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. 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 September 30, 2017, the Company had invested in three office properties. The Company intends to invest in a diverse portfolio of core real estate properties. 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 Company commenced a private placement offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on June 11, 2015, pursuant to which the Company offered a maximum of $105,000,000 in shares of its Class A common stock for sale to certain accredited investors (the “Initial 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 Initial Private Offering on April 27, 2016 and processed subscriptions for the primary Initial 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 Initial Private Offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement dated June 11, 2015 (the “Initial Private Offering Dealer Manager Agreement”).
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 a 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 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 Company terminated the Primary Offering effective June 30, 2017.
The Company continues to offer shares of common stock pursuant to the DRP Offering. In some states, the Company will need to renew the registration statement annually to continue the DRP Offering. The Company may terminate the DRP Offering at any time.
On October 3, 2017, the Company launched a private placement offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of the Securities Act pursuant to which the Company is offering a maximum of $500,000,000 in shares of its Class A common stock to certain accredited investors (the “Second Private Offering”). Prior to the launch of the Second Private Offering, on September 29, 2017, the Company entered into a dealer manager agreement (the “NCPS Dealer Agreement”) with the Advisor and North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“NCPS”) in connection with the Second Private Offering.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)
KBS GROWTH & INCOME REIT, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
September 30, 2017
(unaudited)

The Company sold 8,548,972 shares of Class A common stock for gross offering proceeds of $76.8 million in the Initial 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 sold 122,721 and 270,415 shares of Class A and Class T common stock in the Primary Offering for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $3.9 million. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had sold 297,753 and 6,250 shares of Class A and Class T common stock in the DRP Offering for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $2.9 million.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company had redeemed 45,225 Class A shares for $0.4 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 and director 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(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
As described above, the Company intends to use substantially all of the net proceeds from its private and public offerings to invest in a diverse portfolio of core real estate properties and real estate-related assets.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 properties as of September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the purpose of determining the weighted average number of shares outstanding, stock dividends issued during the period presented 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 as follows:

_____________________
(1) Stock dividends have been declared on a monthly basis and the amount declared per share outstanding assumes the 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. On July 7, 2017, the Company's board of directors authorized a stock dividend to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 31, 2017, which the Company issued on September 5, 2017. The Company's board of directors does not expect to authorize any additional stock dividends.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, aggregate cash distributions declared per share of Class A common stock were $0.12448602 and $0.37243068, respectively, assuming the share was issued and outstanding each date that was a record date for distributions during the period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, aggregate cash distributions declared per share of Class T common stock were $0.12448602 and $0.32334150, respectively, assuming the share was issued and outstanding each date that was a record date for distributions during the period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, aggregate cash distributions declared per share of Class A common stock were $0.12602712 and $0.37397178, respectively, assuming the share was issued and outstanding each date that was a record date for distributions during the period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, aggregate cash distributions declared per share of Class T common stock were $0.07353172 and $0.07353172, respectively, assuming the share was issued and outstanding each day that was a record date during the period from July 26, 2016. Distributions for the period from January 1, 2016 through August 31, 2017 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. Distributions for the period from September 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017 were calculated at a rate of $0.00131849 per share per day. Each day during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the periods from January 1, 2016 through February 28, 2016 and March 1, 2016 through September 30, 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. The primary source of revenue for the Company is generated through leasing arrangements, which are excluded from this standard. The Company’s revenues that may be impacted by this standard primarily include other operating income and other ancillary income earned at its properties. In 2016, other operating income and other ancillary income were approximately 2% of consolidated revenue. The Company continues to evaluate the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company expects to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of the adoption.
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 of certain provisions of the standard 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);  and (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.

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 will not present 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.

(1) Annualized base rent represents annualized contractual base rental income as of September 30, 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.
Operating Leases
The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of September 30, 2017, the leases had remaining terms, excluding options to extend, of up to 8.8 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 4.6 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants, net of lease incentive amortization, of $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the cumulative deferred rent balance was $1.3 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

As of September 30, 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 September 30, 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.
As of September 30, 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:

(1) Contractual interest rate represents the interest rate in effect under the loan as of September 30, 2017. Effective interest rate is calculated as the actual interest rate in effect at September 30, 2017, using interest rate indices at September 30, 2017, where applicable.
(2) Represents the maturity date as of September 30, 2017; subject to certain conditions, the maturity dates of certain loans may be extended beyond the dates shown.
(3) On May 9, 2017, the Company paid off the Von Karman Tech Center Mortgage Loan and Von Karman Tech Center was added to the Term Loan as a collateral property. See footnote (5) below.
(4) As of September 30, 2017, $41.0 million of term debt was outstanding and $6.4 million remained available for future disbursements, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the loan documents.

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 a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, which carrying amounts generally do not approximate the fair values (in thousands):

The Company, together with KBS REIT I, 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. In June 2017, the Company renewed its participation in the program, and the program is effective through June 30, 2018. As KBS REIT I is implementing its plan of liquidation, at renewal in June 2017, KBS REIT I elected to cease participation in the program and obtain separate insurance coverage.
During the nine months ended September 30, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and any related amounts payable as of September 30, 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 $40,071 and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively and $33,121 and $70,399 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, and were the only type of employee costs reimbursed under the Advisory Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company does not reimburse for employee costs in connection with services for which the Advisor earned or 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.
Effective September 29, 2017, the Company eliminated its obligation to reimburse expenses incurred by the Advisor in connection with providing services pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, other than (i) the allocable portion of the costs of the internal audit department and (ii) promotional costs and expenses related to the leasing of properties.
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. Operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2017 did not exceed the charter-imposed limitation.
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. As of September 30, 2017, the total advanced funds due to the Advisor from the Company was approximately $1.3 million. 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 the Co-Manager for each of its properties. 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 Company 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.

Organization and Offering Costs
Offering costs include all expenses incurred in connection with the offerings of securities by the Company. 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 generally paid the organization and offering expenses of the Company incurred in the Primary Offering (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) directly.
The Company reimbursed the Advisor, the Dealer Manager and its affiliates up to 1% of gross proceeds raised in the Primary Offering for commercially reasonable organization and offering expenses. The Advisor, the Dealer Manager and their affiliates were responsible for all organization and other offering expenses (which excludes selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) paid related to the Primary Offering to the extent they exceeded 1% of gross proceeds raised in the Primary Offering. The Company did not reimburse the Dealer Manager for wholesaling compensation expenses.
During the Initial Private Offering, 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.
The Advisor has agreed to pay directly all offering expenses related to the Second Private Offering without reimbursement by the Company.
Through September 30, 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 $4.2 million. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had recorded $39,358 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 September 30, 2017 based on the limitations described above. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had recorded $1.5 million of organization and other offering costs related to the Initial Private Offering. Organization costs were expensed as incurred and offering costs are deferred and charged to stockholders’ equity as such amounts were reimbursed to the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates from the gross proceeds of the applicable offering.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Economic Dependency
The Company depends on the Advisor for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, 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 the Advisor is unable to provide such 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.
Cash Distributions Paid
On October 2, 2017, the Company paid cash distributions of $0.4 million and $11,013, which related to Class A and Class T cash distributions, respectively, declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from September 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017. On November 1, 2017, the Company paid cash distributions of $0.4 million and $11,421, which related to Class A and Class T cash distributions, respectively, declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from October 1, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
Distributions Authorized
On October 10, 2017, the Company’s board of directors authorized cash distributions on the outstanding shares of all classes of the Company’s common stock based on daily record dates for the period from November 1, 2017 through November 30, 2017, which the Company expects to pay in December 2017. On November 8, 2017, the Company’s board of directors authorized cash distributions on the outstanding shares of all classes of the Company’s common stock based on daily record dates for the period from December 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, which the Company expects to pay in January 2018. 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 $0.00131849 per share per day.

Real Estate Acquisition and Financing Subsequent to September 30, 2017
Acquisition and Related Financing of the Institute Property
On November 9, 2017, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, acquired a seven-story office building containing 157,166 rentable square feet located on approximately 0.5 acres of land and a parking lot containing approximately 8,038 square feet on approximately 0.18 acres of land in Chicago, Illinois (together, the “Institute Property”). The seller is not affiliated with the Company or the Advisor.
The total purchase price of the Institute Property was $43.5 million plus closing costs. The Company funded the purchase of the Institute Property with proceeds from the Amended and Restated Term Loan (discussed below) and proceeds from its now-terminated Initial Private Offering and Primary Offering.
On November 9, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of the Institute Property, the Company amended the Term Loan, with JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A., to increase the loan amount to $72.8 million (consisting of $48.5 million of term commitment and $24.3 million of revolving commitment) and to add the Institute Property as collateral to the Term Loan (the “Amended and Restated Term Loan”). The Amended and Restated Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest per annum equal to 2.0% over one-month LIBOR. The initial maturity date is November 9, 2020, with two one-year extension options, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan agreement. Monthly payments are interest only with the entire unpaid principal balance and all outstanding interest and fees due at maturity. Also on November 9, 2017, the Company drew $40.3 million under the Amended and Restated Term Loan (consisting of $16.0 million of term commitment and $24.3 million of revolving commitment) which, when combined with $32.5 million already outstanding under the Term Loan, was the maximum amount available to be drawn. The Company has the right to prepay all or a portion of the Term Loan at any time, subject to certain fees and conditions contained in the loan documents.

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 directors and other key real estate and debt finance professionals are also officers, affiliated directors, 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 action or inaction that is not in the best interests of our stockholders.
•
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 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 management of our investments. These fees are based on the cost of the investment, and not based on the quality of the investment or services rendered to us. We may also pay significant fees during our listing/liquidation stage. These fees decrease the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
•
If we are unable to raise substantial funds during our offering stage, which may include any subsequent offerings of securities other than under our distribution reinvestment plan, 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. As of September 30, 2017, some of our distributions 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.

24
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. 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. 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; the acquisition of real estate investments; 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. 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 pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), 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 were being offered pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We ceased offering shares in the primary portion of our initial private offering on April 27, 2016 and processed subscriptions for the primary portion of the initial 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.
We sold 8,548,972 shares of our Class A common stock for gross offering proceeds of $76.8 million in our initial 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.

25
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

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 also registered a maximum of $800,000,000 in both classes of shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. The SEC declared our registration statement effective on April 28, 2016 and we retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC to serve as the dealer manager of the initial public offering. We terminated our primary initial public offering effective June 30, 2017. We are continuing to offer shares of common stock pursuant to our publicly registered distribution reinvestment plan offering.
We sold 122,721 and 270,415 shares of Class A and Class T common stock in the initial public offering, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $3.9 million. As of September 30, 2017, we had sold 297,753 and 6,250 shares of Class A and Class T common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $2.9 million.
On October 3, 2017, we launched a second private placement offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of the Securities Act pursuant to which we are offering a maximum of $500,000,000 in shares of our Class A common stock to certain accredited investors. Prior to the launch of the second private placement offering, on September 29, 2017, we entered a dealer manager agreement (the “NCPS Dealer Agreement”) with KBS Capital Advisors and North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“NCPS”) in connection with the second private placement offering.
As of September 30, 2017, we had redeemed 45,225 Class A shares for $0.4 million.
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our offerings to invest in a diverse portfolio of core real estate properties. 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. As of September 30, 2017, we owned three office properties.
KBS Capital Advisors makes 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.
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, with improving employment data in most of the European Union countries. The U.K. and China remain areas of concern. The U.K. is working through its BREXIT process, whereas the Chinese economy has shown signs of stabilization, but is still struggling with uncertainty in its banking system in relation to bad loans. 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 (“QE”) in Japan and Europe is slowing, but the liquidity generated from these programs continues to impact the global capital markets.

26
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

At a duration of 100 months (as of the end of third quarter 2017), the current business cycle, which commenced in June 2009, is the third longest in U.S. history, behind only the periods between 1961 - 1969 and 1991 - 2001. In June 2017, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) increased interest rates for the fourth time in three years. Expectations are that the Fed will increase rates again in December, citing strong economic growth despite a lack of meaningful inflation. The Fed is still attempting to normalize the level of interest rates in the United States. U.S. interest rates are relatively high when compared to Europe, where the European Central Bank is still engaging in QE. Global inflation is starting to show signs of life as U.S. inflation has grown to approximately 1.9% versus 2.9% in the U.K. and 1.5% in the Eurozone. Real gross domestic product (“GDP”) in the United States has had two consecutive quarters of 3.0% or greater growth, and the U.S. unemployment rate is currently a relatively low 4.2%. Personal income growth has started to pick up and unemployment statistics indicate that labor force conditions are finally showing real improvements. Political uncertainty surrounding the current administration’s budget, tax reform plans, attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the future of the Chair of the FED, and the continued weakness in retailers, all may adversely impact business and consumer confidence.
In 2017 the U.S. commercial real estate market has seen a decline in transaction volume and a slowing of price increases. In the aggregate, property level operating income growth has begun to slow, while lending standards have tightened. The United States continues to benefit from inflows of foreign capital, albeit at a slowing rate. The capital flows from China have dropped as the Chinese government has successfully imposed constraints on capital leaving the country. The industrial property sector is a standout for investors, as internet sales volumes continue to increase the demand for warehouses and logistics-related assets. There are other pockets of growth in the commercial real estate sector, like suburban markets in southern and western tier 2 markets. Traditional sources of capital are favoring a “risk-off” approach, as capital flows have shifted equity towards debt, or secured, investing. 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 tightened. This has resulted in lower loan-to-value and higher debt coverage ratios. CMBS originations rebounded in the third quarter as banks and insurance companies tightened loan terms. CMBS volumes are on pace to beat 2016 issuance volumes. This is a positive for the U.S. commercial real estate markets as it illustrates the virtues of having a diversified set of funding sources.
Impact on Our Real Estate Investments
The volatility in the global financial markets and political environment 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, albeit at a slower rate, concerns regarding the political, regulatory and economic environments have 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 raised interest rates four times between the period December 2015 and June 2017. The real estate and finance markets anticipate further rate increases if the economy remains strong, but a flattening U.S. treasury yield curve is signaling a weakening in economic conditions, and highlights the degree of uncertainty surrounding the near-term U.S. economic prospects. Management continuously reviews 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 increase in the cost of financing due to higher interest rates, we may have difficulty refinancing some of our debt obligations prior to or at maturity or we may not be able to refinance these obligations at terms as favorable as the terms of our existing indebtedness. Short-term interest rates in the United States have increased, and are expected to increase again by the end of the year. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of our investments.

27
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
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 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 September 30, 2017, we had raised approximately $83.1 million in gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in our initial private offering, separate private transactions and initial public offering. We terminated our primary initial public offering effective June 30, 2017 and launched a private offering solely to accredited investors pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of the Securities Act on October 3, 2017. We continue to offer shares of common stock under our publicly registered distribution reinvestment plan.
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 September 30, 2017, we owned three office properties that collectively were 95% occupied. We acquired these investments with the proceeds from the sale of our common stock in the initial private offering and debt financing, including a bridge loan from our advisor that we have since repaid. Operating cash needs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were met through cash flow generated by our real estate investments and with proceeds from our initial private offering and initial public 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 45% 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. 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 September 30, 2017, our aggregate borrowings were approximately 54% of our net assets before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves.

28
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 have used a portion of our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor, the dealer manager of our initial private offering and initial public offering 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.
We will make payments to our advisor in connection with the management of our assets and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us. Through August 8, 2017, the asset management fee payable to our advisor was 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. As of August 9, 2017, the asset management fee will be a monthly fee payable to our advisor in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of the cost of our investments including the portion of the investment that is debt financed. 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. Our advisor agreed to waive asset management fees for the second and third quarters of 2017.
We also pay fees to KBS Management Group, LLC (the “Co-Manager”), an affiliate of our advisor, pursuant to property management agreements with the Co-Manager, for certain property management services at our properties.
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. 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 expenses for the four fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2017 did not exceed the charter-imposed limitation.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
As of September 30, 2017, we owned three office properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $2.9 million. We expect that our cash flows from operating activities will increase in future periods to the extent we make additional 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 $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and consisted of cash for improvements to real estate and an escrow deposit for a future real estate purchase.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in financing activities was $9.1 million and consisted primarily of the following:
•
$9.4 million of net cash used in debt financing as a result of principal payments on notes payable of $11.3 million and payments of deferred financing costs of $0.1 million, partially offset by proceeds from notes payable of $2.0 million;
•
$2.3 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 $0.2 million; and
•
$1.6 million of net cash distributions, after giving effect to distributions reinvested by stockholders of $1.8 million.

Results of Operations
Overview
We conducted a primary initial public offering from April 28, 2016 through June 30, 2017 and are continuing to offer shares in our publicly registered distribution reinvestment plan offering. On October 3, 2017 we launched a private placement offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of the Securities Act. Prior to our initial public offering, we conducted a private placement offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act, that commenced on June 11, 2015. Our results of operations as of September 30, 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 offerings. As of September 30, 2016, we owned two office properties. We acquired one office property after September 30, 2016 and owned three office properties as of September 30, 2017. The results of operations presented for the three months ended September 30, 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 to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Rental income and tenant reimbursements increased from $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio. We expect rental income and tenant reimbursements to increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments.
Operating, maintenance, and management costs increased from $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as a result of (a) the growth in our real estate portfolio (b) increase in utility and repairs and maintenance costs for properties held throughout both periods and (c) increase in bad debt expense related to a tenant default at a property held throughout both periods. We expect operating, maintenance, and management expenses to increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments.
Real estate taxes and insurance increased from $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 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 to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments.
Asset management fees to affiliate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.2 million. Asset management fees to our affiliate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.3 million, all of which were waived by our advisor. We amended our advisory agreement on August 9, 2017 to change how asset management fees are calculated. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods as a result of this change and also to the extent we make additional real estate investments.
Depreciation and amortization increased from $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio and the acceleration of amortization of intangible assets related to a tenant default at a property held throughout both periods. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments.
Interest expense increased from $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred financing costs of $46,064 and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 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 future periods as a result of anticipated borrowings to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments.

(1) Represents the dollar amount increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 related to real estate investments acquired on or after January 1, 2016.
(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 with respect to the real estate investment owned by us throughout both periods presented.
Rental income and tenant reimbursements increased from $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio. We expect rental income and tenant reimbursements to increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments.
Operating, maintenance, and management costs increased from $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 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 to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments.
Real estate taxes and insurance increased from $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 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 to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments.
Asset management fees to affiliate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.2 million for this period. Asset management fees to affiliate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.7 million, of which $0.5 million was waived by our advisor. We amended our advisory agreement on August 9, 2017 to change how asset management fees are calculated. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods as a result of this change and also to the extent we make additional real estate investments.
Real estate acquisition fees and expenses to affiliate and non-affiliates were $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which related to the acquisition of one real estate property for $68.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we did not acquire any real estate properties. We amended our advisory agreement August 9, 2017 to eliminate the payment of an acquisition fee to our advisor and do not expect to incur real estate acquisition fees to affiliates going forward. In addition, we adopted ASU No. 2017-01 for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2017.  As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2017-01, our acquisitions of real estate 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.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General and administrative expenses increased from $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, due to higher portfolio legal fees, board of director fees, external auditor fees and internal audit compensation. We expect general and administrative costs to increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments.
Depreciation and amortization increased from $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments.
Interest expense increased from $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred financing costs of $77,034 and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 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 in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a loss from extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs as a result of the pay-off of the Von Karman Tech Center Mortgage Loan on May 9, 2017.
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.
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.

33
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

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, the amortization of above- and below-market leases, loss from extinguishment of debt and acquisition fees and expenses 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;
•
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;
•
Loss from extinguishment of debt.  A loss from extinguishment of debt represents the difference between the carrying value of any consideration transferred to the lender in return for the extinguishment of a debt and the net carrying value of the debt at the time of settlement.  We have excluded the loss from extinguishment of debt in our calculation of MFFO because these losses do not impact the current operating performance of our investments and do not provide an indication of future operating performance; and
•
Acquisition fees and expenses. Prior to our early adoption of ASU No. 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, acquisition fees and expenses related to the acquisition of real estate were expensed. Although these amounts reduce net income, we exclude them from MFFO to more appropriately present the ongoing operating performance of our real estate investments on a comparative basis. Additionally, acquisition fees and expenses have been funded from the proceeds from our private and public offerings, net proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan, and from debt financings, and not from our operations. We believe this exclusion is useful to investors as it allows investors to more accurately evaluate the sustainability of our operating performance.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively (in thousands).

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 our offerings of securities. 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 our public offering, our advisor and dealer manager generally paid 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) directly.
We reimbursed our advisor, the dealer manager and their affiliates up to 1.0% of gross primary offering proceeds raised in our initial public offering for commercially reasonable organization and offering expenses. Our advisor, the dealer manager, and their affiliates were responsible for all organization and other offering expenses (which excludes selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) related to the primary portion of our initial public offering to the extent they exceeded 1.0% of gross proceeds raised in the primary portion of our initial public offering. We did not reimburse the dealer manager for wholesaling compensation expenses.
During our initial private offering, 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 our behalf. We recorded $1.5 million of offering costs (other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees) related to our initial private offering, all of which have been reimbursed to our advisor or its affiliates.
Our advisor has agreed to pay all offering expenses related to our recently launched second private placement offering directly on our behalf without reimbursement by us.
Through September 30, 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 $4.2 million. As of September 30, 2017, we had recorded $39,358 of organization and other offering expenses related to the initial public offering, which amounts represent our maximum liability for organization and other offering costs as of the termination of our primary initial public offering based on the limitation described above.
As of September 30, 2017, KBS Capital Advisors had incurred $0.9 million in offering expenses on our behalf related to the second private placement offering. The advisor has agreed to pay these expenses on our behalf without reimbursement by us.

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 flows from operations, in which case distributions may be paid in whole or in part from debt financing, including advances from our advisor, if necessary.

(1) Distributions for the periods from January 1, 2017 through August 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. Distributions for the period from September 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017 were based on daily record dates and were calculated based on stockholders of record each day during this period at a rate of $0.00131849 per day.
(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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, we paid aggregate distributions of $3.4 million, including $1.6 million of distributions paid in cash and $1.8 million of distributions reinvested through our distribution reinvestment plan. Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $1.4 million. FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $4.2 million and cash flows from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $2.9 million. See the reconciliation of FFO to net loss above. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with $2.4 million of cash flows from operations and $1.0 million of debt financing.
From inception through September 30, 2017, we paid cumulative distributions of $7.0 million and our cumulative net loss during the same period was $6.3 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, through August 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. Cash distributions 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 cash distributions to stockholders. We have not established a minimum distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make distributions to our stockholders.

36
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; 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.
Cash Distributions Paid
On October 2, 2017, we paid cash distributions of $0.4 million and $11,013, which related to Class A and Class T cash distributions, respectively, declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from September 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017. On November 1, 2017, we paid cash distributions of $0.4 million and $11,421, which related to Class A and Class T cash distributions, respectively, declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from October 1, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
Distributions Authorized
On October 10, 2017, our board of directors authorized cash distributions on the outstanding shares of all classes of our common stock based on daily record dates for the period from November 1, 2017 through November 30, 2017, which we expect to pay in December 2017. On November 8, 2017, our board of directors authorized cash distributions on the outstanding shares of all classes of our common stock based on daily record dates for the period from December 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, which we expect to pay in January 2018. 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 $0.00131849 per share per day.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Real Estate Acquisition and Financing Subsequent to September 30, 2017
Acquisition and Related Financing of the Institute Property
On November 9, 2017, we, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, acquired a seven-story office building containing 157,166 rentable square feet located on approximately 0.5 acres of land and a parking lot containing approximately 8,038 square feet on approximately 0.18 acres of land in Chicago, Illinois (together, the “Institute Property”). The seller is not affiliated with us or our advisor.
The total purchase price of the Institute Property was $43.5 million plus closing costs. We funded the purchase of the Institute Property with proceeds from the Amended and Restated Term Loan (discussed below) and proceeds from our now-terminated initial private offering and initial public offering.
On November 9, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of the Institute Property, we amended the Term Loan, with JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A., to increase the loan amount to $72.8 million (consisting of $48.5 million of term commitment and $24.3 million of revolving commitment) and to add the Institute Property as collateral to the Term Loan (the “Amended and Restated Term Loan”). The Amended and Restated Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest per annum equal to 2.0% over one-month LIBOR. The initial maturity date is November 9, 2020, with two one-year extension options, subject to terms and conditions contained in the loan agreement. Monthly payments are interest only with the entire unpaid principal balance and all outstanding interest and fees due at maturity. Also on November 9, 2017, we drew $40.3 million under the Amended and Restated Term Loan (consisting of $16.0 million of term commitment and $24.3 million of revolving commitment) which, when combined with $32.5 million already outstanding under the Term Loan, was the maximum amount available to be drawn. We have the right to prepay all or a portion of the Term Loan at any time, subject to certain fees and conditions contained in the loan documents.

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. 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 our stockholders 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 unless such debt mature or is otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of fixed rate instruments. At September 30, 2017, we did not have any fixed rate debt outstanding.
Conversely, movements in interest rates on variable rate debt would change future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of the debt. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of variable rate instruments. At September 30, 2017, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $73.5 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Based on interest rates as of September 30, 2017, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher or lower during the 12 months ending September 30, 2018, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase or decrease by $0.7 million.
The weighted average interest rate of our variable rate debt at September 30, 2017 was 3.5%.  The interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect at September 30, 2017 (consisting of the contractual interest rate), using interest rate indices as of September 30, 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 flows 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 September 30, 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. 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, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, we paid aggregate distributions of $3.4 million, including $1.6 million of distributions paid in cash and $1.8 million of distributions reinvested through our distribution reinvestment plan. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with $2.4 million of cash flows from operations and $1.0 million of debt financing. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our cash flows from operations to distributions paid coverage ratio was 85% and our funds from operations to distributions paid coverage ratio was 121%.

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 were sold.
b)
On April 28, 2016, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-207471), covering a public offering of up to $1,500,000,000 in shares of common stock in our primary offering and up to $800,000,000 in shares of common stock in our distribution reinvestment plan offering was declared effective under the Securities Act. Our shares of common stock consist of two classes of shares: Class A shares and Class T shares. 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. From commencement of the primary initial public offering through its termination on June 30, 2017, we offered Class A shares at $10.39 per share and Class T shares at $10.00 per share, with discounts available to certain categories of investors. Through August 9, 2017, we offered shares under our distribution reinvestment plan at $9.40 per share.
We continue to offer shares of common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $8.75 per share which is our estimated net asset value per share as established by our board of directors on August 9, 2017. In some states, we will need to renew the registration statement annually to continue our distribution reinvestment plan offering. We may terminate our distribution reinvestment plan offering at any time.
We sold 122,721 and 270,415 shares of Class A and Class T common stock in our primary initial public offering for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $3.9 million. Through September 30, 2017, we had sold 297,753 and 6,250 shares of Class A and Class T common stock in our distribution reinvestment plan offering for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $2.9 million.
As of September 30, 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 paid selling commissions and dealer manager fees to KBS Capital Markets Group, and KBS Capital Markets Group reallowed all selling commissions and a portion of the dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers. In addition, we reimbursed KBS Capital Advisors and KBS Capital Markets Group for certain organization and other offering expenses.

_____________________
(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 our primary initial public offering was paid to our dealer manager. This fee for our initial public offering accrued daily and was paid monthly in arrears through the termination of our primary initial public offering on June 30, 2017.  Our dealer manager reallowed all of the stockholder servicing fee paid to it. The stockholder servicing fee was an ongoing fee that was not paid at the time of purchase and was not intended to be a principal use of offering proceeds; it is therefore excluded from the table above. We paid approximately $12,000 in stockholder servicing fees related to all Class T shares sold in the primary portion of our initial public offering.
(2) KBS Capital Advisors and its affiliates generally paid our organization and other offering expenses incurred in the primary portion of our initial public offering directly and we reimbursed KBS Capital Advisors and its affiliates for the commercially reasonable organization and other offering expenses they incurred on our behalf in connection with the primary portion of our initial public offering subject to the following limitation.
We reimbursed 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. Our advisor, the dealer manager, and their affiliates are responsible for all organization and other offering expenses (which excludes selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) 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. The amount included above represents our maximum liability for organization and other offering costs based on the limits described. As of September 30, 2017, KBS Capital Advisors and its affiliates had incurred an additional $4.2 million in organization and other offering costs on our behalf in connection with our initial public offering.

41
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (continued)

From the commencement of our initial public offering through the June 30, 2017 primary offering termination, the net offering proceeds to us, after deducting the total expenses incurred as described above, were approximately $6.1 million, including net offering proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan of $2.4 million.
We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our offering stage to acquire and manage a diverse portfolio of core real estate properties. We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan 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 our real estate properties; reserves required by any financings of our real estate investments; the acquisition of real estate investments; and the repayment of debt.
As of September 30, 2017, except for a working capital reserve, we had used substantially all the net proceeds from our now-terminated private and primary initial public offering and debt financing to invest $139.7 million in three office properties, including $3.3 million of acquisition fees and expenses and closing costs.
c)
We have adopted a share redemption program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances.
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.
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.
On August 9, 2017 our board of directors approved an estimated NAV per share of our common stock of $8.75 based on the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities, or NAV, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of June 30, 2017. For a full description of the methodologies used to value our assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of our estimated NAV per share as of June 30, 2017, see the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 10, 2017, and incorporated herein by reference. We expect to update the estimated NAV annually in December.


42
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (continued)

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; and
•
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.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we fulfilled all redemption requests eligible for redemption under our share redemption program and received in good order. We funded redemptions under our share redemption program with the net proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan, and we redeemed shares pursuant to our share redemption program as follows:

(1) The prices at which we redeem shares under the program are as set forth above.
(2) We limit the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the program as described above. One of these limitations is that during each calendar year, our share redemption program limits the number of shares we may redeem to those that we could purchase with the amount of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year. However, we may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we redeemed $0.4 million of shares of common stock and $1.4 million was available for redemptions of shares eligible for redemption for the remainder of 2017.
