruptcy or receivership (that is, distressed), or the seller was required to sell to meet regulatory or legal requirements (that is, forced), and (iv) the transaction price is an outlier when compared with other recent transactions for the same or similar assets or liabilities.    

The Company’s interest rate contract agreements are classified as Level 2 and their fair value is derived from estimated values obtained from observable market data for similar instruments.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

5. Notes Payable

Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On August 3, 2012, we replaced our $200.0 million secured revolving credit facility with a $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of lenders for which Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. acts as administrative agent and its affiliate acts as joint lead arranger, Bank of America, N.A. acts as joint lead arranger and, together with Barclays Capital, acts as joint syndication agent, and Keybank, N.A., acts as documentation agent. Our Operating Partnership is the borrower under our new unsecured revolving credit facility. The facility is required to be guaranteed by us and all of our subsidiaries that own unencumbered properties. The facility includes an accordion feature that allows us to increase the availability by $150.0 million, to $400.0 million, under specified circumstances and subject to receiving commitments from lenders.
Our facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 155 basis points to 220 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. If the Company obtains a credit rating for its senior unsecured long-term indebtedness, it may make an irrevocable election to change the interest rate for the facility to a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 100 basis points to 185 basis points, depending on the credit rating. Our facility is subject to a facility fee in an amount equal to our unused commitments multiplied by a rate per

annum equal to 25 basis points to 35 basis points, depending on our usage of the facility, or, if we make the credit rating election, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of our commitments multiplied by a rate per annum equal to 15 basis points to 45 basis points, depending upon the credit rating. The amount available for us to borrow under the facility is subject to compliance with certain covenants, including the following financial covenants:
•
a maximum leverage ratio (defined as consolidated total indebtedness plus our pro rata share of indebtedness of unconsolidated affiliates to total asset value) of 0.60:1.00;
•
a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (defined as consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) plus our pro rata share of EBITDA of unconsolidated affiliates to fixed charges) of 1.50:1.00;
•
a maximum secured indebtedness leverage ratio (defined as consolidated secured indebtedness plus our pro rata share of secured indebtedness of unconsolidated affiliates to total asset value) of 0.60:1:00 through and including August 3, 2014 and 0.55:1:00 thereafter;
•
a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio (defined as consolidated unsecured indebtedness plus our pro rata share of unsecured indebtedness of unconsolidated affiliates to total unencumbered asset value) of 0.60:1:00;
•
a minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio (defined as consolidated net operating income from unencumbered properties plus our pro rata share of net operating income from unencumbered properties to unsecured interest expense) of 1.60:1.00; and
•
a maximum recourse debt ratio (defined as recourse indebtedness other than indebtedness under the revolving credit facility but including unsecured lines of credit to total asset value) of 0.15:1.00.

In addition to these covenants, the facility also includes certain limitations on dividend payouts and distributions, limits on certain types of investments outside of our primary business, and other customary affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the facility is subject to continued compliance with these covenants.
As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with our facility’s financial covenants. As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately $237.3 million of total capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facility, of which $80.0 million had been drawn.

6. Interest Rate Contracts

On February 11, 2011, we closed a five-year term loan totaling $92.0 million with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., secured by our Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson media and entertainment campuses. The loan bears interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 3.50%. On March 16, 2011, we purchased an interest rate cap in order to cap one-month LIBOR at 3.715% on $50.0 million of the loan through its maturity on February 11, 2016. On January 11, 2012, we purchased an interest rate cap in order to cap one-month LIBOR at 2.00% with respect to $42.0 million of the loan through its maturity on February 11, 2016. We designated each of these interest rate cap contracts as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes.
    
Effective August 22, 2013, the terms of this loan were amended to, among other changes, increase the outstanding balance from $92.0 million to $97.0 million and extend the maturity date from February 11, 2016 to February 11, 2018. The interest rate contracts described above were not changed in connection with this loan amendment.

On July 31, 2013, we closed a seven-year loan totaling $64.5 million with Union Bank, N.A., secured by our Met Park North property. The loan bears interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.55%. The full loan is subject to an interest rate contract that swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 2.1644% through the loan’s maturity on August 1, 2020.

The combined fair market value of the interest rate caps at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $87 and $71, respectively. The fair market value of the interest rate swap at September 30, 2013 was $(863).

Non-controlling Interests

Common units in the Operating Partnership

Common units in the operating partnership consisted of 2,382,563 common units of partnership interests, or common units, not owned by us. Common units and shares of our common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of our operating partnership. Investors who own common units have the right to cause our operating partnership to redeem any or all of their common units for cash equal to the then-current market value of one share of common stock or, at our election, issue shares of our common stock in exchange for common units on a one-for-one basis. In February 2012, one of our common unit holders required us to redeem 155,878 common units, and in December 2012, one of our common unit holders required us to redeem 72,500 common units. In both cases, we elected, in accordance with our limited partnership agreement, to issue shares of our common stock in exchange for the common units to satisfy the redemption notice. Accordingly, our outstanding common units decreased from 2,610,941 common units outstanding to the current 2,382,563 common units outstanding, with a corresponding increase to our outstanding common stock as of the date of such exchanges, as reflected in the table below under the caption “—Exchange of Common Units for Common Stock.”

Non-controlling interest—members in consolidated entities

Non-controlling interest—members in consolidated entities refers to our joint venture partner, Media Center Partners, LLC, a California limited liability company (“MCP”), with which we have entered into a joint venture, Hudson MC Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Pinnacle JV”), to acquire The Pinnacle, a two-building (Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II), 625,640 square-foot office property located in Burbank, California. As of September 30, 2013, we own a 65.0% in the Pinnacle JV, which owns the 625,640 square-foot project known as The Pinnacle. As of December 31, 2012 and until the acquisition by the Pinnacle JV of the 231,864 square-foot Pinnacle II building on June 14, 2013, we owned a 98.25% interest in the Pinnacle JV, which owns the 393,776 square-foot Pinnacle I building.

6.25% series A cumulative redeemable preferred units of the Operating Partnership

6.25% series A cumulative redeemable preferred units of the Operating Partnership are 499,014 series A preferred units of partnership interest in our operating partnership, or series A preferred units, that are not owned by us. These series A preferred units are entitled to preferential distributions at a rate of 6.25% per annum on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit and became convertible at the option of the holder into common units or redeemable into cash or, at our option, exchangeable for registered shares of common stock, after June 29, 2013. In October 2013, one of our series A preferred unit holders required us to redeem 80,000 series A preferred units. We elected to redeem these units for cash equal to the liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit. As a result of this redemption, our outstanding series A preferred units decreased from 499,014 units outstanding to 419,014 units outstanding. For a description of the conversion and redemption rights of the series A preferred units, please see “Description of the Partnership Agreement of Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.—Material Terms of Our Series A Preferred Units” in our June 23, 2010 Prospectus.

8.375% Series B cumulative redeemable preferred stock

8.375% series B cumulative redeemable preferred stock are 5,800,000 shares of 8.375% preferred stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, $0.01 par value per share. In December 2010, we completed the public offering of 3,500,000 share of our series B preferred stock (including 300,000 shares of series B preferred stock issued and sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares in part). Total proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discount, were approximately $83.9 million (before transaction costs). On January 23, 2012, we completed the public offering of 2,300,000 of our series B cumulative preferred stock (including 300,000 shares of series B

preferred stock issued and sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares in full). Total proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discount, were approximately $57.5 million (before transaction costs).

Dividends on our series B preferred stock are cumulative from the date of original issue and payable quarterly on or about the last calendar day of each March, June, September and December, at the rate of 8.375% per annum of its $25.00 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $2.0938 per share per annum). If, following a change of control of the Company, either our series B preferred stock (or any preferred stock of the surviving entity that is issued in exchange for our series B preferred stock) or the common stock of the surviving entity, as applicable, is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, or NASDAQ (or listed or quoted on a successor exchange or quotation system), holders of our series B preferred stock will be entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends from, and including, the first date on which both the change of control occurred and either our series B preferred stock (or any preferred stock of the surviving entity that is issued in exchange for our series B preferred stock) or the common stock of the surviving entity, as applicable, is not so listed or quoted, at the increased rate of 12.375% per annum per share of the liquidation preference of our series B preferred stock (equivalent to $3.09375 per annum per share) for as long as either our series B preferred stock (or any preferred stock of the surviving entity that is issued in exchange for our series B preferred stock) or the common stock of the surviving entity, as applicable, is not so listed or quoted. Except in instances relating to preservation of our qualification as a REIT or in connection with a change of control of the Company, our series B preferred stock is not redeemable prior to December 10, 2015. On and after December 10, 2015, we may redeem our series B preferred stock in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption. If at any time following a change of control either our series B preferred stock (or any preferred stock of the surviving entity that is issued in exchange for our series B preferred stock) or the common stock of the surviving entity, as applicable, is not listed on the NYSE or quoted on NASDAQ (or listed or quoted on a successor exchange or quotation system), we will have the option to redeem our series B preferred stock, in whole but not in part, within 90 days after the first date on which both the change of control has occurred and either our series B preferred stock (or any preferred stock of the surviving entity that is issued in exchange for our series B preferred stock) or the common stock of the surviving entity, as applicable, is not so listed or quoted, for cash at $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. Our series B preferred stock has no maturity date and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed by us, and it is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and is not convertible into any of our other securities.

Dividends

During the third quarter for 2013, we declared dividends on our common stock and non-controlling common partnership interests of $0.125 per share and unit. We also declared dividends on our series A preferred partnership interests of $0.3906 per unit. In addition, we declared dividends on our series B preferred shares of $0.5234 per share. The third quarter dividends were declared on September 10, 2013 to holders of record on September 20, 2013.

Taxability of Dividends

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders, may differ from income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal income tax purposes in the treatment of loss on extinguishment of debt, revenue recognition, and compensation expense and in the basis of depreciable assets and estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Board of Directors awards restricted shares to non-employee board members on an annual basis as part of such board members’ annual compensation and to newly elected non-employee board members in accordance with our Board of Directors compensation program. The share-based awards are generally issued in the second quarter, and the individual share awards vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which is three years.

In addition, the Board of Directors awards restricted shares to employees on an annual basis as part of the employees’ annual compensation. The share-based awards are generally issued in the fourth quarter, and the individual share awards vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which is three years.

We recognize the total compensation expense for time-vested shares on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant.

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. 2012 Outperformance Program

On January 1, 2012, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors adopted the Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. 2012 Outperformance Program, or the 2012 Outperformance Program.  Participants in the 2012 Outperformance Program may earn, in the aggregate, up to $10.0 million of stock-settled awards based on our total shareholder return (“TSR”) for the three-year period beginning January 1, 2012 and ending December 31, 2014.  Under the 2012 Outperformance Program, participants will be entitled to share in a performance pool with a value, subject to the $10.0 million cap, equal to the sum of: (i) 4% of the amount by which our TSR during the performance period exceeds 9% simple annual TSR (“the absolute TSR component”), plus (ii) 4% of the amount by which our TSR during the performance period exceeds that of the SNL Equity REIT Index over the performance period (“the relative TSR component”), except that the relative TSR component will be reduced on a linear basis from 100% to 0% for absolute TSR ranging from 7% to 0% simple annual TSR over the performance period. In addition, the relative TSR component may be a negative value equal to 4% of the amount by which we underperform the SNL Equity REIT Index by more than 3% per year during the performance period (if any). If we attain pro-rated TSR performance goals during 2012 and/or 2013 that yield hypothetical bonus pools of up to $2 million for 2012 performance and/or up to $4 million for combined 2012/2013 performance, stock awards issued under the final bonus pool at the end of the performance period will cover a number of shares in the aggregate at least equal to the number of shares that would have been subject to stock awards issued at the end of 2012 or 2013 (whichever is greater) based on our TSR performance and common stock price for such prior years (subject to reduction to comply with the $10.0 million bonus pool limitation). At the end of the three-year performance period, participants who remain employed with us will be paid their percentage interest in the bonus pool as stock awards based on the value of our common stock at the end of the performance period. Half of each such participant’s bonus pool interest will be paid in fully vested shares of our common stock and the other half will be paid in restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that vest in equal annual installments over the two years immediately following the performance period (based on continued employment). In addition to these share/RSU payments, each 2012 Outperformance Program award entitles its holder to a cash payment equal to the aggregate dividends that would have been paid during the performance period on the total number of shares and RSUs ultimately issued or granted in respect of such 2012 Outperformance Program award, had such shares and RSUs been outstanding throughout the performance period.

If a participant’s employment is terminated without “cause,” for “good reason” or due to the participant’s death or disability during the performance period (referred to as qualifying terminations), the participant will be paid his or her 2012 Outperformance Program award at the end of the performance period entirely in fully vested shares (except for the performance period dividend equivalent, which will be paid in cash at the end of the performance period). Any such payment will be pro-rated in the case of a termination without “cause” or for “good reason” by reference to the participant’s period of employment during the performance period. If we experience a change in control or a participant experiences a qualifying termination of employment, in either case, after December 31, 2014, any unvested RSUs that remain outstanding will accelerate and vest in full upon such event.

The cost of the 2012 Outperformance Plan (approximately $3.49 million, subject to a forfeiture adjustment equal to 6% of the total cost) will be amortized through the final vesting period under a graded vesting expense recognition schedule. 

The 2012 Outperformance Program was valued, in accordance with ASC Topic 718, at an aggregate of approximately $3.49 million utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the performance vesting conditions being satisfied. The Monte Carlo simulation used a statistical formula underlying the Black-Scholes and binomial formulas and such simulation was run 100,000 times. For each simulation, the payoff is calculated at the settlement dates, which is then discounted to the award date at a risk-free interest rate. The average of the values over all simulations is the expected value of the unit on the award date. Assumptions used in the valuations included (1) factors associated with the underlying performance of the Company’s stock price and total shareholder return over the term of the performance awards including total stock return volatility and risk-free interest and (2) factors associated with the relative performance of the Company’s stock price and total shareholder return when compared to the SNL Equity REIT Index. The valuation was performed in a risk-neutral framework, so no assumption was made with respect to an equity risk premium. The fair value of the 2012 OPP Units is based on the sum of: (1) the present value of the expected payoff to the OPP Award on the measurement dates, if the TSR over the applicable measurement period exceeds performance hurdles of the absolute and the relative TSR components; and (2) the present value of the distributions payable on the 2012 OPP Units. The ultimate reward realized on account of the OPP Award by the holders of the 2012 OPP Units is contingent on the TSR achieved on the measurement dates, both in absolute terms and relative to the TSR of the SNL Equity REIT Index. The per unit fair value of each 2012 OPP Unit was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions in the Monte Carlo valuation: expected price volatility for the Company and the SNL Equity REIT

index of 36% and 35%, respectively; a risk free rate of 0.40%; and total dividend payments over the measurement period of $1.62 per share.

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. 2013 Outperformance Program

On January 1, 2013, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors adopted the Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. 2013 Outperformance Program, or the 2013 Outperformance Program. Participants in the 2013 Outperformance Program may earn, in the aggregate, up to $11.0 million of stock-settled awards based on our total shareholder return (“TSR”) for the three-year period beginning January 1, 2013 and ending December 31, 2015. Under the 2013 Outperformance Program, participants will be entitled to share in a performance pool with a value, subject to the $11.0 million cap, equal to the sum of: (i) 4% of the amount by which our TSR during the performance period exceeds 9% simple annual TSR (the “absolute TSR component”), plus (ii) 4% of the amount by which our TSR during the performance period exceeds that of the SNL Equity REIT Index (determined on a percentage basis that is then multiplied by the sum of (A) our market capitalization on that date, plus (B) the aggregate per share dividend over the performance period through such date) (the “relative TSR component”), except that the relative TSR component will be reduced on a linear basis from 100% to zero percent for absolute TSR ranging from 7% to zero percent simple annual TSR over the performance period. In addition, the relative TSR component may be a negative value equal to 4% of the amount by which we underperform the SNL Equity REIT Index by more than 3% per year during the performance period (if any). If we attain pro-rated TSR performance goals during 2013 and/or 2014 that yield hypothetical bonus pools of up to $2 million for 2013 performance and/or up to $4 million for combined 2013/2014 performance, stock awards issued under the final bonus pool at the end of the performance period will cover a number of shares in the aggregate at least equal to the number of shares that would have been subject to stock awards issued at the end of 2013 or 2014 (whichever is greater) based on our TSR performance and common stock price for such prior years (subject to reduction to comply with the $11.0 million bonus pool limitation). At the end of the three-year performance period, participants who remain employed with us will be paid their percentage interest in the bonus pool as stock awards based on the value of our common stock at the end of the performance period. Half of each such participant’s bonus pool interest will be paid in fully vested shares of our common stock and the other half will be paid in restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that vest in equal annual installments over the two years immediately following the performance period (based on continued employment) and which carry tandem dividend equivalent rights. However, if the performance period is terminated prior to December 31, 2015 in connection with a change in control, 2013 Outperformance Program awards will be paid entirely in fully vested shares of our common stock immediately prior to the change in control. In addition to these share/RSU payments, each 2013 Outperformance Program award entitles its holder to a cash payment equal to the aggregate dividends that would have been paid during the performance period on the total number of shares and RSUs ultimately issued or granted in respect of such 2013 Outperformance Program award, had such shares and RSUs been outstanding throughout the performance period.

If a participant’s employment is terminated without “cause,” for “good reason” or due to the participant’s death or disability during the performance period (referred to as qualifying terminations), the participant will be paid his or her 2013 Outperformance Program award at the end of the performance period entirely in fully vested shares (except for the performance period dividend equivalent, which will be paid in cash at the end of the performance period). Any such payment will be pro-rated in the case of a termination without “cause” or for “good reason” by reference to the participant’s period of employment during the performance period. If we experience a change in control or a participant experiences a qualifying termination of employment, in either case, after December 31, 2015, any unvested RSUs that remain outstanding will accelerate and vest in full upon such event.

The cost of the 2013 Outperformance Program (approximately $4.14 million, subject to a forfeiture adjustment equal to 6% of the total cost) will be amortized through the final vesting period under a graded vesting expense recognition schedule.

The 2013 Outperformance Program was valued, in accordance with ASC topic 718, at an aggregate of approximately $4.14 million utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the performance vesting conditions being satisfied. The Monte Carlo simulation used a statistical formula underlying the Black-Scholes and binomial formulas and such simulation was run 100,000 times. For each simulation, the payoff is calculated at the settlement dates, which is then discounted to the award date at a risk-free interest rate. The average of the values over all simulations is the expected value of the unit on the award date. Assumptions used in the valuations included (1) factors associated with the underlying performance of the Company’s stock price and total shareholder return over the term of the performance awards including total stock return volatility and risk-free interest and (2) factors associated with the relative performance of the Company’s stock price and total shareholder return when compared to the SNL Equity REIT Index. The valuation was performed in a risk-neutral framework, so no assumption was made with respect to an equity risk premium. The fair value of the 2013 OPP Units is based on the sum of: (1) the present value of the expected payoff to the OPP Award on the measurement dates, if the TSR over the applicable measurement period exceeds performance hurdles of the absolute and the relative TSR components; and (2) the present value

of the distributions payable on the 2013 OPP Units. The ultimate reward realized on account of the OPP Award by the holders of the 2013 OPP Units is contingent on the TSR achieved on the measurement dates, both in absolute terms and relative to the TSR of the SNL Equity REIT Index. The per unit fair value of each 2013 OPP Unit was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions in the Monte Carlo valuation: expected price volatility for the Company and the SNL Equity REIT index of 33% and 25%, respectively; a risk free rate of 0.38%; and total dividend payments over the measurement period of $1.50 per share.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, $5,159 and $3,212, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense for all stock compensation was recognized as additional paid-in capital, of which $4,974 and $3,198, respectively, was included in general and administrative expenses, with the remaining $185 and $14, respectively, of stock compensation capitalized to tenant improvement and deferred leasing costs and lease intangibles, net.

10. Related Party Transactions

Effective July 31, 2012, we consented to the assignment of a lease with a tenant of our 222 Kearny Street property to its subtenant, FJM Investments, LLC. The lease comprises approximately 3,707 square feet of the property’s space and has a remaining term through May 31, 2014. The annual rental obligation under the lease for calendar year 2012 is $125, the base rent component of which is subject to three percent annual increases. FJM Investments, LLC was co-founded by and is co-owned by one of our independent directors, Robert M. Moran, Jr.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

From time to time, the Company is party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings arising out of, or incident to, our ordinary course of business. Management believes, based in part upon consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of all such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. As of September 30, 2013, the risk of material loss from such legal actions impacting the Company’s financial condition or results from operations has been assessed as remote.

Concentrations

As of September 30, 2013, the majority of the Company’s properties were located in California, which exposes the Company to greater economic risks than if it owned a more geographically dispersed portfolio. Further, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, approximately 21% and 25%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were derived from tenants in the media and entertainment industry, which makes the Company susceptible to demand for rental space in such industry. Consequently, the Company is subject to the risks associated with an investment in real estate with a concentration of tenants in that industry.

12. Segment Reporting
The Company’s reporting segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting, which classifies its operations into two reporting segments: (i) office properties, and (ii) media and entertainment properties. The Company evaluates performance based upon property net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”) of the combined properties in each segment. NOI is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP, is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. All companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental financial measure to net income because it helps both investors and management to understand the core operations of the Company’s properties. The Company defines NOI as operating revenues (including rental revenues, other property-related revenue, tenant recoveries and other operating revenues), less property-level operating expenses (which includes external management fees and property-level general and administrative expenses). NOI excludes corporate general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairments, gain/loss on sale of real estate, interest expense, acquisition-related expenses and other non-operating items.
Summary information for the reportable segments for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is as follows:

13. Subsequent Events

Financings    

On October 18, 2013, the Company closed a four-year loan with U.S. Bank, National Association, secured by the Company’s Element LA property, which upon full disbursement, will total $65.5 million. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 195 basis points and will mature on November 1, 2017, provided that the Company may extend such maturity for up to two one-year periods, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. Proceeds from the loan are expected to be used to fund site-work, parking garage, base building, tenant improvement, and leasing commission costs associated with the renovation and lease-up of the property.

On November 1, 2013, the Company repaid the $33.7 million loan secured by the Company’s 625 Second Street property. That loan bore interest at a fixed rate of 5.85% and was scheduled to mature February 1, 2014. The repayment was made with proceeds from a draw under the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility.

Leasing Activities

On October 22, 2013, the Company entered a new 12-year lease with Deluxe Entertainment Services Inc., a leading provider of services and technologies for the global digital media and entertainment industry, for its entire 63,376 square-foot 3401 Exposition Blvd. property located in Santa Monica, California. Commencement of the lease with Deluxe is scheduled for early third quarter 2014.

Total office rental revenue increased $11.5 million, or 52.3%, to $33.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $22.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in rental revenue was primarily the result of the acquisition of the Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II buildings by our joint venture with MDP/Worthe on November 8, 2012 and June 14, 2013, respectively, and our acquisition of the Seattle portfolio on July 31, 2013.

The weighted average initial stabilized cash rents for those renewed leases were 7.3% above the expiring cash rents for the same space and the weighted average initial straight-line rents on those renewed leases were 14.2% above the expiring straight-line rents for the same space.

Office Tenant Recoveries. Office tenant recoveries increased $1.5 million, or 30.7%, to $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in tenant recoveries was primarily the result of the acquisition of the Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II buildings by our joint venture with MDP/Worthe on November 8, 2012 and June 14, 2013, respectively, and our acquisition of the Seattle portfolio on July 31, 2013.

Total media and entertainment revenues decreased $1.2 million, or 10.7%, to $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The period-over-period changes in the items that comprise total revenue are attributable primarily to the factors discussed below.

Media & Entertainment Rental Revenue. Media and entertainment rental revenue includes rental revenues from our media and entertainment properties and percentage rent on retail space contained within those properties.

Total other property-related revenue decreased $1.3 million, or 29.2%, to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of lower production activity at the Sunset Gower media and entertainment property compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Media & Entertainment Other Revenue. Other revenue includes service-related revenue, including the rental of certain sound recording equipment at our media and entertainment properties. Total other revenue remained relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Operating Expenses

Total Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses consist of property operating expenses, as well as property- and corporate-level general and administrative expenses, other property-related expenses, management fees and depreciation and amortization. Total operating expenses increased by $12.1 million, or 33.7%, to $48.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $36.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase in total operating expenses reflects the factors discussed below.

The decrease in operating expenses was primarily the result of lower production activity at the Sunset Gower media and entertainment property compared to the same quarter a year ago.
  
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses includes wages and salaries for corporate-level employees, accounting, legal and other professional services, office supplies, entertainment, travel, and automobile expenses, telecommunications and computer-related expenses, and other miscellaneous items. General and administrative expenses increased $0.9 million, or 22.9%, to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the adoption of the 2013 Outperformance Program and increased staffing to meet operational needs stemming from growth through the acquisitions of office properties.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $7.4 million, or 58.2%, to $20.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $12.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily the result of the acquisition of the Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II buildings by our joint venture with MDP/Worthe on November 8, 2012 and June 14, 2013, respectively, and our acquisition of the Seattle portfolio on July 31, 2013.

Other Expense (Income)

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $2.8 million, or 62.2%, to $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2013, the Company had $891.2 million of notes payable compared to $359.5 million at September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the increase in indebtedness associated with our 275 Brannan property financing on October 5, 2012, our 901 Market property financing on October 29, 2012, the indebtedness associated with the Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II buildings acquired on November 8, 2012 and June 14, 2013, respectively, and the indebtedness associated with the acquisition of the Seattle portfolio.

Acquisition-related expenses. Acquisition-related expenses remained relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $2.8 million compared to net loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to higher office operating expenses, higher general and administrative expenses, higher depreciation and amortization expenses, and higher interest expense, all partially offset by higher office operating revenues resulting from the acquisition of the Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II buildings by our joint venture with MDP/Worthe on November 8, 2012 and June 14, 2013, respectively, and our acquisition of the Seattle portfolio on July 31, 2013, all as described above.

The period-over-period changes in the items that comprise total revenue are attributable primarily to the factors discussed below. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its City Plaza property in Orange, California. Accordingly, the City Plaza property was reclassified as held for sale and its financial results are accounted for as discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012.

Office Rental Revenue. Office rental revenue includes rental revenues from our office properties and percentage rent on retail space contained within those properties.

The increase in rental revenue was primarily the result of operating results from the 901 Market property acquired on June 1, 2012, and the Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II buildings our joint venture with MDP/Worthe acquired on November 8, 2012 and June 14, 2013, respectively, and our acquisition of the Seattle portfolio on July 31, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30,

Total Media & Entertainment Revenue. Total media and entertainment revenue consists of rental revenue, tenant recoveries, other property-related revenue and other revenue. Total media and entertainment revenues increased 1.0 million, or 3.6%, to 30.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 29.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The period-over-period changes in the items that comprise total revenue are attributable primarily to the factors discussed below.

Media & Entertainment Rental Revenue. Media and entertainment rental revenue includes rental revenues from our media and entertainment properties and percentage rent on retail space contained within those properties. Total media and entertainment rental revenue remained relatively flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Media & Entertainment Tenant Recoveries. Tenant recoveries remained relatively flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Media & Entertainment Other Property-Related Revenue. Other property-related revenue is derived from the tenants’ rental of lighting and other equipment, parking, power, HVAC and telecommunications (telephone and Internet). Total other property-related revenue increased $0.6 million, or 5.3%, to $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in other property-related revenue resulted from stronger production activity compared to the same period a year ago.

Media & Entertainment Other Revenue. Other revenue includes service-related revenue, including the rental of certain sound recording equipment at our media and entertainment properties. Total other revenue increased $0.5 million, or 321.9%, to $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Operating Expenses

Total Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses consist of property operating expenses, as well as property- and corporate-level general and administrative expenses, other property-related expenses, management fees and depreciation and amortization. Total operating expenses increased by $26.3 million, or 25.2%, to $130.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $104.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This increase in total operating expenses reflects the factors discussed below. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its City Plaza property in Orange, California. Accordingly, the City Plaza property was reclassified as held for sale and its financial results are accounted for as discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012.

Office Operating Expenses. Office operating expenses increased $8.2 million, or 22.8%, to $44.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $36.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in operating expenses was primarily the result of operating results from the 901 Market property acquired on June 1, 2012, and

Table of Contents

the acquisition of the Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II buildings by our joint venture with MDP/Worthe on November 8, 2012 and June 14, 2013, respectively, and our acquisition of the Seattle portfolio on July 31, 2013. This increase in operating expenses also reflects a supplemental property tax expense associated with our Technicolor property which occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of approximately $0.9 million, with no comparable activity in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. If this supplemental property tax expense is disregarded, then operating expenses from continuing operations at the Company’s office properties would have increased by $9.1 million, or 26.0%, over the same quarter a year ago.

Media & Entertainment Operating Expenses. Media and entertainment operating expenses remained relatively flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Operating expenses for the first nine months of 2013 reflect a property tax reimbursement resulting from the reassessment of the Sunset Gower media and entertainment property of $0.8 million, with no comparable activity in the same period a year ago.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses includes wages and salaries for corporate-level employees, accounting, legal and other professional services, office supplies, entertainment, travel, and automobile expenses, telecommunications and computer-related expenses, and other miscellaneous items. General and administrative expenses increased $2.4 million, or 19.2%, to $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the adoption of the 2013 Outperformance Program and increased staffing to meet operational needs resulting from growth through the acquisitions of office properties.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $15.5 million, or 41.1%, to $53.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $37.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily the result of the 901 Market property acquired on June 1, 2012, and the Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II buildings our joint venture with MDP/Worthe acquired on November 8, 2012 and June 14, 2013, respectively, and our acquisition of the Seattle portfolio on July 31, 2013.

Other Expense (Income)

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $4.7 million, or 33.6%, to $18.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2013, the Company had $891.2 million of notes payable, compared to $359.5 million at September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to interest expenses for a full nine months on the indebtedness associated with our First Financial and 10950 Washington properties, the increase in indebtedness associated with our 275 Brannan property financing on October 5, 2012, our 901 Market property financing on October 29, 2012, the indebtedness associated with the Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II buildings acquired on November 8, 2012 and June 14, 2013, respectively, and the indebtedness associated with the acquisition of the Seattle portfolio.

Acquisition-related expenses. Acquisition-related expenses increased $0.2 million, or 21.7%, to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as a result of expenses associated with the acquisition of the Pinnacle II building on June 14, 2013 and our acquisition of the Seattle portfolio on July 31, 2013.

Net (Loss) Income From Discontinued Operations

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its City Plaza property in Orange, California, for approximately $56.0 million (before certain credits, prorations and closing costs). Accordingly, the City Plaza property was reclassified as held for sale and its financial results are accounted for as discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Income from discontinued operations associated with the City Plaza property increased $1.1 million, or 234.3%, to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company also recognized $5.6 million of impairment loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 based the estimated loss on sale of the City Plaza property, with no comparable activity in the same period a year ago. As a result of the combined income from discontinued operations and impairment loss from discontinued operations, the Company experienced a net loss from discontinued operations of $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to net income from discontinued operations of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Net Loss

Net Loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $5.9 million compared to net loss of $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to higher office operating expenses, higher general and administrative expenses, higher depreciation and amortization expenses, higher interest expense, and net loss from discontinued operations associated with the disposition of the City Plaza property, all partially offset by higher office operating revenues resulting from a full nine months of operating results from the 901 Market property acquired on June 1, 2012, and the acquisition of the Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II buildings by our joint venture with MDP/Worthe on November 8, 2012 and June 14, 2013, respectively, and our acquisition of the Seattle portfolio on July 31, 2013, and modestly higher and media and entertainment revenues, all as described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our ratio of debt to total market capitalization was approximately 41.0% (counting series A preferred units as debt) as of September 30, 2013. Our total market capitalization is defined as the sum of the market value of our outstanding common stock (which may decrease, thereby increasing our debt to total capitalization ratio), including restricted stock that we may issue to certain of our directors and executive officers, plus the aggregate value of common units not owned by us, plus the liquidation preference of outstanding series A preferred units and series B preferred stock, plus the book value of our total consolidated indebtedness. We had approximately $29.3 million of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2013. In addition, the lead arrangers for our unsecured revolving credit facility have secured commitments that will allow borrowings of up to $250 million to the extent our unencumbered pool properties support such borrowings. As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately $237.3 million of total capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facility, of which $80.0 million had been drawn. We intend to use the unsecured revolving credit facility, among other things, to finance the acquisition of properties, to refinance indebtedness, to provide funds for tenant improvements and capital expenditures and to provide for working capital and other corporate purposes
Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our limited partners and dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT status, capital expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through cash on hand, net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash and, if necessary, by drawing upon our unsecured revolving credit facility.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the repayment of debt at maturity, property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements using our unsecured credit facility pending permanent financing.
We believe we have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of additional equity. However, our ability to incur additional debt will be dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. Our ability to access the equity capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about the Company.

Cash and cash equivalents were $29.3 million and $18.9 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $4.2 million to $43.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $39.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in cash NOI, as defined, from our office properties, primarily from the acquisitions of the Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II buildings on November 8, 2012 and June 14, 2013, respectively, and the acquisition of the Seattle portfolio on July 31, 2013,and a a one-time lease termination payment from a tenant at our 1455 Market property. The increase was partially offset by an increase in deferred leasing costs and lease intangible costs associated with newly signed leases at 1455 Market, Rincon Center, and 275 Brannan, and an increase in general and administrative costs, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased $188.5 million to $390.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $202.0 million for nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in acquisition activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and an increase in tenant improvement-related expenditures at some of our office properties, partially offset by the sale of our City Plaza property on July 12, 2013.

Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $181.1 million to $357.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $175.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was due to greater proceeds from property financings, partially offset by increase in repayment of debt and an increase in dividends paid to common stock and unit holders as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, in 2012 we issued our series B preferred stock, with no comparable activity in 2013.
Indebtedness
Our indebtedness creates the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on or other amounts in respect of our indebtedness and other obligations. In addition, we may incur additional debt from time to time to finance strategic acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or for other purposes, subject to the restrictions contained in the documents governing our indebtedness. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase.
As of September 30, 2013, we had outstanding notes payable of $885.3 million (before loan premium), of which $414.3 million, or 46.8%, was variable rate debt. $161.5 million of the variable rate debt is subject to the interest rate contracts described in footnotes 7 and 9 in the table below.
The following table sets forth information as of September 30, 2013 with respect to our outstanding indebtedness (in thousands).

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates of certain items and judgments as to certain future events, for example with respect to the allocation of the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings, improvements, equipment, and any related intangible assets and liabilities, or the effect of a property tax reassessment of our properties. These determinations, even though inherently subjective and prone to change, affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. While we believe that our estimates are based on reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time they are made, some of our assumptions, estimates and judgments will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, actual outcomes will likely differ from our accruals, and those differences—positive or negative—could be material. Some of our accruals are subject to adjustment, as we believe appropriate based on revised estimates and reconciliation to the actual results when available.

In addition, we identified certain critical accounting policies that affect certain of our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have not made any material changes to these policies during the periods covered by this Report.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. As more fully described below, we use derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings. We only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors.
Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.
On February 11, 2011, we closed a five-year term loan totaling $92.0 million with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., secured by our Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson media and entertainment properties. The loan initially bore interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 3.50%. On March 16, 2011, we purchased an interest rate cap in order to cap one-month LIBOR at 3.715% on $50.0 million of the loan through its original maturity of February 11, 2016. On January 11, 2012 we purchased an interest rate cap in order to cap one-month LIBOR at 2.00% with respect to $42.0 million of the loan through its original maturity of February 11, 2016. Effective August 22, 2013, the terms of this loan were amended to increase the outstanding balance from $92.0 million to $97.0 million, reduce the interest rate from LIBOR plus 3.50% to LIBOR plus 2.25%, and extend the maturity date from February 11, 2016 to February 11, 2018. The interest rate contracts described above were not changed in connection with this loan amendment.

On July 31, 2013, we closed a seven-year loan totaling $64.5 million with Union Bank, N.A., secured by our Met Park North property. The loan bears interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 155 basis points. The full loan is subject to an interest rate contract that swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 2.1644% through the loans maturity on August 1, 2020.
Our unsecured revolving credit facility, loan on our 901 Market property, loan on our 275 Brannan property, loan on our 3401 Exposition Boulevard property, and loan on our First & King property are not subject to interest rate hedges. As of September 30, 2013, we had $80.0 million drawn under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Therefore, with respect to the $80.0 million on our unsecured revolving credit facility, the $97.0 million loan on our Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson media and entertainment properties, the $49.6 million loan on our 901 Market property, the $13.2 million loan on our 3401 Exposition Blvd. property, the $15.0 million loan on our 275 Brannan property, and the $95.0 million loan on our First & King property, if one-month LIBOR as of September 30, 2013 was to increase by 100 basis points, or 1.0%, the resulting increase in annual interest expense would impact our future earnings and cash flows by $3.5 million.
As of September 30, 2013, we had outstanding notes payable of $885.3 million (before loan premium), of which $414.3 million, or 46.8%, was variable rate debt. $92.0 million of the variable rate debt is subject to the interest rate contracts described in footnote 7 to the table above, another $64.5 million of the variable rate debt is subject to the interest rate contract described in footnote 9 to the table above, and $471.0 million of which was fixed rate secured mortgage loans. As of September 30, 2013, the estimated fair value of our fixed rate secured mortgage loans was $480.8 million.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of September 30, 2013, the end of the period covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
No changes to our internal control over financial reporting were identified in connection with the evaluation referenced above that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business.

As of September 30, 2013, the risk of material loss from such legal actions impacting the Company’s financial condition or results from operations has been assessed as remote.
