[1] | As of September 30, 2018, the Company determined that the sale of eight office properties, containing 1,293,197 rentable square feet, in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment, was probable and classified these properties as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long-lived assets. At such date, the $366.0 million carrying value of the properties exceeded the estimated $309.1 million fair value less the anticipated costs of sale. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $56.9 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. The Company measured this impairment based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using a hold period of ten years and residual capitalization rates and discount rates of 7.47% and 8.60%, respectively. The results were comparable to indicative pricing in the market. As significant inputs to the model are unobservable, the Company determined that the value determined for this property falls within Level 3 fair value reporting.
[2] | As of September 30, 2018, the Company determined that the sale of one land parcel in the Pennsylvania Suburbs segment and two parcels of land in the Other segment was probable and classified these properties as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long-lived assets. At such date, the fair value less the anticipated costs of sale of the properties exceeded the carrying values. As a result, the Company expects to record gains on sale. The fair value measurement will be based on the pricing in the purchase and sale agreements.
