During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company issued 875,701 and 949,578 shares of Common Stock, respectively, under its equity sales agreements at an average gross sales price of $42.44 and $42.12 per share, respectively, and received net proceeds, after sales commissions, of $36.6 million and $39.4 million, respectively. As a result of this activity and the redemptions discussed above, the percentage of Common Units owned by the Company increased from 96.8% at December 31, 2013 to 96.9% at September 30, 2014.

Basis of Presentation

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were retrospectively revised from previously reported amounts to reflect in discontinued operations the operations for those properties classified as discontinued operations.

The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements include the Operating Partnership, wholly owned subsidiaries and those entities in which the Company has the controlling interest. The Operating Partnership's Consolidated Financial Statements include wholly owned subsidiaries and those entities in which the Operating Partnership has the controlling interest. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had involvement with, but are not the primary beneficiary in, an entity that we concluded to be a variable interest entity (see Note 3).

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We have condensed or omitted certain notes and other information from the interim Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this Quarterly Report as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


1.    Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") recently issued an accounting standard update that requires only those real estate asset sales representing a strategic shift in operations (e.g., a disposal of a major geographic area or a major line of business) to be reflected in discontinued operations. This accounting standard update is required to be adopted in 2015. Early adoption is permitted, but only for real estate asset sales that have not been previously reflected as discontinued operations. We elected to early adopt the accounting standard update in the second quarter of 2014, resulting in the operations of current period dispositions and property classified as held for sale being included in continuing operations on our Consolidated Statements of Income.  Prior to adoption, we were generally required to reflect all real estate asset sales as discontinued operations, which required reclassification of the earnings of the sold assets from continuing operations for all periods presented.

The FASB recently issued an accounting standard update that requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that we identify the contract with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenue when we satisfy the performance obligations. We will also be required to disclose information regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The accounting standard update is required to be adopted in 2017. Retrospective application is required either to all periods presented or with the cumulative effect of initial adoption recognized in the period of adoption. We are in the process of evaluating this accounting standard update.

Acquisitions

During the third quarter of 2014, we acquired an office property in Raleigh, NC encompassing 374,000 rentable square feet for a purchase price of $83.8 million. We expensed $0.2 million of acquisition costs (included in general and administrative expenses) related to this acquisition. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value as determined by management based on information available at the acquisition date and on current assumptions as to future operations.

Pro Forma Disclosure

During the third quarter of 2013, we acquired our joint venture partner's 60.0% interest in our HIW-KC Orlando, LLC joint venture, which owned five office properties in Orlando, FL encompassing 1.3 million rentable square feet, for a net purchase price of $112.8 million. We previously accounted for our 40.0% interest in this joint venture using the equity method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of the joint venture are now wholly owned and are recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements, including assets recorded at fair value of $188.0 million and secured debt recorded at fair value of $127.9 million, with an effective interest rate of 3.11%. This debt has since been repaid. As a result of acquiring a controlling interest in this joint venture, our previously held equity interest was remeasured at a fair value of $75.2 million resulting in a gain of $7.5 million, which represents the difference between the fair market value of our previously held equity interest and the carrying value of our investment on the date of acquisition. The fair market value of our previously held equity interest was determined by management based on information available at the acquisition date and on current assumptions as to future operations.

During the third quarter of 2013, we also acquired an office property in Nashville, TN encompassing 520,000 rentable square feet for a net purchase price of $150.1 million.

During the second quarter of 2013, we acquired an office property in Atlanta, GA encompassing 553,000 rentable square feet for a purchase price of $140.1 million.

Dispositions
 
During the third quarter of 2014, we sold:

five office properties and a land parcel in a single transaction in Raleigh, NC for a sale price of $58.7 million and recorded a gain on disposition of property of $11.7 million;

11 office properties in Richmond, VA in separate transactions for an aggregate sale price of $40.7 million and recorded aggregate gains on disposition of property of $17.6 million;

six office and eight industrial properties in Greensboro, NC for a sale price of $28.2 million (before closing credits to buyer of $1.2 million for unfunded tenant improvements and $0.4 million for free rent) and recorded a gain on disposition of property of $4.7 million; and

an office property in Greenville, SC for a sale price of $27.2 million (before closing credits to buyer of $5.8 million for unfunded building and tenant improvements and $1.8 million for free rent) and recorded a gain on disposition of property of $2.2 million.

During the second quarter of 2014, we sold two land parcels in Atlanta, GA in separate transactions for an aggregate sale price of $9.5 million and recorded aggregate gains on disposition of property of $5.9 million.

Impairments

During the second quarter of 2014, we recorded an impairment of real estate assets of $0.6 million on an office property in Greensboro, NC. This impairment was due to a change in the assumed timing of future disposition and leasing assumptions, which reduced the future expected cash flows from the impaired property.

During 2010, we provided seller financing in conjunction with two disposition transactions. We accounted for these dispositions using the installment method, whereby a gain on disposition of property was deferred until the seller financing was repaid. During the first quarter of 2014, the $16.5 million of seller financing was fully repaid and we recorded the $0.4 million gain on disposition of property.

During 2012, we provided $8.6 million of secured acquisition financing to a third party. We also agreed to loan such third party $8.4 million on a secured basis to fund future infrastructure development. As of September 30, 2014, $0.7 million has been funded to the third party for infrastructure development. We concluded this arrangement to be an interest in a variable interest entity. However, since we do not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the entity, we do not qualify as the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the entity is not consolidated. Our risk of loss with respect to this arrangement is limited to the carrying value of the mortgage receivable and the future infrastructure development funding commitment.

We evaluate the ability to collect our mortgages and notes receivable by monitoring the leasing statistics and/or market fundamentals of these assets. As of September 30, 2014, our mortgages and notes receivable were not in default and there were no other indicators of impairment.

Board of Trade Investment Company ("Board of Trade")

During the first quarter of 2014, Board of Trade sold an office property to an unrelated third party for gross proceeds of $8.3 million and recorded a gain of $1.9 million. As our cost basis was different from the basis reflected at the entity level, we recorded a net impairment charge on our investment of $0.4 million. This charge represented the other-than-temporary decline in the fair value below the carrying value of our investment. During the second quarter of 2014, our 49.0% interest in Board of Trade was redeemed in exchange for $4.7 million in cash, which was received in the third quarter of 2014.

Highwoods KC Glenridge Office, LLC (“KC Glenridge”)

During the second quarter of 2014, KC Glenridge paid at maturity the remaining $14.9 million balance on a secured mortgage loan with an effective interest rate of 4.84%.

Our $475.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in January 2018 and includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional $75.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments. Assuming no defaults have occurred, we have an option to extend the maturity for two additional six-month periods. The interest rate at our current credit ratings is LIBOR plus 110 basis points and the annual facility fee is 20 basis points. There was $150.0 million and $148.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2014 and October 20, 2014, respectively. At both September 30, 2014 and October 20, 2014, we had $0.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the availability on our revolving credit facility. As a result, the unused capacity of our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2014 and October 20, 2014 was $324.9 million and $326.9 million, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2014, we prepaid the remaining $36.9 million balance on a secured mortgage loan with an effective interest rate of 3.34% that was originally scheduled to mature in April 2015. We recorded $0.3 million of loss on debt extinguishment related to this prepayment.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Operating Partnership issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 3.20% Notes due June 15, 2021, less original issue discount of $3.1 million. These notes were priced at 98.983% for an effective yield of 3.363%. Underwriting fees and other expenses were incurred that aggregated $2.4 million; these costs were deferred and will be amortized over the term of the notes.

During the second quarter of 2014, we prepaid without penalty the remaining $123.7 million balance on a secured mortgage loan with an effective interest rate of 3.11% that was originally scheduled to mature in July 2014.
 
During the second quarter of 2014, we prepaid the remaining $7.2 million balance on a secured mortgage loan with an effective interest rate of 3.32% that was originally scheduled to mature in August 2014. We recorded less than $0.1 million of gain on debt extinguishment related to this prepayment.

We are currently in compliance with financial covenants and other requirements with respect to our consolidated debt.

Our interest rate swaps have been designated as and are being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income each reporting period. No gain or loss was recognized related to hedge ineffectiveness or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on our cash flow hedges during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We have no collateral requirements related to our interest rate swaps.
 
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. During the period from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015, we estimate that $3.2 million will be reclassified to interest expense.

Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following summarizes the three levels of inputs that we use to measure fair value.

Level 1.  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Our Level 1 asset is our investment in marketable securities that we use to pay benefits under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Our Level 1 liability is our non-qualified deferred compensation obligation. The Company's Level 1 noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership relate to the ownership of Common Units by various individuals and entities other than the Company.

Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

Our Level 2 assets include the fair value of certain of our mortgages and notes receivable and certain of our interest rate swaps. Our Level 2 liabilities include the fair value of our mortgages and notes payable and the remainder of our interest rate swaps.

The fair value of mortgages and notes receivable and mortgages and notes payable is estimated by the income approach utilizing contractual cash flows and market-based interest rates to approximate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments of interest rate swaps are based on the expectation of future LIBOR interest rates (forward curves) derived from observed market LIBOR interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk, but were concluded to not be significant inputs to the calculation for the periods presented.
 
Level 3. Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
Our Level 3 assets include (1) certain of our mortgages and notes receivable, which were estimated by the income approach utilizing internal cash flow projections and market interest rates to estimate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction between market participants, (2) our tax increment financing bond, which is not routinely traded but whose fair value is determined by the income approach utilizing contractual cash flows and market-based interest rates to estimate the projected redemption value based on quoted bid/ask prices for similar unrated municipal bonds, and (3) any real estate assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a result of our quarterly impairment analysis, which were valued using the terms of definitive sales contracts or the sales comparison approach and substantiated with internal cash flow projections.
 
Our Level 3 liabilities include the fair value of our contingent consideration to acquire real estate assets and financing obligations, which were estimated by the income approach to approximate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction between market participants, utilizing: (1) contractual cash flows; (2) market-based interest rates; and (3) a number of other assumptions including demand for space, competition for customers, changes in market rental rates, costs of operation and expected ownership periods.

During 2007, we acquired a tax increment financing bond associated with a parking garage developed by us. This bond amortizes to maturity in 2020. The estimated fair value at September 30, 2014 was $0.7 million below the outstanding principal due on the bond. If the discount rate used to fair value this bond was 100 basis points higher or lower, the fair value of the bond would have been $0.4 million lower or $0.4 million higher, respectively, as of September 30, 2014. We intend to hold this bond and have concluded that we will not be required to sell this bond before recovery of the bond principal. Payment of the principal and interest for the bond is guaranteed by us. We have recorded no credit losses related to the bond during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. There is no legal right of offset with the liability, which we report as a financing obligation, related to this tax increment financing bond.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company granted 190,330 stock options with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which resulted in a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $6.75. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company also granted 94,932 shares of time-based restricted stock and 74,569 shares of total return-based restricted stock with weighted average grant date fair values per share of $37.76 and $35.58, respectively. We recorded share-based compensation expense of $0.8 million and $1.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $6.2 million and $5.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At September 30, 2014, there was $5.5 million of total unrecognized share-based compensation costs, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining contractual term of 2.5 years.

On October 17, 2014, we sold an industrial property and a land parcel in Atlanta, GA for a sale price of $11.4 million and expect to record a gain on disposition of property of $1.7 million.
Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were retrospectively revised from previously reported amounts to reflect in discontinued operations the operations for those properties classified as discontinued operations.

The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements include the Operating Partnership, wholly owned subsidiaries and those entities in which the Company has the controlling interest. The Operating Partnership's Consolidated Financial Statements include wholly owned subsidiaries and those entities in which the Operating Partnership has the controlling interest. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had involvement with, but are not the primary beneficiary in, an entity that we concluded to be a variable interest entity (see Note 3).

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
