In evaluating this acquisition and determining the appropriate amount of consideration to be paid, we considered a variety of factors including property type, geographic market and demographics, tenants and lease terms.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Excel Trust, Inc.

and

Board of Directors of the General Partner

Excel Trust, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses of the property (the “Florida Property”) for the year ended December 31, 2013, and related notes to the statement of revenues and expenses.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this financial statement in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as described in Note 1; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of a financial statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the statement of revenue and certain expenses presents fairly, in all material respects, the operations of the Florida Property for the year ended December 31, 2013 in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, described in Note 1.

Basis of Presentation

We draw attention to Note 1 to the statement of revenues and certain expenses, which describes the basis of presentation. The financial statement is prepared in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which is a basis of presentation that includes historical revenues and certain operating expenses of the Florida Property, exclusive of items which may not be comparable to expected future operations of the Florida Property. The financial statement is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Florida Property’s revenues and expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

FLORIDA PROPERTY

NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses include the operations of a retail shopping center located in Florida (the “Florida Property”), which was acquired by Excel Trust, Inc. on October 1, 2014.

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses relate to the Florida Property and have been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, the statements are not representative of the actual operations for the periods presented as revenues and certain operating expenses, which may not be directly attributable to the revenues and expenses expected to be incurred in the future operations of the Florida Property, have been excluded. Such items include depreciation, amortization, management fees, interest expense, interest income, and professional services.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition – The Florida Property recognizes rental revenue from tenants on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset.

Tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recognized and presented at gross amounts, as the Florida Property is generally the primarily obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier and bears the associated credit risk.

Use of Estimates – Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting and disclosure of revenues and certain expenses during the reporting periods to present the statements of revenues and certain expenses in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Minimum Future Lease Rentals

Various lease agreements are in place with tenants to lease space in the Florida Property. As of September 30, 2014, the minimum future rents receivable under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows (in thousands):

 

2014 (three months ending December 31, 2014)

   $ 2,008   

2015

     7,599   

2016

     5,252   

2017

     4,797   

2018

     4,624   

2019 and thereafter

     13,386   
  

 

 

 
   $ 37,666   
  

 

 

 

Leases generally require reimbursement of the tenant’s proportional share of common area expenses, real estate taxes and other operating expenses, which are excluded from the amounts above.

4. Related Party Transactions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2013, the Florida Property paid management and other fees of $167,000 and $239,000, respectively, to a company affiliated with the seller of the Florida Property.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

The Florida Property is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. Management believes that the ultimate settlement of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Florida Property’s results of operations.


6. Concentration of Credit Risk

The Florida Property’s two largest tenants together accounted for 32% and 36% of the Florida Property’s rental revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.

7. Subsequent Events

The Florida Property evaluated subsequent events through November 11, 2014, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.


Excel Trust, Inc. and

Excel Trust, L.P.

Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The following unaudited pro forma financial information of Excel Trust, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) and Excel Trust, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership,” and together with the Parent Company, the “Company”) is based on the historical financial statements of the Company. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 has been prepared as if the acquisition of the Florida Property had occurred on September 30, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 have been prepared as if the acquisition of the Florida Property had occurred on January 1, 2013.

Such unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The unaudited pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations of the Company that would have occurred if the acquisition of the Florida Property had been completed on the date indicated, nor does it purport to represent the Company’s results of operations as of any future date or for any future period. The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Company are adjusted to include the acquisition of the Florida Property. In addition, the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon pro forma allocations of the purchase price of the Florida Property based upon preliminary estimates of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition. These allocations may be adjusted in the future upon finalization of these preliminary estimates. Management believes all material adjustments necessary to reflect the effect of the acquisition have been made to the unaudited pro forma financial information.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

(Unaudited)

(A) Derived from the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2014.

(B) To reflect the acquisition of the Florida Property as if it were acquired September 30, 2014 for a purchase price of $141.5 million, not including closing costs. The acquisition was funded by cash on hand and approximately $98.8 million of borrowings from the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. The acquisition method of accounting was used to allocate the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities and other working capital liabilities assumed according to their fair values. The purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis for the pro forma adjustments as follows (in thousands):

 

Land

   $ 42,480   

Building

     77,964   

Site improvements

     7,120   

Tenant improvements

     11,997   

Debt premium

     (1,545

Lease intangible assets

     13,169   

Lease intangible liabilities

     (9,685
  

 

 

 
   $ 141,500   
  

 

 

 

(C) Derived from the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013.

(D) To reflect the acquisition of the Florida Property as if it were acquired on January 1, 2013. The pro forma adjustments include the pro forma operations of the Florida Property. The acquisition method of accounting was used to allocate the purchase price to tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities according to their fair values. The amount allocated to building, site improvements and tenant improvements is depreciated over an estimated useful life of 40 years, 11 years and nine years, respectively. The amounts allocated to above- and below-market intangible assets and liabilities are amortized over the lives of the related leases, with an average life of nine years each.

Historical revenue of $6.3 million and $7.4 million is increased by $207,000 and $550,000, respectively, for the pro forma net amortization of above- and below-market leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Expenses are based on historical operations of the previous owner except for real estate property tax, which is calculated using an estimated reassessed tax basis subsequent to the acquisition (based on the purchase price and prevailing tax rates). Tenant recoveries have been adjusted to reflect the estimated property tax expense.

Interest expense reflects estimated interest costs incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 related to the assumption of a $42.7 million mortgage note and borrowings of $98.8 million from the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility used to fund the acquisition. The mortgage note bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.60% and the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 90 to 170 basis points, depending on the Company’s credit rating. Interest is assumed to be 1.45% for the periods presented based on historic LIBOR rates during the period from January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014, which have ranged from 0.15% to 0.16% (a 0.125% variance in the assumed interest rate of 1.45% would result in an increase or decrease in interest expense of approximately $93,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $123,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013).
