KBS GROWTH & INCOME REIT, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2017
(unaudited)
1. | ORGANIZATION |
KBS Growth & Income REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was 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. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through KBS Growth & Income Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on January 14, 2015. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owns a 0.1% partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership. KBS Growth & Income REIT Holdings LLC (“REIT Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on January 14, 2015, owns the remaining 99.9% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and is the sole limited partner. The Company is the sole member and manager of REIT Holdings.
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 March 31, 2017, 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 certain 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 is 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.

KBS GROWTH & INCOME REIT, INC.

(unaudited)
The Company 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 March 31, 2017, the Company had sold 264,912 and 223,428 shares of Class A and Class T common stock in the Public Offering, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $4.9 million, including 174,895 and 1,309 shares of Class A and Class T common stock under its DRP offering, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $1.7 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 |
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, REIT Holdings, the Operating Partnership, and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
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.
Segments
The Company had invested in three office buildings as of March 31, 2017. 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 three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the purpose of determining the weighted average number of shares outstanding, stock dividends issued during the period presented and subsequent to March 31, 2017 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.
The Company has declared and issued stock dividends on shares of the Company’s common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31, | Amount Declared per Share Outstanding (1) | Total Shares Issued | ||
2016 | 0.00246576 shares | 6,974 | ||
2017 | 0.00249999 shares | 22,685 |
(1) Stock dividends are declared on a monthly basis and the amount declared per share outstanding assumes each share was issued and outstanding each date that was a record date for stock dividends during the 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 three months ended March 31, 2017, aggregate cash distributions declared per share of Class A common stock were $0.12328740, assuming the share was issued and outstanding each date that was a record date for distributions during the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, aggregate cash distributions declared per share of Class T common stock were $0.09880255, assuming the share was issued and outstanding each date that was a record date for distributions during the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, aggregate cash distributions declared per share of Class A common stock were $0.12328740, assuming the share was issued and outstanding each date that was a record date for distributions during the period. No shares of Class T common stock were outstanding during three months ended March 31, 2016. For each day that was a record date for distributions during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 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 three months ended March 31, 2017 and 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 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 ended December 31, 2016 and it was applied retrospectively. As a result of the 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) removes 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 the adoption of ASU No. 2017-01, the Company’s acquisitions of investment properties beginning January 1, 2017 could qualify as asset acquisitions (as opposed to business combinations). Transaction costs associated with asset acquisitions are capitalized, while transaction 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 March 31, 2017, the leases had remaining terms, excluding options to extend, of up to 9.3 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 4.9 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 $0.6 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants, net of lease incentive amortization, of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the cumulative deferred rent balance was $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included $0.2 million and $0.2 million of unamortized lease incentives as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
As of March 31, 2017, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under its non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):
April 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 | $ | 7,992 | |

$ | 58,856 |
As of March 31, 2017, 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 March 31, 2017, 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 March 31, 2017, 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:
_____________________
Industry | Number of Tenants | Annualized Base Rent (1) | Percentage of Annualized Base Rent | ||||||
Professional, scientific and legal | 8 | $ | 4,795 | 41.5 | % | ||||
Information | 4 | 1,433 | 12.4 | % |
(1) Annualized base rent represents annualized contractual base rental income as of March 31, 2017, adjusted to straight-line any contractual tenant concessions (including free rent), rent increases and rent decreases from the lease’s inception through the balance of the lease term.

(1) Contractual interest rate represents the interest rate in effect under the loan as of March 31, 2017. Effective interest rate is calculated as the actual interest rate in effect at March 31, 2017 (consisting of the contractual interest rate), using interest rate indices at March 31, 2017, where applicable.
(2) Represents the maturity date as of March 31, 2017; subject to certain conditions, the maturity dates of certain loans may be extended beyond the dates shown.
(3) Subsequent to March 31, 2017, the Company paid off the Von Karman Tech Center Mortgage Loan with cash on hand and proceeds from the Term Loan. See footnote (5) below.
(4) As of March 31, 2017, $41.0 million of term debt was outstanding and $6.4 million remained available for future disbursements, subject to certain terns and conditions set for in the loan documents.
(5) As of March 31, 2017, the Term Loan was secured by The Offices at Greenhouse. The face amount of the Term Loan is $65.0 million, of which $32.5 million is term commitment and $32.5 million is revolving commitment. The outstanding principal balance bears interest at a rate of 235 basis points over one-month LIBOR. As of March 31, 2017 the outstanding balance under the loan was $30.6 million of term commitment. As of March 31, 2017, an additional $1.9 million of term commitment and $32.5 million of revolving commitment remained available for future disbursement, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the loan documents. On May 9, 2017, the Company entered into an Assumption and Joinder Agreement with the lender of the Term Loan for Von Karman Tech Center to be added as a collateral property under the Term Loan. The unfunded commitment of $14.9 million, consisting of $1.9 million of term commitment and $13.0 million of revolving commitment, was assigned to Von Karman Tech Center, of which $1.9 million of the term commitment was funded at closing.
(6) The Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate of 275 basis points plus the greater of zero percent and one-month LIBOR. Monthly payments are initially interest only. However, if the Company does not meet the equity raised requirement, it will be required to pay the minimum principal amortization payments in four equal installments on or before October 6, 2017, November 8, 2017, December 8, 2017 and January 8, 2018. As of March 31, 2017, $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.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred $0.7 million and $0.2 million of interest expense, respectively. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $0.2 million and $0.2 million of interest expense were payable, respectively. Included in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $0.1 million and $15,485 of amortization of deferred financing costs, respectively.

6. | FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES |
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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, which carrying amounts generally do not approximate the fair values (in thousands):

The Company, 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, entered into 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. The insurance program is effective through June 30, 2017.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, no other business transactions occurred between the Company and KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc., KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc. and KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, Inc.
Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, summarized below are the related-party costs incurred by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and any related amounts payable as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands).

Reimbursable Operating Expenses
Reimbursable operating expenses primarily related to directors and officers liability insurance, legal fees, state and local taxes, accounting software and cybersecurity related expenses incurred by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement. The Company has reimbursed the Advisor for the Company’s allocable portion of the salaries, benefits and overhead of internal audit department personnel providing services to the Company. These amounts totaled $52,342 and $2,547 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and were the only type of employee costs reimbursed under the Advisory Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company will not reimburse for employee costs in connection with services for which the Advisor earns acquisition, origination or disposition fees (other than reimbursement of travel and communication expenses) or for the salaries or benefits the Advisor or its affiliates may pay to the Company’s executive officers. In addition to the amounts above, the Company reimburses the Advisor for certain of the Company’s direct costs incurred from third parties that were initially paid by the Advisor on behalf of the Company.
Commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Advisor must reimburse the Company the amount by which the Company’s aggregate total operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters then ended exceed the greater of 2% of the Company’s average invested assets or 25% of the Company’s net income, unless the conflicts committee has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors.
The Company’s conflicts committee determined that the relationship of the Company’s total operating expenses and its net assets was justified for each of the four fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 given the costs of operating a public company and the early stage of the Company’s operations and approved total operating expenses in excess of the operating expense reimbursement obligation in the first quarter of 2017 and fourth quarter of 2016.
Advance from the Advisor
The Advisor advanced funds to the Company, which are non-interest bearing, 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. |
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.
Property Name | Effective Date | Annual Fee Percentage | ||

Commonwealth Building | 07/01/2016 | 1.25% | ||
The Offices at Greenhouse | 11/14/2016 | 0.25% |
Organization and Offering Costs
Offering costs include all expenses incurred in connection with the Private Offering and the Public Offering. Organization costs include all expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Company, including but not limited to legal fees and other costs to incorporate the Company.
With respect to the Public Offering, the Advisor and the Dealer Manager will generally pay the organization and offering expenses of the Company incurred in the Primary Offering (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid other than in connection with the Company’s online distribution channel) directly and the Company will reimburse the Advisor and the Dealer Manager for the commercially reasonable organization and other offering expenses they incur on behalf of the Company in connection with the Primary Offering subject to the following limitations.
No reimbursements made by the Company to the Advisor or the Dealer Manager may cause total organization and offering expenses incurred by the Company (including selling commissions, dealer manager fees, the stockholder servicing fee and all other items of organization and offering expenses) to exceed 15% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the Primary Offering and the DRP Offering as of the date of reimbursement.
The Company will reimburse the Advisor, the Dealer Manager and its affiliates for up to 1% of gross proceeds raised in the Primary Offering, provided that the Company will not be responsible for paying or reimbursing the Advisor or its affiliates for any organization and other offering expenses related to shares sold in the Primary Offering through the Company’s online distribution channel. The Advisor, the Dealer Manager and its affiliates will be responsible for all organization and other offering expenses (which excludes selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid other than in connection with the Company’s online distribution channel) related to the Primary Offering to the extent they exceed 1% of gross proceeds raised in the Primary Offering (excluding gross proceeds raised in the Primary Offering through the Company’s online distribution channel) and the Advisor and its affiliates will be responsible for all organization and other offering expenses related to shares sold in the Primary Offering through the Company’s online distribution channel. The Company may pay organization and other offering expenses directly to the extent the Company believes it would ultimately be responsible for reimbursing the Advisor for such costs pursuant to the terms above had the Advisor paid the costs directly. The Company does not reimburse the Dealer Manager for wholesaling compensation expenses.
During the Private Offering, there was no limit on the amount of organization and offering costs the Company could incur, and the Company was obligated to reimburse the Advisor and its affiliates for all organization and offering costs (excluding wholesaling compensation expenses) paid by them on behalf of the Company.

(unaudited)
Through March 31, 2017, the Advisor and its affiliates had incurred organization and other offering costs (which exclude selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) on the Company’s behalf in connection with the Public Offering of approximately $4.5 million. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had recorded $48,732 of organization and other offering expenses related to the Public Offering, which amounts represent the Company's maximum liability for organization and other offering costs as of March 31, 2017 based on the limitations described above. As March 31, 2017, the Company had recorded $1.5 million of organization and other offering costs related to the Private Offering. Organization costs are expensed as incurred and offering costs are deferred and charged to stockholder’s equity as such amounts are reimbursed to the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates from the gross proceeds of the applicable offering.
8. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Economic Dependency
The Company depends on the Advisor and the Dealer Manager for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the sale of the Company’s shares of common stock; the identification, evaluation, negotiation, origination, acquisition and disposition of investments; management of the daily operations of the Company’s investment portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the respective services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company may become party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and possible range of loss. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Although there can be no assurance, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s property, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the property could result in future environmental liabilities.
9. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Status of the Offering
The Company commenced the Public Offering on April 28, 2016. As of May 5, 2017, the Company had sold 324,412 and 264,557 shares of Class A and Class T common stock in the Public Offering, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $5.9 million. Included in these amounts were 215,587 and 2,583 shares of Class A and Class T common stock under its distribution reinvestment plan, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $2.1 million.
Cash Distributions Paid
On April 3, 2017, the Company paid cash distributions of $0.4 million and $7,415, which related to Class A and Class T cash distributions, respectively, declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from March 1, 2017 through March 31, 2017. On May 2, 2017, the Company paid cash distributions of $0.4 million and $7,809, which related to Class A and Class T cash distributions, respectively, declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from April 1, 2017 through April 30, 2017.

Stock Dividends Issued
On April 4, 2017, the Company issued 7,476 shares of Class A common stock and 187 shares of Class T common stock in connection with stock dividends declared for each share of common stock outstanding on March 31, 2017. On May 3, 2017, the Company issued 7,512 shares of Class A common stock and 216 shares of Class T common stock in connection with Class A and Class T stock dividends declared for each share of common stock outstanding on April 30, 2017.
Distributions Declared
On May 9, 2017, the Company’s board of directors declared cash distributions on the outstanding shares of all classes of the Company’s common stock based on daily record dates for the period from June 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017, which the Company expects to pay in July 2017, and the period from July 1, 2017 through July 31, 2017, which the Company expects to pay in August 2017. Investors may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through the Company’s 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 May 9, 2017, the Company’s board of directors declared stock dividends of 0.00083333 shares and 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 June 30, 2017 and July 31, 2017, respectively, which the Company expects to issue in July 2017 and August 2017, respectively. Stock dividends are issued in the same class of shares as the shares for which such stockholder received the stock dividend.
Second Amended and Restated Distribution Reinvestment Plan
On April 5, 2017, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Second Amended and Restated Distribution Reinvestment Plan (the “Amended DRP”). Pursuant to the Amended DRP, until the Company announces an estimated NAV per share, participants in the distribution reinvestment plan will acquire shares of the common stock of the Company at the “net investment amount” per share disclosed in the most recent prospectus for the Company’s public offering. This amount will be based on the “amount available for investment/net investment amount” percentage shown in the estimated use of proceeds table of the prospectus for the Company’s public offering. The net investment amount per share is the same for all shares. Purchases pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan will be in the same class of shares as the shares for which such stockholder received the distributions that are being reinvested. For both Class A and Class T shares, the distribution reinvestment plan purchase price will be equal to $9.40 per share. The change to the purchase price of shares in the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan offering took effect on April 28, 2017. There were no other changes in the Amended DRP.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of KBS Growth & Income REIT, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to KBS Growth & Income REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, KBS Growth & Income Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “Operating Partnership,” and to their subsidiaries.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of KBS Growth & Income REIT, Inc. and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
• | We commenced investment operations on August 12, 2015 in connection with our first investment and we have a limited operating history. We are dependent on our advisor to identify suitable investments and to manage our investments. |
• | All of our executive officers, our affiliated director and other key real estate and debt finance professionals are also officers, an affiliated director, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, our dealer manager, our affiliated property manager and/or other KBS-affiliated entities. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our advisor’s and its affiliates’ compensation arrangements with us and other KBS-sponsored programs and KBS-advised investors and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions. |
• | Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other KBS-sponsored programs or KBS-advised investors, our advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties and other investments and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, meaning that we could invest in less attractive assets, which could reduce the investment return to our stockholders. |
• | Our advisor and its affiliates receive fees in connection with transactions involving the purchase or origination and management of our investments. These fees are 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. This may influence our advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us and increases our stockholders’ risk of loss. In addition, we have paid and will pay substantial fees to and expenses of our advisor, our dealer manager, our affiliated property manager, their affiliates and participating broker-dealers, which payments increase the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment. We may also pay significant fees during our listing/liquidation stage. |
• | If we are unable to raise substantial funds during our offering stage, we may not be able to acquire a diverse portfolio of real estate investments, which may cause the value of an investment in us to vary more widely with the performance of specific assets and cause our general and administrative expenses to constitute a greater percentage of our revenue. Raising fewer proceeds during our offering stage, therefore, could increase the risk that our stockholders will lose money in their investment. |
• | We may fund distributions from any source, including, without limitation, offering proceeds or borrowings (which may constitute a return of capital). Until the proceeds from our offering stage are fully invested and from time to time during our operational stage, we expect to use proceeds from financings, either from our advisor or a third-party, to fund at least a portion of distributions in anticipation of cash flow to be received in later periods. We may also fund distributions from the sale of assets or from the maturity, payoff or settlement of debt investments. As of March 31, 2017, some of our distributions paid have been funded with advances from our advisor and debt financing. Distributions funded from sources other than our cash flow from operations will result in dilution to subsequent investors, reduce funds available for investment in assets and may reduce the overall return to our stockholders. |
• | If we are unable to locate investments with attractive yields while we are investing the proceeds raised in our offering stage, our distributions and the long-term returns of our investors may be lower. |
23
PART I. | FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) |
Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) |
• | Our policies do 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), and we may exceed this limit with the approval of the conflicts committee of our board of directors. During the early stages of our public offering, and to the extent financing in excess of this limit is available on attractive terms, our conflicts committee may approve debt such that our aggregate borrowings would exceed this limit. High debt levels could limit the amount of cash we have available to distribute and could result in a decline in the value of our stockholders’ investment. |
• | We depend on tenants for the revenue generated by any real estate investments we make and, accordingly, the revenue generated by our real estate investments is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from any properties we acquire could decrease due to a reduction in occupancy (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases) and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to meet any debt service obligations we have incurred and limiting our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. |
• | Any real estate investments we make may be affected by unfavorable real estate market and general economic conditions, which could decrease the value of those assets and reduce the investment return to our stockholders. Revenues from real estate properties and assets directly securing any real estate-related investments we acquire or originate could decrease. Such events would make it more difficult for the borrowers under such investments to meet their payment obligations. These events could in turn make it more difficult for us to meet debt service obligations and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. |
• | We cannot predict with any certainty how much, if any, of our distribution reinvestment plan proceeds will be available for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to: the repurchase of shares under our share redemption program; capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs and leasing costs related to any real estate properties we acquire; reserves required by any financings of real estate investments; funding obligations under any real estate loan receivable; the acquisition or origination of real estate investments, which would include payment of acquisition or origination fees to our advisor; and the repayment of debt. If such funds are not available from our distribution reinvestment plan offering, then we may have to use a greater proportion of our cash flow from operations to meet these cash requirements, which would reduce cash available for distributions and could limit our ability to redeem shares under our share redemption program. |
• | Disruptions in the financial markets and uncertain economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to implement our business strategy and generate returns to our stockholders. |
• | We have debt obligations with variable interest rates and may incur additional variable rate debt in the future. The interest and related payments will vary with the movement of LIBOR or other indexes. Increases in the indexes could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. |
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified herein and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, all filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
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.

PART I. | FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) |
Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) |
As of March 31, 2017, 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 an 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 the initial public offering. The dealer manager is responsible for marketing our shares in the initial public offering. As of March 31, 2017, we had sold 264,912 and 223,428 shares of Class A and Class T common stock in the public offering, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $4.9 million, including 174,895 and 1,309 shares of Class A and Class T common stock under its distribution reinvestment plan, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $1.7 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 March 31, 2017, 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 unsettled 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 Europe is slowing, but the liquidity generated from these programs continues to impact the global capital markets.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) |
At a duration of 94 months (as of the end of first quarter 2017), 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 March 2017, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “FED”) increased interest rates for the third time in three years. 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 a business cycle. Real gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth has averaged approximately 2% per year over the past two 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 a 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 for the third time in three years. 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.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) |
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 March 31, 2017, we had raised approximately $81.7 million in gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of our Class A common stock in our private offering, separate private transactions and 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 the public offering.
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 our 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 March 31, 2017, 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 three months ended March 31, 2017 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, which are non-interest bearing, 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. |
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 our 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 March 31, 2017, our aggregate borrowings were approximately 56% of our net assets before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves.
27
PART I. | FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) |
Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) |
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 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.
Under our charter, we are required to limit our total operating expenses to the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters, as these terms are defined in our charter, unless the conflicts committee has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. Operating expense reimbursements for the four fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2017 exceeded the charter imposed limitation; however, the conflicts committee determined that the relationship of our operating expenses to our average invested assets was justified for these periods given the costs of operating a public company and the early stage of our operations.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
As of March 31, 2017, we owned three office properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $0.1 million. 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 $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and consisted of cash for improvements to real estate.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.1 million and consisted primarily of the following:
• | $1.6 million of net cash provided by offering proceeds related to our public offering, net of payments of commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs of $0.1 million; and |
• | $0.5 million of net cash distributions, after giving effect to distributions reinvested by stockholders of $0.6 million. |

Results of Operations
Overview
The SEC declared the registration statement for our 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 March 31, 2017 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 March 31, 2016, we owned one office building. Subsequent to March 31, 2016, we acquired two office properties and owned three buildings as of March 31, 2017. The results of operations presented for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 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 2017 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments.

Rental income and tenant reimbursements increased from $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio. We expect that rental income and tenant reimbursements to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments.
Operating, maintenance, and management expenses increased from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio. We expect operating, maintenance, and management expenses to increase in future periods as a result of inflation and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments.
Real estate taxes and insurance increased from $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio. We expect real estate taxes and insurance to increase in future periods as a result of inflation and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments.
Asset management fees to affiliate increased from $20,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments.
General and administrative expenses increased from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. These general and administrative costs consisted primarily of portfolio legal fees, board of directors fees and internal audit compensation. We expect general and administrative costs to increase in the future as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments.
Depreciation and amortization increased from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in the future as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments.
Interest expense increased from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.1 million and $15,485 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to increased borrowings in connection with the acquisition of real estate, resulting in an increase in the average loan balance. We expect interest expense to increase in the future as a result of anticipated borrowings for future acquisitions of real estate investments.
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. FFO represents net income, excluding gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), impairment losses on real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We believe FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other REITs. However, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. Our management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and provides a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.
30
PART I. | FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) |
Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Changes in accounting rules have resulted in a substantial increase in the number of non-operating and non-cash items included in the calculation of FFO. As a result, our management also uses MFFO as an indicator of our ongoing performance as well as our dividend sustainability. MFFO excludes from FFO: acquisition fees and expenses (to the extent that such fees and expenses have been recorded as operating expenses); adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above and below market intangible lease assets and liabilities; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; amortization of closing costs relating to debt investments; impairments of real estate-related investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; and gains or losses included in net income for the extinguishment or sale of debt or hedges. We compute MFFO in accordance with the definition of MFFO included in the practice guideline issued by the IPA in November 2010 as interpreted by management. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not compute MFFO in accordance with the current IPA definition or that interpret the current IPA definition differently than we do.
We believe that MFFO is helpful as a measure of ongoing operating performance because it excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO. Management believes that, by excluding acquisition costs (to the extent such costs have been recorded as operating expenses) as well as non-cash items such as straight line rental revenue, MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance indicators and analysis used by management, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, to evaluate the sustainability of our operating performance. MFFO provides comparability in evaluating the operating performance of our portfolio with other non-traded REITs which typically have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies. MFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by non-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.
FFO and MFFO are non-GAAP financial measures and do not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance because FFO and MFFO include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization and the other items described above. Accordingly, FFO and MFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our current and historical operating performance. In addition, FFO and MFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an indication of our liquidity. We believe FFO and MFFO, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are meaningful supplemental performance measures.
Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of adjustments for straight-line rent and the amortization of above- and below-market leases are the most significant adjustments for the periods presented. We have excluded these items based on the following economic considerations:
• | Adjustments for straight-line rent. These are adjustments to rental revenue as required by GAAP to recognize contractual lease payments on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease. We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the current economic impact of our in-place leases, while also providing investors with a useful supplemental metric that addresses core operating performance by removing rent we expect to receive in a future period or rent that was received in a prior period; and |
• | Amortization of above- and below-market leases. Similar to depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and lease related costs that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangible lease assets and liabilities diminishes predictably over time and requires that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with local market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economics of the real estate. |

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Our calculation of FFO, which we believe is consistent with the calculation of FFO as defined by NAREIT, is presented in the following table, along with our calculation of MFFO, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively (in thousands). No conclusions or comparisons should be made from the presentation of these periods.

FFO and MFFO may also be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO and MFFO, such as tenant improvements, building improvements and deferred leasing costs.
Organization and Offering Costs
Offering costs include all expenses incurred in connection with the private offering and the 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.
With respect to the public offering, our advisor and dealer manager will generally pay our organization and offering expenses incurred in the primary portion of our initial public offering (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid other than in connection with our online distribution channel) directly and we will reimburse our advisor and the dealer manager for the commercially reasonable organization and other offering expenses they incur on behalf of the Company in connection with the primary portion of our initial public offering subject to the following limitations.
No reimbursements made by is to our advisor or the dealer manager may cause total organization and offering expenses incurred by us (including selling commissions, dealer manager fees, the stockholder servicing fee and all other items of organization and offering expenses) to exceed 15% of the aggregate gross proceeds from our initial public offering as of the date of reimbursement.
We will reimburse our advisor, the dealer manager and their affiliates for up to 1.0% of gross proceeds raised in the primary portion of our initial public offering, provided that we will not be responsible for paying or reimbursing our advisor, the dealer manager, or their affiliates for any organization and other offering expenses related to shares sold in the primary portion of the initial public offering through our online distribution channel. Our advisor, the dealer manager, and their affiliates will be responsible for all organization and other offering expenses (which excludes selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid other than in connection with our online distribution channel) related to the primary portion of our initial public offering to the extent they exceed 1.0% of gross proceeds raised in the primary portion of our initial public offering (excluding gross proceeds raised in the primary portion of our initial public offering through our online distribution channel) and our advisor and its affiliates will be responsible for all organization and other offering expenses related to shares sold in the primary portion of our online distribution channel. We may pay organization and other offering expenses directly to the extent we believe we would ultimately be responsible for reimbursing our advisor for such costs pursuant to the terms above had our advisor paid the costs directly. We do not reimburse the dealer manager for wholesaling compensation expenses.
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 March 31, 2017, 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 March 31, 2017.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) |
Through March 31, 2017, 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 the initial public offering of approximately $4.5 million. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had recorded $48,732 of organization and other offering expenses related to the initial public offering, which amounts represent the Company's maximum liability for organization and other offering costs as of March 31, 2017 based on the limitations 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 provided by operations were as follows for the first quarter of 2017 (in thousands, except per share amounts):
Cash Distributions Declared (1) | Cash Distribution Declared Per Class A Share (1) (2) | Cash Distribution Declared Per Class T Share (1) (2) | Cash Distributions Paid (3) | Cash Flows provided by Operations | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Period | Cash | Reinvested | Total | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
First Quarter 2017 | $ | 1,115 | $ | 0.123 | $ | 0.099 | $ | 516 | $ | 588 | $ | 1,104 | $ | 83 |
_____________________
(1) Distributions for the periods from January 1, 2017 through March 31, 2017 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 and Class T shares were issued and outstanding each day that was a record date for distributions during the period presented.
(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 three months ended March 31, 2017, we paid aggregate distributions of $1.1 million, including $0.5 million of distributions paid in cash and $0.6 million of distributions reinvested through our distribution reinvestment plan. Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $0.2 million. FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $1.5 million and cash flow provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $0.1 million. See the reconciliation of FFO to net income (loss) above. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with $0.1 million of cash flow from operating activities and $1.0 million of debt financing.
From inception through March 31, 2017, we paid cumulative distributions of $4.6 million and our cumulative net loss during the same period was $5.1 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 three months ended March 31, 2017, 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.

PART I. | FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) |
Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) |
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 “Forward - Looking Statements,” “Market Outlook - Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets,” “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Results of Operations” herein and the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC. 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
Our consolidated interim financial statements and condensed notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities 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. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2017.
Subsequent Events
We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Status of the Offering
We commenced the public offering on April 28, 2016. As of May 5, 2017, we had sold 324,412 and 264,557 shares of Class A and Class T common stock in our public offering, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $5.9 million. Included in these amounts were 215,587 and 2,583 shares of Class A and Class T common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $2.1 million.
Cash Distributions Paid
On April 3, 2017, we paid cash distributions of $0.4 million and $7,415, which related to Class A and Class T cash distributions, respectively, declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from March 1, 2017 through March 31, 2017. On May 2, 2017, we paid cash distributions of $0.4 million and $7,809, which related to Class A and Class T cash distributions, respectively, declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from April 1, 2017 through April 30, 2017.
Stock Dividends Issued
On April 4, 2017, we issued 7,476 shares of Class A common stock and 187 shares of Class T common stock in connection with stock dividends declared for each share of common stock outstanding on March 31, 2017. On May 3, 2017, we issued 7,512 shares of Class A common stock and 216 shares of Class T common stock in connection with Class A and Class T stock dividends declared for each share of common stock outstanding on April 30, 2017.

PART I. | FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) |
Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) |
Distributions declared
On May 9, 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 June 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017, which we expect to pay in July 2017, and the period from July 1, 2017 through July 31, 2017, which we expect to pay in August 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 May 9, 2017, our board of directors declared stock dividends of 0.00083333 shares and 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 June 30, 2017 and July 31, 2017, respectively, which we expect to issue in July 2017 and August 2017, respectively. Stock dividends are issued in the same class of shares as the shares for which such stockholder received the stock dividend.
Second Amended and Restated Distribution Reinvestment Plan
On April 5, 2017, our board of directors adopted the Second Amended and Restated Distribution Reinvestment Plan (the “Amended DRP”). Pursuant to the Amended DRP, until we announce an estimated NAV per share, participants in the distribution reinvestment plan will acquire shares of our common stock at the “net investment amount” per share disclosed in the most recent prospectus for our public offering. This amount will be based on the “amount available for investment/net investment amount” percentage shown in the estimated use of proceeds table of the prospectus for our public offering. The net investment amount per share is the same for all shares. Purchases pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan will be in the same class of shares as the shares for which such stockholder received the distributions that are being reinvested. For both Class A and Class T shares, the distribution reinvestment plan purchase price will be equal to $9.40 per share. The change to the purchase price of shares in our distribution reinvestment plan offering took effect on April 28, 2017. There were no other changes in the Amended DRP.

PART I. | FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) |
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund the acquisition, expansion and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. We will also be exposed to the effects of changes in interest rates as a result of the acquisition and origination of mortgage and other loans. Our profitability and the value of our real estate investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We may manage interest rate risk by maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt such that variable rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level or we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, floors, and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest-earning assets or interest‑bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for the payment of distributions to holders of our common stock and that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments.
We expect to borrow funds and make investments at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect future earnings or cash flows on fixed rate debt or fixed rate real estate loans receivable unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of fixed rate instruments. At March 31, 2017, we did not have any fixed rate debt or fixed rate real estate loans receivable outstanding.
Conversely, movements in interest rates on variable rate debt and loans receivable would change future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of variable rate instruments. At March 31, 2017, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $82.8 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Based on interest rates as of March 31, 2017, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher during the 12 months ending March 31, 2018, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase by $0.8 million. As of March 31, 2017, one-month LIBOR was 0.98278% and if this index was reduced to 0% during the 12 months ending March 31, 2018, interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease by $0.8 million.
The weighted average interest rate of our variable rate debt at March 31, 2017 was 3.0%. The interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect at March 31, 2017 (consisting of the contractual interest rate), using interest rate indices as of March 31, 2017 where applicable.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have not evaluated any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter due to a transition period established by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies. We expect to issue management’s first assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2017 and to evaluate any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting in each quarterly and annual report thereafter.

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
None.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
Please see the risks discussed below and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
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 March 31, 2017 have been paid from cash flow from operating activities, 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 three months ended March 31, 2017, we paid aggregate distributions of $1.1 million, including $0.5 million of distributions paid in cash and $0.6 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 $0.1 million of cash flows from operating activities and $1.0 million of debt financing. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, our cash flow from operating activities to distributions paid coverage ratio was 8% and our funds from operations to distributions paid coverage ratio was 138%.

PART II. | OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED) |
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
a) | During the period covered by this Form 10-Q, no equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) were sold. |
b) | On April 28, 2016, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-207471) was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, covering a public offering of up to $1,500,000,000 in shares of common stock in our primary offering, consisting of two classes of shares: Class A shares and Class T shares. For those who purchase shares through commission-based independent broker dealers, we are offering Class A shares at $10.39 per share and Class T shares at $10.00 per share. For those who have alternative fee arrangements with their financial advisor, such as an annual fee paid by the investor based on the value of assets under management, we are offering Class A shares at $9.715 per share, reflecting the fact that the financial advisor is not paid a selling commission in connection with the sale. For those who purchase our shares online, we are offering Class A shares at $9.40 per share because the sales are net of selling commissions and our advisor pays all fees and expenses associated with the sale. The amount of selling commissions and dealer manager fees differs among our share classes and distribution channels, and there is an ongoing stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class T shares sold in the primary offering. Other than the online distribution channel, all distribution channels have volume discounts available. We are also offering of up to $800,000,000 in shares of common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan offerings: Class A shares and Class T shares at a price of $9.40 per share. We are offering to sell any combination of Class A and Class T shares in our primary offering and distribution reinvestment plan offering. We reserve the right to reallocate shares between the primary offering and our distribution reinvestment plan offering. |
We commenced our initial public offering on April 28, 2016 upon retaining KBS Capital Markets Group LLC, an affiliate of our advisor, as the dealer manager of our offering. We expect to sell the shares registered in our primary offering over a two-year period. Under rules promulgated by the SEC, in some instances we may extend the primary offering beyond that date. We may sell shares under the distribution reinvestment plan beyond the termination of the primary offering until we have sold all the shares under the plan. As of March 31, 2017, we had sold 264,912 and 223,428 shares of Class A and Class T common stock, respectively, in the Public Offering for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $4.9 million, including 174,895 and 1,309 shares of Class A and Class T common stock, respectively, under our distribution reinvestment plan for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $1.7 million.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (continued) |
As of March 31, 2017, we had incurred selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs in connection with our initial public offering in the amounts set forth below. We pay selling commissions and dealer manager fees to KBS Capital Markets Group, and KBS Capital Markets Group reallows all selling commissions and a portion of the dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers. In addition, we reimburse KBS Capital Advisors and KBS Capital Markets Group for certain offering expenses as described in our prospectus, as amended and supplemented.
Type of Expense Amount | Amount (in thousands) | Estimated/Actual | ||||
Selling commissions and dealer manager fees (1) | $ | 167 | Actual | |||
Organization and other offering costs (excluding selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) (2) | 49 | Actual | ||||
Total expenses for the issuer's account | $ | 216 | ||||
Percentage of offering proceeds used to pay or reimburse affiliates for the expenses above | 4.4% | Actual |
_____________________
(1) Except as described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of our prospectus, as amended and supplemented, 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) for the Class T shares sold in the primary portion of our initial public offering will be paid to our dealer manager and will accrue daily and be paid monthly in arrears for up to the fourth anniversary of the issuance of the Class T share. Our dealer manager will reallow all of the stockholder servicing fee paid to it. The stockholder servicing fee is an ongoing fee that is not paid at the time of purchase and is not intended to be a principal use of offering proceeds; it is therefore not included in the table above. As of March 31, 2017, we had incurred approximately $89,000 in stockholder servicing fees, which is the estimated amount of the stockholder servicing fee payable with respect to all Class T shares sold in the primary portion of our initial public offering as of March 31, 2017.
No selling commissions are paid with respect to purchases made through the online distribution channel. A dealer manager fee of 0.50% of the price per share of Class A common stock sold through our online distribution channel will be paid to our dealer manager, all of which will be reallowed to the participating broker-dealer. Our advisor and its affiliates will pay this fee directly to our dealer manager. As of March 31, 2017, our advisor and its affiliates had incurred no dealer manager fees related to our online distribution channel.
(2) KBS Capital Advisors and its affiliates will generally pay our organization and other offering expenses incurred in the primary portion of our initial public offering directly and we will reimburse KBS Capital Advisors and its affiliates for the commercially reasonable organization and other offering expenses they incur on our behalf in connection with the primary portion of our initial public offering subject to the following limitation.
We will reimburse our advisor, the dealer manager and their affiliates for up to 1.0% of gross proceeds raised in the primary portion of our initial public offering, provided that we will not be responsible for paying or reimbursing our advisor, the dealer manager, or their affiliates for any organization and other offering expenses related to shares sold in the primary portion of the initial public offering through our online distribution channel. Our advisor, the dealer manager, and their affiliates will be responsible for all organization and other offering expenses (which excludes selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid other than in connection with our online distribution channel) related to the primary portion of our initial public offering to the extent they exceed 1.0% of gross proceeds raised in the primary portion of our initial public offering (excluding gross proceeds raised in the primary portion of our initial public offering through our online distribution channel) and our advisor and its affiliates will be responsible for all organization and other offering expenses related to shares sold in the primary portion of our online distribution channel. The amount included above represents our maximum liability for organization and other offering costs based on the limits described. As of March 31, 2017, KBS Capital Advisors and its affiliates had incurred an additional $4.5 million in organization and other offering costs on our behalf in connection with our initial public offering.
We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our private offering and our ongoing initial public offering to acquire and manage 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 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; equity securities such as common stocks, preferred stocks and convertible preferred securities of other REITs and real estate companies.
As of March 31, 2017, we had used the net proceeds from our now terminated private offering and our initial public offering and debt financing to invest $139.7 million in three office properties, including $3.3 million of acquisition fees and closing costs.
c) | We have adopted a share redemption program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances. |
39
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (continued) |
Pursuant to the share redemption program, as amended to date, there are several limitations on our ability to redeem shares:
• | 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), we may not redeem shares until the stockholder has held his or her shares for one year. |
• | During any calendar year, we may redeem only the number of shares that we could purchase with 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 pursuant to the program upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. |
• | During any calendar year, we may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted‑average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. |
• | 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. |
Pursuant to the share redemption program, and provided the redeeming stockholder has held his or her shares for at least one year, we will initially redeem shares submitted as an ordinary 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 the estimated use of proceeds table in the prospectus, as supplemented, for our initial 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 we have established an estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share of our common stock, we will redeem shares submitted in connection with an ordinary redemption at 95.0% of our 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.
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 the Company. Stockholders wishing to continue to have a redemption request related to any transferred shares considered by the Company must resubmit their redemption request.
We expect to establish an estimated NAV per share no later than September 25, 2018. Once announced, we expect 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 we establish an estimated NAV per share, which we expect to be no later than September 25, 2018, the redemption price is the amount 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 the estimated use of proceeds table in the prospectus, as supplemented, for our initial 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 we have established an estimated NAV per share, the redemption price will be the estimated NAV per share as of the redemption date. |
We may amend, suspend or terminate the 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (continued) |
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, 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 March 31, 2017, there is $1.8 million available for eligible redemptions for the remainder of 2017.
