Forward Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Report) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).  You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as "approximates," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "would," "could", "may", "future" or other similar expressions in this Report.  We claim the protection of the safe harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Report, or those that we may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on our beliefs and assumptions.  The actual outcome will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control or ability to predict.  Although we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, they are not guarantees of future performance and some will inevitably prove to be incorrect.  As a result, our actual future results can be expected to differ from our expectations, and those differences may be material.  Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on previously reported forward-looking statements, which were based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include the following:

adverse economic or real estate developments in Southern California and Honolulu, Hawaii;
a general downturn in the economy, such as the global financial crisis that commenced in 2008;
decreased rental rates or increased tenant incentive and vacancy rates;
defaults on, early termination of, or non-renewal of leases by tenants;
increased interest rates and operating costs;
failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness;
difficulties in raising capital for our institutional funds;
difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions;
failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations;
failure to maintain our status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) under federal tax laws;
possible adverse changes in rent control laws and regulations;
environmental uncertainties;
risks related to natural disasters;
lack or insufficient amount of insurance, or changes to the cost of maintaining existing insurance coverage;
inability to successfully expand into new markets and submarkets;
risks associated with property development;
conflicts of interest with our officers;
changes in real estate zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates;
the negative results of litigation or governmental proceedings;
the consequences of any possible future terrorist attacks; and
the consequences of any possible future cyber attacks or intrusions.

For further discussion of the above risk factors, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This Report and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.  We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report.

1. Overview

Organization and Business Description

Douglas Emmett, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). We are one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. We focus on owning and acquiring a substantial share of top-tier office properties and premier multifamily communities in neighborhoods that possess significant supply constraints, high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities.

Through our interest in Douglas Emmett Properties, LP (our operating partnership) and its subsidiaries, as well as our investment in our institutional unconsolidated real estate funds (Funds), we own or partially own, manage, lease, acquire and develop real estate, consisting primarily of office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. As of June 30, 2015, we owned a consolidated portfolio of fifty-four office properties (including ancillary retail space) and ten multifamily properties, as well as the fee interests in two parcels of land subject to ground leases from which we earn ground rent income. Alongside our consolidated portfolio, we also manage and own equity interests in our Funds which, at June 30, 2015, owned eight additional office properties, for a combined sixty-two office properties in our total portfolio.

The terms "us," "we" and "our" as used in these financial statements refer to Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, are the consolidated financial statements of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our operating partnership.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements, and to conform to additional line items added in the current period presentation, we have reported more detail for the prior period. During the current reporting period, we reported our proceeds from, and repayments of, borrowings related to our credit facility on a gross basis in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and we have reclassified the comparable period, which was previously reported on a net basis, to conform to the current period presentation. The change in presentation did not change the net cash provided by (used in) financing activities that we previously reported for the comparable period.

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 (GAAP) 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 interim 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 ending December 31, 2015.  The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the notes thereto.  Any references in this report to the number of properties, square footage and geography, are 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 (PCAOB).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

During the period covered by this report, we have not made any material changes to our significant accounting policies included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Provided that 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. We are subject to corporate-level tax on the earnings that we derive through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS).

New Accounting Pronouncements 

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs).  We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (Topics 205 and 360), which provides guidance for reporting discontinued operations. The amendments in this ASU change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements. The ASU was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2014, which for us was the first quarter of 2015. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2015 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), which provides guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs. To simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this Update would require that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt, consistent with the manner in which debt discounts or premiums would be presented. This ASU is the final version of Proposed ASU 2014-250-Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), which has been deleted. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which for us would be the first quarter of 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The ASU requires that the new presentation of debt issuance costs be applied on a retrospective basis. The change in presentation is required to be disclosed as a change in accounting principle. We do not expect the ASU to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2015, the FASB affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) by one year. The proposed Update would also allow entities to apply the new revenue standard as of the original effective date.  The ASU is currently effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, which for us is the first quarter of 2017. As a result of the proposal, the ASU would be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which for us is the first quarter of 2018. The Board affirmed its proposal to permit all entities to apply the new revenue standard early, but not before the original effective date, that is fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, which for us is the first quarter of 2017. The Board directed the staff to draft a final Accounting Standards Update for vote by written ballot. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations, as lease contracts are not within the scope of this ASU.

The FASB has not issued any other ASUs during 2015 that we expect to be applicable and have a material impact on our future financial position or results of operations.

2015 Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we made two acquisitions: (i) on March 5, 2015, we purchased a 227,000 square foot Class A multi-tenant office property (First Financial Plaza), located in Encino, California, for $92.4 million, or approximately $407 per square foot, and (ii) on February 12, 2015, we acquired the fee interest in the land (Harbor Court Land) under one of our office buildings for $27.5 million. See Notes 5 and 13. We recognized $6.6 million of accretion of an above-market ground lease related to the purchase of the Harbor Court Land, which is included in other income in the consolidated statement of operations. See Note 4. The results of operations for these acquisitions are included in our consolidated statements of operations after the respective date of their acquisitions.

8. Derivative Contracts

Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

We make use of interest rate swap and interest rate cap contracts to manage the risk associated with changes in interest rates on our floating-rate debt. When we enter into a floating-rate term loan, we generally enter into an interest rate swap agreement for the equivalent principal amount, for a period covering the majority of the loan term, which effectively converts our floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis during that time. In limited instances, we make use of interest rate caps to limit our exposure to interest rate increases on our floating-rate debt. We do not speculate in derivatives and we do not make use of any other derivative instruments. See Note 6 for the details of our floating-rate debt that we have hedged.

Accounting for Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

When we enter into derivative agreements, we generally elect to have them designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. For hedging instruments designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value of the hedging instrument are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI), which is a component of equity outside of earnings, and any hedge ineffectiveness is recorded as interest expense. Amounts recorded in AOCI related to our designated hedges are then reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the hedged floating rate debt. Amounts reported in AOCI related to our Funds' hedges are reclassified to income, including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds, as interest payments are made by our Funds on their hedged floating rate debt. For hedging instruments which are not designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value of the hedging instrument are recorded as interest expense.

Summary of our derivatives

As of June 30, 2015, all of our interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges:

The notional amount presented represents 100%, not our pro-rata share, of the amounts related to the Fund. At June 30, 2015, we held an equity interest of 68.61% of the Fund involved. See Note 16 for more information regarding our Funds.

As of June 30, 2015, we had three purchased interest rate caps with a notional value of $18.0 million that were not designated as cash flow hedges.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

We have agreements with each of our interest rate swap counterparties that contain a provision under which we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations if we default on the underlying indebtedness that we are hedging. As of June 30, 2015, there have been no events of default with respect to our interest rate swaps or our Fund's interest rate swap.

Noncontrolling Interests

Our noncontrolling interests consist of (i) interests in our operating partnership that are not owned by us and (ii) a minority partner's one-third interest in a consolidated joint venture which owns an office building in Honolulu, Hawaii. Noncontrolling interests in our operating partnership consist of OP Units and fully-vested Long Term Incentive Plan Units ("LTIP Units") and represented approximately 15% of our operating partnership as of June 30, 2015 when we had 146.3 million shares of common stock and 26.4 million OP Units and LTIP Units outstanding. A share of our common stock, an OP Unit and an LTIP Unit (once vested and booked up) have essentially the same economic characteristics, sharing equally in the distributions from our operating partnership.  Investors who own OP Units have the right to cause our operating partnership to redeem their OP Units for an amount of cash per unit equal to the then current market value of one share of our common stock, or, at our election, for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. LTIP Units have been granted to our key employees and non-employee directors as a portion of their compensation. These awards generally vest over time and once vested can generally be converted to OP Units.

Equity Compensation

The Douglas Emmett, Inc. 2006 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, our stock incentive plan, is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors.  All officers, employees, directors and consultants are eligible to participate in our stock incentive plan.  For more information on our stock incentive plan, please refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Total net equity compensation expense for equity grants was $2.0 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $3.9 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These amounts are net of capitalized equity compensation of $210 thousand and $137 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $402 thousand and $269 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised and repurchased was $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and $2.2 million and $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

10. Earnings Per Share (EPS)

We calculate basic EPS by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We calculate diluted EPS by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive instruments outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. We account for unvested LTIP awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities and include these securities in the computation of EPS using the two-class method. The table below presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS:

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our estimates of the fair value of financial instruments were determined using available market information and widely used valuation methods.  Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and determine an estimated fair value.  The use of different market assumptions or valuation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair values. The FASB fair value framework hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity, and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market-based inputs.  The hierarchy is as follows:
 
Level 1 - inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  
Level 2 - inputs are observable either directly or indirectly for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.  
Level 3 - inputs are unobservable assumptions generated by the reporting entity

As of June 30, 2015, we did not have any fair value measurements of financial instruments using Level 3 inputs.

Financial instruments disclosed at fair value

Short term financial instruments: The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, revolving credit lines, interest payable, accounts payable, security deposits and dividends payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Note receivable: See Note 16 for the details of our note receivable. Based on observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, the fair value of the note receivable approximated its carrying value at June 30, 2015.

Secured notes payable: See Note 6 for the details of our secured notes payable. We estimate the fair value of our secured notes payable by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of the principal and interest payments for each secured note payable. The calculation incorporates observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, assumes that the loans will be outstanding through maturity, and excludes any maturity extension options. The table below presents (in thousands) the estimated fair value of our secured notes payable:

Financial instruments measured at fair value

Derivative instruments: See Note 8 for the details of our derivatives. We present our derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, on a gross basis, excluding accrued interest.  We estimate the fair value of our derivative instruments by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of the expected future cash flows of each derivative.  The calculation incorporates the contractual terms of the derivatives, observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, and credit risk adjustments to reflect the counterparty's as well as our own nonperformance risk. Our derivatives are not subject to master netting arrangements.  The table below presents (in thousands) the estimated fair value of our derivatives:

12. Future Minimum Lease Receipts

We lease space to tenants primarily under non-cancelable operating leases that generally contain provisions for a base rent plus reimbursement for certain operating expenses.  Operating expense reimbursements are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as tenant recoveries. We also lease space to certain tenants under non-cancelable leases that provide for percentage rents based upon tenant revenues.  Percentage rental income totaled $140 thousand and $116 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $370 thousand and $243 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

13. Future Minimum Lease Payments

We incurred lease payments related to two ground leases of $183 thousand and $606 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $366 thousand and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We acquired the fee interest related to one of those ground leases in February 2015 (see Notes 3 and 5).

14. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.  Excluding ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our business, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Concentration of Risk

Our properties are located in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii.  The ability of our tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors affecting the markets in which our tenants operate.  We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our tenants for potential credit losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, no tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total rental revenue and tenant recoveries.  

We have financial instruments that subject us to credit risk, which consist primarily of accounts receivable, deferred rents receivable and interest rate contracts.  We maintain our cash and cash equivalents at high quality financial institutions with investment grade ratings.  Interest bearing accounts at each U.S. banking institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250 thousand.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Conditional asset retirement obligations represent a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within our control.  A liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation must be recorded if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated.  Environmental site assessments and investigations have identified twenty-three properties in our consolidated portfolio, and four properties owned by our Funds, which contain asbestos, and would have to be removed in compliance with applicable environmental regulations if these properties undergo major renovations or are demolished.  As of June 30, 2015, the obligations to remove the asbestos from these properties have indeterminable settlement dates, and we are unable to reasonably estimate the fair value of the associated conditional asset retirement obligation.

Guarantees

We made certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve outs for a $325.0 million loan of one of our Funds. The loan matures on May 1, 2018, and carries interest that is effectively fixed by an interest rate swap which matures on May 1, 2017, we have also guaranteed the related swap. We have an indemnity from the Fund for any amounts that we would be required to pay under these agreements. As of June 30, 2015, the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were approximately $3.6 million.  As of June 30, 2015, all obligations under the loan and swap agreements have been performed by the Fund in accordance with the terms of those agreements.

15. Segment Reporting

Segment information is prepared on the same basis that we review information for operational decision-making purposes.  We operate in two business segments: (i) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of office real estate and (ii) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily real estate.  The services for our office segment primarily include rental of office space and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental.  The services for our multifamily segment include rental of apartments and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental.

Asset information by segment is not reported because we do not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources.  Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments.  General and administrative expenses and interest expense are not included in segment profit as our internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level.

Segment profit is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP, it is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.  Not all companies may calculate segment profit in the same manner.  We consider segment profit to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it can assist both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our properties.
The table below presents (in thousands) the operating activity of our reportable segments:

16. Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Funds

Description of our Funds

We manage and own equity interests in two Funds, Fund X and Partnership X, through which we and investors own eight office properties totaling 1.8 million square feet in our core markets.  At June 30, 2015, we held equity interests of 68.61% of Fund X and 24.25% of Partnership X. We received cash distributions from our Funds totaling $2.2 million and $4.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $3.2 million and $6.2 million during the three and six ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Our investment in the Funds includes an unsecured note receivable. In April 2013, we loaned $2.9 million to a related party investor in connection with a capital call made by Fund X. The loan carries interest at one month LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum, and is due and payable no later than April 1, 2017, with mandatory prepayments equal to any distributions with respect the related party's interest in Fund X. The interest recognized on this note is included in other income in our consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the balance outstanding on the loan was $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively. See Note 11 for our fair value disclosures.

17. Subsequent events

On July 1, 2015, we paid off the remaining $259.6 million of a $400.0 million term loan due in 2017 using cash on hand and funds from our credit line.

On July 27, 2015, we closed a non-recourse $180.0 million interest only term loan. The interest rate on the loan is Libor plus 1.45%, which has been effectively fixed at 3.06% per annum until July 2020 using an interest rate swap. The loan is secured by one of our office properties and, including a two year extension option, effectively matures in July 2022.

In August 2015, we renewed our At-the-Market program for an additional three years and increased the value of the common stock covered by it to $400.0 million.

Financings  
 
In the first quarter of 2015, we closed a secured, non-recourse, ten year $102.4 million interest only term loan that will mature in April 2025. The loan bears interest at LIBOR + 1.25%, and has been effectively fixed at 2.84% per annum until March 2020 utilizing an interest rate swap. The loan is secured by our recently acquired multifamily property in Honolulu, Hawaii. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more detail regarding our debt.
In April 2015, we closed a secured, non-recourse, seven year $340 million interest only term loan that will mature in April 2022. The loan bears interest at LIBOR + 1.40%, and has been effectively fixed at 2.77% per annum until April 2020 utilizing an interest rate swap. The loan is secured by a pool of six properties. We used the proceeds from this loan to prepay $140 million of our $400 million loan due in 2017 and to pay down the outstanding balance on our credit line.
On July 1, 2015, we used cash on hand and funds from our credit line to pay off the remaining $260 million of the $400 million loan due in 2017.
On July 27, 2015, we closed a non-recourse $180 million interest only term loan that will mature in July 2022 with interest effectively fixed at 3.06% per annum until July 2020. The loan is secured by an office building in Hawaii. We used the proceeds from this loan to pay down a portion of the outstanding balance on our credit line.
 
Acquisitions and Dispositions 
 
In the first quarter of 2015, we closed on the purchase of a 227,000 square foot Class A multi-tenant office property located in Encino, California for $92.4 million, or approximately $407 per square foot. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more detail regarding our acquisitions.
In the first quarter of 2015, we acquired the fee interest in the land under one of our office buildings for the equivalent of $27.5 million. In that first quarter, we recognized the remaining $6.6 million of accretion of an above-market ground lease under which we had leased the land. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more detail regarding the accretion of the above-market ground lease.
Development and Repositionings
We are developing two multifamily projects, one in Brentwood, Los Angeles, and one in Honolulu, Hawaii. Each development is on land which we already own:

We are planning the construction of an additional 500 apartments at our Moanalua Hillside Apartments in Honolulu. We expect construction will take approximately 18 months and cost approximately $120 million. Hawaii has started offering some incentive programs to encourage the type of workhouse housing that we are going to build, and we are in the process of applying for those program incentives before proceeding further with construction.
In Los Angeles, we are seeking to build a high rise apartment project with 376 residential units. Because development in our markets, particularly West Los Angeles, remains a long and uncertain process, we do not expect to break ground in Los Angeles before late 2017, even if the entitlement process is successful. We expect the cost of this development to be approximately $120 million to $140 million.
 
We often strategically purchase properties with large vacancies or expected near-term lease roll-over and use our knowledge of the property and submarket to reposition the property for the optimal use and tenant mix. The work we undertake to reposition a building typically takes months or even years, and could involve a range of improvements from a complete structural renovation to a targeted remodeling of selected spaces. We generally select a property for repositioning at the time we purchase it, although repositioning efforts can also occur at properties that we already own. During the repositioning, the affected property may display depressed rental revenue and occupancy levels which impacts our results and, therefore, comparisons of our performance from period to period. We are currently repositioning a 79,000 square foot office property in Honolulu, Hawaii, in which we own a two-thirds interest, as well as a 413,000 square foot office property in Brentwood, Los Angeles, which included 35,000 square foot of retail space on which we expect to develop a 34 story, 376 unit residential high-rise as described above.

Historical Results of Operations

Overview

Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of the rental operations of fifty-three consolidated office properties and ten consolidated multifamily properties for the full six months, as well as (after the date of acquisition) one additional consolidated office property that we acquired on March 5, 2015. Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of the rental operations of fifty-two consolidated office properties and nine consolidated multifamily properties.  Our share of the earnings from our Funds, which owned an additional eight office properties during the three and six months ended June 2015 and 2014, is included in income, including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds. We did not acquire or sell any interests in our Funds during the three and six months ended June 2015 or 2014. Our Funds did not acquire or sell any properties during the three and six months ended June 2015 or 2014.
 
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Consolidated Funds From Operations (FFO)

Many investors use Funds From Operations as one performance yardstick to compare the operating performance with that of other REITs.  FFO represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairments of depreciable operating property and investments, real estate depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of deferred financing costs), and after the same adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). Like any metric, FFO has limitations as a measure of our performance, because it excludes depreciation and amortization, and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations.  Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to the FFO of other REITs. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance.  FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of cash available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.  FFO should not be used as a supplement to or a substitute measure for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.

FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $0.2 million, or 0.3%, to $71.0 million compared to $70.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in operating income from our office portfolio due to acquisitions, and (ii) an increase in operating income from our multifamily portfolio due to an acquisition and higher rental rates, partially offset by (iii) an increase in interest expense due to higher debt balances and acceleration of the amortization of deferred loan costs due to loan refinancings, and (iv) higher other income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of the inclusion of insurance recoveries related to fire damage. FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $6.7 million, or 4.8%, to $147.0 million compared to $140.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase primarily reflects the same factors as the three month increase, as well as an increase in other income resulting from accelerated accretion from a ground lease (see Notes 3 and 5).
