Key Financial Measures

Core FFO before noncontrolling interest, for the third quarter of 2011, was approximately $6.6 million and Core FFO attributable to common stockholders was approximately $4.4 million, or $0.28 per common share. These results exclude approximately $0.5 million of property acquisition costs and nonrecurring formation transaction and offering costs.  These results also exclude $0.8 million of gain on interest rate swaps and a $0.8 million deduction for above/below market lease amortization. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, was $7.8 million and includes a $1.8 million termination income, which is excluded from our Core FFO metric.

Adjusted FFO before noncontrolling interest, for the third quarter of 2011, was approximately $5.9 million and adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders was approximately $3.9 million, or $0.25 per

common share.  These results adjusted Core FFO to exclude straight line rental income of $0.5 million, recurring capital expenditures of $0.5 million, and lease renewal commissions and tenant improvements of $0.2 million.  These adjustments also exclude deferred financing cost amortization of $0.3 million and amortization of non-cash compensation of $0.2 million.

Cash NOI before noncontrolling interest, for the third quarter of 2011, was approximately $14.5 million and Cash NOI attributable to common stockholders was approximately $9.7 million.  The reconciliation of GAAP NOI to Cash NOI excludes approximately $0.5 million of straight line positive rental income adjustment and a $0.8 million deduction for above/below market lease amortization.

A reconciliation of net loss to Core FFO and Cash NOI, both non-GAAP financial measures, appears at the end of this release.

The Company has included in a supplemental information package the results and operating statistics that reflect the activities of the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  See below regarding information for the supplemental information package.

Continued Improving Leasing Activity

In the third quarter, the Company signed renewals for 825,400 square feet, including approximately 188,000 square feet of space with leases originally scheduled to expire in 2011. By the end of the third quarter approximately 945,000 square feet or 88% of all the leases originally scheduled to expire in 2011 have been renewed.  The average rent per square foot paid on the 945,000 square feet of renewed leases year to date increased by 2.9%, compared to the expiring rent paid on a cash basis. The Company also leased approximately 301,000 square feet of new leases and another approximately 21,000 square feet of leases to tenants expanding their space.  Occupancy for the Company’s portfolio was 92.2% as of September 30, 2011. Same store occupancy increased from 90.5% to 90.8%.

Continued Acquisition Activity

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of six fully leased industrial facilities consisting of approximately 1.7 million square feet.  These properties include a 420,690 square foot facility located in Portland, Oregon that is 52% leased to Unisource Worldwide, Inc. and 48% leased to Benson Industries, LLC; a 305,550 square foot facility located in St. Louis, Missouri that is 100% leased to Cott Beverages, Inc.; a 200,000 square foot facility located in Norton, Massachusetts that is 100% leased to Plantation Products, LLC; a 226,256 square foot facility located in Conyers, Georgia that is 100% leased to Diversitech Corporation; and two facilities containing a total of 497,820 square feet located in Louisville, Kentucky that are 100% leased to Exel, Inc.  The Company paid approximately $58 million, including closing costs, for the six assets.

In addition, since the end of the third quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of a 383,000 square foot warehouse and distribution facility located near Columbus, Ohio that is 100% leased to Arrow-Intechra, LLC.  The Company paid approximately $7.8 million, including closing costs, for the asset.

The Company also entered into contracts to acquire five separate properties comprising 700,120 square feet for a combined purchase price of approximately $29.7 million. There are significant conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied so there can be no assurance that these transactions will be consummated.

Financial Strength and Flexibility

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company continued to maintain a strong balance sheet.  As of quarter end, the Company had approximately $309 million of debt outstanding, none of which matures in the next 24 months.  The Company’s debt to annualized adjusted EBITDA was 6.0x; the interest coverage ratio was 3.1x; and the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding debt was 5.6%,

excluding the revolving credit facility.  Annualized adjusted EBITDA was calculated based on annualizing the Company’s results for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  At quarter end, there was $17.5 million outstanding under the Company’s $100 million revolving credit facility, there was availability of approximately $29.5 million based on the then current unencumbered collateral pool and the Company’s cash balance was $12 million.

On November 2, 2011, the Company sold 2,760,000 shares of 9.0% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $69 million, before underwriting discounts and offering expenses.  The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to pay off the outstanding amount due under the revolving credit facility, resulting in availability of approximately $60 million based on the revised revolver terms and a cash balance of approximately $50 million.

Financial Measures

Net operating income (NOI) is defined as rental revenues, including reimbursements, less property expenses and real estate taxes, which excludes depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, gain (loss) on interest rate swaps, asset management fee income, property acquisition costs and nonrecurring formation transaction costs. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure because it reflects the operating performance of its properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the property.  However, this measure should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company’s financial performance since it excludes expenses which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations. Further, the Company’s NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI and cash NOI.

NAREIT developed FFO as a relative measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that the value of income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. FFO is generally defined as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization.  NAREIT’s definition of FFO is subject to interpretation, and modifications to the NAREIT definition of FFO are common.

The Company presents Core FFO excluding property acquisition costs and nonrecurring formation transaction and offering costs, gain (loss) on interest rate swaps and amortization of above and below market leases.  The Company believes that Core FFO, excluding property acquisition costs, nonrecurring formation transaction and offering costs, gain (loss) on interest rate swaps, and amortization of above and below market leases, is useful supplemental information regarding its operating performance as it provides a more meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company’s operating performance and allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s operating results.  Readers should note that FFO captures neither the changes in the value of the Company’s properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company’s properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact the Company’s results from operations. Accordingly, the Company’s Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ FFO and FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders as a measure of the Company’s performance.

The Company believes that EBITDA is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of a real estate company because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of the Company’s industrial properties. The Company also uses this measure in ratios to compare its performance to that of its industry peers.  The Company presents EBITDA excluding property acquisition costs, nonrecurring formation transaction and offering costs, gain (loss) on interest rate swaps and amortization of above and below market leases. The Company believes that EBITDA excluding property acquisition costs, nonrecurring formation transaction and offering costs, gain (loss) on interest rate swaps and amortization of above and below market leases, is useful supplemental information regarding its operating performance as it provides a more meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company’s operating performance and allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s operating results.
