NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation that was formed on July 27, 2010, which has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company is the sole general partner of and owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the partnership interests in Cole Operating Partnership IV, LP, a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is externally managed by Cole REIT Advisors IV, LLC (“CR IV Advisors”), an affiliate of the Company’s sponsor, Cole Capital™, which is a trade name used to refer to a group of affiliated entities directly or indirectly controlled by American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (“ARCP”), a self-managed publicly traded REIT, organized as a Maryland corporation, listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market. On February 7, 2014, ARCP acquired Cole Real Estate Investments, Inc. (“Cole”), which, prior to its acquisition, indirectly owned and/or controlled the Company’s external advisor, CR IV Advisors, the Company’s dealer manager, Cole Capital Corporation (“CCC”), the Company’s property manager, CREI Advisors, LLC (“CREI Advisors”), and the Company’s sponsor, Cole Capital. As a result of ARCP’s acquisition of Cole, ARCP indirectly owns and/or controls CR IV Advisors, CCC, CREI Advisors and Cole Capital.
On January 26, 2012, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-169533) (the “Registration Statement”) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company commenced its initial public offering on a “best efforts” basis of up to a maximum of $2.975 billion in shares of common stock (the “Offering”). On November 25, 2013, the Company reallocated $400.0 million in shares from its distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) to the primary portion of the Offering, and on February 18, 2014, the Company reallocated an additional $23.0 million in shares from the DRIP to the primary portion of the Offering. As a result of these reallocations, the Offering offered up to a maximum of approximately 292.3 million shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share in the primary portion of the Offering and up to approximately 5.5 million additional shares pursuant to the DRIP under which the Company’s stockholders could have elected to have distributions reinvested in additional shares of common stock at a price of $9.50 per share.
As of February 25, 2014, the Company no longer accepted subscription agreements in connection with the Offering because it had received subscription agreements that allowed it to reach the maximum primary offering. The Company ceased issuing shares in the Offering on April 4, 2014. At the completion of the Offering, a total of approximately 297.4 million shares of common stock had been issued, including approximately 292.3 million shares of common stock sold to the public pursuant to the primary portion of the Offering and approximately 5.1 million shares of common stock sold pursuant to the DRIP. The remaining approximately 404,000 unsold shares from the Offering were deregistered.
In addition, the Company registered 26.0 million shares of common stock under the DRIP pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-192958) (the “DRIP Offering” and collectively with the Offering, the “Offerings”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 19, 2013 and automatically became effective with the SEC upon filing. The Company has issued, and expects that it will continue to issue, shares of common stock in the DRIP Offering.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had issued approximately 300.3 million shares of its common stock in the Offerings, including 2.9 million shares issued in the DRIP Offering, for gross offering proceeds of $3.0 billion before organization and offering costs, selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $305.9 million. As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned 509 properties, which include properties owned through a consolidated joint venture arrangement (the “Consolidated Joint Venture”), comprising 14.7 million rentable square feet of commercial space located in 44 states. As of June 30, 2014, the rentable space at these properties was 99% leased. In addition, through an unconsolidated joint venture arrangement, as of June 30, 2014, the Company had an interest in one property comprising 176,000 rentable square feet of commercial space (the “Unconsolidated Joint Venture”).

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for the interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, and related notes thereto set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements should also be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and the Consolidated Joint Venture in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company evaluates its relationships and investments to determine if it has variable interests. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. If the Company determines that it has a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether such interest is in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is broadly defined as an entity where either (1) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company consolidates any VIEs when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s operations.
A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, its form of ownership interest, its representation on the entity’s governing body, the size and seniority of its investment, its ability and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions and to replace the manager of and/or liquidate the entity.
The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate its joint venture arrangements based on standards set forth in GAAP. In determining whether the Company has a controlling interest in a joint venture arrangement and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, power to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a VIE for which the Company may be the primary beneficiary. As of June 30, 2014, the Company determined that it had a controlling interest in the Consolidated Joint Venture, and, therefore, met the GAAP requirements for consolidation. As of June 30, 2014, the Consolidated Joint Venture held real estate assets with an aggregate book value of $19.2 million. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company was not required to consolidate the Unconsolidated Joint Venture as the applicable joint venture entity did not qualify as a VIE and the Company did not meet the control requirement for consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment in and Valuation of Real Estate Assets
Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Amounts capitalized to real estate assets consist of the cost of acquisition, excluding acquisition related expenses, construction and any tenant improvements, major improvements and betterments that extend the useful life of the real estate assets and leasing costs. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its depreciable assets. The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine the appropriate useful life of the assets. Real estate assets, other than land, are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s real estate assets by class are generally as follows:
Buildings | 40 years |
Tenant improvements | Lesser of useful life or lease term |
Intangible lease assets | Lease term |
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate assets may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators that the Company considers include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a property’s major tenant, such as a history of late payments, rental concessions and other factors, a significant decrease in a property’s revenues due to lease terminations, vacancies, co-tenancy clauses, reduced lease rates or other circumstances. When indicators of potential impairment are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying amount of the assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, the Company will adjust the real estate assets to their respective fair values and recognize an impairment loss. Generally, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. No impairment indicators were identified and no impairment losses were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.
When developing estimates of expected future cash flows, the Company makes certain assumptions regarding future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, terminal capitalization and discount rates, the expected number of months it takes to re-lease the property, required tenant improvements and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of alternative assumptions in estimating expected future cash flows could result in a different determination of the property’s expected future cash flows and a different conclusion regarding the existence of an impairment, the extent of such loss, if any, as well as the fair value of the real estate assets.
When a real estate asset is identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company will cease depreciation and amortization of the assets related to the property and estimate the fair value, net of selling costs. If, in management’s opinion, the fair value, net of selling costs, of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to the carrying amount would be recorded to reflect the estimated fair value of the property, net of selling costs. There were no assets identified as held for sale as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.
Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate Assets
Upon the acquisition of real properties, the Company allocates the purchase price to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above market and below market leases and the value of in-place leases, based in each case on their respective fair values. Acquisition related expenses are expensed as incurred. The Company utilizes independent appraisals to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and buildings). The Company obtains an independent appraisal for each real property acquisition. The information in the appraisal, along with any additional information available to the Company’s management, is used in estimating the amount of the purchase price that is allocated to land. Other information in the appraisal, such as building value and market rents, may be used by the Company’s management in estimating the allocation of purchase price to the building and to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The appraisal firm has no involvement in management’s allocation decisions other than providing this market information.

The fair values of above market and below market lease intangibles are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (2) an estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, which is generally obtained from independent appraisals, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease including any bargain renewal periods, with respect to a below market lease. The above market and below market lease intangibles are capitalized as intangible lease assets or liabilities, respectively. Above market leases are amortized as a reduction to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Below market leases are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases, including any bargain renewal periods. In considering whether or not the Company expects a tenant to execute a bargain renewal option, the Company evaluates economic factors and certain qualitative factors at the time of acquisition, such as the financial strength of the tenant, remaining lease term, the tenant mix of the leased property, the Company’s relationship with the tenant and the availability of competing tenant space. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of above market or below market lease intangibles relating to that lease would be recorded as an adjustment to rental income.
The fair values of in-place leases include estimates of direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant and opportunity costs associated with lost rental and other property income, which are avoided by acquiring a property with an in-place lease. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions and other direct costs and are estimated in part by utilizing information obtained from independent appraisals and management’s consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. The intangible values of opportunity costs, which are calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease, are capitalized as intangible lease assets and are amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of in-place lease assets relating to that lease would be expensed.
The Company has acquired, and may continue to acquire, certain properties subject to contingent consideration arrangements that may obligate the Company to pay additional consideration to the seller based on the outcome of future events (the “Contingent Payments”). Additionally, the Company may acquire certain properties for which it funds certain contingent consideration amounts into an escrow account pending the outcome of certain future events. The outcome may result in the release of all or a portion of the escrowed funds to the Company or the seller or a combination thereof. Contingent consideration arrangements are based on a predetermined formula and have set time periods regarding the obligation to make future payments, including funds released to the seller from escrow accounts, or the right to receive escrowed funds as set forth in the respective purchase and sale agreement. Contingent consideration arrangements, including amounts funded through an escrow account, are recorded upon acquisition of the respective property at their estimated fair values, and any changes to the estimated fair values, subsequent to acquisition, are reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited statements of operations. The determination of the amount of contingent consideration arrangements is based on the probability of several possible outcomes as identified by management.
The Company estimates the fair value of assumed mortgage notes payable based upon indications of current market pricing for similar types of debt financing with similar maturities. Assumed mortgage notes payable are initially recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and any difference between such estimated fair value and the mortgage note’s outstanding principal balance is amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective mortgage note payable.
The determination of the fair values of the real estate assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, capitalization and discount rates, interest rates and other variables. The use of alternative estimates may result in a different allocation of the Company’s purchase price, which could impact the Company’s results of operations.
Noncontrolling Interest-Redeemable Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture
On June 27, 2014, the Company completed the formation of the Consolidated Joint Venture. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, the joint venture partner has a right to exercise an option after two years whereby the Company will be required to purchase the ownership interest of the joint venture partner at fair market value. The Company determined it had a controlling interest in the Consolidated Joint Venture and therefore met the GAAP requirements for consolidation. The Company initially recorded the noncontrolling interest at its acquisition-date fair value of $963,000 as temporary equity, in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet, due to the redemption option existing outside the control of the Company.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture
The Company accounts for its unconsolidated joint venture arrangement using the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of this investment. The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in the Unconsolidated Joint Venture’s earnings and distributions. The Company is required to determine whether an event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of its investment in the Unconsolidated Joint Venture. If an event or change in circumstance has occurred, the Company is required to evaluate the Unconsolidated Joint Venture for potential impairment and determine if the carrying amount of its investment exceeds its fair value. An impairment charge is recorded when an impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until the carrying amount is fully recovered. The evaluation of an investment in an Unconsolidated Joint Venture for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain assumptions. The use of different judgments and assumptions could result in different conclusions. No impairment indicators were identified and no impairment losses were recorded related to the Unconsolidated Joint Venture for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company did not own any interests in any joint venture arrangements for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Restricted Cash and Escrows
The Company had $2.3 million and $2.6 million held by lenders in lockbox accounts as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, that was included in restricted cash. As part of certain debt agreements, rents from certain encumbered properties are deposited directly into a lockbox account, from which the monthly debt service payment is disbursed to the lender and the excess is disbursed to the Company. Also included in restricted cash was $2.6 million and $513,000 held by lenders in escrow accounts for real estate taxes and other lender reserves for certain properties, in accordance with the respective lender’s loan agreement, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2013, $5.1 million of escrowed investor proceeds for which shares of common stock had not been issued was included in restricted cash.
Concentration of Credit Risk
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had cash on deposit, including restricted cash, at nine financial institutions, in all of which the Company had deposits in excess of federally insured levels totaling $483.5 million; however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company limits significant cash deposits to accounts held by financial institutions with high credit standing; therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash deposits.
As of June 30, 2014, no single tenant accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s 2014 gross annualized rental revenues. The Company had certain geographic concentrations in its property holdings. In particular, as of June 30, 2014, 65 of the Company’s properties were located in Texas and 15 of the Company’s properties were located in California, which accounted for 11% and 10%, respectively, of the Company’s 2014 gross annualized rental revenues. In addition, the Company had tenants in the discount store and drugstore industries, which comprised 14% and 11%, respectively, of the Company’s 2014 gross annualized rental revenues.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company accounts for its derivative instruments at fair value. Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument and the designation of the derivative instrument. The change in fair value of the effective portion of the derivative instrument that is designated as a hedge is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss). The changes in fair value for derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria are recorded as a gain or loss to operations.
Redeemable Common Stock
Under the Company’s share redemption program, the Company’s requirement to redeem shares of its outstanding common stock is limited, among other things, to the net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of shares under the DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date. The Company records amounts that are redeemable under the share redemption program as redeemable common stock outside of permanent equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets. Changes in the amount of redeemable common stock from period to period are recorded as an adjustment to capital in excess of par value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”), which amends the reporting requirements for discontinued operations by updating the definition of a discontinued operation to be a component of an entity that represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results, resulting in fewer disposals that qualify for discontinued operations reporting; yet, the pronouncement also requires expanded disclosures for discontinued operations. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements because the Company did not have any discontinued operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and requires an entity to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, including real estate sales, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. The Company does not believe ASU 2014-09, when effective, will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements because the Company currently accounts for real estate sales in a manner that is consistent with ASU 2014-09.
NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 – Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs, which are only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect the Company’s assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.
The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash – The Company considers the carrying values of these financial assets to approximate fair value because of the short period of time between their origination and their expected realization. These financial assets are considered Level 1.
Notes payable and credit facility – The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Company as of the measurement date. These financial instruments are considered Level 2. As of June 30, 2014, the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $743.8 million compared to the carrying value of $747.7 million. As of December 31, 2013, the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $682.1 million compared to the carrying value of $696.9 million.

Derivative instruments – The Company’s derivative instruments represent interest rate swaps. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of these instruments is determined using interest rate market pricing models. The Company includes the impact of credit valuation adjustments on derivative instruments measured at fair value.
Contingent consideration arrangements – The contingent consideration arrangements are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the Contingent Payments is determined based on the estimated timing and probability of successfully leasing vacant space subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of certain properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded additional obligations with an aggregate estimated fair value of $5.3 million upon purchase of certain properties. The total estimated fair value of contingent consideration arrangements was $5.8 million and $784,000 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets in deferred rental income and other liabilities. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company paid $348,000 to a seller as obligations under certain contingent consideration arrangements were satisfied.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize, or be liable for, on disposition of the financial assets and liabilities. As of June 30, 2014, there have been no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between fair value hierarchy levels.
In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following tables show the fair value of the Company’s financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Additional disclosures related to the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are included in Note 3. The notional amount under the interest rate swap agreements is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in each instrument, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.
Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. The Company designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges, to hedge the variability of the anticipated cash flows on its variable rate debt. The change in fair value of the effective portion of the derivative instruments that is designated as hedges are recorded in other comprehensive loss. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instruments is recorded in interest expense.

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its unsecured indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations resulting in an acceleration of payment. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their aggregate termination value of $5.7 million at June 30, 2014. In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its derivative counterparties. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into agreements with creditworthy counterparties. The Company records credit risk valuation adjustments on its interest rate swaps based on the respective credit quality of the Company and the counterparty. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, there were no termination events or events of default related to the interest rate swaps.
NOTE 6 — NOTES PAYABLE AND CREDIT FACILITY
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $747.7 million of debt outstanding, with a weighted average years to maturity of 6.7 years and weighted average interest rate of 3.8%.

As of June 30, 2014, the fixed rate debt outstanding of $447.7 million included $38.7 million of variable rate debt subject to interest rate swap agreements, which had the effect of fixing the variable interest rates per annum through the maturity date of the variable rate debt. In addition, the fixed rate debt includes a mortgage note assumed with a face amount of $25.2 million and a fair value of $26.0 million at the date of assumption. The fixed rate debt has interest rates ranging from 3.35% to 4.98% per annum. The debt outstanding matures on various dates from June 2018 through February 2024. The aggregate balance of gross real estate assets, net of gross intangible lease liabilities, securing the fixed rate debt outstanding was $772.4 million as of June 30, 2014. Each of the mortgage notes payable, comprising the fixed rate debt, is secured by the respective properties on which the debt was placed. Certain notes payable contain covenants, representations, warranties and borrowing conditions customary for similar credit arrangements. These notes also include usual and customary events of default and remedies for agreements of this nature. Based on the Company’s analysis and review of its results of operations and financial condition, the Company believes it was in compliance with the covenants of such notes payable as of June 30, 2014.
The Company has an amended and restated unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”), which provides for borrowings of up to $900.0 million, which includes a $300.0 million unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”) and up to $600.0 million in unsecured revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”). The Credit Facility may be increased up to a maximum of $1.25 billion. The Term Loan matures on August 15, 2018 and the Revolving Loans mature on August 15, 2017; however, the Company may elect to extend the maturity date for the Revolving Loans to August 15, 2018 subject to satisfying certain conditions set forth in the amended and restated unsecured credit agreement among the Company and JPMorgan Chase, as administrative agent (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). Depending upon the type of loan specified and overall leverage ratio, not to exceed 65% (or 60% on or subsequent to August 15, 2014), the Revolving Loans bear interest at one-month, two-month, three-month or six-month LIBOR multiplied by the statutory reserve rate (the “Eurodollar Rate”) plus an interest rate spread ranging from 1.65% to 2.50% (the “Spread”) or a base rate, ranging from 0.65% to 1.50%, plus the greater of: (a) JPMorgan Chase’s Prime Rate; (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus 0.50%; or (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%. The Company executed a swap agreement associated with the Term Loan, which had the effect of fixing the variable interest rate per annum on August 15, 2013 through the maturity date of the loan at 1.713% (the “Swap Rate”). The Term Loan bears interest at the Swap Rate plus the Spread, which totaled 3.36% as of June 30, 2014 based on the Company’s leverage ratio. There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loans as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $300.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility and $582.9 million available for borrowing based on the underlying collateral pool of $1.4 billion.

Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company potentially may be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company owns certain properties that are subject to environmental remediation. In each case, the seller of the property, the tenant of the property and/or another third party has been identified as the responsible party for environmental remediation costs related to the respective property. Additionally, in connection with the purchase of certain of the properties, the respective sellers and/or tenants have indemnified the Company against future remediation costs. In addition, the Company carries environmental liability insurance on its properties that provides limited coverage for remediation liability and pollution liability for third-party bodily injury and property damage claims. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the environmental matters identified at such properties will have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, nor is it aware of any environmental matters at other properties which it believes are reasonably possible to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Additionally, CR IV Advisors or its affiliates are reimbursed for acquisition related expenses incurred in the process of acquiring properties, so long as the total acquisition fees and expenses relating to the transaction do not exceed 6.0% of the contract purchase price.

Liquidation/Listing
If CR IV Advisors or its affiliates provide a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of the Company’s independent directors) in connection with the sale of properties, the Company will pay CR IV Advisors or its affiliate a disposition fee in an amount equal to up to one-half of the brokerage commission paid on the sale of the property, not to exceed 1.0% of the contract price of the property sold; provided, however, in no event may the disposition fee paid to CR IV Advisors or its affiliates, when added to the real estate commissions paid to unaffiliated third parties, exceed the lesser of the customary competitive real estate commission or an amount equal to 6.0% of the contract sales price.
If the Company is sold or its assets are liquidated, CR IV Advisors will be entitled to receive a subordinated performance fee equal to 15.0% of the net sale proceeds remaining after investors have received a return of their net capital invested and an 8.0% annual cumulative, non-compounded return. Alternatively, if the Company’s shares are listed on a national securities exchange, CR IV Advisors will be entitled to a subordinated performance fee equal to 15.0% of the amount by which the market value of the Company’s outstanding stock plus all distributions paid by the Company prior to listing exceeds the sum of the total amount of capital raised from investors and the amount of distributions necessary to generate an 8.0% annual cumulative, non-compounded return to investors. As an additional alternative, upon termination of the advisory agreement, CR IV Advisors may be entitled to a subordinated performance fee similar to the fee to which CR IV Advisors would have been entitled had the portfolio been liquidated (based on an independent appraised value of the portfolio) on the date of termination.

Forward-Looking Statements
Except for historical information, this section contains certain 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”). We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable by law. Such statements include, in particular, discussion and analysis of our financial condition and our subsidiaries, our anticipated capital expenditures, amounts of anticipated cash distributions to our stockholders in the future and other matters. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but are the intent, belief or current expectations of our management based on their knowledge and understanding of our business and industry. Words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should” or comparable words, variations and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements not based on historical fact are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements that were true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false.

The forward looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors identified under “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Overview
We were formed on July 27, 2010, and we elected to be taxed, and currently qualify, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We commenced our principal operations on April 13, 2012, when we satisfied the conditions of our escrow agreement and issued approximately 308,000 shares of our common stock. We have no paid employees and are externally advised and managed by CR IV Advisors. As of June 30, 2014, we had issued approximately 300.3 million shares of our common stock in the Offerings for gross offering proceeds of $3.0 billion before offering costs, selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $305.9 million. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the Offerings to acquire and operate a diverse portfolio of retail and other income-producing commercial properties, which are leased to tenants under long-term leases. We expect that most of the properties will continue to be strategically located throughout the United States and U.S. protectorates and subject to long-term triple net or double net leases, whereby the tenant will be obligated to pay for all or most of the expenses of maintaining the property (including real estate taxes, special assessments and sales and use taxes, utilities, insurance, building repairs and common area maintenance related to the property). We generally intend to hold each property we acquire for an extended period of more than seven years.
On February 7, 2014, ARCP acquired Cole, which, prior to its acquisition, indirectly owned and/or controlled our external advisor, CR IV Advisors, our dealer manager, CCC, our property manager, CREI Advisors, and our sponsor, Cole Capital. As a result of ARCP’s acquisition of Cole, ARCP indirectly owns and/or controls CR IV Advisors, CCC, CREI Advisors and Cole Capital.
Our operating results and cash flows are primarily influenced by rental income from our commercial properties, interest expense on our property indebtedness and acquisition and operating expenses. Rental and other property income accounted for 86% and 89% of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 86% and 90% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As 99% of our rentable square feet was under lease as of June 30, 2014 with a weighted average remaining lease term of 12.3 years, we believe our exposure to changes in commercial rental rates on our portfolio is substantially mitigated, except for vacancies caused by tenant bankruptcies or other factors. CR IV Advisors regularly monitors the creditworthiness of our tenants by reviewing the tenant’s financial results, credit rating agency reports, when available, on the tenant or guarantor, the operating history of the property with such tenant, the tenant’s market share and track record within its industry segment, the general health and outlook of the tenant’s industry segment and other information for changes and possible trends. If CR IV Advisors identifies significant changes or trends that may adversely affect the creditworthiness of a tenant, it will gather a more in-depth knowledge of the tenant’s financial condition and, if necessary, attempt to mitigate the tenant credit risk by evaluating the possible sale of the property or identifying a possible replacement tenant should the current tenant fail to perform on the lease. In addition, as of June 30, 2014, the debt leverage ratio of our consolidated real estate assets, which is the ratio of debt to total gross real estate and related assets net of gross intangible lease liabilities, was 26%.
As we acquire additional commercial real estate, we will be subject to changes in real estate prices and changes in interest rates on any new indebtedness used to acquire the properties. We may manage our risk of changes in real estate prices on future property acquisitions, when applicable, by entering into purchase agreements and loan commitments simultaneously, or through loan assumption, so that our operating yield is determinable at the time we enter into a purchase agreement, by contracting with developers for future delivery of properties, or by entering into sale-leaseback transactions. We manage our interest rate risk by monitoring the interest rate environment in connection with our future property acquisitions, when applicable, or upcoming debt maturities to determine the appropriate financing or refinancing terms, which may include fixed rate loans, variable rate loans or interest rate hedges. If we are unable to acquire suitable properties or obtain suitable financing terms for future acquisitions or refinancing, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
23
Results of Operations
Our results of operations are influenced by the timing of acquisitions and the operating performance of our real estate investments, including the Consolidated Joint Venture. The following table shows the property statistics of our real estate assets as of June 30, 2014 and 2013:
June 30, | ||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||
Number of commercial properties (1) | 509 | 178 | ||||

As shown in the tables above, we owned 509 commercial properties as of June 30, 2014, compared to 178 commercial properties as of June 30, 2013. Accordingly, our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, reflect significant increases in most categories.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013
Revenue. Revenue increased $35.1 million to $56.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $21.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Our revenue consisted primarily of rental and other property income from net leased commercial properties, which accounted for 86% and 89% of total revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We also recorded tenant reimbursement income of $7.8 million related to certain operating expenses paid by us subject to reimbursement by tenants during the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $2.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the acquisition of 331 rental income-producing properties subsequent to June 30, 2013.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $2.0 million to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to increased escrow and trustee fees and operating expense reimbursements to our advisor as a result of an increase in the number of stockholders of record and the acquisition of 331 rental income-producing properties subsequent to June 30, 2013, combined with an increase in operating expense reimbursements to our advisor for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. The primary general and administrative expense items are escrow and trustee fees, operating expense reimbursements to our advisor, fees for unused amounts on the Credit Facility and accounting fees.
Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses increased $5.9 million to $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 331 rental income-producing properties subsequent to June 30, 2013. In addition, the increase was due to the ownership of more properties during the three months ended June 30, 2014 than in the three months ended June 30, 2013, for which we initially pay certain operating expenses and are reimbursed by the tenant in accordance with the respective lease agreements. The primary property operating expense items are property taxes, repairs and maintenance and property related insurance.
24
Advisory Fees and Expenses. Pursuant to the advisory agreement with CR IV Advisors and based upon the amount of our current invested assets, we are required to pay to CR IV Advisors a monthly advisory fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the average invested assets that are between $0 to $2.0 billion and a monthly advisory fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.70% of the average invested assets that are between $2.0 billion to $4.0 billion. Additionally, we may be required to reimburse certain expenses incurred by CR IV Advisors in providing such advisory services, subject to limitations as set forth in the advisory agreement. Advisory fees and expenses increased $3.2 million to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was due to an increase in our average invested assets to $2.7 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $966.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Acquisition Related Expenses. Acquisition related expenses decreased $4.5 million to $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to the acquisition related expenses incurred in connection with the purchase of 104 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $343.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the purchase of 57 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $532.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $11.6 million to $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our average invested assets to $2.7 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $966.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Interest Expense and Other. Interest expense and other increased $2.0 million to $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average aggregate amount of debt outstanding to $747.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $507.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013, as well as an increase to the amortization of deferred financing costs, offset by an increase to equity in income related to the Unconsolidated Joint Venture.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Revenue. Revenue increased $75.2 million to $108.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $33.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Our revenue consisted primarily of rental and other property income from net leased commercial properties, which accounted for 86% and 90% of total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We also recorded tenant reimbursement income of $15.1 million related to certain operating expenses paid by us subject to reimbursement by tenants during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $3.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the acquisition of 331 rental income-producing properties subsequent to June 30, 2013.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $3.5 million to $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to increased escrow and trustee fees and operating expense reimbursements to our advisor as a result of an increase in the number of stockholders of record and the acquisition of 331 rental income-producing properties subsequent to June 30, 2013, combined with an increase in operating expense to our advisor and accounting fees for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. The primary general and administrative expense items are escrow and trustee fees, operating expense reimbursements to our advisor, fees for unused amounts on the Credit Facility and accounting fees.
Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses increased $12.9 million to $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 331 rental income-producing properties subsequent to June 30, 2013. In addition, the increase was due to the ownership of more properties during the six months ended June 30, 2014 than in the six months ended June 30, 2013, for which we initially pay certain operating expenses and are reimbursed by the tenant in accordance with the respective lease agreements. The primary property operating expense items are property taxes, repairs and maintenance and property related insurance.
25
Advisory Fees and Expenses. Pursuant to the advisory agreement with CR IV Advisors and based upon the amount of our current invested assets, we are required to pay to CR IV Advisors a monthly advisory fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the average invested assets that are between $0 to $2.0 billion and a monthly advisory fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.70% of the average invested assets that are between $2.0 billion to $4.0 billion. Additionally, we may be required to reimburse certain expenses incurred by CR IV Advisors in providing such advisory services, subject to limitations as set forth in the advisory agreement. Advisory fees and expenses increased $6.8 million to $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was due to an increase in our average invested assets to $2.5 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $873.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Acquisition Related Expenses. Acquisition related expenses decreased $1.5 million to $18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $20.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to the acquisition related expenses incurred in connection with the purchase of 172 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $624.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the purchase of 89 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $717.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $25.1 million to $35.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our average invested assets to $2.5 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $873.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Interest Expense and Other. Interest expense and other increased $6.8 million to $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average aggregate amount of debt outstanding to $722.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $476.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, as well as an increase to the amortization of deferred financing costs, offset by an increase to equity in income related to the Unconsolidated Joint Venture.
Distributions
Our board of directors authorized a daily distribution, based on 365 days in the calendar year, of $0.001712523 per share (which equates to 6.25% on an annualized basis calculated at the current rate, assuming a $10.00 per share purchase price) for stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing on January 1, 2014 and ending on September 30, 2014.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we paid distributions of $82.4 million and $12.8 million, respectively, including $48.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively, through the issuance of shares pursuant to the DRIP. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $36.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and reflected a reduction for real estate acquisition related expenses incurred of $18.7 million and $20.2 million, respectively. We treat our real estate acquisition related expenses as funded by proceeds from the Offerings, including proceeds from the DRIP. Therefore, proceeds from the issuance of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are considered a source of our distributions to the extent that real estate acquisition related expenses have reduced net cash flows from operating activities. Our 2014 distributions were funded by net cash provided by operating activities of $36.8 million, or 45%, proceeds from the Offerings, including excess proceeds from the Offerings from prior periods, of $37.6 million, or 46%, and net borrowings of $8.0 million, or 9%. The distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2013 were funded by proceeds from the Offering of $12.8 million, or 100%.
26
Share Redemptions
Our share redemption program permits our stockholders to sell their shares back to us after they have held them for at least one year, subject to significant conditions and limitations. The share redemption program provides that we will redeem shares of our common stock from requesting stockholders, subject to the terms and conditions of the share redemption program. We will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid. Funding for the redemption of shares will be limited to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under the DRIP. In addition, we will redeem shares on a quarterly basis, at the rate of approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we redeemed 457,000 shares under our share redemption program for $4.4 million at an average redemption price of $9.69 per share. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had received valid redemption requests for an additional 289,000 shares, which were redeemed in full subsequent to June 30, 2014 for $2.8 million at an average redemption price of $9.77 per share. A valid redemption request is one that complies with the applicable requirements and guidelines of our current share redemption program. We have funded and intend to continue funding share redemptions with proceeds from the DRIP.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our principal demands for funds are for real estate and real estate-related investments, for the payment of operating expenses and distributions, for the payment of principal and interest on any outstanding indebtedness and to satisfy redemption requests. Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions from our cash flows from operations, and we expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions from the net proceeds of the Offerings and from debt financings. The sources of our operating cash flows will primarily be provided by the rental income received from our leased properties. We expect to continue utilize funds from the Offerings and proceeds from secured or unsecured financing to complete future property acquisitions.
As of June 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $481.3 million and available borrowings of $582.9 million under the Credit Facility. Additionally, as of June 30, 2014, we had unencumbered properties with a gross book value of $2.0 billion, including $1.4 billion of assets that are part of the Credit Facility’s unencumbered borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base Assets”), which may be used as collateral to secure additional financing in future periods or as additional collateral to facilitate the refinancing of current mortgage debt as it becomes due, subject to certain covenants and leverage and borrowing base restrictions related to the Credit Facility; however, the use of any Borrowing Base Assets as collateral would reduce the available borrowings under the Credit Facility.
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a short-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate related investments and the payment of acquisition related expenses, operating expenses, distributions and interest and principal on current and any future indebtedness. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations and proceeds from the Offerings, as well as secured or unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders to finance our expected future acquisitions. Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties are added to our portfolio. We believe that the resources stated above will be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements for the foreseeable future, and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from sources other than those described above within the next 12 months.
Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a long-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related investments and the payment of acquisition related expenses, operating expenses, distributions and redemptions to stockholders and interest and principal on any current and future indebtedness. Generally, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through net cash flows provided by operations, borrowings on the Credit Facility, proceeds from secured or unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders and proceeds from the DRIP Offering.
27
We expect that substantially all net cash flows from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, are paid; however, we may use other sources to fund distributions, as necessary, including borrowings on the Credit Facility, future borrowings on our unencumbered assets and/or proceeds from the DRIP Offering. To the extent that cash flows from operations are lower due to fewer properties being acquired or lower than expected returns on the properties, distributions paid to our stockholders may be lower. We expect that substantially all net cash flows from the DRIP Offering or debt financings will be used to fund acquisitions, certain capital expenditures identified at acquisition, repayments of outstanding debt or distributions to our stockholders.
As of June 30, 2014, we had issued approximately 300.3 million shares of our common stock in the Offerings resulting in gross proceeds of $3.0 billion.
As of June 30, 2014, we had $747.7 million of debt outstanding and the ratio of our debt to gross real estate and related assets, net of gross intangible lease liabilities, was 26%. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for certain terms of our debt outstanding.
Our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2014 were as follows (in thousands):
Payments due by period (1) (2) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Total | Less Than 1 Year | 1-3 Years | 3-5 Years | More Than 5 Years | ||||||||||||||||

(1) | The table does not include amounts due to CR IV Advisors or its affiliates pursuant to our advisory agreement because such amounts are not fixed and determinable. |
(2) | As of June 30, 2014, we had $38.7 million of variable rate debt effectively fixed through the use of interest rate swap agreements. We used the effective interest rates fixed under our swap agreements to calculate the debt payment obligations in future periods. |
(3) | As of June 30, 2014, the fair value adjustment, net of amortization, of mortgage notes assumed was $722,000, which is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets in notes payable and credit facility, but not in the table above. In addition, the fixed rate debt in the table above includes bond obligations assumed in connection with a property acquisition with an aggregate balance of $584,000, which is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets in deferred rental income and other liabilities. |
(4) | Payment obligations for the Term Loan outstanding under the Credit Facility are based on the interest rate of 3.36% as of June 30, 2014, which is the rate fixed under the executed swap agreement that had the effect of fixing the variable interest rate per annum through the maturity date of August 2018. |
We expect to incur additional borrowings in the future to acquire additional properties and make other real estate related investments. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow against any single improved property. Our future borrowings will not exceed 300% of our net assets as of the date of any borrowing, which is the maximum level of indebtedness permitted under the North American Securities Administrators Association REIT Guidelines; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors. Our board of directors has adopted a policy to further limit our borrowings to 60% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our gross assets, unless excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in the next quarterly report along with the justification for such excess borrowing. Our advisor has set a target leverage ratio of 40% to 50% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our gross assets.
28
As of June 30, 2014, we had entered into purchase agreements with unaffiliated third-party sellers to acquire a 100% interest in 74 retail properties, subject to meeting certain criteria, for an aggregate purchase price of $129.7 million, exclusive of closing costs. As of June 30, 2014, we had $7.1 million of property escrow deposits held by escrow agents in connection with these future property acquisitions, of which $6.4 million will be forfeited if the transactions are not completed under certain circumstances. In connection with one of these purchase and sale agreements, we are contractually obligated to purchase 25 properties, of which we had purchased 16 properties as of June 30, 2014 and we expect to purchase the remaining nine properties at a later time. If the remaining nine properties are not purchased, we will be obligated to pay the seller $10.0 million. These deposits are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets in property escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets. As of August 11, 2014, none of these escrow deposits had been forfeited.
Cash Flow Analysis
Operating Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities increased $38.5 million to $36.8 million, compared to $1.7 million of net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The change was primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of $24.9 million and an increase in net income of $21.6 million, partially offset by a net decrease in working capital accounts of $7.9 million. See “— Results of Operations” for a more complete discussion of the factors impacting our operating performance.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $136.8 million to $591.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $728.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to the acquisition of 172 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $624.0 million, of which $26.0 million was funded through debt assumption, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the acquisition of 89 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $717.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities increased $7.1 million to $735.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $728.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The change was primarily due to an increase in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $422.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in net borrowings on borrowing facilities and notes payable of $378.0 million, an increase in distributions to investors of $28.0 million and a decrease in escrowed investor proceeds of $10.2 million.
Election as a REIT
We are taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain requirements relating to our organization, sources of income, nature of assets, distributions of income to our stockholders and recordkeeping. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders so long as we distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains).
If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year and applicable relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We will not be able to deduct distributions paid to our stockholders in any year in which we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also will be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost, unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in our accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies have been established to conform to GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to the various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We consider our critical accounting policies to be the following:
29
• | Investment in and Valuation of Real Estate Assets; |
• | Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate Assets; |
• | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; |
• | Revenue Recognition; and |
• | Income Taxes. |
Except as set forth below, a complete description of such policies and our considerations is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, and related notes thereto.
Commitments and Contingencies
We may be subject to certain commitments and contingencies with regard to certain transactions. Refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further explanations.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with CR IV Advisors and its affiliates whereby we have paid, and will continue to pay, certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, CR IV Advisors or its affiliates such as acquisition and advisory fees and expenses, organization and offering costs, sales commissions, dealer manager fees and expenses, leasing fees and reimbursement of certain operating costs. See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.
Subsequent Events
Certain events occurred subsequent to June 30, 2014 through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to Note 11 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further explanation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further explanation. There have been no accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet applied by us, that will significantly impact our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
In connection with the acquisition of our properties, we have obtained variable rate debt financing through borrowings under the Revolving Loans and therefore may be exposed to changes in LIBOR. As of June 30, 2014, we had no variable rate debt outstanding under the Revolving Loans, and as such, there was no exposure to changes in interest expense per annum. In the future, we may obtain additional variable rate debt financing to fund certain property acquisitions and may be exposed to interest rate changes. Our objectives in managing interest rate risks will be to limit the impact of interest rate changes on operations and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we expect to borrow primarily at interest rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. We have entered, and expect to continue to enter, into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk associated with our variable rate debt. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. We may also enter into rate lock arrangements to lock interest rates on future borrowings. We may be exposed to credit and market risks including, but not limited to, the failure of any counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract or the adverse effect on the value of the financial instrument resulting from a change in interest rates.
30
As of June 30, 2014, we had three interest rate swap agreements outstanding, which mature on various dates from June 2018 through August 2020, with an aggregate notional amount of $338.7 million and an aggregate net fair value of $(5.2) million. The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads. As of June 30, 2014, an increase of 50 basis points in interest rates would result in a decrease to the fair value of the derivative liability of $6.2 million.
We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2014, were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms promulgated under the Exchange Act, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d -15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
31
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
In the ordinary course of business we may become subject to litigation or claims. We are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, to which we are a party or to which our properties are the subject.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
On August 11, 2010, we sold 20,000 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share to a predecessor of CREInvestments, LLC, which was formerly the indirect owner of CR IV Advisors and our dealer manager. On February 7, 2014, the ownership of such shares was transferred to ARC Properties Operating Partnership, L.P., a direct subsidiary of ARCP, which indirectly owns and/or controls CR IV Advisors and Cole Capital.
On January 26, 2012, pursuant to the Registration Statement, we commenced the Offering of up to a maximum of $2.975 billion in shares of common stock. On April 13, 2012, we issued approximately 308,000 shares of our common stock in the Offering and commenced principal operations. On November 25, 2013, we reallocated $400.0 million in shares from the DRIP to the primary portion of the Offering, and on February 18, 2014, we reallocated an additional $23.0 million in shares from the DRIP to the primary portion of the Offering. As a result of these reallocations, the Offering offered up to a maximum of approximately 292.3 million shares of our common stock to be issued pursuant to the primary portion of the Offering at a price of $10.00 per share and up to approximately 5.5 million additional shares pursuant to the DRIP under which our stockholders could have elected to have distributions reinvested in additional shares of common stock at a price of $9.50 per share.
As of February 25, 2014, we no longer accepted subscription agreements in connection with the Offering because we had received subscription agreements that allowed us to reach the maximum primary offering. We ceased issuing shares in the Offering on April 4, 2014. At the completion of the Offering, a total of approximately 297.4 million shares of common stock had been issued, including approximately 292.3 million shares sold to the public pursuant to the primary offering and approximately 5.1 million shares of common stock sold pursuant to the DRIP. The remaining approximately 404,000 unsold shares from the Offering were deregistered.
In addition, we registered 26.0 million shares of common stock under the DRIP pursuant to a registration statement filed on Form S-3, which was filed with the SEC on December 19, 2013 and automatically became effective with the SEC upon filing. We have issued, and expect that we will continue to issue, shares of common stock in the DRIP Offering. As of August 11, 2014, we have sold approximately 4.9 million shares in the DRIP Offering for gross offering proceeds of $46.4 million. We did not make any sales of unregistered securities during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
As of June 30, 2014, we had issued approximately 300.3 million shares of our common stock in the Offerings for gross proceeds of $3.0 billion, out of which we paid $256.5 million in selling commissions and dealer manager fees and $49.4 million in organization and offering costs to CR IV Advisors or its affiliates. With the net offering proceeds and indebtedness, we have acquired $2.8 billion in real estate and related assets and incurred acquisition costs of $81.4 million, including $58.6 million in acquisition related fees and expenses to CR IV Advisors and its affiliates.
Our share redemption program permits our stockholders to sell their shares back to us after they have held them for at least one year, subject to significant conditions and limitations. Our board of directors reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time, and from time to time, to waive the one-year holding period in the event of death, bankruptcy or other exigent circumstances or terminate, suspend or amend the share redemption program. The share redemption program provides that we will redeem shares of our common stock from requesting stockholders, subject to the terms and conditions of the share redemption program. We will not redeem in excess of 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid. Funding for the redemption of shares will be limited to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under the DRIP. In addition, we will redeem shares on a quarterly basis, at the rate of approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid.
32
The provisions of the share redemption program in no way limit our ability to repurchase shares from stockholders by any other legally available means for any reason that our board of directors, in its discretion, deems to be in our best interest. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we redeemed shares, including those due to death, as follows:
Period | Total Number of Shares Redeemed | Average Price Paid per Share | Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs | Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs | |||||||||
April 1, 2014 - April 30, 2014 | — | $ | — | — | (1) | ||||||||
