INDUSTRIAL INCOME TRUST INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” refers to Industrial Income Trust Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in the annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) have been omitted. As such, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2015 (“2014 Form 10-K”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with GAAP.
Reclassifications
Certain items in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for 2014 have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. These reclassifications did not impact net cash provided by operating activities, net cash used in investing activities or net cash provided by (used in) financing activities.
Recent Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” The standard is based on the principle that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The guidance specifically excludes revenue derived from lease contracts from its scope. ASU 2014-09 was initially effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of the effective date of this standard. The revised effective date for the standard is for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. The FASB also approved changes allowing for early adoption of the standard as of the original effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU 2015-02”), which improves targeted areas of the consolidation guidance and reduces the number of consolidation models. The amendments in ASU 2015-02 are effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”), which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. The amendments in ASU 2015-03 are effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
2. | INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES |
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s consolidated investment in real estate properties consisted of 285 and 283 industrial buildings, respectively, totaling approximately 58.4 million and 57.6 million square feet, respectively.

(1) | The lines of credit may be extended pursuant to two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions. The Company anticipates meeting the conditions to extend the unsecured line of credit in December 2015, although there can be no assurance that it will be extended. |
Debt Covenants
The Company’s mortgage note financings and secured line of credit contain various property level covenants, including customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, the unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loans contain certain corporate level financial covenants, including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, and tangible net worth thresholds. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2015.
Derivative Instruments
To manage interest rate risk for certain of its variable rate debt, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its risk management strategy. These derivatives are designed to mitigate the risk of future interest rate increases by providing a fixed interest rate for a limited, pre-determined period of time. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involved the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had six outstanding interest rate swap contracts that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. Certain of the Company’s variable rate borrowings are not hedged, and therefore, to an extent, the Company has on-going exposure to interest rate movements.
The effective portion of the change in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is subsequently reclassified into earnings as interest expense for the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings, which is when the interest expense is recognized on the related debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there was no hedge ineffectiveness. The Company expects no hedge ineffectiveness in the next 12 months.

5. | FAIR VALUE |
Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates. These estimates may differ from the actual amounts that the Company could realize upon settlement.
The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1—Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Other observable inputs, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including:
• | Quoted prices for similar assets/liabilities in active markets; |
• | Quoted prices for identical or similar assets/liabilities in non-active markets (e.g., few transactions, limited information, non-current prices, high variability over time); |
• | Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset/liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, default rates); and |
• | Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data. |
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no financial instruments that were transferred among the fair value hierarchy levels. The Company also had no non-financial assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
Derivative Instruments. The derivative instruments are interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps are standard cash flow hedges whose fair value is estimated using market-standard valuation models. Such models involve using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Due to the interest rate swaps being unique and not actively traded, the fair value is classified as Level 2. See “Note 4” above for further discussion of the Company’s derivative instruments.
The table below includes fair values for certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The carrying values and fair values of these financial instruments were as follows:

Derivative instruments | 6,537 | 6,537 | 4,480 | 4,480 |
In addition to the previously described methods and assumptions for the derivative instruments, the following are the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the other financial instruments:
Notes Receivable.The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows on the notes receivable at current rates at which the Company believes similar loans would be made. Credit spreads and market interest rates used to determine the fair value of these instruments are based on Level 3 inputs.
Lines of Credit. The fair value of the lines of credit is estimated using discounted cash flow methods based on the Company’s estimate of market interest rates, which the Company has determined to be its best estimate of current market spreads over comparable term benchmark rates of similar instruments. Credit spreads relating to the underlying instruments are based on Level 3 inputs.
Unsecured Term Loans. The fair value of the term loans is estimated using discounted cash flow methods based on the Company’s estimate of market interest rates, which the Company has determined to be its best estimate of current market spreads over comparable term benchmark rates of similar instruments. Credit spreads relating to the underlying instruments are based on Level 3 inputs.

Mortgage Notes. The fair value of the mortgage notes is estimated using discounted cash flow methods based on the Company’s estimate of market interest rates, which the Company has determined to be its best estimate of current market spreads over comparable term benchmark rates of similar instruments. Credit spreads relating to the underlying instruments are based on Level 3 inputs.
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and distributions payable approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. As such, these assets and liabilities are not listed in the carrying value and fair value table above.

Public Offering
On July 28, 2015, the Company announced that beginning with the third quarter of 2015, it has suspended the offering of shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan in connection with the Company’s announcement that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which it will be acquired by Western Logistics II LLC. The Company registered $600.0 million in shares under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan and immediately prior to suspending the distribution reinvestment plan, offered the shares at a price of $10.49 per share. As of June 30, 2015, $518.7 million in shares had been sold pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. The distribution reinvestment plan will terminate effective as of the closing date of the merger. See “Note 10” below for further discussion of the merger.

8. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
The Company has been relying on Industrial Income Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), a related party, to manage the Company’s day-to-day operating and acquisition activities and to implement the Company’s investment strategy pursuant to the terms of a Seventh Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), dated February 21, 2015, by and among the Company, Industrial Income Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), and the Advisor. On July 27, 2015, the Company, the Operating Partnership and IIT Advisor LLC (the “New Advisor”) entered into the Eighth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “New Advisory Agreement”). For additional information with respect to the New Advisory Agreement, see “Note 10” below. The Advisor and New Advisor are considered to be related parties of the Company because certain indirect owners and officers of the Advisor and New Advisor serve as directors and/or executive officers of the Company. Dividend Capital Securities LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), also a related party, provides dealer manager services. The Advisor and Dealer Manager have received compensation in the form of fees and expense reimbursements for services relating to the Company’s public offerings and for the investment and management of the Company’s assets. The following summarizes these fees and expense reimbursements incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. All of these fees and expense reimbursements remain the same under the New Advisory Agreement except that the 2.0% disposition fee has been eliminated.
Acquisition Fees. Acquisition fees are payable to the Advisor in connection with the acquisition of real property, and will vary depending on whether the Advisor provides development services or development oversight services, each as described below, in connection with the acquisition (including, but not limited to, forward commitment acquisitions) or stabilization (including, but not limited to, development and value add transactions) of such real property, or both. The Company refers to such properties for which the Advisor provides development services or development oversight services as development real properties. For each real property acquired for which the Advisor does not provide development services or development oversight services, the acquisition fee is an amount equal to 1.0% of the total purchase price of the properties acquired (or the Company’s proportional interest therein), including in all instances real property held in joint ventures or co-ownership arrangements. In connection with providing services related to the development, construction, improvement or stabilization, including tenant improvements of development real properties, which the Company refers to collectively as development services, or overseeing the provision of these services by third parties on the
15
Table of Contents
Company’s behalf, which the Company refers to as development oversight services, the acquisition fee, which the Company refers to as the development acquisition fee, will equal up to 4.0% of total project cost, including debt, whether borrowed or assumed (or the Company’s proportional interest therein with respect to real properties held in joint ventures or co-ownership arrangements). If the Advisor engages a third party to provide development services directly to the Company, the third party will be compensated directly by the Company and the Advisor will receive the development acquisition fee if it provides the development oversight services.
Asset Management Fees. Asset management fees consist of (i) a monthly fee of one-twelfth of 0.80% of the aggregate cost (including debt, whether borrowed or assumed) (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of each real property asset within the Company’s portfolio (or the Company’s proportional interest therein with respect to real property held in joint ventures, co-ownership arrangements or real estate-related entities in which the Company owns a majority economic interest or that the Company consolidates for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP), provided, that the monthly asset management fee with respect to each real property asset located outside the U.S. that the Company owns, directly or indirectly, will be one-twelfth of 1.20% of the aggregate cost (including debt, whether borrowed or assumed) (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of such real property asset; (ii) a monthly fee of one-twelfth of 0.80% of the aggregate cost or investment (before non-cash reserves and depreciation, as applicable) of any interest in any other real estate-related entity or any type of debt investment or other investment; and (iii) a fee of 2.0% of the total consideration paid in connection with a disposition. The term “disposition” includes (a) a sale of one or more assets, (b) a sale of one or more assets effectuated either directly or indirectly through the sale of any entity owning such assets, including, without limitation, the Company or the Operating Partnership, or (c) a sale, merger, or other transaction in which the Company’s stockholders either receive, or have the option to receive, cash, securities redeemable for cash, and/or securities of a publicly traded company. The phrase “total consideration paid in connection with a disposition” includes without limitation, any debt or other liabilities assumed or taken subject to by a buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any transaction involving the acquisition of the equity of the Company, the Operating Partnership or other selling entity, the total consideration paid in connection with a disposition will be deemed to include (whether or not expressed in the net per share price), the value assigned by the applicable buyer to all assets (or the value of such assets implied by such buyer’s offer) before subtracting liabilities to derive the net per share purchase price.
Organization and Offering Expenses. The Company reimburses the Advisor for cumulative organization expenses and for cumulative expenses of its offerings up to 1.75% of the gross offering proceeds from its offerings. Organization costs are expensed and offering costs are reflected as a reduction in additional paid in capital. The Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor is responsible for the payment of the Company’s cumulative organization and offering expenses to the extent the total of such cumulative expenses exceeds the 1.75% organization and offering expense reimbursements from the Company’s offerings, without recourse against or reimbursement by the Company.
Other Expense Reimbursements. In addition to the reimbursement of organization and offering expenses, the Company is also obligated, subject to certain limitations, to reimburse the Advisor for certain costs incurred by the Advisor or its affiliates, such as personnel and overhead expenses, in connection with the services provided to the Company under the Advisory Agreement, provided that the Advisor does not receive a specific fee for the activities which generate the expenses to be reimbursed. The Advisor may utilize its employees to provide such services and in certain instances those employees may include the Company’s executive officers.
The table below summarizes the fees and expenses incurred by the Company for services provided by the Advisor related to the services described above, and any related amounts receivable (payable):

In addition, the Company may incur environmental remediation costs associated with certain land parcels it may acquire in connection with the development of land. The Company has acquired certain properties in urban and industrial areas that may have been leased to or previously owned by commercial and industrial companies that discharged hazardous material. The Company may purchase various environmental insurance policies to mitigate its exposure to environmental liabilities. The Company is not aware of any environmental liabilities that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or results of operations as of June 30, 2015.
10. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
The Agreement and Plan of Merger
On July 28, 2015, the Company, Western Logistics LLC (“Parent”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Global Logistic Properties Limited (“GLP”), and Western Logistics II LLC (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the “Surviving Entity”). Upon completion of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Company will cease. The board of directors of the Company has unanimously approved the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Prior to the closing of the Merger, the Company will transfer subsidiaries that own 11 of its properties that are under development or in the lease-up stage (the “Excluded Properties”) to a liquidating entity, the beneficial interests in which will be distributed pro rata to the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Merger Effective Time”).
Pursuant to the terms and conditions in the Merger Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Merger Effective Time, each share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $10.30, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding tax obligations (the “Merger Consideration”).
In addition, on the closing date of the Merger and prior to the Merger Effective Time, each special partnership unit of Industrial Income Operating Partnership LP, the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), will automatically be redeemed by the Operating Partnership for the receipt by the holder of such special partnership units of a number of partnership units of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”), in accordance with the operating partnership agreement (the “Special Partnership Unit Redemption”). Immediately after the Special Partnership Unit Redemption, each OP Unit received as part of the Special Partnership Unit Redemption will automatically be converted into one share of Common Stock of the Company (the “OP Unit Conversion”). The Merger will occur immediately after the OP Unit Conversion.

The Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement and the Contribution Agreement
Prior to July 27, 2015, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Prior Advisor were party to a Seventh Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, dated February 21, 2015 (the “Prior Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which the Prior Advisor performed certain duties and responsibilities as a fiduciary of the Company and its stockholders.
On July 27, 2015, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the New Advisor entered into the New Advisory Agreement, in order to, among other things, (i) acknowledge the assignment of the rights and obligations of the Prior Advisor under the Prior Advisory Agreement to the New Advisor, (ii) eliminate the portion of the asset management fee payable to the Company’s advisor by the Company in the case of certain dispositions equal to 2.0% of the contract sales price (the “Disposition Fee”), and (iii) reduce certain time periods with respect to the termination of the New Advisory Agreement from 60 days to 30 days. The Prior Advisor and Academy Partners Ltd. Liability Company, an affiliate of the Prior Advisor (“Academy Partners”), collectively own 100% of the limited liability company interests in the New Advisor. The foregoing description of the New Advisory Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Advisory Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
In addition, on July 28, 2015, the Operating Partnership, the Prior Advisor, Academy Partners and Industrial Property Advisors LLC entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”). As described in the Contribution Agreement, prior to the Merger Effective Time, the New Advisor will form a new wholly-owned limited liability company (the “Replacement Advisor”). Immediately thereafter, the New Advisor will: (i) assign its rights and obligations under the New Advisory Agreement to the Replacement Advisor (and the Replacement Advisor will become the advisor to the Company); and (ii) contribute all of its right, title and interest in and to certain intellectual property rights used in the business of the Company, which Parent wishes to acquire in connection with the Merger, to the Replacement Advisor. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, immediately thereafter and prior to the Merger Effective Time, (a) the New Advisor will distribute all of its right, title and interest in the Replacement Advisor and all of its liabilities to its members in liquidation of the New Advisor, and (b) following receipt of the interests in the Replacement Advisor, each of Prior Advisor and Academy Partners will contribute its right, title and interest in and to the Replacement Advisor to the Operating Partnership in exchange for an aggregate of approximately 8.83 million OP Units (the “Replacement Advisor Contribution”).
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, on July 28, 2015, the Merger Sub, the Prior Advisor and Academy Partners also entered into an Operating Partnership Unit Purchase Agreement (the “OP Unit Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, concurrently with the Merger Effective Time, Merger Sub will acquire all OP Units issued to the Prior Advisor and Academy Partners in the Replacement Advisor Contribution for an aggregate price of approximately $91.0 million, without adjustment or proration of any kind. Under the terms of the OP Unit Purchase Agreement, a certain portion of the consideration payable for the OP Units may be held in escrow until January 4, 2016 or the expiration of a non-competition arrangement pursuant to which the Prior Advisor is restricted from owning or managing industrial assets in Asia for a one-year period following the sale of the OP Units pursuant to the OP Unit Purchase Agreement (subject to certain exceptions). An additional portion of the consideration payable for the OP Units may be held in escrow for a two-year period from the date of the closing under the OP Unit Purchase Agreement to secure certain indemnification obligations, if any, under the Contribution Agreement. The Operating Partnership joined in the execution of the OP Unit Purchase Agreement for the limited purpose of consenting to the transfer of the OP Units to Merger Sub.

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, rent and occupancy growth, general conditions in the geographic area where we operate, our future debt and financial position, our future capital expenditures, future distributions and acquisitions (including the amount and nature thereof), other developments and trends of the real estate industry, business strategies and the expansion and growth of our operations. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “project,” or the negative of these words or other comparable terminology. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
The forward-looking statements included herein are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions, and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:
• | The failure of properties to perform as we expect; |
• | Risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions and development of properties; |
• | Unexpected delays or increased costs associated with our development projects; |
• | The availability of cash flows from operating activities for distributions and capital expenditures; |
• | Defaults on or non-renewal of leases by customers, lease renewals at lower than expected rent, or failure to lease properties at all or on favorable rents and terms; |
• | Difficulties in economic conditions generally and the real estate, debt, and securities markets specifically; |
• | Legislative or regulatory changes, including changes to the laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”); |
• | Our failure to obtain, renew, or extend necessary financing or access the debt or equity markets; |
• | Conflicts of interest arising out of our relationships with Industrial Income Advisors Group LLC (the “Sponsor”), the Advisor, and their affiliates; |
• | Risks associated with using debt to fund our business activities, including re-financing and interest rate risks; |
• | Increases in interest rates, operating costs, or greater than expected capital expenditures; |
• | Changes to GAAP; and |
• | Our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. |
Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could prove to be inaccurate. Our stockholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will increase with the passage of time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances, or any other reason. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, the risks described under “Risk Factors,” the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be achieved.

OVERVIEW
General
Industrial Income Trust Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on May 19, 2009 that has operated and elected to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010. We were organized to make investments in income-producing real estate assets consisting primarily of high-quality distribution warehouses and other industrial properties that are leased to creditworthy corporate customers. We utilize an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) organizational structure to hold all or substantially all of our assets through the Operating Partnership.
On December 18, 2009, we commenced our initial offering of up to $2.0 billion in shares of our common stock, including $1.5 billion in shares of common stock offered at a price of $10.00 per share and $500.0 million in shares offered under our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $9.50 per share. On April 17, 2012, immediately following the end of our initial offering, which closed on April 16, 2012, we commenced a follow-on offering of up to $2.4 billion in shares of our common stock, including $1.8 billion in shares of common stock offered at a price of $10.40 per share and $600.0 million in shares offered under our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $9.88 per share. On July 18, 2013, we terminated the offering of primary shares pursuant to our follow-on offering. On July 28, 2015, in connection with our announcement of the merger transaction described below, we suspended the offering of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. As of June 30, 2015, we had raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.2 billion from the sale of 218.3 million shares of our common stock in our public offerings, including approximately $177.0 million from the sale of 17.9 million shares of our common stock through our distribution reinvestment plan.
As of June 30, 2015, our consolidated real estate portfolio included 285 industrial buildings totaling approximately 58.4 million square feet located in 19 markets throughout the U.S. with 554 customers having a weighted-average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of 5.3 years. Of the 285 industrial buildings we owned and managed as of June 30, 2015:
• | 283 industrial buildings totaling approximately 57.4 million square feet comprised our operating portfolio, which includes stabilized properties, and was 94% occupied and 95% leased. The occupied rate reflects the square footage with a paying customer in place. The leased rate includes the occupied square footage and additional square footage with leases in place that have not yet commenced. |
• | 2 industrial buildings totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet comprised our development and value-add portfolio, which includes buildings acquired with the intention to reposition or redevelop, or buildings recently completed which have not yet reached stabilization. We generally consider a building to be stabilized on the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of a building’s shell completion or a building achieving 90% occupancy. |
As of June 30, 2015, we had six buildings under construction, totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet, and one building in the pre-construction phase with an additional 0.2 million square feet.
On July 28, 2015, we entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which we will be acquired by Western Logistics II LLC, an affiliate of Global Logistic Properties Limited. Prior to the closing of the merger transaction, it is expected that we will transfer 11 properties that we currently own that are under development or in the lease-up stage (the “Excluded Properties”) to a liquidating entity (the “Liquidating Entity”), the beneficial interests in which will be distributed pro rata to our current stockholders. The Liquidating Entity will sell such Excluded Properties following the closing of the merger with the goal of maximizing the value of the Excluded Properties for our stockholders. See “Note 10” of our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information concerning the merger transaction.
In connection with the announcement of the merger transaction, effective immediately, we have suspended our share redemption program and distribution reinvestment plan. In addition, each of the share redemption program and distribution reinvestment plan will terminate effective as of the closing date of the merger.
Our primary investment objectives include the following:
• | Preserving and protecting our stockholders’ capital contributions; |
• | Providing current income to our stockholders in the form of regular cash distributions; and |
• | Realizing capital appreciation upon the potential sale of our assets or other liquidity events. |
There is no assurance that we will attain our investment objectives. Our charter places numerous limitations on us with respect to the manner in which we may invest our funds. In most cases these limitations cannot be changed unless our charter is amended, which may require the approval of our stockholders.

Industrial Real Estate Outlook
The U.S. industrial property sector continues to show improvement supported by: (i) improving U.S. international trade volume as reflected in the increasing levels of both imported and exported goods; (ii) generally positive growth in U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”); (iii) increased domestic consumer spending, including significant growth in online retailing (or e-tailing); (iv) fundamental trends in both population and employment growth; and (v) strong positive net absorption in our target markets (the net change in total occupied industrial space). While the strength and sustainability of the recovery remain uncertain, both U.S. GDP and consumer spending indicators remain positive and we believe will continue growing over the next several quarters, which is encouraging, as there is a high correlation between these statistics and industrial demand. Further, forecasted growth in employment and population levels should help drive consumer spending over the longer-term, leading to increased utilization of distribution warehouses. Growth in export/import levels should continue to generate increased demand for industrial space in key U.S. logistics markets resulting in positive net absorption and combined with relatively low levels of new supply, provides prospects for rent growth over the next several years. However, an increase in supply could adversely affect rent growth.
Lending terms for direct commercial real estate loans and unsecured REIT financings have continued to improve; however, this trend may not continue, which could affect our ability to finance future operations and acquisition and development activities. We have managed, and expect to continue to manage, our financing strategy under the current mortgage lending and REIT financing environment by considering various lending sources, which may include long-term fixed rate mortgage loans; unsecured or secured lines of credit or term loans; private placement or public bond issuances; and assuming existing mortgage loans in connection with certain property acquisitions, or any combination of the foregoing.

Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Same Periods in 2014
The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. We evaluate the performance of operating properties we own and manage using a same store analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, thereby eliminating the effects of any material changes in the composition of the aggregate portfolio on performance measures. We have defined the same store portfolio to include operating properties owned for the entirety of both the current and prior reporting periods for which the operations had been stabilized. Other properties include buildings not meeting the same store criteria. The same store operating portfolio for the three month periods presented below included 267 buildings owned as of April 1, 2014, which represented 92% of total rentable square feet or 94% of total revenues as of June 30, 2015. The same store operating portfolio for the six month periods presented below included 265 buildings owned as of January 1, 2014, which represented 91% of total rentable square feet or 94% of total revenues as of June 30, 2015.

Rental Revenues. Rental revenues are comprised of base rent, straight-line rent, amortization of above- and below-market lease assets and liabilities, and tenant reimbursement revenue. Total rental revenues increased by 7.7% and 4.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2014, due to increases in both same store and non-same store rental revenues. Same store rental revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $2.6 million, or 3.4%, and $3.4 million, or 2.2%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to 4.6 million square feet of new customer leasing and an increase in recoverable real estate tax expenses related to higher real estate tax rates in 2015. These increases were partially offset by lease terminations totaling 3.3 million square feet. Non-same store rental revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $3.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to an increase of 2.7 million square feet in new customer leasing at newly-acquired or developed properties, which was partially offset by a decrease in non-same store rental revenues related to the sale of 20 industrial buildings in April 2014.

Rental Expenses. Rental expenses include certain property operating expenses typically reimbursed by our customers such as real estate taxes, property insurance, property management fees, repair and maintenance, and certain non-recoverable expenses such as consulting services and roof repairs; and property operating expenses for unoccupied spaces. Total rental expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 11.5% and $2.6 million, or 6.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2014, due to increases in both same store and non-same store rental expenses. Same store rental expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $1.1 million, or 5.8% and $1.1 million, or 2.6%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes related to higher real estate tax rates in 2015, which was partially offset by lower snow removal costs for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in non-same store rental expenses was primarily due to an increase in rental expenses associated with newly-acquired or developed properties, which was partially offset by a decrease in non-same store rental expenses related to the sale of 20 industrial buildings in April 2014.
Other Income and Expenses. Other expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to:
• | a gain of approximately $24.5 million as a result of the disposition of 20 industrial buildings in April 2014; and |
• | an increase in interest expense that was primarily due to an increase in average net borrowings under our lines of credit of $137.2 million and $109.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2014. In addition, our total weighted-average interest rate increased from 3.35% at June 30, 2014 to 3.55% at June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of the interest rate swap agreements which became effective in January 2015 on our $300.0 million unsecured term loan; both partially offset by |
• | a decrease in real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense primarily due to intangible leased assets becoming fully amortized in 2014, and the decrease in depreciation and amortization expense related to our disposition of 20 industrial buildings sold in April 2014. |
ADDITIONAL MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE
Net Operating Income (“NOI”)
We define NOI as GAAP rental revenues less GAAP rental expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, NOI was $61.1 million and $120.2 million, respectively, as compared to $57.5 million and $115.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Same store NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $1.5 million, or 2.6%, and $2.3 million, or 2.1%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2014. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure and believe NOI provides useful information to our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because NOI reflects the operating performance of our properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the properties, such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related expenses, general and administrative expenses, and interest expense. However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes such expenses, which could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI. Therefore, we believe net (loss) income, as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall performance. Refer to “Results of Operations—Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Same Periods in 2014” above for a reconciliation of our net (loss) income to NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Company-Defined FFO and Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”)
We believe that FFO, Company-defined FFO, and MFFO, in addition to net (loss) income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are useful supplemental performance measures that our management uses to evaluate our consolidated operating performance. However, these supplemental, non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss) income or to cash flows from operating activities as an indication of our performance and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. No single measure can provide users of financial information with sufficient information and only our disclosures read as a whole can be relied upon to adequately portray our financial position, liquidity, and results of operations. In addition, other REITs may define FFO and similar measures differently and choose to treat acquisition and strategic transaction costs and potentially other accounting line items in a manner different from us due to specific differences in investment and operating strategy or for other reasons.
FFO. As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), FFO is a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization and gains or losses on sales of assets. We believe FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance that is useful to investors because depreciation and amortization in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. In addition, FFO adjusts for gains or losses on the acquisition of certain joint venture properties. We use FFO as an indication of our consolidated operating performance and as a guide to making decisions about future investments.

Table of Contents
Company-defined FFO. Similar to FFO, Company-defined FFO is a non-GAAP measure that excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization and gains or losses on sales of assets, and also excludes acquisition costs (including acquisition fees paid to the Advisor), strategic transaction costs and loss from the early extinguishment of debt, each of which are characterized as expenses in determining net (loss) income under GAAP. We believe it is appropriate to adjust our Company-defined FFO for these items as they are driven by transactional activity and factors relating to the financial and real estate markets, rather than factors specific to the on-going operating performance of our properties or investments. Acquisition and strategic transaction costs are paid in cash out of operational cash flow, additional debt, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or ancillary cash flows, and, as a result, such costs negatively impact our operating performance and cash flows from operating activities during the period they are incurred. As such, Company-defined FFO may not be a complete indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired or strategic transactions costs are being incurred, and may not be a useful measure of the long-term operating performance of our properties if we do not continue to operate our business plan as disclosed.
MFFO. As defined by the Investment Program Association (“IPA”), MFFO is a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure used to evaluate our operating performance. Similar to FFO, MFFO excludes items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization and gains or losses on sales of assets. Similar to Company-defined FFO, MFFO excludes acquisition costs and loss from the early extinguishment of debt. MFFO also excludes straight-line rent and amortization of above- and below-market leases. In addition, there are certain other MFFO adjustments as defined by the IPA that are not applicable to us and are not included in our presentation of MFFO.
Management does not include historical acquisition costs and strategic transaction costs in its evaluation of future operating performance, as such costs are driven by transactional activity. In addition, management does not include loss from the early extinguishment of debt as such costs are driven by the financial markets, rather than factors specific to the on-going operating performance of our properties. We use Company-defined FFO and MFFO to, among other things: (i) evaluate and compare the potential performance of the portfolio after the acquisition phase is complete, and (ii) evaluate potential performance to determine liquidity event strategies. We believe Company-defined FFO and MFFO facilitate a comparison to other REITs that are not engaged in significant acquisition activity and have similar operating characteristics as us. We believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analyses and evaluation with the same performance metrics used by management in planning and executing our business strategy. We believe that these performance metrics will assist investors in evaluating the potential performance of the portfolio. However, these supplemental, non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of future performance and should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss) income or to cash flows from operating activities and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments used to calculate Company-defined FFO and MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT, or a regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-traded REIT industry at which point we may adjust our calculation and characterization of Company-defined FFO and MFFO.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Our primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements are cash flows generated by our real estate operations, debt financings and refinancings, and asset sales. Our principal uses of funds are operating expenses, distributions to our stockholders, payments under our debt obligations, and capital expenditures, all of which we expect to be able to adequately fund over the next 12 months from our primary sources of capital. We believe that our cash on-hand, cash flows from operations, and any financing and disposition activities should be sufficient to meet our anticipated future operating, distribution, debt service, and development and other capital requirements.

Cash Flows. The following table summarizes our cash flows, as determined on a GAAP basis, for the following periods:

|
Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $8.8 million as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily driven by the growth of our real estate portfolio, which resulted in a significant increase in net cash flows generated from our operating properties and an increase in net working capital accounts.
Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $43.5 million as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to proceeds received from the disposition of real estate properties in April 2014, partially offset by a reduction in our acquisition activity.
Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $49.2 million as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of higher net borrowings from our lines of credit, partially offset by an increase in repayments of mortgage notes and an increase in redemptions of common stock.
Capital Resources and Uses of Liquidity
In addition to cash flows from operations and cash and cash equivalent balances available, our capital resources and uses of liquidity are as follows:
Lines of Credit. As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately $338.0 million outstanding under our unsecured line of credit. The unused portion was approximately $162.0 million, of which approximately $81.3 million was available. Our unsecured line of credit is available for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to the acquisition and operation of industrial properties and other permitted investments. In June 2015, we extended the maturity date of our unsecured line of credit from August 2015 to December 2015. This line of credit may be extended pursuant to two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions. As of June 30, 2015, we had $137.0 million outstanding under our secured line of credit. The unused and available portion was $3.0 million. Our secured line of credit is available to finance the acquisition and operation of collateral properties. Amounts under this line of credit become available when properties are added as collateral pursuant to the loan agreement. Refer to “Note 4” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our lines of credit.
Unsecured Term Loans. As of June 30, 2015, we had $500.0 million outstanding under our unsecured term loan facilities with a weighted-average stated interest rate of 3.34%, which includes the effect of the interest rate swap agreements relating to both our $200.0 million and $300.0 million unsecured term loans. Our unsecured term loans are available for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to the acquisition and operation of industrial properties and other permitted investments. Refer to “Note 4” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our unsecured term loans.
Mortgage Note Financings. As of June 30, 2015, we had property-level borrowings of approximately $1.1 billion outstanding. These borrowings are secured by mortgages or deeds of trust and related assignments and security interests in the collateralized properties, and had a weighted-average stated interest rate of 4.24%. Refer to “Note 4” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details relating to our interest rate swaps. The proceeds from the mortgage note financings were used to partially finance certain of our acquisitions, and can be used to finance our capital requirements, which may include the funding of future acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions, and general corporate purposes.
Debt Covenants. Our mortgage notes and secured line of credit contain various property level covenants, including customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, the unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loans contain certain corporate level financial covenants, including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, and tangible net worth thresholds. These covenants may limit our ability to incur additional debt, make borrowings under our lines of credit, or pay distributions. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2015.

Table of Contents
Distributions. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, 51% of our total distributions were paid from cash flows from operating activities, as determined on a GAAP basis, and 49% of our total distributions were funded from sources other than cash flows from operating activities, specifically with proceeds from the issuance of distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) shares. Some or all of our future distributions may be paid from these sources, as well as from sales of assets, financing proceeds and our cash balances. We have not established a cap on the amount of our distributions that may be paid from any of these sources. Distributions will be authorized at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend on, among other things, current and projected cash requirements, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by our board. Our board of directors has authorized cash distributions at a quarterly rate of $0.15625 per share of common stock for the third quarter of 2015. As announced on July 28, 2015, as a result of the suspension of the distribution reinvestment plan, any distributions paid will be paid to stockholders in cash going forward.
There can be no assurances that the current distribution rate or amount per share will be maintained. We may need to utilize cash flows from financing activities, as determined on a GAAP basis, to supplement the payment of cash distributions, which if insufficient could negatively impact our ability to pay distributions.

Redemptions. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we received eligible redemption requests related to approximately 2.1 million and 1.0 million shares of our common stock, respectively, all of which we redeemed using cash flows from financing activities, for an aggregate amount of approximately $21.9 million, or an average price of $10.49 per share, and $9.6 million, or an average price of $10.01 per share, respectively. The aggregate amount expended for redemptions under our share redemption program is subject to certain caps not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received from the sale of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. However, to the extent that the aggregate proceeds received from the sale of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan are not at a level sufficient to fund redemption requests, subject to a five percent limitation as discussed in Part II, Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds—Share Redemption Program,” our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, choose to use other sources of funds to redeem shares of our common stock. Such sources of funds could include cash on hand and cash available from borrowings, to the extent that such funds are not otherwise dedicated to a particular use, such as working capital, cash distributions to stockholders, debt repayment, and purchases of property investments. On July 28, 2015, we announced that our board of directors had voted to terminate our share redemption program, effective as of the effective time of the merger transaction described in “Note 10” of our condensed consolidated financial statements and that our board of directors had suspended our share redemption program, from and after July 28, 2015.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
A summary of future obligations as of December 31, 2014, was disclosed in our 2014 Form 10-K. Except as otherwise disclosed in “Note 4” of our condensed consolidated financial statements relating to our principal payments due on our debt for the next five years and thereafter, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of June 30, 2015, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements, other than those disclosed under contractual obligations, that have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial position, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” The standard is based on the principle that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The guidance specifically excludes revenue derived from lease contracts from its scope. ASU 2014-09 was initially effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of the effective date of this standard. The revised effective date for the standard is for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. The FASB also approved changes allowing for early adoption of the standard as of the original effective date. We are currently evaluating the effect this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU 2015-02”), which improves targeted areas of the consolidation guidance and reduces the number of consolidation models. The amendments in ASU 2015-02 are effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”), which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. The amendments in ASU 2015-03 are effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions, and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. For a detailed description of our critical accounting estimates, see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2014 Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2015, our critical accounting estimates have not changed from those described in our 2014 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Interest Rate Risk
Our primary market risk is exposure to changes in interest rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows, and optimize overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we primarily borrow on a fixed interest rate basis for longer-term debt and utilize interest rate swap agreements on certain variable interest rate debt in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our results of operations. As part of our risk management strategy, we enter into interest swap agreements with high-quality counterparties to manage the impact of variable interest rates on interest expense. As of June 30, 2015, our debt instruments were comprised of mortgage note financings, unsecured term loans, and borrowings under our lines of credit.
Fixed Interest Rate Debt. As of June 30, 2015, our consolidated fixed interest rate debt consisted of mortgage notes and our unsecured term loans and represented 77.0% of our total consolidated debt. Our unsecured term loans were fixed through the use of the interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed interest rate debt unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes could affect the fair value of our fixed interest rate debt. As of June 30, 2015, the fair value and the carrying value of our consolidated fixed interest rate debt were approximately $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. The fair value estimate of our fixed interest rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated on June 30, 2015. As we expect to hold our fixed interest rate debt instruments to maturity, based on the underlying structure of the debt instrument, and that the amounts due under such instruments are limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that market fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed interest rate debt instruments, would have a significant impact on our operating cash flows.
Variable Interest Rate Debt. As of June 30, 2015, our consolidated variable interest rate debt consisted of borrowings under our lines of credit and represented 23.0% of our total consolidated debt. Interest rate changes in LIBOR could impact our future earnings and cash flows, but would not significantly affect the fair value of the variable interest rate debt instruments. As of June 30, 2015, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on approximately $475.0 million of aggregate consolidated borrowings. A hypothetical 10% change in the average interest rate on the outstanding balance of our variable interest rate debt as of June 30, 2015, would change our annual interest expense by approximately $0.5 million.
Derivative Instruments. As of June 30, 2015, we had six outstanding interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, with a total notional amount of $500.0 million. See “Note 4” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information concerning our derivative instruments.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2015. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our 2014 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and/or future results. The risks described in our 2014 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
With the exception of the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2014 Form 10-K.
There is no Assurance that the Merger will be Consummated.
There is no assurance that the Merger will be consummated or, if consummated, that certain terms may not change. The Merger Agreement is subject to a number of conditions that might prevent a closing of the Merger including, but not limited to, obtaining the approval of our stockholders. In addition, the Merger Agreement may be terminated by either party under certain circumstances. In connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, we would be required to pay termination amounts ranging from $25 million to $110 million. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Merger will be consummated according to the terms described herein or at all, and if it fails to close we may be liable for a significant termination amount.
ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
Share Redemption Program
Under the Fourth Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “SRP”) shares were redeemed at a price equal to 95% of the estimated net asset value per share most recently announced by us in a public filing with the SEC as of the date of the applicable redemption. Accordingly, shares redeemed under our share redemption program for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were redeemed at a price of $10.49 per share.
On July 28, 2015, we announced that our board of directors, including all of our independent directors, had voted to terminate the SRP effective as of the effective time of the merger transaction described in “Note 10” of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our board of directors, including all of our independent directors, also voted to suspend indefinitely the SRP from and after July 28, 2015. As a result of the suspension of the SRP, we will not process or accept any requests for redemption received after July 28, 2015.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we received eligible redemption requests related to approximately 2.1 million and 1.0 million shares of our common stock, respectively, all of which we redeemed using cash flows from financing activities, for an aggregate amount of approximately $21.9 million, or an average price of $10.49 per share, and $9.6 million, or an average price of $10.01 per share, respectively.
The table below summarizes the redemption activity for the three months ended June 30, 2015:
