NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

1. ORGANIZATION

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly and in conformity with GAAP the financial position of Hines Global REIT II, Inc. as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Hines Global REIT II, Inc. (the “Company”), was formed as a Maryland corporation on July 31, 2013 for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments. The Company intends to conduct substantially all of its operations through Hines Global REIT II Properties, LP (the “Operating Partnership”). Beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2015, the Company intends to operate in a manner to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The business of the Company is managed by Hines Global REIT II Advisors LP (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”), pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2014, between the Company, the Advisor and the Operating Partnership (defined below). An affiliate of the Advisor, Hines Global REIT II Associates Limited Partnership (“HALP II”), owned a 0.3% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2015.

On August 20, 2014, the Company commenced an offering of up to $2.5 billion of its common stock (the “Offering”). The Offering was amended in August 2015 such that the Company is offering its common stock in any combination of Class A and Class T shares, at a price of $10.00 per Class A share of common stock (“Class A Shares”) and $9.4489 per Class T share of common stock (“Class T Shares”). The Company also issues shares pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $9.50 per Class A Share and $9.00 per Class T Share. The Company engaged Hines Securities, Inc. (“HSI”), an affiliate of the Advisor, to serve as the dealer manager for the Offering and market its shares. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had raised sufficient offering proceeds to satisfy the minimum offering requirements for the Offering with respect to all states other than Pennsylvania. The Company will not accept subscriptions from Pennsylvania residents until the Company has received at least $100.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds from investors in the Offering who are not Pennsylvania residents. As of November 6, 2015, the Company had received gross offering proceeds of $82.2 million from the sale of 8.3 million shares.

The Company intends to invest the net proceeds from the Offering in a diversified portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments throughout the United States and internationally. As of September 30, 2015, the Company owned direct investments in two properties. These properties consist of 2819 Loker Avenue East, a Class A industrial building located in Carlsbad, California and Bishop’s Square, a Class A office building located in Dublin, Ireland.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

International Operations

The Euro (“EUR”) is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiary operating in Ireland. This subsidiary has translated its financial statements into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date while income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions using the rate on the transaction date. Gains or losses resulting from translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. Upon disposal of this subsidiary, the Company will remove the accumulated translation adjustment from stockholders’ equity and include it in the gain or loss on disposal in its consolidated statement of operations.

This subsidiary may have transactions denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. In these instances, assets and liabilities are remeasured into the functional currency at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the period. These gains or losses are included in the Company’s results of operations.

Table of Contents

This subsidiary also records gains or losses in the income statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other than its functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated.

Restricted Cash

The Company has restricted cash primarily related to certain escrow accounts required by Bishop’s Square mortgage agreement.

Tenant and Other Receivables

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, in addition to the straight-line rent receivable discussed below, tenant and other receivables also consisted of a receivable from the Company’s transfer agent related to offering proceeds not yet received of $409,870 and $62,200, respectively.

Other Assets

Other assets included the following:



	September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Deferred issuer costs	$	—	$	364,701
Prepaid insurance	28,666		—
Other	6,219		81,574		⁽¹⁾
Other assets	$	34,885	$	446,275

(1)As of December 31, 2014, this primarily consisted of excess cash held in an escrow account related to timing differences with respect to the acquisition of 2819 Loker Avenue East.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease including rent holidays, if any. Straight-line rent receivables were $467,346 and $5,895 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Issuer Costs

The Company reimburses the Advisor and its affiliates for any issuer costs related to the Offering that it pays on the Company’s behalf. Such costs consist of, among other costs, expenses of the Company’s organization, actual legal, accounting, bona fide out-of-pocket itemized and detailed due diligence costs, printing, filing fees, transfer agent costs, postage, escrow fees, data processing fees, advertising and sales literature and other offering-related costs. The Company did not have an obligation to reimburse the Advisor for any issuer costs until it achieved its minimum offering requirements on September 26, 2014. Therefore, the Company did not record issuer costs within its financial statements until that time. Organizational issuer costs, such as expenses associated with the formation of the Company and its board of directors, are expensed as incurred, and offering-related issuer costs are recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital. From inception to September 30, 2015, issuer costs incurred by the Advisor on the Company’s behalf totaled $7.3 million, of which $45,914 related to organizational issuer costs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015 and August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amendments to change the prior guidance concerning the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. Under this revised guidance, an entity will present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company had $544,984 in deferred financing costs presented as an asset on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 that it will be required to present as a direct deduction from the Company’s debt liabilities once this guidance is adopted.

In June 2015, FASB made technical corrections and improvements to provide clarification, correct unintended application of guidance, and make minor improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or the “Codification”) that are

Table of Contents

not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted.

In September 2015, FASB issued new guidance that eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, an acquirer will recognize a measurement-period adjustment during the period in which it determines the amount of the adjustment. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

3. INVESTMENT PROPERTY

Investment property consisted of the following amounts as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:



	September 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Buildings and improvements ⁽¹⁾	$	68,176,436		$	14,170,000

(1)	Included in buildings and improvements is approximately $141,221 of construction-in-progress related to a planned expansion at Bishop's Square.

In March 2015, the Company acquired Bishop’s Square, a Class A office building, located in the central business district of Dublin, Ireland. The net purchase price was €92.0 million (approximately $103.2 million assuming a rate of $1.12 per EUR as of the transaction date), exclusive of transaction costs and working capital reserves. The building contains approximately 153,569 square feet of net rentable area and is currently 100% leased to five tenants. See Note 4 — Recent Acquisitions of Real Estate for additional information on Bishop’s Square.

As of September 30, 2015, the cost basis and accumulated amortization related to lease intangibles are as follows:



	Lease Intangibles
	In-Place Leases			Out-of-Market Lease Assets			Out-of-Market Lease Liabilities
	In-Place Leases			Out-of-Market Lease Assets			Out-of-Market Lease Liabilities

4. RECENT ACQUISITIONS OF REAL ESTATE

The amounts recognized for major assets acquired as of the acquisition date were determined by allocating the purchase price of each property acquired in 2015 and 2014 as follows:



Property Name	Acquisition Date	Building and Improvements⁽¹⁾		Land⁽¹⁾			In-place Lease Intangibles⁽¹⁾		Out-of- Market Lease Intangibles, Net⁽¹⁾			Total⁽¹⁾
2015
Bishop’s Square	3/3/2015	$	53,643,075	$	—	⁽²⁾	$	51,994,603	$	(2,478,077	)	$	103,159,601

(1)	For acquisitions denominated in a foreign currency, amounts have been translated at an exchange rate based on the rate in effect on the acquisition date.

Table of Contents


(2)	The land at Bishop’s Square is subject to a 999-year ground lease with the local municipality in Ireland. Since the Company does not have title to the land, approximately $33.4 million has been recorded to in-place lease intangibles and will be amortized over the remaining term of the ground lease.

The purchase price allocation for each of the Company’s acquisitions is preliminary and subject to change as it finalizes the allocation, which will be no later than twelve months from the acquisition date.

The weighted average amortization period for the intangible assets and liabilities acquired in connection with the 2015 and 2014 acquisitions, as of the date of the respective acquisition, was as follows (in years):



	In-Place Leases	Above-Market Lease Assets	Below-Market Lease Liabilities
2015 Acquisition:
Bishop’s Square⁽¹⁾	10.7	7.5	8.3

2014 Acquisition:
2819 Loker Avenue East	4.6	—	—


(1)	Excludes the effect of the ground lease, which significantly increases the weighted average useful life for these intangibles.

The table below includes the amounts of revenue and net income (loss) of the acquisition completed during 2015 which are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015:



		For the Three Months Ended		For the Nine Months Ended
		September 30, 2015		September 30, 2015
Bishop’s Square	Revenue	$	2,104,007	$	4,848,418
	Net income (loss)	$	467,716	$	(2,050,343	)

The following unaudited consolidated information is presented to give effect to the Company’s 2015 acquisition as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2014. The pro forma net income (loss) was adjusted to exclude acquisition-related fees and expenses of $12,486 and $5.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the pro forma net loss was adjusted to include acquisition fees and expenses of $5.2 million, relating to the 2015 acquisition, as if these fees and expenses had been incurred as of January 1, 2014. There were no acquisition fees and expenses included for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The information below is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the Company completed this acquisition on January 1, 2014, nor does it purport to represent the Company’s future operations:

(1)	The Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement as an economic hedge against the variability of future interest rates on its variable interest rate borrowing. See Note 6 — Derivative Instruments for additional information regarding the Company’s interest rate cap.

(2)

Each advance under the credit facility with Hines (the “Hines Credit Facility”) must be repaid within six months, subject to one six-month extension and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Notwithstanding that each advance under the Hines Credit Facility matures six months after it is made, Hines Global II is required to repay each advance under the Hines Credit Facility with proceeds from its public offering as such proceeds are raised, unless Hines Global II, through the Operating Partnership, enters into a revolving credit facility (the “OP Facility”), at which point Hines Global II may use such proceeds from its public offering to repay the OP Facility, if any, prior to repaying any advances under its credit facility with Hines. The Hines Credit Facility also permits voluntary prepayment of principal and accrued interest.

Bishop’s Square Facility

In connection with the acquisition of Bishop’s Square, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a secured facility agreement (the “Bishop’s Square Facility”) with DekaBank Deutsche Girozentrale totaling €55.2 million (approximately $62.1 million assuming a rate of $1.12 per EUR as of the transaction date). The Bishop’s Square Facility requires quarterly interest payments, which commenced in July 2015, and repayment of principal upon the maturity of the Bishop’s Square Facility on March 2, 2022. The Bishop's Square Facility has a floating interest rate of EURIBOR plus 1.30% and is subject to an interest rate cap with a strike rate of 2.0%. The Bishop’s Square Facility may be repaid in full prior to maturity, subject to a prepayment premium if it is repaid in the first three years.

Hines Credit Facility

For the period from January 2015 through September 2015, the Company made draws of approximately $50.3 million and payments of approximately $60.6 million under the Hines Credit Facility. Additionally, from October 1, 2015 through November 9, 2015, the Company repaid $6.7 million under the Hines Credit Facility. The borrowings and payments resulted in an outstanding principal balance of approximately $7.2 million under the Hines Credit Facility as of November 9, 2015.

Financial Covenants

The Company’s mortgage and other loan documents for the debt described in the table above contain customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods, including payment defaults, bankruptcy-related defaults, and customary covenants, including limitations on liens and indebtedness and maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Company is not aware of any instances of noncompliance with financial covenants as of September 30, 2015.

7. DISTRIBUTIONS

With the authorization of its board of directors, the Company declared distributions to its stockholders and HALP II for the period from October 1, 2014 through November 30, 2015. These distributions were or will be calculated based on stockholders of record for each day in an amount equal to $0.001575342 per Class A Share, per day. Also, with the authorization of the board of directors, the Company declared distributions with respect to Class T Shares of the Company’s common stock for the period from August 24, 2015 through November 30, 2015. Distributions for the Company's Class T Shares were or will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day in an amount equal to $0.001575342 per share, per day less the distribution and stockholder servicing fees that are payable with respect to such Class T Shares (as calculated on a daily basis).

All distributions were or will be paid in cash or reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock for those participating in the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan and have been or will be paid or issued, respectively, on the first business day following the completion of the month to which they relate. Distributions reinvested pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan will be reinvested in shares of the same class as the shares on which the distributions are being made. Some or all of the cash distributions may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations.

In addition to the distributions described above, the Company’s board of directors authorized special stock dividends to its Class A stockholders as of daily record dates for the period from October 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. Stock dividends for the Company’s Class A Shares were calculated based on stockholders of record each day in an amount equal to 0.0000273973 of a share of common stock per share, per day. Shares issued related to the Company’s stock dividends were issued on the first business day of the month following the quarter to which they related.

(1)

The Company’s Advisor has agreed to waive asset management fees for each quarter in 2015 to the extent that the Company’s modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) is less than the distributions declared for each respective quarter. As a result of this waiver, the Advisor waived $138,500 and $129,524 in asset management fees payable to it during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. However, since MFFO exceeded distributions declared to the Company’s stockholders during the three months ended June 30, 2015, no asset management fees were waived by the Advisor for that period.


(2)	Includes amounts the Advisor paid on behalf of the Company such as general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses and organizational expenses. These amounts are generally reimbursed to the Advisor during the month following the period in which they are incurred.

The Company reimburses the Advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which its operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of: (A) 2.0% of its average invested assets, or (B) 25.0% of its net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of the Company’s assets for that period (the “2%/25% Limitation”). Notwithstanding the above, the Company may reimburse the Advisor for expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of the independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the four fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s total operating expenses exceeded the 2%/25% Limitation. Based upon a review of unusual and non-recurring factors, including but not limited to the Company being in the early stages of raising and deploying capital, the limited number of assets acquired to date and the timing of those acquisitions, a majority of the Company’s independent directors determined that the excess expenses were justified and thus reimbursable to the Advisor.


(3)	Includes amounts paid related to the Hines Credit Facility.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

As described in Note 6 — Derivative Instruments, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement as an economic hedge against the variability of future interest rates on one of its variable interest rate borrowings. The valuation of this derivative instrument is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flow of the derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair value of the interest rate cap agreement has been determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate cap agreement fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivative utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparty, Chatham Financial Corporation. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contract for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds and guarantees. However, as of September 30, 2015, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative position and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative. As a result, the Company has determined its derivative valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table sets forth the Company’s derivative which was measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2015:



			Basis of Fair Value Measurements
Period	Fair Value of Assets (Liabilities)		Quoted Prices In Active Markets for Identical Items (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
September 30, 2015
Interest rate caps	$	15,317	$	—	$	15,317	$	—

Other Items

Financial Instruments Fair Value Disclosures

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company estimated that the book value of its notes payable approximates its fair value. Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other liabilities, due to affiliates and distributions payable. The carrying value of these items reasonably approximates their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and/or short-term maturities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, Level 1 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of the cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and Level 2 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of the remaining financial instruments.

10. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

As described previously, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds from the Offering in a diversified portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments throughout the United States and internationally. Management evaluates the operating performance of each of its real estate investments individually and considers each investment to be an operating segment. Management expects to aggregate all of its operating segments into two reportable segments, primarily based on the location of each segment. As a result, the Company’s operating segments have been reclassified into one of two reportable segments: domestic real estate investments and international real estate investments.

The tables below provide additional information related to each of the Company’s segments and a reconciliation to the Company’s net loss, as applicable. “Corporate-Level Accounts” includes amounts incurred by the corporate-level entities which are not allocated to any of the reportable segments.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as amended. Such statements include statements concerning future financial performance and distributions, future debt and financing levels, acquisitions and investment objectives, payments to Hines Global REIT II Advisors LP (the “Advisor”), and its affiliates and other plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto as well as all other statements that are not historical statements. These statements are only predictions. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees. Actual events or our investments and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.

The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, the availability of future financing and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could prove to be inaccurate. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, pay distributions to our shareholders and maintain the value of any real estate investments and real estate-related investments in which we may hold an interest in the future, may be significantly hindered.

The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in certain forward-looking statements:



—	Our current offering is a best efforts offering and as such, the risk that we will not be able to accomplish our business objectives and that the poor performance of a single investment will materially adversely affect our overall investment performance, will increase if only a small number of shares are purchased in the offering;

—	Whether we will have the opportunity to invest offering and distribution reinvestment plan proceeds to acquire properties or other investments or whether such proceeds will be needed to redeem shares or for other purposes, and if proceeds are available for investment, our ability to make such investments in a timely manner and at appropriate amounts that provide acceptable returns;

—	Competition for tenants and real estate investment opportunities, including competition with Hines Global REIT, Inc. and other programs sponsored by or affiliated with Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”);

—	Our reliance on our Advisor, Hines and affiliates of Hines for our day-to-day operations and the selection of real estate investments, and our Advisor’s ability to attract and retain high-quality personnel who can provide service at a level acceptable to us;

—	Risks associated with conflicts of interests that result from our relationship with our Advisor and Hines, as well as conflicts of interests certain of our officers and directors face relating to the positions they hold with other entities;

—	The potential need to fund tenant improvements, lease-up costs or other capital expenditures, as well as increases in property operating expenses and costs of compliance with environmental matters or discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous or other undetected adverse conditions at our properties;

—	The availability and timing of distributions we may pay is uncertain and cannot be assured;

Table of Contents



—	Our distributions have been paid using cash flows from financing activities, including proceeds from our public offering, as well as cash from the waiver of fees by our Advisor, and some or all of the distributions we pay in the future may be paid from similar sources or sources such as cash advances by our Advisor, cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees, borrowings and/or proceeds from the offering. When we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have less funds available for the acquisition of properties, and your overall return may be reduced;

—	Risks associated with debt and our ability to secure financing;

—	Risks associated with adverse changes in general economic or local market conditions, including terrorist attacks and other acts of violence, which may affect the markets in which we and our tenants operate;

—	Catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes and terrorist attacks; and our ability to secure adequate insurance at reasonable and appropriate rates;

—	The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and make additional investments;

—	Changes in governmental, tax, real estate and zoning laws and regulations and the related costs of compliance and increases in our administrative operating expenses, including expenses associated with operating as a public company;

—	International investment risks, including the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and the uncertainty of such laws, the tax treatment of transaction structures, political and economic instability, foreign currency fluctuations, and inflation and governmental measures to curb inflation may adversely affect our operations and our ability to make distributions;

—	The lack of liquidity associated with our assets; and

—	Our ability to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes.

These risks are more fully discussed in, and all forward-looking statements should be read in light of, all of the risk factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may increase with the passage of time. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be achieved. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to these risks and uncertainties. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement.

Executive Summary

Hines Global REIT II, Inc. (“Hines Global II” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we,” “us” or the “Company”) was formed in July 2013 to invest in a diversified portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments located throughout the United States and internationally. In August 2014, we commenced an offering of up to $2.5 billion of our common stock (the “Offering”). The Offering was amended in August 2015 such that we are offering our common stock in any combination of Class A and Class T shares, at a price of $10.00 per Class A share of common stock (“Class A Shares”) and $9.4489 per Class T share of common stock (“Class T Shares”). As of November 6, 2015, the Company had received gross offering proceeds of $82.2 million from the sale of 8.3 million shares.

Our cash flow from operations has been and may continue to be insufficient to fund distributions to stockholders. We may choose to use advances, deferrals or waivers of fees, if available, from our Advisor or affiliates, borrowings and/or proceeds of the Offering or other sources to fund distributions to our stockholders. Our Advisor has agreed to waive the asset management fees otherwise payable to it for each quarter in 2015, to the extent that our modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), as disclosed in each Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a particular quarter, amounts to less than 100% of the aggregate distributions declared to our stockholders for such quarter. As a result of this waiver, our Advisor waived $138,500 and $129,524 in asset management fees payable to it during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. However, since MFFO exceeded distributions declared to our stockholders during the three months ended June

Table of Contents

30, 2015, no asset management fees were waived for that period. There can be no assurances that our Advisor will continue this waiver, and if not, cash available to pay distributions in future periods may be reduced.

We intend to meet our primary investment objectives by investing in a portfolio of real estate properties and other real estate investments that related to properties that are generally diversified by geographic area, lease expirations and tenant industries. The following table provides additional information regarding each of the properties in which we owned an interest as of September 30, 2015.



Property⁽¹⁾	Location	Investment Type	Date Acquired/ Net Purchase Price (in millions)⁽²⁾	Estimated Going-in Capitalization Rate⁽³⁾	Leasable Square Feet	Percent Leased
2819 Loker Avenue East	Carlsbad, California	Industrial	12/2014; $25.4	6.5%	161,310	100	%
Bishop's Square	Dublin, Ireland	Office	3/2015; $103.2	6.1%	153,569	100	%
Total for All Investments					314,879	100	%


(1)	On September 30, 2015, we effectively owned a 99.7% interest in these properties through our ownership interest in the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner. Hines Global REIT II Associates Limited Partnership (“HALP II”), an affiliate of Hines, owned the remaining 0.3% interest in the Operating Partnership.


(2)	The net purchase price for Bishop’s Square was denominated in Euros and has been translated at an exchange rate based on the rate in effect on the acquisition date.

(3)

The estimated going-in capitalization rate is determined as of the date of acquisition by dividing the projected property revenues in excess of expenses for the first fiscal year by the net purchase price (excluding closing costs and taxes). Property revenues in excess of expenses includes all projected operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements, parking and any other property-related income) less all projected operating expenses (property operating and maintenance expenses, property taxes, insurance and property management fees). The projected property revenues in excess of expenses includes assumptions which may not be indicative of the actual future performance of the property, including the assumption that the tenants will perform under their lease agreements during the 12 months following our acquisition of the properties.

Critical Accounting Policies

Each of our critical accounting policies involves the use of estimates that require management to make assumptions that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical and current market data, and analyzes these assumptions in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments regarding assumptions as to future uncertainties. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Also, a disclosure of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2015.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demands for funds are to purchase real estate properties and make other real estate investments, for the payment of operating expenses and distributions, and for the payment of principal and interest on any indebtedness we incur. Generally, we expect to meet operating cash needs from our cash flows from operating activities, and we expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions and investments from the net proceeds of the Offering and from debt proceeds.

We expect that once we have fully invested the proceeds of the Offering and other potential subsequent offerings, our debt financing, including our pro rata share of the debt financing of entities in which we invest, will be in the range of approximately 40% to 60% of the aggregate value of our real estate investments and other assets. Financing for acquisitions and investments may be obtained at the time an asset is acquired or an investment is made or at such later time as determined to be appropriate. In addition, debt financing may be used from time to time for property improvements, lease inducements, tenant improvements and other working capital needs. Additionally, the amount of debt placed on an individual property or related to a particular investment, including our pro rata share of the amount of debt incurred by an individual entity in which we invest, may be less than 40% or more than 60% of the value of such property/investment or the value of the assets owned by

Table of Contents

such entity, depending on market conditions and other factors. Our aggregate borrowings, secured and unsecured, must be reasonable in relation to our net assets and must be reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly.

Our charter limits our borrowing to 300% of our net assets (which approximates 75% of the cost of our assets) unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent directors and is disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report along with justification for the excess. Our independent directors have approved borrowings in excess of these limitations in connection with our first two investments, as we are in the early stages of raising capital through the Offering. In January 2015, our board of directors, including all of our independent directors, approved $45.2 million of additional borrowings under the Hines Credit Facility and a €55.2 million secured credit facility ($62.1 million using $1.12 per Euro as of the transaction date) for the purchase of Bishop’s Square in March 2015. In total, these borrowings represented approximately 104% of the cost of Bishop’s Square based on the contract purchase price. As of September 30, 2015, our portfolio was approximately 56% leveraged based on the value of our real estate investments.

Notwithstanding the above, 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 about our Company 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. Any such event would have a material adverse effect on the value of an investment in our common shares.

The discussions below provide additional details regarding our cash flows.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our real estate properties generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues, which are used to pay direct leasing costs, property-level operating expenses and interest payments. Property-level operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and wages of property management personnel, utilities, cleaning, insurance, security and building maintenance costs, property management and leasing fees, and property taxes. Additionally, we incur general and administrative expenses, acquisition fees and expenses and asset management fees.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $2.4 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was reduced by the payment of acquisition fees and acquisition-related expenses totaling $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses and acquisition-related expenses are expensed and therefore reduce cash flows from operating activities. However, we fund these expenses with proceeds from our offering and/or acquisition-related indebtedness.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the payment of $102.7 million related to the acquisition of Bishop’s Square and its related lease intangibles in March 2015. Additionally, the increase in restricted cash of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily relates to rents at Bishop’s Square that had not been released to us yet by the lender as of the end of that period, but have been subsequently released.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Initial Public Offering

We commenced the Offering in August 2014 and met our minimum offering requirements for every state, except Pennsylvania and Washington, in September 2014 (the minimum offering requirements were met in March 2015 with respect to the state of Washington). During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we raised gross proceeds of $69.2 million from the Offering, excluding proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan.

In addition to the investing activities described previously, we use proceeds from the Offering to make certain payments to our Advisor, our Dealer Manager and Hines and their affiliates during the various phases of our organization and operation. During the organization and offering stage, these include payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions and the dealer manager fee and payments to our Advisor for reimbursement of issuer costs. During the nine months ended

Table of Contents

September 30, 2015, we made payments of $10.8 million for selling commissions, dealer manager fees and issuer costs related to the Offering.

Distributions

Our board of directors authorized us to declare distributions with respect to Class A Shares of our common stock for the period from October 1, 2014 through November 30, 2015, which have been or will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day in an amount equal to $0.001575342 per Class A Share, per day. The board of directors also authorized us to declare distributions with respect to Class T Shares of our common stock for the period from August 24, 2015 through November 30, 2015, which have been or will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day in an amount equal to $0.001575342 per Class T Share, per day less the distribution and stockholder servicing fees, that are payable with respect to such Class T Shares (as calculated on a daily basis). The distribution and stockholder servicing fees were insignificant for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

All distributions were or will be paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock for those participating in our distribution reinvestment plan and will be paid or issued, respectively, on the first business day following the completion of the month to which they relate. Distributions reinvested pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan will be reinvested in shares of the same class as the shares on which the distributions are being made. Distributions paid to stockholders (including those reinvested in shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $835,458 and $1.3 million, respectively.

In addition to the distributions described above, our board of directors authorized special stock dividends as of daily record dates for the period from October 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. Stock dividends for our common stock were calculated based on stockholders of record each day in an amount equal to 0.0000273973 of a Class A Share per share, per day. Shares issued related to our stock dividends were issued on the first business day of the month following the quarter to which they related.

We have not generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fully fund distributions paid. Therefore, particularly in the earlier part of the Offering, some or all of our distributions have been and may continue to be paid from other sources, such as proceeds from our debt financings, proceeds from the Offering, cash advances by our Advisor, cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees and/or proceeds from the sale of assets. For example, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we funded 91% of total distributions with cash flows from operating activities and 9% were funded with cash flows from financing activities, which includes offering proceeds. Our Advisor has agreed to waive asset management fees for each quarter in 2015, to the extent that our MFFO, for a particular quarter, is less than our distributions declared for such quarter. As a result of this waiver, our Advisor waived $138,500 and $129,524 in asset management fees payable to it during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. However, since MFFO exceeded distributions declared to our stockholders during the three months ended June 30, 2015, no asset management fees were waived by our Advisor for that period. We have not placed a cap on the amount of our distributions that may be paid from any of these sources.

Cash Distributions

The following table outlines our total cash distributions declared to stockholders and noncontrolling interests (HALP II) for each of the quarters during 2015 and the quarter ended December 31, 2014, including the breakout between the distributions declared in cash and those reinvested pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan.

Debt Financings

As mentioned previously, our portfolio was 56% leveraged based on the value of our real estate investments as of September 30, 2015 with a weighted average interest rate of 1.42%. Below is additional information regarding our loan activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. See Note 5 — Debt Financing for additional information regarding our outstanding debt.


•	We entered into $61.8 million of permanent mortgage financing and borrowed $50.3 million under our Hines Credit Facility related to the acquisition of Bishop’s Square for a net purchase price of $103.2 million.


•	We made payments of $60.6 million on our Hines Credit Facility using net proceeds from our public offering.


•	We made payments of $625,876 for financing costs related to our loans and $47,876 for an interest rate cap related to the mortgage loan secured by Bishop’s Square.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we did not meet our minimum offering requirements until September 2014 (or March 2015 with respect to Washington and have not met our minimum offering requirements with respect to Pennsylvania) and did not make our first real estate investment until December 2014. We completed our second acquisition on March 3, 2015. Amounts recorded in our consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are due to the following:


•	Total revenues, property operating expenses, real property taxes, property management fees, depreciation and amortization, and interest expense relate to the operation of 2819 Loker Avenue East and Bishop’s Square.

•

Acquisition-related expenses represent costs incurred on properties we have acquired and those which we may acquire in future periods. We incurred $139,234 (approximately $131,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2015) in acquisition expenses related to the planned acquisition of The Domain Apartments. We elected not to acquire this property in September 2015. In addition, $2.0 million of the acquisition-related expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 relate to Stamp Duty taxes incurred as a result of the acquisition of Bishop’s Square in March 2015.

•

We expect to pay monthly asset management fees to our Advisor based on an annual fee equal to 0.75% of the cost of our real estate investments. As described previously, our Advisor agreed to waive asset management fees for each quarter in 2015, to the extent that our MFFO for a particular quarter is less than our distributions declared for such quarter. As a result of this waiver, our Advisor waived $138,500 and $129,524 in asset management fees payable to it during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. However, since MFFO exceeded distributions declared to our stockholders during the three months ended June 30, 2015, no asset management fees were waived by our Advisor for that period.


•	We incurred $64,440 in organizational costs, which consisted of expenses associated with our formation and the board of directors during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.


•	We pay our Advisor acquisition fees equal to 2.25% of the purchase price of our real estate investments. Acquisition fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are comprised of the $2.3 million acquisition fee paid in relation to

Table of Contents

our acquisition of Bishop’s Square in March 2015. We did not incur any acquisition fees during the three months ended September 30, 2015.


•	General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 primarily consist of legal and accounting fees, costs and expenses associated with our board of directors, and insurance costs. Certain of these costs are variable and will increase in the future as we continue to raise capital and make additional real estate investments.

•

We have entered into an interest rate cap agreement as an economic hedge against the variability of future interest rates on one of our variable interest rate borrowings. We have not designated this contract as a hedge for accounting purposes. Changes in the fair value of this interest rate cap resulted in a loss of $17,474 and $31,985 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and are recorded in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).


•	Total income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 relates to our allocation of our net loss to HALP II based on its ownership in the Operating Partnership.

We reimburse the Advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to us, subject to the limitation that we will not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which its operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of: (A) 2.0% of its average invested assets, or (B) 25.0% of its net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of our assets for that period (the “2%/25% Limitation”). Notwithstanding the above, we may reimburse the Advisor for expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of the independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the four fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2015, our total operating expenses exceeded the 2%/25% Limitation. Based upon a review of unusual and non-recurring factors, including but not limited to us being in the early stages of raising and deploying capital, the limited number of assets acquired to date and the timing of those acquisitions, a majority of our independent directors determined that the excess expenses were justified and thus reimbursable to the Advisor.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP financial performance measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and is widely recognized by investors and analysts as one measure of operating performance of a real estate company. FFO excludes items such as real estate depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization, as applied in accordance with GAAP, implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time and also assumes that such assets are adequately maintained and renovated as required in order to maintain their value. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions such as occupancy rates, rental rates, inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, it is management’s view, and we believe the view of many industry investors and analysts, that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone is insufficient. In addition, FFO excludes gains and losses from the sale of real estate and impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets and in-substance real estate equity investments, which we believe provides management and investors with a helpful additional measure of the historical performance of our real estate portfolio, as it allows for comparisons, year to year, that reflect the impact on operations from trends in items such as occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and interest costs. A property will be evaluated for impairment if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable (i.e. the carrying amount exceeds the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the property). Undiscounted future cash flows are based on anticipated operating performance, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, stockholders are cautioned that due to the limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges.

In addition to FFO, management uses MFFO, as defined by the Investment Program Association, (the “IPA”), as a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure to evaluate our operating performance. The IPA has recommended the use of MFFO as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-listed REITs to enhance the assessment of the operating performance of a non-listed REIT. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be useful as a measure of the long-term operating performance of our investments or as a comparative measure to other publicly registered, non-listed REITs if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended and described herein. MFFO includes funds generated by the operations of our real estate investments and funds used in our corporate-level operations. MFFO is based on FFO, but includes certain additional adjustments which we

Table of Contents

believe are appropriate. Such items include reversing the effects of straight-line rent revenue recognition, fair value adjustments to derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and certain other items as described below. Some of these adjustments are necessary to address changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP such as the accounting for acquisition-related expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP rules for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO. These changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP affected all industries, and as a result of these changes, acquisition fees and expenses are typically accounted for as operating expenses under GAAP. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. These changes also have prompted a significant increase in the magnitude of non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO, as defined. Such items include amortization of out-of-market lease intangible assets and liabilities and certain tenant incentives.

Other adjustments included in MFFO are necessary to address issues that are common to publicly registered, non-listed REITs. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operations. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-listed REITs like us are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after the acquisition activity ceases. We will use the proceeds raised in our offerings to make real estate investments, and intend to begin the process of considering our alternatives for the execution of a Liquidity Event (i.e., a sale of our assets, our sale or merger, a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange, or another similar transaction) five to eight years following the commencement of the Offering. Thus, as a limited life REIT we will not continuously purchase assets and will have a limited life.

The purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, including acquisition fees and expenses, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make distributions to our stockholders. MFFO excludes acquisition fees payable to our Advisor and acquisition expenses. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by us, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to our stockholders. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses with respect to the acquisition of a property negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which the property is acquired and will have negative effects on returns to our stockholders, the potential for future distributions, and future cash flows, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, the related acquisition fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. In addition, if we acquire a property after all offering proceeds from the Offering have been invested, there will not be any offering proceeds to pay the corresponding acquisition-related costs. Accordingly, unless our Advisor determines to waive the payment of any then-outstanding acquisition-related costs otherwise payable to our Advisor, such costs will be paid from additional debt, operational earnings or cash flow, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or ancillary cash flows. Therefore, MFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired. Since MFFO excludes acquisition fees and expenses, MFFO would only be comparable to the operations of non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics.

Management uses MFFO to evaluate the financial performance of our investment portfolio, including the impact of potential future investments. In addition, management uses MFFO to evaluate and establish our distribution policy and the sustainability thereof. Further, we believe MFFO is one of several measures that may be useful to investors in evaluating the potential performance of our portfolio following the conclusion of the acquisition phase, as it excludes acquisition fees and expenses, as described herein.

MFFO has limitations as a performance measure in an offering such as ours where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value and there is no net asset value determination during the offering stage and for a period thereafter. MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining MFFO.

FFO and MFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. In addition, FFO and MFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as an indication of our liquidity, but rather should be reviewed in conjunction with these and other GAAP measurements. Further, FFO and MFFO are not intended to be used as liquidity measures indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Please see the limitations listed below associated with the use of MFFO:

Table of Contents


•	As we are currently in the acquisition phase of our life cycle, acquisition costs and other adjustments that are increases to MFFO are, and may continue to be, a significant use of cash and dilutive to the value of an investment in our shares.


•	MFFO excludes acquisition fees payable to our Advisor and acquisition expenses. Although these amounts reduce net income, we generally fund such costs with proceeds from our offering and/or acquisition-related indebtedness and do not consider these fees and expenses in the evaluation of our operating performance and determining MFFO.

•

We use an interest rate cap as an economic hedge against the variability of interest rates on one of our variable interest rate borrowings. Although we expect to hold this instrument to maturity, if we were to settle this instrument currently, it would have an impact on our operating performance. Additionally, this derivative instrument is measured at fair value on a quarterly basis in accordance with GAAP. MFFO excludes gains (losses) related to changes in the estimated value of our derivative instrument because such adjustments may not be reflective of ongoing operations and may reflect unrealized impacts on our operating performance.


•	We utilize the definition of FFO as set forth by NAREIT and the definition of MFFO as set forth by the IPA. Our FFO and MFFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs, if they use different approaches.


•	Our business is subject to volatility in the real estate markets and general economic conditions, and adverse changes in those conditions could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and MFFO. Accordingly, the predictive nature of MFFO is uncertain and past performance may not be indicative of future results.

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

The following section presents our calculation of FFO and MFFO attributable to common stockholders and provides additional information related to our operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the period from inception through September 30, 2015. As we are in the capital raising and acquisition phase of our operations, FFO and MFFO are not useful in comparing operations for the periods presented below. We expect revenues and expenses to increase in future periods as we raise additional offering proceeds and use them to acquire additional investments.

Notes to the table:

(1)

Represents the depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. 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 have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that such depreciation and amortization may be of limited relevance in evaluating current operating performance and, as such, these items are excluded from our determination of FFO.


(2)	Includes income attributable to noncontrolling interests and all adjustments to eliminate the noncontrolling interests’ share of the adjustments to convert our net loss to FFO and MFFO.


(3)	Represents components of net income (loss) related to the estimated changes in the values of our interest rate contract derivative. We have excluded this change in value from our evaluation of our operating performance and MFFO because such adjustments may not be reflective of our ongoing performance and may reflect unrealized impacts on our operating performance.


(4)	Includes the following components of revenues and expenses that we do not consider in evaluating our operating performance and determining MFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the period from inception through September 30, 2015:



	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,					Period from July 31, 2013 (date of inception) through September 30, 2015
	2015			2014		2015			2014
Straight-line rent adjustment ^(a)	$	(174,270	)	$	—	$	(454,337	)	$	—	$	(460,232	)
Amortization of out-of-market leases^(b)	(92,006		)	—		(221,583		)	—		(221,583		)
	$	(266,276	)	$	—	$	(675,920	)	$	—	$	(681,815	)

(a)

Represents the adjustments to rental revenue as required by GAAP to recognize minimum lease payments on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. We have excluded these adjustments from our evaluation of our operating performance and in determining MFFO because we believe that the rent that is billable during the current period is a more relevant measure of our operating performance for such period.


(b)	Represents the amortization of out-of-market leases.


(5)	Represents acquisition expenses and acquisition fees paid to our Advisor that are expensed in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We fund such costs with proceeds from our offering and/or acquisition-related indebtedness, and therefore do not consider these expenses in evaluating our operating performance and determining MFFO.

As noted previously, our cash flows from operations have been and may continue to be insufficient to fund distributions to stockholders. We may continue to choose to use proceeds from our debt financings, proceeds from the Offering, cash advances from our Advisor, cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees and/or proceeds from the sale of assets to fund distributions to our stockholders. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we funded 91% of total distributions with cash flows from operating activities and 9% were funded with cash flows from financing activities, which includes offering proceeds. Additionally, our Advisor waived $138,500 and $129,524 in asset management fees payable to it during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. However, since MFFO exceeded distributions declared to our stockholders during the three months ended June 30, 2015, no asset management fees were waived for this period. We have not placed a cap on the amount of our distributions that may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations, including proceeds from our debt financings, proceeds from the Offering, cash advances by our Advisor and cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees.

From inception through September 30, 2015, we declared cash distributions (including those reinvested in shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) to our stockholders totaling $1.7 million, compared to our total aggregate FFO loss of $3.7 million. During our offering and investment stages, we incur acquisition fees and expenses in connection with our real estate investments, which are recorded as reductions to net income (loss) and FFO. From inception through September 30, 2015, we incurred acquisition fees and expenses totaling $5.7 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we declared cash distributions (including those reinvested in shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) to our stockholders totaling $1.7 million, compared to our total aggregate FFO loss of $2.6 million.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with our Advisor, Dealer Manager and Hines or its affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees and reimbursements to these entities during the various phases of our organization and operation. During the organization and offering stage, these include payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions, the dealer manager fee, distribution and shareholder servicing fees, and payments to our Advisor for reimbursement of issuer costs. During the acquisition and operational stages, these include payments for certain services related to acquisitions, financing and management of our investments and operations provided to us by our Advisor and Hines and its affiliates pursuant to various agreements we have entered into with these entities. See Note 8 — Related Party Transactions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information concerning our related-party transactions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

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 believe that interest rate risk, currency risk and real estate valuation risk are the primary market risks to which we are or will be exposed. As of September 30, 2015, we were exposed to the market risks described below.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of debt used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. As of September 30, 2015, we had $75.9 million of variable-rate debt outstanding. If interest rates were to increase by 1%, we would incur an additional $759,214 in interest expense. Additionally, we entered into an interest rate cap to limit our exposure to rising interest rates related to our mortgage loan secured by Bishop’s Square. See Note 5 — Debt Financing in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information concerning our outstanding debt.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our investment in Bishop’s Square is subject to the effects of exchange rate movements between the Euro and the U.S. dollar, which may affect future costs and cash flows as well as amounts translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We have entered into a mortgage loan denominated in Euros for this investment, which provides a natural hedge with regard to changes in exchange rates between the Euro and U.S. dollar and reduces our exposure to exchange rate differences. Additionally, we are typically a net receiver of Euros, and, as a result, our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar. Based upon our analysis, a 10% immediate, unfavorable change in the exchange rate between the Euro and U.S. dollar would have decreased the net book value of our investment in Bishop’s Square by approximately $4.5 million and would have reduced the year-to-date net income (loss) of Bishop’s Square by $212,878.

Other Risks

As described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Advisor has agreed to waive asset management fees otherwise payable to it for each quarter in 2015, to the extent that our MFFO, as disclosed in each Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a particular quarter, amounts to less than 100% of the aggregate distributions declared to our stockholders for such quarter. There can be no assurances that our Advisor will continue this waiver, and if not, cash available to pay distributions in future periods may be reduced.

We invest proceeds we receive from our public offerings in short-term, highly-liquid investments until we use such funds to make real estate investments. Although we do not expect that income we earn on these temporary investments will be substantial, our earnings will be subject to the fluctuations of interest rates and their effect on these investments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2015, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Change in Internal Controls

No changes have occurred in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we or our subsidiaries may become subject to legal proceedings, claims or disputes. As of November 9, 2015, neither us nor any of our subsidiaries were a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, which are discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. With the exception of the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The availability and timing of distributions to our stockholders is uncertain and cannot be assured.

There is no assurance that distributions will continue to be authorized and paid. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient cash to pay distributions to you or that the amount of any such distributions will increase over time. In addition, the distribution and stockholder servicing fees payable with respect to Class T Shares issued in the primary offering will reduce the amount of funds available for distribution with respect to all Class T Shares (including Class T Shares issued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan). Should we fail for any reason to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, we would not qualify for the favorable tax treatment accorded to REITs.

We have and may continue to pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, including advances, deferrals or waivers of fees from our Advisor or affiliates, borrowings and/or proceeds of this offering. We have not placed a cap on the amount of our distributions that may be paid from any of these sources. The use of sources other than our cash flow from operations to fund distributions could adversely impact our ability to pay distributions in future periods, decrease the amount of cash we have available for operations and new investments and/or potentially impact the value or result in dilution of your investment.

In our initial quarters of operations, and from time to time thereafter, our cash flow from operations may be insufficient to fund distributions to stockholders. Our organizational documents permit us to make distributions from any source and we may choose to pay distributions when we do not have sufficient cash flow from operations to fund such distributions. We may choose to use advances, deferrals or waivers of fees, if available, from our Advisor or affiliates, borrowings and/or proceeds of this offering or other sources to fund distributions to you. For example, we funded 100% of total distributions for 2014 and 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 with cash flows from financing activities which includes offering proceeds. In addition, the Advisor has agreed to waive the asset management fees otherwise payable to it pursuant to our Advisory Agreement for each quarter in 2015, to the extent that our MFFO, as disclosed in each Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a particular quarter, amounts to less than 100% of the aggregate distributions declared to our stockholders for such quarter. As a result of this waiver, our Advisor waived $138,500 and $129,524 in asset management fees payable to it during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. We have not placed a cap on the amount of our distributions that may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations, including proceeds from our debt financings, proceeds from our public offerings, cash advances by our Advisor and cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees. However, the Advisor and affiliates are under no obligation to advance funds to us or to defer or, subsequent to the third quarter of 2015, to continue to waive fees in order to support our distributions. When we pay distributions in excess of earnings and we use cash flows from financing activities, including offering proceeds and borrowings, to fund distributions, then we will have less funds available for operations and for acquiring properties and other investments, which could adversely impact our ability to pay distributions in future periods, may reduce your overall return and may result in the dilution of your investment. In addition, our Advisor or its affiliates could choose to receive shares of our common stock or interests in the Operating Partnership in lieu of cash or deferred fees or the repayment of advances to which they are entitled, and the issuance of such securities may dilute your interest in us. Furthermore, to the extent distributions exceed cash flow from operations, a stockholder’s basis in our stock will be reduced and, to the extent distributions exceed a stockholder’s basis, the stockholder may recognize capital gain.

Table of Contents

Hines and its affiliates may face conflicts of interest caused by compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in your best interest.

Hines, our Advisor and their affiliates receive substantial fees from us in return for their services and these fees could influence our Advisor’s advice to us. Among other matters, the compensation arrangements could affect their judgment with respect to:


•	Public offerings of equity by us, which allow the Dealer Manager to earn additional dealer manager fees;


•	Property dispositions in circumstances where Hines or an affiliate of Hines manages the property and earns significant fees for managing the property;


•	Property acquisitions, which may allow our Advisor or its affiliates to earn additional acquisition, asset management and other fees; and


•	Various liquidity events.

Further, our Advisor may recommend that we invest in a particular asset or pay a higher purchase price for the asset than it would otherwise recommend if it did not receive an acquisition fee. Similarly, our Advisor has incentives to recommend that we purchase properties using debt financing since the acquisition fees that we pay to the Advisor could increase if we raise the level of debt financing in connection with the acquisition of certain properties. Certain potential acquisition fees and asset management fees paid to our Advisor and property management and leasing fees paid to Hines and its affiliates would be paid irrespective of the quality of the underlying real estate or property management services during the term of the related agreement. Our Advisor is also entitled to a fee equal to a percentage of the total consideration paid in connection with a disposition. This fee may incentivize our Advisor to recommend the disposition of a property or properties through a sale, merger, or other transaction that may not be in our best interests at the time. In addition, the premature disposition of an asset may add concentration risk to the portfolio or may be at a price lower than if we held the property. Moreover, our Advisor has considerable discretion with respect to the terms and timing of acquisition, disposition and leasing transactions. The Dealer Manager will be paid an annual distribution and stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class T Shares until the earliest to occur of several events, including (i) a listing of the Class A Shares on a national securities exchange, and (ii) such Class T Shares no longer being outstanding, which may incentivize our Advisor not to recommend a sale, merger or other liquidity event until the Dealer Manager has been paid all distribution and stockholder servicing fees, because the completion of such transactions would cause the Dealer Manager to no longer be paid such fees. In evaluating investments and other management strategies, the opportunity to earn these fees may lead our Advisor to place undue emphasis on criteria relating to its and its affiliates’ compensation at the expense of other criteria, such as preservation of capital, in order to achieve higher short-term compensation. Considerations relating to compensation from us to our Advisor and its affiliates could result in decisions that are not in your best interests, which could hurt our ability to pay you distributions or result in a decline in the value of your investment.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT, our operations and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders would be adversely impacted.

We intend to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with the taxable year ending on December 31, 2015. We have received the opinion of our U.S. federal income tax counsel, Greenberg Traurig, LLP, in connection with this offering and with respect to our qualification as a REIT. The opinion of Greenberg Traurig, LLP represents only the view of our counsel based on our counsel’s review and analysis of existing law and on certain representations as to factual matters and covenants made by us, including representations relating to the values of our assets and the sources of our income and is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court. Greenberg Traurig, LLP has no obligation to advise us or the holders of our common stock of any subsequent change in the matters stated, represented or assumed in its opinion or of any subsequent change in applicable law. Furthermore, both the validity of the opinion of Greenberg Traurig LLP and our qualification as a REIT will depend on our satisfaction of numerous requirements (some on an annual and quarterly basis) established under highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”), for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations, and involves the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. The complexity of these provisions and of the applicable income tax regulations that have been promulgated under the Code is greater in the case of a REIT that holds its assets through a partnership, as we do and that issues multiple classes of stock, as we do. Moreover, no assurance can be given that legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not change the tax laws with respect to qualification as a REIT or the U.S. federal income tax consequences of that qualification. While we have not requested a ruling from the IRS as to our REIT status, we have applied for a ruling from the IRS with respect to our multi-class stock structure, our ability to deduct dividend payments in connection with that structure and its possible effect on our qualification as a REIT.

Table of Contents

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

As discussed above, in order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which may not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard for the deduction for distributions paid and excluding net capital gains. In order for distributions to be counted as satisfying the annual distribution requirements for REITs, and to provide us with a REIT-level tax deduction, the distributions must not be “preferential dividends.” A dividend is not a preferential dividend if the distribution is pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class, and in accordance with any preferences among different classes of stock as set forth in our organizational documents. Currently, there is uncertainty as to the IRS’s position regarding whether certain arrangements involving REITs could give rise to the inadvertent payment of a preferential dividend (e.g., the pricing methodology for stock purchased under a distribution reinvestment plan, the terms of stock redemptions or the allocation of certain fees among different classes of stock), except as otherwise set forth with respect to a particular REIT in a private letter ruling issued by the IRS to such REIT. Although we have not obtained a private letter ruling with respect to the allocation to the Class T stockholders of the expense attributable to payment of the distribution fee, we have applied for such a ruling from the IRS with respect to our multi-class stock structure, our ability to deduct dividend payments in connection with that structure and its possible effect on our qualification as a REIT. While we believe based on advice of our counsel that our class structure complies with current tax law requirements and that dividend payments by us will be deductible and will not adversely affect our qualification as a REIT, no assurance can be provided as to whether or when such a ruling will be issued by the IRS. If the IRS were to rule adversely, or if it otherwise declines to rule favorably on our existing structure, this could, depending upon the circumstances at the time, adversely affect the conclusions set forth in the opinion of Greenberg Traurig, LLP and our ability to issue additional shares in this offering in accordance with our class structure described herein. We have received the opinion of Greenberg Traurig, LLP with respect to our qualification as a REIT. This opinion has been issued in connection with the Offering. Opinions of counsel are not binding on the IRS or on any court. Therefore, if the IRS were to successfully assert that we paid a preferential dividend, we may be deemed to have either (a) distributed less than 100% of our REIT taxable income and therefore be subject to tax on the undistributed portion, or (b) distributed less than 90% of our REIT taxable income, in which case our status as a REIT could be terminated if we were unable to cure such failure.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we did not sell or issue any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

On August 20, 2014, the Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-191106) for the Offering was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933. The Offering commenced on August 20, 2014 and is currently expected to terminate on or before August 20, 2016, unless extended by our board of directors.

From August 20, 2014 through September 30, 2015, we received gross proceeds of approximately $74.1 million through the sale of 7.5 million Class A Shares and $30,000 through the sale of 3,175 Class T Shares to the public in connection with the Offering. Since August 20, 2014, we have used proceeds from the Offering to pay $6.9 million of selling commissions and dealer manager fees and $4.0 million of issuer costs related to the Offering. The selling commissions and dealer manager fees were not paid with respect to the shares sold through our distribution reinvestment plan. The selling commissions and dealer manager fees were paid to our dealer manager, which is an affiliate of Hines and is wholly-owned, indirectly, by, or for the benefit of, our Chairman, Jeffrey C. Hines and his father, Gerald D. Hines.

Net proceeds available for investment after the payment of the costs described above were approximately $62.4 million. A portion of these proceeds, along with proceeds from debt financing, were used to make approximately $73.0 million of investments in real estate, including the cost of completing the acquisitions of 2819 Loker Avenue East and Bishop’s Square, acquisition fees and expenses and costs of leveraging each real estate investment. Additionally, we used these proceeds to make payments of $61.2 million, including principal and interest, on our Hines Credit Facility. We also used $1.9 million in offering proceeds to fund asset management fees, general and administrative expenses and to provide working capital for our real estate investments. We had approximately $1.1 million in uninvested offering proceeds as of September 30, 2015.

Additionally, we have not generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fully fund distributions paid. As of September 30, 2015, as discussed in "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Distributions," 91% of our distributions were funded
