INREIT REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013 (UNAUDITED)
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
INREIT Real Estate Investment Trust (“INREIT”) is a registered, but unincorporated business trust organized in North Dakota in November 2002. INREIT has elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code, which requires that 75% of the assets of a REIT must consist of real estate assets and that 75% of its gross income must be derived from real estate. The net income of the REIT is allocated in accordance with the stock ownership in the same fashion as a regular corporation.
INREIT previously established an operating partnership (“INREIT Properties, LLLP”) and transferred all of its assets and liabilities to the operating partnership in exchange for general partnership units. As the general partner, INREIT has management responsibility for all activities of the operating partnership. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, INREIT owned approximately 28.0% and 28.7%, respectively, of the operating partnership. The operating partnership is the 100% owner of 38 single asset limited liability companies and the 81.25% owner in a single asset limited liability partnership.
NOTE 2 – PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, which have previously been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted from this report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
The results for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 and consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income, consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, as applicable, have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2014 and our consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income, consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and our consolidated cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, as applicable. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of INREIT, INREIT Properties, LLLP, 38 single asset limited liability companies and a single asset LLP that the operating partnership is the 81.25% owner. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Additionally, we evaluate the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). In determining whether we have a requirement to consolidate the accounts of an entity, management considers factors such as our ownership interest, our authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the limited partners and shareholders, as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we have both a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

Principal Business Activity
INREIT currently owns directly and indirectly 127 properties. The trust’s 79 residential properties are located in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Nebraska and are principally multi-family apartment buildings. The trust owns 48 commercial properties primarily located in North Dakota with others located in Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Texas and Wisconsin. The commercial properties include retail, office, industrial, restaurant and medical properties. Presently, the trust’s mix of properties are 66.4% residential and 33.6% commercial (based on cost) and total $409,028 in real estate investments at March 31, 2014.

Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates
We account for unconsolidated affiliates using the equity method of accounting per guidance established under ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323”). The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of equity in the affiliates’ earnings and distributions. We evaluate the carrying amount of the investments for impairment in accordance with ASC 323. Unconsolidated affiliates are reviewed for potential impairment if the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value. An impairment charge is recorded when an impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary. To determine whether impairment is other-than-temporary, we consider whether we have the ability and intent to hold the investment until the carrying amount is fully recovered. The evaluation of an investment in an affiliate for potential impairment can require our management to exercise significant judgments. No impairment losses were recorded related to the unconsolidated affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
The operating partnership owns a 40.26% interest in a single asset limited liability company which owns a 144 unit residential, multi-family apartment complex in Bismarck, North Dakota. The property is encumbered by a first mortgage with a balance at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $2,369 and $2,383, respectively. We owed $954 and $960 of our respective share of the mortgage loan balance as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. However, the Company is jointly and severally liable for the full mortgage balance.

The property is encumbered by a non-recourse first mortgage with a balance at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $11,388 and $11,432, respectively. We owed $5,694 and $5,716 for our respective share of the mortgage loan balance as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. However, the Company is jointly and severally liable for the full mortgage balance.
The operating partnership owns a 66.67% interest as tenant in common in an office building with approximately 75,000 square feet of commercial rental space in Fargo, North Dakota. The property is encumbered by a first mortgage with a balance at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $7,317 and $7,349, respectively. We owed $4,878 and $4,899 for our respective share of the mortgage loan balance on March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. However, the Company is jointly and severally liable for the full mortgage balance.
The operating partnership owns an 82.50% interest as a tenant in common in a 61 unit residential, multi-family apartment complex in Fargo, North Dakota in July 2013. The property is unencumbered at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
These investments are not consolidated as the entities do not qualify as variable interest entities and do not meet the control requirements for consolidation, as defined in ASC 810. The operating partnership and the respective affiliate partners must approve significant decisions about the applicable entities activities. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the unconsolidated affiliates held total assets of $30,683 and $31,289 and mortgage notes payable of $21,074 and $21,164, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Our cash balances are maintained in various bank deposit accounts. The bank deposit amounts in these accounts may exceed federally insured limits at various times throughout the year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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.
Real Estate Investments
We account for our property acquisitions by allocating the purchase price of a property to the property’s assets based on management’s estimates of fair value. Techniques used to estimate fair value include, but are not limited to, appraisals of the properties by a certified independent appraiser at the time of acquisition.
Furniture and fixtures are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. All costs associated with the development and construction of real estate investments, including acquisition fees and interest, are capitalized as a cost of the property. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs, which do not add to the value or extend useful lives, are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is provided for over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
| | | | |
Buildings and improvements | | | 40 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | | | 9 years | |
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $2,884 and $2,586, respectively.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
The Company’s investment properties are reviewed for potential impairment at the end of each reporting period whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. At the end of each reporting period, the Company separately determines whether impairment indicators exist for each property.
Examples of situations considered to be impairment indicators include, but are not limited to:
| • | | a substantial decline or continued low occupancy rate; |
| • | | continued difficulty in leasing space; |
| • | | significant financial troubled tenants; |
| • | | a change in plan to sell a property prior to the end of its useful life or holding period; |
| • | | a significant decrease in market price not in line with general market trends; and |
| • | | any other quantitative or qualitative events or factors deemed significant by the Company’s management or board of trustees. |
If the presence of one or more impairment indicators as described above is identified at the end of the reporting period or throughout the year with respect to an investment property, the asset is tested for recoverability by comparing its carrying value to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. An investment property is considered to be impaired when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than its current carrying value. When performing a test for recoverability or estimating the fair value of an impaired investment property, the Company makes complex or subjective assumptions which include, but are not limited to:
| • | | projected operating cash flows considering factors such as vacancy rates, rental rates, lease terms, tenant financial strength, demographics, holding period and property location; |
| • | | projected capital expenditures and lease origination costs; |
| • | | projected cash flows from the eventual disposition of an operating property using a property specific capitalization rate; |
| • | | comparable selling prices; and |
| • | | property specific discount rates for fair value estimates as necessary. |
To the extent impairment has occurred, the Company will record an impairment charge calculated as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value for impairment of investment properties. Based on evaluation, there were no impairment losses during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Properties Held for Sale
We account for our properties held for sale in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting in a period in which a component of an entity either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, and requires that the statements of operations for current and prior periods shall report the results of operations of the component as discontinued operations.
In accordance with ASC 360, at such time as a property is held for sale, such property is carried at the lower of (1) its carrying amount or (2) fair value less costs to sell. In addition, a property being held for sale ceases to be depreciated. We classify operating properties as properties held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:
| • | | management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset; |
| • | | the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; |
| • | | an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset has been initiated; |
| • | | the sale of the asset is probable and the transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; |
| • | | the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and |
| • | | given the actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset, it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan would be made or that the plan would be withdrawn. |

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
There were no properties classified as held for sale at March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013. See Note 19.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We classify highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents.
Receivables
Receivables consist primarily of amounts due for rent and real estate taxes. The receivables are non-interest bearing. The carrying amount of receivables is reduced by an amount that reflects management’s best estimates of the amounts that will not be collected. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, management determined no allowance was necessary for uncollectible receivables.
Investment in Marketable Securities
Investments in marketable securities are classified as trading consistent with the Company’s overall investment objectives and activities. Accordingly, all unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s marketable securities investment portfolio are included in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income.
Gross gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities are based on the first-in first-out method of determining cost.
Financing and Lease Costs
Financing costs incurred in connection with financing have been capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the financing using the effective interest method. Lease costs incurred in connection with new leases have been capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the lease using the straight-line method.
Intangible Assets
Lease intangibles are a purchase price allocation recorded on property acquisition. The lease intangibles represent the estimated value of in-place leases and the value of leases with above or below market lease terms. Lease intangibles are amortized over the term of the related lease.
The carrying amount of intangible assets is regularly reviewed for indicators of impairments in value. Impairment is recognized only if the carrying amount of the intangible asset is considered to be unrecoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the asset. Based on the review, management determined no impairment charges were necessary at March 31, 2014 or 2013.
Noncontrolling Interest
Interests in the operating partnership held by limited partners are represented by limited partnership units. The operating partnership’s income is allocated to holders of units based upon the ratio of their holdings to the total units outstanding during the period. Capital contributions, distributions, syndication costs, and profits and losses are allocated to noncontrolling interests in accordance with the terms of the operating partnership agreement.
Syndication Costs
Syndication costs consist of costs paid to attorneys, accountants, and selling agents, related to the raising of capital. Syndication costs are recorded as a reduction to beneficial and noncontrolling interest.

Federal Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. A REIT calculates taxable income similar to other domestic corporations, with the major difference being a REIT is entitled to a deduction for dividends paid. A REIT is generally required to distribute each year at least 90% of its taxable income. If it chooses to retain the remaining 10% of taxable income, it may do so, but it will be subject to a corporate tax on such income. REIT shareholders are taxed on REIT distributions of ordinary income in the same manner as they are taxed on other corporate distributions.
We intend to continue to qualify as a REIT and, as such, will not be taxed on the portion of the income that is distributed to the shareholders. In addition, we intend to distribute all of our taxable income; therefore, no provisions or liabilities for income taxes have been recorded in the financial statements.
INREIT conducts its business activity as an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) through its Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is organized as a limited liability limited partnership. Income or loss is allocated to the partners in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code 704(b) and 704(c). UPREIT status allows non-recognition of gain by an owner of appreciated real estate if that owner contributes the real estate to a partnership in exchange for partnership interest. The conversion of partnership interest to shares of beneficial interest in the REIT will be a taxable event to the limited partner.
We follow ASC Topic 740,Income Taxes,to recognize, measure, present and disclose in our consolidated financial statements uncertain tax positions that we have taken or expect to take on a tax return. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 we did not have any liabilities for uncertain tax positions that we believe should be recognized in our consolidated financial statements. We are no longer subject to Federal and State tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010.
The operating partnership has elected to record related interest and penalties, if any, as income tax expense on the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, (“ASC Topic 605”). ASC Topic 605 requires that all four of the following basic criteria be met before revenue is realized or realizable and earned: (1) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
We derive over 95% of our revenues from tenant rents and other tenant-related activities. We lease multi-family units under operating leases with terms of one year or less. Rental income and other property revenues are recorded when due from tenants and recognized monthly as earned pursuant to the terms of the underlying leases. Other property revenues consist primarily of laundry, application and other fees charged to tenants.
We lease commercial space primarily under long-term lease agreements. Commercial tenant rents include base rents, expense reimbursements (such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and utilities), and straight-line rents. We record base rents on a straight-line basis. The monthly base rent income according to the terms of our leases is adjusted so that an average monthly rent is recorded for each tenant over the term of its lease. The straight-line rent adjustment increased revenue by $77 and $117 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The straight-line receivable balance included in receivables on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $2,429 and $2,352, respectively. We receive payments for expense reimbursements from substantially all our multi-tenant commercial tenants throughout the year based on estimates. Differences between estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts, which generally are immaterial, are recognized in the subsequent year.

Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders (the “numerator”) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the “denominator”) during the period. INREIT had no dilutive potential common shares as of March 31, 2014 or 2013, and therefore, basic earnings per common share was equal to diluted earnings per common share for both periods.
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, INREIT’s denominators for the basic and diluted earnings per common share were approximately 5,439,000 and 5,316,000, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08,Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”). This newly issued accounting standard amends the definition of a discontinued operation in ASC 205-20 and requires an entity to provide additional disclosures about disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued-operations criteria. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted; and was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operation or cash flows.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously reported in our quarterly report ended March 31, 2013 have been reclassified to conform to discontinued operations presentations in 2014. In addition, reclassifications to expand certain captions have been made to the 2013 consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity to conform to the 2014 presentation.
NOTE 3 – SEGMENT REPORTING
We report our results in two reportable segments: residential and commercial properties. Our residential properties include multi-family and assisted senior living properties. Our commercial properties include retail, office, industrial, restaurant and medical properties. We assess and measure operating results based on net operating income (“NOI”), which we define as total real estate segment revenues less real estate expenses (which consist of real estate taxes, property management fees, utilities, repairs and maintenance, insurance and direct administrative costs). We believe NOI is an important measure of operating performance even though it should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating activities. NOI is unaffected by financing, depreciation, amortization, legal and professional fees and other general and administrative expenses. The accounting policies of each segment are consistent with those described in Note 2 of this report.

Construction in progress consists of costs associated with the development of a new four building 156 unit multi-family apartment community which includes four buildings, located in Bismarck, North Dakota. The project is estimated to cost $16,000 and is expected to be substantially completed in June 2015. The Company is working with GOLDMARK Development Corporation, a related party, as the general contractor for the project. See Note 15 for additional information.
NOTE 5 – HEDGING ACTIVITIES
As part of our interest rate risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to minimize significant unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from rising variable interest rate costs associated with existing borrowings. To meet these objectives, we have entered into interest rate swaps in the amount of $1,294 and $2,450 to provide a fixed rate of 7.25% and 2.57%, respectively. The swaps mature on April 2020 and December 2017, respectively. The swaps were issued at approximate market terms and thus no fair value adjustment was recorded at inception.
The carrying amount of the swaps have been adjusted to their fair values at the end of the quarter, which because of changes in forecasted levels of LIBOR, resulted in reporting a liability for the fair value of the future net payments forecasted under the swaps. The interest rate swaps are accounted for as effective hedges in accordance with ASC 815-20 whereby they are recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded to comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have recorded a liability and other comprehensive loss of $299 and $309, respectively.
NOTE 6 – INVESTMENT IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Investments in marketable securities consist of real estate backed equity securities. These securities are stated at market value, as determined by the most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. Consistent with the Company’s overall investment objectives and activities, the marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading (as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles). Accordingly all unrealized gains and losses on this portfolio are recorded in income. The following table summarizes the Company’s investment in marketable securities as of March 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the Company held no marketable securities.

The carrying values shown in the table are included in the consolidated balance sheets under the indicated captions.
ASC 820-10 established a three-level valuation hierarchy for fair value measurement. Management uses these valuation techniques to establish the fair value of the assets at the measurement date. These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
| • | | Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; |
| • | | Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose significant inputs are observable; |
| • | | Level 3 – Instruments whose significant inputs are unobservable. |
The guidance requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value of interest rate swaps | | $ | — | | | $ | 309 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 309 | |
Investment in marketable securities: The fair value of the marketable equity securities is determined using quoted market prices at the reporting date multiplied by the quantity held.
Fair value of interest rate swaps: The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected future cash flows of the derivative. This analysis utilizes observable market data including forward yield curves and implied volatilities to determine the market’s expectation of the future cash flows of the variable component. The fixed and variable components of the derivative are then discounted using calculated discount factors developed based on the LIBOR swap rate and are aggregated to arrive at a single valuation for the period. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered any applicable credit enhancements. The Company’s derivative instruments are further described in Note 5.
Fair Value Disclosures
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, which are measured at fair value for disclosure purposes, by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which they fall.

Mortgage notes payable: The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgage notes payable by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by the Company’s lenders. Judgment is used in determining the appropriate rate for each of the Company’s individual mortgages and notes payable based upon the specific terms of the agreement, including the term to maturity, the quality and nature of the underlying property and its leverage ratio. The rates used range from 4.48% to 4.73% and from 4.50% to 4.65% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s matured mortgage notes payable were determined to be equal to the carrying value of the properties because there is no market for similar debt instruments and the properties’ carrying value was determined to be the best estimate of fair value as of March 31, 2014. The Company’s mortgage notes payable are further described in Note 9.
NOTE 11 – NONCONTROLLING INTEREST OF UNITHOLDERS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, outstanding limited partnership units totaled 13,884,000 and 13,547,000 respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the operating partnership declared distributions of $3,124 and $2,539 respectively, to limited partners paid in April 2014 and 2013. Distributions per unit were $0.2250 and $0.2100 during the first three months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.
During the first three months of 2014 and 2013, there were no limited partnership units exchanged for INREIT common shares pursuant to exchange requests.
Limited partners in the operating partnership have the right to require the operating partnership to exchange their limited partnership units for cash. Upon receipts of such a notice of exchange, we have the right to purchase the limited partnership units in lieu of the operating partnership either with cash or INREIT common shares, in our discretion, on the basis of one limited partnership unit for one INREIT common share. However, payment will be in cash if the issuance of INREIT common shares will cause the shareholder to exceed the ownership limitations, among other reasons. No limited partner will be permitted more than two notices of exchange during any calendar year, and no exchanges may be made for less than 1,000 limited partnership units or, if such limited partner owns less than 1,000 limited partnership units, all of the limited partnership units held by such limited partner.
NOTE 12 – REPURCHASE PLANS
On March 11, 2011, our Board of Trustees approved repurchase plans that enable our shareholders to sell their common shares and the partners of our operating partnership to sell their limited partnership units to us, after they have held the securities for at least one year and subject to other conditions and limitations described in the plans. Originally, the maximum amount of aggregate securities that could be redeemed under these plans was $5,000, and the redemption price was fixed at $12.60 per share or unit under the plans.
On September 7, 2012 and December 20, 2012, our Board of Trustees amended and restated our repurchase plans to increase the maximum amount that can be redeemed under the plans to $15,000 worth of securities and increased the fixed redemption price to $12.75 per share or unit under the plans.
On March 28, 2013, our Board of Trustees amended our repurchase plans to increase the maximum amount that can be redeemed under the plan to $20,000 worth of securities and increased the fixed redemption price to $13.00 per share or unit under the plans effective May 16, 2013.
On September 26, 2013, our Board of Trustees amended our repurchase plans to increase the maximum amount that can be redeemed under the plan to $25,000 worth of securities and increased the fixed redemption price to $14.00 per share or unit under the plans effective October 16, 2013.
On March 27, 2014, our Board of Trustees amended our repurchase plans to increase the maximum amount that can be redeemed under the plan to $30,000 worth of securities under the plans effective March 28, 2014.

We may redeem securities under the plans provided the aggregate total has not been exceeded if we have sufficient funds to do so. The plans will terminate in the event the shares become listed on any national securities exchange, the subject of bona fide quotes on any inter-dealer quotation system or electronic communications network or are the subject of bona fide quotes in the pink sheets. Additionally, the Board, in its sole discretion, may terminate, amend or suspend the repurchase plans, either or both of them, if it determines to do so is its sole discretion.
During the first three months of 2014 and 2013, the Company redeemed 133,000 and 76,000 common shares valued at $1,856 and $966, respectively. In addition, during the first three months of 2014 and 2013, the Company redeemed 45,000 and 14,000 units valued at $634 and $172, respectively.
NOTE 13 – BENEFICIAL INTEREST
We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest with $0.01 par value and 50,000,000 preferred shares with $0.01 par value, which collectively represent the beneficial interest of INREIT. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 5,405,000 and 5,454,000 common shares outstanding. We had no preferred shares outstanding as of either date.
Dividends paid to holders of common shares were $0.2250 per share and $0.2100 per share for the three months ending March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
NOTE 14 – DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Our Board of Trustees approved a dividend reinvestment plan to provide existing holders of our common shares with a convenient method to purchase additional common shares without payment of brokerage commissions, fees or service charges. On July 20, 2012, we registered with the Securities Exchange Commission 2,000,000 common shares to be issued under the plan on Form S-3D, which automatically became effective on July 20, 2012.
Under this plan, eligible shareholders may elect to have all or a portion (but not less than 25%) of the cash dividends they receive automatically reinvested in our common shares. If an eligible shareholder elects to reinvest cash dividends under the plan, the shareholder may also make additional optional cash purchases of our common shares, not to exceed five thousand per fiscal quarter without our prior approval. The purchase prices per common share under the plan equals 95% of the estimated value per common share for dividend reinvestments and equals 100% of the estimated value per common share for additional optional cash purchases, as determined by our Board of Trustees. The estimated value per common share was $15.00 and $14.00 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. See discussion of determination of estimated value in Note 20.
Therefore, the purchase price per common share for dividend reinvestments was $14.25 and $13.30 and for additional optional cash purchases was $15.00 and $14.00 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Board, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate the plan at any time, without the consent of shareholders, upon a ten day notice to participants.
In the three months ended March 31, 2014, 56,000 shares were issued pursuant to dividend reinvestments and 28,000 shares were issued pursuant to additional optional cash purchases under the plan. In the three months ended March 31, 2013, 53,000 shares were issued pursuant to dividend reinvestments and 11,000 shares were issued pursuant to additional optional cash purchases under the plan.

The Advisory Agreement was approved by the Board of Trustees (including all the independent Trustees) on March 27, 2014, effective January 1, 2014.
Management Fee: 0.35% of our total assets (before depreciation and amortization), annually. Total assets are our gross assets (before depreciation and amortization) as reflected on our consolidated financial statements, taken as of the end of the fiscal quarter last preceding the date of computation. The management fee will be payable monthly in cash or our common shares, at the option of the Advisor, not to exceed one-twelfth of 0.35% of the total assets as of the last day of the immediately preceding month. The management fee calculation is subject to quarterly and annual reconciliations. The management fee may be deferred at the option of the Advisor, without interest.
Acquisition Fee: For its services in investigating and negotiating acquisitions of investments for us, the Advisor receives an acquisition fee of 2.5% of the purchase price of each property acquired, capped at $375 per acquisition. The total of all acquisition fees and acquisition expenses cannot exceed 6% of the purchase price of the investment, unless approved by the majority of the trustees, including a majority of the independent trustees, if they determine the transaction to be commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to us.

NOTE 18 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental Matters
Federal law (and the laws of some states in which we may acquire properties) imposes liability on a landowner for the presence on the premises of hazardous substances or wastes (as defined by present and future federal and state laws and regulations). This liability is without regard to fault or knowledge of the presence of such substances and may be imposed jointly and severally upon all succeeding landowners. If such hazardous substance is discovered on a property acquired by us, we could incur liability for the removal of the substances and the cleanup of the property. There can be no assurance that we would have effective remedies against prior owners of the property. In addition, we may be liable to tenants and may find it difficult or impossible to sell the property either prior to or following such a cleanup.

Risk of Uninsured Property Losses
We maintain property damage, fire loss, and liability insurance. However, there are certain types of losses (generally of a catastrophic nature) which may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Such excluded risks may include war, earthquakes, tornados, certain environmental hazards, and floods. Should such events occur, (i) we might suffer a loss of capital invested, (ii) tenants may suffer losses and may be unable to pay rent for the spaces, and (iii) we may suffer a loss of profits which might be anticipated from one or more properties.

NOTE 20 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ACQUSITIONS
We continue to implement our strategy of acquiring properties in desired markets.
We account for our property acquisitions by allocating the purchase price of a property to the property’s assets based on management’s estimates of fair value. Techniques used to estimate fair value include an appraisal of the property by a certified independent appraiser at the time of acquisition. Significant factors included in the independent appraisal include items such as current rent schedules, occupancy levels, and discount factors. Property valuations are completed primarily using the income capitalization approach, which anticipated benefits are converted to an indication of current value.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
The total value allocable to intangible assets acquired, which consists of unamortized lease origination costs, in-place leases and tenant relationships, are allocated based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease, our overall relationship with that respective tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the remaining term of the lease and the tenant’s credit quality, among other factors.
The value allocable to the above or below market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a market discount rate) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (ii) management’s estimate of rents that would be paid using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above or below market leases are included in lease intangibles, net in the accompanying balance sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis as an increase or reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective leases.
We estimate the in-place lease value for each lease acquired. This fair value estimate is calculated using factors available in third party appraisals or cash flow estimates of the property prepared by our internal analysis. These estimates are based upon cash flow projections for the property, existing leases, and the current economic climate.
Our analysis results in three discrete financial items: assets for above market leases, liabilities for below market leases, and assets for the in-place lease value. The calculation of each of these components is performed in tandem to provide a complete intangible asset value.
Key factors considered in the calculation of fair value of both real property and intangible assets include the current market rent values, “dark” periods (building in vacant status), direct costs estimated with obtaining a new tenant, discount rates, escalation factors, standard lease terms, and tenant improvement costs.

Units issued in exchange for property are determined through a value established annually by our Board of Trustees, and reflects the fair value at the time of issuance.
Estimated Value of Units/Shares
The Board of Trustees has determined an estimate of fair value for the trust shares issued in the first three months of 2014 and 2013. In addition, the Board of Trustees, acting as general partner for the operating partnership, has determined an estimate of fair value for the limited partnership units issued in the first three months of 2014 and 2013. In determining this value, the board relied upon their experience with, and knowledge about, our real estate portfolio and debt obligations. The board also relied on valuation methodologies that are commonly used in the real estate industry. The methodology used by our board to determine this value was based on the value of our real estate investments, cash and other assets and debt and other liabilities as of a date certain.
Based on the results of the methodologies, the Board determined the fair value of the shares and limited partnership units to be $14.00 per shares/unit for the first three months of 2014 through March 27, 2014 and 2013. The Board determined the fair value of the shares and limited partnership units to be $15.00 per share/unit effective March 28, 2014.
As with any valuation methodology, the methodologies utilized by the Board in reaching an estimate of the value of the shares and limited partnership units are based upon a number of estimates, assumptions, judgments or opinions that may, or may not, prove to be correct. The use of different estimates, assumptions, judgments, or opinions would likely have resulted in significantly different estimates of the value of the shares and limited partnership units. In addition, the Board’s estimate of share and limited partnership unit value is not based on the fair values of our real estate, as determined by GAAP, as our book value for most real estate is based on the amortized cost of the property, subject to certain adjustments.
Furthermore, in reaching an estimate of the value of the shares and limited partnership units, the Board did not include a liquidity discount in order to reflect the fact that the shares and limited partnership units are not currently traded on a national securities exchange; a discount for debt that may include a prepayment obligation or a provision precluding assumption of the debt by a third party; or the costs that are likely to be incurred in connection with an appropriate exit strategy, whether that strategy might be a listing of the limited partnership units or INREIT common shares on a national securities exchange or a merger or sale of our portfolio.
NOTE 21 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 15, 2014, we paid a dividend or distribution of $0.2250 per share on our common shares of beneficial interest, to common shareholders and limited unit holders of record on March 31, 2014.

INREIT REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013 (UNAUDITED)
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
In May 2014, the operating partnership entered into an agreement to merge the Eagle Run Partnership, LLP into the partnership for approximately $1,500. The Eagle Run Partnership, LLP will cease to exist. The merger was financed with the issuance of limited partnership units and through assumption of mortgage debt.
In May 2014, the operating partnership contributed $635 to a joint venture in a single asset limited liability company which will own and operate a multi-modal transit center, parking ramp and skyway expansion.
Pending acquisitions and dispositions are subject to numerous conditions and contingencies and there are no assurances that the transactions will be completed.
We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing. We are not aware of any other subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Overview
We operate as an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (UPREIT), which is a REIT that holds all or substantially all of its assets through a partnership which the REIT controls as general partner. Therefore, we hold all or substantially all of our assets through our operating partnership. We control the operating partnership as the sole general partner and own approximately 28.0% of the operating partnership as of March 31, 2014. For purposes of satisfying the asset and income tests for qualification as a REIT for tax purposes, our proportionate shares of the assets and income of our operating partnership are deemed to be assets and income of the trust.
We use this UPREIT structure to facilitate acquisitions of commercial real estate properties. A sale of property directly to a REIT is generally a taxable transaction to the property seller. However, in an UPREIT structure, if a property seller exchanges the property with one of its operating partnerships in exchange for limited partnership units, the seller may defer taxation of gain in such exchange until the seller resells its limited partnership units or exchanges its limited partnership units for the REIT’s common stock. By offering the ability to defer taxation, we may gain a competitive advantage in acquiring desired properties over other buyers who cannot offer this benefit. In addition, investing in our operating partnership, rather than directly in INREIT, may be more attractive to certain institutional or other investors due to their business or tax structure. If an investor is interested in making a substantial investment in our operating partnership, our structure provides us the flexibility to accommodate different terms for each investment, while applicable tax laws generally restrict a REIT from charging different fee rates among its shareholders. Finally, if our shares become publicly traded, the former property seller may be able to achieve liquidity for his investment in order to pay taxes.
Operating Partnership
Our operating partnership, INREIT Properties, LLLP, was formed as a North Dakota limited liability limited partnership on April 25, 2003 to acquire, own and operate properties on our behalf. The operating partnership holds a diversified portfolio of commercial and multi-family properties located principally in the upper and central Midwest United States.
As of March 31, 2014, approximately 66.4% of the properties were apartment communities located primarily in North Dakota with others located in Minnesota and Nebraska. Most multi-family properties are leased to a variety of tenants undershort-term leases.
As of March 31, 2014, approximately 33.6% of the properties were comprised of office, retail, industrial and medical commercial property located primarily in North Dakota with others located in Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Texas and Wisconsin. We have both single and multi-family tenant properties in the commercial portfolio, most of which are under long-term leases.
Our real estate portfolio consisted of 127 properties containing approximately 6,089 apartments and 1,384 square feet of leasable commercial space as of March 31, 2014. The portfolio has a gross book value of approximately $409,028, which includes assets held for sale, and book equity, including noncontrolling interests, of approximately $145,192 as of March 31, 2014.

Our Board of Trustees and Executive Officers
We operate under the direction of our Board of Trustees, the members of which are accountable and our shareholders as fiduciaries. In addition, the Board has a specific fiduciary duty to supervise our relationship with the Advisor, and evaluate the performance of and fees paid to the Advisor on an annual basis prior to renewing the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor. Our Board of Trustees has provided investment guidance for the Advisor to follow, and must approve each investment recommended by the Advisor. Currently, we have nine members on our board, seven of whom are independent of our Advisor. Our trustees are elected annually by our shareholders. Although we have executive officers, we do not have any paid employees.
Our Advisor
Our external Advisor is INREIT Management, LLC, a North Dakota limited liability company formed on November 14, 2002. Our Advisor, with offices in Fargo, North Dakota, is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for identifying, acquiring and disposing investments on our behalf.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Preparation of our financial statements requires estimates and judgments to be made that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported. Such decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and the assumptions on which to base accounting estimates. We evaluate these estimates based on assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
There have been no material changes in our Critical Accounting Policies as disclosed in Note 2 to our financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 included elsewhere in this report.

Revenues
Property revenues of approximately $17,083 increased approximately $2,445 or 16.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 in comparison to the same period in 2013. Residential property revenues increased approximately $2,687 while commercial property revenues decreased approximately $242.
The following table illustrates quarterly changes in occupancy for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2014 | | | March 31, 2013 | |
Residential occupancy | | | 97.2 | % | | | 98.9 | % |
Commercial occupancy | | | 99.5 | % | | | 99.4 | % |
Residential revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 increased $2,687 in comparison to the same period for 2013. Approximately $2,420 of the increase was due to residential properties acquired since January 1, 2013. Rental income from residential properties owned for more than one year increased approximately $267 in comparison to the same period in 2013. Residential revenues comprised 73.9% of total revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to 67.8% of total revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2013.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2014 commercial revenues decreased $242 in comparison to the same period for 2013. The decrease is despite an increase in revenues of approximately $166 from commercial properties acquired since January 1, 2013. Rental income from commercial properties owned for more than one year decreased approximately $408 in comparison to the same period in 2013 primarily due to decreased CAM income (common area maintenance). Commercial revenues comprised 26.1% of the total revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to 32.2% of total revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2013.
Expenses
Residential expenses from operations of $6,513 during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 increased $2,053 or 46.0% in comparison to the same period in 2013. This increase was primarily attributed to the increase in number of residential properties owned during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 versus the same period in 2013.
37
Commercial expenses from operations of $816 during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 decreased $329 or 28.7% in comparison to the same period in 2013. This decrease was in part attributed to real estate tax relief in North Dakota. In addition, the decrease was in part attributed to decreases in real estate tax expense which corresponds to the decrease in commercial CAM income.
Interest expense of $3,064 during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 increased $372 in comparison to the same period in 2013. Interest expense was approximately 17.9% and 18.4% of rental income for three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease of interest expense as a percentage of rental income during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 was a result of lower interest rates for mortgage notes payable during this period in 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 and increased rental revenues from acquired properties unencumbered by mortgages.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 18.1% from $2,839 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to approximately $3,354 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The $515 increase was primarily a result of depreciation and amortization for the 17 properties added to our portfolio since March 31, 2013. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of rental income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was relatively consistent at 19.6% and 19.4%, respectively.
REIT administration expenses decreased from $1,499 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $1,044 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 due to a decrease in acquisition expenses related to less acquisition activity during the first quarter of 2014 in comparison to the same period in 2013.
Net Operating Income
We measure the performance of our segments based on net operating income (“NOI”), which we define as total revenue from rental operations less expenses from rental operations and real estate taxes (excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate investments and impairment of real estate investments). We believe that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a REIT because it provides a measure of core operations unaffected by depreciation, amortization, financing, and administration expense. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, net income available for non-controlling interests and shareholders of the Trust or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance.
Residential NOI increased $634 or 11.6% for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 in comparison to the same three month period in 2013 due primarily to acquisition activity in the residential segment. Commercial NOI increased $87 or 2.4% for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 in comparison to the same three month period in 2013 due primarily to acquisition activity in the commercial segment.
Property Acquisitions and Dispositions
Property Acquisitions and Dispositions during the three month period ended March 31, 2014
We acquired four properties for a total of $7,024 during the first three months of 2014. Total consideration for the acquisitions was the issuance of approximately $5,352 in limited partnership units of the operating partnership and cash of $1,672.
During the first quarter of 2014, there were no dispositions.
Property Acquisitions and Dispositions during the three month period ended March 31, 2013
We acquired nine properties for a total of $16,331 during the first three months of 2013. Total consideration for the acquisitions was the issuance of approximately $13,559 in limited partnership units of the operating partnership, new loans of $2,511 and cash of $261.
During the first quarter of 2013, there were no dispositions.
See Notes 19 and 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included above for more information regarding our acquisitions and dispositions during the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Funds From Operations and Modified Funds From Operations (FFO and MFFO)
Funds From Operations (FFO) applicable to common shares and limited partnership units means net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. The term Funds From Operations (FFO) was created to address this problem. It was intended to be a standard supplemental measure of REIT operating performance that excluded historical cost depreciation from — or “added it back” to — GAAP net income.
Our management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it provides supplemental information that facilitates comparisons to prior periods and for the evaluation of financial results. Management uses this non-GAAP measure to evaluate our financial results, develop budgets and manage expenditures. The method used to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, is likely to differ from the methods used by other companies and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. Management encourages the review of the reconciliation of this non- GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP results.
Since the introduction of the definition of FFO, the term has come to be widely used by REITs. In the view of National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), the use of the definition of FFO (combined with the primary GAAP presentations required by the Securities and Exchange Commission) has been fundamentally beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making it easier than before to compare the results of one REIT with another.
In addition to FFO, management also uses Modified Funds From Operations (“MFFO”) as a non-GAAP supplemental performance measure. MFFO as defined by us excludes from FFO acquisition related costs which are required to be expensed in accordance with GAAP. Our definition of MFFO also excludes disposition costs related to sales of investment properties. Acquisition and disposition related expenses include those paid to our Advisor and third parties. Management believes that excluding acquisition and disposition related costs from MFFO provides useful supplemental performance information that is comparable over the long-term and this is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the REIT.
While FFO and MFFO applicable to common shares and limited partnership units are widely used by REITs as performance metrics, all REITs do not use the same definition of FFO and MFFO or calculate FFO and MFFO in the same way. The FFO and MFFO reconciliation presented here is not necessarily comparable to FFO and MFFO presented by other real estate investment trusts. FFO and MFFO should also not be considered as an alternative to net income as determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of a real estate investment trust’s performance, but rather should be considered as an additional, supplemental measure, and should be viewed in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated financial statements included in this report. FFO and MFFO applicable to common shares and limited partnership units does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund a real estate investment trust’s needs or its ability to service indebtedness or to pay dividends to shareholders.
39
The following tables include calculations of FFO and MFFO, and the reconciliations to net income, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We believe these calculations are the most comparable GAAP financial measure (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for funds will be for the (i) acquisition of real estate and real estate-related investments, (ii) payment of acquisition related expenses and operating expenses, (iii) payment of dividends/distributions and repurchases, and (iv) payment of principal and interest on current and any future outstanding indebtedness. Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for the payment of operating expenses and interest on outstanding indebtedness from cash flow from operations. We expect to pay dividends/distributions and any repurchase requests to our shareholders and the unit holders of our operating partnership from cash flow from operations; however, we may use other sources to fund dividends/distributions and repurchases, as necessary. We expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions and other real-estate investments from cash flow from operations, net proceeds of share offerings and debt proceeds.
Evaluation of Liquidity
We continually evaluate our liquidity and ability to fund future operations, debt obligations and any repurchase requests. As part of our analysis, we consider among other items, credit quality of tenants and lease expirations.
Credit Quality of Tenants
We are exposed to credit risk within our tenant portfolio, which can reduce our results of operations and cash flow from operations if our tenants are unable to pay their rent. Tenants experiencing financial difficulties may become delinquent on their rent or default on their leases and, if they file for bankruptcy protection, may reject our lease in bankruptcy court, resulting in reduced cash flow. This may negatively impact net asset values and require us to incur impairment charges. Even if a default has not occurred and a tenant is continuing to make the required lease payments, we may restructure or renew leases on less favorable terms, or the tenant’s credit profile may deteriorate, which could affect the value of the leased asset and could in turn require us to incur impairment charges.
40
Historically, the geographic location of our properties and credit-worthiness of our tenants have resulted in minimal to no property impairments or write-offs on uncollectible rental revenues. We currently anticipate the trend to continue. It is possible, however, that tenants may file for bankruptcy or default on their leases in the future and that economic conditions may deteriorate.
To mitigate credit risk on commercial properties, we have historically looked to invest in assets that we believe are critically important to our tenant’s operations and have attempted to diversify our portfolio by tenant, tenant industry and geography. We also monitor all of our properties performance through review of rent delinquencies as a precursor to a potential default, meetings with tenant management and review of tenants’ financial statements and compliance with financial covenants. When necessary, our asset management process includes restructuring transactions to meet the evolving needs of tenants, refinancing debt and selling properties, as well as protecting our rights when tenants default or enter into bankruptcy.
Lease Expirations and Occupancy
No significant leases are scheduled to expire or renew in the next twelve months. The Advisor, with the assistance of our property managers, actively manages our real estate portfolio and begins discussing options with tenants in advance of scheduled lease expirations. In certain cases, we may obtain lease renewals from our tenants; however, tenants may elect to move out at the end of their term. In the cases where tenants elect not to renew, we may seek replacement tenants or try to sell the property.
Cash Flow Analysis
Our objectives are to generate sufficient cash flow over time to provide shareholders with increasing dividends and to seek investments with potential for strong returns and capital appreciation throughout varying economic cycles. We have funded 100% of the dividends from operating cash flows. In setting a dividend rate, we focus primarily on expected returns from investments we have already made to assess the sustainability of a particular dividend rate over time.

Our real estate properties generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues, which is reduced by interest payments, direct leases costs and property-level operating expenses. Property-level operating expenses consist primarily of property management fees including salaries and wages of property management personnel, utilities, cleaning, repairs, insurance, security and building maintenance costs, and real estate taxes. Additionally, we incur general and administrative expenses, advisory fees, acquisition and disposition expenses, and financing and development fees.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,451 and $6,003 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which consists primarily of net income from property operations and adjusted non-cash depreciation and amortization. The funds generated for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were primarily from property operations of our real estate portfolio. In addition during the three months ended March 31, 2014, we invested $5,000 in marketable securities.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities generally consist of real estate-related transactions (purchases and sales of properties) and payments of capitalized property-related costs such as intangible assets and real estate tax and insurance escrows.

Net cash used in investing activities was $3,413 and $3,894 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (this does not include the value of UPREIT units issued in connection with investing activities). For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, cash flows used in investing activities related primarily to the acquisition of properties and capital expenditures was $2,727 and $3,092, respectively, and the change in restricted cash for real estate tax, insurance and replacement reserve escrows was $1,113 and $983, respectively.
Financing Activities
Our financing activities generally consist of funding property purchases by raising proceeds and securing mortgage notes payable as well as paying dividends, paying syndication costs and making principal payments on mortgage notes payable.
Net cash used in financing activities was $4,936 and $4,040 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During this period in 2014, we paid approximately $3,247 in dividends and distributions, repurchased $2,490 of shares and units, received proceeds of $2,339 from short-term notes, and made mortgage principal payments of approximately $1,908. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we paid approximately $2,801 in dividends and distributions, repurchased $1,138 of shares and units, received proceeds from new mortgage notes payable of approximately $4,864, and $3,711 in short-term notes, and made mortgage principal payments of approximately $8,654.
Dividends
Common Stock
We declared cash dividends to our shareholders during the period from January 1, 2014 to March 31, 2014 totaling $1,216 or $0.2250 per share, including amounts reinvested through the dividend reinvestment plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we paid cash dividends of $399 and dividends of $817 were reinvested under the dividend reinvestment plan. The cash dividends were paid with the $6,451 from our cash flows from operations and $334 provided by distributions from unconsolidated affiliates.
We declared cash dividends to our shareholders during the period from January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013 totaling $1,112 or $0.2100 per share, including amounts reinvested through the dividend reinvestment plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we paid cash dividends of $452 and dividends of $660 were reinvested under the dividend reinvestment plan. The cash dividends were paid with the $6,003 from our cash flows from operations and $271 provided by distributions from unconsolidated affiliates.
We continue to provide cash dividends to our shareholders from cash generated by our operations. The following chart summarizes the sources of our cash used to pay dividends. Our primary source of cash is cash flow provided by operating activities from our investments as presented in our cash flow statement. We also include distributions from unconsolidated affiliates to the extent that the underlying real estate operations in these entities generate these cash flows and the gain on sale of properties relates to net profits from the sale of certain properties. Our presentation is not intended to be an alternative to our consolidated statement of cash flows and does not present all sources and uses of our cash.

Limited Partnership Units
The operating partnership agreement provides that our operating partnership will distribute to the partners (subject to certain limitations) cash from operations on a quarterly basis (or more frequently, if we so elect) in accordance with the percentage interests of the partners. We determine the amounts of such distributions in our sole discretion.
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we declared and paid distributions of $3,124 to holders of limited partnership units in our operating partnership. Distributions were paid at a rate of $0.2250 per unit, which is equal to the per share distribution rate paid to the common shareholders. As of March 31, 2014, the limited partnership declared distributions of $3,124 which represented distributions for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, and we paid such amount on April 15, 2014.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we declared and paid distributions of $2,539 to holders of limited partnership units in our operating partnership. Distributions were paid at a rate of $0.2100 per unit, which is equal to the per share distribution rate paid to the common shareholders. As of March 31, 2013, the limited partnership declared distributions of $2,539 which represented distributions for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, and we paid such amount on April 15, 2013.
Sources of Dividends
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we paid aggregate dividends of $1,216, which were paid 100% from cash flows provided by operating activities. Our funds from operations, or FFO, was $6,335 while our modified funds from operations, or MFFO, as of March 31, 2014 was $6,696; therefore our management believes our distribution policy is sustainable over time. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we paid aggregate dividends of $1,112 which were paid 100% from cash flows provided by operating activities. Our FFO was $5,544 while our MFFO, as of March 31, 2013 was $6,432. For a further discussion of FFO and MFFO, including a reconciliation of FFO and MFFO to net income, see “Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations” above.
Cash Resources
At March 31, 2014, our cash resources consisted of cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $6,951. In addition, we had unencumbered properties with a gross book value of $48,120, which could potentially be used as collateral to secure additional financing in future periods.
We also have four lines of credit: (i) a $15,000 line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank (which expires in July 2015) secured by an office property in Duluth, Minnesota, four retail properties in Minnesota, one retail property in Texas, and four retail properties in North Dakota (ii) a $1,000 unsecured line of credit (which expires in October 2014) (iii) a $3,000 line of credit (which expires November 2014) with Bremer Bank secured by two commercial properties in Moorhead, Minnesota and an office property in St. Cloud, Minnesota and (iv) a $2,000 line of credit with Bell State Bank & Trust secured by a multi-family property in Fargo, North Dakota, which expires in June 2014. As of March 31, 2014, there was $2,339 outstanding on the lines of credit, leaving $18,661 available. As of December 31, 2013, there was no balance outstanding on the lines of credit.
In connection with our construction in progress, the Company anticipates obtaining an additional $12,000 line of credit. We presently expect the terms of the line of credit to be for 24 months with a variable interest rate based on 1-month LIBOR plus 2.5%, then subsequent to the initial period, rolling into a 5 year amortizing loan. The line will be used as needed to fund the construction of the residential project currently in process.
Our cash resources can be used for working capital needs and other commitments. Our lines of credit and certain mortgage note agreements include covenants that, in part, impose maintenance of certain debt service coverage and debt to worth ratios. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants.
The issuance of limited partnership units of the operating partnership in exchange for property acquisitions and sale of additional common or preferred shares is also expected to be a source of long-term capital for us. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we did not sell any common shares in private placements. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we issued 56,000 and 28,000 common shares under the dividend reinvestment plan, through dividends reinvested and the optional share purchases, respectively and raised gross proceeds of $1,143. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we did not sell any common shares in private placements. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we issued 53,000 and 11,000 common shares under the dividend reinvestment plan, through dividends reinvested and the optional share repurchases, respectively and raised gross proceeds of $851.
43
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we issued limited partnership units valued at approximately $5,352 in connection with the acquisition of four properties.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we issued limited partnership units valued at approximately $13,559 in connection with the acquisitions of nine properties.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

On March 28, 2013, September 26, 2013 and March 27, 2014 our Board of Trustees revised the Share Repurchase Plan and Unit Repurchase Plan. The amended and restated Share Repurchase Plan and Unit Repurchase Plan permits us to repurchase common shares held by our shareholders and limited partnership units held by members of our operating partnership, up to a maximum amount of $30,000 worth of shares and units, upon request by the holders after they have held them for at least one year and subject to other conditions and limitations described in the plan. The repurchase price for such shares and units repurchased under the plan was fixed at $13.00 per share or unit, which was increased to $14.00 effective October 16, 2013 and is the current repurchase price. The repurchase plan will terminate in the event the shares become listed on any national securities exchange, the subject of bona fide quotes on any inter-dealer quotation system or electronic communications network or are the subject of bona fide quotes in the pink sheets. Additionally, the Board, in its sole discretion, may terminate, amend or suspend the repurchase plans at any time if it determines to do so is in our best interest.
