Financial Performance:
City Office REIT reported a net operating income of $24.9 million in Q2, down from Q1 by $1.8 million primarily due to lower occupancy and the absence of a one-time termination fee.
Core FFO for Q2 was $11.5 million or $0.28 per share.
AFFO stood at $5.3 million, or $0.13 per share, reflecting a $1 million tenant improvement deduction and $500,000 spent on spec suites and vacancy conditioning.

Opportunities:

Nationwide tenant requirements have increased and renewal rates are improving, creating a favorable leasing environment.
Risks:
The lack of liquidity in real estate transactions persists, but slight improvements in the CMBS market could facilitate better capital flexibility.
