Second Quarter Financial Results for our Predecessor(1)

Total revenues of our predecessor for the second quarter of 2013 were $3.3 million, an increase of 4.4% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the six month period ended June 2013, total revenues were $6.6 million, an increase 3.0% from the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Rental revenues increased to $2.6 million for the second quarter, up 2.7% from the same period of 2012, primarily due to two new triple net leases totaling 15,431 square feet and a new 5-year lease extension on a 38,098 square foot space entered into in December 2012, February 2013, and June 2012, respectively. For the first six months of 2013, rental revenues were $5.0 million, essentially the same as the prior year period, primarily due to the expiration and non-renewal of a lease, offset by the two new triple net leases and the 5-year lease extension.

Expense recoveries were $0.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 10.4% from the second quarter of 2012, due primarily to the new triple net leases described above. Expense recoveries for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 were $1.6 million, an increase of 14.2% from the prior year period.

For the second quarter of 2013, operating expenses were $2.6 million, an increase of 6.4% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. Operating expenses for the six month period were $5.3 million, an increase of 2.2% from the six months ended June 30, 2012.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, our predecessor had a net loss before discontinued operations of $0.3 million versus a net loss of $0.4 in the second quarter of 2012. Net loss before discontinued operations for the first six months of 2013 was $0.6 million compared to a net loss of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

(1)  Financial results reflect the operations of our predecessor, which is not a legal entity but rather a combination of real estate entities under common control by The Ziegler Companies, Inc. and represent results prior to completion of our IPO and our ownership of the properties in our initial portfolio.
