1. Business and Organization

Global Income Trust, Inc. was organized in Maryland on March 4, 2009. The term “Company” includes, unless the context otherwise requires, Global Income Trust, Inc., Global Income, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), Global Income GP, LLC, and other subsidiaries of Global Income Trust, Inc. The Company currently operates and has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Company is externally advised by CNL Global Income Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) and its property manager is CNL Global Income Managers, LLC (the “Property Manager”), each of which is a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned affiliate of CNL Financial Group, LLC (“CNL”), the Company’s sponsor. The Advisor is responsible for managing the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on behalf of the Company pursuant to an advisory agreement between the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor. Substantially all of the Company’s acquisition, operating, administrative and property management services are provided by sub-advisors to the Advisor and sub-property managers to the Property Manager. Affiliates of CNL and Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets Inc. (“MIRA”), and MGPA Advisory (Singapore) Pte Ltd (“MGPA Advisory”) serve as sub-advisors and as sub-property managers. MGPA Advisory is a subsidiary of MGPA Limited, an independently managed private equity real estate investment advisory company focused on real estate investments in Europe and Asia. In addition, certain unrelated sub-property managers have been engaged to provide certain property management services.

On April 23, 2010, the Company commenced its initial public offering of up to $1.5 billion of shares of common stock (150 million shares of common stock at $10.00 per share) (the “Offering”) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had received aggregate offering proceeds of approximately $57.2 million, including proceeds received through the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. The Offering will terminate no later than April 23, 2013, unless the Company determines to file a follow-on offering by such date. In such case, the current Offering could be extended by an additional 180 days.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods, and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. For example, significant assumptions are made in the allocation of purchase price, analysis of real estate impairments and the assessment of probability of repayments of expenses under the expense support agreement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation – The accounting records for the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries that own the properties in Germany are maintained in the functional currency, and revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates during the period presented. Assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are reflected in other comprehensive losses in the statements of comprehensive losses and in other comprehensive losses in the statements of stockholders’ equity as a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. Any gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value Measurements – GAAP emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. GAAP requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. Observable inputs are inputs that the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

 

   

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

   

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on the Company’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

When market data inputs are unobservable, the Company utilizes inputs that it believes reflect the Company’s best estimate of the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Income Taxes – The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and related regulations. As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal corporate income taxes provided it continues to distribute all of its REIT taxable income and capital gains and meets certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

As a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and foreign income taxes. These state and foreign income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and respective tax bases and operating losses and tax-credit carry forwards.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This topic clarifies the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements and certain changes to principles and requirements for measuring fair value. This update is to be applied prospectively and is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2012 and it did not have an effect on its financial position or results of operations.

At the acquisition date, the weighted-average amortization period on the acquired lease intangibles was approximately 6.6 years.

The revenues and net losses (including deductions for acquisition fees and expenses and depreciation and amortization expense) attributable to the properties included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations were approximately $0.1 million and $(0.6) million and $0.3 million and $(1.2) million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

In October 2012, the Company acquired a Class A bulk industrial building in Jacksonville, Florida (the “Samsonite Property”), see Note 12. “Subsequent Events” for additional information.

The following presents unaudited pro forma revenues and net loss of the Company as if the Worms and Gutersloh properties and the Samsonite Property acquired in October 2012, had each been acquired as of January 1, 2011:

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) 

The pro forma results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, were adjusted to exclude approximately $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of acquisition related expenses incurred in 2012. The pro forma results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were adjusted to include these charges as if the properties had been acquired on January 1, 2011.

(2) 

As a result of these properties being treated as operational since January 1, 2011, the Company assumed approximately 2.3 million additional shares of common stock had been issued as of January 1, 2011. Consequently, the weighted average number of shares outstanding was adjusted to reflect the pro forma amount of the additional shares being issued on January 1, 2011 instead of the actual dates issued, and such shares were treated as outstanding for the full period.

Mortgage Notes Payable – In March 2012, in connection with the Giessen Retail Center acquisition, the Company obtained a $2.9 million mortgage loan from a German bank. The loan has a 20-year term and is collateralized by the Giessen Retail Center and its rental revenues. The interest rate is a fixed rate of 3.7% per annum for the first ten years, at which time the interest rate will be renegotiated. Loan payments consist of monthly interest only payments during the first five years of the loan. Thereafter, monthly payments will include principal and interest through the maturity date. As of September 30, 2012, approximately $2.8 million was outstanding under the mortgage loan.

7. Indebtedness (continued)

 

The mortgage loan is secured by a mortgage on the all real property improvements and personal property of the Giessen Retail Center, together with an assignment of rents.

In August 2012, in connection with the planned acquisition of four value-retail centers, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a German bank providing for a senior loan (the “Senior Loan”) in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $11.2 million, with the Senior Loan to be drawn on to finance the acquisition of four value-retail centers. In September 2012, in connection with the acquisition of the Worms Retail Center and the Gutersloh Retail Center, approximately $3.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, were drawn on the Senior Loan. Interest on the current outstanding principal balance of the Senior Loan accrues at the fixed rate of 2.98% per annum for the Worms Retail Center and 3.17% per annum for the Gutersloh Retail Center. Interest on the Senior Loan is due and payable every six months in arrears, on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The outstanding principal balance of the Senior Loan is due and payable commencing on January 15, 2018 as follows: January 15, 2018 – 1.25% of the original loan balance; July 15, 2018 – 1.25% of the original loan balance; January 15, 2019 – 1.5% of the original loan balance; and July 15, 2019 – 1.5% of the original loan balance. The Senior Loan matures and is due and payable in full on August 1, 2019. As of September 30, 2012, $5.9 million was outstanding under the Senior Loan. The Senior Loan may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, with a prepayment penalty to be determined based on market rates at that time.

The Senior Loan is secured by a mortgage on the all real property improvements and personal property of the Worm Retail Center and the Gutersloh Retail Center, together with an assignment of rents and a cash sweep account established with the lender to be utilized in the event that certain interest coverage and loan to value ratios are not met. Testing of the financial covenants under the Senior Loan will begin in 2013.

Credit Facility – In June 2012, the Company modified its existing revolving line of credit (“Credit Facility”) to reduce the borrowing capacity from $35 million to $25 million. In connection with the modification, certain financial covenants, including the fixed charge coverage ratio, leverage ratio, and the minimum liquidity requirements, were modified. The modification did not change the remaining terms of the original Credit Facility. The Company wrote off approximately $0.05 million in unamortized loan costs as a result of the modification.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum net equity raise requirement under the Credit Facility. On October 3, 2012, the lender waived this requirement for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. In connection with the waiver and in an effort to reduce the Company’s fees on the unused portion of the Credit Facility, the Company agreed to modify the Credit Facility. See Note 12. “Subsequent Events” for additional information. As of September 30, 2012 and November 12, 2012, $0.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively, was outstanding under the Credit Facility.

FOOTNOTE:

For the purposes of the five year maturity table above, management assumed that the principal amounts outstanding on the Heritage Commons III and Heritage Commons IV mortgage notes payable are repaid at the anticipated repayment date, as defined in the respective loan agreements.

The estimated fair market value and carrying value of the Company’s mortgage notes payable were approximately $46.1 million and $45.0 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2012, and $36.9 million and $36.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2011, based on then-current rates and spreads the Company would expect to obtain for similar borrowings. The Company estimates the fair market value on its Credit Facility approximates its carrying value as of both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, based on then-current rates and spreads the Company would expect to obtain on similar facilities. Because this methodology includes inputs that are less observable by the public and are not necessarily reflected in active markets, the measurement of the estimated fair values related to our mortgage notes payable and Credit Facility are categorized as Level 3 on the three-level valuation hierarchy used for GAAP. The estimated fair values of accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated the carrying values as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 because of the relatively short maturities of the obligations.

8. Related Party Arrangements (continued)

 

In March 2012, the Company’s board of directors approved an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement with its Advisor (the “Expense Support Agreement”) whereby, effective April 1, 2012, reimbursement of operating-related personnel expenses and asset management fees to the Advisor and its affiliates are deferred and subordinated until such time, if any, that (i) cumulative modified funds from operations (as defined in the Expense Support Agreement) for the period April 1, 2012 through the applicable determination date exceeds (ii) distributions declared to stockholders for the same period. Such reimbursements and payments are further subordinated to the Company’s total operating expenses being within the 2%/25% guideline limitations as such terms are defined in the advisory agreement. For purposes of the above subordinations, all or a portion of the deferred amounts may be paid only to the extent it does not cause the applicable performance measurement to not be met inclusive of the conditional reimbursement amount. The Expense Support Agreement is terminable by the Advisor, but not before March 31, 2013, and any deferrals are eligible for conditional reimbursement for a period of up to three years from the applicable determination date. Any amounts deferred that have not met the conditions of reimbursement within the time period established in the Expense Support Agreement will be permanently waived by the Advisor and the Company will have no obligation to pay such amounts.

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million in asset management fees and approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in operating-related personnel expenses were deferred and subordinated in accordance with the terms of the Expense Support Agreement. The Company will record such amounts as operating expenses in future periods to the extent, if any, it determines that these amounts are probable of being reimbursed to the Advisor.

The Company incurs operating expenses which, in general, are expenses relating to administration of the Company on an ongoing basis. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company the amount by which the total operating expenses paid or incurred by the Company exceed, in any four consecutive fiscal quarters (the “Expense Year”) commencing with the year ended March 31, 2012, the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income (as defined in the advisory agreement) (the “Limitation”), unless a majority of its independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the Expense Year ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $0.6 million of operating expenses in excess of the Limitation, all of which related to the Expense Year ended March 31, 2012, previously reviewed by the Company’s independent directors. There were no additional expenses in excess of the Limitation incurred for quarter ended September 30, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s independent directors determined that operating expenses in excess of the Limitation were justified based on a number of factors. These factors included how quickly new equity capital was raised and invested and the relationship of these investments to the Company’s operating expenses, many of which were necessary as a result of being a public company.

Organizational and offering costs become a liability to the Company only to the extent selling commissions, the marketing support fees and other organizational and Offering costs do not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. The Advisor has incurred an additional $6.1 million of costs on behalf of the Company in connection with the Offering (exceeding the 15% limitation on costs) as of September 30, 2012. These costs will be recognized by the Company in future periods as the Company receives future Offering proceeds to the extent such costs are within such 15% limitation.

In March 2012, the Company’s board of directors approved an amended and restated advisory agreement and amended and restated property management agreement with the Company’s Advisor and Property Manager, respectively. These revised agreements permit the Company’s subsidiaries to enter into contracts for certain real estate services directly with the Advisor’s sub-advisors and Property Manager’s sub-property managers providing services to the Company.

9. Stockholders’ Equity

Distributions – During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, cash distributions totaling approximately $2.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, were declared payable to stockholders (including approximately $0.3 million and $0.1 million declared but unpaid as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which were paid in October 2012 and 2011, respectively). As the Company had no distributable earnings or funds from operations (“FFO”), the distributions were made from Offering proceeds. In addition, 100% of distributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are expected to be a return of capital and 100% of the distributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were considered a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.

Redemptions – During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company redeemed 24,293 shares of common stock for approximately $0.2 million.

 

10. Income Taxes

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized state and foreign income benefits (taxes) related to its properties in Texas and Germany, resulting in a net tax benefit of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 6.9% and 4.0% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the 35% percent statutory tax rate primarily due to the fact that it is operating as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and a significant portion of the Company’s operating results are non-taxable due to the REIT’s dividend paid deduction. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 for the operations located in Germany was 15.8%.

Taxable income differs from net income for financial reporting purposes principally because of differences in the timing of recognition of acquisition and depreciation expenses and rental revenue. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has recorded deferred tax assets of $0.2 million as a result of the tax basis of its fixed assets exceeding the book basis of its German fixed assets.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company also recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $0.05 million relating to net operating losses generated in Luxembourg. The Company recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset in Luxembourg as a result of it not expecting to realize future tax benefits from the generated net operating losses.

The Company’s U.S. and foreign income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes was as follows:

11. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation or claims. There are no material legal proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company.

In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and the Company is not aware of any other environmental condition that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations.

In August 2012, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire a portfolio of four value-retail centers totaling approximately 120,050 square feet, located in four metropolitan areas in Western Germany for a total purchase price of approximately 14.3 million euros (approximately $18 million based on an exchange rate of $1.2619 per euro). In September 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of two of these properties. The Company expects to complete the purchase of the remaining two centers for approximately 7.0 million euros (approximately $9.0 million based on an exchange rate of $1.2874 per euro) by the end of the fourth quarter 2012, provided that certain conditions precedent are resolved. Although the Company deems the purchase of the remaining two centers as probable, there is no assurance the acquisition of the remaining two centers will occur. See Note 3. “Acquisitions” for additional information on the acquisition of the two properties. The agreement is governed by German law and accordingly, if the Company does not close on the purchase of the portfolio through no fault of the seller, the Company could be liable to the seller for the full amount of the purchase price.

Additionally, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement in July 2012 for the purchase of a fully leased, single tenant industrial building in Jacksonville, Florida for $42.5 million. See Note 12. “Subsequent Events” for additional information regarding the acquisition of the Samsonite Property in October 2012.

See Note 8. “Related Party Arrangements” for information on contingent amounts due to the Company’s Advisor in connection with the Offering and the Expense Support Agreement.

FOOTNOTE:

 

(1) 

At the acquisition date, the weighted-average amortization period on the acquired lease intangibles was approximately 5.3 years.

In connection with the purchase of the Samsonite Property, the Company assumed an approximately $26.7 million existing first mortgage on the Samsonite Property (the “Samsonite Mortgage”). The Samsonite Mortgage has a fixed interest rate of 6.08%. Monthly principal and interest payments in the amount of $187,319, based on a 25-year amortization, are required until the maturity date of September 1, 2023, at which time the remaining outstanding principal balance will be due and payable in full. The Samsonite Mortgage is collateralized by the Samsonite Property, the assignment of interest and rents under the lease and the assignment of interest in certain management agreements.

The Samsonite Property is 100% leased under a non-cancelable, triple-net lease through February 2018, subject to two additional renewal periods of five years each at the tenant’s option. See Note 3. “Acquisitions” for the pro forma impact of the October acquisition on the Company’s results of operations for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

On October 3, 2012, in connection with receiving a waiver from the lender relating to a minimum net equity raise requirement for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as described in Note 7. “Indebtedness,” and in an effort to reduce the Company’s fees on the unused portion of the Credit Facility, the Company modified its existing Credit Facility to reduce the borrowing capacity from $25 million to $2.8 million. The modification did not change the remaining terms of the Credit Facility. The Company wrote off approximately $0.08 million in unamortized loan costs related to the modification. In October 2012, the Company drew down the remaining $2.0 million available under the Credit Facility.

During the period October 1, 2012 through November 8, 2012, the Company received additional subscription proceeds of approximately $3.1 million (0.3 million shares) from its Offering, including proceeds received through its distribution reinvestment plan.

Amounts as of December 31, 2011 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements, notes and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Capitalized terms used in this Item 2 have the same meaning as in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements unless otherwise defined herein.

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, but reflect management’s current understandings, intentions, beliefs, plans, expectations, assumptions and/or predictions regarding the future of the Company’s business and its performance, the economy, and other future conditions and forecasts of future events, and circumstances. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “continues,” “pro forma,” “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “should” and “could,” and words and terms of similar substance in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance, business strategy and portfolios, projected growth prospects, cash flows, costs and financing needs, legal proceedings, amount and timing of anticipated future distributions, estimated per share value of the Company’s common stock, and other matters.

The Company’s forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and stockholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. While the Company’s management believes its forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. As with any projection or forecast, forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data and/or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise, and may not be realized. The Company’s forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s ability to control or accurately predict. Important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to vary materially from those expressed or implied in its forward-looking statements include, but not limited to, the factors listed and described under “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2012, and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Such factors include, but are not limited to, government regulation, economic, strategic, political and social conditions, and the following: risks associated with the Company’s investment strategy; a worsening economic environment in the U.S. or globally, including financial market fluctuations; risks associated with real estate markets, including declining real estate values; risks associated with the limited amount of proceeds raised in the Company’s offering of its shares, including the limited number of investments made; risks of doing business internationally, including currency risks; the Company’s failure to obtain, renew or extend necessary financing or to access the debt or equity markets; the use of debt to finance the Company’s business activities, including refinancing and interest rate risk and the Company’s failure to comply with debt covenants; the Company’s ability to identify and close on suitable investments; failure to successfully manage growth or integrate acquired properties and operations; the Company’s ability to make necessary improvements to properties on a timely or cost-efficient basis; risks related to property expansions and renovations; competition for properties and/or tenants; defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants; failure to lease properties on

All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made; the Company undertakes no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or revise its forward-looking statements to reflect new information, changed assumptions, the occurrence of subsequent events, or changes to future operating results over time unless otherwise required by law.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes information with respect to market share and industry conditions obtained from third-party sources or based upon our own internal estimates using such sources when available.

MARKET OUTLOOK

The U.S. real estate markets have started to rebound from the general recession as evidenced by rising sales volumes and improving fundamentals across all types of commercial real estate. These positive trends and the resulting firming of pricing power are a direct result of modest but steady demand for space at a time of constrained supply due primarily to the limited amount of capital available for new development. Job growth is also contributing to these positive trends. Over the past several months, steady job growth has increased demand for space in most asset types, with the industrial market showing the most robust recovery. While job growth has been modest nationally, the Sunbelt states generally outperform the national averages, and this has led to renewed investor interest in assets across the region. With few alternatives for income derived from financial assets, capital flows are increasing in alternative asset classes, including hard assets such as real estate.

The resulting investor demand for income-oriented tangible assets has increased investment sales volume and asset pricing across all asset types in major markets. Beginning in 2011, a good portion of this capital has focused on the perceived safety of central business district (CBD) office properties in cities such as New York and San Francisco, and notably, multifamily housing. The continued influx of capital into these sectors has driven asset prices up and yields down. In many markets, stabilized properties in these two sectors are at or near the pricing levels that existed in 2006 and 2007 at the height of the previous market cycle. As such, we will continue to focus acquisition activity on strong secondary markets and asset classes where strong risk-adjusted returns remain available.

Internationally, we remain focused on the stronger economies in Europe. While the European debt crisis continues to evolve, it also creates potential income acquisition opportunities in key markets in the more stable countries. Through our sub-advisor, MGPA Advisory, we are initially targeting Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Poland; all regions where MGPA Advisory has local offices. In particular, we see positive investment characteristics in German value retail as evidenced by our three international acquisitions and our two pending investments in Western Germany. We favor German value retail because they tend to be more resistant to economic decline.

More than ever, we believe market conditions demand researched and reasoned actions, and we believe our access to the resources of our Advisor and its global sub advisors, position us well for success.

We expect to diversify our investments domestically and internationally by making further acquisitions. We see opportunities across a variety of asset types, including well-located suburban office, industrial and retail in select markets throughout the U.S. We continue to research markets in Europe for opportunities that are consistent with our strategy. We are focused on Europe for additional investments because while some countries within Europe are currently deleveraging at different speeds through a variety of austerity measures, momentum is gaining for renewed sovereign investment to stimulate growth and job creation. We believe the economic uncertainty in the Eurozone may also present significant acquisition opportunities. While the current opportunities may be in the above markets, we anticipate that our investment focus will be flexible over time and will be dependent on the market outlook for each asset type and the specific geographic region.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

Our primary sources of capital have been and are expected to continue to be proceeds we receive from our Offering and any subsequent offerings and borrowings. Our principal demands for funds will be for:

 

   

the acquisition of additional real estate and real estate-related assets and related acquisition fees and expense,

 

   

the payment of offering and operating expenses,

 

   

the payment of debt service on our outstanding indebtedness, and

 

   

the payment of distributions.

Generally, once fully invested, we expect to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions and offering costs from our cash flow from operations, and we expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions and offering costs from the net proceeds from our Offering and financings. However, until we are fully invested, we have and may continue to use proceeds from our Offering to pay a portion of our operating expenses, distributions and debt service.

We expect to have little, if any, cash flow from operations available for distribution until we make substantial investments. There will be a delay between the sale of our shares and the purchase of properties or other investments, which could impact the amount of cash available for distributions. Therefore, we have and may continue to pay some or all of our cash distributions from sources other than our operations, such as from cash flows generated from financing activities, a component of which may include the proceeds of our Offering and borrowings, whether collateralized by our assets or uncollateralized. In addition, our Advisor, its affiliates or related parties may also advance cash to us or waive or defer asset management fees or other fees or reimbursements in order to increase cash available to pay distributions to stockholders or to pay expenses, but, except to the extent required by the Expense Support Agreement described in Results of Operations, are not required to do so.

SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Common Stock Offering

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our main source of capital was the proceeds of our Offering. During such periods, we received total offering proceeds of approximately $28.7 million and $14.1 million, respectively, including amounts received through our distribution reinvestment plan. During the period October 1, 2012 through November 8, 2012, we received additional subscription proceeds of approximately $3.1 million (0.3 million shares) from our Offering, including proceeds received through our distribution reinvestment plan.

Our Offering will terminate no later than April 23, 2013, unless we determine to file a follow-on offering by such date. In such case, the current Offering could be extended by up to an additional 180 days.

Borrowings

In March 2012, in connection with the acquisition of our first international property, the Giessen Retail Center, we obtained a $2.9 million mortgage loan from a German bank. The loan has a 20-year term and is collateralized by the Giessen Retail Center and its rental revenues. The interest rate is a fixed rate of 3.7% per annum for the first ten years, at which time the interest rate and whether fixed or variable, will be renegotiated. Loan payments consist of monthly interest only payments during the first five years of the loan. Thereafter, monthly payments of principal and interest will be required through the maturity date.

In June 2012, we modified our existing Credit Facility to reduce the borrowing capacity from $35 million to $25 million. In connection with the modification, certain financial covenants including the fixed charge coverage ratio, leverage ratio, and the minimum liquidity requirements, were modified. As of September 30, 2012, we were not in compliance with the minimum net equity raise requirement under the Credit Facility. On October 3, 2012, we received a waiver from the lender of this requirement for the quarter ended

September 30, 2012. In connection therewith and in an effort to reduce our fees on the unused portion of the Credit Facility, we modified our Credit Facility to reduce the borrowing capacity from $25 million to $2.8 million. The modification did not change the remaining terms of the Credit Facility. In October 2012, we drew down the remaining $2.0 million of capacity under the Credit Facility. We wrote off approximately $0.05 million and $0.08 million, respectively, in unamortized loan costs relating to the June 2012 and October 2012 modifications.

In August 2012, in connection with the planned acquisition of four value-retail centers, we entered into a loan agreement with a German bank providing for a Senior Loan in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $11.2 million, with the Senior Loan to be drawn on to finance the acquisition of the four value-retail centers. In September 2012, in connection with the acquisitions of the Worms Retail Center and the Gutersloh Retail Center, approximately $3.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, were drawn on the Senior Loan. Interest on the current outstanding principal balance of the Senior Loan accrues at the fixed rate of 2.98% per annum for the Worms Retail Center and 3.17% per annum for the Gutersloh Retail Center. Interest on the Senior Loan is due and payable every six months in arrears, on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The outstanding principal balance of the Senior Loan is due and payable commencing on January 15, 2018 as follows: January 15, 2018 – 1.25% of the original loan balance; July 15, 2018 – 1.25% of the original loan balance; January 15, 2019 – 1.5% of the original loan balance; and July 15, 2019 – 1.5% of the original loan balance. The Senior Loan matures and is due and payable in full on August 1, 2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we paid approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in loan costs.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had an aggregate debt leverage ratio of 53.2% and 65.3%, respectively.

Debt Repayments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we repaid $2.0 million and $0.4 million of outstanding principal under our Credit Facility and mortgage notes payable, respectively. We used cash that was available pending the acquisition of properties to repay the majority of the outstanding principal on our Credit Facility in order to reduce our expenses. Debt payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were funded primarily using net proceeds from our Offering. To the extent we do not have sufficient cash from operations, we intend to continue using proceeds from our Offering to fund our debt payments.

Stock Issuance and Offering Costs

Under the terms of the managing dealer agreement for our Offering, our managing dealer is entitled to receive selling commissions and a marketing support fee of up to 7% and 3%, respectively, of gross proceeds on shares sold, excluding shares sold pursuant to our

distribution reinvestment plan. In addition, affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of actual expenses incurred in connection with the Offering, such as filing fees, legal, accounting, printing and due diligence expense reimbursements, which are recorded as stock issuance and offering costs and deducted from stockholders’ equity. In accordance with our articles of incorporation, the total amount of selling commissions, marketing support fees, and other organizational and offering costs to be paid by us may not exceed 15% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds. Offering costs are generally funded by our Advisor and subsequently reimbursed by us subject to this limitation.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we paid approximately $4.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in stock issuance and offering costs. The Advisor had incurred on our behalf approximately $6.1 million of additional costs in connection with the Offering exceeding the 15% limitation as of September 30, 2012. These costs will be recognized by us in future periods as we receive future offering proceeds to the extent that the costs are within the 15% limitation.

Distributions

Distributions to our stockholders are governed by the provisions of our articles of incorporation. Our board of directors has authorized a distribution policy providing for a daily distribution of $0.0017808 per share of common stock. Distributions are declared to stockholders of record daily and paid monthly. The daily distribution rate equates to an annualized distribution rate of 6.5% based on our offering price of $10.00 per share.

Cash flows from operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP are not necessarily indicative of the amount of cash available to pay distributions. For example, GAAP requires that the payment of acquisition fees and costs be classified as a use of cash in operating activities in the statement of cash flows, which directly reduces the measure of cash flows from operations. However, acquisition fees and costs are paid with proceeds from our offering as opposed to operating cash flows. Additionally, the board of directors also uses other measures such as FFO and MFFO in order to evaluate the level of distributions.

We currently intend to continue to pay distributions to our stockholders on a monthly basis although our board of directors reserves the right to change the per share distribution amount or otherwise amend or terminate our distribution policy. Our board of directors considers a number of factors in its determination of the amount and basis of distributions it declares, including expected and actual net cash flow from operations, FFO, modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), our overall financial condition, the Advisor’s determination in regards to providing Expense Support, our objective of qualifying as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the determination of reinvestment versus distribution following the monetization of an asset, as well as other factors including an objective of maintenance of stable and predictable distributions regardless of the composition.

Redemptions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we redeemed 24,293 shares of common stock for approximately $0.2 million.

     817,632       $ 42,500,000   

In connection with the purchase of the Samsonite Property, we assumed an approximately $26.7 million existing first mortgage on the Samsonite Property (the “Samsonite Mortgage”). The Samsonite Mortgage has a fixed interest rate of 6.08%. Monthly principal and interest payments in the amount of $187,319, based on a 25-year amortization, are required until the maturity date of September 1, 2023, at which time the remaining outstanding principal balance will be due and payable in full. The Samsonite Mortgage is collateralized by the Samsonite Property, the assignment of interest and rents under the lease and the assignment of interest in certain management agreements.

Pending Acquisitions

In August 2012, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire a portfolio of four value-retail centers totaling approximately 120,050 square feet, located in four metropolitan areas in Western Germany for a total purchase price of approximately 14.3 million euros (approximately $18 million based on an exchange rate of $1.2619 per euro). In September 2012, we completed the acquisition of two of these properties. See Liquidity and Capital Recourses – Uses of Liquidity – Acquisitions. We expect to complete the purchase of the remaining two centers for approximately 7.0 million euros (approximately $9.0 million based on an exchange rate of $1.2874 per euro) by the end of the fourth quarter 2012, provided that certain conditions precedent are resolved. We anticipate the funding of the purchase price of the additional properties through a combination of secured debt, existing unrestricted cash, and anticipated net proceeds through the Offering. Although we deem the purchase of the remaining properties as probable, there is no assurance the acquisition of the remaining properties will occur.

The agreement is governed by German law and accordingly, if we do not close on the purchase of the portfolio through no fault of the seller, we could be liable to the seller for the full amount of the purchase price.

Expense Support Agreement

In March 2012, our board of directors approved an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement with our Advisor whereby, effective April 1, 2012, reimbursement of operating-related personnel expenses and payment of asset management fees to the Advisor and its affiliates are deferred and subordinated until such time, if any, that (i) cumulative MFFO (as defined in the Expense Support Agreement) for the period April 1, 2012 through the applicable determination date exceeds (ii) distributions declared to stockholders for the same period. Such reimbursements and payments are further subordinated to our total operating expenses being within the 2%/25% guideline limitations as such terms are defined in the advisory agreement. For purposes of the above subordinations, all or a portion of the deferred amounts may be paid only to the extent it does not cause the applicable performance measurement to not be met inclusive of the conditional reimbursement amount. The Expense Support Agreement is terminable by the Advisor, but not before March 31, 2013, and any deferrals are eligible for conditional reimbursement for a period of up to three years from the applicable determination date. Any amounts deferred that have not met the conditions of reimbursement within the time period established in the Expense Support Agreement will be permanently waived by the Advisor and we will have no obligation to pay such amounts. Should the Advisor terminate the Expense Support Agreement beyond the contractually obligated period of March 31, 2013 and MFFO not be sufficient to pay distributions, our board of directors could reduce distributions to a sustainable level supported by MFFO. See the discussion in Results of Operations for amounts deferred under the Expense Support Agreement.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we used approximately $0.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of net cash in operating activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, cash was used primarily to pay property operating expenses, acquisition fees and expenses and general and administrative expenses. We have used and will continue to use proceeds from our Offering to fund acquisition fees and expenses. Because we are in our acquisition stage, the net operating income from our properties is not yet sufficient to fund all of our general and administrative expenses. Until such time as we generate sufficient net operating income from our investments, we expect to continue to fund a portion of such amounts with Offering proceeds.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As of September 30, 2011, we owned two real estate investment properties that were 100% leased under operating leases as compared to six properties as of September 30, 2012. See Our Real Estate Portfolio.

Our results of operations for the respective periods presented reflect increases in most categories due to the growth of our portfolio. Management expects increases in operating activities in the future as our properties are owned for full periods, including the Samsonite Property, and as we purchase additional real estate and real estate-related assets.

Comparison of the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011

Revenues. Rental revenue and tenant reimbursements were approximately $2.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to approximately $0.9 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 for the two properties we owned during those periods. We expect increases in revenue in the future as our properties are owned for a full period, including the Samsonite Property, and as we purchase additional real estate properties.

Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were approximately $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, as compared to approximately $0.4 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011. These expenses include property taxes, utilities and other costs to operate the properties, some of which are reimbursable by tenants with reimbursed amounts included in revenues. In general, as property operating expenses increase for our five modified-gross lease properties owned as of September 30, 2012, tenant reimbursement income will increase as a result of the tenants’ obligations to pay such amounts. We expect increases in property operating expenses in the future as we purchase additional real estate properties.

Acquisition Fees and Expenses. Acquisition fees and expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were approximately $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, as compared to $0.1 million and $0.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Acquisition fees and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 consisted primarily of investment services fees and acquisition expenses in connection with our German property acquisitions. Acquisition fees and expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 also included amounts relating to due diligence related to the Samsonite Property and our two pending acquisitions in Germany described in Liquidity and Capital Resources – Uses of Liquidity and Capital Resources – Subsequent and Pending Acquisitions. We expect to incur additional acquisition fees and expenses in the future as we purchase additional real estate properties.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were approximately $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, as compared to $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011. General and administrative expenses were comprised primarily of reimbursable personnel expenses of affiliates of our Advisor, directors’ and officers’ insurance, accounting and legal fees, and board of directors’ fees. Under the Expense Support Agreement, all or a portion of reimbursable personnel expenses of affiliates of the Advisor for the period April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2013, may be deferred and subordinated to certain performance metrics in accordance with the Expense Support Agreement. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we deferred approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of operating-related personnel expenses in accordance with this agreement. See Expense Reimbursement below.

Asset Management Fees. We incurred approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million in asset management fees payable to our Advisor during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $0.06 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Under the Expense Support Agreement, all or a portion of asset management fees for the period April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2013, may also be deferred and subordinated to certain performance metrics in accordance with the Expense Support Agreement. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we deferred approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of asset management fees in accordance with this agreement. See Expense Reimbursement below.

Property Management Fees. We incurred approximately $0.06 million and $0.2 million in property management fees during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, in connection with the property operations of our six properties. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 we incurred approximately $0.02 million in property management fees. We expect increases in property management fees in the future as we purchase additional real estate properties.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was approximately $0.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, and was comprised of depreciation and amortization of the buildings, improvements and in-place leases related to our six properties. Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. We expect increases in depreciation and amortization expense in the future as we purchase additional real estate properties.

Expense Support. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in asset management fees and operating-related personnel expenses were deferred and subordinated in accordance with the terms of the Expense Support Agreement. We will record such amounts as operating expenses in future periods to the extent, if any, we determine these amounts are probable of being reimbursed to the Advisor.

Interest Expense and Loan Cost Amortization. Interest expense and loan cost amortization for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was approximately $0.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, relating to debt on our properties and the fee on the unused portion of our Credit Facility. Interest expense and loan cost amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes $0.05 million relating to the write-off of loan costs as a result of the modification of our Credit Facility in June of 2012. Interest expense and loan cost amortization for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. We expect increases in interest expense and loan cost amortization to increase as we incur additional indebtedness as we acquire additional properties, including our pending investments.

Income Tax Benefit. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized state and foreign income taxes (benefits) related to our properties in Texas and Germany resulting in a net tax benefit of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

2%/25% Limitation

We incur operating expenses which, in general, are expenses relating to our administration on an ongoing basis. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Advisor shall reimburse us the amount by which the total operating expenses paid or incurred by us exceed, in any four consecutive fiscal quarters (an “Expense Year”) commencing with the year ended March 31, 2012, the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income (as defined in the advisory agreement) (the “Limitation”), unless a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the Expense Year ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $0.6 million of operating expenses in excess of the Limitation, all of which related to the Expense Year ended March 31, 2012, previously reviewed by our independent directors. There were no additional expenses in excess of the Limitation incurred for quarter ended September 30, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, our independent directors determined that operating expenses in excess of the Limitation, were justified based on a number of factors. These factors include how quickly new equity capital was raised and invested, and the relationship of these investments to our operating expenses, many of which were necessary as a result of being a public company.

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from the acquisition and operation of properties, loans and other permitted investments, other than those described above, risk factors identified in Part II, Item 1A of this report and the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND MODIFIED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) promulgated a measure known as funds from operations (“FFO”), which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a real estate investment trust, or REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004 (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, real estate asset impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.

We may, in the future, make other adjustments to net loss in arriving at FFO as identified above at the time that any such other adjustments become applicable to our results of operations. FFO, for example, would exclude impairment charges of real estate-related investments. Because GAAP impairments represent non-cash charges that are not allowed to be reversed if the underlying fair values improve or because the timing of impairment charges may lag the onset of certain operating consequences, we believe FFO provides useful supplemental information related to current consequences, benefits and sustainability related to rental rates, occupancy and other core operating fundamentals. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance. While impairment charges may be excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. In addition, FFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining FFO.

 

29


Table of Contents

Notwithstanding the widespread reporting of FFO, changes in accounting and reporting rules under GAAP that were adopted after NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted a significant increase in the magnitude of non-operating items included in FFO. For example, acquisition fees and expenses, which we intend to fund from the proceeds of our Offering and which we do not view as an operating expense of a property, are now deducted as expenses in the determination of GAAP net income. As a result, the Investment Program Association (the “IPA”), an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as modified FFO (“MFFO”), which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-traded REITs and which we believe to be another additional supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-traded REIT. Under IPA Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs (“IPA Guideline”), MFFO excludes from FFO additional non-cash or non-recurring items, including the following:

 

   

acquisition fees and expenses which have been deducted as expenses in the determination of GAAP net income;

 

   

non-cash amounts related to straight-line rent;

 

   

amortization of above or below market intangible lease assets and liabilities;

 

   

accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments;

 

   

impairments of loans receivable, and equity and debt investments;

 

   

realized gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt;

 

   

realized gains or losses on the extinguishment or sales of hedges, foreign exchange, securities and other derivatives holdings except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of our operations;

 

   

unrealized gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting, including interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives;

 

   

unrealized gains or losses related to consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting;

 

   

adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations where such adjustments have been included in the derivation of GAAP net income; and

 

   

adjustments related to the above items for unconsolidated entities in the application of equity accounting.

We consider MFFO as a supplemental measure when assessing our operating performance. We have calculated MFFO in accordance with the IPA Guideline. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, our MFFO is FFO, excluding acquisition fees and expenses, the amortization of above- and below-market leases and straight-line rent adjustments, which we believe is helpful in evaluating our results of operations for the reasons discussed below.

 

   

Acquisition fees and expenses. In evaluating investments in real estate, management’s investment models and analyses differentiate between costs to acquire the investment and the operating results derived from the investment. Acquisition fees and expenses have been and will continue to be funded from the proceeds of our Offering and other financing sources and not from operations. We believe by excluding acquisition fees and expenses, MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable between differing reporting periods for each type of our real estate investments and is more indicative of future operating results from our investments as consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. The exclusion of acquisition fees and expenses is generally our most significant adjustment at the present time, as we are currently in our offering and acquisition stages. However, if earnings from the operations of our properties or net sales proceeds from the future disposition of our properties are not sufficient enough to overcome the acquisition costs and fees incurred, then such fees and expenses will have a dilutive impact on our returns.

Table of Contents
   

Amortization of above- and below-market leases. Under GAAP, certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and are amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate-related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, we believe that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.

 

   

Straight-line rent adjustment. Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to restate such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

We may, in the future, make other adjustments to FFO as identified above at the time that any such other adjustments become applicable to our results of operations. MFFO, for example would exclude gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting and adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations. These items relate to a fair value adjustment, which is based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions and specific performance of the holding, which may not be directly attributable to our current operating performance. As these gains or losses relate to underlying long-term assets and liabilities, where we are not speculating or trading assets, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in our core operating fundamentals rather than changes that may reflect anticipated gains or losses. We believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information related to current consequences, benefits and sustainability related to rental rates, occupancy and other core operating fundamentals.

We believe that MFFO is helpful in assisting management to assess the sustainability of our distribution and operating performance in future periods, particularly after our offering and acquisition stages are complete, because MFFO excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect property operations only in the period in which a property is acquired; however, MFFO should only be used by investors to assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our Offering has been completed and properties have been acquired. Acquisition fees and expenses have a negative effect on our cash flows from operating activities during the periods in which properties are acquired.

Presentation of MFFO also is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different non-traded REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate MFFO. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flows available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should not be construed as historic performance measures or as more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income (loss) and its applicability in evaluating our operating performance.

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) 

In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-traded REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our Advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. Acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property.

(2) 

Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and are amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate-related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.

(3) 

Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to restate such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

RELATED PARTY ARRANGEMENTS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Income Taxes – We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and related regulations. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal corporate income taxes provided we continue to distribute all of our REIT taxable income and capital gains and meet certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT.

As a REIT, we are subject to certain state and foreign income taxes. These state and foreign income taxes will be accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and respective tax bases and operating losses and tax-credit carry forwards.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Item 1. “Financial Information” for a summary of the impact of recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties and to make loans and other permitted investments. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we expect to borrow and lend primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available, and in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations as a result of our ownership of three properties located in Germany. The payments we receive under the leases and debt service payments are denominated in euros. Management does not believe this to be a significant risk or that currency fluctuations would result in a significant impact to our overall results of operations.

The following is a schedule of our fixed and variable rate debt maturities for the remainder of 2012 and each of the next four years, and thereafter (principal maturities only):

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings – None

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except for revisions to the risk factors below, there have been no material changes in our assessment of our risk factors from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Changes in accounting pronouncements could materially impact our or our tenants’ reported financial performance

Accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission, entities that create and interpret appropriate accounting standards, may change the financial accounting and reporting standards or their interpretation and application of these standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. These changes could have a material impact on our reported financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in restating prior period financial statements. Specifically, FASB is currently considering changes to accounting standards for accounting for leases. Due to the fact that such standards impact how we account for our properties, as well as revenues and expenses relating to our leases, changes to the current standards could have a material impact to our financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, these changes could have a material impact on our tenants’ reported financial condition or results of operations and affect their preferences regarding leasing real estate. In such event, tenants may determine not to lease properties from us, or, if applicable, exercise their option to renew their leases with us. This in turn could cause a delay in investing our offering proceeds, make it more difficult for us to enter into leases on terms we find favorable and impact the distributions to stockholders.

Cyber security risks and cyber incidents could adversely affect our business and disrupt operations.

Cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. These incidents can include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. The result of these incidents could include, but are not limited to, disrupted operations, misstated financial data, liability for stolen assets or information, increased cyber security protection costs, litigation and reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence.

Until 18 months after we have completed our offering stage, we expect to use the price paid to acquire a share of our common stock in our most recent offering as the estimated per share value of our shares. Even when determining the estimated per share value of our common stock from and after 18 months after completion of our offering stage, the estimated per share value of our shares will be based upon a number of assumptions that may not be accurate or complete.

To assist Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) members and their associated persons that participate in our offerings in providing information on customer account statements as provided by National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”) Rule 2340, we expect to disclose in each of our annual reports an estimated per share value of our common stock, the method by which the estimated per share value of our common stock was developed and the date of the data used to develop the estimated per share value of our common stock. In addition, our advisor will prepare annual statements of the estimated per share value of our common stock to assist fiduciaries of retirement plans subject to the annual reporting and valuation requirements of ERISA in the preparation of their reports relating to an investment in our shares. Our advisor intends to use the most recent price paid to acquire a share of our common stock in the primary offering (ignoring purchase price discounts for certain categories of purchasers) or a subsequent follow-on public offering as the estimated per share value of our common stock until 18 months after we have completed our offering stage (as defined below). Although this initial estimated per share value of our common stock will represent the most recent price at which most investors will purchase our shares, this estimated per share value of our common stock will likely differ from the price at which a stockholder could resell his or her shares because there will be no public trading market for the shares at that time and the estimated per share value of our common stock will not reflect, and will not be derived from, the fair market value of our assets, nor will it represent the amount of net proceeds that would result from an immediate liquidation of our assets. We will consider our offering stage complete on the first date that we are no longer publicly offering equity securities that are not listed on a national securities exchange, whether through this offering or an additional follow-on public offering, provided we have not filed a registration statement for an additional follow-on public offering as of such date (for purposes of this definition, we do not consider “public offerings” to

Table of Contents

include offerings related to a distribution reinvestment plan, employee benefit plan or the redemption of interests in our operating partnership, if any). If our board of directors determines that it is in our best interest, we may conduct additional follow-on offerings upon the termination of this offering. Our articles do not restrict our ability to conduct offerings in the future.

When determining the estimated per share value of our common stock from and after 18 months after the completion of our offering stage, our advisor, or another firm chosen for that purpose, will estimate the per share value of our common stock based upon a number of assumptions that may not be accurate or complete, and our board of directors will approve such estimated per share value of our common stock. There is no guarantee that such estimated per share value will equal or exceed, or not be substantially less than, the per share amount paid by investors in our offering.

Proposed changes to FINRA rules and regulations, as well as requirements of participating broker dealers, could have a material impact on when we initially publish our estimated per share value and, in the event we are required to publish such estimated value prior to completion of our offering stage, such action could impact the price at which our shares are offered and our ability to raise capital through our offerings.

In March 2012, FINRA requested public comment through April 11, 2012 on its proposed amendment to the NASD Rule 2340 to require that per share estimated values of non-traded REITs be reported on customer account statements and modify the account statement disclosures that accompany the per share estimated value. Due to the fact that the managing dealer and participating brokers selling our common stock in our offering are subject to FINRA rules and regulations, any significant changes to Rule 2340 or their firms’ policies could have a material impact on when we initially publish our estimated per share value. In the event we are required to publish such estimated value prior to completion of our offerings, including any follow-on offering, if any, such action would affect the price at which our shares are offered and our ability to raise capital through our offerings.

We have raised a limited amount of proceeds and have made a limited number of investments.

Based upon our operating history to date and our limited portfolio of investments, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our investment objectives. On April 23, 2010, we commenced our Offering. During the period from the commencement of our Offering on such date to September 30, 2012, we accepted investors’ subscriptions for, and issued, approximately 5.7 million shares of our common stock in our Offering, representing gross offering proceeds of approximately $57.2 million. As of September 30, 2012, we have invested in six properties. If we are unable to raise substantial proceeds in our offerings, it will limit the amount of proceeds available to invest in properties and, therefore could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and our ability to meet our investment objectives.

We have experienced losses in the past and may experience similar losses in the future.

We incurred net operating losses for the two years ended December 31, 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Our losses can be attributed, in part, to the initial startup costs and operating expenses incurred prior to making investments in properties. In addition, certain acquisition expenses funded from offering proceeds, as well as, depreciation and amortization expense, substantially reduced our income. Our operating costs to date have been partially funded with offering proceeds. We cannot assure you that we will be profitable in the future, that our properties will produce sufficient income to fund our operating expenses, or that we will maintain our current level of distributions to stockholders.

Redemption of Shares and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Pursuant to our share redemption plan, any stockholder who has held shares for not less than one year may present all or any portion equal to at least 25% of their shares to us for redemption at prices based on the amount of time that the redeeming stockholder has held the applicable shares, but in no event greater than the price of shares sold to the public in any offering. We may, at our discretion, redeem the shares, subject to certain conditions and limitations under the redemption plan. However, at no time during a 12-month period may we redeem more than 5% of the weighted average number of our outstanding common stock at the beginning of such 12-month period. For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we redeemed the following shares:
