1.
ORGANIZATION
KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on July 12, 2007 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. The Company conducts its business primarily through KBS Limited Partnership II, a Delaware limited partnership formed on August 23, 2007 (the “Operating Partnership”), and its subsidiaries. The Company is the sole general partner of and directly owns a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, KBS REIT Holdings II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed on August 23, 2007 (“KBS REIT Holdings II”), owns the remaining 99.9% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and is its sole limited partner.
The Company invested in a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. As of June 30, 2018, the Company owned eight office properties and an office campus consisting of five office buildings.
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is managed by KBS Capital Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an advisory agreement the Company renewed with the Advisor on May 21, 2018 (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisory Agreement may be renewed for an unlimited number of one-year periods upon the mutual consent of the Advisor and the Company. Either party may terminate the Advisory Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice. The Advisor owns 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Upon commencing its initial public offering (the “Offering”), the Company retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Advisor, to serve as the dealer manager of the Offering. The Company ceased offering shares of common stock in its primary offering on December 31, 2010 and terminated its primary offering on March 22, 2011. The Company terminated its dividend reinvestment plan effective May 29, 2014.
The Company sold 182,681,633 shares of common stock in its primary offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.8 billion. The Company sold 30,903,504 shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $298.2 million. Also as of June 30, 2018, the Company had redeemed 26,442,863 shares sold in the Offering for $248.3 million.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, except for the Company’s adoption of the revenue recognition standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) effective on January 1, 2018. 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, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “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 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 six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, KBS REIT Holdings II, 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 condensed notes thereto in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and condensed notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
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 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Distributions declared per common share were $0.061 and $0.121 in the aggregate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $0.068 and $0.136 in the aggregate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Distributions declared per common share assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day that was a record date for distributions and were based on a monthly record date for each month during the periods commencing January 2018 through June 2018 and January 2017 through June 2017.
Segments
The Company invested in core real estate properties and real estate-related investments with the goal of acquiring a portfolio of income-producing investments. The Company’s real estate properties exhibit similar long-term financial performance and have similar economic characteristics to each other. As of June 30, 2018, the Company aggregated its investments in real estate properties into one reportable business segment.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company sold three office buildings that were part of an eight-building office campus. As a result, certain assets and liabilities were reclassified to held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU No. 2014-09”), using the modified retrospective approach, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of the Company’s adoption.  Under the modified retrospective approach, an entity may also elect to apply this standard to either (i) all contracts as of January 1, 2018 or (ii) only to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018.  A completed contract is a contract for which all (or substantially all) of the revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP that was in effect before the date of initial application. The Company elected to apply this standard only to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018.
Based on the Company’s evaluation of contracts within the scope of ASU No. 2014-09, revenue that is impacted by ASU No. 2014-09 includes revenue generated by sales of real estate, other operating income and tenant reimbursements for substantial services earned at the Company’s properties. The recognition of such revenue will occur when the services are provided and the performance obligations are satisfied. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, tenant reimbursements for substantial services accounted for under ASU No. 2014-09 were $0.4 million and $0.8 million and were included in tenant reimbursements on the accompanying statements of operations.

Sales of Real Estate
Prior to January 1, 2018, gains on real estate sold were recognized using the full accrual method at closing when collectibility of the sales price was reasonably assured, the Company was not obligated to perform additional activities that may be considered significant, the initial investment from the buyer was sufficient and other profit recognition criteria had been satisfied. Gain on sales of real estate may have been deferred in whole or in part until the requirements for gain recognition had been met.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASC 610-20”), which applies to sales or transfers to noncustomers of nonfinancial assets or in substance nonfinancial assets that do not meet the definition of a business.  Generally, the Company’s sales of real estate would be considered a sale of a nonfinancial asset as defined by ASC 610-20.
ASC 610-20 refers to the revenue recognition principles under ASU No. 2014-09.  Under ASC 610-20, if the Company determines it does not have a controlling financial interest in the entity that holds the asset and the arrangement meets the criteria to be accounted for as a contract, the Company would derecognize the asset and recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the real estate when control of the underlying asset transfers to the buyer.
Square Footage, Occupancy and Other Measures
 Square footage, occupancy, number of tenants and other similar measures, including annualized base rent and annualized base rent per square foot, used to describe real estate investments included in these condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited and outside the scope of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s review of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update
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. ASU No. 2016-02 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 lease accounting standard on its consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, the Company expects to adopt the package of practical expedients for all leases that commenced before the effective date of January 1, 2019. Accordingly, the Company will 1) not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, 2) not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing lease, and 3) not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company does not expect to elect the practical expedient related to using hindsight to reevaluate the lease term. In addition, the Company expects to adopt the practical expedient for land easements to not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current lease accounting standards of Topic 840 are or contain a lease under Topic 842.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements (“ASU No. 2018-11”), which provides lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and, instead to account for those components as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue recognition standard (Topic 606) and if certain conditions are met. Upon adoption of the lease accounting standard under Topic 842, the Company expects to adopt this practical expedient, specifically related to its tenant reimbursements which would otherwise be accounted for under the new revenue recognition standard. The Company believes the two conditions have been met for tenant reimbursements as 1) the timing and pattern of transfer of the nonlease components and associated lease components are the same and 2) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease. In addition, ASU No. 2018-11 provides an additional optional transition method to allow entities to apply the new lease accounting standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. An entity’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new lease accounting standard will continue to be reported under the current lease accounting standards of Topic 840. The Company expects to adopt this transition method upon adoption of the lease accounting standard of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019.
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.

Operating Leases
The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of June 30, 2018, the leases had remaining terms, excluding options to extend, of up to 13.3 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 4.9 years. Some of the leases have provisions to extend the term of the leases, options for early termination for all or part of the leased premises after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, 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 $2.7 million and $2.6 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants, net of lease incentive amortization, of $(2.0) million and $1.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the cumulative deferred rent balance was $55.6 million and $57.6 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included $8.7 million and $9.5 million of unamortized lease incentives as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
As of June 30, 2018, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):

(1) Annualized base rent represents annualized contractual base rental income as of June 30, 2018, 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.
(2) Represents the expiration date of the lease as of June 30, 2018 and does not take into account any tenant renewal options. Pursuant to a lease amendment that the Company entered into with Union Bank on December 31, 2017, Union Bank surrendered 15,829 rentable square feet of its total rentable square footage on March 31, 2018 and 31,320 rentable square feet of its total rentable square footage on June 30, 2018. In addition, Union Bank also surrendered 321 parking area passes on March 31, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company received $11.4 million of lease termination fees from Union Bank, of which $1.6 million was recognized as rental income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and $9.8 million was deferred as of June 30, 2018 and included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
(3) Union Bank has two options to extend the term of this lease for three, four, five, six or seven years per option term, provided that the combined renewal option terms do not exceed 10 years. If Union Bank elects to exercise its extension options, it must extend the lease on (i) the entire office premises or (ii) no less than 200,000 rentable square feet consisting of full floors only plus either all or none of both the retail and vault space.
No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent.
Geographic Concentration Risk
As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s net investments in real estate in California and New Jersey represented 25.1% and 24.4% of the Company’s total assets, respectively.  As a result, the geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the California and New Jersey real estate markets.  Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders.

(1) Contractual interest rate represents the interest rate in effect under the loan as of June 30, 2018. Effective interest rate is calculated as the actual interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2018, using interest rate indices as of June 30, 2018, where applicable.
(2) Represents the initial maturity date or the maturity date as extended as of June 30, 2018; subject to certain conditions, the maturity dates of certain loans may be extended beyond the maturity date shown.
(3) On March 29, 2018, the Company paid off the outstanding balances under these loans with proceeds from the Portfolio Loan Facility. See footnote (5) below.
(4) In connection with the sales of three of the eight buildings at Corporate Technology Centre during the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company made a partial paydown on the Corporate Technology Centre Mortgage Loan.
(5) On March 29, 2018, the Company, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a loan facility (the “Portfolio Loan Facility”) for an amount of up to $500.0 million, of which $375.0 million is term debt and $125.0 million is revolving debt. The Portfolio Loan Facility was used to pay off the Amended and Restated Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility, the Union Bank Plaza Mortgage Loan, Portfolio Mortgage Loan #1, Portfolio Mortgage Loan #3 and the 300-600 Campus Drive Revolving Loan. The Portfolio Loan Facility is secured by the 100 & 200 Campus Drive Buildings, the 300-600 Campus Drive Buildings, Willow Oaks Corporate Center, Pierre Laclede Center, Union Bank Plaza, Emerald View at Vista Center, Granite Tower and Fountainhead Plaza. As of June 30, 2018, $375.0 million of term debt of the Portfolio Loan Facility was outstanding and $125.0 million of revolving debt remained available for future disbursements, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the loan documents.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred $4.3 million and $9.3 million of interest expense, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred $4.3 million and $8.4 million of interest expense, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of interest expense were payable. Included in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $0.3 million and $0.6 million of amortization of deferred financing costs, respectively. Also included in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $0.3 million of debt refinancing costs. Included in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were $0.3 million and $0.6 million of amortization of deferred financing costs, respectively.

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 is defined as 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 assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rent and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities: These balances approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
Real estate loan receivable: The Company’s real estate loan receivable is presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at its amortized cost net of recorded loan loss reserves (if applicable) and not at fair value. The fair value of the real estate loan receivable was estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected cash flows for the loan, underlying collateral value (for collateral-dependent loans) and estimated yield requirements of institutional investors for loans with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.

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 real estate loan receivable and notes payable as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, which carrying amounts do not generally approximate the fair values (in thousands):

Disclosure of the fair values of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company as of the period end and requires a significant amount of judgment. Low levels of transaction volume for certain financial instruments have made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of value at a future date could be materially different.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor. This agreement entitles the Advisor to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the management of the Company’s investments, among other services, and the disposition of investments, as well as reimbursement of certain costs incurred by the Advisor in providing services to the Company. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to certain other fees, including an incentive fee upon achieving certain performance goals, as detailed in the Advisory Agreement. The Company has also entered into a fee reimbursement agreement with the Dealer Manager pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the Dealer Manager for certain fees and expenses it incurs for administering the Company’s participation in the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation Alternative Investment Product Platform with respect to certain accounts of the Company’s investors serviced through the platform. The Advisor and Dealer Manager also serve or served as the advisor and dealer manager, respectively, for KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“KBS REIT I”), KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc. (“KBS REIT III”), KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. (“KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT”), KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc.

On January 6, 2014, the Company, together with KBS REIT I, KBS REIT III, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, 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 2015, KBS Growth & Income REIT was added to the insurance program at terms similar to those described above. In June 2018, the Company renewed its participation in the program. At renewal, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II and Legacy Partners Apartment REIT elected to cease participation in the program and obtain separate insurance coverage. The program is effective through June 30, 2019. KBS REIT I elected to cease participation in the program at the June 2017 renewal and obtained separate insurance coverage.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, no other business transactions occurred between the Company and KBS REIT I, KBS REIT III, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, KBS Growth & Income REIT, the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or other KBS-affiliated entities.
Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, summarized below are the related-party costs incurred by the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and any related amounts payable as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands):

_____________________
(1) Reimbursable operating expenses primarily consists of internal audit personnel costs, 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 $62,000 and $55,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $128,000 and $104,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and were the only type of employee costs reimbursed under the Advisory Agreement for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The Company will not reimburse for employee costs in connection with services for which the Advisor earns acquisition, origination or disposition fees (other than reimbursement of travel and communication expenses) or for the salaries or benefits the Advisor or its affiliates may pay to the Company’s executive officers. In addition to the amounts above, the Company reimburses the Advisor for certain of the Company’s direct costs incurred from third parties that were initially paid by the Advisor on behalf of the Company.
(2) Disposition fees with respect to real estate sold are included in the gain on sale of real estate, net, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
During each of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Advisor paid the Company a $0.1 million property insurance rebate.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Economic Dependency
The Company is dependent on the Advisor for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the disposition of real estate investments; management of the daily operations of the Company’s real estate investment portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event the Advisor is unable to provide any of these services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing environmental laws is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of June 30, 2018.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is 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.
11.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

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 Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, KBS Limited Partnership II, 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 Real Estate Investment Trust II, 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:
All of our executive officers and some of our directors and other key real estate and debt finance professionals are also officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, the entity that acted as our dealer manager and/or other KBS-affiliated entities. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other KBS-sponsored programs and KBS-advised investors and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions.
We pay substantial fees to and expenses of our advisor and its affiliates. These payments increase the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us and increase the risk of loss to our stockholders.
We have used proceeds from financings, when necessary, to fund a portion of our distributions during our operational stage. We currently expect that our distributions will generally be paid from cash flow from operations and funds from operations from current or prior periods, except with respect to distributions paid from the net proceeds from the sale of real estate and from the receipt of the principal repayment from our real estate-related loan receivable. We can give no assurance regarding the timing, amount or source of future distributions.
We depend on tenants for the revenue generated by our real estate investments and, accordingly, the revenue generated by our real estate investments is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from our properties 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 our debt service obligations and limiting our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
Our investments in real estate may be affected by unfavorable real estate market and general economic conditions, which could decrease the value of those assets and reduce the investment return to our stockholders. Revenues from our properties could decrease. Such events would make it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
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.
Our portfolio loan facility bears interest at a variable rate of 145 basis points over one-month LIBOR. Increases in one-month LIBOR would increase the amount of our debt payments and could limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
Our share redemption program provides only for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program document, and, together with redemptions sought in connection with a stockholder’s death, “Special Redemptions”). The dollar amounts available for such redemptions are determined by the board of directors and may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time. Additionally, redemptions are further subject to limitations described in our share redemption program. We currently do not expect to have funds available for ordinary redemptions in the future.

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

Since we have terminated our dividend reinvestment plan, we may have to use a greater proportion of our cash flow from operations and proceeds from the sales of real estate properties to meet cash requirements for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs and leasing costs related to our real estate properties; reserves required by financings of our real estate properties; the repayment of debt; and Special Redemptions under our share redemption program. This may reduce cash available for distributions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we sold three office buildings that were part of an eight-building office campus and received the repayment on one real estate loan receivable. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we sold two office properties. As a result of our disposition activity, our general and administrative expenses, which are not directly related to the size of our portfolio, have increased as a percentage of our cash flow from operations and will continue to increase to the extent we sell additional assets.
Although the Special Committee (defined below) engaged a financial advisor to assist us and the Special Committee with the exploration of strategic alternatives for us, we are not obligated to enter into any particular transaction or any transaction at all. Further, although we are exploring strategic alternatives and are marketing some of our assets for sale, there is no assurance that this process will result in stockholder liquidity, or provide a return to stockholders that equals or exceeds our estimated value per share. We do not expect to provide additional updates regarding our review of strategic alternatives until such time, if any, that we are prepared to announce a material transaction or to conclude the strategic review.
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Overview
We were formed on July 12, 2007 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008 and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner. We conduct our business primarily through our Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is managed by our advisor, KBS Capital Advisors LLC, pursuant to an advisory agreement. KBS Capital Advisors conducts our operations and manages our portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. Our advisor owns 20,000 shares of our common stock. We have no paid employees.
We invested in a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. As of June 30, 2018, we owned eight office properties and an office campus consisting of five office buildings.
On September 27, 2007, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a maximum of 280,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public, of which 200,000,000 shares were registered in our primary offering and 80,000,000 shares were registered under our dividend reinvestment plan. We ceased offering shares of common stock in our primary offering on December 31, 2010. We sold 182,681,633 shares of common stock in our primary offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.8 billion. We terminated the offering under our dividend reinvestment plan effective May 29, 2014. We sold 30,903,504 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $298.2 million. Also as of June 30, 2018, we had redeemed 26,442,863 shares sold in our offering for $248.3 million.
On January 27, 2016, our board of directors formed a special committee (the “Special Committee”) composed of all of our independent directors to explore the availability of strategic alternatives involving us. As part of the process of exploring strategic alternatives, on February 23, 2016, the Special Committee engaged Evercore Group L.L.C. (“Evercore”) to act as our financial advisor and to assist us and the Special Committee with this process. Under the terms of the engagement, Evercore provided various financial advisory services, as requested by the Special Committee as customary for an engagement in connection with exploring strategic alternatives. Although the Special Committee engaged Evercore to assist us and the Special Committee with the exploration of strategic alternatives for us, we are not obligated to enter into any particular transaction or any transaction at all.

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

The Special Committee determined that it would be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders to market some of our assets for sale while it continues to explore strategic alternatives for us. Based on the results of this sales effort, the board of directors may conclude that it would be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders to sell additional assets and, depending on the scope of the proposed asset sales, thereafter to adopt a plan of liquidation that would involve the sale of our remaining assets. In the event of such a determination, the proposed plan of liquidation would be presented to our stockholders for approval. The board of directors anticipates reaching a decision regarding strategic alternatives during 2018. Although we are exploring strategic alternatives and are marketing some of our assets for sale, there is no assurance that this process will result in stockholder liquidity, or provide a return to stockholders that equals or exceeds our estimated value per share.
Our charter requires that we seek stockholder approval of our liquidation if our shares of common stock are not listed on a national securities exchange by March 31, 2018, unless a majority of our independent directors determines that liquidation is not then in the best interest of our stockholders. On March 7, 2018, the conflicts committee unanimously determined to postpone approval of our liquidation while the Special Committee continues to explore strategic alternatives for us. Our charter requires that the conflicts committee revisit the issue of liquidation at least annually.
Our focus in 2018 is to: continue to strategically sell assets and consider special distributions to stockholders; negotiate lease renewals or new leases that facilitate the sales process and enhance property stability for prospective buyers; complete capital projects, such as renovations or amenity enhancements, to attract quality buyers; and finalize the strategic alternatives assessment and decide on a course of action.
Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets
Volatility in global financial markets and changing political environments can cause fluctuations in the performance of the U.S. commercial real estate 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 from investment properties. Increases in the cost of financing due to higher interest rates  may cause difficulty in refinancing debt obligations prior to or at maturity or at terms as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness.  Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments. Management continuously reviews our investment and debt financing strategies to optimize our portfolio and the cost of our debt exposure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for funds during the short- and long-term are and will be for: the payment of operating expenses, capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses; payments under debt obligations; Special Redemptions of common stock pursuant to our share redemption program; and payments of distributions to stockholders. We intend to use our cash on hand, cash flow generated by our real estate properties, proceeds from debt financing, proceeds from the sale of real estate properties and the repayment of our real estate loan receivable as our primary sources of immediate and long-term liquidity.
Our share redemption program provides only for Special Redemptions. During each calendar year, such Special Redemptions are limited to an annual dollar amount determined by the board of directors, which may be reviewed during the year and increased or decreased upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. Special Redemptions are made at a price per share equal to the most recent estimated value per share of our common stock as of the applicable redemption date. We currently do not expect to make ordinary redemptions in the future. On December 6, 2017, our board of directors approved an annual dollar limitation of $10.0 million in the aggregate for the calendar year 2018 (subject to review and adjustment during the year by the board of directors), and further subject to the limitations described in the share redemption program. As of June 30, 2018, we had $7.5 million available for Special Redemptions for the remainder of 2018.
Our investments in real estate generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, which are reduced by operating expenditures, debt service payments, the payment of asset management fees and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from our real estate investments is 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. As of June 30, 2018, our real estate properties were 82% occupied and our bad debt reserve was less than 1% of annualized base rent.

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

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our cash needs for capital expenditures and the payment of debt obligations were met with cash on hand and proceeds from debt refinancing. Operating cash needs during the same period were met with cash flow generated by our real estate and real estate-related investments. We paid distributions to our stockholders during the six months ended June 30, 2018 using current period cash flow from operations. We believe that our cash on hand, cash flow from operations, availability under our credit facility, proceeds from the sales of real estate properties and the repayment of our real estate loan receivable will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
Our cash flow from operations has decreased and will continue to decrease in future periods as a result of our disposition activity, and we have adjusted our distribution policy with respect to the amount of monthly distribution payments to take into account our disposition activity and current real estate investments. We may continue to make additional strategic asset sales as opportunities become available in the market and may further adjust our distribution policy as a result. Any future special distributions we make from the proceeds of dispositions will reduce our estimated value per share and this reduction will be reflected in our updated estimated value per share, which we expect to update no later than December 2018.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
As of June 30, 2018, we owned eight office properties and an office campus consisting of five office buildings.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash provided by operating activities was $38.9 million, compared to $29.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to lease termination fees received in 2018. We anticipate cash flows from operating activities to decrease as a result of additional asset sales.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $93.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and consisted of the following:
$94.0 million of net proceeds from the sale of three office buildings that were part of an eight-building office campus;
$14.1 million used for improvements to real estate; and
$13.9 million of cash received from the repayment of our real estate loan receivable.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash used in financing activities was $113.8 million and consisted of the following:
$375.0 million of proceeds from notes payable;
$460.2 million of principal payments on notes payable;
$23.3 million of cash used for distributions;
$2.8 million of payments of deferred financing costs; and
$2.5 million of cash used for redemptions of common stock.
In addition to using our capital resources to meet our debt service obligations, for capital expenditures and for operating costs, we use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor. We paid our advisor fees in connection with the acquisition and origination of our assets and pay our advisor fees in connection with the management and disposition of our assets and for certain costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us. Among the fees payable to our advisor is an asset management fee. With respect to investments in real estate, we pay our advisor a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the amount paid or allocated to acquire the investment, plus the cost of any subsequent development, construction or improvements to the property. This amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition fees and expenses related thereto. With respect to investments in loans and any investments other than real estate, we paid our advisor a monthly asset management fee calculated, each month, as one-twelfth of 0.75% of the lesser of (i) the amount paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment (which amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition or origination fees and expenses related thereto) and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, plus the acquisition or origination fees and expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment, as of the time of calculation. We also continue to reimburse our advisor and our dealer manager for certain stockholder services.

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

As of June 30, 2018, we had $94.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and up to $125.0 million available for future disbursements under one credit facility, subject to certain conditions and restrictions set forth in the loan agreement, to meet our operational and capital needs.
In order to execute our investment strategy, we primarily utilized secured debt to finance a portion of our investment portfolio. Management remains vigilant in monitoring the risks inherent with the use of debt in our portfolio and is taking actions to ensure that these risks, including refinance and interest rate risks, are properly balanced with the benefit of using leverage. We limit our total liabilities to 75% of the cost (before deducting depreciation and other noncash reserves) of our tangible assets; however, we may exceed that limit if the majority of the conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of such limitation and we disclose such borrowings to our stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. As of June 30, 2018, our borrowings and other liabilities were approximately 31% of both the cost (before deducting depreciation and other noncash reserves) and book value (before deducting depreciation) of our tangible assets, respectively.

Results of Operations
Overview
As of June 30, 2017, we owned nine office properties, an office campus consisting of eight office buildings and one real estate loan receivable. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, we sold one office property and three office buildings that were part of an eight-building office campus and received the repayment on one real estate loan receivable. As a result, as of June 30, 2018, we owned eight office properties and an office campus consisting of five office buildings. The results of operations presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are not directly comparable due to the dispositions of real estate properties and the payoff of our real estate loan receivable. In general, we expect income and expenses to decrease in future periods due to disposition activity.

(1) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017 related to real estate and real estate-related investments disposed of or repaid on or after April 1, 2017.
(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017 related to real estate investments owned by us throughout both periods presented.
Rental income and tenant reimbursements decreased from $35.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $32.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the disposition of real estate properties subsequent to April 1, 2017 and an overall decrease in portfolio occupancy of 2% related to real estate held throughout both periods, partially offset by an aggregate increase in average annualized base rent per square foot of 1.9% related to real estate held throughout both periods. Overall, we expect rental income and tenant reimbursements to decrease in future periods due to anticipated dispositions of real estate properties.
Interest income from our real estate loan receivable, recognized using the interest method, decreased from $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 due to the payoff of our last real estate loan receivable on June 1, 2018.
Operating, maintenance and management costs decreased from $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the sale of real estate properties subsequent to April 1, 2017. We expect operating, maintenance and management costs to decrease in future periods due to anticipated dispositions of real estate properties, offset by general increases due to inflation.
Real estate taxes and insurance decreased from $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the disposition of real estate properties subsequent to April 1, 2017 and higher real estate taxes during the three months ended June 30, 2017 related to a real estate property held throughout both periods as a result of an expense true-up recorded during the period based on a higher property tax assessed value. We expect real estate taxes and insurance to decrease in future periods due to anticipated dispositions of real estate properties, partially offset by increases due to higher property tax assessed value.
Asset management fees with respect to our real estate and real estate-related investments decreased from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the disposition of real estate properties and payoff of our real estate loan receivable subsequent to April 1, 2017. All asset management fees incurred as of June 30, 2018 have been paid. We expect asset management fees to decrease in future periods due to anticipated dispositions of real estate properties.

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

General and administrative expenses increased from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to professional fees incurred related to the Special Committee’s engagement of Evercore to act as our financial advisor and legal fees related to the assessment of strategic alternatives during the three months ended June 30, 2018. We did not incur such costs during the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Depreciation and amortization decreased from $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 due to the disposition of real estate properties subsequent to April 1, 2017 and as a result of lease expirations related to properties held throughout both periods, partially offset by the acceleration of amortization of tenant improvement costs and tenant origination and absorption costs in connection with Union Bank’s early lease termination. We expect depreciation and amortization to decrease in future periods due to anticipated dispositions of real estate properties and an overall decrease in amortization of tenant origination costs related to lease expirations.
Interest expense remained consistent at $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Included in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $0.3 million and $0.3 million of amortization of deferred financing costs, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded $27,000 of unrealized gains on interest rate swaps. Interest expense decreased $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017, as a result of the overall decrease in our total debt outstanding due to loan repayments in connection with the disposition of real estate properties subsequent to April 1, 2017; however, this was offset by a $0.4 million increase in interest expense primarily due to an increase in one-month LIBOR and its impact on interest expense related to our variable rate debt. In general, we expect interest expense to decrease in future periods due to debt repayments related to anticipated asset sales, which may be offset by certain fees and costs that may be incurred due to the prepayment of certain loans. Our interest expense in future periods will also vary based on fluctuations in one-month LIBOR (for our variable rate debt) and our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of debt financing, draws on our credit facility and any debt repayments we make.
We recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $24.9 million related to the disposition of three office buildings that were part of an eight-building office campus during the three months ended June 30, 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $7.9 million related to the disposition of one office property.

Rental income and tenant reimbursements decreased from $72.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $66.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the disposition of real estate properties subsequent to January 1, 2017 and an overall decrease in portfolio occupancy of 2% related to real estate held throughout both periods, partially offset by an aggregate increase in average annualized base rent per square foot of 1.9% related to real estate held throughout both periods. Overall, we expect rental income and tenant reimbursements to decrease in future periods due to anticipated dispositions of real estate properties.
Interest income from our real estate loan receivable, recognized using the interest method, decreased from $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to the payoff of our last real estate loan receivable on June 1, 2018.
Operating, maintenance and management costs decreased from $17.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $16.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the sale of real estate properties subsequent to January 1, 2017, partially offset by an increase in snow removal expenses related to our properties located in the northeastern regions of the United States. We expect operating, maintenance and management costs to decrease in future periods due to anticipated dispositions of real estate properties, offset by general increases due to inflation.
Real estate taxes and insurance decreased from $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the disposition of real estate properties subsequent to January 1, 2017. We expect real estate taxes and insurance to decrease in future periods due to anticipated dispositions of real estate properties, partially offset by increases due to higher property tax assessed value.
Asset management fees with respect to our real estate and real estate-related investments decreased from $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the disposition of real estate properties and payoff of our real estate loan receivable subsequent to January 1, 2017. All asset management fees incurred as of June 30, 2018 have been paid. We expect asset management fees to decrease in future periods due to anticipated dispositions of real estate properties.
General and administrative expenses increased from $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to professional fees incurred related to the Special Committee’s engagement of Evercore to act as our financial advisor and legal fees related to the assessment of strategic alternatives during the six months ended June 30, 2018. We did not incur such costs during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Depreciation and amortization decreased from $27.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $26.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to the disposition of real estate properties subsequent to January 1, 2017 and as a result of lease expirations related to properties held throughout both periods, partially offset by the acceleration of amortization of tenant improvement costs and tenant origination and absorption costs in connection with Union Bank’s early lease termination. We expect depreciation and amortization to decrease in future periods due to anticipated dispositions of real estate properties and an overall decrease in amortization of tenant origination costs related to lease expirations.
Interest expense increased from $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Included in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $0.6 million of amortization of deferred financing costs and $0.3 million of debt refinancing costs. Included in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $0.6 million of amortization of deferred financing costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded $0.1 million of unrealized gains on interest rate swaps. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to the increase in one-month LIBOR and its impact on interest expense related to our variable rate debt, partially offset by an overall decrease in our total debt outstanding due to loan repayments in connection with the disposition of real estate properties subsequent to January 1, 2017.

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

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 modified funds from operations (“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 Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”) in November 2010 as interpreted by management. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not compute MFFO in accordance with the current IPA definition or that interpret the current IPA definition differently than we do.
We believe that MFFO is helpful as a measure of ongoing operating performance because it excludes non-operating items included in FFO.  MFFO excludes non-cash items such as straight-line rental revenue.  Additionally, we believe that 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; however, neither FFO nor MFFO reflects adjustments for the operations of properties and real estate-related investments sold, held for sale or repaid during the periods presented. During periods of significant disposition activity, FFO and MFFO are much more limited measures of future performance and dividend sustainability.

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

Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of straight-line rent, the amortization of above- and below-market leases, the amortization of discounts and closing costs, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and loss from extinguishment of debt 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 real estate values and 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;
Amortization of discounts and closing costs.  Discounts and closing costs related to debt investments are amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income.  This application results in income recognition that is different than the underlying contractual terms of the debt investments.  We have excluded the amortization of discounts and closing costs related to our debt investments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the economic impact of our debt investments, as discounts will not be economically recognized until the loan is repaid and closing costs are essentially the same as acquisition fees and expenses on real estate.  We believe excluding these items provides investors with a useful supplemental metric that directly addresses core operating performance;
Unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments.  These adjustments include unrealized gains (losses) from mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate swaps and losses due to hedge ineffectiveness.  The change in fair value of interest rate swaps not designated as a hedge and the change in fair value of the ineffective portion of interest rate swaps are non-cash adjustments recognized directly in earnings and are included in interest expense.  We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the economic impact of our interest rate swap agreements; and
Loss from extinguishment of debt. A loss from extinguishment of debt, which includes prepayment fees related to the 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.
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 six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively (in thousands). No conclusions or comparisons should be made from the presentation of these periods.

(1) Assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day that was a record date for distributions during the period presented.
(2) Other than special distributions, distributions generally are paid on a monthly basis, on or about the first business day of the following month.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we paid aggregate distributions of $23.3 million, all of which were paid in cash. FFO and cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were $26.9 million and $38.9 million, respectively. We funded our total distributions paid with $23.3 million of current period cash flow from operations. For purposes of determining the source of our distributions paid, we assume first that we use cash flow from operations from the relevant periods to fund distribution payments. See the reconciliation of FFO to net income above.
Over the long term, we expect that our distributions will generally be paid from cash flow from operations and FFO from current or prior periods (except with respect to distributions related to sales of our assets and distributions related to the repayment of principal under our mortgage loan investment).
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we sold three office buildings that were part of an eight-building office campus and received the repayment on one real estate loan receivable. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we sold two office properties. Our cash flow from operations has decreased and will continue to decrease as a result of our disposition activity, and we have adjusted our distribution policy with respect to the amount of monthly distribution payments to take into account our disposition activity and current real estate investments. We may continue to make additional strategic asset sales as opportunities become available in the market and may further adjust our distribution policy as a result. Any future special distributions we make from the proceeds of dispositions will reduce our estimated value per share and this reduction will be reflected in our updated estimated value per share, which we expect to update no later than December 2018.
Our operating performance and ability to pay distributions from our cash flow from operations and/or the disposition of our assets 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, 2017, as filed with the SEC. Those factors include: the future operating performance of our investments in the existing real estate and financial environment; the success and economic viability of our tenants; our ability to refinance existing indebtedness at comparable terms; changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt obligation; our ability to successfully dispose of additional assets; and the sources and amounts of cash we have available for distributions.

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

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, 2017 filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2018, except for our adoption of the revenue recognition standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board effective on January 1, 2018.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU No. 2014-09”), using the modified retrospective approach, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of our adoption.  Under the modified retrospective approach, an entity may also elect to apply this standard to either (i) all contracts as of January 1, 2018 or (ii) only to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018.  A completed contract is a contract for which all (or substantially all) of the revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP that was in effect before the date of initial application. We elected to apply this standard only to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018.
Based on our evaluation of contracts within the scope of ASU No. 2014-09, revenue that is impacted by ASU No. 2014-09 includes revenue generated by sales of real estate, other operating income and tenant reimbursements for substantial services earned at our properties. The recognition of such revenue will occur when the services are provided and the performance obligations are satisfied. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, tenant reimbursements for substantial services accounted for under ASU No. 2014-09 were $0.4 million and $0.8 million and were included in tenant reimbursements on the accompanying statements of operations.
Sales of Real Estate
Prior to January 1, 2018, gains on real estate sold were recognized using the full accrual method at closing when collectibility of the sales price was reasonably assured, we were not obligated to perform additional activities that may be considered significant, the initial investment from the buyer was sufficient and other profit recognition criteria had been satisfied. Gain on sales of real estate may have been deferred in whole or in part until the requirements for gain recognition had been met.
Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the guidance of ASC 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASC 610-20”), which applies to sales or transfers to noncustomers of nonfinancial assets or in substance nonfinancial assets that do not meet the definition of a business.  Generally, our sales of real estate would be considered a sale of a nonfinancial asset as defined by ASC 610-20.
ASC 610-20 refers to the revenue recognition principles under ASU No. 2014-09.  Under ASC 610-20, if we determine we do not have a controlling financial interest in the entity that holds the asset and the arrangement meets the criteria to be accounted for as a contract, we would derecognize the asset and recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the real estate when control of the underlying asset transfers to the buyer.

Subsequent Events
We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Distributions Paid
On July 2, 2018, we paid distributions of $3.8 million, which related to distributions declared for June 2018 in the amount of $0.02009589 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 20, 2018. On August 1, 2018, we paid distributions of $3.9 million, which related to distributions declared for July 2018 in the amount of $0.02076575 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 20, 2018.
Distributions Authorized
On August 7, 2018, our board of directors authorized an August 2018 distribution in the amount of $0.02076575 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 20, 2018, which we expect to pay in September 2018, and a September 2018 distribution in the amount of $0.02009589 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 20, 2018, which we expect to pay in October 2018.
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, to fund the financing and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and to fund our operations. Our profitability and the value of our 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 have managed and will continue to 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. In addition, 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 payments of distributions to our stockholders and that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments.
We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future payments on our fixed rate debt unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $41.4 million and the outstanding principal balance of our fixed rate debt was $42.4 million. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt is calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated as of June 30, 2018. With respect to our fixed rate instruments, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our ongoing operations.
Conversely, movements in interest rates on our variable rate debt would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of variable rate instruments. As of June 30, 2018, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $375.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Based on interest rates as of June 30, 2018, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher or lower during the 12 months ending June 30, 2019, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase or decrease by $3.8 million.
The interest rates of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt as of June 30, 2018 were 3.5% and 3.4%, respectively. The interest rates represent the actual interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2018, using interest rate indices as of June 30, 2018, where applicable.
For a discussion of the interest rate risks related to the current capital and credit markets, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Market Outlook — Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets” herein and the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC.

Our share redemption program provides only for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program document, and together with redemptions sought in connection with a stockholder’s death, “Special Redemptions”). Such redemptions are subject to the limitations described in the share redemption program document, including:
During each calendar year, Special Redemptions are limited to an annual dollar amount determined by the board of directors, which may be reviewed during the year and increased or decreased upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. We may provide notice by including such information (a) in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or (b) in a separate mailing to the stockholders. On December 6, 2017, the board of directors approved the dollar amount limitation for Special Redemptions for calendar year 2018 of $10.0 million in the aggregate (subject to review and adjustment during the year by the board of directors), and further subject to the limitations described in the share redemption program.
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 General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency.
If we cannot repurchase all shares presented for redemption in any month because of the limitations on redemptions set forth in our share redemption program, then we will honor redemption requests on a pro rata basis, except that if a pro rata redemption would result in a stockholder owning less than the minimum purchase requirement described in our currently effective, or our most recently effective, registration statement as such registration statement has been amended or supplemented, then we would redeem all of such stockholder’s shares.
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 us.  Stockholders wishing to continue to have a redemption request related to any transferred shares considered by us must resubmit their redemption request.
Pursuant to the share redemption program, redemptions made in connection with Special Redemptions are made at a price per share equal to the most recent estimated value per share of our common stock as of the applicable redemption date. We do not currently expect to have funds available for ordinary redemptions in the future.
The only redemptions we made under our share redemption program during the six months ended June 30, 2018 were those that qualified as, and met the requirements for, Special Redemptions under our share redemption program and we fulfilled all redemption requests that qualified as Special Redemptions under our share redemption program. We funded redemptions during the six months ended June 30, 2018 with existing cash on hand.
We may amend, suspend or terminate our share redemption program upon 30 days’ notice to our stockholders, provided that we may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares under the program upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. We may provide this notice by including such information (a) in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC or (b) in a separate mailing to our stockholders.

(1) We announced the adoption and commencement of the program on April 8, 2008. We announced amendments to the program on May 13, 2009 (which amendment became effective on June 12, 2009), on March 11, 2011 (which amendment became effective on April 10, 2011), on May 18, 2012 (which amendment became effective on June 17, 2012), on June 29, 2012 (which amendment became effective on July 29, 2012), on October 18, 2012 (which amendment became effective on November 17, 2012), on March 8, 2013 (which amendment became effective on April 7, 2013), on October 17, 2013 (which amendment became effective on November 16, 2013) and on May 19, 2014 (which amendment became effective on June 18, 2014).
(2) In accordance with our share redemption program, the redemption price for Special Redemptions is equal to the most recent estimated value per share of our common stock as of the redemption date. On December 8, 2017, our board of directors approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of $4.89 (unaudited) based on the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of September 30, 2017. The change in the redemption price became effective for the December 29, 2017 redemption date and will be effective until the estimated value per share is updated. We expect to utilize our advisor and/or an independent valuation firm to update the estimated value per share no later than December 2018. For a full description of the methodologies used to value our assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of the estimated value per share, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2018.
(3) We limit the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the share redemption program as described above. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we redeemed $2.5 million of shares, which represented all redemption requests received in good order and eligible for redemption through the June 2018 redemption date. Based on the redemption limitations described above and redemptions through June 30, 2018, we may redeem up to $7.5 million of shares in connection with Special Redemptions for the remainder of 2018.
