CHAMBERS STREET PROPERTIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited)
1. Organization and Nature of Business
Chambers Street Properties, formerly known as CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust, was formed on March 30, 2004 under the laws of the state of Maryland. Our operating partnership, CSP Operating Partnership, LP (“CSP OP”), formerly known as CBRE Operating Partnership, L.P., was formed in Delaware on March 30, 2004. We are CSP OP’s majority owner and sole general partner. We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), beginning with the taxable period ended December 31, 2004. We invest in real estate properties, focusing primarily on industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution/logistics) and office properties, as well as other real estate-related assets.
We operate in an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which CSP OP owns, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the properties acquired on our behalf. For each interest in our common shares that we issue, an equal interest in the limited partnership units of CSP OP is issued to us in exchange for the cash proceeds from the issuance of the interest in our common shares. We currently own approximately 99.90% of the common partnership units of CSP OP. CBRE REIT Holdings, LLC (“REIT Holdings”), an affiliate of our former investment advisor, holds the remaining interest in CSP OP through 246,361 limited partnership units representing approximately a 0.10% ownership of the total limited partnership units. In exchange for services provided to us relating to our formation and subsequent operations, REIT Holdings also owns a Class B limited partnership interest (“Class B interest”).
On July 1, 2004, we commenced operations and issued 6,844,313 common shares of beneficial interest in connection with our initial capitalization. In addition, REIT Holdings purchased 29,937 limited partnership units in CSP OP as a limited partner. During October 2004, we issued an additional 123,449 common shares of beneficial interest to an unrelated third-party investor. On October 24, 2006, we commenced an initial public offering of up to $2,000,000,000 of our common shares, and from October 24, 2006 (effective date) through January 29, 2009 (close) we accepted subscriptions from 13,270 investors, issued 60,808,967 common shares including 1,487,943 common shares issued pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan, and received $607,345,702 in gross proceeds. On January 30, 2009, we commenced a follow-on public offering of up to $3,000,000,000 of our common shares, and from January 30, 2009 (effective date) through January 30, 2012 (close) we accepted subscriptions from 49,990 investors, issued 190,672,251 common shares including 11,170,603 common shares issued pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan, and received $1,901,137,211 in gross proceeds. On February 3, 2012, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register 25,000,000 of our common shares for up to $237,500,000 pursuant to the amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan which we subsequently amended to reflect our name change from CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust to Chambers Street Properties.
Prior to July 1, 2012, all of our business activities were managed by CBRE Advisors LLC (the “former investment advisor”) pursuant to advisory agreements. The fourth amended and restated advisory agreement (the “Fourth Amended Advisory Agreement”) terminated according to its terms on June 30, 2012, and we transitioned to a self-managed company, in accordance with a plan determined by our Board of Trustees. Our executive officers are responsible for the management of our day-to-day operations, including the supervision of our employees and third-party service providers. Acquisitions and asset management activities are now performed by our employees, with certain services provided by third parties at market rates. In addition, effective July 1, 2012, we entered into a transitional services agreement (“Transitional Services Agreement”) with CSP OP and the former investment advisor pursuant to which the former investment advisor would, at our direction, provide certain operational and consulting services to us for a term which ended on April 30, 2013.
See Note 10—“Investment Management and Other Fees to Related Parties” for a discussion of the Transitional Services Agreement.
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules applicable to Form 10-Q and reflect all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. Certain information and footnotes required for annual financial statement presentation have been condensed or excluded pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (of the “SEC”) rules and regulations. Accordingly, our interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required under U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited)
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our current Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the latest available audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary in all material respects to present fairly our financial position, results of our operations and cash flows as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year.
Principles of Consolidation
Because we are the sole general partner and majority owner of CSP OP and have majority control over their management and major operating decisions, the accounts of CSP OP are consolidated in our financial statements. The interests of REIT Holdings are reflected in non-controlling interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. CBRE Global Investors, L.L.C. (“CBRE Global Investors”), an affiliate of the former investment advisor, also owns an interest in us through its ownership of 243,229 common shares of beneficial interest at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
We determine if an entity is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) based on several factors, including whether the entity’s total equity investment at risk upon inception is sufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. We make judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk based first on a qualitative analysis, then a quantitative analysis, if necessary. In a quantitative analysis, we incorporate various estimates, including estimated future cash flows, asset holding periods and discount rates, as well as estimates of the probabilities of the occurrence of various scenarios occurring. If the entity is a VIE, we then determine whether to consolidate the entity as the primary beneficiary. We determine whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether it should be consolidated by utilizing judgments and estimates that are inherently subjective. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates in these evaluations, it could result in differing conclusions as to whether or not an entity is a VIE and whether or not we consolidate such entity.
With respect to our majority limited membership interests in the Duke/Hulfish, LLC joint venture (the “Duke joint venture”), the Afton Ridge Joint Venture, LLC (“Afton Ridge”), the Goodman Princeton Holdings (Jersey) Limited joint venture (the “UK JV”) and the Goodman Princeton Holdings (LUX) SARL joint venture (the “European JV”), we considered the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic “Consolidation” (“FASB ASC 810”) in determining that we did not have control over the financial and operating decisions of such entities due to the existence of substantive participating rights held by the minority limited members who are also the managing members of the Duke joint venture and Afton Ridge, and the investment advisors/managers of the UK JV and the European JV, respectively. Additionally, we concluded that each of these entities was under the shared control of its’ limited members. The accounting policies applied by each of these entities are consistent with those applied by us.
We carry our investments in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, the Duke joint venture, Afton Ridge, the UK JV and the European JV using the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of each such entity. We eliminate transactions with such equity method entities to the extent of our ownership in each such entity. Accordingly, our share of net income (loss) of these equity method entities is included in consolidated net income (loss).
Our determination of the appropriate accounting method with respect to our investment in CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners Asia II-A, L.P. (“CBRE Strategic Partners Asia”), which is not considered a VIE, is partially based on CBRE Strategic Partners Asia’s sufficiency of equity investment at risk which was triggered by a substantial paydown during 2009 of its subscription line of credit, which is backed by investor capital commitments to fund its operations. We account for this investment under the equity method of accounting.
CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is a limited partnership that qualifies for specialized industry accounting for investment companies. Specialized industry accounting allows investment companies to carry their investments at fair value, with changes in the fair value of the investments recorded in the statement of operations. On the basis of the guidance in ASC 970-323, the Company accounts for its
7
CHAMBERS STREET PROPERTIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited)
investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia under the equity method. As a result, and in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-15 the specialized accounting treatment, principally the fair value basis applied by CBRE Strategic Partners Asia under the investment company guide, is retained in the recognition of equity method earnings in the statement of operations of the Company. See Note 16 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments” for further discussion of the application of the fair value accounting to our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia.
We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for indicators of impairment during each reporting period. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. If a property level impairment is recorded by an unconsolidated entity related to its assets, the Company’s proportionate share is reflected in the equity in loss from unconsolidated entities with a corresponding decrease to its investment in unconsolidated entities.
Additionally, the Company considers various qualitative factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. These factors include age of the venture, intent and ability for the Company to recover its investment in the entity, financial condition and long-term prospects of the entity and its underlying real estate assets, short-term liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity, trends in the economic environments or leasing markets where its real estate assets are located, overall projected returns on investment, and any defaults under contracts with third parties (including bank debt). If the Company believes that the decline in the fair value of the investment is temporary, then no impairment is recorded.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
In December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-17, “Consolidations” (“Topic 810”): “Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.” This ASU incorporates the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” issued by the FASB in June 2009. The amendments in this ASU replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a VIE with an approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance and (i) the obligation to absorb losses of such entity or (ii) the right to receive benefits from such entity. ASU 2009-17 also requires additional disclosures about a reporting entity’s involvement in VIE’s, which enhances the information provided to users of financial statements.
In October 2011, one of our consolidated subsidiaries, RT Atwater Holding, LLC, entered into a real estate development venture with a subsidiary of the Trammel Crow Company (“TCC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE Group, Inc., a former related party of ours, whereby we own 95% of the newly formed entity and TCC owns the remaining 5% of the entity. The new entity, RT/TC Atwater, LP (“Atwater”), was formed for the purpose of developing and then operating a build-to-suit suburban office and research facility for a single tenant that has agreed to a minimum lease term of 12 years starting from the completion of construction of the facility. Through the provisions of the Atwater, LP agreement, we and TCC collectively have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Atwater. Atwater was deemed a VIE and we were the entity within the related party group determined to be most closely associated with Atwater. We began to consolidate the entity at its inception in October 2011.
On February 16, 2012, we entered into a construction loan agreement with Atwater, a consolidated joint venture, to provide it with up to $49,575,000 of financing which was available for disbursements to fund construction expenditures at 1400 Atwater Drive. We received a $250,000 financing fee from the joint venture for providing this construction loan. The construction loan bore interest at 5.00% of amounts outstanding and was scheduled to mature on or before May 31, 2013, unless otherwise extended. This construction loan has been eliminated in the consolidation of Atwater for reporting purposes.
On January 30, 2013, upon substantial completion of the investment, we acquired 100% of TCC’s interest in Atwater. The cost of the acquisition was approximately $3,431,000 inclusive of the return of TCC’s original capital contribution of $826,000.
As of March 31, 2013, all of Atwater’s construction in progress and other assets, including the initial land acquisition, previously recorded to construction in progress and other assets—variable interest entity on the balance sheet, were recorded to investments in

real estate and intangible assets. See Note 3 “Acquisition of Real Estate” for a preliminary fair value determination update on this investment. The property commenced operations in January 2013.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Information
We currently operate our consolidated properties in two geographic areas, the United States and the United Kingdom. We view our consolidated property operations as three reportable segments, a Domestic Industrial segment, a Domestic Office segment and an International Office/Retail segment, which participate in the acquisition, development, ownership, and operation of high quality real estate in their respective segments.
Cash Equivalents
We consider short-term investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, cash equivalents consisted primarily of investments in money market funds.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents those cash accounts for which the use of funds is restricted by loan covenants. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our restricted cash balance was $14,786,000 and $10,998,000, respectively, which represents amounts set aside as impounds for future property tax payments, property insurance payments and tenant improvement payments as required by our agreements with our lenders.
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
All of our derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. We periodically review the effectiveness of each hedging transaction, which involves estimating future cash flows. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. Calculation of a fair value of derivative instruments also requires management to use estimates. Amounts will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. The changes in fair value hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities, with the corresponding amount recorded in current period earnings. We have certain interest rate swap derivatives that are designated as qualifying cash flow hedges and follow the accounting treatment discussed above. We also have certain interest rate swap derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, and accordingly, changes in fair values are recognized in current earnings.
We disclose the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. We also provide more information about our liquidity by disclosing derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, we cross-reference within these footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments (see Note 14 “Derivative Instruments” and Note 16 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments” for a further discussion of our derivative financial instruments).

Investments in Real Estate and Related Long Lived Assets (Impairment Evaluation)
Our investments in real estate are stated at depreciated cost. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows:
| | |
Buildings and Improvements | | 39 years |
Site Improvements | | 15 and 25 years |
Tenant Improvements | | Shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the related leases |
Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 99 and 82 real estate investments, respectively.
We assess whether there has been impairment in the value of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset group identified for step two testing is based on either the income approach with market discount rate, terminal capitalization rate and rental rate assumptions being most critical, or on the sales comparison approach to similar properties. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.
No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Other Assets
Other assets include the following as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2013 | | | December 31, 2012 | |
Prepaid insurance | | $ | 1,182 | | | $ | 1,790 | |
Prepaid real estate taxes | | | 820 | | | | 224 | |
Other | | | 2,596 | | | | 1,764 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 4,598 | | | $ | 3,778 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Concentration of Credit Risk
Our consolidated properties are located throughout the United States and in the United Kingdom. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory, and social factors affecting the communities in which the tenants operate. Our credit risk relates primarily to cash, restricted cash, and interest rate swap agreements. Cash accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 through December 31, 2013.
We have not experienced any losses to date on our invested cash and restricted cash. The interest rate swap agreements create credit risk. Credit risk arises from the potential failure of counterparties to perform in accordance with the terms of their contracts. Our risk management policies define parameters of acceptable market risk and limit exposure to credit risk. Credit exposure resulting from derivative financial instruments is represented by their fair value amounts, increased by an estimate of potential adverse position exposure arising from changes over time in interest rates, maturities, and other relevant factors. We do not anticipate nonperformance by any of our counterparties.
Non-Controlling Interest Operating Partnership Units
We owned a 99.90%, partnership interest in CSP OP as of March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The remaining 0.10% partnership interest as of March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively, was owned by REIT

CHAMBERS STREET PROPERTIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited)
Holdings in the form of 246,361 non-controlling operating partnership units which were exchangeable for cash or, at the Company’s discretion, on a one for one basis for common shares of the Company, with an estimated aggregate redemption value of $2,464,000.
With respect to the operating partnership units, FASB ASC 480-10 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity requires non-controlling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common shares at the option of the issuer to be further evaluated under the Codification Sub-Topic “Derivatives and Hedging—Conditions Necessary for Equity Classification” (“FASB ASC 815-40-25-10”) to determine whether permanent equity or temporary equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. Since the operating partnership units contain such a provision, we evaluated this guidance and determined that the operating partnership units do not meet the requirements to qualify for equity presentation. As a result, upon the adoption of FASB ASC 810 Consolidation and the related revisions to FASB ASC 480-10 the operating partnership units are presented in the temporary equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and reported at the higher of their proportionate share of the net assets of CBRE OP or fair value, with period to period changes in value reported as an adjustment to shareholder’s equity. Under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Agreement, the fair value of the operating partnership units is determined as an amount equal to the redemption value as defined therein.
Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate
We apply the acquisition method to all acquired real estate investments. The purchase consideration of the real estate is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, site improvements, building and tenant improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases, value of tenant relationships and acquired ground leases, based in each case on their fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market loans, will be recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is the basis for the purchase consideration allocated to land (or acquired ground lease if the land is subject to a ground lease), site improvements, building and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.
In allocating the purchase consideration of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which 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 fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease and, for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized below-market lease values, also referred to as acquired lease obligations, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial terms of the respective leases and any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a decrease to rental income over the initial terms of the prospective leases.
The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, is measured by the estimated cost of operations during a theoretical lease-up period to replace in-place leases, including lost revenues and any unreimbursed operating expenses, plus an estimate of deferred leasing commissions for in-place leases. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease value and tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value for the real estate acquired as such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for these particular acquisitions. Should future acquisitions of properties result in allocating material amounts to the value of tenant relationships, an amount would be separately allocated and amortized over the estimated life of the relationship. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written-off.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). In the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and swap fair value adjustments for qualifying hedges.
Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, to our shareholders and satisfy certain other organizational and operating requirements. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes if we distribute 100% of our net taxable income each year to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and to U.S. federal income taxes and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. Except where noted below, we believe that we have met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012. We intend to continue to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT qualification.
In order for distributions to be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes and count towards our distribution requirement, they must not be “preferential dividends.” A distribution will not be treated as preferential if it is pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class. Certain aspects of the operation of our dividend reinvestment plan prior to July 2009 may have violated the prohibition against preferential dividends, and to address those issues we entered into a closing agreement with the IRS in July 2011, whereby the IRS agreed that the terms and administration of our dividend reinvestment plan did not result in our dividends paid during taxable years 2007 through 2009 being treated as preferential dividends.
Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Receivables
All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is recorded as deferred rent. In connection with various leases, we have received irrevocable stand-by letters of credit totaling $17,745,000 and $17,760,000 as security for such leases at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Reimbursements from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable costs, are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis, when we are the primary obligor with respect to incurring expenses and with respect to having the credit risk.
Tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible current tenant receivables and deferred rent. Management’s determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, individual receivables, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The allowances are increased or decreased through the provision for bad debts. The allowance for uncollectible rent receivable was $728,000 and $11,000 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Offering Costs
Offering costs totaling $0 and $18,384,000 were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity. Offering costs incurred through March 31, 2013 totaled $237,676,000. Of the total amount, $217,959,000 was incurred to CNL Securities Corp., as the former dealer manager of our public offerings (the “former dealer manager”); $3,969,000 was incurred to CBRE Group, Inc., an affiliate of the former investment advisor; $912,000 was incurred to the former investment advisor for reimbursable marketing costs and $14,836,000

was incurred to other service providers. Each party was paid the amount incurred from proceeds of our follow-on public offering. All offering costs have been paid as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Deferred Financing Costs and Discounts or Premiums on Notes Payable
Direct costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are amortized over the respective term of the loan on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method.
Discounts or premiums on notes payable are amortized to interest expense based on the effective interest method.
Translation of Non-U.S. Currency Amounts
The financial statements and transactions of our United Kingdom real estate operation are recorded in their functional currency, namely the Great Britain Pound (“GBP”) and are then translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”).
Assets and liabilities of this operation are denominated in the functional currency and are then translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are reported in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss,” a component of Shareholders’ Equity.
The carrying value of our United Kingdom assets and liabilities fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rate between the USD and the GBP. The exchange rate of the USD to the GBP was $1.5204 and $1.6242 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The profit and loss weighted average exchange rate of the USD to the GBP was approximately $1.5742 and $1.5736 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The carrying value of our European assets and liabilities fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rate between the USD and the EUR. The exchange rate of the USD to the EUR was $1.2822 and $1.3189 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The profit and loss weighted average exchange rate of the USD to the EUR was approximately $1.3273 and $1.3116 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Class B Interest—Related Party
Effective July 1, 2004, REIT Holdings, an affiliate of the former investment advisor, was granted a Class B interest in CSP OP. The Class B interest is an equity instrument that was issued in exchange for services provided to us relating to our formation and subsequent operations. The holder is entitled to receive distributions made by CSP OP in an amount equal to 15% of all net sales proceeds on dispositions of properties or other assets (including by liquidation, merger or otherwise) after the other partners, including us, have received in the aggregate, cumulative distributions from property income, sales proceeds or other services equal to (i) the total capital contributions made to CSP OP and (ii) a 7% annual, uncompounded return on such capital contributions.
Effective May 1, 2012, we entered into the Third Amended Partnership Agreement which revised the redemption rights of the Class B interest. Accordingly, the Class B interest may be redeemed upon the earliest to occur of (i) the exercise by the holder of the Class B interest of its right to require CSP OP to redeem its interest, which right continues for five years from the date of the agreement, (ii) the fifth anniversary of the date of the agreement, (iii) certain other liquidity events, (iv) a merger or sale transaction (a “Merger or Sale”), or (v) our common shares becoming listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange or designated for quotation on the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global Market (a “Listing”). CSP OP may reject a redemption and institute a blackout period with respect to redemptions upon the determination by our Board of Trustees that an appraisal process would not be in the best interest of CSP OP at the time of the proposed redemption. A blackout period may only be imposed as the result of a potential Merger or Sale or potential Listing. The consideration received for the redemption of the Class B interest will depend upon the event triggering the redemption. In the event of a redemption in connection with (a) a Listing, the consideration will be determined based on the market value of our shares for a 30 day period beginning 150 days after the Listing, or (b) a Merger or Sale, the consideration will be determined based on our aggregate share value in the transaction. In the event of a redemption as a result of (a) the exercise by the holder of the Class B interest of its redemption right, (b) the fifth anniversary of the date of the agreement or (c) certain other liquidity events, consideration will be determined based on an appraisal process. If we list our common shares, we will be required to redeem the Class B interest at the time prescribed, and at an amount calculated, in accordance with the partnership agreement of CSP OP. As a

result, future changes in the fair value of the Class B interest will be deferred from recognition in the financial statements until a Listing or Merger or Sale transaction takes place.
As a result of the modification of the terms of the Class B interest pursuant to the Third Amended Partnership Agreement, it was no longer required that the Class B interest be redeemed or forfeited upon a termination of the former investment advisor as investment advisor to the Company. Consequently, we recognized an expense of $200,000 during the year ended December 31, 2012 for the current economic fair value resulting from the modification of the terms of the Class B interest.
With respect to the Class B interest in CSP OP, FASB ASC 480-10 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” requires non-controlling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common shares at the option of the issuer to be further evaluated under the Codification Sub-Topic “Derivatives and Hedging—Conditions Necessary for Equity Classification” (“FASB ASC 815-40-25-10”) to determine whether permanent equity or temporary equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. Since the Class B interest contains such a provision, we evaluated this guidance and determined that the Class B interest does not meet the requirements to qualify for equity presentation. As a result, the Class B interest in CSP OP is presented in the temporary equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and reported at fair value, with period to period changes in value reported as an adjustment to shareholder’s equity. Under the terms of the Third Amended Partnership Agreement, the fair value of the Class B Interest is determined as an amount equal to the redemption value as defined therein.
Transition Costs
We incurred certain costs in connection with our transition from being an externally managed company to a self-managed company (“Transition Costs”). These Transition Costs consist of legal, consulting and other third-party service provider costs incurred by us in order to execute on our Board of Trustees’ decision to become a self-managed company. The Transition Costs include legal and consulting costs resulting from the amendment of our management structure and various corporate relationships, including with respect to our relations with the former investment advisor, as well as exploring and implementing strategic alternatives for information technology, office space and personnel needs, among other expenses. Transition costs totaling $35,000 and $0 were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Cumulative transition costs incurred through March 31, 2013 totaled $8,285,000.
Earnings Per Share Attributable to Chambers Street Properties Shareholders
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted net income (loss) further assumes the dilutive effect of stock options, stock warrants and contingently issuable shares, if any. We have recorded net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012, the effect of stock options, restricted stock grants, stock warrants and contingently issuable shares, would be anti–dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and accordingly, the $440,000 and $0 in restricted stock awards have been excluded from the earnings per share computation. In addition, no stock options or stock warrants have ever been issued. As a result, there is no difference in basic and diluted shares.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments
We elected to apply the fair value option for one of our eligible mortgage notes payable that was newly issued debt during the year ended December 31, 2008. The measurement of the elected mortgage note payable at its fair value and its impact on the statement of operations is described in Note 15 “Fair Value Option-Note Payable” and Note 16 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments.” As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of the mortgage Note Payable was determined using a market interest rate of 3.011% and 3.015% respectively.
We generally determine or calculate the fair value of financial instruments using appropriate present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating available market discount rate information for similar types of instruments and our estimates for non-performance and liquidity risk. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flow. The Investment Manager of CBRE Strategic

Partners Asia applies valuation techniques for our investment carried at fair value based upon the application of the income approach, the direct market comparison approach, the replacement cost approach or third party appraisals to the underlying assets held in the unconsolidated entity in determining the net asset value attributable to our ownership interest therein. The financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated financial statements are the two interest rate swaps, one interest rate cap, our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia (a real estate entity which qualifies as an investment company under the Investment Company Act), and one mortgage note payable that is economically hedged by one of the interest rate swaps.
The remaining financial assets and liabilities which are only disclosed at fair value consist of all other notes payable, the unsecured line of credit and other debt instruments. We determined the fair value of our secured notes payable and other debt instruments by performing discounted cash flow analyses using an appropriate market discount rate. We calculate the market discount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) rates for variable-rate debt, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our debt and then adding an appropriate credit spread derived from information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit standing, the maturity of the debt, whether the debt is secured or unsecured, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
We adopted the fair value measurement criteria described herein for our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on January 1, 2009. The adoption of the fair value measurement criteria to our non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. Assets and liabilities typically recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis include:
| ¡ | | Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in an acquisition or business combination; |
| ¡ | | Long-lived assets measured at fair value due to an impairment assessment; and |
| ¡ | | Asset retirement obligations initially measured under the ASC Topic “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” (“FASB ASC 410”). |
Share-based Compensation
For share-based awards for which there is no pre-established performance period, we recognize compensation costs over the service vesting period, which represents the requisite service period, on a straight-line basis.
For share-based awards in which the performance period precedes the grant date, we recognize compensation costs over the requisite service period, which includes both the performance and service vesting periods, using the accelerated attribution expense method. The requisite service period begins on the date the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees authorizes the award and adopts any relevant performance measures.
During the performance period for a share-based award program, we estimate the total compensation cost of the potential future awards. We then record compensation costs equal to the portion of the requisite service period that has elapsed through the end of the reporting period.
For share-based awards granted by the Company, CSP OP issues a number of common units equal to the number of common shares ultimately granted by us in respect of such awards.
Subsequent Events
In preparing our accompanying financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events through the financial statement issuance date. We believe that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading.

Adoption of Accounting Standards
New Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). This update 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 present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements established by ASU 2011-11. The ASU clarifies that the scope applied to derivatives accounted for in accordance with the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the Codification, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with the Offsetting Presentation section of the Balance Sheet topic or the Presentation section of the Derivatives and Hedging topic or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.
The ASU amendment and the subsequent clarification of the amendment are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and must be shown for all periods shown on the balance sheet. The adoption of these ASU amendments did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.
Other Accounting Standards Updates not effective until after December 2012 are not expected to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
3. Acquisition of Real Estate
The fair value of the real estate acquired is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, site improvements, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases and tenant relationships, if any, based in each case on their respective fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market loans, will be recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate. Above-market ground leases will be recorded based on the respective fair value of the ground leases.

(2) | Properties acquired from the Duke joint venture on March 1, 2013. |
On March 1, 2013, we acquired Duke Realty’s 20% interest in 17 properties that were held in the Duke joint venture. The properties are located in major submarkets of Phoenix, Raleigh/Durham, Houston, Columbus, Cincinnati, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Minneapolis and Dallas and consisted of 16 office buildings and one warehouse/distribution/logistics building totaling 3,318,402 square feet. The acquisition was structured such that membership interests in each of the subsidiaries that hold the properties were distributed to Duke Realty and CSP OP on a pro rata basis in accordance with their percentage ownership interests in the Duke joint venture (80% to CSP OP and 20% Duke Realty) and CSP OP then purchased Duke Realty’s 20% membership interests in those subsidiaries, resulting in CSP OP owning a 100% interest in each of the property- owning subsidiaries. The aggregate purchase price that CSP OP paid to Duke Realty in connection with the acquisition was approximately $98,136,000, which is 20% of approximately $490,679,000 exclusive of fees and customary closing costs, but inclusive of approximately $216,011,000 of existing mortgage financing. The transaction constituted a change in control of the previously unconsolidated 17 properties, which required a step-up in basis of all acquired assets and liabilities. This resulted in a gain of $77,235,000 at March 31, 2013.
Acquisition related expenses of $1,841,000 and $1,379,000 associated with the acquisitions of real estate were expensed as incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Building Improvements are depreciated over 39 years; Site Improvements are depreciated over 15 and 25 years; Tenant Improvements, Acquired In-Place Lease Value, Above Market Lease Value and Below Market Lease Value are amortized over the remaining lease terms at the time of acquisition.

As of March 31, 2013, CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, with its parallel fund, CB Richard Ellis Strategic Asia II, L.P., had aggregate investor commitments of $394,203,000 from institutional investors including CBRE Global Investors, an affiliate of the former investment advisor. We own an ownership interest of approximately 5.07% in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. As of March 31, 2013, CBRE Strategic Partners Asia had acquired ownership interests in ten properties, five in China and five in Japan. Two of the five ownership interests in China were sold in 2010 and one was sold in 2012. During the first quarter of 2013, the five ownership interests in Japan were sold.
We carry our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia using the equity method of accounting. Those investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of such entities (including certain entities where we have less than 20% ownership) are accounted for using the equity method. Accordingly, our share of the earnings or losses of these equity method entities is included in consolidated net loss.
CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is a limited partnership that qualifies for specialized industry accounting for investment companies. Specialized industry accounting allows investment companies to carry their investments at fair value, with changes in the fair value of the investments recorded in the statement of operations. On the basis of the guidance in ASC 970-323, the Company accounts for its investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia under the equity method. As a result, and in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-15 the specialized accounting treatment, principally the fair value basis, applied by CBRE Strategic Partners Asia under the investment company guide is retained in the recognition of equity method earnings in the statement of operations of the Company. See Note 16 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments” for further discussion of the application of the fair value accounting to our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia.

Duke Joint Venture
On May 5, 2008, we entered into a contribution agreement with Duke Realty Limited Partnership (“Duke”), a subsidiary of Duke Realty Corporation (NYSE: DRE), to form the Duke joint venture to acquire $248,900,500 in industrial real property assets (the “Industrial Portfolio”). The Industrial Portfolio consists of six bulk industrial built-to-suit, fully leased properties. On September 12, 2008, we entered into a first amendment to the contribution agreement to acquire a fully leased office building for $37,111,000 and to increase and revise the total purchase commitment to $282,400,000. We own an 80% interest and Duke owns a 20% interest in the Duke joint venture.
We entered into an operating agreement for the Duke joint venture with Duke on June 12, 2008. Duke acts as the managing member of the Duke joint venture and is entitled to receive fees in connection with the services it provides to the Duke joint venture, including asset management, construction, development, leasing and property management services. Duke is also entitled to a promoted interest in the Duke joint venture. We have joint approval rights over all major policy decisions.
On December 17, 2010, we entered into an amended and restated operating agreement for the Duke joint venture. The amended and restated operating agreement generally contains the same terms and conditions as the operating agreement dated June 12, 2008 described above, except for the following material changes: (i) Duke has been granted us a call option to acquire Duke’s entire interest in the Duke joint venture which such interest shall be valued based on the opinions of qualified appraisers and which we can elect to exercise any time after June 30, 2012 upon the occurrence and adoption by resolution of certain triggering events and (ii) the Duke joint venture has certain rights to participate in the development of certain adjacent and nearby parcels of land currently owned by Duke.
We carry our investment in the Duke joint venture on the equity method of accounting because it is an entity under common control with Duke. Those investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of such entities are accounted for using the equity method. Based on Duke’s substantive participating rights as a minority limited interest holder, and based on Duke’s lack of control over the Duke joint venture in its role as a managing member of the Duke joint venture, neither Duke nor the Company, as minority owner, have substantive control of the Duke joint venture. We eliminate transactions with such equity method subsidiaries to the extent of our ownership in such entities.
On March 1, 2013, Duke Realty’s 20% interest in 17 properties that were held in the Duke joint venture was acquired by CSP OP. See Note 3 “Acquisition of Real Estate” for a further discussion of this transaction.
As of March 31, 2013, the Duke joint venture had approximately $513,000,000, excluding REIT basis adjustments, of assets, exclusive of acquisition fees and closing costs, and held interest in 20 properties, six located in Florida, three located in Ohio, two each located in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Texas and one each in Arizona, North Carolina and Texas.

Afton Ridge Joint Venture
On September 18, 2008, we acquired a 90% ownership interest in Afton Ridge, the owner of Afton Ridge Shopping Center, from unrelated third parties. CK Afton Ridge Shopping Center, LLC, a subsidiary of Childress Klein Properties, Inc. (“CK Afton Ridge”), retained a 10% ownership interest in Afton Ridge and continues to manage Afton Ridge Shopping Center. CK Afton Ridge acts as the managing member of Afton Ridge and is entitled to receive fees, including management, construction management and property management fees. We have joint approval rights over all major operating and policy decisions.
Afton Ridge Shopping Center is located at the intersection of I-85 and Kannapolis Parkway, in Kannapolis, North Carolina. We acquired our ownership interest in Afton Ridge for approximately $45,000,000, exclusive of customary closing costs, which was funded using net proceeds from our initial public offering. Upon closing, we paid our Investment Advisor an acquisition fee of approximately $450,000. This acquisition fee is not included in the $45,000,000 total acquisition cost of Afton Ridge, but is included as additional cost basis at our wholly-owned investment subsidiary.
Afton Ridge Shopping Center is a 470,288 square foot regional shopping center, completed in 2006, in which Afton Ridge owns 296,388 rentable square feet that is currently 98% leased. One of the shopping center’s anchors, a 173,900 square foot SuperTarget, is

not owned by us. Additional anchor tenants in Afton Ridge Shopping Center are Best Buy, Marshalls, PetSmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Stein Mart and Ashley Furniture. Afton Ridge Shopping Center is the retail component of a 260 acre master planned mixed-use development.
On October 15, 2008, Afton Ridge obtained a $25,500,000 loan from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, secured by the Afton Ridge Shopping Center which was originally acquired on September 18, 2008. The loan is for a term of five years, plus a 12 month extension option, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.70%. Interest payments only are due monthly for the term of the loan with principal due at maturity.
We carry our investment in Afton Ridge on the equity method of accounting because it is an entity under common control with CK Afton Ridge. Those investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of such entities are accounted for using the equity method. We eliminate transactions with such equity investees to the extent of our ownership in such entities.

UK JV and European JV
On June 10, 2010, we entered into two joint ventures with subsidiaries of the Goodman Group (ASX: GMG), or Goodman, one of which will seek to invest in logistics focused warehouse/distribution properties in the United Kingdom, or the UK JV, and the other which will seek to invest in logistics focused warehouse/distribution properties in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany, or the European JV. We own an 80% interest in each joint venture and Goodman owns a 20% interest in each joint venture. The terms of each joint venture are described in more detail below.
UK JV
The shareholders’ agreement pertaining to the UK JV is by and among RT Princeton UK Holdings, LLC (our wholly-owned subsidiary), Goodman Jersey Holding Trust and Goodman Princeton Holdings (Jersey) Limited, the UK JV, for the purpose of acquiring and holding, either directly or indirectly, up to £400,000,000 in logistics focused warehouse/distribution properties. On June 10, 2010, we initially funded the UK JV with capital contributions of $26,180,000. The UK JV acquired an initial portfolio of two properties, Amber Park and Brackmills, which were previously owned by a subsidiary of Goodman and which were purchased by the UK JV simultaneously with the closing of the UK JV.
On March 19, 2012, we contributed an additional capital contribution of $10,764,000 to acquire Valley Park, Unit D from an unaffiliated third party.
As of March 31, 2013, the UK JV held interest in three properties. The three triple net single-tenant properties total 541,000 rentable square feet and are currently 100% leased.
A board of directors, comprised of members representing us and Goodman, in each case with an equal number of votes, has the responsibility for the supervision, management and major operating decisions of the UK JV and its business, except with respect to certain reserved matters which will require the unanimous approval of us and Goodman.
During the investment period, the UK JV has a right of first offer, with respect to certain logistics development or logistics investment assets considered for investment in the UK by Goodman or us. If a deadlock has arisen pertaining to a major decision regarding a specific property, either shareholder may exercise a buy-sell option in relation to the relevant property. After the initial investment period, either shareholder wishing to exit the UK JV may exercise a buy-sell option with respect to their entire interest in the UK JV.
The UK JV will pay certain fees to certain Goodman subsidiaries in connection with the services they provide to the UK JV, including but not limited to investment advisory, development management and property management services. Goodman may also be entitled to a promoted interest in the UK JV.

On July 27, 2012, the European JV closed on a loan with Dekabank Deutsche Gironzentrale (“Dekabank”) for approximately€31,100,000 (approximately $38,390,000 assuming an exchange rate of€1.00: $1.2344 at closing, or $30,712,000 at our 80% pro rata share), exclusive of customary fees and expenses. The loan is secured by the European Joint Venture’s Graben Distribution Center I and Graben Distribution Center II properties. The loan is interest only, with a fixed interest rate of 2.39% per annum, and has a five-year term. The loan may be prepaid subject to customary prepayment fees and restrictions. Interest payments are due quarterly on the loan.
On December 12, 2012 we made an additional net capital contribution of $31,781,000 to the European JV to acquire the Koblenz Distribution Center, which was previously owned by a subsidiary of Goodman. The acquisition was partially funded by a loan from Dekabank in the amount of€31,750,000.
As of March 31, 2013, the European JV held interest in six properties. The six triple net single-tenant properties total 3,232,000 rentable square feet and are currently 100% leased.
A board of directors, comprised of members representing us and Goodman, in each case with an equal number of votes, has the responsibility for the supervision, management and major operating decisions of the European JV and its business, except with respect to certain reserved matters which will require the unanimous approval of us and Goodman.

On April 11, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of 90 Hudson Street, we assumed a $120,247,000 ($117,562,000 face value plus a premium of $2,685,000) fixed rate mortgage loan from Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America that bears interest at a rate of 5.66% and matures on May 1, 2016. On July 14, 2011, we and Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, or the Lender, agreed to modify the $117,562,000 existing mortgage loan assumed by us. The loan was modified to extend its maturity by three years, from May 1, 2016 to May 1, 2019. The 5.66% annual interest rate was unchanged but is subject to a new 30-year amortization schedule. We pre-paid approximately $8,600,000 of loan’s balance (with no pre-payment penalty) in connection with the modification. Principal and interest payments are due monthly and principal payments totaling $376,000 were made during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
On December 30, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Sabal Pavilion, we assumed a $15,428,000 ($14,700,000 face value plus a premium of $728,000) fixed rate mortgage loan from U.S. Bank National Association that bears interest at a rate of 6.38% and matures on August 1, 2013. Interest payments are due monthly with principal due at maturity.
In connection with our acquisition of Duke Realty’s 20% interest in the 17 properties held by Duke joint venture on March 1, 2013, we assumed 14 loans encumbering the 17 properties with principal balances totaling $216,011,000 ($230,573,000 at estimated fair value including the premiums of $14,562,000) from 4 lenders that are secured by first deeds of trust on the properties and the assignment of related rents and leases. The loans bear interest at rates ranging from 3.41% to 5.25% per annum and mature between December 1, 2015 and October 1, 2021. The loans require monthly payments of interest and principal, with remaining principal due at maturity. Principal payments totaling $55,000 were made during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Loans Payable
On May 26, 2010, we entered into a $70,000,000 revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. The initial maturity date of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility was May 26, 2014, however we could extend the maturity date to May 26, 2015, subject to certain conditions. $15,000,000 of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility was initially drawn upon closing on May 26, 2010, with $55,000,000 initially remaining available for disbursement during the term of the facility. We had the right to prepay any outstanding amount of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty at any time during the term of this Wells Fargo Credit Facility, however, we initially could not reduce the outstanding principal balance below a minimum outstanding amount of $15,000,000, without reducing the total $70,000,000 Wells Fargo Credit Facility capacity. Initially, the Wells Fargo Credit Facility had a floating interest rate of 300 basis points over LIBOR, however this interest rate would be at least 4.00% for any of the outstanding balance that was not subject to an interest rate swap with an initial term of at least two years.
Upon closing on May 26, 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to effectively fix the interest rate on the initial $15,000,000 outstanding loan amount at 5.10% for the four-year term of the facility. The interest rate swap was designated as a qualifying cash flow hedge at the start date of the hedge relationship as described in Note 15 “Derivative Instruments.” The Wells Fargo Credit Facility was initially secured by our 13201 Wilfred, 3011, 3055 & 3077 Comcast Place, 140 Depot Street, Crest Ridge Corporate Center I and West Point Trade Center properties. In addition, CSP OP provided a limited guarantee for the Wells Fargo Credit Facility.
On August 31, 2010, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to expand the Wells Fargo Credit Facility from its initial capacity of $70,000,000 to an amended capacity of $125,000,000 (the “Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility”). In connection with the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility, the minimum outstanding amount was increased to

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited)
$25,000,000 and as such an additional $10,000,000 was drawn (in addition to the $15,000,000 initially drawn on May 26, 2010) with the remaining $100,000,000 available for disbursement during the term of the facility. The Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility was secured by an additional three of our properties, for a total of eight properties in all: 13201 Wilfred Lane, 3011, 3055 & 3077 Comcast Place, 140 Depot Street, Crest Ridge Corporate Center, West Point Trade Center, 5160 Hacienda Drive, 10450 Pacific Center Court and 225 Summit Avenue. The interest rate was reduced by 25 basis points to 275 basis points over LIBOR (which rate would apply to all withdrawals from the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility other than the initial $15,000,000 that was drawn on May 26, 2010) and the initial interest rate floor of 4.00% was eliminated. The initial maturity date remained May 26, 2014, however we could extend the maturity date to May 26, 2015, subject to certain conditions. The Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility was replaced with the Unsecured Credit Facility as set forth below.
On September 13, 2012, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders to provide CSP OP with an unsecured, revolving credit facility (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”) with an initial capacity of $700,000,000. The Unsecured Credit Facility replaced the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility, which was terminated concurrently with the closing of the Unsecured Credit Facility. The Company paid the $25,000,000 outstanding balance of the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility with cash on hand and expensed the unamortized deferred financing costs associated with obtaining the loan totaling $1,191,000. During the year ended December 31, 2012, $265,000,000 was drawn under the Unsecured Credit Facility with the remaining $435,000,000 available for disbursement during the term of the facility. The $265,000,000 is included in Loan Payable on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012. The Unsecured Credit Facility has a term of four years, which term may be extended for one year at the option of CSP OP provided that CSP OP is not then in default and upon payment of customary extension fees. The Unsecured Credit Facility has no minimum outstanding balance requirements. Under certain circumstances, CSP OP may request an increase in the capacity of the Unsecured Credit Facility by up to an additional $700,000,000, to an aggregate size of $1,400,000,000, although none of the lenders has any obligation to participate in such increase. The Unsecured Credit Facility includes a $25,000,000 swingline sub-facility and a $25,000,000 letter of credit sub-facility. CSP OP paid customary arrangement and commitment fees to the lenders in connection with the Unsecured Credit Facility. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have provided a guaranty in connection with the Unsecured Credit Facility.
The loans under the Unsecured Credit Facility will bear interest, at CSP OP’s election, based on (i) LIBOR, for interest periods of one, three or six months, plus the applicable margin, or (ii) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus the applicable margin (if the LIBOR Market Index Rate is unavailable, the per annum rate of interest would be the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.5%, plus the applicable margin). The LIBOR Market Index Rate is LIBOR in respect of loans of one-month interest periods, determined on a daily basis, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin is (i) for periods prior to the Company or CSP OP having a credit rating, based on the Company’s then current leverage ratio, and (ii) during such periods when the Company or CSP OP has a credit rating, based on its then current credit rating. The applicable margin can vary from (i) 1.60% to 2.35% based upon the then current leverage ratio, or (ii) 1.00% to 1.80% based upon a then current credit rating of the Company or CSP OP. As of the closing of the Unsecured Credit Facility, the current stated applicable margin was 1.60%. CSP OP will pay customary fees in connection with borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility. Further, CSP OP may prepay any revolving or swingline loan, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty. As of March 31, 2013, outstanding borrowings of $70,044,000 bear interest at a rate of 1.81% based on 1.60% over the one month LIBOR.
Under the Unsecured Credit Facility, the Company will be subject to certain financial covenants that require, among other things: the maintenance of (i) a leverage ratio of not more than 0.60; (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.50; (iii) a secured leverage ratio of not more than (a) 0.45 prior to the Unsecured Credit Facility’s second anniversary, or (b) 0.40 thereafter; (iv) an unencumbered leverage ratio of not more than 0.60; (v) a ratio of unencumbered net operating income to unsecured interest expense of at least 1.75 (unless the Company or CSP OP obtains an investment grade credit rating, in which case this requirement is eliminated); (vi) minimum tangible net worth of $1,653,403,000 plus 85% of the net proceeds of certain future equity issuances; and (vii) unencumbered asset value of at least $400,000,000. In addition, the Unsecured Credit Facility contains a number of customary non-financial covenants including those restricting liens, mergers, sales of assets, certain investments in unimproved land and mortgage receivables, intercompany transfers, transactions with affiliates and distributions.
On March 6, 2013, we entered into an unsecured term loan in the amount of $50,000,000 with TD Bank, N.A (the “TD Term Loan”). Upon closing the TD Term Loan, we simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap agreement with TD Bank to effectively fix the interest rate on the TD Term Loan at 3.425% per annum for its seven-year term, based upon the TD Term Loan’s current stated applicable margin, which may vary during its term based upon the then current leverage ratio or our then current credit rating. The TD

Term Loan contains customary representations and warrants and covenants. We used the proceeds of the TD Term Loan to repay a portion of our borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility.
On March 7, 2013, we entered into an unsecured term loan (the “Wells Fargo Term Loan”) in the amount of $200,000,000 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and certain other lenders defined in the Wells Fargo Term Loan. Upon closing the Wells Fargo Term Loan, we simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo to effectively fix the interest rate on the Wells Fargo Term Loan at 2.4885% per annum for its five-year term, based upon the Wells Fargo Term Loan’s current stated applicable margin, which may vary based upon the then current leverage ratio, or our then current credit rating. The Wells Fargo Term Loan contains customary representations and warrants and covenants. We used the proceeds of the Wells Fargo Term Loan to repay a portion of our borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility.
On March 7, 2013, we entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the credit agreement entered into on September 13, 2012 with a group of lenders, which provided us with an unsecured, revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $700,000,000. The First Amendment modified the Unsecured Credit Facility to among other things: (i) amend certain definitions, (ii) amend certain requirements of the guarantor, (iii) amend the requirements relating to quarterly financial statements, annual statements, compliance certificates and certain other SEC filings, (iv) amend the requirements relating to electronic delivery of information, (v) provide the Company with an option to restate the tangible net worth covenant in the event of a redemption event, (vi) remove the restriction on negative pledges, (vii) amend the restrictions on intercompany transfers and (viii) amend certain disclosure and confidentiality provisions.

9. Segment Disclosure
Our reportable segments consist of three types of commercial real estate properties, namely, Domestic Industrial Properties, Domestic Office Properties and International Office/Retail Properties. Management internally evaluates the operating performance and financial results of our segments based on net operating income. We also have certain general and administrative level activities including legal, accounting, tax preparation and shareholder servicing costs that are not considered separate operating segments. Our reportable segments are on the same basis of accounting as described in Note 2—“Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
We evaluate the performance of our segments based on net operating income, defined as: rental income and tenant reimbursements less property and related expenses (operating and maintenance, property management fees, property level general and administrative expenses and real estate taxes) and excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and our general and administrative expenses.

10. Investment Management and Other Fees to Related Parties
Prior to July 1, 2012, all of our business activities were managed by the former investment advisor pursuant to the Fourth Amended Advisory Agreement, which terminated according to its terms on June 30, 2012. Effective July 1, 2012, we entered into the Transitional Services Agreement with CSP OP and the former investment advisor pursuant to which the former investment advisor would provide certain consulting related services to us at the direction of our officers and other personnel for a term which ended on April 30, 2013. For consulting services provided to us in connection with the investment management of our assets, the former investment advisor was paid an investment management consulting fee payable in cash consisting of (i) a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.5% of the aggregate cost (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all real estate investments within our portfolio and (ii) a monthly fee equal to 5.0% of the aggregate monthly net operating income derived from all real estate investments within our portfolio, subject to certain adjustments. For consulting services provided to us in connection with the acquisition of assets, the former investment advisor or its affiliates was paid acquisition fees up to 1.5% of (i) the contract purchase price of real estate investments acquired by us, or (ii) when we make an investment indirectly through another entity, such investment’s pro rata share of the gross asset value of real estate investments held by that entity. The total of all acquisition consulting fees payable with respect to real estate investments did not exceed an amount equal to 6% of the contract purchase price (or 6% of funds advanced with respect to mortgages) provided, however, that a majority of the uninterested members of the Board of Trustees could approve amounts in excess of this limit.
Upon the termination date of the Transitional Services Agreement, we and the former investment advisor are required to agree on a list of unacquired real estate investments for which the former investment advisor has performed certain acquisition related consulting services (a “Qualifying Property”). If any Qualifying Property is acquired by us within the nine months following the termination of the Transitional Services Agreement then we shall pay an acquisition consulting fee equal to 0.75% of (i) the contract purchase price of the real estate investments (including debt), or (ii) when we make an investment indirectly through another entity, such investment’s pro rata share of the gross asset value of real estate investments held by that entity to the former investment advisor. Real estate investments for which there is a dispute as to whether it is a Qualifying Property that are acquired within the nine months following the termination of the Transitional Services Agreement will be submitted to arbitration.
For consulting services provided to us in connection with property management, leasing or construction services, the former investment advisor was paid based upon the customary property management, leasing and construction supervision fees applicable to the geographic location and type of property. Such fees for each service ranged from 2.0% to 5.0% of gross revenues received from a property that we owned. We paid the former investment advisor a real estate commission fee upon the sale of properties in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of the competitive real estate commission or (ii) 3% of the sales price of each property sold. The total brokerage commission paid did not exceed the lesser of the competitive real estate commission or an amount equal to 6% of the sales price of the property.
To the extent that the we assume or incur prior to the termination of the Transition Services Agreement a cost that was previously borne by the former investment advisor during the term of the Transition Services Agreement or its predecessor agreement, then amounts otherwise owed under the Transition Services Agreement are to be correspondingly reduced on a monthly basis; provided that (i) any Assumed Costs resulting from hiring of any targeted personnel are to reduce the amounts payable by us under this agreement for such month only to the extent of their base salary and benefits (as in effect immediately prior to their hiring by us) and any related other direct employer costs (but excluding any bonus amounts) earned or incurred during the month.
We reimbursed the former investment advisor for certain expenses paid or incurred in connection with services provided under the Transitional Services Agreement. In addition, the former investment advisor was only entitled to reimbursement for third party expenses incurred in connection with services provided pursuant to the Transitional Services Agreement that we approved in writing. Our sole obligation to reimburse the former investment advisor for expenses incurred related to personnel costs was to make an aggregate payment equal to $2,500,000 on the effective date of the agreement.
Previously, pursuant to the Fourth Amended Advisory Agreement, the former investment advisor and its affiliates performed services relating to the management of our assets. We also have paid fees to the former dealer manager for services it performed with respect to our prior public offerings. Items of compensation and equity participation are as follows:

Our $21,248,000 notional amount interest rate swap has been designated as a qualifying cash flow hedge of the LIBOR base payments due under our Maskew Retail Park variable rate note payable from its inception on September 24, 2009. The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap liability value of $824,000 and $1,015,000 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, has resulted in a swap fair value adjustment being recorded to other comprehensive gain totaling $190,000 and $41,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
15. Fair Value Option—Note Payable
During the fourth quarter of 2008, we elected to apply the fair value option on a note payable which bears interest at a variable rate and is currently subject to an economic hedge by an interest rate swap with similar terms and the same notional amount. We have elected to apply the fair value option on the Albion Mills Retail Park variable rate note payable to match the fair value treatment of interest rate swap derivative on the same note payable thereby achieving a reduction in the artificial volatility in net income or loss that occurs when related financial assets and liabilities are measured and reported on a different basis in the consolidated financial statements.
We applied the fair value option for the Albion Mills Retail Park note payable at each reporting period. Included in loss on notes payable at fair value in the statement of operations were $25,000 and $35,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, there was a $594,000 translation gain and $271,000 translation loss recorded to Other Comprehensive Income at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments
We apply the three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical financial instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as instruments that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. We have classified the Albion Mills Retail Park notes payable as Level 3 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 due to the lack of current market activity and our reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate the fair value of the mortgage note payable.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we held certain items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included cash equivalents, interest rate swap derivative contracts and our equity method investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid, income-producing investments, all of which have maturities of 90 days or less, including money market funds and U.S. Government obligations. Derivative instruments are related to our economic hedging activities with respect to interest rates.
The fair values of the interest rate swap derivative agreements are estimated with the assistance of a third party valuation specialist, as reviewed by the Vice President and Controller, using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash payments and receipts on the pay and receive legs of the interest rate swap agreements that swap the estimated variable rate mortgage note payment stream for a fixed rate receive payment stream over the period of the loan. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the interest rate swap agreements are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements (where appropriate). Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We have consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented and believe we have obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts we hold.
Our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is based on the Level 3 valuation inputs applied by the Investment Manager of this investment company utilizing the following approaches for valuing the underlying real estate related investments within the investment company:
| ¡ | | The income approach is generally based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Such an analysis for a real property includes projecting net cash flows from the property from a buyer’s perspective and computing the present value of the cash flows using a market discount rate. The cash flows include a projection of the net sales proceeds at the end of our estimate of a market participant holding period, computed using market reversionary capitalization rates and projected cash flows from the property for the year following the holding period. |
| ¡ | | The direct market comparison approach to property valuation is primarily based on the principle of substitution, which holds that the value of a property tends to be set by the price that would be paid to acquire a substitute property of similar utility and desirability within a reasonable amount of time. Transactions of similar properties are analyzed and compared to the subject property. Factors affecting value include differences in the location, size, quality of construction and other physical features, property rights appraised, timing of sale, and economic and market conditions. |
| ¡ | | The replacement cost approach to property valuation is a theoretical breakdown of the property into land and building components. The theory is that the value of a property can be estimated by summing the land value and the depreciated value of any improvements. While the replacement cost of the improvements can be determined by adding the labor, material, and other costs, land values must be derived from an analysis of comparable data. The cost approach is considered reliable when used on newer structures, but the method tends to become less reliable for older properties. |
| ¡ | | For investments owned more than one year, except for investments under construction or incurring significant renovation, it is CBRE Strategic Partners Asia’s policy to obtain a third-party appraisal. For investments in real estate under construction or incurring significant renovation, the valuation analysis is prepared by the Investment Manager. |

Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings related to the interest rate swaps, as well as for the elected fair value note payable for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 are reported as components of “Other Income and Expense” on the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on specific forecasted transactions as well as recognized financial obligations or assets. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
The primary risks associated with derivative instruments are market and credit risk. Market risk is defined as the potential for loss in value of a derivative instrument due to adverse changes in market prices (interest rates). Utilizing derivative instruments allows the Company to effectively manage the risk of fluctuations in interest rates related to the potential effects these changes could have on future earnings and forecasted cash flows.
Credit risk is the risk that one of the parties to a derivative contract fails to perform or meet their financial obligation. The Company does not obtain collateral associated with its derivative instruments, but monitors the credit standing of its counterparties on a regular basis. Should counterparty fail to perform, the Company would incur a financial loss to the extent that the associated derivative contract was in an asset position. At March 31, 2013, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties to its outstanding derivative contracts.
At March 31, 2013, the Company expects that the hedged forecasted transactions, for each of the outstanding qualifying cash flow hedging relationships remains probable of occurring and that no gains or losses recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss are expected to be reclassified to earnings.

The estimated fair value of our investment in SP Asia is most sensitive to changes in capitalization rates for commercial properties in large urban areas in China and Japan, and among other factors, is also sensitive to currency exchange rate fluctuations and changes in the interest rates of China, Japan and the U.S., respectively. Decreases in capitalization rates and increases in interest rates generally increase the value of our investments. Changes in currency exchanges rates where the U.S. Dollar increases in value against the Chinese Yuan and Japanese Yen generally decrease the value of our investments. The estimated fair value of the Albion Mills variable rate loan is not sensitive to changes in index interest rates, but remains somewhat sensitive to changes in credit spreads available to the REIT. If credit spreads increase, the fair value of this note payable balance decreases.

CBRE Global Investors, an affiliate of the former investment advisor, formed CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, to purchase, reposition, develop, hold for investment and sell institutional quality real estate and related assets in targeted markets in China, Japan, India, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and other Asia Pacific markets. If we and all other currently committed capital investors had funded our entire commitments in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia as of March 31, 2013, we would have owned an ownership interest of approximately 5.07% in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. A majority of our trustees (including a majority of our independent trustees) not otherwise interested in this transaction approved the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable. CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is managed by CB Richard Ellis Investors SP Asia II, LLC or the Fund Manager, a subsidiary of CBRE Global Investors, an affiliate of the former investment advisor.
Litigation—From time to time, we and our properties may be subject to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Currently, neither our company nor any of our properties are subject to, or threatened with, any legal proceedings for which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Environmental Matters—We are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.
18. Income Taxes
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we generally distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). It is our current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT qualification. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level U.S. federal income tax on net income we distribute currently to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, if any.
ASC 740-10 Income Taxes requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined

CHAMBERS STREET PROPERTIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited)
based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We did not have a liability for any unrecognized benefits as of March 31, 2013. The tax years from 2008 through 2012 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the company is subject.
Included as a component of our tax provision, we have incurred income and other taxes (franchise, local and state government and international) related to our continuing operations in the amount of $69,000 and ($18,000), for California, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina and Texas impacting our operations during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The United Kingdom taxes real property operating results at a statutory rate of 20%. The United Kingdom taxable losses to date have generated a deferred tax asset of approximately $630,000 consisting of these net operating loss carryforwards. We have provided for a full valuation allowance of ($630,000) as of three months ended March 31, 2013 on deferred tax assets because it is not likely that future operating profits in the United Kingdom would be sufficient to absorb the net operating losses.
19. Subsequent Events
On April 26, 2013, our Board of Trustees determined that it is in the best interest of us and our shareholders to list our common shares of beneficial interest on a national securities exchange. We intend to list our common shares of beneficial interest on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “CSG.” We anticipate that our common shares of beneficial interest will be listed on the NYSE on or about May 21, 2013 (the “Listing”). The completion of the Listing is subject to certain conditions.
We also intend to commence a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer (subject to all appropriate filings with the SEC), to purchase up to $125,000,000 of our common shares of beneficial interest. Under the terms of the proposed tender offer, we intend to select the lowest price, not greater than $10.60 nor less than $10.10 per common share of beneficial interest, net to the tendering shareholder in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, that will allow us to purchase up to $125,000,000 of our common shares of beneficial interests or a lower amount depending upon the number of common shares properly tendered and not withdrawn. We expect to allow shareholders to tender all or a portion of their common shares in the tender offer. In the event that the tender offer is oversubscribed, proration of tendered common shares will be calculated promptly after the tender offer expires. We intend to fund the tender offer with funds available under the Unsecured Credit Facility. We expect to commence the proposed tender offer on or about May 21, 2013 in conjunction with the Listing. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. will be the Dealer Managers for the proposed tender offer.

Overview
Chambers Street Properties is a self-administered and internally managed Maryland REIT led by an experienced management team that is focused on acquiring, owning and operating high-quality industrial and office properties. Our management team manages our day-to-day operations and oversees and supervises our employees and outside service providers. Acquisitions and asset management services are performed principally by us, with certain services provided by third parties. Prior to July 1, 2012, all of the business activities of the Company were managed by CBRE Advisors LLC (the “former investment advisor”) pursuant to the fourth amended and restated advisory agreement (the “Fourth Amended Advisory Agreement”), which terminated according to its terms on June 30, 2012. In addition, effective July 1, 2012, the Company entered into a transitional services agreement with CSP OP and the former investment
52
advisor pursuant to which the former investment advisor would provide certain operational and consulting services to the Company at the direction of our officers and other personnel for a term which ended on April 30, 2013.
We invest in real estate properties, focusing primarily on industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution/logistics) and office properties, as well as other real estate-related assets. We primarily target single-tenant industrial and office assets, in well-located and growing markets that are critical to the tenant’s business. A majority of these properties are subject to triple net or similar leases, where the tenant bears all or substantially all of the costs, including cost increases, for real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and ordinary repairs. We may also utilize our expertise and resources to capitalize on unique opportunities that may exist elsewhere in the marketplace. We intend to invest primarily in properties located in geographically-diverse metropolitan areas in the United States. We expect that our international investments will focus on properties typically located in significant business districts and suburban markets. Some of our domestic and international investments may be in partnership with other entities that have significant local-market expertise.
As of March 31, 2013, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 99 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution/logistics) office and retail properties located in 19 U.S. states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Virginia) and in the United Kingdom, encompassing approximately 22,314,000 rentable square feet. Our consolidated properties were approximately 95.90% leased (based upon square feet) as of March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, 72 of our consolidated properties were triple net leased to single tenants—these triple net single-tenant properties encompassed approximately 17,604,000 rentable square feet. As of March 31, 2013, certain of our consolidated properties were subject to mortgage debt, a description of which is set forth in “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing.”
In addition, we had ownership interests in five unconsolidated entities that, as of March 31, 2013, owned interests in 32 properties. Excluding those properties owned through our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, we owned, on an unconsolidated basis, 30 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution/logistics) office and retail properties located in nine U.S. states (Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas) and in the United Kingdom and Europe encompassing approximately 11,748,000 rentable square feet. Our unconsolidated properties were approximately 99.04% leased (based upon square feet) as of March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, 18 of our unconsolidated properties were triple net leased to single tenants—these triple net single-tenant properties encompassed approximately 10,170,000 rentable square feet. As of March 31, 2013, certain of our unconsolidated properties were subject to mortgage debt, a description of which is set forth in “-Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing.”
As of March 31, 2013, our portfolio was 96.99% leased, and the total effective annual rents for our industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution/logistics) properties, office properties and retail properties were approximately $95,878,000, $167,451,000 and $8,620,000 respectively (net of any rent concessions). The average effective annual rent per square foot for our industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution/logistics) properties, office properties and retail properties was approximately $3.89, $18.84 and $17.38, respectively (net of any rent concessions). The average effective annual rent per square foot for our triple net lease industrial and office properties was approximately $3.97 and $18.26 as of March 31, 2013, respectively (net of any rent concessions). As of March 31, 2013, approximately 56% of our annualized base rent was derived from investment grade rated tenants.
As of March 31, 2012, our portfolio was 98.27% leased, and the total effective annual rents for our industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution/logistics) properties, office properties and retail properties were approximately $79,952,000, $162,417,000, and $8,831,000 as of March 31, 2012, respectively (net of any rent concessions). The average effective annual rent per square foot for our industrial properties, office properties and retail properties was approximately $3.84, $19.15 and $17.81 as of March 31, 2012, respectively (net of any rent concessions). The average effective annual rent per square foot for our triple net lease industrial and office properties was approximately $3.93 and $17.58 as of March 31, 2012, respectively (net of any rent concessions).
Our primary objective is to maximize shareholder value through stable cash flow and long-term asset appreciation. In pursuing this objective, we target growth through acquisitions and selective built-to-suit development in markets that complement our existing portfolio, actively manage our balance sheet to maintain flexibility with conservative leverage, and seek internal growth through proactive asset management, leasing and property management oversight. Operating results at our individual properties are impacted by the supply and demand for industrial, office and retail space, trends of national and regional economies, the financial health of current and prospective tenants and their customers, capital and credit market trends, construction costs, and interest rate movements. Individual operating property performance is monitored and calculated using certain non-GAAP financial measures such as an analysis of net operating income. An analysis of net operating income as compared to local regional and national statistics may provide insight into short or longer term trends exclusive of capital markets or capital structuring issues. Interest rates are a critical factor in our results of operations. Our properties may be financed with significant amounts of debt, so changes in interest rates may affect both net income and the health of capital markets. For investments outside of the United States, in addition to monitoring local property market
53
fundamentals and capital and credit market trends, we evaluate currency hedging strategies, taxes, the stability of the local government and economy and the experience of our management team in the region.
We were formed on March 30, 2004 and commenced operations in July 2004, following an initial $55 million private placement of our common shares of beneficial interest. Jack A. Cuneo, our Founder and President and Chief Executive Officer, developed the initial business plan and obtained sponsorship from CBRE Global Investors to establish the Company. Since that time, we have raised equity capital to finance our real estate investment activities through two public offerings of our common shares of beneficial interest. Our public offerings raised an aggregate of $2,388,227,000 in gross offering proceeds, excluding proceeds associated with common shares issued under our amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan. Our common shares of beneficial interest are not currently listed on a national securities exchange, but we expect to list them on or about May 21, 2013. For more information about the listing, see “—Subsequent Events.” We were initially formed as CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust and on July 1, 2012, we changed our name to Chambers Street Properties. All of our real estate investments are held directly by, or indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries of CSP Operating Partnership, LP (“CSP OP”) which we are the sole general partner. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that portion of our income that is distributed to our shareholders if at least 90% of our net taxable income is distributed to our shareholders
In 2010, our Board of Trustees established a Special Committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”) consisting of the Board’s independent trustees to explore and review our strategic alternatives and liquidity events in accordance with our investment objectives. The Special Committee engaged Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc. as its financial advisor, to assist with its exploration and review of our strategic alternatives and liquidity events in accordance with our investment objectives (as discussed above). During 2011, with the assistance of its financial advisor and in consultation with the former investment advisor and our Board of Trustees, the Special Committee discussed and considered various strategic alternatives, including potentially continuing as a going concern under our current business plan, a potential liquidation of our assets either through a sale or merger of our company (including through either a bulk sale of our portfolio or through a sale of our individual properties) as well as a potential listing of our shares on a national securities exchange. In December 2011, after consideration of the recent general economic and capital market conditions, market conditions for listed REITs, credit market conditions, our operational performance, the status of our portfolio, our then current offering and our current and anticipated deployment of available capital to investments, the Special Committee and our Board of Trustees determined it was in the best interests of our shareholders for our shares to remain unlisted and to continue operations rather than commencing a liquidation of our assets. The Special Committee and our Board of Trustees believed that remaining unlisted and continuing our operations would provide us with the ability to purchase additional properties in order to continue to expand and diversify our portfolio and thus potentially better position us for a liquidity event. In April 2013, our Board of Trustees determined that it was in the best interest of us and our shareholders to pursue a listing on the NYSE, which is expected to occur on or about May 21, 2013. For more information about the listing, see “—Subsequent Events.”
Transition to Self-Management
In March 2012, the Special Committee determined that our company and its shareholders would benefit from an internal management structure in that such a structure could provide cost savings, improved distribution coverage, flexibility to pursue a variety of strategic initiatives, the ability to take advantage of opportunities created by changing market conditions and an opportunity to enhance the trading values of our common shares to the extent that we pursue and complete a listing of our common shares on a national securities exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global Market. For more information about our decision to pursue a listing on the NYSE, see “—Subsequent Events.” Our Board of Trustees, based on the recommendation of the Special Committee, authorized the Special Committee to commence a process to achieve internal management.
On April 27, 2012, we entered into a transition to self-management agreement (the “Transition to Self-Management Agreement”) with CSP OP, CBRE Global Investors, and the former investment advisor, which sets forth certain tasks to be performed by each of the parties to the agreement in order to facilitate our self-management, including but not limited to our hiring of the 19 identified employees of the former investment advisor and/or its affiliates who were dedicated to our operations. The tasks set forth in the Transition to Self-Management Agreement have been fulfilled.
Additionally, on June 29, 2012, effective June 30, 2012, we undertook several management and board changes as follows: (i) appointed Louis P. Salvatore to serve as an independent trustee, the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees and as a member of each of the Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board of Trustees, to fill the vacancy left by Peter E. DiCorpo, who stepped down as a trustee in connection with the termination of the Fourth Amended Advisory Agreement, (ii) appointed Jack A. Cuneo to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer, (iii) appointed Philip L. Kianka to serve as our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and (iv) appointed Martin A. Reid to serve as our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. In connection with Mr. Reid’s appointment as Chief Financial Officer, Laurie E. Romanak stepped down as
54
our Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Reid stepped down as the Chairman and as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees and as a member of each of the Compensation Committee and the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Trustees. In addition, on June 19, 2012, our Board of Trustees appointed Charles E. Black to serve as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees in accordance with a provision in our bylaws that requires the chairman be an independent member.
On June 30, 2012, the Fourth Amended Advisory Agreement terminated according to its terms and, effective July 1, 2012, we entered into a transitional services agreement (the “Transitional Services Agreement”) with CSP OP and the former investment advisor pursuant to which the former investment advisor would provide certain operational and consulting related services to us at the direction of our officers and other personnel for a term which ended on April 30, 2013.
For consulting services provided to us in connection with the investment management of our assets, the former investment advisor was paid an investment management consulting fee payable in cash consisting of (i) a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.5% of the aggregate cost (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all real estate investments within our portfolio and (ii) a monthly fee equal to 5.0% of the aggregate monthly net operating income derived from all real estate investments within our portfolio, subject to certain adjustments. For consulting services provided to us in connection with the acquisition of assets, the former investment advisor or its affiliates was paid acquisition fees up to 1.5% of (i) the contract purchase price of real estate investments acquired by us, or (ii) when we make an investment indirectly through another entity, such investment’s pro rata share of the gross asset value of real estate investments held by that entity. The total of all acquisition consulting fees payable with respect to real estate investments did not exceed an amount equal to 6% of the contract purchase price (or 6% of funds advanced with respect to mortgages) provided, however, that a majority of the uninterested members of the Board of Trustees could approve amounts in excess of this limit.
Upon the termination date of the Transitional Services Agreement, we and the former investment advisor are required to agree on a list of unacquired real estate investments for which the former investment advisor has performed certain acquisition related consulting services (a “Qualifying Property”). If any Qualifying Property is acquired by us within the nine months following the termination of the Transitional Services Agreement then we shall pay an acquisition consulting fee equal to 0.75% of (i) the contract purchase price of the real estate investments (including debt), or (ii) when we make an investment indirectly through another entity, such investment’s pro rata share of the gross asset value of real estate investments held by that entity to the former investment advisor. Real estate investments for which there is a dispute as to whether it is a Qualifying Property that are acquired within the nine months following the termination of the Transitional Services Agreement will be submitted to arbitration.
For consulting services provided to us in connection with property management, leasing or construction services, to the extent such services were used, the former investment advisor was paid based upon the customary property management, leasing and construction supervision fees applicable to the geographic location and type of property. Such fees for each service ranged from 2.0% to 5.0% of gross revenues received from a property that we owned. We paid the former investment advisor a real estate commission fee upon the sale of properties in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of the competitive real estate commission or (ii) 3% of the sales price of each property sold. The total brokerage commission paid did not exceed the lesser of the competitive real estate commission or an amount equal to 6% of the sales price of the property.
To the extent that the Company assumes or incurs prior to the termination of the Transition Services Agreement a cost that was previously borne by the former investment advisor during the term of the Transition Services Agreement or its predecessor agreement, then amounts otherwise owed under the Transition Services Agreement are to be correspondingly reduced on a monthly basis; provided that (i) any Assumed Costs resulting from hiring of any targeted personnel are to reduce the amounts payable by the Company under this agreement for such month only to the extent of their base salary and benefits (as in effect immediately prior to their hiring by the Company) and any related other direct employer costs (but excluding any bonus amounts) earned or incurred during the month.
We reimbursed the former investment advisor for certain expenses paid or incurred in connection with services provided under the Transitional Services Agreement. In addition, the former investment advisor was only entitled to reimbursement for third party expenses incurred in connection with services provided pursuant to the Transitional Services Agreement that we approved in writing. Our sole obligation to reimburse the former investment advisor for expenses incurred related to personnel costs was to make an aggregate payment equal to $2,500,000 on the effective date of the agreement.
Business and Growth Strategies
We seek to invest in industrial and office properties that are net leased to investment grade or credit rated tenants on long-term leases at attractive prices through new acquisitions or build-to-suit projects. We believe the credit quality of many of our tenants, the lengths of our leases, the relatively modest capital expense requirements of our properties and our single-tenant focus help us to create shareholder value. We also believe that our senior management team’s extensive experience will allow us to identify and consummate
55
the acquisition and development of high-quality net leased properties. Our strategy is intended to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders over time and across a variety of market conditions and economic cycles. We intend to execute our strategy and expand our portfolio through the following:
| ¡ | | Acquire Existing, High-Quality Net Leased Industrial and Office Properties. We believe high-quality industrial and office properties, which are net leased to single tenants with strong credit profiles, represent attractive investments. We target acquisitions in markets with above-average projected rental growth, strong tenant demand and significant barriers to new construction. Our relationships with our tenants and our network of industry contacts help us source acquisitions. |
| ¡ | | Selectively Pursue Built-to-Suit Opportunities. We intend to pursue select built-to-suit opportunities that have attractive development yields and tenants with strong credit profiles under long-term triple net leases. A recent example of this strategy is the completion of our 300,000 square foot built-to-suit office development that is under a 12-year lease to Endo Health Solutions (NASDAQ: ENDP), located outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In addition, we recently formed a joint venture to develop a four building, 454,801 square foot build-to-suit office complex in Malvern, Pennsylvania for Shire US, Inc., which will serve as their US corporate headquarters under a 15-year lease. |
| ¡ | | Maximize Cash Flow Through Internal Growth. We seek investments that provide the potential for attractive returns to our shareholders with fixed rent escalations over long term leases that provide stable cash flow. We have typically structured our property acquisitions to achieve a positive spread between our cost of capital and the yields achieved on our investments. Our existing leases have embedded rental rate growth as the majority of our existing leases provide for periodic increases in rent. |
| ¡ | | Pursue a Disciplined Capital Recycling Program. We intend to pursue a disciplined capital allocation strategy designed to maximize the value of our investments by selectively disposing of properties that are no longer consistent with our investment strategy or whose returns appear to have been maximized. To the extent that we dispose properties, we intend to redeploy the capital into investment opportunities that we believe are more attractive investments. |
| ¡ | | Actively Manage a Strong and Flexible Capital Structure. We expect to maintain a prudent capital structure with access to multiple sources of equity and debt financing. We intend to continue to stagger our debt maturities and transition to become a primarily unsecured borrower. We anticipate that we will have a mix of fixed and floating-rate debt and intend to maintain modest total leverage. As a means to reduce our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, we endeavor to place debt in the local currency on our international properties. |
Market Trends
In early 2010, the commercial real estate market experienced gradual indications of market stabilization and improved access to debt financing on attractive terms began to reappear. During 2010 and into 2011, we also noted the initial signs of added competition for commercial real estate investments, particularly for high-quality stabilized properties leased to credit worthy tenants on a long-term basis, and we additionally experienced a willingness of our tenants to commit to extended lease maturities, and in some instances expand existing facilities.
As economic activity progressed in 2011 and during 2012, a slower pace of recovery in the general economy continued with a gradual improvement in certain key metrics such as exports and corporate profits. In the current environment, capital availability continues to remain concentrated on the highest quality, well-leased and strategically positioned properties that provide lower risk and stable investment return potential, and for well sponsored real estate investment programs with experienced management teams.
Throughout 2012 and into 2013, demand for quality industrial space accelerated across much of the country, but particularly in major distribution hubs. The office market is in the midst of a slow recovery following the recession, with the rate of recovery varying significantly by metropolitan area and submarket. Net lease properties performed better than other real estate segments during the recent recession, reflecting the stability provided by assets with long-term in-place leases. Construction and development of new properties has shown signs of improvement, primarily with regard to new, single-tenant, built-to-suit opportunities leased on a long-term basis. The continuation of low interest rates combined with the availability of attractively priced properties should allow us to deploy our capital on an attractive basis.

Critical Accounting Policies
Management believes our most critical accounting policies are accounting for lease revenues (including straight-line rent), regular evaluation of whether the value of a real estate asset has been impaired, real estate purchase price allocations, accounting for our derivatives and hedging activities, and fair value of financial instruments and investments, if any. Each of these items involves estimates that require management to make judgments that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical data and current market data, and analyzes these assumptions in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. Under different conditions or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported related to the accounting policies described below. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments on the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Receivables
All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is recorded as deferred rent. In connection with various leases, we have received irrevocable stand-by letters of credit totaling $17,745,000 and $17,760,000 as security for such leases at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
67
Reimbursements from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable costs, are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis, when we are the primary obligor with respect to incurring expenses and with respect to having the credit risk.
Tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible current tenant receivables and deferred rent. Management’s determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, individual receivables, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The allowances are increased or decreased through the provision for bad debts. The allowance for uncollectible rent receivable was $728,000 and $11,000 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively.
Investments in Real Estate and Related Long-Lived Assets (Impairment Evaluation)
We record investments in real estate at cost (including third-party acquisition expenses) and we capitalize improvements and replacements when they extend the useful life or improve the efficiency of the asset. We expense costs of repairs and maintenance as incurred. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of our real estate assets, which we expect to be approximately 39 years for buildings and improvements, three to five years for equipment and fixtures and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because, if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis throughout the expected useful lives of the related assets.
We have adopted,“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“FASB ASC 360-10”), which establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets including discontinued operations. This accounting provision requires that the operations related to properties that have been sold or that we intend to sell be presented as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented, and properties we intend to sell be designated as “held for sale” on our balance sheet.
When circumstances such as adverse market conditions indicate a possible impairment of the value of a property, we review the recoverability of the property’s carrying value. The review of recoverability is based on our estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. Our forecast of these cash flows considers factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. These factors contain subjectivity and thus are not able to be precisely estimated. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of our investments in real estate.
We assess whether there has been impairment in the value of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset group identified for step two testing is based on either the income approach with market discount rate, terminal capitalization rate and rental rate assumptions being most critical, or on the sales comparison approach to similar properties. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.
Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate
We apply the acquisition method to all acquired real estate investments. The purchase consideration of the real estate is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, site improvements, building and tenant improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases, value of tenant relationships and acquired ground leases, based in each case on their fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market loans, will be recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.
68
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land (or acquired ground lease if the land is subject to a ground lease), site improvements, building and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.
In allocating the purchase consideration of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which 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 fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease and, for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized below-market lease values, also referred to as acquired lease obligations, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial terms of the respective leases and any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a decrease to rental income over the initial terms of the prospective leases.
The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, is measured by the estimated cost of operations during a theoretical lease-up period to replace in-place leases, including lost revenues and any unreimbursed operating expenses, plus an estimate of deferred leasing commissions for in-place leases. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease value and tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value for the real estate acquired as such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for these particular acquisitions. Should future acquisitions of properties result in allocating material amounts to the value of tenant relationships, an amount would be separately allocated and amortized over the estimated life of the relationship. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases.
Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities
All of our derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. We periodically review the effectiveness of each hedging transaction, which involves estimating future cash flows. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. Calculation of a fair value of derivative instruments also requires management to use estimates. Amounts will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. The changes in fair value hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities, with the corresponding amount recorded in current period earnings. We have certain interest rate swap derivatives that are designated as qualifying cash flow hedges and follow the accounting treatment discussed above. We also have certain interest rate swap derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, and accordingly, changes in fair values are recognized in current earnings.
We disclose the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. We also provide more information about our liquidity by disclosing derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, we cross-reference within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments; See Note 14 “Derivative Instruments” and Note 16 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments” for a further discussion of our derivative financial instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments
We elected to apply the fair value option for one of our eligible mortgage notes payable that was newly issued debt during the year ended December 31, 2008. The measurement of the elected mortgage note payable at its fair value and its impact on the statement of
69
operations is described in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements “Fair Value Option—Note Payable” and Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments.”
We generally determine or calculate the fair value of financial instruments using the appropriate present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating available market discount rate information for similar types of instruments and our estimates for non-performance and liquidity risk. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flow. The Investment Manager of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia applies valuation techniques for our investment carried at fair value based upon the application of the income approach, the direct market comparison approach, the replacement cost approach or third party appraisals to the underlying assets held in the unconsolidated entity in determining the net asset value attributable to our ownership interest therein. The financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated financial statements are the seven interest rate swaps, our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia (a real estate entity which qualifies as an investment company under the Investment Company Act with respect to its accounting treatment) and one mortgage note payable that is economically hedged by one of the interest rate swaps.
The remaining financial assets and liabilities which are only disclosed at fair value are comprised of all other notes payable, the unsecured line of credit and other debt instruments. We determined the fair value of our secured notes payable and other debt instruments by performing discounted cash flow analyses using an appropriate market discount rate. We calculate the market discount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) rates for variable-rate debt, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our debt and then adding an appropriate credit spread derived from information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit standing, the maturity of the debt, whether the debt is secured or unsecured, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
We adopted the fair value measurement criteria described herein for our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on January 1, 2009. The adoption of the fair value measurement criteria to our non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Assets and liabilities typically recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis include:
| ¡ | | Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in an acquisition or business combination; |
| ¡ | | Long-lived assets measured at fair value due to an impairment assessment and |
| ¡ | | Asset retirement obligations initially measured under the Codification Topic “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” (“FASB ASC 410”). |
Rental Operations
Our reportable segments consist of three types of commercial real estate properties for which our management internally evaluates operating performance and financial results: the Domestic Industrial Properties, Domestic Office Properties and International Office/Retail Properties. We evaluate the performance of our segments based on net operating income, defined as: rental income and tenant

(1) | Total Segment Net Operating Income is a Non-GAAP financial measure which may be useful as a supplemental measure for evaluating the relationship of each reporting segment to the combined total. This measure should not be viewed as an alternative measure of operating performance to our U.S. GAAP presentations provided. Segment “Net Operating Income” is defined as operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements and other property income) less property and related expenses (property expenses, including real estate taxes) before depreciation and amortization expense. The Net Operating Income segment information presented consists of the same Net Operating Income segment information disclosed in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. |
Consolidated Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012
Revenues
Rental
Rental revenue increased $8,721,000, or 25%, to $44,040,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $35,319,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of 2400 Dralle Road, Midwest Commerce Center I, 20000 S Diamond Lake Rd., Gateway at Riverside, 701 & 801 Charles Ewing Blvd. and Mid-Atlantic Distribution Center—Bldg. A (the “2012 Acquisitions”) during the year ended December 31, 2012 and the acquisitions of 1400 Atwater Drive and 17 properties acquired from the Duke joint venture (the “2013 Acquisitions”, together with the “2012 Acquisitions”, the “2012 and 2013 Acquisitions”) during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Tenant reimbursements increased $1,832,000, or 23%, to $9,912,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $8,080,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to tenant reimbursement revenue from the 2012 and 2013 Acquisitions.
Expenses
Operating and Maintenance
Property operating and maintenance expenses increased $679,000, or 13%, to $5,786,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $5,107,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to operating and maintenance expenses attributable to the 2012 and 2013 Acquisitions.
Property Taxes
Property tax expense increased $2,098,000, or 39%, to $7,474,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $5,376,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in property taxes was primarily due to the 2012 and 2013 Acquisitions.
Interest
Interest expense increased $548,000, or 6%, to $9,304,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $8,756,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily as a result of assumption of debt related to the 2013 acquisitions of Duke Realty’s 20% interest in 17 properties held by the Duke joint venture and associated with our unsecured credit facility and term loans.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense increased $2,970,000, or 137%, to $5,136,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $2,166,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Of the total increase, $1,548,000 was due to salary and other expenses incurred as a result of internalization of Chamber Street Properties management on July 1, 2012; $678,000 was due to the increase in legal and other professional fees; $440,000 was due to an increase in share based compensation to trustees and certain senior members of management; $152,000 was due to the increase in shareholders servicing fees and report production costs; $117,000 was due to the increase in directors’ and officers’ insurance and other expenses and $35,000 was due to an increase in audit, tax and Sarbanes Oxley assistance.
72
Property Management Fee and Investment Management Fee to Related Party
Property management fee and investment management fee to related party decreased $5,610,000, or 88%, to $734,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $6,344,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease is due to transition to self-management under the Transitional Services Agreement.
Acquisition Expenses
Acquisition expenses increased $462,000, or 34%, to $1,841,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1,379,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was due to the higher value of properties acquired during three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to those acquired during the same period in 2012.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4,028,000, or 22%, to $22,004,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $17,976,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The net increase was related to 2012 and 2013 Acquisitions.
Transition Costs
During three months ended March 31, 2013, we incurred $35,000 of transition costs in connection with our transition to self-management. There was no transition costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income decreased $854,000, or 80%, to $207,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1,061,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the recognition of revenue for the lease terminations at Fairforest Bldg. 3 in 2012.
Net Settlement Payments on Interest Rate Swaps
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we made net payments on interest rate swaps of $343,000 compared to $161,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase is a result of lower variable interest rates for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012.
(Loss) Gain on Interest Rate Swaps
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, our derivative instruments incurred a loss of $917,000 compared to a gain of $125,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 or a year to year change of $1,042,000. The year to year change is attributable to the upcoming 2013 Thames Valley five and Albion Mills Retail Park debt maturity and the loss of fair value on interest rate swaps on the TD and Wells Fargo loans.
Loss on Note Payable at Fair Value
Loss on the Albion Mills Retail Park note payable is $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $35,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The year to year valuation change is attributable to the upcoming Albion Mills Retail Park debt maturity in October 2013.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased $87,000, or 483%, to $69,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to a tax benefit of $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 resulting primarily from a refund of prior year taxes paid from North Carolina in 2012.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Entities
Equity in income of unconsolidated entities increased $3,822,000, or 705%, to $4,364,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $542,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to improved operating performance of the Duke joint venture and CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, the acquisition of Koblenz Distribution Center by the European JV and acquisition of Valley Park, Unit D by the UK JV.
73
Gain on Conversion of Equity Investment to Controlling Interest
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, gain on conversion of equity investment to controlling interest was $77,235,000 attributable to the acquisition of Duke Realty’s 20% interest in 17 properties held by the Duke joint venture. There was no gain on conversion of equity investment to controlling interest during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Operating Partnership Units
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $83,000 compared to a net loss attributable to non-controlling interest of $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, or a year to year increase of $85,000. The increase is due to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as opposed to net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Liquidity is a measurement of the ability to meet cash requirements, which principally include funding investments and ongoing commitments, to repay borrowings, to make distributions to our shareholders and other general business needs. We have suspended our share redemption plan and such plan will terminate upon the anticipated listing of our common shares on the NYSE. See “—Subsequent Events.” Our sources of funds will primarily be property operating cash flows and borrowings, including under our unsecured credit facility. Additionally, we expect other financing opportunities could provide additional sources of funds (including our anticipated listing, and future offerings of our common shares). We are no longer offering common shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan and such plan will terminate upon the anticipated listing of our common shares on the NYSE. See “-Subsequent Events.” Our ability to raise funds is dependent on general economic conditions, general market conditions for REITs, and our operating performance. We believe that these cash resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from other than these sources within the next twelve months. While we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain liquidity needs, there may be unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which would affect our financial condition and results of operations. For example, we may be required to comply with new laws or regulations that cause us to incur unanticipated capital expenditures for our properties, thereby increasing our liquidity needs. Even if there are no material changes to our anticipated liquidity requirements, our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or needed. Cash flow from operations is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent and operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating and other costs. The properties in our portfolio are located in markets throughout the United States. Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters in these markets may affect our overall performance. No single tenant accounted for more than 7.3% of our annualized base rent for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Depending on market conditions, our debt financing may be as much as approximately 65% of the value of the cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. The amount of debt we place on an individual property, or the amount of debt incurred by an individual entity in which we invest, may be more or less than 65% of the value of such property or the value of the assets owned by such entity, depending on market conditions and other factors.
In fact, depending on market conditions and other factors, we may choose not to place debt on our portfolio or our assets and may choose not to borrow to finance our operations or to acquire properties. Our declaration of trust currently limits our borrowing to 300% of our net assets unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent trustees and is disclosed to our shareholders in our next quarterly report. Our declaration of trust currently defines “net assets” as our total assets (other than intangibles) at cost, before deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts or other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities, calculated at least quarterly by us on a basis consistently applied; provided, however, that during such periods in which we are obtaining regular independent valuations of the current value of its net assets for purposes of enabling fiduciaries of employee benefit plan shareholders to comply with applicable Department of Labor reporting requirements, “net assets” means the greater of (i) the amount determined pursuant to the foregoing and (ii) the assets’ aggregate valuation established by the most recent such valuation report without reduction for depreciation, bad debts or other non-cash reserves. Any indebtedness we do incur will likely be subject to continuing covenants, and we will likely be required to make continuing representations and warranties in connection with such debt. Moreover, some or all of our debt may be secured by some or all of our assets. If we default in the payment of interest or principal on any such debt, breach any representation or warranty in connection with any borrowing or violate any covenant in any loan document, our lender may accelerate the maturity of such debt requiring us to immediately repay all outstanding principal. If we are unable to make such payment, our lender could foreclose on our assets that are pledged as collateral to such lender. The lender could also sue us or force us into bankruptcy. Any such event would have a material adverse effect on the value of our common shares. We believe that we have sufficient cash flow from operations to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future.
74
In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we have used, and may be required to use in the future, our capital resources to make certain payments to the former investment advisor or its affiliates. During the acquisition and operational stages, certain services related to the acquisition and management of our investments and our operations were provided to us by the former investment advisor pursuant to an advisory agreement entered into in July 2004 which was amended and restated in October 2006, in December 2010 and again in April 2012. The advisory agreement terminated according to its terms on June 30, 2012. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, we made various payments to the former investment advisor, including acquisition fees, investment management fees and payments for reimbursements of certain costs incurred by the former investment advisor in providing related services to us. We also made various payments to the former investment advisor pursuant to the Transitional Services Agreement which expired on April 30, 2013. See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements “Investment Management and Other Fees to Related Parties,” for a discussion of fees and expenses paid to the former investment advisor for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and for a discussion of our transition to self-management. Additionally, we also have issued to an affiliate of our former investment advisor one Class B limited partnership interest (representing 100% of the Class B interest outstanding) in CSP OP, which certain of our executive officers own an aggregate 15% distribution interest. For a description of the Class B interest, See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements “Investment Management and Other Fees to Related Parties.” If we list our common shares, we will be required to redeem the Class B interest at the time prescribed, and at an amount calculated, in accordance with the partnership agreement of CSP OP. Lastly, during the year ended December 31, 2012, we began the process of transitioning from being an externally managed company to a self-managed company and we believe the costs incurred to accomplish this transition involve many non-recurring costs which are being excluded to arrive at Core FFO.
In order to avoid corporate-level tax on our net taxable income, we are required to pay distributions to our shareholders equal to our net taxable income. In addition, to qualify as a REIT, we generally are required to pay annual distributions to our shareholders equal to at least 90% of our net ordinary taxable income. We anticipate borrowing funds to obtain additional capital to grow our business and acquire additional real estate investments, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
As of March 31, 2013, we had $66,692,000 cash and cash equivalents available as well as $629,956,000 available under the Unsecured Credit Facility.
We intend to list our common shares on the NYSE, which we expect to occur on or about May 21, 2013. Additionally, we intend to commence a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer (subject to all appropriate filings with the SEC) to purchase up to $125,000,000 of our common shares. Under the terms of the proposed tender offer, we intend to select the lowest price, not greater than $10.60 nor less than $10.10 per common share, net to the tendering shareholder in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, that will allow us to purchase up to $125,000,000 of our common shares or a lower amount depending upon the number of common shares properly tendered and not withdrawn. We expect to allow shareholders to tender all or a portion of their common shares in the tender offer. We intend to fund the tender offer with funds available under our unsecured credit facility. We expect to commence the proposed tender offer on or about May 21, 2013 in conjunction with the listing. For more information about the listing and tender offer, see “—Subsequent Events.”
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any securities of the Company. The tender offer will be made only pursuant to an offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and related materials that the Company intends to distribute to its shareholders and file with the SEC. The full details of the tender offer, including complete instructions on how to tender Shares, will be included in the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and other related materials, which the Company will distribute to shareholders and file with the SEC upon commencement of the tender offer.

Historical Cash Flows
Our net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $1,243,000 to $30,144,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $31,387,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was due to a number of factors, primarily the payment of expenses to related party during the three months ended March 31, 2013 that were accrued as of December 31, 2012.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $13,035,000 to $73,058,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $86,093,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was mainly due to a reduction in overall year-to-year capital spending. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we acquired 2400 Dralle Road, Valley Park, Unit D (UK JV) and expended funds on the 1400 Atwater development property. The funds expended on these 2012 transactions exceeded the funds required to purchase our partner’s 20% interest in 17 properties held by the Duke joint venture and our partner’s interest in 1400 Atwater during the three months ended March 13, 2013.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $116,786,000 to $2,548,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $119,334,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was due to a reduction in proceeds from our prior public offering of $171,256,000, an increase in shareholder redemptions of $17,461,000, an increase in distributions to shareholders of $2,574,000, an increase in deferred financing costs of $1,161,000 and a decrease of $966,000 relating to our Non-Controlling Interest-Variable Interest Entity offset by an increase in loan payable of $55,044,000, a decrease in payment of offering costs of $20,250,000, a reduction of principle payments of $974,000 and an increase of security deposits of $364,000.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds from Operations
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors consider presentations of operating results for REITs that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Consequently, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, created Funds from Operations, or FFO, as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance.
FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net income. FFO, as we define it, is presented as a supplemental financial measure. Management believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of REIT performance. FFO does not present, nor do we intend for it to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and/or operating performance. We believe that net income, as computed under GAAP, appropriately remains the primary measure of our performance and that FFO, when considered in conjunction with net income, improves the investing public’s understanding of the operating results of REITs and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful.
We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. Modifications to the NAREIT calculation of FFO are common among REITs, as companies seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their business and provide greater transparency to the investing public as to how our management team considers our results of operations. As a result, our FFO may not be comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. The revised NAREIT White Paper on FFO defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, impairment charges and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Management believes that NAREIT’s definition of FFO reflects the fact that real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time, and that depreciation charges required by GAAP do not always reflect the underlying economic realities. Likewise, the exclusion from NAREIT’s definition of FFO of impairment charges and gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT’s activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Thus, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. Management also believes that FFO provides useful information to the investment community about our financial performance when compared to other REITs, since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs.
However, changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that have been put into effect since the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in the non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO. We calculate Core FFO as FFO exclusive of the net effects of acquisition costs and unrealized gain/loss in investments in unconsolidated entities. Core FFO, is a useful measure to management’s decision-making process. As discussed below, period to period fluctuations in the excluded items can be driven by short-term factors that are not particularly relevant to our long-term investment decisions, long-term capital structures or long-term tax planning and tax structuring decisions.
76
We believe that Core FFO appropriately presents our results of operations on a comparative basis. The items that we exclude from net income are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause both positive and negative effects on our results of operations, often in inconsistent and unpredictable directions. For example, our acquisition costs are primarily the result of the volume of our acquisitions completed during each period, and therefore we believe such acquisition costs are not reflective of our operating results during each period. Similarly, unrealized gains or losses that we have recognized during a given period are based primarily upon changes in the estimated fair market value of certain of our investments due to changes in market conditions and do not necessarily reflect the operating performance of these properties during the corresponding period. Lastly, during the three month period ended June 30, 2012, the Company began the process of transitioning from being an externally managed company to a self-managed company and we believe the costs incurred to accomplish this transition involve many costs which are being excluded to arrive at Core FFO.
We believe that Core FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We believe that adjusting FFO to exclude acquisition costs provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time, including after we cease to acquire properties on a frequent and regular basis and allows for a comparison of the performance of our portfolio with other REITs that are not currently engaging in acquisitions. We also believe that Core FFO may provide investors with a useful indication of our future performance, particularly after our acquisition stage, and of the sustainability of our current distribution policy. However, because Core FFO excludes acquisition costs, which are important components in an analysis of our historical performance, such supplemental measure should not be construed as a historical performance measure and may not be as useful a measure for estimating the value of our common shares.
We calculate AFFO as Core FFO exclusive of the net effects of (i) amortization associated with deferred financings costs; (ii) amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles; (iii) amortization of premium on notes payable; (iv) deferred income taxes; (v) share-based and other non-cash compensation expense; (vi) deferred straight-line rental revenue; and (vii) recurring capital expenditures.
FFO, Core FFO and AFFO measure cash generated from operating activities not in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to (i) net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as indications of our financial performance, or (ii) to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, each of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Not all REITs calculate FFO, Core FFO and AFFO (or an equivalent measure), in the same manner and therefore comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.

Notes Payable
In connection with our acquisition of the Carolina Portfolio on August 30, 2007, we assumed 13 loans with principal balances totaling $66,110,000 ($62,944,000 at estimated fair value including the discount of $3,166,000) from various lenders that are secured by first deeds of trust on the properties and the assignment of related rents and leases. The loans bear interest at rates ranging from 4.98% to 6.33% per annum and mature between March 1, 2013 and February 1, 2025. The loans require monthly payments of interest and principal, fully amortized over the lives of the loans. Two of the 13 loans, North Rhett III and HJ Park – Bldg. 1, were paid off in full on November 22, 2011 and December 3, 2012, respectively. Principal payments totaling $983,000 were made during the three months ended March 31, 2013. We indemnify the lenders against environmental costs and expenses and guarantee the loans under certain conditions.
On December 27, 2007, we entered into a $9,000,000 financing agreement secured by the Bolingbrook Point III property with the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company. The loan is for a term of seven years and bears a fixed interest rate of 5.26% per annum with principal due at maturity. On January 14, 2011, we paid down $1,100,000 of principal in connection with the lease termination settlement with one of the tenants.
On May 30, 2008, we entered into a £7,500,000 financing arrangement with the Royal Bank of Scotland plc. secured by the Thames Valley Five property. On July 27, 2010 we paid down the loan by £1,860,000 leaving a loan balance of £5,640,000 ($8,575,000 at March 31, 2013). The loan is for a term of five years (with a two-year extension option) and bears interest at a variable rate adjusted quarterly, (based on nine month GBP-based LIBOR plus 1.01%. On August 14, 2008, we entered into the interest rate swap agreement that fixed the GBP-based LIBOR rate at 5.41% plus 1.01% or 6.42% per annum as of March 31, 2013, and expires on May 30, 2013. In conjunction with the loan paydown, we incurred a cost of £227,000 ($361,000 at August 3, 2010) to reduce the notional amount of the interest rate swap from £7,500,000 to £5,640,000.

Loans Payable
On May 26, 2010, we entered into a $70,000,000 revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. The initial maturity date of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility was May 26, 2014, however we could extend the maturity date to May 26, 2015, subject to certain conditions. $15,000,000 of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility was initially drawn upon closing on May 26, 2010, with $55,000,000 initially remaining available for disbursement during the term of the facility. We had the right to prepay any outstanding amount of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty at any time during the term of this Wells Fargo Credit Facility, however, we initially could not reduce the outstanding principal balance below a minimum outstanding amount of $15,000,000, without reducing the total $70,000,000 Wells Fargo Credit Facility capacity. Initially, the Wells Fargo Credit Facility had a floating interest rate of 300 basis points over LIBOR, however this interest rate would be at least 4.00% for any of the outstanding balance that was not subject to an interest rate swap with an initial term of at least two years.
Upon closing on May 26, 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to effectively fix the interest rate on the initial $15,000,000 outstanding loan amount at 5.10% for the four-year term of the facility. The interest rate swap was designated as a qualifying cash flow hedge at the start date of the hedge relationship as described in Note 15 “Derivative Instruments.” The Wells Fargo Credit Facility was initially secured by our 13201 Wilfred, 3011, 3055 & 3077 Comcast Place, 140 Depot Street, Crest Ridge Corporate Center I and West Point Trade Center properties. In addition, CSP OP provided a limited guarantee for the Wells Fargo Credit Facility.
On August 31, 2010, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to expand the Wells Fargo Credit Facility from its initial capacity of $70,000,000 to an amended capacity of $125,000,000 (the “Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility”). In connection with the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility, the minimum outstanding amount was increased to $25,000,000 and as such an additional $10,000,000 was drawn (in addition to the $15,000,000 initially drawn on May 26, 2010) with the remaining $100,000,000 available for disbursement during the term of the facility. The Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility was secured by an additional three of our properties, for a total of eight properties in all: 13201 Wilfred Lane, 3011, 3055 & 3077 Comcast Place, 140 Depot Street, Crest Ridge Corporate Center, West Point Trade Center, 5160 Hacienda Drive, 10450 Pacific Center Court and 225 Summit Avenue. The interest rate was reduced by 25 basis points to 275 basis points over LIBOR (which rate would apply to all withdrawals from the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility other than the initial $15,000,000 that was drawn on May 26, 2010) and the initial interest rate floor of 4.00% was eliminated. The initial maturity date remained May 26, 2014, however we could extend the maturity date to May 26, 2015, subject to certain conditions. The Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility was replaced with the Unsecured Credit Facility as set forth below.
On September 13, 2012, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders to provide CSP OP with an unsecured, revolving credit facility (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”) with an initial capacity of $700,000,000. The Unsecured Credit Facility replaced the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility, which was terminated concurrently with the closing of the Unsecured Credit Facility. The Company paid the $25,000,000 outstanding balance of the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility with cash on hand and expensed the unamortized deferred financing costs associated with obtaining the loan totaling $1,191,000. During the year ended
80
December 31, 2012, $265,000,000 was drawn under the Unsecured Credit Facility with the remaining $435,000,000 available for disbursement during the term of the facility. The $265,000,000 is included in Loan Payable on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012. The Unsecured Credit Facility has a term of four years, which term may be extended for one year at the option of CSP OP provided that CSP OP is not then in default and upon payment of customary extension fees. The Unsecured Credit Facility has no minimum outstanding balance requirements. Under certain circumstances, CSP OP may request an increase in the capacity of the Unsecured Credit Facility by up to an additional $700,000,000, to an aggregate size of $1,400,000,000, although none of the lenders has any obligation to participate in such increase. The Unsecured Credit Facility includes a $25,000,000 swingline sub-facility and a $25,000,000 letter of credit sub-facility. CSP OP paid customary arrangement and commitment fees to the lenders in connection with the Unsecured Credit Facility. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have provided a guaranty in connection with the Unsecured Credit Facility.
The loans under the Unsecured Credit Facility will bear interest, at CSP OP’s election, based on (i) LIBOR, for interest periods of one, three or six months, plus the applicable margin, or (ii) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus the applicable margin (if the LIBOR Market Index Rate is unavailable, the per annum rate of interest would be the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.5%, plus the applicable margin). The LIBOR Market Index Rate is LIBOR in respect of loans of one-month interest periods, determined on a daily basis, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin is (i) for periods prior to the Company or CSP OP having a credit rating, based on the Company’s then current leverage ratio, and (ii) during such periods when the Company or CSP OP has a credit rating, based on its then current credit rating. The applicable margin can vary from (i) 1.60% to 2.35% based upon the then current leverage ratio, or (ii) 1.00% to 1.80% based upon a then current credit rating of the Company or CSP OP. As of the closing of the Unsecured Credit Facility, the current stated applicable margin was 1.60%. CSP OP will pay customary fees in connection with borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility. Further, CSP OP may prepay any revolving or swingline loan, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty. As of March 31, 2013, outstanding borrowings of $70,044,000 bear interest at a rate of 1.81% based on 1.60% over the one month LIBOR.
Under the Unsecured Credit Facility, the Company will be subject to certain financial covenants that require, among other things: the maintenance of (i) a leverage ratio of not more than 0.60; (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.50; (iii) a secured leverage ratio of not more than (a) 0.45 prior to the Unsecured Credit Facility’s second anniversary, or (b) 0.40 thereafter; (iv) an unencumbered leverage ratio of not more than 0.60; (v) a ratio of unencumbered net operating income to unsecured interest expense of at least 1.75 (unless the Company or CSP OP obtains an investment grade credit rating, in which case this requirement is eliminated); (vi) minimum tangible net worth of $1,653,403,000 plus 85% of the net proceeds of certain future equity issuances; and (vii) unencumbered asset value of at least $400,000,000. In addition, the Unsecured Credit Facility contains a number of customary non-financial covenants including those restricting liens, mergers, sales of assets, certain investments in unimproved land and mortgage receivables, intercompany transfers, transactions with affiliates and distributions.
On March 6, 2013, we entered into an unsecured term loan in the amount of $50,000,000 with TD Bank, N.A (the “TD Term Loan”). Upon closing the TD Term Loan, we simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap agreement with TD Bank to effectively fix the interest rate on the TD Term Loan at 3.425% per annum for its seven-year term, based upon the TD Term Loan’s current stated applicable margin, which may vary during its term based upon the then current leverage ratio or our then current credit rating. The TD Term Loan contains customary representations and warrants and covenants. We used the proceeds of the TD Term Loan to repay a portion of our borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility.
On March 7, 2013, we entered into an unsecured term loan (the “Wells Fargo Term Loan”) in the amount of $200,000,000 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and certain other lenders defined in the Wells Fargo Term Loan. Upon closing the Wells Fargo Term Loan, we simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo to effectively fix the interest rate on the Wells Fargo Term Loan at 2.4885% per annum for its five-year term, based upon the Wells Fargo Term Loan’s current stated applicable margin, which may vary based upon the then current leverage ratio, or our then current credit rating. The Wells Fargo Term Loan contains customary representations and warrants and covenants. We used the proceeds of the Wells Fargo Term Loan to repay a portion of our borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility.
On March 7, 2013, we entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the credit agreement entered into on September 13, 2012 with a group of lenders, which provided us with an unsecured, revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $700,000,000. The First Amendment modified the Unsecured Credit Facility to among other things: (i) amend certain definitions, (ii) amend certain requirements of the guarantor, (iii) amend the requirements relating to quarterly financial statements, annual statements, compliance certificates and certain other SEC filings, (iv) amend the requirements relating to electronic delivery of information, (v) provide the Company with an option to restate the tangible net worth covenant in the event of a redemption event, (vi) remove the restriction on negative pledges, (vii) amend the restrictions on intercompany transfers and(viii) amend certain disclosure and confidentiality provisions.

Distribution Policy
In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we generally must make distributions to our shareholders each year in an amount at least equal to 90% of our REIT taxable income (as determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Historically, we calculated our quarterly distribution based upon daily record dates and distribution declaration dates. Our Board of Trustees has determined that, beginning with the second quarter of 2013, quarterly distributions will be calculated based upon quarterly record date and distribution declaration dates. Our distribution policy is subject to revision at the discretion of our Board of Trustees without notice to you or shareholder approval. All distributions will be made by us at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will be based upon out Board of Trustee’s evaluation of our assets, operating results, historical and projected cash flows (and source thereof), historical and projected equity offering proceeds from our offerings, historical and projected debt incurred, projected investments and capital requirements, the anticipated timing between receipt of our equity offering proceeds and investment of those proceeds, maintenance of REIT qualifications, applicable provisions of Maryland law, general economic, market and industry conditions, any liquidity event options we may pursue, and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant. We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay or maintain the levels of distributions we have historically paid or that distributions will increase over time.
It is anticipated that distributions generally will be taxable as ordinary income to our shareholders, although a portion of such distributions may be designated by us as a return of capital or as capital gain. We will furnish annually to each of our shareholders a statement setting forth distributions paid during the preceding year and their characterization as ordinary income, return of capital or capital gains.

For a discussion of our supplemental financial measures, see “—Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds from Operations.”
To the extent that our cash available for distribution is less than the amount we are required to distribute to qualify as a REIT, we may consider various funding sources to cover any shortfall, including borrowing funds on a short-term, or possibly long-term, basis or selling properties. In addition, we may utilize these funding sources to make distributions that exceed the amount we are required to distribute to qualify as a REIT.

Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income that we distribute currently to our shareholders. Under the Internal Revenue Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they generally distribute at least 90% of their annual net taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to their shareholders. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any year, our income will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following our failure to qualify. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may still be subject to state, local and foreign taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed gross income. Our properties located in Texas are subject to a Texas Gross Margin Tax, Deerfield Commons I is subject to a Georgia Net Worth Tax, properties located in Massachusetts are subject to a Massachusetts Net Worth Tax and properties located in North Carolina are subject to a North Carolina Franchise Tax under which we incurred a total of approximately $69,000 and ($18,000) of taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Inflation
The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past several years due to the relatively low inflation rate. We expect to include provisions in the majority of our tenant leases designed to protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions will include reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain allowance. Due to the generally long-term nature of these leases, annual rent increases may not be sufficient to cover inflation and rent may be below market.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we expect that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk.
We may be exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

Upon the maturity of our debt, there is a market risk as to the prevailing rates at the time of refinancing. Changes in market rates on our fixed-rate debt affect the fair market value of our debt but it has no impact on interest expense or cash flow. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on our fixed rate debt would not increase or decrease our annual interest expense on our fixed rate debt.

The fair value of long-term debt was estimated based on current interest rates available to us for debt instruments with similar terms. The following tables summarize our financial instruments and their calculated fair value at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |

A 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease the fair market value of our notes payable by $27,221,000 at March 31, 2013. In addition, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would either increase or decrease annual variable interest expense as follows; approximately $86,000 on the Thames Valley Five property, approximately $88,000 on the Albion Mills Retail Park property and approximately $212,000 on the Maskew Retail Park property.

Subsequent Events
On April 26, 2013, our Board of Trustees determined that it is in the best interest of us and our shareholders to list our common shares of beneficial interest on a national securities exchange. We intend to list our common shares of beneficial interest on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “CSG.” We anticipate that our common shares of beneficial interest will be listed on the NYSE on or about May 21, 2013 (the “Listing”). The completion of the Listing is subject to certain conditions.
We also intend to commence a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer (subject to all appropriate filings with the SEC) to purchase up to $125,000,000 of our common shares of beneficial interest. Under the terms of the proposed tender offer, we intend to select the lowest price, not greater than $10.60 nor less than $10.10 per common share of beneficial interest, net to the tendering shareholder in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, that will allow us to purchase up to $125,000,000 of our common shares of beneficial interests or a lower amount depending upon the number of common shares properly tendered and not withdrawn. We
89
expect to allow shareholders to tender all or a portion of their common shares in the tender offer. In the event that the tender offer is oversubscribed, proration of tendered common shares will be calculated promptly after the tender offer expires. We intend to fund the tender offer with funds available under the Unsecured Credit Facility. We expect to commence the proposed tender offer on or about May 21, 2013 in conjunction with the Listing. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. will be the Dealer Managers for the proposed tender offer.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any securities of the Company.

Shareholders are urged to carefully read the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and other related materials when they become available because they will contain important information, including the terms and conditions of the tender offer. Shareholders may obtain free copies of the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and other related materials that the Company files with the SEC at the SEC’s website athttp://www.sec.gov or by calling the information agent for the contemplated tender offer, who will be identified in the materials filed with the SEC at the commencement of the tender offer.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have formally adopted a policy for disclosure controls and procedures that provides guidance on the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and is designed to ensure that all corporate disclosure is complete and accurate in all material respects and that all information required to be disclosed in the periodic reports submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods and in the manner specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial offer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within our company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, as required by the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13(a)-15(e), our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
No changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
