PART I

Item 1. Business

General

Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. (which we refer to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was incorporated in June 2008 as a Maryland corporation. We were formed to acquire and develop a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate located in the United States and Canada. We also may invest in other real estate assets such as interests in real estate investment trusts, or “REITs,” or other “real estate operating companies” that own these assets, joint ventures and commercial mortgage debt. Our sponsor, Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation, referred to herein as our “Sponsor” or “IREIC,” is a subsidiary of The Inland Group, Inc. Various affiliates of our Sponsor are involved in our business. We are externally managed and advised by Inland Diversified Business Manager & Advisor, Inc. referred to herein as our “Business Manager,” a wholly owned subsidiary of our Sponsor. Our Business Manager is responsible for overseeing and managing our day-to-day operations. Our properties typically are managed by Inland Diversified Real Estate Services LLC, Inland Diversified Asset Services LLC, Inland Diversified Leasing Services LLC and Inland Diversified Development Services LLC, referred to collectively herein as our “Real Estate Managers,” which are indirectly controlled by the four principals of The Inland Group. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are stated in thousands.

On August 24, 2009, we commenced our initial public offering, referred to herein as the “Offering.” We are offering 500,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price equal to $10.00 per share on a “best efforts” basis. We also are offering up to 50,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price equal to $9.50 per share to stockholders who elect to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan, or “DRP.” The dealer manager of this Offering is Inland Securities Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of our Sponsor. As of December 31, 2011, we had issued a total of 58,411,177 shares through the Offering, which includes 2,023,655 shares issued through our DRP. Through the Offering, we had raised a total of approximately $582,422 of gross offering proceeds as of December 31, 2011, which includes proceeds from the sale of shares issued through the DRP. We will close the Offering to new investors on August 23, 2012.

At December 31, 2011, we owned 46 retail properties and two office properties collectively totaling 5,579,328 square feet and one multi-family property totaling 300 units. As of December 31, 2011, the portfolio had a weighted average physical occupancy and economic occupancy of 94.7% and 97.3%, respectively. Economic occupancy excludes square footage associated with an earnout component. At the time of acquisition, certain properties have an earnout component to the purchase price, meaning we did not pay a portion of the purchase price at closing for certain vacant spaces, although we own the entire property. We are not obligated to pay this contingent purchase price unless space which was vacant at the time of acquisition is later rented within the time limits and parameters set forth in the acquisition agreement.

Segment Data

We currently view our real estate portfolio as one business segment in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Accordingly, we did not report any other segment disclosures in 2011. As we acquire additional properties in the future, we anticipate adding business segments and related disclosures when the segments become more significant. Information related to our business segment for the year 2011 is set forth in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K.

Tax Status

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) beginning with the tax year ended

 

1


Table of Contents

December 31, 2009. Because we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, without the benefit of certain relief provisions, we will be subject to federal (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and state income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income, property or net worth, respectively, and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

Competition

We are subject to significant competition in seeking real estate investments and tenants. We compete with many third parties engaged in real estate investment activities including other REITs, specialty finance companies, savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, mutual funds, institutional investors, investment banking firms, lenders, hedge funds, governmental bodies and other entities. Some of these competitors, including larger REITs, have substantially greater financial resources than we do and generally enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies.

Employees

We do not have any employees. In addition, all of our executive officers are officers of IREIC or one or more of its affiliates and are compensated by those entities, in part, for their service rendered to us. We do not separately compensate our executive officers for their service as officers, nor do we reimburse either our Business Manager or Real Estate Managers for any compensation paid to individuals who also serve as our executive officers, or the executive officers of our Business Manager or its affiliates or our Real Estate Managers; provided that, for these purposes, the secretaries of our Company and the Business Manager are not considered “executive officers.”

Conflicts of Interest

Certain persons performing services for our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers are employees of IREIC or its affiliates, and may also perform services for its affiliates and other IREIC-sponsored entities. These individuals face competing demands for their time and services and may have conflicts in allocating their time between our business and assets and the business and assets of these other entities. IREIC also may face a conflict of interest in allocating personnel and resources among these entities. In addition, conflicts exist to the extent that we acquire properties in the same geographic areas where properties owned by other IREIC-sponsored programs are located. In these cases, a conflict may arise in the acquisition or leasing of properties if we and another IREIC-sponsored program are competing for the same properties or tenants in negotiating leases, or a conflict may arise in connection with the resale of properties if we and another IREIC-sponsored program are selling similar properties at the same time.

Our charter contains provisions setting forth our ability to engage in certain related party transactions. Our board of directors reviews all of these transactions and, as a general rule, any related party transactions must be approved by a majority of the directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction. Further, we may not engage in certain transactions with entities sponsored by, or affiliated with, IREIC unless a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, finds the transaction to be fair and reasonable and on terms no less favorable to us than those from an unaffiliated party under the same circumstances. Our board has adopted a policy prohibiting us from engaging in the following types of transactions with IREIC-affiliated entities:

 

   

purchasing real estate assets from, or selling real estate assets to, any IREIC-affiliated entities (this excludes circumstances where we have entered into an agreement for services with an entity affiliated with IREIC, such as Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc. (“IREA”), who from time to time may enter into a purchase agreement to acquire a property and then assigns the purchase agreement to us);

Table of Contents
   

making loans to, or borrowing money from, any IREIC-affiliated entities (this excludes expense advancements under existing agreements and the deposit of monies in any banking institution affiliated with IREIC); and

 

   

investing in joint ventures with any IREIC-affiliated entities.

This policy does not impact agreements or relationships between us and IREIC and its affiliates that relate to the day-to-day management of our business or our Offering.

Environmental Matters

As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws, rules and regulations adopted by various governmental bodies or agencies. Compliance with these laws, rules and regulations has not had a material adverse effect on our business, assets, or results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions. We do not believe that our existing portfolio as of December 31, 2011 will require us to incur material expenditures to comply with these laws and regulations.

Executive Officers

The following sets forth certain information with regard to our executive officers as of December 31, 2011:

Robert D. Parks, 68, has been our chairman of the board and director since our formation.

Barry L. Lazarus, 65, has been our president and chief operating officer since May 2009.

Cathleen M. Hrtanek, 35, has been our secretary since our formation.

Steven T. Hippel, 40, has been our treasurer and chief accounting officer since November 2009.

Roberta S. Matlin, 67, has been our vice president since our formation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The factors described below represent our principal risks. Other factors may exist that we do not consider to be significant based on information that is currently available or that we are not currently able to anticipate. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed below could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. Potential investors and our stockholders may be referred to as “you” or “your” in this Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” section.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a limited operating history.

We have a limited operating history. We are subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business, including the risk that we will not achieve our investment objectives and that the value of an investor’s investment could decline substantially. We were formed in June 2008 and, as of December 31, 2011, had acquired 46 retail properties, two office properties and one multi-family property. As a company in its early stages of operations, we have incurred losses since our inception and we may continue to incur losses. As a result, we cannot assure you that, in the future, we will be profitable or that we will realize growth in the value of our assets.

There is no public market for our shares, and you may not be able to sell your shares.

There is no established public market for our shares and no assurance that one may develop. Our charter does not require our directors to seek stockholder approval to liquidate our assets by a specified date, nor does our charter require our directors to list our shares for trading by a specified date. Our board does not anticipate evaluating a listing on a national securities exchange until at least 2014. In addition, even if our board decides to seek a listing of our shares of common stock, there is no assurance that we will satisfy the listing requirements or that our shares will be approved for listing. Further, our charter limits a person or group from owning more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding stock or more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common stock without prior approval of our board. Moreover, our share repurchase program includes numerous restrictions that would limit your ability to sell your shares to us. Our board of directors may reject any request for repurchase of shares, or amend, suspend or terminate our share repurchase program upon notice. Therefore, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares promptly or at all. If you are able to sell your shares, you likely will have to sell them at a substantial discount to the price you paid for the shares. It also is likely that your shares would not be accepted as the primary collateral for a loan.

Recent market disruptions may adversely impact many aspects of our operating results and operating condition.

The financial and real estate markets have undergone pervasive and fundamental disruptions in the last few years. The disruptions have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the availability of credit to businesses generally, and real estate in particular, and have resulted in and could lead to further weakening of the U.S. and global economies. The availability of debt financing secured by commercial real estate has declined as a result of tightened underwriting standards. Our business has been affected, and may continue to be affected, by market and economic challenges experienced by the U.S. economy or real estate industry as a whole or by the local economic conditions in the markets in which our real estate assets are located, including the dislocations in the credit markets and general global economic recession. These challenging economic conditions also may impact the ability of certain of our tenants to satisfy rental payments under existing leases. Specifically, these conditions may have the following consequences:

 

   

the financial condition of our tenants may be adversely affected, which may result in us having to reduce rental rates in order to retain the tenants;

 

   

an increase in the number of bankruptcies or insolvency proceedings of our tenants and lease guarantors, which could delay our efforts to collect rent and any past due balances under the relevant leases and ultimately could preclude collection of these sums;

 

4


Table of Contents
   

credit spreads for major sources of capital may widen if stockholders demand higher risk premiums or interest rates could increase due to inflationary expectations, resulting in an increased cost for debt financing;

 

   

our ability to borrow on terms and conditions that we find acceptable may be limited, which could result in our operations generating lower overall economic returns and a reduced level of cash flow, which could potentially impact our ability to make distributions to our stockholders or pursue acquisition opportunities, among other things, and increase our interest expense;

 

   

a further reduction in the amount of capital that is available to finance real estate, which, in turn, could lead to a decline in real estate values generally, slow real estate transaction activity and reduce the loan to value ratio upon which lenders are willing to lend;

 

   

the value of certain of real estate assets may decrease below the amounts we pay for them, which would limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or to obtain debt financing secured by these assets and could reduce the availability of unsecured loans;

 

   

the value and liquidity of short-term investments, if any, could be reduced as a result of the dislocation of the markets for our short-term investments and increased volatility in market rates for these investments or other factors; and

 

   

one or more counterparties to derivative financial instruments that we enter into could default on their obligations to us, or could fail, increasing the risk that we may not realize the benefits of these instruments.

For these and other reasons, we cannot assure you that we will be profitable or that we will realize growth in the value of our investments.

The amount and timing of distributions may vary.

There are many factors that can affect the availability and timing of cash distributions paid to our stockholders such as our ability to buy, and earn positive yields on, real estate assets, the yields on securities of other entities in which we invest, our operating expense levels, as well as many other variables. The actual amount and timing of distributions is determined by our board of directors in its discretion, based on its analysis of our earnings, cash flow, anticipated cash flow, capital expenditure investments and general financial condition. Actual cash available for distribution may vary substantially from estimates. In addition, to the extent we invest in development or redevelopment projects, or in properties requiring significant capital requirements, our ability to make distributions may be negatively impacted, especially while we are raising capital and acquiring properties. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to fully fund distributions, some or all of our distributions may be paid from other sources, including cash flow generated from investing activities, including the net proceeds from the sale of our assets. Distributions reduce the amount of money available to invest in properties or other real estate assets.

In addition, our credit agreement, dated November 1, 2010, with KeyBank National Association as administrative agent for itself and any other lenders which may become parties to the agreement (the “Credit Facility”), imposes limits on our ability to pay distributions. More specifically, without lender consent, we may not declare and pay distributions if any default under the agreement then exists or if distributions, excluding any distributions reinvested through our DRP, for the then-current quarter (and beginning with our fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2012, for the past four fiscal quarters) would exceed 95% of our funds from operations, or “FFO,” for that period. For the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011, distributions did not exceed 95% of our FFO. Even if we are able to obtain lender consent to pay such distributions, any distributions that exceed cash flows from operations or FFO will likely not be sustainable for a significant period of time.

Table of Contents

There is no assurance that our Business Manager will continue to charge less than it is entitled to charge in an effort to increase cash available for distribution, or that IREIC will continue to contribute monies to fund future distributions.

From time to time, our Business Manager has waived business management fees and IREIC has contributed monies to us to fund our distributions. For GAAP purposes, the latter monies have been treated as capital contributions from IREIC although IREIC has not received, and will not receive, any additional shares of our common stock for these contributions. Neither our Business Manager nor IREIC has any obligation to provide us with additional advances or contributions, and our Business Manager is not obligated to defer, accrue or waive any portion of its business management fee or reimbursements.

Our share repurchase program may be amended, suspended or terminated by our board of directors.

Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend (in whole or in part), or terminate our share repurchase program. Further, our board reserves the right in its sole discretion to change the repurchase prices or reject any requests for repurchases. Any amendments to, or suspension or termination of, the share repurchase program may restrict or eliminate your ability to have us repurchase your shares and otherwise prevent you from liquidating your investment.

Our ongoing strategy depends, in part, upon future acquisitions, and we may not be successful in identifying and consummating these transactions.

Our business strategy involves expansion through the acquisition properties. We may not be successful in identifying suitable properties or other assets or in consummating these acquisitions on satisfactory terms, if at all.

Further, we face significant competition for attractive investment opportunities from an indeterminate number of other real estate investors, including investors with significant capital resources such as domestic and foreign corporations and financial institutions, publicly traded and privately held REITs, private institutional investment funds, investment banking firms, life insurance companies and pension funds. As a result of competition, we may be unable to acquire additional properties as we desire or the purchase price may be significantly elevated.

In light of current market conditions and depressed real estate values, property owners in many markets remain hesitant to sell their properties, resulting in fewer opportunities to acquire properties. Of the limited number of desirable properties that we are seeing come to market, we are either facing significant competition to acquire stabilized properties, or having to accept lease-up risk associated with properties that have lower occupancy. As market conditions and real estate values recover, more properties may become available for acquisition, but we can provide no assurances that these properties will meet our investment objectives or that we will be successful in acquiring these properties. Although conditions in the credit markets have improved over the past year, the ability of buyers to utilize higher levels of leverage to finance property acquisitions has been, and remains, somewhat limited. If we are unable to acquire sufficient debt financing at suitable rates or at all, we may be unable to acquire as many additional properties as we anticipate.

We may suffer from delays in selecting, acquiring and developing suitable properties.

Regardless of the amount of capital we raise or borrow, we may experience delays in deploying our capital into assets or in realizing a return on the capital we invest. The more money we raise in our current public offering, the more important it will be to invest the net offering proceeds promptly. We could suffer from delays in locating suitable investments as a result of competition in the relevant market, regulatory requirements such as those imposed by the SEC which require us to provide audited financial statements and our reliance on our Business Manager to locate suitable investments for us at times when the management of our Business Manager is simultaneously seeking to locate suitable investments for other IREIC-sponsored programs. Further, our investments may not yield immediate returns. For example, properties acquired before the start of construction or

 

6


Table of Contents

during the early stages of construction typically will not generate income for some period of time. Likewise, we may experience delays as a result of negotiating or obtaining the necessary purchase documentation to close an acquisition.

We also have invested, and may continue to invest, proceeds we receive from our current public offering in short-term, highly-liquid but very low-yield investments. These yields will likely be less than the distribution yield paid to stockholders, requiring us to earn a greater return from our other investments to make up for this “negative spread.” Further, we may use the principal amount of these investments, and any returns generated on these investments, to pay fees in connection with our offering and the expenses of our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and other affiliates of IREIC in connection with acquiring real estate assets for us.

Actions of our joint venture partners could negatively impact our performance.

As of December 31, 2011, we had entered into one joint venture with a third party, and may enter into additional joint ventures in the future. We are not, and generally do not expect to be, in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the property, partnership, joint venture or other entity in such joint venture investments. Consequently, our joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present with other methods of investment in real estate. For example, our co-member, co-venturer or partner may have economic or business interests or goals which are or which become inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and we and our venture partner may not agree on all proposed actions to certain aspects of the venture. Any disputes between us and our partners, co-members or co-venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. We also face the risk that our venture partners may become bankrupt, which would mean that we and any other remaining venture partners may remain liable for the joint venture’s liabilities, and the risk that that our partners may fail to fund their share of any required capital contributions, which could result in us having to contribute that capital.

In addition, relationships with venture partners are contractual in nature. These agreements may restrict our ability to sell our interest when we desire or on advantageous terms and, on the other hand, may be terminated or dissolved under the terms of the agreements and, in each event, we may not continue to own or operate the interests or assets underlying the relationship or may need to purchase these interests or assets at an above-market price to continue ownership.

If we internalize our management functions, your interest in us could be diluted and we may be unable to retain key personnel.

At some point in the future, we may consider becoming self-managed by internalizing the functions performed for us by our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers in connection with a liquidity event. Our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers have agreed that if we internalize our management functions in connection with a liquidity event or events, the purchase price we may pay for these entities will be limited and we will issue shares of our common stock, rather than cash, to pay the purchase price. The issuance of our common stock to our Business Manager or Real Estate Managers in these transactions may reduce the percentage of our outstanding shares owned by our other stockholders. Further, if we internalize our management functions, certain key employees may not become our employees but may instead remain employees of our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers or their respective affiliates, especially if we internalize our management functions but do not acquire our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers. An inability to manage an internalization transaction could effectively result in our incurring excess costs and suffering deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting. These deficiencies could cause us to incur additional costs, and our management’s attention could be diverted from most effectively managing our investments, which could result in us being sued and incurring litigation-associated costs in connection with the internalization transaction.

Table of Contents

If we pursue the acquisition of our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers, there is no assurance that we will reach an agreement with these parties as to the terms of the transaction.

Although our agreements with our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers limit the aggregate purchase price that we will pay to acquire our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers, neither the Business Manager nor the Real Estate Managers are obligated to enter into a transaction with us at any particular price. If we desire to internalize our management functions by acquiring our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers, our independent directors, as a whole, or a committee thereof, will have to negotiate the specific terms and conditions of any agreement or agreements to acquire these entities, including the actual purchase price, subject to this limit. There is no assurance that we will be able to enter into an agreement with the Business Manager and Real Estate Managers on mutually acceptable terms. Accordingly, we would have to seek alternative courses of actions to internalize our management functions.

If we seek to internalize our management functions, other than by acquiring our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers, we could incur greater costs and lose key personnel.

Our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers have advised our board that neither the Business Manager nor the Real Estate Managers will agree to be acquired unless the internalization occurs in connection with a listing or other liquidity event. If our board deems an internalization to be in our best interests, it may decide that we should pursue an internalization by hiring our own group of executives and other employees or entering into an agreement with a third party, such as a merger, instead of by acquiring our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers. The costs that we would incur in this case are uncertain and may be substantial. Further, we would lose the benefit of the experience of our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers.

The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and invest in real estate assets.

We have deposited our cash and cash equivalents in several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to the failure or takeover of any one of these entities. However, the Federal Insurance Deposit Corporation, or “FDIC,” generally only insures limited amounts per depositor per insured bank. At December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposited in interest bearing transaction accounts at certain financial institutions, including Inland Bank and Trust, a subsidiary of an affiliate of TIREG, exceeding these federally insured levels. If any of the banking institutions in which we have deposited funds ultimately fails, we may lose our deposits over the federally insured levels. The loss of our deposits could reduce the amount of cash we have available to distribute or invest.

Your return may be reduced if we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

The company is not registered, and does not intend to register itself or any of its subsidiaries, as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If we become obligated to register the company or any of its subsidiaries as an investment company, the registered entity would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under the Investment Company Act imposing, among other things:

 

   

limitations on capital structure;

 

   

restrictions on specified investments;

 

   

prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; and

 

   

compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations that would significantly change our operations.

The company intends to continue conducting its operations, directly and through wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries, so that the company and each of its subsidiaries are exempt from registration as an investment

company under the Investment Company Act. Under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, a company is not deemed to be an “investment company” if it neither is, nor holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, nor proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act, a company is not deemed to be an “investment company” if it neither is engaged, nor proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and does not own or propose to acquire “investment securities” having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets on an unconsolidated basis, which we refer to as the “40% test.”

As of the date of this report, the company and all of its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries are not considered investment companies under either Section 3(a)(1)(A) or Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act. In the event that the company or any of its wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries would ever inadvertently fall within one of the definitions of “investment company,” we intend to rely on the exception provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act.

Under Section 3(c)(5)(C), the SEC staff generally requires the company to maintain at least 55% of its assets directly in qualifying assets to qualify for this exception. Mortgage-backed securities may or may not constitute such qualifying assets, depending on the characteristics of the mortgage-backed securities, including the rights that we have with respect to the underlying loans. The company’s ownership of mortgage-backed securities, therefore, is limited by provisions of the Investment Company Act and SEC staff interpretations.

The method we use to classify our assets for purposes of the Investment Company Act is based in large measure upon no-action positions taken by the SEC staff in the past. These no-action positions were issued in accordance with factual situations that may be substantially different from the factual situations we may face, and a number of these no-action positions were issued more than ten years ago. No assurance can be given that the SEC staff will concur with our classification of our assets. In addition, the SEC staff may, in the future, issue further guidance that may require us to re-classify our assets for purposes of qualifying for exemption from regulation under the Investment Company Act. If we are required to re-classify our assets, we may no longer be in compliance with the exemption from the definition of an “investment company” provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act.

A change in the value of any of our assets could cause us to fall within the definition of “investment company” and negatively affect our ability to maintain our exemption from regulation under the Investment Company Act. To avoid being required to register the company or any of its subsidiaries as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell and may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish to retain. In addition, we may have to acquire additional income- or loss-generating assets that we might not otherwise have acquired or may have to forgo opportunities to acquire interests in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire and would be important to our investment strategy.

If we were required to register the company as an investment company but failed to do so, we would be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal and civil actions could be brought against us. In addition, our contracts would be unenforceable unless a court required enforcement, and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of us and liquidate our business.

Your investment may be subject to additional risks if we make investments in Canada.

We may purchase real estate assets located in Canada, and may make or purchase mortgage, bridge, mezzanine or other loans or participations in these loans made by a borrower located in, or secured by property located in, Canada. To the extent that we invest in real estate assets located in Canada, in addition to risks inherent in domestic real estate investments, we will also be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the uncertainty of foreign laws and markets including, but not limited to, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, difficulties in managing international operations, currency exchange controls, potentially adverse

tax consequences, additional accounting and control expenses and the administrative burden associated with complying with a wide variety of foreign laws. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely impact the fair values and earnings streams of our international holdings and therefore the returns on our non-dollar denominated investments. To the extent that we make real property investments in Canada, we will be subject to changes in the value of the Canadian Dollar relative to the value of the U.S. Dollar. Although we may hedge our foreign currency risk, we may not be able to do so successfully and may incur losses on these investments as a result of exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, if our REIT status is not recognized in Canada, any income or gains from Canadian sources may be subject to foreign taxation, withholding taxes, transfer taxes and value added taxes.

Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate

There are inherent risks with real estate investments.

Investments in real estate assets are subject to varying degrees of risk. For example, an investment in real estate cannot generally be quickly converted to cash, limiting our ability to promptly vary our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions. Investments in real estate assets also are subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions which, for example, reduce the demand for rental space. Among the factors that could impact our real estate assets and the value of an investment in us are:

 

   

local conditions such as an oversupply of space or reduced demand for real estate assets of the type that we seek to acquire, including, with respect to any lodging properties we may acquire, quick changes in supply of and demand for rooms that are rented or leased on a day-to-day basis;

 

   

inability to collect rent from tenants;

 

   

vacancies or inability to rent space on favorable terms;

 

   

inflation and other increases in operating costs, including insurance premiums, utilities and real estate taxes;

 

   

increases in energy costs or airline fares or terrorist incidents which impact the propensity of people to travel and therefore impact revenues from any lodging properties we may acquire, especially because operating costs cannot be adjusted as quickly;

 

   

federal, state or local regulations and controls affecting rents, zoning, prices of goods, fuel and energy consumption, water and environmental restrictions, as well as any adverse changes in these or other laws and regulations applicable to us;

 

   

the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;

 

   

changing market demographics;

 

   

an inability to acquire and finance properties on favorable terms, if at all;

 

   

acts of God, such as earthquakes, floods or other uninsured losses; and

 

   

changes or increases in interest rates and availability of financing.

In addition, periods of economic slowdown or recession, or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a general decline in rents or increased defaults under existing leases.

We face significant competition in the leasing market, which may decrease or prevent increases in the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.

We own properties located throughout the United States. We compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of commercial properties, many of which own properties similar to, and in the same market areas as, our properties. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates

 

10


Table of Contents

we currently charge our tenants, we may lose existing or potential tenants and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge in order to attract new tenants and retain existing tenants when their leases expire. Also, if our competitors develop additional properties in locations near our properties, there may be increased competition for creditworthy tenants, which may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise made.

We depend on tenants for the majority of our revenue from real property investments, and lease terminations or the exercise of any co-tenancy rights will adversely affect our operations.

Any defaults on lease payment obligations by a tenant will cause us to lose the revenue associated with the relevant lease. If these defaults become significant, we will be forced to use other funds to make payments on the mortgage indebtedness secured by the impacted property to prevent a foreclosure action. If a tenant defaults, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. In addition, if a tenant at a single-user facility, which has been designed or built primarily for a particular tenant or a specific type of use, fails to renew its lease or defaults on its lease obligations, we may not be able to readily market a single-user facility to a new tenant, if at all, without making substantial capital improvements or incurring other significant re-leasing costs.

Further, with respect to any retail properties we acquire, we may enter into leases containing co-tenancy provisions. Co-tenancy provisions may allow a tenant to exercise certain rights if, among other things, another tenant fails to open for business, delays its opening or ceases to operate, or if a percentage of the property’s gross leasable space or a particular portion of the property is not leased or subsequently becomes vacant. A tenant exercising co-tenancy rights may be able to abate minimum rent, reduce its share or the amount of its payments of common area operating expenses and property taxes or cancel its lease. In addition, in the case of leases with retail tenants, the majority of the leases contain provisions giving the particular tenant the exclusive right to sell particular types of merchandise or provide specific types of services within the particular retail center. In the event of a default at one of these properties, these lease provisions may limit the number and types of prospective tenants interested in leasing space at that property.

We may suffer adverse consequences due to the financial difficulties, bankruptcy or insolvency of our tenants.

Recent economic conditions may cause our tenants to experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn in their business. The retail sector in particular has been, and could continue to be, adversely affected by weakness in the national, regional and local economies, the level of consumer spending and consumer confidence, the adverse financial condition of some large retailing companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets and increasing competition from discount retailers, outlet malls, internet retailers and other online businesses. As of December 31, 2011, retail properties represented approximately 93.5% of our real property portfolio, based on aggregate purchase price paid at closing. We cannot provide assurance that any tenant that files for bankruptcy protection will continue to pay us rent. A bankruptcy filing by, or relating to, one of our tenants or a lease guarantor would bar efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from that tenant or lease guarantor, or its property, unless we receive an order permitting us to do so from the bankruptcy court. In addition, we cannot evict a tenant solely because of bankruptcy. The bankruptcy of a tenant or lease guarantor could delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases, and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. If a lease is assumed by the tenant in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy balances due under the lease must be paid to us in full. If, however, a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general, unsecured claim for damages. An unsecured claim would only be paid to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of general, unsecured claims. Restrictions under the bankruptcy laws further limit the amount of any other claims that we can make if a lease is rejected. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of the remaining rent during the term.

Table of Contents

One of our tenants generated a significant portion of our revenue, and rental payment defaults by this significant tenant could adversely affect our results of operations.

As of December 31, 2011, approximately 7.0% of our consolidated annualized base rental revenue was generated by Kohl’s Department Stores, Inc. (“Kohl’s”). As a result of the concentration of revenue generated from Kohl’s, if this tenant was to cease paying rent or fulfilling its other monetary obligations, we could have significantly reduced rental revenues or higher expenses until the default was cured or the properties that it leases were leased to a new tenant or tenants. In addition, there is no assurance that the properties could be re-leased on similar or better terms.

Geographic concentration of our portfolio makes us particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the real estate markets of those areas.

As of December 31, 2011, approximately 23.0%, 9.6% and 9.4% of our consolidated annualized base rental revenue of our consolidated portfolio was generated by properties located in the States of Florida, North Carolina and Virginia, respectively. Accordingly, our rental revenues and property operating results are likely to be impacted by economic changes affecting these states. This geographic concentration also exposes us to risks of oversupply and competition in these real estate markets.

Acquiring or attempting to acquire multiple properties in a single transaction may adversely affect our operations.

From time to time, we acquire multiple properties in a single transaction. Portfolio acquisitions typically are more complex and expensive than single property acquisitions, and the risk that a multiple-property acquisition does not close may be greater than in a single-property acquisition. Portfolio acquisitions may also result in us owning investments in geographically dispersed markets, placing additional demands on our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers in managing the properties in the portfolio. In addition, a seller may require that a group of properties be purchased as a package even though we may not want to purchase one or more properties in the portfolio. In these situations, if we are unable to identify another person or entity to acquire the unwanted properties, we may be required to operate or attempt to dispose of these properties. We also may be required to accumulate a large amount of cash to fund such acquisitions. We would expect the returns that we earn on such cash to be less than the returns on real property. Therefore, acquiring multiple properties in a single transaction may reduce the overall yield on our portfolio.

If we acquire lodging or healthcare-related properties, we will depend on third-parties to manage those facilities.

In order to maintain our REIT qualification, we will not be able to operate any lodging or healthcare-related properties that we acquire or participate in the decisions affecting the daily operations of these properties. We will lease any lodging and healthcare-related properties we acquire to a taxable REIT subsidiary, or “TRS,” in which we may own up to a 100% interest. Our TRS will enter into management agreements with eligible independent contractors that are not our subsidiaries or otherwise controlled by us to manage these properties. Thus, independent operators, under management agreements with our TRS, will control the daily operations of our lodging and healthcare-related properties.

We will depend on these independent management companies to operate our lodging and healthcare-related properties. We will not have the authority to require these properties to be operated in a particular manner or to govern any particular aspect of the daily operations, such as establishing room rates at our lodging properties. Thus, even if we believe our lodging or healthcare-related properties are being operated inefficiently or in a manner that does not result in satisfactory results, we may not be able to force the management company to change its method of operation of these properties. We can only seek redress if a management company violates the terms of the applicable management agreement with the TRS, and then only to the extent of the remedies

provided for under the terms of the management agreement. In the event that we need to replace any management company, we may be required by the terms of the management agreement to pay substantial termination fees and may experience significant disruptions at the affected properties.

Franchise agreements may limit our flexibility.

Any lodging properties that we acquire will be operated pursuant to franchise or license agreements with nationally recognized hotel brands. These franchise agreements may contain specific standards for, and restrictions and limitations on, the operation and maintenance of our properties. We do not know whether those limitations may conflict with our ability to create specific business plans tailored to each property and to each market.

The standards may change over time, in some cases at the direction of the franchisor, and may restrict our TRS’s ability, as franchisee, to make improvements or modifications to a property without the consent of the franchisor. In addition, compliance with the standards could require us or our TRS, as franchisee, to incur significant expenses or capital expenditures. Action or inaction on our part, or by our TRS, could result in a breach of those standards or other terms and conditions of the franchise agreements and could result in the loss or cancellation of a franchise license.

In connection with terminating or changing the franchise affiliation of a lodging property, we may be required to incur significant expenses or capital expenditures. Moreover, the loss of a franchise license could have a material adverse effect upon the operations or the underlying value of the property covered by the franchise because of the loss of associated name recognition, marketing support and centralized reservation systems provided by the franchisor.

The lodging industry is seasonal.

The lodging industry is seasonal in nature. Generally, occupancy rates and hotel revenues are greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. As a result of the seasonality of the lodging industry, there will likely be quarterly fluctuations in results of operations of any lodging properties that we may own. Quarterly financial results may be adversely affected by factors outside our control.

The lodging market is highly competitive and generally subject to greater volatility than other market segments in which we may invest.

The lodging business is highly competitive and influenced by factors such as location, room rates and quality, service levels, reputation and reservation systems, among many other factors. There are many competitors in this market, and these competitors may have substantially greater marketing and financial resources than those available to us. This competition, along with other factors, such as over-building in the lodging industry and certain deterrents to traveling, may increase the number of rooms available and may decrease the average occupancy and room rates of our lodging properties. The demand for rooms at any lodging properties that we may acquire will change much more rapidly than the demand for space at other properties that we acquire.

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated and existing and new laws or regulations, changes to existing laws or regulations, loss of licensure or failure to obtain licensure could result in the inability of tenants at our healthcare-related facilities to make lease payments to us.

We intend to invest in medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities. The healthcare industry is highly regulated by federal, state and local laws, and is directly affected by federal conditions of participation, state licensing requirements, facility inspections, state and federal reimbursement policies, regulations concerning capital and other expenditures, certification requirements and other laws, regulations and rules. In addition, healthcare facilities are subject to regulatory approvals not required for other types of real estate. Sanctions for

Table of Contents

failure to comply with these regulations and laws include, but are not limited to, loss of or inability to obtain licensure, fines and loss of or inability to obtain certification to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, as well as potential criminal penalties. The failure of any tenant to comply with these laws, requirements and regulations could affect its ability to establish or continue its operation of the facility or facilities and could adversely affect the tenant’s ability to make lease payments to us. In addition, restrictions and delays in transferring the operations of healthcare facilities, in obtaining new third-party payor contracts, including Medicare and Medicaid provider agreements, and in receiving licensure and certification approval from appropriate state and federal agencies by new tenants may affect our ability to terminate lease agreements, remove tenants that violate lease terms and replace existing tenants with new tenants at these facilities. Furthermore, these matters may affect new tenants’ ability to obtain reimbursement for services rendered, which could adversely affect their ability to pay rent to us and to pay principal and interest on their loans from us.

Recent healthcare reform legislation may affect our revenue, if we acquire healthcare-related facilities.

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Healthcare and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 were signed into law. Together, the two Acts serve as the primary vehicle for comprehensive healthcare reform in the United States. The Acts are intended to reduce the number of individuals in the United States without health insurance and effect significant other changes to the ways in which healthcare is organized, delivered and reimbursed. The complexities and ramifications of the new legislation are significant, and will be implemented in a phased approach beginning in 2010 and concluding in 2018. At this time, the effects of healthcare reform and its impact on our business, if we acquire healthcare-related facilities, are not yet known.

Reductions in reimbursement from third-party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, could adversely affect the profitability of tenants at any healthcare-related facilities that we may acquire, and hinder their ability to make rent payments to us.

Sources of revenue for tenants and operators at any healthcare-related facilities that we may acquire may include the federal Medicare program, state Medicaid programs, private insurance carriers and health maintenance organizations, among others. Efforts by these payors to reduce healthcare costs will likely continue, which may result in reductions or slower growth in reimbursement for certain services provided by some of these tenants. In addition, the failure of any of our tenants to comply with various laws and regulations could jeopardize their ability to continue participating in Medicare, Medicaid and other government-sponsored payment programs.

The healthcare industry continues to face various challenges, including increased government and private payor pressure on healthcare providers to control or reduce costs. We believe that tenants at healthcare-related facilities will continue to experience a shift in payor mix away from fee-for-service payors, resulting in an increase in the percentage of revenues attributable to managed care payors, government payors and general industry trends that include pressures to control healthcare costs. Pressures to control healthcare costs and a shift away from traditional health insurance reimbursement have resulted in an increase in the number of patients whose healthcare coverage is provided under managed care plans, such as health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations. In addition, due to the aging of the population and the expansion of governmental payor programs, we anticipate that there will be a marked increase in the number of patients reliant on healthcare coverage provided by governmental payors. These changes could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of tenants at our healthcare-related facilities.

Tenants of any medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities that we may acquire may be subject to significant legal action that could subject them to increased operating costs and substantial uninsured liabilities, which may affect their ability to pay their rent payments to us.

Certain types of tenants of medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities may often become subject to claims that their services have resulted in patient injury or other adverse effects. The insurance coverage maintained by these tenants may neither cover all claims made against them nor continue to be available at a

 

14


Table of Contents

reasonable cost, if at all. In some states, insurance coverage for the risk of punitive damages arising from professional liability and general liability claims or litigation may not, in certain cases, be available due to state law. Tenants in these states may be liable for punitive damage awards that are either not covered or that exceed their insurance policy limits. We also believe that there has been, and will continue to be, an increase in governmental investigations of certain healthcare providers, particularly in the area of Medicare/Medicaid false claims, as well as an increase in enforcement actions resulting from these investigations. Insurance is not typically available to cover these losses. Any adverse determination in a legal proceeding or governmental investigation, whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material adverse effect on a tenant’s financial condition. If a tenant is unable to obtain or maintain insurance coverage, if judgments exceed their insurance coverage, if a tenant is required to pay uninsured punitive damages, or if a tenant is subject to an uninsurable government enforcement action, the tenant could be exposed to substantial additional liabilities, which may affect the tenant’s ability to pay rent.

Delays in collecting accounts receivable by tenants at any healthcare-related facilities that we may acquire could adversely affect their cash flows and financial condition and their ability to meet their obligations to us.

Billing and collection of accounts receivable by our tenants at healthcare-related facilities are subject to the complex regulations that govern Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement and rules imposed by non-government payors. If these tenants fail to bill and collect on a timely basis in accordance with these regulations and rules, they could be subject to payment delays that could negatively impact their cash flows and ultimately their financial condition and their ability to meet their obligations to us.

Short-term leases may expose us to the effects of declining market rent.

Certain types of the properties we own, such as multi-family properties, typically have short-term leases, generally one year or less, with tenants. There is no assurance that we will be able to renew these leases as they expire or attract replacement tenants on comparable terms, if at all.

If we acquire student housing properties, we may be exposed to the annual leasing cycle of student housing properties, changing university admission and housing policies, and other risks inherent in the student housing industry.

Student housing properties must be almost entirely re-leased each year. Thus, if we acquire this type of property, we will be exposed to increased leasing risk. These facilities are highly dependent on the effectiveness of their marketing and leasing efforts and personnel during the late summer and early fall re-leasing season. Changes in university admission policies can also adversely affect student housing properties, such as requirements that freshman, or other classes of students, live in a university-owned facility, resulting in lower occupancy rates for other facilities. Additionally, many colleges and universities own and operate their own competing on-campus housing, offering better proximity to the campus and on-campus facilities. Colleges and universities can generally avoid real estate taxes and borrow funds at lower interest rates than us, thereby enabling them to offer lower rental rates than competing facilities and negatively impacting our property occupancy or rental rates. Federal and state requirements to publish reports of crime or other negative publicity regarding the safety of the students residing on, or near, our student housing properties may have an adverse effect on the operations of these types of properties.

Your investment may be subject to additional risks if we invest in public infrastructure assets.

Your investment may be subject to additional risks if we invest in public infrastructure assets. Public infrastructure assets are subject to different operating risks than more traditional investments in real properties. These risks include, but are not limited to:

 

   

operational problems or supply disruption at a facility;

 

   

disruptions caused by significant catastrophic events, such as major plant breakdowns, pipeline or electricity line ruptures, or other disasters;

 

15


Table of Contents
   

the imposition of special tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies and accounting standards;

 

   

a change in the number of users who use the assets, which could negatively impact our profitability; and

 

   

general changes in market sentiment towards infrastructure assets.

Moreover, acquiring infrastructure assets often involves an ongoing commitment to a governmental agency. The nature of these commitments exposes the owners of infrastructure assets to a higher level of regulatory control and risk than typically imposed on other businesses or real estate assets. Cash flows from these assets may be disrupted or altered by an adverse change in regulation by various government authorities, including regulation of rates charged to customers.

In addition, specific infrastructure assets may face completely unique risks. For example, in the case of private toll roads, there are risks relating to improper grading, improper lane design and improper access. States and the federal government generally do not face suits relating to these factors because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity, which would not apply to a private toll road operator. Thus, absent specific protective legislation, any person injured on a private toll road may sue the toll road owner. As another example, correctional facilities entail heightened risks associated with fire safety (due to prisoner incarceration and the inability to quickly exit a burning facility), design (prison population control issues and non-inmate safety), and potentially high construction costs associated with security features. Additionally, government agencies are the only likely lessees, thus reducing the competitive pressures for high lease rates. Also potentially affecting lease rates would be demand for cells, which could decline dramatically because of a variety of factors, most particularly the crime rate, but also factors such as prison sentence guidelines and parole policies.

Inflation may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Increases in the rate of inflation may adversely affect our net operating income from leases with stated rent increases or limits on the tenant’s obligation to pay its share of operating expenses, which could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time. Inflation could also have an adverse effect on consumer spending, which may impact our tenants’ sales and, with respect to those leases including percentage rent clauses, our average rents.

Operating expenses may increase in the future and to the extent these increases cannot be passed on to our tenants, our cash flow and our operating results would decrease.

Operating expenses, such as expenses for fuel, utilities, labor, building materials and insurance are not fixed and may increase in the future. There is no guarantee that we will be able to pass these increases on to our tenants. To the extent these increases cannot be passed on to our tenants, any increases would cause our cash flow and our operating results to decrease.

We depend on the availability of public utilities and services, especially for water and electric power. Any reduction, interruption or cancellation of these services may adversely affect us.

Public utilities, especially those that provide water and electric power, are fundamental for the sound operation of our assets. The delayed delivery or any material reduction or prolonged interruption of these services could allow certain tenants to terminate their leases or result in an increase in our costs, as we may be forced to use backup generators, which also could be insufficient to fully operate our facilities and could result in our inability to provide services. Accordingly, any interruption or limitation in the provision of these essential services may adversely affect us.

Table of Contents

An increase in real estate taxes may decrease our income from properties.

Some local real property tax assessors may seek to reassess some of our properties as a result of our acquisition of the property. Generally, from time to time our property taxes will increase as property values or assessment rates change or for other reasons deemed relevant by the assessors. An increase in the assessed valuation of a property for real estate tax purposes will result in an increase in the related real estate taxes on that property. Although some tenant leases may permit us to pass through the tax increases to the tenants for payment, there is no assurance that renewal leases or future leases will be negotiated on the same basis. Increases not passed through to tenants will adversely affect our income, cash available for distributions, and the amount of distributions.

CC&Rs may restrict our ability to operate a property.

We may acquire properties that are contiguous to other parcels of real property, comprising part of the same commercial center. These properties may be subject to significant covenants, conditions and restrictions, known as “CC&Rs,” that restrict our operation of these properties and any improvements on these properties, and our ability to grant easements on such properties. Moreover, the operation and management of contiguous properties may impact those properties. Compliance with CC&Rs may adversely affect our operating costs.

We will not own or control the land in any ground lease properties that we may acquire .

We may acquire property on land owned by a governmental entity or other third party, while we own a leasehold, permit, or similar interest. This means that while we have a right to use the property, we do not retain fee ownership in the underlying land. Accordingly, we will have no economic interest in the land or building at the expiration of the ground lease or permit. As a result, we will not share in any increase in value of the land associated with the underlying property. Further, because we do not control the underlying land, the lessor could take certain actions to disrupt our rights in the property or our tenants’ operation of the properties or the case of a governmental entity, take the property in an eminent domain proceeding.

We may be unable to sell assets if or when we decide to do so.

Maintaining our REIT qualification and continuing to avoid registration under the Investment Company Act as well as many other factors, such as general economic conditions, the availability of financing, interest rates and the supply and demand for the particular asset type, may limit our ability to sell real estate assets. These factors are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any real estate asset on favorable terms and conditions, if at all, or the length of time needed to sell an asset.

If we sell properties by providing financing to purchasers, we will bear the risk of default by the purchaser.

We may, from time to time, sell a property or other asset by providing financing to the purchaser. There are no limits or restrictions on our ability to accept purchase money obligations secured by a mortgage as payment for the purchase price. The terms of payment to us will be affected by custom in the area where the property being sold is located and then-prevailing economic conditions. If we receive promissory notes or other property in lieu of cash from property sales, the distribution of the proceeds of sales to our stockholders, or reinvestment in other properties, will be delayed until the promissory notes or other property are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed. In some cases, we may receive initial down payments in cash and other property in the year of sale in an amount less than the selling price and subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years. We will bear the risk of default by the purchaser and may incur significant litigation costs in enforcing our rights against the purchaser.

If a sale-leaseback transaction is re-characterized in a tenant’s bankruptcy proceeding, our financial condition could be adversely affected.

We may enter into sale-leaseback transactions, whereby we would purchase a property and then lease the same property back to the person from whom we purchased it. In the event of the bankruptcy of a tenant, a transaction structured as a sale-leaseback may be re-characterized as either a financing or a joint venture, either of which outcomes could adversely affect our financial condition, cash flow and the amount available for distributions to you.

If the sale-leaseback were re-characterized as a financing, we might not be considered the owner of the property, and as a result would have the status of a creditor in relation to the tenant. In that event, we would no longer have the right to sell or encumber our ownership interest in the property. Instead, we would have a claim against the tenant for the amounts owed under the lease, with the claim arguably secured by the property. The tenant/debtor might have the ability to propose a plan restructuring the term, interest rate and amortization schedule of its outstanding balance. If confirmed by the bankruptcy court, we could be bound by the new terms, and prevented from foreclosing our lien on the property. If the sale-leaseback were re-characterized as a joint venture, we and our lessee could be treated as co-venturers with regard to the property. As a result, we could be held liable, under some circumstances, for debts incurred by the lessee relating to the property.

Uninsured losses or premiums for insurance coverage may adversely affect your returns.

The nature of the activities at certain properties we may acquire will expose us and our tenants or operators to potential liability for personal injuries and, in certain instances, property damage claims. In addition, there are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with potential terrorist acts could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims. Mortgage lenders generally require property owners to purchase specific coverage insuring against terrorism as a condition for providing mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans. These policies may or may not be available at a reasonable cost, if at all, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our properties. In such instances, we may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. We cannot assure you that we will have adequate coverage for these losses. In the event that any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully covered by insurance, the value of the particular asset will likely be reduced by the uninsured loss. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to fund any uninsured losses.

Potential development and construction delays and resulting increased costs and risks may hinder our operating results and decrease our net income.

We have acquired, and may again in the future acquire, unimproved real property or properties that are under development or construction. Investments in these properties will be subject to the uncertainties associated with the development and construction of real property, including those related to re-zoning land for development, environmental concerns of governmental entities or community groups and the developers’ ability to complete the property in conformity with plans, specifications, budgeted costs and timetables. If a developer fails to perform, we may resort to legal action to rescind the purchase or the construction contract or to compel performance. A developer’s performance may also be affected or delayed by conditions beyond the developer’s control. Delays in completing construction could also give tenants the right to terminate preconstruction leases. We may incur additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or other advances to developers before they complete construction. These and other factors can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment. In addition, we will be subject to normal lease-up risks relating to newly constructed projects. We also must rely on rental income and expense projections and estimates of the fair market value of property upon completion of construction when agreeing upon a purchase price at the time we acquire the property. If our projections are inaccurate, we may pay too much for a property, and the return on our investment could suffer.

If we contract with a development company for newly developed property, our earnest money deposit made to the development company may not be fully refunded.

We may enter into one or more contracts, either directly or indirectly through joint ventures with affiliates or others, to acquire real property from a development company that is engaged in construction and development of commercial real properties. Properties acquired from a development company may be either existing income-producing properties, properties to be developed or properties under development. We anticipate that we will be obligated to pay a substantial earnest money deposit at the time of contracting to acquire these properties. In the case of properties to be developed by a development company, we anticipate that we will be required to close the purchase of the property upon completion of the development of the property. At the time of contracting and the payment of the earnest money deposit by us, the development company typically will not have acquired title to any real property. Typically, the development company will only have a contract to acquire land, a development agreement to develop a building on the land and an agreement with one or more tenants to lease all or part of the property upon its completion. We may enter into a contract with the development company even if at the time we enter into the contract we have not yet raised sufficient proceeds in our offering to enable us to close the purchase of such property. However, we may not be required to close a purchase from the development company, and may be entitled to a refund of our earnest money, in the following circumstances:

 

   

the development company fails to develop the property;

 

   

all or a specified portion of the pre-leased tenants fail to take possession under their leases for any reason; or

 

   

we are unable to raise sufficient proceeds from our offering to pay the purchase price at closing.

The obligation of the development company to refund our earnest money will be unsecured, and we may not be able to obtain a refund of such earnest money deposit from it under these circumstances since the development company may be an entity without substantial assets or operations.

We may obtain only limited warranties when we purchase a property and would have only limited recourse in the event our due diligence did not identify any issues that lower the value of our property.

The seller of a property often sells the property in its “as is” condition on a “where is” basis and “with all faults,” without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase agreements may contain only limited warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. The purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk that we may lose some or all of our invested capital in the property, as well as the loss of rental income from that property.

We may acquire properties in regions that are particularly susceptible to natural disasters.

We have acquired properties located in geographical areas, including Florida, Louisiana and Texas, that are regularly impacted by severe storms, hurricanes, and flooding. In addition, according to some experts, global climate change could result in heightened hurricane activity, thus further impacting these geographical areas. Natural disasters in these areas may cause damage to our properties beyond the scope of our insurance coverage, thus requiring us to make substantial expenditures to repair these properties and resulting in a loss of revenues from these properties. Any properties located near the coast will be exposed to more severe weather than properties located inland. Elements such as salt water and humidity in these areas can increase or accelerate wear on the properties’ weatherproofing and mechanical, electrical and other systems, and cause mold issues over time. As a result, we may incur additional operating costs and expenditures for capital improvements at properties that we acquire in these areas.

The costs of complying with environmental laws and other governmental laws and regulations may adversely affect us.

All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals. We also are required to comply with various local, state and federal fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations. Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on tenants, owners or operators for the costs of investigating or remediating contaminated properties. These laws and regulations often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances. The cost of removing or remediating could be substantial. In addition, the presence of these substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent a property or to use the property as collateral for borrowing.

Environmental laws and regulations also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures by us. Environmental laws and regulations provide for sanctions in the event of noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances. Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretations of existing laws may require material expenditures by us. For example, various federal, regional and state laws and regulations have been implemented or are under consideration to mitigate the effects of climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Among other things, “green” building codes may seek to reduce emissions through the imposition of standards for design, construction materials, water and energy usage and efficiency, and waste management. These requirements could increase the costs of maintaining or improving our existing properties or developing new properties.

Our properties may contain or develop harmful mold, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediating the problem.

The presence of mold at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly program to remediate, contain or remove the mold. Mold growth may occur when moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing because exposure to mold may cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. The presence of mold could expose us to liability from our tenants, their employees and others if property damage or health concerns arise.

We may incur significant costs to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act or similar laws.

Our properties generally are subject to the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, which we refer to as the Disabilities Act. Under the Disabilities Act, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The Disabilities Act has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. In addition, with respect to any apartment properties, we also must comply with the Fair Housing Amendment Act of 1988, or “FHAA,” which requires that apartment communities first occupied after March 13, 1991 be accessible to handicapped residents and visitors.

The requirements of the Disabilities Act or FHAA could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages. We attempt to acquire properties that comply with the Disabilities Act and the FHAA or place the burden on the seller or other

third party, such as a tenant, to ensure compliance with these laws. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to acquire properties or allocate responsibilities in this manner. We may incur significant costs to comply with these laws.

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may affect the markets in which we operate, our operations and our profitability.

We may acquire real estate assets located in areas that are susceptible to attack. In addition, any kind of terrorist activity, including terrorist acts against public institutions or buildings or modes of public transportation (including airlines, trains or buses) could lessen travel by the public, which could have a negative effect on any of our lodging operations. These attacks may directly impact the value of our assets through damage, destruction, loss or increased security costs. Although we may obtain terrorism insurance, we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage to fund any losses we may incur. Risks associated with potential acts of terrorism could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims. Further, certain losses resulting from these types of events are uninsurable or not insurable at reasonable costs.

More generally, any terrorist attack, other act of violence or war, including armed conflicts, could result in increased volatility in, or damage to, the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy. Any terrorist incident may, for example, deter people from traveling, which could affect the ability of our lodging properties to generate operating income and therefore our ability to pay distributions to you. Additionally, increased economic volatility could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to pay rent on their leases or our ability to borrow money or issue capital stock at acceptable prices.

We may have increased exposure to liabilities as a result of any participation by us in Section 1031 Exchange Transactions.

We may enter into transactions that qualify for like-kind exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the Code, referred to herein as “1031 Exchange Transactions.” Real estate acquired through a 1031 Exchange Transaction is commonly structured as the acquisition of real estate owned in co-tenancy arrangements as tenants-in-common with persons (referred to as “1031 Participants”), generally held in tax pass-through entities, including single-member limited liability companies or similar entities. Changes in tax laws may adversely affect 1031 Exchange Transactions. Owning co-tenancy interests involves risks generally not otherwise present with an investment in real estate such as:

 

   

the risk that a co-tenant may at any time have economic or business interests or goals that are or that become inconsistent with our business interests or goals;

 

   

the risk that a co-tenant may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives; or

 

   

the possibility that a co-tenant might become insolvent or bankrupt, which may be an event of default under mortgage loan financing documents or allow a bankruptcy court to reject the tenants in common agreement or management agreement entered into by the co-tenants owning interests in the property.

Actions by a co-tenant might have the result of subjecting the property to liabilities in excess of those contemplated and may have the effect of reducing your returns.

If our interests become adverse to those of the other co-tenants in a 1031 Exchange Transaction, we may not have the contractual right to purchase the co-tenancy interests from the other co-tenants. Even if we are given the opportunity to purchase the co-tenancy interests, we cannot guarantee that we will have sufficient funds available to complete a purchase.

In addition, we may desire to sell our co-tenancy interests in a given property at a time when the other co-tenants do not desire to sell their interests. Therefore, we may not be able to sell our interest in a property at the time we

 

21


Table of Contents

would like to sell. We also expect it to be more difficult to find a willing buyer for our co-tenancy interests in a property than it would be to find a buyer for a property we owned outright. Further, agreements that contain obligations to acquire unsold co-tenancy interests in properties may be viewed by institutional lenders as a contingent liability against our cash or other assets, limiting our ability to borrow funds in the future.

Risks Related to Investments in Other Real Estate Assets

Through owning equity interests in REITs or other real estate operating companies that invest in real estate or real estate-related assets, we are subject to the risks impacting each entity’s assets.

We have invested, and may continue to invest, in real estate-related securities. Equity securities are always unsecured and subordinated to other obligations of the issuer. Investments in real estate-related equity securities are subject to numerous risks including: (1) limited liquidity in the secondary trading market in the case of unlisted or thinly traded securities; (2) substantial market price volatility resulting from, among other things, changes in prevailing interest rates in the overall market or related to a specific issuer, as well as changing investor perceptions of the market as a whole, REIT or real estate securities in particular or the specific issuer in question; (3) subordination to the liabilities of the issuer; (4) the possibility that earnings of the issuer may be insufficient to meet its debt service obligations or to pay distributions; and (5) with respect to investments in real estate-related preferred equity securities, the operation of mandatory sinking fund or call/redemption provisions during periods of declining interest rates that could cause the issuer to redeem the securities. In addition, investments in real estate-related securities involve special risks relating to the particular issuer of the securities, including the financial condition and business outlook of the issuer. Issuers of real estate-related securities generally invest in real estate or real estate-related assets and are subject to the inherent risks associated with real estate-related investments discussed herein. Investing in real estate-related securities exposes our results of operations and financial condition to the factors impacting the trading prices of publicly-traded entities.

Recent market conditions and the risk of continued market deterioration may reduce the value of any real estate related securities in which we may invest.

Mortgage loans experienced increasing rates of delinquency, foreclosure and loss during the recent dislocations in the world credit markets. These and other related events significantly impacted the capital markets associated not only with mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations, but also with the credit and financial markets as a whole. Investing significant amounts in real estate-related securities, including CMBS, will expose our results of operations and financial condition to the volatility of the credit markets.

Because there may be significant uncertainty in the valuation of, or in the stability of the value of, certain securities holdings, the fair values of these investments might not reflect the prices that we would obtain if we sold these investments. Furthermore, these investments are subject to rapid changes in value caused by sudden developments that could have a material adverse effect on the value of these investments.

To the extent that these volatile market conditions persist or deteriorate, they may negatively impact our ability to both acquire and potentially sell our real estate related securities holdings at a price and on terms acceptable to us, and we may be required to recognize impairment charges or unrealized losses.

Our investments in mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans as well as our investments in CMBS and other debt may be affected by unfavorable real estate market conditions, which could decrease the value of those assets.

If we make, or invest in, mortgage, mezzanine or other real estate-related loans, we will be at risk of defaults by the borrowers on those loans. These defaults may be caused by many conditions beyond our control, including interest rate levels and local and other economic conditions affecting real estate values. We will not know whether the value of the properties ultimately securing our loans will remain at the level existing on the date of

 

22


Table of Contents

origination. If the value of the underlying properties decreases, our risk will increase because of the lower value of the security associated with such loans. Our investments in CMBS and other real estate-related debt will be similarly affected by real estate market conditions.

If we make, or invest in, mortgage, mezzanine, bridge or other real estate-related loans, our loans will be subject to interest rate fluctuations that will affect our returns as compared to market interest rates; accordingly, the value of your investment would be subject to fluctuations in interest rates.

If we make, or invest in, fixed-rate, long-term loans and interest rates rise, the loans could yield a return that is lower than then-current market rates. If interest rates decrease, we will be adversely affected to the extent that loans are prepaid because we may not be able to make new loans at the higher interest rate. If we invest in variable-rate loans and interest rates decrease, our revenues will also decrease. For these reasons, if we invest in mortgage, mezzanine, bridge or other real estate-related loans, our returns on those loans and the value of your investment will be subject to fluctuations in interest rates.

The CMBS in which we invest are subject to all of the risks of the underlying mortgage loans and the risks of the securitization process.

CMBS are securities that evidence interests in, or are secured by, a single commercial mortgage loan or a pool of commercial mortgage loans. Accordingly, these securities are subject to all of the risks of the underlying mortgage loans.

In a rising interest rate environment, the value of CMBS may be adversely affected when payments on underlying mortgages do not occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the security’s effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate sensitivity of a longer-term instrument. The value of CMBS may also change due to shifts in the market’s perception of issuers and regulatory or tax changes adversely affecting the mortgage securities market as a whole. In addition, CMBS are subject to the credit risk associated with the performance of the underlying mortgage properties. In certain instances, third-party guarantees or other forms of credit support designed to reduce credit risk may not be effective due, for example, to defaults by third-party guarantors.

CMBS are also subject to several risks created through the securitization process. Generally, CMBS are issued in classes or tranches similar to mortgage loans. To the extent that we invest in a subordinate class or tranche, we will be paid interest only to the extent that there are funds available after paying the senior class. To the extent the collateral pool includes delinquent loans, subordinate classes will likely not be fully paid. Subordinate CMBS are also subject to greater credit risk than those CMBS that are more highly rated. Further, the ratings assigned to any particular class of CMBS may prove to be inaccurate. Thus, any particular class of CMBS may be riskier and more volatile than the rating may suggest, all of which may cause the returns on any CMBS investment to be less than anticipated.

Any mortgage loans that we originate or purchase will be subject to the risks of delinquency and foreclosure.

We may originate and purchase mortgage loans. Mortgage loans are subject to risks of delinquency and foreclosure, and risks of loss. Typically we will not have recourse to the personal assets of our borrowers. The ability of a borrower to repay a loan secured by an income-producing property generally depends upon the successful operation of the property rather than upon the existence of independent income or assets of the borrower. If the net operating income of the property is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. A property’s net operating income can be affected by, among other things:

 

   

increased costs, including, with respect to any lodging properties, added costs imposed by franchisors for improvements or operating changes required, from time to time, under the franchise agreements;

 

   

poor real estate management decisions;

 

23


Table of Contents
   

property location and condition;

 

   

competition from comparable types of properties;

 

   

changes in specific industry segments;

 

   

declines in regional or local real estate values, or occupancy rates; and

 

   

increases in interest rates, real estate tax rates and other operating expenses.

We will bear the risks of loss of principal to the extent of any deficiency between the value of the collateral and the principal and accrued interest of the mortgage loan. In the event of the bankruptcy of a mortgage loan borrower, the mortgage loan to that borrower will be deemed to be collateralized only to the extent of the value of the underlying collateral at the time of bankruptcy (as determined by the bankruptcy court), and the lien securing the mortgage loan will be subject to the avoidance powers of the bankruptcy trustee or debtor-in-possession to the extent the lien is unenforceable under state law. Foreclosure of a mortgage loan can be an expensive and lengthy process that could have a substantial negative effect on our anticipated return on the foreclosed mortgage loan. We may also be forced to foreclose on certain properties, be unable to sell these properties and be forced to incur substantial expenses to operate or improve the property.

The mezzanine loans in which we may invest would involve greater risks of loss than senior loans secured by income-producing real properties.

We may invest in mezzanine loans that take the form of subordinated loans secured by second mortgages on the underlying real property or loans secured by a pledge of the ownership interests of either the entity owning the real property or the entity that owns the entity owning the real property. These types of investments involve a higher degree of risk than if we invest in the senior mortgage secured by income producing real property because if a borrower defaults on our mezzanine loan or debt senior to our loan, or in the event of a borrower bankruptcy, our mezzanine loan will be satisfied only after the senior debt is satisfied. As a result, we may not recover some or all of our investment.

The B-Notes in which we may invest may be subject to additional risks relating to the privately negotiated structure and terms of the transaction, which may result in losses to us.

We may invest in B-Notes, which are typically (1) secured by a first mortgage on a single large commercial property or group of related properties and (2) subordinated to an A-Note secured by the same first mortgage on the same collateral. As a result, if a borrower defaults, there may not be sufficient funds remaining for B-Note holders after payment to the A-Note holders. Since each transaction is privately negotiated, B-Notes can vary in their structural characteristics and risks. For example, the rights of holders of B-Notes to control the process following a borrower default may be limited in certain investments. We cannot predict the terms of each B-Note investment. Further, B-Notes typically are secured by a single property, and so reflect the increased risks associated with a single property compared to a pool of properties.

Bridge loans may involve a greater risk of loss than conventional mortgage loans.

We may provide bridge loans secured by first lien mortgages on properties to borrowers who are typically seeking short-term capital to be used in an acquisition, development or refinancing of real estate. The borrower may have identified an undervalued asset that has been undermanaged or is located in a recovering market. The market in which the asset is located may not recover according to the borrower’s projections, or if the borrower fails to improve the quality of the asset’s management or the value of the asset, the borrower may not receive a sufficient return on the asset to satisfy the bridge loan, and we may not recover some or all of our investment.

In addition, owners usually borrow funds under a conventional mortgage loan to repay a bridge loan. In these cases, we may be exposed to a borrower’s ability to obtain permanent financing to repay our bridge loan, which could depend on market conditions and other factors. Bridge loans are also subject to risks of borrower defaults,

 

24


Table of Contents

bankruptcies, fraud, losses and special hazard losses that are not covered by standard hazard insurance. In the event of any default under bridge loans held by us, we bear the risk of loss of principal and nonpayment of interest and fees to the extent of any deficiency between the value of the mortgage collateral and the principal amount of the bridge loan. To the extent we suffer such losses with respect to our investments in bridge loans, the value of our company and of our common stock may be adversely affected.

Investment in non-conforming and non-investment grade loans may involve increased risk of loss.

Loans we may acquire or originate may not conform to conventional loan criteria applied by traditional lenders and may not be rated or may be rated as “non-investment grade.” Non-investment grade ratings for these loans typically result from the overall leverage of the loans, the lack of a strong operating history for the properties underlying the loans, the borrowers’ credit history, the properties’ underlying cash flow or other factors. As a result, loans we acquire or originate may have a higher risk of default and loss than conventional loans. Any loss we incur may reduce distributions to stockholders and adversely affect the value of our common stock.

We may be required to repurchase loans that we have sold.

If any of the loans we originate or acquire and sell do not comply with representations and warranties that we make about certain characteristics of the loans, the borrowers and the underlying properties, we may be required to repurchase those loans or replace them with substitute loans. In addition, in the case of loans that we have sold instead of retained, we may be required to indemnify persons for losses or expenses incurred as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty. Repurchased loans typically require a significant allocation of working capital to be carried on our books, and our ability to borrow against such assets may be limited. Any significant repurchases or indemnification payments could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

Risks Associated with Debt Financing

Continued volatility in the financial markets and challenging economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to secure debt financing on attractive terms and our ability to service any future indebtedness that we may incur.

The domestic and international commercial real estate debt markets continue to be very volatile as a result of, among other things, the tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies. This is resulting in less availability of credit and increasing costs for what is available. If the overall cost of borrowing increases, either by increases in the index rates or by increases in lender spreads, the increased costs may result in existing or future acquisitions generating lower overall economic returns and potentially reducing future cash flow available for distribution. If these disruptions in the debt markets persist, our ability to borrow monies to finance the purchase of, or other activities related to, real estate assets will be negatively impacted. If we are unable to borrow monies on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, we likely will have to reduce the number of properties we can purchase, and the return on the properties we do purchase may be lower. In addition, we may find it difficult, costly or impossible to refinance indebtedness which is maturing.

Further, economic conditions could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values in our real estate portfolio and in the collateral securing any loan investments we may make, which could have various negative impacts. Specifically, the value of collateral securing any loan investment we may make could decrease below the outstanding principal amounts of such loans, requiring us to pledge more collateral.

Table of Contents

Borrowings may reduce the funds available for distribution and increase the risk of loss since defaults may cause us to lose the properties securing the loans.

We typically borrow money to finance a portion of the purchase price of assets that we acquire. We may also borrow money for other purposes to, among other things, satisfy the requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our “REIT annual taxable income,” subject to certain adjustments, to our stockholders, or as is otherwise necessary or advisable to assure that we continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Over the long term, however, payments required on any amounts we borrow reduce the funds available for, among other things, acquisitions, capital expenditures for existing properties or distributions to our stockholders because cash otherwise available for these purposes is used to pay principal and interest on this debt.

Defaults on loans secured by a property or properties we own may result in us losing the property or properties securing the loan that is in default as a result of foreclosure actions initiated by a lender. For tax purposes, a foreclosure is treated as a sale of the property or properties for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the property or properties. If the outstanding balance of the debt exceeds our tax basis in the property or properties, we would recognize taxable gain on the foreclosure but would not receive any cash proceeds. We also may fully or partially guarantee any monies that subsidiaries borrow to purchase or operate properties. In these cases, we will likely be responsible to the lender for repaying the loans if the subsidiary is unable to do so. If any mortgage contains cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, more than one property may be affected by a default.

If we are unable to borrow at favorable rates, we may not be able to acquire new assets.

If we are unable to borrow money at favorable rates, we may be unable to acquire additional real estate assets or refinance existing loans at maturity. Further, we may enter into loan agreements or other credit arrangements that require us to pay interest on amounts we borrow at variable or “adjustable” rates. Increases in interest rates increase our interest costs. If interest rates are higher when we refinance our loans, our expenses will increase and we may not be able to pass on this added cost in the form of increased rents, thereby reducing our cash flow and the amount available for distribution to you. Further, during periods of rising interest rates, we may be forced to sell one or more of our properties in order to repay existing loans, which may not permit us to maximize the return on the particular properties being sold.

Lenders may restrict certain aspects of our operations, which could, among other things, limit our ability to make distributions to you.

The terms and conditions contained in any of our loan documents may require us to maintain cash reserves, limit the aggregate amount we may borrow on a secured and unsecured basis, require us to satisfy restrictive financial covenants, prevent us from entering into certain business transactions, such as a merger, sale of assets or other business combination, restrict our leasing operations or require us to obtain consent from the lender to complete transactions or make investments that are ordinarily approved only by our board of directors. In addition, secured lenders may restrict our ability to discontinue insurance coverage on a mortgaged property even though we may believe that the insurance premiums paid to insure against certain losses, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, are greater than the potential risk of loss. Our Credit Facility, in particular, contains certain financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, leverage ratios, coverage ratios, as well as limitations on our ability to incur secured indebtedness. The Credit Facility also contains customary default provisions including the failure to timely pay debt service issued thereunder and the failure to comply with the financial and operating covenants. These covenants could limit our ability to obtain additional funds needed to address liquidity needs or pursue future acquisitions. In addition, the failure to comply with any of these covenants could cause a default and accelerate payment of advances under the Credit Facility. Violating the covenants would likely result in us incurring higher financing costs and fees or an acceleration of the maturity date of advances under the Credit Facility all of which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents

Interest-only indebtedness may increase our risk of default and ultimately may reduce our funds available for distribution to our stockholders.

We have obtained, and may continue to enter into, mortgage indebtedness that does not require us to pay principal for all or a portion of the life of the debt instrument. During the period when no principal payments are required, the amount of each scheduled payment is less than that of a traditional amortizing mortgage loan. The principal balance of the mortgage loan is not reduced (except in the case of prepayments). After the interest-only period, we may be required either to make scheduled payments of principal and interest or to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at or prior to maturity. These required principal or balloon payments will increase the amount of our scheduled payments and may increase our risk of default under the related mortgage loan if we do not have funds available or are unable to refinance the obligation.

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

We have borrowed money, including under our Credit Facility, which bears interest at variable rates, and therefore are exposed to increases in costs in a rising interest rate environment. Increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense on any variable rate debt, as well as any debt that must be refinanced at higher interest rates at the time of maturity. Our future earnings and cash flows could be adversely affected due to the increased requirement to service our debt and could reduce the amount we are able to distribute to our stockholders.

We may acquire or finance properties with lock-out provisions, which may prohibit us from selling a property, or may require us to maintain specified debt levels for a period of years on some properties.

The terms of any loan that we may enter into may preclude us from pre-paying the principal amount of the loan or could restrict us from selling or otherwise disposing of or refinancing properties. For example, lock-out provisions may prohibit us from reducing the outstanding indebtedness secured by any of our properties, refinancing this indebtedness on a non-recourse basis at maturity, or increasing the amount of indebtedness secured by our properties. Lock-out provisions could impair our ability to take other actions during the lock-out period. In particular, lock-out provisions could preclude us from participating in major transactions that could result in a disposition of our assets or a change in control even though that disposition or change in control might be in the best interests of our stockholders.

To hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we may use derivative financial instruments that may be costly and ineffective.

We have and may continue to employ various hedging strategies to limit the effect of changes in interest rates, including engaging in interest rate swaps, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, options or repurchase agreements. Our actual hedging decisions are determined in light of the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge, and in accordance with our investment policies. Hedging transactions involve certain additional risks such as credit risk, market risk and legal enforceability risks. In this context, credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of the financial instrument that results from changes in interest rates. Finally, legal enforceability risks encompass general contractual risks including the risk that the counterparty will breach the terms of, or fail to perform its obligations under, the derivative contract. A counterparty could fail, shut down, file for bankruptcy or be unable to pay out contracts. The business failure of a hedging counterparty with whom we enter into a hedging transaction will most likely result in a default. Default by a party with whom we enter into a hedging transaction may result in the loss of unrealized profits and force us to cover our resale commitments, if any, at the then current market price. Although generally we will seek to reserve the right to terminate our hedging positions, it may not always be possible to dispose of or close out a hedging position without the consent of the hedging counterparty, and we may not be able to enter into an offsetting contract to

cover our risk. We cannot provide assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for hedging instruments purchased or sold, and we may be required to maintain a position until exercise or expiration, which could result in losses.

We may be contractually obligated to purchase property even if we are unable to secure financing for the acquisition.

We typically finance a portion of the purchase price for each property that we acquire. However, to ensure that our offers are as competitive as possible, we generally do not enter into contracts to purchase property that include financing contingencies. Thus, we may be contractually obligated to purchase a property even if we are unable to secure financing for the acquisition. In this event, we may choose to close on the property by using cash on hand, which would result in less cash available for our operations and distributions to stockholders. Alternatively, we may choose not to close on the acquisition of the property and default on the purchase contract. If we default on any purchase contract, we could lose our earnest money and become subject to liquidated or other contractual damages and remedies.

The total amount we may borrow is limited by our charter.

Our charter generally limits the total amount we may borrow to 300% of our net assets, equivalent to a 75% loan-to-asset value ratio, unless our board of directors (including a majority of our independent directors) determines that a higher level is appropriate and the excess in borrowing is disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report along with the justification for the excess. This limit could adversely affect our business, including:

 

   

limiting our ability to purchase real estate assets;

 

   

causing us to lose our REIT status if we cannot borrow to fund the monies needed to satisfy the REIT distribution requirements;

 

   

causing operational problems if there are cash flow shortfalls for working capital purposes; and

 

   

causing the loss of a property if, for example, financing is necessary to cure a default on a mortgage.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

There are conflicts of interest between us and affiliates of our sponsor that may affect our acquisition of properties and financial performance.

During the ten years completed December 31, 2011, our sponsor and Inland Private Capital Corporation (“IPCC”) sponsored, in the aggregate, three other REITs and 107 real estate exchange private placement limited partnerships and limited liability companies. Two of the REITs, Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. and Inland Monthly Income Trust, Inc., are, or in the case of Inland Monthly Income Trust will be, managed by affiliates of our Business Manager. One other REIT, Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc., is self-managed, but our sponsor and its affiliates continue to hold a significant investment in these entities. We may be seeking to buy real estate assets at the same time as certain of these other programs. Further, certain programs sponsored by our sponsor or IPCC own and manage the type of properties that we own, and in the same geographical areas in which we own them. Therefore, our properties may compete for tenants with other properties owned and managed by these other programs. Persons performing services for our Real Estate Managers may face conflicts of interest when evaluating tenant leasing opportunities for our properties and other properties owned and managed by these programs, and these conflicts of interest may have an adverse impact on our ability to attract and retain tenants.

Table of Contents

Our sponsor may face a conflict of interest in allocating personnel and resources between its affiliates, our Business Manager and our Real Estate Managers.

We rely, to a great extent, on persons performing services for our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers and their affiliates to manage our day-to-day operations. Some of these persons also provide services to one or more investment programs previously sponsored by our sponsor. These individuals face competing demands for their time and service and may have conflicts in allocating their time between our business and assets and the business and assets of our sponsor, its affiliates and the other programs formed and organized by our sponsor. In addition, if another investment program sponsored by our sponsor decides to internalize its management functions in the future, it may do so by hiring and retaining certain of the persons currently performing services for our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers, and if it did so, would likely not allow these persons to perform services for us.

We do not have arm’s-length agreements with our Business Manager, our Real Estate Managers or any other affiliates of IREIC.

None of the agreements and arrangements with our Business Manager, our Real Estate Managers or any other affiliates of our sponsor was negotiated at arm’s-length. These agreements may contain terms and conditions that are not in our best interest and would not otherwise be applicable if we entered into arm’s length agreements with third parties.

Our Business Manager and its affiliates face conflicts of interest caused by their compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.

We pay significant fees to our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and other affiliates of our sponsor for services provided to us. Most significantly, our Business Manager receives fees based on the aggregate book value, including acquired intangibles, of our invested assets. Further, our Real Estate Managers receive fees based on the gross income from properties under management. Other parties related to, or affiliated with, our Business Manager or Real Estate Managers may also receive fees or cost reimbursements from us. These compensation arrangements may cause these entities to take or not take certain actions. For example, these arrangements may provide an incentive for our Business Manager to borrow more money than prudent to increase the amount we can invest. Ultimately, the interests of these parties in receiving fees conflict with the interest of our stockholders in earning income on their investment in our common stock.

We rely on entities affiliated with our sponsor to identify real estate assets.

We rely on Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc. (“IREA”) and other affiliates of our sponsor to identify suitable investment opportunities for us. Other public or private programs sponsored by our sponsor or IPCC also rely on these entities to identify potential investments. These entities have, in some cases, rights of first refusal or other pre-emptive rights to the properties that IREA identifies. Our right to acquire properties identified by IREA is subject to the exercise of any prior rights vested in these entities. We may not, therefore, be presented with opportunities to acquire properties that we otherwise would be interested in acquiring.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

Our board of directors may change our investment policies without stockholder approval, which could alter the nature of your investment.

Our charter requires that our independent directors review our investment policies at least annually to determine that the policies we are following are in the best interest of our stockholders. These policies may change over time. The methods of implementing our investment policies may also vary, as new investment techniques are developed. Our investment policies, the methods for implementing them, and our other objectives, policies and

 

29


Table of Contents

procedures may be altered by a majority of the directors (which must include a majority of the independent directors), without the approval of our stockholders. As a result, the nature of your investment could change without your consent. A change in our investment strategy may, among other things, increase our exposure to interest rate risk, default risk and commercial real property market fluctuations, all of which could materially adversely affect our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

Our charter authorizes us to issue additional shares of stock, which may reduce the percentage of our common stock owned by our other stockholders, subordinate your rights or discourage a third party from acquiring us.

Investors purchasing shares in our current public offering will not have preemptive rights to purchase any shares issued by us in the future. Our charter authorizes us to issue up to 2.5 billion shares of capital stock, of which 2.46 billion shares are classified as common stock and 40 million are classified as preferred stock. We may, in the sole discretion of our board:

 

   

sell additional shares in this or future offerings;

 

   

issue equity interests in a private offering of securities;

 

   

classify or reclassify any unissued shares of common or preferred stock by setting or changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications, or terms or conditions of redemption of the stock;

 

   

amend our charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares or the number of shares of any class or series that we have authority to issue;

 

   

issue shares of our capital stock in exchange for real estate assets; or

 

   

issue shares of our capital stock to our Business Manager or Real Estate Managers in connection with any business combination between us and any of them.

Future issuances of common stock will reduce the percentage of our outstanding shares owned by our other stockholders. Further, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of stock with terms and conditions that could subordinate the rights of the holders of our current common stock or have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for our stockholders.

Our rights, and the rights of our stockholders, to recover claims against our officers, directors, Business Manager and Real Estate Managers are limited.

Under our charter, we may generally indemnify our directors, our Business Manager, our Real Estate Managers and their respective affiliates for any losses or liabilities suffered by any of them and hold these persons or entities harmless for any loss or liability suffered by us as long as: (1) these persons or entities have determined in good faith that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in our best interest; (2) these persons or entities were acting on our behalf or performing services for us; (3) the loss or liability was not the result of the negligence or misconduct of the directors (gross negligence or willful misconduct of the independent directors), Business Manager, the Real Estate Managers or their respective affiliates; or (4) the indemnity or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of our net assets and not from our stockholders. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors, officers, employees and agents, our Business Manager and our Real Estate Managers and their respective affiliates, than might otherwise exist under common law. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our directors, officers, employees and agents or our Business Manager and the Real Estate Managers and their respective affiliates in some cases.

Our board of directors may, in the future, adopt certain measures under Maryland law without stockholder approval that may have the effect of making it less likely that you would receive a “control premium” for your shares.

Corporations organized under Maryland law with a class of registered securities and at least three independent directors are permitted to protect themselves from unsolicited proposals or offers to acquire the company by electing to be subject, by a charter or bylaw provision or a board of directors resolution and notwithstanding any contrary charter or bylaw provision, to any or all of five provisions:

 

   

staggering the board of directors into three classes;

 

   

requiring a two-thirds vote of stockholders to remove directors;

 

   

providing that only the board can fix the size of the board;

 

   

providing that all vacancies on the board, regardless of how the vacancy was created, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors in office and for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred; and

 

   

requiring that special stockholders meetings be called only by holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting.

These provisions may discourage an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, all of which might provide a premium price for your shares.

Further, under the Maryland Business Combination Act, we may not engage in any merger or other business combination with an “interested stockholder” or any affiliate of that interested stockholder for a period of five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder. After the five-year period ends, any merger or other business combination with the interested stockholder must be recommended by our board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:

 

   

80% of all votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of our voting stock; and

 

   

two-thirds of all of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of our voting stock other than those shares owned or held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder unless, among other things, our stockholders receive a minimum payment for their common stock equal to the highest price paid by the interested stockholder for its common stock.

Our directors have adopted a resolution exempting any business combination involving us and The Inland Group or any affiliate of The Inland Group, including our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers, from the provisions of this law.

Our charter places limits on the amount of common stock that any person may own without the prior approval of our board of directors.

To maintain our qualification as a REIT, no more than 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock may be beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of each taxable year (other than the first taxable year for which an election to be a REIT has been made). Our charter prohibits any persons or groups from owning more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding stock or more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common stock without the prior approval of our board of directors. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock. Further, any person or group attempting to purchase shares exceeding these limits could be compelled to sell the additional shares and, as a result, to forfeit the benefits of owning the additional shares.

Table of Contents

Our charter permits our board of directors to issue preferred stock on terms that may subordinate the rights of the holders of our current common stock or discourage a third party from acquiring us.

Our board of directors is permitted, subject to certain restrictions set forth in our charter, to issue up to forty million shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval. Further, our board may classify or reclassify any unissued common or preferred stock and establish the preferences, conversions or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, and terms or conditions of redemption of the stock and may increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares or the number of shares of any class or series that we have authority to issue without stockholder approval. Thus, our board of directors could authorize us to issue shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions that could subordinate the rights of the holders of our common stock or have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, that might provide a premium price for holders of our common stock.

Maryland law limits, in some cases, the ability of a third party to vote shares acquired in a “control share acquisition.”

The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act provides that “control shares” of a Maryland corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights except to the extent approved by stockholders by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares of stock owned by the acquirer, by officers or by employees who are directors of the corporation, are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. “Control shares” are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer can exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within specified ranges of voting power. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares. The control share acquisition statute does not apply (1) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction, or (2) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions of our stock by any person. There can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.

Federal Income Tax Risks

If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT, our operations and distributions to stockholders will be adversely affected.

Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex rules related to, among other things, the composition of our assets, the income generated by those assets and distributions paid to our stockholders. There are limited judicial or administrative interpretations regarding these rules. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. In addition, new legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly change the tax laws with respect to qualifying as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification.

If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, without the benefit of certain relief provisions, in any taxable year:

 

   

we would not be allowed to deduct distributions paid to stockholders when computing our taxable income;

 

   

we would be subject to federal (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and state income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates;

 

   

we would be disqualified from being taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we failed to qualify, unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions;

 

   

we would have less cash to pay distributions to stockholders; and

 

32


Table of Contents
   

we may be required to borrow additional funds or sell some of our assets in order to pay corporate tax obligations we may incur as a result of being disqualified.

In addition, if we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, we would not be required to pay distributions to stockholders, and all distributions to stockholders that we did pay would be subject to tax as regular corporate dividends to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits. This means that, under current law, which is subject to change, our U.S. stockholders who are taxed as individuals would be taxed on our dividends at long-term capital gains rates through 2012 and that our corporate stockholders would be entitled to the dividends received deduction with respect to such dividends, subject, in each case, to applicable limitations under the Code.

The taxation of distributions to our stockholders can be complex; however, distributions that we make to our stockholders generally will be taxable as ordinary income.

Distributions that we make to our taxable stockholders out of current and accumulated earnings and profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends, or, for tax years beginning before January 1, 2013, qualified dividend income) generally will be taxable as ordinary income. However, a portion of our distributions may: (1) be designated by us as capital gain dividends generally taxable as long-term capital gain to the extent that they are attributable to net capital gain recognized by us; (2) be designated by us, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013, as qualified dividend income generally to the extent they are attributable to dividends we receive from any taxable REIT subsidiaries or certain other taxable C corporations in which we own shares of stock; or (3) constitute a return of capital generally to the extent that they exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is not taxable, but has the effect of reducing the basis of a stockholder’s investment in our common stock. Distributions that exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits and a stockholder’s basis in our common stock generally will be taxable as capital gain.

If we fail to invest a sufficient amount of the net proceeds from our current public offering in real estate assets within one year from the receipt of the proceeds, we could fail to qualify as a REIT.

Temporary investment of the net proceeds from our current public offering in securities and income from these investments generally allows us to satisfy various REIT income and asset requirements, but only during the one-year period beginning on the date we receive the net proceeds. In order to satisfy these requirements, we may invest in one or more assets on terms and conditions that are not otherwise favorable to us, which ultimately could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. Alternatively, if we are unable to invest a sufficient amount of the net proceeds from sales of our stock in qualifying real estate assets within the one-year period, we could fail to satisfy one or more of the gross income or asset tests and we could be limited to investing all or a portion of any remaining funds in cash or certain cash equivalents. If we fail to satisfy any such income or asset test, unless we are entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code, we could fail to qualify as a REIT.

To maintain our REIT status, we may be forced to borrow funds during unfavorable market conditions to make distributions to our stockholders.

To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our stockholders each year 90% of our taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain. At times, we may not have sufficient funds to satisfy these distribution requirements and may need to borrow funds to make these distributions and maintain our REIT status and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes. These borrowing needs could result from: (1) differences in timing between the actual receipt of cash and inclusion of income for federal income tax purposes; (2) the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures; (3) the creation of reserves; or (4) required debt amortization payments. We may need to borrow funds at times when market conditions are unfavorable. Further, if we are unable to borrow funds when needed for this purpose, we would have to find alternative sources of funding or risk losing our status as a REIT.

Table of Contents

If we were considered to actually or constructively pay a “preferential dividend” to certain of our stockholders, our status as a REIT could be adversely affected.

The requirement that we annually distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income is determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. In order for distributions to be counted as satisfying the annual distribution requirements for REITs, and to provide us with a REIT-level tax deduction, the distributions must not be “preferential dividends.” A dividend is not a preferential dividend if the distribution is pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class, and in accordance with the preferences among different classes of stock as set forth in our organizational documents. Guidance from the Internal Revenue Service generally permits a discount in the price paid for stock purchased under a distribution reinvestment plan of up to 5% of the value of the stock without creating a preferential dividend. Currently, however, there is uncertainty as to the Internal Revenue Service’s position regarding whether certain arrangements that REITs have with their stockholders could give rise to the inadvertent payment of a preferential dividend (e.g., the pricing methodology for stock purchased under a distribution reinvestment plan inadvertently causing a greater than 5% discount on the price of such stock purchased). There is no de minimis exception with respect to preferential dividends; therefore, if the Internal Revenue Service were to take the position that we inadvertently paid a preferential dividend, we may be deemed to have failed the 90% distribution requirement, and our status as a REIT could be terminated for the year in which the determination is made if we were unable to cure such failure.

Certain of our business activities are potentially subject to the prohibited transaction tax.

Our ability to dispose of property during the first two years following acquisition is restricted to a substantial extent as a result of our REIT status. Under applicable provisions of the Code regarding prohibited transactions by REITs, we will be subject to a 100% tax on any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of any property (other than foreclosure property) we own, directly or through any wholly owned subsidiary (or entity in which we are treated as a partner), excluding our taxable REIT subsidiaries, that is deemed to be inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of trade or business. Determining whether property is inventory or otherwise held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business depends on the particular facts and circumstances surrounding each property. We cannot provide assurance that any particular property we own, directly or through any wholly owned subsidiary (or entity in which we are treated as a partner), excluding our taxable REIT subsidiaries, will not be treated as inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. The Code sets forth a safe harbor for REITs that wish to sell property without risking the imposition of the 100% tax; however there is no assurance that we will be able to qualify for the safe harbor. Even if we do not hold property for sale in the ordinary course of a trade or business, there is no assurance that our position will not be challenged by the Internal Revenue Service, especially if we make frequent sales or sales of property in which we have short holding periods.

Certain fees paid to us may affect our REIT status.

Income received in the nature of rental subsidies or rent guarantees, in some cases, may not qualify as rental income from real estate and could be characterized by the Internal Revenue Service as non-qualifying income for purposes of satisfying the 75% and 95% gross income tests required for REIT qualification. If the aggregate of non-qualifying income under the 95% gross income test in any taxable year ever exceeded 5% of our gross revenues for the taxable year or non-qualifying income under the 75% gross income test in any taxable year ever exceeded 25% of our gross revenues for the taxable year, we could lose our REIT status for that taxable year and the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT status.

Complying with the REIT requirements may force us to liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

To qualify as a REIT, we must ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, certain government securities and qualified real estate assets, including shares of stock in other REITs, certain mortgage loans and mortgage backed securities. The remainder of our investment

 

34


Table of Contents

in securities (other than qualified government securities, qualified real estate assets and taxable REIT subsidiaries) generally cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets (other than qualified government securities, qualified real estate assets and taxable REIT subsidiaries) can consist of the securities of any one issuer, and no more than 25% of the value of our total assets may be securities (including securities issued by our taxable REIT subsidiaries), excluding government securities, stock issued by our qualified REIT subsidiaries and other securities that qualify as REIT real estate assets. In order to meet these tests, we may be required to forego investments we might otherwise make. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our performance.

If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within thirty days after the end of the calendar quarter to avoid losing our REIT status and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

Recharacterization of sale-leaseback transactions may cause us to lose our REIT status.

We use commercially reasonable efforts to structure sale-leaseback transactions such that the lease will be characterized as a “true lease” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, thereby allowing us to be treated as the owner of the property for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge these characterizations. In the event that any sale-leaseback transaction is challenged and recharacterized as a financing transaction or loan for U.S. federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such property would be disallowed. If a sale-leaseback transaction were so recharacterized, we could fail to satisfy the REIT qualification “asset tests” or “income tests.” Alternatively, the amount of our REIT taxable income could be recalculated which could also cause us to fail to meet the distribution requirement for a taxable year. Failure to satisfy “asset tests,” “income tests” or the distribution requirement could cause us to lose our REIT status effective with the year of recharacterization, subject to certain cure provisions in the Code (which could require payment of a penalty to the Internal Revenue Service or an additional distribution of the increased taxable income to our stockholders).

The “taxable mortgage pool” rules may increase the taxes that we or our stockholders incur and may limit the manner in which we conduct securitizations.

If we securitize mortgages, certain of our securitizations could be considered to result in the creation of taxable mortgage pools for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, provided that we own 100% of the equity interests in a taxable mortgage pool, we generally would not be adversely affected by the characterization of the securitization as a taxable mortgage pool. Certain categories of stockholders, however, such as foreign stockholders eligible for treaty or other benefits, stockholders with net operating losses, and certain tax-exempt stockholders that are subject to unrelated business income tax, could be subject to increased taxes on a portion of their dividend income from us that is attributable to the taxable mortgage pool. In addition, to the extent that our stock is owned by tax-exempt “disqualified organizations,” such as certain government-related entities and charitable remainder trusts that are not subject to tax on unrelated business income, we will incur a corporate-level tax on a portion of our income from the taxable mortgage pool. In that case, we are authorized to reduce and intend to reduce the amount of our distributions to any disqualified organization whose stock ownership gave rise to the tax. Moreover, we would be precluded from selling equity interests in these securitizations to outside investors, or selling any debt securities issued in connection with these securitizations that might be considered to be equity interests for federal income tax purposes. These limitations may prevent us from using certain techniques to maximize our returns from securitization transactions.

Our ability to dispose of some of our properties may be constrained by their tax attributes.

Federal tax laws may limit our ability to sell properties and this may affect our ability to sell properties without adversely affecting returns to our stockholders. These restrictions may reduce our ability to respond to changes in the performance of our investments.

 

35


Table of Contents

Our ability to dispose of some of our properties is constrained by their tax attributes. Properties which we own for a significant period of time often have low tax bases. If we dispose of low-basis properties outright in taxable transactions, we may recognize a significant amount of taxable gain that we must distribute to our stockholders in order to avoid tax, and potentially, if the gain does not qualify as a net capital gain, in order to meet the minimum distribution requirements of the Code for REITs, which in turn would impact our cash flow. To dispose of low basis or tax-protected properties efficiently we may use like-kind exchanges, which qualify for non-recognition of taxable gain, but can be difficult to consummate and result in the property for which the disposed assets are exchanged inheriting their low tax bases and other tax attributes (including tax protection covenants).

You may have tax liability on distributions that you elect to reinvest in our common stock.

If you participate in our distribution reinvestment plan, you will be deemed to have received, and for income tax purposes will be taxed on, the fair market value of the share of our common stock that you receive in lieu of cash distributions. As a result, unless you are a tax-exempt entity, you will have to use funds from other sources to pay your tax liability.

In certain circumstances, we may be subject to federal, state and local income taxes as a REIT.

Even if we maintain our status as a REIT, we may become subject to federal, state and local income taxes. For example:

 

   

We will be subject to tax on any undistributed income. We will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions we pay in any calendar year plus amounts retained for which federal income tax was paid are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years.

 

   

If we have net income from the sale of foreclosure property that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or other non-qualifying income from foreclosure property, we must pay a tax on that income at the highest corporate income tax rate.

 

   

If we sell a property, other than foreclosure property, that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, our gain would be subject to the 100% “prohibited transaction” tax.

 

   

We will be subject to a 100% penalty tax on certain amounts if the economic arrangements of our tenants, our taxable REIT subsidiaries and us are not comparable to similar arrangements among unrelated parties.

Certain equity participation in mortgage loans may result in taxable income and gains from these properties, which could adversely impact our REIT status.

If we participate under a mortgage loan in any appreciation of the properties securing the mortgage loan or its cash flow and the Internal Revenue Service characterizes this participation as “equity,” we might have to recognize income, gains and other items from the property. This could affect our ability to maintain our status as a REIT.

Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively.

The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge the risks inherent to our operations. Under current law, any income that we generate from derivatives or other transactions intended to hedge our interest rate risk with respect to borrowings made or to be made to acquire or carry real estate assets generally will not constitute gross income for purposes of the 75% and 95% income requirements applicable to REITs. In addition, any income from certain other qualified hedging transactions would generally not constitute gross income for purposes of both the 75% and 95% income tests. However, we may have to limit the use of hedging techniques that might otherwise be advantageous, which could result in greater risks associated with interest rate or other changes than we would otherwise incur.

Changes to the tax laws are likely to occur, and these changes may adversely affect the taxation of a stockholder. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares or on the market value or the resale potential of our assets. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our shares.

The maximum tax rate on qualified dividends paid by corporations to individuals is 15% through 2012. REIT dividends, however, generally do not constitute qualified dividends and consequently are not eligible for the current reduced tax rates. Therefore, our stockholders will pay federal income tax on distributions out of our current and accumulated earnings and profits (excluding distributions of amounts either subject to corporate-level taxation or designated as a capital gain dividend) at the applicable “ordinary income” rate, the maximum of which is 35% through 2012. However, as a REIT, we generally would not be subject to federal or state corporate income taxes on that portion of our ordinary income or capital gain that we distribute currently to our stockholders, and we thus expect to avoid the “double taxation” to which other corporations are typically subject.

Future legislation might result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be taxed, for federal income tax purposes, as a corporation. As a result, our charter provides our board of directors with the power, under certain circumstances, to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election and cause us to be taxed as a corporation, without the vote of our stockholders. Our board of directors has fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders and could only cause changes in our tax treatment if it determines in good faith that such changes are in the best interest of our stockholders.

Item 2. Properties

We own interests in retail, office and multi-family properties. As of December 31, 2011, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, owned fee simple interests in all of the properties listed below, except for the Temple Terrace property, in which we have a controlling interest in the joint venture. The majority of properties are encumbered by mortgages totaling $463,664 (in thousands).

As of December 31, 2011, annualized base rent per square foot averaged $13.39 for all properties other than the multi-family property and $9,403 per unit for the multi-family property. Annualized base rent is calculated by annualizing the current, in-place monthly base rent for leases at the time of acquisition, including any tenant concessions, such as rent abatement or allowances, which may have been granted.

(a) Economic occupancy excludes square footage associated with an earnout component. At the time of acquisition, certain properties have an earnout component to the purchase price, meaning we did not pay a portion of the purchase price at closing for certain vacant spaces, although we own the entire property. We are not obligated to pay this contingent purchase price unless space which was vacant at the time of acquisition is later rented within the time limits and parameters set forth in the acquisition agreement.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

All dollar amounts are stated in thousands, except per share amounts.

Market Information

We are currently offering shares of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement at an offering price of $10.00 per share in our “best efforts” offering. There is no established public trading market for our shares of common stock. We do not expect that our shares will be listed for trading on a national securities exchange in the near future, if ever. Our board will determine when, and if, to apply to have our shares of common stock listed for trading on a national securities exchange, subject to satisfying existing listing requirements. Our board does not anticipate evaluating a listing on a national securities exchange until at least 2014.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or “FINRA,” requires registered broker-dealers, including the soliciting dealers selling shares in the Offering, to disclose in a customer’s account statement an estimated value for a REIT’s securities if the annual report of that REIT discloses a per share estimated value. The FINRA rules currently prohibit broker-dealers from using a per share estimated value developed from data that is more than eighteen months old. This in effect prohibits the broker-dealers from using a per share offering price from an issuer’s last “best efforts” offering for more than eighteen months after the termination of that offering. Thus, beginning eighteen months (or any lesser period of time prescribed by FINRA) after the last offering of our shares of common stock, in an effort to assist the soliciting dealers selling shares in the Offering, our board of directors anticipates publishing a new estimated per share value of our shares based on the recommendation of our Business Manager. Although the FINRA rules provide no guidance regarding the methodology used to determine estimated value per share, our board of directors has adopted a policy requiring the engagement of an independent third party (at the applicable time) to review the valuation approach used by the Business Manager to estimate the value of our shares including, the underlying assumptions made by the Business Manager and the valuation conclusion, and to make that report accessible to soliciting dealers.

Stockholders

As of March 1, 2012, we had 16,489 stockholders of record.

Distributions

We currently pay distributions based on daily record dates, payable monthly in arrears. For 2012, the distributions that we currently pay are equal to a daily amount equal to $0.001639344, which if paid each day for the 366-day period, would equal a 6.0% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we paid cash distributions, which were paid monthly in arrears to stockholders, totaling $23,641, $7,031 and $96, respectively. For federal income tax purposes for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 27%, 19% and 100% of the distributions constituted a non-dividend distribution, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

We adopted a share repurchase program, effective August 24, 2009. The program was amended and restated effective as of May 20, 2010. Under the amended program, we may make “ordinary repurchases,” which are defined as all repurchases other than upon the death of a stockholder, at prices ranging from 92.5% of the “share price,” as defined in the program, for stockholders who have owned their shares continuously for at least one year, but less than two years, to 100% of the “share price” for stockholders who have owned their shares continuously for at least four years. In the case of “exceptional repurchases,” which are defined as repurchases upon the death of a stockholder, we may repurchase shares at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the “share price.”

 

41


Table of Contents

With respect to ordinary repurchases, we may make repurchases only if we have sufficient funds available to complete the repurchase. In any given calendar month, we are authorized to use only the proceeds generated from our distribution reinvestment plan during that month to fund ordinary repurchases under the program; provided that, if we have excess funds during any particular month, we may, but are not obligated to, carry those excess funds to the subsequent calendar month for the purpose of making ordinary repurchases. Subject to funds being available, in the case of ordinary repurchases, we further will limit the number of shares repurchased during any calendar year to 5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year. With respect to exceptional repurchases, we are authorized to use all available funds to repurchase shares. In addition, the one-year holding period and 5% limit described herein will not apply to exceptional repurchases.

The share repurchase program will immediately terminate if our shares are listed on any national securities exchange. In addition, our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend (in whole or in part), or terminate our share repurchase program. In the event that we amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program, however, we will send stockholders notice of the change at least thirty days prior to the change, and we will disclose the change in a report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on either Form 8-K, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as appropriate. Further, our board reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to reject any requests for repurchases.

The table below outlines the shares of common stock we repurchased, all of which were repurchased pursuant to our share repurchase program during the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

On August 24, 2009, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-153356), covering a public offering of up to 550,000,000 shares of common stock, was declared effective by the SEC. The Offering commenced on August 24, 2009 and is ongoing. We will close the Offering to new investors on August 23, 2012.

We are offering 500,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price equal to $10.00 per share on a “best efforts” basis. We also are offering up to 50,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price equal to $9.50 per share to stockholders who elect to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan. The dealer manager of this Offering is Inland Securities Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of our Sponsor.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Certain statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Words such as “may,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but reflect the intent, belief or current expectations our management based on their knowledge and understanding of the business and industry, the economy and other future conditions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we caution stockholders not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including but not limited to the factors listed and described under “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the factors described below:

 

   

we have a limited operating history and are subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business;

 

   

our investment policies and strategies are very broad and permit us to invest in numerous types of commercial real estate;

 

   

the number and type of real estate assets we ultimately acquire depends, in part, on the proceeds raised in our public offering;

 

   

if we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fully fund distributions, some or all of our distributions may be paid from other sources, including cash flow generated by investing activities, which will reduce the amount of money available to invest in assets;

 

   

no public market currently exists, and one may never exist, for our shares, and we are not required to liquidate;

 

   

we may borrow up to 300% of our net assets, and principal and interest payments will reduce the funds available for distribution;

 

   

we do not have employees and rely on our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers to manage our business and assets;

 

   

employees of our Business Manager and three of our directors are also employed by our Sponsor or its affiliates and face competing demands for their time and service and may have conflicts in allocating their time to our business and assets;

 

   

we do not have arm’s length agreements with our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers or any other affiliates of our Sponsor;

 

   

we pay significant fees to our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and other affiliates of our Sponsor;

 

   

our Business Manager could recommend investments in an attempt to increase its fees which are generally based on a percentage of our invested assets and, in certain cases, the purchase price for the assets; and

 

   

we may fail to continue to qualify as a REIT.

Forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect our management’s view only as of the date of this Report, and may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. 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. We intend for these forward-looking statements to be covered by the applicable safe harbor provisions created by Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

The following discussion and analysis relates to the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. You should read the following discussion and analysis along with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this report. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are stated in thousands, except share data, per share amounts, rent per square foot, and rent per unit.

Overview

We are a Maryland corporation sponsored by IREIC, and formed to acquire and develop commercial real estate located in the United States and Canada. We also may invest in other real estate assets such as interests in real estate investment trusts, or REITs, or other “real estate operating companies” that own these assets, joint ventures and commercial mortgage debt. We may originate or invest in real estate-related loans made to third parties or to related parties of, or entities sponsored by, IREIC. Our primary investment objectives are to balance investing in real estate assets that produce attractive current yield and long-term risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders, with our desire to preserve stockholders’ capital and to pay sustainable and predictable distributions to our stockholders. At December 31, 2011, the Company owned 46 retail properties and two office properties collectively totaling 5,579,328 square feet and one multi-family property totaling 300 units. As of December 31, 2011, our portfolio had weighted average physical and economic occupancy of 94.7% and 97.3%, respectively. Economic occupancy excludes square footage associated with an earnout component. At the time of acquisition, certain properties have an earnout component to the purchase price, meaning we did not pay a portion of the purchase price at closing for certain vacant spaces, although we own the entire property. We are not obligated to pay this contingent purchase price unless space which was vacant at the time of acquisition is later rented within the time limits and parameters set forth in the acquisition agreement.

As of December 31, 2011, annualized base rent per square foot averaged $13.39 for all properties other than the multi-family property and $9,403 per unit for the multi-family property. Annualized base rent is calculated by annualizing the current, in-place monthly base rent for leases at the time of acquisition, including any tenant concessions, such as rent abatement or allowances, which may have been granted.

On August 24, 2009, we commenced an initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 500,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $10.00 per share on a “best efforts” basis through Inland Securities Corporation. We also are offering up to 50,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.50 per share to stockholders who elect to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan, or “DRP.” We elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with the tax year ended December 31, 2009 and intend to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

Market Outlook

There is certainly more optimism pervading the commercial real estate industry now than we have seen in the last several years. While the decrease in unemployment is only moderate, the trend toward higher levels of employment appears to be rooted in a general overall recovery that is reported by the national media as taking hold. Job creation has always been a driver of strengthening retail sales and higher occupancy levels across the majority of sectors in the commercial real estate industry.

Further enhancing the state of the commercial real estate industry is household formation which is rising from pent up demand as reported by the National Association of Realtors (“NAR”). Household formation refers to the number of dwelling units occupied by individuals or groups of people who have not previously resided individually, or have resided as part of another group. The NAR forecasts commercial vacancy rates will decline by 0.4% in the office sector, 0.8% in the industrial sector, 0.9% in the retail sector and 0.2% in the multi-family rental sector in 2012.

New development in all sectors of the commercial real estate industry, except for multi-family housing, has been down substantially over the past four years. This is significant for our business in that retail tenants seeking to

expand their businesses have fewer choices in which to do so. Retail landlords, including us, benefit from reduced competition from new product. Since the economy has been improving, developers who need capital to complete developments of preleased properties have approached us. We believe there may be opportunities for us to work with some of these developers and add properties to our acquisition pipeline at favorable pricing based on our early involvement in certain projects. If we decide to pursue these opportunities, we would do so only on a selective basis.

In our portfolio, we have seen improved levels of leasing activity and a slight uptick in rental rates over the past six months. We understand from our research, that this is consistent with results experienced by our peers. In addition, published reports in the Wall Street Journal indicate the overall returns in the REIT industry are higher than they have been in the past four years. This strengthening of fundamentals comes at a time when investor demand for quality real estate in the United States is at a very high level. We believe this should bode well for the commercial real estate industry, although we anticipate that competition we encounter from other buyers for the best properties will be substantial for the foreseeable future.

2011 Company Highlights

Specific 2011 achievements include:

 

   

Acquiring 21 properties totaling 3.1 million square feet for approximately $520,759.

 

   

Financing 21 properties through borrowing or assuming approximately $326,479 in secured first mortgages with a weighted average stated interest rate of 4.92% per annum.

 

   

Expanding our line of credit from $25,000 to $50,000 which we believe will give us more short-term financing flexibility to timely close properties in our acquisition pipeline.

 

   

Declaring and paying distributions totaling $0.60 per share on an annualized basis and fully funding all distributions out of cash flow from operations.

 

   

Generating gross proceeds (excluding DRP proceeds) totaling approximately $308,222 from our Offering.

During 2011, we also made changes to limit the fees or costs paid or reimbursed to our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and Inland Securities Corporation:

 

   

reduced the business management fee to a maximum of 0.75% per annum of average invested assets from up to 1% per annum of average invested assets;

 

   

our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers have agreed to limit the purchase price that we may pay for these entities should we ever decide to become self-managed by acquiring these entities;

 

   

we have clarified that the “issuer costs” in the Offering will not exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds; and

 

   

our board has adopted a policy requiring the engagement of an independent third party (at the applicable time) to review the approach used by the Business Manager to estimate the value of our shares including the underlying assumptions made by the Business Manager and the valuation conclusion, and to make that report accessible to soliciting dealers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our principal demands for funds are to acquire real estate and real estate-related assets, to pay capital expenditures including tenant improvements, to pay our operating expenses including property operating expenses, to pay principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness, to fund repurchases of previously issued

common stock and to pay distributions to our stockholders. We generally, during the pendency of the Offering, seek to fund our cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions, capital expenditures and related financings from operations. Our cash needs for acquisitions (including any contingent earnout payments), capital improvements and related financings have been, and will during the pendency of the Offering continue to be, funded primarily from the sale of our shares, including through our distribution reinvestment plan, as well as debt financings. After our Offering closes to new investors on August 23, 2012, we expect that our primary source to fund our cash needs will come from our operations and our DRP. In 2012, we have approximately $56,489 in principal payments on mortgages payable coming due, the majority of which relates to our Landstown mortgage, which matures in March 2012. On March 14, 2012, we extended the term of this loan, through September 25, 2013.

Potential future sources of additional liquidity include the proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, including proceeds from lines of credit, and undistributed cash flow from operations. As of December 31, 2011, no amounts were outstanding on our current line of credit. In general, our strategy is to target a 55% loan to value leverage limit on a portfolio basis. Our charter limits the amount we may borrow to 300% of our net assets (as defined in our charter) unless any excess borrowing is approved by the board of directors including a majority of the independent directors and is disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report along with justification for the excess. As of December 31, 2011, our borrowings did not exceed 300% of our net assets.

As of December 31, 2011, the Offering (including the DRP) had generated proceeds, net of issuer costs and commissions, the marketing contribution, due diligence expense reimbursements, and other offering related costs, the majority of which are reallowed to third party soliciting dealers, totaling $516,460.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company owed $1,909 and $4,139, respectively, to our Sponsor and its affiliates for business management fees not otherwise waived, advances from these parties used to pay administrative and offering costs, and certain accrued expenses which are included in due to related parties on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These amounts represent non-interest bearing advances by the Sponsor and its affiliates, which the Company intends to repay.

Distributions

We intend to fund cash distributions to our stockholders from cash generated by our operations and other measures determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Cash generated by operations is not equivalent to our net income from continuing operations also as determined under U.S. GAAP or our taxable income for federal income tax purposes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to fully fund distributions, some or all of our distributions may be paid from cash flow generated from investing activities, including the net proceeds from the sale of our assets. In addition, we may fund distributions from, among other things, advances or contributions from our Business Manager or IREIC or from the cash retained by us in the case that our Business Manager defers, accrues or waives all, or a portion, of its business management fee, or waives its right to be reimbursed for certain expenses. A deferral, accrual or waiver of any fee or reimbursement owed to our Business Manager has the effect of increasing cash flow from operations for the relevant period because we do not have to use cash to pay any fee or reimbursement which was deferred, accrued or waived during the relevant period. We will, however, use cash in the future if we pay any fee or reimbursement that was deferred or accrued. Neither our Business Manager nor IREIC has any obligation to provide us with advances or contributions, and our Business Manager is not obligated to defer, accrue or waive any portion of its business management fee or reimbursements. Further, there is no assurance that these other sources will be available to fund distributions.

We will not fund any distributions from the net proceeds of our Offering. In addition, we have not funded any distributions from the proceeds generated by borrowings, and do not intend to do so.

We generated sufficient cash flow from operations, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to fully fund distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2011. Cash retained by us of $3,807 from the waiver of a

 

48


Table of Contents

portion of the 2011 business management fee by our Business Manager had the effect of increasing cash flow from operations for this period because we did not have to use cash to pay the fee. However, even if the Business Manager had not waived part of the 2011 business management fee, we would have still generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fully fund distributions paid for the period. There is no assurance that any deferral, accrual or waiver of any fee or reimbursement will be available to fund distributions in the future.

The monies needed to pay some of the distributions paid from inception through December 31, 2010 were funded from monies provided by IREIC as well as advances by IREIC which were forgiven in 2011. For U.S. GAAP purposes, these monies have been treated as capital contributions from IREIC although IREIC has not received, and will not receive, any additional shares of our common stock for these contributions. For federal income tax purposes, these monies may be considered taxable income under certain circumstances. IREIC also invested $200 at the time of our formation. We will not use any of this initial $200 contribution to fund distributions. There is no assurance that IREIC will continue to contribute monies to fund future distributions if cash flow from operations are not sufficient to cover them. We intend to continue paying distributions for future periods in the amounts and at times as determined by our board.

Share Repurchase Program

We have a share repurchase program designed to provide limited liquidity to eligible stockholders. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we used $1,766 to repurchase 182,202 shares. Since the start of the program through December 31, 2011, we have used $2,055 to repurchase an aggregate of 212,589 shares.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we received requests to repurchase 182,202 shares and fulfilled requests for all of these shares. The average per share repurchase price during this period was $9.69 and these repurchases were funded from proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities

   $ 445,649     $ 369,262     $ 25,369  

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $27,872, $2,658 and $(342) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The funds generated in 2011 were primarily from property operations from our real estate portfolio. The increase from 2010 to 2011 is due to the growth of our real estate portfolio and related, full period, property operations in 2011.

Net cash flows used in investing activities were $454,168, $346,755 and $9,691 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We used $447,559, $330,530 and $9,612 during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, to purchase properties and $12,362, $5,646 and $0 to purchase marketable securities net of sales during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in net cash flows used in investing activities from 2010 to 2011 is due to the increase in our acquisition activity in 2011.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $445,649, $369,262 and $25,369 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Of these amounts, cash flows from financing activities of $322,879, $230,368 and $29,195, respectively, resulted from the sale of our common stock in the Offering and through our DRP. We generated $304,232, $195,059 and $0, respectively from loan proceeds from borrowings secured by properties in our portfolio, increase in our credit facility and securities margin payable. We used

 

49


Table of Contents

$33,741, $24,305 and $5,155, respectively, to pay Offering costs. We also used $118,749 and $24,309 in 2011 and 2010, respectively, to pay principal payments of mortgage debt and pay down our credit facility and securities margin payable. We used $3,458, $3,026 and $21 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, to pay loan fees and deposits related to financing on our closed and potential acquisitions.

During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we paid distributions in the amount of $23,641, $7,031 and $96, respectively. Our 2011 distributions were funded from cash flows from operations determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Sponsor contributed $2,889 to fund distributions for year ended December 31, 2010 and the remainder of distributions were funded from cash flows from operations. On March 10, 2011, our Sponsor forgave $1,500 in liabilities related to advances used to pay administrative and offering costs prior to the commencement of our Offering that were previously funded to the Company and treated this as a capital contribution to cover a portion of distributions paid related to the year ended December 31, 2011. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the monies contributed by our Sponsor have been treated as capital contributions from our Sponsor, although our Sponsor has not received, and will not receive, any additional shares of our common stock for making any of these contributions. For federal income tax purposes, these monies may be considered taxable income under certain circumstances. Our Sponsor is not obligated to continue to contribute monies to fund future distributions, nor is there any assurance that it will do so, if cash flows from operations or borrowings are not sufficient to cover them. The amount and timing of distributions may vary and there is no assurance that we will continue to pay distributions at the existing rate, if at all.

A summary of the distributions declared, distributions paid and cash flows used in operations for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 follows:

Subsequently, on March 10, 2011, IREIC forgave $1,500 in liabilities related to non interest bearing advances that were previously funded to the Company. For U.S. GAAP purposes, this forgiveness of debt will be treated as capital contribution from our Sponsor although our Sponsor has not received, and will not receive, any additional shares of our common stock for making this contribution.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

One of our objectives is to provide cash distributions to our stockholders from cash generated by our operations determined under U.S. GAAP. Cash generated from operations is not equivalent to our net income from continuing operations as determined under U.S. GAAP. One non-U.S. GAAP supplemental performance measure that we consider due to the certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies is known as funds from operations, or “FFO.” The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or “NAREIT,” an industry trade group, promulgated this measure which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization on real property and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in which we hold an interest. In addition, NAREIT has recently clarified its computation of FFO which includes adding back real estate impairment charges for all periods presented, however under U.S. GAAP, impairment charges reduce net income. While impairment charges are added back in the calculation of FFO, we caution that due to the fact that impairments to the value of

 

50


Table of Contents

any property are typically based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows compared to current carrying value, declines in the undiscounted cash flows which led to the impairment charges reflect declines in property operating performance which may be permanent. From inception through December 31, 2011, we have not had any impairment charges and, therefore, no adjustments to FFO have been necessary for impairment charges. We believe our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s definition described above.

However, the calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity since capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity. Items that are capitalized do not impact FFO whereas items that are expensed reduce FFO. Consequently, our presentation of FFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. GAAP, it is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs nor is it indicative of liquidity, including our ability to pay distributions, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our operating performance. Management uses the calculation of FFO for several reasons. We use FFO to compare our operating performance to that of other REITs. Additionally, we compute FFO as part of our acquisition process to determine whether a proposed investment will satisfy our investment objectives.

The historical cost accounting rules used for real estate assets require, among other things, straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or is requested or required by lessees for operational purposes. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical cost accounting for depreciation may be less informative than FFO. We believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization, provides a more complete understanding of our operating performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. However, FFO and modified funds from operations, or “MFFO,” as described below, should not be construed to be equivalent to or a substitute for the current U.S. GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate the performance of real estate under U.S. GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-U.S. GAAP FFO and MFFO measures and the adjustments to U.S. GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO, accounting for acquisition fees and expenses changed pursuant to U.S. GAAP, such that acquisition fees and expenses now are accounted for as operating expenses as opposed to capitalized as part of the acquired property’s basis. We do not pay acquisition fees to our Business Manager or its affiliates, but we do incur acquisition related costs. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically engage in a significant amount of acquisition activity, and thus incur significant acquisition related costs during their initial years of investment and operation. Further, while other start up entities may also engage in significant acquisition activity during their initial years, non-listed REITs are unique in that they typically have a limited timeframe during which they acquire a significant number of properties and thus incur significant acquisition related costs. As disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-K, we will use the proceeds raised in the Offering to acquire properties. Further, we will ultimately seek a liquidity event, which may include selling our assets individually or selling certain subsidiaries or joint venture interests, adopting a plan of liquidation or listing our common stock on a national securities exchange, but our board does not anticipate evaluating a listing until at least 2014. Thus, our acquisition activity is expected to decline after the Offering. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Investment Program Association, or “IPA,” an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which may be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT.

Table of Contents

MFFO excludes costs that are more reflective of investing activities, including acquisition related costs that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, and other non-operating items that are included in FFO. By excluding expensed acquisition related costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such market changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, MFFO may provide useful supplemental information. We believe that MFFO may provide both investors and analysts, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance subsequent to the initial years of investment, which include significant acquisition activity, and once our portfolio is stabilized. We believe that MFFO may be a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance within the non-listed REIT industry. Additionally, MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it may be useful in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under U.S. GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we continue to acquire a significant amount of properties after our Offering is completed. Our disclosure of MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it presents our performance in a manner that reflects certain characteristics that are unique to non-listed REITs, and that may be useful to investors. Investors are cautioned that MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance after the Offering has been completed and the net proceeds of the Offering have been invested in properties, because it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.

We believe our definition of MFFO, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the “Practice Guideline,” issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of U.S. GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above and below market lease assets and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a U.S. GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, nonrecurring unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized. Inasmuch as interest rate hedges are not a fundamental part of our operations, it is appropriate to exclude such nonrecurring gains and losses in calculating MFFO, as such gains and losses are not reflective of on-going operations.

We believe our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. We do not pay acquisition fees to our Business Manager or its affiliates. Under U.S. GAAP, acquisition expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income.

Presentation of this information is intended to provide information which may be useful to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other U.S. GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. The exclusion of impairments limits the usefulness of FFO and MFFO as a historical operating performance measure since an impairment indicates that the property’s operating performance has been permanently affected. Further, MFFO has limitations as a performance measure for an entity engaged in an offering such as ours where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value and there is no net asset value determination during the offering stage and for a period thereafter. MFFO may be useful in assisting investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. FFO and MFFO are not useful measures in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining FFO and MFFO.

Neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that the company uses to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust the calculations and characterization of FFO or MFFO.

The table below represents a reconciliation of our net loss attributable to common stockholders to FFO and MFFO for years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information may be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, MFFO may provide useful supplemental information that is comparable for each

  type of real estate investment and is consistent with the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition related costs include payments to affiliates of our Business Manager or third parties; however, we do not pay acquisition fees to our Business Manager or its affiliates. Acquisition related costs under U.S. GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under U.S. GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition related costs will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us.
(2) Under U.S. GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO may provide useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.
(3) Under U.S. GAAP, our rental receipts are allocated to periods using a straight-line methodology. This may result in income recognition that is different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a U.S. GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO may provide useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms.
(4) We have adjusted for nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the sale of securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan because they are nonrecurring items that may not be reflective of on-going operations.

Results of Operations

The following discussion is based on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Comparison of the Years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, our net loss attributable to common stockholders was $2,279 and $1,743, respectively, and included the following components:

Total income for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $72,115 and $18,198, respectively. The increase in 2011 is primarily due to the ownership and full period operations of properties we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2010 and during 2011. We expect increases in gross revenue in the future as we recognize the full annual effect of our 2011 acquisitions and the effect of newly acquired real estate investments as we continue to build our portfolio.

Property operating expenses and real estate taxes for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $20,085 and $5,583, respectively, and primarily consisted of costs of owning and maintaining investment property, real estate taxes, insurance, property management fees and other maintenance costs. The increase in 2011 is primarily due to the ownership and full period operations of the properties we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2010 and during 2011. We expect increases in property operating expenses and real estate taxes in the future as we recognize the full annual effect of our 2011 acquisitions and the effect of newly acquired real estate investments as we continue to build our portfolio.

General and administrative expenses during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $2,770 and $1,872, respectively. These costs primarily consisted of legal, audit, compliance and other professional fees, insurance, independent director compensation, as well as certain salary, information technology and other administrative cost reimbursements made to our Business Manager and affiliates. The increase in 2011 is primarily due to an increase in our real estate investments as certain of these costs are variable and may continue to increase in the future as we continue to raise capital and make additional real estate investments.

 

54


Table of Contents

Acquisition related costs during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $2,963 and $1,953, respectively, and relate to transaction costs for both closed and potential transactions. These costs mainly include third-party costs such as appraisals, environmental studies, legal fees as well as time and travel expense reimbursements to affiliates of our Sponsor. We do not pay acquisition fees to our Business Manager or its affiliates. The increase compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily relates to increased acquisition activity and costs related to our acquisition pipeline in 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $28,980 and $5,669, respectively. The increase in 2011 is primarily due to the ownership and full period operations of the properties we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2010 and during 2011. We expect increases in depreciation and amortization in the future as we recognize the full annual effect of our 2011 acquisitions and the effect of newly acquired real estate investments as we continue to build our portfolio.

Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $19,835 and $4,522. The increase is primarily a result of an increase in the aggregate amount of our debt compared to the prior period. The outstanding principal balance of mortgages payable increased from $184,193 at December 31, 2010 to $462,418 at December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our weighted average stated interest rate per annum was 4.94% and 5.16%, respectively, with weighted average maturities of 6.3 years and 5.8 years, respectively.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $102 and $96 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, represents the interests of a third party venture partner in the Temple Terrace consolidated joint venture.

Comparison of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, our net loss attributable to common stockholders was $1,743 and $297, respectively, and included the following components:

Total income for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled $18,198 and $96, respectively. The increase is due to the 27 property acquisitions in 2010, compared to one in 2009.

Property operating expenses and real estate taxes for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled $5,583 and $34, respectively, and primarily consisted of costs of owning and maintaining investment property, real estate taxes, insurance, property management fees and other maintenance costs. The increase is due to the 27 property acquisitions in 2010, compared to one in 2009.

General and administrative expenses during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled $1,872 and $223, respectively. These costs primarily consisted of legal, audit and other professional fees, insurance, board of director fees, as well as certain salary, information technology and other administrative cost reimbursements paid to our Business Manager and affiliates. These results increased compared to year ended December 31, 2009 due to the growth of the operations of the Company and a related increase in operating costs.

Acquisition related costs during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled $1,953 and $50, respectively, and relate to acquisition, dead deal and transaction related costs to both closed and potential transactions. These costs mainly include third-party due diligence costs such as appraisals, environmental studies, legal fees as well as time and travel expense reimbursements to affiliates. We do not pay acquisition fees to our Business Manager or its affiliates. The increase compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 relates to increased acquisition activity in 2010.

Organizational costs for the year ended December 31, 2009 totaled $60 and related to formation costs for the Company. No organizational costs were incurred in 2010.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled $5,669 and $29, respectively, and consisted of depreciation on our investment properties and amortization expense resulting from the amortization of acquired lease intangible assets. The increase is due to the 27 property acquisitions in 2010, compared to one in 2009.

Interest and dividend income for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled $358 and $3, respectively. This interest and dividend income was earned from the short term investment of our cash and interest and dividends earned on our marketable securities portfolio. The increase was mainly due to an increase in average cash balances and the purchase of marketable securities in 2010. There were no such purchases in 2009.

Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled $4,522 and $0, respectively and was primarily related to mortgage borrowings secured by the properties in our portfolio. We incurred no interest expense in the year ended December 31, 2009 as we had no borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2010, our weighted average stated interest rate was 5.16% per annum.

Noncontrolling interest represents the interests of a third party venture partner in the Temple Terrace consolidated joint venture which was formed in the third quarter of 2010.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

In 2009, we became a member of a limited liability company formed as an insurance association captive (the “Insurance Captive”), which is owned in equal proportions by us and three other REITs sponsored by the Company’s Sponsor and serviced by an affiliate of our Business Manager. We entered into the Insurance Captive to stabilize insurance costs, manage our exposures and recoup expenses through the functions of the captive program.

Critical Accounting Policies

A critical accounting policy is one that, we believe, would materially affect our operating results or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgments in certain circumstances. We believe that our most critical accounting policies relate to the valuation and purchase price allocation of investment properties, recognition of rental income, and valuation of marketable securities. These judgments often result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. U.S. GAAP requires information in financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and disclosures pertaining to significant estimates. The following disclosure discusses judgments known to management pertaining to trends, events or uncertainties that were taken into consideration upon the application of critical accounting policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported upon taking into consideration different conditions and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

We commence revenue recognition on our leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. If we are the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete.

If we conclude we are not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset will be the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives which reduces revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these

 

56


Table of Contents

circumstances, we begin revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct their own improvements. We consider a number of different factors to evaluate whether it or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. The determination of who owns the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, is subject to significant judgment.

We recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts and rents receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Due to the impact of the straight-line basis, rental income generally will be greater than the cash collected in the early years and decrease in the later years of a lease. We periodically review the collectability of outstanding receivables. Allowances are taken for those balances that we deem to be uncollectible, including any amounts relating to straight-line rent receivables.

Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate tax and operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. We make certain assumptions and judgments in estimating the reimbursements at the end of each reporting period. We do not expect the actual results to materially differ from the estimated reimbursement.

We recognize lease termination income if there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, the tenant is no longer occupying the property and amounts due are considered collectible. Upon early lease termination, we provide for losses related to unrecovered intangibles and other assets. As a lessor, we defer the recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage rent, until the specified target that triggered the contingent rental income is achieved.

Acquisition of Investment Properties

We are required to determine the total purchase price of each acquired investment property, which includes estimating any contingent consideration to be paid or received in future periods. We are required to allocate the purchase price of each acquired investment property between land, building and improvements, acquired above market and below market leases, in-place lease value, and any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms. In addition, we are required to allocate a portion of the purchase price to the value of customer relationships, if any. The allocation of the purchase price is an area that requires judgment and significant estimates. We use the information contained in the independent appraisal obtained at acquisition or other market sources as the basis for the allocation to land and building and improvements.

The aggregate value of intangibles is measured based on the difference between the stated price and the property value calculation as if vacant. We determine whether any financing assumed is above or below market based upon comparison to similar financing terms for similar investment properties. We also allocate a portion of the purchase price to the estimated acquired in-place lease costs based on estimated lease execution costs for similar leases as well as lost rent payments during assumed lease up period when calculating as if vacant fair values. We also evaluate each acquired lease based upon current market rates at the acquisition date and we consider various factors including geographical location, size and location of leased space within the investment property, tenant profile and the credit risk of the tenant in determining whether the acquired lease is above or below market.

After an acquired lease is determined to be above or below market, we allocate a portion of the purchase price to such above or below acquired leases based upon the present value of the difference between the contractual lease rate and the estimated market rate. The determination of the discount rate used in the present value calculation is based upon the “risk free rate.” This discount rate is a significant factor in determining the market valuation which requires our judgment of subjective factors such as market knowledge, economics, demographics, location, visibility, age and physical condition of the property. The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired above market lease value and acquired below market lease value are amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the related lease as an adjustment to rental income. For below market lease values, the amortization period includes any renewal periods with fixed rate renewals.

Impairment of Investment Property

We assess the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of the assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. In order to review our assets for recoverability, we consider current market conditions, as well as our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party appraisals, where considered necessary (Level 3 inputs). If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the real estate property.

We estimate the future undiscounted cash flows based on our intent as follows: (i) for real estate properties that we intend to hold long-term, including land held for development, properties currently under development and operating buildings, recoverability is assessed based on the estimated future net rental income from operating the property and termination value; and (ii) for real estate properties that we intend to sell, including land parcels, properties currently under development and operating buildings, recoverability is assessed based on estimated proceeds from disposition that are estimated based on future net rental income of the property and expected market capitalization rates.

The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions that are consistent with our estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan we use to manage our underlying business. However assumptions and estimates about future cash flows, including comparable sales values, discount rates, capitalization rates, revenue and expense growth rates and lease-up assumptions which impact the discounted cash flow approach to determine value, are complex and subjective. Changes in economic and operating conditions and our ultimate investment intent that occur subsequent to the impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and result in future impairment charges of the real estate properties.

In addition, we evaluate our equity method investments for impairment indicators. The valuation analysis considers the investment positions in relation to the underlying business and activities of our investments.

Impairment of Marketable Securities

We assess our investments in marketable securities for impairments. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary, will result in an impairment to reduce the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment will be charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security will be established. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, we consider whether we have the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and consider whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year-end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry the investee operates in. We consider the following factors in evaluating our securities for impairments that are other than temporary:

 

   

declines in REIT stocks and the stock market relative to our marketable security positions;

 

   

the estimated net asset value (“NAV”) of the companies we invest in relative to their current market prices;

 

   

future growth prospects and outlook for companies using analyst reports and company guidance, including dividend coverage, NAV estimates and growth in “funds from operations,” or “FFO,” and

 

   

duration of the decline in the value of the securities.

(1) The long-term debt obligations excludes net mortgage premiums associated with debt assumed at acquisition of which a net premium of $1,246, net of accumulated amortization, is outstanding as of December 31, 2011.
(2) Landstown Commons loan matures on March 24, 2012. On March 14, 2012, we extended the maturity date to September 25, 2013 which has been reflected in the table accordingly.

As of December 31, 2011, we had outstanding commitments to fund approximately $7,566 into the Temple Terrace joint venture for a redevelopment project. We intend to fund these outstanding commitments with proceeds from our Offering.

We have provided a partial guarantee on four loans of our subsidiaries. Two loans are recourse for 50% of the unpaid principal from time to time and 100% of unpaid interest. As of December 31, 2011, the outstanding principal balance on these two loans totaled $40,500. One additional loan is recourse for $2,200 of unpaid principal and interest and another loan is recourse for a total of $25,000 of the unpaid principal and 100% of unpaid interest.

From time to time, we acquire properties subject to the obligation to pay the seller additional monies depending on the future leasing and occupancy of the property. These earnout payments are based on a predetermined formula. Each earnout agreement has a time limit and other parameters regarding the obligation to pay any additional monies. If at the end of the time period, certain space has not been leased and occupied, we will not have any further obligation. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had a liability of $25,290 and $12,904, respectively, recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as deferred investment property acquisition obligations. The maximum potential payment was $30,023 at December 31, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Subsequent Events

We have evaluated events and transactions that have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2011 for potential recognition and disclosure in the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report.

Our board of directors declared distributions payable to stockholders of record each day beginning on the close of business on January 1, 2012 through the close of business on April 30, 2012. Distributions were declared in a daily amount equal to $0.001639344 per share, which if paid each day for a 366-year period, would equate to a 6.0% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Distributions were and will continue to be paid monthly in arrears, as follows:

 

   

In January 2012, total distributions declared for the month of December 2011 were paid in the amount equal to $2,911, of which $1,141 was paid in cash and $1,770 was reinvested through the Company’s DRP, resulting in the issuance of an additional 186,320 shares of common stock.

 

   

In February 2012, total distributions declared for the month of January 2012 were paid in the amount equal to $3,049, of which $1,204 was paid in cash and $1,845 was reinvested through the Company’s DRP, resulting in the issuance of an additional 194,194 shares of common stock.

 

   

In March 2012, total distributions declared for the month of February 2012 were paid in the amount equal to $3,030, of which $1,197 was paid in cash and $1,833 was reinvested through the Company’s DRP, resulting in the issuance of an additional 192,905 shares of common stock.

On January 5, 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary acquired a fee simple interest in a 20,707 square foot retail property known as Dollar General Market – Port St. Joe located in Port St. Joe, Florida. We purchased this property from an unaffiliated third party for approximately $3,590.

On January 27, 2012, we entered into a $22,550 loan secured by a first mortgage on Palm Coast Landing. This loan bears interest at a fixed rate equal to 5.00% per annum, and matures on March 1, 2022.

On February 2, 2012, we entered into a $6,181 loan secured by cross-collateralized first mortgages on the entire Dollar General portfolio consisting of ten properties. This loan bears interest at a fixed rate equal to 5.25% per annum, and matures on February 2, 2017.

As of March 1, 2012, we had received proceeds from our Offering (including DRP), net of commissions, marketing contributions, and due diligence expense reimbursements, of approximately $595,962 and have issued approximately 66,077,645 shares of common stock.

On March 8, 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary acquired a fee simple interest in a 179,858 square foot retail property known as Hamilton Crossing located in Alcoa, Tennessee. We purchased this property from an unaffiliated third party for approximately $30,098.

On March 9, 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary acquired a fee simple interest in a 348,700 square foot retail property known as Shoppes at Branson Hills located in Branson, Missouri. We purchased this property from an unaffiliated third party for approximately $38,528 not including a contingent earnout component of $912. Additionally, we are under contract to purchase an additional 99,025 square feet contingent on assuming an existing mortgage payable of $12,149.

On March 9, 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary acquired a fee simple interest in a 10,566 square foot Dollar General store located in Buffalo, New York. We purchased this property from an unaffiliated third party for approximately $1,350.

On March 14, 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary entered into a loan modification agreement on the first mortgage loan encumbering Landstown Commons. This modification extends the maturity date from March 24, 2012 to September 25, 2013 and reduces the interest rate from LIBOR plus 3.00% per annum to LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum. The principal amount of the loan is unchanged at $50,140.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Dollar amounts are stated in thousands.

Interest Rate Risk

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to purchase properties or other real estate assets, maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures or operations. Including derivative financial instruments, we currently have limited exposure to financial market risks through fixing our interest rates on all long-term debt as of December 31, 2011 except one mortgage payable, securities margin payable and the Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2011, we had outstanding mortgage debt, which is subject to fixed interest rates and variable rates of $412,278 and $51,432, respectively, bearing interest at weighted average interest rates equal to 5.27% per annum and 3.23% per annum, respectively.

If market rates of interest on all floating rate debt as of December 31, 2011 permanently increased by 1%, the increase in interest expense on the variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $514 annually. If market rates of interest on all floating rate debt as of December 31, 2011 permanently decreased by 1%, the decrease in interest expense on the variable rate debt would increase future earnings and cash flows by the same amount.

We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets and investments in commercial mortgage-backed securities. Derivative instruments may include interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, options or repurchase agreements. Our actual hedging decisions will be determined in light of the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge and may differ from our currently anticipated hedging strategy. If we use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we will be exposed to both credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us because the counterparty may not perform. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. We will seek to manage the market risk associated with interest-rate contracts by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. There is no assurance we will be successful.

Our board has established policies and procedures regarding our use of derivative financial instruments for purposes of fixing or capping floating interest rate debt if it qualifies as an effective hedge pursuant to U.S. GAAP for principal amounts up to $50,000 per transaction.

Securities Price Risk

Securities price risk is risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in equity and debt security prices. Our exposure to changes in equity and debt security prices is a result of our investment in these types of securities. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and therefore, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market prices of a security may result from any number of factors including perceived changes in the underlying fundamental characteristics of the issuer, the relative price of alternative investments, interest rates, default rates, and general market conditions. Additionally, amounts realized in the sale of a particular security may be affected by the relative quantity of the security being sold. We do not currently engage in derivative or other hedging transactions to manage our security price risk.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule III. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule III are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule III based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule III, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

(1) Organization

Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. (which may be referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was formed on June 30, 2008 (inception) to acquire and develop a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate investments located in the United States and Canada. The Company has entered into a Business Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Inland Diversified Business Manager & Advisor, Inc. (the “Business Manager”), to be the Business Manager to the Company. The Business Manager is a related party to our sponsor, Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation (the “Sponsor”). In addition, Inland Diversified Real Estate Services LLC, Inland Diversified Asset Services LLC, Inland Diversified Leasing Services LLC and Inland Diversified Development Services LLC, which are indirectly controlled by the four principals of The Inland Group, Inc. (collectively, the “Real Estate Managers”), serve as the Company’s real estate managers. The Company is authorized to sell up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock (“Shares”) at $10.00 each in an initial public offering (the “Offering”) which commenced on August 24, 2009 and up to 50,000,000 shares at $9.50 each issuable pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (“DRP”).

The Company provides the following programs to facilitate investment in the Company’s shares and limited liquidity for stockholders.

The Company allows stockholders who purchase shares in the Offering to purchase additional shares from the Company by automatically reinvesting distributions through the DRP, subject to certain share ownership restrictions. Such purchases under the DRP are not subject to selling commissions or the marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance, and are made at a price of $9.50 per share.

The Company is authorized to repurchase shares under the share repurchase program, as amended (“SRP”), if requested, subject to, among other conditions, funds being available. In any given calendar month, proceeds used for the SRP cannot exceed the proceeds from the DRP, for that month. In addition, the Company will limit the number of shares repurchased during any calendar year to 5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31 st of the previous year. In the case of repurchases made upon the death of a stockholder, however, the Company is authorized to use any funds to complete the repurchase, and neither the limit regarding funds available from the DRP nor the 5% limit will apply. The SRP will be terminated if the Company’s shares become listed for trading on a national securities exchange. In addition, the Company’s board of directors, in its sole direction, may amend, suspend or terminate the SRP.

At December 31, 2011, the Company owned 46 retail properties and two office properties collectively totaling 5,579,328 square feet and one multi-family property totaling 300 units. As of December 31, 2011, the portfolio had a weighted average physical occupancy and economic occupancy of 94.7% and 97.3%, respectively. Economic occupancy excludes square footage associated with an earnout component. At the time of acquisition, certain properties have an earnout component to the purchase price, meaning the Company did not pay a portion of the purchase price at closing for certain vacant spaces, although it owns the entire property. The Company is not obligated to pay this contingent purchase price unless space which was vacant at the time of acquisition is later rented within the time limits and parameters set forth in the acquisition agreement (note 13).

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that

 

70


Table of Contents

INLAND DIVERSIFIED REAL ESTATE TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Interests of third parties in these consolidated entities are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Wholly-owned subsidiaries generally consist of limited liability companies (LLCs). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Each property is owned by a separate legal entity which maintains its own books and financial records and each entity’s assets are not available to satisfy the liabilities of other affiliated entities, except as otherwise disclosed in Notes 9 and 13.

Offering and Organizational Costs

Costs associated with the Offering were deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the Offering upon the sale of shares. Formation and organizational costs were expensed as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all demand deposits and money market accounts and all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes that the risk is not significant, as the Company does not anticipate the financial institutions’ non-performance.

Restricted Cash and Escrows

Restricted cash and the offsetting liability, which is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses, consist of funds received from investors in the amounts of $1,657 and $279 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, relating to shares of the Company to be purchased by such investors, which settlement has not occurred as of the balance sheet date. Restricted escrows of $2,893 and $9,318 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, primarily consist of cash held in escrow based on lender requirements for collateral or funds to be used for the payment of insurance, real estate taxes, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and acquisition related earnouts (note 13).

Revenue Recognition

The Company commences revenue recognition on its leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. The determination of who is the owner, for

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. If the Company is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete. If the Company concludes it is not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives which reduces revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these circumstances, the Company begins revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct their own improvements. The Company considers a number of different factors to evaluate whether it or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. The determination of who owns the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, is subject to significant judgment.

Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts and rents receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Due to the impact of the straight-line basis, rental income generally will be greater than the cash collected in the early years and decrease in the later years of a lease. The Company periodically reviews the collectability of outstanding receivables. Allowances are taken for those balances that the Company deems to be uncollectible, including any amounts relating to straight-line rent receivables.

Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate tax and operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. The Company makes certain assumptions and judgments in estimating the reimbursements at the end of each reporting period. The Company does not expect the actual results to materially differ from the estimated reimbursement.

The Company records lease termination income if there is a signed termination agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, the tenant is no longer occupying the property and amounts due are considered collectible. Upon early lease termination, the Company provides for gains or losses related to unrecovered intangibles and other assets.

As a lessor, the Company defers the recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage rent, until the specified target that triggered the contingent rental income is achieved.

Capitalization and Depreciation

Real estate acquisitions are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Improvement and betterment costs are capitalized, and ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Transactional costs in connection with the acquisition of real estate properties and businesses are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight line method. Building and improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 30 years and 5-15 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment and site improvements.

Tenant improvements are amortized on a straight line basis over the shorter of the life of the asset or the term of the related lease as a component of depreciation and amortization expense. Leasing fees are amortized on a

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

straight-line basis over the term of the related lease as a component of depreciation and amortization expense. Loan fees are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the related loans as a component of interest expense.

Cost capitalization and the estimate of useful lives require judgment and include significant estimates that can and do change.

Depreciation expense was $16,715, $3,312 and $17 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company has estimated fair value using available market information and valuation methodologies the Company believes to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that would be realized upon disposition.

The Company defines fair value based on the price that it believes would be received upon sale of an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which are described below:

 

   

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.

 

   

Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

   

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

Acquisition of Investment Properties

Upon acquisition, the Company determines the total purchase price of each property (note 3), which includes the estimated contingent consideration to be paid or received in future periods (note 13). The Company allocates the total purchase price of properties and businesses based on the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on Level 3 inputs, such as comparable sales values, discount rates, capitalization rates, revenue and expense growth rates and lease-up assumptions, from a third party appraisal or other market sources.

The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired above market lease value and acquired below market lease value are amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the related lease as an adjustment to rental income. For below-market lease values, the amortization period includes any renewal periods with fixed rate renewals. Amortization pertaining to the above market lease value of $3,000, $705 and $0 was recorded as a

reduction to rental income for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Amortization pertaining to the below market lease value of $985, $249 and $3 was recorded as an increase to rental income for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired in-place lease value is amortized on a straight line basis over the acquired leases’ weighted-average remaining term. The Company incurred amortization expense pertaining to acquired in-place lease intangibles of $10,107, $2,302 and $12 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The portion of the purchase price allocated to customer relationship value is amortized on a straight line basis over the weighted-average remaining lease term. As of December 31, 2011, no amount has been allocated to customer relationship value.

The following table summarizes the Company’s identified intangible assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Impairment of Investment Properties

The Company assesses the carrying values of its respective long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of the assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. In order to review its assets for recoverability, the Company considers current market conditions, as well as its intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party appraisals, where considered necessary (Level 3 inputs). If the Company’s analysis indicates that the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, the Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the real estate property.

The Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows based on management’s intent as follows: (i) for real estate properties that the Company intends to hold long-term, including land held for development, properties currently under development and operating buildings, recoverability is assessed based on the estimated future net rental income from operating the property and termination value; and (ii) for real estate properties that the Company intends to sell, including land parcels, properties currently under development and operating buildings, recoverability is assessed based on estimated proceeds from disposition that are estimated based on future net rental income of the property and expected market capitalization rates.

The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions that are consistent with our estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan the Company uses to manage its underlying business. However assumptions and estimates about future cash flows, including comparable sales values, discount rates, capitalization rates, revenue and expense growth rates and lease-up assumptions which impact the discounted cash flow approach to determining value are complex and subjective. Changes in economic and operating conditions and the Company’s ultimate investment intent that occur subsequent to the impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and result in future impairment charges of the real estate properties.

During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred no impairment charges.

Impairment of Marketable Securities

The Company assesses the investments in marketable securities for impairment. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary will result in an impairment to reduce the carrying amount to fair value using Level 1 and 2 inputs (note 6). The impairment will be charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security will be established. To determine whether impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether they have the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year-end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry the investee operates in. The Company considers the following factors in evaluating our securities for impairments that are other than temporary:

 

   

declines in the REIT and overall stock market relative to our security positions;

 

   

the estimated net asset value (“NAV”) of the companies it invests in relative to their current market prices;

 

75


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

   

future growth prospects and outlook for companies using analyst reports and company guidance, including dividend coverage, NAV estimates and growth in “funds from operations,” or “FFO;” and duration of the decline in the value of the securities

During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred no other-than-temporary impairment charges.

Partially-Owned Entities

We consolidate the operations of a joint venture if we determine that we are either the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or have substantial influence and control of the entity. The primary beneficiary is the party that has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE. There are significant judgments and estimates involved in determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or the determination of who has control and influence of the entity. When we consolidate an entity, the assets, liabilities and results of operations will be included in our consolidated financial statements.

In instances where we are not the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or we do not control the joint venture, we use the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the operations of a joint venture are not consolidated with our operations but instead our share of operations would be reflected as equity in income of unconsolidated entities on our consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. Additionally, our net investment in the entities is reflected as investment in unconsolidated entities on the consolidated balance sheets.

REIT Status

The Company has qualified and has elected to be taxed as a REIT beginning with the tax year ended December 31, 2009. In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to its stockholders. The Company must also meet certain asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. The Company will monitor the business and transactions that may potentially impact our REIT status. If it fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, without the benefit of certain relief provisions, it will be subject to federal (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates.

Derivatives

The Company uses derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, primarily to manage exposure to interest rate risks inherent in variable rate debt. The Company may also enter into forward starting swaps or treasury lock agreements to set the effective interest rate on a planned fixed-rate financing. The Company’s interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. In a forward starting swap or treasury lock agreement that the Company cash settles in anticipation of a fixed rate financing or refinancing, the Company will receive or pay an amount equal to the present value of future cash flow payments based on the difference between the contract rate and market rate on the settlement date. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments under the accounting requirements for derivatives and hedging.

The remaining lease terms range from less than one year to 75 years. Most of the revenue from the Company’s properties consists of rents received under long-term operating leases. Some leases require the tenant to pay fixed base rent paid monthly in advance, and to reimburse the Company for the tenant’s pro rata share of certain operating expenses including real estate taxes, special assessments, insurance, utilities, common area maintenance, management fees, and certain building repairs paid by the Company and recoverable under the terms of the lease. Under these leases, the Company pays all expenses and is reimbursed by the tenant for the tenant’s pro rata share of recoverable expenses paid. Certain other tenants are subject to net leases which provide that the tenant is responsible for fixed base rent as well as all costs and expenses associated with occupancy. Under net leases where all expenses are paid directly by the tenant rather than the landlord, such expenses are not included in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. Under leases where all expenses are paid by the Company, subject to reimbursement by the tenant, the expenses are included within property operating expenses and reimbursements are included in tenant recovery income on the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income.

(5) Unconsolidated Joint Venture

The Company is a member of a limited liability company formed as an insurance association captive (the “Insurance Captive”), which is owned in equal proportions by the Company and three other REITs sponsored by the Company’s Sponsor, Inland Real Estate Corporation, Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc., and Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. and serviced by an affiliate of the Business Manager, Inland Risk and Insurance Management Services Inc. The Insurance Captive was formed to initially insure/reimburse the members’ deductible obligations for the first $100 of property insurance and $100 of general liability insurance. The Company entered into the Insurance Captive to stabilize its insurance costs, manage its exposures and recoup expenses through the functions of the captive program. This entity is considered to be a variable interest entity (VIE) as defined in U.S. GAAP and the Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary. Therefore, this investment is accounted for utilizing the equity method of accounting.

     Insurance Captive         25   $ 231      $ 189  

The Company’s share of net income from its investment in the unconsolidated entity is based on the ratio of each member’s premium contribution to the venture. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company was allocated income of $105 and $1, respectively.

On May 28, 2009, the Company purchased 1,000 shares of common stock in the Inland Real Estate Group of Companies for $1, which are accounted for under the cost method and included in investment in unconsolidated entities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

(6) Investment in Marketable Securities

Investment in marketable securities of $17,903 and $5,810 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, consists of primarily preferred and common stock and corporate bond investments in other publicly traded REITs, and commercial mortgage backed securities which are classified as available-for-sale securities and recorded at fair value.

Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of comprehensive income until realized. The Company had net unrealized losses of $269 for

the year ended December 31, 2011, and net unrealized gains of $162 for the year ended December 31, 2010, which have been recorded as net other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income.

Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis or first-in, first-out basis. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had realized gains of $365 and losses of $2, respectively, which has been recorded as realized gain (loss) on sale of marketable securities in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income.

The Company’s policy for assessing recoverability of its available-for-sale securities is to record a charge against net earnings when the Company determines that a decline in the fair value of a security drops below the cost basis and believes that decline to be other-than-temporary, which includes determining whether for marketable securities: (1) the Company intends to sell the marketable security, and (2) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the marketable security before its anticipated recovery.

(7) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and escrows, accounts and rents receivable, accrued offering expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and due to related parties approximates their fair values at December 31, 2011 and 2010 due to the short maturity of these instruments.

All financial assets and liabilities are recognized or disclosed at fair value using a fair value hierarchy as described in note 2 – “Fair Value Measurements.”

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities, measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and related valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value as of December 31, 2011 and 2010:

 

     Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total  

December 31, 2011

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the investment in marketable securities above was quoted prices from national stock exchanges and quoted prices from third party brokers for similar assets (note 6). The Company performs certain validation procedures such as verifying changes in security prices from one period to the next and verifying ending security prices on a test basis.

The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the interest rate swaps above in which the counterparties have high credit ratings, were derived from pricing models provided by a third party, such as discounted cash flow techniques, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market

data. The Company verifies the ending values provided by the third party to the values received on the counterparties statements for reasonableness. The Company’s discounted cash flow techniques use observable market inputs, such as LIBOR-based yield curves.

The Company estimates the fair value of its total debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by the Company’s lenders using Level 3 inputs. The carrying value of the Company’s mortgage debt was $463,663 and $184,365 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and its estimated fair value was $470,569 and $181,294 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s carrying amount of variable rate borrowings on the credit facility and securities margin payable approximates their fair values at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

(a) The Business Manager and its related parties are entitled to reimbursement for general and administrative expenses of the Business Manager and its related parties relating to the Company’s administration. Such costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income.
(b) A related party of the Business Manager provides loan servicing to the Company for an annual fee equal to .03% of the first $1,000,000 of serviced loans and .01% for serviced loans over $1,000,000. These loan servicing fees are paid monthly and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income.
(c) The Company established a discount stock purchase policy for related parties and related parties of the Business Manager that enables the related parties to purchase shares of common stock at $9.00 per share.

(d) The Company pays a related party of the Business Manager to purchase and monitor its investment in marketable securities.
(e)

A related party of the Business Manager receives selling commissions equal to 7.5% of the sale price for each share sold and a marketing contribution equal to 2.5% of the gross offering proceeds from shares sold, the majority of which are reallowed to third party soliciting dealers.

  including any bona fide out-of-pocket, itemized and detailed due diligence expenses not reimbursed from amounts paid or reallowed as a marketing contribution, in an amount not to exceed 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds. The Company will not pay selling commissions or the marketing contribution or reimburse issuer costs in connection with shares of common stock issued through the distribution reinvestment plan. Such costs are offset against the stockholders’ equity accounts.
(f) As of December 31, 2011, the Company had incurred $64,127 of offering costs including, $10,515 of issuer costs. Of the $64,127, $55,752 was paid or accrued to related parties, the majority of which was then reallowed to third party soliciting dealers. Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, issuer costs may not exceed 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds over the life of the Offering. In addition, the Business Manager has agreed to reimburse the Company all organization and offering expenses (including issuer costs, selling commissions and the marketing contribution) which together exceed 11.5% of gross offering proceeds over the life of the Offering. The Company anticipates that these costs will not exceed these limitations upon completion of the Offering. Any excess amounts at the completion of the Offering will be reimbursed by the Business Manager.
(g) The Business Manager and its related parties are reimbursed for acquisition, dead deal and transaction related costs of the Business Manager and its related parties relating to the Company’s acquisition of real estate assets. These costs relate to both closed and potential transactions and include customary due diligence costs including time and travel expense reimbursements. Such costs are included in acquisition related costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income.

(i) Subject to satisfying the criteria described below, the Company pays the Business Manager a quarterly business management fee equal to a percentage of the Company’s “average invested assets” (as defined in the Offering prospectus dated September 29, 2011), calculated as follows:

 

  (1) if the Company has declared distributions during the prior calendar quarter just ended, in an amount equal to or greater than an average 7% annualized distribution rate (assuming a share was purchased for $10.00), it will pay a fee equal to 0.1875% of its “average invested assets” for that prior calendar quarter;
  (2) if the Company has declared distributions during the prior calendar quarter just ended, in an amount equal to or greater than an average 6% annualized distribution rate but less than 7% annualized distribution rate (assuming a share was purchased for $10.00), it will pay a fee equal to 0.1625% of its “average invested assets” for that prior calendar quarter;
  (3) if the Company has declared distributions during the prior calendar quarter just ended, in an amount equal to or greater than an average 5% annualized distribution rate but less than 6% annualized distribution rate (assuming a share was purchased for $10.00), it will pay a fee equal to 0.125% of its “average invested assets” for that prior calendar quarter; or
  (4) if the Company does not satisfy the criteria in (1), (2) or (3) above in a particular calendar quarter just ended, it will not, except as set forth below, pay a business management fee for that prior calendar quarter.
  (5)

Assuming that (1), (2) or (3) above is satisfied, the Business Manager may decide, in its sole discretion, to be paid an amount less than the total amount that may be paid. If the Business Manager decides to accept less in any particular quarter, the excess amount that is not paid may, in the Business Manager’s sole discretion, be waived permanently or accrued, without interest, to be paid at a later point in time. This obligation to pay the accrued fee terminates if the Company acquires the Business Manager. For

  the year ended December 31, 2011, the Business Manager was entitled to a business management fee in the amount equal to $4,807 of which $3,807 was permanently waived. In 2011, the Company paid the 2011 fee and the accrued amount at December 31, 2010 related to the 2010 fee.

Separate and distinct from any business management fee, the Company will also reimburse the Business Manager, the Real Estate Managers and their affiliates for certain expenses that they, or any related party including the Sponsor, pay or incur on its behalf including the salaries and benefits of persons employed except that the Company will not reimburse either our Business Manager or Real Estate Managers for any compensation paid to individuals who also serve as the Company’s executive officers, or the executive officers of the Business Manager, the Real Estate Managers or their affiliates; provided that, for these purposes, the secretaries will not be considered “executive officers.” These costs were recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income.

 

(j) The Company pays a related party of the Business Manager 0.2% of the principal amount of each loan it places for the Company. Such costs are capitalized as loan fees and amortized over the respective loan term.
(k) The Company reimburses a related party of the Business Manager for costs incurred for construction oversight provided to the Company relating to its joint venture redevelopment project. These reimbursements are paid monthly during the development period. These costs are capitalized and are included in construction in progress on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
(l) As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company owed $724 and $2,224, respectively to our Sponsor related to advances used to pay administrative and offering costs prior to the commencement of our Offering. These amounts are included in due to related parties on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. On March 10, 2011, our Sponsor forgave $1,500 in liabilities related to non interest bearing advances that were previously funded to the Company to cover a portion of distributions paid related to the three months ended December 31, 2010. For U.S. GAAP purposes, this forgiveness of debt was treated as a capital contribution from our Sponsor who has not received, and will not receive, any additional shares of our common stock for making this contribution. No additional contributions were made during the year ended December 31, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Sponsor contributed $2,889 to the Company to pay 2010 distributions to its stockholders. Our Sponsor has not received, and will not receive, any additional shares of our common stock for making any of these contributions. In addition, the Company has not used any of the Sponsor’s initial $200 contribution to fund distributions. There is no assurance that our Sponsor will continue to contribute monies to fund future distributions.

The Company may pay additional types of compensation to affiliates of the Sponsor in the future, including the Business Manager and our Real Estate Managers and their respective affiliates; however, we did not pay any other types of compensation for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had deposited cash of $3,171 and $3,640, respectively in Inland Bank and Trust, a subsidiary of Inland Bancorp, Inc., an affiliate of The Inland Real Estate Group, Inc.

The principal amount of our mortgage loans outstanding as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $462,418 and $184,193, respectively, and had a weighted average stated interest rate of 4.94% and 5.16% per annum, respectively. All of the Company’s mortgage loans are secured by first mortgages on the real estate assets.

The mortgage loans require compliance with certain covenants, such as debt service ratios, investment restrictions and distribution limitations. As of December 31, 2011, all of the mortgages were current in payments and the Company was in compliance with such covenants.

On November 1, 2010, we entered into a credit agreement (as amended the “Credit Facility”), under which we may borrow, on an unsecured basis, up to $50,000. We have the right, provided that no default has occurred and is continuing, to increase the facility amount up to $150,000 with approval from the lender. The entire unpaid principal balance of all borrowings under the credit facility and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be due and payable in full on October 31, 2012, which date may be extended to October 31, 2013 subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the payment of an extension fee. We have the right to terminate the facility at any time, upon one day’s notice and the repayment of all of its obligations there under. We may borrow at rates equal to (1) the sum of (a) LIBOR, with a floor of 1.00% per annum, divided by an amount equal to one minus the then-current reserve requirement, plus (b) 3.50% per annum (referred to herein as a “LIBOR advance”) or (2) the Base Rate (as defined herein), plus a margin equal to 2.50% per annum (referred to herein as a “Base Rate advance”). As used herein, “Base Rate” means, for any day, the highest of: (i) the prime rate for that day; (ii) 2.00% per annum; (iii) the sum of the Federal Funds Effective Rate for that day plus 0.50% per annum; and (iv) the sum of LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum. We generally will be required to make interest-only payments, except that we may be required to make partial principal payments if we are unable to comply with certain debt covenants set forth in the Credit Facility. We also may, from time to time, prepay all or part of any Base Rate advance without penalty or premium, and may prepay any LIBOR advance subject to indemnifying each lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom. The Credit Facility requires compliance with certain covenants which the Company was in compliance with at December 31, 2011. Our performance of the obligations under the Credit Facility, including the payment of any outstanding indebtedness thereunder, is

secured by a guaranty by certain of our material subsidiaries owning unencumbered properties. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility was $0 and $7,000, respectively. The interest rate at December 31, 2011 was 4.50% per annum.

The Company has purchased a portion of its marketable securities through margin accounts. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has recorded a payable of $1,293 and $1,507, respectively, for securities purchased on margin. The debt bears a variable interest rate. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the interest rate was 0.6% and 0.5% per annum, respectively. The securities margin payable is due upon the sale of the marketable securities.

This interest rate swap fixed the floating LIBOR based debt under a variable rate loan to a fixed rate debt at an interest rate of 2.26% per annum plus the applicable margin to manage the risk exposure to interest rate fluctuations, or an effective fixed rate of 5.01%.

On June 22, 2011, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement with an original notional value of $13,359 and a maturity date of June 22, 2016 associated with the debt secured by a first mortgage on the Shoppes at Prairie Ridge property.

The Company has documented and designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. Based on the assessment of effectiveness using statistical regression, the Company determined that the interest rate swaps are effective. Effectiveness testing of the hedge relationship and measurement to quantify ineffectiveness is performed each fiscal quarter using the hypothetical derivative method. As these interest rate swaps qualify as cash flow hedges, the Company adjusts the cash flow hedges on a quarterly basis to their fair values with corresponding offsets to accumulated other comprehensive income. The interest rate swaps have been and are expected to remain highly effective for the life of the hedge. Effective amounts are reclassified to interest expense as the related hedged expense is incurred. Any ineffectiveness on the hedges is reported in other income/expense. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had less than $1 of ineffectiveness on its cash flow hedges. Amounts related to the swaps expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense in the next twelve months total $484.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedges as well as their classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

(10) Income Taxes

The Company is qualified and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for federal income tax purposes commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 2009. Since the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to stockholders. A REIT is subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distributes at least 90% of its taxable income (subject to certain adjustments) to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, without the benefit of certain relief provisions, the Company will be subject to federal (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or net worth and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company expects no significant increases or decreases in uncertain tax positions due to changes in tax positions within one year of

December 31, 2011. The Company has no interest or penalties relating to income taxes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. As of December 31, 2011, returns for the calendar years 2008 and 2009 remain subject to examination by U.S. and various state and local tax jurisdictions.

(11) Distributions

The Company currently pays distributions based on daily record dates, payable monthly in arrears. The distributions that the Company currently pays are equal to a daily amount equal to $0.00164384, which if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 6.0% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company declared cash distributions, totaling $25,263, $8,203 and $212, respectively.

(12) Earnings (loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the “common shares”). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the common shares plus potential common shares issuable upon exercising options or other contracts. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have any dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

(13) Commitments and Contingencies

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding commitments to fund approximately $7,566 into the Temple Terrace joint venture. The Company intends on funding these commitments with proceeds from the Offering.

The acquisition of ten of the Company’s properties included earnout components to the purchase price, meaning the Company did not pay a portion of the purchase price of the property at closing, although the Company owns the entire property. The Company is not obligated to pay the contingent portion of the purchase prices unless space which was vacant at the time of acquisition is later rented within the time limits and parameters set forth in the acquisition agreements. The earnout payments are based on a predetermined formula applied to rental income received. The earnout agreements have a limited obligation period ranging from two to three years from the date of acquisition. If at the end of the time period certain space has not been leased, occupied and rent producing, the Company will have no further obligation to pay additional purchase price consideration and will retain ownership of that entire property. Based on its best estimate, the Company has recorded a liability for the potential future earnout payments based on an estimate fair value at the date of acquisition using Level 3 inputs including lease-up period, market rents, probability of occupancy and discount rate.

Such amounts have been recorded as additional purchase price of those properties and as a liability included in deferred investment property acquisition obligations on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The liability increases as the anticipated payment date draws near based on a present value; such increases in the liability are recorded as amortization expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. The Company records changes in the underlying liability assumptions to acquisition related costs on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. The maximum potential payment was $30,023 at December 31, 2011. The table below presents the change in the Company’s earnout liability for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

The Company has provided a partial guarantee on four loans of our subsidiaries. Two loans are recourse for 50% of the unpaid principal and 100% of unpaid interest. As of December 31, 2011, the outstanding principal balance on these two loans totaled $40,500 (note 9). One additional loan is recourse for $2,200 of unpaid principal and interest and another loan is recourse for a total of $25,000 of the unpaid principal and 100% of unpaid interest (note 9).

The Company may be subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

(14) Segment Reporting

The Company has one reportable segment as defined by U.S. GAAP for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. As the Company acquires additional properties in the future, we anticipate adding business segments and related disclosures when they become significant.

(15) Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events and transactions that have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2011 for potential recognition and disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.

Our board of directors declared distributions payable to stockholders of record each day beginning on the close of business on January 1, 2012 through the close of business on April 30, 2012. Distributions were declared in a

On January 5, 2012, the Company acquired a fee simple interest in a 20,707 square foot retail property known as Dollar General Market – Port St. Joe located in Port St. Joe, Florida. The Company purchased this property from an unaffiliated third party for approximately $3,590.

On February 2, 2012, the Company entered into a $6,181 loan secured by cross-collateralized first mortgages on the entire Dollar General portfolio consisting of ten properties. This loan bears interest at a fixed rate equal to 5.25%, and matures on February 2, 2017.

As of March 1, 2011, our Company received proceeds from our Offering (including DRP), net of commissions, marketing contributions, and due diligence expense reimbursements, of approximately $595,962 and has issued approximately 66,077,645 shares of common stock.

On March 8, 2012, the Company acquired a fee simple interest in a 179,858 square foot retail property known as Hamilton Crossing located in Alcoa, Tennessee. The Company purchased this property from an unaffiliated third party for approximately $30,098.

On March 9, 2012, the Company acquired a fee simple interest in a 348,700 square foot retail property known as Shoppes at Branson Hills located in Branson, Missouri. The Company purchased this property from an unaffiliated third party for approximately $38,528 not including a contingent earnout component of $912. Additionally, the Company is under contract to purchase an additional 99,025 square feet contingent on assuming an existing mortgage payable of $12,149.

On March 9, 2012, the company acquired a fee simple interest in a 10,566 square foot Dollar General store located in Buffalo, New York. The Company purchased this property from an unaffiliated third party for approximately $1,350.

On March 14, 2012, the Company entered into a loan modification agreement on the first mortgage loan encumbering Landstown Commons. This modification extends the maturity date from March 24, 2012 to September 25, 2013 and reduces the interest rate from LIBOR plus 3.00% per annum to LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum. The principal amount of the loan is unchanged at $50,140.

For pro forma purposes, the effects of the acquisitions, which closed on or subsequent to March 8, 2012, have not been disclosed as the initial purchase price accounting was incomplete at the time the financial statements were issued.
