PART I

ITEM 1. - BUSINESS

Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation which has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code. We are a REIT that owns and operates primarily institutional-quality office properties in Hawaii. As of December 31, 2017, we owned three office properties, comprising 1.2 million rentable square feet, and were partners with third parties in joint ventures holding one office property and a sports club associated with that property in Phoenix, Arizona. Our ownership interest percentage in these joint ventures is 5.0%. As of December 31, 2017, our property portfolio included office buildings in Honolulu and Phoenix.

We were formed on March 19, 2008 via a merger, and related transactions, of The Shidler Group’s western U.S. office portfolio and joint venture operations into Arizona Land Income Corporation. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership, Pacific Office Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.

We are externally advised by Shidler Pacific Advisors, LLC (“Shidler Pacific Advisors”), an entity that is owned and controlled by Jay H. Shidler (“Mr. Shidler”), our Chairman of the Board. Lawrence J. Taff, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, also serves as President of Shidler Pacific Advisors. Shidler Pacific Advisors is responsible for the day-to-day operation and management of the Company, including management of our wholly-owned properties.

Regulation

Our properties are subject to various covenants, laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to common areas and fire and safety requirements. We believe that each of our properties has the necessary permits and approvals to operate its business.

Americans with Disabilities Act

Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA, to the extent that such properties are “public accommodations” as defined by the ADA. Under the ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an ongoing one, and continual assessment of the properties is required. Although we believe that our wholly-owned properties in the aggregate substantially comply with present requirements of the ADA, we have not conducted a comprehensive audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine compliance. If one or more of our properties is not in compliance with the ADA, then we would be required to incur additional costs to bring the property into compliance. Noncompliance could result in imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages and/or attorneys’ fees to private litigants, or both. Additional federal, state and local laws also may require us to modify properties or could restrict our ability to renovate properties. Complying with the ADA or other legislation at noncompliant properties could be very expensive.

Environmental Matters

Environmental laws regulate, and impose liability for, releases of hazardous or toxic substances into the environment. Under some of these laws, an owner or operator of real estate may be liable for costs related to soil or groundwater contamination on or migrating to or from its property. In addition, persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may be liable for the costs of cleaning up contamination at the disposal site. These laws often impose liability regardless of whether the person knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances that caused the contamination. The presence of, or contamination resulting from, any of these substances, or the failure to properly remediate them, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent our property or to borrow funds using the property as collateral. In addition, persons exposed to hazardous or toxic substances may sue for personal injury damages. For example, some laws impose liability for release of or exposure to materials containing asbestos, a substance known to

be present in a number of our buildings. In addition, some of our properties may have been affected by contamination from past operations or from off-site sources. As a result, we may be potentially liable for investigation and cleanup costs, penalties and damages under environmental laws.

Although our wholly-owned properties have been subjected to preliminary environmental assessments, known as Phase I assessments, by independent environmental consultants that identify conditions that could pose potential environmental liabilities, Phase I assessments are limited in scope, and may not include or identify all potential environmental liabilities or risks associated with the property. Unless required by applicable law or any of our lenders, we may decide not to further investigate, remedy or ameliorate the liabilities disclosed in the Phase I assessments. Further, these or other environmental studies may not identify all potential environmental liabilities or accurately assess whether we will incur material environmental liabilities in the future. If we do incur material environmental liabilities in the future, we may face significant remediation costs, and we may find it difficult to sell any affected properties.

Insurance

We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, business interruption and rental loss insurance covering all of our properties under blanket insurance policies. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice; however, the insurance coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover losses.

Our business operations in Honolulu and Phoenix are susceptible to, and could be significantly affected by, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, volcanoes, wind, floods, landslides, drought and fires. These adverse weather conditions and natural disasters could cause significant damage to the properties in our portfolio, the risk of which is enhanced by the concentration of our properties’ locations. Our insurance may not be adequate to cover business interruption or losses resulting from adverse weather or natural disasters. In addition, our insurance policies include customary deductibles and limitations on recovery. As a result, we may be required to incur significant costs in the event of adverse weather conditions and natural disasters. We may discontinue earthquake or any other insurance coverage on some or all of our properties in the future if the cost of premiums for any of these policies in our judgment exceeds the value of the coverage discounted for the risk of loss.

Furthermore, we do not carry insurance for certain losses, including, but not limited to, losses caused by war or by certain environmental conditions, such as mold or asbestos. In addition, if a loss or damages are suffered at one or more of our properties, the insurer may attempt to limit or void coverage by arguing that the loss resulted from facts or circumstances not covered by our policy. Furthermore, our title insurance policies may not insure for the current aggregate market value of our portfolio, and we do not intend to increase our title insurance coverage as the market value of our portfolio increases. As a result, we may not have sufficient coverage against all losses that we may experience, including from adverse title claims. If we experience a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, we could incur significant costs and lose the capital invested in the damaged or otherwise adversely affected properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties.

In addition, our properties may not be able to be rebuilt to their existing height, size or utility at their existing location under current land-use laws and policies. In the event that we experience a substantial or comprehensive loss of one of our properties, we may not be able to rebuild such property to its existing specifications or operate it in accordance with its current use, or we may be required to upgrade such property in connection with any rebuilding to meet current code requirements.

Competition

We compete with a number of developers, owners and operators of office real estate, many of which own properties similar to ours in the same markets in which our properties are located. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose existing or potential tenants and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge or to offer more substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options in order to retain tenants when our tenants’ leases expire or to entice new tenants to lease space in our properties. In that case, our financial condition,

results of operations, cash flow, market price of our Class A Common Stock and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends may be adversely affected.

Employment

We are externally advised by Shidler Pacific Advisors and have no employees of our own.

ITEM 1A. - RISK FACTORS

The following section sets forth material factors that may adversely affect our business and operations. This is not an exhaustive list, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. This discussion of risk factors includes many forward-looking statements. For cautions about relying on forward-looking statements, please refer to the section entitled “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Risks Related to our Business and Properties

Our business is capital intensive and our ability to maintain our operations depends on our cash flow from operations and our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms.

We have not consistently achieved positive cash flow from operations since our formation transactions were consummated in March 2008. We expect that our funds from operations, including existing cash on hand, will be insufficient to meet working capital requirements and to fund required capital expenditures and leasing costs through the first quarter of 2019. Accordingly, we expect that we may need to contribute existing properties to joint ventures with third parties or raise additional capital, either from debt or equity. We also intend to mitigate any capital project overages and continue to request the maximum amount of reimbursements from our reserves on a timely basis. We may also consider strategic alternatives, including a sale, merger, other business combination or recapitalization, of the Company.

In August 2016, we entered into (1) a new loan agreement, the proceeds of which were used to repay in full the existing mortgage loans that were scheduled to mature on various dates in 2016 and (2) a purchase and sale agreement to sell our Pan Am Building property, located in Honolulu, Hawaii. The completion of the sale transaction is expected to occur no later than August 13, 2018. See Note 8 for more discussion on the new loan agreement and Note 12 for more discussion on the contemplated sale of our Pan Am Building. These notes to our consolidated financial statements are contained in “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” in Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In September 2016, we issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $3.0 million to Shidler Equities, L.P. (“Shidler LP”), a Hawaii limited partnership controlled by Mr. Shidler, in consideration of a loan in that amount made by Shidler LP to the Operating Partnership. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements contained in “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” in Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more discussion on this promissory note.

In March 2017, we completed the sale of our Pacific Business News Building joint venture property to an unrelated third party. See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements contained in “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” in Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more discussion on the sale of our Pacific Business News Building joint venture property.

We cannot be certain that we will be able to raise additional capital, on acceptable terms or at all, or generate sufficient cash flows to continue operations. If we are unable to do so, our ability to operate our properties may suffer and our ability to operate the company will be impaired.

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated in an explanatory paragraph in its audit report for the year ended December 31, 2017 that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our expectation that projected funds from operations, together with current cash on hand, will be insufficient to meet working capital requirements and to fund required capital expenditures and leasing costs through the first quarter of 2019. Our financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

We have a substantial amount of debt outstanding, which may affect our ability to pay dividends, may expose us to interest rate fluctuation risk and may expose us to the risk of additional default under our debt obligations.

On August 11, 2016, our wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a term loan in the principal amount of $280.5 million (“Loan Agreement”), the proceeds of which were used to repay in full the existing mortgage loans that were scheduled to mature at various dates commencing August 1, 2016 through November 11, 2016 and to fund leasing and capital expenditure reserves. As of December 31, 2017, our total consolidated indebtedness (which includes our mortgage and other loans with a carrying value of $301.2 million and our unsecured promissory notes with a carrying value of $32.4 million) was $333.6 million. Our unconsolidated joint venture properties are also leveraged with an aggregate of $40.6 million in indebtedness as of December 31, 2017.

Payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave our property-owning entities with insufficient cash resources to operate our properties and/or pay distributions to us so that we can make distributions to stockholders. Furthermore, our obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by mortgages on the fee and leasehold (as applicable) interests in the Pan Am Building, Davies Pacific Center and Waterfront Plaza properties (representing all of our wholly-owned properties) as well as assignments of all leases, rents, contracts, revenues, permits and service agreements with respect to the properties and ownership interests in all equity interests and accounts of the Borrowers. Because the debt under the Loan Agreement is not property-specific, an event of default with respect to one property or Borrower could result in the foreclosure by the lender of all of our wholly-owned properties.

For tax purposes, a foreclosure of our properties would be treated as a sale of the properties for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgages on those properties. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgages exceeds our tax basis in the properties, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but we would not receive any cash proceeds.

Our substantial outstanding debt, and the limitations imposed on us by the Loan Agreement and our other outstanding debt, could have significant other adverse consequences, including the following:


•	our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments;


•	we may be unable to borrow additional funds as needed or on favorable terms, which could adversely affect our liquidity;


•	we may be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties, possibly on disadvantageous terms; and


•	we will be exposed to interest and future interest rate volatility with respect to indebtedness that is variable rate.

If any one of these events were to occur, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the value of our outstanding Senior Common Stock and Class A Common Stock and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to

pay dividends could be adversely affected. In addition, any foreclosure on our properties could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, which could adversely affect our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Code.

We may be unable to refinance, extend or repay our substantial indebtedness at maturity.

As of December 31, 2017, we had a fully drawn $25 million unsecured credit facility and promissory notes payable to certain current and former affiliates in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $32.4 million (together with accrued and unpaid interest of $23.0 million) scheduled to mature on December 31, 2019. In addition, our mortgage loans amounting to $301.2 million secured by each of our wholly-owned properties are scheduled to mature in 2019. We do not currently have any committed financing sources available to refinance our debt as it matures. If we are unable to repay, extend or refinance our existing mortgage debt, we may be forced to give back these assets to the relevant mortgage lenders.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance, extend or repay our substantial indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all. The ability to refinance our indebtedness may be negatively affected by reduced loan-to-value limits commonly being employed in current commercial lending markets and the appraised value of our properties at the time our indebtedness matures.

Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to pay dividends.

In connection with the Loan Agreement, we have obtained an interest rate cap, and subject to complying with the requirements for REIT qualification, we may obtain in the future one or more additional forms of interest rate protection-in the form of swap agreements, interest rate cap contracts or similar agreements-to hedge against the possible negative effects of interest rate fluctuations. However, we cannot assure you that any hedging will adequately relieve the adverse effects of interest rate increases or that counterparties under these agreements will honor their obligations thereunder. In addition, we may be subject to risks of default by hedging counterparties.

The REIT provisions of the Code may also limit our ability to hedge effectively. Under current law, any income that we generate from derivatives or other transactions intended to hedge our interest rate risks, or any income from foreign currencies or other hedges, will generally be treated as nonqualifying income for purposes of the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests unless specified requirements are met. As a result of these rules, we may have to limit our use of hedging techniques that might otherwise be advantageous, which could result in greater risks associated with interest rate or other changes that we would otherwise incur.

Our organizational documents have no limitation on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. As a result, we may become more highly leveraged in the future, which could adversely affect our financial condition.

Our organizational documents contain no limitations regarding the maximum level of debt that we may incur nor do they restrict the form of our debt (including recourse, non-recourse and cross-collateralized debt). Accordingly, we could, without stockholder approval, become more highly leveraged, which could result in an increase in our debt service, could materially adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and/or the distributions required to maintain our REIT qualification, and could harm our financial condition. Higher leverage will also increase the risk of default on our obligations.

All of our properties, including properties held in joint ventures, are located in Honolulu and Phoenix. We are dependent on the Honolulu and Phoenix office markets and economies, and are therefore susceptible to risks of events in those markets that could adversely affect our business, such as adverse market conditions, changes in local laws or regulations, and natural disasters.

Because all of our properties are concentrated in Honolulu and Phoenix, we are exposed to greater economic risks than if we owned a more geographically dispersed portfolio. All of our wholly-owned properties are located in Honolulu. We are susceptible to adverse developments in the Honolulu and Phoenix economic and regulatory environments (such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, increases in real estate and other taxes, costs of complying with governmental regulations or increased regulation and other factors) as well as natural disasters that occur

in these areas (such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires and other events). Any adverse developments in the economy or real estate markets in Honolulu or Phoenix, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the Honolulu or Phoenix regulatory or business environments, could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow, the value of our outstanding Senior Common Stock and Class A Common Stock and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to stockholders.

The illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties and harm our financial condition.

Real estate investments, especially office properties like the properties we currently own, are relatively illiquid and may become even more illiquid during periods of economic downturn. In particular, these risks could arise from weakness in or even the lack of an established market for a property, changes in the financial condition or prospects of prospective purchasers, changes in national or international economic conditions and changes in laws, regulations or fiscal policies of jurisdictions in which the property is located. As a result, we may not be able to sell a property or properties quickly or on favorable terms and realize our investment objectives, or otherwise promptly modify our portfolio, in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions when it otherwise may be prudent to do so. This inability to respond quickly to changes in the performance of our properties and sell an unprofitable property could adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations, thereby limiting our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Our financial condition could also be adversely affected if we were, for example, unable to sell one or more of our properties in order to meet our debt obligations upon maturity.

The Code imposes restrictions on a REIT’s ability to dispose of properties that are not applicable to other types of real estate companies. In particular, the tax laws applicable to REITs require that we hold our properties for investment, rather than primarily for sale in the ordinary course of business, which may cause us to forgo or defer sales of properties that otherwise would be in our best interest. Therefore, we may not be able to vary our portfolio in response to economic or other conditions promptly or on favorable terms, which may adversely affect our cash flows, financial condition and results of operations, the value of our outstanding Senior Common Stock and Class A Common Stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

In addition, our ability to dispose of some of our properties could be constrained by their tax attributes. Properties which we own for a significant period of time or which we acquire through tax deferred contribution transactions in exchange for units in our Operating Partnership may have low tax bases. If we dispose of these properties outright in taxable transactions, we may need to distribute a significant amount of the taxable gain to our stockholders under the requirements of the Code for REITs or pay federal income tax at regular corporate rates on the amount of any gain, which in turn would impact our cash flow and increase our leverage. To dispose of low basis or tax-protected properties efficiently, we may from time to time use like-kind exchanges, which qualify for non-recognition of taxable gain, but can be difficult to consummate and result in the property for which the disposed assets are exchanged inheriting their low tax bases and other tax attributes (including tax protection covenants).

Our operating performance is subject to risks associated with the real estate industry.

Real estate investments are subject to various risks and fluctuations and cycles in value and demand, many of which are beyond our control. Certain events may decrease cash available for dividends, as well as the value of our properties. These events include, but are not limited to:


•	adverse changes in economic and demographic conditions;


•	vacancies or our inability to rent space on favorable terms or at all;


•	adverse changes in financial conditions of buyers, sellers and tenants of properties;


•	inability to collect rent from tenants;


•	competition from other real estate investors with significant capital, including other real estate operating companies, publicly traded REITs and institutional investment funds;


•	reductions in the level of demand for office space, including trends such as telecommuting and flexible workplaces, and changes in the relative popularity of properties;


•	increases in the supply of office space;


•	declining real estate valuations and impairment charges;


•	fluctuations in interest rates, which could adversely affect our ability, or the ability of buyers and tenants of properties, to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all;


•	increases in expenses, including insurance costs, labor costs, energy prices, real estate assessments and other taxes and costs of compliance with laws, regulations and governmental policies, and our inability to pass on some or all of these increases to our tenants; and


•	changes in, and changes in enforcement of, laws, regulations and governmental policies, including, without limitation, health, safety, environmental, zoning and tax laws, governmental fiscal policies and the ADA.

In addition, periods of economic slowdown or recession, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a general decline in rents or an increased incidence of defaults under existing leases without a corresponding decrease in expenses. Costs associated with real estate investments, such as real estate taxes, ground lease payments, insurance, loan payments and maintenance, generally will not be reduced even if the vacancy rate at a property increases or rental rates decrease. If we cannot operate our properties so as to meet our financial expectations, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the value of our outstanding Senior Common Stock and Class A Common Stock and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that we can achieve our economic objectives.

We may be adversely affected by trends in the office real estate industry.

Some businesses are rapidly evolving to make employee telecommuting, flexible work schedules, open workplaces and teleconferencing increasingly common. These practices enable businesses to reduce their space requirements. A continuation of the movement towards these practices could over time erode the overall demand for office space and, in turn, place downward pressure on occupancy, rental rates and property valuations, each of which could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Our success depends on the ability of Shidler Pacific Advisors to operate our properties, and Shidler Pacific Advisors’ failure to operate our properties in a sufficient manner could have a material adverse effect on the value of our real estate investments and results of operations.

We are externally advised by Shidler Pacific Advisors. We depend on the ability of Shidler Pacific Advisors to operate our properties and manage our other investments in a manner sufficient to maintain or increase revenues and to generate sufficient revenues in excess of our operating and other expenses. Shidler Pacific Advisors is not required to dedicate any particular number of employees or employee hours to our business in order to fulfill its obligations under our Advisory Agreement with them. We are subject to the risk that Shidler Pacific Advisors can terminate the Advisory Agreement and that no suitable replacement may be found to manage us. We believe that our success depends to a significant extent upon the experience of Shidler Pacific Advisors’ executive officers, whose continued service is not guaranteed. If Shidler Pacific Advisors terminates its Advisory Agreement with us, we may not be able to execute our business plan and may suffer losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. The failure of Shidler Pacific Advisors to operate our properties and manage our other investments may adversely affect the underlying value of our real estate investments, the results of our operations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.

Our operating expenses may increase, causing our results of operations to be adversely affected.

Under our Advisory Agreement with Shidler Pacific Advisors, management-related services and costs such as salaries and wages, office rent, equipment costs, travel costs, insurance costs, telecommunications and supplies are the responsibility of Shidler Pacific Advisors, in exchange for corporate management fees that we pay to Shidler Pacific Advisors. Shidler Pacific Advisors has the right under our Advisory Agreement with it to renegotiate quarterly the amount of its corporate management fee, which may result in increased corporate management fees. Further, under the Advisory Agreement, we continue to be directly liable for certain direct costs, such as legal and accounting fees, that have been substantial in the past and are expected to be substantial in the future. Property management and related services for our wholly-owned properties, are also performed by Shidler Pacific Advisors for property management fees paid by us ranging from 2.5% to 3.0% of the rental cash receipts collected by the properties. There can be no assurance that such fees will not increase in the future since such property management and other related fees are required to be consistent with prevailing market rates for similar services provided on an arms-length basis in the area in which the subject property is located. Other factors that

may adversely affect our ability to control operating costs include the need to pay for property insurance and other operating costs, including real estate taxes, which could increase over time, the need periodically to repair, renovate and re-lease space, the cost of compliance with governmental regulation, including zoning and tax laws, the potential for liability under applicable laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing. If our operating costs increase as a result of any of the foregoing factors, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

Shidler Pacific Advisors’ corporate management fee is payable regardless of our performance, which may reduce its incentive to devote time and resources to our portfolio.

Shidler Pacific Advisors earns a corporate management fee of $0.18 million per quarter. As of December 31, 2017, we have accrued approximately $0.9 million of corporate management fees owed to Shidler Pacific Advisors. Shidler Pacific Advisors’ entitlement to substantial non-performance based compensation might reduce its incentive to devote its time and effort to seeking profitable opportunities for our portfolio. This in turn could hurt our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

We face intense competition, which may decrease, or prevent increases of, the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.

The actual rents we receive for the properties in our portfolio may be less than our asking rents, and we may experience lease roll down from time to time, which would negatively impact our ability to generate cash flow growth.

We may be unable to realize our asking rents across the properties in our portfolio because of:


•	competitive pricing pressure in our markets;


•	adverse conditions in the Honolulu or Phoenix real estate markets;


•	general economic downturn; and


•	a lesser desirability of our properties compared to other properties in our markets.

In addition, the degree of discrepancy between our asking rents and the actual rents we are able to obtain may vary both from property to property and among different leased spaces within a single property. If we are unable to achieve our asking rents across our portfolio, then our ability to generate cash flow growth will be negatively impacted. In addition, depending on asking rental rates at any given time as compared to expiring leases in our portfolio, rental rates for expiring leases may be higher than starting rental rates for new leases.

The expense of owning and operating a property is not necessarily reduced when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in income from the property. As a result, if revenues decline, we may not be able to reduce our expenses accordingly. If a property is mortgaged and we are unable to meet the mortgage payments, the lender could foreclose on the mortgage and take possession of the property, resulting in a further reduction in net income.

Leases representing 18.4% of the rentable square feet of our total portfolio are scheduled to expire in 2018. We may be unable to renew leases or lease vacant space at favorable rates or at all, which would negatively impact our ability to generate cash flow.

As of December 31, 2017, leases representing 18.4% of the 1.2 million rentable square feet of our wholly-owned portfolio are scheduled to expire in 2018, and an additional 14.5% of the square footage of our total portfolio was available for lease. These leases may not be renewed, or may be re-leased at rental rates equal to or below existing rental rates. In

addition, some of our leases include early termination provisions that permit the lessee to terminate all or a portion of its lease with us after a specified date or upon the occurrence of certain events with little or no liability to us. Substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options may be offered to attract new tenants or retain existing tenants. Portions of our properties may remain vacant for extended periods of time. In addition, some existing leases currently provide tenants with options to renew the terms of their leases at rates that are less than the current market rate or to terminate their leases prior to the expiration date thereof. If we are unable to obtain rental rates that are on average comparable to our asking rents across our portfolio, then our ability to generate cash flow growth will be negatively impacted.

We may be required to make significant capital expenditures, in addition to our requirement to fund certain capital expenditures pursuant to our Loan Agreement, to improve our properties in order to retain and attract tenants. If we are unable to do so, this could cause a decline in operating revenues and a reduction in cash available for debt service and distributions to stockholders.

We expect that, upon expiration of leases at our properties, we may be required to make rent or other concessions to tenants, accommodate requests for renovations, build-to-suit remodeling and other improvements or provide additional services to our tenants. As a result, we may have to pay for significant leasing costs or tenant improvements in order to retain tenants whose leases expire and to attract new tenants in sufficient numbers. Additionally, we may need to raise capital to make such expenditures. If we are unable to do so or capital is otherwise unavailable, we may be unable to make the required expenditures. This could result in non-renewals by tenants upon expiration of their leases, which would result in declines in revenues from operations and reduce cash available for debt service and distributions to stockholders.

We depend on tenants for our revenue, and accordingly, lease terminations and/or tenant defaults, particularly by one of our larger tenants, could adversely affect the income produced by our properties, which may harm our operating performance.

The success of our investments materially depends on the financial stability of our tenants, any of whom may experience a change in their business at any time. As a result, our tenants may delay lease commencements, decline to extend or renew their leases upon expiration, fail to make rental payments when due or declare bankruptcy. Any of these actions could result in the termination of the tenants’ leases, expiration of existing leases without renewal and the loss of rental income attributable to the terminated or expired leases. In the event of a tenant default or bankruptcy, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-letting our property. It is unlikely that a bankrupt tenant will pay, in full, amounts owed to us under a lease. If significant leases are terminated or defaulted upon, we may be unable to lease the property for the rent previously received or sell the property without incurring a loss. In addition, significant expenditures, such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and insurance and maintenance costs, are generally fixed and do not decrease when revenues at the related property decrease, so tenant defaults or departures could decrease our cash from operations, liquidity and net income.

Our joint venture investments could be adversely affected by a lack of sole decision-making authority and our reliance on joint venture partners’ financial condition and liquidity.

We own properties through “joint venture” investments in which we co-invest with another investor. In the future, we may acquire office properties through joint ventures and/or sell to institutions partial ownership of properties that we wholly own. Joint venture investments involve certain risks, including:


•	joint venture partners may control or share certain approval rights over major decisions, such as decisions related to the development, financing, leasing, management and other aspects of the project, which may prevent us from taking actions that are opposed by our joint venture partners;


•	joint venture partners may fail to fund their share of any required capital commitments;


•	joint venture partners might have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals that would affect our ability to operate the property;


•	joint venture partners may have the power to act contrary to our instructions and policies, including our current policy with respect to maintaining our REIT qualification;


•	joint venture agreements often restrict the transfer of a member’s or joint venture partner’s interest, provide for a buyout of a joint venture partner’s interest in certain instances or may otherwise restrict our ability to sell the interest when we desire or on advantageous terms;


•	our relationships with our joint venture partners are contractual in nature and may be terminated or dissolved under the terms of the applicable joint venture agreements and, in such event, we may not continue to own or operate the interests or assets underlying such relationship or may need to purchase such interests or assets at a premium to the market price to continue ownership;


•	disputes between us and our joint venture partners may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and divert attention from other elements of our business and result in subjecting the properties owned by the applicable joint venture to additional risk; and


•	we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our joint venture partners.

The occurrence of one or more of the events described above could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and our ability to pay dividends.

Global market and economic conditions may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition and those of our tenants, as well as the pricing of real estate assets.

In the United States, market and economic conditions continue to be challenging with stricter regulations and modest growth. While recent economic data continues to reflect moderate economic growth in the United States, the cost and availability of credit may continue to be adversely affected by governmental budget and global economic factors. Concern about continued stability of the economy and credit markets generally, and the strength of counterparties specifically, has led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce and, in some cases, cease to provide funding to borrowers. Volatility in the U.S. and international capital markets and concern over a return to recessionary conditions in global economies may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition and the liquidity and financial condition of our tenants. If these market conditions continue, they may limit our ability and the ability of our tenants to timely refinance maturing liabilities and access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs. Furthermore, any turmoil in the capital or credit markets could adversely impact the overall amount of capital and debt financing available to invest in real estate, which may result in decreases in price or value of real estate assets.

Adverse market and economic conditions could cause us to recognize additional impairment charges.

We review our real estate assets for impairment indicators, such as a decline in a property’s occupancy or its rental rates, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. If we determine that indicators of impairment are present, we review the properties affected by these indicators to determine whether an impairment charge is required. We use considerable judgment in making determinations about impairments, from analyzing whether there are indicators of impairment to the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the investment. Accordingly, our subjective estimates and evaluations may not be accurate, and such estimates and evaluations are subject to change or revision.

There may be significant uncertainty in the valuation, or in the stability of the cash flows, discount rates and other factors related to real estate assets due to adverse market and economic conditions and market volatility that could result in a substantial decrease in the value of such assets. We may be required to recognize asset and goodwill impairment charges in the future, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We do not expect to operate as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. However, the analysis relating to whether a company qualifies as an investment company can involve technical and complex rules and regulations. If we own assets that qualify as “investment securities” as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act and the value of such assets exceeds 40% of the value of our total assets, we could be deemed to be an investment company and be required to register under the Investment Company Act. Registered investment companies are subject to a variety of substantial requirements that could significantly impact our operations. The costs and expenses we would incur to register and operate as an investment company, as well as the limitations placed

on our operations, could have a material adverse impact on our operations and your investment return. In order to operate in a manner to avoid being required to register as an investment company, we may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell or we may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish to retain.

Potential losses may not be covered by insurance and we could incur significant costs and lose our equity in the damaged properties.

We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, business interruption and rental loss insurance covering all of our properties under blanket insurance policies. The insurance coverage contains policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties and business activities. However, we do not carry insurance for certain losses, including, but not limited to, losses caused by war or by certain environmental conditions, such as mold or asbestos. In addition, if a loss or damages are suffered at one or more of our properties, the insurer may attempt to limit or void coverage by arguing that the loss resulted from facts or circumstances not covered by our policy. Furthermore, our title insurance policies may not insure for the current aggregate market value of our portfolio, and we do not intend to increase our title insurance coverage as the market value of our portfolio increases. As a result, we may not have sufficient coverage against all losses that we may experience, including from adverse title claims. If we experience a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, we could incur significant costs and lose the capital invested in the damaged or otherwise adversely affected properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties.

We face possible risks associated with climate change.

We cannot predict with certainty whether global warming or cooling is occurring and, if so, at what rate. However, the physical effects of climate change could have a material adverse effect on our properties, operations and business. All of our properties are located in Honolulu and Phoenix. To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns, our markets could experience increases in storm intensity and rising sea-levels. Over time, these conditions could result in declining demand for office space in our buildings or the inability of us to operate the buildings at all. Climate change may also have indirect effects on our business by increasing the cost of (or making unavailable) property insurance on terms we find acceptable and increasing the cost of energy at our properties. Moreover, compliance with new laws or regulations related to climate change, including compliance with “green” building codes, may require us to make improvements to our existing properties or increase taxes and fees assessed on us or our properties. There can be no assurance that climate change will not have a material adverse effect on our properties, operations or business.

Terrorism and other factors affecting demand for our properties could harm our operating results.

The strength and profitability of our business depends on demand for and the value of our properties. Future terrorist attacks in the United States, such as the attacks that occurred in New York and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, and other acts of terrorism or war may have a negative impact on our operations. Such terrorist attacks could have an adverse impact on our business even if they are not directed at our properties. In addition, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have substantially affected the availability and price of insurance coverage for certain types of damages or occurrences,

and our insurance policies for terrorism include large deductibles and co-payments. Although we maintain terrorism insurance coverage on our portfolio, the lack of sufficient insurance for these types of acts could expose us to significant losses and could have a negative impact on our operations.

We face risks associated with security breaches through cyber attacks, cyber intrusions or otherwise, as well as other significant disruptions of our information technology (“IT”) networks and related systems.

We face risks associated with security breaches, whether through cyber attacks or cyber intrusions over the Internet, malware, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails, persons inside our organization or persons with access to systems inside our organization, and other significant disruptions of our IT networks and related systems. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber attack or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Our IT networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day-to-day operations (including managing our building systems), and, in some cases, may be critical to the operations of certain of our tenants. Although we make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of IT networks and related systems, and we have implemented various measures to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption, there can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed not be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, and thus it is impossible for us to entirely mitigate this risk.

A security breach or other significant disruption involving our IT networks and related systems could:


•	disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems and therefore our operations and/or those of certain of our tenants;


•	result in misstated financial reports, missed reporting deadlines and/or missed permitting deadlines;


•	result in our inability to properly monitor our compliance with the rules and regulations regarding our qualification as a REIT;


•	result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information of ours or others, which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes;


•	result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our tenants for the efficient use of their leased space;


•	require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result;


•	subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements; or


•	damage our reputation among our tenants and investors generally.

Any or all of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Because we own real property, we are subject to extensive environmental regulation which creates uncertainty regarding future environmental expenditures and liabilities.

Compliance with ADA, fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make unanticipated expenditures that could significantly reduce the cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Our properties must comply with Title III of the ADA to the extent that such properties are “public accommodations” as defined by the ADA. Under the ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an ongoing one, and continual assessment of the properties is required. Although we believe that our wholly-owned properties in the aggregate substantially comply with present requirements of the ADA, we have not conducted a comprehensive audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine compliance. If one or more of our currently owned properties or future properties is not in compliance with the ADA, then we would be required to incur additional costs to bring the property into compliance. Noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages and/or attorneys’ fees to private litigants, or both. Additional federal, state and local laws also may require us to modify properties or could restrict our ability to renovate properties. Complying with the ADA or other legislation at noncompliant properties could be very expensive. If we incur substantial costs to comply with such laws, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the value of our outstanding Senior Common Stock and Class A Common Stock, our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected. We cannot predict the ultimate amount of the cost of compliance with the ADA or other legislation.

In addition, our properties are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life safety requirements. Although we believe that our properties in the aggregate substantially comply with these regulatory requirements, we have not conducted a comprehensive review of all of our properties, and we are aware that some properties may not be in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. If we were to fail to comply with these various requirements, we might incur governmental fines or private damage awards. If we incur substantial costs to comply with these regulatory requirements, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, value of our outstanding Senior Common Stock and Class A Common Stock and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to make distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected. Local regulations, including municipal or local ordinances, zoning restrictions and restrictive covenants imposed by community developers may restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from local officials or community standards organizations at any time with respect to our properties, including prior to acquiring a property or when undertaking renovations of any of our existing properties.

If we default on the ground lease to which one of our properties is subject, our business could be adversely affected.

We currently hold a long-term ground leasehold interest in our Waterfront Plaza property. For this property, instead of owning fee title to the land, we are the lessee under a long-term ground lease. If we default under the terms of this lease, we may be liable for damages and could lose our leasehold interest in the property. If any of these events were to occur, our business and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Our property taxes could increase due to property tax rate changes or reassessment, which would impact our cash flows.

We are required to pay state and local taxes on our properties. The real property taxes on our properties may increase as property tax rates change or as our properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. Therefore, the amount of property taxes we pay in the future may increase substantially and we may be unable to fully recover these increased costs from our tenants. If the property taxes we pay increase and we are unable to fully recover these increased costs from our tenants, our cash flow would be impacted, and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders could be adversely affected.

We may become subject to litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

In the future, we may become subject to litigation, including claims relating to our operations, securities and otherwise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims may result in significant defense costs and potentially significant judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, insured against. Resolution of these types of matters against us may result in our having to pay significant fines, judgments or settlements, which, if uninsured, or if the fines, judgments and settlements exceed insured levels, could adversely impact our earnings and cash flows, thereby impacting our ability to service debt and make distributions to our stockholders. Certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows and/or expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured. Even if we are successful in defending ourselves, certain litigation may require significant attention from our external management team and distract them from the management of our operations, adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to satisfy the regulatory requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or if our disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting is not effective, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could adversely affect the perception of our business and the value of our outstanding Senior Common Stock and Class A Common Stock.

As a public company, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Sarbanes-Oxley, requires that we evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year, and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in all annual reports. The design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent all errors, misstatements, or misrepresentations. Although management will continue to review the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, there can be no guarantee that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in accomplishing all control objectives all of the time. Deficiencies, including any material weakness, in our internal control over financial reporting which may occur in the future could result in misstatements of our results of operations, restatements of our financial statements, a decline in the value of our outstanding Senior Common Stock and Class A Common Stock, or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest and Certain Relationships

There may be various conflicts of interest resulting from the relationships among us, our management and other parties.

There may be conflicts of interest among us, our management and other parties. These potential conflicts of interest include the following:


•	Certain of our directors and officers are also officers, managers and members of Shidler Pacific Advisors and may therefore benefit from the compensation arrangements relating to Shidler Pacific Advisors under our Advisory Agreement with that entity, which were not the result of arm’s-length negotiations.


•	Certain of our directors and officers may engage in the management of other business entities and properties in other business entities, which may result in a potential conflict with respect to the allocation of time of such key personnel.


•	Certain of our current and former affiliates hold promissory notes payable by our Operating Partnership. Those persons have rights under the promissory notes, and their exercise of these rights and pursuit of remedies may be affected by their relationship with each other.


•	The debt outstanding under the Loan Agreement is non-recourse to our Operating Partnership, except for customary recourse carve-outs for borrower misconduct and environmental liabilities. The recourse liability for borrower misconduct and environmental liabilities is guaranteed by Mr. Shidler. Our Operating Partnership has agreed to indemnify Mr. Shidler to the extent of his guaranty liability.


•	An entity controlled by Mr. Shidler has pledged a certificate of deposit in the amount of $25 million as security for our Operating Partnership’s credit agreement with First Hawaiian Bank, for which the Operating Partnership has agreed to pay certain fees and provide certain indemnification rights.

These conflicts may result in terms that are more favorable to our management and/or our other affiliates than would have been obtained on an arm’s-length basis, and may operate to the detriment of our stockholders.

We are controlled by Jay H. Shidler.

Jay H. Shidler is the Chairman of our board of directors, and is the manager and sole owner of Shidler Pacific Advisors, our external advisor. As part of our formation transactions, we issued one share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock, which is entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon redemption for shares of the Common Units and Preferred Units that our Operating Partnership issued in connection with the formation transactions. This share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock is held by Pacific Office Holding, Inc., a corporation owned by Mr. Shidler and certain of our current and former executive officers and other affiliates. Pacific Office Holding, Inc. has agreed to cast its Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock votes on any matter in direct proportion to votes that are cast by limited partners of our Operating Partnership holding the Common Units and Preferred Units issued in the formation transactions. POP Venture, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company which we refer to as Venture, holds those Common Units and Preferred Units and is controlled by Mr. Shidler. As of December 31, 2017, the one share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock represented 88% of our voting power. Therefore, because of his position with us, Shidler Pacific Advisors, Venture and Pacific Office Holding, Inc., and the additional shares of our Class A Common Stock that he holds, Mr. Shidler has the ability to effectively vote 91.4% of our currently outstanding voting securities and has significant influence over our policies and strategy and the operations and control of our business and the business of our Operating Partnership. The interests of Mr. Shidler in these matters may conflict with the interests of our other stockholders. As a result, Mr. Shidler could cause us or our Operating Partnership to take actions that our other stockholders do not support.

Mr. Shidler may compete with us and, therefore, may have conflicts of interest with us.

Mr. Shidler is not party to a noncompetition agreement with us. As a result, Mr. Shidler may invest in office properties in Phoenix or Hawaii that are in markets in which we own an office property. It is therefore possible that a property in which Mr. Shidler or his affiliates have an interest may compete with us in the future.

Risks Related to our Capital Stock, our Corporate Structure and our Status as a REIT

Our Class A Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets, which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

Our Class A Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets, which is a significantly more limited trading market than the national or regional stock exchanges. We have no specialist or market maker that is obligated to maintain a market in our stock. Furthermore, brokers and dealers making quotations are not obligated to engage in transactions in our Class A Common Stock at quoted or any other prices. The quotation of our shares on the OTCQB has resulted in and will likely continue to result in a relatively illiquid market to trade shares of our Class A Common Stock, could depress the trading price of our Class A Common Stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.

When fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTCQB, volatility of prices may increase and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate quote information. Due to lower trading volumes in shares of our Class A Common Stock, there may be a lower likelihood of orders for shares of our Class A Common Stock being executed, and current prices

may differ significantly from the price that was quoted at the time of entering the order.

We expect that the volume of trading of our Class A Common Stock will remain low and the market for selling our shares will remain limited.

Our Class A Common Stock has historically been sporadically or thinly traded. The trading volume of our Class A Common Stock may be limited by the fact that many major institutional investment funds, including mutual funds, as well as individual investors follow a policy of not investing in unlisted stocks, and certain major brokerage firms restrict their brokers from recommending unlisted stocks because they are considered speculative and volatile. The OTCQB is an inter-dealer market much less regulated than the major exchanges, and our Class A Common Stock is subject to abuses, volatility and shorting. As a result, the number of persons interested in purchasing our Class A Common Stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. There may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is low or nonexistent and a stockholder may be unable to sell his shares of Class A Common Stock at an acceptable price, or at all. We cannot give stockholders any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our Class A Common Stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.

Because the trading volume of our Class A Common Stock has been and may continue to be limited and sporadic, the quoted price for our Class A Common Stock on the OTCQB may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of its fair market value. Further, we are not able to compel continued quotations on the OTCQB. If we cease to be quoted, holders would find it more difficult to dispose of our Class A Common Stock or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our Class A Common Stock and as a result, the market value of our Class A Common Stock likely would decline.

Our Class A Common Stock may be governed by the “penny stock rules,” which impose additional requirements on broker-dealers who engage in transactions in our Class A Common Stock.

SEC rules require a broker-dealer to provide certain information to purchasers of securities traded at less than $5.00 which are not traded on a national securities exchange. Because our Class A Common Stock is not listed on an exchange and trades below that price, our Class A Common Stock is considered a “penny stock,” and trading in our Class A Common Stock is subject to the requirements of Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the penny stock rules. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer effecting certain types of transactions in penny stocks to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer may also be required to give bid and offer quotations and broker and salesperson compensation information to the purchaser orally or in writing before or with the confirmation of the transaction. In addition, the penny stock rules may require a broker-dealer to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction before a transaction in a penny stock. These requirements may severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few broker-dealers may be likely to undertake these compliance activities. Further, certain investors may have policies or may otherwise be prohibited from investing in securities subject to these requirements. Therefore, the disclosure requirements under the penny stock rules may have the effect of reducing trading activity in our Class A Common Stock, which may make it more difficult for holders to sell their shares.

Our Class A Common Stock price may be volatile.

There can be no assurance that shares of our Class A Common Stock will be resold at or above their purchase price. The market value of our Class A Common Stock could be substantially affected by many factors, including our financial condition and performance, our quarterly and annual operating results, the non-payment of dividends on our Class A Common Stock and any future actions with respect to dividends, the general reputation of REITs and the attractiveness of their equity securities in comparison to other equity securities (including securities issued by other real estate-based companies), and general market conditions.

Our ability to pay dividends is limited, and we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to pay dividends regularly or at all.

Because we conduct substantially all of our operations through our Operating Partnership, our ability to pay dividends depends almost entirely on distributions received on our interests in our Operating Partnership, the payment of which

depends in turn on our ability to operate profitably and generate cash flow from our operations. Our ability to pay dividends to holders of our Class A Common Stock depends on our Operating Partnership’s ability first to satisfy its obligations to its creditors and preferred unitholders (including us with respect to the outstanding Senior Common Units of our Operating Partnership, and then to the holder of the outstanding Preferred Units of our Operating Partnership) and then to make distributions to us with respect to our general partnership interest. Our Operating Partnership may not make distributions to the holders of its outstanding Common Units (including us with respect to our general partnership interest) unless full cumulative distributions have been paid on its outstanding Senior Common Units and Preferred Units, and we may not pay dividends on our Class A Common Stock unless full cumulative dividends have been paid on our outstanding Senior Common Stock.

From May 2013 through November 2016, we paid dividends on our outstanding Senior Common Stock at half the stated annualized rate. Beginning December 2016, we ceased payment of dividends on the Senior Common Stock. The difference between the stated dividend and the paid dividend accrues until paid in full, although we do not currently expect to resume the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future. We did not declare a dividend on our Class A Common Stock in 2017 or 2016, and do not currently expect to declare a dividend on our Class A Common Stock in 2018. Furthermore, our Operating Partnership did not pay a distribution with respect to its outstanding Preferred Units or Common Units in 2017 or 2016, and does not expect to do so in 2018. As noted above, unless full cumulative distributions have been paid on the outstanding Senior Common Units and Preferred Units, our Operating Partnership may not pay a distribution on its outstanding Common Units (including us with respect to our general partnership interest), which effectively means that we will be unable to declare dividends on our Class A Common Stock unless and until all cumulative dividends and distributions have been paid with respect to the Senior Common Stock and the Preferred Units. Unless full cumulative dividends on the Senior Common Stock have been paid for all past dividend periods, we may not repurchase or redeem any shares of Senior Common Stock (or Class A Common Stock) unless all outstanding shares of Senior Common Stock are simultaneously repurchased or redeemed.

We do not currently expect that we will be able to resume the payment of dividends (including dividends on our Senior Common Stock) in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends or other distributions in the future will depend upon our legal and contractual obligations, including the provisions of the Senior Common Stock, as well as actual results of operations, economic conditions, debt service requirements and other factors. Our actual results of operations will be affected by a number of factors, including the revenue we receive from our properties, our operating expenses, interest expense, the ability of our tenants to meet their obligations and unanticipated expenditures.

The issuance of Class A Common Stock in exchange for Senior Common Stock or partnership units of our Operating Partnership and future offerings of debt, preferred stock or other securities may dilute the holdings of, or otherwise adversely impact, our existing stockholders.

We may attempt to increase our capital resources by making additional offerings of debt or equity securities, including commercial paper, medium term notes, senior or subordinated notes and classes of preferred stock, convertible preferred units or common stock. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities, holders of our Senior Common Stock or any preferred stock with preferential distribution rights that we may issue and lenders with respect to other borrowings would receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our Class A Common Stock. Future equity offerings and the issuance of Class A Common Stock in exchange for Senior Common Stock or partnership units of our Operating Partnership may dilute the holdings of our existing stockholders. In 2017, 51,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued in exchange for 5,100 shares of Senior Common Stock. If we decide to issue preferred stock in addition to our Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock already issued, it could have a preference on liquidation distributions or a preference on dividend payments that could limit our ability to make a dividend distribution to our existing stockholders. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings.

Provisions in our charter, bylaws and Maryland law may delay or prevent our acquisition by a third party, even if such acquisition were in the best interests of our stockholders.

Certain provisions of Maryland law and our charter and bylaws could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing transactions that involve an actual or threatened change in control of us, and may have the effect of entrenching

our management and members of our board of directors, regardless of their performance. These provisions cover, among other topics, the following:


•	removal of directors;


•	limitation on stockholder-requested special meetings;


•	advance notice provisions for stockholder nominations and proposals;


•	exclusive power of our board to amend our bylaws;


•	issuance of preferred stock;


•	restrictions on transfer and ownership of shares of our stock; and


•	duties of directors with respect to unsolicited takeovers.

Our board of directors may classify or reclassify any unissued common stock or preferred stock and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption of any such stock. Thus, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of preferred stock with priority as to distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation over the rights of our existing stockholders. Such preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price to our existing stockholders. Our board of directors may also, without stockholder approval, amend our charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of our stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue.

If we fail to remain qualified as a REIT in any taxable year, our operations and ability to make distributions will be adversely affected because we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates with no deduction for distributions made to stockholders.

We believe that we are organized and operate in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and that our method of operation enables us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. However, qualification as a REIT requires us to satisfy highly technical and complex Code provisions for which only limited judicial and administrative authorities exist, and which are subject to change, potentially with retroactive effect. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize our REIT status. Our continued qualification as a REIT will depend on our satisfaction of certain asset, income, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership and other requirements on a continuing basis. In particular, our ability to qualify as a REIT depends on the relative values of our common stock and our other classes of equity, which are susceptible to fluctuations, and on the actions of third parties in which we may own an interest but over which we have no control or limited influence.

If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any tax year, then:


•	we would not be required to make distributions to our stockholders;


•	we would not be allowed to deduct distributions to our stockholders in computing our taxable income;


•	we would be subject to federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax (for taxable years prior to January 1, 2018), at regular corporate rates; and

•

any resulting tax liability could be substantial and could require us to borrow money or sell assets to pay such liability, and would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to stockholders. Unless we were entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, we would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years following the year during which we lost our qualification, and thus, our cash available for distribution to stockholders would be reduced for each of the years during which we did not qualify as a REIT.

Even if we remain qualified as a REIT, we may face other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow.

Even if we remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and assets, including taxes on any undistributed income and any taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to federal, state and local taxes on its income. Any of these taxes would decrease the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders. In addition, in order to meet the REIT qualification requirements, or to avert the imposition of a 100% prohibited transactions tax that generally applies to certain gains derived by a REIT from dealer property or inventory, we may in the

future hold some of our assets through taxable REIT subsidiaries, which (unlike REITs) are taxed on their taxable income, whether or not distributed.

Complying with REIT requirements may force us to borrow or take other adverse actions to make distributions to stockholders.

As a REIT, we must generally distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to our stockholders. If we satisfy the REIT distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under federal tax laws.

From time to time, we may generate taxable income greater than our cash flow available for distribution to stockholders (for example, due to substantial non-deductible cash outlays, such as capital expenditures or principal payments on debt). In order to avoid income and excise taxes in these situations, we could be required to fund distributions from working capital, liquidate assets at prices or times that we regard as unfavorable or borrow to provide funds for distributions, or we may make distributions in the form of a taxable stock dividend. As a result, having to comply with the distribution requirement could cause us to sell assets in adverse market conditions, borrow on unfavorable terms or distribute amounts that would otherwise be invested in future acquisitions, capital expenditures or repayment of debt. These alternatives could increase our operating costs or diminish our levels of growth.

REIT restrictions on ownership of our capital stock may delay or prevent our acquisition by a third party, even if an acquisition is in the best interests of our stockholders.

In order for us to qualify as a REIT, not more than 50% of the value of our capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals during the last half of any taxable year.

Our charter provides that, subject to certain exceptions, no person, including entities, may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more than 4.9% in economic value of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of capital stock, or more than 4.9% in economic value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding shares of common stock. While these restrictions may prevent any five individuals from owning more than 50% of the shares, they could also discourage a change in control of our company. These restrictions may also deter tender offers that may be attractive to stockholders or limit the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares if an investor seeks to acquire a block of shares of our capital stock.

Complying with REIT requirements may affect our profitability and may force us to liquidate or forgo otherwise attractive investments.

To qualify as a REIT, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the nature and diversification of our assets, the sources of our income and the amounts we distribute to our stockholders. We may be required to liquidate or forgo otherwise attractive investments in order to satisfy the asset and income tests or to qualify under certain statutory relief provisions. We also may be required to make distributions to stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Accordingly, satisfying the REIT requirements could have an adverse effect on our business results, profitability and ability to execute our business plan. Moreover, if we are compelled to liquidate our investments to meet any of these asset, income or distribution tests, or to repay obligations to our lenders, we may be unable to comply with one or more of the requirements applicable to REITs or may be subject to a 100% tax on any resulting gain if such sales constitute prohibited transactions.

Liquidation of collateral may jeopardize our REIT status.

To continue to qualify as a REIT, we must comply with requirements regarding our assets and our sources of income. If we are compelled to liquidate investments to satisfy our obligations to our lenders, we may be unable to comply with these requirements, ultimately jeopardizing our status as a REIT.

Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively.

The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge our operations. Under current law, any income that we generate from derivatives or other transactions intended to hedge our interest rate risks, or any income from foreign currency or other hedges, will generally be treated as nonqualifying income for purposes of the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests unless specified requirements are met. As a result of these rules, we may have to limit our use of hedging techniques that might otherwise be advantageous, which could result in greater risks associated with interest rate or other changes than we would otherwise incur.

We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes that could reduce the value of our outstanding Senior Common Stock and Class A Common Stock.

At any time, the federal and state income tax laws governing REITs, or the administrative interpretations of those laws, may be amended. Any of those new laws or interpretations may take effect retroactively and could adversely affect us or you as a stockholder.

Changes to the U.S. tax laws could have a significant negative impact on our business operations, financial condition and earnings.

An act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and V of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018 commonly known as Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which generally takes effect for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 (subject to certain exceptions), makes many significant changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws that will profoundly impact the taxation of individuals and corporations (including both regular C corporations and corporations that have elected to be taxed as REITs). Among the changes made by the Act are the following:


•	temporarily reducing individual U.S. federal income tax rates on ordinary income; the highest individual U.S. federal income tax rate has been reduced from 39.6% to 37% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026;


•	reducing the maximum corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%;


•	permitting a deduction for certain pass-through business income, including dividends received by our stockholders from us that are not designated by us as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income, which will allow individuals, trusts, and estates to deduct up to 20% of such amounts for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026;


•	reducing the highest rate of withholding with respect to our distributions to non-U.S. stockholders that are treated as attributable to gains from the sale or exchange of U.S. real property interests from 35% to 21%;


•	limiting our deduction for net operating losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 to 80% of REIT taxable income;


•	generally limiting the deduction for net business interest expense in excess of 30% of a business’ “adjusted taxable income,” except for taxpayers (including most equity REITs) that engage in certain real estate businesses and elect out of this rule (provided that such electing taxpayers must use an alternative depreciation system with longer depreciation periods); and


•	eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax, for taxable years after December 31, 2017.

Many of these changes are effective immediately, without any transition periods or grandfathering for existing transactions. The legislation is unclear in many respects and could be subject to potential amendments and technical corrections, as well as interpretations and implementing regulations by the U.S. Treasury Department and IRS, any of which could lessen or increase the impact of the legislation. In addition, it is unclear how these U.S. federal income tax changes will affect state and local taxation, which often uses federal taxable income as a starting point for computing state and local tax liabilities. While some of the changes made by the tax legislation may adversely affect us in one or more reporting periods and prospectively, other changes may be beneficial on a going forward basis. We continue to work with our tax advisors and auditors to determine the full impact that the recent tax legislation as a whole will have on us.

(1)

Annualized rent represents the monthly contractual rent under commenced leases as of December 31, 2017. This amount reflects total rent before abatements and includes contractual expense reimbursements, which are estimated by annualizing December 2017 actual expense reimbursement billings. Joint venture properties are reported with respect to each property in its entirety, rather than the portion of the property represented by our ownership interest. No portion of the joint venture properties’ annualized rent is consolidated in our consolidated financial statements because our interests in our joint venture properties are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.


(2)	As previously discussed, we have entered into a purchase and sale agreement with respect to the sale of the Pan Am Building property. The completion of the sale transaction is expected to occur no later than August 13, 2018.

(2)	Average rental rate includes contractual base rents from our tenants pursuant to our lease agreements as adjusted for straight-line rate adjustments and rate abatements.

Variability in buildings, leased square feet and term of expiring leases makes predicting the changes in average rental rates in future periods difficult. More broadly, our rental rates and occupancy are impacted by general economic and market conditions, especially as they pertain to developments in the Honolulu business environment. Therefore, we cannot give any assurance that leases will be renewed or that available space will be re-leased at rental rates equal to or above the current market rates. Additionally, decreased demand and other negative trends or unforeseeable events that impair our ability to timely renew or re-lease space could have further negative effects on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Ground Leased Properties

At December 31, 2017 we held a long-term ground leasehold interest in our Waterfront Plaza property.

The Waterfront Plaza ground lease expires December 31, 2060. The annual rental obligation has fixed increases at five year intervals until it resets on January 1, 2036, 2041, 2046, 2051 and 2056 to an amount equal to the greater of (i) 8.0% of the fair market value of the land, and (ii) the ground lease rent payable during the prior period.

See Note 10 of our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our ground leased property.

PART II

ITEM 5. - MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Our Class A Common Stock is currently quoted in the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets under the symbol “PCFO.” The trading of our Class A Common Stock has been and may continue to be limited and sporadic.

The table below sets forth the high and low sales prices for our Class A Common Stock as reported by the OTC Markets from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017. No dividends were declared on our Class A Common Stock for any of these periods.



	High		Low
2017
Fourth Quarter	$	0.15	$	0.10
Third Quarter	$	0.17	$	0.05
Second Quarter	$	0.15	$	0.11

Third Quarter	$	0.51	$	0.32
Second Quarter	$	1.65	$	0.05
First Quarter	$	1.75	$	0.55

As of March 5, 2018, our Class A Common Stock was held by 37 stockholders of record. This figure does not reflect the beneficial ownership of shares held in nominee name.

Our Class B Common Stock has identical voting and dividend rights to our Class A Common Stock, but has no distribution rights upon liquidation. No established public trading market exists for our Class B Common Stock. As of March 5, 2018, our Class B Common Stock was held by one stockholder of record.

There currently is no established public trading market for our Senior Common Stock, and we do not expect to have our shares of Senior Common Stock listed on any securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system. As of March 5, 2018, our Senior Common Stock was held by 923 stockholders of record.

Dividends

Our Senior Common Stock ranks senior to our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock with respect to dividends and distribution of amounts upon liquidation. Subject to the preferential rights of any future series of preferred shares, holders of Senior Common Stock are entitled to receive, when and as authorized by our board of directors and declared by us, cumulative cash dividends in an amount per share equal to a minimum of $0.725 per share per annum, payable monthly. Dividends on the Senior Common Stock are cumulative and accrue to the extent not declared or paid by us. Our board of directors authorized daily dividends on the Senior Common Stock for the months of April 2010 through April 2013, in an amount equal to the stated annualized rate of 7.25% of the original issue price of $10.00 per share. Dividends declared for each month during such periods were paid on or about the 15th day of the following month. From May 2013 through November 2016, we paid dividends on our outstanding Senior Common Stock at half the stated annualized rate, and beginning December 2016, we ceased payment of dividends on the Senior Common Stock. The difference between the stated dividend and the paid dividend (which amounted to $5.0 million in aggregate as of December 31, 2017) will accrue until paid in full, although we do not currently expect to resume the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future.

Because we conduct substantially all of our operations through our Operating Partnership, our ability to pay dividends or other distributions (including liquidating distributions) to our stockholders depends almost entirely on distributions received on our interests in our Operating Partnership, the payment of which depends in turn on our ability to operate profitably and generate cash flow from our operations. Our ability to pay dividends or other distributions to holders of our Class A Common Stock depends on our Operating Partnership’s ability first to satisfy its obligations to its creditors and preferred unitholders (including us with respect to the outstanding Senior Common Units of our Operating Partnership, and then to the holder of the outstanding Preferred Units of our Operating Partnership) and then to make distributions to us with respect to our general partnership interest. Our Operating Partnership may not make distributions to the holders of its outstanding Common Units (including us with respect to our general partnership interest) unless full cumulative distributions have been paid on its outstanding Senior Common Units and Preferred Units, and we may not pay dividends on our Class A Common Stock unless full cumulative dividends have been paid on our outstanding Senior Common Stock.

We did not declare a dividend on our Class A Common Stock in 2017 or 2016, and do not currently expect to declare a dividend on our Class A Common Stock in 2018. Furthermore, our Operating Partnership did not pay a distribution with respect to its outstanding Preferred Units or Common Units in 2017 or 2016, and does not expect to do so in 2018. As noted above, unless full cumulative distributions have been paid on the outstanding Senior Common Units and Preferred Units, our Operating Partnership may not pay a distribution on its outstanding Common Units (including us with respect to our general partnership interest), which effectively means that we will be unable to pay dividends or other distributions on our Class A Common Stock unless and until all cumulative dividends and distributions have been paid with respect to the Senior Common Stock and the Preferred Units.

Unless full cumulative dividends on the Senior Common Stock have been paid for all past dividend periods, we may not repurchase or redeem any shares of Senior Common Stock (or Class A Common Stock) unless all outstanding shares of Senior Common Stock are simultaneously repurchased or redeemed.

We do not currently expect that we will be able to resume the payment of dividends (including dividends on our Senior Common Stock) in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends or other distributions in the future will depend upon our legal and contractual restrictions, including the provisions of the Senior Common Stock, as well as actual results of operations, economic conditions, debt service requirements and other factors. Our actual results of operations will be affected by a number of factors, including the revenue we receive from our properties, our operating expenses, interest expense, the ability of our tenants to meet their obligations and unanticipated expenditures. For more information regarding risk factors that could materially adversely affect our actual results of operations, see Part I, Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we issued 51,000 shares of Class A Common Stock upon the conversion of 5,100 shares of Senior Common Stock. This issuance was made by us in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Our ownership interest percentage in these joint ventures is 5.0%. As of December 31, 2017, our property portfolio included office buildings in Honolulu and Phoenix.

Our advisor is Shidler Pacific Advisors, LLC (“Shidler Pacific Advisors”), an entity that is owned and controlled by Jay H. Shidler (“Mr. Shidler”), our Chairman of the Board. Lawrence J. Taff, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, also serves as President of Shidler Pacific Advisors. Shidler Pacific Advisors is responsible for the day-to-day operation and management of the Company, including management of our wholly-owned properties.

Critical Accounting Policies

This discussion and analysis of the historical financial condition and results of operations is based upon the accompanying consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with

GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses in the reporting period. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and assumptions. Summarized below are those accounting policies that require material subjective or complex judgments and that have the most significant impact on financial conditions and results of operations. These estimates have been evaluated on an ongoing basis, based upon information currently available and on various assumptions that management believes are reasonable as of the date hereof. In addition, other companies in similar businesses may use different estimation policies and methodologies, which may impact the comparability of the results of operations and financial conditions to those of other companies.

Investments in Real Estate. We account for acquisitions of real estate utilizing the purchase method and, accordingly, the results of operations of acquired properties are included in our results of operations from the respective dates of acquisition.

Investments in real estate properties are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment. Our wholly-owned properties, all of which were contributed to us at the time of our formation transactions in 2008, are stated at their historical net cost basis in an amount attributable to the ownership interests in such properties owned by Mr. Shidler prior to the formation transactions. Additions to land, buildings and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment and construction in progress are recorded at cost.

Transaction costs related to acquisitions are expensed. Costs associated with developing space for its intended use are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives, commencing at the later of the improvement completion date or the lease commencement date.

Estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques are used to allocate the acquisition cost of acquired properties among land, buildings and improvements, and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities such as amounts related to in-place at-market leases, acquired below-market leases, and acquired above- and below-market ground leases.

The fair values of real estate assets acquired are determined on an “as-if-vacant” basis. The “as-if-vacant” fair value is allocated to land, and where applicable, buildings, tenant improvements and equipment based on comparable sales and other relevant information obtained in connection with the acquisition of the property.

Fair value is assigned to below-market leases based on the difference between (a) the contractual amounts to be paid by the tenant based on the existing lease and (b) management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, over the remaining terms of the in-place leases. Capitalized below-market lease amounts are reflected in “Acquired below-market leases, net,” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized as an increase in rental revenue over the remaining initial non-cancellable lease terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options that are considered bargain renewal options. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance, net of the security deposit, of the related intangible is written off.

Fair value is also assigned to tenant relationships. Capitalized tenant relationship amounts are included in “Intangible assets, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to “Depreciation and amortization” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Amounts are amortized over the remaining terms of the respective leases even if a tenant vacates prior to the contractual termination of the lease. An adjustment to tenant relationship amounts occurs should the property experience an impairment loss.

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets consists of acquired in-place leases. The fair value allocated to acquired in-place leases consists of a variety of components including, but not necessarily limited to: (a) the value associated with avoiding the cost of originating the acquired in-place lease (i.e. the market cost to execute a lease, including leasing commissions and legal fees, if any); (b) the value associated with lost revenue related to tenant reimbursable operating costs estimated to be incurred during the assumed lease-up period (i.e. real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses); (c) the value associated with lost rental revenue from existing leases during the assumed lease-up period; and (d) the value associated with any other inducements to secure a tenant lease. The value assigned to acquired in-place leases is amortized over the remaining lives of the related leases.

We record the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit on an annual basis, during the fourth quarter of each calendar year, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. See “Goodwill” below. An impairment loss for an asset group is allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro-rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets, except that the loss allocated to an individual long-lived asset shall not reduce the carrying amount of that asset below its fair value. A description of our testing policy is set forth in “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” below.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, we assess the potential for impairment of our long-lived assets, including real estate properties, whenever events occur or a change in circumstances indicate that the recorded carrying value might not be fully recoverable. Indicators of potential impairment include significant decreases in occupancy levels and/or rental rates or a change in strategy that results in a decreased holding period. We determine whether impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and excluding interest, expected from the use and eventual disposition of the asset to its carrying value. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, the real estate or intangible carrying value is reduced to fair value and impairment loss is recognized. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. No impairment charges for our wholly-owned properties were recorded for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. Our investments in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting because we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, our joint ventures. Our joint venture partners have substantive participating rights, including approval of and participation in setting operating budgets. Accordingly, we have determined that the equity method of accounting is appropriate for our investments in joint ventures.

Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted for our proportionate equity in the net income or net loss of the joint ventures, contributions made to, or distributions received from, the joint ventures and other adjustments. We record distributions of operating profit from our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as part of cash flows from operating activities and distributions related to a capital transaction, such as a refinancing transaction or sale, as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

We evaluate all investments in accordance with the guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810), Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which we adopted on January 1, 2016 and which requires us to re-evaluate our joint venture investments to determine whether or not the joint ventures are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and if they are VIEs, whether or not we are determined to be the primary beneficiary. We would consolidate a VIE if it is determined that we are the primary beneficiary. We use qualitative analyses to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors could include, but is not limited to, the purpose and design of the VIE, risks that the VIE was designed to create and pass through, the form of our ownership interest, our representation of the entity’s governing body, the size and seniority of our investment, our ability to participate in policy making decisions, and the rights of the other investors to participate in the decision making process and to replace the manager and/or liquidate the venture, if applicable. Under the amended standards, our joint ventures were determined to be VIEs based on our inability to control the joint ventures due to our lack of substantive kick-out and participating rights over our joint venture partners; however, we are not the primary beneficiaries of these VIEs because we lack the power to direct the activities of the joint ventures and do not have rights to significant financial benefits from each of our joint ventures. As of December 31, 2017, our maximum exposure to loss with respect to this arrangement is limited to the $0.3 million carrying value of our investments in the unconsolidated joint ventures.

Impairment of Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. Our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures is subject to a periodic impairment review and is considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. An investment in an unconsolidated joint venture that we identify as having an indicator of impairment is subject to further analysis to determine if the investment is other than temporarily impaired, in which case we write down the investment to its estimated fair value. No impairment charges were recorded in our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Discontinued Operations. The revenue, expenses, impairment and/or gain or loss on sale of operating properties that meet the applicable criteria of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations. A gain on sale, if any, is recognized in the period the property is disposed of.

In determining whether to report the results of operations, impairment and/or gain or loss on sale of operating properties as discontinued operations, we evaluate whether the property that has been disposed of by sale, disposed of other than by sale or is classified as held for sale represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. A strategic shift could include the disposal of a major geographical area, a major line of business, a major equity method investment or other major parts of an entity.

We classify properties as held for sale when certain criteria set forth in the Long-Lived Assets Classified as Held for Sale Subsections of FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, are met, including when we receive cash deposits towards the purchase of our properties. At that time, we present the non-cash assets and liabilities of the property held for sale separately in our consolidated balance sheet. We cease recording depreciation and amortization expense at the time a property is classified as held for sale. Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. In the event that a property classified as held for sale no longer meets the criteria for held for sale classification, the property is reclassified as held for use at the lower of the fair value or the depreciated basis as if the property had continued to be used.

In August 2016, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell our Pan Am Building property, located in Honolulu, Hawaii. The completion of the sale transaction is expected to occur no later than August 13, 2018. Because the sale of the Pan Am Building will not be completed until after the expiration of the sale restriction under the tax protection arrangements, the property does not meet the held for sale criteria of FASB ASC 360 and as a result, is classified as held for use in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017. We will continue to own and operate the property until the completion of the sale. See Note 10 for more discussion on the tax protection arrangements.

Goodwill. We record the excess cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each calendar year, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that a possible impairment has occurred. The assessment of impairment involves a two-step process whereby an initial assessment for potential impairment is performed, followed by a measurement of the amount of impairment, if any. Impairment testing is performed using the fair value approach, which requires the use of estimates and judgment, at the “reporting unit” level. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business that is one level below the operating segment if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management at that level. The reporting unit’s fair value is calculated as the discounted future cash flows based on management’s best estimate of the applicable capitalization and discount rates. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. An impairment charge is recognized as a charge against income equal to the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied value on the date of the impairment. Factors that may cause goodwill to be impaired include, but may not be limited to, a sustained decline in our stock price and the occurrence, or sustained existence, of adverse economic conditions or decreased cash flow from our properties.

We consider our wholly-owned properties one reporting unit due to similar geographic and economic characteristics. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, goodwill of our wholly-owned properties amounted to $37.7 million.

Revenue Recognition. The following four criteria must be met before we recognize revenue and gains:


•	persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;


•	the delivery has occurred or services rendered;


•	the fee is fixed and determinable; and


•	collectability is reasonably assured.

All of our tenant leases are classified as operating leases. For all leases with scheduled rent increases or other adjustments, minimum rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Straight-line rent receivable represents rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis in excess of billed rents and this amount is included in “Deferred rents” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The straight line rent adjustment included in “Rental revenues” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $0.62 million and $0.26 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, excise taxes and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable costs are incurred.

Capitalized below-market lease amounts are amortized as an increase to rental revenue over the remaining initial non-cancellable lease terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options that are considered bargain renewal options.

We have leased space to certain tenants under non-cancellable operating leases, which provide for percentage rents based upon tenant revenues. Percentage rental income is recorded in “Rental revenues” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Rental revenue from parking operations and month-to-month leases or leases with no scheduled rent increases or other adjustments is recognized on a monthly basis when earned.

Lease termination fees, which are included in “Other” revenue of the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, are recognized when the related leases are canceled and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants.

“Other” revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations generally includes income incidental to our operations and is recognized when earned.

Tenant Receivables. Tenant receivables are recorded and carried at the amount billable per the applicable lease agreement, less any allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amounts is no longer considered probable. Tenant receivables are included in “Rents and other receivables, net,” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If a tenant fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, we may recognize bad debt expense in future periods equal to the amount of unpaid rent. We take into consideration factors including historical termination, default activity and current economic conditions to evaluate the level of reserve necessary. We had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.5 million and $0.2 million, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We had a total of $1.9 million and $1.8 million of lease security available in security deposits, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Income Taxes. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we currently distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. Also, at least 95% of gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources. We intend to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders. However, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, if any. Because we did not have any taxable income to distribute for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we have not recognized any provision for income taxes.

The Company is subject to the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for the financial statement recognition of uncertain tax positions. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the need for income tax accruals in accordance with ASC 740.

Non-Controlling Interests. We account for non-controlling interests in accordance with FASB ASC 810, Consolidation. In accordance with FASB ASC 810, we report non-controlling interests in subsidiaries within equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the parent stockholders’ equity. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests

is presented as a reduction from net income in calculating net income available to common stockholders on the statement of operations. Acquisitions or dispositions of non-controlling interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, FASB ASC 810 requires that a parent company recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated upon a change in control. In accordance with FASB ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, non-controlling interests that are determined to be redeemable are carried at their redemption value as of the balance sheet date and reported as temporary equity. We periodically evaluate individual non-controlling interests for the ability to continue to recognize the non-controlling interest as permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Any non-controlling interest that fails to qualify as permanent equity will be reclassified as temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (a) the carrying amount, or (b) its redemption value as of the end of the period in which the determination is made, the resulting adjustment is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. See Note 11 for a more detailed discussion.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 include the results of our wholly-owned properties (Waterfront Plaza, Davies Pacific Center and Pan Am Building) and our equity in the net earnings (loss) of our unconsolidated joint ventures.

Overview

As of December 31, 2017, our wholly-owned properties were 85.1% leased, with 167,539 square feet available, under a total of 312 leases. As of that date, 18.4% of our leased square footage was scheduled to expire during 2018 and another 14.0% of our leased square footage was scheduled to expire during 2019.

As of December 31, 2016, our wholly-owned properties were 85.2% leased, with 166,222 square feet available, under a total of 324 leases. As of that date, 16.9% of our leased square footage was scheduled to expire during 2017 and another 11.1% of our leased square footage was scheduled to expire during 2018.

The changes in vacant space for our wholly-owned properties for the period from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017 are shown below:

___________________________


(1)	Includes leases that expired on the last day of the prior period.


(2)	Includes adjustments for remeasured square footage, right-to-use leases and month-to-month storage leases.

We receive income primarily from rental revenue (including tenant reimbursements) from our office properties and, to a lesser extent, from our parking revenues. Our office properties are typically leased to tenants with good credit for terms ranging from two to 20 years. We perform credit evaluations on new tenants by requesting and reviewing their financial statements and recent tax returns. During the terms of our leases, we monitor the credit quality of our tenants by reviewing the timeliness of their lease payments. In addition, we may review financial statements, operating statements and/or performance of other financial covenants as allowed for under their lease.

Revenues

Rental revenue. Total rental revenue increased by an insignificant amount compared to the prior year.

Tenant reimbursements. Total tenant reimbursements increased by $0.6 million, or 3.3%, primarily due to increases in tenant recoveries for common area maintenance expenses at Davies Pacific Center ($0.3 million) and Pan Am Building ($0.1 million) and electricity expense reimbursements at Davies Pacific Center ($0.1 million) and Waterfront Plaza ($0.1 million) compared to the prior year period.

Parking revenue. Total parking revenue increased by $0.1 million, or 0.9%, primarily due to increased parking revenues at Waterfront Plaza compared to the prior year period.

Other revenue. Total other revenue increased by $0.1 million, or 27.0%, primarily due to a termination fee that arose from a significant Waterfront Plaza tenant who vacated its leased premises in the current year period.

Expenses

Rental property operating expenses. Total rental property operating expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 2.2%, primarily due to increases in electricity usage at Davies Pacific Center ($0.2 million) and at Waterfront Plaza ($0.2 million), increases in real property taxes at Pan Am Building ($0.1 million) and Waterfront Plaza ($0.1 million) and an increase in bad debt expense at Waterfront Plaza ($0.4 million), partially offset by reimbursements received for janitorial maintenance expenses at Davies Pacific Center ($0.3 million) and a decrease in general excise taxes due to a refund at Waterfront Plaza ($0.1 million) in the current year period.

General and administrative expense. Total general and administrative expense increased by $0.2 million, or 12.6%, primarily due to an increase in professional services fees compared to the prior year period.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Total depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.1 million, or 1.1%, primarily due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses at Davies Pacific Center ($0.3 million) as a result of assets being fully depreciated, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expenses at Waterfront Plaza ($0.2 million) primarily due to write-offs in the current year period of tenant improvements related to tenants at Waterfront Plaza that vacated their leased premises early.

Interest expense. Total interest expense increased by $1.5 million, or 6.9%, primarily due to increases in loan amortization fees related to the new loan attributable to Davies Pacific Center ($0.3 million), Pan Am Building ($0.5 million) and Waterfront Plaza ($0.4 million) and an increase in accrued interest on the unsecured notes payable to current and former related parties ($0.3 million) as compared to the prior year period.

Equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures

Equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures increased by $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to the gain on sale of the Pacific Business News Building property in March 2017.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase was primarily the result of a decrease in funds deposited to our restricted cash reserve accounts for operating activities, as compared to the prior year, pursuant to certain provisions of our mortgage loan agreement entered into in August 2016 ($2.2 million), decreases in interest payments ($0.3 million) and prepayments ($1.0 million) as compared to the prior year period, deferring payment of the Company’s quarterly advisory fees in order to preserve cash in the current year period ($0.7 million) and insurance reimbursements related to janitorial maintenance expenses received in the current year period ($0.3 million).

Net cash used in investing activities was $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in funds deposited to our restricted cash reserve accounts used for capital expenditures ($9.0 million), as compared to the prior year period, pursuant to certain provisions of our mortgage loan agreement entered into in August 2016 and a distribution from one of our joint ventures which sold the Pacific Business News Building property in March 2017 ($1.9 million), partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures ($2.2 million) as compared to the prior year period.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to proceeds from our mortgage loan ($280.5 million) and borrowings from a related party ($3.0 million) in the prior year period, partially offset by a decrease in repayment of mortgage loans ($265.8 million) compared to the prior year period and refinancing costs of our mortgage loans ($6.1 million) and Senior Common Stock dividends ($0.9 million) paid in the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain our assets and operations, make distributions to our stockholders and other general business needs. In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our stockholders, each calendar year, at least 90% of our REIT taxable income. As discussed further below, however, we did not declare dividends on our Class A Common Stock during fiscal 2017 and 2016, and we do not currently expect to declare dividends on our Senior Common Stock or our Class A Common Stock during fiscal 2018.

Our business is capital intensive and our ability to maintain our operations depends on our cash flow from operations and our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms. Our primary focus is to preserve and generate cash.

We expect that our funds from operations, including existing cash on hand, will be insufficient to meet working capital requirements and to fund required capital expenditures and leasing costs through the first quarter of 2019. Accordingly, we expect that we may need to contribute existing properties to joint ventures with third parties or raise additional capital, either from debt or equity. We also intend to mitigate any capital project overages and continue to request the maximum amount of reimbursements from our reserves on a timely basis. We may also consider strategic alternatives, including a sale, merger, other business combination or recapitalization, of the Company.

In March 2017, we completed the sale of our Pacific Business News Building joint venture property to an unrelated third party. See Note 12 for more discussion on the sale of our Pacific Business News Building joint venture property.

While we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain liquidity needs, there may be unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which would affect our financial condition and results of operations. For example, we may be required to comply with new laws or regulations that cause us to incur unanticipated capital expenditures for our properties, thereby increasing our liquidity needs. Even if there are no material changes to our anticipated liquidity requirements, our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or needed.

Actual and Potential Sources of Liquidity

Listed below are our actual and potential sources of liquidity in the near term:


•	Unrestricted and restricted cash on hand;


•	Net cash flow generated from operations;


•	Distributions from joint ventures; and/or


•	Asset dispositions.

These sources are essential to our short-term liquidity and financial position, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully access them. If we are unable to generate adequate cash from these sources, we will have liquidity-related problems and may be exposed to significant risks. For a further discussion of such risks, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Unrestricted and restricted cash on hand

As of December 31, 2017, we had $1.6 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. In addition, we had restricted cash balances of $12.4 million. A summary of our restricted cash reserves is as follows (in thousands):



	December 31, 2017
Leasing and capital expenditure reserves	$	6,681
Ground lease reserves	—
Tax, insurance and other working capital reserves	2,095
Collateral accounts	1,747
Tenant security deposits	1,895
Total restricted cash	$	12,418

The leasing and capital expenditure, ground lease, tax, insurance and other working capital reserves and collateral accounts are held in restricted accounts by our lenders in accordance with the terms of our mortgage loan. These restricted cash accounts are expected to fund (1) anticipated leasing expenditures (primarily commissions and tenant improvement costs) for existing and prospective tenants, (2) non-recurring discretionary capital expenditures, (3) payments for properties subject to ground leases, (4) property taxes and insurance and (5) other obligations. We maintain our tenant security deposits in a separate account at our financial institution.

Net cash flow generated from operations

Our cash flows from operations depend significantly on market rents and the ability of our tenants to make rental payments. While we believe the diversity and high credit quality of our tenants help mitigate the risk of a significant interruption of our cash flows from operations, the challenging Honolulu office market conditions that we are continuing to experience, increases in interest rates, or the possibility of a downturn or return to recessionary conditions could adversely impact our operating cash flows. Competition to attract and retain high credit-quality tenants remains intense. At the same time, a significant number of our leases at our properties are scheduled to expire over the next several years, and the capital requirements necessary to maintain our current occupancy levels, including payment of leasing commissions, tenant concessions, and anticipated leasing expenditures, could increase. As such, we will continue to closely monitor our tenant renewals, rental rates, competitive market conditions and our cash flows.

Distributions from joint ventures

In March 2017, the Pacific Business News Building property, located in Honolulu, Hawaii, was sold to an unaffiliated third party. Net proceeds from the sale of the property, which was owned by one of our unconsolidated joint ventures, were used to repay the mortgage note payable and other transaction related expenses, and then distributed to the members of the joint venture, including us. Our share of the final distributed net proceeds amounted to $2.0 million.

Following the sale of the Pacific Business News Building property, we are currently partners with third parties in two joint ventures, holding one office property and a sports club associated with that property in Phoenix, Arizona. Distributions from our joint ventures depend significantly on our joint ventures’ ability to generate positive cash flow from their rental operations or the sale of properties held by them. Our joint ventures’ ability to successfully manage their operations or identify, negotiate and close sale transactions on acceptable terms or at all is uncertain.

Asset dispositions

In the near term or longer term, we may seek to raise additional capital by selling some or all of our existing wholly-owned assets, but we have a limited number of assets that could be sold to generate net cash proceeds and our ability to do so on acceptable terms or at all is highly uncertain.

As a result of the sale of our First Insurance Center property in June 2012, certain contract parties holding ownership interests in the contributor of First Insurance claimed they were entitled to a make-whole cash payment under tax protection agreements relating to the property. In February 2014, we issued subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $8.3 million in settlement of the majority of such claims, and paid cash settlements totaling approximately $0.4 million in settlement of the remainder of such claims. Each party receiving a promissory note or cash payment released us from any other claims under the tax protection agreements arising out of the sale of the First Insurance Center property and the foreclosure of our Sorrento Technology Center property in January 2012, as applicable. See “Indebtedness - Subordinated Promissory Notes” below for additional information regarding the terms of these promissory notes.

In March 2017, one of our unconsolidated joint ventures sold the Pacific Business News Building property, located in Honolulu, Hawaii, to an unaffiliated third party. We originally contributed the Pacific Business News Building to our unconsolidated joint venture in April 2011. As a result of the sale, certain contract parties may claim they are entitled to a make-whole cash payment under tax protection agreements relating to the property. We believe that liability under these tax protection agreements is not reasonably estimable since such estimates are contingent upon actual tax losses incurred by the contract parties which is not yet available at this time and accordingly, have not accrued any amounts for any such liability.

In August 2016, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell our Pan Am Building property, located in Honolulu, Hawaii, to a third party buyer for cash consideration of $78.5 million. The completion of the sale transaction is expected to occur no later than August 13, 2018. See Note 8 for more discussion on the new loan agreement and Note 12 for the contemplated sale of our Pan Am Building.

Actual and Potential Uses of Liquidity

The following are the actual and potential uses of our cash in the near term. There may be other uses of our cash that are unexpected (and that are not identified below):


•	Property operating and corporate expenses;


•	Capital expenditures (including building and tenant improvements and leasing commissions); and/or


•	Debt service and financing costs.

Property operating and corporate expenses

We are focused on ensuring our properties are operating as efficiently as possible. We have taken steps to identify opportunities to reduce discretionary operating costs wherever possible and at the same time maintaining the quality of our buildings and the integrity of our management services. We have no employees and rely upon our advisor to provide substantially all of our day-to-day management. We believe that Shidler Pacific Advisors can provide adequate personnel resources, at lower cost to us, for our current and prospective business.

Capital expenditures (including building and tenant improvements and leasing commissions)

Capital expenditures fluctuate in any given period, subject to the nature, extent and timing of improvements required to maintain our properties. Leasing costs also fluctuate in any given period, depending upon such factors as the type of property, the term of the lease, the type of lease and overall market conditions. Our costs for capital expenditures and leasing fall into two categories: (1) amounts that we are contractually obligated to spend and (2) discretionary amounts. As of December 31, 2017, we had cash reserves of $6.7 million to fund capital expenditures and leasing costs, of which we were contractually obligated to spend $6.0 million and other projected obligations of $2.0 million through 2018.

The following table summarizes tenant improvement and leasing commission costs related to new and renewed leases of our wholly-owned properties:



	For the year ended December 31, 2017
	New Leases		Renewed Leases		Total Leases
Square feet	29,757		143,696		173,453
Tenant improvement costs per square foot⁽¹⁾	$	8.03	$	11.03	$	10.52
Leasing commission costs per square foot	6.73		3.38		3.95
Total tenant improvement and leasing commission costs	$	14.76	$	14.41	$	14.47

___________________________


(1)	Based on the negotiated tenant improvement cost budget at the time of lease execution, which may be incurred in a subsequent year and different than actual costs incurred.

Debt service and financing costs

As of December 31, 2017, our total consolidated debt (which includes our mortgage and other loans with a carrying value of $301.2 million and our unsecured promissory notes with a carrying value of $32.4 million) was $333.6 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.61% and a weighted average remaining term of 1.68 years. See “Indebtedness” below for additional information with respect to our consolidated debt.

In August 2016, we entered into a new loan agreement, the proceeds of which were used to repay in full the existing

mortgage loans that were scheduled to mature on various dates in 2016. See Note 8 for more discussion on the new loan agreement.

Dividends or Other Distributions

We did not declare a dividend on our Class A Common Stock during 2017, and do not currently expect to declare a dividend on our Class A Common Stock in 2018. Furthermore, our Operating Partnership did not pay a distribution with respect to its outstanding Preferred Units or Common Units during 2017, and does not expect to do so for 2018. As noted above, unless full cumulative distributions have been paid on the outstanding Senior Common Units and Preferred Units, our Operating Partnership may not pay a distribution on its outstanding Common Units (including us with respect to our general partnership interest), which effectively means that we will be unable to pay dividends or other distributions on our Class A Common Stock unless and until all cumulative dividends and distributions have been paid with respect to the Senior Common Stock and the Preferred Units.

For the year ended December 31, 2016 , we paid an aggregate of $0.9 million in cash dividends to holders of our Senior Common Stock, representing an amount equal to half the dividends accruing for such period at the stated annualized rate of 7.25% of the original issue price of $10.00 per share. Dividends declared for each month during such period were paid on or about the 15^th day of the following month. Beginning December 2016, we ceased payment of dividends on the Senior Common Stock and accordingly did not pay any dividends on the Senior Common Stock for the year ended December 31, 2017. The difference between the stated dividend and the paid dividend on our outstanding shares of Senior Common Stock (which amounted to $5.0 million in aggregate as of December 31, 2017) will accrue until paid in full, although we do not currently expect to resume the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future.

At December 31, 2017, the cumulative unpaid distributions attributable to Preferred Units were $15.9 million, which we do not anticipate to pay in 2018.

We do not currently expect that we will be able to resume the payment of dividends (including dividends on our Senior Common Stock) in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends or other distributions in the future will depend upon our legal and contractual restrictions, including the provisions of the Senior Common Stock, as well as actual results of operations, economic conditions, debt service requirements and other factors. Our actual results of operations will be affected by a number of factors, including the revenue we receive from our properties, our operating expenses, interest expense, the ability of our tenants to meet their obligations and unanticipated expenditures. For a further discussion of such risks, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Mortgage and Other Loans

The following table sets forth information relating to our borrowings with respect to our consolidated property loan and our revolving line of credit as of December 31, 2017:



	Amount			Maturity Date
Consolidated property loan⁽¹⁾	$	279,051		8/11/2019
Revolving line of credit⁽²⁾	25,000			12/31/2019
Outstanding principal balance	304,051
Less: unamortized deferred loan fees, net	(2,870		)
Mortgage and other loans, net	$	301,181

___________________________

(1)

The loan is subject to monthly interest payments bearing interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the One-Month LIBOR Rate plus 4.5% and monthly partial principal payments based on the availability of cash after making required distributions for operating costs and reserves pursuant to a payment waterfall and other terms and conditions under the new loan agreement. The loan may be prepaid in whole prior to its maturity date, subject to a spread maintenance prepayment premium and by providing a 30-day prepayment notice and complying with certain prepayment conditions. As of December 31, 2017, the applicable One-Month LIBOR Rate was 1.432%.

(2)

Amounts borrowed under the revolving line of credit require monthly interest only payments at a fluctuating annual rate equal to the effective rate of interest paid by the lender on time certificates of deposit, plus 1.00% and a balloon principal payment at maturity. As of December 31, 2017, the effective rate of interest paid by the lender on time certificates of deposit was 0.10%. See “Revolving Line of Credit” below.

In August 2016, our wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a new loan agreement, the proceeds of which were used to repay in full the existing mortgage loans that were scheduled to mature at various dates commencing August 11, 2016 through November 11, 2016 and to fund leasing and capital expenditure reserves. The new loan agreement contains customary covenants including, among other things, restrictions on the ability to incur additional indebtedness, transfer or dispose of assets, create liens and make certain investments. Our obligations under the new loan agreement are secured by mortgages on the leasehold and fee (as applicable) interests in all of our wholly-owned properties as well as assignments of all leases, rents, contracts, revenues, permits and service agreements with respect to the properties and ownership interests in all equity interests and accounts of the borrowers. The loan is non-recourse to our Operating Partnership, except for customary recourse carve-outs for borrower misconduct and environmental liabilities. The recourse liability for borrower misconduct and environmental liabilities was guaranteed by Mr. Shidler. Our Operating Partnership has agreed to indemnify Mr. Shidler to the extent of his guaranty liability.

In connection with the new loan agreement, in August 2016, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell our Pan Am Building property, located in Honolulu, Hawaii, to one of the lenders under the new loan agreement, for cash consideration of $78.5 million. The completion of the sale transaction is expected to occur no later than August 13, 2018. See Note 10 for more discussion on the tax protection arrangements. In the event the sale of the Pan Am Building property does not close on or prior to August 13, 2018 due to a default by the buyer, we have the right to tender a deed to the Pan Am Building property to the other lenders under the new loan agreement, subject to the mortgage and the assignment of leases on the Pan Am Building property, in which case the principal amount of the new loan agreement would be reduced by $78.5 million.

Revolving Line of Credit

We are party to a Credit Agreement (the “FHB Credit Facility”) with First Hawaiian Bank (the “Lender”) which provides us with a revolving line of credit in the maximum principal amount of $25.0 million and has a maturity date of December 31, 2019. Amounts borrowed under the FHB Credit Facility bear interest at a fluctuating annual rate equal to the effective rate of interest paid by the Lender on time certificates of deposit, plus 1.00%. We are permitted to use the proceeds of the

line of credit for working capital and general corporate purposes, consistent with our real estate operations and for such other purposes as the Lender may approve. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had outstanding borrowings of $25.0 million under the FHB Credit Facility.

As security for the FHB Credit Facility, as amended, Shidler LP has pledged to the Lender a certificate of deposit in the principal amount of $25.0 million. As a condition to this pledge, the Operating Partnership and Shidler LP entered into an indemnification agreement pursuant to which the Operating Partnership agreed to indemnify Shidler LP from any losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred by Shidler LP in connection with the pledge. In addition, to the extent that all or any portion of the certificate of deposit is withdrawn by the Lender and applied to the payment of principal, interest and/or charges under the FHB Credit Facility, the Operating Partnership agreed to pay to Shidler LP interest on the withdrawn amount at a rate of 7.0% per annum from the date of the withdrawal until the date of repayment in full by the Operating Partnership to Shidler LP. Pursuant to this indemnification agreement, as amended, the Operating Partnership also agreed to pay to Shidler LP an annual fee of 2.0% of the entire $25.0 million principal amount of the certificate of deposit.

The FHB Credit Facility contains various customary covenants, including covenants relating to disclosure of financial and other information to the Lender, maintenance and performance of our material contracts, our maintenance of adequate insurance, payment of the Lender’s fees and expenses, and other customary terms and conditions.

Subordinated Promissory Notes

At December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had promissory notes payable by the Operating Partnership to certain current and former affiliates in the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of $32.4 million.

In 2008, we issued $21.1 million of promissory notes as consideration for having funded certain capital improvements prior to the completion of our formation transactions and upon the exercise of an option granted to us by POP Venture, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company controlled by Mr. Shidler, which we refer to as Venture, and its affiliates as part of our formation transactions in 2008. The promissory notes accrue interest at a rate of 7%, per annum, with interest payable quarterly, subject to the Operating Partnership’s right to defer the payment of interest for any or all periods until the date of maturity. The promissory notes were originally scheduled to mature on various dates commencing on March 19, 2013 through August 31, 2013, but the Operating Partnership elected to extend maturity for one additional year. The maturity date of these promissory notes has subsequently been extended to December 31, 2019.

In February 2014, we issued to certain current and former affiliates additional promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $8.3 million to settle claims under tax protection agreements relating to the sale of our First Insurance Center property in 2012. See “Tax Protection Arrangements” in Note 10 for additional information. These promissory notes accrue interest at a rate of 5% per annum, with interest payable quarterly, subject to the Operating Partnership’s right to defer the payment of interest for any or all periods until the date of maturity, and were originally scheduled to mature on December 31, 2015. The maturity date of these promissory notes has subsequently been extended to December 31, 2019.

In September 2016, we issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $3.0 million to Shidler LP in consideration of a loan in that amount made by Shidler LP to the Operating Partnership. The promissory note accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum, with interest payable quarterly, subject to the Operating Partnership’s right to defer the payment of interest for any or all periods until the date of maturity. The promissory note was originally scheduled to mature on December 31, 2017. The maturity date of this promissory note has subsequently been extended to December 31, 2019.

The maturity of the Operating Partnership’s promissory notes will accelerate upon the occurrence of an underwritten public offering of at least $75 million of the Company’s common stock, the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or the merger or consolidation of the Company with another entity. The promissory notes are unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and (except for the September 2016 note) are subordinated to borrowings under the FHB Credit Facility and our indemnification obligations to Shidler LP in connection with its pledge in support of the FHB Credit Facility.

For the period from March 20, 2008 through December 31, 2017, interest payments on these unsecured notes payable have been deferred with the exception of $0.3 million which was related to the notes exchanged for shares of common stock in 2009. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, $23.0 million and $19.1 million, respectively, of accrued interest primarily attributable to these promissory notes is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The mortgage debt outstanding under our new loan agreement is non-recourse to our Operating Partnership, except for customary recourse carve-outs for borrower misconduct and environmental liabilities. The recourse liability for borrower misconduct and environmental liabilities was guaranteed by Mr. Shidler. Our Operating Partnership has agreed to indemnify Mr. Shidler to the extent of his guaranty liability. In management’s judgment, it would be unlikely for us to incur any material liability under these indemnities that would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Inflation

We are exposed to inflation risk, as income from long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. Because the majority of our leases require tenants to pay most operating expenses, including real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, and increases in common area maintenance expenses, we do not believe our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation is material. Furthermore, the majority of our existing leases contain contractual annual rental rate increases, which will at least partially offset the effect of inflation on our operating results.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, in connection with the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2017, the end of the period covered by this report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (“COSO”) in Internal Controls - Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on these criteria.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation referenced above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B. - OTHER INFORMATION

PART III

ITEM 10. - DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Information Regarding Directors and Executive Officers

The following biographical descriptions set forth certain information with respect to our directors and our executive officers (neither of whom are directors), based on information furnished to us by each director and executive officer as of February 2018. Each executive officer holds office until the regular meeting of the board of directors following the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.

Directors

Jay H. Shidler, 71, has been Chairman of our board of directors since March 2008. Mr. Shidler is the founder and Managing Partner of The Shidler Group, a national real estate investment firm. Since forming The Shidler Group in 1972, Mr. Shidler and his affiliates have acquired and managed over 2,000 properties in 40 states and Canada. Mr. Shidler has founded and has been the initial investor in numerous public and private companies. In addition to the Company, these include three other public REITs - TriNet Corporate Realty Trust, Inc. (formerly NYSE: TRI), now part of iStar Financial; First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: FR), and Corporate Office Properties Trust (NYSE: OFC). Mr. Shidler served as Chairman of the board of trustees of Corporate Office Properties Trust from October 1997 through May 2013 and as a trustee until May 2014. Mr. Shidler also served as Chairman of the board of directors of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. from 1993 through January 2009, and as a director until May 2010. Mr. Shidler is an active supporter of a number of educational, cultural and charitable organizations. He received a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Hawaii. In honor of Mr. Shidler, in 2006, the University of Hawaii renamed its business school the Shidler College of Business.

We believe that Mr. Shidler’s demonstrated board leadership, significant expertise in the field of real estate investment and finance and his experience with public REITs is invaluable to us, and highly qualifies him as a member of our board of directors.

Michael W. Brennan, 61, has been a member of our board of directors since March 2008.

From 1999 to 2008, Mr. Brennan served as President, Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: FR) and from 1994, the year he co-founded First Industrial, to 1999, he served as its Chief Operating Officer and Chief Acquisitions Officer. Mr. Brennan joined The Shidler Group as its principal acquisitions executive in 1986 and was named partner of its Mid-West region in 1988.

Corporate Governance - Board of Directors

We are externally advised by Shidler Pacific Advisors, LLC, referred to as Shidler Pacific Advisors or our Advisor, an entity that is owned and controlled by Jay H. Shidler, our Chairman of the Board. Our day-to-day operations are managed by Shidler Pacific Advisors under the ultimate oversight and direction of our board of directors. The board reviews management’s strategy, approves and implements governance policies, monitors its own performance and the performance of top management, and provides oversight of financial reporting and legal compliance.

Our board of directors is currently comprised of two directors. In light of its small size, our board has determined that it is appropriate for the board of directors as a whole to fulfill the functions typically delegated to committees. As such, we do not have an audit committee (or an audit committee financial expert serving on such committee), a compensation committee or a nominating committee.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file.

To the best of the Company’s knowledge and based solely on written representations that no reports were required, no officers, directors or greater than 10% beneficial owners failed to file, on a timely basis, any Forms 3, 4 or 5 during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our directors, officers and employees (if any) are governed by the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics, which is available on our website at http://www.pacificofficeproperties.com and in print free of charge to any stockholder that requests it. Amendments to, or waivers from, a provision of the code of business conduct and ethics will be posted to the Company’s website promptly following the date of the amendment or waiver.

ITEM 11. - EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We do not pay meeting fees to our directors, although our directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with their services as directors. Neither of the directors named in the table below held any outstanding equity awards as of December 31, 2017.

We are externally advised by Shidler Pacific Advisors and have no employees of our own. We do not, and did not at any time during the years ended December 31, 2017 or 2016, compensate our executive officers for their service in such capacity, and we do not currently intend to pay any compensation directly to our executive officers. As a result, we do not have, and our board of directors has not considered, a compensation policy or program for our executive officers.

In accordance with our Advisory Agreement with Shidler Pacific Advisors, Shidler Pacific Advisors manages, operates and administers our day-to-day operations, business and affairs, for which it receives a management fee and is entitled to certain other fees. Our executive officers are officers of Shidler Pacific Advisors and are compensated by Shidler Pacific Advisors. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” in Part III, Item 13 below for a discussion of fees and expenses paid to Shidler Pacific Advisors.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End 2017

Neither of our executive officers held any outstanding equity awards at December 31, 2017. We do not currently, and did not as of December 31, 2017, have an equity compensation plan for the benefit of our directors, our executive officers or employees of Shidler Pacific Advisors.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our charter and the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership provide for indemnification of our directors and officers against liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If a director or officer is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any proceeding by reason of such director’s or officer’s status as a director or officer, we must indemnify such director or officer for all expenses and liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by him or her, or on his or her behalf, unless it has been established that:


•	the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;


•	the director or officer received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or


•	in the case of a criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

In the event of any amendment to the Maryland General Corporation Law, or MGCL, permitting us to provide broader indemnification rights than are currently set forth in our charter, such rights would be provided to the fullest extent required or permitted by the MGCL as so amended. Any amendment of the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership related to the indemnification of our directors and officers will be prospective only and will not affect our existing indemnification obligations to our directors or officers.

ITEM 13. - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

We are externally advised by Shidler Pacific Advisors, an entity that is owned and controlled by Mr. Shidler, our Chairman of the Board. Under our Advisory Agreement with Shidler Pacific Advisors, Shidler Pacific Advisors is responsible for the day-to-day operation and management of the Company and the Operating Partnership in accordance with guidelines established by our board of directors.

For performing services under the Advisory Agreement, during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, Shidler Pacific Advisors was entitled to:


•	a corporate management fee of $175,000 per quarter, which was payable in arrears on a quarterly basis; and


•	real property asset management and related fees for performing real property management and related services for the Company.

Real property asset management and related fees payable are required to be based on the prevailing market rates for similar services provided on an arms-length basis in the area in which the subject property is located, and must be approved by a majority of our directors who are not employees of the Company or Shidler Pacific Advisors. The Advisory Agreement is terminable by either party on 90 days’ notice.

The fees that were earned by Shidler Pacific Advisors, as described above, are summarized in the table below (in thousands):



	For the year ended December 31,
	2017		2016
Property management⁽¹⁾	$	1,913	$	2,004
Corporate management	700		700
Construction management and other	97		125
Total	$	2,710	$	2,829

___________________________


(1)	Property management fees are calculated as a percentage of the rental cash receipts collected by the properties (ranging from 2.5% to 3.0%), plus the payroll costs of on-site employees.

Shidler Pacific Advisors leased space from us at certain of our wholly-owned properties for building management and corporate offices. The rents from these leases totaled $0.6 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. At December 31, 2017, we owed Shidler Pacific Advisors $1.1 million, primarily related to deferred corporate management fees.

Unsecured Notes Payable to Current and Former Related Persons

We have outstanding promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $32.4 million payable by the Operating Partnership to certain current and former related persons.

In 2008, we issued promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $21.1 million as consideration for having funded certain capital improvements prior to the completion of our formation transactions and upon the exercise of an option granted to us as part of our formation transactions in 2008. These promissory notes accrue interest at a rate of 7% per annum, with interest payable quarterly, subject to the Operating Partnership’s right to defer the payment of interest for any or all periods until the date of maturity. These promissory notes were originally scheduled to mature on various dates commencing on March 19, 2013 through August 31, 2013, but we elected to extend maturity for one additional year. The maturity date of these promissory notes has subsequently been extended to December 31, 2019.

Based on their respective ownership in the entities holding these promissory notes, the aggregate principal amount attributable to each of Messrs. Shidler (our Chairman of the Board), James C. Reynolds (who beneficially owns approximately 12% of our Class A Common Stock), James R. Ingebritsen (our former Chief Executive Officer), Matthew J. Root (our former Chief Investment Officer) and Lawrence J. Taff (our current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) was $6.8 million, $6.1 million, $2.7 million, $2.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Interests in the remaining $0.8 million are held by entities controlled by Mr. Reynolds.

In February 2014, we issued promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $8.3 million to settle claims under tax protection agreements relating to the sale of our First Insurance Center property in 2012. The notes were issued to the following persons or to entities controlled by such persons in the following principal amounts: Mr. Shidler ($2.0 million), Mr. Taff ($1.1 million), Mr. Reynolds ($2.7 million), Mr. Ingebritsen ($1.3 million) and Mr. Root ($1.3 million). These promissory notes accrue interest at a rate of 5% per annum, with interest payable quarterly, subject to the Operating Partnership’s right to defer the payment of interest for any or all periods until the date of maturity, and were originally scheduled to mature on December 31, 2015. The maturity date of these promissory notes has subsequently been extended to December 31, 2019.

The maturity of the Operating Partnership’s outstanding promissory notes will accelerate upon the occurrence of an underwritten public offering of at least $75 million of our common stock, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or our merger or consolidation with another entity. The promissory notes are unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and (except for the September 2016 note) are subordinated to the Operating Partnership’s existing credit facility with First Hawaiian Bank as well as the Operating Partnership’s indemnification obligations to Shidler LP in connection with security pledged by Shidler LP in support of the existing credit facility.

For the period from March 20, 2008 through December 31, 2017, interest payments on these promissory notes have been deferred with the exception of $0.3 million which was related to a portion of the notes exchanged for Class A Common Stock in 2009. At December 31, 2017, accrued and unpaid interest payable to current and former related parties totaled $23.0 million.

Indemnification Agreements

As security for the Operating Partnership’s credit agreement with First Hawaiian Bank, Shidler LP pledged to First Hawaiian Bank a certificate of deposit in the principal amount of $25 million. As a condition to the pledge, the Operating Partnership and Shidler LP entered into an indemnification agreement pursuant to which the Operating Partnership agreed to indemnify Shidler LP from any losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred by Shidler LP in connection with the pledge. In addition, to the extent that all or any portion of the certificate of deposit is withdrawn by First Hawaiian Bank and applied to the payment of principal, interest and/or charges under the credit agreement, the Operating Partnership agreed to pay to Shidler LP interest on the withdrawn amount at a rate of 7.00% per annum from the date of the withdrawal until the date of repayment in full by the Operating Partnership to Shidler LP. Pursuant to the indemnification agreement, the Operating Partnership also agreed to pay to Shidler LP an annual fee of 2.00% of the entire $25 million principal amount of the certificate of deposit. During each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $0.5 million to Shidler LP pursuant to this agreement. As of December 31, 2017, we have accrued approximately $0.9 million of interest payments owed to Shidler LP for this annual fee.

Director Independence

Our board is comprised of two directors, Messrs. Shidler and Brennan, one of whom - Mr. Brennan - is an “independent” director under the listing standards of the NYSE MKT.

ITEM 14. - PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Fees

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees of our principal accountant, Ernst & Young LLP, for professional services rendered on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries for fiscal years 2017 and 2016, as well as all out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with these services (amounts in thousands):

	2017		2016

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Company’s board of directors, which serves as the audit committee, reviews the scope and extent of all audit and non-audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm and reviews and pre-approves all fees to be charged for such services. In pre-approving services to be provided by the independent auditors, the board of directors considers whether such services are consistent with applicable rules regarding auditor independence.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, equity (cumulative deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company expects that funds from operations, including existing cash on hand, will be insufficient to meet its working capital requirements and capital and tenant improvements obligations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2009.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Ownership, Presentation and Going Concern

Pacific Office Properties -

The terms “Pacific Office Properties,” “us,” “we,” and “our” as used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K refer to Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries and joint ventures. Through our controlling interest in Pacific Office Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, we own and operate primarily institutional-quality office properties in Hawaii. We operate in a manner that permits us to satisfy the requirements for taxation as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

Through our Operating Partnership, as of December 31, 2017, we owned three office properties, comprising 1.2 million rentable square feet in Honolulu, Hawaii, and were partners with third parties in joint ventures holding one office property and a sports club associated with that property in Phoenix, Arizona. Our ownership interest percentage in these joint ventures is 5.0%.

References to square footage, occupancy or number of properties or buildings made within the notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included herein are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the account balances and transactions of consolidated subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We incurred net losses of $13.8 million and $14.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and have incurred cumulative net losses since inception of $256.8 million. At December 31, 2016, there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern primarily because we expected our funds from operations, including existing cash on hand, would be insufficient to meet our working capital requirements and capital and tenant improvement obligations. As of December 31, 2017, we still expect that our funds from operations, including existing cash on hand, will be insufficient to meet working capital requirements and to fund required capital expenditures and leasing costs through the first quarter of 2019. This condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional capital on acceptable terms or generating sufficient cash flow to continue operations. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in these efforts. We expect that we may need to contribute existing properties to joint ventures with third parties or raise additional capital, either from debt or equity. We also intend to mitigate any capital project overages and continue to request the maximum amount of reimbursements from our reserves on a timely basis. We may also consider strategic alternatives, including a sale, merger, other business combination or recapitalization, of the Company.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going

concern. We believe that our actions presently being taken to implement our strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in these efforts.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Liquidity

We expect that our funds from operations, including existing cash on hand, will be insufficient to meet working capital requirements and to fund required capital expenditures and leasing costs through the first quarter of 2019. Accordingly, we expect that we may need to contribute existing properties to joint ventures with third parties or raise additional capital, either from debt or equity. We also intend to mitigate any capital project overages and continue to request the maximum amount of reimbursements of our reserves on a timely basis. We may also consider strategic alternatives, including a sale, merger, other business combination or recapitalization, of the Company.

In August 2016, we entered into (1) a new loan agreement, the proceeds of which were used to repay in full the existing mortgage loans that were scheduled to mature on various dates in 2016 and (2) a purchase and sale agreement to sell our Pan Am Building property, located in Honolulu, Hawaii. The completion of the sale transaction is expected to occur no later than August 13, 2018. See Note 8 for more discussion on the new loan agreement, Note 12 for more discussion on the contemplated sale of our Pan Am Building and Note 10 for more discussion on the tax protection arrangements.

Capital expenditures fluctuate in any given period, subject to the nature, extent and timing of improvements required to maintain our properties. Leasing costs also fluctuate in any given period, depending upon such factors as the type of property, the term of the lease, the type of lease and overall market conditions. Our costs for capital expenditures and leasing fall into two categories: (1) amounts that we are contractually obligated to spend and (2) discretionary amounts. As of December 31, 2017, we had cash reserves of $6.7 million to fund capital expenditures and leasing costs, of which we were contractually obligated to spend $6.0 million with other projected discretionary obligations of $2.0 million through 2018.

As of December 31, 2017, we had a fully-drawn $25.0 million unsecured credit facility scheduled to mature on December 31, 2019. We also had promissory notes payable to certain current and former affiliates in the aggregate outstanding principal

amount of $32.4 million (together with accrued and unpaid interest of $23.0 million) scheduled to mature the earlier of (i) December 31, 2019 and (ii) the date on which the Operating Partnership has fully satisfied, or is released from, any liability under its indemnification agreement with Shidler LP relating to the security pledge by Shidler LP in support of our revolving credit facility.

Investments in Real Estate

We account for acquisitions of real estate utilizing the purchase method and, accordingly, the results of operations of acquired properties are included in our results of operations from the respective dates of acquisition.

Fair value is assigned to below-market leases based on the difference between (a) the contractual amounts to be paid by the tenant based on the existing lease and (b) management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, over the remaining terms of the in-place leases. Capitalized below-market lease amounts are reflected in “Acquired below-market leases, net,” in the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized as an increase in rental revenue over the remaining initial non-cancellable lease terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options that are considered bargain renewal options. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance, net of the security deposit, of the related intangible is written off.

(c) the value associated with lost rental revenue from existing leases during the assumed lease-up period; and (d) the value associated with any other inducements to secure a tenant lease. The value assigned to acquired in-place leases is amortized over the remaining lives of the related leases.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, we assess the potential for impairment of our long-lived assets, including real estate properties, whenever events occur or a change in circumstances indicate that the recorded carrying value might not be fully recoverable. Indicators of potential impairment include significant decreases in occupancy levels and/or rental rates or a change in strategy that results in a decreased holding period. We determine whether impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and excluding interest, expected from the use and eventual disposition of the asset to its carrying value. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, the real estate or intangible carrying value is reduced to fair value and impairment loss is recognized. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. No impairment charges for our wholly-owned properties were recorded for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Our investments in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting because we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, our joint ventures. Our joint venture partners have substantive participating rights, including approval of and participation in setting operating budgets. Accordingly, we have determined that the equity method of accounting is appropriate for our investments in joint ventures.

Impairment of Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures is subject to a periodic impairment review and is considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. An investment in an unconsolidated joint venture that we identify as having an indicator of impairment is subject to further analysis to determine if the investment is other than temporarily impaired, in which case we write down the investment to its estimated fair value. No impairment charges were recorded in our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Discontinued Operations

The revenue, expenses, impairment and/or gain or loss on sale of operating properties that meet the applicable criteria of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations. A gain on sale, if any, is recognized in the period the property is disposed of.

Goodwill

We record the excess cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each calendar year, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that a possible impairment has occurred. The assessment of impairment involves a two-step process whereby an initial assessment for potential impairment is performed, followed by a measurement of the amount of impairment, if any. Impairment testing is performed using the fair value approach, which requires the use of estimates and judgment, at the “reporting unit” level. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business that is one level below the operating segment if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management at that level. The reporting unit’s fair value is calculated as the discounted future cash flows based on management’s best estimate of the applicable capitalization and discount rates. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. An impairment charge is recognized as a charge against income equal to the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied value on the date of the impairment. Factors that may cause goodwill to be impaired include, but may not be limited to, a sustained decline in our stock price and the occurrence, or sustained existence, of adverse economic conditions or decreased cash flow from our properties.

Revenue Recognition

The following four criteria must be met before we recognize revenue and gains:


•	persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;


•	the delivery has occurred or services rendered;


•	the fee is fixed and determinable; and


•	collectability is reasonably assured.

Rental revenue from parking operations and month-to-month leases or leases with no scheduled rent increases or other adjustments is recognized on a monthly basis when earned.

“Other” revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations generally includes income incidental to our operations and is recognized when earned.

Tenant Receivables

Tenant receivables are recorded and carried at the amount billable per the applicable lease agreement, less any allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amounts is no longer considered probable. Tenant receivables are included in “Rents and other receivables, net,” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If a tenant fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, we may recognize bad debt expense in future periods equal to the amount of unpaid rent. We take into consideration factors including historical termination, default activity and current economic conditions to evaluate the level of reserve necessary. We had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.5 million and $0.2 million, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We had a total of $1.9 million and $1.8 million of lease security available in security deposits, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all short-term cash investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents due to its restriction on withdrawal or use.

We maintain cash balances in various financial institutions. At times, the amounts of cash held in financial institutions may exceed the maximum amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. We do not believe that we are exposed to any significant credit risk on our cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily includes escrow accounts for real property taxes, insurance, capital expenditures, tenant improvements, ground lease payments, leasing commissions held by our lenders and tenant security deposits.

Mortgage and Other Loans

Mortgage and other loans assumed upon acquisition of related real estate properties are stated at estimated fair value upon their respective dates of assumption, net of unamortized discounts or premiums and deferred loan fees to their outstanding contractual balances. Amortization of discount and the accretion of premiums on mortgage and other loans assumed upon acquisition of related real estate properties are recognized from the date of assumption through their contractual maturity date using the straight line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Deferred loan fees include fees and costs incurred in conjunction with long-term financings and are amortized over the terms of the related debt using a method that approximates the effective interest method. Deferred loan fees are included in “Mortgage and other loans, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, in accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Amortization of deferred loan fees is included in “Interest” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Repairs, Maintenance and Major Improvements

The costs of ordinary repairs and maintenance are included when incurred in “Rental property operating” expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Major improvements that extend the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. Our lenders have required us to maintain reserve accounts for the funding of future repairs and capital expenditures, and the balances of these accounts are included in “Restricted cash” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Leasing Commissions

Leasing commissions are capitalized and amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the related lease. The payment of leasing commissions is included in “Investing activities” on the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows because we believe that paying leasing commissions for good tenants is a prudent investment in increasing the value of our income-producing assets.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over their estimated useful lives which range from five to 42 years. Tenant improvement costs recorded as capital assets are depreciated over the shorter of the tenant’s remaining lease term or the life of the improvement. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over three to seven years. Properties that are acquired that are subject to ground leases are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life or the remaining life of the related leases as of the date of assumption of the lease.

Non-Controlling Interests

We account for non-controlling interests in accordance with FASB ASC 810, Consolidation. In accordance with FASB ASC 810, we report non-controlling interests in subsidiaries within equity in the consolidated financial statements, but

F-14

Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

separate from the parent stockholders’ equity. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests is presented as a reduction from net income in calculating net income available to common stockholders on the statement of operations. Acquisitions or dispositions of non-controlling interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, FASB ASC 810 requires that a parent company recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated upon a change in control. In accordance with FASB ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, non-controlling interests that are determined to be redeemable are carried at their redemption value as of the balance sheet date and reported as temporary equity. We periodically evaluate individual non-controlling interests for the ability to continue to recognize the non-controlling interest as permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Any non-controlling interest that fails to qualify as permanent equity will be reclassified as temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (a) the carrying amount, or (b) its redemption value as of the end of the period in which the determination is made, the resulting adjustment is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. See Note 11 for a more detailed discussion.

Preferred Units

The Class A convertible preferred units of the Operating Partnership (“Preferred Units”) have fixed rights to distributions at an annual rate of 2% of their liquidation preference of $25 per Preferred Unit. Accordingly, income or loss of the Operating Partnership is allocated among the general partner interest and limited partner common interests after taking into consideration distribution rights allocable to the Preferred Units.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

We present both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.

Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares that would have been outstanding for the period, assuming the issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during such period.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we currently distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. Also, at least 95% of gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources. We intend to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders. However, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, if any. Management believes that we have distributed a sufficient majority of our taxable income, if any, in the form of dividends and distributions to our stockholders and unit holders. Accordingly, we have not recognized any provision for income taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 establishes that companies may recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We evaluated the impact of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements by reviewing our revenue streams and concluded that only our parking revenue stream falls under the scope of this pronouncement. We also evaluated the impact of this pronouncement

F-15

Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

on the timing and recognition of revenues of our parking arrangements and determined there was no change in the recognition of revenues from our current accounting practice. We concluded the adoption of this pronouncement would not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”) which provides guidance on when and how entities should assess their ability to continue as a going concern and related footnote disclosures. Under ASU 2014-15, management is required to perform annual and interim assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statement issuance date. Certain disclosures are required if there are conditions present that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern during this period. This pronouncement is effective for the annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. We adopted this standard on December 31, 2016. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 1 for discussion on our ability to continue as a going concern.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02,
