NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited)
1. Organization and Nature of Business
Chambers Street Properties (NYSE: CSG) is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that is focused on acquiring, owning and operating net-leased industrial and office properties, leased to creditworthy tenants. We were formed under the laws of the state of Maryland on March 30, 2004, and have elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Internal Revenue Code") beginning with the taxable period ended December 31, 2004.
We operate in an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which our operating partnership, CSP Operating Partnership, LP ("CSP OP"), indirectly owns substantially all of the properties acquired on our behalf. CSP OP was formed in Delaware on March 30, 2004, and we are its majority owner and sole general partner. For each interest in our common shares of beneficial interest $0.01 par value (the "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. On August 19, 2013, we redeemed for cash 246,361 Class A limited partnership units, representing approximately a 0.10% ownership of the total limited partnership units, which were owned by CBRE REIT Holdings, LLC ("REIT Holdings"), an affiliate of CBRE Advisors LLC (the "former investment advisor"). As a result, as of September 30, 2013, we owned 100% of the Class A limited partnership units of CSP OP. 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").
Prior to July 1, 2012, all of our business activities were managed by the former investment advisor pursuant to advisory agreements. On July 1, 2012, we became a self-managed company and changed our name from CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust to Chambers Street Properties in accordance with a plan determined by our Board of Trustees. In addition, as of April 30, 2013, the transitional services agreement with CSP OP ("Transitional Services Agreement") and the former investment advisor that we had entered into as part of our transition to a self-managed company ended and we are now 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 performed by our employees, with certain services provided by third parties at market rates.
On May 21, 2013, we listed our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "CSG" (the "Listing") and concurrently commenced a modified "Dutch Auction" tender offer to purchase up to $125.0 million in value of the common shares (the "Tender Offer") from our shareholders. As a result of the Tender Offer, on June 26, 2013, we accepted for purchase 12,376,235 common shares at a purchase price of $10.10 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $125.0 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Tender Offer. As of September 30, 2013, we had 236,463,981 common shares issued and outstanding.
As of September 30, 2013, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 101 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution), 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 22.8 million net rentable square feet. Our consolidated properties were approximately 94.4% leased (based upon rentable square feet) as of September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, 74 of our consolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 18.1 million rentable square feet.
We had ownership interests in five unconsolidated entities that, as of September 30, 2013, owned interests in 33 properties. Excluding those properties owned through our investment in CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners Asia II-A, L.P. ("CBRE Strategic Partners Asia"), we owned, on an unconsolidated basis, 30 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution), 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 other parts of Europe, encompassing approximately 11.7 million rentable square feet. Our unconsolidated properties were approximately 99.1% leased (based upon rentable square feet) as of September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, 18 of our unconsolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 10.2 million rentable square feet.
Unless the context otherwise requires or indicates, references to, "we," "our" and "us" refer to the activities of and the assets and liabilities of the business and operations of Chambers Street Properties and its subsidiaries.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and reflect the accounts of the Company, CSP OP and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company consolidates its wholly-owned properties and joint ventures it controls through either 1) voting rights or similar rights or 2) by means other than voting rights if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Certain information and footnotes required for annual financial statement presentation have been condensed or excluded pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (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. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2013 have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year. The 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.
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.
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 $15.2 million and $17.8 million as security for such leases at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
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 $23,000 and $11,000 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
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 $1.6186 and $1.6242 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The profit
CHAMBERS STREET PROPERTIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited)
and loss weighted average exchange rate of the USD to the GBP was approximately $1.5301 and $1.5755 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively; and $1.5449 and $1.5790 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The carrying value of our assets and liabilities held within our joint venture in Europe (the "European JV") fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rate between the USD and the EUR. The exchange rate of the USD to the EUR was $1.3524 and $1.3189 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The profit and loss weighted average exchange rate of the USD to the EUR was approximately $1.3175 and $1.2510 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively; and $1.3146 and $1.2859 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Transition and Listing Expenses
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 included 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, exploring and implementing strategic alternatives for information technology, office space and personnel needs, among other expenses. The Transition Costs were primarily incurred during 2012, with the exception of $0.7 million incurred during 2013 as a final settlement of the Transition Services Agreement. Transition Costs of $6.2 million and $8.2 million were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
We incurred certain costs in connection with our Listing and our Tender Offer in 2013. These listing expenses consisted of legal, investment banking, share-based compensation, consulting and other third-party service provider costs incurred by us in order to complete our Listing and Tender Offer. Listing costs totaling $1.4 million and $11.9 million were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Of the listing expenses incurred through September 30, 2013, $3.8 million was attributable to share-based compensation.
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 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 September 30, 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 $54,000, $75,000, $0.3 million and $0.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 $0.8 million consisting of these net operating loss carryforwards. We have provided for a full valuation allowance of $0.8 million as of September 30, 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.
Reclassifications
To better present our condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of operations we have chosen to combine certain line items together instead of disclosing them as separate line items.
CHAMBERS STREET PROPERTIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited)
In addition, we have reclassified certain amounts in our previously issued balance sheets and statements of operations to conform to current period presentations. On our balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, we have reclassified $8.2 million related to prepaid rents from "Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities" to "Prepaid Rent and Security Deposits", which represents a newly created line item.
We have reclassified amounts related to property management general and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $379,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, from "General and Administrative" expense to "Property Operating" expense, which represents a newly created line item.
None of the reclassifications reflect corrections of any amounts.
New Accounting Standards
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-1, 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.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-2, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2013-2"). 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.
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.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-10, Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (Topic 815), which permits for the inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (OIS) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government (UST), and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The ASU amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark interest rates for similar hedges. ASU No. 2013-10 is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.
3. Investment in Real Estate Activity
Wholly-Owned Property Acquisitions
On July 31, 2013, we acquired the Carpenter Corporate Center I & II ("Carpenter Center"), located in Irving, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. We acquired Carpenter Center for approximately $49.5 million, exclusive of customary closing costs. The acquisition was funded using borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. Carpenter Center is a 226,822 square foot office complex and is 100% net leased to Corphealth, Inc. through June 2023. Corphealth, Inc. is a subsidiary of Humana, Inc., a large health care company.
On August 8, 2013, we acquired 1200 Woods Chapel Road, ("1200 Woods Chapel") located in Duncan, South Carolina, a suburb of Spartanburg. We acquired 1200 Woods Chapel for approximately $10.8 million exclusive of customary closing costs. The acquisition was funded using borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. 1200 Woods Chapel is a 156,800 square foot warehouse/distribution building and is 100% net leased to Lear Operations Corporation, through April 2019. Lear Operations Corporation is a subsidiary of Lear Corporation, a large supplier of automotive seating and electrical power management systems.

Purchase of Outside Equity Interests in Properties
On January 30, 2013, we completed construction of a build-to-suit project at 1400 Atwater Drive located in Malvern, Pensylvania. The project had previously been accounted for as a consolidated VIE and all activity had been included on the consolidated balance sheet as Construction in progress - VIE. Upon substantial completion of construction, we acquired our outside partner's 5% interest in the project for approximately $3.4 million.
On March 1, 2013, we acquired the remaining 20% interest in 17 properties that were held in a joint venture with Duke Realty ("Duke Portfolio"). The properties are located in the submarkets of Phoenix, Raleigh/Durham, Houston, Columbus, Cincinnati, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Minneapolis and Dallas and consisted of 16 office buildings and one warehouse/distribution 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 JV (80% to CSP OP and 20% to 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. CSP OP paid Duke Realty approximately $98.1 million to acquire the remaining 20% interest in these properties, corresponding to a valuation of approximately $490.7 million for a 100% interest in these properties. The transaction constituted a change in control of the previously unconsolidated 17 properties, which required a remeasurement of the net assets acquired to fair value. This resulted in a gain of $75.5 million upon acquisition.
The following table summarizes the results from continuing operations since the consolidation of the Duke Portfolio on March 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013 (in thousands). We previously included the results from operations of the Duke Portfolio in equity in earnings.

Unsecured Term Loan Facilities
On March 6, 2013, we entered into an unsecured term loan in the amount of $50.0 million (the"TD Term Loan") with TD Bank, N.A ("TD Bank"). 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 then current stated applicable margin. This applicable margin, and therefore the effective interest rate on the TD Term Loan, may vary during its term by an increase of up to 0.75% based upon the then current leverage ratio. In the event that the Company obtains a credit rating, the applicable margin on the TD Term Loan can vary from a 0.60% reduction to a 0.20% increase based upon our then current credit rating. The TD Term Loan contains customary representations and warranties and covenants. We used the proceeds of the TD Term Loan to repay a portion of our borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

On March 7, 2013, we entered into an unsecured term loan in the amount of $200.0 million (the "WF Term Loan #1") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo Bank") and certain other lenders. Upon closing the WF Term Loan #1, we simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank to effectively fix the interest rate on the WF Term Loan #1 at 2.4885% per annum for its five-year term, based upon the WF Term Loan #1's then current stated applicable margin. This applicable margin, and therefore the effective interest rate on the WF Term Loan #1, may vary during its term by an increase of up to 0.60% based upon the then current leverage ratio. In the event that the Company obtains a credit rating, the applicable margin on the WF Term Loan #1 can vary from a 0.40% reduction to a 0.50% increase based upon our then current credit rating. The WF Term Loan #1 contains customary representations and warrants and covenants. We used the proceeds to repay a portion of our borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.
On September 12, 2013, we entered into an unsecured term loan in the amount of $120.0 million (the "Capital One Term Loan") with Capital One, National Association ("Capital One") and certain other lenders. Upon closing the Capital One Term Loan, we simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Capital One to effectively fix the interest rate on the Capital One Term Loan at 4.42125% per annum for its entire term until the Capital One Term Loan's scheduled maturity on January 31, 2021, based upon the Capital One Term Loan's current stated applicable margin. This applicable margin, and therefore the effective interest rate on the Capital One Term Loan, may vary during its term from a 0.20% reduction to a 0.35% increase based upon the then current leverage ratio. In the event the Company obtains a credit rating, the applicable margin on the Capital One Term Loan can vary from a 0.55% reduction to a 0.25% increase based upon our then current credit rating. We used the majority of the proceeds to repay a portion of our borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.
On September 26, 2013, in connection with the second amendment to the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank (the "Second Amendment") (see additional information below under "Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility"), our WF Term Loan #1 was replaced with a new unsecured term loan (the "WF Term Loan #2") with the same amount of $200.0 million and the same maturity date of March 7, 2018 as for the WF Term Loan #1. The existing swap agreement entered into on March 7, 2013 upon closing of the WF Term Loan #1 remained in place and is now applicable to the WF Term Loan #2 in order to effectively fix its interest rate at 2.6385% per annum for its term, based upon the WF Term Loan #2's current stated applicable margin. In addition, on September 26, 2013, and also in connection with the Second Amendment (see additional information below under "Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility"), we entered into a new $200.0 million unsecured term loan (the "WF Term Loan #3"). Upon closing the WF Term Loan #3, we simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively fix the interest rate on the WF Term Loan #3 at 3.274% per annum for its entire term until the WF Term Loan #3's scheduled maturity on January 15, 2019, based upon the WF Term Loan #3's current stated applicable margin. The applicable margin on both the WF Term Loan #2 and the WF Term Loan #3, and therefore the effective interest rate on both of these loans, may vary during their terms from a 0.20% reduction to a 0.35% increase based upon the then current leverage ratio. In the event the Company obtains a credit rating, the applicable margin on the WF Term Loan #2 and the WF Term Loan #3 can vary from a 0.70% reduction to a 0.30% increase based upon our then current credit rating. We used the majority of the WF Term Loan #3 proceeds to repay a portion of our borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

(2) | The unused fee is paid on a quarterly basis and may be reduced to 25bps of the unused amount if our unsecured revolving credit facility utilization is greater than 50% of its capacity. |
| |
(3) | Under the original and amended terms of our unsecured revolving credit facility, we may exercise an option to extend the maturity date by one year. |
On September 13, 2012, we entered into a credit agreement with a group of lenders to provide us with an unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial capacity of $700.0 million (the "Credit Agreement"). This unsecured revolving credit facility had a term of four years, which term may have been extended for one year at our option provided that we were not then in default and upon payment of customary extension fees.
On March 7, 2013, we entered into a First Amendment to our Credit Agreement (the "First Amendment"). The First Amendment modified our unsecured revolving 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.
On September 26, 2013, we entered into the Second Amendment to our Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment modified our unsecured revolving credit facility to increase its capacity from $700.0 million to $850.0 million. The unsecured revolving credit facility's term was extended to January 15, 2018, which may be extended for one year at our option upon the payment of customary extension fees, provided that we are not then in default. The unsecured revolving credit facility has no minimum outstanding balance requirements. The applicable margin on the unsecured revolving credit facility can vary from (i) 1.50% to 2.05% based upon the Company's then current leverage ratio. In the event the Company obtains a credit rating, the applicable margin on the unsecured revolving credit facility can vary from 0.90% to 1.70% based upon the then current credit rating of the Company or CSP OP.
Debt Covenants and Restrictions
Certain of our secured notes payable are subject to certain financial covenants (interest coverage and loan to value).
As of September 30, 2013, our unsecured term loan facilities and revolving credit facility were 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 September 13, 2014, 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 $1.5 billion plus 85% of the net proceeds of certain future equity issuances; and (vii) unencumbered asset value of at least $400.0 million. In addition, our unsecured term loan facilities and revolving credit facility contain 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. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have provided guarantees in connection with our unsecured term loan facilities and revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

7. Risk Management and Use of Financial Instruments
Risk Management
In the course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. We are subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing liabilities. Credit risk is primarily the risk of inability or unwillingness of tenants to make contractually required payments and of counterparties on derivatives contracts to fulfill their obligations. Market risk is the risk of declines in the value of our properties due to changes in rental rates, interest rates, supply and demand of similar products and other market factors affecting the valuation of properties.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We utilize interest rate swaps to mitigate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on our variable-rate loans. Our strategy is to use a swap to convert the floating-rate borrowing (usually a secured note payable or an unsecured term loan facility) where LIBOR is consistently applied into a fixed-rate obligation with the only variable piece remaining is the spread between different reset dates when/if the swap and debt are not lined up. We generally enter into an interest rate swap agreement concurrently with the origination of the variable-rate loan for an equivalent principal amount for a period covering the term of the loan, which effectively converts our variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate loan. Our use of derivative instruments, including swaps, is limited by policy to hedging or mitigating commercial risk and we do not use derivative instruments for speculative, trading or investment purposes.
The following table sets forth the terms of our interest rate swaps at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (amounts in thousands):

Concentration of Credit Risk
Our credit risk relates primarily to cash, restricted cash, and interest rate swap agreements. Cash accounts at each U.S. 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.
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. In addition, we do not have any tenant whose rents exceeds 10% of our total rental revenue.

9. Related Party Transactions
Prior to July 1, 2012, all of our business activities were managed by the former investment advisor pursuant to the fourth amended and restated advisory agreement ("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 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. As part of the Transitional Services Agreement, we paid $2.5 million on the effective date of the agreement to reimburse the former investment advisor for expenses incurred related to personnel costs. In addition, during 2013, we paid $0.7 million to the former investment advisor as a final settlement of the Transitional Services Agreement.
Pursuant to the Transitional Services Agreement, for 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 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.
Previously, pursuant to the Fourth Amended Advisory Agreement and the Transitional Services Agreement, the former investment advisor and its affiliates performed services relating to property management, leasing, construction supervision and management, and brokerage services.

(1) | Such fees for each service ranged from 2.0% to 5.0% of gross revenues received from a property that we owned. |
| |
(2) | The brokerage fee upon the sale of properties was 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. |
As required by the Transitional Services Agreement, we and the former investment advisor have agreed on a list of unacquired real estate investments for which the former investment advisor has performed certain acquisition related consulting services prior to the termination of the Transitional Service Agreement (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. As of September 30, 2013, we have not acquired any Qualifying Property.
As of September 30, 2013, $0.1 million of amounts due to the former investment advisor for third party management fees was included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. All outstanding investment advisor-related fees have been paid as of September 30, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, $11.1 million of amounts due to the former investment advisor was included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Class B Interest
For a discussion of the Class B Interest owned by an affiliate of our former investment advisor, see Note 10 below.

Non-Controlling Interest Operating Partnership Units
As of September 30, 2013, we owned 100% of the Class A limited partnership units of CSP OP. As of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, we owned 99.90% of the Class A limited partnership units of CSP OP. The remaining 0.10% Class A limited partnership units of CSP OP, as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, were owned by REIT Holdings in the form of 246,361 Class A limited 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.
CHAMBERS STREET PROPERTIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited)
On August 19, 2013, we redeemed for cash 246,361 Class A limited partnership units for $2.2 million, which were owned by REIT Holdings. In connection with the redemption, certain of the Company's officers and employees received a cash distribution from REIT Holdings with respect to their distribution interests they held in REIT Holdings.
Class B Interest
In exchange for services provided to the Company with respect to its formation and subsequent operations, REIT Holdings was granted the Class B Interest in CSP OP, the terms of which are more fully described in the third amended and restated agreement of limited partnership of CSP OP (the "Third Amended Partnership Agreement"). REIT Holdings is an affiliate of the former investment advisor and certain of the Company’s officers and employees own distribution interests in REIT Holdings. A mandatory redemption of the Class B Interest by CSP OP was triggered by the Listing.
The consideration (if any) to be received by REIT Holdings for the Class B Interest ("Consideration") will be 15% of the total market value of the Company’s listed common shares above a threshold amount (the "Class B Return Threshold") equal to (i) the total capital contributions made to CSP OP by us and (ii) a 7% annual, uncompounded return on such capital contributions. The calculation of the Consideration (if any) will be based upon the total number of our listed common shares multiplied by the average per share closing price of our common shares for the 30 day period (the "30-Day Market Value") beginning on October 19, 2013, which is the 151st day after the Listing, and ending on November 17, 2013, which is the 180th day after the Listing. The Consideration (if any) will therefore be 15% of the amount by which the 30-Day Market Value exceeds the Class B Return Threshold. The Company currently estimates the Class B Return Threshold to be an amount equal to the total number of our listed common shares multiplied by approximately $10.13 per share. If, however, the 30-Day Market Value does not exceed the Class B Return Threshold, the Class B interest will be redeemed at no cost and will no longer be outstanding. Consideration (if any) will be paid within 10 business days of the determination of the 30-Day Market Value, and may be in the form of cash or common shares as determined by the Company’s Board of Trustees.
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 us. Consequently, we recognized an expense of $0.2 million 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.
11. Equity Incentive Plan and Performance Bonus Plan
Equity Incentive Plan
At our annual shareholders' meeting held on May 31, 2013, our shareholders approved the 2013 equity incentive plan. A description of the material terms of the 2013 equity incentive plan, as well as a copy of the 2013 equity incentive plan, were included in our definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 12, 2013. Our key employees, directors, trustees, officers, advisors, consultants or other personnel of ours and our subsidiaries or other persons expected to provide significant services to us or our subsidiaries would be eligible to be granted incentive share options, non-qualified share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards as contemplated in the 2013 equity incentive plan. As of September 30, 2013, there were 4,597,500 common shares available for grant under the 2013 equity incentive plan.
On February 7, 2013, our Board's independent trustees, Messrs. Black, Orphanides and Salvatore, were awarded equity grants under the amended and restated 2004 equity incentive plan on the following terms: (i) (x) Mr. Black's award was for $100,000 in common shares and (y) Messrs. Orphanides and Salvatore each were awarded $25,000 in common shares for a total of $150,000; and (ii) each award vested in its entirety, upon issuance.
On March 15, 2013, a total of 281,625 restricted common shares were granted to our named executive officers (Messrs. Cuneo, Kianka and Reid) based on each executive's achievement of performance objectives during 2012, as determined at the discretion of our Compensation Committee. Additionally, 21 of our employees were granted 117,300 restricted common shares, in the aggregate, on March 15, 2013. One-third of the restricted shares granted to our named executive officers and employees will vest in each of the first three anniversaries of grant if the grantee is employed by the Company on such anniversary. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service vesting period of three years and takes into consideration an estimated forfeiture rate of 5%. We recognized share-based compensation

12. Shareholders' Equity
Common Shares
Under our current declaration of trust, we have the authority to issue a total of 1,000,000,000 shares of beneficial interest. Of the total shares authorized, 990,000,000 shares are designated as common shares, with a par value of $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred shares, with a par value of $0.01 per share.
On May 21, 2013, we listed our common shares on the NYSE under the symbol "CSG" (the "Listing") and concurrently commenced the $125.0 million Tender Offer from our shareholders. As a result of the Tender Offer, on June 26, 2013, we accepted for purchase 12,376,235 common shares at a purchase price of $10.10 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $125.0 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Tender Offer.
In connection with the Listing, we terminated the dividend reinvestment plan effective as of the close of business on May 21, 2013. As of the close of business on May 21, 2013, we had issued a total of 8,869,829 common shares pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan, and received approximately $84.3 million in gross proceeds.
In connection with the Listing, we terminated our former share redemption program effective as of the close of business on May 21, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we repurchased 4,996,936 common shares and 3,841,599 common shares, respectively, under our former share redemption program for $47.4 million and $35.9 million, respectively.
On July 8, 2013, we eliminated all outstanding fractional common shares (the "Fractional Shares") by paying each holder of a Fractional Share an amount in cash equal to the fraction of a share being repurchased multiplied by the closing price of our common shares on the NYSE, as of the date of payment, rounded up to the nearest cent.
On August 4, 2013, our Board of Trustees determined that, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, we will transition from quarterly distributions to paying distributions on a monthly basis as calculated pursuant to monthly record dates and distribution declaration dates.

13. 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 debt secured by Albion Mills Retail Park as Level 3 as of September 30, 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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we held certain items that were 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-Accounting, 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 September 30, 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 a mix of different approaches for valuing the underlying real estate related investments within the investment company. The approaches include the income approach, direct market comparison approach and the replacement cost approach for newer 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.

(1) | Level 3: For purposes of this fair value disclosure, we based our fair value estimate for notes payable on our internal valuation that includes a representative sample of our lenders’ market interest rate quotes as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 for debt with similar risk characteristics and maturities. We based our notes payable secured by our Albion Mills property carried at fair value on a third party appraiser’s valuation, which used similar techniques as our internal valuation model as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. |

We have classified the notes payable secured by Albion Mills as Level 3 as of September 30, 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 debt.
14. Commitments and Contingencies
On June 13, 2013, the European JV entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire, subject to customary closing conditions, Lauwin-Planque Distribution Center ("Lille"), located in Lille, France. The European JV will acquire Lille for approximately €51.2 million, (approximately $69.6 million assuming an exchange rate of €1.00: $1.36 or $55.7 million at our 80% pro rata share), exclusive of customary closing costs. We own an 80% interest in the joint venture and Goodman owns a 20% interest. We expect to fund our pro rata share of the acquisition using borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. Lille, scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013, will be a 774,526 square foot fulfillment center that is 100% leased to Amazon.fr Logistique for twelve years with 100% annual CPI adjustments (capped at 3%). The lease is guaranteed by Amazon EU s.a.r.l., the principal operating subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. in continental Europe. While the European JV expects this acquisition to close during the fourth quarter of 2013, the agreement to acquire the property is subject to certain contingencies and there can be no assurance that the acquisition will occur.
Ground Leases - We own a property that is subject to a long-term noncancellable ground lease obligation that contractually expires on November 30, 2032. We have three ten-year renewal options that will allow us to extend the expiration of the ground lease through November 30, 2062. The minimum commitment under the ground lease as of September 30, 2013 and thereafter is as follows:

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 financial statements.
Environmental Matters—We are not aware of any material environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to a material environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.
15. 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.
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 and real estate taxes) and excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and corporate general and administrative expenses.

Overview
We are a self-administered and internally managed Maryland REIT focused on acquiring, owning and operating net-leased industrial and office properties, leased to creditworthy tenants. Our experienced management team manages our day-to-day operations and oversees and supervises acquisitions and asset management services, which are performed principally by our employees, with certain services provided by third parties. All of our real estate investments are held directly by, or indirectly through wholly-owned subsidiaries of CSP Operating Partnership, LP, or CSP OP, of which we are the majority owner and the sole general partner. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. On May 21, 2013, we listed our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, under the ticker symbol "CSG."
We were formed on March 30, 2004 and commenced operations in July 2004 following an initial private placement of our common shares. Jack A. Cuneo, our founder, President and Chief Executive Officer, developed the initial business plan to establish our company. Since that time, we have raised equity capital to finance our real estate investment activities through two public offerings of our common shares.
Prior to July 1, 2012, all of our business activities were managed by CBRE Advisors LLC (the "former investment advisor") pursuant to advisory agreements. On July 1, 2012, we became a self-managed company and changed our name from CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust to Chambers Street Properties in accordance with a plan determined by our Board of Trustees. In addition, as of April 30, 2013, the transitional services agreement with CSP OP ("Transitional Services Agreement") and the former investment advisor that we had entered into as part of our transition to a self-managed company ended and we are now 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 performed by our employees, with certain services provided by third parties at market rates.
As of September 30, 2013, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 101 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution), 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 22.8 million rentable square feet. Our consolidated properties were approximately 94.4% leased (based upon rentable square feet) as of September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, 74 of our consolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 18.1 million rentable square feet.
In addition, we had ownership interests in five unconsolidated entities that, as of September 30, 2013, owned interests in 33 properties. Excluding those properties owned through our investment in CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners Asia II-A, L.P. ("CBRE Strategic Partners Asia"), we owned, on an unconsolidated basis, 30 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution), 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 other parts of Europe encompassing approximately 11.7 million rentable square feet. Our unconsolidated properties were approximately 99.1% leased (based upon rentable square feet) as of September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, 18 of our unconsolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 10.2 million rentable square feet.
Business Strategy
We seek to invest in industrial and office properties that are net leased to investment grade or creditworthy tenants on long-term leases through acquisitions of existing properties or build-to-suit projects. We believe the credit quality of many of our tenants, the length of our leases, the relatively modest capital expense requirements of our industrial 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 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 continue to execute our strategy and expand our portfolio through the following:
Acquisitions. We believe high-quality industrial and office properties, which are net leased to 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we continued to expand our portfolio with the purchase of two wholly-owned properties for $60.3 million that are fully leased to creditworthy tenants and the purchase of our partner's 20% outside interest in 17 industrial and office properties that were previously held in an unconsolidated joint venture. We generally finance our acquisitions through the assumption of secured debt or with borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.
Build-to-Suit Opportunities. We also intend to pursue build-to-suit opportunities that have attractive development yields and tenants with strong credit profiles, under long-term triple net leases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we completed construction of our build-to-suit venture at 1400 Atwater Drive located in Malvern, Pensylvania. The project is a 300,000 square foot build-to-suit office development that was pre-leased to Endo Health Solutions under a 12-year lease. Upon substantial completion of construction in January 2013, we acquired our partner's 5% interest in the project for approximately $3.4 million.
Maximize Cash Flow Through Internal Growth. We seek investments with fixed rent escalations over long term leases that provide stable, increasing 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 typically have embedded rental rate growth as the majority of them provide for periodic increases in rent.
Capital Recycling Program. We intend to pursue a disciplined capital allocation strategy 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 of properties, we intend to redeploy the capital into investment opportunities that we believe are more attractive, or to reduce debt.
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 continue to stagger our debt maturities and utilize a balance of secured and unsecured borrowings. We continue to 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 retain debt in the local currency of our international properties.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we completed the following transactions in order to maintain our prudent capital structure.
Capital Market Transactions
| |
• | On May 21, 2013, we listed our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "CSG" (the "Listing") and concurrently commenced a modified "Dutch Auction" tender offer to purchase up to $125.0 million in value of the common shares (the "Tender Offer") from our shareholders. As a result of the Tender Offer, on June 26, 2013, we accepted for purchase 12,376,235 common shares at a purchase price of $10.10 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $125.0 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Tender Offer. |
Financing Transactions
| |
• | On March 6, 2013, we entered into an unsecured term loan in the amount of $50.0 million (the "TD Term Loan") with TD Bank, N.A ("TD Bank"). 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 then current stated applicable margin. This applicable margin, and therefore the effective interest rate on the TD Term Loan, may vary during its term by an increase of up to 0.75% based upon the then current leverage ratio. In the event that the Company obtains a credit rating, the applicable margin on the TD Term Loan can vary from a 0.60% reduction to a 0.20% increase based upon our then current credit rating. The TD Term Loan contains customary representations and warranties and covenants. We used the proceeds of the TD Term Loan to repay a portion of our borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. |
| |
• | On March 7, 2013, we entered into an unsecured term loan in the amount of $200.0 million (the "WF Term Loan #1") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo Bank") and certain other lenders. Upon closing the WF Term Loan #1, we simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank to effectively fix the interest rate on the WF Term Loan #1 at 2.4885% per annum for its five-year term, based upon the WF Term Loan #1's then current stated applicable margin. This applicable margin, and therefore the effective interest rate on the WF Term Loan #1, may vary during its term by an increase of up to 0.60% based upon the then current leverage ratio. In the event that the Company obtains a credit rating, the applicable margin on the WF Term Loan #1 can vary from a 0.40% reduction to a 0.50% increase based upon our then current credit rating. The WF Term Loan #1 contains customary representations and warranties and covenants. We used the proceeds to repay a portion of our borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. |
| |
• | On September 12, 2013, we entered into an unsecured term loan in the amount of $120.0 million (the "Capital One Term Loan") with Capital One, National Association ("Capital One") and certain other lenders. Upon closing the Capital One Term Loan, we simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Capital One to effectively fix the interest rate on the Capital One Term Loan at 4.42125% per annum for its entire term until the Capital One Term Loan's scheduled maturity on January 31, 2021, based upon the Capital One Term Loan's current stated applicable margin. This applicable margin, and therefore the effective interest rate on the Capital One Term Loan, may vary during its term from a 0.20% reduction to a 0.35% increase based upon the then current leverage ratio. In the event the Company obtains a credit rating, the applicable margin on the Capital One Term Loan can vary from a 0.55% reduction to a 0.25% increase based upon our then current credit rating. We used the majority of the proceeds to repay a portion of our borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. |
| |
• | On September 26, 2013, in connection with the second amendment to the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank (the "Second Amendment") (see additional information in Note 6 under "Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility"), our WF Term Loan #1 was replaced with a new unsecured term loan (the "WF Term Loan #2") with the same amount of $200.0 million and the same maturity date of March 7, 2018 as for the WF Term Loan #1. The existing swap agreement entered into on March 7, 2013 upon closing of the WF Term Loan #1 remained in place and is now applicable to the WF Term Loan #2 in order to effectively fix its interest rate at 2.6385% per annum for its term, based upon the WF Term Loan #2's current stated applicable margin. In addition, on September 26, 2013, and also in connection with the Second Amendment (see additional information in Note 6 under "Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility"), we entered into a new $200.0 million unsecured term loan (the "WF Term Loan #3"). Upon closing the WF Term Loan #3, we simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively fix the interest rate on the WF Term Loan #3 at 3.274% per annum for its entire term until the WF Term Loan #3's scheduled maturity on January 15, 2019, based upon the WF Term Loan #3's current stated applicable margin. The applicable margin on both the WF Term Loan #2 and the WF Term Loan #3, and therefore the effective interest rate on both of these loans, may vary during their terms from a 0.20% reduction to a 0.35% increase based upon the then current leverage ratio. In the event the Company obtains a credit rating, the applicable margin on the WF Term Loan #2 and the WF Term Loan #3 can vary from a 0.70% reduction to a 0.30% increase based upon our then current credit rating. We used the majority of the WF Term Loan #3 proceeds to repay a portion of our borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. |
| |
• | On September 26, 2013, we entered into a Second Amendment to our Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment modified our unsecured revolving credit facility to increase its capacity from $700.0 million to $850.0 million. The unsecured revolving credit facility's term was extended to January 15, 2018, which may be extended for one year at our option upon the payment of customary extension fees, provided that we are not then in default. The unsecured revolving credit facility has no minimum outstanding balance requirements. The applicable margin on the unsecured revolving credit facility can vary from (i) 1.50% to 2.05% based upon the Company's then current leverage ratio. In the event the Company obtains a credit rating, the applicable margin on the unsecured revolving credit facility can vary from 0.90% to 1.70% based upon the then current credit rating of the Company or CSP OP. |
Factors that May Influence the Results of Operations
Market Trends
During 2011, we noted initial signs of added competition for commercial real estate investments, particularly for high-quality stabilized properties leased to creditworthy 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. Recently, interest rates have increased as a result of the current economic recovery. Well-located, high quality commercial real estate remains in high demand and the acquisition environment remains quite competitive as we are seeing many active buyers in the market, including REITs, private equity and institutional capital. Nonetheless, however, we expect to continue to deploy capital on an accretive basis.
Leasing Activity
Our ability to maintain high occupancy rates is a principal driver of maintaining and increasing rental revenue. The following table sets forth percentage leased and average net-effective rent information regarding our total portfolio of consolidated properties and unconsolidated properties at 100% as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively (in thousands, except percentage and per square foot data):

(2) | Single-Tenant Properties include certain properties that have di minimis secondary tenant(s). |
Tenant Lease Expirations
Our ability to maintain occupancy rates, and net effective rents, primarily depends upon our continuing ability to re-lease expiring space. We have limited near term lease expirations with an average remaining lease term of 7.00 years as of September 30, 2013. In addition, approximately 92% of leases expire after 2015. The following table sets forth a schedule of expiring leases for our consolidated and unconsolidated properties as of September 30, 2013 (Expiring Net Rentable Square Feet and Expiring Base Rent in thousands):

Results of Operations
Net Operating Income
Management internally evaluates the operating performance and financial results of our property portfolio based on Net Operating Income. We define "Net Operating Income" as rental income and tenant reimbursements less property and related expenses (property operating and real estate taxes) and excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and corporate general and administrative expenses.
Net Operating Income is considered by management to be an important and appropriate supplemental performance measure to net income (loss) because we believe it helps both investors and management to understand the core operations of our properties excluding corporate and financing-related costs and non-cash depreciation and amortization. Net Operating Income is an unlevered operating performance metric of our properties and allows for a useful comparison of the operating performance of individual assets or groups of assets. This measure thereby provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income (loss) from operations or net income (loss). In addition, Net Operating Income is considered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful starting point for determining the value of a real estate asset or group of assets. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating Net Operating Income, and accordingly, our presentation of Net Operating Income may not be comparable to other real estate companies. Because of the exclusion of the items shown in the reconciliation below, Net Operating Income should only be used as a supplemental measure of our financial performance and not as an alternative to GAAP income (loss) from operations or net income (loss).

(1) See a reconciliation of Net Operating Income to Net Income (Loss) immediately below in this table.
Net Operating Income
Net Operating Income (NOI) increased $11.5 million, or 32.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 as a result of:
| |
• | $15.8 million generated by the five industrial buildings and one office building we acquired during 2012 and the two industrial buildings and seventeen office buildings we acquired or consolidated through the purchase of the remaining outside equity interests during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (the "Properties Acquired or Consolidated"), partially offset by |
| |
• | a reduction in Net Operating Income due to increased vacancy from office and industrial tenants whose leases expired according to their terms. |
Other Expenses and Income
General and Administrative and Investment Management Fee
General and administrative expense decreased $1.8 million, or 24.6%, to $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. During the prior year period, we recorded $5.0 million of non-recurring salary and other personnel-related expenses as a result of internalization of management on July 1, 2012. In addition, as a result of our Listing, shareholder management service expenses incurred were $0.9 million lower compared to the prior year period. Expenses for services previously provided by our former investment advisor are now included in General and Administrative expenses. These services include employee salaries and benefits, various information technology costs and occupancy costs.
Our decrease in general and administrative expenses is also a result of a reduction of $5.2 million in investment management fees due to the termination of the Transitional Services Agreement.
Acquisition-Related Expenses
Acquisition-related expenses decreased $0.9 million, or 84.1%, to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was due to $0.9 million in acquisition fees paid to the former investment advisor during the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $7.8 million, or 41.8%, to $26.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $18.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the Properties Acquired or Consolidated.
Transition and Listing Expenses
Transition and listing expenses decreased $4.8 million, or 76.7%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Transition costs were primarily incurred in 2012 during our transition to self-management. During three months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred additional listing-related expenses and do not anticipate to incur any further listing costs in future periods.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income increased $0.3 million, or 140.6%, to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $4.4 million, or 50.2%, to $13.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of an increase in the weighted average debt outstanding balance in the current year period partially offset by a reduction in the weighted average interest rate. The increase in the weighted average debt outstanding balance is due to the March 2013 assumption of $229.5 million (amount is inclusive of a premium) of mortgage debt secured by the 17 properties in which we acquired our joint venture partner's remaining ownership interest (the "Duke Portfolio"). We also borrowed $570.0 million under our new unsecured term loan facilities in 2013.
Gain on Interest Rate Swaps
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, our derivative instruments incurred a gain of $0.3 million compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to the gain on fair value on interest rate swaps on the TD and Wells Fargo term loans during the period when these were not considered hedging instruments.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.6 million compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the WF Term Loan #3 that replaced the WF Term Loan #1. The loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2012 was attributable to the replacement of our revolving credit facility in the prior year period.
Loss on Conversion of Equity Interest to Controlling Interest
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, loss on conversion of equity investment to controlling interest was $1.7 million, which was attributable to a non-cash adjustment to the gain on conversion of equity interest to controlling interest in connection with the purchase of the Duke Portfolio recognized in the prior quarter. There was no loss on conversion of equity investment to controlling interest during the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Entities
Equity in income of unconsolidated entities increased $2.4 million, or 258.6%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to improved performance of our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia and the December 2012 acquisition of Koblenz Distribution Center by the European JV.

(1) See a reconciliation of Net Operating Income to Net Income (Loss) immediately below in this table.
Net Operating Income
Net Operating Income increased $33.6 million, or 33.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of:
| |
• | $42.1 million generated by the Properties Acquired or Consolidated partially offset by |
| |
• | a reduction in Net Operating Income due to increased vacancy from office and industrial tenants whose leases expired according to their terms. |
Other Expenses and Income
General and Administrative and Investment Management Fee
General and administrative expense increased $6.7 million, or 61.4%, to $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase is primarily due to the internalization of management as of July 1, 2012 as we now incur expenses for services previously provided by our former investment advisor. Expenses for services previously provided by our former investment advisor are now included in General and Administrative expenses. These services include employee salaries and benefits, various information technology costs and occupancy costs.
Our increase in general and administrative expenses is offset by a reduction of $16.8 million in investment management fees due to the termination of the Transitional Services Agreement.
Acquisition-Related Expenses
Acquisition-related expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 13.1%, to $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was due to $0.6 million in acquisition fees paid to the former investment advisor during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 offset by an additional $0.3 million of costs incurred due to increased acquisition activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $20.7 million, or 37.7%, to $75.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $54.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the Properties Acquired or Consolidated.
Transition and Listing Expenses
Transition and listing expenses increased $4.5 million, or 55.6%, to $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Transition costs were primarily incurred in 2012 during our transition to self-management. During nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $11.9 million of expenses in connection with the listing of our common shares on the NYSE on May 21, 2013 and the completion of the tender offer.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income decreased $0.7 million, or 40.0%, to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the recognition of other income related to the lease terminations at Fairforest Bldg. 3 in 2012.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $7.4 million, or 28.0%, to $34.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $26.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of an increase in the weighted average debt outstanding balance from $642.0 million to $1.2 billion in the current year period partially offset by a reduction in the weighted average interest rate from 4.16% to 5.47%. The increase in the weighted average debt outstanding balance is due to the March 2013 assumption of $229.5 million (amount is inclusive of a premium) of mortgage debt secured by the Duke Portfolio. We also borrowed $570.0 million under our new unsecured term loan facilities in 2013.
Gain on Interest Rate Swaps
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our derivative instruments incurred a gain of $1.7 million compared to $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The year-to-year change is attributable to the gain on fair value on interest rate swaps on the TD and Wells Fargo term loans.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased $0.1 million, or 26.3%, to $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due taxes incurred in Texas and North Carolina for properties acquired as part of the Duke Portfolio.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Entities
Equity in income of unconsolidated entities increased $7.7 million, or 301.5%, to $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the improved performance of our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, the December 2012 acquisition of Koblenz Distribution Center by the European JV and the March 2012 acquisition of Valley Park, Unit D by the UK JV.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.6 million compared to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The loss on early extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the WF Term Loan #3 that replaced the WF Term Loan #1. The loss on early extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was attributable to the replacement of our revolving credit facility in the prior year period.
Gain on Conversion of Equity Interest to Controlling Interest
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the gain on conversion of equity interest to controlling interest was $75.5 million, which was attributable to the purchase of the Duke Portfolio. There was no gain on the conversion of equity interest to controlling interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Discontinued Operations
There were no discontinued operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $0.4 million. The loss was attributable to valuation adjustment of Cherokee Corporate Park during the prior year period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
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. Our sources of funds will primarily be property operating cash flows and borrowings, including under our unsecured revolving credit facility, term loans or other forms of secured or unsecured financing that we may enter into from time to time. Additionally, we expect other financing opportunities could provide additional sources of funds, including the issuance of equity (through our at-the-market offering program or otherwise) and debt securities. 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. 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.
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. As of September 30, 2013, we had $62.3 million in cash as well as $750.0 million available under our unsecured revolving credit facility.
Net Cash Flow from Operations
Cash flow from operations is our primary source of liquidity and is 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 primarily 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.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
We intend to borrow under our unsecured revolving credit facility from time to time for general corporate purposes, to fund potential acquisitions and to potentially repay long-term debt.
The following table summarizes the balance and terms of our unsecured revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Unsecured Term Loan Facilities
We intend to enter into unsecured term loan facilities from time to time for general corporate purposes, to fund potential acquisitions and to potentially repay long-term debt.
On March 6, 2013, we entered into the $50.0 million TD Term Loan with TD Bank. 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 then current stated applicable margin. This applicable margin, and therefore the effective interest rate on the TD Term Loan, may vary during its term by an increase of up to 0.75% based upon the then current leverage ratio. In the event that the Company obtains a credit rating, the applicable margin on the TD Term Loan can vary from a 0.60% reduction to a 0.20% increase based upon 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 Credit Agreement.
On March 7, 2013, we entered into the $200.0 million WF Term Loan #1 with Wells Fargo Bank and certain other lenders. Upon closing the WF Term Loan #1, we simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank to effectively fix the interest rate on the WF Term Loan #1 at 2.4885% per annum for its five-year term, based upon the WF Term Loan #1's then current stated applicable margin. This applicable margin, and therefore the effective interest rate on the WF Term Loan #1, may vary during its term by an increase of up to 0.60% based upon the then current leverage ratio. In the event that the Company obtains a credit rating, the applicable margin on the WF Term Loan #1 can vary from a 0.40% reduction to a 0.50% increase based upon our then current credit rating. The WF Term Loan #1 contains customary representations and warrants and covenants. We used the proceeds to repay a portion of our borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.
On September 12, 2013, we entered into the $120.0 million Capital One Term Loan with Capital One and certain other lenders. Upon closing the Capital One Term Loan, we simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Capital One to effectively fix the interest rate on the Capital One Term Loan at 4.42125% per annum for its entire term until the Capital One Term Loan's scheduled maturity on January 31, 2021, based upon the Capital One Term Loan's current stated applicable margin. This applicable margin, and therefore the effective
interest rate on the Capital One Term Loan, may vary during its term from a 0.20% reduction to a 0.35% increase based upon the then current leverage ratio. In the event the Company obtains a credit rating, the applicable margin on the Capital One Term Loan can vary from a 0.55% reduction to a 0.25% increase based upon our then current credit rating. We used the majority of the proceeds to repay a portion of our borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.
On September 26, 2013, in connection with the Second Amendment (see additional information in Note 6 under "Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility"), our WF Term Loan #1 was replaced with the "WF Term Loan #2 with the same amount of $200.0 million and the same maturity date of March 7, 2018 as for the WF Term Loan #1. The existing swap agreement entered into on March 7, 2013 upon closing of the WF Term Loan #1 remained in place and is now applicable to the WF Term Loan #2 in order to effectively fix its interest rate at 2.6385% per annum for its term, based upon the WF Term Loan #2's current stated applicable margin. In addition, on September 26, 2013, and also in connection with the Second Amendment (see additional information in Note 6 under "Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility"), we entered into the $200.0 million WF Term Loan #3. Upon closing the WF Term Loan #3, we simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively fix the interest rate on the WF Term Loan #3 at 3.274% per annum for its entire term until the WF Term Loan #3's scheduled maturity on January 15, 2019, based upon the WF Term Loan #3's current stated applicable margin. The applicable margin on both the WF Term Loan #2 and the WF Term Loan #3, and therefore the effective interest rate on both of these loans, may vary during their terms from a 0.20% reduction to a 0.35% increase based upon the then current leverage ratio. In the event the Company obtains a credit rating, the applicable margin on the WF Term Loan #2 and the WF Term Loan #3 can vary from a 0.70% reduction to a 0.30% increase based upon our then current credit rating. We used the majority of the proceeds to repay a portion of our borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

(1) | Number of Properties at 100%. Approximate Acquisition Cost and Debt Balance for Unconsolidated Properties is at our pro rata share of effective ownership. Does not include our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. |
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. 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.
Sale of Real Estate Properties
We regularly work to identify, consider and pursue opportunities to dispose of non-strategic properties on an opportunistic basis with the intent of using the proceeds generated from the dispositions to fund new strategic acquisitions, to repay long-term debt and for other general
corporate purposes. The timing of any potential future dispositions will depend on market conditions and our capital needs. Our ability to dispose of such properties on favorable terms, or at all, is dependent upon a number of factors including the availability of credit to potential buyers to purchase properties at prices that we consider acceptable.
Transactions with Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Transactions with unconsolidated joint ventures also provide a source of liquidity. Our unconsolidated joint ventures will from time to time obtain debt financing or sell properties and will then distribute to us, and our joint venture partners, all or a portion of the proceeds from such transactions.
Debt Composition
Our consolidated and pro rata share of unconsolidated debt is comprised of the following as of September 30, 2013 (amounts in thousands):

Distribution Policy
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.
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). Our Board of Trustees has determined that, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2013, we will transition from a quarterly distribution and pay distributions on a monthly basis as calculated pursuant to monthly 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.
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.

On November 5, 2013, our Board of Trustees approved a monthly distribution of $0.042 per common share for each of the months of November and December of 2013 to be paid for the month of November on December 7, 2013 to all holders of record on November 29, 2013 and to be paid for the month of December on January 7, 2014 to all holders of record on December 31, 2013.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2013 distributions were funded entirely by cash flows provided by operating activities.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, distributions were funded 70.18% by cash flows provided by operating activities and 29.82% from uninvested proceeds from financings of our properties. The dividend reinvestment plan was terminated during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, distributions were funded 80.88% by cash flows provided by operating activities and 19.12% from uninvested proceeds from financings of our properties. In addition, distributions totaling $16.8 million were reinvested in our common shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
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.

__________
| |
(1) | Consolidated debt amount includes a $100.0 million outstanding balance on the unsecured revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2013. The unsecured revolving credit facility expires January 15, 2018. We may exercise an option to extend the maturity date by one year. |
| |
(2) | Unconsolidated debt amounts are at our pro rata share of effective ownership. |
Property Investment
As of September 30, 2013, we had an unfunded property acquisition commitment in the European JV totaling $57.7 million (our estimated 80% share). While the European JV expects the acquisition to close during the fourth quarter of 2013, the agreement to acquire the property is subject to certain contingencies and there can be no assurance that the acquisition will occur.
Historical Cash Flows
Our net cash provided by operating activities increased by $5.6 million to $91.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $86.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was due to Net Operating Income generated by the properties acquired or consolidated since January 1, 2012 offset by the payment of expenses to our former investment advisor during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 that were accrued for as of December 31, 2012.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $98.0 million to $245.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $147.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to contributions made to our unconsolidated entities to repay various notes payable secured by properties held within the joint ventures. See Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $94.0 million to $108.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $14.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to higher proceeds of $334.9 million generated from debt financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These amounts are offset by the $125.0 million paid as part of our Tender Offer in the current year period and $150.8 million generated in equity raising activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 that did not recur in the current year period. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we paid distributions to our shareholders of $18.2 million more than in the prior year period.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2013, we had five Investments in Unconsolidated Entities: (i) a 5.07% ownership interest in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia; (ii) an 80% ownership interest in the Duke JV; (iii) a 90% ownership interest in Afton Ridge; (iv) an 80% ownership interest in the UK JV; and (v) an 80% ownership interest in the European JV. Our investments are discussed in Note 4, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements "Investments in Unconsolidated Entities."
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. We expect 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.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures: FFO, Core FFO and AFFO
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 the management team considers their 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, interest rate swap gains/losses, transition and listing 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.
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. 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. Lastly, we incurred certain costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, in connection with the Listing and the Tender Offer and believe the costs incurred should also be 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 if 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, 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) amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant improvements, (v) deferred income taxes; (vi) share-based and other non-cash compensation expense; (vii) deferred straight-line rental revenue; and (viii) 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.
The following table presents our FFO, Core FFO and AFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands, except share data):

Subsequent Events
On October 9, 2013, we paid off the Albion Mills Retail Park loan in the amount of approximately £5.8 million (approximately $9.3 million). The interest rate swap agreement terminated with the loan payoff.
On October 10, 2013, we contributed $40.7 million to the Duke JV for our 80% share of the payoff (inclusive of accrued interest) of two fixed rate mortgage notes that were cross-collateralized and secured by the following properties: AllPoints Midwest Bldg.1 and 125 Enterprise Parkway. The notes were paid in full by the joint venture on October 11, 2013 for the total remaining principal balance of $50.8 million.
On November 6, 2013, we filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC to facilitate periodic public offerings of our securities.
On November 6, 2013, we and CSP OP entered into four separate Equity Distribution Agreements with certain sales agents, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, our common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $250.0 million. Sales of our common shares may be made in ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE, in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings, including sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
On November 7, 2013, the Duke JV sold 533 Maryville Centre and 555 Maryville Centre, each located in St. Louis, MO for approximately $39.2 million, exclusive of customary closing costs. Our pro rata share of the net proceeds of the sale following loan satisfaction and payment of customary closing expenses was approximately $11.0 million.
ITEM 3. 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.
To illustrate the effect of movements in the interest rate markets, the Company performed a market sensitivity analysis on its outstanding hedging instruments. The Company applied various basis point spreads to the underlying interest rate curves of the derivative portfolio in order to determine the instruments’ change in fair value. The following tables summarize the results of the analysis performed for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively (amounts in thousands):

The estimated fair value of our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is most sensitive to changes in capitalization rates for commercial properties in large urban areas in China, and among other factors, is also sensitive to currency exchange rate fluctuations and changes in the interest rates of China 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 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.
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.
A 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease the fair market value of our notes payable by $24.4 million at September 30, 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 $88,000 on the Albion Mills Retail Park property and approximately $0.2 million on the Maskew Retail Park property.
In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our real estate is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary.
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 officer, 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 September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
