1. Business and Organization

Global Income Trust, Inc., formerly known as Macquarie CNL Global Income Trust, Inc., was organized in Maryland on March 4, 2009. The term “Company” includes, unless the context otherwise requires, Global Income Trust, Inc., Global Income, LP, formerly known as Macquarie CNL Income, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), Global Income GP, LLC, formerly known as Macquarie CNL Income GP, LLC, and other subsidiaries of the Company. The Company operates, and has elected to be taxed, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company’s advisor is CNL Global Income Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), formerly known as Macquarie CNL Global Income Advisors, LLC, and the Company’s property manager is CNL Global Income Managers, LLC (the “Property Manager”), formerly known as Macquarie CNL Global Income Managers, LLC, each of which is a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned affiliate of CNL Financial Group, LLC (“CNL”), the Company’s sponsor. The Advisor is responsible for managing the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on behalf of the Company pursuant to an advisory agreement between the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor.

Prior to June 30, 2011, the Advisor and Property Manager were joint ventures between CNL and affiliates of Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets Inc. (“MIRA”). On June 30, 2011, Macquarie Real Estate Advisory Services LLC (“MREAS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of MIRA, sold its equity interests in the Advisor and Property Manager to affiliates of CNL. The ownership changes of the Advisor and Property Manager did not affect the Company’s investment objectives or strategies.

Substantially all of the Company’s acquisition, operating, administrative and property management services are provided by sub-advisors to the Advisor and sub-property managers to the Property Manager. Affiliates of CNL and MIRA serve as sub-advisors and as sub-property managers. In addition, on June 30, 2011, the Advisor entered into a sub-advisory agreement and a sub-property management agreement with MGPA Advisory (Singapore) Pte Ltd (“MGPA Advisory”). MGPA Advisory is a subsidiary of MGPA Limited, an independently managed private equity real estate investment advisory company focused on real estate investment in Europe and Asia in which an affiliate of MIRA has a joint venture interest. This network of sub-advisors and sub-property managers offers the Company access to professionals experienced in making and managing real estate and real estate-related investments in various regions around the world. The Company seeks to invest in global income oriented real estate investments by leveraging the value of the international real estate expertise of MIRA and MGPA Advisory and their affiliates combined with the domestic real estate expertise of CNL.

On April 23, 2010, the Company commenced its initial public offering of up to $1.5 billion of shares of common stock (the “Offering”) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. On October 6, 2010, the Company received aggregate subscription proceeds in excess of the minimum offering amount of $2.0 million in shares of common stock, and on October 8, 2010, subscription proceeds of approximately $2.4 million were released from escrow and the Company commenced operations. Prior to October 8, 2010, the Company was in its development stage and had not commenced operations. As a result, there are no comparative financial statements for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had received aggregate offering proceeds of approximately $22.2 million, including proceeds from shares sold through its distribution reinvestment plan.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 may not be indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. Amounts as of December 31, 2010 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 2010 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries over which it has control. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Real Estate—Upon acquisition of properties, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and intangible assets generally consisting of above- and below-market leases and in-place leases, and allocates the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections using appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation and available market information. Above- and below-market lease values are recorded based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid and management’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for each in-place lease. The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of the acquired lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease up periods, including estimates of lost rental income during the expected lease up periods, and costs to execute similar leases such as leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant and land at its appraised value.

Real estate owned as of September 30, 2011, is leased to tenants on a net or modified gross basis, whereby the tenant is responsible for some or all of the operating expenses relating to the property, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs. The leases are accounted for using the operating method. Under the operating method, revenue is recognized as rentals are earned and expenses (including depreciation) are charged to operations as incurred. Buildings and improvements are depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Tenant improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the terms of their respective leases. When scheduled rentals vary during the lease term, income is recognized on a straight-line basis so as to produce a constant periodic rent over the term of the lease.

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant renovations and replacements, which improve and extend the life of the asset, are capitalized.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Impairment of Real Estate Assets—Real estate assets are reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance and general market conditions, that the value of the real estate properties (including any related amortizable intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. A property value is considered impaired if management’s estimate of current and projected operating cash flows (undiscounted and unleveraged) of the property over its remaining useful life is less than the net carrying value of the property. Such cash flow projections consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. To the extent impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the property is adjusted to an amount to reflect the estimated fair value of the property.

Concentration of Credit Risk—As of September 30, 2011, the Company’s cash deposits exceeded federally insured amounts. However, the Company continues to monitor the third-party depository institution that holds the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, primarily with the goal of safety of principal. The Company attempts to limit cash investments to financial institutions with high credit standing; therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Restricted Cash—Certain amounts of cash are deposited in a lockbox with the lender or are restricted to fund future expenditures for the Company’s real estate properties. Such amounts have been classified as restricted cash on the balance sheet.

Intangible Assets—Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method of accounting over the respective lease term or estimated useful life. The capitalized above-market or below-market lease intangible is amortized to rental income over the estimated remaining term of the respective leases (including renewal periods for below market rate leases only). Intangible assets associated with in-place leases are amortized over the remaining term of the respective lease. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its scheduled expiration, all unamortized costs relating to that lease will be expensed. Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or upon a triggering event.

Loan Costs—Financing costs paid in connection with obtaining debt are deferred and amortized over the life of the debt using either the effective interest rate or straight-line method, as applicable.

Tenant Reimbursement Income—Tenant reimbursement income represents amounts tenants are required to reimburse the Company in accordance with the terms of the leases and are recognized in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.

Acquisition Fees and Expenses—Acquisition fees, including investment services fees and expenses associated with transactions deemed to be business combinations are expensed as incurred. Acquisition fees and expenses associated with making loans and with transactions deemed to be an asset purchase are capitalized.

Net Loss Per Share—Net loss per share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented.

Use of Estimates—Management may make estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. For example, significant estimates and assumptions are made in connection with the allocation of purchase price and the analysis of real estate investments for impairment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Reclassifications—Certain prior period amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

3. Acquisitions

On June 8, 2011, the Company acquired a fee interest in an approximately 51,000 rentable square foot, free-standing light industrial building located on approximately 12 acres of land in Pflugerville, Texas, which is near the Austin, Texas metropolitan area (the “Austin Property”) for $4.55 million, exclusive of closing costs. The purchase price was funded using proceeds from the Offering and a draw of approximately $2.8 million from the Company’s existing revolving line of credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), as described in Note 8, “Indebtedness.” In connection with the acquisition of the Austin Property, the Company incurred approximately $155,000 in acquisition fees and expenses, including investment services fees, closing costs and other acquisition related expenses.

8. Indebtedness

On March 24, 2011, the Company entered into the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility provides a revolving line of credit to acquire properties in an initial amount of up to $35 million. The Company may request a one-time increase in the facility amount up to a total facility of $50 million prior to September 24, 2012, subject to no default having occurred or continuing at the time of the increase. The Credit Facility has an initial term of two years, with an option by the Company to extend for one 12-month period, subject to the payment of an extension fee and certain other conditions.

The proceeds of the Credit Facility will be made available, subject to various conditions, to fund corporate working capital needs, the acquisition of stabilized income producing commercial real properties and, subject to certain limitations, the acquisition of real estate-related equity securities and real estate-related debt instruments. Draws on the Credit Facility for real property acquisitions are collateralized by a first mortgage or deed of trust, as applicable, on the real property, a perfected first priority security interest in personal property relating to the real estate, and a pledge of the Company’s equity interest in the entity acquiring the property. The Credit Facility has a variable interest rate generally equal to LIBOR plus 275 or 325 basis points, or the lender’s prime rate plus 25 or 75 basis points, depending on certain factors. Payments on draws on the Credit Facility are interest only until maturity. The Company is also required to pay an annual fee ranging from 37.5 to 50 basis points on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company incurred approximately $444,000 in origination fees and other loan costs. These costs have been capitalized and are being amortized as interest expense over the initial term of the Credit Facility.

On June 8, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of the Austin Property, $2.82 million was drawn on the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2011, amounts payable under the Credit Facility totaled $2,827,050, including $7,050 in interest expense.

The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, representations, warranties and borrowing conditions, all set forth in the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The Credit Facility also contains customary events of default and remedies for the lender. The aggregate loan or any individual draw made under the Credit Facility may be prepaid, subject to a minimal prepayment fee.

8. Indebtedness (continued)

 

On June 28, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Heritage Commons III, the Company obtained a $12.4 million loan (the “Mortgage Note Payable”). The Mortgage Note Payable bears interest at the rate of 4.7% per annum and has a five year term to July 1, 2016, with an extension option to December 1, 2018. Principal and interest on the loan is calculated based on a 25 year amortization, payable in equal monthly installments of $70,338 beginning August 1, 2011. The loan may be prepaid, at the Company’s option after August 1, 2013, subject to a yield maintenance charge. The loan is collateralized by a deed of trust, assignment of leases and rents, and security agreement granting the lender a first priority security interest in Heritage Commons III. The loan generally is nonrecourse to the borrower, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed to acquire Heritage Commons III, except in the event of certain insolvency events involving the borrower or its managing member, or if the borrower fails to comply with certain covenants under the loan agreement.

Generally, the loan documents contain customary covenants, agreements, representations and warranties and events of default, all as set forth in the loan documents. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The Operating Partnership has guaranteed certain of the borrower’s obligations under the loan agreement. In connection with the Mortgage Note Payable, the Company incurred approximately $232,000 in loan costs.

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, 100% of the distributions paid to stockholders were considered a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.

Amounts as of December 31, 2010, included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements, notes and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

The following information contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements generally are characterized by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “believe” and “expect” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: the unfavorable current global economic environment, conditions affecting the CNL brand name, increased direct competition, changes in government regulations or accounting rules, changes in local, national and global real estate conditions, our ability to obtain lines of credit or permanent financing on satisfactory terms, changes in interest rates, availability of proceeds from our offering of shares, our ability to identify suitable investments, our ability to close on identified investments, inaccuracies of our accounting estimates, our ability to locate suitable tenants and operators for our properties and borrowers for our loans and the ability of such tenants and borrowers to make payments under their respective leases or loans. Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on such statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

GENERAL

Global Income Trust, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was organized pursuant to the laws of the State of Maryland on March 4, 2009. We intend to invest in and operate income-oriented commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on a global basis. These investments may also include the investment in, and origination of, real estate-related investments such as mortgage, mezzanine, bridge, and other loans, debt securities such as commercial mortgage backed securities and those issued by other real estate companies, equity securities of real estate companies, as well as other real estate-related investments. We may invest in a range of real estate sectors including office properties, retail centers, business and industrial parks (including warehouse, manufacturing and distribution facilities), multifamily properties (including student and senior housing), hospitality properties, healthcare properties and self storage properties, as well as other classifications of commercial real estate property. We anticipate that up to 60% of our assets may be located outside the United States. However, the relative percentage of domestic acquisitions compared to acquisitions outside of the United States may be weighted differently at any point in time, depending on global market conditions and opportunities.

Changes Relating to our Advisor and Property Manager

Our advisor is CNL Global Income Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) and our property manager is CNL Global Income Managers, LLC (the “Property Manager”), each of which is a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned by affiliates of CNL Financial Group, LLC (“CNL”), our sponsor.

Prior to June 30, 2011, both the Advisor and Property Manager were joint ventures between CNL and affiliates of Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets Inc. (“MIRA”). On June 30, 2011, Macquarie Real Estate Advisory Services LLC (“MREAS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of MIRA, sold its equity interests in the Advisor and Property Manager to affiliates of CNL. The ownership changes of the Advisor and Property Manager did not affect our investment objectives or strategies.

Substantially all of our acquisition, operating, administrative and property management services are provided by sub-advisors to the Advisor and by sub-property manager to the Property Manager. Affiliates of CNL and MIRA serve as sub-advisors and as sub-property managers. In addition, on June 30, 2011, the Advisor entered into a sub-advisory agreement and a sub-property management agreement with MGPA Advisory (Singapore) Pte Ltd (“MGPA Advisory”). MGPA Advisory is a subsidiary of MGPA Limited, an independently managed private equity real estate investment advisory company focused on real estate investment in Europe and Asia in which an affiliate of MIRA has a joint venture interest. This network of sub-advisors and sub-property managers offers the Company access to professionals experienced in making and managing real estate and real estate-related investments in various regions around the world.

Our management believes that these changes facilitate a more efficient way to leverage the global real estate competency of MIRA and MGPA Limited while decreasing certain of our administrative costs. Our investment objectives and policies remain the same and no changes were made to our advisory agreement with our Advisor or our property management agreement with our Property Manager. Although a CNL affiliate is the sole member of our Advisor and as such has sole management authority for our Advisor, our Advisor’s investment committee was expanded to seven members and includes one member designated by the MREAS sub-advisor, two members designated by the MGPA sub-advisor, and four members designated by our Advisor. In accordance with our policies, no investment can be made without the approval of the investment committee.

Taxation as a REIT

We currently operate and have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. In addition, we intend to continue to be organized and to operate so as to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax at the corporate level on our ordinary income and capital gains which we distribute currently to our stockholders. In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders and meet other compliance requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is lost. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income (loss) and cash flows. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. We may also be subject to foreign taxes on investments outside of the U.S. based on the jurisdictions in which we may conduct business.

Asset Diversification and Global Focus

Location – In June 2011, we acquired our first two properties both of which are in Texas – a distribution center outside of Austin and an office building in Fort Worth. We recently announced the purchase of a second office building in the Fort Worth area. Our Advisor is currently evaluating other possible investments including a fully leased suburban value retail center located approximately forty minutes outside of a major city in Germany. We are currently negotiating a purchase and sale agreement for the property, however there can be no assurance that we will enter into a purchase and sale agreement for the property, or that if we do, that all or any conditions or contingencies will be satisfied and an acquisition of this property will be completed.

Our initial focus on U.S. properties was based on the relative ease with which we could conduct due diligence and acquire assets of relatively small dollar investments. Our anticipated purchase of the value retail center in Germany is fully aligned with our long term objective of investing up to 60% of our assets in locations outside the U.S.

In addition to sound property-level attributes, we carefully reviewed relevant demographic and economic factors that we expect to affect each property location as follows:

 

   

The Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Area, the fourth largest in Texas with an estimated population of 1.7 million, has a robust, stable economy, and is within 200 miles of three of the nation’s largest ten cities in

population. It is one of the fastest growing regions in the country, with its population having increased more than 40 percent in the past decade. Austin has one of the highest concentrations of technology and biotechnology companies nationally. The property has been fully leased by an investment grade tenant for ten years. The lease was renewed in April 2011 for an additional five years and upon expiration of the current term may be extended at the tenant’s option for an additional five years.

 

   

Fort Worth, Texas is home to more than 260 companies, 28,000 employees and 7,400 single-family homes. Dallas/Fort Worth is the fourth largest metro area in the country with a population of 6.45 million residents. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the area had the second highest rate of population growth between 2000 and 2010. The Dallas/Fort Worth office market is the second largest office market in the U.S. and has positive absorption rates for Class A properties. The area is home to the headquarters of several Fortune 500 companies.

 

   

The suburban value retail space we are negotiating to acquire in Germany is in a region that is home to a population of 5.5 million. Value retail is an attractive asset class and a growing industry segment within Germany. Germany is attractive because of the relative stability of its economy within the Eurozone and the favorable employment and labor environment. In particular, Germany has experienced relatively limited negative impacts from the effort to resolve the European debt crisis due to its comparative strength in the region.

We expect to diversify our investments domestically and internationally by making further acquisitions. We see opportunities across sectors, including well-located suburban office, industrial and retail in select markets throughout the U.S. and we continue to research markets around the globe for opportunities that are consistent with our strategy. In particular, we are considering Europe and Asia for potential target acquisitions once we have raised additional equity, because:

 

   

While some countries within Europe are currently deleveraging at different speeds through a variety of austerity measures, opportunities can be found in many countries and cities because of their varied economies, governmental policies and prospects.

 

   

Asia is experiencing a surge in population, a strengthening of household incomes and with the trend toward urbanization these attributes are leading to increased demand for office and retail properties.

Asset type—Our initial investment focus has been to invest directly in real estate. We have indicated in our Offering documents, and continue to believe, that we will also invest in real estate through joint ventures, and that up to 30% of the portfolio could be invested in commercial real estate-related debt securities such as, B notes, mezzanine loans or commercial mortgage backed securities.

Asset class—Although our initial assets include industrial and office, we expect to invest in a wide variety of asset classes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

Our principal demands for funds during the next 12 months will be for real estate and real estate-related acquisitions and the payment of offering and operating expenses, distributions and debt service on any outstanding indebtedness. Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions from our cash flow from operations, and we expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions from net offering proceeds and financings. However, until such time as we are fully invested, we expect to continue to use proceeds from our offering to pay a portion of our operating expenses, distributions and debt service.

We expect to have little, if any, cash flow from operations available for distribution until we make substantial investments. There will be a delay between the sale of our shares and the purchase of properties or other investments, which could impact the amount of cash available for distributions. Therefore, we may determine to pay some or all of our cash distributions from sources other than our operations, such as from cash flows generated from financing activities, a component of which may include the proceeds of our public offering and borrowings, whether collateralized by our assets or uncollateralized. In addition, our Advisor, its affiliates or related parties may also advance cash to us or waive or defer asset management fees or other fees in order to increase cash available to pay distributions to stockholders or to pay expenses, but are not required to do so.

Table of Contents

There is no limitation on the amount we may invest in any single property or other asset or on the amount we can borrow for the purchase of any individual property or other investment. Our intent is to target our aggregate borrowings to between 30% to 60% of the aggregate value of our assets, once we own a seasoned and stable asset portfolio. Under our articles of incorporation, our indebtedness may not exceed 300% of our net assets as of the date of any borrowing unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent directors and is disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report. In addition to the limitations contained in our articles of incorporation, our board of directors has adopted a policy to limit our aggregate borrowings to approximately 75% of the aggregate value of our assets unless substantial justification exists that borrowing a greater amount is in our best interests. Our policy limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets and only will apply once we have ceased raising capital under our current or any subsequent offering and have invested substantially all of our capital. As a result, we may borrow more than 75% of the contract purchase price of each real estate asset we acquire to the extent our board of directors determines that borrowing these amounts is prudent.

We, through subsidiaries of our operating partnership formed to make investments, generally will seek to borrow on a non-recourse basis, in amounts that we believe will maximize the return to our stockholders. The use of non-recourse financing allows us to improve returns to our stockholders and to limit our exposure on any investment to the amount invested. Non-recourse indebtedness means the indebtedness of the borrower or its subsidiaries is collateralized only by the assets to which such indebtedness relates, without recourse to the borrower or any of its subsidiaries, other than in the case of customary carve-outs for which the borrower or its subsidiaries act as guarantor in connection with such indebtedness, such as fraud, misappropriation, misapplication of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentation.

We intend to strategically leverage our real properties and use debt as a means of providing additional funds for the acquisition of properties and the diversification of our portfolio. Our ability to increase our diversification through borrowing could be adversely affected by credit market conditions which result in lenders reducing or limiting funds available for loans secured by real estate. During times when interest rates on mortgage loans are high or financing is otherwise unavailable on a timely basis, we may purchase certain properties for cash with the intention of obtaining a mortgage loan for a portion of the purchase price at a later time.

Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from collateralized or uncollateralized financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of properties, securitization of mortgages and other notes receivable and undistributed funds from operations (“FFO”). If necessary, we may use financings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures.

The number of properties, loans and other permitted investments we may acquire or make will depend on the number of shares sold through our offering of common stock and the resulting amount of the net offering proceeds available for investment. If the number of shares sold is substantially less than the maximum amount of the offering, we will likely make only a limited number of investments and will not achieve significant diversification of our investments.

Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources

Common Stock Offering

Our main source of capital is the proceeds of our public offering of up to $1.5 billion of shares of common stock (the “Offering”) which commenced on April 23, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, we had received aggregate proceeds of approximately $22.2 million from our Offering, including proceeds from the sale of shares through our distribution reinvestment plan. During the period October 1, 2011 through November 4, 2011, we received additional proceeds of approximately $1.3 million from our Offering. We expect to continue to raise capital under our Offering.

Borrowings

On March 24, 2011, we entered into a credit agreement with a third party lender (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides a revolving line of credit to acquire properties in an initial amount of up to $35 million. We may request a one-time increase in the facility amount up to a total facility of $50 million prior to September 24, 2012, subject to no default

having occurred or continuing at the time of the increase. The Credit Facility has an initial term of two years, with an option by us to extend for one 12-month period, subject to the payment of an extension fee and certain other conditions.

The Credit Facility has a variable interest rate generally equal to LIBOR plus 275 or 325 basis points, or the lender’s prime rate plus 25 or 75 basis points, depending on certain factors. Payments on draws on the Credit Facility are interest only, with all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest due on March 24, 2013. We are also required to pay an annual fee ranging from 37.5 to 50 basis points on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2011, we had drawn $2.82 million under the Credit Facility in connection with our acquisition of the industrial distribution center described below. The availability of additional funds is subject to borrowing base asset requirements and other covenant restrictions.

On June 28, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Heritage Commons III, described below, we obtained a $12.4 million loan from a third party lender. The loan bears interest at the rate of 4.7% per annum and has a five year term to July 1, 2016, with an extension option to December 1, 2018. Principal and interest on the loan is calculated based on a 25 year amortization, payable in equal monthly installments of $70,338 beginning August 1, 2011. Our operating partnership has guaranteed certain of the borrower’s obligations under the loan agreement. As of September 30, 2011, the balance of the loan was approximately $12.3 million.

Concurrent with the acquisition of Heritage Commons IV on October 27, 2011, we closed on a mortgage loan with a third party lender in the amount of $20.5 million and a mezzanine loan in the amount of $4.0 million. Refer to Note 12. “Subsequent Events,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information pertaining to the terms of this loan.

Uses of Liquidity and Capital Resources

Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we acquired the following real estate investment properties:

 

Property/Description

   Location      Date of
Acquisition
     Purchase Price  

Heritage Commons III

Class A office building (fee interest)

     Texas         6/28/2011       $ 18,750,000   

Austin Property

Industrial Distribution Center (fee interest)

     Texas         6/8/2011         4,550,000   
        

 

 

 
        Total       $ 23,300,000   
        

 

 

 

We funded $12.4 million and approximately $2.8 million of the Heritage Commons III and Austin Property purchase prices, respectively, with debt proceeds and the balance with proceeds of our Offering.

On October 27, 2011, we acquired a Class A office building known as Heritage Commons IV, located on approximately 10 acres of land in the Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area (“Heritage Commons IV”) for $31 million, exclusive of closing and loan costs. We funded $24.5 million of the purchase price from the proceeds of a $20.5 million mortgage loan and a $4.0 million mezzanine loan, and paid the balance of the purchase price and the closing and loan costs from proceeds of our current Offering. In connection with our investment in Heritage Commons IV, we paid our Advisor an investment services fee of $573,500, which is equal to 1.85% of the purchase price of the property.

Stock Issuance and Offering Costs

Under the terms of the Offering, certain affiliates are entitled to receive selling commissions and a marketing support fee of up to 7% and 3%, respectively, of gross offering proceeds on shares sold, excluding shares sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, and reimbursement of actual expenses incurred in connection with the Offering

 

20


Table of Contents

such as, filing fees, legal, accounting, printing and due diligence expense reimbursements, which are recorded as stock issuance and Offering costs and deducted from stockholders’ equity. In accordance with the our articles of incorporation, the total amount of selling commissions, marketing support fees, and other organizational and Offering costs to be paid by us may not exceed 15% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds. Offering costs are generally funded by our Advisor and subsequently reimbursed by us subject to this limitation.

As of September 30, 2011, we have paid or accrued approximately $3.3 million in stock issuance and Offering expenses, representing the maximum amount described above. An additional $5.5 million of costs incurred in connection with the Offering (exceeding the 15% limitation on expenses) have been paid or incurred by our Advisor on our behalf as of September 30, 2011. These costs will be recognized by us in future periods as we receive future Offering proceeds to the extent such costs are within the 15% limitation.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we used $1.2 million of net cash in operating activities. Approximately $0.8 million of such amount was acquisition fees and expenses which were funded from proceeds of our Offering. The balance was primarily general and administrative expenses in excess of our net operating income from our property investments for the period. Because we have only recently acquired properties and are in our acquisition stage, the net operating income from our properties is not yet sufficient to fund all of our expenses. Until such time as we generate sufficient net operating income from our investments, we expect to continue to fund such amounts with Offering proceeds.

Distributions

On May 25, 2010, our board of directors authorized a daily distribution of $0.0017808 per share of common stock (which is equal to an annualized distribution rate of 6.5% based on a 365 days calendar year) to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day, payable monthly, until terminated or amended by the board of directors.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we declared cash distributions totaling $726,700, including $115,514 declared but unpaid as of September 30, 2011, which were distributed on October 14, 2011. Distributions paid to stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were made from capital proceeds and were considered a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

From the time of our formation on March 4, 2009 through October 7, 2010, we had not commenced operations because we were in our development stage and had not received the minimum required Offering amount of $2.0 million in shares of common stock. Operations commenced on October 8, 2010, when aggregate subscription proceeds in excess of the minimum Offering amount were released to us from escrow. As a result, there are no comparative financial statements for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

As of September 30, 2011, we owned two real estate investment properties that were 100% leased under operating leases.

The Austin Property is leased to FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. as a distribution center. The lease will expire on April 14, 2016, subject to the tenant’s option to extend the lease for an additional five year period. Annualized base rent is approximately $422,000, payable monthly, and the tenant is responsible for payment of property taxes, general liability insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, excluding structural and roof expenses.

Heritage Commons III is leased to DynCorp International, LLC, a global government services provider. The lease expires on December 31, 2018 and may be renewed at the option of the tenant for two additional terms of five years each. Annualized base rent for Heritage Commons III is currently approximately $2.19 million, payable monthly, increasing to approximately $2.28 million commencing October 1, 2016. In addition to base rent, the tenant also is responsible for payment of certain electrical expenses and operating expenses in excess of a specified amount for Heritage Commons III, subject to caps on certain expenses.

Table of Contents

The following is a discussion of our results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011:

Revenue. Rental revenue and tenant reimbursements were approximately $0.9 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The Austin Property was acquired June 8, 2011 and Heritage Commons III was acquired June 28, 2011; therefore, revenues represent only a portion of what we expect to recognize for a full nine months in future periods for the two properties. In addition, we expect future increases in revenue as we continue to invest in additional real estate properties.

Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, were approximately $0.4 million. These expenses are also expected to increase in future periods as we acquire additional properties and the Austin Property and Heritage Commons III are operational for the full period.

General and Administrative Expense. General, operating and administrative expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and were comprised primarily of reimbursable personnel expenses of affiliates of our Advisor, directors’ and officers’ insurance, accounting and legal fees, and board of directors fees.

Acquisition Fees and Expenses. Acquisition fees and expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, were approximately $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of investment services fees paid to our Advisor in connection with our two property acquisitions during the second quarter.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and was comprised of depreciation and amortization of the buildings, improvements and in-place leases related to our two properties.

Asset Management Fee. We incurred approximately $0.1 million in asset management fees payable to our Advisor during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, as a result of it managing our two property investments.

Interest Expense and Loan Cost Amortization. Interest expense and loan cost amortization for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, consisting primarily of interest expense and loan cost amortization relating to debt on our two property investments and the fee on the unused portion of the Credit Facility.

The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, are not indicative of future performance due to the limited time in which we have been operational and the fact that we completed our first property acquisitions late in the second quarter. As we continue to acquire properties, we expect to have increased revenues and incur greater expenses in each of the above categories.

Beginning with the Expense Year April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012, to the extent that operating expenses (as defined in the advisory agreement with the Advisor) payable or reimbursable by us, in any consecutive four quarters (an “Expense Year”), exceed the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income (as defined in the advisory agreement with our Advisor), our Advisor will be required to reimburse us such excess, unless a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors.

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from the acquisition and operation of properties, loans and other permitted investments, other than those referred to in the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND MODIFIED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) promulgated a measure known as funds from operations

 

22


Table of Contents

(“FFO”), which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a real estate investment trust, or REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004, or the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, but including asset impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.

Notwithstanding the widespread reporting of FFO, changes in accounting and reporting rules under GAAP that were adopted after NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted a significant increase in the magnitude of non-operating items included in FFO. For example, acquisition fees and expenses, which we intend to fund from the proceeds of our Offering and which we do not view as an operating expense of a property, are now deducted as expenses in the determination of GAAP net income. As a result, the Investment Program Association (“IPA”), an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as modified FFO, or MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-listed REITs and which we believe to be another additional supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT. Under IPA Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs (“IPA Guideline”), MFFO excludes from FFO additional non-cash or non-recurring items, including the following:

 

   

acquisition fees and expenses which have been deducted as expenses in the determination of GAAP net income;

 

   

non-cash amounts related to straight-line rent;

 

   

amortization of above or below market intangible lease assets and liabilities;

 

   

accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments;

 

   

impairments of real-estate related investments (including properties, loans receivable, and equity and debt investments);

 

   

realized gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt;

 

   

realized gains or losses on the extinguishment or sales of hedges, foreign exchange, securities and other derivatives holdings except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of our operations;

 

   

unrealized gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting, including interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives;

 

   

unrealized gains or losses related to consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting;

 

   

adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations where such adjustments have been included in the derivation of GAAP net income; and

 

   

adjustments related to the above items for unconsolidated entities in the application of equity accounting.

We consider MFFO as a supplemental measure when assessing our operating performance. We have calculated MFFO in accordance with the IPA Guideline. As of September 30, 2011, our MFFO is FFO, excluding acquisition fees and expenses, straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above market leases, which we believe is helpful in evaluating our results of operations for the reasons discussed below.

 

   

Acquisition fees and expenses. In evaluating investments in real estate, management’s investment models and analyses differentiate between costs to acquire the investment and the operating results derived from the investment. Acquisition fees and expenses have been and will continue to be funded from the proceeds of this Offering and other financing sources and not from operations. We believe by

 

23


Table of Contents
 

excluding acquisition fees and expenses, MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable between differing reporting periods for each type of our real estate investments and is more indicative of future operating results from our investments as consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. The exclusion of acquisition fees and expenses is generally the most significant adjustment to us at the present time, as we are currently in our offering and acquisition stages. However, if earnings from the operations of our properties or net sales proceeds from the future disposition of our properties are not sufficient enough to overcome the acquisition costs and fees incurred, then such fees and expenses will have a dilutive impact on our returns.

 

   

Amortization of above market leases. Under GAAP, certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and are amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, we believe that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.

 

   

Straight-line rent adjustment. Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to restate such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

We may, in the future, make other adjustments to FFO as identified above at the time that any such other adjustments become applicable to our results of operations. MFFO, for example, may exclude impairment charges of real estate related investments, gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting and adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations. Each of these items relates to a fair value adjustment, which is based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions and specific performance of the holding, which may not be directly attributable to our current operating performance. As these gains or losses relate to underlying long-term assets and liabilities, where we are not speculating or trading assets, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in our core operating fundamentals rather than changes that may reflect anticipated gains or losses. In particular, because GAAP impairments represent non-cash charges that are not allowed to be reversed if the underlying fair values improve or because the timing of impairment charges may lag the onset of certain operating consequences, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information related to current consequences, benefits and sustainability related to rental rates, occupancy and other core operating fundamentals. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance. While impairment charges may be excluded from the calculation of MFFO as described above, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. In addition, MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining MFFO.

We believe that MFFO is helpful in assisting management to assess the sustainability of our distribution and operating performance in future periods, particularly after our offering and acquisition stages are complete because MFFO excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect property operations only in the period in which a property is acquired; however, MFFO should only be used by investors to assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our Offering has been completed and properties have been acquired. Acquisition fees and expenses have a negative effect on our cash flows from operating activities during the periods in which properties are acquired.

Presentation of MFFO also is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different non-traded REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate MFFO. Furthermore, MFFO is not necessarily indicative of cash flows available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an

 

24


Table of Contents

indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. MFFO should not be construed as a historic performance measure or as more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income (loss) and its applicability in evaluating our operating performance.

FOOTNOTES:

(1) In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our Advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. Acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property.
(2) Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and are amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.
(3) Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to restate such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method of accounting over the respective lease term or estimated useful life. The capitalized above-market or below-market intangible is amortized to rental income over the estimated remaining term of the respective leases (including renewal periods for below market rate leases only). Intangible assets associated with in-place leases are amortized over the remaining term of the respective lease to depreciation and amortization expense. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its scheduled expiration, all unamortized costs relating to that lease will be expensed. Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or upon a triggering event.

See our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a summary of our other Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties and to make loans and other permitted investments. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we expect to borrow and lend primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available, and in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.

We may be exposed to foreign currency exchange rate movements as the result of investing outside of the U.S. At such time as we have foreign investments, we will evaluate various foreign currency risk mitigating strategies in an effort to minimize any impact on earnings.

The following is a schedule of our fixed and variable rate debt maturities for each of the next five years, and thereafter (principal maturities only):

Management estimates that a hypothetical one-percentage point increase in LIBOR from June 8, 2011 (date of draw under the Credit Facility), would have resulted in additional interest costs of approximately $9,000 for the nine months September 30, 2011. This sensitivity analysis contains certain simplifying assumptions, and although it gives an indication of our exposure to changes in interest rates, it is not intended to predict future results and our actual results will likely vary.

Our fixed rate mortgage which totaled $12.3 million at September 30, 2011, is subject to market risk to the extent that the stated interest rates vary from current market rates for borrowings under similar terms.

To estimate the fair value of our long-term debt, we used interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. We believe the carrying values of our fixed and variable rate debt approximate fair value at September 30, 2011.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
