Status of the Offering
We are offering up to a maximum of $1,500,000,000 in shares of our common stock in this primary initial public offering, consisting of two classes of shares: Class A shares at a price of $10.39 per share and Class T shares at a price of $10.00 per share. Both classes of shares have discounts available to certain categories of purchasers. The amount of selling commissions differs among Class A shares and Class T shares, and there is an ongoing stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class T shares sold in the primary initial public offering. We are also offering up to a maximum of $800,000,000 in shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan: Class A shares at a price of $9.88 per share and Class T shares at a price of $9.50 per share. We are offering to sell any combination of Class A and Class T shares in our primary offering and our distribution reinvestment plan offering. We reserve the right to reallocate shares between the primary offering and our distribution reinvestment plan offering, and to reallocate shares among classes of common stock, if we elect to offer additional classes in the future.
As of March 6, 2017, we had sold 246,104 and 211,323 shares of Class A and Class T common stock, respectively, in this initial public offering for gross offering proceeds of $4.6 million. Included in these amounts are 174,895 and 1,304 shares of Class A and Class T common stock, respectively, sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $1.7 million. As of March 6, 2017, there were $2,295,437,354 of shares of common stock available for sale in this initial public offering, including $798,259,645 of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan.
Risk Factors
The following risk factors supplement, supersede and replace, as appropriate, the risk factors appearing in the prospectus and in supplement no. 13.
Disruptions in the financial markets and uncertain economic conditions could continue to adversely impact the commercial mortgage market as well as the market for real estate-related debt investments generally, which could hinder our ability to implement our business strategy and generate returns to our stockholders.
The returns available to investors generated by real estate-related investments are determined by: (i) the supply and demand for such investments; (ii) the terms we are able to negotiate for our investments; (iii) the performance of the assets underlying the investments; and (iv) the existence of a market for such investments, which includes the ability to sell or finance such investments.
During periods of volatility, the number of investors participating in the market may change at an accelerated pace. As liquidity or “demand” increases, the returns available to investors on new investments will decrease. Conversely, a lack of liquidity will cause the returns available to investors on new investments to increase.
Conditions in the global capital markets remain volatile as of the first quarter of 2017. Current economic data and financial market developments suggest that the global economy is improving, although at a slow and uneven pace. European economic growth has recently picked up, whereas the U.K. and China remain areas of concern. Against this backdrop, the central banks of the world’s major industrialized economies are beginning to back away from their strong monetary accommodation. Quantitative easing in Japan and the Eurozone is slowing, but the liquidity generated from these programs continues to impact the global capital markets.
At a duration of 91 months (as of year-end 2016), the current business cycle, which commenced in June 2009, is the fourth longest in U.S. history, including the post-World War II cycle, which lasted 58 months. In December 2016 the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “FED”) increased interest rates for the second time since the 2008 financial crisis. Expectations are for the rate increases to continue in the wake of ongoing economic growth and some acceleration in inflationary pressures, with the goal of the FED to normalize the level of interest rates. Little in the U.S. macroeconomic data suggests that the economy is growing too rapidly, or overheating, the primary symptom of trouble ahead for the cycle. Real GDP growth has settled in at approximately 2% per year, and job growth has averaged about 1.7%. Personal income growth has started to pick up and unemployment statistics indicate that labor force conditions are finally showing real improvements.
The U.S. commercial real estate market continues to benefit from inflows of foreign capital, particularly from China. With the backdrop global political conflict, and stabilizing international economic conditions, the U.S. dollar has remained a safe haven currency. The volume of available capital that is seeking “core” properties has helped to push the pricing of some assets past prior peaks, making some markets look expensive. Reduced leverage ratios have shifted more risk toward the equity investor. Traditional sources of capital are favoring a “risk-off” approach, where investors’ appetite for risk falls, when valuing investments. Investors acquiring properties are extremely selective, with cap rate compression having spread into secondary markets over the last two years. Commercial real estate returns are increasingly being driven by property income (yield), as opposed to price appreciation through cap rate compression.
Lenders with long memories remain disciplined in their underwriting of investments. For balance sheet lenders, such as banks and insurance companies, underwriting standards for commercial real estate have been tightened. This has resulted in lower loan-to-value and higher debt coverage ratios. CMBS originations also have been limited as lenders are attempting to adjust to new securitization rules which require issuers to maintain an ongoing equity stake in pooled transactions. These trends have led to increased uncertainty in the level and cost of debt for commercial properties, and in turn has injected some volatility into commercial real estate markets.
A major factor contributing to the strength of the real estate cycle is the difficulty of securing construction financing. Lack of construction financing is effectively keeping an oversupply of commercial real estate, which is typical late in a real estate cycle, from emerging. Bank regulators and new risk-based capital guidelines have enforced discipline in lending, which has helped reduce new construction.
Because our stockholders will not have the opportunity to evaluate all additional investments we may make before we make them, we are considered to be a “blind pool.” We may make investments with which our stockholders do not agree.
As of December 31, 2016, we owned three office buildings and, except as described in a supplement to this prospectus, we had not acquired or identified any additional real estate investments that it is reasonably probable we will acquire or originate with the proceeds from our offering stage. As a result, we are not able to provide our stockholders with any information to assist them in evaluating the merits of any specific assets that we may acquire. We will seek to invest substantially all of the net proceeds from our offering stage, after the payment of fees and expenses, in real estate investments. Our board of directors and our advisor have broad discretion when identifying, evaluating and making such investments. Our stockholders will have no opportunity to evaluate the transaction terms or other financial or operational data concerning specific investments before we invest in them. Furthermore, our board of directors will have broad discretion in implementing policies regarding tenant or mortgagor creditworthiness and our stockholders will likewise have no opportunity to evaluate potential tenants, managers or borrowers. As a result, our stockholders must rely on our board of directors and our advisor to identify and evaluate our investment opportunities, and they may not be able to achieve our business objectives, may make unwise decisions or may make investments with which our stockholders do not agree.
We have a limited operating history and we may not be able to operate our business successfully or generate sufficient revenue to make or sustain distributions to our stockholders.
We were incorporated in the State of Maryland on January 12, 2015 and commenced investment operations in August 2015 in connection with the acquisition of our first office property. As of December 31, 2016, we owned three office buildings. We cannot assure our stockholders that we will be able to operate our business successfully or implement our operating policies and strategies described in this prospectus. We can provide no assurance that our performance will replicate the past performance of other KBS-sponsored programs. Our investment returns could be substantially lower than the returns achieved by other KBS-sponsored programs. The results of our operations depend on several factors, including the availability of opportunities for the acquisition of target assets, the level and volatility of interest rates, the availability of short and long-term financing, and conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions.
Regulatory developments related to how we report our estimated value per share under recently effective FINRA and NASD Conduct Rules and changes to the definition of “fiduciary” under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, may significantly affect our ability to raise substantial additional funds in this offering.
In April 2016, final regulations went into effect that require FINRA members and their associated persons that participate in this offering to disclose a per share estimated value of our shares developed in a manner reasonably designed to ensure that the per share estimated value is reliable. As a result, we report the net investment amount of our shares as our estimated value per share, which net investment amount is based on the “amount available for investment/net investment amount” percentage shown in our estimated use of proceeds table and is effectively the purchase price of our primary offering shares, less the associated selling commission, dealer manager fee, and estimated organization and other offering expenses as shown in our estimated use of proceeds table. Also in April 2016, the Department of Labor issued a final regulation relating to the definition of a fiduciary under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. The final regulation broadens the definition of fiduciary and is accompanied by new and revised prohibited transaction exemptions relating to investments by employee benefit plans subject to Title I of ERISA or retirement plans or accounts subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (including IRAs). The final regulation and the related exemptions were originally scheduled to apply for investment transactions on and after April 10, 2017, but the final regulation has been recommended for reconsideration pursuant to executive order. The final regulation and the accompanying exemptions are complex, implementation may be further delayed, and the final regulation remains subject to potential further revision prior to implementation. Plan fiduciaries and the beneficial owners of IRAs are urged to consult with their own advisors regarding this development. These regulatory developments may significantly affect our ability to raise substantial additional funds in this offering.
Our dealer manager may not be successful in conducting this offering through a network of broker dealers, which would adversely impact our ability to implement our investment strategy.
We have retained KBS Capital Markets Group, an affiliate of our advisor, to conduct this offering. The success of this offering, and our ability to implement our business strategy, depends upon the ability of KBS Capital Markets Group to grow and maintain a network of broker-dealers to sell our shares to their clients. Broker-dealers in this network have a choice of numerous competing real estate investment trust offerings, many with similar investment objectives, to recommend to their clients, which may make selling our shares to their clients more difficult. In addition, we are adding an online distribution channel pursuant to which potential investors may buy our shares through a registered broker-dealer online. Our online distribution channel is new and unproven. Some broker-dealers in the network that our dealer manager has established for this offering may decide not to participate in an offering that includes an online distribution channel, potentially making the success of this offering more reliant on our online distribution channel. If KBS Capital Markets Group is not successful in growing, operating and managing this network of broker-dealers, or if we do not successfully integrate an online distribution channel into our offering, our ability to raise proceeds in this offering will be limited and we may not have adequate capital to implement our investment strategy. If we are unsuccessful in implementing our investment strategy, our stockholders could lose all or a part of their investment.
Investors in this offering will experience immediate dilution of their investment in us primarily because (i) any upfront fees paid in connection with the sale of our shares reduce the proceeds to us, (ii) approximately 8,611,335 shares of our Class A common stock were sold at a weighted average purchase price of approximately $8.98 per share for weighted average net proceeds of approximately $8.30 per share in private transactions, and (iii) significant organization and other offering expenses were paid in connection with our private offering.
Stockholders who purchase shares in this offering will incur immediate dilution of their investment in us. This is primarily because of the reasons discussed herein. We generally pay upfront fees, including selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering expenses in connection with this offering that are not available for investment in real estate. In addition, we sold approximately 8,611,335 shares of our Class A common stock at a weighted average purchase price of approximately $8.98 per share, which is substantially below the purchase price of our Class A common stock in this offering, for which we received weighted average net proceeds of approximately $8.30 per share in private transactions. Further, organization and offering expenses in our private offering were not subject to a cap and through March 24, 2016, our advisor and its affiliates had incurred organization and other offering costs (which exclude selling commissions and dealer manager fees) on our behalf in connection with our private offering of approximately $1,198,000. To date, we have reimbursed all of these expenses. To the extent our investments in three office buildings have not offset the dilutive effect of the incurrence of organization and offering expenses and the sale of Class A shares prior to commencement of this offering at a purchase price of less than the purchase price in this offering; the current value per share for investors purchasing our stock in this offering will be below the current offering price.
Because the current offering prices for our Class A and Class T shares in this primary offering exceed the net tangible book value per share, investors in this offering will experience immediate dilution in the net tangible book value of their shares.
We are currently offering shares of our Class A common stock and our Class T common stock in this offering at $10.39 and $10.00 per share, respectively, with discounts available as described in this prospectus. We are also offering shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $9.88 per share of Class A common stock and at a price of $9.50 per share of Class T common stock. Our current public offering prices for our Class A and Class T shares exceed our net tangible book value per share, which amount is the same for both classes. Our net tangible book value per share is a rough approximation of value calculated as total book value of assets minus total book value of liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. Net tangible book value is used generally as a conservative measure of net worth that we do not believe reflects our estimated value per share. It is not intended to reflect the value of our assets upon an orderly liquidation of the company in accordance with our investment objectives. However, net tangible book value does reflect certain dilution in value of our common stock from the issue price in this initial public offering primarily as a result of (i) the substantial fees paid in connection with this offering and our now-terminated private offering, including selling commissions and marketing fees re-allowed by our dealer manager to participating broker-dealers, (ii) the fees and expenses paid to our advisor and its affiliates in connection with the selection, acquisition, management and sale of our investments, (iii) general and administrative expenses, (iv) accumulated depreciation and amortization of real estate investments, and (v) the sale of approximately 8,611,335 shares of our Class A common stock in private transactions at a weighted average purchase price of approximately $8.98 per share for which we received weighted average net proceeds of approximately $8.30 per share. Included in the shares of Class A common stock sold in private transactions are 21,181.2380 and 21,181.2390 shares of our Class A common stock purchased by Charles J. Schreiber, Jr., our chief executive officer, the chairman of the board and one of our directors, and one of the indirect owners of our advisor, and Peter M. Bren, our president and one of the indirect owners of our advisor, respectively, which each purchased for $172,500 or $8.144 per share. The Class A per share purchase price reflected an 8.5% discount to the $8.90 initial offering price in our private offering for our Class A common stock because selling commissions and dealer manager fees were not paid in connection with the sales. Mr. Bren’s investment was made on behalf of and for the accounts of three of his children, and he has disclaimed beneficial ownership of the shares.
As of December 31, 2016, our net tangible book value per share of shares of our Class A and Class T common stock, was $7.21. To the extent we are able to raise substantial proceeds in this offering, some of the expenses that cause dilution of the net tangible book value per share are expected to decrease on a per share basis, resulting in increases in the net tangible book value per share. This increase would be partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization expenses related to our real estate investments.
We have paid distributions from advances from our advisor and debt financing. In the future we may continue to pay distributions from financings, including an advance from our advisor, and we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operations. To the extent we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have less funds available for investment in assets, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors will experience dilution.
We expect to have little, if any, cash flow from operations available for distribution until we make substantial investments, and we therefore expect that portions of distributions made during our first few years of operations will be considered a return of capital. During our offering stage, when we may raise capital more quickly than we acquire income-producing assets, and for some period after our offering stage, we may not be able to pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operations, in which case distributions may be paid in whole or in part from debt financing, including advances from our advisor. Our distributions paid through December 31, 2016 have been paid from advances from our advisor and debt financing and we expect that in the future we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operations.
We may fund distributions from any source, including, without limitation, offering proceeds or borrowings (which may constitute a return of capital). We may also fund such distributions from the sale of assets or from the maturity, payoff or settlement of debt investments. If we fund distributions from borrowings, our interest expense and other financing costs, as well as the repayment of such borrowings, will reduce our earnings and cash flow from operations available for distribution in future periods. If we fund distributions from the sale of assets or the maturity, payoff or settlement of debt investments, this will affect our ability to generate cash flow from operations in future periods. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have fewer funds available with which to make real estate investments, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors will experience dilution. In addition, to the extent distributions exceed cash flow from operations, a stockholder’s basis in our stock will be reduced and, to the extent distributions exceed a stockholder’s basis, the stockholder may recognize capital gain. There is no limit on the amount of distributions we may fund from sources other than from cash flow from operations.
For the period from January 27, 2015 through December 31, 2015, we paid aggregate distributions of $107,216, including $53,386 of distributions paid in cash and $53,830 of distributions reinvested through our distribution reinvestment plan. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with an advance from our advisor. For the period from January 27, 2015 through December 31, 2015, our cash flow from operating activities to distributions paid coverage ratio was 0%. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we paid aggregate distributions of $3.4 million, including $1.6 million of distributions paid in cash and $1.8 million of distributions reinvested through our distribution reinvestment plan. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with $1.2 million of advances from our advisor and $2.2 million of debt financing. For the year ended December 31, 2016, our cash flow from operating activities to distributions paid coverage ratio was 0%.
KBS Capital Advisors and its affiliates, including all of our executive officers and our affiliated director and other key real estate and debt finance professionals, face conflicts of interest caused by their compensation arrangements with us and with other KBS-sponsored programs, which could result in actions that are not in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.
All of our executive officers and our affiliated director and other key real estate and debt finance professionals are also officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, our dealer manager and/or other KBS-affiliated entities. KBS Capital Advisors and its affiliates receive substantial fees from us. These fees could influence our advisor’s advice to us as well as the judgment of its affiliates. Among other matters, these compensation arrangements could affect their judgment with respect to:
| |
• | the continuation, renewal or enforcement of our agreements with KBS Capital Advisors and its affiliates, including the advisory agreement, the dealer manager agreement and the affiliated property management agreement; |
| |
• | offerings of equity by us, which will entitle KBS Capital Markets Group to dealer manager fees and will likely entitle KBS Capital Advisors to increased acquisition and origination fees and asset management fees; |
| |
• | sales of real estate investments, which will entitle KBS Capital Advisors to disposition fees and possible subordinated incentive fees; |
| |
• | acquisitions of real estate investments, which entitle KBS Capital Advisors to acquisition or origination fees based on the cost of the investment and asset management fees based on the cost of the investment, and not based on the quality of the investment or the quality of the services rendered to us, which may influence our advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us and/or transactions that are not in our best interest and, in the case of acquisitions of investments from other KBS-sponsored programs, which might entitle affiliates of KBS Capital Advisors to disposition fees and possible subordinated incentive fees in connection with its services for the seller; |
| |
• | borrowings to acquire real estate investments, which borrowings will increase the acquisition and origination fee payable to KBS Capital Advisors; |
| |
• | whether and when we seek to list our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange, which listing (i) may make it more likely for us to become self-managed or internalize our management or (ii) could entitle KBS Capital Advisors to a subordinated incentive fee, and which could also adversely affect the sales efforts for other KBS-sponsored programs, depending on the price at which our shares trade; and |
| |
• | whether and when we seek to sell the company or its assets, which sale could entitle KBS Capital Advisors to disposition fees or a subordinated incentive fee and terminate the asset management fee. |
Our officers, our advisor and the real estate, debt finance, management and accounting professionals assembled by our advisor face competing demands on their time and this may cause our operations and our stockholders’ investment to suffer.
We rely on our officers, our advisor and the real estate, debt finance, management and accounting professionals that our advisor retains, including Messrs. Bren, Hall, Schreiber and Waldvogel and Ms. Yamane, to provide services to us for the day-to-day operation of our business. KBS REIT I, KBS REIT II, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, KBS REIT III and KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II are also advised by KBS Capital Advisors and rely on many of the same real estate, debt finance, management and accounting professionals, as will future KBS-sponsored programs and KBS-advised investors. Further, our officers and affiliated director are also officers and/or an affiliated director of some or all of the other public KBS-sponsored programs. Messrs. Bren, Hall, Schreiber and Waldvogel and Ms. Yamane are also executive officers of KBS REIT I, KBS REIT II and KBS REIT III. Messrs. Hall and Waldvogel and Ms. Yamane are executive officers of KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT and KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, and Messrs. Bren and Waldvogel and Ms. Yamane are executive officers of KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT. In addition, Messrs. Bren and Schreiber and Ms. Yamane are executive officers of KBS Realty Advisors and its affiliates, the advisors of the private KBS-sponsored programs and the KBS-advised investors. As a result of their interests in other KBS-sponsored programs, their obligations to KBS-advised investors and the fact that they engage in and will continue to engage in other business activities on behalf of themselves and others, Messrs. Bren, Hall, Schreiber and Waldvogel and Ms. Yamane face conflicts of interest in allocating their time among us, KBS REIT I, KBS REIT II, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, KBS REIT III, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, KBS Capital Advisors and other KBS-sponsored programs and KBS-advised investors, as well as other business activities in which they are involved. In addition, KBS Capital Advisors and KBS Realty Advisors and their affiliates share many of the same key real estate, management and accounting professionals. During times of intense activity in other programs and ventures, these individuals may devote less time and fewer resources to our business than are necessary or appropriate to manage our business. Furthermore, some or all of these individuals may become employees of another KBS-sponsored program in an internalization transaction or, if we internalize our advisor, may not become our employees as a result of their relationship with other KBS-sponsored programs. If these events occur, the returns on our investments, and the value of our stockholders’ investment, may decline.
All of our executive officers, our affiliated director and the key real estate and debt finance professionals assembled by our advisor face conflicts of interest related to their positions and/or interests in KBS Capital Advisors and its affiliates, including our dealer manager, which could hinder our ability to implement our business strategy and to generate returns to our stockholders.
All of our executive officers, our affiliated director and the key real estate and debt finance professionals assembled by our advisor are also executive officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, our dealer manager and/or other KBS-affiliated entities. Through KBS-affiliated entities, some of these persons also serve as the investment advisors to KBS-advised investors and, through KBS Capital Advisors and KBS Realty Advisors, these persons serve as the advisor to KBS REIT I, KBS REIT II, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, KBS REIT III, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II and other KBS-sponsored programs. As a result, they owe fiduciary duties to each of these entities, their members and limited partners and these investors, which fiduciary duties may from time to time conflict with the fiduciary duties that they owe to us and our stockholders. Their loyalties to these other entities and investors could result in action or inaction that is detrimental to our business, which could harm the implementation of our business strategy and our investment and leasing opportunities. Further, Messrs. Bren, Hall, McMillan and Schreiber and existing and future KBS-sponsored programs and KBS-advised investors generally are not and will not be prohibited from engaging, directly or indirectly, in any business or from possessing interests in any other business venture or ventures, including businesses and ventures involved in the acquisition, development, ownership, leasing or sale of real estate investments. If we do not successfully implement our business strategy, we may be unable to generate the cash needed to make distributions to our stockholders and to maintain or increase the value of our assets.
Because other programs offered through our dealer manager are conducting offerings concurrently with this offering, our dealer manager may face potential conflicts of interest arising from competition among us and these other programs for investors and investment capital, and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor.
Our dealer manager also acts as the dealer manager for KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II. KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II is raising capital in its public offering concurrently with this offering. In addition, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT has filed a registration statement with the SEC to conduct a follow-on offering that is in registration with the SEC. In addition, from time to time KBS Capital Markets Group serves as the dealer manager for private programs. Future programs may also seek to raise capital through our dealer manager through offerings conducted concurrently with this offering. As a result, our dealer manager may face conflicts of interest arising from potential competition with these other programs for investors and investment capital. Our sponsor generally seeks to avoid simultaneous offerings by programs that have a substantially similar mix of investment characteristics, including key investment objectives. Nevertheless, there may be periods during which one or more programs will be raising capital and may compete with us for investment capital. Such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and our stockholders will not have the opportunity to evaluate the manner in which these conflicts of interest are resolved before or after making an investment in our shares.
Our board of directors’ loyalties to KBS REIT I, KBS REIT II and KBS REIT III, and possibly to future KBS-sponsored programs could influence its judgment, resulting in actions that may not be in our stockholders’ best interest or that result in a disproportionate benefit to another KBS-sponsored program at our expense.
Our affiliated director is also an affiliated director of KBS REIT I, KBS REIT II and KBS REIT III. The loyalties of our director serving on the boards of directors of KBS REIT I, KBS REIT II and KBS REIT III, or possibly on the boards of directors of future KBS-sponsored programs, may influence the judgment of our board of directors when considering issues for us that also may affect other KBS-sponsored programs, such as the following:
| |
• | We could enter into transactions with other KBS-sponsored programs, such as property sales, acquisitions or financing arrangements. Such transactions might entitle our advisor or its affiliates to fees and other compensation from both parties to the transaction. For example, acquisitions from other KBS-sponsored programs might entitle our advisor or its affiliates to disposition fees and possible subordinated incentive fees in connection with its services for the seller in addition to acquisition or origination fees and other fees that we might pay to our advisor in connection with such transaction. Similarly, property sales to other KBS-sponsored programs might entitle our advisor or its affiliates to acquisition or origination fees in connection with its services to the purchaser in addition to disposition and other fees that we might pay to our advisor in connection with such transaction. Decisions of our board regarding the terms of those transactions may be influenced by our board’s loyalties to such other KBS-sponsored programs. |
| |
• | A decision of our board regarding the timing of a debt or equity offering could be influenced by concerns that the offering would compete with offerings of other KBS-sponsored programs. |
| |
• | A decision of our board regarding the timing of property sales could be influenced by concerns that the sales would compete with those of other KBS-sponsored programs. |
| |
• | A decision of our board regarding whether and when we seek to list our common stock on a national securities exchange could be influenced by concerns that such listing could adversely affect the sales efforts of other KBS-sponsored programs, depending on the price at which our shares trade. |
Our stockholders may not be able to sell their shares under our share redemption program and, if our stockholders are able to sell their shares under the program, they may not be able to recover the amount of their investment in our shares.
Our share redemption program includes numerous restrictions that severely limit our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares should they require liquidity and will limit our stockholders’ ability to recover the value they invested in our common stock. Our stockholders must hold their shares for at least one year in order to participate in our share redemption program, except for Special Redemptions. We limit the number of shares redeemed pursuant to our share redemption program as follows: (i) during any calendar year, we may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year and (ii) during each calendar year, redemptions will be limited to the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year; however, we may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. Further, we have no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. These limits may prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any year.
If and when we do have funds available for redemption, with respect to Ordinary Redemptions, for those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least one year, we expect to initially redeem shares submitted for redemption at 95.0% of the price paid to acquire the shares from us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stock dividends will initially be redeemed at the “net investment amount” per share, which will be based on the “amount available for investment/net investment amount” percentage shown in our estimated use of proceeds table. For each class of shares, this amount will initially equal $9.40 per share for redemptions of shares received as a result of a stock dividend. Once we announce an estimated NAV per share of our common stock, for those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least one year, we will redeem all shares submitted in connection with an Ordinary Redemption at 95.0% of our estimated NAV per share as of the applicable redemption date.
For purposes of determining whether a redeeming stockholder has held the share submitted for redemption for at least one year, the time period begins as of the date the stockholder acquired the share; provided, that shares purchased by the redeeming stockholder pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan or received as a stock dividend will be deemed to have been acquired on the same date as the initial share to which the distribution reinvestment plan shares or stock dividend shares relate. The date of the share’s original issuance by us is not determinative.
We expect to announce an estimated NAV per share no later than September 25, 2018. We generally expect to update the estimated NAV per share in December of each year. We will report the estimated NAV per share in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC.
In March 2009, in order to preserve capital and value for all stockholders during the economic crisis, KBS REIT I amended its share redemption program to limit Ordinary Redemptions during any calendar year to the amount of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under its dividend reinvestment plan from the prior calendar year less amounts KBS REIT I deemed necessary from such proceeds to fund its current and future funding obligations and needs. Pursuant to this limitation, KBS REIT I suspended Ordinary Redemptions for the remainder of 2009 and from 2010 through March 2012. KBS REIT I provided notice of this amendment in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 27, 2009, and the amendment was effective upon 30 days’ notice. The amendment became effective before the April 30, 2009 redemption date. As a result, investors did not have a final opportunity to submit redemptions. In March 2012, KBS REIT I amended and restated its share redemption program to provide only for Special Redemptions. Special Redemptions are limited to an annual amount determined by KBS REIT I’s board of directors which may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time during the year.
On January 24, 2014, in consideration of the cash requirements necessary to effectively manage KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT’s assets, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT amended and restated its share redemption program to limit redemptions to $2.0 million of shares in the aggregate during any calendar year. Additionally, during any calendar year, once KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT has redeemed $1.5 million of shares under its share redemption program, including special redemptions, the remaining $0.5 million of the $2.0 million annual limit shall be reserved exclusively for special redemptions. KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT provided notice of this amendment and restatement of its share redemption program in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 28, 2014 and its amended and restated share redemption program became effective for redemptions under the program on or after February 27, 2014. Because of these limitations on the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under its share redemption program, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT exhausted funds available for all redemptions for 2014 in August 2014. The $2.0 million annual limitation was reset beginning January 1, 2015 and the outstanding unfulfilled redemption requests as of December 31, 2014 were fulfilled in January 2015. Because of limitation on the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under its share redemption program described above, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT exhausted funds available for all redemptions for the remainder of 2015 in March 2015. The $2.0 million annual limitation was reset beginning January 1, 2016 and $1.0 million of the outstanding unfulfilled redemption requests as of December 31, 2015, representing 103,808 shares, were fulfilled in January 2016. In January 2016, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT exhausted the $1.5 million of funds available for all redemptions for 2016 and in August 2016, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT exhausted the $0.5 million of funds available for special redemptions for the remainder of 2016. As of December 31, 2016, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT had $1.4 million of outstanding and unfulfilled ordinary redemption requests and $0.3 million of outstanding and unfulfilled special redemption requests. The annual limitation was reset on January 1, 2017, and KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT had an aggregate of $2.0 million of funds available for all redemptions, subject to the limitations in the share redemption program, including the requirement that the first $1.5 million of funds is available for all redemptions and the last $0.5 million is available solely for special redemptions. KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT exhausted $1.5 million of funds available for all redemptions for 2017 in January 2017 and an aggregate of $0.3 million of funds available for special redemptions for 2017 in January and February 2017. As such, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT will only be able to process $0.2 million of redemption requests related to special redemptions for the remainder of 2017.
On May 15, 2014, KBS REIT II amended and restated its share redemption program to provide only for special redemptions. Special redemptions are limited to an annual amount determined by KBS REIT II’s board of directors which may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time during the year. KBS REIT II provided notice of this amendment and restatement of its share redemption program in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 19, 2014 and its amended and restated share redemption program became effective for redemptions under the program on June 18, 2014.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT’s redemptions were limited to $3.0 million of shares in a given quarter (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”). To the extent that KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT redeemed less than $3.0 million of shares (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”) in a given fiscal quarter, any remaining excess capacity to redeem shares in such fiscal quarter was added to the capacity to otherwise redeem shares (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”) during succeeding fiscal quarters. In December 2016, the amount of redemption requests in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence” was less than the amount of the $1.0 million reserved for such redemptions under the share redemption program, therefore the excess funds were used to redeem shares not requested in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence” during such month. In 2017, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT may not redeem more than $3.0 million of shares in a given quarter (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”). To the extent that KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT redeems less than $3.0 million of shares (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”) in a given fiscal quarter, any remaining excess capacity to redeem shares in such fiscal quarter will be added to our capacity to otherwise redeem shares (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”) during succeeding fiscal quarters. The last $1.0 million of net proceeds from the dividend reinvestment plan during 2016 is reserved exclusively for shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability,” or “determination of incompetence” with any excess funds being available to redeem shares not requested in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence” on the December 2017 redemption date. Based on the amount of net proceeds raised from the sale of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during 2016, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT has $12.6 million available for redemptions during 2017, subject to the limitations described above. KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT had $14.3 million of outstanding unfulfilled redemption requests as of December 31, 2016.
Our board may amend, suspend or terminate our share redemption program upon 30 days’ notice to our stockholders, provided that we may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares pursuant to our share redemption program upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. See “Description of Shares - Share Redemption Program” in the prospectus for more information about the program.
The offering price of shares of our common stock to be sold in this primary offering was not established on an independent basis and bears no relationship to the net value of our assets. The offering price is likely to be higher than the amount our stockholders would receive per share if we were to liquidate at this time primarily because of the upfront fees paid in connection with the sale of our shares, the purchase prices at which shares of our Class A common stock were sold prior to commencement of this offering were significantly below the purchase prices for shares in this offering and the organization and other offering expenses paid in connection with our private offering. We will use our “amount available for investment/net investment amount,” which value is the offering price of our shares in this offering reduced by certain upfront expenses, as the estimated value of our shares until we provide an estimated NAV per share based on the value of our assets. Even when we begin to use a NAV per share method to estimate the value of our shares, the value of our shares will be based upon a number of assumptions that may not be accurate or complete.
We set the $10.00 primary offering price of our Class T shares arbitrarily, and based on that price, set the primary offering price of our Class A share to account for differing selling commissions. The primary offering price of our shares bears no relationship to our book or asset values or to any other established criteria for valuing shares. Because the offering price is not based upon any independent valuation, the offering price is likely to be higher than the proceeds that our stockholders would receive upon liquidation or a resale of their shares if they were to be listed on an exchange or actively traded by broker-dealers, primarily because (i) of the upfront fees paid in connection with the sale of our shares, (ii) we sold approximately 8,611,335 shares of our Class A common stock at a weighted average purchase price of approximately $8.98 per share and received weighted average net proceeds of approximately $8.30 per share in private transactions, and (iii) we paid significant organization and other offering expenses in connection with our private offering.
To assist FINRA members and their associated persons that participate in this offering of common stock in meeting their customer account statement reporting obligations pursuant to applicable FINRA and NASD Conduct Rules, we will disclose in each annual report distributed to stockholders a per share estimated value of our shares developed in a manner reasonably designed to ensure it is reliable, the method by which it was developed, and the date of the estimated valuation.
Initially we will report the net investment amount of our shares as our estimated value per share, which net investment amount will be based on the “amount available for investment/net investment amount” percentage shown in our estimated use of proceeds table. This amount is 90.5% of the $10.39 primary offering price of our Class A shares of common stock and 94.0% of the $10.00 primary offering price of our Class T shares of common stock. For each class of shares, this amount will equal $9.40, which is the purchase price of our primary offering shares, less the associated selling commission, dealer manager fee, and estimated organization and other offering expenses as shown in our estimated use of proceeds table. This amount does not take into account the stockholder servicing fee that we pay with respect to Class T shares sold in our primary offering. No later than September 25, 2018, we will provide an estimated NAV per share that we will use as our estimated value per share. This value will be based on valuations of our assets and liabilities performed at least annually, by, or with the material assistance or confirmation of, a third-party valuation expert or service and will comply with the IPA Valuation Guidelines. Once we announce an estimated NAV per share we generally expect to update the estimated NAV per share in December of each year. Our estimated per share value will be accompanied by any disclosures required under the FINRA and NASD Conduct Rules.
Until we report an estimated NAV, the initial reported values will likely differ from the price that a stockholder would receive in the near term upon a resale of his or her shares or upon a liquidation of our company primarily because (i) there is no public trading market for the shares at this time; (ii) when derived from the offering price, the estimated value will not reflect, and will not be derived from, the fair market value of our assets, nor will it represent the amount of net proceeds that would result from an immediate liquidation of our assets mostly due to other expenses related to real estate transactions; (iii) we sold approximately 8,611,335 shares of our Class A common stock at a weighted average purchase price of approximately $8.98 per share and received weighted average net proceeds of approximately $8.30 per share in private transactions; (iv) the estimated value will not take into account how market fluctuations affect the value of our investments; and (v) the estimated value will not take into account how developments related to individual assets may increase or decrease the value of our portfolio.
Even when determining the estimated value of our shares by estimating an NAV per share, we will estimate the value of our shares based upon a number of assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. Accordingly, these estimates may not be an accurate reflection of the fair market value of our investments and will not likely represent the amount of net proceeds that would result from an immediate sale of our assets.
If our acquisitions and future acquisitions fail to perform as expected, cash distributions to our stockholders may decline.
As of December 31, 2016, we owned three office buildings that we purchased based on an underwriting analysis with respect to each property. If these assets do not perform as expected, or future acquisitions do not perform as expected, we may have less cash flow from operations available to fund distributions and investor returns may be reduced.
There can be no assurance that the direct or indirect effects of the Dodd-Frank Act and other applicable non-U.S. regulations will not have an adverse effect on our interest rate hedging activities.
Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) imposed additional regulations on derivatives markets and transactions. Such regulations and, to the extent we trade with counterparties organized in non-US jurisdictions, any applicable regulations in those jurisdictions, are still being implemented, and will affect our interest rate hedging activities. While the full impact of the regulation on our interest rate hedging activities cannot be fully assessed until all final rules and regulations are implemented, such regulation may affect our ability to enter into hedging or other risk management transactions, may increase our costs in entering into such transactions, and/or may result in us entering into such transactions on less favorable terms than prior to implementation of such regulation. For example, but not by way of limitation, the Dodd-Frank Act and the rulemaking thereunder provides for significantly increased regulation of the derivative transactions used to affect our interest rate hedging activities, including: (i) regulatory reporting, (ii) subject to an exemption for end-users of swaps upon which we and our subsidiaries generally rely, mandated clearing of certain derivatives transactions through central counterparties and execution on regulated exchanges or execution facilities and, (iii) to the extent we are required to clear any such transactions, margin and collateral requirements. The imposition, or the failure to comply with, any of the foregoing requirements may have an adverse effect on our business and our stockholders’ return.
REIT distribution requirements could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan.
We generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain, in order for federal corporate income tax not to apply to earnings that we distribute. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay out to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under federal tax laws. We also may decide to retain net capital gain we earn from the sale or other disposition of our property and pay U.S. federal income tax directly on such income. In that event, our stockholders would be treated as if they earned that income and paid the tax on it directly. However, stockholders that are tax-exempt, such as charities or qualified pension plans, would have no benefit from their deemed payment of such tax liability unless they file U.S. federal income tax returns and thereon seek a refund of such tax. We also will be subject to corporate tax on any undistributed taxable income. We also may decide to retain net capital gain we earn from the sale or other disposition of our property and pay U.S. federal income tax directly on such income. In that event, our stockholders would be treated as if they earned that income and paid the tax on it directly. However, stockholders that are tax-exempt, such as charities or qualified pension plans, would have no benefit from their deemed payment of such tax liability unless they file U.S. federal income tax returns and thereon seek a refund of such tax. We also will be subject to corporate tax on any undistributed taxable income. We intend to pay distributions to our stockholders to comply with the REIT requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
From time to time, we may generate taxable income greater than our income for financial reporting purposes, or our taxable income may be greater than our cash flow available for distribution to stockholders (for example, where a borrower defers the payment of interest in cash pursuant to a contractual right or otherwise). If we do not have other funds available in these situations we could be required to borrow funds, sell investments at disadvantageous prices or find another alternative source of funds to make distributions sufficient to enable us to pay out enough of our taxable income to satisfy the REIT distribution requirements and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax in a particular year. These alternatives could increase our costs or reduce our equity. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.
If the fiduciary of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA (such as a profit sharing, Section 401(k) or pension plan) or an owner of a retirement arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (such as an individual retirement account (“IRA”)) fails to meet the fiduciary and other standards under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code as a result of an investment in our stock, the fiduciary could be subject to penalties and other sanctions.
There are special considerations that apply to employee benefit plans subject to ERISA (such as profit sharing, Section 401(k) or pension plans) and other retirement plans or accounts subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (such as an IRA) that are investing in our shares. Fiduciaries and IRA owners investing the assets of such a plan or account in our common stock should satisfy themselves that:
| |
• | the investment is consistent with their fiduciary and other obligations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code; |
| |
• | the investment is made in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the plan or IRA, including the plan’s or account’s investment policy; |
| |
• | the investment satisfies the prudence and diversification requirements of Sections 404(a)(1)(B) and 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA and other applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code; |
| |
• | the investment in our shares, for which no public market currently exists, is consistent with the liquidity needs of the plan or IRA; |
| |
• | the investment will not produce an unacceptable amount of “unrelated business taxable income” for the plan or IRA; |
| |
• | our stockholders will be able to comply with the requirements under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code to value the assets of the plan or IRA annually; and |
| |
• | the investment will not constitute a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. |
With respect to the annual valuation requirements described above, we will provide an estimated value for our shares annually. We can make no claim whether such estimated value will satisfy the applicable annual valuation requirements under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. The Department of Labor or the IRS may determine that a plan fiduciary or an IRA custodian is required to take further steps to determine the value of our common stock. In the absence of an appropriate determination of value, a plan fiduciary or an IRA custodian may be subject to damages, penalties or other sanctions.
On April 8, 2016, the Department of Labor issued a final regulation relating to the definition of a fiduciary under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. The final regulation broadens the definition of fiduciary and is accompanied by new and revised prohibited transaction exemptions relating to investments by IRAs and Benefit Plans. The final regulation and the related exemptions were originally scheduled to apply for investment transactions on and after April 10, 2017, the final regulation has been recommended for reconsideration pursuant to executive order. The final regulation and the accompanying exemptions are complex, implementation may be further delayed, and the final regulation remains subject to potential further revision prior to implementation. Plan fiduciaries and the beneficial owners of IRAs are urged to consult with their own advisors regarding this development.
Failure to satisfy the fiduciary standards of conduct and other applicable requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code may result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties and could subject the fiduciary to claims for damages or for equitable remedies, including liability for investment losses. In addition, if an investment in our shares constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, the fiduciary or IRA owner who authorized or directed the investment may be subject to the imposition of excise taxes with respect to the amount invested. In addition, the investment transaction must be undone. In the case of a prohibited transaction involving an IRA owner, the IRA may be disqualified as a tax-exempt account and all of the assets of the IRA may be deemed distributed and subjected to tax. ERISA plan fiduciaries and IRA owners should consult with counsel before making an investment in our common stock.
Information Regarding Cash Distributions and Stock Dividends
Cash Distributions Paid
On January 4, 2017, we paid cash distributions of $0.4 million and $1,918, which related to Class A and Class T cash distributions, respectively, declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from December 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016. On February 1, 2017, we paid cash distributions of $0.4 million and $3,621, which related to Class A and Class T cash distributions, respectively, declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from January 1, 2017 through January 31, 2017. On March 1, 2017, we paid cash distributions of $0.3 million and $5,244, which related to Class A and Class T cash distributions, respectively, declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from February 1, 2017 through February 28, 2017.
Stock Dividends Issued
On January 5, 2017, we issued 7,513 shares of Class A common stock and 80 shares of Class T common stock in connection with stock dividends declared for each share of common stock outstanding on December 31, 2016. On February 2, 2017, we issued 7,968 shares of Class A common stock and 109 shares of Class T common stock in connection with stock dividends declared for each share of common stock outstanding on January 31, 2017. On March 2, 2017, we issued 7,421 shares of Class A common stock and 161 shares of Class T common stock in connection with stock dividends declared for each share of common stock outstanding on February 28, 2017.
Cash Distributions and Stock Dividends Declared
On March 8, 2017, our board of directors declared cash distributions on the outstanding shares of all classes of our common stock based on daily record dates for the period from April 1, 2017 through April 30, 2017, which we expect to pay in May 2017, and the period from May 1, 2017 through May 31, 2017, which we expect to pay in June 2017. Investors may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through our distribution reinvestment plan. Distributions for these periods will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day during these periods at a rate of (i) $0.00136986 per share per day, reduced by (ii) the applicable daily class-specific stockholder servicing fees accrued for and allocable to any class of common stock, divided by the number of shares of common stock of such class outstanding as of the close of business on the respective record date.
On March 8, 2017, our board of directors declared stock dividends of 0.00083333 shares of common stock on each outstanding share of common stock to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on each of April 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, which we expect to issue in May 2017 and June 2017, respectively. Stock dividends are issued in the same class of shares as the shares for which such stockholder received the stock dividend.
Indebtedness
As of December 31, 2016, we had $82.8 million of mortgage debt outstanding. Our mortgage debt consisted of three variable notes payable that mature between 2019 and 2021. In addition, as of December 31, 2016, we entered into a $10.0 million unsecured, revolving line of credit with an unaffiliated lender that matures on January 8, 2018. As of December 31, 2016, $10.0 million of the unsecured revolving credit facility remained available for future disbursements, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the loan documents. As of December 31, 2016, our aggregate borrowings were approximately 57% of our net assets before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves.
Net Tangible Book Value Per Share
In connection with this offering of shares of our common stock, we are providing information about our net tangible book
value per share, which amount is the same for both classes. Our net tangible book value per share is a rough approximation of value calculated as total book value of assets minus total book value of liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. Net tangible book value is used generally as a conservative measure of net worth that we do not believe reflects our estimated value per share. It is not intended to reflect the value of our assets upon an orderly liquidation of the company in accordance with our investment objectives. However, net tangible book value does reflect certain dilution in value of our common stock from the issue price in this initial public offering primarily as a result of (i) the substantial fees paid in connection with this initial public offering and our now-terminated private offering, including selling commissions and marketing fees re-allowed by our dealer manager to participating broker-dealers, (ii) the fees and expenses paid to our advisor and its affiliates in connection with the selection, acquisition, management and sale of our investments, (iii) general and administrative expenses, (iv) accumulated depreciation and amortization of real estate investments, and (v) the sale of approximately 8,611,335 shares of our Class A common stock in private transactions at a weighted average purchase price of approximately $8.98 per share for which we received weighted average net proceeds of approximately $8.30 per share. Included in the shares of Class A common stock sold in private transactions are 21,181.2380 and 21,181.2390 shares of our Class A common stock purchased by Charles J. Schreiber, Jr., our chief executive officer, the chairman of the board and one of our directors, and one of the indirect owners of our advisor, and Peter M. Bren, our president and one of the indirect owners of our advisor, respectively, which each purchased for $172,500 or $8.144 per share. The Class A per share purchase price reflected an 8.5% discount to the $8.90 initial offering price in our private offering for our Class A common stock because selling commissions and dealer manager fees were not paid in connection with the sales. Mr. Bren’s investment was made on behalf of and for the accounts of three of his children, and he has disclaimed beneficial ownership of the shares. As of December 31, 2016, our net tangible book value per share of shares of our Class A and Class T common stock, was $7.21. To the extent we are able to raise substantial proceeds in this offering, some of the expenses that cause dilution of the net tangible book value per share are expected to decrease on a per share basis, resulting in increases in the net tangible book value per share. This increase would be partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization expenses related to our real estate investments.
Share Redemption Program
Our share redemption program contains numerous restrictions on your ability to redeem your shares. Among other restrictions, during each calendar year, redemptions are limited to the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year, provided that we may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares upon 10 business days’ notice. This restriction may significantly limit your ability to have your shares redeemed pursuant to our share redemption program.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, we did not redeem any shares pursuant to our share redemption program because no shares were submitted for redemption. Based on the redemption limitations described above, as of December 31, 2016, there is $1.8 million available for eligible redemptions for the 2017 calendar year.
Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate our share redemption program upon 30 days’ notice to our stockholders, provided that we may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares pursuant to the share redemption program upon 10 business days’ notice. We may provide this notice by including such information in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC, or by a separate mailing to our stockholders. Upon a transfer of shares any pending redemption requests with respect to such transferred shares will be canceled as of the date the transfer is accepted by us. Stockholders wishing to continue to have a redemption request related to any transferred shares considered by us must resubmit their redemption request. Upon a transfer of shares any pending redemption requests with respect to such transferred shares will be canceled as of the date the transfer is accepted by us. Stockholders wishing to continue to have a redemption request related to any transferred shares considered by us must resubmit their redemption request.

Overview
We were formed on January 12, 2015 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015 and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner. Substantially all of our business is conducted through our Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is externally managed by our advisor pursuant to an advisory agreement. KBS Capital Advisors manages our operations and our portfolio of core real estate properties and real estate-related assets. KBS Capital Advisors also provides asset-management, marketing, investor-relations and other administrative services on our behalf. Our advisor acquired 20,000 shares of our Class A common stock for an initial investment of $200,000. We have no paid employees.
We commenced a private placement offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on June 11, 2015, pursuant to which we offered a maximum of $105,000,000 of shares of our Class A common stock for sale to certain accredited investors, of which $5,000,000 of Class A shares are being offered pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We ceased offering shares in the primary portion of our private offering on April 27, 2016 and processed subscriptions for the primary portion of the private offering dated on or prior to April 27, 2016 through May 30, 2016. KBS Capital Markets Group LLC, an affiliate of our advisor, served as the dealer manager of the offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement and was responsible for marketing our shares in the offering.
As of December 31, 2016, we had sold 8,548,972 shares of our Class A common stock for gross offering proceeds of $76.8 million in our private offering, including 74,744 shares of our Class A common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $0.7 million.
Additionally, on August 11, 2015, two of the individuals who own and control our sponsor, Charles J. Schreiber, Jr. (who also acts as our chief executive officer, chairman of the board and director) and Peter M. Bren (who also acts as our president), purchased 21,181.2380 and 21,181.2390 shares of our Class A common stock, respectively, each for an aggregate purchase price of $172,500 or $8.144 per share. The per share purchase price reflects an 8.5% discount to the $8.90 offering price in our private offering in effect on the date of their purchase because selling commissions and dealer manager fees were not paid in connection with the sales. Mr. Bren’s investment was made on behalf of and for the account of three of his children, and he has disclaimed beneficial ownership of the shares. We issued these shares in private transactions exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On February 4, 2015, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to register this initial public offering to offer a maximum of $1,500,000,000 in shares of common stock for sale to the public in the primary offering, consisting of two classes of shares: Class A and Class T. We are also offering a maximum of $800,000,000 in both classes of shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We are offering to sell any combination of Class A and Class T shares in the public offering and distribution reinvestment plan offering. We reserve the right to reallocate shares between these offerings. The SEC declared our registration effective on April 28, 2016 and we retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC to serve as the dealer manager of this initial public offering. The dealer manager is responsible for marketing our shares in this initial public offering. As of December 31, 2016, we had sold 162,401 and 93,918 shares of Class A and Class T common stock in this public offering, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $2.6 million, including 116,318 and 319 shares of Class A and Class T common stock under its distribution reinvestment plan, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $1.2 million.
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our private and public offerings to invest in a diverse portfolio of core real estate properties and real estate-related assets. We consider core properties to be existing properties with at least 80% occupancy. Based on the current market outlook, we expect our core focus in the U.S. office sector to reflect a value-creating core strategy, which is also known as a core-plus strategy. The real estate-related assets in which we may invest include mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans, debt and derivative securities related to real estate assets, including mortgage-backed securities, and equity securities such as common stocks, preferred stocks and convertible preferred securities of other REITs and real estate companies. As of December 31, 2016, we owned three office buildings.
KBS Capital Advisors will make recommendations on all investments to our board of directors. All proposed real estate investments must be approved by at least a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of the conflicts committee. Unless otherwise provided by our charter, the conflicts committee may approve a proposed real estate investment without action by the full board of directors if the approving members of the conflicts committee constitute at least a majority of the board of directors.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015. If we meet the REIT qualification requirements, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on the income that we distribute to our stockholders each year. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any year after electing REIT status, our income will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following our failure to qualify. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and cash available for distribution to our stockholders. However, 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 beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015, and we will continue to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes thereafter.
Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets
The following discussion is based on management’s beliefs, observations and expectations with respect to the real estate and real estate finance markets.
Conditions in the global capital markets remain volatile as of the first quarter of 2017. Current economic data and financial market developments suggest that the global economy is improving, although at a slow and uneven pace. European economic growth has recently picked up, whereas the U.K. and China remain areas of concern. Against this backdrop, the central banks of the world’s major industrialized economies are beginning to back away from their strong monetary accommodation. Quantitative easing in Japan and the Eurozone is slowing, but the liquidity generated from these programs continues to impact the global capital markets.
At a duration of 91 months (as of year-end 2016), the current business cycle, which commenced in June 2009, is the fourth longest in U.S. history, including the post-World War II cycle, which lasted 58 months. In December 2016 the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “FED”) increased interest rates for the second time since the 2008 - 2009 financial crisis. Expectations are for the rate increases to continue in the wake of ongoing economic growth and some acceleration in inflationary pressures, with the goal of the FED to normalize the level of interest rates. Little in the U.S. macroeconomic data suggests that the economy is growing too rapidly, the primary symptom of trouble ahead for the cycle. Real GDP growth has averaged approximately 2% per year over the past 2 years, and job growth has averaged about 1.7%. Personal income growth has started to pick up and unemployment statistics indicate that labor force conditions are finally showing real improvements.
The U.S. commercial real estate market continues to benefit from inflows of foreign capital, particularly from China. With the backdrop of global political conflict, and stabilizing international economic conditions, the U.S. dollar has remained a safe haven currency. The volume of available capital that is seeking “core” properties has helped to push the pricing of some assets past prior peaks, making some markets look expensive. Reduced leverage ratios have shifted more risk toward the equity investor. Traditional sources of capital are favoring a “risk-off” approach, where investors’ appetite for risk falls, when valuing investments. Investors acquiring properties are extremely selective, with cap rate compression having spread into secondary markets over the last two years. Commercial real estate returns are increasingly being driven by property income (yield), as opposed to price appreciation through cap rate compression.
Lenders with long memories remain disciplined in their underwriting of investments. For balance sheet lenders, such as banks and insurance companies, underwriting standards for commercial real estate have been tightened. This has resulted in lower loan-to-value and higher debt coverage ratios. CMBS originations also have been limited as lenders are attempting to adjust to new securitization rules which require issuers to maintain an ongoing equity stake in pooled transactions. These trends have led to increased uncertainty in the level and cost of debt for commercial properties, and in turn has injected some volatility into commercial real estate markets.
A major factor contributing to the strength of the real estate cycle is the difficulty of securing construction financing. Lack of construction financing is effectively keeping an oversupply of commercial real estate, which is typical late in a real estate cycle, from emerging. Bank regulators and new risk-based capital guidelines have enforced discipline in lending, which has helped reduce new construction.
Impact on Our Real Estate Investments
The volatility in the global financial markets continues to cause a level of uncertainty in our outlook for the performance of the U.S. commercial real estate markets. Both the investing and leasing environments are highly competitive. While foreign capital continues to flow into U.S. real estate markets, the uncertainty regarding the political, regulatory and economic environments has introduced uncertainty into the markets. Possible future declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows. Historically low interest rates could help offset some of the impact of these potential decreases in operating cash flow for properties financed with variable rate mortgages; however, interest rates in the United States have started to increase. The FED increased interest rates in the fourth quarter of 2015 and again in December 2016. The real estate and finance markets anticipate further rate increases as long as the economy remains strong. If this trend continues, management will review our debt financing strategies to optimize the cost of our debt exposure.
Impact on Our Financing Activities
In light of the risks associated with potentially volatile operating cash flows from some of our real estate properties, and the possible increase in the cost of financing due to higher interest rates, we may have difficulty financing new investments and/or refinancing some of our debt obligations prior to or at maturity or we may not be able to finance new investments or refinance existing obligations at terms as favorable as the terms of our existing indebtedness. Short-term interest rates in the United States have increased. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of our investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are dependent upon the net proceeds from our offering stage to conduct our proposed operations. We will obtain the capital required to make real estate and real estate-related investments and conduct our operations from the proceeds of our offering stage, from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from our operations. As of December 31, 2016, we had raised approximately $79.4 million in gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of our Class A common stock in our private offering, separate private transactions and this initial public offering.
Regulatory developments related to the reporting of our estimated value per share under recently effective FINRA and NASD Conduct Rules, and changes to the definition of fiduciary under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) may significantly affect our ability to raise substantial additional funds in this public offering. See “Risk Factors” herein.
If we are unable to raise substantial funds during our offering stage, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate more significantly with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds during our offering stage. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and cash flow and limiting our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. We expect to establish a modest working capital reserve from offering proceeds for maintenance and repairs of real properties, as we expect the vast majority of leases for the properties we acquire will provide for tenant reimbursement of operating expenses. However, to the extent that we have insufficient funds for such purposes, we may establish additional reserves from gross offering proceeds, out of cash flow from operations or net cash proceeds from the sale of properties.
As of December 31, 2016, we owned three office properties that were 96% occupied. We acquired these investments with the proceeds from the sale of our common stock in the private offering and debt financing, including a bridge loan from our advisor that we have since repaid. Operating cash needs during the year ended December 31, 2016 were met through cash flow generated by our real estate investments and with proceeds from our private offering.
Our investments in real estate generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, which are reduced by operating expenditures, capital expenditures, debt service payments, the payment of asset management fees and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from real estate investments will be primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates on our leases, the collectibility of rent and operating recoveries from our tenants and how well we manage our expenditures.
Our advisor advanced funds to us for distribution record dates through the period ended May 31, 2016. We are only obligated to repay our advisor for its advance if and to the extent that:
| |
(i) | Our modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), as such term is defined by the Investment Program Association and interpreted by us, for the immediately preceding month exceeds the amount of distributions declared for record dates of such prior month (an “MFFO Surplus”), and we will pay our advisor the amount of the MFFO Surplus to reduce the principal amount outstanding under the advance, provided that such payments shall only be made if management in its sole discretion expects an MFFO Surplus to be recurring for at least the next two calendar quarters, determined on a quarterly basis; or |
| |
(ii) | Excess proceeds from third-party financings are available (“Excess Proceeds”), provided that the amount of any such Excess Proceeds that may be used to repay the principal amount outstanding under the advance shall be determined by the conflicts committee in its sole discretion. |
No interest accrues on the advance made by our advisor.
In determining whether Excess Proceeds are available to repay the advance, our conflicts committee will consider whether cash on hand could have been used to reduce the amount of third-party financing provided to us. If such cash could have been used instead of third-party financing, the third-party financing proceeds will be available to repay the advance.
We expect that once we have fully invested the proceeds raised during our offering stage, our debt financing and other liabilities will be between 35% and 65% of the cost of our tangible assets (before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves). Though this is our target leverage, our charter does not limit us from incurring debt until our aggregate borrowings would exceed 300% of our net assets (before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves), though we may exceed this limit under certain circumstances. During the early stages of this initial public offering, and to the extent financing in excess of this limit is available at attractive terms, the conflicts committee may approve debt in excess of this limit. As of December 31, 2016, our aggregate borrowings were approximately 57% of our net assets before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves.
In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor, our dealer manager and our affiliated property manager. These payments include payments to our dealer manager for selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and the stockholder servicing fee, and payments to the dealer manager and our advisor for reimbursement of certain organization and other offering expenses. See “—Organization and Offering Costs” below.
During our acquisition and development stage, we will make payments to our advisor in connection with the selection and acquisition or origination of real estate investments, the management of our assets and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us. The asset management fee payable to our advisor is a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.6% of the cost of our investments, less any debt secured by or attributable to our investments. The cost of our real property investments is calculated as the amount paid or allocated to acquire the real property, plus budgeted capital improvement costs for the development, construction or improvements to the property once such funds are disbursed pursuant to a final approved budget and fees and expenses related to the acquisition, but excluding acquisition fees paid or payable to our advisor. The cost of our real estate-related investments and any investments other than real property is calculated as the lesser of: (x) the amount paid or allocated to acquire or fund the investment, including fees and expenses related to the acquisition or origination (but excluding acquisition or origination fees paid or payable to our advisor), and (y) the outstanding principal amount of such investment, including fees and expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment (but excluding acquisition or origination fees paid or payable to our advisor). In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee is determined based on our proportionate share of the underlying investment.
We also pay fees to KBS Management Group, LLC (the “Co-Manager”), an affiliate of our advisor, for certain property management services related to certain property acquisitions we make and for which we have entered a property management agreement with the Co-Manager.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT and to operate as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be required to make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. Provided we have sufficient available cash flow, we intend to authorize and declare cash distributions based on daily record dates and pay cash distributions on a monthly basis. During our offering stage, we also intend to authorize and declare stock dividends based on monthly record dates and to issue stock dividends on a monthly basis. We have not established a minimum distribution level.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
As of December 31, 2016, we owned three office properties. During the year ended December 31, 2016, net cash used in operating activities was $35,000, compared to $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2015. We expect that our cash flows from operating activities will increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments and the related operations of such investments.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $115.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 and consisted primarily of the following:
| |
• | $115.0 million of cash for the acquisition of two real estate properties; and |
| |
• | $0.2 million of cash for improvements to real estate. |
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2016, net cash provided by financing activities was $118.0 million and consisted primarily of the following:
| |
• | $65.2 million of net cash provided by debt financing as a result of proceeds from notes payable of $71.6 million, partially offset by principal payments on notes payable of $5.1 million and payments of deferred financing costs of $1.3 million; |
| |
• | $54.2 million of net cash provided by offering proceeds related to our private placement offering and this public offering, net of payments of commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs of $4.6 million; |
| |
• | $1.6 million of net cash distributions, after giving effect to distributions reinvested by stockholders of $1.8 million; |
| |
• | $1.1 million of cash advanced from our advisor for cash distributions; and |
| |
• | $0.9 million of other offering costs due to affiliate. |

(3) Stockholder servicing fee is an annual fee of 1.0% of the purchase price per Class T share sold in this primary public offering for services rendered to Class T stockholders by the broker dealer of record after the initial sale of the Class T share. The stockholder servicing fee will accrue daily and be paid monthly in arrears for up to the fourth anniversary of the issuance of the Class T share.
Results of Operations
Overview
The SEC declared the registration statement for this initial public offering effective on April 28, 2016. Prior to this, we conducted a private placement offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that commenced on June 11, 2015. We ceased offering shares in the primary portion of the private offering on April 27, 2016 and processed subscriptions for the primary portion of the private offering dated on or prior to April 27, 2016 through May 30, 2016. Our results of operations as of December 31, 2016 are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we commenced investment operations on August 12, 2015 in connection with our first investment and have since been raising money in and investing the proceeds from our private placement offering and our ongoing initial public offering. As of December 31, 2015, we owned one office building. After December 31, 2015, we acquired two office properties, and therefore, own three buildings as of December 31, 2016. The results of operations presented for the year ended December 31, 2016 and for the period from January 27, 2015 to December 31, 2015 are not directly comparable due to our acquisition activity. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of owning investments acquired in 2016 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments.
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2016 versus the period from January 27, 2015 to December 31, 2015
Rental income, tenant reimbursements and other operating income increased from $0.9 million for the period from January 27, 2015 to December 31, 2015 to $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Operating, maintenance, and management expenses increased from $0.2 million for the period from January 27, 2015 to December 31, 2015 to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. We incurred property management fees and expenses to affiliate of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Real estate taxes and insurance increased from $0.1 million for the period from January 27, 2015 to December 31, 2015 to $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Asset management fees to affiliate increased from $22,000 for the period from January 27, 2015 to December 31, 2015 to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Depreciation and amortization increased from $0.3 million for the period from January 27, 2015 to December 31, 2015 to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Interest expense increased from $0.3 million for the period from January 27, 2015 to December 31, 2015 to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
We expect that rental income and tenant reimbursements, operating, maintenance and management expenses, property management fees and expenses to affiliate, real estate taxes and insurance, asset management fees, depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense to each increase in future periods as a result of owning the investment acquired in 2016 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments.
General and administrative expenses increased from $0.2 million for the period from January 27, 2015 to December 31, 2015 to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. These general and administrative costs consisted primarily of portfolio legal fees, board of directors fees, internal audit compensation, external auditor fees, dividend processing fees, and dead deal costs. We expect general and administrative costs to increase in the future as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments.
As a result of our acquisition of Von Karman Tech Center, we incurred $0.6 million of real estate acquisition fees and expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates during the period from January 27, 2015 to December 31, 2015. As a result of our acquisitions of Commonwealth Building and The Offices at Greenhouse, we incurred $2.7 million of real estate acquisition fees and expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates during the year ended December 31, 2016.
Organization and Offering Costs
Our organization and offering costs (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees and the stockholder servicing fee) may be paid by our advisor, our dealer manager or their affiliates on our behalf or may be paid directly by us. Offering costs include all expenses incurred in connection with the private offering and this initial public offering. Organization costs include all expenses incurred in connection with our formation, including but not limited to legal fees and other costs to incorporate.
During the private offering, there was no limit on the amount of organization and offering costs we could incur and we were obligated to reimburse our advisor, our dealer manager or their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs (excluding wholesaling compensation expenses) paid by them on behalf of us. As of December 31, 2016, we had recorded $1.5 million of offering costs (other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees) related to our private offering, all of which have been reimbursed to our advisor or its affiliates as of December 31, 2016.
During this initial public offering, pursuant to the advisory agreement and dealer manager agreement for this initial public offering, we are obligated to reimburse our advisor, our dealer manager or their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs related to this initial public offering (excluding wholesaling compensation expenses) paid by them on our behalf provided such reimbursement would not cause the total organization and offering costs borne by us related to this initial public offering (including selling commissions, dealer manager fees, the stockholder servicing fee and all other items of organization and offering expenses) to exceed 15% of gross offering proceeds raised in this initial public offering as of the date of reimbursement.
We reimburse our dealer manager (or pay such costs directly) for underwriting compensation in connection with the private offering. We also reimburse our dealer manager for underwriting compensation in connection with this initial public offering as discussed in the prospectus for this initial public offering. We also pay or paid directly or reimburse or reimbursed, and expect to pay directly or reimburse, the dealer manager for due diligence expenses of broker dealers in connection with the private offering and this initial public offering.
In addition, our advisor is obligated to reimburse us to the extent organization and offering costs (excluding selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and stockholder servicing fee) borne by us and incurred in connection with this primary initial public offering exceed 1% of gross proceeds raised in this primary initial public offering as of the termination of this primary initial public offering.
Through December 31, 2016, our advisor and its affiliates had incurred organization and other offering costs (which exclude selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) on our behalf in connection with this initial public offering of approximately $3.8 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had recorded $25,507 of organization and other offering expenses related to this initial public offering, which amounts represent the Company's maximum liability for organization and other offering costs as of December 31, 2016 based on the 1% limitation described above.
Distributions
During our offering stage, when we may raise capital more quickly than we acquire income producing assets, and from time to time during our operational stage, we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operating activities, in which case distributions may be paid in whole or in part from debt financing, including advances from our advisor, if necessary. Distributions declared, distributions paid and cash flow (used in) provided by operations were as follows during 2016 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

_____________________
(1) Distributions for the periods from January 1, 2016 through February 28, 2016 and March 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 were based on daily record dates and were calculated based on stockholders of record each day during this period at a rate of (i) $0.00136986 per share per day, less (ii) the applicable daily class-specific stockholder servicing fees accrued for and allocable to any class of common stock, divided by the number of shares of common stock of such class outstanding as of the close of business on each respective record date.
(2) Assumes Class A share was issued and outstanding each day that was a record date for distributions during the period presented. Assumes Class T share was issued and outstanding from July 26, 2016 through December 31, 2016. We had not sold any Class T shares prior to the third quarter of 2016.
(3) Distributions are paid on a monthly basis. In general, distributions for all record dates of a given month are paid on or about the first business day of the following month.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, we paid aggregate distributions of $3.4 million, including $1.6 million of distributions paid in cash and $1.8 million of distributions reinvested through our distribution reinvestment plan. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $4.1 million. Cash flow used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $35,000. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with $1.2 million of advances from our advisor and $2.2 million of debt financing. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” above for a discussion of the terms of the advance from our advisor.
From inception through December 31, 2016, we paid cumulative distributions of $3.5 million and our cumulative net loss during the same period was $4.9 million. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operating activities, we will have less funds available for the acquisition of real estate investments, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors will experience dilution.
In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2016, our board of directors declared stock dividends for each month based on a single record date at the end of each month in an amount that would equal a 1% annualized stock dividend per share of common stock if paid each month for a year. Stock dividends are issued in the same class of shares as the shares for which such stockholder received the stock dividend.
Going forward we expect our board of directors to continue to authorize and declare cash distributions based on daily record dates and to pay these distributions on a monthly basis and during our offering stage to continue to authorize and declare stock dividends based on a single record date as of the end of the month, and to issue these dividends on a monthly basis. Cash distributions and stock dividends will be determined by our board of directors based on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. Our board of directors has not pre-established a percentage rate of return for stock dividends or cash distributions to stockholders. We have not established a minimum dividend or distribution level, and our charter does not require that we pay dividends or make distributions to our stockholders.
Over the long-term, we expect that a greater percentage of our distributions will be paid from cash flow from operations and FFO (except with respect to distributions related to sales of our assets and distributions related to the repayment of principal under real estate-related investments). Our operating performance cannot be accurately predicted and may deteriorate in the future due to numerous factors, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” in the prospectus for this initial public offering, as the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time. Those factors include: our ability to raise capital to make additional investments; the future operating performance of our current and future real estate investments in the existing real estate and financial environment; our advisor’s ability to identify additional real estate investments that are suitable to execute our investment objectives; the success and economic viability of our tenants; to the extent we make investments in real estate loans, the ability of our borrowers and their sponsors to make their debt service payments and/or to repay their loans upon maturity; our ability to refinance existing indebtedness at comparable terms; changes in interest rates on any variable rate debt obligations we incur; and the level of participation in our distribution reinvestment plan. In the event our FFO and/or cash flow from operations decrease in the future, the level of our distributions may also decrease. In addition, future distributions declared and paid may exceed FFO and/or cash flow from operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that management believes are or will be critical to our operations. We consider these policies critical in that they involve significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the 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 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.
Revenue Recognition
Real Estate
We recognize minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectibility is reasonably assured and record amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or by us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that the tenant can take in the form of cash or a credit against its rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
| |
• | whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent; |
| |
• | whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates; |
| |
• | whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term; |
| |
• | whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general-purpose in nature; and |
| |
• | whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease. |
We record property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs in the period the related expenses are incurred.
We make estimates of the collectibility of our tenant receivables related to base rents, including deferred rent receivable, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. We specifically analyze accounts receivable, deferred rent receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, management makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectibility of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. When a tenant is in bankruptcy, we will record a bad debt reserve for the tenant’s receivable balance and generally will not recognize subsequent rental revenue until cash is received or until the tenant is no longer in bankruptcy and has the ability to make rental payments.
Real Estate
Depreciation and Amortization
Real estate costs related to the acquisition and improvement of properties are capitalized and amortized over the expected useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred and significant replacements and betterments are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate asset. We consider the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. Expenditures for tenant improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the tenant’s lease term or expected useful life. We anticipate the estimated useful lives of our assets by class to be generally as follows:
|
| |
Buildings | 25 - 40 years |
Building improvements | 10 - 25 years |
Tenant improvements | Shorter of lease term or expected useful life |
Tenant origination and absorption costs | Remaining term of related leases, including below-market renewal periods |
Real Estate Acquisition Valuation
We record the acquisition of income-producing real estate as a business combination. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and restructuring costs that do not meet the definition of a liability at the acquisition date are expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date.
We assess the acquisition date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, generally utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that applies appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.
We record above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of above-market in-place leases and for the initial term plus any extended term for any leases with below-market renewal options. We amortize any recorded above-market or below-market lease values as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective lease, including any below-market renewal periods.
We estimate the value of tenant origination and absorption costs by considering the estimated carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease up periods, considering current market conditions. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease up periods.
We amortize the value of tenant origination and absorption costs to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases.
Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require us to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of our acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of our net income.
Impairment of Real Estate and Related Intangible Assets and Liabilities
We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of our real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable or realized. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying value of real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability by estimating whether we will recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities through its undiscounted future cash flows and its eventual disposition. If, based on this analysis, we do not believe that we will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, we would record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities.
Fair Value Measurements
Under GAAP, we are required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, we are required to measure other non-financial and financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
| |
• | Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; |
| |
• | Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and |
| |
• | Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
When available, we utilize quoted market prices from independent third-party sources to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require us to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When we determine the market for a financial instrument owned by us to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, we use several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establish a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, we measure fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach.
Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
We consider the following factors to be indicators of an inactive market: (i) there are few recent transactions, (ii) price quotations are not based on current information, (iii) price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets), (iv) indexes that previously were highly correlated with the fair values of the asset or liability are demonstrably uncorrelated with recent indications of fair value for that asset or liability, (v) there is a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indicators (such as delinquency rates or loss severities) for observed transactions or quoted prices when compared with our estimate of expected cash flows, considering all available market data about credit and other nonperformance risk for the asset or liability, (vi) there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread, (vii) there is a significant decline or absence of a market for new issuances (that is, a primary market) for the asset or liability or similar assets or liabilities, and (viii) little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to-principal market).
We consider the following factors to be indicators of non-orderly transactions: (i) there was not adequate exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities under current market conditions, (ii) there was a usual and customary marketing period, but the seller marketed the asset or liability to a single market participant, (iii) the seller is in or near bankruptcy or receivership (that is, distressed), or the seller was required to sell to meet regulatory or legal requirements (that is, forced), and (iv) the transaction price is an outlier when compared with other recent transactions for the same or similar assets or liabilities.

Our audits also included the financial statement schedule in Item 15(a), Schedule III–Real Estate Assets and Accumulated Depreciation and Amortization. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of KBS Growth & Income REIT, Inc. at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the period from January 27, 2015 to December 31, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is externally managed by KBS Capital Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an advisory agreement between the Company and the Advisor initially entered into on June 11, 2015, and amended at various times thereafter (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisor conducts the Company’s operations and manages its portfolio of core real estate properties and real estate-related assets. On January 27, 2015, the Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock to the Advisor at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. On June 11, 2015, these outstanding shares of common stock were designated Class A shares of common stock.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had invested in three office buildings. The Company intends to invest in a diverse portfolio of core real estate properties and real estate-related assets, including the acquisition of commercial properties and the acquisition and origination of real estate-related assets. The Company considers core properties to be existing properties with at least 80% occupancy. Based on the current market outlook, the Company expects its core focus in the U.S. office sector to reflect a value-creating core strategy, which is also known as a core-plus strategy. The real estate-related assets in which the Company may invest include mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans, debt and derivative securities related to real estate assets, including mortgage-backed securities, and equity securities such as common stocks, preferred stocks and convertible preferred securities of other REITs and real estate companies.
The Company commenced a private placement offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on June 11, 2015, pursuant to which the Company offered a maximum of $105,000,000 of shares of its Class A common stock for sale to accredited investors (the “Private Offering”), of which $5,000,000 of Class A shares were offered pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. The Company ceased offering shares in the primary portion of the Private Offering on April 27, 2016 and processed subscriptions for the primary Private Offering dated on or prior to April 27, 2016 through May 30, 2016. KBS Capital Markets Group LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Advisor, served as the dealer manager of the Private Offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement dated June 11, 2015 (the “Private Offering Dealer Manager Agreement”). The Dealer Manager was responsible for marketing the Company’s shares in the Private Offering.
On February 4, 2015, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register an initial public offering of its common stock to offer a maximum of $1,500,000,000 in shares of common stock for sale to the public in the primary offering, consisting of two classes of shares: Class A and Class T (the “Primary Offering”). The Company also registered a maximum of $800,000,000 in both classes of shares of its common stock pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP Offering” and, together with the Primary Offering, the “Public Offering”). The Company is offering to sell any combination of Class A and Class T shares in the Primary Offering and DRP Offering. The Company reserves the right to reallocate shares between the Primary Offering and the DRP Offering. The SEC declared the Company’s registration statement effective on April 28, 2016 and the Company retained the Dealer Manager to serve as the dealer manager of the Public Offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement dated April 28, 2016 (the “Public Offering Dealer Manager Agreement”). The Dealer Manager will be responsible for marketing the Company’s shares in the Public Offering.
As described above, the Company intends to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the Private Offering and the Primary Offering to invest in a diverse portfolio of core real estate properties and real estate-related assets.

December 31, 2016
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had sold 8,548,972 shares of Class A common stock for gross offering proceeds of $76.8 million in the Private Offering, including 74,744 shares of Class A common stock under its distribution reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $0.7 million. The Company commenced the Public Offering on April 28, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had sold 162,401 and 93,918 shares of Class A and Class T common stock in the Public Offering, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $2.6 million, including 116,318 and 319 shares of Class A and Class T common stock under its distribution reinvestment plan, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $1.2 million.
Additionally, on August 11, 2015, two of the individuals who own and control the Company’s sponsor, Charles J. Schreiber, Jr. (who also acts as chief executive officer, the chairman of the board and a director of the Company) and Peter M. Bren (who also acts as president of the Company), purchased 21,181.2380 and 21,181.2390 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, each for an aggregate purchase price of $172,500 or $8.144 per share. The per share purchase price reflects an 8.5% discount to the $8.90 offering price in the Private Offering in effect on the date of their purchase because selling commissions and dealer manager fees were not paid in connection with the sales. Mr. Bren’s investment was made on behalf of and for the account of three of his children, and he has disclaimed beneficial ownership of the shares. The Company issued these shares in private transactions exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, REIT Holdings, and the Operating Partnership and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Real Estate
The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectibility is reasonably assured and records amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that the tenant can take in the form of cash or a credit against its rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
| |
• | whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent; |
| |
• | whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates; |
| |
• | whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term; |
| |
• | whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general-purpose in nature; and |
| |
• | whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease. |

The Company records property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs in the period the related expenses are incurred.
The Company makes estimates of the collectibility of its tenant receivables related to base rents, including deferred rent receivable, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable, deferred rent receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, management makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectibility of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. When a tenant is in bankruptcy, the Company will record a bad debt reserve for the tenant’s receivable balance and generally will not recognize subsequent rental revenue until cash is received or until the tenant is no longer in bankruptcy and has the ability to make rental payments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company recognizes interest income on its cash and cash equivalents as it is earned and classifies such amounts as other interest income.
Real Estate
Depreciation and Amortization
Real estate costs related to the acquisition and improvement of properties are capitalized and amortized over the expected useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred and significant replacements and betterments are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate asset. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. Expenditures for tenant improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the tenant’s lease term or expected useful life. The Company anticipates the estimated useful lives of its assets by class to be generally as follows:
|
| |
Buildings | 25 - 40 years |
Building improvements | 10 - 25 years |
Tenant improvements | Shorter of lease term or expected useful life |
Tenant origination and absorption costs | Remaining term of related leases, including below-market renewal periods |
Real Estate Acquisition Valuation
The Company records the acquisition of income-producing real estate or real estate that will be used for the production of income as a business combination. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and restructuring costs that do not meet the definition of a liability at the acquisition date are expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date.
The Company assesses the acquisition date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, generally utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that applies appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.
The Company records above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of above-market in-place leases and for the initial term plus any extended term for any leases with below-market renewal options. The Company amortizes any recorded above-market or below-market lease values as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective lease, including any below-market renewal periods.

The Company estimates the value of tenant origination and absorption costs by considering the estimated carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease up periods, considering current market conditions. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease up periods.
The Company amortizes the value of tenant origination and absorption costs to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases.
Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require the Company to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of the Company’s acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of the Company’s net income.
Impairment of Real Estate and Related Intangible Assets and Liabilities
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable or realized. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying value of real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable, the Company assesses the recoverability by estimating whether the Company will recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities through its undiscounted future cash flows and its eventual disposition. If, based on this analysis, the Company does not believe that it will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, the Company would record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may include cash and short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance exceeds federally insurable limits as of December 31, 2016. The Company intends to mitigate this risk by depositing funds with a major financial institution; however, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. There were no restrictions on the use of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016.
Rents and Other Receivables
The Company periodically evaluates the collectibility of amounts due from tenants and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under lease agreements. In addition, the Company maintains an allowance for deferred rent receivable that arises from the straight-lining of rents. The Company exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status of its tenants in developing these estimates.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, loan fees, legal fees and other third-party costs associated with obtaining financing and are presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are generally expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity unless specific rules are met that would allow for the carryover of such costs to the refinanced debt. Deferred financing costs incurred before an associated debt liability is recognized are included in prepaid and other assets on the balance sheet. Costs incurred in seeking financing transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.

Fair Value Measurements
Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other non-financial and financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
| |
• | Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; |
| |
• | Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and |
| |
• | Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from independent third-party sources to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require the Company to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When the Company determines the market for a financial instrument owned by the Company to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, the Company uses several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establishes a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach.
Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of an inactive market: (i) there are few recent transactions, (ii) price quotations are not based on current information, (iii) price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets), (iv) indexes that previously were highly correlated with the fair values of the asset or liability are demonstrably uncorrelated with recent indications of fair value for that asset or liability, (v) there is a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indicators (such as delinquency rates or loss severities) for observed transactions or quoted prices when compared with the Company’s estimate of expected cash flows, considering all available market data about credit and other nonperformance risk for the asset or liability, (vi) there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread, (vii) there is a significant decline or absence of a market for new issuances (that is, a primary market) for the asset or liability or similar assets or liabilities, and (viii) little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to-principal market).
The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of non-orderly transactions: (i) there was not adequate exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities under current market conditions, (ii) there was a usual and customary marketing period, but the seller marketed the asset or liability to a single market participant, (iii) the seller is in or near bankruptcy or receivership (that is, distressed), or the seller was required to sell to meet regulatory or legal requirements (that is, forced), and (iv) the transaction price is an outlier when compared with other recent transactions for the same or similar assets or liabilities.

Redeemable Common Stock
In connection with the Private Offering, the Company adopted a share redemption program that enabled stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in limited circumstances. On March 16, 2016, the Company adopted an Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program in anticipation of the commencement of the Public Offering and related designation of Class T shares of common stock.
There are several limitations on the Company’s ability to redeem shares under the share redemption program:
| |
• | Unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined under the share redemption program), the Company may not redeem shares unless the stockholder has held the shares for one year. |
| |
• | During any calendar year, the Company may redeem only the number of shares that it could purchase with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under its distribution reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year. However, the Company may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares pursuant to the program upon ten business days’ notice to its stockholders. |
| |
• | During any calendar year, the Company may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. |
| |
• | The Company has no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. |
Pursuant to the share redemption program, and provided the redeeming stockholder has held his or her shares for at least one year, the Company will initially redeem shares submitted as an ordinary redemption at 95.0% of the price paid to acquire the shares from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stock dividends will initially be redeemed at the “net investment amount” per share, which will be based on the “amount available for investment/net investment amount” percentage shown in the estimated use of proceeds table in the Company’s prospectus, as supplemented, for the Public Offering. For each class of shares designated, this amount will initially equal $9.40 per share for redemptions of shares received as a result of a stock dividend. Once the Company has established an estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share of its common stock, it will redeem all shares submitted in connection with an ordinary redemption at 95.0% of the Company’s most recent estimated NAV per share as of the applicable redemption date.
For purposes of determining whether a redeeming stockholder has held the share submitted for redemption for at least one year, the time period begins as of the date the stockholder acquired the share; provided, that shares purchased by the redeeming stockholder pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan or received as a stock dividend will be deemed to have been acquired on the same date as the initial share to which the distribution reinvestment plan shares or stock dividend shares relate.
The Company expects to establish an estimated NAV per share no later than 150 days after the second anniversary of the date on which the Company commenced the Public Offering. Once announced, the Company expects to update the estimated NAV per share in December of each year.
In several respects the Company treats redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, qualifying disability or determination of incompetence differently from other redemptions:
| |
• | there is no one-year holding requirement; |
| |
• | until the Company establishes an estimated NAV per share, which the Company expects to be no later than September 25, 2018 (as described above), the redemption price is the amount paid to acquire the shares from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stock dividends will initially be redeemed at the “net investment amount” per share, which will be based on the “amount available for investment/net investment amount” percentage shown in the estimated use of proceeds table in the Company’s prospectus, as supplemented, for the Public Offering. For each class of shares designated, this amount will initially equal $9.40 per share for redemptions of shares received as a result of a stock dividend; and |
| |
• | once the Company has established an estimated NAV per share, the redemption price will be the estimated NAV per share as of the redemption date. |
KBS GROWTH & INCOME REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2016
The board may amend, suspend or terminate the share redemption program upon 30 days’ notice to stockholders, provided that the Company may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares pursuant to the share redemption program upon 10 business days’ notice.
The Company records amounts that are redeemable under the share redemption program as redeemable common stock in its consolidated balance sheets because the shares will be mandatorily redeemable at the option of the holder and therefore their redemption is outside the control of the Company. The maximum amount redeemable under the Company’s share redemption program is limited to the number of shares the Company could redeem with the amount of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the distribution reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year. However, because the amounts that can be redeemed are determinable and only contingent on an event that is likely to occur (e.g., the passage of time) the Company presents the net proceeds from the current year and prior year distribution reinvestment plan, net of current year redemptions, as redeemable common stock in its consolidated balance sheets.
The Company will classify as liabilities financial instruments that represent a mandatory obligation of the Company to redeem shares. The Company’s redeemable common shares are contingently redeemable at the option of the holder. When the Company determines it has a mandatory obligation to repurchase shares under the share redemption program, it will reclassify such obligations from temporary equity to a liability based upon their respective settlement values.
Related Party Transactions
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Private Offering Dealer Manager Agreement and the Public Offering Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company is or was obligated to pay the Advisor and the Dealer Manager specified fees upon the provision of certain services related to the Private Offering and the Public Offering, the investment of funds in real estate and real estate-related investments, management of the Company’s investments and for other services (including, but not limited to, the disposition of investments). The Company is or was also obligated to reimburse the Advisor and Dealer Manager for organization and offering costs incurred by the Advisor and the Dealer Manager on behalf of the Company, and the Company is obligated to reimburse the Advisor for acquisition and origination expenses and certain operating expenses incurred on behalf of the Company or incurred in connection with providing services to the Company. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to certain other fees, including an incentive fee upon achieving certain performance goals, as detailed in the Advisory Agreement. See Note 8, “Related Party Transactions.”
In addition, in connection with certain property acquisitions, the Company, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, has entered into separate property management agreements (each, a “Property Management Agreement”) with KBS Management Group, LLC (the “Co-Manager”), an affiliate of the Advisor.
The Company records all related party fees as incurred, subject to any limitations described in the respective agreements. The Company had not incurred any disposition fees, subordinated participation in net cash flows or subordinated incentive fees payable to the Advisor through December 31, 2016.
Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees
In the Private Offering, the Company paid the Dealer Manager up to 6.5% of the price per share of Class A common stock sold in the primary portion of the Private Offering as a selling commission. The Dealer Manager reallowed 100% of selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. No sales commissions were paid on shares sold through the distribution reinvestment plan. In the Private Offering, the Company paid the Dealer Manager up to 2.0% of the price per share of Class A common stock sold in the primary portion of the Private Offering as a dealer manager fee. No dealer manager fee was payable on shares sold under the distribution reinvestment plan. From its dealer manager fee, the Dealer Manager could reallow to any participating broker-dealer up to 1.0% of the price per share of Class A common stock sold in the Private Offering attributable to that participating broker-dealer as a marketing fee and in special cases the dealer manager could increase the reallowance.

In the Public Offering, the Company pays selling commissions to the Dealer Manager in amounts up to 6.5% of the price per share of Class A common stock sold in the primary portion of the Public Offering and up to 3.0% of the price per share of Class T common stock sold in the primary portion of the Public Offering. Additionally, in the Public Offering, the Company pays dealer manager fees to the Dealer Manager in an amount up to 2.0% of the price per share of Class A and Class T common stock sold in the primary portion of the Public Offering. The Dealer Manager reallows all selling commissions to participating broker dealers and may generally reallow (from its dealer manager fee) to any participating broker dealer up to 1.0% of the gross proceeds from the primary portion of the Public Offering attributable to that participating broker dealer as a marketing fee and in select cases up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the primary portion of the Public Offering may be reallowed. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are payable on shares of common stock sold under the distribution reinvestment plan.
Acquisition and Origination Fees
The Company pays the Advisor 2.0% of the cost of investments acquired or originated by the Company, or the amount to be funded to acquire or originate loans, including acquisition and origination expenses and any debt attributable to such investments, plus significant capital expenditures budgeted as of the date of acquisition related to the development, construction or improvement of a real estate property. Acquisition fees calculated based on capital expenditures budgeted as of the date of acquisition are paid at the time funds are disbursed pursuant to a final approved budget upon receipt of an invoice by the Company.
Acquisition and Origination Expenses
The Company reimburses the Advisor for customary acquisition and origination expenses (including expenses relating to potential investments that the Company does not close), such as legal fees and expenses (including fees of independent contractor in-house counsel that are not employees of the Advisor), costs of due diligence (including, as necessary, updated appraisals, surveys and environmental site assessments), travel and communications expenses, accounting fees and expenses and other closing costs and miscellaneous expenses relating to the acquisition or origination of real estate properties and real estate-related investments.
Stockholder Servicing Fee
Pursuant to the Public Offering Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company pays the Dealer Manager an annual stockholder servicing fee of 1.0% of the purchase price per share (ignoring any discounts that may be available to certain categories of purchasers) of Class T common stock sold in the Primary Offering solely to the extent there is a broker dealer of record with respect to such Class T share that has entered into a currently effective selected dealer agreement or servicing agreement that provides for the payment to such broker dealer of the stockholder servicing fee with respect to such Class T share, and such broker dealer of record is in compliance with the applicable terms of such selected dealer agreement or servicing agreement related to such payment. To the extent payable, the stockholder servicing fee will accrue daily and be paid monthly in arrears, and the Dealer Manager will reallow 100% of the stockholder servicing fee to such broker dealer of record for services provided to Class T stockholders after the initial sale of the Class T share. In addition, no stockholder servicing fee will be paid with respect to Class T shares purchased through the distribution reinvestment plan or issued pursuant to a stock dividend.
The Company records the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and the related liability in an amount equal to the maximum stockholder servicing fee payable in relation to the Class T share on the date the share is issued. For each share of Class T common stock in the Primary Offering, the maximum stockholder servicing fee equals 4% of the purchase price per share (ignoring any discounts in purchase price that may be available to certain categories of purchasers). The liability will be reduced over time, as the fees are paid to the Dealer Manager, or it will be adjusted if the fees are no longer payable as a result of any of the following events (i) the date at which aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10% of the gross proceeds from the Primary Offering in which the Class T share was sold, as calculated by the Company with the assistance of the Dealer Manager after the termination of the Primary Offering in which the Class T share was sold, (ii) a listing of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange, (iii) a merger or other extraordinary transaction, and (iv) the date the Class T share associated with the stockholder servicing fee is no longer outstanding such as upon its redemption or the Company’s dissolution.

Asset Management Fee
The Company pays the Advisor a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.6% of the cost of its investments, less any debt secured by or attributable to the investments. The cost of the real property investments is calculated as the amount paid or allocated to acquire the real property, plus the budgeted capital improvement costs for the development, construction or improvements to the property once such funds are disbursed pursuant to a final approved budget and fees and expenses related to the acquisition, but excluding acquisition fees paid or payable to the Advisor. The cost of the Company’s real estate-related investments and any investments other than real property will be calculated as the lesser of: (x) the amount paid or allocated to acquire or fund the investment, including fees and expenses related to the acquisition or origination (but excluding acquisition or origination fees paid or payable to the Advisor), and (y) the outstanding principal amount of such investment, including fees and expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment (but excluding acquisition or origination fees paid or payable to the Advisor). In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee will be determined based on the Company’s proportionate share of the underlying investment.
Property Management Fee
The Company pays the Co-Manager a monthly fee equal to a percentage of the rent (determined on a property by property basis, consistent with current market rates), payable and actually collected for the month, from certain property acquisitions for which the Company has entered a Property Management Agreement with the Co-Manager. See Note 8, “Related-Party Transactions — Real Estate Property Co-Management Agreements.”
Disposition Fee
For substantial assistance in connection with the sale of the Company’s assets, which includes the sale of a single asset or the sale of all or a portion of the Company’s assets through a portfolio sale, merger or business combination transaction, the Company will pay the Advisor or its affiliates a percentage of the contract sales price of the assets sold (including residential or commercial mortgage-backed securities issued by a subsidiary of the Company as part of a securitization transaction). For dispositions with a contract sales price less than or equal to $1.5 billion, the disposition fee will equal 1.5% of the contract sales price. For dispositions with a contract sales price greater than $1.5 billion, the disposition fee will equal 1.5% of the first $1.5 billion of the contract sales price, plus 1.1% of the amount of the contract sales price in excess of $1.5 billion. The disposition fee is determined on a per transaction basis and is not cumulative. The Company will not pay a disposition fee upon the maturity, prepayment or workout of a loan or other debt-related investment, provided that (i) if the Company negotiates a discounted payoff with the borrower, the Company will pay a disposition fee and (ii) if the Company takes ownership of a property as a result of a workout or foreclosure of a loan, the Company will pay a disposition fee upon the sale of such property.
Subordinated Participation in Net Cash Flows
After the Company’s common stockholders have received, together as a collective group, aggregate distributions (including distributions funded from any source and those that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) sufficient to provide (i) a return of their gross investment amount, which is the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by the total number of shares repurchased by the Company (excluding shares received as a stock divided which we subsequently repurchased) multiplied by the weighted average issue price of the shares sold in a primary offering, and (ii) a 6% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such gross investment amount, the Advisor is entitled to receive 15% of the Company’s net cash flows, whether from continuing operations, net sales proceeds, net financing proceeds, or otherwise. Net sales proceeds means the net cash proceeds realized by the Company after deduction of all expenses incurred (i) in connection with a disposition of the Company’s assets, or (ii) from the prepayment, maturity, workout or other settlement of any loan or other investment. Net financing proceeds means the net cash proceeds realized from the financing of the Company’s assets or refinancing of the Company’s debt. The 6% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on gross investment amount is calculated on a daily basis. In making this calculation, gross investment amount is determined for each day during the period for which the 6% per year cumulative, noncompounded return is being calculated, including a daily adjustment to reflect shares repurchased by the Company (excluding shares received as a stock divided which we subsequently repurchased), and gross investment amount is reduced by the following: (i) distributions from net sales proceeds, (ii) distributions paid from operating cash flow in excess of a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of 6%, and (iii) distributions from net financing proceeds, except to the extent such distributions would be required to supplement prior distributions paid in order to achieve a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of 6%. Gross investment amount is only reduced as described above; it is not reduced simply because a distribution constitutes a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.

Subordinated Incentive Fee
Upon a merger or listing of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange, the Company will pay the Advisor an incentive fee. Upon a listing this fee will equal 15% of the amount by which (i) the market value of the outstanding stock plus the total of all distributions paid by the Company to stockholders from inception until the date market value is determined (including distributions funded from any source and those that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes and excluding any stock dividends) exceeds (ii) the sum of the stockholders’ gross investment amount, which is the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by the total number of shares repurchased by the Company (excluding shares received as a stock divided which we subsequently repurchased) multiplied by the weighted average issue price of the shares sold in a primary offering, and the amount of cash flow necessary to generate a 6% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on stockholders’ gross investment amount from inception of the Company through the date the market value is determined.
Upon a merger this fee will equal 15% of the amount by which (i) the merger consideration amount plus the total of all distributions paid or declared by the Company to stockholders from inception until the closing of the merger (including distributions funded from any source and those that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes and excluding any stock dividends) exceeds (ii) the sum of the stockholders’ gross investment amount, which is the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by the total number of shares repurchased by the Company (excluding shares received as a stock divided which we subsequently repurchased) multiplied by the weighted average issue price of the shares sold in a primary offering, and the amount necessary to generate a 6% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on stockholders’ gross investment amount from the Company’s inception through the closing of the merger.
The 6.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on gross investment amount is calculated on a daily basis. In making this calculation, gross investment amount is determined for each day during the period for which the 6.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return is being calculated, including a daily adjustment to reflect shares repurchased by the Company (excluding shares received as a stock dividend which the Company subsequently repurchased). In addition, gross investment amount is reduced by the following: (i) distributions from net sales proceeds, (ii) distributions paid from operating cash flow in excess of a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of 6.0%, and (iii) distributions from net financing proceeds, except to the extent such distributions would be required to supplement prior distributions paid in order to achieve a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of 6.0%. Gross investment amount is only reduced as described above; it is not reduced simply because a distribution constitutes a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.
Reimbursement of Operating Expenses
The Company may reimburse the expenses incurred by the Advisor or its affiliates in connection with their provision of services to the Company, including the Company’s allocable share of the Advisor’s overhead, such as rent, employee costs, utilities and cybersecurity costs. The Advisor may seek reimbursement for employee costs under the Advisory Agreement. At this time, the Company anticipates it will only reimburse the Advisor for its allocable portion of the salaries, benefits and overhead of internal audit department personnel providing services to the Company. In the future, if the Advisor seeks reimbursement for additional employee costs, such costs may include the Company’s proportionate share of the salaries of persons involved in the preparation of documents to meet SEC reporting requirements. The Company will not reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates for employee costs in connection with services for which the Advisor or its affiliates receive acquisition or origination fees or disposition fees (other than reimbursement of travel and communication expenses) or for the salaries and benefits the Advisor or its affiliates may pay to the Company’s executive officers.
The Company reimburses the Dealer Manager for certain fees and expenses it incurs for administering the Company’s participation in the DTCC Alternative Investment Product Platform, or the AIP Platform, with respect to certain accounts of the Company’s investors serviced through the AIP Platform.

The Company has entered, together with KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc., KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc., KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, Inc., the Dealer Manager, the Advisor and other KBS affiliated entities, an errors and omissions and directors and officers liability insurance program where the lower tiers of such insurance coverage are shared. The cost of these lower tiers is allocated by the Advisor and its insurance broker among each of the various entities covered by the program and is billed directly to each entity. The allocation of these shared coverage costs is proportionate to the pricing by the insurance marketplace for the first tiers of directors and officers liability coverage purchased individually by each REIT. The Advisor’s and the Dealer Manager’s portion of the shared lower tiers’ cost is proportionate to the respective entities’ prior cost for the errors and omissions insurance.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To continue 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 operates in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.
The Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions. The Company’s evaluation was performed for the tax year ended December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2016, return for the calendar year 2015 remains subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.
Segments
The Company had invested in three office buildings as of December 31, 2016. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue and net loss is from real estate, and therefore, the Company currently operates in one reportable segment.
Per Share Data
Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock equals basic net income (loss) per share of common stock as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period from January 27, 2015 to December 31, 2016. For the purpose of determining the weighted average number of shares outstanding, stock dividends issued during the period presented and subsequent to December 31, 2016 but before the issuance of the consolidated financial statements are adjusted retroactively and treated as if they were issued and outstanding for all periods presented.
Commencing September 2015, the Company has declared and issued stock dividends on shares of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2016 as follows:
|
| | | | |
Period | | Amount Declared per Share Outstanding (1) | | Total Shares Issued |
2015 | | 0.00334248 shares | | 4,543 |
2016 | | 0.01000004 shares | | 75,574 |
_____________________(1) Stock distributions are declared on a monthly basis and the amount declared per share outstanding assumes each share was issued and outstanding for the entire periods presented. Stock dividends are issued in the same class of shares as the shares for which such stockholder received the stock dividend.

During the year ended December 31, 2016 and the period from January 27, 2015 to December 31, 2015, aggregate cash distributions declared per share of Class A common stock were $0.49999890 and $0.16712301 per share of Class A common stock, respectively, assuming the share was issued and outstanding each date that was a record date for distributions during the period. During the year ended December 31, 2016, aggregate cash distributions declared per share of Class T common stock were $0.17462989, assuming the share was issued and outstanding from July 26, 2016 through December 31, 2016. For each day that was a record date for distributions during the year ended December 31, 2016, distributions were calculated at a rate of (i) $0.00136986 per share per day, less (ii) the applicable daily class-specific stockholder servicing fees accrued for and allocable to any class of common stock, divided by the number of shares of common stock of such class outstanding as of the close of business on each respective record date. Each day during the period from January 1, 2016 through February 28, 2016 and March 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 was a record date for distributions.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260-10-45, Earnings Per Share, the Company uses the two-class method to calculate earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on dividends declared (“distributed earnings”) and the rights of common shares and participating securities in any undistributed earnings, which represents net income remaining after deduction of dividends declared during the period. The undistributed earnings are allocated to all outstanding common shares based on the relative percentage of each class of shares to the total number of outstanding shares. The Company does not have any participating securities outstanding other than Class A Common Stock and Class T Common stock during the periods presented.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU No. 2014-09”). ASU No. 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes the revenue requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. ASU No. 2014-09 does not apply to lease contracts within the scope of Leases (Topic 840). ASU No. 2014-09 was to be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU No. 2015-14”), which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year. Early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date. As the primary source of revenue for the Company is generated through leasing arrangements, which are scoped out of this standard, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 to have a significant impact on its financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU No. 2014-15”). The amendments in ASU No. 2014-15 require management to evaluate, for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or are available to be issued when applicable) and, if so, provide related disclosures. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-15 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements, although it could require additional disclosures in future periods if conditions or events exist that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU No. 2016-01”). The amendments in ASU No. 2016-01 address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU No. 2016-01 primarily affects accounting for equity investments and financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected. ASU No. 2016-01 also requires entities to present financial assets and financial liabilities separately, grouped by measurement category and form of financial asset in the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 to have a significant impact on its financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU No. 2016-02”). The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 change the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 as of its issuance is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new leases standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments (“ASU No. 2016-13”). ASU No. 2016-13 affects entities holding financial assets and net investments in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-13 require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. ASU No. 2016-13 also amends the impairment model for available-for-sale securities. An entity will recognize an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities as a contra-account to the amortized cost basis rather than as a direct reduction of the amortized cost basis of the investment, as is currently required. ASU No. 2016-13 also requires new disclosures. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, an entity will be required to disclose information about how it developed its allowance for credit losses, including changes in the factors that influenced management’s estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. For financing receivables and net investments in leases measured at amortized cost, an entity will be required to further disaggregate the information it currently discloses about the credit quality of these assets by year of the asset’s origination for as many as five annual periods. For available for sale securities, an entity will be required to provide a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses and an aging analysis for securities that are past due. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-13 on its financial statements, but does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU No. 2016-15”). ASU No. 2016-15 is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-15 provide guidance on eight specific cash flow issues, including the following that are or may be relevant to the Company: (a) Cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities; (b) Cash payments relating to contingent consideration made soon after an acquisition’s consummation date (i.e., approximately three months or less) should be classified as cash outflows for investing activities. Payments made thereafter should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities up to the amount of the original contingent consideration liability. Payments made in excess of the amount of the original contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows for operating activities; (c) Cash payments received from the settlement of insurance claims should be classified on the basis of the nature of the loss (or each component loss, if an entity receives a lump-sum settlement); (d) Relating to distributions received from equity method investments, ASU No. 2016-15 provides an accounting policy election for classifying distributions received from equity method investments. Such amounts can be classified using a (1) cumulative earnings approach, or (2) nature of distribution approach. Under the cumulative earnings approach, an investor would compare the distributions received to its cumulative equity method earnings since inception. Any distributions received up to the amount of cumulative equity earnings would be considered a return on investment and classified in operating activities. Any excess distributions would be considered a return of investment and classified in investing activities. Alternatively, an investor can choose to classify the distributions based on the nature of activities of the investee that generated the distribution. If the necessary information is subsequently not available for an investee to determine the nature of the activities, the entity should use the cumulative earnings approach for that investee and report a change in accounting principle on a retrospective basis; (e) In the absence of specific guidance, an entity should classify each separately identifiable cash source and use on the basis of the nature of the underlying cash flows. For cash flows with aspects of more than one class that cannot be separated, the classification should be based on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source or use of cash flow. ASU No. 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-15 on its financial statements, but does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 to have a material impact on its financial statements, but does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 to have a material impact to its financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU No. 2016-18”). ASU No. 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2016-18 for the reporting period ending December 31, 2016 and applied it retrospectively. As a result of adoption of ASU No. 2016-18, the Company no longer presents the changes within restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU No. 2017-01”) to add guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU No. 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. If the screen is not met, ASU No. 2017-01 (1) requires that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. ASU No. 2017-01 provides a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. The framework includes two sets of criteria to consider that depend on whether a set has outputs. Although outputs are not required for a set to be a business, outputs generally are a key element of a business; therefore, the FASB has developed more stringent criteria for sets without outputs. ASU No. 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied to transactions occurring before the guidance was issued (January 5, 2017) as long as the applicable financial statements have not been issued. The Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2017-01 for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2017. As a result of adoption of ASU No. 2017-01, the Company’s acquisitions of investment properties beginning January 1, 2017 could qualify as an asset acquisition (as opposed to a business combination). Therefore, transaction costs associated with asset acquisitions will be capitalized, while these costs associated with business combinations will continue to be expensed as incurred.

Operating Leases
The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of December 31, 2016, the leases had remaining terms, excluding options to extend, of up to 9.5 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 5.2 years. Some of the leases have provisions to extend the term of the leases, options for early termination for all or a part of the leased premises after paying a specified penalty, and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires a security deposit from the tenant in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. The amount required as a security deposit varies depending upon the terms of the respective lease and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally is not a significant amount. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $0.6 million and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2016 and during the period from January 27, 2015 through December 31, 2015, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants, net of lease incentive amortization, of $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the cumulative deferred rent balance was $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included $0.2 million of unamortized lease incentives as of December 31, 2016.
As of December 31, 2016, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under its non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a concentration of credit risk related to AECOM, a tenant in The Offices at Greenhouse in the engineering industry, which represented 26% of the Company’s annualized base rent. The tenant individually occupied 140,922 rentable square feet or approximately 27% of the total rentable square feet of the Company’s real estate portfolio. Of the 140,922 rentable square feet, 5,195 rentable square feet expires on July 24, 2019, with two three-year extension options, and 135,727 rentable square feet expires on December 31, 2024, with two five-year extension options. As of December 31, 2016, the annualized base rent for this tenant was approximately $3.0 million or $21.39 per square foot. No other tenant represented more than 10% of the Company’s annualized base rent.
No material tenant credit issues have been identified at this time.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s real estate properties were leased to approximately 40 tenants over a diverse range of industries. The Company’s highest tenant industry concentration (greater than 10% of annualized base rent) was as follows:

Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other non-financial and financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value, as defined under GAAP, is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
| |
• | Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; |
| |
• | Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and |
| |
• | Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and for which markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments for which markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents, rent and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities: These balances approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
Notes payable: The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.
The following were the face values, carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s notes payable as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, which carrying amounts generally do not approximate the fair values (in thousands):
|

Disclosure of the fair values of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company as of the period end and requires a significant amount of judgment. The actual value could be materially different from the Company’s estimate of value.

In addition, in connection with certain property acquisitions, the Company, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, will enter or has entered into separate Property Management Agreements with the Co-Manager, an affiliate of the Advisor.
The Company has also entered into a fee reimbursement agreement with the Dealer Manager pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the Dealer Manager for certain fees and expenses it incurs for administering the Company’s participation in the DTCC Alternative Investment Product Platform with respect to certain accounts of the Company’s investors serviced through the platform.

On August 12, 2015, in connection with the acquisition of Von Karman Tech Center, the Company borrowed $2.6 million pursuant to a bridge loan from the Advisor (the “Advisor Bridge Loan”). The principal under the promissory note bore simple interest from the date of the advance at the rate of 5% per annum. On September 3, 2015, the Company repaid $1.5 million of the Advisor Bridge Loan. On November 12, 2015, the Company paid off the remaining outstanding principal balance and interest due under the Advisor Bridge Loan of $1.1 million.

Advance from the Advisor
The Advisor advanced funds to the Company for distribution record dates through the period ended May 31, 2016. The Company is only obligated to repay the Advisor for its advance if and to the extent that:
| |
(i) | the Company’s modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), as such term is defined by the Investment Program Association and interpreted by the Company, for the immediately preceding month exceeds the amount of cash distributions declared for record dates of such prior month (an “MFFO Surplus”), and the Company will pay the Advisor the amount of the MFFO Surplus to reduce the principal amount outstanding under the advance, provided that such payments shall only be made if management in its sole discretion expects an MFFO Surplus to be recurring for at least the next two calendar quarters, determined on a quarterly basis; or |
| |
(ii) | Excess proceeds from third-party financings are available (“Excess Proceeds”), provided that the amount of any such Excess Proceeds that may be used to repay the principal amount outstanding under the advance shall be determined by the conflicts committee in its sole discretion. |
No interest accrues on the advance made by the Advisor.
KBS GROWTH & INCOME REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2016
In determining whether Excess Proceeds are available to repay the advance, the Company’s conflicts committee will consider whether cash on hand could have been used to reduce the amount of third-party financing provided to us. If such cash could have been used instead of third-party financing, the third-party financing proceeds will be available to repay the advance.
Real Estate Property Co-Management Agreements
In connection with its property acquisitions, the Company, through separate indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into separate property management agreements (each, a “Property Management Agreement”) with KBS Management Group, LLC (the “Co-Manager”), an affiliate of the Advisor. Under each Property Management Agreement, the Co-Manager will provide certain management services related to these properties in addition to those provided by the third-party property managers. In exchange for these services, the properties will pay the Co-Manager a monthly fee equal to a percentage of the rent, payable and actually collected for the month from each of the properties. Each Property Management Agreement has an initial term of one year and will be deemed renewed for successive one-year periods provided it is not terminated. Each party may terminate the Property Management Agreement without cause on 30 days’ written notice to the other party and may terminate each Property Management Agreement for cause on 5 days’ written notice to the other party upon the occurrence of certain events as detailed in each Property Management Agreement.
