Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited; however, amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2016 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, on a basis consistent with the annual audited consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2016, and the results of consolidated operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The results of the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.
The consolidated financial statements herein are condensed and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
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 disclosures 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.
Reclassifications
The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in order to be consistent with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported working capital or results of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consisted of demand deposits at commercial banks.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents cash for which the use of funds is restricted by certain loan documents. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had a restricted cash balance of $6,900,000, respectively, which represents amounts set aside as impounds to be disbursed to the Company (i) upon its achieving incremental occupancy and gross income thresholds at the Richardson Heights Property and the Bent Tree Green Property, and (ii) the completion of certain agreed upon capital repairs at the Cooper Street Property and the Mitchelldale

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Property. Restricted cash includes $6,500,000 of loan proceeds and $400,000 in cash, which have been deposited in an escrow account with a loan servicer.
Financial Instruments
The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accrued rent and accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, notes payable and due from (to) related parties. The Company considers the carrying value to approximate the fair value of these financial instruments based on the short duration between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of its notes payable approximates fair value.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s leases are accounted for as operating leases. Certain leases provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due and/or for increases or decreases in the minimum lease payments over the terms of the leases. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the individual leases. Revenue recognition under a lease begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased space. When the Company acquires a property, the term of existing leases is considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purposes of this calculation. Accrued rents are included in accrued rent and accounts receivable, net. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-10-S99, Revenue Recognition, the Company will defer the recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage rents, until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. Cost recoveries from tenants are included in tenant reimbursement and other revenues in the period the related costs are incurred.
Real Estate
Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets
Upon the acquisition of real properties, it is the Company’s policy to allocate the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land and buildings, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases and leasehold improvements and value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. The Company utilizes internal valuation methods to determine the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and buildings).
The fair values of above-market and below-market in-place lease values, including below-market renewal options for which renewal has been determined to be reasonably assured, are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (a) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (b) an estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases and below-market renewal options, which is generally obtained from independent appraisals, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The above-market and below-market lease and renewal option values are capitalized as intangible lease assets or liabilities and amortized as an adjustment of rental income over the remaining expected terms of the respective leases.
The fair values of in-place leases include direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, opportunity costs associated with lost rentals which are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease, and tenant relationships. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions, tenant improvements, and other direct costs and are estimated based on independent appraisals and management’s consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. These direct costs are included in intangible lease assets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of opportunity costs is calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. Customer relationships

HARTMAN SHORT TERM INCOME PROPERTIES XX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
are valued based on expected renewal of a lease or the likelihood of obtaining a particular tenant for other locations. These intangibles are included in real estate assets in the consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases.
The determination of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, discount rates and other variables. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of the purchase price allocations, which could impact the amount of the Company’s reported net loss.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 5 to 39 years for buildings and improvements. Tenant improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the life of the improvement or the remaining term of the lease. In-place leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the weighted average years calculated on terms of all of the leases in-place when acquired.
Impairment
The Company reviews its real estate assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. The Company determines whether an impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), including the estimated residual value of the property, with the carrying cost of the property. If impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the property exceeds its fair value. Management has determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of our real estate assets as of March 31, 2016.
Projections of expected future cash flows require management to estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, discount rates, the number of months it takes to release the property and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions in the future cash flow analysis would result in an incorrect assessment of the property’s future cash flow and fair value and could result in the overstatement of the carrying value of our real estate and related intangible assets and net income.
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value measures are classified into a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| |
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets. |
Level 2: | Directly or indirectly observable inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets. |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require a reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following valuation techniques: |
Market Approach: | Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. |
Cost Approach: | Amount required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). |
9
HARTMAN SHORT TERM INCOME PROPERTIES XX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
| |
Income Approach: | Techniques used to convert future amounts to a single amount based on market expectations (including present-value, option-pricing, and excess-earnings models). |
The Company’s estimates of fair value were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The Company classifies assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Accrued Rent and Accounts Receivable
Included in accrued rent and accounts receivable are base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to recording rents on a straight-line basis. An allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rent and accounts receivable is determined based upon customer credit-worthiness (including expected recovery of our claim with respect to any tenants in bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels, and current economic trends.
Deferred Leasing Commission Costs
Leasing commissions are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related lease agreements.
Goodwill
GAAP requires the Company to test goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently whenever events or circumstances occur indicating goodwill might be impaired. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, or if the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, the Company performs a two-step impairment test. In the first step, management compares its net book value of the Company to the carrying amount of goodwill at the balance sheet date. In the event net book value of the Company is less than the carrying amount of goodwill, the Company proceeds to step two and assesses the need to record an impairment charge. No goodwill impairment has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Organization and Offering Costs
The Company has incurred certain organization and offering expenses in connection with the organization of the Company and the offering of the Company’s shares of common stock in the Company’s public offering. These costs principally relate to professional and filing fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, such costs totaled $535,438 and $137,821, respectively.
Organization and offering expenses of the Company are paid directly by the Company or may be incurred by Advisor on behalf of the Company. Organization and offering expenses will be reimbursed by the Advisor to the Company following the completion of a public offering of the Company to the extent that organization and offering expenses incurred by the Company exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds from the completed public offering. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, the amount of offering and organizational expenses incurred in excess of 1.5% of gross offering proceeds was cumulatively $785,684 and $667,705 for the Company’s initial and follow-on offerings, respectively. The offering terminated on March 31, 2016 and accordingly the Company has recorded a receivable from the Advisor and recorded a contra expense of $785,684 resulting in a net credit for organization and offering expenses of $250,246 during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Selling commissions in connection with the Company’s public offering are recorded and charged to additional paid-in capital.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718) with regard to issuance of stock in payment of services. ASC 718 requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.
Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred and such costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs totaled $49,627 and $28,630 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2011. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income to stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that it distributes as dividends to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, the Company believes that it is organized and will operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,968,821 and $921,111, respectively. The Company does anticipate forming a taxable REIT subsidiary or otherwise generating future taxable income which may be offset by the net loss carry forward. The Company considers that any deferred tax benefit and corresponding deferred tax asset which may be recorded in light of the net loss carry forward would be properly offset by an equal valuation allowance. Accordingly, no deferred tax benefit or deferred tax asset has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company is required to recognize in its consolidated financial statements the financial effects of a tax position only if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the tax position will not be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Management has reviewed the Company’s tax positions and is of the opinion that material positions taken by the Company would more likely than not be sustained upon examination. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized a liability related to uncertain tax positions.
Loss Per Share
The computations of basic and diluted loss per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities include preferred shares that are convertible into the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015,
11
HARTMAN SHORT TERM INCOME PROPERTIES XX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
there were no shares issuable in connection with these potentially dilutive securities. These potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computations of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 because no shares are issuable and inclusion of such potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive.
Concentration of Risk
The Company maintains cash accounts in two U.S. financial institutions. The terms of these deposits are on demand to minimize risk. The balances of these accounts may exceed the federally insured limits. No losses have been incurred in connection with these deposits.
The geographic concentration of the Company’s real estate assets makes it susceptible to adverse economic developments in the State of Texas. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, relocations of businesses, increased competition or any other changes, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders
Major tenants are defined as those tenants which individually comprise more that 10% of the Company’s total rental revenues. The sole tenant of the Company’s Gulf Plaza property represents 7.5% and 14.4% of total rental revenues for three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) – Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in ASU 2015-03. We have adopted this guidance for all periods presented.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. Lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged. The guidance will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the timing, amount and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance and its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 8 — Income Taxes
Federal income taxes are not provided for because we qualify as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and because we have distributed and intend to continue to distribute all of our taxable income to our stockholders. Our stockholders include their proportionate taxable income in their individual tax returns. As a REIT, we must distribute at least 90% of our real estate investment trust taxable income to our stockholders and meet certain income sources and investment restriction requirements. In addition, REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.

Variable interest entities (“VIEs”) are defined as entities with a level of invested equity that is not sufficient to fund future operations on a stand-alone basis, or whose equity holders lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. For identified VIEs, an assessment must be made to determine which party to the VIE, if any, has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Note 10 – Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
Shares of common stock entitle the holders to one vote per share on all matters which stockholders are entitled to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions as authorized by the Company’s board of directors in accordance with the Maryland General Corporation Law and to all rights of a stockholder pursuant to the Maryland General Corporation Law. The common stock has no preferences or preemptive, conversion or exchange rights.
Under the Company’s articles of incorporation, the Company has authority to issue 750,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share.
As of March 31, 2016, the Company has accepted investors’ subscriptions for and issued 17,017,364 shares of the Company’s common stock in its initial and follow-on public offerings, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $165,856,646.
Preferred Stock
Under the Company’s articles of incorporation, the Company’s board of directors has the authority to issue one or more classes or series of preferred stock, and prior to the issuance of such stock, the board of directors shall have the power to classify or reclassify, in one or more series, any unissued shares and designate the preferences, rights and privileges of such shares. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, the Company has issued 1,000 shares of convertible preferred stock to the Advisor at a price of $10.00 per share.
Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock
The convertible preferred stock issued to the Advisor will convert to shares of the Company’s common stock if (1) the Company has made total distributions on then outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the issue price of those shares plus a 6% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on the issue price of those outstanding shares, (2) the Company lists its common stock for trading on a national securities exchange if the sum of prior distributions on then outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock plus the aggregate market value of the Company’s common stock (based on the 30-day average closing price) meets the same 6% performance threshold, or (3) the Company’s advisory agreement with the Advisor expires without renewal or is terminated (other than because of a material breach by the Advisor), and at the time of such expiration or termination the Company is deemed to have met the foregoing 6% performance threshold based on the Company’s enterprise value and prior distributions and, at or subsequent to the expiration or termination, the stockholders actually realize such level of performance upon listing or through total distributions. In general, the convertible stock will convert into shares of common stock with a value equal to 15% of the excess of the Company’s enterprise value plus the aggregate value of distributions paid to date on then outstanding shares of common stock over the aggregate issue price of those outstanding shares plus a 6% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on the issue price of those outstanding shares. With respect to conversion in connection with the termination of the advisory agreement, this calculation is made at the time of termination even though the actual conversion may occur later, or not at all.

These shares are fully vested when granted. These shares may not be sold while an independent director is serving on the board of directors. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the Company granted 1,500 and 1,500 shares of restricted common stock to independent directors as compensation for services. The Company recognized $15,000 as stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, based upon the estimated fair value per share. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Note 11 – Incentive Awards Plan
The Company has adopted an incentive plan (the “Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan” or the “Incentive Plan”) that provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock awards, restricted stock awards, dividend equivalent rights and other stock-based awards within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 422, or any combination of the foregoing. We have initially reserved 5,000,000 shares of our common stock for the issuance of awards under our stock incentive plan, but in no event may we grant awards with respect to more than ten (10%) percent of our issued and outstanding shares. The number of shares reserved under our stock incentive plan is also subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in our capitalization. Generally, shares that are forfeited or canceled from awards under our stock incentive plan also will be available for future awards. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an award of 1,000 shares of restricted common stock issued to each of two executives of the Property Manager during the three months ended March 31, 2016. We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $20,000 and $20,000 with respect to these awards based on the offering price of $10 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Incentive plan compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, including discussion and analysis of our financial condition, anticipated capital expenditures required to complete projects, amounts of anticipated cash distributions to our stockholders in the future and other matters, which are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but are the intent, belief or current expectations of our management based on its knowledge and understanding of our business and industry. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “predicts,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” or the negative of such terms and variations of these words and similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements that were true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. You are cautioned to not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q include:
·
our ability to effectively deploy the remaining net proceeds raised in our public offering which terminated effective March 31, 2016;
·
the fact that we have had a net loss for each annual period since our inception;
·
the imposition of federal taxes if we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year or forego an opportunity to ensure REIT status;
·
uncertainties related to the national economy, the real estate industry in general and in our specific markets;
·
legislative or regulatory changes, including changes to laws governing REITS;
·
construction costs that may exceed estimates or construction delays;
·
increases in interest rates;
·
availability of credit or significant disruption in the credit markets;
·
litigation risks;
·
risks inherent to the real estate business, including tenant defaults, potential liability related to environmental matters and the lack of liquidity of real estate investments;
·
inability to obtain new tenants upon the expiration of existing leases at our properties;
·
inability to generate sufficient cash flows due to market conditions, competition, uninsured losses, changes in tax or other applicable laws;
·
the potential need to fund tenant improvements or other capital expenditures out of operating cash flow;
·
the fact that we pay fees and expenses to our advisor and its affiliates that were not negotiated on an arm’s length basis and the fact that the payment of these fees and expenses increases the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us;
·
our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to pay distributions to our stockholders;
·
our ability to retain our executive officers and other key personnel of our advisor and other affiliates of our advisor; and
·
changes to generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
21
The forward-looking statements should be read in light of these factors and the factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim consolidated financial information.
Overview
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on February 5, 2009 to invest in and operate real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic basis. We may acquire a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, and other real properties. These properties may be existing, income-producing properties, newly constructed properties or properties under development or construction. In particular, we will focus on acquiring properties with significant possibilities for short-term capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment or repositioning or those located in markets with high growth potential. We also may invest in real estate-related securities and, to the extent that our advisor determines that it is advantageous, we may invest in mortgage loans. We expect to make our investments in real estate assets located in the United States and other countries.
On February 9, 2010, we commenced our initial public offering to sell a maximum of $250,000,000 in shares of our common stock to the public in our initial public offering at a price of $10 per share and up to $23,750,000 in shares of common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $9.50 per share. On April 25, 2013, we terminated our initial public offering. As of the termination of our initial public offering on April 25, 2013, we had accepted subscriptions for and issued 4,455,678 shares of our common stock, including 162,561 shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in aggregate gross offering proceeds of $43,943,731.
On July 16, 2013, we commenced our follow-on offering of up to $200,000,000 in shares of our common stock to the public at a price of $10.00 per share and up to $19,000,000 in shares of our common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $9.50 per share. As of March 31, 2016, we had accepted subscriptions for, and issued 12,561,686 shares of our common stock in our follow-on offering, including 858,306 shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $121,912,915. As of March 31, 2016, we had accepted subscriptions for, and issued 17,017,364 shares of our common stock in our initial public offering and follow-on offering, including 1,020,867 shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $165,856,646.
Effective March 31, 2016, we terminated the offer and sale of our common shares to the public in our follow-on offering. The sale of shares of our common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan will continue until as late as July 16, 2016. As of May 9, 2016, we had accepted subscriptions for, and issued 18,420,937 shares of our common stock in our initial public offering and our follow-on offering, including 1,066,080 shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $179,650,953.
We intend to invest the remaining net proceeds of our public offering in commercial real estate properties and other real estate-related investments. As of March 31, 2016, we owned 15 commercial real properties comprising approximately 2,395,910 square feet.
We operate under the direction of our board of directors, the members of which are accountable to us and our stockholders. We are externally managed by Hartman Advisors, LLC, which we refer to as our “advisor,” pursuant to an advisory agreement by and among us and our advisor, which we refer to as the “Advisory Agreement.” Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our advisor manages our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of properties and real estate related assets. Our advisor sources and presents investment opportunities to our board of
22
directors. Our advisor also provides investment management, marketing, investor relations and other administrative services on our behalf. The key personnel of our advisor are involved in the selection, acquisition, financing and disposition of our properties, and raising the capital to purchase. The key personnel of our advisor have extensive experience in selecting and operating commercial real estate and in operating investment entities that acquire commercial real estate. Our affiliated property manager is Hartman Income REIT Management, Inc. which we refer to as our “property manager,” which is responsible for operating, leasing and maintaining our properties. Our property manager is the wholly owned subsidiary of Hartman Income REIT, Inc. which we refer to as “HIREIT”, a real estate investment trust that has investment objectives that are similar to those that we employ.
Investment Objectives and Strategy: Hartman Advantage
Our primary investment objectives are to:
| | |
| · | realize growth in the value of our investments; |
| · | preserve, protect and return stockholders’ capital contributions; and |
| · | grow net cash from operations and pay regular cash distributions to our stockholders. |
We cannot assure our stockholders that we will achieve these objectives.
The cornerstone of our investment strategy is our advisor’s discipline in acquiring a portfolio of real estate properties, specifically properties that are located in Texas, that offer a blend of current and potential income based on in place occupancy plus relatively significant potential for growth in income and value from re-tenanting; repositioning or redevelopment. We refer to this strategy as “value add” or the “Hartman Advantage.”
We rely upon the value add or Hartman Advantage strategy to evaluate numerous potential commercial real estate acquisition and investment opportunities per completed acquisition or investment.
Effective March 31, 2016 we terminated our follow-on offering. Our board of directors continues to evaluate potential liquidity events to maximize the total potential return to our stockholders, including, but not limited to, merging our Company with its affiliates followed by a listing of our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange. Management currently estimates the possible timing for such a liquidity event to be during late 2016 or 2017. However, our board of directors has not made a decision to pursue any specific liquidity event, and there can be no assurance that we will complete a liquidity event on the terms described above, or at all.
We do not anticipate that there will be any market for our shares of common stock unless they are listed on a national securities exchange. In the event that our shares of common stock are not listed or traded on an established securities exchange prior to the tenth anniversary of the completion or termination of our initial public offering, our charter requires that the board of directors must seek the approval of our stockholders of a plan to liquidate our assets, unless the board of directors has obtained the approval of our stockholders (1) to defer the liquidation of our assets or (2) of an alternate strategy.
We believe that we have sufficient capital to meet our existing debt service and other operating obligations for the next year and that we have adequate resources to fund our cash needs. However, our operations are subject to a variety of risks, including, but not limited to, changes in national economic conditions, the restricted availability of financing, changes in demographic trends and interest rates and declining real estate valuations. As a result of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that we will meet our investment objectives or that the risks described above will not have an adverse effect on our properties or results of operations.
We elected under Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed as a REIT beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2011. As a REIT we generally are not subject to federal income tax on income that we
23
distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year after the year in which we initially elected to be treated as a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is denied. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income. However, we believe that we are organized and will operate in a manner that will enable us to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and we intend to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

On April 4, 2016, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Market Place Boulevard, Irving, LLC, for the acquisition of a three story suburban office building located in Irving, Texas comprising approximately 165,982 square feet commonly referred to as “Westway One.” The aggregate purchase price for Westway One is $21,800,000, exclusive of closing costs. We intend to finance the acquisition of Westway One with remaining net proceeds from our follow-on public offering and financing secured by the property.
Westway One is currently 100% occupied by six tenants.
24
The acquisition of Westway One is subject to customary conditions to closing, including (1) our ability to obtain appropriate financing secured by Westway One and (2) the absence of a material adverse change to Westway One prior to the acquisition date. There is no assurance that we will close the acquisition of Westway One on the terms described above or at all.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our results of operations and financial condition, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes, require us to make estimates and assumptions that are subject to management’s evaluation and interpretation of business conditions, changing capital market conditions and other factors related to the ongoing viability of our customers. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our consolidated financial statements. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." There have been no significant changes to these policies during the three months ended March 31, 2016. See also Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of our significant accounting policies.
RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2016 versus March 31, 2015.
As of March 31, 2016 we owned 15 commercial properties comprising approximately 2,395,910 square feet plus three pad sites, all located in Texas. As of March 31, 2016, we owned seven properties located in Richardson, Arlington, and Dallas, Texas, six properties located in Houston, Texas and two properties located in San Antonio, Texas. As of March 31, 2015 we owned nine commercial properties comprising approximately 1,377,422 square feet plus three pad sites, all located in Texas. As of March 31, 2015, we owned four properties located in Richardson, Arlington, and Dallas, Texas, four properties located in Houston, Texas and one property located in San Antonio, Texas.
We define same store (“Same Store”) properties as those properties which we owned for the entirety of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. For purposes of the following discussion, Same Store properties refer to Richardson Heights, Cooper Street, Bent Tree Green, Parkway, Gulf Plaza, Mitchelldale, Energy Plaza, Timbercreek and Copperfield properties. New store (“New Store”) properties refer to Commerce Plaza Hillcrest, 400 North Belt, Ashford Crossing, Corporate Park Place, Skymark Tower and One Technology Center.
Net operating income (property revenues minus property expenses), or “NOI,” is the measure used by management to assess property performance. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or “GAAP,” and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the operating results of our real estate.

Property NOI | $3,929,571 | $2,425,220 | $1,504,351 |
Revenues – The primary source of our revenue is rental revenues and tenant reimbursements. For three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 we had total rental revenues and tenant reimbursements of $9,249,691 and $4,878,328, respectively. The $4,371,363 increase in total rental revenues and tenant reimbursements was primarily due to the fact that we owned 15 properties as of March 31, 2016, as compared to the nine properties we owned as of March 31, 2015. Same Store property revenues increased by $312,269, or approximately 6.4%, for three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to three months ended March 31, 2015.
Operating expenses – Operating expenses consist of property operating expenses (contract services, repairs and maintenance, utilities and management fees); real estate taxes and insurance; asset management fees and some general and administrative expenses. For three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 we had operating expenses of $5,320,120 and $2,453,108, respectively. Same Store operating expenses increased $501,389 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 over the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to increased repair and maintenance costs which are included in property operating expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Fees to affiliates – We pay acquisition fees and asset management fees to our advisor in connection with the acquisition of properties and management of our company. Asset management fees to our advisor were $332,600 and $201,218 for three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Acquisition costs related to the acquisition of our properties were $0 for three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. The increase in acquisition and asset management fees is attributable to the six properties we acquired between May and November in 2015, and the fact that we owned 15 properties as of March 31, 2016, as compared to the nine properties we owned as of March 31, 2015. We pay property management and leasing commissions to our Property Manager in connection with the management and leasing of our properties. For three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 we paid our Property Manager $327,319 and $189,538, respectively, for property management fees and $367,315 and $82,269, respectively, for leasing commissions. The increase in property management fees we paid to our Property Manager from three months ended March 31, 2015 to three month’s ended March 31, 2016
26
was primarily due to the increase in revenues attributable to the six properties acquired between May to November in 2015.
Real estate taxes and insurance – Real estate taxes and insurance were $1,187,011 and $722,324 for three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in real estate taxes and insurance from three months ended March 31, 2015 to three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to the fact that we owned 15 properties as of March 31, 2016, as compared to the nine properties we owned as of March 31, 2015.
Depreciation and amortization – Depreciation and amortization were $5,302,264 and $2,450,879 for three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Depreciation and amortization increased from three months ended March 31, 2015 to three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to the fact that we owned 15 properties as of March 31, 2016, as compared to the nine properties we owned as of March 31, 2015.
General and administrative expenses - General and administrative expenses were $574,821 and $319,547 for three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of audit fees, transfer agent fees, other professional fees, and independent director compensation. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to increased professional fees and certain recoverable and non-recoverable property operating expenses. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase only modestly in future periods as we acquire additional real estate and real estate related assets. We expect general and administrative expenses to decrease substantially as a percentage of total revenue.
Organizational and offering costs - We have incurred certain expenses in connection with our organization and the sale of our shares of common stock. These costs principally relate to professional and filing fees. As of March 31, 2016, such costs totaled $3,128,060 and have been expensed as incurred since February 5, 2009, the date of our inception. For three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, organization and offering costs were ($250,246) and $137,821, respectively.
Organization and offering expenses of the Company are paid directly by the Company or may be incurred by Advisor on behalf of the Company. Organization and offering expenses will be reimbursed by the Advisor to the Company following the completion of a public offering of the Company to the extent that organization and offering expenses incurred by the Company exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds from the completed public offering. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, the amount of offering and organizational expenses incurred in excess of 1.5% of gross offering proceeds was cumulatively $785,684 and $667,705 for the Company’s initial and follow-on offerings, respectively. The offering terminated on March 31, 2016 and accordingly the Company has recorded a receivable from the Advisor and recorded a contra expense of $785,684 resulting in a net credit for organization and offering expenses of $250,246 during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Net loss – We incurred net losses of $1,968,821 and $921,111 for three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The net loss for three months ended March 31, 2016 is primarily attributable to (i) asset management fees and (ii) depreciation and amortization expense attributable to real estate assets.
Funds From Operations and Modified Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, which we believe is an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a real estate investment trust, or REIT in conjunction with net income. FFO is used by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004, or the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property and asset impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
27
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.
The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or is requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Additionally, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions which can change over time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indications exist and if the carrying, or book value, exceeds the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows (including net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and any other ancillary cash flows at a property or group level under GAAP) from such asset. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted future cash flows from a property, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows, are taken into account in determining whether an impairment charge has been incurred. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges.
Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization and impairments, provides a more complete understanding of the our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. However, FFO and MFFO, as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP FFO and MFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.
Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses for all industries as items that are expensed under GAAP, that are typically accounted for as operating expenses. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-listed REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after the acquisition activity ceases. We intend to use the remaining net proceeds raised in our follow-on offering to continue to acquire properties, and intend to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., the listing of our common stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale or our company or another similar transaction) within ten years of the completion of our initial public offering. The Investment Program Association, or “IPA,” an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as Modified Funds From Operations, or “MFFO,” which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT having the characteristics described above. MFFO is not equivalent to
28
our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (i.e., the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring our properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our public offering has been completed and our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance after our public offering and acquisitions are completed with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. Investors are cautioned that MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our public offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.
We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, nonrecurring unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized.
Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition related expenses. We do not currently exclude amortization of above and below market leases, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments, deferred rent receivables and the adjustments of such items related to noncontrolling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by us, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to investors. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which properties are acquired and will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. Accordingly, MFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired. MFFO that excludes such costs and expenses would only be comparable to non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activities and have similar operating characteristics to us. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities. In addition, we view fair value adjustments of derivatives and gains and losses from dispositions of assets as non-recurring items or items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized, and which are not reflective of on-going operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. As disclosed elsewhere in the Prospectus, the purchase of properties, and
29
the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make distributions to investors. Acquisition fees and expenses will not be reimbursed by the advisor if there are no further proceeds from the sale of shares in our public offering, and therefore such fees and expenses will need to be paid from either additional debt, operational earnings or cash flows, net proceeds from the sale of properties or from ancillary cash flows.
Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that our use of MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that reflects certain characteristics that are unique to non-listed REITs, such as their limited life, limited and defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and hence that the use of such measures is useful to investors. For example, acquisitions costs are funded from the remaining net proceeds of our public offerings and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.
Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of its liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund its cash needs including its ability to make distributions to its stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. FFO and MFFO are not useful measures in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining FFO or MFFO.
Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT, or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and as a result we may have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO.
The table below summarizes our calculation of FFO and MFFO for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and a reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial performance measures to our net loss.

Amount of distributions paid in shares of common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan.
For three months ended March 31, 2016, we paid aggregate distributions of $2,478,189, including distributions paid in shares of common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. During the same period, cash used in operating activities was $6,925,759 and our FFO was $3,333,443. For three months ended March 31, 2016, 100% of distributions were paid from cash provided by offering proceeds. For three months ended March 31, 2015, we paid aggregate distributions of $1,416,861, including distributions paid in shares of common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. During the same period, cash used in operating activities was $621,230 and our FFO was $1,529,768. For three months ended March 31, 2015, 100% were paid from offering proceeds. For the period from inception (January 20, 2011 was the date we first paid distributions) to March 31, 2016, we paid aggregate distributions of $20,040,441. During the period from our inception to March 31, 2016, our cash provided by operating activities was $5,633,035, our net loss was $20,066,726 and our FFO was $12,414,141.
31
Of the $20,040,441 in aggregate distributions paid to our stockholders from inception to March 31, 2016, approximately 28% was paid from net cash provided by operating activities and approximately 72% was funded from offering proceeds. For a discussion of how we calculate FFO, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Funds From Operations and Modified Funds From Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2016, we had issued 17,014,364 shares of our common stock in our initial and follow-on public offerings, including 1,020,867 shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in aggregate gross offering proceeds of $165,856,646. Effective March 31, 2016, we terminated the offer and sale of our common shares to the public in our follow-on offering. The sale of shares of our common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan will continue until as late as July 16, 2016.
Our principal demands for funds are and will continue to be for real estate and real estate-related acquisitions, for the payment of operating expenses, for the payment of interest on our outstanding indebtedness, and for the payment of distributions. Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions from our cash flow from operations; provided, that some or all of our distributions have been and may continue to be paid from sources other than cash from operations (as discussed below). We expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions from the remaining net proceeds of our follow-on offering and from financings.
Some or all of our distributions have been and may continue to be paid from sources other than cash flow from operations, including proceeds of our public offerings, cash advances to us by our advisor, cash resulting from a waiver of asset management fees and borrowings secured by our assets in anticipation of future operating cash flow. We may have little, if any, cash flow from operations available for distribution until we make substantial investments and those investments stabilize. In addition, to the extent our investments are in development or redevelopment projects or in properties that have significant capital requirements, our ability to make distributions may be negatively impacted, especially during our early periods of operation.
We use, and intend to use in the future, secured and unsecured debt to acquire properties and make other investments. As of March 31, 2016, our outstanding secured debt is $72,184,067. There is no limitation on the amount we may invest in any single property or other asset or on the amount we can borrow for the purchase of any individual property or other investment. Under our charter, we are prohibited from borrowing in excess of 300% of our “net assets” (as defined by our charter) as of the date of any borrowing; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors and if such excess is disclosed to the stockholders in the next quarterly report along with the explanation for such excess borrowings. Our board of directors has adopted a policy to limit our aggregate borrowings to approximately 50% of the aggregate value of our assets unless substantial justification exists that borrowing a greater amount is in our best interests. Such limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets and only will apply once we have ceased raising capital in our public offering and invested substantially all of our capital. As a result, we expect to borrow more than 50% of the contract purchase price of each real estate asset we acquire to the extent our board of directors determines that borrowing these amounts is prudent.
Our advisor may, but is not required to, establish capital reserves from remaining gross offering proceeds, out of cash flow generated by operating properties and other investments or out of non-liquidating net sale proceeds from the sale of our properties and other investments. Capital reserves are typically utilized for non-operating expenses such as tenant improvements, leasing commissions and major capital expenditures. Alternatively, a lender may require its own formula for escrow of capital reserves.
Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from additional private or public offerings of our securities, secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of properties and undistributed funds from operations. If necessary, we may use financings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures.
32
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
As of March 31, 2016 we had continuing operations from 15 commercial real estate properties versus nine properties owned as of March 31, 2015. During three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash used in operating activities was $6,925,759 versus $621,230 net cash used in operating activities for three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities is primarily attributable to the increase in the number of operating properties we owned. We expect cash flows from operating activities to increase in future periods as a result of additional acquisitions of real estate and real estate related investments.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash used in investing activities was $11,394,570 versus $1,304,774 for three months ended March 31, 2015 and consisted primarily of cash used for the investment in Hartman Income REIT in amount of $8,958,579 and an acquisition deposit in amount of $1,500,000.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from our ongoing public offering and distributions paid to our common stockholders. Net cash provided by financing activities for three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, was $19,902,883 and $9,022,759 and consisted of the following:
·
$25,068,251 and $9,839,261, respectively of cash provided by offering proceeds related to our public offering, net of payments of commissions on sales of common stock and related dealer manager fees of $1,352,821 and $474,075, respectively;
·
$3,896,389 and $113,221, respectively of cash paid for term loan principal repayments and net repayments of revolving credit facilities; and,
·
$1,268,979 and $703,281, respectively of net cash distributions, after giving effect to distributions reinvested by stockholders of $1,209,210 and $713,580, respectively.
Contractual Commitments and Contingencies
We use, and intend to use in the future, secured and unsecured debt, as a means of providing additional funds for the acquisition of our properties and our real estate-related assets. We believe that the careful use of borrowings will help us achieve our diversification goals and potentially enhance the returns on our investments. Under our charter, we are prohibited from borrowing in excess of 300% of our net assets, which generally approximates to 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets. We may borrow in excess of this amount if such excess is approved by a majority of the independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report, along with a justification for such excess. In such event, we will monitor our debt levels and take action to reduce any such excess as practicable. Our aggregate borrowings are reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly. As of March 31, 2016, our borrowings were not in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets.
In addition to using our capital resources for investing purposes and meeting our debt obligations, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor. We expect to make payments to our advisor or its affiliates in connection with the selection and origination or purchase of real estate and real estate-related investments, the management of our assets, the management of the development or improvement of our assets and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us.
As of March 31, 2016, we had notes payable totaling an aggregate principal amount of $72,184,067. For more information on our outstanding indebtedness, see Note 6 (Notes Payable) to the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Projected interest payments are based on the outstanding principal amounts and weighted-average interest rates at March 31, 2016.
(3)
Purchase obligations were excluded from contractual obligations as there were no binding purchase obligations as of March 31, 2016.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 to the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with our advisor and its affiliates whereby we have paid, and may continue to pay, certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, our advisor and its affiliates. See Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence” and Note 10 (Related Party Transactions) to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.
Review of our Investment Policies
Our board of directors, including our independent directors, has reviewed our investment policies as described in this Report and determined that such policies are in the best interests of our stockholders based on the following factors: (1) such policies increase the likelihood that we will be able to acquire a diversified portfolio of income producing properties, thereby reducing risk in our portfolio; (2) our executive officers and directors and the affiliates of our advisor have expertise with the type of real estate investments we seek; (3) there are sufficient property acquisition opportunities with the attributes that we seek; and (4) borrowings should enable us to purchase assets and earn income more quickly, thereby increasing the likelihood of generating income for our stockholders and preserving stockholder capital.
Subsequent Events
On April 7, 2016, our board of directors determined an estimated value per share of our common stock of $12.40 as of December 31, 2015. We provided the estimated value per share of our common stock to assist the broker dealers that participated in our initial and follow-on public offerings in meeting their ongoing customer account statement reporting obligations under the current rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.,
34
or “FINRA.” The valuation committee of our board of directors, comprised of our independent directors, oversaw the process of determining the estimated value per share. In determining the estimated value per share, the valuation committee relied upon information provided in a report provided by WKW Financial Advisors, an independent consulting firm providing authoritative studies, financial analysis, valuation and strategic advisory services, engaged with the approval of the valuation committee. The valuation committee also relied upon our board’s experience with, and knowledge of, our company and its real property and other assets as of December 31, 2015.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We will be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties and make loans and other permitted investments. Our interest rate risk management objectives will be to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we expect to borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.
