1. Business and Organization

Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) is the sole general partner of Armada Hoffler, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The operations of the Company are carried on primarily through the Operating Partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Both the Company and the Operating Partnership were formed on October 12, 2012 and commenced operations upon completion of the underwritten initial public offering of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “IPO”) and certain related formation transactions (the “Formation Transactions”) on May 13, 2013.

Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. Predecessor (the “Predecessor”) is not a single legal entity, but rather a combination of real estate and construction entities. The Predecessor is engaged in the development, construction, ownership and management of office, retail and multifamily properties in markets throughout the Mid-Atlantic United States. The entities comprising the Predecessor include (i) the property development and asset management businesses of Armada Hoffler Holding Company, Inc. (“AH Holding”), (ii) the general commercial construction businesses of Armada Hoffler Construction Company and Armada Hoffler Construction Company of Virginia (collectively, “AH Construction”), (iii) controlling interests in entities that own 22 properties (seven office, 14 retail and one multifamily), (iv) controlling interests in entities undertaking the development of six properties (two office, two retail and two multifamily, collectively the “Development Pipeline”) and (v) non-controlling interests in entities that own one retail property and one multifamily property (collectively, the “Non-controlled Entities”). AH Holding, AH Construction, the controlling interests in the 22 real estate properties and the controlling interests in the Development Pipeline are referred to as the Controlled Entities. The Controlled Entities were under common ownership by their individual partners, members and stockholders and under common control by Daniel A. Hoffler. Mr. Hoffler had the ability to control each of the Controlled Entities as the primary beneficiary, the majority vote holder or through his interest as a general partner or managing member. The financial position and results of operations of the Controlled Entities have been combined in the Predecessor financial statements. The Predecessor accounted for its investments in the Non-controlled Entities under the equity method of accounting.

On May 22, 2013, the underwriters of the IPO exercised their overallotment option in full to purchase an additional 2,478,750 shares at the IPO price of $11.50 per share. Proceeds from the IPO to the Company after deducting the underwriting discount were approximately $203.2 million. The common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “AHH” and began trading on May 8, 2013. The Company contributed the net proceeds from the IPO to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership repaid approximately $150.0 million of outstanding indebtedness and paid approximately $47.2 million as partial consideration to prior investors in connection with the Formation Transactions.

Pursuant to the Formation Transactions, the Operating Partnership (i) acquired 100% of the interests in the Controlled Entities and the Non-controlled Entities, (ii) succeeded to the ongoing construction and development businesses of AH Holding and AH Construction, (iii) assumed asset management of certain of the properties acquired from the Predecessor, (iv) succeeded to the third party asset management business of AH Holding, (v) succeeded to the development projects in the Predecessor’s development pipeline, (vi) received options to acquire nine parcels of developable land from the Predecessor and (vii) entered into a contribution agreement to acquire a 197-unit multifamily property that is currently under development, upon satisfaction of certain conditions and transferability restrictions, including completion of the project’s construction by AH Construction.

The Company accounted for the contribution or acquisition of interests in the Controlled Entities as transactions among entities under common control because Mr. Hoffler had the ability to control each of the Controlled Entities as previously described. As a result, the contribution or acquisition of interests in each of the Controlled Entities was accounted for at the Predecessor’s historical cost. The acquisitions of interests in the Non-controlled Entities were accounted for as purchases at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting.

On May 13, 2013, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company, as parent guarantor, entered into a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Operating Partnership has the option to increase the borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility to $250.0 million. The revolving credit facility has a three-year term with an initial maturity date of May 13, 2016. The Operating Partnership has the option to extend the term to May 12, 2017. Upon completion of the IPO, the Operating Partnership borrowed $40.0 million under the revolving credit facility to fund a portion of the consideration payable in connection with the completion of the Formation Transactions, repay existing lines of credit and certain debt relating to the projects in the Company’s development pipeline and repay existing indebtedness relating to certain properties acquired in connection with the Formation Transactions. In June 2013, the Operating Partnership repaid $15.0 million on the revolving credit facility. Armada Hoffler Tower, Richmond Tower, Virginia Natural Gas and Sentara Williamsburg collectively serve as the borrowing base collateral for the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility bears interest between LIBOR plus 1.60% and LIBOR plus 2.20%.

Because of the timing of the IPO and the Formation Transactions, the Company’s financial condition as of December 31, 2012 and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 reflect the financial condition and results of operations of the Predecessor. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 reflect the results of operations of the Predecessor together with the Company, while the financial condition as of June 30, 2013 reflects solely the Company. References in these notes to condensed consolidated and combined financial statements to “Armada Hoffler” signify the Company for the period after the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions on May 13, 2013 and the Predecessor for all prior periods.

The Company intends to elect to be taxed and to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2013.

Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), the Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”). An EGC may choose to take advantage of the extended private company transition period provided for complying with new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the FASB or the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company has elected to opt out of such extended transition period. This election is irrevocable.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Combination and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The financial position and results of operations of the entities comprising the Predecessor have been combined because they were under the common control of Mr. Hoffler and under the common management by Armada Hoffler. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in combination. In the opinion of management, the consolidated and combined financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements have not been audited and exclude certain disclosures required for annual financial statements. Also, the operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in the Company’s final prospectus dated May 7, 2013 (SEC File No. 333-187513).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Such estimates are based on management’s best judgment, after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements were prepared using the accounting principles described in the Company’s final prospectus dated May 7, 2013 (SEC File No. 333-187513).

Income Taxes

For periods prior to the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions on May 13, 2013, no provision was made for U.S. federal, state or local income taxes because profits and losses of the Predecessor flowed through to its respective partners, members and shareholders who were individually responsible for reporting such amounts.

Table of Contents

For periods subsequent to the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions, the taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) of the Operating Partnership are subject to federal, state and local corporate income taxes. The Operating Partnership conducts its development and construction businesses through the TRS. The related income tax provision or benefit attributable to the profits or losses of the TRS is reflected in the consolidated and combined financial statements.

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for deferred income tax in accordance with GAAP. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the statutory rates expected to be applied in the periods in which those temporary differences are settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period of the change. A valuation allowance is recorded on the Company’s deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets, all evidence, both positive and negative is evaluated. Items considered in this analysis include the ability to carryback losses, the reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies and expectations of future earnings.

Under GAAP, the amount of tax benefit to be recognized is the amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Management analyzes its tax filing positions in the U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns for all open tax years in these jurisdictions. If, based on this analysis, management determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a liability is established. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in the provision for income taxes. If recognized, the entire amount of unrecognized tax positions would be recorded as a reduction to the provision for income taxes.

Noncontrolling Interests

Upon completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions, the Operating Partnership issued 13,059,365 common units of limited partnership interest to the Predecessor’s prior investors as partial consideration for the contribution of their interests in the Predecessor to the Operating Partnership, which the Company recognized at fair value. Noncontrolling interests in the Company represent common units of the Operating Partnership held by the Predecessor’s prior investors. As of June 30, 2013, the Company held a 59.5% interest in the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner and the majority interest holder, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership.

Holders of common units may not transfer their units without the Company’s prior consent, as general partner of the Operating Partnership. Beginning on the first anniversary of the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions, common unitholders may tender their units for redemption by the Operating Partnership in exchange for cash equal to the market price of shares of the Company’s common stock at the time of redemption or, at the Company’s option and sole discretion, for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. Accordingly, the Company presents the common units of the Operating Partnership held by the Predecessor’s prior investors as noncontrolling interests within equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

Dividends

On June 19, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.08 per share payable on July 11, 2013 to common shareholders and common unitholders of record on July 1, 2013. On July 11, 2013, the Company paid $1.5 million in dividends to common shareholders and $1.1 million to common unitholders. The $2.6 million dividend payable as of June 30, 2013 is presented within other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Net Income Per Share

The Company calculates net income per share based upon the weighted average shares outstanding during the period beginning May 13, 2013. Diluted net income per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. There were no potential dilutive shares outstanding during the three or six months ended June 30, 2013. As a result, basic and diluted outstanding shares were the same.

3. Segments

Segment information is prepared on the same basis that Armada Hoffler’s management reviews information for operational decision making purposes. Management evaluates the performance of each of Armada Hoffler’s properties individually and aggregates such properties into segments based on their economic characteristics and classes of tenants. Armada Hoffler operates in four business segments (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate and (iv) general contracting and real estate services. Armada Hoffler’s office properties provide office space for various types of businesses and professions. Armada Hoffler’s retail properties are a diverse mix of (i) retail shopping centers typically anchored by large, nationally recognized tenants, (ii) retail centers located in the Virginia Beach Town Center and (iii) single-tenant properties. Armada Hoffler’s multifamily residential properties provide rental housing in Virginia Beach, VA and Blacksburg, VA. Armada Hoffler’s general contracting and real estate services business develops and builds properties for its own account and also provides construction and development services to related parties and third-party clients.

Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) is the measure used by Armada Hoffler’s chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance. Net operating income is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, net operating income should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate net operating income in the same manner. Armada Hoffler considers net operating income to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of Armada Hoffler’s real estate and construction businesses.

Net operating income of Armada Hoffler’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows (in thousands):

The Company recognized a $1.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt representing $0.6 million of fees and $0.5 million of unamortized debt issuance costs.

As discussed in Note 1, upon completion of the IPO, the Operating Partnership borrowed $40.0 million under the revolving credit facility to fund a portion of the consideration payable in connection with the completion of the Formation Transactions, repay existing lines of credit and certain debt relating to the projects in the Company’s development pipeline and repay existing indebtedness relating to certain properties acquired in connection with the Formation Transactions. The Operating Partnership incurred approximately $1.8 million of costs in connection with the revolving credit facility.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments

Armada Hoffler may enter into interest rate derivatives to manage exposure to interest rate risks. Armada Hoffler does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and has not designated any of its derivatives as hedges for accounting purposes. As a result, changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized currently within other income in the consolidated and combined statements of operations.

Armada Hoffler’s derivatives comprised the following as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

7. Employee Benefit Plans

Armada Hoffler had a deferred compensation plan for certain key employees pursuant to which Armada Hoffler purchased whole life insurance policies. Armada Hoffler discontinued its deferred compensation plan in May 2013. As of December 31, 2012 Armada Hoffler’s deferred compensation liability and cash surrender value of life insurance policies were both $1.2 million.

The Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan provides for stock based awards in the form of options, restricted shares and other awards up to an aggregate of 700,000 shares over the ten year term of the plan.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company granted 168,642 shares of restricted stock to employees and non-employee directors at a grant date fair value of $11.50. The Company recognized $0.8 million of stock based compensation related to vested shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 using the accelerated attribution method. Unvested restricted share awards as of June 30, 2013 were 112,428 shares. As of June 30, 2013, the total compensation cost related to non-vested restricted share awards was $1.1 million, which we expect to recognize over the next 24 months.

 

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Inputs—observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3 Inputs—unobservable inputs

 

13


Table of Contents

Except as disclosed below, the carrying amounts of Armada Hoffler’s financial instruments approximate their fair value. Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs consist of interest rate swaps, an interest rate cap, the cash surrender value of life insurance and deferred compensation. Armada Hoffler measures the fair values of these assets and liabilities based on prices provided by independent market participants that are based on observable inputs using market-based valuation techniques.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The fair value of Armada Hoffler’s secured debt is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Discounted cash flow analysis based on Level 2 inputs is generally used to estimate the fair value of Armada Hoffler’s secured debt.

Considerable judgment is used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.

The carrying amounts and fair values of our financial instruments, all of which are based on Level 2 inputs, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):

9. Acquisition of Non-controlled Entities

As discussed in Note 1, the Company completed the IPO of shares of its common stock on May 13, 2013. Substantially concurrent with the completion of the IPO and in connection with the Formation Transactions, the Operating Partnership acquired 100% of the interests in the Non-controlled Entities of the Predecessor (Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing).

The acquisitions of the interests in Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing on May 13, 2013 were accounted for as purchases at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting. Total consideration in the form of cash and common units paid for the 50% interest in Bermuda Crossroads was approximately $3.2 million. Total consideration in the form of cash and common units paid for the 60.0% interest in Smith’s Landing was approximately $7.5 million.

The identified intangible assets for Bermuda Crossroads are primarily in-place leases. The in-place and below-market leases will be amortized over the weighted average lives of the remaining lease terms. The identified intangible assets for Smith’s Landing include $1.9 million assigned to a below-market ground lease and $0.5 million assigned to in-place leases, both of which will be amortized over the weighted average lives of the remaining lease terms. The fair value adjustment to the assumed secured debt of Bermuda Crossroads was a $0.2 million premium. The fair value adjustment to the assumed secured debt of Smith’s Landing was not significant.

Prior to the acquisition date, the Predecessor accounted for its 50% interest in Bermuda Crossroads and 40% interest in Smith’s Landing as equity-method investments. The acquisition-date fair values of the previous equity interests in Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing were approximately $3.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The Company recognized a gain of $9.5 million as a result of remeasuring the Predecessor’s prior equity interests in Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing held before the acquisitions.

The following table summarizes the consolidated and combined results of operations of Armada Hoffler, Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing on a pro forma basis, as if both Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing had been acquired as of January 1, 2012 (in thousands):

The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if these acquisitions had taken place on January 1, 2012. The pro forma financial information includes adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense for acquired property and intangible assets and liabilities, adjustments to rental revenue and rental expenses for above and below-market leases and adjustments to interest expense for fair value adjustments to assumed indebtedness.

Pro forma net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 includes the nonrecurring $9.5 million gain as a result of remeasuring the Predecessor’s prior equity interests in Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing held before the acquisitions.

Rental revenue and net income of both Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing for the period from the acquisition date to June 30, 2013 included in the consolidated and combined statements of income were approximately $0.8 million and $(0.2) million, respectively.

 

10. Discontinued Operations

Armada Hoffler presents held for sale properties as discontinued operations only when Armada Hoffler will not have any significant continuing involvement in the properties’ operations after their disposition and when the properties’ operations and cash flows (i) can be clearly distinguished and (ii) will be eliminated from Armada Hoffler’s ongoing operations upon disposition. Armada Hoffler presented the held for sale Studio 56 Retail residential condominium units as discontinued operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. Net sale proceeds during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Armada Hoffler sold the last Studio 56 Retail residential condominium unit during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Armada Hoffler currently has no plans to develop and sell residential condominium units.

Armada Hoffler provides general contracting and real estate services to certain related party entities that are not included in these consolidated and combined financial statements.

Revenue from construction contracts with related parties of Armada Hoffler was $14.2 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Fees from such contracts were $0.5 million and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Revenue from construction contracts with related parties of Armada Hoffler was $25.1 million and $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Fees from such contracts were $0.8 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

Armada Hoffler is from time to time involved in various disputes, lawsuits, warranty claims, environmental and other matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.

Armada Hoffler currently is a party to various legal proceedings, none of which management expects will have a material adverse effect on Armada Hoffler’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Armada Hoffler accrues a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is determined by management to be probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is determined by management to be probable and a range of loss can be reasonably estimated, Armada Hoffler accrues the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. Armada Hoffler does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.

Under Armada Hoffler’s leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify Armada Hoffler from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses imposed upon or asserted against it as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant.

 

13. Subsequent Events

As discussed in Note 5, the Company borrowed an additional $15.0 million under the revolving credit facility, defeased the One Columbus loan and closed on a $63.0 million construction loan to fund the Main Street development project in July 2013.

As discussed in Note 2, the Company paid $2.6 million of cash dividends to common shareholders and common unitholders on July 11, 2013.

Review Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc.

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (successor to the entities described in Note 1) as of June 30, 2013, and the related condensed consolidated and combined statements of income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the condensed consolidated and combined statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the condensed consolidated and combined statement of equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the combined balance sheet of the entities described in Note 1 as of December 31, 2012, and the related combined statements of income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those combined financial statements in our report dated March 25, 2013. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed combined balance sheet of the entities described in Note 1 as of December 31, 2012, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the combined balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Overview

We are a full-service real estate company with extensive experience developing, building, owning and managing high-quality, institutional-grade office, retail and multifamily properties in attractive markets in the Mid-Atlantic United States. As of June 30, 2013, our portfolio is comprised of seven office properties, 15 retail properties and two multifamily properties, which are located in various markets in Virginia and North Carolina. We are a Maryland corporation formed on October 12, 2012 to acquire the entities in which Daniel A. Hoffler and his affiliates, certain of our other officers, directors and their affiliates and other third parties owned a direct or indirect interest (the “Formation Transactions”), and we did not have any operating activity until the consummation of our initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the Formation Transactions on May 13, 2013. After the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions, our operations have been carried on through our Operating Partnership. Accordingly, we consolidate the assets, liabilities and results of operations of our Operating Partnership.

Our “Predecessor” is not a single legal entity, but rather a combination of real estate and construction entities that were under common control by our Executive Chairman, Daniel A. Hoffler. These entities include (i) controlling interests in entities that owned 22 office, retail and multifamily properties, (ii) non-controlling interests in entities that owned one retail and one multifamily property, which we refer to as Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing, respectively, (iii) the property development and asset management businesses of Armada Hoffler Holding Company, Inc. and (iv) the general commercial construction businesses of Armada Hoffler Construction Company and Armada Hoffler Construction Company of Virginia. We refer to our controlling interests in the 22 real estate properties, Armada Hoffler Holding Company, Inc., Armada Hoffler Construction Company and Armada Hoffler Construction Company of Virginia collectively as our Controlled Entities. We refer to the two entities that control Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing as our Non-controlled Entities.

Because the IPO and the Formation Transactions occurred on May 13, 2013, the results of operations and financial condition for the entities acquired by us in connection with the IPO and the Formation Transactions are included in our results of operations and financial condition beginning May 13, 2013. More specifically, our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 reflect those for our Predecessor together with our Non-controlled Entities, which we acquired pursuant to the Formation Transactions.

Executive Overview

We are pleased with the solid results produced by our portfolio during both the second quarter and the first half of the year and will continue to build on our current momentum as a newly public company. Our strategy is built on many years of success, growing through a disciplined approach to development and acquisitions, and producing a consistent track record of profitability. Amid improving market conditions we believe our stable portfolio and seasoned management team, combined with our strong capital base, position us to identify and execute on attractive long-term growth opportunities to expand our portfolio and produce growth in cash flows and valuation over time.

Our portfolio properties continued to provide consistent cash flow. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we executed seven new office leases or lease renewals totaling 33,771 square feet and 13 new retail leases or lease renewals totaling 46,382 square feet. Included in these 20 leases or lease renewals is one rooftop antenna lease. The properties in our development pipeline continue to move forward toward completion with delivery dates in line with the projections presented in our final prospectus dated May 7, 2013. We also continue to identify and pursue additional development projects. As of June 30, 2013, we had 17 construction contracts in place and we executed another five contracts between June 30, 2013 and the date of this filing.

Table of Contents

Segments

As of June 30, 2013, our business had four operating segments: office, retail, multifamily and general contracting and real estate services. The general contracting and real estate services segment of our business provides various real estate services, such as general contractor services, construction management, asset management and development services, to third-party property owners as well as to us for our own account. The operations of our general contracting and real estate services segment are conducted through taxable REIT subsidiaries.

Rental revenues in our office, retail and multifamily segments consist of scheduled rent charges, straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above-market and below-market lease intangibles acquired. We also derive revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse us for expenses paid by us such as utilities, janitorial, repairs and maintenance, security and alarm, parking lot and grounds, general and administrative, management fees, insurance and real estate taxes and other property revenues, including parking income, lease termination fees, late fees, storage rents and other miscellaneous property revenues. Our rental revenues are reduced by lease incentives on a straight-line basis over the applicable term of the lease. We discuss our office leases, retail leases, and multifamily leases in more detail below.

Office Segment Leases. Our office portfolio consisted of seven properties with a total of 954,458 rentable square feet as of June 30, 2013 as compared to our Predecessor’s office portfolio of seven properties with a total of 953,075 rentable square feet as of March 31, 2013. Small change in square footage over time is common and occurs because of revised space measurements upon lease execution and reconfiguration of space. Occupancy as of June 30, 2013 was 93.4% as compared to 93.9% as of March 31, 2013. Historically, we have leased office properties to tenants primarily on a full-service gross or a modified gross basis. We expect to continue these leasing structures in the future. A full-service gross or modified gross lease typically has a base year expense stop, whereby the tenant pays a stated amount of certain expenses as part of the rent payment, while future increases in property operating expenses (above the base year stop) are billed to the tenant based on such tenant’s proportionate square footage of the property. The increased property operating expenses billed are reflected as rental expenses and amounts recovered from tenants are reflected as rental revenues in the statements of operations.

2013. Historically, we have leased retail properties to tenants primarily on a triple-net lease basis, and we expect to continue to do so in the future. In a triple-net lease, the tenant is typically responsible for all property taxes, insurance and operating expenses. As such, the base rent payment does not include any operating expenses, but rather all such expenses, to the extent they are paid by us and reimbursable to us under the terms of the applicable leases, are billed to the tenant. The full amount of the expenses for this lease type, to the extent they are paid by us, are reflected in rental expenses, and the reimbursement is reflected in rental revenues in the statements of operations.

Multifamily Segment Leases. Our multifamily portfolio consisted of two apartment properties with a total of 626 multifamily apartment units as of June 30, 2013 as compared to our Predecessor’s multifamily portfolio of one apartment property with a total of 342 multifamily apartment units as of March 31, 2013. The change in the number of properties and number of multifamily apartment units is due to the acquisition of Smith’s Landing pursuant to the Formation Transactions previously discussed. Occupancy as of June 30, 2013 was 91.2% as compared to 93.3% as of March 31, 2013. Our multifamily leases generally have terms ranging from 7 to 15 months, with a majority having 12 month terms. Tenants typically pay a monthly base rental amount per apartment unit. At both of the multifamily properties in our portfolio, tenants can opt to pay additional monthly amounts for services such as phone, cable, internet, storage units, pet fees and the rental of furniture and household goods. Phone, cable and internet services are only available to tenants through us and cannot be obtained directly from third-party service providers.

A majority of the general contracting portion of our general contracting and real estate services segment revenue has historically been earned from negotiated third-party general contracting contracts rather than competitively bid contracts. The services provided under negotiated contracts typically are more expansive than the construction services provided under competitively bid contracts and include such additional services as pre-construction support, architect management and value engineering. Our ability to perform these additional services is derived from the knowledge and experience our general contracting group gains from developing properties for our own account and the group’s ability to leverage this knowledge and expertise for our third party clients.

While our general contracting and real estate services segment comprised approximately 62.1% and 59.9% of our total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, it comprised only 7.6% and 6.5% of our total segment profit for the same respective periods. Although the contract value of the third-party construction contracts we enter into, which we refer to as construction volume, as well as the annual general contracting and real estate services segment revenue from these contracts, are important metrics when discussing historical financial results and providing forward-looking financial guidance, these metrics do not provide a complete understanding of this business segment. In particular, we believe operating margin, defined as general contracting and real estate services segment net operating income divided by segment revenue, to be critical to an understanding of both the profitability and relative importance of the general contracting and real estate services segment. In addition, any discussion of construction volume or annual general contracting and real estate services segment revenues solely in relation to either total revenues or rental revenues generated from our operating property segments may overstate the impact or relative importance of the general contracting and real estate services segment to the overall financial condition and prospects of our company. As a result, we believe general contracting and real estate services operating profit and operating margin are better metrics than construction volume or segment revenue to evaluate this segment’s impact on our overall business.

The real estate services portion of our general contracting and real estate services segment provides asset management services to related party assets as well as to our own properties. In addition, our asset services also include property management and leasing services for some of our properties. Fees charged under our asset management contracts are generally at a market rate, but such fees may vary substantially based on the property type, location and level of service. We recognize asset management and development services revenue when earned, generally as we provide such services. We do not currently expect asset management fee revenue to contribute significantly to our results of operations going forward as we believe that the most valuable use of our asset management team’s resources is for the asset management of the properties in our own portfolio.

General Contracting and Real Estate Services Segment

General Contracting Activities. Our construction company was engaged in 17 construction contracts as of June 30, 2013. Of these 17 construction contracts, 13 were with third-party clients and four were with related-party clients. The 17 contracts have an estimated contract value of approximately $117.3 million with approximately $59.1 million of work in place and a balance to complete of approximately $58.2 million as of June 30, 2013.

Of the two largest third-party contracts, one is for the City of Suffolk Municipal Center, which has a total contract value of approximately $24.0 million. This contract had work in place as of June 30, 2013 of approximately $3.5 million and a balance to complete of approximately $20.5 million with an estimated completion date of August 2014. The City of Suffolk Municipal Center is a two-story, design-build project that will consist of a 911 emergency call center, city council chambers, large public lobbies and office space for various departments within the municipal government. The other contract is a third-party contract for the Biomedical Research Laboratory at Hampton University, which has a total contract value of approximately $10.3 million. This contract had work in place of approximately $8.9 million and a balance to complete of approximately $1.4 million as of June 30, 2013 with an estimated completion date of August 2013.

The Apprentice School complex and the Main Street Garage are two notable related party contracts. The Apprentice School complex in Newport News, Virginia consists of three components – the Apprentice School Apartments, Apprentice School Garage and the Apprentice School. We have entered into a contribution agreement to acquire the Apprentice School Apartments from a related party. All three components of the Apprentice School project are being built on the same site. The Apprentice School is a state of the art educational facility and will feature eight computer labs, seven standard classrooms, an auditorium-style classroom, a physics lab and a gymnasium. The Apprentice School Garage is a four-story garage that will be operated by the Industrial Development Authority of the City of Newport News, Virginia. These three contracts have a total combined contract value of approximately $51.7 million, a combined work in place of approximately $37.2 million and a balance to complete of approximately $14.5 million as of June 30, 2013. The Apprentice School Apartments will be completed in phases, beginning in August 2013. The Apprentice School Garage will be completed in August 2013 as well. The Apprentice School building will be completed in November 2013. The 950-space Main Street Garage in the Virginia Beach Town Center is being developed by a related party for eventual sale to the Development Authority of the City of Virginia Beach. The Main Street Garage has a contract value of $17.7 million with work in place of $5.6 million as of June 30, 2013. The Main Street Garage is part of the same complex as our Main Street Office Tower and Main Street Apartments development projects.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we executed a contract to construct a Harris Teeter retail property in Norfolk, Virginia. The contract value is $4.2 million with $0.6 million of work in place as of June 30, 2013

At June 30, 2013, we had additional construction contracts in various stages of negotiations with third parties, which we refer to as our construction pipeline. We cannot assure you that any or all of these contracts will be executed, or that once executed we will commence or complete construction on any or all of the projects. We currently estimate that the aggregate contract value of these contracts under negotiation will be approximately $200.0 million, but the actual value of the construction contracts we enter into may be significantly less than this amount. Our construction pipeline includes a $24.4 million, 206-room Hyatt Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland. The contract negotiations are complete, and we believe contract execution is imminent.

Third Party Asset Management Activities: As of June 30, 2013, we did not provide asset management or property management services to any third parties.

Related Party Asset Management Activities. As of June 30, 2013, we served as asset manager for all of the properties in our portfolio. In addition, we provided property management services, or assisted in the property management of, eight of the properties in our portfolio and were the leasing representative for, or assisted in the leasing of, four of the properties in our portfolio. Following completion of the IPO and related Formation Transactions, our asset management team serves as asset manager for six properties and ten vacant parcels of land owned by related parties and receives asset management fees for such activities. The total expected asset management fee income from these properties is less than $100,000 annually.

(4) No lease agreement has been signed as of the date of this filing.
(5) We have a contract to sell Wal-Mart a pad-ready site adjacent to Greentree Shopping Center.

All projects in our pipeline continue to move toward completion. We have executed the lease with Harris Teeter for Sandbridge Commons and expect to break ground this fall. The conditional use permit for WaWa at Greentree Shopping Center has been approved. All permits have been received on the Main Street Apartments and Main Street Office Building and construction continues on schedule for those projects. Jackson Street Apartments has commenced construction.

In November 2012, we were selected by Johns Hopkins University, after an extensive competitive selection process, to join with the University in the redevelopment of a 1.12 acre property adjacent to the University’s Homewood campus in Baltimore, Maryland. The project is expected to include market-rate student housing, a hotel, retail space, restaurants and parking. The goal of the completed project will be to complement the Homewood campus and nearby Charles Village neighborhood and provide a catalyst for future development in the area. The Johns Hopkins project is moving through the conceptual and programming phases with the intent to finalize a program and proceed into full design by September 2013.

The commencement of construction on the projects identified in the previous table for which construction has not yet begun, as well as for the John Hopkins project, are subject to, among other factors, regulatory approvals, the acquisition of financing and suitable market conditions.

Property Under Contract. In addition to the properties in our development pipeline, we have entered into a contribution agreement to acquire the Apprentice School Apartments project, which is currently under construction, from affiliates of our Predecessor, including Mr. Hoffler and Messrs. Haddad and Kirk, our chief executive officer and vice chairman, and certain of our officers. The Apprentice School Apartments are expected to have 197 apartment units and approximately 28,000 square feet of retail space when completed and are located in Newport News, Virginia adjacent to the Newport News Apprentice School of Shipbuilding, a state-of-the-art educational facility that we are building for a related-party construction client. Under the terms of the development agreement with the Development Authority of the City of Newport News, ownership of the Apprentice School Apartments cannot be transferred to us until certain other aspects of the overall development are completed, which we currently expect to occur in November 2013. Pursuant to the contribution agreement, we expect to acquire the Apprentice School Apartments project when certain conditions,

including the completion of the project’s overall construction, including the Apprentice School and Apprentice School Garage, have been met. We expect to acquire the Apprentice School Apartments for approximately $31.9 million, which will be comprised of approximately $8.0 million payable in common units of our Operating Partnership, repayment of a $3.0 million mezzanine loan, which affiliates of our Predecessor borrowed to fund the equity portion of the project, and the assumption of an approximately $20.9 million mortgage loan, which has a 30-year term and 5.66% interest rate.

Revenues

Total Revenues. Total revenues consist of property rental revenues and general contracting and real estate services revenues. Total revenues increased approximately $11.5 million, or 44.4%, to approximately $37.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $26.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Total revenues increased approximately $14.9 million, or 27.5%, to approximately $68.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $54.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as shown below (dollars in thousands):

Rental Revenues. Rental revenues include minimum base rent, adjustments to recognize base rents on a straight-line basis, cost reimbursements, percentage rents and other rents. Rental revenues increased approximately $0.6 million, or 4.6%, to approximately $14.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Rental revenues increased approximately $0.6 million, or 2.3%, to approximately $27.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The decrease in office rental revenues for both the three-month and six-month comparisons were primarily due to certain tenants vacating upon expiration of their leases at Armada Hoffler Tower and One Columbus, the effect of which was partially offset by new leases at One Columbus and Two Columbus. The increase in retail rental revenues for both the three-month and six-month comparison were primarily due to the completed development and concurrent stabilization of Tyre Neck Harris Teeter in May 2012, the acquisition of Bermuda Crossroads, increased collections from cash basis tenants, and new leases signed at Broad Creek Shopping Center. These increases were partially offset by certain tenants vacating prior to their lease expirations at Hanbury Village during the third and fourth quarters of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013 and the non-recognition of straight-line rental revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 for tenants from which we determined collection was not reasonably assured. Based on our evaluation of tenant credit risk, we recognized rental revenue on a cash basis for these retail tenants during the three and six months ended ended June 30, 2013. Multifamily rental revenues increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 due to the acquisition of Smith’s Landing.

Office Same Store Analysis

The following table shows information for our same store office portfolio, which consists of properties that were owned throughout both periods presented, except for properties that were in lease-up, as noted below. We generally consider a property to be in lease-up until the earlier of (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy. Office same store revenues, expenses and profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

There were no excluded assets in the office same store sale comparison data sets. Therefore, the explanations for the decrease in same store office rental revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 mirror those previously discussed for the office segment. The decreases in same store retail rental revenues for both of these time period comparisons were attributable to certain tenants vacating prior to their lease expirations at Hanbury Village during the third and fourth quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013 and the non-recognition of straight-line rental revenue during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 for tenants from which we determined collection was not reasonably assured. Based on our evaluation of tenant credit risk, we recognized rental revenue on a cash basis for these retail tenants during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013. The increase in same store multifamily rental income for both the three and six month comparisons was due to increased occupancy at The Cosmopolitan as well as increased collections from cash basis ground floor retail tenants.

General Contracting and Real Estate Services Revenues. General contracting and real estate services revenues increased approximately $10.9 million, or 88.1%, to approximately $23.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was due to higher construction volume, more construction projects coming on line and more work being put in place during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012.

General contracting and real estate services revenues increased approximately $14.2 million, or 52.6%, to approximately $41.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was due to higher construction volume, more construction projects coming on line and more work being put in place during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Expenses

Total Expenses. Total expenses consist of rental expense, real estate taxes, general contractor expenses, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. Total expenses increased approximately $14.7 million, or 74.2%, to approximately $34.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $19.8 million for the three months

Rental expenses include the following general categories: utilities, janitorial, repairs and maintenance, security and alarm, parking lot and grounds, general and administrative, management fees, and insurance.

The increase in office rental expenses for both the three and six-month comparisons was primarily due to increased utility expenses, as the geographic areas in which our properties are located experienced milder winter conditions and higher temperatures during the six months ended June 30, 2012 than the six months ended June 30, 2013, non-recurring repairs and maintenance at Armada Hoffler Tower, and occupancy related expenses at One Columbus and Two Columbus. These increases were partially offset by lower expenses at Richmond Tower.

The increase in retail rental expenses for both the three and six-month comparisons was primarily due to higher bad debt expense associated with certain tenants, the completed development and concurrent stabilization of Tyre Neck Harris Teeter in May 2012 and the acquisition of Bermuda Crossroads.

The increase in multifamily rental expenses for both the three and six-month comparisons was primarily due to increased utility expenses associated with the same weather-related reasons experienced in the office segment, insurance recoveries recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the acquisition of Smith’s Landing.

Real Estate Tax Expenses. Real estate tax expenses were relatively unchanged for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The slight increase in retail real estate tax expenses for both the three and six-month comparisons is attributable to the acquisition of Bermuda Crossroads and the completed development and concurrent stabilization of Tyre Neck Harris Teeter.

General Contracting and Real Estate Expenses. General contracting and real estate services expenses increased approximately $11.0 million, or 95.7%, to approximately $22.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The general contracting portion of general contracting and real estate services expenses is closely correlated to general contracting volume and this increase is due to the increase in construction volume for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was a result of more construction projects coming on line and more work being put in place during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months during the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

General contracting and real estate services expenses increased approximately $14.5 million, or 56.8%, to approximately $40.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $25.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The general contracting portion of general contracting and real estate services expenses is closely correlated to general contracting volume and this increase is due to the increase in construction volume for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was a result of more construction projects coming on line and more work being put in place during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.9 million, or 199.5%, to approximately $2.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.8 million, or 99.9%, to approximately $3.6 million during the six months ended June 30 2013, compared to approximately $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was due to non-cash stock compensation to employees of approximately $0.8 million and increased expenses relating to operating as a public company beginning May 13, 2013.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $0.8 million, or 24.4%, to approximately $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $0.6 million, or 9.1%, to approximately $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was attributable to depreciation and amortization associated with the consolidation of Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing on May 13, 2013.

Impairment Charges. We recognized impairment charges of $0.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 resulting from two retail tenants that vacated prior to their lease expiration. The impairment charge consisted of unamortized deferred leasing costs and lease incentives related to these two tenants.

Operating Income. Operating income decreased approximately $3.2 million, or 51.9%, to approximately $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to approximately $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as a result of

the revenue and expense factors previously discussed. Operating income decreased approximately $3.4 million, or 28.6%, to approximately $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to approximately $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as a result of the revenue and expense factors previously discussed.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased approximately $0.9 million, or 22.0%, to approximately $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with approximately $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease was primarily the result of paying down debt by approximately $150.0 million pursuant to the Formation Transactions.

Interest expense decreased approximately $1.1 million, or 13.7%, to approximately $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with approximately $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease was primarily the result of paying down debt by approximately $150.0 million pursuant to the Formation Transactions.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. Of the $150.0 million of debt that we repaid pursuant to the Formation Transactions, we accounted for approximately $147.3 million as extinguishments and recognized a loss of $1.1 million. The loss on extinguishment of debt consisted of $0.5 million of unamortized deferred financing costs and $0.6 million of defeasance expenses.

Gain on Acquisitions. The acquisitions of Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing were accounted for as purchases at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP. As a result, we recognized a gain upon acquisition of approximately $9.5 million representing the difference between the fair value and carrying value of our Predecessor’s prior equity interests in Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing held before the acquisitions.

Other Income. Other income was relatively unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. Other income increased approximately $0.1 million, or 16.8%, to approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to increased equity method income from Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing.

Net Income

Net Income. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased approximately $6.3 million, or 298.3%, to approximately $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Similarly, net income increased approximately $6.3 million, or 158.8%, to approximately $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to approximately $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. These increases were primarily attributable to the gain on the acquisitions of Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing as well as the increase in net operating income from these two properties beginning May 13, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

On May 13, 2013, we completed the IPO and the net proceeds from the IPO to us after deducting the underwriting discount were approximately $203.2 million. Concurrently with the IPO, we closed on a $100.0 million secured credit facility, which contains an accordion feature that will allow us to increase the borrowing capacity under the facility up to $250.0 million, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions. Upon the completion of the IPO, we borrowed $40.0 million from the secured credit facility to fund a portion of the cash consideration payable in connection with the completion of the Formation Transactions, repay existing lines of credit, repay certain debt relating to the projects in our development pipeline and pay off additional debt. On June 10, 2013, we repaid $15.0 million on the secured credit facility from proceeds of the exercise of the IPO overallotment option. We intend to use the credit facility for, among other things, general corporate purposes, including completion of the projects in our development pipeline, selective acquisitions and development and redevelopment of properties, working capital and the payment of capital expenses.

Table of Contents

We paid down approximately $146.6 million of secured debt and $3.3 million of other debt pursuant to the IPO and Formation Transactions and by doing so, unencumbered nine properties. Of these nine unencumbered properties, four serve as the borrowing base for the credit facility; the other five are available to add to the borrowing base of the credit facility should we choose to increase the borrowing capacity under the accordion feature. The following table sets forth our unencumbered properties as of June 30, 2013 and other debt reduction measures taken subsequent to the IPO (dollars in thousands):

(1) Borrowing base collateral for the credit facility.

On July 17, 2013, we closed on the full defeasance of the One Columbus loan. By unencumbering this property, we have at the time of this filing, six properties available to add to the borrowing base of the secured credit facility. The outstanding principal balance of the loan at the time of the defeasance was $13.9 million and the cost of the defeasance was $1.0 million. Concurrent with this transaction, we borrowed $15.0 million under the credit facility and, thus, as of the date of this filling we have $40.0 million outstanding on our credit facility.

Short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of general contractor expenses, operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, capital expenditures, funding of development projects and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, the net proceeds of the IPO and, if necessary, borrowings available under our credit facility.

Our properties require periodic investments of capital for tenant-related capital expenditures and for general capital improvements. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, our weighted average tenant improvement and leasing commissions were $19.16 per square foot of leased office space and $9.34 per square foot leased retail space. As of June 30, 2013, we had commitments under leases in effect for approximately $4.2 million of tenant improvements and leasing commissions excluding the tenant improvements and leasing commissions for leases or lease renewals executed during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements and capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property development and acquisitions and capital improvements using our credit facility pending long-term financing.

On July 3, 2013 we paid off the loan secured by the Main Street Land and on July 30, 2013 we closed on a $63.0 million construction loan to fund the Main Street Office and Main Street Apartment projects. The loan matures on January 30, 2017 and is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.95%. The loan is a credit line deed of trust in which we will submit loan draws periodically to fund construction of the projects. As of the date of this filing we have not submitted any loan draws and there is no balance outstanding on this loan.

We are in the process of refinancing the loan secured by Smith’s Landing, which matures on January 31, 2014. On June 23, 2013, we received a commitment from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to refinance this loan. We expect to close this loan during the third quarter of 2013.

We currently are in compliance with all debt covenants on our outstanding indebtedness.

Consolidated Indebtedness

We used net proceeds from the IPO and borrowing from the credit facility to repay approximately $150.0 million of indebtedness. As of the June 30, 3013, we had approximately $219.2 million of consolidated long-term secured debt (exclusive of approximately $25.0 million outstanding under our credit facility), of which approximately $90.6 million, or approximately 37.1%, is variable rate debt.

Credit Facility

On May 13, 2013, we closed on a $100.0 million senior secured credit facility that includes an accordion feature that will allow us to increase the borrowing capacity under the facility up to $250.0 million. As of June 30, 2013, there was approximately $25.0 million outstanding under this credit facility. On July 16, 2013, the amount outstanding was increased by $15.0 million to $40.0 million in order to fund the full defeasance of the One Columbus loan. We intend to use the credit facility for, among other things, general corporate purposes, including completion of the projects in our development pipeline, selective acquisitions and development and redevelopment of properties, working capital and the payment of capital expenses.

Certain of our subsidiaries guaranteed the obligations under the credit facility and the Armada Hoffler Tower, Richmond Tower, Virginia Natural Gas and Sentara Williamsburg properties serve as the borrowing base for the credit facility obligations.

The credit facility matures on May 13, 2016 and includes an optional one-year extension (assuming our compliance with applicable covenants and conditions and the payment of a fee equal to 0.25% of the then applicable maximum amount of the credit facility).

The credit facility bears interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either (i) the Eurodollar rate (at our option either one, two, three or six month Eurodollar rate) plus a spread ranging from 1.60% to 2.20% based on our total leverage ratio value ranging from less than 40% to more than 55% or (ii) a base rate plus a spread ranging from 0.60% to 1.20% based on a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value ranging from less than 40% to more than 55%, where the base rate will fluctuate each day and will equal the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% and (iii) the one month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%. As of the date of this filing, the interest rate on the credit facility is LIBOR plus 1.75%.

In addition to interest owed under the credit facility, we are obligated to pay an annual fee based on the average unused portion of the credit facility. This fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is 0.25% of the amount of the unused portion of the credit facility if amounts borrowed are greater than 50% of the credit facility and 0.30% of the unused portion of the credit facility if amounts borrowed are less than 50% of the credit facility.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was due to increased cash inflows from property assets and liabilities offset by increased cash outflows for construction activities.

Net cash used for investing activities was approximately $(14.3) million and $(1.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The approximate $13.1 million change in net cash used for investing activities resulted principally from increased real estate development during the six months ended June 30, 2013. In January 2013, we began construction of the Main Street Office Tower and Main Street Apartments, which we expect to place into service in July 2014.

Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities was $12.8 million and $(11.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The approximate $24.1 million change in net cash provided by financing activities resulted from cash proceeds from our initial public offering of common stock and borrowings under our revolving credit facility offset by repayments of debt.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We calculate Funds From Operations (“FFO”) in accordance with the standards established by NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it believes that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.

However, because FFO 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 effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. 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 funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. FFO also should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP equivalent (in thousands):

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Predecessor’s historical combined financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon current available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

We believe the following accounting policies and estimates are the most critical to understanding our reported financial results as their effect on our financial condition and results of operations is material.

Revenue Recognition

Rental Revenues

We lease our properties under operating leases and recognize base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We also recognize revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse us for expenses paid by us such as utilities, janitorial, repairs and maintenance, security and alarm, parking lot and grounds, general and administrative, management fees, insurance and real estate taxes, on an accrual basis. Our rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any lease incentives on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. We include a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at lease inception that the renewal is reasonably assured. We begin recognizing rental revenue when the tenant has the right to take possession of or controls the physical use of the property under lease. We maintain control of the physical use of the property under lease if we serve as the general contractor for the tenant. Rental revenue is recognized subject to management’s evaluation of tenant credit risk.

Table of Contents

General Contracting and Real Estate Services Revenues

We recognize revenue on construction contracts using the percentage-of-completion method. Using this method, we recognize revenue and an estimated profit as construction contract costs are incurred based on the proportion of incurred costs to total estimated costs under the contract. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized immediately in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which they are determined. We include profit incentives in revenues when their realization is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. General contracting and real estate services revenue is recognized subject to management’s evaluation of customer credit risk.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We are subject to tenant defaults and bankruptcies that could affect our collection of accounts receivable. We recognize a provision for losses on accounts receivable representing our best estimate of uncollectible amounts. Our evaluation of the collectability of accounts receivable and the adequacy of the allowance is based primarily upon evaluations of individual receivables, current economic conditions, historical experience and other relevant factors. As a matter of policy, we reserve all accounts receivable over 90 days outstanding. For any tenants with rents receivable over 90 days outstanding, we also reserve any related accrued straight-line rental revenue. We recognize additional reserves for more current amounts, as applicable, where we have determined that collectability is doubtful. The extended collection period for accrued straight-line rental revenue along with our evaluation of tenant credit risk may result in the non-recognition of all or a portion of straight-line rental revenue until the collection of such revenue is reasonably assured.

Real Estate Project Costs

We capitalize direct and certain indirect costs clearly associated with the development, construction, leasing or expansion of our real estate assets. Capitalized project costs include direct material, labor, subcontract costs, real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, ground rent, interest on borrowing obligations and salaries and related personnel costs.

We capitalize direct and indirect project costs associated with the initial construction of a property up to the time the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. We believe the completion of the building shell is the proper basis for determining substantial completion.

We also capitalize direct and indirect costs, including interest costs, on vacant space during extended lease-up periods after construction of the building shell has been completed if costs are being incurred to prepare the vacant space for its intended use. If costs and activities incurred to prepare the vacant space for its intended use cease, then cost capitalization is also discontinued until such activities are resumed. Once necessary work has been completed on a vacant space, project costs are no longer capitalized. In addition, all leasing commissions paid to third parties for new leases or lease renewals are capitalized.

We depreciate buildings on a straight-line basis over 39 years and tenant improvements over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the related lease.

Real Estate Impairment

We evaluate our real estate assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such an evaluation is necessary, we compare the carrying amount of any such real estate asset with the undiscounted expected future cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, its use and eventual disposition. Our estimate of the expected future cash flows attributable to a real estate asset is based upon, among other things, our estimates regarding future market conditions, rental rates, occupancy levels, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, tenant concessions and assumptions regarding the residual value of our properties. If the carrying amount of a real estate asset exceeds its associated undiscounted expected future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to reduce the carrying amount of the real estate asset to its fair value based on marketplace participant assumptions.

Adoption of New or Revised Accounting Standards

As an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, we can elect to adopt new or revised accounting standards as they are effective for private companies. However, we have elected to opt out of such extended transition period. Therefore, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards as they are effective for public companies. This election is irrevocable.

Table of Contents

Inflation

Substantially all of our office and retail leases provide for the recovery of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses. In addition, substantially all of the leases provide for annual rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be offset in part by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations previously described. In addition, our multifamily leases generally have lease terms ranging from 7 to 15 months with a majority having 12-month lease terms allowing negotiation of rental rates at term end which we believe reduces our exposure to the effects of inflation.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than the items disclosed under the heading “Consolidated Indebtedness” we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is daily LIBOR. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. On a limited basis, we also use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. We do not use these derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes. We have not designated any of our derivatives as hedges for accounting purposes.

At June 30, 2013, after giving effect to our interest rate swap derivatives, approximately $153.6 million, or 62.9%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and approximately $90.6 million, or 37.1%, had variable interest rates. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if interest rates increased by 1.0% our cash flow would decrease by approximately $0.9 million per year. At June 30, 2013, LIBOR was approximately 20 basis points. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if LIBOR was reduced to 0 basis points our cash flow would increase by approximately $0.2 million per year.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of June 30, 2013, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

No changes to our internal control over financial reporting were identified in connection with the evaluation referenced above that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any legal proceedings that we believe to be material or which, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations if determined adversely to us. We may be subject to on-going litigation relating to our portfolio and the properties comprising our portfolio, and we expect to otherwise be party from time to time to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of our registration statement on Form S-11 filed with the SEC on March 26, 2013, as amended.

 

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

On May 13, 2013, in connection with the Formation Transactions, we issued to the prior investors in our properties an aggregate of 32,223,070 common units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership (“Common Units”) with an aggregate value of approximately $370.6 million. The issuance of such units was effected in reliance upon exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D of the Securities Act. Pursuant to the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership, limited partners of our Operating Partnership will have the right, commencing one year from the date of issuance of such units, to require our Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their Common Units for cash equal to the then-current market value of an equal number of shares of our common stock, or, at our election, to exchange their common units for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments and the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock set forth in our charter.

On May 13, 2013, we closed the IPO, pursuant to which we sold 16,525,000 shares of our common stock to the public at a public offering price of $11.50 per share. On May 21, 2013, the underwriters of our initial public offering exercised their option in full to purchase an additional 2,478,750 shares of our common stock from us at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount. We raised approximately $218.5 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $192.2 million after deducting approximately $15.3 million in underwriting discounts and approximately $11.0 million in other expenses relating to the initial public offering.

All of the 19,003,750 shares were sold pursuant to (i) our registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-187513), that was declared effective by the SEC on May 7, 2013 and (ii) our immediately effective registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-188422) filed with the SEC on May 8, 2013 pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act. Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated acted as joint book-running managers for the offering and as representatives of the underwriters.

We contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to our Operating Partnership in exchange for Common Units, and our Operating Partnership used the net proceeds received from us as described below:

 

   

approximately $150.6 million to repay outstanding indebtedness, including exit fees, defeasance costs and assumption costs of approximately $0.6 million and

 

   

approximately $47.2 million as partial consideration for the equity interests in the entities comprising our Predecessor that we acquired from prior investors in connection with the Formation Transactions.

We intend to use the remainder of the proceeds from the IPO for general corporate purposes, including working capital, future acquisitions, transfer taxes and, potentially, paying distributions. This use of proceeds does not represent a material change from the use of proceeds described in the final prospectus we filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act on May 9, 2013.
