NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

As used in these notes to consolidated financial statements, tabular amounts are presented in thousands, except share amounts, percentage data and dates.

Note 1—Organization and Description of Business

Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc. (“Brookfield DTLA” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation and was incorporated on April 19, 2013. Brookfield DTLA was formed for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 24, 2013, as amended, and the issuance of shares of

7.625%

Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A preferred stock”) in connection with the acquisition of MPG Office Trust, Inc. and MPG Office, L.P. (together, “MPG”). Brookfield DTLA is a direct subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DTLA Holdings”, and together with its affiliates excluding the Company and its subsidiaries, the “Manager”). DTLA Holdings is an indirect partially‑owned subsidiary of Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (“BPY”), an exempted limited partnership under the Laws of Bermuda, which in turn is the flagship commercial property entity and the primary vehicle through which Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“BAM”), a corporation under the Laws of Canada, invests in real estate on a global basis.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Brookfield DTLA owned Bank of America Plaza (“BOA Plaza”), EY Plaza, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower, which are Class A office properties, and FIGat7th, a retail center nestled between EY Plaza and 777 Tower. Additionally, Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties II LLC (“Fund II”) has a noncontrolling interest in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture with Brookfield DTLA FP IV Holdings, LLC (“DTLA FP IV Holdings” or “Fund IV”), a wholly‑owned subsidiary of DTLA Holdings, which owns 755 South Figueroa, a residential development property. All of these properties are located in the Los Angeles Central Business District (the “LACBD”).

Brookfield DTLA receives its income primarily from lease income, including tenant reimbursements, generated from the operations of its office and retail properties, and to a lesser extent, revenue from its parking garages.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation

As used in these consolidated financial statements and related notes, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Brookfield DTLA,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” refer to Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc. together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10‑Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only those of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and interim results of Brookfield DTLA as of and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

The consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 include the accounts of Brookfield DTLA and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

The consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from Brookfield DTLA’s audited financial statements; however, the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 26, 2020.

Determination of Controlling Financial Interest

We consolidate entities in which Brookfield DTLA is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or has a majority of the voting interest in the entity. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We do not consolidate entities in which the other parties have substantive kick-out rights to remove the Company’s power to direct the activities, and most significantly impacting the economic performance, of the VIE. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider factors such as ownership interest, management representation, authority to control decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of each party.

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

We consolidate entities through which we conduct substantially all of our business, and own, directly and through subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets. As of June 30, 2020, these consolidated VIEs had in aggregate total consolidated assets of $2.8 billion (of which $2.4 billion is related to investments in real estate) and total consolidated liabilities of $2.3 billion (of which $2.2 billion is related to non-recourse debt secured by our office and retail properties). The Company is obligated to repay substantially all of the liabilities of our consolidated VIEs, except for the non-resource secured debt.

Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Venture. Fund II has a noncontrolling interest in a joint venture with DTLA FP IV Holdings. The Company determined that the joint venture is a VIE mainly because its equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the joint venture’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. While the joint venture meets the definition of a VIE, Brookfield DTLA is not its primary beneficiary as the Company lacks the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture’s economic performance. Therefore, the Company accounts for its ownership interest in the joint venture under the equity method. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s ownership interest in the joint venture was

54.5%

, a decrease from

55.8%

as of December 31, 2019 as a result of additional capital contributed by DTLA Holdings to the joint venture during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The liabilities of the joint venture may only be settled using the assets of 755 South Figueroa and are not recourse to the Company. Brookfield DTLA’s exposure to its investment in the joint venture is limited to its investment balance and the Company has no obligation to make future contributions to the joint venture. Pursuant to the operating agreement of the joint venture, DTLA FP IV Holdings may be required to fund additional amounts for the development of 755 South Figueroa, routine operating costs, and guaranties or commitments of the joint venture.

Impact of COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified in Wuhan, China and by March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization had declared it a global pandemic. On March 13, 2020, the U.S. declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. Many states, including California where our properties are located, have implemented “stay-at-home” restrictions to help combat the spread of COVID-19. The State of California order includes the shutdown of all nonessential services, such as dine-in restaurants, bars, gyms and conference or convention centers, and other businesses not deemed to support critical infrastructure (the “Shutdown”). Essential services, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations, food banks, convenience stores and delivery restaurants, were allowed to remain open. Consequently, business activities and supply chains were interrupted; travel was disrupted; there has been significant volatility in financial markets, resulting in a general decline in equity prices, increased interest spreads, and lower interest rates; and local, regional, national and international economic conditions, as well as the labor markets, were adversely impacted. Starting in May 2020, the State of California began easing the “stay-at-home” restrictions and reopening non-essential businesses according to a four-stage plan. The City of Los Angeles may ease its “stay-at‑home” order and reopen non-essential businesses at a slower rate than that used by the State of California to help prevent further spread of the virus in the City.

Our properties, which are located in the City of Los Angeles, have been adversely affected as a result of the Shutdown and the preventive measures taken to combat the spread of the pandemic. Some of the effects include the following:

Closure of non-essential retail tenants located in FIGat7th, with the exception of our anchor tenant, Target, a grocery store that is considered an essential service. Although the “stay-at-home” order was modified in Los Angeles in late May 2020, which allowed retailers and dine-in restaurants to reopen, all retailers and restaurants require modifications to support social distancing. As a result, our retail tenants are experiencing the most immediate impact of the Shutdown on their businesses;
While our office properties have remained open during the Shutdown, most of our office tenants have been working remotely since the “stay-at-home” order was issued and many continue to do so. As of June 30, 2020, most of our office tenants have been current in paying amounts due to us under their leases. However, they could face increased difficulty in meeting their lease obligations if prolonged mitigation efforts and the cost of social distancing modifications materially impact their businesses; and
--- ---
Decline in property values resulting from lower than anticipated revenues, slower increases in forecasted rental rates on new or renewal leases, timing of cash inflows from lease income due to tenants’ requests for payment deferrals, and reductions in projected leasing of available space.
--- ---

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it considers to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the impact of events such as the Shutdown. For example, estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to the fair value of assets and liabilities for purposes of the contribution of the Company’s wholly-owned interests in exchange for its noncontrolling interest in its unconsolidated real estate joint venture, the useful lives of assets, recoverable amounts of receivables, impairment of long-lived assets and the fair value of debt. Actual results could ultimately differ from such estimates.

Impairment Review

Investments in long-lived assets, including our investments in real estate, are reviewed for impairment quarterly or if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived assets might not be recoverable, which is referred to as a “triggering event” or an “impairment indicator.” The carrying amount of long-lived assets to be held and used is deemed not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Triggering events or impairment indicators for long-lived assets to be held and used are assessed by property and include significant fluctuations in estimated net operating income, changes in occupancy, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, rental rates, and other market factors. The impact of the Shutdown on economic and market conditions, together with many of our office property tenants working from home, was deemed to be a triggering event during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

When conducting the impairment review of our investments in real estate, we assessed the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon numerous factors, including the impact of the Shutdown. These factors include, but are not limited to, the credit quality of our tenants, available market information, known trends, current market/economic conditions that may affect the asset, and historical and forecasted financial and operating information relating to the property, such as net operating income, occupancy statistics, vacancy projections, renewal percentage, and rent collection rates. If the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by a property are less than its carrying amount, the Company determines the fair value of the property and an impairment loss would be recorded to write down the carrying amount of such property to its fair value. Based on its review, management concluded that none of Brookfield DTLA’s real estate properties were impaired as of June 30, 2020.

The Company’s investment in its unconsolidated real estate joint venture is also reviewed for impairment quarterly or if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of our investment might not be recoverable using similar criteria as its investments in real estate. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of an investment compared to its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on current plans, intended holding periods and information available at the time the analyses are prepared. Based on its review, management concluded that Brookfield DTLA’s investment in its unconsolidated real estate joint venture was not impaired as of June 30, 2020.

Our future results may continue to be impacted by risks associated with the Shutdown and the related global reduction in services, investments, commerce, travel, and substantial volatility in stock markets worldwide, which may result in a decrease in our cash flows and a potential increase in impairment losses and/or revaluations of our investments in real estate and unconsolidated real estate joint venture.

Rents, Deferred Rents and Other Receivables

Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases, Brookfield DTLA must assess on an individual lease basis whether it is probable that the Company will collect the future lease payments throughout the term of the lease. If the collectibility of the lease payments is probable at lease commencement, the Company recognizes lease income over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis. During the term of the lease, Brookfield DTLA monitors the credit quality and any related material changes of our tenants by (i) reviewing financial statements of the tenants that are publicly available or that are required to be delivered to us pursuant to the applicable lease, (ii) monitoring news reports regarding our tenants and their respective businesses, (iii) monitoring the tenant’s payment history and current credit status, and (iv) analyzing current economic trends, including the impact of the Shutdown on the tenant’s business. When collectibility is not deemed probable at the lease commencement date, the Company’s lease income is constrained to the lesser of (i) the income that would have been recognized if collection were probable, or (ii) the lease payments that have been collected from the lessee. If the collectibility assessment changes to probable after the lease commencement date, any difference between the lease income that would have been recognized if collectibility had always been assessed as probable and the lease income recognized to date is recognized as a current-period adjustment to lease income. If the collectibility assessment changes to not probable after the lease commencement date, lease income is reversed to the extent that the lease payments that have been collected from the lessee are less than the lease income recognized to date. Changes to the collectibility of operating leases are recorded as adjustments to lease income in the consolidated statement of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as the result of our assessment of the collectibility of amounts due under leases with our tenants, the Company recognized a reduction in lease income totaling $2.4 million, of which $0.8 million related to lease income from an affiliate of the Company.

The Company received certain rent relief and/or rent deferral requests for March 2020 and beyond from many of our retail tenants and some of our office tenants as a result of the Shutdown, of which the majority of requests related to rent deferral. Some of our tenants have availed themselves of various federal and state relief funds, such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the Paycheck Protection Program, which can be utilized to partially meet rental obligations. While our tenants are required to fulfill their commitments to us under their leases, we have implemented and will continue to carefully consider temporary rent deferrals on a lease-by-lease basis.

Adjusted for rent deferral concessions granted to our tenants, the Company collected substantially all amounts due from our tenants under their leases for March 2020,

97%

and

33%

of the amounts due from our office and retail tenants, respectively, or

95%

in the aggregate, for the period from April through June 2020.

Income Taxes

Brookfield DTLA has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its tax period ended December 31, 2013. Brookfield DTLA conducts its operations with the intent to continue to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, Brookfield DTLA is not subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that it continues to qualify as a REIT and makes distributions to its stockholders, if any, that generally equal or exceed its taxable income.

Brookfield DTLA has elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). A TRS is permitted to engage in activities that a REIT cannot engage in directly, such as performing non‑customary services for the Company’s tenants, holding assets that the Company cannot hold directly and conducting certain affiliate transactions. A TRS is subject to both federal and state income taxes. The Company’s various TRS did not have significant tax provisions or deferred taxes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Note 3—Recently Issued Accounting Literature

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, to amend the accounting for credit losses for certain financial instruments. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes its estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. In November 2018, the FASB released ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses. This amendment clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Subtopic 842-30, Leases–Lessor by adjusting lease income. See Note 2 “Basis of Presentation—Rents, Deferred Rents and Other Receivables” for a discussion of the accounting policy regarding impairment of receivables arising from operating leases. ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The majority of the Company’s receivables arise in the ordinary course of business under operating leases with its tenants and are therefore not subject to the guidance in Subtopic 326-20. Brookfield DTLA adopted the guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework–Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 amends Topic 820 by adding new fair value measurement disclosure requirements, as well as modifying and removing certain disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Brookfield DTLA adopted the guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities, which amends the related-party guidance in Topic 810. Specifically, ASU 2018-17 removes a sentence in ASC 810-10-55-37D regarding the evaluation of fees paid to decision makers to conform to the amendments in ASU 2016-17. ASU 2018-17 is effective for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Brookfield DTLA adopted the guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform —Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. Brookfield DTLA adopted this guidance in March 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2020, the FASB issued a staff question-and-answer document (“Q&A”) to clarify whether lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic require the application of the lease modification guidance under ASC Topic 842, Leases. Under Topic 842, the Company would have to determine, on a lease-by-lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). As discussed in the Q&A, the FASB staff believes that it would be acceptable for entities to make an election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under Topic 842 as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed (regardless of whether those enforceable rights and obligations for the concessions explicitly exist in the contract). If the concessions are directly related to the effects of COVID-19, and result in revised cash flows that are substantially the same or less than the original lease contracts, entities are allowed to bypass the lease-by-lease analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company agreed to defer rent due from certain tenants for March 2020 and beyond. For these tenants, the Company elected to account for the lease concessions as if they were part of the enforceable rights rather than as a modification. For leases that the Company granted a lease deferral concession, the Company recognized a receivable until the rental payment is received from the lessee at the deferred payment date. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the balance of rents, deferred rents and other receivables increased by $0.3 million reflecting the impact of rent deferral concessions granted to our tenants.

Wells Fargo Center–North Tower—

Brookfield DTLA intends to exercise the options available in the loan agreements to extend the maturity date of the debt secured by Wells Fargo Center–North Tower for one year to October 2021. As of June 30, 2020, we meet the criteria specified in the loan agreements to extend these loans.

EY Plaza—

Brookfield DTLA currently intends to refinance the debt secured by EY Plaza on or about its scheduled maturity in November 2020. There can be no assurance that the refinancing of this debt can be accomplished, what terms will be available in the market for this type of financing at the time of any refinancing, and whether a principal paydown will be needed when the debt is refinanced.

Gas Company Tower—

Brookfield DTLA currently intends to refinance the debt secured by Gas Company Tower on or about its scheduled maturity in August 2021. There can be no assurance that the refinancing of this debt can be accomplished, what terms will be available in the market for this type of financing at the time of any refinancing, and whether a principal paydown will be needed when the debt is refinanced.

Non-Recourse Carve Out Guarantees

All of secured debt is subject to “non-recourse carve out” guarantees that expire upon elimination of the underlying loan obligations. In connection with all of these loans, Brookfield DTLA entered into “non-recourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for these otherwise non-recourse loans to become partially or fully recourse against DTLA Holdings or one of its subsidiaries, if certain triggering events (as defined in the loan agreements) occur.

Debt Compliance

As of June 30, 2020, Brookfield DTLA was in compliance with all material financial covenants contained in the loan agreements.

Certain loan agreements held by Brookfield DTLA contain debt yield and debt service coverage ratios. As of June 30, 2020, Brookfield DTLA was meeting or exceeding these financial ratios, with the exception of the loan secured by Wells Fargo Center South that did not meet the minimum debt yield ratio. In addition, in June 2020, a cash sweep event was triggered on the loan secured by Gas Company Tower as a certain lease space restriction was not met.

Wells Fargo Center–South Tower —

Effective June 1, 2020, the borrower is subject to a minimum debt yield ratio. As of June 30, 2020, the borrower's debt yield ratio was under the minimum debt yield threshold. This does not constitute an Event of Default under the terms of the mortgage loan agreement. As a result of this debt yield event, any excess operating cash flows are to be swept to a cash account controlled by the loan administrative agent. Funds within this account shall first be applied to the borrower's operating expenses, second to permitted leasing expenditures, and third, remaining excess funds to be held as additional security for the payment of the loan. In addition, the borrower is required to deposit into an escrow fund account sufficient amounts to cover property taxes and insurance.

Gas Company Tower —

Pursuant to the terms of the Gas Company Tower senior mortgage loan agreement, effective on June 6, 2020, a cash sweep event commenced upon exercise of lease contraction rights by one of the major tenants. While this is not an Event of Default, all available cash (as defined in the underlying loan agreement) is currently swept to an account managed by the lender. The lender will regularly fund operating expenses based on an approved budget, and the borrower may request the release of additional funds to cover approved leasing costs.

The Series B preferred interest in Fund II held by DTLA Holdings is effectively senior to the interest in Fund II indirectly held by the Company and has a priority on distributions senior to the equity securities of such subsidiaries held indirectly by the Company and, as a result, effectively rank senior to the Series A preferred stock. The Series B preferred interest in Fund II may limit the amount of funds available to the Company for any purpose, including for dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock.

The Series A-1 preferred interest, senior participating preferred interest and Series B preferred interest (collectively, the “Preferred Interests”) are held by a noncontrolling interest holder. Series A preferred stock, Series A-1 preferred interest, senior participating preferred interest and Series B preferred interest are classified as mezzanine equity because they are callable, and the holder of the Series A-1 preferred interest, senior participating preferred interest, and Series B preferred interest indirectly controls the ability to elect to redeem such instruments, through its controlling interest in the Company and its subsidiaries. See Note 9—“Mezzanine Equity.”

Stockholders’ Deficit Component

Common interests held by DTLA Holdings are presented as “noncontrolling interests” as part of Stockholders’ Deficit in the consolidated balance sheets.

Distribution Waterfall

Brookfield DTLA may, at its discretion, distribute all or a portion of its available cash (as defined in the limited liability company agreement of Fund II) in the following priority: (1)

First to: Series B preferred interest unpaid preferred return
Second to: Series B preferred interest unreturned preferred capital
Third, proportionally in respect of<br><br>unpaid preferred return to:
Series A preferred interest unpaid preferred return (2)
Series A-1 preferred interest unpaid preferred return (3)

Series A preferred interest unreturned capital
Series A-1 preferred interest unreturned capital (3)
And fifth to: Common interests to Brookfield DTLA and DTLA Holdings (5)

__________

(1) Cash available to Fund II arises from its interests in its investments. Fund II owns indirectly all of the interests in Gas Company Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, 777 Tower and an interest in the 755 South Figueroa development site which will decrease as capital is called to fund the development. See Note 1 “Organization and Description of Business”. In addition, Fund II owns 96% indirectly of the interests in EY Plaza, FIGat7th and BOA Plaza (the “Fund III Assets”). DTLA Holdings owns the remaining 4% interest in the Fund III Assets. The amounts due to DTLA Holdings on the senior participating preferred interest for its preferred return and unreturned capital in Fund III were fully paid as of December 31, 2015. All of Fund II’s interests in these assets are subject to certain REIT accommodation preferred interests. This waterfall may be effected by future equity issuances in respect of Fund II, Fund III, Fund IV, or their subsidiaries, and are subject to all of the indebtedness of the entities.
(2) The Fund II Series A preferred interest is comprised of two parts, one is a preferred component with the analogous economic terms as the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and a common component, which is junior to the preferred component of the Series A interest on analogous terms to the relationship between the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock. The Series A preferred interest is junior to the Fund II Series B preferred interest. See Note 8 “Noncontrolling Interests — Series B Preferred Interest”. Amounts paid in respect of the Fund II’s Series A preferred interest are generally available upon distribution to the Company for further distribution in respect of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, and, when and if distributed in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock, will be distributed first to accumulated and unpaid dividends and to reduce its unreturned liquidation capital.
--- ---
(3) DTLA Holdings in its capacity as the holder of the Series A-1 preferred interest can waive receipt of distributions that would otherwise be made to it in respect of the Series A-1 preferred interest and such amounts shall be paid instead to the Series A preferred interest or as otherwise provided by the subsequent provisions of the waterfall. Any amounts waived by DTLA Holdings shall not reduce the Series A-1 unpaid preferred return or unreturned capital.

Note 12—Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine 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 “exit price”).

ASC Topic 820 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three categories:

Level 1— Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2— Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets but corroborated by market data.
Level 3— Unobservable prices that are used when little or no market data is available.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. Brookfield DTLA utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

Recurring Measurements—

The fair value of Brookfield DTLA’s interest rate swap contracts is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. These analyses reflect the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and use observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company has incorporated credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our and the respective counterparty’s non‑performance risk in the fair value measurements.

June 30, 2020 $ 1,565 $ $ 1,565 $
December 31, 2019 $ 1,143 $ $ 1,143 $

Nonrecurring Measurements—

The Company estimates the fair value of its debt by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of principal and interest payments for each loan. The calculation incorporates observable market interest rates (Level 2 inputs), assumes that each loan will be outstanding until maturity, and excludes any options to extend the maturity date of the loan available per the terms of the loan agreement, if any. The estimated fair value of Brookfield DTLA’s secured debt as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $2,206.6 million and $2,210.4 million, respectively, which approximates carrying value, excluding unamortized debt financing costs.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables, other assets, accounts payable and other liabilities, and balances with affiliates approximate fair value.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs.

Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries may be subject to pending legal proceedings and litigation incidental to its business. After consultation with legal counsel, management believes that any liability that may potentially result upon resolution of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Concentration of Tenant Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that tenants may be unable to fulfill their lease commitments. Brookfield DTLA’s properties are typically leased to high credit-rated tenants for lease terms ranging from five to ten years, although we also enter into some short-term as well as longer-term leases. As our entire portfolio is located in the LACBD, any specific economic changes within that location could affect our tenant base, and by extension, our profitability.

Brookfield DTLA generally does not require collateral or other security from its tenants, other than security deposits or letters of credit. Our credit risk is mitigated by the high quality of our existing tenant base, review of prospective tenants’ risk profiles prior to lease execution, and frequent monitoring of our tenant portfolio to identify problem tenants. However, since we may have a concentration of lease income from certain tenants, the inability of those tenants to make payments under their leases could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

The recent Shutdown has increased the risk in the near term of our tenants’ ability to fulfill their lease commitments. Certain tenants could declare bankruptcy or become insolvent and cease business operations as a result of prolonged mitigation efforts. See Note 2 “Basis of Presentation—Rents, Deferred Rents and Other Receivables” for a discussion of collectibility of lease income as of June 30, 2020.

Capital Commitments

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $31.3 million in tenant-related commitments, including tenant improvements, tenant inducements and leasing commissions, which are based on executed leases. As of June 30, 2020, $13.3 million of our tenant-related commitments were expected to be paid during the remainder of 2020. Additionally, we had $9.1 million in construction-related commitments, mainly related to retention payable to contractors for the atrium redevelopment project at Wells Fargo Center as of June 30, 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations.

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Actual results could ultimately differ from such estimates.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto that appear in Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As used in this section unless otherwise indicated, tabular amounts are presented in thousands, except leasing information, percentage data and years.

Overview and Background

Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc. (“Brookfield DTLA” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation and was incorporated on April 19, 2013. Brookfield DTLA was formed for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 24, 2013, as amended, and the issuance of shares of 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A preferred stock”) in connection with the acquisition of MPG Office Trust, Inc. and MPG Office, L.P. (together, “MPG”). Brookfield DTLA is a direct subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DTLA Holdings”, and together with its affiliates excluding the Company and its subsidiaries, the “Manager”). DTLA Holdings is an indirect partially‑owned subsidiary of Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (“BPY”), an exempted limited partnership under the Laws of Bermuda, which in turn is the flagship commercial property entity and the primary vehicle through which Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“BAM”), a corporation under the Laws of Canada, invests in real estate on a global basis.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Brookfield DTLA owned Bank of America Plaza (“BOA Plaza”), EY Plaza, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower, which are Class A office properties, and FIGat7th, a retail center nestled between EY Plaza and 777 Tower. Additionally, Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties II LLC (“Fund II”) has a noncontrolling interest in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture with Brookfield DTLA FP IV Holdings, LLC, a wholly‑owned subsidiary of DTLA Holdings, which owns 755 South Figueroa, a residential development property. All of these properties are located in the Los Angeles Central Business District (the “LACBD”).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Brookfield DTLA receives its income primarily from lease income, including tenant reimbursements, generated from the operations of its office and retail properties, and to a lesser extent, revenue from its parking garages.

Brookfield DTLA has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its tax period ended December 31, 2013. Brookfield DTLA conducts its operations with the intent to continue to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, Brookfield DTLA is not subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that it continues to qualify as a REIT and makes distributions to its stockholders, if any, that generally equal or exceed its taxable income.

Brookfield DTLA has elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). A TRS is permitted to engage in activities that a REIT cannot engage in directly, such as performing non‑customary services for the Company’s tenants, holding assets that the Company cannot hold directly and conducting certain affiliate transactions. A TRS is subject to both federal and state income taxes. The Company’s various TRS did not have significant tax provisions or deferred taxes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Brookfield DTLA’s business requires continued access to adequate cash to fund its liquidity needs. The amount of cash Brookfield DTLA currently generates from its operations is not sufficient to cover its operating, investing and financing activities, resulting in “negative cash burn,” and there can be no assurance that the amount of Brookfield DTLA’s negative cash burn will decrease, or that it will not increase, in the future. If Brookfield DTLA’s operating cash flows and capital are not sufficient to cover its operating costs or to repay its indebtedness as it comes due, such cash would be provided by DTLA Holdings or the Company may issue additional debt and/or equity, including to affiliates of Brookfield DTLA, which issuances could further adversely impact the amount of funds available to Brookfield DTLA for any purpose, including for dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock. In many cases, such securities may be issued if authorized by the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA without the approval of holders of the Series A preferred stock.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Impact of COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified in Wuhan, China and by March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization had declared it a global pandemic. On March 13, 2020, the U.S. declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. Many states, including California where our properties are located, have implemented “stay-at-home” restrictions to help combat the spread of COVID-19. The State of California order includes the shutdown of all nonessential services, such as dine-in restaurants, bars, gyms and conference or convention centers, and other businesses not deemed to support critical infrastructure (the “Shutdown”). Essential services, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations, food banks, convenience stores and delivery restaurants, were allowed to remain open. Consequently, business activities and supply chains were interrupted; travel was disrupted; there has been significant volatility in financial markets, resulting in a general decline in equity prices, increased interest spreads, and lower interest rates; and local, regional, national and international economic conditions, as well as the labor markets, were adversely impacted. Starting in May 2020, the State of California began easing the “stay-at-home” restrictions and reopening non-essential businesses according to a four-stage plan. The City of Los Angeles may ease its “stay-at‑home” order and reopen non-essential businesses at a slower rate than that used by the State of California to help prevent further spread of the virus in the City.

Our properties, which are located in the City of Los Angeles, have been adversely affected as a result of the Shutdown and the preventive measures taken to combat the spread of the pandemic. Some of the effects include the following:

Closure of non-essential retail tenants located in FIGat7th, with the exception of our anchor tenant, Target, a grocery store that is considered an essential service. Although the “stay-at-home” order was modified in Los Angeles in late May 2020, which allowed retailers and dine-in restaurants to reopen, all retailers and restaurants require modifications to support social distancing. As a result, our retail tenants are experiencing the most immediate impact of the Shutdown on their businesses;
While our office properties have remained open during the Shutdown, most of our office tenants have been working remotely since the “stay-at-home” order was issued and many continue to do so. As of June 30, 2020, most of our office tenants have been current in paying amounts due to us under their leases. However, they could face increased difficulty in meeting their lease obligations if prolonged mitigation efforts and the cost of social distancing modifications materially impact their businesses; and
--- ---
Decline in property values resulting from lower than anticipated revenues, slower increases in forecasted rental rates on new or renewal leases, timing of cash inflows from lease income due to tenants’ requests for payment deferrals, and reductions in projected leasing of available space.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

The Company received certain rent relief and/or rent deferral requests for March 2020 and beyond from many of our retail tenants and some of our office tenants as a result of the Shutdown, of which the majority of requests related to rent deferral. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, rents, deferred rents and other receivables increased by $0.3 million reflecting the impact of rent deferral concessions granted to our tenants. Some of our tenants have availed themselves of various federal and state relief funds, such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the Paycheck Protection Program, which can be utilized to partially meet rental obligations. While our tenants are required to fulfill their commitments to us under their leases, we have implemented and will continue to carefully consider temporary rent deferrals on a lease-by-lease basis.

Adjusted for rent deferral relief granted to our tenants, the Company collected substantially all amounts due from our tenants under their leases for March 2020, 97% and 33% of the amounts due from our office and retail tenants, respectively, or 95% in the aggregate, for the period from April through June 2020. See

Item 1. “Financial Statements—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 2—Basis of Presentation—Rents, Deferred Rents and Other Receivables”

for a discussion of how we assess the collectibility of amounts due under leases with our tenants, including any adjustments made to lease income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of our review.

As a result of the impact of the Shutdown, we expect our 2020 revenue and cash flows to be negatively impacted by (1) reduced parking revenue as a result of employees of our office tenants working from home, and closures or limited operations of retail stores and restaurants, (2) lower collections of amounts due under leases with our tenants, and (3) a slowdown in leasing activity for both vacant and expiring space.

In addition, see Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for a discussion about risks that the Shutdown directly or indirectly may pose to our business.

Capital Expenditures and Leasing Costs

Capital expenditures fluctuate in any given period, subject to the nature, extent and timing of improvements required to maintain Brookfield DTLA’s properties. Leasing costs also fluctuate in any given period, depending upon such factors as the type of property, the length and type of lease, the involvement of external leasing agents and overall market conditions.

Brookfield DTLA expects that capital improvements and leasing activities at its properties will require material amounts of cash for at least several years. According to our 2020 business plan, Brookfield DTLA projects spending approximately $369.0 million over the next five years consisting of $218.6 million for tenant improvements, $77.0 million for leasing costs and $73.4 million for capital expenditures. The expected capital improvements include, but are not limited to, renovations and physical capital upgrades to Brookfield DTLA’s properties, upgrades to fire alarm, security and HVAC systems, and elevator upgrades. These projections are estimates and may be subject to changes per future revisions of speculative leasing plans.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

See “Indebtedness” below for more information regarding future advance amounts available as of June 30, 2020 under the loans secured by the Wells Fargo Center–South Tower and 777 Tower office properties that can be drawn to fund approved leasing costs, including tenant improvements and inducements and leasing commissions, and, in the case of Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, common area improvements.

Indebtedness

As of June 30, 2020, Brookfield DTLA’s debt was comprised of mortgage and mezzanine loans secured by seven properties. A summary of our debt as of June 30, 2020 is as follows:

Principal<br><br>Amount Percent of<br><br>Total Debt Effective<br><br>Interest<br><br>Rate Weighted Average<br><br>Term to<br><br>Maturity
Fixed-rate $ 908,500 41 % 4.19 % 3 years
Variable-rate swapped to fixed-rate 230,000 10 % 3.81 % <1 year
Variable-rate (1) (2) 1,070,796 49 % 2.36 % 2 years
Total secured debt $ 2,209,296 100 % 3.26 % 2 years

__________

(1) As of June 30, 2020 and through the date of this report, a future advance amount of $29.2 million is available under the Wells Fargo Center–South Tower mortgage loan that can be drawn to fund approved leasing costs (as defined in the underlying loan agreement), including tenant improvements and inducements, leasing commissions, and common area improvements.
(2) As of June 30, 2020 and through the date of this report, a future advance amount of $43.6 million is available under the 777 Tower mortgage and mezzanine loans that can be drawn to fund approved leasing costs (as defined in the underlying loan agreements), including tenant improvements and inducements, and leasing commissions.
--- ---

As of June 30, 2020, we intend to extend the maturity date of the debt secured by Wells Fargo Center–North Tower totaling $500.0 million for one year to October 2021. As of June 30, 2020, we meet the criteria specified in the loan agreements to extend Wells Fargo Center–North Tower loans. In addition, we intend to refinance the debt secured by EY Plaza totaling $265.0 million on or about its scheduled maturity in November 2020, and Gas Company Tower totaling $450.0 million on or about its scheduled maturity in August 2021. There can be no assurance that the extension or refinancing of these obligations can be accomplished, what terms will be available in the market for this type of financing at the time of any refinancing, and whether a principal paydown will be needed when the debt is refinanced.

Non-Recourse Carve Out Guarantees

All of secured debt is subject to “non-recourse carve out” guarantees that expire upon elimination of the underlying loan obligations. In connection with all of these loans, Brookfield DTLA entered into “non-recourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for these otherwise non-recourse loans to become partially or fully recourse against DTLA Holdings or one of its subsidiaries, if certain triggering events (as defined in the loan agreements) occur.

Debt Compliance

As of June 30, 2020, Brookfield DTLA was in compliance with all material financial covenants contained in the loan agreements.

Certain loan agreements held by Brookfield DTLA contain debt yield and debt service coverage ratios. As of June 30, 2020, Brookfield DTLA was meeting or exceeding these financial ratios, with the exception of the loan secured by Wells Fargo Center South that did not meet the minimum debt yield ratio. In addition, in June 2020, a cash sweep event was triggered on the loan secured by Gas Company Tower as a certain lease space restriction was not met.

Wells Fargo Center–South Tower —

Effective June 1, 2020, the borrower is subject to a minimum debt yield ratio. As of June 30, 2020, the borrower's debt yield ratio was under the minimum debt yield threshold. This does not constitute an Event of Default under the terms of the mortgage loan agreement. As a result of this debt yield event, any excess operating cash flows are to be swept to a cash account controlled by the loan administrative agent. Funds within this account shall first be applied to the borrower's operating expenses, second to permitted leasing expenditures, and third, remaining excess funds to be held as additional security for the payment of the loan. In addition, the borrower is required to deposit into an escrow fund account sufficient amounts to cover property taxes and insurance.

Gas Company Tower —

Pursuant to the terms of the Gas Company Tower senior mortgage loan agreement, effective on June 6, 2020, a cash sweep event commenced upon exercise of lease contraction rights by one of the major tenants. While this is not an Event of Default, all available cash (as defined in the underlying loan agreement) is currently swept to an account managed by the lender. The lender will regularly fund operating expenses based on an approved budget, and the borrower may request the release of additional funds to cover approved leasing costs.

Leasing Activity

Occupancy level. The following table summarizes leasing activity at Brookfield DTLA’s properties for the six months ended June 30, 2020:

Leasing<br><br>Activity Percentage<br><br>Leased
Leased square feet as of December 31, 2019 6,286,137 82.9 %
Expirations (333,524 ) (4.4 )%
New leases 72,829 1.0 %
Renewals 117,616 1.6 %
Remeasurement adjustments 2,012 %
Leased square feet as of June 30, 2020 6,145,070 81.1 %

Lease expirations. The following table summarizes the large expiries at Brookfield DTLA’s properties during the six months ended June 30, 2020:

Tenant Property Leased<br><br>Square Feet
Kirkland & Ellis LLP BOA Plaza 74,343
Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP EY Plaza 56,839
Richards, Watson & Gershon Wells Fargo Center–South Tower 43,979
Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP Wells Fargo Center–North Tower 27,009
Latham & Watkins LLP Wells Fargo Center–South Tower 25,858
Dykema Gossett PLLC Wells Fargo Center–North Tower 25,502
WeWork Gas Company Tower 9,802
263,332

Occupancy decreases during the six months ended June 30, 2020 are mainly attributable to contractual expirations of lease agreements. Leasing volume for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is down significantly and we expect the same trend for the remainder of 2020. Many companies have paused anticipated leasing transactions while they re-direct their focus on addressing the impact of the Shutdown on their business, including protecting their employees and managing financial and operating matters. At the same time, we have ongoing interest and lease negotiations with existing tenants on lease renewals/extensions and expansion of space and continued negotiations with prospective tenants on leasing of space.

(1) Annualized rent represents the annualized monthly contractual rent under executed leases as of June 30, 2020. This amount reflects total base rent before any rent abatements as of June 30, 2020 and is shown on a net basis; thus, for any tenant under a partial gross lease, the expense stop, or under a fully gross lease, the current year operating expenses (which may be estimates as of such date), are subtracted from gross rent. Total abatements for executed leases as of June 30, 2020 for the twelve months ending June 30, 2021 are approximately $8.6 million, or $1.40 per leased square foot.
(2) Annualized rent per rentable square foot represents annualized rent as computed above, divided by leased square feet as of June 30, 2020.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Discussion of Consolidated Cash Flows

The following discussion of Brookfield DTLA’s cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows in Item 1. “Financial Statements” and is not meant to be an all‑inclusive discussion of the changes in its cash flows for the periods presented below.

A summary of changes in Brookfield DTLA’s cash flows is as follows:

For the Six Months Ended Dollar<br><br>Change
June 30,
2020 2019
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 31,874 $ 21,712 $ 10,162
Net cash used in investing activities $ (31,730 ) $ (80,359 ) $ 48,629
Net cash provided by financing activities $ 10,233 $ 25,067 $ (14,834 )

Operating Activities

Brookfield DTLA’s cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon (1) the occupancy level of its portfolio, (2) the rental rates achieved on its leases, (3) the collectibility of rent and other amounts billed to tenants and (4) changes in working capital. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to increases in working capital year over year and a decrease in interest payments on secured debt, partially offset by a decrease in parking revenue resulting from the “stay-at-home” order implemented since March 2020.

Investing Activities

Brookfield DTLA’s cash flows from investing activities are generally impacted by the amount of capital expenditures for its properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had capital expenditures of approximately $15.0 million at Wells Fargo Center, mainly for the continued atrium redevelopment project. This project was substantially complete as of June 30, 2020. Construction of food vendor spaces has started with retail openings targeted for early 2021. In addition, the Company spent $12.9 million for tenant improvements at BOA Plaza, 777 Tower and Gas Company Tower in connection with leasing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company spent $40.7 million for tenant improvements at BOA Plaza, EY Plaza and 777 Tower in connection with lease renewals by major tenants along with continued atrium redevelopment project at Wells Fargo Center totaling $20.7 million. Construction activities and tenant improvements were in process with no delays due to mandates issued by the state or local ordinances arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Financing Activities

Brookfield DTLA’s cash flows from financing activities are generally impacted by its loan activity, and contributions from and distributions to its equity holders, if any. Proceeds from the Series B preferred interest were the main source of cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, as Brookfield DTLA had excess cash from upsized refinancing of the loans secured by 777 Tower in October 2019 and operating activities generated from other properties, it repurchased $6.9 million of Series B preferred interest. In addition, it made distributions of $7.9 million to the Series B preferred interest holder, compared to $2.7 million during the same period in 2019.

Discussion of Results of Operations

The full extent of the impact of the Shutdown on our business, operations and financial results depends on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. In addition, we cannot predict the impact that the Shutdown will have on our tenants, employees, contractors, lenders, suppliers, vendors and joint venture partner; any material effect on these parties could also have a material adverse effect on us. The impact of the Shutdown on our revenue, in particular lease income and parking revenue for the third quarter of 2020 and thereafter, also cannot be determined at present. The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid and we are actively managing our response in collaboration with our tenants and government officials and assessing potential impacts to our financial position and operating results, as well as potential adverse developments in our business. See Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for a discussion about risks that COVID-19 directly or indirectly may pose to our business.

Parking revenue includes monthly and transient parking income. With non‑essential businesses closed and employees working from home, parking revenue decreased accordingly.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Rental Property Operating and Maintenance Expense

Rental property operating and maintenance expense decreased as our non-essential retail tenants have closed and most of our office tenants have been working remotely since the issuance of the “stay-at-home” order in March 2020. The decrease in rental property operating and maintenance expense was in line with the decrease in lease income.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased primarily due to decrease in weighted average LIBOR rates on our variable-rate debt from 2.46% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to 0.47% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and refinancing of 777 Tower debt at lower interest rates in October 2019, partially offset by an increase in debt outstanding as a result of the 777 Tower debt refinancing.

Gain from Derecognition of Assets

In May 2019, Fund II entered into an agreement to contribute and transfer all of its wholly-owned interests in Brookfield DTLA 4050/755 Inc., the indirect property owner of 755 South Figueroa, in exchange for noncontrolling interests in a new joint venture formed with Brookfield DTLA FP IV Holdings, LLC, and recognized a $15.0 million gain.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

See Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020 for a discussion regarding our exposure to market risk.

Brookfield DTLA receives its income primarily from lease income generated from the operations of its office and retail properties, and to a lesser extent, revenue from its parking garages. Our properties are typically leased to high credit-rated tenants for lease terms ranging from five to ten years, although we also enter into some short-term as well as some longer-term leases. Our leases usually require the license of a minimum number of monthly parking spaces at the property and in many cases contain provisions permitting tenants to renew expiring leases at prevailing market rates.

The closure of non-essential retail tenants beginning in March 2020 negatively impacted all of our tenants at our FIGat7th property, with the exception of our anchor tenant, Target, a grocery store that is considered an essential service. Although the “stay-at-home” order was modified in Los Angeles in late May 2020, which allowed retailers and dine-in restaurants to reopen, all retailers and restaurants require modifications to support social distancing. The main customers of our FIGat7th retail property are tourists and office workers, many of whom have not yet returned to Downtown Los Angeles. As a result, our retail tenants are experiencing the most immediate impact of the Shutdown on their businesses.

While our office properties have remained open during the Shutdown, most of our office tenants have been working remotely since the “stay-at-home” order was issued and many continue to do so. Our office tenants do not presently have acute difficulty in fulfilling their lease commitments in the near term. However, they could face increased difficulty if prolonged mitigation efforts materially impact their businesses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Brookfield DTLA maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal 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 required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), Brookfield DTLA carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Brookfield DTLA’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, G. Mark Brown, our principal executive officer, and Bryan D. Smith, our principal financial officer, concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in Brookfield DTLA’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or that are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting due to the Shutdown. We are continually monitoring and assessing the impact of the Shutdown on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries may be subject to pending legal proceedings and litigation incidental to its business. After consultation with legal counsel, management believes that any liability that may potentially result upon resolution of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

(Cautionary Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995)

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (as set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, include statements regarding our operations, business, financial condition, expected financial results, performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals, ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook, as well as the outlook for North American and international economies for the current fiscal year and subsequent periods, and include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “likely,” or negative versions thereof and other similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” and “could.”

Although Brookfield DTLA believes that its anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and information are based upon reasonable assumptions and expectations, the reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond its control, which may cause Brookfield DTLA’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information.

In particular, in the near term, we expect to be impacted by the ongoing and developing recent novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which has interrupted business activities and supply chains; disrupted travel; contributed to significant volatility in the financial markets, resulting in a general decline in equity prices, increased interest spreads and lower interest rates; impacted social conditions; and adversely impacted local, regional, national and international economic conditions, as well as the labor markets.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

Risks incidental to the ownership and operation of real estate properties, including local real estate conditions;
The impact or unanticipated impact of general economic, political and market factors in the regions in which Brookfield DTLA or any of its subsidiaries does business, including as a result of the Shutdown;
--- ---
The ability to enter into new leases or renew leases on favorable terms;

Table of Contents

Brookfield DTLA cautions that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on Brookfield DTLA’s forward-looking statements or information, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Except as required by law, Brookfield DTLA undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward‑looking statements or information, whether written or oral, that may be as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

In addition to the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020, the following are additional risk factors that management believes are material to Brookfield DTLA at this time. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing Brookfield DTLA and there may be additional matters that Brookfield DTLA is unaware of or that Brookfield DTLA considers immaterial. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed, the market value of the Series A preferred stock could decline and stockholders could lose part or all of their investment.

Property Risks

Our property investments are generally subject to varying degrees of risk depending on the nature of the property. These risks include changes in general economic conditions (including the availability and costs of mortgage funds), local conditions (including an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the markets in which we operate), the attractiveness of the properties to tenants, competition from other landlords with competitive space and our ability to provide adequate maintenance at an economical cost.

Certain significant expenditures, including property taxes, maintenance costs, mortgage payments, insurance costs and related charges, must be made regardless of whether a property is producing sufficient income to service these expenses. Brookfield DTLA currently has aggregate consolidated indebtedness totaling $2.2 billion that requires substantial debt service payments. If we become unable or unwilling to meet debt service payments on any property, losses could be sustained as a result of the lender’s exercise of its rights of foreclosure or sale. We believe the stability and long‑term nature of our contractual revenues effectively mitigates these risks. In addition, in connection with all of our secured debt, Brookfield DTLA entered into “non-recourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for these otherwise non-recourse loans to become partially or fully recourse against DTLA Holdings or one of its subsidiaries, if certain triggering events (as defined in the loan agreements) occur.

We are affected by local, regional, state, and national economic conditions and other events and occurrences that affect the market in which we own assets. As noted above, economic conditions have been impacted substantially by the Shutdown. A protracted decline in economic conditions would cause downward pressure on our operating margins and asset values as a result of lower demand for space.

Our properties are located in the Downtown Los Angeles market. A prolonged downturn in the economy of this area would result in reduced demand for space and number of prospective tenants and will affect the ability of our properties to generate significant revenue. If there is an increase in operating costs resulting from inflation and other factors, we may not be able to offset such increases by increasing rents.

Public Health Risk

Our business could be materially adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases. As a result of the rapid spread of COVID-19, many companies and various governments have imposed restrictions on business activity and travel which may continue and could expand. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances surrounding COVID-19, it is difficult to predict how significant the impact of this coronavirus outbreak, including any responses to it, will be on the Company or for how long disruptions are likely to continue. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, rapidly evolving and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of this coronavirus and actions taken to contain COVID-19 or its impact, among others. Such developments, depending on their nature, duration, and intensity, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We operate office and retail properties in an area impacted by the Shutdown. Adverse impacts on our business may include:

A complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or tenant action;
A slowdown in business activity may severely impact our tenants’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to fund their business operations, meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations;
--- ---
An increase in re-leasing timelines, potential delays in lease-up of vacant space and the market rates at which such lease will be executed;
--- ---
Reduced economic activity could result in a prolonged recession, which could negatively impact consumer discretionary spending; and
--- ---
Expected completion dates for our construction projects may be subject to delay as a result of local economic conditions that may continue to be disrupted as a result of the Shutdown.
--- ---

If these and potential other disruptions caused by the Shutdown continue, our business could be materially adversely affected.

Table of Contents

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that tenants may be unable to fulfill their lease commitments. We mitigate this risk by ensuring that our tenant mix is diversified and by limiting our exposure to any one tenant. The recent Shutdown has increased the risk in the near term of our tenants’ ability to fulfill lease commitments, which has been materially impacted by retail store closures, quarantines and the “stay-at-home” order. Certain tenants could declare bankruptcy or become insolvent and cease business operations as a result of prolonged mitigation efforts.

The closure of non-essential retail tenants beginning in March 2020 negatively impacted all of our tenants at our FIGat7th property, with the exception of our anchor tenant, Target, a grocery store that is considered an essential service. Although the “stay-at-home” order was modified in Los Angeles in late May 2020, which allows retailers and dine-in restaurants to reopen, all retailers and restaurants require modifications to support social distancing. The main customers of our FIGat7th retail property are tourists and office workers, many of whom have not yet returned to Downtown Los Angeles. As a result, our retail tenants are experiencing the most immediate impact of the Shutdown on their businesses.

While our office properties have remained open during the Shutdown, most of our office tenants have been working remotely since the “stay-at-home” order was issued and many continue to do so. Our office tenants do not presently have acute difficulty in fulfilling their lease commitments in the near term. However, they could face increased difficulty if prolonged mitigation efforts materially impact their businesses.

Economic Risk

Real estate is relatively illiquid and may be even more illiquid in the context of an economic downturn that may result from the Shutdown. Such illiquidity may limit our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions. Also, financial difficulties of other property owners resulting in distressed sales could depress real estate values in the markets in which we operate. Our office properties generate a relatively stable source of income from contractual tenant lease payments. Continued growth of lease income is dependent on strong leasing markets to ensure expiring leases are renewed and new tenants are found promptly to fill vacancies. We are substantially protected against short-term market conditions, as most of our leases are long-term in nature with an average remaining term of approximately seven years as of June 30, 2020.

Interest Rate and Financing Risk

We have an on-going need to access debt markets to refinance maturing debt as it comes due. There is a risk that lenders will not refinance such maturing debt on terms and conditions acceptable to us or on any terms at all. This risk may be increased as a result of disrupted market conditions resulting from the Shutdown. Our strategy is to maintain relationships with a large number of lenders to limit exposure to any single counterparty. In addition, Brookfield DTLA uses interest rate swap and cap contracts to manage risk from fluctuations in interest rates on its variable-rate loans. The Company believes these contracts are with counterparties who are credit-worthy.

59


Table of Contents

Additional material risk factors are discussed in other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020. Those risks are also relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

Dividends on the Series A preferred stock are cumulative and therefore will continue to accrue at an annual rate of $1.90625 per share. As of July 31, 2020, the cumulative amount of unpaid dividends totaled $196.0 million.
