CHAMBERS STREET PROPERTIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited)

1. Organization and Nature of Business
Chambers Street Properties (NYSE: CSG) is a self-administered real estate investment trust ("REIT") that focuses on acquiring, owning and managing net leased industrial and office properties leased to creditworthy tenants. We were formed under the laws of the state of Maryland on March 30, 2004, and have elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Internal Revenue Code") beginning with the taxable period ended December 31, 2004.
We operate in an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which our operating partnership, CSP Operating Partnership, LP ("CSP OP"), indirectly owns substantially all of the properties acquired on our behalf. CSP OP was formed in Delaware on March 30, 2004, and we are the 100% owner and sole general partner. For each interest in our common shares of beneficial interest $0.01 par value (the "common shares"), that we issue, an equal interest in the limited partnership units of CSP OP is issued to us in exchange for the cash proceeds from the issuance of the interest in our common shares. As of September 30, 2014, we owned 100% of the limited partnership units of CSP OP directly or indirectly through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary.
On May 21, 2013, we listed our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "CSG" (our "Listing") and concurrently commenced a modified "Dutch Auction" tender offer to purchase up to $125.0 million in value of the common shares (the "Tender Offer") from our shareholders. As a result of the Tender Offer, on June 26, 2013, we accepted for purchase 12,376,237 common shares at a purchase price of $10.10 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $125.0 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Tender Offer. As of September 30, 2014, we had 236,924,176 common shares issued and outstanding.
As of September 30, 2014, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 100 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and office properties located in 19 U.S. states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia) and in the United Kingdom, encompassing approximately 23.5 million rentable square feet. Our consolidated properties were approximately 96.1% leased (based upon rentable square feet) as of September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, 76 of our consolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 19.2 million rentable square feet.
We had ownership interests in four unconsolidated entities that, as of September 30, 2014, owned interests in 32 properties. Excluding those properties owned through our investment in CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners Asia II-A, L.P. ("CBRE Strategic Partners Asia"), we owned, on an unconsolidated basis, 29 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and office properties located in eight U.S. states (Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas) and three countries in Europe (France, Germany and the United Kingdom), encompassing approximately 12.8 million rentable square feet. Our unconsolidated properties were approximately 99.5% leased (based upon rentable square feet) as of September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, 20 of our unconsolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 11.5 million rentable square feet.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and reflect the accounts of the Company, CSP OP and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company consolidates its wholly-owned properties and joint ventures it controls through either 1) voting rights or similar rights or 2) by means other than voting rights if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Certain information and footnotes required for annual financial statement presentation have been condensed or excluded pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") rules and regulations. Accordingly, our interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required under GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary in all material respects to present fairly our financial position, results of our operations and cash flows as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our current Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the latest available audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires us 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.
Segment Information
Our chief operating decision-makers internally evaluate the operating performance and financial results of our portfolio based on Net Operating Income. We define "Net Operating Income" as: rental income, tenant reimbursements, and other property income less property and related expenses (operating and maintenance and real estate taxes) and excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and corporate general and administrative expenses. During the first quarter of 2014, we reassessed our segment reporting and determined that the proper aggregation of our properties was by property type, Industrial Properties and Office Properties. Both of these operating segments meet the 10% quantitative reporting thresholds to be considered a reportable segment under GAAP and reflect the core operations of our business. Beginning with the reporting period ended March 31, 2014, we view our consolidated property operations as two reportable segments: Industrial Properties and Office Properties. In addition, we had one non-reportable segment, which was Retail Properties. However, during the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 we sold our last remaining retail property, therefore, eliminating the non-reportable segment from future reportable presentations. We have reclassified the prior period segment financial results to conform to the current year presentation.
Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Receivables
All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is recorded as deferred rent. In connection with various leases, we have received irrevocable stand-by letters of credit totaling $14.8 million and $14.5 million as security for such leases at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Reimbursements from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable costs, are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis, when we are the primary obligor with respect to incurring expenses and with respect to having the credit risk.
Tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible current tenant receivables and deferred rent. Management's determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, individual receivables, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The allowances are increased or decreased through the provision for bad debts. The allowance for uncollectible rent receivable was $57,000 and $24,000 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Translation of Non-U.S. Currency Amounts
The financial statements and transactions of our United Kingdom real estate operation are recorded in their functional currency, namely the Great Britain Pound ("GBP") and are then translated into U.S. dollars ("USD").
Assets and liabilities of this operation are denominated in the functional currency and are then translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are reported in "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)," a component of Shareholders' Equity.
The carrying value of our United Kingdom assets and liabilities fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rate between the USD and the GBP. The exchange rate of the USD to the GBP was $1.6213 and $1.6573 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The profit and loss weighted average exchange rate of the USD to the GBP was approximately $1.6862 and $1.5301 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and approximately $1.6737 and $1.5449 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The carrying value of our assets and liabilities held within our joint venture in Europe (the "European JV") fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rate between the USD and the Euro ("EUR"). The exchange rate of the USD to the EUR was $1.2631 and $1.3753 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The profit and loss weighted average exchange rate of the USD to the EUR was approximately $1.3402 and $1.3175 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and approximately $1.3611 and $1.3146 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Transition and Listing Expenses
We incurred certain costs in connection with our transition from being an externally managed company to a self-managed company ("Transition Costs"). These Transition Costs consist of legal, consulting and other third-party service provider costs incurred by us in order to execute on our Board of Trustees' decision to become a self-managed company. The Transition Costs were primarily incurred during 2012, with the exception of $0.7 million incurred during 2013 as a final settlement of the Transition Services Agreement.
We incurred certain costs in connection with our Listing and our Tender Offer in 2013. These listing expenses consisted of legal, investment banking, share-based compensation, consulting and other third-party service provider costs incurred by us in order to complete our Listing and Tender Offer. Listing costs totaling $12.0 million were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2013. Of the listing expenses incurred through December 31, 2013, $3.8 million was attributable to share-based compensation.
Income Taxes
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we generally distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). It is our current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT qualification. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level U.S. federal income tax on net income we distribute currently to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, if any.
ASC 740-10 Income Taxes requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We did not have a liability for any unrecognized benefits as of September 30, 2014. The tax years from 2010 through 2013 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
Included as a component of our tax provision, we have incurred income and other taxes (franchise, local and state government and international) related to our continuing operations in the amount of $140,000 and $54,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and $579,000 and $274,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The United Kingdom taxes real property operating results at a statutory rate of 20%. The United Kingdom taxable losses to date have generated a deferred tax

asset of approximately $0.6 million consisting of these net operating loss carryforwards. We have provided for a full valuation allowance of $0.6 million as of September 30, 2014 on deferred tax assets because it is not likely that future operating profits in the United Kingdom would be sufficient to absorb the net operating losses.
New Accounting Standards
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 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, which requires only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations (i.e., a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment) to be presented as discontinued operations. The standard also requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations and is intended to provide financial statement users with information about the ongoing trends in a company's results from continuing operations. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective in the first quarter of 2015 for public entities with calendar year ends. However, companies are permitted to early adopt the standard, beginning in the first quarter of 2014, but only for disposals or classifications as held for sale that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. We early adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2014 and the adoption did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB and IASB issued their final standard on revenue from contracts with customers. The standard, issued by the FASB as ASU 2014-09, outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including the guidance on real estate derecognition for most transactions. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in ASU 2014-09. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. We are assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and notes to our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The ASU clarifies that entities should treat performance targets that can be met after the requisite service period of a share-based payment award as performance conditions that affect vesting. Therefore, an entity would not record compensation expense (measured as of the grant date without taking into account the effect of the performance target) related to an award for which transfer to the employee is contingent on the entity’s satisfaction of a performance target until it becomes probable that the performance target will be met. ASU No. 2014-12 will be effective for all entities for reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2014-12 may be adopted either prospectively for share-based payment awards granted or modified on or after the effective date, or retrospectively, using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach would apply to share-based payment awards outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements on adoption, and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The ASU provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements.

7. Risk Management and Use of Financial Instruments
Risk Management
In the course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. We are subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing liabilities. Credit risk is primarily the risk of inability or unwillingness of tenants to make contractually required payments and of counterparties on derivatives contracts to fulfill their obligations. Market risk is the risk of declines in the value of our properties due to changes in rental rates, interest rates, supply and demand of similar products and other market factors affecting the valuation of properties.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We utilize interest rate swaps to mitigate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on our variable-rate loans. Our strategy is to use a swap to convert the floating-rate borrowing (usually a secured note payable or an unsecured term loan facility) where LIBOR is consistently applied into a fixed-rate obligation with the only variable piece remaining is the spread between different reset dates when/if the swap and debt are not lined up. We generally enter into an interest rate swap agreement concurrently with the origination of the variable-rate loan for an equivalent principal amount for a period covering the term of the loan, which effectively converts our variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate loan. Our use of derivative instruments, including swaps, is limited by policy to hedging or mitigating commercial risk and we do not use derivative instruments for speculative, trading or investment purposes.

At September 30, 2014, the Company expects that the hedged forecasted transactions, for each of the outstanding qualifying cash flow hedging relationships, remains probable of occurring. During the next twelve months we anticipate reclassifying $8.0 million of amounts currently recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Our credit risk relates primarily to cash, restricted cash, and interest rate swap agreements. Cash accounts at each U.S. institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 through December 31, 2014.
We have not experienced any losses to date on our invested cash and restricted cash. The interest rate swap agreements create credit risk. Credit risk arises from the potential failure of counterparties to perform in accordance with the terms of their contracts. Our risk management policies define parameters of acceptable market risk and limit exposure to credit risk. Credit exposure resulting from derivative financial instruments is represented by their fair value amounts, increased by an estimate of potential adverse position exposure arising from changes over time in interest rates, maturities, and other relevant factors. We do not anticipate nonperformance by any of our counterparties.

Our consolidated properties are located throughout the United States and in the United Kingdom. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory, and social factors affecting the communities in which the tenants operate. In addition, we do not have any tenant whose rents exceeds 10% of our total rental revenue.

9. Related Party Transactions
Prior to July 1, 2012, all of our business activities were managed by the former investment advisor pursuant to the fourth amended and restated advisory agreement ("Fourth Amended Advisory Agreement"), which terminated according to its terms on June 30, 2012. Effective July 1, 2012, we entered into the Transitional Services Agreement with the former investment advisor pursuant to which the former investment advisor would provide certain consulting related services to us at the direction of our officers and other personnel for a term which ended on April 30, 2013. As part of the Transitional Services Agreement, we paid $2.5 million on the effective date of the agreement to reimburse the former investment advisor for expenses incurred related to personnel costs. In addition, during 2013, we paid $0.7 million to the former investment advisor as a final settlement of the Transitional Services Agreement.
Pursuant to the Transitional Services Agreement, for services provided to us in connection with the investment management of our assets, the former investment advisor was paid an investment management consulting fee payable in cash consisting of (i) a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.5% of the aggregate cost (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all real estate investments within our portfolio and (ii) a monthly fee equal to 5.0% of the aggregate monthly net operating income derived from all real estate investments within our portfolio, subject to certain adjustments. For services provided to us in connection with the acquisition of assets, the former investment advisor or its affiliates was paid acquisition fees up to 1.5% of (i) the contract purchase price of real estate investments acquired by us, or (ii) when we make an investment indirectly through another entity, such investment's pro rata share of the gross asset value of real estate investments held by that entity. The total of all acquisition consulting fees payable with respect to real estate investments did not exceed an amount equal to 6% of the contract purchase price (or 6% of funds advanced with respect to mortgages) provided, however, that a majority of the uninterested members of the Board of Trustees could approve amounts in excess of this limit.
As required by the Transitional Services Agreement, we and the former investment advisor have agreed on a list of unacquired real estate investments for which the former investment advisor has performed certain acquisition related consulting services prior to the termination of the Transitional Service Agreement (a "Qualifying Property"). If any Qualifying Property is acquired by us within the nine months following the termination of the Transitional Services Agreement then we shall pay an acquisition consulting fee equal to 0.75% of (i) the contract purchase price of the real estate investments (including debt), or (ii) when we make an investment indirectly through another entity, such investment's pro rata share of the gross asset value of real estate investments held by that entity to the former investment advisor.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we acquired one Qualifying Property and paid the former investment advisor $0.2 million in acquisition consulting fees. There are no further Qualifying Properties under the Transitional Services Agreement and we do not anticipate paying the former investment advisor any further acquisition consulting fees.

10. Equity Incentive Plan and Performance Bonus Plan
Equity Incentive Plan
At our annual shareholders' meeting held on May 31, 2013, our shareholders approved the 2013 equity incentive plan. A description of the material terms of the 2013 equity incentive plan, as well as a copy of the 2013 equity incentive plan, were included in our definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 12, 2013. Our key employees, directors, trustees, officers, advisors, consultants or other personnel of ours and our subsidiaries or other persons expected to provide significant services to us or our subsidiaries would be eligible to be granted incentive share options, non-qualified share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards as contemplated in the 2013 equity incentive plan. As of September 30, 2014, there were 4,041,992 common shares available for grant under the 2013 equity incentive plan.
On January 29, 2014, our Board's independent trustees, Messrs. Charles Black, Mark Brugger, James Francis, James Orphanides and Louis Salvatore, were awarded equity grants under the 2013 equity incentive plan on the following terms: (i) (x) Mr. Black's award was for 20,000 common shares, (y) Messrs. Orphanides and Salvatore each were awarded 5,000 common shares and (z) Messrs. Brugger and Francis each were awarded 1,550 common shares for a total of 33,100 and (ii) each award vested in its entirety, upon issuance.
On February 26, 2014, the Company and Operating Partnership entered into an amendment to Martin A. Reid's employment agreement, effective as of January 1, 2013, increasing Mr. Reid's annual target Long Term Incentive Award to 90,000 restricted common shares of the Company.
On March 15, 2014, a total of 401,875 restricted common shares were granted to our named executive officers (Messrs. Cuneo, Kianka and Reid) based on each executive's achievement of performance objectives during 2013, as determined at the discretion of our Compensation Committee. Additionally, 25 of our employees were granted 143,450 restricted common shares, in the aggregate, on March 15, 2014. One-third of the restricted shares granted to our named executive officers and employees will vest on each of the first three anniversaries of grant if the grantee is employed by the Company on such anniversary. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service vesting period of three years. We recognized share-based compensation expense of $563,000 and $968,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of granting the awards to our named executive officers and our employees.
On July 31, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Company adopted and approved an incentive bonus plan, a form of restricted share award agreement, and a form of restricted share unit award agreement that may

be used in connection with awards made pursuant to the 2013 equity incentive plan from time to time to the Company’s trustees, executive officers and other employees.
The incentive bonus plan is intended to provide additional incentive for key employees of the Company to perform to the best of our abilities, to further the growth, development and financial success of the Company, and to enable us to attract and retain qualified and talented individuals. Restricted shares are awarded to grantees based on a time-based vesting formula. Restricted share units represent a contingent commitment of the Company to issue shares to a grantee based on certain performance-based goals determined by the Compensation Committee.

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments
We apply the three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical financial instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as instruments that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we held certain items that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included cash equivalents, interest rate swap derivative contracts and our equity method investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid, income-producing investments, all of which have original maturities of 90 days or less, including money market funds and U.S. Government obligations. Derivative instruments are related to our economic hedging activities with respect to interest rates.
The fair values of the interest rate swap derivative agreements are estimated with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash payments and receipts on the pay and receive legs of the interest rate swap agreements that swap the estimated variable rate mortgage note payment stream for a fixed rate receive payment stream over the period of the loan. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the interest rate swap agreements are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements (where appropriate). Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2014 and

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited)


December 31, 2013, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We have consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented and believe we have obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts we hold.
Our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is based on the Level 3 valuation inputs applied by the Investment Manager of this investment company utilizing a mix of different approaches for valuing the underlying real estate related investments within the investment company. The approaches include the income approach, direct market comparison approach and the replacement cost approach for newer properties. For investments owned more than one year, except for investments under construction or incurring significant renovation, it is CBRE Strategic Partners Asia’s policy to obtain a third-party appraisal. For investments in real estate under construction or incurring significant renovation, the valuation analysis is prepared by the Investment Manager. On a quarterly basis, the Company obtains the financial results of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia and on an annual basis the Company receives audited financial statements.
The following items are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Litigation—From time to time, we and our properties may be subject to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Currently, neither our Company nor any of our properties are subject to, or threatened with, any legal proceedings for which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
Environmental Matters—We are not aware of any material environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to a material environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.
14. Segment Disclosure
As a result of the reassessment of our reportable segments during the period ended March 31, 2014, we view our consolidated property operations as two reportable segments: Industrial Properties and Office Properties. In addition, we had one non-reportable segment, which was Retail Properties. However, during the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 we sold our last remaining retail property, therefore, eliminating the non-reportable segment from future reportable presentations. We reclassified the prior period segment financial results to conform to the current year presentation. Management internally evaluates the operating performance and financial results of our segments based on net operating income. We also have certain general and administrative level activities including legal, accounting, tax preparation and shareholder servicing costs that are not considered separate operating segments.
We evaluate the performance of our segments based on net operating income, defined as: rental income, tenant reimbursements and other property income less property and related expenses (operating and maintenance and real estate taxes) and excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and corporate general and administrative expenses.

On October 24, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of 1659 Sauget, an industrial property of approximately 502,500 square feet in Sauget, Illinois, for $21.1 million. The property is 100% net leased to two tenants through 2019 and 2020.
On October 27, 2014, our Board of Trustees approved a monthly distribution of $0.0425 per common share for each of the months of January, February and March of 2015. The January dividend will be paid on February 6, 2015 to all shareholders of record on January 30, 2015, the February dividend will be paid on March 6, 2015 to all shareholders of record on February 27, 2015, and the March dividend will be paid on April 8, 2015 to all shareholders of record on March 31, 2015.
On November 3, 2014, we entered into amended and restated indemnification agreements (the "Amended Indemnification Agreements") with each of the Company’s trustees and executive officers. The Amended Indemnification Agreements generally contain the same terms and conditions as the original indemnification agreements entered into by and between us and each trustee and executive officer, except for the following changes: (i) requiring a final adjudication, not subject to appeal, of exceptions to indemnification coverage; (ii) providing enhanced protection for attorney-client privilege and prohibiting our ability to raise arguments regarding validity of the indemnification agreement; (iii) eliminating our option to assume the defense of an indemnitee; (iv) enhancing an indemnitee's ability to obtain reimbursement of defense

costs; (v) prohibiting the cancellation of trustee and officer insurance coverage without notice to an indemnitee; (vi) creating primacy in our obligations to indemnify the indemnitee; and (vii) requiring us to provide information to an indemnitee to assist in such indemnitee's defense.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results, performance or transactions, see Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and Item 1A,"Risk Factors" in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We are a self-administered REIT focused on acquiring, owning and managing net leased industrial and office properties leased to creditworthy tenants. Our experienced management team manages our day-to-day operations, with certain services provided by third parties. All of our real estate investments are held directly by, or indirectly through wholly-owned subsidiaries of CSP OP of which we are the 100% owner and sole general partner. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
We were formed in Maryland on March 30, 2004 and commenced operations in July 2004 following an initial private placement of our common shares. Jack A. Cuneo, our founder, President and Chief Executive Officer, developed the initial business plan to establish our Company. Since that time, we have raised equity capital of approximately $2.5 billion in gross proceeds through two public offerings of our common shares to finance our real estate investment activities.
On May 21, 2013, we listed our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "CSG" and concurrently commenced a modified "Dutch Auction" tender offer to purchase up to $125.0 million in value of the common shares (the "Tender Offer") from our shareholders, which was completed on June 26, 2013.
As of September 30, 2014, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 100 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and office properties located in 19 U.S. states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia) and in the United Kingdom, encompassing approximately 23.5 million rentable square feet. Our consolidated properties were approximately 96.1% leased (based upon rentable square feet) as of September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, 76 of our consolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 19.2 million rentable square feet.
In addition, we owned, on an unconsolidated basis, 29 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and office properties located in eight U.S. states (Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas) and in three European countries (France, Germany and the United Kingdom) encompassing approximately 12.8 million rentable square feet. Our unconsolidated properties were approximately 99.5% leased (based upon rentable square feet) as of September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, 20 of our unconsolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 11.5 million rentable square feet.

("CBRE Strategic Partners Asia").
Business Strategy
We focus on investing in industrial and office properties that are primarily net leased to investment grade or creditworthy tenants on long-term leases through acquisitions of existing properties or build-to-suit projects. We believe the credit quality of many of our tenants, the length of our leases, the relatively modest capital expense requirements of our industrial properties and our single-tenant focus help us to enhance shareholder value. We monitor the credit of our tenants to stay abreast of any material changes in credit quality. We monitor tenant credit by (1) reviewing the credit ratings of tenants (or their parent companies) that are rated by nationally recognized rating agencies, (2) reviewing financial statements that are publicly available or that are required to be delivered to us under the applicable lease, (3) monitoring news reports regarding our tenants and their underlying businesses and (4) monitoring the timeliness of rent collections. We also believe that our senior management team's extensive experience will allow us to identify and consummate the acquisition and development of high-quality net leased properties. Our strategy is to grow our portfolio with properties targeted to provide steady income, sustaining tenant relationships and enhancing the value of our existing properties. We continue to execute our strategy and expand our portfolio through the following:
Acquisitions. We believe high-quality industrial and office properties, which are net leased to tenants with strong credit profiles, represent attractive investments. We target acquisitions in markets with above-average projected rental growth, strong tenant demand and significant barriers to new construction. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we continued to expand our portfolio with the purchase of two wholly-owned properties for $76.9 million, each of which is fully leased to a creditworthy tenant.
Build-to-Suit Opportunities. We also intend to pursue build-to-suit opportunities that have attractive development yields and tenants with strong credit profiles, under long-term triple net leases.
Maximize Cash Flow Through Internal Growth. We seek investments with fixed rent escalations over long term leases that provide stable, increasing cash flow. We have typically structured our property acquisitions to achieve a positive spread between our cost of capital and the yields achieved on our investments. Our existing leases typically have embedded rental rate growth as the majority of them provide for periodic increases in rent.
Capital Recycling. We intend to pursue a disciplined capital allocation strategy by selectively disposing of properties that are no longer consistent with our investment strategy or whose returns appear to have been maximized. To the extent that we dispose of properties, we intend to redeploy the capital into investment opportunities that we believe are more attractive, or to reduce debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, consistent with our investment strategy to focus on single-tenant industrial and office properties, we sold one multi-tenant office property held in the Duke JV for approximately $13.1 million, of which our pro rata share was approximately $10.5 million. We also sold our last retail property located in the United Kingdom for approximately $63.0 million at a gain of $13.2 million. The sale of this asset represents the completion of our exit from retail properties.
Actively Manage a Strong and Flexible Capital Structure. We expect to maintain a prudent capital structure with access to multiple sources of equity and debt financing. We continue to stagger our debt maturities and utilize a balance of secured and unsecured borrowings. We continue to have a mix of fixed and floating-rate debt and intend to maintain modest total leverage. As a means to reduce our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, we endeavor to retain debt in the local currency of our international properties.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we completed the following activities in order to maintain a prudent capital structure:
On January 2, 2014, we paid off the notes payable secured by Avion III and IV in the amount of $20.0 million.

36


On January 7, 2014, we received a BBB- corporate rating from Standard and Poor's Rating Services ("S&P"). S&P also gave us a stable outlook, reflecting our high-quality real estate portfolio and selective acquisition strategy, which S&P believes will support solid revenue and earnings growth in the near future.
On July 1, 2014, we repaid a $11.6 million note payable prior to its maturity date of October 1, 2014.
On July 23, 2014, in connection with the Maskew Retail Park sale we paid off the secured notes payable of $23.8 million and terminated the related swap agreement.
On July 31, 2014, in connection with the 1 Rocket Road acquisition we assumed secured debt with an outstanding principal balance of $18.7 million and a premium balance of $1.9 million.
Factors that May Influence the Results of Operations
Economic conditions, leasing activity and real estate capital availability all improved throughout 2013 and this trend has continued into 2014.
Whereas industrial and office leasing activity in the immediately preceding years was substantially weighted toward large corporate tenants, starting in 2013 activity trended towards normalization in the market for smaller tenants.  Much of this activity has been driven by increasing activity in the single-family home market. Brokers, title companies, developers, contractors and material providers all require office and/or warehouse space for their businesses. However, growth in demand for space was by no means exclusive to these industries, and activity remains relatively stable for the large, corporate user as well.
In concert with this leasing activity, market rent trends remain positive in most major markets. Driven by market rent growth and investor demand, construction and development activity has continued to increase, including both single-tenant build-to-suit and speculative projects. Beginning in 2013 we observed speculative construction activity expanding to a wider selection of markets, although development still remains below long-term averages.
Debt and equity capital availability for commercial real estate investment continued to improve during 2013 and into 2014, resulting in increasing competition to acquire properties. Even with this increased competition, we remain well positioned to acquire properties that fit our investment parameters, due to our strong liquidity position, modest near-term capital needs and excellent portfolio. We intend to continue to focus our strategy on enhancing the value of our existing properties, sustaining our tenant relationships, and growing our portfolio by continuing to selectively acquire high-quality and well-leased properties.

Tenant Lease Expirations
Our ability to maintain occupancy rates, and net effective rents, primarily depends upon our continuing ability to re-lease expiring space. We have limited near term lease expirations with an average remaining lease term of 6.41 years as of September 30, 2014. In addition, approximately 96.2% of our base rent is scheduled to expire after 2015.

Net Operating Income
Management internally evaluates the operating performance and financial results of our property portfolio based on Net Operating Income. We define "Net Operating Income" as: rental income, tenant reimbursements and other property income less property and related expenses (operating and maintenance and real estate taxes) and excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and corporate general and administrative expenses. Property operating expenses include insurance, property management, repairs and maintenance, security, janitorial, landscaping and other administrative expenses incurred to operate our properties. Corporate general and administrative expenses represent costs unrelated to property operations or transaction costs. These expenses primarily include corporate office expenses, employee compensation and benefits as well as costs of being a public company including certain audit fees, regulatory fees, legal costs and other professional fees.
Net Operating Income is considered by management to be an important and appropriate supplemental performance measure to net income (loss) because we believe it helps both investors and management to understand the core operations of our properties excluding corporate and financing-related costs and non-cash depreciation and amortization. Net Operating Income is an unlevered operating performance metric of our properties and allows for a useful comparison of the operating performance of individual assets or groups of assets. This measure thereby provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income (loss) from operations or net income (loss). In addition, Net Operating Income is considered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful starting point for determining the value of a real estate asset or group of assets. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating Net Operating Income, and accordingly, our presentation of Net Operating Income may not be comparable to other real estate companies. Because of the exclusion of the items shown in the reconciliation below, Net Operating Income should only be used as a supplemental measure of our financial performance and not as an alternative to GAAP income (loss) from operations or net income (loss).

$2.3 million from our Acquisition Office and Acquisition Industrial Properties (collectively the "Acquisition Properties") for rental and tenant reimbursement revenue;
$1.9 million from our Same Office Properties and Same Industrial Properties (collectively the "Same Properties") which is primarily a result of $1.4 million for rental and tenant reimbursement revenue and $0.5 million in insurance proceeds received (included in Other Property Revenue) at one of our Same Industrial Properties;
partially offset by a reduction of $0.8 million due to the sale of our last retail property in July 2014;
And a net increase of $0.7 million in property operating expenses and real estate taxes due to:
$0.6 million from our Acquisition Properties;
an increase of $0.1 million from our Same Properties which is comprised of:
an increase of $0.4 million primarily due to an increase in operating expenses in our Same Industrial Properties offset by
a decrease of $0.3 million in real estate taxes in our Same Industrial Properties.
Other Expenses and Income
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense increased $1.7 million, or 31.1%, to $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to $1.3 million of separation expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2014.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.8 million, or 2.9%, to $27.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $26.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired or consolidated during 2014 and 2013.
Transition and Listing
Our transition from being an externally managed company to a self-managed company ("Transition Costs") were primarily incurred in 2012 during our transition to self-management. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred additional listing-related expenses and we did not incur any further listing costs during 2014.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income decreased $0.4 million, or 58.7%, to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $0.8 million, or 6.1%, to $13.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $12.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily as a result of an increase in the weighted average debt outstanding balance.
Gain on Asset Disposition, Net
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we had a gain of $13.2 million related to the sale of Maskew Retail Park.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.6 million. The loss on early extinguishment of debt was primarily attributable to the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the WF Term Loan #3 that replaced the WF Term Loan #1.

45


Loss on Conversion of Equity Interest to Controlling Interest
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, loss on conversion of equity interest to controlling interest was $1.7 million, which was attributable to a non-cash adjustment to the gain on conversion of equity interest to controlling interest in connection with the purchase of the Duke Portfolio recognized in the prior quarter.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Entities
Equity in income of unconsolidated entities increased $1.1 million, or 32.1%, to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to the four properties acquired through the joint venture in Europe (the "European JV") in the fourth quarter of 2013 and a reduction of interest expense due to the payoff of a secured note payable by the Duke JV on July 2, 2013.

Net Operating Income
Net Operating Income increased $12.0 million, or 9.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of:
An increase in revenues of $18.2 million which is primarily due to:

48


$17.0 million from our Acquisition Properties which is comprised of:
an increase of $11.9 million from our Acquisition Properties for rental revenue;
an increase of $4.0 million in tenant reimbursements from our Acquisition Properties; and
an increase of $1.1 million from our Acquisition Office Properties due to lease termination fees included in other property income.
The increase in revenues are offset by an increase of $6.2 million in property operating expenses and real estate taxes primarily due to:
an increase of $5.2 million from our Acquisition Properties; and
a net increase of $0.9 million from our Same Properties which is primarily comprised of:
an increase of $1.3 million in property operating expenses and real estate taxes in our Same Office Properties; and
a decrease of $0.3 million primarily due to a reduction in real estate taxes in our Same Industrial Properties.
Other Expenses and Income
General and Administrative and Investment Management Fee
General and administrative expense increased $2.3 million, or 13.2%, to $20.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The net increase was primarily due to $1.3 million for separation payments and an increase in payroll and administrative costs associated with the growth of the Company.
Our increase in general and administrative expenses is offset by a reduction of $0.5 million in investment management fees due to the termination of the Transitional Services Agreement.
Acquisition-Related
Acquisition-related expenses decreased $1.6 million, or 74.5%, to $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was due to fewer properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the amount acquired during the same period in 2013.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $6.8 million, or 9.1%, to $81.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $74.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to the properties acquired or consolidated during 2014 and 2013.
Transition and Listing
Transition Costs were primarily incurred in 2012 during our transition to self-management. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $11.9 million of expenses in connection with the listing of our common shares on the NYSE on May 21, 2013 (our "Listing") and the completion of the Tender Offer.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income decreased $0.5 million, or 48.1%, to $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $9.2 million, or 28.3%, to $41.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $32.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily as a result of an increase in the weighted average debt outstanding balance.

49


Interest Expense and Net Change in Fair Value of Non-Qualifying Derivative Financial Instruments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our non-qualifying derivative instruments incurred a gain of $1.5 million. In addition, we made net payments on the non-qualifying interest rate swaps of $1.2 million. All of the Company's derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting treatment as of September 30, 2014.
Gain on Asset Disposition, Net
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we had a gain of $13.2 million related to the sale of Maskew Retail Park.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.6 million. The loss on early extinguishment of debt was primarily attributable to the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the WF Term Loan #3 that replaced the WF Term Loan #1.
Gain on Conversion of Equity Interest to Controlling Interest
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, gain on conversion of equity interest to controlling interest was $75.5 million attributable to the acquisition of Duke Realty's 20% interest in 17 properties held by the Duke JV.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Entities
Equity in income of unconsolidated entities increased $1.6 million, or 15.3%, to $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to our properties acquired through the European JV in the fourth quarter of 2013 and a reduction of interest expense due to the payoff of a secured note payable by the Duke JV on July 2, 2013, which was offset by lower performance from our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Liquidity is a measurement of the ability to meet cash requirements, which principally include funding investments and ongoing commitments, to repay borrowings, to make distributions to our shareholders and other general business needs. Our sources of funds will primarily be property operating cash flows, borrowings, including under our unsecured revolving credit facility, term loans or other forms of secured or unsecured financing that we may enter into from time to time, and net proceeds from divestitures of properties. Additionally, we expect other financing opportunities could provide additional sources of funds, including the issuance of common equity (through our at-the-market offering program or otherwise), preferred equity or debt securities. Our ability to raise funds is dependent on general economic conditions, general market conditions for REITs, and our operating performance. We believe that these cash resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from other than these sources within the next twelve months. We believe that we have sufficient cash flow from operations to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future.
While we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain liquidity needs, there may be unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which would affect our financial condition and results of operations. For example, we may be required to comply with new laws or regulations that cause us to incur unanticipated capital expenditures for our properties, thereby increasing our liquidity needs. Even if there are no material changes to our anticipated liquidity requirements, our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or needed. As of September 30, 2014, we had $58.5 million in cash as well as approximately$680.0 million available under our unsecured revolving credit facility. Of the $58.5 million in cash, approximately $2.3 million is held in a financial institution in the United Kingdom.
Net Cash Flow from Operations
Cash flow from operations is our primary source of liquidity and is dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent and operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating and other costs. The properties in our portfolio are primarily located in markets throughout the United States. Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters in these markets may affect our overall performance.

Unsecured Term Loan Facilities

Number of Properties at 100%. Approximate Acquisition Cost and Debt Balance for Unconsolidated Properties is at our pro rata share of effective ownership. Does not include our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia.
Depending on market conditions, our debt financing may be as much as approximately 65% of the value of the cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. The amount of debt we place on an individual property, or the amount of debt incurred by an individual entity in which we invest, may be more or less than 65% of the value of such property or the value of the assets owned by such entity, depending on market conditions and other factors.
In fact, depending on market conditions and other factors, we may choose not to place debt on our portfolio or our assets and may choose not to borrow to finance our operations or to acquire properties. Any indebtedness we do incur will likely be subject to continuing covenants, and we will likely be required to make continuing representations and warranties in connection with such debt. Moreover, some or all of our debt may be secured by some or all of our assets. If we default in the payment of interest or principal on any such debt, breach any representation or warranty in connection with any borrowing or violate any covenant in any loan document, our lender may accelerate the maturity of such debt requiring us to immediately repay all outstanding principal. If we are unable to make such payment, our lender could foreclose on our assets that are pledged as collateral to such lender. The lender could also sue us or force us into bankruptcy.
Debt Covenants and Restrictions
As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants. See Note 6 "Debt" in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.
At-The-Market Offering
On November 6, 2013, we and CSP OP entered into four separate Equity Distribution Agreements with certain sales agents, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, our common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $250.0 million. Sales of our common shares may be made in ordinary brokers' transactions on the NYSE, in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be "at the market" ("ATM") offerings, including sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We may use these proceeds and proceeds from the sale of debt securities to repay debt, including borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, to make acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties, or for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2014, there have been no sales of common shares under the ATM program.
Shelf Registration
On November 6, 2013, we filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC that may permit us, from time to time, to facilitate public offerings of our securities. We evaluate the capital markets on an ongoing basis for opportunities to raise capital, and, as circumstances warrant, we may issue securities of all of these types in one or more offerings at any time and from time to time on an opportunistic basis, depending upon, among other things, market conditions, available pricing and capital needs. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any such offerings of securities. We may use these proceeds to repay debt, including borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, to make acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties, or for general corporate purposes.

Sale of Real Estate Properties
We regularly work to identify, consider and pursue opportunities to dispose of non-strategic properties with the intent of using the proceeds generated from the dispositions to fund new strategic acquisitions, to repay long-term debt and for other general corporate purposes. The timing of any potential future dispositions will depend on market conditions and our capital needs. Our ability to dispose of such properties on favorable terms, or at all, is dependent upon a number of factors including the availability of credit to potential buyers to purchase properties at prices that we consider acceptable.
Transactions with Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Transactions with unconsolidated joint ventures also provide a source of liquidity. Our unconsolidated joint ventures will from time to time obtain debt financing or sell properties and will then distribute to us, and our joint venture partners, all or a portion of the proceeds from such transactions.

Distribution Policy
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income that we distribute currently to our shareholders. Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Internal Revenue Code"), REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they generally distribute at least 90% of their annual net taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to their shareholders. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any year, our income will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following our failure to qualify.
In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we generally must make distributions to our shareholders each year in an amount at least equal to 90% of our REIT taxable income (as determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our distribution policy is subject to revision at the discretion of our Board of Trustees without notice to you or shareholder approval. All distributions will be made by us at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will be based upon out Board of Trustee's evaluation of our assets, operating results, historical and projected cash flows (and source thereof), historical and projected equity offering proceeds from our offerings, historical and projected debt incurred, projected investments and capital requirements, the anticipated timing between receipt of our equity offering proceeds and investment of those proceeds, maintenance of REIT qualification, applicable provisions of Maryland law, general economic, market and industry conditions, and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant.
It is anticipated that distributions generally will be taxable as ordinary income to our shareholders, although a portion of such distributions may be designated by us as a return of capital or as capital gain. We will furnish annually to each of our shareholders a statement setting forth distributions paid during the preceding year and their characterization as ordinary income, return of capital or capital gains.
The following table presents total distributions declared and paid and distributions per share as well as the source of payment of such distributions, for the following periods (in thousands, except per share amounts):

On April 29, 2014, our Board of Trustees approved a monthly distribution of $0.042 per common share for each of the months of July, August and September of 2014. The July dividend was paid on August 7, 2014 to all shareholders of record on July 31, 2014, the August dividend was paid on September 8, 2014 to all shareholders of record on August 29, 2014, and the September dividend was paid on October 7, 2014 to all shareholders of record on September 30, 2014.
On July 31, 2014, our Board of Trustees approved a monthly distribution of $0.042 per common share for each of the months of October, November and December of 2014. The October dividend will be paid on November 7, 2014 to all shareholders of record on October 30, 2014, the November dividend will be paid on December 8, 2014 to all shareholders of record on November 26, 2014, and the December dividend will be paid on January 7, 2015 to all shareholders of record on December 30, 2014.
On October 27, 2014, our Board of Trustees approved a monthly distribution of $0.0425 per common share for each of the months of January, February and March of 2015. The January dividend will be paid on February 6, 2015 to all shareholders of record on January 30, 2015, the February dividend will be paid on March 6, 2015 to all shareholders of record on February 27, 2015, and the March dividend will be paid on April 8, 2015 to all shareholders of record on March 31, 2015.
Historical Cash Flows
Our net cash provided by operating activities increased by $30.8 million to $122.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $92.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to Net Operating Income generated by the properties acquired or consolidated since January 1, 2013. In addition, we paid expenses to our former investment advisor during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 that were accrued for as of December 31, 2012.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to net cash used by investing activities of $245.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The change was primarily attributable to proceeds of $61.1 million received from the sale of Maskew Retail Park and $22.5 million of distributions received due to the sale of an office property through the Duke JV and the partial sale of a property through CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. In addition, we had a reduction of $59.0 million

55


paid for acquisitions during the current period as compared to the prior year period. We also made contributions to our unconsolidated entities to repay various notes payable secured by properties held within the joint ventures in the prior year period.
Net cash used in financing activities increased by $266.0 million to $158.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $107.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 we increased our distribution payments by $12.9 million as compared to the prior year period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we received $570.0 million from borrowings under our unsecured term loan facilities offset by $169.2 million paid to complete our Tender Offer.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2014, we had four Investments in Unconsolidated Entities: (i) a 5.07% ownership interest in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia; (ii) an 80% ownership interest in the Duke JV; (iii) an 80% ownership interest in the UK JV; and (iv) an 80% ownership interest in the European JV. Our investments are discussed in Note 4 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements "Investments in Unconsolidated Entities."
Inflation
The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past several years due to the relatively low inflation rate. We expect to include provisions in the majority of our tenant leases designed to protect us from the impact of inflation. We expect these provisions will include reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain allowance. Due to the generally long-term nature of these leases, annual rent increases may not be sufficient to cover inflation and rent may be below market.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures: FFO, Core FFO and AFFO
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors consider presentations of operating results for REITs that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. Consequently, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") created Funds from Operations ("FFO") as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance.
FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net income. FFO, as we define it, is presented as a supplemental financial measure. Management believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of REIT performance. FFO does not present, nor do we intend for it to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and/or operating performance. We believe that net income, as computed under GAAP, appropriately remains the primary measure of our performance and that FFO, when considered in conjunction with net income, improves the investing public's understanding of the operating results of REITs and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful.
We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. Modifications to the NAREIT calculation of FFO are common among REITs, as companies seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their business and provide greater transparency to the investing public as to how the management team considers their results of operations. As a result, our FFO may not be comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. The revised NAREIT White Paper on FFO defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, impairment charges and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Management believes that NAREIT's definition of FFO reflects the fact that real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time, and that depreciation charges required by GAAP do not always reflect the underlying economic conditions. Likewise, the exclusion from NAREIT's definition of FFO of impairment charges and gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT's activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Thus, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. Management also believes that FFO provides useful information to the investment community about our financial performance when compared to other REITs, since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs.

56


However, changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that have been put into effect since the establishment of NAREIT's definition of FFO have prompted an increase in the non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO. We calculate Core FFO as FFO exclusive of the net effects of acquisition costs, interest rate swap gains/losses, transition and listing costs, and unrealized gain/loss in investments in unconsolidated entities. Core FFO is a useful measure to management's decision-making process. As discussed below, period to period fluctuations in the excluded items can be driven by short-term factors that are not particularly relevant to our long-term investment decisions, long-term capital structures or long-term tax planning and tax structuring decisions.
We believe that Core FFO appropriately presents our results of operations on a comparative basis. The items that we exclude from net income are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause both positive and negative effects on our results of operations, often in inconsistent and unpredictable directions. For example, our acquisition costs are primarily the result of the volume of our acquisitions completed during each period, and therefore we believe such acquisition costs are not reflective of our operating results during each period. Similarly, unrealized gains or losses that we have recognized during a given period are based primarily upon changes in the estimated fair market value of certain of our investments due to changes in market conditions and do not necessarily reflect the operating performance of these properties during the corresponding period. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company began the process of transitioning from being an externally managed company to a self-managed company and we believe the costs incurred to accomplish this transition involve many costs which are being excluded to arrive at Core FFO. Lastly, we incurred certain costs during the year ended December 31, 2013, in connection with our Listing and the Tender Offer and believe the costs incurred should also be excluded to arrive at Core FFO.
We believe that Core FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We believe that adjusting FFO to exclude acquisition costs provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time, including if we cease to acquire properties on a frequent and regular basis and allows for a comparison of the performance of our portfolio with other REITs that are not currently engaging in acquisitions. We also believe that Core FFO may provide investors with a useful indication of our future performance, and of the sustainability of our current distribution policy. However, because Core FFO excludes acquisition costs, which are important components in an analysis of our historical performance, such supplemental measure should not be construed as a historical performance measure and may not be as useful a measure for estimating the value of our common shares.
We calculate AFFO as Core FFO exclusive of the net effects of (i) amortization associated with deferred financings costs; (ii) amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles; (iii) amortization of premium on notes payable; (iv) amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant improvements, (v) deferred income taxes; (vi) share-based and other non-cash compensation expense; (vii) deferred straight-line rental revenue; and (viii) recurring capital expenditures.
FFO, Core FFO and AFFO measure cash generated from operating activities not in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to (i) net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as indications of our financial performance, or (ii) to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, each of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Not all REITs calculate FFO, Core FFO and AFFO (or an equivalent measure), in the same manner and therefore comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.

Subsequent Events
On October 24, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of 1659 Sauget, an industrial property of approximately 502,500 square feet in Sauget, Illinois, for $21.1 million. The property is 100% net leased to two tenants through 2019 and 2020.
On October 27, 2014, our Board of Trustees approved a monthly distribution of $0.0425 per common share for each of the months of January, February and March of 2015. The January dividend will be paid on February 6, 2015 to all shareholders of record on January 30, 2015, the February dividend will be paid on March 6, 2015 to all shareholders of record on February 27, 2015, and the March dividend will be paid on April 8, 2015 to all shareholders of record on March 31, 2015.
On November 3, 2014, we entered into amended and restated indemnification agreements (the "Amended Indemnification Agreements") with each of the Company’s trustees and executive officers.  The Amended Indemnification Agreements generally contain the same terms and conditions as the original indemnification agreements entered into by and between us and each trustee and executive officer, except for the following changes: (i) requiring a final adjudication, not subject to appeal, of exceptions to indemnification coverage; (ii) providing enhanced protection for attorney-client privilege and prohibiting our ability to raise arguments regarding validity of the indemnification agreement; (iii) eliminating our option to assume the defense of an indemnitee; (iv) enhancing an indemnitee's ability to obtain reimbursement of defense costs; (v) prohibiting the cancellation of trustee and officer insurance coverage without notice to an indemnitee; (vi) creating primacy in our obligations to indemnify the indemnitee; and (vii) requiring us to provide information to an indemnitee to assist in such indemnitee's defense.
The above description of the Amended Indemnification Agreements does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the form of amended and restated indemnification agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5 "Other Information."
ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we expect that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk.
We may be exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.To illustrate the effect of movements in the interest rate markets, we performed a market sensitivity analysis on its outstanding hedging instruments. We applied various basis point spreads to the underlying interest rate curves of the derivative portfolio in order to determine the instruments’ change in fair value. The following tables summarize the results of the analysis performed for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively (amounts in thousands):

__________
(1)
Based on three-month GBP-based LIBOR BBA Index with variable rate reset dates every 90 days during the term of the swaps.
The estimated fair value of our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is most sensitive to changes in capitalization rates for commercial properties in large urban areas in China, and among other factors, is also sensitive to currency exchange rate fluctuations and changes in the interest rates of China and the U.S., respectively. Decreases in capitalization rates and increases in interest rates generally increase the value of our investments. Changes in currency exchanges rates where the U.S. Dollar increases in value against the Chinese Yuan generally decrease the value of our investments.
Upon the maturity of our debt, there is a market risk as to the prevailing rates at the time of refinancing. Changes in market rates on our fixed-rate debt affect the fair market value of our debt but it has no impact on interest expense or cash flow. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on our fixed rate debt would not increase or decrease our annual interest expense on our fixed rate debt.
A 100 basis point decrease or increase in interest rates would decrease or increase the fair market value of our notes payable and unsecured term loan facilities by $19.1 million at September 30, 2014.
In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our real estate is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have formally adopted a policy for disclosure controls and procedures that provides guidance on the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and is designed to ensure that all corporate disclosure is complete and accurate in all material respects and that all information required to be disclosed in the periodic reports submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods and in the manner specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within our Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, as required by the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13(a)-15(e), our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
