PART I

ITEM 1.BUSINESS

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview

Phillips Edison—ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc. was formed as a Maryland corporation on October 13, 2009, and has elected to be treatedtaxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the year ended December 31, 2010.. Substantially all of our business is expected to be conducted through Phillips Edison—ARC Shopping Center Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on December 3, 2009. We are the solea limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and our wholly owned subsidiary, Phillips Edison Shopping Center OP GP LLC, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.

We are offering to the public pursuant to

On January 13, 2010, we filed a registration statement $1.785 billion inon Form S‑11 with the SEC to offer a maximum of 180 million shares of common stock (“our offering”). Our offering consistsfor sale to the public, of awhich 150 million shares were registered in our primary offering of $1.5 billion inand 30 million shares offered to investors at a price of $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain categories of purchasers, and $285 million in shares offered to stockholders pursuant to awere registered under our dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRP”) at a price of $9.50 per share.. The SEC declared our registration statement effective on August 12, 2010. On November 19, 2013, we reallocated 26.5 million shares from the DRP to the primary offering. We have the right to reallocate theceased offering shares of common stock offered betweenin our primary offering on February 7, 2014. Subsequent to the end of our primary offering, we reallocated approximately 2.7 million unsold shares from the primary offering andto the DRP.

We continue to offer up to approximately 6.2 million shares of common stock under the DRP.


As of December 31, 2011,2013, we had issued 2,658,159a total of 175,689,995 shares of common stock, including 16,6472,126,348 shares issued through the DRP, generating gross cash proceeds of $25.4 million.

$1.74 billion, since our inception. As of December 31, 2013, there were 175,594,613 shares of our common stock outstanding, which is net of 95,382 shares repurchased from stockholders pursuant to our share repurchase program.

Our advisor is American Realty Capital II Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), a limited liability company that was formedorganized in the State of Delaware on December 28, 2009 and that is indirectly wholly owned by AR Capital LLC (formerly American Realty Capital II, LLC (“ARLLC) (the “AR Capital sponsor”). Under the terms of the advisory agreement between the Advisor and us, the Advisor is responsible for the management of our day-to-day activities and the implementation of our investment strategy. The Advisor has delegated most of its duties under the advisory agreement, including the management of our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of real estate assets, to Phillips Edison NTR LLC (the “Sub-advisor”), which is directly or indirectly wholly owned by Phillips Edison Limited Partnership (“Phillips(the “Phillips Edison sponsor”)., and Michael Phillips and Jeffrey Edison. pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Sub-advisor. Notwithstanding such delegation to the Sub-advisor, the Advisor retains ultimate responsibility for the performance of all the matters entrusted to it under the advisory agreement.

We invest primarily in well-occupied grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers having a mix of solidcreditworthy national and regional retailers selling necessity-based goods and services in strong demographic markets throughout the United States. In addition, we may invest in other retail properties including power and lifestyle shopping centers, multi-tenant shopping centers, free-standing single-tenant retail properties, and other real estate and real estate-related loans and securities depending on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities that we determine are in the best interests of our stockholders. We expect that retail properties primarily would underlie or secure the real estate-related loans and securities in which we may invest.

 As of December 31, 2013, we owned fee simple interests in 83 real estate properties acquired from third parties unaffiliated with us, the Advisor or the Sub-advisor.

On September 20, 2011, we entered into a joint venture with a group of institutional international investors advised by CBRE Investors Global Multi Manager (each a “Non-Controlling Interest”“CBRE Investor”). The joint venture iswas in the form of PECO-ARC Institutional Joint Venture I., L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Joint Venture”). We through an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, hold an approximate 54% interest in the Joint Venture and serve as the general partner and manage the operations of the Joint Venture. The Non-Controlling Interests hold the remaining approximate 46% interest.

The Joint Venture intendsPrior to investyear end, we indirectly held a 54% interest in grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers with acquisition costs of no more than $20 million per property. We have committed to contribute approximately $58.7 million to the Joint Venture, and the Non-Controlling Interests have committed to contribute $50CBRE Investors held the remaining 46% interest.  We contributed approximately $58.7 million, in cash. Through December 31, 2011, we have contributedthe form of equity interests in six wholly owned real estate properties (which we acquired for $63.0 million) to the Joint Venture.

Segment Data

We currently viewwe evaluate the collective performance of our real estate asset as one reportable segment.properties. Accordingly, we did not report any other segment disclosures in 2011.

2013.

Tax Status

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) beginning with the tax year ended December 31, 2010. Because we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, without the benefit of certain relief provisions, we will be subject to federal (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and state income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income, property or net worth, respectively, and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

Competition

We are subject to significant competition in seeking real estate investments and tenants. We compete with many third parties engaged in real estate investment activities including other REITs, specialty finance companies, savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, mutual funds, institutional investors, investment banking firms, lenders, hedge funds, governmental bodies and other entities. Some of these competitors, including larger REITs, have substantially greater financial resources than we do and generally enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies.

Economic Dependency

We are dependent on the Advisor, the Sub-advisor, Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), Phillips Edison & Company, Ltd. (the “Property Manager”) and their respective affiliates for certain services that are essential to us, including the sale of our shares of common stock, asset acquisition and disposition decisions and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that any of the above-mentioned affiliates are unable to provide such services, we would be required to find alternative service providers.

Employees

We do not have any employees. In addition, all of our executive officers are officers of Phillips Edison & Company or one or more of its affiliates and will be compensated by those entities, in part, for their service rendered to us. We do not separately compensate our executive officers for their service as officers.

The employees of Phillips Edison- or AR Capital-affiliated entities perform substantially all of the services related to our company. The expenses related to providing these services are charged to us based on time spent by these employees while providing services to

us, excluding those acquisition, disposition, property management, asset management, financing, and dispositionother services that are covered under separate fees charged to us. Our sponsors have not charged us for employee-related expenses other than expenses incurred in connection with our offering. The employee-related expenses organization andrelated to offering costs charged to us for the years ended December 31, 20112013 and December 31, 20102012 were $0.6$11.2 million and $1.5 million,$0, respectively. Also, $2.0 million of organization and offering costs incurred by the Sub-advisor on our behalf have not been charged to us or recorded in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. Whether these costs will be billed to us in the future is at the discretion of the Sub-advisor and will likely depend upon the success of our offering. There were no such unbilled costs for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Insurance

We believe that our properties are adequately insured.

Environmental Matters

As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws has not had a material adverse effect on our business, assets, or results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions, and we do not believe that our existing portfolio will require us to incur material expenditures to comply with these laws and regulations.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The factors described below represent our principal risks. Other factors may exist that we do not consider to be significant based on information that is currently available or that we are not currently able to anticipate. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed below could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. Potential investors and our stockholders may be referred to as “you” or “your” in this Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” section.

Risks Related to an Investment in Us

Because no public trading market for our shares currently exists, it is difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares and, if our stockholders are able to sell their shares, it will likely be at a substantial discount to the public offering price.

Our charter does not require our directors to seek stockholder approval to liquidate our assets by a specified date, nor does our charter require our directors to list our shares for trading on a national securities exchange by a specified date. There is no public market for our shares, and we currently have no plans to list our shares on a national securities exchange. Until our shares are listed, if ever, stockholders may not sell their shares unless the buyer meets the applicable suitability and minimum purchase standards. In addition, our charter prohibits the ownership of more than 9.8% in value of our aggregate outstanding stock or more than 9.8% in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our aggregate outstanding common stock, unless exempted by our board of directors, which may inhibit large investors from purchasing your shares. In its sole discretion, our board of directors could amend, suspend or terminate our share repurchase program upon 30 days’ notice. Further, the share repurchase program includes numerous restrictions that would limit a stockholder’s ability to sell his or her shares. Therefore, it is difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares promptly or at all. If a stockholder is able to sell his or her shares, it would likely be at a substantial discount to the public offering price.price of such shares. It is also likely that our shares would not be accepted as the primary collateral for a loan. Because of the illiquid nature of our shares, investors should purchase our shares only as a long-term investment and be prepared to hold them for an indefinite period of time.

We currently have substantial uninvested proceeds raised from our initial public offering, which we are seeking to invest on attractive terms. If we are unable to find suitable investments, we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives or pay distributions.

Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions depends primarily upon the performance of the Sub- advisor, acting on behalf of the Advisor, with respect to the acquisition of our investments. Competition from competing entities may reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us or increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell. We currently have substantial uninvested proceeds raised from our initial public offering, which we are seeking to invest on attractive terms. The large amount of proceeds raised in our primary offering increases the risk that we will be unable to invest all of the proceeds promptly on attractive terms. Even if we can invest our offering proceeds on attractive terms, if such proceeds are not invested promptly, our operations may suffer because we will continue to pay distributions to our stockholders at a 6.7% annualized rate while earning de minimis interest income on our offering proceeds. We can give no assurance that the Sub-advisor, acting on behalf of the Advisor, will be successful in obtaining suitable investments on financially attractive terms or that our objectives will be achieved. If we are unable to find suitable investments promptly, we will hold the proceeds from our offerings in an interest-bearing account or invest the proceeds in short-term assets. If we would continue to be unsuccessful in locating suitable investments, we may ultimately decide to liquidate or pay a special dividend. In the event we are unable to timely locate suitable investments, we may be unable or limited in our ability to pay distributions, and we may not be able to meet our investment objectives.

We have a limited operating history, and neither the Advisor nor the Sub-advisor has any prior operating history or any previous experience operating a public company, which makes our future performance difficult to predict.


We have a limited operating history and as of December 31, 2011,2013, we owned interests in seven83 real estate investments. Our stockholders should not assume that our performance will be similar to the past performance of other real estate investment programs sponsored by affiliates of the Advisor.

Advisor or affiliates of the Sub-advisor.


The Advisor and the Sub-advisor have limited operations as of the date of this report. Because previous Phillips Edison-sponsored programs were conducted through privately held entities, they were not subject to the up-front commissions, fees

and expenses associated with a public offering nor all of the laws and regulations that will apply to us. Our executive officers and directors have limited experience managing public companies. For all of these reasons, our stockholders should be especially cautious when drawing conclusions about our future performance, and you should not assume that it will be similar to the prior performance of other Phillips Edison- or AR Capital-sponsored programs. Our lack of an extensive operating history, the Advisor’s and the Sub-advisor’s lack of prior experience operating a public company, the differences between us and the private Phillips Edison-sponsored programs and our AR Capital sponsor’s limited experience in connection with investments of the type to be made by us significantly increase the risk and uncertainty our stockholders face in making an investment in our shares.

Our Dealer Manager has a limited operating history and our ability to implement our investment strategy is dependent, in part, upon the ability of our Dealer Manager to successfully conduct our offering, which makes an investment in us more speculative.

We have retained Realty Capital Securities, LLC, an affiliate of the Advisor, to conduct our offering. Realty Capital Securities, LLC has a limited operating history. The success of our offering, and our ability to implement our business strategy, is dependent upon the ability of Realty Capital Securities, LLC to build and maintain a network of broker-dealers to sell our shares to their clients. These broker-dealers may also be engaged by other REITs and they may choose to emphasize the sale of those REITs’ shares over the sale of our shares. If Realty Capital Securities, LLC is not successful in establishing, operating and managing this network of broker-dealers, our ability to raise proceeds through our offering will be limited and we may not have adequate capital to implement our investment strategy. If we are unsuccessful in implementing our investment strategy, our stockholders could lose all or a part of their investment.

If our Dealer Manager terminates its dealer manager relationship with us, our ability to successfully complete our offering and implement our investment strategy would be significantly impaired.

Our Dealer Manager has the right to terminate its relationship with us if, among other things, any of the following occur: (1) our voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy; (2) we materially change our business; (3) we become subject to a material action, suit,

proceeding or investigation; (4) we materially reduce the rate of any distribution we may pay in the future without its prior written consent; (5) we suspend or terminate our share repurchase program without its prior written consent; (6) the value of our common shares materially adversely changes; (7) a material breach of the dealer manager agreement by us (which breach has not been cured within the required timeframe); (8) our willful misconduct or a willful or grossly negligent breach of our obligations under the dealer manager agreement; (9) the issuance of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of our registration statement by the SEC and not rescinded within 10 business days of its issuance; or (10) the occurrence of any event materially adverse to us and our prospects or our ability to perform our obligations under the dealer manager agreement. If our Dealer Manager elects to terminate its relationship with us, our ability to complete our offering and implement our investment strategy would be significantly impaired and would increase the likelihood that our stockholders could lose all or a part of their investment.

Our joint venture arrangement with the Non-Controlling Interests reduces our control over our assets and could give rise to disputes with our joint venture partners, which could adversely affect the value of your investment in us.

Our joint venture with the Non-Controlling Interests involves risks not otherwise present when we own properties through wholly owned entities. For example:

Certain major decisions with respect to the Joint Venture require the approval of a majority of the executive committee of the Joint Venture. The committee includes two members appointed by the Non-Controlling Interests. Our inability to obtain majority approval may prevent us from executing transactions that would be in our best interest.


A dispute with respect to certain major decisions may give either party the right to trigger buy/sell rights. Should we instigate the buy/sell procedures, we would (at the election of the Non-Controlling Interests) have to sell our interests in the Joint Venture or buy the Non-Controlling Interests’ interest in the Joint Venture. Should the Non-Controlling Interests instigate the buy/sell procedures, we would have to choose between buying and selling our interest in the Joint Venture. If we are a seller under the buy/sell procedures, the terms of the sale may be less attractive than if we had held onto our investment; and if we are a buyer, we may be unable to finance such a buy-out or may have to incur indebtedness on unattractive terms or at levels that might not be in our best interest.

Our agreement with the Non-Controlling Interests limits certain direct and indirect transfers of our interest in the Joint Venture. As a result, we may be unable to sell our interest in the Joint Venture when we would otherwise like and we may be unable to sell large equity interests in us or certain subsidiaries to a large investor that would, as a result of the sale, directly or indirectly own 20% or more of the subsidiary through which we own our interest in the Joint Venture.

Our investments made through the Joint Venture will be held in a subsidiary REIT. If such subsidiary REIT were to fail to qualify as a REIT, our own REIT qualification could be threatened.

If we pay distributions from sources other than our fundscash flows from operations, we willmay not be able to sustain our distribution rate, we may have fewer funds available for investment in properties and other assets, and our stockholders’ overall returnreturns may be reduced.

Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from any source without limit. If we fund distributions from financings or the net proceeds from our offering or other sources,the issuance of securities, we will have fewer funds available for investment in real estate properties and other real estate-related assets, and our stockholders’ overall returns may be reduced. We expect to have little, if any, funds from operations available for distribution until we make substantial investments. Further, because we may receive income from interest or rents at various times during our fiscal year and because we may need funds from operations during a particular period to fund capital expenditures and other expenses, we expect that at least during the early stages of our development and from time to time during our operational stage, we will declare distributions in anticipation of funds that we expect to receive during a later period and we will pay these distributions in advance of our actual receipt of these funds. In these instances, we expect to use third-party borrowings to fund our distributions. At times, we may be forced to borrow funds to pay distributions during unfavorable market conditions or during periods when funds from operations are needed to make capital expenditures and other expenses, which could increase our operating costs. We may also fund such distributions from advances or contributions from our sponsors or from any deferral or waiver of fees by our advisor and sub-advisor. Furthermore, if we cannot cover our distributions with cash flows from operations, we may be unable to sustain our distribution rate.  For the year ended December 31, 2013, we paid distributions of $38.0 million, including distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan, and our cash flows from operations under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) were $18.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we paid distributions of $3.7 million, including distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan, and our GAAP cash flows from operations were $4.0 million.
Because the offering price in the DRP exceeds our net tangible book value per share, investors in the DRP will experience immediate dilution in the net tangible book value of their shares.

We are currently offering shares in the DRP at $9.50 per share. Our net tangible book value is a rough approximation of value calculated simply as gross book value of real estate assets plus cash and cash equivalents minus total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. Net tangible book value is used generally as a conservative measure of net worth that we do not believe reflects our estimated value per share. It is not intended to reflect the value of our assets upon an orderly liquidation of the company in accordance with our investment objectives. Our net tangible book value reflects dilution in the value of our common stock from the issue price as a result of (i) operating losses, excluding accumulated depreciation and amortization of real estate investments, (ii) cumulative distributions in excess of our earnings, (iii) fees paid in connection with our initial public offering, including selling commissions and marketing fees re-allowed by our dealer manager to participating broker dealers, (iv) the fees and expenses paid to the Advisor and Sub-advisor. To the extentSub-advisor in connection with the selection, acquisition, and management of our investments and (v) general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2013, our net tangible book value per share was $8.34. The offering price for shares in the DRP was not established on an independent basis and bears no relationship to the net value of our assets.
Continued disruptions in the financial markets and slow economic growth could adversely affect market rental rates, commercial real estate values and our ability to secure debt financing, service future debt obligations, or pay distributions exceedto our currentstockholders.

Despite improved access to capital for companies, the capital and accumulatedcredit markets continue to be subject to volatility and disruption. The health of the global capital markets remains a concern. The banking industry has experienced improved earnings and profits,is better capitalized, but the relatively low-growth economic environment has caused the markets to question whether financial institutions are truly appropriately capitalized. Lenders continue to work with borrowers to amend, extend and refinance existing loans; however, as more loans reach maturity, there is the potential for credit losses. The FDIC’s list of troubled financial institutions is still quite large, and the threat of more bank closings will continue to weigh on the financial markets.

Looking forward, it is unclear whether mortgage delinquencies have peaked and if there is refinancing capacity for maturities. We have relied on debt financing to finance our properties. As a stockholder’s tax basisresult of the uncertainties in our stock will be reduced and, to the extent distributions exceed a stockholder’s tax basis, the stockholder will generally recognize capital gain.

If we are unable to find suitable investments,credit markets, we may not be able to achieverefinance our investment objectivesexisting indebtedness or pay distributions.

Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions depends primarily upon the performance of the Sub-advisor, acting on behalf of the Advisor, with respect to the acquisition of our investments, including the ability to source loan origination opportunities for us. Competition from competing entities may reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us or increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell. Additionally, disruptions and dislocations in the credit markets have materially impacted the cost and availability of debt to finance real estate acquisitions, which is a key component of our acquisition strategy. This lack of available debt could result in a further reduction of suitable investment opportunities and create a competitive advantage to other entities that have greater financial resources than we do. We are also subject to competition in seeking to acquire

real estate-related investments. The more shares we sell in our offering, the greater our challenge will be to invest all of the net offering proceeds on attractive terms. We can give no assurance that the Sub-advisor, acting on behalf of the Advisor, will be successful in obtaining suitable investments on financially attractive terms or that our objectives will be achieved. If we are unable to find suitable investments promptly, we will hold the proceeds from our offering in an interest-bearing account or invest the proceeds in short-term assets. If we would continue to be unsuccessful in locating suitable investments, we may ultimately decide to liquidate. In the event we are unable to timely locate suitable investments, we may be unable or limited in our ability to pay distributions and we may not be able to meet our investment objectives.

Disruptions in the financial markets and challenging economic conditions could adversely impact the commercial mortgage market as well as the market for real estate-related debt investments generally, which could hinder our ability to implement our business strategy and generate returns to our stockholders.

We intend to allocate a small percentage of our portfolio to real estate-related investments such as mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans; debt and derivative securities related to real estate assets, including mortgage-backed securities; and the equity securities of other REITs and real estate companies. The returns available to investors in these investments are determined by: (1) the supply and demand for such investments, (2) the performance of the assets underlying the investments and (3) the existence of a market for such investments, which includes the ability to sell or finance such investments.

During periods of volatility, the number of buyers participating in the market may change at an accelerated pace. As liquidity or “demand” increases, the returns available to investors on new investments will decrease. Conversely, a lack of liquidity will cause the returns available to investors on new investments to increase.

Disruptions in the financial markets and challenging economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to secure debt financing on attractive terms, our ability to service any future indebtedness that we may incur and the values of our investments.

The capital and credit markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruption during 2008 and 2009. Liquidity in the global credit market has been severely contracted by these market disruptions, making it costly at times to obtain new lines of credit. We rely on debt financing to finance our properties and possibly other real estate-related investments. We may not be able to obtain additional debt financing on attractive terms. As such,If we are not able to refinance existing indebtedness on attractive terms at its maturity, we may be forced to use a greater proportion of our offering proceeds to finance our acquisitions, reducing the number of acquisitions we would otherwise make, or to dispose of some of our assets. If the current debt market environment worsens, we may modify our investment strategy in order to optimize our portfolio performance. Our options would include limiting or eliminating the use of debt and focusing on those higher-yielding investments that do not require the use of leverage to meet our portfolio goals.

Further disruptions in the financial markets and challengingslow economic conditionsgrowth could adversely affect the values of investments we acquire. Challengingour investments. Previous turmoil in the capital markets constrained equity and debt capital available for investment in commercial real estate, resulting in fewer buyers seeking to acquire commercial properties and lower property values. Furthermore, a decline in economic conditions could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values ofin our real estate properties and in the collateral securing any loan investments we may make. Theseportfolio, which could have the following negative effects on us:

the values of our investments in commercial propertiesgrocery-anchored shopping centers could decrease below the amounts we paypaid for such investments;

and

the value of collateral securing any loan investment that we may make could decrease below the outstanding principal amounts of such loans;

revenues from our properties we acquire could decrease due to fewer tenants and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to pay distributions or meet our debt service obligations on future debt financings; and

financing.

revenues on the properties and other assets underlying any loan investments we may make could decrease, making it more difficult for the borrower to meet its payment obligations to us.


All of these factors could impair our ability to make distributions to our investors and decrease the value of an investment in us.

We may suffer from delays in locating suitable investments, which could limit our ability to make distributions and lower the overall return on your investment.

We rely upon our sponsors and the real estate professionals affiliated with our sponsors to identify suitable investments. The private Phillips Edison-sponsored programs, especially those for which the offering proceeds have not been fully invested, rely on our Phillips Edison sponsors for investment opportunities. Similarly, the AR Capital-sponsored programs rely on our AR Capital sponsor for investment opportunities. To the extent that our sponsors and the other real estate professionals employed by the Advisor and Sub-advisor face competing demands upon their time at times when we have capital ready for investment, we may face delays in locating suitable investments. Further, the more money we raise in our offering, the more difficult it will be to invest the net offering proceeds promptly and on attractive terms. Therefore, the large size of our offering and the continuing high demand for the types of properties and other investments we desire to purchase increase the risk of delays in investing our net offering proceeds. Delays we encounter in the selection and acquisition or origination of income-producing assets would likely limit our ability to pay distributions to our

stockholders and lower their overall returns. Further, if we acquire properties prior to the start of construction or during the early stages of construction, it will typically take several months to complete construction and rent available space. Therefore, we could experience delays in the payment of cash distributions attributable to those particular properties.

We may change our targeted investments without stockholder consent.

We expect to allocate approximatelyat least 90.0% of our portfolio to investments in well-occupied, grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers leased to a mix of national, creditworthy retailers selling necessity-based goods and services in strong demographic markets throughout the United States with a focus on well-located shopping centers that are well occupied at the time of purchase and typically cost less than $20 million per property.States. We intend to allocate approximatelyno more than 10.0% of our portfolio to other real estate properties and real estate-related loans and securities such as mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans; debt and derivative securities related to real estate assets, including mortgage-backed securities; and the equity securities of other REITs and real estate companies. We do not expect our non-controllingnoncontrolling equity investments in other public companies to exceed 5.0% of the proceeds of our offering, assuming we sell the maximum offering amount. If we raise substantially less than the maximum offering amount and we acquire a real estate-related asset early in our offering stage, our investments in real estate-related loans and securities could constitute a greater percentage of our portfolio, although we do not expect those assets to represent a substantial portion of our assets at any one time.portfolio. Though this is our current target portfolio, we may make adjustments to our target portfolio based on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities, and we may change our targeted investments and investment guidelines at any time without the consent of our stockholders, which could result in our making investments that are different from, and possibly riskier than, our current targeted investments. A change in our targeted investments or investment guidelines may increase our exposure to interest rate risk, default risk and real estate market fluctuations, all of which could adversely affect the value of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

If we are unable to raise substantial funds, we will be limited in the number and type of investments we make and the value of our stockholders’ investments in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire.

Our offering is being made on a “best efforts” basis, meaning that the Dealer Manager is only required to use its best efforts to sell our shares and has no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares. As a result, the amount of proceeds we raise in our offering may be substantially less than the amount we would need to achieve a diversified portfolio of investments. If we are unable to raise substantial funds in our offering, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments that we make. In that case, the likelihood that any single asset’s performance would adversely affect our profitability will increase. Additionally, we are not limited in the number or size of our investments or the percentage of net proceeds we may dedicate to a single investment. Our stockholders’ investments in our shares will be subject to greater risk to the extent that we lack a diversified portfolio of investments. Further, we have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in our offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and cash flow and limiting our ability to make distributions.

Because we are dependent upon the Advisor, the Sub-advisor and their affiliates to conduct our operations, any adverse changes in the financial health of the Advisor, the Sub-advisor or their affiliates or our relationship with them could hinder our operating performance and the return on our stockholders’ investments.

We are dependent on the Sub-advisor, which is responsible for our day-to-day operations and is primarily responsible for the selection of our investments on behalf of the Advisor, and on the Advisor, which consultsmust jointly approve certain major decisions with the Sub-advisor with respect to acquisitions to be recommended to our board of directors.Sub-advisor. We are also dependent on the Property Manager to manage our portfolio of real estate assets. Neither the Advisor nor the Sub-advisor hashad any previous operating history prior to serving as our Advisor and Sub-advisor, and they depend upon the fees and other compensation that they receive from us in connection with the purchase, management and sale of assets to conduct their operations. Any adverse changes in the financial condition of the Advisor, the Sub-advisor, the Property Manager or certain of their affiliates or in our relationship with them could hinder their ability to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of investments.


The loss of or the inability to obtain key real estate professionals at the Advisor and the Sub-advisor or the Dealer Manager could delay or hinder implementation of our investment strategies, which could limit our ability to make distributions and decrease the value of your investment.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of Messrs.Nicholas Schorsch and William Kahane at the Advisor, and Dealer Manager,Jeffrey S. Edison, our Chief Executive Officer and Messrs. Phillips and Edison,the Chairman of our Board of Directors, John B. Bessey, our President,Co-President and Chief Investment Officer, R. Mark Addy, our Co-President and Chief Operating Officer, and Richard J. Smith,Devin I. Murphy, our Chief Financial Officer, at the Sub-advisor. We do not have employment agreements with these individuals, and they may not remain associated with us. If any of these persons were to cease their association with us, our operating results could suffer. We do not intend to maintain key person life insurance on any person. We believe that our future success depends, in large part, upon the Advisor’s, the Sub-advisor’s, and their respective affiliates’ ability to hire and retain highly skilled managerial, operational and marketing professionals. Competition for such professionals is intense, and the Advisor, the Sub-advisor and their respective affiliates may be unsuccessful in attracting and retaining such skilled individuals. Further, we intend to establish strategic relationships with

firms, as needed, that have special expertise in certain services or detailed knowledge regarding real properties in certain geographic regions. Maintaining such relationships will be important for us to effectively compete with other investors for properties and tenants in such regions. We may be unsuccessful in establishing and retaining such relationships. If we lose or are unable to obtain the services of highly skilled professionals or do not establish or maintain

appropriate strategic relationships, our ability to implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered, and the value of our stockholders’ investments may decline.

such an incident.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

Our sponsors and their respective affiliates, including all of our executive officers, some of our directors and other key real estate professionals, face conflicts of interest caused by their compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.

The Advisor and Sub-advisor and their respective affiliates receive substantial fees from us. These fees could influence the Advisor’s and Sub-advisor’s advice to us as well as their judgment with respect to:

the continuation, renewal or enforcement of our agreements with affiliates of our AR Capital sponsor, including the advisory agreement and the dealer-manager agreement;

the continuation, renewal or enforcement of our agreements with Phillips Edison and its affiliates, including the property management agreement;

the continuation, renewal or enforcement of the Advisor’s agreements with the Sub-advisor and their respective affiliates, including the sub-advisory agreement;

public offerings of equity by us, which will likely entitle the Advisor and the Sub-advisor to increased acquisition fees and asset-management fees;

compensation;

sales of properties and other investments to third parties, which entitle the Advisor and the Sub-advisor to disposition fees and possible subordinated incentive fees;

acquisitions of properties and other investments from other Phillips Edison- or AR Capital-sponsored programs, which might entitle affiliates of AR Capital or Phillips Edison to disposition fees and possible subordinated incentive fees in connection with its services for the seller;

programs;

acquisitions of properties and other investments from third parties, which entitle the Advisor and the Sub-advisor to acquisition and asset-management feescompensation and loan originations to third parties;

borrowings to acquire properties and other investments and to originate loans, which borrowings increase the acquisition fees, debt financing fees, and asset-management feescompensation payable to the Advisor and the Sub-advisor;

whether and when we seek to list our common stock on a national securities exchange, which listing could entitle the Advisor and the Sub-advisor to a subordinated incentive listing fee; and

whether and when we seek to sell the company or its assets, which sale could entitle the Advisor and the Sub-advisor to a subordinated share of cash flows.

participation in net sales proceeds.

The fees the Advisor and the Sub-advisor receive in connection with transactions involving the acquisition of assets are based initially on the cost of the investment, including costs related to loan originations, and are not based on the quality of the investment or the quality of the services rendered to us. This may influence the Advisor and the Sub-advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us. In addition, because the fees are based on the cost of the investment, it may create an incentive for the Advisor and the Sub-advisor to recommend that we purchase assets with more debt and at higher prices.

Because other real estate programs sponsored by our sponsors and offered through our Dealer Manager may conduct offerings concurrently with our offering, our sponsors and our Dealer Manager will face potential conflicts of interest arising from

competition among us and these other programs for investors and investment capital, and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor.

An affiliate of the Advisor is also the advisor of several other AR Capital-sponsored non-traded REITs that are raising capital in ongoing public offerings. Our Dealer Manager is also the dealer manager or is named in the registration statement as the dealer manager in multiple offerings, including some AR Capital sole-sponsored offerings, that are either effective or in registration. In addition, our sponsors may decide to sponsor future programs that would seek to raise capital through public offerings conducted concurrently with our offering. As a result, our sponsors and our Dealer Manager may face conflicts of interest arising from potential competition with these other programs for investors and investment capital. Our sponsors generally seek to avoid simultaneous public offerings by programs that have a substantially similar mix of investment attributes, including targeted investment types. Nevertheless, there may be periods during which one or more programs sponsored by our sponsors will be raising capital and might compete with us for investment capital. Such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, and you will not have the opportunity to evaluate the manner in which these conflicts of interest are resolved before or after making your investment.

The management of multiple REITs, especially REITs in the development stage, by the officers of the Advisor and Sub-advisor may significantly reduce the amount of time the officers of the Advisor and Sub-advisor are able to spend on activities related to us and may cause other conflicts of interest, which may cause our operating results to suffer.

The officers of the Advisor are part of the senior management or are key personnel of several other AR Capital-sponsored REITs and their advisors. The officers of the Sub-advisor are part of the senior management or are key personnel of one other Phillips Edison-sponsored REIT and its sub-advisor. Some of the AR Capital-sponsoredthese REITs have registration statements that are not yet effective and are in the development phase, while others have registration statements that became effective in the past six months.three years. As a result, such REITs will have concurrent and/or overlapping fundraising, acquisition, operational and disposition and liquidation phases as us, which may cause conflicts of interest to arise throughout the life of our company with respect to, among other things, finding investors, locating and acquiring properties, entering into leases and disposing of properties. Additionally, based on our AR Capital sponsor’s experience, a significantly greater time commitment is required of senior management during the development stage when the REIT is being organized, funds are initially being raised and funds are initially being invested, and less time is required as additional funds are raised and the offering matures. The conflicts of interest each of the officers of our advisorthe Advisor and Sub-advisor will face may delay our fund raising andthe investment of our offering proceeds due to the competing time demands and generally cause our operating results to suffer.

We compete for investors with other programs of our AR Capital sponsor, which could adversely affect the amount of capital we have to invest.

Our AR Capital sponsor is currently the sponsor of several other public offerings of non-traded REIT shares and a public offering of shares for a REIT that has applied for listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, which offerings will be ongoing during a significant portion of our offering period. These programs all have filed registration statements for the offering of common stock and intend to elect to be taxed as REITs. The offerings will likely occur concurrently with our offering, and our AR Capital sponsor is likely to sponsor other offerings during our offering period. Our Dealer Manager is the dealer manager for these other offerings. We will compete for investors with these other programs, and the overlap of these offerings with our offering could adversely affect our ability to raise all the capital we seek in our offering, the timing of sales of our shares and the amount of proceeds we have to spend on real estate investments.

Our sponsors face conflicts of interest relating to the acquisition of assets and leasing of properties, and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, meaning that we could invest in less attractive assets and obtain less creditworthy tenants, which could limit our ability to make distributions and reduce our stockholders’ overall investment return.

returns.

We rely on our sponsors and the executive officers and other key real estate professionals at the Advisor and Sub-advisor to identify suitable investment opportunities for us, with the Sub-advisor having primary responsibility for identifying suitable investments for us on our behalf of the Advisor. Our individual AR Capital and Phillips Edison sponsors and several of the other key real estate professionals of the Advisor and Sub-advisor are also the key real estate professionals at our entity sponsors and their other public and private programs. Many investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other Phillips Edison- or AR Capital-sponsored programs. Generally, until such time as we have substantially committed to the investment of the proceeds from our initial public offering, the Advisor and Sub-advisor will not pursue any opportunity to acquire any real estate properties or real estate-related loans and securities that are directly competitive with our investment strategies, unless and until the opportunity is first presented to us, subject to certain exceptions. For so long as we are externally advised, our charter provides that it shall not be a proper purpose of the corporation for us to purchase real estate or any significant asset related to real estate unless the Advisor or Sub-advisor has recommended the investment to us. Thus, the executive officers and real estate professionals of the Advisor and Sub-advisor could direct attractive investment opportunities to other entities or investors. Such events could result in us investing in properties that provide less attractive returns, which may reduce our ability to make distributions.

We and other Phillips Edison- and AR Capital-sponsored programs also rely on these real estate professionals to supervise the property management and leasing of properties. If the Advisor or Sub-advisor directs creditworthy prospective tenants to properties owned by another Phillips Edison- or AR Capital-sponsored program when they could direct such tenants to our properties, our tenant base may have more inherent risk than might otherwise be the case. Further, our executive officers and key real estate professionals

are not prohibited from engaging, directly or indirectly, in any business or from possessing interests in any other business venture or ventures, including businesses and ventures involved in the acquisition, development, ownership, leasing or sale of real estate investments.

The Advisor and Sub-advisor will face conflicts of interest relating to joint ventures that we may form with affiliates ofthe incentive fee structure under our sponsors,advisory agreement, which conflicts could result in actions that are not necessarily in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.
Under our advisory agreement, the Advisor and Sub-advisor or their affiliates will be entitled to fees that are structured in a disproportionate benefitmanner intended to provide incentives to the other venture partners atAdvisor and Sub-advisor to perform in our expense.

However, because neither the Advisor, the Sub-advisor nor any of directors, includingtheir affiliates maintain a majoritysignificant equity interest in us and are entitled to receive certain minimum compensation regardless of our independent directors, not otherwise interested inperformance, the transaction, we may enter into joint venture agreements with other sponsor-affiliated programs or entities for the acquisition, development or improvementinterests of properties or other investments. All of our executive officers, some of our directors and the key real estate professionals assembled by the Advisor and Sub-advisor are also executive officers, directors, managers, key professionalsnot wholly aligned with those of our stockholders. In that regard, the Advisor and Sub-advisor could be motivated to recommend riskier or holdersmore speculative investments in order for us to generate the specified levels of a direct

In addition, the Advisor’s and Sub-advisor’s entitlement to fees upon the sale of our assets and to participate in sale proceeds could result in the Advisor and Sub-advisor recommending sales of our investments at the earliest possible time at which sales of investments would produce the level of return that would entitle the Advisor and Sub-advisor to compensation relating to such sales, even if continued ownership of those investments might be in our best long-term interest. Our advisory agreement will require us to pay a performance-based termination fee to the Dealer ManagerAdvisor and Sub-advisor or other sponsor-affiliated entities.

consolidated financial statements.

Our sponsors, our officers, the Advisor, the Sub-advisor and the real estate and other professionals assembled by the Advisor and Sub-advisor face competing demands relating to their time, and this may cause our operations and our stockholders’ investment to suffer.

We rely on the Sub-advisor, acting on behalf of the Advisor, for the day-to-day operation of our business. In addition, the Sub-advisor has the primary responsibility for the selection of our investments on behalf of the Advisor. The Advisor consults with the Sub-advisor with respect to proposed acquisitions, and the Advisor and the Sub-advisor jointly recommend investment opportunities to our board of directors but in the event of a disagreement, the determination of the Sub-advisor will prevail. The Advisor and Sub-advisor also work jointly to make major decisions affecting us, all under the direction of our board of directors. The Advisor and Sub-advisor rely on our sponsors and their respective affiliates to conduct our business. Messrs. Phillips andMr. Edison are principalsis a principal of Phillips Edison and the affiliates that manage the assets of the other Phillips Edison-sponsored programs. Similarly, our individual AR Capital sponsors are key executives in other AR Capital-sponsored programs. As a result of their interests in other Phillips Edison- or AR Capital-sponsored programs, their obligations to other investors and the fact that they engage in and they will continue to engage in other business activities, these individuals will continue to face conflicts of interest in allocating their time among us and other Phillips Edison- or AR Capital-sponsored programs and other business activities in which they are involved. Should the Advisor or Sub-advisor breach its fiduciary duties to us by inappropriately devoting insufficient time or resources to our business, the returns on our investments and the value of our stockholders’ investments may decline.

The Advisor and Sub-advisor will face conflicts of interest relating to joint ventures that we may form with affiliates of our sponsors, which conflicts could result in a disproportionate benefit to the other venture partners at our expense.

If approved by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction, we may enter into joint venture agreements with other sponsor-affiliated programs or entities for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties or other investments. All of our executive officers, some of our directors and the key real estate professionals assembled by the Advisor and Sub-advisor are also executive officers, directors, managers, key professionals or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in the Advisor, the Sub-advisor, or other sponsor-affiliated entities. These persons will face conflicts of interest in determining which sponsor-affiliated program should enter into any particular joint venture agreement. These persons may also face a conflict in structuring the terms of the relationship between our interests and the interests of the sponsor-affiliated co-venturer and in managing the joint venture. Any joint venture agreement or transaction between us and a sponsor-affiliated co-venturer will not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiation of the type normally conducted between unrelated co-venturers. The sponsor-affiliated co-venturer may have economic or business interests or goals that are or may become inconsistent with our business interests or goals. These co-venturers may thus benefit to the detriment of us and our stockholders.

All of our executive officers, some of our directors and the key real estate and other professionals assembled by the Advisor Sub-advisor and Dealer ManagerSub-advisor face conflicts of interest related to their positions or interests in affiliates of our sponsors, which could hinder our ability to implement our business strategy and to generate returns to our stockholders.

All of our executive officers, some of our directors and the key real estate and other professionals assembled by the Advisor Sub-advisor and Dealer ManagerSub-advisor are also executive officers, directors, managers, key professionals or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interests in the Advisor, the Sub-advisor, our Dealer Manager or other sponsor-affiliated entities. Through our AR Capital sponsor’s affiliates, some of these persons work on behalf of AR Capital-sponsored programs that are currently raising capital publicly or are in registration to raise capital publicly. Through our Phillips Edison sponsor’s affiliates, some of these persons work on behalf of other Phillips Edison-sponsored private programs. As a result, they have loyalties to each of these entities, which loyalties could conflict with the fiduciary duties they owe to us and could result in action or inaction detrimental to our business. Conflicts with our business and interests are most likely to arise from (a) allocation of new investments and management time

10



and services between us and the other entities, (b) our purchase of properties from, or sale of properties to, affiliated entities, (c) development of our properties by affiliates, (d) investments with affiliates of the Advisor or Sub-advisor, (e) compensation to the Advisor or Sub-advisor, and (f) our relationship with the Advisor, Sub-advisor, Dealer Manager and Property Manager. If we do not successfully implement our business strategy, we may be unable to generate the cash needed to make distributions to our stockholders and to maintain or increase the value of our assets.

Although our sponsors and their affiliates have previously paid, forgiven or deferred certain fees and expenses related to us, there is no obligation by our sponsors or their affiliates to continue to do so in the future.

The Advisor and the Sub-advisor will reimburse us for all or a portion of the asset management fees paid in a given quarter if, as of the date of payment, our operating performance during the prior quarter has not been commensurate with our distributions during such period. We cannot assure you that the Advisor will be willing to renew our advisory agreement on terms that require the Advisor and Sub-advisor to continue to reimburse us for certain asset management fees. In addition, our sponsors have provided $228,000 towards

certain of our general and administrative expenses as a capital contribution since inception. Our sponsors have not received, and will not receive, additional equity securities or any reimbursement for this contribution. Our sponsors do not intend to make further capital contributions to continue to fund certain of our general and administrative expenses. Also, approximately $2.0 million of organization and offering costs incurred by the Sub-Advisor on our behalf has not been charged to us. Organization and offering cost reimbursements may not exceed 1.5% of the gross proceeds raised through our offering. Whether these organization and offering costs incurred by the Sub-Advisor will be billed is dependent upon the success of our public offering and the discretion of the Sub-Advisor.

Risks Related to Our Offering and Our Corporate Structure

Our stockholders may be more likely to sustain a loss on their investment because our sponsors do not have as strong an economic incentive to avoid losses as do sponsors who have made significant equity investments in their companies.

Our sponsors have initially invested only $428,000 in us through our Phillips Edison sponsor’s purchase of 20,000 shares of our common stock at $10.00 per share and through the contribution of $228,000 towards certain of our general and administrative expenses in 2010. Therefore, if we are successful in raising enough proceeds to reimburse our sponsors for our significant organization and offering expenses, our sponsors will have little exposure to loss in the value of our shares. Without this exposure, our investors may be at a greater risk of loss because our sponsors do not have as much to lose from a decrease in the value of our shares as do those sponsors who make more significant equity investments in their companies.

The offering price of our shares was not established in reliance on a valuation of our assets and liabilities; the actual value of your investment may be substantially less than what you pay.

We may use the most recent price paid to acquire a share in our initial public or a follow-on public offering as the estimated value of our shares until we have completed our offering stage. Even when the Advisor begins to use other valuation methods to estimate the value of our shares, the value of our shares will be based upon a number of assumptions that may not be accurate or complete.

We established the offering price of our shares on an arbitrary basis. The selling price of our shares bears no relationship to our book or asset values or to any other established criteria for valuing shares. Because the offering price is not based upon any valuation (independent or otherwise), the offering price is likely to be higher than the proceeds that you would receive upon liquidation or a resale of your shares if they were to be listed on an exchange or actively traded by broker-dealers, especially in light of the upfront fees that we pay in connection with the issuance of our shares.

To assist FINRA members and their associated persons that participateparticipated in thisour initial public offering, pursuant to FINRA Rule 2310, we disclose in each annual report distributed to stockholders a per share estimated value of our shares, the method by which it was developed, and the date of the data used to develop the estimated value. For this purpose, the Advisor estimated the value of our common shares as $10.00 per share as of December 31, 2011.2013. The basis for this valuation is the fact that the offering price of our shares of common stock in our initial public offering iswas $10.00 per share (ignoring purchase price discounts for certain categories of purchasers). The Advisor has indicated that it intends to use the most recent price paid to acquire a share in our initial public offering (ignoring purchase price discounts for certain categories of purchasers) or a follow-on public offering as its estimated per share value of our shares until we have completed our offering stage. We will consider our offering stage complete when we are no longer publicly offering equity securities – whether through our initial public offering or follow-on public offerings – and have not done so for up to 18 months. If our board of directors determines that it is in our best interest, we may conduct follow on offerings upon the termination of our initial public offering. Our charter does not restrict our ability to conduct offerings in the future. (For purposes of this definition, we do not consider a “public equity offering” to include offerings on behalf of selling stockholders or offerings related to a dividend reinvestment plan, employee benefit plan or the redemption of interests in our operating partnership.the Operating Partnership.)

Although this initial estimated value represents the most recent price at which most investors arewere willing to purchase shares in our initial public offering, this reported value is likely to differ from the price that a stockholder would receive in the near term upon a resale of his or her shares or upon a liquidation of the our assets because (i) there is no public trading market for the shares at this time; (ii) the $10.00 primary offering price involves the payment of underwriting compensation and other directed selling efforts, which payments and efforts are likely to produce a higher sale price than could otherwise be obtained; (iii) estimated value does not reflect, and is not derived from, the fair market value of our assets becauseand ignores the amount of proceeds available for investment from our primary public offering is netpayment of selling commissions, dealer manager fees, other organization and offering costs and acquisition and fees and expenses; (iv) the estimated value does not take into account how market fluctuations affect the value of our investments, including how the current disruptions in the financial and real estate markets may affect the values of our investments; and (v) the estimated value does not take into account how developments related to individual assets may have increased or decreased the value of our portfolio.

When determining the estimated value of our shares by methods other than the last price paid to acquire a share in an offering, the Advisor, or anotheran independent firm we choose for that purpose will estimate the value of our shares based upon a number of assumptions that

may not be accurate or complete. Accordingly, these estimates may or may not be an accurate reflection of the fair market value of our investments and will not likely represent the amount of net proceeds that would result from an immediate sale of our assets.

The actual value of shares that we repurchase under our share repurchase program may be substantially less than what we pay.

Under our share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased at varying prices depending on (a) the number of years the shares have been held, (b) the purchase price paid for the shares and (c) whether the redemptions are sought upon a stockholder’s death, qualifying disability or determination of incompetence. The maximum price that may be paid under the program is $10.00 per share, which iswas the offering price of our shares of common stock in the primary portion of our initial public offering (ignoring purchase price discounts for certain categories of purchasers) and, as described above, the initial estimated value of our common shares disclosed to assist FINRA members and their associated persons that participate in this offering, pursuant to FINRA Rule 2310.. Although this initial estimated value represents the most recent price at which most investors arewere willing to purchase shares in our primary offering, this reported value is likely to differ from the price at which a stockholder could resell his or her shares for the reasons discussed in the risk factor above. Thus, when we repurchase shares of our common stock at $10.00 per share, the actual value of the shares that we repurchase is likely to be less, and the repurchase is likely to be dilutive to our remaining stockholders. Even at lower repurchase prices, the actual value of the shares may be substantially less than what we pay, and the repurchase may be dilutive to our remaining stockholders.

Our charter limits the number of shares a person may own, which may discourage a takeover that could otherwise result in a premium price to our stockholders.

Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT. To help us comply with the REIT ownership requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, among other purposes, our charter prohibits a person from directly or constructively owning more than 9.8% in value of our aggregate outstanding stock or more than 9.8% in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our aggregate outstanding common stock, unless exempted by our board of directors. This restriction may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our common stock.

Our charter permits our board of directors to issue stock with terms that may subordinate the rights of our common stockholders or discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that could result in a premium price to our stockholders.

Our board of directors may classify or reclassify any unissued common stock or preferred stock and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption of any such stock. Thus, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of preferred stock with priority as to distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation over the rights of the holders of our common stock. Such preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price to holders of our common stock.

Because Maryland law permits our board to adopt certain anti-takeover measures without stockholder approval, investors may be less likely to receive a “control premium” for their shares.

In 1999, the State of Maryland enacted legislation that enhances the power of Maryland corporations to protect themselves from unsolicited takeovers. Among other things, the legislation permits our board, without stockholder approval, to amend our charter to:

•      stagger our board of directors into three classes;

•      require a two-thirds stockholder vote for removal of directors;

•      provide that only the board can fix the size of the board;

and

provide that all vacancies on the board, however created, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors in office; and

•      require that special stockholder meetings may only be called by holders of a majority of the voting shares entitled to be cast at the meeting.

Under Maryland law, a corporation can opt to be governed by some or all of these provisions if it has a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act, and has at least three independent directors. Our charter does not prohibit our board of directors from opting into any of the above provisions permitted under Maryland law. Becoming governed by any of these provisions could discourage an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our securities.

Our stockholders have limited control over changes in our policies and operations, which increases the uncertainty and risks our stockholders face.

Our board of directors determines our major policies, including our policies regarding financing, growth, debt capitalization, REIT qualification and distributions. Our board of directors may amend or revise these and other policies without a vote of the stockholders. Under the Maryland General Corporation Law and our charter, our stockholders have a right to vote only on limited matters. Our board’s broad discretion in setting policies and our stockholders’ inability to exert control over those policies increases the uncertainty and risks our stockholders face.

Our stockholders may not be able to sell their shares under our share repurchase program and, if they are able to sell their shares under the program, they may not be able to recover the amount of their investment in our shares.

Our share repurchase program includes numerous restrictions that limit our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares. During any calendar year, we may purchase no more than 5.0% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. Our stockholders must hold their shares for at least one year in order to participate in the share repurchase program, except for repurchases sought upon a stockholder’s death or “qualifying disability.” The cash available for redemption

12



on any particular date is generally limited to the proceeds from the DRP during the period consisting of the preceding four fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available, less any cash already used for redemptions during the same period; however, subject to the limitations described above, we may use other sources of cash at the discretion of our board of directors. These limitations do not, however, apply to repurchase sought upon a stockholder’s death or “qualifying disability.” Only those stockholders who purchased their shares from us or received their shares from us (directly or indirectly) through one or more non-cash transactions may be able to participate in the share repurchase program. In other words, once our shares are transferred for value by a stockholder, the transferee and all subsequent holders of the shares are not eligible to participate in the share repurchase program. These limits may prevent us from accommodating all repurchase requests made in any year. These restrictions would severely limit your ability to sell your shares should you require liquidity and would limit your ability to recover the value you invested. Our board is free to amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program upon 30 days’ notice.

Our stockholders’ interests in us will be diluted if we issue additional shares, which could reduce the overall value of our stockholders’ investment.

Our common stockholders do not have preemptive rights to any shares we issue in the future. Our charter authorizes us to issue 1,010,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 1,000,000,000 shares are designated as common stock and 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock. Our board of directors may amend our charter to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of capital stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue without stockholder approval. After our investors purchasepurchased shares in our initial public offering, our board may elect to (1) sell additional shares in this orthe DRP and future public offerings, (2) issue equity interests in private offerings, (3) issue share-based awards to our independent directors or to our officers or employees or to the officers or employees of the Advisor or Sub-advisor or any of their affiliates, (4) issue shares to the Advisor or Sub-advisor, or its successors or assigns, in payment of an outstanding fee obligation or (5) issue shares of our common stock to sellers of properties or assets we acquire in connection with an exchange of limited partnership interests of the operating partnership.Operating Partnership. To the extent we issue additional equity interests after our investors purchasehave purchased shares in our offering, their percentage ownership interest in us will be diluted. In addition, depending upon the terms and pricing of any additional offerings and the value of our real estate investments, our investors may also experience dilution in the book value and fair value of their shares.

Payment of fees to the Advisor, the Sub-advisor and their respective affiliates reduce cash available for investment and distribution and increases the risk that our stockholders will not be able to recover the amount of their investments in our shares.

The Advisor, the Sub-advisor and their respective affiliates perform or performed services for us in connection with the sale of shares in our initial public offering, the selection and acquisition of our investments, the management and leasing of our properties and the administration of our other investments. We currently pay or have paid them substantial fees for these services, which results in immediate dilution to the value of our stockholders’ investments and reduces the amount of cash available for investment or distribution to stockholders. Depending primarily We may also pay significant fees during our listing/liquidation stage. Although most of the fees payable during our listing/liquidation stage are contingent on our stockholders first enjoying agreed‑upon investment returns, the number of shares we sellinvestment-return thresholds may be reduced subject to approval by our conflicts committee and the other limitations in our offering and assumingcharter.

Therefore, these fees increase the risk that the amount available for distribution to common stockholders upon a $10.00 purchase price for shares sold in the primary offering and a $9.50 purchase price for shares sold under the dividend reinvestment plan, we estimate that approximately 87.2% of the gross proceeds will be available to make investments in real estate properties and other real estate-related loans and securities. We will use the remainder of the offering proceeds to pay the costsliquidation of our offering, including selling commissions andportfolio would be less than the dealer manager fee, andprice paid by our stockholders to pay a fee to the Advisor and the Sub-advisor for their servicespurchase shares in connection with the selection, acquisition and financing of properties, and to repurchase shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program.

initial public offering. These substantial fees and other payments also increase the risk that our stockholders will not be able to resell their shares at a profit, even if our shares are listed on a national securities exchange.

If we are unable to obtain funding for future capital needs, cash distributions to our stockholders and the value of our investments could decline.

When tenants do not renew their leases or otherwise vacate their space, we will often need to expend substantial funds for improvements to the vacated space in order to attract replacement tenants. Even when tenants do renew their leases, we may agree to make improvements to their space as part of our negotiation. If we need additional capital in the future to improve or maintain our properties or for any other reason, we may have to obtain financing from sources, beyond our funds from operations, such as borrowings or future equity offerings. These sources of funding may not be available on attractive terms or at all. If we cannot procure additional funding for capital improvements, our investments may generate lower cash flows or decline in value, or both, which would limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and could reduce the value of your investment.



13



Although we are not currently afforded the protection of the Maryland General Corporation Law relating to deterring or defending hostile takeovers, our board of directors could opt into these provisions of Maryland law in the future, which may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and may prevent our stockholders from receiving a premium price for their stock in connection with a business combination.

Under Maryland law, “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and certain interested stockholders or affiliates of interested stockholders are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. Also under Maryland law, control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by stockholders by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares owned by the acquirer, an officer of the corporation or an employee of the corporation who is also a director of the corporation are excluded from the vote on whether to accord voting rights to the control shares. Should our board opt into these provisions of Maryland law, it may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer. Similarly, provisions of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the Maryland General Corporation Law could provide similar anti-takeover protection.

General Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate

Economic and regulatory changes that impact the real estate market generally may decrease the value of our investments and weaken our operating results.

Our properties and their performance are subject to the risks typically associated with real estate, including:

downturns in national, regional and local economic conditions;

increased competition for real estate assets targeted by our investment strategy;

adverse local conditions, such as oversupply or reduction in demand for similar properties in an area and changes in real estate zoning laws that may reduce the desirability of real estate in an area;

vacancies, changes in market rental rates and the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-let space;

changes in interest rates and the availability of permanent mortgage financing, which may render the sale of a property or loan difficult or unattractive;

changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws;

periods of high interest rates and tight money supply; and

the illiquidity of real estate investments generally.

Any of the above factors, or a combination thereof, could result in a decrease in the value of our investments, which would have an adverse effect on our operations, on our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders and on the value of our stockholders’ investments.

We depend on our tenants for revenue, and, accordingly, our revenue and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants.

We depend upon tenants for revenue. Rising vacancies across commercial real estate have resultedresult in increased pressure on real estate investors and their property managers to find new tenants and keep existing tenants. A property may incur vacancies either by the expiration of a tenant lease, the continued default of a tenant under its lease or the early termination of a lease by a tenant. If vacancies continue for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash available to distribute to stockholders. In order to maintain tenants, we may have to offer inducements, such as free rent and tenant improvements, to compete for attractive tenants. In addition, if we are unable to attract additional or replacement tenants, the resale value of the property could be diminished, even below our cost to acquire the property, because the market value of a particular property depends principally upon the value of

the cash flow generated by the leases associated with that property. Such a reduction on the resale value of a property could also reduce the value of our stockholders’ investments.

Retail conditions may adversely affect our base rent and subsequently, our income.

Some of our leases may provide for base rent plus contractual base rent increases. A number of our retail leases may also include a percentage rent clause for additional rent above the base amount based upon a specified percentage of the sales our tenants generate. Under those leases that contain percentage rent clauses, our revenue from tenants may increase as the sales of our tenants increase.

14




Generally, retailers face declining revenues during downturns in the economy. As a result, the portion of our revenue which we may derive from percentage rent leases could decline upon a general economic downturn.

Our revenue will be affected by the success and economic viability of our anchor retail tenants. Our reliance on single or significant tenants in certain buildings may decrease our ability to lease vacated space and adversely affect the returns on our stockholders’ investments.

In the retail sector, a tenant occupying all or a large portion of the gross leasable area of a retail center, commonly referred to as an anchor tenant, may become insolvent, may suffer a downturn in business, or may decide not to renew its lease.lease, or may decide to cease its operations at the retail center but continue to pay rent. Any of these events wouldcould result in a reduction or cessation in rental payments to us and wouldcould adversely affect our financial condition. A lease termination or cessation of operations by an anchor tenant could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants whose leases may permit cancellation or rent reduction if another tenant’stenant terminates its lease is terminated.or ceases its operations at that shopping center. In such event, we may be unable to re-lease the vacated space. Similarly, the leases of some anchor tenants may permit the anchor tenant to transfer its lease to another retailer. The transfer to a new anchor tenant could cause customer traffic in the retail center to decrease and thereby reduce the income generated by that retail center. A lease transfer to a new anchor tenant could also allow other tenants to make reduced rental payments or to terminate their leases. In the event that we are unable to re-lease the vacated space to a new anchor tenant, we may incur additional expenses in order to re-model the space to be able to re-lease the space to more than one tenant.

The recent economic downturn in the United States has had an adverse impact on the retail industry generally. Slow or negative growth in the retail industry could result in defaults by retail tenants, which could have an adverse impact on our financial operations.

The recent economic downturn in the United States has had an adverse impact on the retail industry generally. As a result, the retail industry is facing reductions in sales revenues and increased bankruptcies throughout the United States. A continuation of adverse economic conditions would result in an increase in distressed or bankrupt retail companies, which in turn would result in an increase in defaults by tenants at our commercial properties. Additionally, slow economic growth would likely hinder new entrants into the retail market, which would make it difficult for us to fully lease the real properties that we plan to acquire. Tenant defaults and decreased demand for retail space would have an adverse impact on the value of the retail properties that we plan to acquire and our results of operations.

We anticipate that our properties will consist primarily of retail properties. Our performance, therefore, is linked to the market for retail space generally.

The market for retail space has been and could be adversely affected by weaknesses in the national, regional and local economies, the adverse financial condition of some large retailing companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector, excess amounts of retail space in a number of markets and competition for tenants with other shopping centers in our markets. Customer traffic to these shopping areas may be adversely affected by the closing of stores in the same shopping center, or by a reduction in traffic to such stores resulting from a regional economic downturn, a general downturn in the local area where our store is located, or a decline in the desirability of the shopping environment of a particular shopping center. Such a reduction in customer traffic could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A high concentration of our properties in a particular geographic area, or with tenants in a similar industry, would magnify the effects of downturns in that geographic area or industry.

We expect that our properties will be diverse according to geographic area and industry of our tenants. However, in the event that we have a concentration of properties in any particular geographic area, any adverse situation that disproportionately affects that geographic area would have a magnified adverse effect on our portfolio. Similarly, if tenants of our properties are concentrated in a certain industry or retail category, any adverse effect on that industry generally would have a disproportionately adverse effect on our portfolio.

Our retail tenants face competition from numerous retail channels, which may reduce our profitability and ability to pay distributions.

Retailers at our properties face continued competition from discount or value retailers, factory outlet centers, wholesale clubs, mail order catalogues and operators, television shopping networks and Internet shopping. Such competition could adversely affect our tenants and, consequently, our revenues and funds available for distribution.

If we enter into long-term leases with retail tenants, those leases may not result in fair value over time.

Long-term leases do not typically allow for significant changes in rental payments and do not expire in the near term. If we do not accurately judge the potential for increases in market rental rates when negotiating these long-term leases, significant increases in future property operating costs could result in receiving less than fair value from these leases. Such circumstances would adversely affect our revenues and funds available for distribution.


15



The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant may adversely impact our operations and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders.

The bankruptcy or insolvency of a significant tenant or a number of smaller tenants may have an adverse impact on financial condition and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. Generally, under bankruptcy law, a debtor tenant has 120 days to exercise the option of assuming or rejecting the obligations under any unexpired lease for nonresidential real property, which period may be extended once by the bankruptcy court. If the tenant assumes its lease, the tenant must cure all defaults under the lease and may be required to provide adequate assurance of its future performance under the lease. If the tenant rejects the lease, we will have a claim against the tenant’s bankruptcy estate. Although rent owing for the period between filing for bankruptcy and rejection of the lease may be afforded administrative expense priority and paid in full, pre-bankruptcy arrears and amounts owing under the remaining term of the lease will be afforded general unsecured claim status (absent collateral securing the claim). Moreover, amounts owing under the remaining term of the lease will be capped. Other than equity and subordinated claims, general unsecured claims are the last claims paid in a bankruptcy, and therefore, funds may not be available to pay such claims in full.

If a sale-leaseback transaction is re-characterized in a tenant’s bankruptcy proceeding, our financial condition could be adversely affected.

We may enter into sale-leaseback transactions, whereby we would purchase a property and then lease the same property back to the person from whom we purchased it. In the event of the bankruptcy of a tenant, a transaction structured as a sale-leaseback may be re-characterized as either a financing or a joint venture, either of which outcomes could adversely affect our financial condition, cash flow and the amount available for distributions to our stockholders.

If the sale-leaseback were re-characterized as a financing, we might not be considered the owner of the property, and as a result would have the status of a creditor in relation to the tenant. In that event, we would no longer have the right to sell or encumber our ownership interest in the property. Instead, we would have a claim against the tenant for the amounts owed under the lease, with the claim arguably secured by the property. The tenant/debtor might have the ability to propose a plan restructuring the term, interest rate and amortization schedule of its outstanding balance. If confirmed by the bankruptcy court, we could be bound by the new terms, and prevented from foreclosing our lien on the property. If the sale-leaseback were re-characterized as a joint venture, we and our lessee could be treated as co-venturers with regard to the property. As a result, we could be held liable, under some circumstances, for debts incurred by the lessee relating to the property.

Competition with third parties in acquiring properties and other investments may reduce our profitability and the return on our stockholders’ investments.

We face competition from various entities for investment opportunities in retail properties, including other REITs, pension funds, insurance companies, investment funds and companies, partnerships, and developers. Many of these entities have substantially greater financial resources than we do and may be able to accept more risk than we can prudently manage, including risks with respect to the creditworthiness of a tenant or the geographic location of its investments. Competition from these entities may reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us or increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell.

Properties that have significant vacancies could be difficult to sell, which could diminish the return on these properties.

A property may incur vacancies either by the expiration of a tenant lease, the continued default of a tenant under its lease or the early termination of a lease by a tenant. If vacancies continue for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash available to distribute to stockholders. In addition, the resale value of the property could be diminished because the market value of a particular property depends principally upon the value of the cash flow generated by the leases associated with that property. Such a reduction on the resale value of a property could also reduce the value of our stockholders’ investments.

Changes in supply of or demand for similar real properties in a particular area may increase the price of real properties we seek to purchase and decrease the price of real properties when we seek to sell them.

The real estate industry is subject to market forces. We are unable to predict certain market changes including changes in supply of, or demand for, similar real properties in a particular area. Any potential purchase of an overpriced asset could decrease our rate of return on these investments and result in lower operating results and overall returns to our stockholders.

We may be unable to adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions or sell a property if or when we decide to do so, limiting our ability to pay cash distributions to our stockholders.

Many factors that are beyond our control affect the real estate market and could affect our ability to sell properties for the price, on the terms or within the time frame that we desire. These factors include general economic conditions, the availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand. Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, we have a limited ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Further, before we can sell a property on the terms we want, it may be necessary to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements. However, we can give no assurance that we will have the funds available to correct such defects or to make such improvements. We may be unable to sell our properties at a profit. Our inability to sell properties at the time and on the terms we want could reduce our cash flow and limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and could reduce the value of our stockholders’ investments. Moreover, in acquiring a property, we may agree to restrictions that prohibit the sale of that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. We cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property. Our inability to sell a property when we desire to do so may cause us to reduce our selling price for the property. Any delay in our receipt of proceeds, or diminishment of proceeds, from the sale of a property could adversely impact our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.



16



We have acquired, and may continue to acquire or finance, properties with lock-out provisions, which may prohibit us from selling a property, or may require us to maintain specified debt levels for a period of years on some properties.

A lock-out provision is a provision that prohibits the prepayment of a loan during a specified period of time. Lock-out provisions may include terms that provide strong financial disincentives for borrowers to prepay their outstanding loan balance and exist in order to protect the yield expectations of lenders. We expectcurrently own properties, and may acquire additional properties in the future, that many of our properties will beare subject to lock-out provisions. Lock-out provisions could materially restrict us from selling or otherwise disposing of or refinancing properties when we may desire to do so. Lock-out provisions may prohibit us from reducing the outstanding indebtedness with respect to any properties, refinancing such indebtedness on a non-recourse basis at maturity, or increasing the amount of indebtedness with respect to such properties. Lock-out provisions could impair our ability to take other actions during the lock-out period that could be in the best interests of our stockholders and, therefore, may have an adverse impact on the value of our shares relative to the value that would result if the lock-out provisions did not exist. In particular, lock-out provisions could preclude us from participating in major transactions that could result in a disposition of our assets or a change in control even though that disposition or change in control might be in the best interests of our stockholders.

If we sell a property by providing financing to the purchaser, we will bear the risk of default by the purchaser, which could delay or reduce the distributions available to our stockholders.

If we decide to sell any of our properties, we intend to use our best efforts to sell them for cash; however, in some instances, we may sell our properties by providing financing to purchasers. When we provide financing to a purchaser, we will bear the risk that the purchaser may default, which could reduce our cash distributions to stockholders. Even in the absence of a purchaser default, the distribution of the proceeds of the sale to our stockholders, or the reinvestment of the proceeds in other assets, will be delayed until the promissory notes or other property we may accept upon a sale are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed. In some cases, we may receive initial down payments in cash and other property in the year of sale in an amount less than the selling price, and subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years. If any purchaser defaults under a financing arrangement with us, it could negatively impact our ability to pay cash distributions to our stockholders.

Potential development and construction delays and resultant increased costs and risks may hinder our operating results and decrease our net income.

We may from time to time acquire unimproved real property or properties that are under development or construction. Investments in such properties are subject to the uncertainties associated with the development and construction of real property, including those related to re-zoning land for development, environmental concerns of governmental entities or community groups and our builders’ ability to build in conformity with plans, specifications, budgeted costs and timetables. If a builder fails to perform, we may resort to legal action to rescind the purchase or the construction contract or to compel performance. A builder’s performance may also be affected or delayed by conditions beyond the builder’s control. Delays in completing construction could also give tenants the right to terminate preconstruction leases. We may incur additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or other advances to builders before they complete construction. These and other factors can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment.

In addition, we will be subject to normal lease-up risks relating to newly constructed projects. We also must rely on rental income and expense projections and estimates of the fair market value of property upon completion of construction when agreeing upon a purchase price at the time we acquire the property. If our projections are inaccurate, we may pay too much for a property, and the return on our investment could suffer.

If we contract with a development company for newly developed property, our earnest money deposit made to the development company may not be fully refunded.

We may enter into one or more contracts, either directly or indirectly through joint ventures with affiliates or others, to acquire real property from a development company that is engaged in construction and development of commercial real properties. Properties acquired from a development company may be either existing income-producing properties, properties to be developed or properties under development. We anticipate that we will be obligated to pay a substantial earnest money deposit at the time of contracting to acquire such properties. In the case of properties to be developed by a development company, we anticipate that we will be required to close the purchase of the property upon completion of the development of the property. At the time of contracting and the payment of the earnest money deposit by us, the development company typically will not have acquired title to any real property. Typically, the development company will only have a contract to acquire land, a development agreement to develop a building on the land and an agreement with one or more tenants to lease all or part of the property upon its completion. We may enter into such a contract with the development company even if at the time we enter into the contract, we have not yet raised sufficient proceeds in our offering to enable us to close the purchase of such property. However, we may not be required to close a purchase from the development company, and may be entitled to a refund of our earnest money, in the following circumstances:

the development company fails to develop the property;

all or a specified portion of the pre-leased tenants fail to take possession under their leases for any reason; or

we are unable to raise sufficient proceeds from our offering to pay the purchase price at closing.

The obligation of the development company to refund our earnest money will be unsecured, and we may not be able to obtain a refund of such earnest money deposit from it under these circumstances since the development company may be an entity without substantial assets or operations.

Our joint venture partners could take actions that decrease the value of an investment to us and lower our stockholders’ overall return.

We have entered into a joint venture and may enter into additional joint ventures with third parties, including entities that are affiliated with the Advisor or Sub-advisor, to acquire properties and other assets. We may also purchase and develop properties in joint ventures or in partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with the sellers of the properties, affiliates of the sellers, developers or other persons. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present with other methods of investment, including, for example, the following risks:

that our co-venturer, co-tenant or partner in an investment could become insolvent or bankrupt;

that such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals that are or that become inconsistent with our business interests or goals;

that such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives;

the possibility that we may incur liabilities as a result of an action taken by such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner;

that disputes between us and a co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business;

the possibility that if we have a right of first refusal or buy/sell right to buy out a co-venturer, co-owner or partner, we may be unable to finance such a buy-out if it becomes exercisable, or we may be required to purchase such interest at a time when it would not otherwise be in our best interest to do so; or

the possibility that we may not be able to sell our interest in the joint venture if we desire to exit the joint venture.

Under certain joint venture arrangements, neither venture partner may have the power to control the venture, and an impasse could be reached, which might have a negative influence on the joint venture and decrease potential returns to our stockholders. In addition, to the extent that our venture partner or co-tenant is an affiliate of the Advisor or Sub-advisor, certain conflicts of interest will exist. Any of the above might subject a property to liabilities in excess of those contemplated and thus reduce our returns on that investment and the value of our stockholders’ investments.


We may obtain only limited warranties when we purchase a property and would have only limited recourse in the event our due diligence did not identify any issues that lower the value of our property.

The seller of a property often sells such property in its “as is” condition on a “where is” basis and “with all faults,” without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase agreements may contain only limited warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. The purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk that we may lose some or all of our invested capital in the property, as well as the loss of rental income from that property.

CC&Rs may restrict our ability to operate a property.

We expect that some of our properties will be contiguous to other parcels of real property, comprising part of the same retail center. In connection with such properties, we will be subject to significant covenants, conditions and restrictions, known as “CC

17



“CC&Rs,” restricting the operation of such properties and any improvements on such properties, and related to granting easements on such properties. Moreover, the operation and management of the contiguous properties may impact such properties. Compliance with CC&Rs may adversely affect our operating costs and reduce the amount of funds that we have available to pay distributions to our stockholders.

If we set aside insufficient capital reserves, we may be required to defer necessary capital improvements.

If we do not have enough reserves for capital to supply needed funds for capital improvements throughout the life of the investment in a property and there is insufficient cash available from our operations, we may be required to defer necessary improvements to a property, which may cause that property to suffer from a greater risk of obsolescence or a decline in value, or a greater risk of decreased cash flow as a result of fewer potential tenants being attracted to the property. If this happens, we may not be able to maintain projected rental rates for affected properties, and our results of operations may be negatively impacted.

Our operating expenses may increase in the future and, to the extent such increases cannot be passed on to tenants, our cash flow and our operating results would decrease.

Operating expenses, such as expenses for fuel, utilities, labor and insurance, are not fixed and may increase in the future. There is no guarantee that we will be able to pass such increases on to our tenants. To the extent such increases cannot be passed on to tenants, any such increase would cause our cash flow and our operating results to decrease.

Our real properties are subject to property taxes that may increase in the future, which could adversely affect our cash flow.

Our real properties are subject to real property taxes that may increase as tax rates change and as the real properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. We anticipate that certain of our leases will generally provide that the property taxes, or increases therein, are charged to the lessees as an expense related to the real properties that they occupy, while other leases will generally provide that we are responsible for such taxes. In any case, as the owner of the properties, we are ultimately responsible for payment of the taxes to the applicable government authorities. If real property taxes increase, our tenants may be unable to make the required tax payments, ultimately requiring us to pay the taxes even if otherwise stated under the terms of the lease. If we fail to pay any such taxes, the applicable taxing authority may place a lien on the real property and the real property may be subject to a tax sale. In addition, we are generally responsible for real property taxes related to any vacant space.

Uninsured losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage could reduce our cash flows and the return on our stockholders’ investments.

We will attempt to adequately insure all of our real properties against casualty losses. There are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with potential acts of terrorism could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims. Additionally, mortgage lenders in some cases have begun to insist that commercial property owners purchase coverage against terrorism as a condition for providing mortgage loans. Such insurance policies may not be available at reasonable costs, if at all, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our properties. In such instances, we may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. We may not have adequate, or any, coverage for such losses. Changes in the cost or availability of insurance could expose us to uninsured casualty losses. If any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss, which may reduce the value of our stockholders’ investments. In addition, other than any working capital reserve or other reserves we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured property. Also, to the extent we must pay unexpectedly large amounts for insurance, we could suffer reduced earnings that would result in lower distributions to stockholders. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 is designed for a sharing of terrorism losses between insurance companies and the federal government.

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may affect the markets in which we plan to operate, which could delay or hinder our ability to meet our investment objectives and reduce our stockholders’ overall return.
Terrorist attacks or armed conflicts may directly impact the value of our properties through damage, destruction, loss or increased security costs. We cannothave invested in major metropolitan areas. We may not be certain how this act will impact usable to obtain insurance against the risk of terrorism because it may not be available or what additional costmay not be available on terms that are economically feasible. The terrorism insurance that we obtain may not be sufficient to us, ifcover loss for damages to our properties as a result of terrorist attacks. The

18



inability to obtain sufficient terrorism insurance or any terrorism insurance at all could result.

limit our investment options as some mortgage lenders have begun to insist that specific coverage against terrorism be purchased by commercial owners as a condition of providing loans.


Costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations related to environmental protection and human health and safety may reduce our net income and the cash available for distributions to our stockholders.

Real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment and human health. We could be subject to liability in the form of fines, penalties or damages for noncompliance with these laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, the remediation of contamination associated with the release or disposal of solid and hazardous materials, the presence of toxic building materials, and other health and safety-related concerns.

Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on the tenants, owners or operators of real property for the costs to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault, whether the contamination occurred prior to purchase, or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal. Our tenants’ operations, the condition of properties at the time we buy them, operations in the vicinity of our properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties may affect our properties.

The presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly manage or remediate these substances, may hinder our ability to sell, rent or pledge such property as collateral for future borrowings. Environmental laws also may impose liens on property or restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures or prevent us from entering into leases with prospective tenants that may be impacted by such laws. Some of these laws and regulations have been amended so as to require compliance with new or more stringent standards as of future dates. Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws may require us to incur material expenditures. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material environmental liability. Any material expenditures, fines, penalties, or damages we must pay will reduce our ability to make distributions and may reduce the value of our stockholders’ investments.

The costs of defending against claims of environmental liability or of paying personal injury claims could reduce the amounts available for distribution to our stockholders.

Environmental laws provide for sanctions for noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for the release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint. Third parties may seek recovery from real property owners or operators for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances. The costs of defending against claims of environmental liability or of paying personal injury claims could reduce the amounts available for distribution to our stockholders. Generally, we expect that the real estate properties that we acquire will have been subject to Phase I environmental assessments at the time they were acquired. A Phase I environmental assessment or site assessment is an initial environmental investigation to identify potential environmental liabilities associated with the current and past uses of a given property.


Costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act may decrease cash available for distributions.


Our properties may be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended.amended (the "Disabilities Act"). Under the Disabilities Act, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The Disabilities Act has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The Disabilities Act’s requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages. We will attempt to acquire properties that comply with the ADA or place the burden on the seller or other third party, such as a tenant, to ensure compliance with the ADA. We cannot assure our stockholders that we will be able to acquire properties or allocate responsibilities in this manner. Any of our funds used for Disabilities Act compliance will reduce our net income and the amount of cash available for distributions to our stockholders.


19



The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and make additional investments.

We intend to diversify our cash and cash equivalents among several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. However, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or “FDIC,” only insures amounts up to $250,000 per depositor per insured bank. We expect to have cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and investments deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. If any of the banking institutions in which we have deposited funds ultimately fails, we may lose our deposits over $250,000. The loss of our deposits could reduce the amount of cash we have available to distribute or invest and could result in a decline in the value of our stockholders’ investments.


Risks Related to Real Estate-Related Investments


Our investments in mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans as well as our investments in mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other debt may be affected by unfavorable real estate market conditions, which could decrease the value of those assets and the return on your investment.


If we make or invest in mortgage, mezzanine or other real estate-related loans, we will be at risk of defaults by the borrowers on those loans. These defaults may be caused by many conditions beyond our control, including interest rate levels and local and other economic conditions affecting real estate values. We will not know whether the values of the properties ultimately securing our loans will remain at the levels existing on the dates of origination of those loans. If the values of the underlying properties drop, our risk will increase because of the lower value of the security associated with such loans. Our investments in mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other real estate-related debt will be similarly affected by real estate market conditions.


If we make or invest in mortgage, mezzanine, bridge or other real estate-related loans, our loans will be subject to interest rate fluctuations that will affect our returns as compared to market interest rates; accordingly, the value of your investment would be subject to fluctuations in interest rates.


If we make or invest in fixed-rate, long-term loans and interest rates rise, the loans could yield a return that is lower than then-current market rates. If interest rates decrease, we will be adversely affected to the extent that loans are prepaid because we may not be able to make new loans at the higher interest rate. If we invest in variable-rate loans and interest rates decrease, our revenues will also decrease. For these reasons, if we invest in mortgage, mezzanine, bridge or other real estate-related loans, our returns on those loans and the value of your investment will be subject to fluctuations in interest rates.


We have not established investment criteria limiting geographical concentration of our mortgage investments or requiring a minimum credit quality of borrowers.


We have not established any limit upon the geographic concentration of properties securing mortgage loans acquired or originated by us or the credit quality of borrowers of uninsured mortgage assets acquired or originated by us. As a result, properties securing our mortgage loans may be overly concentrated in certain geographic areas, and the underlying borrowers of our uninsured mortgage assets may have low credit quality. We may experience losses due to geographic concentration or low credit quality.


Mortgage investments that are not United States government insured and non-investment-grade mortgage assets involve risk of loss.


We may originate and acquire uninsured and non-investment-grade mortgage loans and mortgage assets, including mezzanine loans, as part of our investment strategy. While holding these interests, we will be subject to risks of borrower defaults, bankruptcies, fraud and losses and special hazard losses that are not covered by standard hazard insurance. Also, the costs of financing the mortgage loans could exceed the return on the mortgage loans. In the event of any default under mortgage loans held by us, we will bear the risk of loss of principal and non-payment of interest and fees to the extent of any deficiency between the value of the mortgage collateral and the principal amount of the mortgage loan. To the extent we suffer such losses with respect to our investments in mortgage loans, the value of our stockholders’ investments may be adversely affected.


We may invest in non-recourse loans, which will limit our recovery to the value of the mortgaged property.


Our mortgage loan assets may be non-recourse loans. With respect to our non-recourse mortgage loan assets, in the event of a borrower default, the specific mortgaged property and other assets, if any, pledged to secure the relevant mortgage loan, may be less than the amount owed under the mortgage loan. As to those mortgage loan assets that provide for recourse against the

20



borrower and its assets generally, we cannot assure our stockholders that the recourse will provide a recovery in respect of a defaulted mortgage loan greater than the liquidation value of the mortgaged property securing that mortgage loan.


Interest rate fluctuations will affect the value of our mortgage assets, net income and common stock.


Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control. Interest rate fluctuations can adversely affect our income in many ways and present a variety of risks including the risk of variances in the yield curve, a mismatch between asset yields and borrowing rates, and changing prepayment rates.


Variances in the yield curve may reduce our net income. The relationship between short-term and longer-term interest rates is often referred to as the “yield curve.” Short-term interest rates are ordinarily lower than longer-term interest rates. If short-term interest rates rise disproportionately relative to longer-term interest rates (a flattening of the yield curve), our borrowing costs may increase more rapidly than the interest income earned on our assets. Because our assets may bear interest based on longer-term rates than our borrowings, a flattening of the yield curve would tend to decrease our net income and the market value of our mortgage loan assets.


Additionally, to the extent cash flows from investments that return scheduled and unscheduled principal are reinvested in mortgage loans, the spread between the yields of the new investments and available borrowing rates may decline, which would likely decrease our net income. It is also possible that short-term interest rates may exceed longer-term interest rates (a yield curve inversion), in which event our borrowing costs may exceed our interest income and we could incur operating losses.


Prepayment rates on our mortgage loans may adversely affect our yields.


The value of our mortgage loan assets may be affected by prepayment rates on investments. Prepayment rates are influenced by changes in current interest rates and a variety of economic, geographic and other factors beyond our control, and consequently, such prepayment rates cannot be predicted with certainty. To the extent we originate mortgage loans, we expect that such mortgage loans will have a measure of protection from prepayment in the form of prepayment lock-out periods or prepayment penalties. However, this protection may not be available with respect to investments that we acquire but do not originate. In periods of declining mortgage interest rates, prepayments on mortgages generally increase. If general interest rates decline as well, the proceeds of such prepayments received during such periods are likely to be reinvested by us in assets yielding less than the yields on the investments that were prepaid. In addition, the market value of mortgage investments may, because of the risk of prepayment, benefit less from declining interest rates than from other fixed-income securities. Conversely, in periods of rising interest rates, prepayments on mortgages generally decrease, in which case we would not have the prepayment proceeds available to invest in assets with higher yields. Under certain interest rate and prepayment scenarios, we may fail to fully recoup our cost of acquisition of certain investments.


Before making any investment, we will consider the expected yield of the investment and the factors that may influence the yield actually obtained on such investment. These considerations will affect our decision whether to originate or purchase such an investment and the price offered for such an investment. No assurances can be given that we can make an accurate assessment of the yield to be produced by an investment. Many factors beyond our control are likely to influence the yield on the investments, including, but not limited to, competitive conditions in the local real estate market, local and general economic conditions and the quality of management of the underlying property. Our inability to accurately assess investment yields may result in our purchasing assets that do not perform as well as expected, which may adversely affect the value of our stockholders’ investments.


Volatility of values of mortgaged properties may adversely affect our mortgage loans.


Real estate property values and net operating income derived from real estate properties are subject to volatility and may be affected adversely by a number of factors, including the risk factors described in this report relating to general economic conditions and owning real estate investments. In the event its net operating income decreases, a borrower may have difficulty paying our mortgage loan, which could result in losses to us. In addition, decreases in property values reduce the value of the collateral and the potential proceeds available to a borrower to repay our mortgage loans, which could also cause us to suffer losses.


Mezzanine loans involve greater risks of loss than senior loans secured by income producing properties.


We may make and acquire mezzanine loans. These types of mortgage loans are considered to involve a higher degree of risk than long-term senior mortgage lending secured by income-producing real property due to a variety of factors, including the

21



loan being entirely unsecured or, if secured, becoming unsecured as a result of foreclosure by the senior lender. We may not recover some or all of our investment in these loans. In addition, mezzanine loans may have higher loan-to-value ratios than conventional mortgage loans, resulting in less equity in the property and increasing the risk of loss of principal.


Our investments in subordinated loans and subordinated mortgage-backed securities may be subject to losses.


We may acquire or originate subordinated loans and invest in subordinated mortgage-backed securities. In the event a borrower defaults on a subordinated loan and lacks sufficient assets to satisfy our loan, we may suffer a loss of principal or interest. In the event a borrower declares bankruptcy, we may not have full recourse to the assets of the borrower, or the assets of the borrower may not be sufficient to satisfy the loan. If a borrower defaults on our loan or on debt senior to our loan, or in the event of a borrower bankruptcy, our loan will be satisfied only after the senior debt is paid in full. Where debt senior to our loan exists, the presence of intercreditor arrangements may limit our ability to amend our loan documents, assign our loans, accept prepayments, exercise our remedies (through “standstill periods”), and control decisions made in bankruptcy proceedings relating to borrowers.


The CMBS in which we may invest are subject to all of the risks of the underlying mortgage loans and the risks of the securitization process.


CMBS, or commercial mortgage-backed securities, are securities that evidence interests in, or are secured by, a single commercial mortgage loan or a pool of commercial mortgage loans. Accordingly, these securities are subject to all of the risks of the underlying mortgage loans.


In a rising interest rate environment, the value of CMBS may be adversely affected when payments on underlying mortgages do not occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the security’s effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate sensitivity of

a longer-term instrument. The value of CMBS may also change due to shifts in the market’s perception of issuers and regulatory or tax changes adversely affecting the mortgage securities market as a whole. In addition, CMBS are subject to the credit risk associated with the performance of the underlying mortgage properties. In certain instances, third-party guarantees or other forms of credit support can reduce the credit risk.


CMBS are also subject to several risks created through the securitization process. Subordinate CMBS are paid interest only to the extent that there are funds available to make payments. To the extent the collateral pool includes delinquent loans, there is a risk that the interest payment on subordinate CMBS will not be fully paid. Subordinate CMBS are also subject to greater credit risk than those CMBS that are more highly rated.


Our investments in real estate-related common equity securities will be subject to specific risks relating to the particular issuer of the securities and may be subject to the general risks of investing in subordinated real estate securities, which may result in losses to us.


We may make equity investments in other REITs and other real estate companies. WeIf we make such investments, we will target a public company that owns commercial real estate or real estate-related assets when we believe its stock is trading at a discount to that company’s net asset value. We may eventually seek to acquire or gain a controlling interest in the companies that we target. We do not expect our non-controllingnoncontrolling equity investments in other public companies to exceed 5.0% of the proceeds of our offering, assuming we sell the maximum offering amount, or to represent a substantial portion of our assets at any one time.portfolio. Our investments in real estate-related common equity securities will involve special risks relating to the particular issuer of the equity securities, including the financial condition and business outlook of the issuer. Issuers of real estate-related common equity securities generally invest in real estate or real estate-related assets and are subject to the inherent risks associated with real estate-related investments discussed in this report.


Real estate-related common equity securities are generally unsecured and may also be subordinated to other obligations of the issuer. As a result, investments in real estate-related common equity securities are subject to risks of: (1) limited liquidity in the secondary trading market, (2) substantial market price volatility resulting from changes in prevailing interest rates, (3) subordination to the prior claims of banks and other senior lenders to the issuer, (4) the operation of mandatory sinking fund or call/redemption provisions during periods of declining interest rates that could cause the issuer to reinvest redemption proceeds in lower yielding assets, (5) the possibility that earnings of the issuer may be insufficient to meet its debt service and distribution obligations and (6) the declining creditworthiness and potential for insolvency of the issuer during periods of rising interest rates and economic downturn. These risks may adversely affect the value of outstanding real estate-related common equity securities and the ability of the issuers thereof to make distribution payments.

Risks Associated with Debt Financing

We have incurred mortgage indebtedness, and we may incur other indebtedness, which increases our risk of loss due to foreclosure.

We mayhave obtained, and are likely to continue to obtain, lines of credit and have obtainedother long-term financing that are secured by our properties and other assets. Under our charter, we have a limitation on borrowing which precludes us from borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets without conflicts committee approval. Net assets for purposes of this calculation are defined to be our total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost prior to deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. Generally speaking, the preceding calculation is expected to approximatelimit our total liabilities to 75.0% of the aggregate cost of our investments before non-cash reserves and depreciation. We may borrow in excess of these amounts if such excess is approved by a majority of theour independent directors and is disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report, along with justification for such excess. In some instances, we may acquire real properties by financing a portion of the price of the properties and mortgaging or pledging some or all of the properties purchased as security for that debt. We may also incur mortgage debt on properties that we already own in order to obtain funds to acquire additional properties. In addition, we may borrow as necessary or advisable to ensure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including borrowings to satisfy the REIT requirement that we distribute at least 90.0% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders (computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). We, however, can give our stockholders no assurance that we will be able to obtain such borrowings on satisfactory terms.

High debt levels will cause us to incur higher interest charges, which would result in higher debt service payments and could be accompanied by restrictive covenants. If we do mortgage a property and there is a shortfall between the cash flow from that property and the cash flow needed to service mortgage debt on that property, then the amount of cash available for distributions to stockholders may be reduced. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss of a property since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In that case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default, reducing the value of our stockholders’ investments. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure even though we would not necessarily receive any cash proceeds. We may give full or partial guaranties to lenders of mortgage debt on behalf of the entities that own our properties. When we give a guaranty on behalf of an entity that owns one of our properties, we

will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by such entity. If any mortgages contain cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, a default on a single property could affect multiple properties.

We may also obtain recourse debt to finance our acquisitions and meet our REIT distribution requirements. If we have insufficient income to service our recourse debt obligations, our lenders could institute proceedings against us to foreclose upon our assets. If a lender successfully forecloses upon any of our assets, our ability to pay cash distributions to our stockholders will be limited, and our stockholders could lose all or part of their investment.

High mortgage rates may make it difficult for us to finance or refinance properties, which could reduce the number of properties we can acquire, our cash flows from operations and the amount of cash distributions we can make.


If mortgage debt is unavailable at reasonable rates, we may not be able to finance the purchase of properties. If we place mortgage debt on properties, we run the risk of being unable to refinance the properties when the debt becomes due or of being unable to refinance on favorable terms. If interest rates are higher when we refinance the properties, our income could be reduced. We may be unable to refinance properties. If any of these events occurs, our cash flow would be reduced. This, in turn, would reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders and may hinder our ability to raise capital by issuing more stock or borrowing more money.

We expect to use leverage in connection with our investments in real estate-related assets, which increases the risk of loss associated with this type of investment.

We may finance the acquisition and origination of certain real estate-related investments with warehouse lines of credit and repurchase agreements. In addition, we may engage in various types of securitizations in order to finance our loan originations. The use of such leverage may substantially increase the risk of loss. There can be no assurance that leveraged financing will be available to us on favorable terms or that, among other factors, the terms of such financing will parallel the maturities of the underlying assets acquired. If alternative financing is not available, we may have to liquidate assets at unfavorable prices to pay off such financing. Our return on our investments and cash available for distribution to our stockholders may be reduced to the extent that changes in market conditions cause the cost of our financing to increase relative to the income that we can derive from the assets we acquire.

Our debt service payments will reduce our cash flow available for distributions. We may not be able to meet our debt service obligations and, to the extent that we cannot, we risk the loss of some or all of our assets to foreclosure or sale to satisfy our debt obligations. We may utilize repurchase agreements as a component of our financing strategy. Repurchase agreements economically resemble short-term, variable-rate financing and usually require the maintenance of specific loan-to-collateral value ratios. If the market value of the assets subject to a repurchase agreement declines, we may be required to provide additional collateral or make cash payments to maintain the loan-to-collateral value ratio. If we are unable to provide such collateral or cash repayments, we may lose our economic interest in the underlying assets. Further, credit facility providers and warehouse facility providers may require us to maintain a certain amount of cash reserves or to set aside unleveraged assets sufficient to maintain a specified liquidity position that would allow us to satisfy our collateral obligations. As a result, we may not be able to leverage our assets as fully as we would choose, which could reduce our return on assets. In the event that we are unable to meet these collateral obligations, our financial condition could deteriorate rapidly.

We may not be able to access financing or refinancing sources on attractive terms, which could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan.

We may finance our assets over the long-term through a variety of means, including repurchase agreements, credit facilities, issuance of commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other structured financings. Our ability to execute this strategy will depend on various conditions in the markets for financing in this manner that are beyond our control, including lack of liquidity and greater credit spreads. We cannot be certain that these markets will remain an efficient source of long-term financing for our assets. If our strategy is not viable, we will have to find alternative forms of long-term financing for our assets, as secured revolving credit facilities and repurchase facilities may not accommodate long-term financing. This could subject us to more recourse indebtedness and the risk that debt service on less efficient forms of financing

23



would require a larger portion of our cash flows, thereby reducing cash available for distribution to our stockholders and funds available for operations as well as for future business opportunities.


Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants relating to our operations, which could limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

When providing financing, a lender may impose restrictions on us that affect our distribution and operating policies and our ability to incur additional debt. Loan agreements into which we enter may contain covenants that limit our ability to further mortgage a property, discontinue insurance coverage or replace the Advisor. In addition, loan documents may limit our ability to replace a property’s property manager or terminate certain operating or lease agreements related to a property. These or other limitations would decrease our operating flexibility and our ability to achieve our operating objectives.

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

We expect that we will incur additional debt in the future and increases in interest rates will increase the cost of that debt, which could reduce the cash we have available for distributions. Additionally, we have entered into certain variable rate debt agreements, for which increases in interest rates will increase our interest costs, which will reduce our cash flows and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments at times that may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.

Our derivative financial instruments that we may use to hedge against interest rate fluctuations may not be successful in mitigating our risks associated with interest rates and could reduce the overall returns on our stockholders’ investment.

We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets, but no hedging strategy can protect us completely. We cannot assure our stockholders that our hedging strategy and the derivatives that we use will adequately offset the risk of interest rate volatility or that our hedging transactions will not result in losses. In addition, the use of such instruments may reduce the overall return on our investments. These instruments may also generate income that may not be treated as qualifying REIT income for purposes of the 75.0% or 95.0% REIT income test.

Interest-only indebtedness may increase our risk of default and ultimately may reduce our funds available for distribution to our stockholders.

We may financehave financed certain of our property acquisitions using interest-only mortgage indebtedness. During the interest-only period, the amount of each scheduled payment will beis less than that of a traditional amortizing mortgage loan. The principal balance of the mortgage loan will not be reduced (except in the case of prepayments) because there are no scheduled monthly payments of principal during this period. After the interest-only period, we will be required either to make scheduled payments of amortized principal and interest or to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. These required principal or balloon payments will increase the amount of our scheduled payments and may increase our risk of default under the related mortgage loan. If the mortgage loan has an adjustable interest rate, the amount of our scheduled payments also may increase at a time of rising interest rates. Increased payments and substantial principal or balloon maturity payments will reduce the funds available for distribution to our stockholders because cash otherwise available for distribution will be required to pay principal and interest associated with these mortgage loans.


If we enter into financing arrangements involving balloon payment obligations, it may adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Some of our financing arrangements may require us to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. Our ability to make a balloon payment at maturity is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain additional financing or our ability to sell the property. At the time the balloon payment is due, we may or may not be able to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan or sell the property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. The effect of a refinancing or sale could affect the rate of return to stockholders and the projected time of disposition of our assets. In addition, payments of principal and interest made to service our debts may leave us with insufficient cash to pay the distributions that we are required to pay to maintain our qualification as a REIT. Any of these results would have a significant, negative impact on our stockholders’ investments.

We have broad authority to incur debt, and high debt levels could hinder our ability to make distributions and decrease the value of your investment.

Our policies do not limit us from incurring debt until our borrowings would cause our total liabilities to exceed 75.0% of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) of our tangible assets, and we may exceed this limit with the approval of the conflicts committee of our board of directors. During the early stages of our offering, our conflicts committee may approve debt in excess of this limit. High debt levels would cause us to incur higher interest charges and higher debt service payments and could also be accompanied by restrictive covenants. These factors could limit the amount of cash we have available to distribute and could result in a decline in the value of your investment.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Risks

Failure to qualify as a REIT would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution.

Our qualification as a REIT depends upon our ability to meet requirements regarding our organization and ownership, distributions of our income, the nature and diversification of our income and assets and other tests imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year after electing REIT status, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT status. Losing our REIT status would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability. In addition, distributions to stockholders would no longer qualify

for the dividends paid deduction, and we would no longer be required to make distributions. If this occurs, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year after electing REIT status, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT status. Losing our REIT status would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability. In addition, distributions to stockholders would no longer qualify for the dividends paid deduction and we would no longer be required to make distributions. If this occurs, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax.

Our stockholders may have current tax liability on distributions they elect to reinvest in our common stock.

If our stockholders participate in the DRP, they will be deemed to have received, and for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be taxed on, the amount reinvested in shares of our common stock to the extent the amount reinvested was not a tax-free return of capital. In addition, our stockholders will be treated for tax purposes as having received an additional distribution to the extent the shares are purchased at a discount to fair market value. As a result, unless our stockholders are a tax-exempt entity, they may have to use funds from other sources to pay their tax liability on the value of the shares of common stock received

received.

Failure to qualify as a REIT would subject us to U.S. federal income tax, which would reduce the cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

We operate in a manner that is intended to causeallow us to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010.purposes. However, the U.S. federal income tax laws governing REITs are extremely complex, and interpretations of the U.S. federal income tax laws governing qualification as a REIT are limited. Qualifying as a REIT requires us to meet various tests regarding the nature of our assets and our income, the ownership of our outstanding stock, and the amount of our distributions on an ongoing basis. While we intend to operate so that we continue to qualify as a REIT, given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs, the ongoing importance of factual determinations, including the tax treatment of certain investments we may make, and the possibility of future changes in our circumstances, no assurance can be given that we will so qualify for any particular year. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any calendar year and we do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we would be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income. We might need to borrow money or sell assets to pay that tax. Our payment of U.S. federal income tax would decrease the amount of our income available for distribution to our stockholders. Furthermore, if we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT and we do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we no longer would be required to distribute substantially all of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. Unless our failure to qualify as a REIT were excused under federal tax laws, we would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost.


Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to some federal, state and local taxes on our income or property. For example:

•      In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90.0% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders (which is determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain). To the extent that we satisfy the distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on the undistributed income.

•      We will be subject to a 4.0% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions we pay in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85.0% of our ordinary income, 95.0% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years.

•      If we have net income from the sale of foreclosure property that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or other non-qualifying income from foreclosure property, we must pay a tax on that income at the highest U.S. federal corporate income tax rate.


25



•      If we sell an asset, other than foreclosure property, that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, our gain would be subject to the 100% “prohibited transaction” tax unless such sale were made by one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries or the sale met certain “safe harbor” requirements under the Internal Revenue Code.

Our investments in debt instruments may cause us to recognize “phantom income” for U.S. federal income tax purposes even though no cash payments have been received on the debt instruments.

We may acquire debt instruments in the secondary market for less than their face amount. The amount of such discount will generally be treated as “market discount” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Moreover, pursuant to our involvement in public-private joint

ventures, other similar programs recently announced by the federal government, or otherwise, we may acquire distressed debt investments that are subsequently modified by agreement with the borrower. If the amendments to the outstanding debt are “significant modifications” under the applicable regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department (the “Treasury Regulations”), the modified debt may be considered to have been reissued to us in a debt-for-debt exchange with the borrower. This deemed reissuance may prevent the modified debt from qualifying as a good REIT asset if the underlying security has declined in value.

In general, we will be required to accrue original issue discount on a debt instrument as taxable income in accordance with applicable U.S. federal income tax rules even though no cash payments may be received on such debt instrument.

In the event a borrower with respect to a particular debt instrument encounters financial difficulty rendering it unable to pay stated interest as due, we may nonetheless be required to continue to recognize the unpaid interest as taxable income. Similarly, we may be required to accrue interest income with respect to subordinate mortgage-backed securities at the stated rate regardless of when their corresponding cash payments are received.

As a result of these factors, there is a significant risk that we may recognize substantial taxable income in excess of cash available for distribution. In that event, we may need to borrow funds or take other action to satisfy the REIT distribution requirements for the taxable year in which this “phantom income” is recognized.

REIT distribution requirements could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan.

We generally must distribute annually at least 90.0% of our REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain, in order for U.S. federal corporate income tax not to apply to earnings that we distribute. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4.0% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay out to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under federal tax laws. We intend to make distributions to our stockholders to comply with the REIT requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

From time to time, we may generate taxable income greater than our taxable income for financial reporting purposes, or our taxable income may be greater than our cash flow available for distribution to stockholders (for example, where a borrower defers the payment of interest in cash pursuant to a contractual right or otherwise). If we do not have other funds available in these situations, we could be required to borrow funds, sell investments at disadvantageous prices or find another alternative source of funds to make distributions sufficient to enable us to pay out enough of our taxable income to satisfy the REIT distribution requirement and to avoid U.S. federal corporate income tax and the 4.0% excise tax in a particular year. These alternatives could increase our costs or reduce our equity. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.

To maintain our REIT status, we may be forced to forego otherwise attractive opportunities, which may delay or hinder our ability to meet our investment objectives and reduce our stockholders’ overall return.

To qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy certain tests on an ongoing basis concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, nature of our assets and the amounts we distribute to our stockholders. We may be required to make distributions to stockholders at times when it would be more advantageous to reinvest cash in our business or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits and the value of our stockholders’ investments.

The “taxable mortgage pool” rules may increase the taxes that we or our stockholders incur and may limit the manner in which we conduct securitizations.

We may be deemed to be ourselves, or we may make investments in entities that own or are themselves deemed to be, taxable mortgage pools. Similarly, certain of our securitizations or other borrowings could be considered to result in the creation of a taxable mortgage pool for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, provided that we own 100% of the equity interests in a taxable mortgage pool, we generally would not be adversely affected by the characterization of the securitization as a taxable mortgage pool. Certain categories of stockholders, however, such as foreign stockholders eligible for treaty or other benefits, stockholders with net operating losses, and certain tax-exempt stockholders that are subject to unrelated business income tax, could be subject to increased taxes on a portion of their dividend income from us that is attributable to the taxable mortgage pool. In addition, to the extent that our stock is owned by tax-exempt “disqualified organizations,” such as certain government-related entities that are not subject to tax on unrelated business income, we will incur a corporate-level tax on a portion of our income from the taxable mortgage pool. In that case, we are authorized to reduce and intend to reduce the amount of our distributions to any disqualified organization whose stock ownership gave rise to the tax by the amount of such tax paid by us that is attributable to such stockholder’s ownership. Moreover, we would generally be precluded from selling equity interests in these securitizations to outside investors, or selling any debt securities issued in connection with these securitizations that might be considered to be equity interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

These limitations may prevent us from using certain techniques to maximize our returns from securitization transactions or other financing arrangements.

Potential characterization of distributions or gain on sale may be treated as unrelated business taxable income to tax-exempt investors.

If (1) all or a portion of our assets are subject to the rules relating to taxable mortgage pools, (2) we are a “pension-held REIT,” (3) a tax-exempt stockholder has incurred debt to purchase or hold our common stock or (4) the residual interests in any real estate mortgage investment conduits (“REMICs”), we acquire (if any) generate “excess inclusion income,” then a portion of the distributions to and, in the case of a stockholder described in clause (3), gains realized on the sale of common stock by such tax-exempt stockholder may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as unrelated business taxable income under the Internal Revenue Code.

Complying with REIT requirements may force us to liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

To qualify as a REIT, we must ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75.0% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and qualified REIT real estate assets, including certain mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. The remainder of our investment in securities (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) generally cannot include more than 10.0% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10.0% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5.0% of the value of our assets (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) can consist of the securities of any one issuer, and no more than 25.0% of the value of our total assets can be represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate from our portfolio otherwise attractive investments. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income and amounts available for distribution to our stockholders.

Liquidation of assets may jeopardize our REIT qualification.

To qualify as a REIT, we must comply with requirements regarding our assets and our sources of income. If we are compelled to liquidate our investments to repay obligations to our lenders, we may be unable to comply with these requirements, ultimately jeopardizing our qualification as a REIT, or we may be subject to a 100% tax on any resultant gain if we sell assets that are treated as dealer property or inventory.

Characterization of any repurchase agreements we enter into to finance our investments as sales for tax purposes rather than as secured lending transactions would adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT.

We may enter into repurchase agreements with a variety of counterparties to achieve our desired amount of leverage for the assets in which we invest. When we enter into a repurchase agreement, we generally sell assets to our counterparty to the agreement and receive cash from the counterparty. The counterparty is obligated to resell the assets back to us at the end of the term of the transaction. We believe that for U.S. federal income tax purposes we will be treated as the owner of the assets that are the subject of repurchase agreements and that the repurchase agreements will be treated as secured lending transactions notwithstanding that such agreement may transfer record ownership of the assets to the counterparty during the term of the agreement. It is possible, however, that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) could successfully assert that we did not own these assets during the term of the repurchase agreements, in which case we could fail to qualify as a REIT if tax ownership of these assets was necessary for us to meet the income and/or asset tests.


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

The REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code may limit our ability to hedge our assets and operations. Under these provisions, any income that we generate from transactions intended to hedge our interest rate, inflation or currency risks will be excluded from gross income for purposes of the REIT 75.0% and 95.0% gross income tests if the instrument hedges (1) interest

26



rate risk on liabilities incurred to carry or acquire real estate or (2) risk of currency fluctuations with respect to any item of income or gain that would be qualifying income under the REIT 75.0% or 95.0% gross income tests, and such instrument is properly identified under applicable Treasury Regulations. Income from hedging transactions that do not meet these requirements will generally constitute nonqualifying income for purposes of both the REIT 75.0% and 95.0% gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may have to limit our use of hedging techniques that might otherwise be advantageous, which could result in greater risks associated with interest rate or other changes than we would otherwise incur.

Our ownership of and relationship with our taxable REIT subsidiaries will be limited, and a failure to comply with the limits would jeopardize our REIT status and may result in the application of a 100% excise tax.

A REIT may own up to 100% of the stock of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. A taxable REIT subsidiary may earn income that would not be qualifying income if earned directly by the parent REIT. Both the subsidiary and the REIT must jointly elect to treat the subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary. A corporation of which a taxable REIT subsidiary directly or indirectly owns more than 35.0% of the voting power or value of the stock will automatically be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. Overall, no more than 25.0% of the value of a REIT’s assets may consist of stock or securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. A domestic taxable REIT subsidiary will pay U.S. federal, state and local income tax at regular corporate rates on any income that it earns. In addition, the taxable REIT subsidiary rules limit the deductibility of interest paid or accrued by a taxable REIT subsidiary to its parent REIT to assure that the taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to an appropriate level of corporate taxation. The rules also impose a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a taxable REIT subsidiary and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. We cannot assure our stockholders that we will be able to comply with the 25.0% value limitation on ownership of taxable REIT subsidiary stock and securities on an ongoing basis so as to maintain REIT status or to avoid application of the 100% excise tax imposed on certain non-arm’s length transactions.

We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes.

At any time, the U.S. federal income tax laws or regulations governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws or regulations may be amended. We cannot predict when or if any new U.S. federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation, or any amendment to any existing U.S. federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation, will be adopted, promulgated or become effective and any such law, regulation or interpretation may take effect retroactively. We and our stockholders could be adversely affected by any such change in, or any new, U.S. federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation.


Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates.

Legislation enacted in 2003 and modified in 2005, 2010, and 20102013 generally reduces the maximum tax rate for dividends payable to domesticcertain stockholders thatwho are domestic individuals, trusts and estates to 15.0% through 2012.20.0%. Dividends payable by REITs, however, are generally not eligible for the reduced rates. Although this legislation does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or dividends paid by REITs, the more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate dividends could cause investors who are individuals, trusts and estates, to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in stock of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the stock of REITs, including our common stock.


If the operating partnershipOperating Partnership fails to maintain its status as a partnership, its income may be subject to taxation.

We intend to maintain the status of the operating partnershipOperating Partnership as a disregarded entity or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, if the IRS were to successfully challenge the status of the operating partnershipOperating Partnership as a disregarded entity or partnership, it would be taxable as a corporation. In such event, this would reduce the amount of distributions that the operating partnershipOperating Partnership could make to us. This would also result in our losing REIT status and becoming subject to a corporate level tax on our own income. This would substantially reduce our cash available to pay distributions and the yield on your investment. In addition, if any of the partnerships or limited liability companies through which the operating partnershipOperating Partnership owns its properties, in whole or in part, loses its characterization as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it would be subject to taxation as a corporation, thereby reducing distributions to the operating partnership.Operating Partnership. Such a recharacterization of an underlying property owner could also threaten our ability to maintain REIT status.

The tax on prohibited transactions will limit our ability to engage in transactions, including certain methods of securitizing mortgage loans, that would be treated as sales for federal income tax purposes.

A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of assets, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Therefore, in order to avoid the prohibited transactions tax, we may choose not to engage in certain sales at the REIT level, and may limit the structures we utilize for our securitization transactions, even though the sales or structures might otherwise be beneficial to us.

There is a prohibited transaction safe harbor available under the Internal Revenue Code when a property has been held for at least two years and certain other requirements are met. It cannot be assured, however, that any property sales would qualify for the safe harbor. It may also be possible to reduce the impact of the prohibited transaction tax by conducting certain activities

27



through taxable REIT subsidiaries. However, to the extent that we engage in such activities through taxable REIT subsidiaries, the income associated with such activities may be subject to full corporate income tax.

The taxation of distributions to our stockholders can be complex; however, distributions that we make to our stockholders generally will be taxable as ordinary income.

Distributions that we make to our taxable stockholders out of current and accumulated earnings and profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends, or, for tax years beginning before January 1, 2013, qualified dividend income) generally are taxable as ordinary income. However, a portion of our distributions may (1) be designated by us as capital gain dividends generally taxable as long-term capital gain to the extent that they are attributable to net capital gain recognized by us, (2) be designated by us, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013, as qualified dividend income generally to the extent they are attributable to dividends we receive from our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or (3) constitute a return of capital generally to the extent that they exceed our accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is not taxable, but has the effect of reducing the basis of a stockholder’s investment in our common stock.

If we were considered to actually or constructively pay a “preferential dividend” to certain of our stockholders, our status as a REIT could be adversely affected.

In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. In order for distributions to be counted as satisfying the annual distribution requirements for REITs, and to provide us with a REIT-level tax deduction, the distributions must not be “preferential dividends.” A dividend is not a preferential dividend if the distribution is pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class, and in accordance with the preferences among different classes of stock as set forth in our organizational documents. Currently, there is uncertainty as to the position of the IRS regarding whether certain arrangements that REITs have with their stockholders could give rise to the inadvertent payment of a preferential dividend (e.g., the pricing methodology for stock purchased under a dividend reinvestment plan inadvertently causing a greater than 5% discount on the price of such stock purchased). There is no de minimis exception with respect to preferential dividends; therefore, if the IRS were to take the position that we inadvertently paid preferential dividends, we may be deemed to have failed the 90% distribution test, and our status as a REIT could be terminated for the year in which such determination is made if we were unable to cure such failure. While we believe that our operations have been structured in such a manner that we will not be treated as inadvertently paying preferential dividends, we can provide no assurance to this effect.

The ability of our board of directors to revoke our REIT qualification without stockholder approval may subject us to U.S. federal income tax and reduce distributions to our stockholders.


Our charter provides that our board of directors may revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election without the approval of our stockholders if it determines that it is no longer in our best interest to continue to qualify as a REIT. While we intend to elect and qualify to be taxed as a REIT, we may not elect to be treated as a REIT or may terminate our REIT election if we determine that qualifying as a REIT is no longer in the best interests of our stockholders. If we cease to be a REIT, we would become subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income and would no longer be required to distribute most of our taxable income to our stockholders, which may have adverse consequences on our total return to our stockholders and on the market price of our common stock.

The share ownership restrictions of the Internal Revenue Code for REITs and the 9.8% share ownership limit in our charter may inhibit market activity in our shares of stock and restrict our business combination opportunities.

In order to qualify as a REIT for each taxable year ending on or after December 31, 2011, five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, may not own, actually or constructively, more than 50% in value of our issued and outstanding shares of stock at any time during the last half of a taxable year. Attribution rules in the Internal Revenue Code determine if any individual or entity actually or constructively owns our shares of stock under this requirement. Additionally, at least 100 persons must beneficially own our shares of stock during at least 335 days of a taxable year for each taxable year after December 31, 2011. To help insure that we meet these tests, among other purposes, our charter restricts the acquisition and ownership of our shares of stock.

Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT while we so qualify. Unless exempted by our board of directors, for so long as we qualify as a REIT, our charter prohibits, among other limitations on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock, any person from beneficially or constructively owning (applying certain attribution rules under the Internal Revenue Code) more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of stock and not more than 9.8% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of our shares of stock. Our board of directors may not grant an exemption from these restrictions to any proposed transferee whose ownership in excess of the 9.8% ownership limit would result in the termination of our qualification as a REIT. These restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply, however, if our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interest to continue to qualify as a REIT.

These ownership limits could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interest of the stockholders.

Potential characterization of distributions or gain on sale may be treated as unrelated business taxable income to tax-exempt investors.

If (a) we are a “pension-held REIT,” (b) a tax-exempt stockholder has incurred debt to purchase or hold our common stock, or (c) a holder of common stock is a certain type of tax-exempt stockholder, dividends on, and gains recognized on the sale of, common stock by such tax-exempt stockholder may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as unrelated business taxable income under the Internal Revenue Code.

Distributions to foreign investors may be treated as an ordinary income distribution to the extent that it is made out of current or accumulated earnings and profits.

In general, foreign investors will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax with respect to their investment in our stock if the income derived therefrom is “effectively connected” with the foreign investor’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States. A distribution to a foreign investor that is not attributable to gain realized by us from the sale or exchange of a “U.S. real property interest” within the meaning of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended (“FIRPTA”), and that we do not designate as a capital gain distribution, will be treated as an ordinary income distribution to the extent that it is made out of current or accumulated earnings and profits. Generally, any ordinary income distribution will be subject to a U.S. federal income tax equal to 30% of the gross amount of the distribution, unless this tax is reduced by the provisions of an applicable treaty.


28



Foreign investors may be subject to FIRPTA tax upon the sale of their shares of our stock.

A foreign investor disposing of a U.S. real property interest, including shares of stock of a U.S. corporation whose assets consist principally of U.S. real property interests, is generally subject to FIRPTA on the gain recognized on the disposition. Such FIRPTA tax does not apply, however, to the disposition of stock in a REIT if the REIT is “domestically controlled.” A REIT is “domestically controlled” if less than 50.0% of the REIT’s stock, by value, has been owned directly or indirectly by persons who are not qualifying U.S. persons during a continuous five-year period ending on the date of disposition or, if shorter, during the entire period of the REIT’s existence. While we intend to qualify as a “domestically controlled” REIT, we cannot assure you that we will. If we were to fail to so qualify, gain realized by foreign investors on a sale of shares of our stock would be subject to FIRPTA tax unless the shares of our stock were traded on an established securities market and the foreign investor did not at any time during a specified testing period directly or indirectly own more than 5.0% of the value of our outstanding common stock.


Foreign investors may be subject to FIRPTA tax upon the payment of a capital gains dividend.

A capital gains dividend paid to foreign investors, if attributable to gain from sales or exchanges of U.S. real property interests, would not be exempt from FIRPTA and would be subject to FIRPTA tax.

Retirement Plan Risks

If the fiduciary of an employee pension benefit plan subject to ERISA (such as profit-sharing, Section 401(k) or pension plan) or any other retirement plan or account fails to meet the fiduciary and other standards under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code as a result of an investment in our stock, the fiduciary could be subject to criminal and civil penalties.

There are special considerations that apply to employee benefit plans subject to ERISA (such as profit-sharing, Section 401(k) or pension plans) and other retirement plans or accounts subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (such as an IRA) that are investing in our shares. Fiduciaries investing the assets of such a plan or account in our common stock should satisfy themselves that:

•      the investment is consistent with their fiduciary obligations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code;

•      the investment is made in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the plan or IRA, including the plan’s or account’s investment policy;

•      the investment satisfies the prudence and diversification requirements of Sections 404(a)(1)(B) and 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA and other applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code;

•      the investment will not impair the liquidity of the plan or IRA;

•      the investment will not produce an unacceptable amount of “unrelated business taxable income” for the plan or IRA;

•      the value of the assets of the plan can be established annually in accordance with ERISA requirements and applicable provisions of the plan or IRA; and

•      the investment will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.

With respect to the annual valuation requirements described above, we expect to provide an estimated value for our shares annually. From the commencement of our initial public offering until up to 18 months have passed without a sale in a “public equity offering” of our common

stock, we expect to use the gross offering price of a share of common stock in our most recent offering as the per share estimated value. For purposes of this definition, we will not consider “public equity offerings” to include offerings on behalf of selling stockholders or offerings related to any dividend reinvestment plan, employee benefit plan or the redemption of interests in our operating partnership.

the Operating Partnership.

This estimated value is not likely to reflect the proceeds you would receive upon our liquidation or upon the sale of your shares. Accordingly, we can make no assurances that such estimated value will satisfy the applicable annual valuation requirements under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. The Department of Labor or the IRS may determine that a plan fiduciary or an IRA custodian is required to take further steps to determine the value of our common shares. In the absence of an appropriate determination of value, a plan fiduciary or an IRA custodian may be subject to damages, penalties or other sanctions.


29



Failure to satisfy the fiduciary standards of conduct and other applicable requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code may result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties and could subject the fiduciary to equitable remedies. In addition, if an investment in our shares constitutes a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, the fiduciary or IRA owner who authorized or directed the investment may be subject to the imposition of excise taxes with respect to the amount invested. In the case of a non-exempt prohibited transaction involving an IRA owner, the IRA may be disqualified and all of the assets of the IRA may be deemed distributed and subject to tax.


If you invested in our shares through an IRA or other retirement plan, you may be limited in your ability to withdraw required minimum distributions.
If you established an IRA or other retirement plan through which you invested in our shares, federal law may require you to withdraw required minimum distributions ("RMDs") from such plan in the future. Our share repurchase program limits the amount of repurchases (other than those repurchases as a result of a stockholder’s death or disability) that can be made in a given year. Additionally, you will not be eligible to have your shares repurchased until you have held your shares for at least one year. As a result, you may not be able to have your shares repurchased at a time in which you need liquidity to satisfy the RMD requirements under your IRA or other retirement plan. Even if you are able to have your shares repurchased, such repurchase may be at a price less than the price at which the shares were initially purchased, depending on how long you have held your shares. If you fail to withdraw RMDs from your IRA or other retirement plan, you may be subject to certain tax penalties.

Portfolio Tenancy

Prior to the acquisition of a property, we assess the suitability of the grocery anchorgrocery-anchor tenant and other tenants in light of our investment objectives, namely, preserving capital and providing stable cash flows for distributions. Generally, we assess the strength of the tenant by consideration of company factors, such as its financial strength and market share in the geographic area of the shopping center, as well as location-specific factors, such as the store’s sales, local competition and demographics. When assessing the tenancy of the non-anchor space at the shopping center, we consider the tenant mix at each shopping center in light of our portfolio, the proportion of national and national franchise tenants, and credit worthinessthe creditworthiness of specific tenants. When evaluating non-national tenancy, we attempt to obtain credit enhancements to leases, which typically come in the form of deposits and/or guarantees from one or more individuals.

As of March 11, 2012,February 28, 2014, we had 82641,535 stockholders of record.

Market Information

We are currently offering

Through February 7, 2014, we offered shares of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement at an offering price of $10.00 per share in our “best efforts” offering. As of March 11, 2012,February 28, 2014, we had approximately 3.4176.9 million shares of common stock outstanding, held by a total of 82641,535 stockholders of record. The number of stockholders is based on the records of DST Systems, Inc., who serves as our registrar and transfer agent.

There is no established trading market for our common stock. Therefore, there is a risk that a stockholder may not be able to sell our stock at a time or price acceptable to the stockholder, or at all. Pursuant to our offering, we are sellingsold shares of our common stock to the public in our primary offering at a price of $10.00 per shareshare. We also sold and continue to sell shares at a price of $9.50 per share pursuant to the DRP. Additionally, we provideprovided discounts in our offering for certain categories of purchasers, including volume discounts. Pursuant to the terms of our charter, certain restrictions are imposed on the ownership and transfer of shares.

Until the later of up to 18 months after the termination of the primary portion of our initial public offering or the termination of any subsequent primary offering of our shares, we intend to use the offering price of shares in our most recent offering as the per share net asset value. The estimated value of a share of our common stock is $10.00 per share as of December 31, 2011.2013. This estimated value may be higher than the price at which you could resell your shares because (1) our offering involvesinvolved the payment of underwriting compensation and other directed selling efforts, which payments and efforts arewere likely to produce a higher sales price than could otherwise behave been obtained, and (2) there is no public market for our shares. Moreover, this estimated value may be higher than the amount you would receive per share if we were to liquidate at this time because of the up-front fees that we paypaid in connection with the issuance of our shares as well as the recent reduction in the demand for real estate as a result of the recent credit market disruptions and economic slowdown.shares. Beginning up to 18 months after the last offering of shares, the value of the properties and other assets will be based on valuations of either our properties or usour company as a whole, whichever valuation method our board of directors determines to be appropriate, which may include independent valuations of our properties or of our enterprise as a whole.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

We have adopted the DRP, through which stockholders may elect to reinvest an amount equal to the dividends declared on their shares of common stock into shares of our common stock in lieu of receiving cash dividends. Shares may be purchased under the DRP for a price equal to $9.50 duringper share. Upon our primary offering period. Until we establishestablishment of an estimated value per share that is not based on the price to acquire a share in the primary offering or a follow-on public offering, shares issued pursuant to the DRP will be priced at the estimated value per share of our common stock, as determined by the Advisor or anotheran independent firm chosen for that purpose. We expect to establish an estimated value per share not based on the price to acquire a share in the primary offering or a follow-on public offering upon the completion of our offering stage. We will consider our offering stage complete when we are no longer offering equity securities—whether through the primary portion of our currentinitial public offering or follow-on public offerings—and have not done so for up to 18 months. Participants in the DRP may purchase fractional shares so that 100% of the dividends may be used to acquire additional shares of our common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2011, approximately 17,0002013, 1,970,408 shares or $158,000, were reinvestedissued through the DRP. There was no DRP, activity during 2010.

As of December 31, 2011,2013, we have used the net proceeds from our offering,offerings, combined with debt financing, to purchase $76.9 million$1.22 billion in real estate all of which is now owned through the Joint Venture.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

Share Repurchase Program

Our share repurchase program may provide a limited opportunity for stockholders to have shares of common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, at a price equal to or at a discount from the purchase price paid for the shares being repurchased.

Only those stockholders who purchased their shares from us or received their shares from us (directly or indirectly) through one or more non-cash transactions may be able to participate in the share repurchase program. In other words, once our shares are transferred for value by a stockholder, the transferee and all subsequent holders of the shares are not eligible to participate in the share repurchase program.


38



The repurchase price varies based upon the length of time that the shares of our common stock subject to repurchase have been held. Unless the shares are being repurchased in connection with a stockholder’s death, “determination of incompetence” or “qualifying disability,” the prices at which we will repurchase shares are as follows:

•      the lower of $9.25 and 92.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares for stockholders who have held their shares for at least one year;

•      the lower of $9.50 and 95.0% of the price paid to acquire the shares for stockholders who have held their shares for at least two years;

•      the lower of $9.75 and 97.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares for stockholders who have held their shares for at least three years; and

•      the lower of $10.00 and 100% of the price paid to acquire the shares for stockholders who have held their shares for at least four years.

The cash available for redemption on any particular date will generally be limited to the proceeds from the DRP during the period consisting of the preceding four fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available, less any cash already used for redemptions during the same period; however, subject to the limitations described above, we may use other sources of cash at the discretion of the board of directors. The limitations described above do not apply to shares repurchased due to a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability,” or “determination of incompetence.”

Notwithstanding the above, once we establish an estimated fair value per share of our common stock that is not based on the price to acquire a share in the primary offering or a follow-on public or private offering, the repurchase price per share for all stockholders wouldwill be equal to the estimated fair value per share, as determined by the Advisor or another firm chosen for that purpose.

In some respects, we would treat repurchases sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” differently from other repurchases:

•      there is no one-year holding requirement; and

•      until we establish an estimated value per share, which we expect to be upon the completion of our offering stage (described above), the repurchase price is the amount paid to acquire the shares from us.

Repurchases of shares of common stock will be made monthly upon written notice received by us at least five days prior to the end of the applicable month. Stockholders may withdraw their repurchase request at any time up to five business days prior to the repurchase date.

The board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time. If the board of directors decides to amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program, stockholders will be provided with no less than 30 days’ written notice.

There were no shares tendered for repurchase in the year ended December 31, 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2011,2013, we repurchased 5,63086,003 shares under the share repurchase program for a total of $56,000$849,000 or $9.99$9.87 per share. For the year ended December 31, 2011,2012, we repurchased 3,749 shares under the share repurchase program for a total of $35,089, or $9.36 per share.   As of December 31, 2013, we recorded a liability of $76,000 representing our obligation to repurchase 8,072 shares of common stock submitted for repurchase during the year ended December 31, 2013 but not yet repurchased.

Market Outlook—Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets


Management reviews a number of economic forecasts and market commentaries in order to evaluate general economic conditions and to formulate a view of the current environment’s effect on the real estate markets in which we operate.

As


According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, as measured by the U.S. real gross domestic product (“GDP”), the U.S. economy’s growth increased at an annual rate of 2.8%1.9% in the fourth quarter of 2011,2013 as compared to 2012, according to preliminary estimates. For the full year of 2011,2012, real GDP increased 1.7%2.8% compared with an increase of 3.0% for 2010.to 2011. According to the Commerce Department, the real GDP deceleration in year-to-year growth2013 primarily reflected downturnsa decrease in private inventory growthnonresidential investment and further reductions in federal government spending partly offset by decelerations in both imports and the reductions in state and local government spending. The increase in real GDP in 20112013 reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures, nonresidential fixed investment, exports, residential fixed investment, and exports, partiallyprivate inventory investment that were partly offset by decreased state and localnegative contributions from federal government spending.

Although the U.S. GDP has continued to increase, the increases have been far below the historical average annual growth rate.

According to BMO Capital Markets, GDP is expected to grow approximately 2.8% in 2014. The U.S. retail real estate market displayed mixed signspositive fundamentals in the continuance of its rebounding effort during 2011, as2013, with vacancy rates dropped again but so too didcontinuing to drop and increasing average leasing rates per square foot leasing rates. Vacancy rates dropped to 7.0% at December 31, 2011, as compared to 7.3% atfoot.

Overall, the end of 2010 even as inventory increased slightly. Although the vacancy rate declined in 2011, it is still considerably higher than the 6.0% vacancy rate seen at the end of 2007. The market had a positive net absorption of 51 million feet in 2011. It appears the positive absorption and decreased vacancy rate is coming at the expense of rents. Average rents, on a per square foot basis, continued the three-year trend of decreasing to $15.13 from $15.46 at the end of 2010.

The dollar sales total ofimproving retail real estate transactions increased by almost 20% in 2011, as compared to 2010. As the volume of transactions increased, sales prices increased and price per square foot of transactions increased by almost 12%. There was also a significant decrease in capitalization rates from 8.19% in 2010 to 7.72% in 2011.

Retail real estate displayed improving fundamentals in 2011. The improving fundamentals along with the improving unemploymentjob creation and personal consumption expenditure data suggest an increasinglythat 2014 should be another year of economic recovery in the U.S. that results in a positive market situationsituation. However, several factors create long-term uncertainty for the sector, including the growth in 2012.

e-commerce, future interest rate growth, stagnant wages and the general political climate.


The Joint Venture

On September 20, 2011, we entered into the Joint Venture with a group of institutional international investors advised by CBRE Global Multi Manager (each a “Non-Controlling Interest”“CBRE Investor”). We, through an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, serveserved as the general partner of and will ownowned a 54% interest in the Joint Venture. Each Non-Controlling Interest isCBRE Investor was a limited partner and they will

collectively ownowned a 46% interest in the Joint Venture. Below is a summary ofOn December 31, 2013, we acquired the major terms of the Joint Venture. We have contributed all of our assets to date to the Joint Venture.

Investment Strategy. The Joint Venture intends to invest in necessity-based neighborhood and community shopping centers with acquisition costs of no more than $20 million per property. Each acquired property is to have an occupancy rate of at least 80%, with no vacant primary anchor tenant at the time of acquisition. The aggregate level of debt financing is generally not to exceed 50% of the gross asset value of the properties owned by the Joint Venture once all capital contributions have been fully funded, but may go up to 60% during the investment period.

Capital Contributions. We have committed to contribute approximately $59 million to the Joint Venture and the Non-Controlling Interests have committed to contribute $50 million in cash. We funded our capital commitment through the contribution of six properties (with a purchase price of approximately $63.0 million to acquire those properties) and cash. Partners are not obligated to contribute capital after March 20, 2013.

Management. As general partner, we control the management of the Joint Venture. We have engaged the Advisor to advise the Joint Venture. The Advisor has delegated its duties with respect to the Joint Venture to the Sub-advisor. We have also engaged the Property Manager to provide property management services to the Joint Venture. The agreements generally mirror the similar agreements in place among and between us and the Advisor, the Sub-advisor and the Property Manager.

Certain major decisions will require the approval of an executive committee, which consists of four members: two appointed by us and two appointed by the Non-Controlling Interests. The major decisions that require executive committee approval include, but are not limited to:

certain related-party transactions;

acquisitions not consistent with the Joint Venture’s investment strategy;

the incurrence of debt or guarantees not consistent with the Joint Venture’s investment strategy;

litigation with a primary anchor tenant;

the decision to rebuild a property that has suffered a casualty (except as required by any lease or loan document);

disposing of substantially all of the assets of the Joint Venture before August 13, 2013;

the dissolution or liquidation of the Joint Venture or any subsidiary; and

any amendment to the limited partnership agreement of the Joint Venture.

Distributions. The Joint Venture will make periodic distributions of net cash flow to us and the Non-Controlling Interests pro rata based on our respective percentage interests. The portion allocated to the Non-Controlling Interests will first be distributed to the Non-Controlling Interests until it has received an inflation-adjusted real rate of return of 5%. The remaining net cash flow allocated to the Non-Controlling Interests will then be distributed 85% to the Non-Controlling Interests and 15% to the Sub-advisor, which is also a limited partner for purposes of earning the promote but which is not investing any capital in the Joint Venture. No carried interest is paid to the Sub-advisor with respect to the distributions allocated to us because we pay an incentive fee to the Advisor and Sub-advisor pursuant to our existing advisory agreement.

Outside Activities. Until March 20, 2013 (or the investment of all of the capital that is to be contributed to the Joint Venture), neither we nor the Sub-advisor may acquire properties meeting the Joint Venture’s investment strategy except through the Joint Venture. This restriction applies to our affiliates and the Sub-advisor’s affiliates as well.

Transfer Restrictions. The limited partnership agreement contains restrictions on each partner’s ability to transfer their interests in the Joint Venture, including certain indirect transfers. Notwithstanding those restrictions, none of the following transfers would constitute a breach of the limited partnership agreement:

transfers of a Non-Controlling Interest’s46% interest in the Joint Venture provided thatpreviously owned by the CBRE Investors for a purchase price of $57.0 million. As a result, we are first given an opportunity to purchase the interest at the proposed transfer price;

transfers of our interest in the Joint Venture to a “qualified property manager” for cash after the expiration of the “lock-out period,” which is defined as the earlier of (i) August 31, 2013 or (ii) the first date on which we have raised aggregate equity of $1.5 billion, subject to the Non-Controlling Interests’ tag-along rights described below;

indirect transfers of our interests, such as through changes in the ownership of us or our operating partnership, if no single person would directly or indirectly own 20% of our subsidiary that acts as the general partner to the Joint Venture;

any transfer of our shares issued in our current public offering or other public offerings; and

certain transfers to affiliates.

Tag-Along Rights. If we sell our interests to a qualified property manager, we must use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the purchaser to also purchase all of the interests of those individual Non-Controlling Interests who desire to sell. If the purchaser does not agree to purchase all of these interests, then each Non-Controlling Interest who desires to sell will sell a proportionate part of the interest it desires to sell and we will sell a proportionate part of our interest.

If we conduct a registered offering of shares listed on a national securities exchange, each Non-Controlling Interest has the right to convert its interest in the Joint Venture into privately issued shares in our company. The number of shares to be received will be based on the appraised value of the assetsowned 100% of the Joint Venture divided by the price paid in the offering.

Go-Along Obligation. After the expiration of the lock-out period, if we enter into an agreement to sell all of our interests in the Joint Venture for a cash purchase price, the Non-Controlling Interests must also sell all of their interests to the purchaser on the same terms.

Buy/Sell Procedures. We or the Non-Controlling Interests (acting as a group) may initiate buy/sell procedures with respect to our respective ownership interests in the event that a majority of the executive committee members are not able to reach an agreement on certain major decisions. Under the buy/sell procedures, one partner must deliver to the other partner notice of its intention to exercise the buy/sell option. Such notice shall state the value of the real and tangible personal property owned by the Joint Venture. The partner receiving such notice must either (i) sell its interests based on the value provided in the notice, or (ii) buy the other partner’s interests based upon that value. The buy/sell rights are not applicable at any time in which our interest in the Joint Venture is worth more than half of our total assets.

The contract purchase price excludes closing costs and acquisition costs.

(2)

We calculate annualized effective rent as the annual contractual rent less any tenant concessions.

We are not aware of any material current tenants who will not be able to pay their contractual rental amounts as they become due or whose inability to pay would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions.

We acquired 19 properties during 2012, bringing total properties owned as of December 31, 2012 to 26, and we acquired 57 properties during 2013, bringing total properties owned as of December 31, 2013 to 83.  Unless otherwise discussed below, year-to-year comparative differences for the years ended December 31, 2010, pertain only2013 and 2012, are almost entirely attributable to the period that our operations commenced, September 17, 2010,number of properties owned and the property-level information covers onlylength of ownership of these properties.

During the brief period beginning withyear ended December 31, 2013, we entered into 70 new leases comprising a total of 122,403 square feet. These leases will generate first-year base rental revenues of $1.8 million, representing average rent per square foot of $14.55.  In addition, we executed renewals on 108 leases comprising a total of 267,288 square feet.  These leases will generate first-year base rental revenues of $4.1 million, representing average rent per square foot of $15.21. Prior to the renewals, the average annual rent was $14.75 per square foot.  The cost of executing the leases and renewals, including leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs, and tenant concessions, was $7.48 per square foot. 

In addition to a $0.9 million increase related to the acquisition of 76 properties in 2012 and 2013, the primary reasons for the $2.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses were a $0.5 million increase in asset management fees paid by the CBRE Investors, a $0.4 million increase in transfer agent fees, and a $0.3 million increase in insurance expense, which are all a result of the overall growth of the company.


43



In addition to a $5.2 million increase related to the acquisition of 76 properties in 2012 and 2013, the $7.5 million increase in interest expense is primarily the result of a $1.1 million write off of deferred financing costs for loans that were canceled during 2013 and a $0.7 million increase in deferred financing cost amortization related to our firstsecured credit facility.

We generally expect our revenues and expenses to increase in future years as a result of owning the properties acquired in 2013 for a full year and the acquisition Lakeside Plaza,of additional properties. Although we expect our general and administrative expenses to increase, we expect such expenses to decrease as a percentage of our revenues. We currently have substantial uninvested proceeds raised from our initial public offering, which we are seeking to invest promptly on attractive terms.  If we are unable to invest the proceeds promptly and on attractive terms, we may have difficulty continuing to pay distributions at a 6.7% annualized rate.

During 2012 we acquired 19 properties, bringing total properties owned as of December 31, 2012 to 26. As such, year-to-year comparative differences for the years ended December 31, 20102012 and 2011 are largelyalmost entirely attributable to the number of properties owned, the length of

ownership of these properties, and abbreviated period of operations during 2010. As a result,properties.


During the following discussion of our results of operation is not necessarily indicative of those expected in future periods.

Summary of operating activities for years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010

Total revenues for year ended December 31, 2011 were $3.5 million, with rental income of $2.8 million. Other revenue, largely comprised of tenant reimbursements, was $767,000.

Total revenues for year ended December 31, 2010 were $98,000, with rental income of $85,000. Other revenue, largely comprised of tenant reimbursements, was $13,000.

During year ended December 31, 2011,2012, we entered into four18 new leases comprising a total of 5,95032,584 square feet. These leases will generate first yeargenerated first-year base rental revenues of $98,000. There$358,000, representing average rent per square foot of $10.99.  In addition, we executed renewals on 38 leases comprising a total of 82,724 square feet.  These leases generated first-year base rental revenues of $1,338,000, representing average rent per square foot of $16.18.  The cost of executing the leases and renewals, including leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs, and tenant concessions, was no leasing activity during year ended December 31, 2010 as we did not acquire our first property until December 2010.

Property operating$4.32 per square foot. 


In addition to a $0.2 million increase related to the acquisition of 24 properties in 2011 and 2012, the primary reason for the $0.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses for year ended December 31, 2011 were $631,000. The main items attributable to this total were: common area maintenance expense of $305,000, propertyis a $0.6 million increase in asset management fees relatedpaid by the CBRE Investors.
Same-Center Net Operating Income
We present Same-Center Net Operating Income (“Same-Center NOI”) as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Net Operating Income (“NOI”) as total operating revenues less property operating expenses. Same-Center NOI represents the NOI for Lakeside Plaza, Snow View Plaza, St. Charles Plaza, Centerpoint, Southampton Village, Burwood Village Center, and Cureton Town Center, which are the properties that were operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods and which were not acquired or disposed of during the comparable reporting periods. We believe that NOI and Same-Center NOI provide useful information to services provided by affiliatesour investors about our financial and operating performance because it provides a performance measure of the Sub-advisorrevenues and expenses directly involved in owning and operating real estate assets and provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. Because Same-Center NOI excludes the change

44



in NOI from properties acquired and disposed of, $157,000,it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates and insuranceoperating costs on properties that were operational for both comparable periods. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Same-Center NOI, and accordingly, our Same-Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.
Same-Center NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it does not reflect the operations of our entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, other income, or the level of $64,000.

Propertycapital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating expenses for year ended December 31, 2010 were approximately $14,000. The items comprising this expense included common area maintenance expense and insurance.

Real estate tax expense was $507,000 and $18,000, respectively,performance of our properties that could materially impact our results from operations.


Below is a reconciliation of net loss to Same-Center NOI for the years ended December 31, 20112013 and December 31, 2010.

General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, were $845,000 and $228,000, respectively. These amounts were comprised largely of asset management fees paid to the Advisor and Sub-advisor, audit and tax fees, legal, board-related expenses and transfer agent fees. Our sponsors provided $88,000 for year ended December 31, 2011 and $140,000 for year ended December 31, 2010 for certain of our general and administrative expenses as capital contributions. Our sponsors have not received, and will not receive, any reimbursement for this contribution. There is no assurance that our sponsors will continue to contribute monies to fund future expenses.

On March 28, 2011, we amended our advisory agreement to reflect a waiver of all or a portion of the asset management fee for any applicable period to the extent that as of the date of the payment, our modified funds from operations, (as defined in accordance with the then-current practice guidelines issued by the Investment Program Association with an additional adjustment to add back capital contribution amounts received from the Sub-advisor or an affiliate thereof (without any corresponding issuance of equity to the Sub-advisor or affiliate), during the quarter were not at least equal to our declared distributions during the quarter, provided that the distribution rate during such quarter was no more than $0.65 per share on an annualized basis.

Asset management fees were $347,000 for year ended December 31, 2011, but $284,000 of these total fees has been waived by the Advisor and Sub-advisor pursuant to the amended advisory agreement detailed in the previous paragraph.

Asset management fees were $18,000 for year ended December 31, 2010, but were waived by the advisor and sub-advisor.

During year ended December 31, 2011, acquisition-related expenses in the amount of $1.8 million were incurred. Included in these acquisition-related expenses were acquisition fees due to the Advisor and Sub-advisor of $356,000 for the five acquisitions that closed during 2011, $288,000 for the completion of the Joint Venture agreement and $68,000 of expense was incurred for prospective acquisitions that did not close or have not yet closed. The remainder of the expense largely related to various professional services provided in connection with the acquisitions, including accounting, legal, environmental and due diligence.

For year ended December 31, 2010, acquisition-related expenses in the amount of $467,000 were incurred. Included in these acquisition-related expenses were acquisition fees due to the Advisor and Sub-advisor of $215,000 and $34,000 of expense that was incurred for prospective acquisitions that did not close.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, were $1.5 million and $81,000, respectively.

Interest expense related to the variable-rate mortgages secured by our real estate assets was $811,000 for year ended December 31, 2011.

Interest expense was $38,000 for year ended December 31, 2010. Of this expense, approximately $2,000 was related to a loan provided to us by the Sub-advisor.

As a result of the contribution of properties and cash to the Joint Venture beginning in November 2011, 46% of all net income or net loss recorded by the Joint Venture is allocable to the Non-Controlling Interests. For year ended December 31, 2011, $152 of the net

loss of the Joint Venture was allocated to the Non-Controlling Interests. As the operations of the Joint Venture did not begin until November 2011, there was no corresponding allocation of the net loss for year ended December 31, 2010 to the interests.

The net loss attributable to the Company’s shareholders was $2.4 million and $747,000, respectively, for years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our principal demands for funds are for real estate and real estate-related investments and the payment of acquisition-relatedacquisition expenses, operating expenses, distributions to stockholders and principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness. Generally, we expect cash needs for items other than acquisitions and acquisition-related expenses will be generated from operations and our current investments. The sources of our operating cash flows are primarily driven by the rental income received from leased properties. We expect to continue to raise capital through our ongoing offering of common stock and to utilize such funds and proceeds from secured or unsecured financing to complete future property acquisitions. As of December 31, 2011,2013, we had raisedsold approximately $25.4173.6 million shares of common stock in the primary portion of our initial public offering for gross offering proceeds fromof approximately $1.72 billion. We ceased offering shares in the primary portion of our initial public offering including $0.2 million throughon February 7, 2014. We continue to offer shares of common stock under the DRP.

As of December 31, 2011,2013, we had sold 2,126,348 shares of common stock under the DRP for gross offering proceeds of $20.2 million. As of December 31, 2013, we have invested a significant amount of the proceeds from our initial public offering in real estate properties, and we anticipate making a significant number of investments in the future. We intend to use our cash on hand, proceeds from debt financing, cash flow generated by our real estate operations, and proceeds from our DRP as our primary sources of immediate and long-term liquidity.

As of December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7.0$460.3 million. During 2011,the year ended December 31, 2013, we generatedhad a net cash increase of approximately $6.3$452.6 million.

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through existing cash on hand, investments in certificates of deposits, net cash provided by property operations, DRP proceeds, from our offering, and proceeds from secured and unsecured debt financings, along with any deferral or waiver of fees by the Advisor or Sub-advisor.financings. Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties are added to our portfolio. TheOther than the commissions paid to Realty Capital Securities, LLC, the dealer manager for our initial public offering, the organization and offering costs associated with our offering arewere initially paid by our sponsors.  Our sponsors which will bewere reimbursed for such costs up to 1.5% of the gross capital raised in our initial public offering. As of December 31, 2011,2013, we owed the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates have paid approximately $7.1a total of $1.1 million, of organization and offering costs and $1.3 million of general and administrative expenses. Our sponsors provided $88,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011 and $140,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 for certain of our general and administrative expenses as capital contributions. Our sponsors have not received, and will not receive, any reimbursement or additional equity for these contributions. Our sponsors do not intend to make further capital contributions to continue to fund certain of our general and administrative expenses. Under the terms of the advisory agreement, we are to reimburse on a monthly basis the Advisor, the Sub-advisor or their respective affiliates for cumulative organization and offering costs and future organization and offering costs they may incur on our behalf, but only to the extent that the reimbursement would not exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds over the life of the offering. In addition, approximately $2.0 millionconsisting of organization and offering costs incurred by the Sub-advisor on our behalf has not beenand fees charged to us or been recorded in our consolidated financial statements. Whether these costs will be billed to us in the future is at the discretionfor asset management, property management, and other services. 
We have $196.1 million of our Sub-advisor and will likely depend on the success of our public offering. There is no assurance that our sponsors will continue to contribute monies to fund future expenses. The Company has $8.5 million ofcontractual debt obligations, representing mortgage loans for Lakeside Plazasecured by our real estate assets and Snow View Plaza, maturing inexcluding below-market debt adjustments of $4.8 million, net of accumulated amortization, as of December 2012. The Company can extend these31, 2013 .  As they mature, we intend to refinance our debt obligations, until December 2013, by paying a fee equal to 0.25%if possible, or pay off the balances at maturity using the net proceeds of our offering or other proceeds from corporate-level debt. Of the amount outstanding balance at the time of the maturity dates in December 2012.

Cash provided by operating activities was approximately $593,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Included2013, $22.9 million is for loans which mature in this total was approximately $1.82014.  We also have access to a $350 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which may be expanded to $600 million, with no current outstanding principal balance as of real estate acquisition-related expenses incurred during the period and expensed in accordance with ASC 805,Business Combinations.December 31, 2013, from which we may draw funds to pay certain long-term debt obligations as they mature.

For the year ended December 31, 2011,2013, gross distributions of approximately $873,000$38.0 million were paid to stockholders, including $158,000$18.7 million of distributions reinvested through the DRP, for net cash distributions of $715,000. These distributions were funded from advances from the Sub-advisor and$19.3 million. Our cash generated from operations. Foroperating activities for the year ended December 31, 2010, no distributions were paid.

The declaredauthorized distributions will equal an amount of $0.001780802$0.00183562 per share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. This equates to a 6.50%6.70% annualized yield when calculated on a $10.00 per share purchase price. A portion of each distribution is expected to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes.  Distributions for the month of January were paid on February 1, 2012 and distributions for the month of February were paid on March 1, 2012. Distributions for the month of March will be paid on such day of April 2012 as our President may determine. All of the distributions paid in 2012 were funded from operations, as our policy is not to fund distributions with proceeds from our initial public offering.

Our leverage ratio was 51.7% (calculated as secured mortgage notes payable, less cash and cash equivalents, as a percentage of total real estate investments, at cost) as of December 31, 2011.

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

On a long-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for real estate and real estate-related investments and the payment of acquisition related expenses, operating expenses, distributions and redemptions to stockholders, and interest and principal on indebtedness, as well as payments on amounts due to our sponsors.indebtedness. Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions and acquisition-relatedacquisition expenses from our cash flow from operations, and we expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions and acquisition-relatedacquisition expenses from the net proceeds of our offeringofferings and from debt financings.  As they mature, we intend to refinance our long-term debt obligations, if possible, or pay off the balances at maturity using the net proceeds of our offering or proceeds from other corporate-level debt.  We expect that substantially all net cash generated from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, are paid at the properties;funded; however, we may use other sources to fund distributions as necessary, including contributions or advances made to us by the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their respective affiliates and borrowings under future debt agreements.

borrowings.

Our charter limits our borrowings such that our total liabilities do not exceed 75.0% of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves)to 300% of our tangible assets;net assets (as defined in our charter); however, we may exceed that limit if a majority of our conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of our charter limitation and if we disclose such borrowing to our stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. In all events, we expect that our secured and unsecured borrowings will be reasonable in relation to the net value of our assets and will be reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly.

As of December 31, 2013, our borrowings equated to 13.7% of our net assets.

Careful use of debt will help us to achieve our diversification goals because we will have more funds available for investment. However, high levels of debt could cause us to incur higher interest charges and higher debt service payments, which would decrease the amount of cash available for distribution to our investors.

As of December 31, 2012, our leverage ratio was 48.5% (calculated as total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, as a percentage of total real estate investments, including acquired intangible lease assets and liabilities, at cost). As of December 31, 2013, our leverage ratio could not be calculated, as defined in the previous sentence, as our cash balances exceeded our debt outstanding.

(2)
A portion of the fixed rate debt represents loans assumed as part of certain acquisitions.  These loans typically have higher interest rates than interest rates associated with new debt.

Interest Rate Hedging

In March 2013, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectually fixes the variable interest rate on $50.0 million of our unsecured credit facility at 2.10% through December 2017. The swap was designed and qualified as a cash flow hedge and was recorded at fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded losses of $48,000 due to a notional mismatch between the debt and swap as we did not continually have $50.0 million outstanding under our secured or unsecured credit facilities during the period.

The interest rate swap associated with our cash flow hedge is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedge both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swap associated with our cash flow hedge is recorded in other comprehensive income, which is included in accumulated other comprehensive income on our consolidated balance sheet and our consolidated statement of equity. Our cash flow hedge becomes ineffective if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt instrument do not perfectly match, such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, calculation period and LIBOR rate. If a cash flow hedge is deemed ineffective, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swap associated with our cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings in the period affected. In addition, we evaluate the default risk of the counterparty by monitoring the credit-worthiness of the counterparty, which includes reviewing debt ratings and financial performance. However, management does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparty.

Our portfolio debt instruments and the unsecured credit facility contain certain covenants and restrictions that require us to meet certain financial ratios, including but not limited to: borrowing base loan-to-value ratio, debt service coverage ratio and fixed charge ratio. As of December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with the restrictive covenants of our outstanding debt obligations. We expect to continue to meet the requirements of our debt covenants over the short- and long-term.

Distributions

For

During the year ended December 31, 2011,2013, gross distributions of approximately $873,000paid were paid, including $158,000 of distributions$38.0 million with $18.7 million being reinvested through the DRP for net cash distributions of $715,000. These distributions were funded from$19.3 million. Our cash generatedprovided by operations of $593,000 and by advances from the Sub-advisor of $122,000 . Foroperating activities for the year ended December 31, 2010, no distributions were paid. In January2013 was $18.5 million.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, gross distributions of approximately $142,000paid were paid, including $37,000 of distributions$3.7 million with $1.3 million being reinvested through the DRP for net cash distributions of $105,000. These$2.4 million.  Our cash generated by operating

47



activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $4.0 million.  There were gross distributions of $9.8 million accrued and payable as of December 31, 2013. To the extent that distributions paid were greater than our cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2013, we funded such excess distributions with borrowings and proceeds from our primary offering.
Distributions for the period from January 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013 accrued at an average daily rate of $0.00178082 per share of common stock. Distributions for the period from February 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 accrued at an average daily rate of $0.00183562 per share of common stock. Our net loss attributable to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $12.4 million.  Our cumulative gross distributions and net loss attributable to stockholders from inception through December 31, 2013 were $42.6 million and $18.9 million, respectively.  We have funded our cumulative distributions, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with cash provided by operating activities, advances from the Sub-advisor, borrowings and cash generated from operations. On November 9, 2011, our board of directors declared distributions to the stockholders of record at the close of business each day in the period commencing January 1, 2012 through and including March 31, 2012. The declared distributions will equal an amount of $0.001780802 per share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. This equates to a 6.50% annualized yield when calculated on a $10.00 per share purchase price. A portion of each distribution is expected to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes. Distributions for the month of January were paid on February 1, 2012 and distributions for the month of February were paid on March 1, 2012. Distributions for the month of March will be paid on such day of April 2012 as our President

may determine. Distributions were funded from operations as well as debt proceeds and sponsor contributions, as our policy is not to fund distributions with proceeds from our initial publicprimary offering.

We expect to pay distributions monthly and continue paying distributions monthly unless our results of operations, our general financial condition, general economic conditions or other factors make it imprudent to do so. The timing and amount of distributions will be determined by our board and will be influenced in part by itsour intention to comply with REIT requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

We

As of December 31, 2013, we have a large amount of uninvested proceeds from the sale of shares under the primary portion of our initial public offering. Although our intention is to invest such offering proceeds into real estate investments on attractive terms as promptly as possible, we may be unable to do so. As a result, the income from interest or rents that we receive may not be commensurate with the amount of distributions we will pay to our stockholders. Consequently, we expect that at least during the early stages of our development and from time to time during our operational stage, we will declare distributions in anticipation of funds that we expect to receive during a later period and weperiod.  We will pay these distributions in advance of our actual receipt of these funds. In these instances, we expect to look to borrowings or proceeds from our offerings to fund our distributions. We may also fund such distributions from advances from our sponsors or from any deferral or waiver of fees by the Advisor or Sub-advisor.

  To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash provided by operating activities, we will have fewer funds available for investment in properties.  The overall return to our stockholders may be reduced, and subsequent investors may experience dilution.

Our general distribution policy is not to use the proceeds of our offeringofferings to pay distributions.  However, our board has the authority under our organizational documents, to the extent permitted by Maryland law, to pay distributions from any source without limit, including proceeds from our offeringofferings or the proceeds from the issuance of securities in the future.

  To the extent that we have raised substantial amounts of offering proceeds and have been unable to promptly invest these proceeds on attractive terms, our cash provided by operating activities has been insufficient to fully fund our ongoing distributions.  Because we do not intend to borrow money for the specific purpose of funding distribution payments, we have funded, and may continue to fund, a portion of our distributions with proceeds from our offerings.

To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90.0% of our REIT taxable income (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). If we meet the REIT qualification requirements, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the income that we distribute to our stockholders each year.

However, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income, property or net worth, respectively, and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

We have not established a minimum distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make distributions to our stockholders.


Funds from Operations, Funds from Operations Adjusted for Acquisition Expenses, and Modified Funds from Operations

Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP performance financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We use FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains (or losses) from sales of property (including deemed sales and settlements of pre-existing relationships), plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets and impairment charges, and after related adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and subsidiaries and non-controllingnoncontrolling interests. We believe that FFO is helpful to our investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, impairment charges, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared year to year, reflects the

48



impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which are not immediately apparent from net income. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate and intangibles diminishes predictably over time.time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or are requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, including inflation, changes in interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. As a result, our management believes that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, is helpful for our investors in understanding our performance. In particular, because GAAP impairment charges 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 rate, occupancy and other core operating fundamentals. Additionally, we believe it is appropriate to exclude impairment charges from FFO, as these are fair value adjustments that are largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions, which can change over time. Factors that impact FFO include start-up costs, fixed costs, delay in buying assets, lower yields on cash held in accounts, income from portfolio properties and other portfolio assets, interest rates on acquisition financing and operating expenses. In addition, FFO will be affected by the types of investments in our targeted portfolio, which will consist primarily of, but is not limited to, necessity-based neighborhood and community shopping centers, first-centers.

An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indicators exist and second-priority mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, bridgeif the carrying or book value exceeds the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows (including net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and any other loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, and debt securities of real estate companies.ancillary cash flows at a property or group level under GAAP) from such asset. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted cash flows from a property, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows, are taken into account in determining whether an impairment charge has been incurred. WhileAlthough impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, as impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows, investors are cautioned that we may not recover any impairment charges. 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.


Since FFO was promulgated, GAAP has expanded to include several new accounting pronouncements, such that management and many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of FFO alone to be insufficient. Accordingly, in addition to FFO, we use both FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and modified funds from operations, or MFFO, as defined by the Investment Program Association (“IPA”). FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses excludes acquisition fees and expenses from FFO. In addition to excluding acquisition fees and expenses, MFFO also excludes from FFO the following items:

(1)acquisition fees and expenses;

(2)straight-line rent amounts, both income and expense;

(3)amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities;

(4)amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments;

(5)gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt;

(6)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;

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

(8)gains or losses related to consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting;

(9)gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments; and

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

(1) straight-line rent amounts, both income and expense;
(2) amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities;
(3) amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments;
(4) gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt;
(5) 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;
(6) gains or losses related to fair-value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting, including interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives;
(7) gains or losses related to consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting;
(8) gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments; and
(9) adjustments related to the above items for unconsolidated entities in the application of equity accounting.

We believe that both FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO isare helpful in assisting management and investors assesswith the assessment of the sustainability of operating performance in future periods and, in particular, after our offering and acquisition stages are complete, primarily because it excludesboth FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO exclude acquisition expenses that affect property operations only in the period in which the property is acquired. Thus, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO providesprovide helpful information relevant to evaluating our operating performance in periods in which there is no acquisition activity.

In evaluating investments in real estate, including both business combinations and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, management’s investment models and analysis differentiate costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Prior to 2009, acquisition costs for both of these types of investments were capitalized under GAAP; however, beginning in 2009, acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed. We have funded, and intend to continue to fund, both of these acquisition-related costs from offering proceeds and generally not from operations.  However, if offering proceeds are not available to fund these acquisition-related costs, operational cash flows may be used to fund future acquisition-related costs. We believe by excluding expensed acquisition costs, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO provide 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 those paid to the Advisor, the Sub-advisor or third parties.

As explained below, management’s evaluation of our operating performance excludes the additional items considered in the calculation of MFFO based on the following economic considerations. Many of the adjustments in arriving at MFFO are not applicable to us. Nevertheless, we explain below the reasons for each of the adjustments made in arriving at our MFFO definition.

Acquisition fees and expenses. In evaluating investments in real estate, including both business combinations and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, management’s investment models and analyses differentiate costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Prior to 2009, acquisition costs for both of these types of investments were capitalized under GAAP; however, beginning in 2009, acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed. Both of these acquisition-related costs have been and will continue to be funded from the proceeds of our offering and generally not from operations. We believe by excluding expensed acquisition costs, 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 those paid to the Advisor, the Sub-advisor or third parties.

Adjustments for straight-line rents and amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments. In the proper application of GAAP, rental receipts and discounts and premiums on debt investments are allocated to periods using various systematic methodologies. This application may result in income recognition that could be significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

Adjustments for amortization of above or below market intangible lease assets. Similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangibles diminishes ratably over time and that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since real estate values and market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.

Gains or losses related to fair-value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting and gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments. Each of these items relates 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 current operating performance. As these gains or losses relate to underlying long-term assets and liabilities, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in core operating fundamentals rather than changes that may reflect anticipated gains or losses.

Adjustment for gains or losses related to early extinguishment of hedges, debt, consolidation or deconsolidation and contingent purchase price. Similar to extraordinary items excluded from FFO, these adjustments are not related to continuing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods and to other real estate operators.

Adjustments for straight-line rents and amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments. In the proper application of GAAP, rental receipts and discounts and premiums on debt investments are allocated to periods using various systematic methodologies. This application may result in income recognition that could be significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance. The adjustment to MFFO for straight-line rents, in particular, is made to reflect rent and lease payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis.
Adjustments for amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets. Similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangibles diminishes ratably over time and that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since real estate values and market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.
Gains or losses related to fair-value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting and gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments. Each of these items relates 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 current operating performance. As these gains or losses relate to underlying long-term assets and liabilities, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in core operating fundamentals rather than changes that may reflect anticipated gains or losses.
Adjustment for gains or losses related to early extinguishment of hedges, debt, consolidation or deconsolidation and contingent purchase price. Similar to extraordinary items excluded from FFO, these adjustments are not related to continuing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods and to other real estate operators.

By providing FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that also assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after our offering and acquisition stages are completed. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry. However, under GAAP, acquisition costs are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income (loss). These expenses are paid in cash by us, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to investors. FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO isare useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisition stages are completed with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. However, investors are cautioned that FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisition stages are completed, as it excludesboth measures exclude acquisition costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired. All paid and accrued acquisition costs negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which properties are acquired and will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase prices of the properties we acquire. Therefore, MFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance,

50



especially during periods in which properties are being acquired. MFFO that excludes such costs and expenses would only be comparable to that of non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activities and have similar operating characteristics as us. The purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make distributions to investors. In the event that we do not have sufficient offering proceeds to fund the payment of acquisition fees and the reimbursement of acquisition expenses, we may still be obligated to pay acquisition fees and reimburse acquisition expenses to our Advisor and Sub-advisor and the Advisor and Sub-advisor will be under no obligation to reimburse these payments back to us. As a result, such fees and expenses may need to be paid from other sources, including additional debt, operational earnings or cash flows, net proceeds from the sale of properties or from ancillary cash flows. Acquisition costs also adversely affect our book value and equity.


The additional items that may be excluded from FFO to determine MFFO are cash flow adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities. Each of these items is considered an important overall operational factor that affects our long-term operational profitability. These items and any other mark-to-market or fair value adjustments may be based on many factors, including current operational or individual property issues or general market or overall industry conditions. Although we are responsible for managing interest rate, hedge and foreign exchange risk, we do retain an outside consultant to review our hedging agreements. Inasmuch as interest rate hedges are not a fundamental part of our operations, we believe it is appropriate to exclude such gains and losses in calculating MFFO, as such gains and losses are not reflective of ongoing operations.

Each of FFO, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses, and MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), nor or income (loss) from continuing operations under GAAP, or as an indication of our liquidity, nor is eitherare any of these measures indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to fund distributions. In particular, as we are currently in the

acquisition phase of our life cycle, acquisition-related costs and other adjustments that are increases to FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO are, and may continue to be, a significant use of cash. MFFO has limitations as a performance measure in an offering such as ours where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value and there is no net asset value determination during the offering stage and for a period thereafter. Additionally, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate our business plan in the manner currently contemplated. Accordingly, both FFO, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses, and MFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements. FFO, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses, and MFFO should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than our net income or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our FFO, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses, and MFFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.


Neither NAREIT nor any regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses or MFFO. In the future, industry standards or regulations may cause us to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses or MFFO.

The following section presents our calculation of FFO, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses, and MFFO and provides additional information related to our operations (in thousands, except per share amounts).operations. As a result of the timing of the commencement of our initial public offering and our active real estate operations, FFO, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses, and MFFO are not relevant to a discussion comparing operations for the two periods presented. We expect revenues

Critical Accounting Policies

Below is a discussion of our critical accounting policies. Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. We consider these policies critical because they involve significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

Real Estate Assets

Depreciation and Amortization. Investments in real estate are carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Third-party acquisitionsacquisition costs are expensed as incurred. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred, and significant replacements and betterments will beare capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs

52



include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate asset. We consider the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. Costs directly associated with the development of land and those incurred during construction will be capitalized as part of the investment basis. We anticipate the estimated useful lives of our assets by class to be generally as follows:

Buildings30 years
Building improvements30 years
Land improvements15 years
Tenant improvementsShorter of lease term or expected useful life

Real Estate Acquisition Accounting.In accordance with Statement of ASC 805,Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), we record real estate, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, at fair value. We allocate the cost of an acquisition to the acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities based on their estimated acquisition-date fair values. In addition, ASC 805

requires that acquisition costs be expensed as incurred and restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date.

Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated value of the net cash flows of the in-place leases to be realized, as compared to the net cash flows that would have occurred had the property been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up. Acquired in-place lease value is amortized to expense over the average remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective in-place leases.

We assess the acquisition-date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis)analysis and replacement cost) and that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it was vacant.

We record above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. We amortize any recorded above-market or below-market lease values as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective lease.  We also include fixed rate renewal options in our calculation of the fair value of both above- and below-market leases and the periods over which such leases are amortized.  If a tenant has a unilateral option to renew a below-market lease, not including renewals.

we include such an option in the calculation of the fair value of such lease and the period over which the lease is amortized if we determine that the tenant has a financial incentive to exercise such option.

Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated value of the net cash flows of the in-place leases to be realized, as compared to the net cash flows that would have occurred had the property been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up.  Acquired in-place lease value is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the average remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective in-place leases.
We will estimate the value of tenant origination and absorption costs by considering the estimated carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, considering current market conditions. In estimating carrying costs, management will includeincludes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods.

We will amortize the value of in-place leases to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining average non-cancelable term of the respective leases.

Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities will require us to estimate market lease rates, property-operatingproperty operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect valuation of our acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of our net income.

Impairment of Real Estate and Related Intangible Assets. We will monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of our real estate and related intangible assets may be impaired. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying value of real estate and related intangible assets may be greater than fair value, we will assess the recoverability, considering recent operating results, expected net operating cash flow, and plans for future operations. If, based on this analysis of undiscounted cash flows, we do not believe that we will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets, we would record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate and related intangible assets as defined by ASC 360,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived AssetsProperty, Plant, and Equipment. Particular examples of events and changes in circumstances that could indicate potential impairments are: significant decreases in occupancy, rental income, operating income and market values.

Revenue Recognition

We will recognize minimum rent, including rental abatements and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the termterms of the related leaseleases, and we will include amounts expected to be received in later years in deferred rents.rents receivable. Our policy for percentage rental income is to defer recognition of contingent rental income until the specified target (i.e., breakpoint) that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. We will record property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs in the period the related expenses are incurred. We will make certain assumptions and judgments in estimating the reimbursements at the end of each reporting period. We do not expect the actual results to differ from the estimated reimbursement.

We will make estimates of the collectability of our tenant receivables related to base rents, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. We will specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, we will make estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectability of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income because a higher bad debt reserve results in less net income.

Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate tax and operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the period in which the applicable expenses are incurred. We make certain assumptions and judgments in estimating the reimbursements at the end of each reporting period. We do not expect the actual results to materially differ from the estimated reimbursements.
We record lease termination income if there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant is no longer occupying the property. Upon early lease termination, we provide for losses related to unrecovered intangibles and other assets.
We will recognize gains on sales of real estate pursuant to the provisions of ASC 605-976,Accounting for Sales of Real Estate (“ASC 605-976”). The specific timing of a sale will be measured against various criteria in ASC 605-976 related to the terms of the

transaction and any continuing involvement associated with the property. If the criteria for profit recognition under the full-accrual method are not met, we will defer gain recognition and account for the continued operations of the property by applying the percentage-of-completion, reduced profit, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate, until the appropriate criteria are met.

Interest income from loans receivable

Class B Units
Effective October 1, 2012, the Advisor and Sub-advisor are no longer entitled to the payment of asset management fees in cash under the A&R Advisory Agreement.  Instead, we issue to the Advisor and Sub-advisor units of the Operating Partnership designated as “Class B units” in connection with the asset management services provided by the Advisor and Sub-advisor.
The Class B units will vest, and will no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as all of the following events occur: (x) the value of the Operating Partnership’s assets plus all distributions made equals or exceeds the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return thereon (the “economic hurdle”); (y) any one of the following occurs: (1) the termination of the A&R Advisory Agreement by an affirmative vote of a majority of our independent directors without cause; (2) a listing event; or (3) another liquidity event; and (z) the Advisor is still providing advisory services to us (the “service condition”). Such Class B units will be forfeited immediately if: (a) the A&R Advisory Agreement is terminated for cause; or (b) the A&R Advisory Agreement is terminated by an affirmative vote of a majority of our independent directors without cause before the economic hurdle has been met.

We have concluded that the Advisor's and Sub-advisor’s performance under the A&R Advisory Agreement and the Fourth Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreement is not complete until they have served as the Advisor and Sub-advisor through the date of a Liquidity Event because, prior to such date, the Class B units are subject to forfeiture by the Advisor and Sub-advisor.  Additionally, the Advisor and Sub-advisor have no incentive for performance under these agreements other than the possible forfeiture of Class B units, which is not a sufficiently large incentive for continued performance and, accordingly, no performance commitment exists. As a result, we have concluded the measurement date occurs when a Liquidity Event has occurred and the Advisor and Sub-advisor have continued to provide advisory services through such date.
The Class B units have both a market condition and a service condition up to and through a Liquidity Event. As a result, the vesting of Class B units occurs only upon completion of both the market condition and service condition.  The satisfaction of

the market or service condition is not probable, and therefore, no compensation will be recognized based onunless the contractual termsmarket condition or service condition becomes probable. 
Because the Advisor and Sub-advisor can be terminated without cause before a Liquidity Event occurs, and at such time the market condition and service condition may not be satisfied, the Class B units may be forfeited.  Additionally, if the market condition and service condition had been satisfied and a Liquidity Event had not occurred, the Advisor and Sub-advisor could not control the Liquidity Event because each of the debt instrument utilizingaforementioned events that represent a Liquidity Event must be approved unanimously by our independent directors. As a result, we have concluded that the effective interest method. Underservice condition is not probable because of each party's ability to terminate the effective interest method, interest expense is recognizedA&R Advisory Agreement at a constant yield basedany time without cause.

Based on the increasing or decreasing carrying valueour conclusion of the loans. The total interestmarket condition and service condition not being probable, the Class B Units will be treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the market condition, service condition and Liquidity Event have been achieved.  However, as the Class B Units are deemed to be participating securities, the distributions paid to the Advisor and Sub-advisor will be treated as compensation expense. This expense for each period iswill be calculated as the carrying valueproduct of the loansnumber of unvested units issued to date and the stated distribution rate at the start of the period multiplied by the effective interest rate. The amount of amortization of the loan discount or premiumtime such distribution is the difference between the effective interest expense for the period and the accrued stated interest. As the carrying amount changes each period by the amount of amortized discount or premium, interest expense either increases (for discounts) or decreases (for premiums) over the life of the loans. Fees related to any buydown of the interest rate will be deferred as prepaid interest income and amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income. Closing costs related to the purchase of a loan receivable will be amortized over the term of the loan and accreted as an adjustment against interest income.

In February 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to disclose pro forma revenue and earningspresent significant amounts reclassified out of the combinedaccumulated other comprehensive income by respective line items of net income if it is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-04,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 clarifies some existing concepts, eliminates wording differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and in some limited cases, changes some principles to achieve convergence between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs.

As

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We hedge a portion of December 31, 2011, we had approximately $46.8 million of variable rate debt outstanding. In the future, we may choose to hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations through the utilization of derivative financial instruments, such asan interest rate swaps,swap in order to mitigate the risk of this exposure. We do not intend to enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Our hedging decisions will beare determined based upon the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge and may differ from our currently anticipated hedging strategy. IfBecause we use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we will beare exposed to both credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We will seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.

As of December 31, 2011,2013, we have not electedwere party to an interest rate swap agreement that would effectually fix the variable interest rates for this debt through the utilizationrate on up to $50.0 million of derivative financial instruments and as a result, we are subject to the potential impact of rising interest rates which could negatively impact our profitability and cash flows.

The table below shows our debt maturities and the interest rates associated with those maturities asunsecured credit facility at 2.10%. As of December 31, 2011.

As the information presented above includes only those exposures that exist as of December 31, 2011,2013, it does not consider those exposures or positions whichthat could arise after that date. Hence, the information represented herein has limited

We do not have any foreign operations, and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

Management’s Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods in SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer and effected by our management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:


56



pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of our assets;

provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or members of the board of directors; and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls, material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes and conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies may deteriorate. Accordingly, even internal controls determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and represented within the time periods required.

Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2011.2013. To make this assessment, we used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, our management believes that our system of internal control over financial reporting met those criteria, and therefore our management has concluded that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Phillips Edison—ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc.

Cincinnati, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Phillips Edison—ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the period from December 3, 2009 (formation) to December 31, 2009.2013. Our audits for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Phillips Edison – ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20112013 and 2010,2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the period from December 3, 2009 (formation) to December 31, 2009,2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include our accounts and the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (over which the Company exerciseswe exercise financial

and operating control). The financial statements of the Operating Partnership are prepared using accounting policies consistent with the Company.our accounting policies. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Basis of Presentation—During June 2011, the Company completed its analysis of the fair value allocation for the acquisition of Lakeside Plaza based on obtaining additional appraisal information. As a result of the change in allocation for this acquisition, there was no material impact to the statement of operations. The revised allocations of the fair value of this center have been retrospectively reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

Partially Owned EntitiesIf the Company determineswe determine that it iswe are an owner in a variable-interest entity (“VIE”), and it holdswe hold a controlling financial interest, then itwe will consolidate the entity as the primary beneficiary. For a partially-owned entitiesentity determined not to be a VIE, the Company analyzeswe analyze rights held by each partner to determine which would be the consolidating party. The CompanyWe will generally consolidate entities (in the absence of other factors when determining control) when it haswe have over a 50% ownership interest in the entity. The CompanyWe will assess itsour interests in VIEs on an ongoing basis to determine whether or not it iswe are the primary beneficiary. However, the Companywe will also evaluate who controls the entity even in circumstances in which it haswe have greater than a 50% ownership interest. If the Company doeswe do not control the entity due to the lack of decision-making abilities, itwe will not consolidate the entity.

The Company performed an analysisUpon formation of the assets held through the Joint Venture, in accordance withASC 810 – Consolidations. Based upon this analysis the Company haswe determined the Joint Venture should be consolidated into the Company’sour consolidated financial statements. As a result of the contribution of the assets to the Joint Venture during the year ended December 31, 2011, there was a difference of $1.0$1.0 million in between the net book value of the contributed assets and the agreed upon contributionfair value of the contributed assets. In accordance with GAAPaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the difference arising from the contribution to the Joint Venture was not recognized as a gain on sale in the Consolidated Statementsconsolidated statements of Operations,operations, rather it was treated as a reallocation of equity to the Company’s shareholdersour stockholders from the Non-Controlling Interests.CBRE Investors. On December 31, 2013, we acquired the 46% interest in the Joint Venture previously owned by the CBRE Investors. As a result, we owned 100% of the Joint Venture as of December 31, 2013.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to the useful lives of assets; recoverable amounts of receivables; and initial valuations of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to property acquisitions.acquisitions; and the valuation and nature of derivatives and their effectiveness as hedges. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considersWe consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may include cash and short-term investments. Short termShort-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value and may consist of investments in money market accounts. The cash and cash equivalent balances at one or more of our financial institutions exceeds the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance coverage.

Organizational and Offering Costs—The Sub-advisor has paid offering expenses on the Company’sour behalf. The Company willWe reimburse on a monthly basis the Sub-advisor for these costs and future offering costs it, the Advisor, or any of their respective affiliates may incur on the Company’sour behalf but only to the extent that the reimbursement would not exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds over the life of the offering or cause the selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and the other organization and offering expenses borne by the Companyus to exceed 15.0% of gross offering proceeds as of the date of the reimbursement. These offering expenses include all expenses (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) to be paid by the Companyus in connection with the offering, including legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, charges of the escrow holder and transfer agent, reimbursement to the Advisor and Sub-advisor for the Company’sour portion of the salaries and related employment costs of the Advisor’s and Sub-advisor’s employees who provide services to the Companyus (excluding costs related to employees who provide services for which the Advisor or Sub-advisor, as applicable, receive acquisition or disposition fees), reimbursement to Realty Capital Securities, LLC, the dealer manager (“the Dealer Manager”), for amounts it may pay to reimburse the bona fide due diligence expenses of broker-dealers, costs in connection with preparing supplemental sales materials, the Company’sour costs of conducting bona fide training and education meetings (primarily the travel, meal and lodging costs of theour non-registered officers of the Company and the non-registered officers of the Advisor and Sub-advisor to attend such meetings,meetings), and cost reimbursement for non-registered employees of the company’sour affiliates to attend retail seminars conducted by broker-dealers. These offering costs include travel services provided to the Advisor or Sub-advisor by a related party of one or more of the sponsors. Costs associated with the offering are charged against the gross proceeds of the offering.  As of December 31, 2011, the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates have paid approximately $7.1 million of offering costs. Under the terms of the advisory agreement, the Company is to reimburse on a monthly basis the Advisor, the Sub-advisor or their respective affiliates for cumulative offeringOrganizational costs and future offering costs they may incur on the Company’s behalf, but only to the extent that the reimbursement would not exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds over the life of the Company’s offering. The Company owes the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates approximately $7.1 million for organization and offering costsare expensed as of December 31, 2011. In addition, $2.0 million of offering costs incurred by the Sub-advisor on the Company’s behalf has not been charged to the Company or been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Whether these costs will be billed to the Company in the future is at the discretion of the Sub-advisor and will likely depend on the success of the Company’s offering.incurred.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company owed the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates approximately $4.8 million for organization and offering costs.

Investment Property and Lease Intangibles—Real estate assets we have acquired by the Company are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for computing depreciation are generally 5-75-7 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment, 15 years for land improvements and 30 years for buildings and building improvements. Tenant improvements are amortized over the shorter of the respective lease term or the expected useful life of the asset. Major replacements that extend the useful lifelives of the assets are capitalized, and maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Real estate assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the individual property may not be recoverable. In such an event, a comparison will be made of the projected operating cash flows of each property on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. Such carrying amount would be adjusted, if necessary, to estimated fair values to reflect impairment in the value of the asset. The CompanyWe recorded no impairments for the years ended December 31, 20112013, 2012, and 2010.

Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition method and, accordingly, the2011.

The results of operations of acquired properties are included in the Company’sour results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition. EstimatesWe assess the acquisition-date fair values of future cash flowsall tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and other valuation techniques that the Company believes areassumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis and replacement cost) and that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are used to allocatebased on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the purchase pricevalue of each identifiable asset acquired and liabilities assumed suchthe property as land, buildings and improvements, equipment and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, such as amounts related to in-place leases, acquired above- and below-market leases, tenant relationships, asset retirement obligations, mortgage notes payable and any goodwill or gain on purchase. Acquisition relatedif it was vacant. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Values
The fair values of buildings and improvements are determined on an as if vacantas-if-vacant basis.

The estimated fair value of acquired in-place leases is the costs the Companycost we would have incurred to lease the properties to the occupancy level of the properties at the date of acquisition. Such estimates include leasing commissions, legal costs and other direct costs that would be incurred to lease the properties to such occupancy levels. Additionally, the Company evaluateswe evaluate the time period over which such occupancy levels would be achieved. Such evaluation includes an estimate of the net market-based rental revenues and net operating costs (primarily consisting of real estate taxes, insurance and utilities) that would be incurred during the lease-up period. Acquired in-place leases as of the date of acquisition are amortized over the remaining lease terms.

Acquired above- and below-market lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest raterates that reflectsreflect the risks associated with the leaseleases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and management’s estimate of the market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases. The capitalized above- and below-market lease values are amortized as adjustments to rental revenueincome over the remaining terms of the respective leases.  Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value is charged to amortization expense and the unamortized portion of above- and below-market lease value is charged to rental revenue.

Acquired above- and below-market ground lease values are recorded based on the difference between the present values (using an interestWe also consider fixed rate that reflects the risks associated with the lease acquired) of the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the ground leases and management’s estimaterenewal options in our calculation of the fair value of land underbelow-market leases and the ground leases. The capitalized above- andperiods over which such leases are amortized.  If a tenant has a unilateral option to renew a below-market lease values will be amortized as adjustmentsand we determine that the tenant has a financial incentive to groundexercise such option, we include such an option in the calculation of the fair value of such lease expenseand the period over which the lease term.

Management will estimateestimates the fair value of assumed mortgage notes payable based upon indications of then-current market pricing for similar types of debt with similar maturities. Assumed mortgage notes payable will beare initially recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and the difference between such estimated fair value and the note’s outstanding principal balance will beis amortized over the life of the mortgage note payable as an adjustment to interest expense.


Deferred Financing Costs—Deferred financing costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related financing arrangement, which approximates the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs incurred during the years ended December 31, 20112013, 2012, and 2010,2011, respectively, were approximately $561,000$10.4 million, $2.9 million, and $241,000. Of this amount, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, $180,000 and $110,000 was incurred as a result of the financing fee due to the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates.$0.6 million. Amortization of deferred financing costs for the years ended December 31, 20112013, 2012, and 2010,2011, respectively, was $193,000$1.9 million, $0.6 million, and $10,000$0.2 million and was recorded in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.operations and comprehensive loss.


Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—We may use derivative instruments to manage exposure to variable interest rate risk. We generally enter into interest rate swaps to manage such risk. We enter into derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges, and we do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense as interest is incurred on the related variable rate debt. Our cash flow hedges become ineffective if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt instrument do not perfectly match, such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, the calculation period and the LIBOR rate. When ineffectiveness exists, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recognized in earnings in the period affected. In addition, we evaluate the default risk of the counterparty by monitoring the credit worthiness of the counterparty. Derivative instruments and hedging activities require management to make judgments on the nature of its derivatives and their effectiveness as hedges. These judgments determine if the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a component of net loss or as a component of comprehensive income and as a

F-9


component of stockholders' equity on the consolidated balance sheets. Although management believes its judgments are reasonable, a change in a derivative's effectiveness as a hedge could materially affect expenses, net income and equity.
Revenue RecognitionThe Company commencesWe commence revenue recognition on itsour leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. If the Company iswe are the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space, and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete.

If the Company concludeswe conclude that it iswe are not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives, which reducesreduce revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these circumstances, the Company beginswe begin revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct their own improvements. The Company considersWe consider a number of different factors to evaluatein evaluating whether itwe or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. These factors include:

whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;

whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements;

the uniqueness of the improvements;

the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease; and

who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements.

The Company recognizes

We recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts receivable. Due to the impact of the straight-line basis, rental income generally will be greater than the cash collected in the early years and decreaseswill be less than the cash collected in the later years of a lease. The Company’sOur policy for percentage rental income is to defer recognition of contingent rental income until the specified target (i.e. breakpoint) that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. The CompanyWe periodically reviewsreview the collectability of outstanding receivables. Allowances will be taken for those balances that the Company deemswe deem to be uncollectible, including any amounts relating to straight-line rent receivables.

Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate tax and operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the period in which the applicable expenses are incurred. The Company makesWe make certain assumptions and judgments in estimating the reimbursements at the end of each reporting period. The Company doesWe do not expect the actual results to materially differ from the estimated reimbursement.

The Company recordsreimbursements.


We record lease termination income if there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant is no longer occupying the property. Upon early lease termination, the Company provideswe provide for losses related to unrecovered tenant-specific intangibles and other assets.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized straight-line rental income of $79,000 and $0, respectively.

Income TaxesThe Company hasWe have elected to be taxed as a REITreal estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010. The Company’s. Our qualification and taxation as a REIT depends on itsour ability, on a continuing basis, to meet certain organizational and operational qualification requirements imposed upon REITs by the Code. If the Company failswe fail to qualify as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year, itwe will be subject to tax on itsour taxable income at regular corporate rates. The CompanyWe would not be able to deduct distributions paid to stockholders in any year in which it failswe fail to qualify as a REIT. The CompanyWe will also be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost unless the Company iswe are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income, property or net worth, respectively, and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. Additionally, GAAP prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. A tax position may only be recognized in the consolidated financial statements if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. We believe it is more likely than not that our tax positions will be sustained in any tax examinations.

Repurchase of Common StockThe Company offersWe offer a share repurchase program which may allow certain stockholders to have their shares repurchased subject to approval and certain limitations and restrictions (see Note 3). The Company accountsWe account for those financial instruments that represent aour mandatory obligation of the Company to repurchase shares as liabilities to be reported at settlement value. At such time, the CompanyWhen shares are presented for repurchase, we will reclassify such obligations from equity to a liability based upon their respective

F-10


settlement values. As of December 31, 2011 and2013, we recorded a liability of $76,000 representing our obligation to repurchase 8,072 shares of common stock submitted for repurchase, but not yet repurchased as of such date. As of December 31, 2010,2012, no such obligationsobligation existed.

Restricted Cash—Restricted cash primarily consisted of escrowed insurance premiums,tenant improvement funds, real estate taxes, capital improvement funds, insurance premiums, and investor proceeds for which sharesother amounts required to be escrowed pursuant to loan agreements of common stock had not been issued of $214,000$4.9 million and $11,000$1.1 million as of December 31, 20112013 and 2012, respectively.

Investments—At December 31, 2010, respectively.2013, the Company had an investment of $5.0 million in various 26-week certificates of deposit ("CDs"). The CDs are classified as held to maturity and included in restricted cash and investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at cost.

Class B Units—Effective October 1, 2012, the Advisor and Sub-advisor are no longer entitled to the payment of asset management fees in cash under the advisory and sub-advisory agreements.  Instead, we issue to the Advisor and Sub-advisor units of the Operating Partnership designated as “Class B units” in connection with the asset management services provided by the Advisor and Sub-advisor.
The Class B units will vest, and will no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as all of the following events occur: (x) the value of the Operating Partnership’s assets plus all distributions made equals or exceeds the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return thereon (the “economic hurdle”); (y) any one of the following occurs: (1) the termination of the advisory agreement by an affirmative vote of a majority of our independent directors without cause; (2) a listing event; or (3) another liquidity event; and (z) the Advisor is still providing advisory services to us (the “service condition”). Such Class B units will be forfeited immediately if: (a) the advisory agreement is terminated for cause; or (b) the advisory agreement is terminated by an affirmative vote of a majority of our independent directors without cause before the economic hurdle has been met.
We have concluded that the Advisor and Sub-advisor’s performance under the advisory agreement and the sub-advisory agreement is not complete until they have served as the Advisor and Sub-advisor through the date of a liquidity event because, prior to such date, the Class B units are subject to forfeiture by the Advisor and Sub-advisor.  Additionally, the Advisor and Sub-advisor have no incentive for performance under these agreements other than the forfeiture of Class B units, which is not a sufficiently large incentive for continued performance and, accordingly, no performance commitment exists. As a result, we have concluded the measurement date occurs when a liquidity event has occurred and the Advisor and Sub-advisor have continued to provide advisory services through such date.
The Class B units have both a market condition and a service condition up to and through a liquidity event. As a result, the vesting of Class B units occurs only upon completion of both the market condition and service condition.  The satisfaction of the market or service condition is not probable, and therefore, no compensation will be recognized unless the market condition or service condition becomes probable.
Because the Advisor and Sub-advisor can be terminated without cause before a liquidity event occurs and at such time the market condition and service condition may not be satisfied, the Class B units may be forfeited.  Additionally, if the market condition and service condition had been satisfied and a liquidity event had not occurred, the Advisor and Sub-advisor could not control the liquidity event because each of the aforementioned events that represent a liquidity event must be approved unanimously by our independent directors. As a result, we have concluded that the service condition is not probable because of each party's ability to terminate the A&R Advisory Agreement at any time without cause.
Based on our conclusion of the market condition and service condition not being probable, the Class B Units are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the market condition, service condition and liquidity event have been achieved.  However, as the Class B Units are deemed to be participating securities, the distributions paid to the Advisor and Sub-advisor are treated as compensation expense. This expense is calculated as the product of the number of unvested units issued to date and the stated distribution rate, which is same rate used for the distributions paid to our common stockholders, at the time such distribution is authorized.

Earnings Per Share—Earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted averageweighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income per share considers the effect of any potentially dilutive share equivalents of which the Company had none for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011.


F-11


There were 532,381, zero and zero Class B units of the Operating Partnership outstanding and held by the Advisor and the Sub-advisor as of December, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and 2010.respectively, that were excluded from diluted net loss per share computations as their effect would have been antidilutive.

The CompanyWe internally evaluatesevaluate the operating performance of itsour portfolio of properties and doesdo not differentiate properties by geography, size or type. Each of the Company’sour investment properties is considered a separate operating segment, and as each property earns revenue and incurs expenses, individual operating results are reviewed and discrete financial information is available. However, the Company’s properties are aggregated into one reportable segment as they have similar economic characteristics, we provide similar services to the Company evaluatestenants at each of our properties, and we evaluate the aggregatecollective performance of theour properties.

The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to provide information about the Company.

Effectiveamounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by respective line items of net income if it is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety. For other reclassified amounts, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-02 were effective for us on January 1, 2011, public companies that enter into2013, and are to be applied prospectively.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-04,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 clarifies some existing concepts, eliminates wording differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and in some limited cases, changes some principles to achieve convergence between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for the Company for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-04 to have a material effect on its operating results or financial position.this pronouncement, we addressed the required disclosures in Note 10, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company has2013, we had issued 2,658,159175,689,995 shares of common stock including 16,647 shares issued through the DRP, generating gross cash proceeds of $25.4 million. $1.74 billion. As of December 31, 2013, there were 175,594,613 shares of our common stock outstanding which is net of 95,382 shares repurchased from stockholders pursuant to our share repurchase program, and we had issued no shares of preferred stock. The holders of shares of the common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including election of the board of directors. The Company’s Our charter does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Dividend Reinvestment PlanThe Company hasWe have adopted the DRP whichthat allows stockholders to have dividends and other distributions invested in additional shares of itsour common stock at a price equal to $9.50$9.50 per share. Stockholders who elect to participate in the DRP, and who are subject to U.S. federal income taxation laws, will incur a tax liability on an amount equal to the fair value on the relevant distribution date of the shares of the Company’sour common stock purchased with reinvested distributions, even though such stockholders have elected not to receive the distributions used to purchase those shares of common stock in cash.

During  Distributions reinvested through the yearDRP for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, there were 16,647 shares, or $158,000, issued through the DRP. There were no shares reinvested during the year ended December 31, 2010.

$18.7 million, $1.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.


Share Repurchase ProgramThe Company’sOur share repurchase program (“SRP”) may provide a limited opportunity for stockholders to have shares of common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, at a price equal to or at a discount from the purchase price paid for the shares being repurchased.

The discount will vary based upon the length of time that the shares of the Company’s common stock subject to repurchase have been held. Unless the shares are being repurchased in connection with a stockholder’s death or “qualifying disability”, the prices at which the Company will repurchase shares are as follows:

The lower of $9.25 and 92.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares for stockholders who have held their shares for at least one year;

The lower of $9.50 and 95.0% of the price paid to acquire the shares for stockholders who have held their shares for at least two years;

The lower of $9.75 and 97.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares for stockholders who have held their shares for at least three years; and

The lower of $10.00 and 100% of the price paid to acquire the shares for stockholders who have held their shares for at least four years.

Notwithstanding the above, once the Company establishes an estimated value per share of its common stock that is not based on the price to acquire a share in the primary offering or a follow-on public or private offering, the repurchase price per share for all stockholders would be equal to the estimated value per share, as determined by the Advisor or another firm chosen for that purpose.

Repurchase of shares of common stock will be made monthly upon

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(“Measurement (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement.

Fair value is defined by ASC 820 as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company haswe have the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3—Unobservable inputs, only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect the Company’sour assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.

The following describes the methods the Company useswe use to estimate the fair value of the Company’sour financial and non-financial assets and liabilities:

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments, accounts receivable, andprepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expensesThe Company considersWe consider the carrying values of these financial instruments to approximate fair value because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization.

Real estate investments—The purchase prices of the investment properties, including related lease intangible assets and liabilities, were allocated at estimated fair value based on Level 3 inputs, such as discount rates, capitalization rates, comparable sales, replacement costs, income and expense growth rates and current marketsmarket rents and allowances from managementas determined by management.
Mortgages and third party appraisal.

Mortgages loans payable and Notes payable—affiliates Management believesWe estimate the carrying amounts approximate fair value of our debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by our lenders using Level 3 inputs.  The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity and considering the debt's collateral (if applicable). Such discount rate was 4.50% for secured fixed rate debt as of December 31, 2013.  Such discount rates were 2.70% for variable rate debt and 4.25% for fixed rate debt as of December 31, 2012. We have utilized market information as available or present value techniques to


F-13


estimate the amounts required to be disclosed.  The fair values and recorded values of our borrowings as of December 31, 2013, were $201.4 million and $200.9 million, respectively. The fair values and recorded values of our borrowings as of December 31, 2012, were $158.7 million and $159.0 million, respectively.

Derivative instruments—As of December 31, 2013, we are a party to one interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $50.0 million that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The interest rate swap agreement effectually fixes the variable interest rate of a $50.0 million portion of our unsecured credit facility at 2.10% through December 2017.

The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is based on the estimated amount we would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the reporting date and is determined using interest rate pricing models and interest rate related observable inputs. The fair value of our interest rate swap at December 31, 2013 was an asset of $0.8 million. Although we have determined that the significant inputs used to value our derivative fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our counterparties and our own credit risk utilize Level 3 inputs, such as market interest rates available,estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of December 31, 20112013, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative position and 2010.have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivative. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.


Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Companywe could realize on disposition of the financial assets and liabilities.


A summary of our financial asset that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy is as follows (in thousands):

During June 2011, the Company completed its analysis of the fair value allocation for the acquisition of Lakeside Plaza based on obtaining additional appraisal information. As a results of the change in allocation for this acquisition, there was no material impact to the statement of operations. Below are the initial and revised allocations of the fair value of this center which have been retrospectively reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, in accordance with GAAP:

10. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

We are exposed to certain risk arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage our exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash receipts and our known or expected cash payments principally related to our investments and borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for our making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.


F-18


10.The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During 2013, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with certain variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in other income, net, on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded a loss of $48,000 of hedge ineffectiveness in earnings attributable to a notional mismatch between the debt and derivative.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. We estimate that an additional $0.2 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense over the next 12 months. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we accelerated the reclassification of amounts in other comprehensive income to earnings as a result of the hedged forecasted transactions becoming probable not to occur. The accelerated amounts were a loss of $6,000.

Tabular Disclosure of the Effect of Derivative Instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss

The table below presents the effect of our derivative financial instruments on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 (in thousands). We had no derivative financial instruments in 2012.
  Year Ended

Amount of gain (loss) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense (57)
Amount of loss recognized in income on derivative (ineffective portion, reclassifications of missed forecasted  
transactions and amounts excluded from effectiveness testing) (48)

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

We have an agreement with our derivative counterparty that contains a provision where if we either default or are capable of being declared in default on any of our indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.

As of December 31, 2013, the derivative is not in a liability position, and we have not posted any collateral related to this agreement nor were we in breach of any agreement provisions.
