Gladstone Commercial Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Gladstone Commercial Corporation is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that was incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland on February 14, 2003. We focus on acquiring, owning and managing primarily office and industrial properties. On a selective basis, we may make long term industrial and commercial mortgage loans; however, we do not have any mortgage loans currently outstanding. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is managed by Gladstone Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or the Adviser, and administrative services are provided by Gladstone Administration, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or the Administrator, each pursuant to a contractual arrangement with us. Our Adviser and Administrator collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly. Gladstone Commercial Corporation conducts substantially all of its operations through a subsidiary, Gladstone Commercial Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, or the Operating Partnership.
All further references herein to “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” mean Gladstone Commercial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where it is made clear that the term means only Gladstone Commercial Corporation.
Interim Financial Information
Our interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. The year-end balance sheet data presented herein was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been included. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2016. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make judgments that are subjective in nature in order to make certain estimates and assumptions. Application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment regarding the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates. A summary of all of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2016; however we issued mezzanine equity during the six months ended June 30, 2016, which is further described in Note 10.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“ASU 2016-02”), The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 is expected to minimally impact our consolidated financial statements as we currently have four operating ground lease arrangements for which we are the lessee. We also expect our legal expense to increase as the new standard requires us to expense indirect leasing costs that were previously capitalized to leasing commissions. ASC 2016-02 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840 Leases. The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. 
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU-2015-03”), which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. ASU 2015-03 requires the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred financing cost. ASU 2015-03 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We have adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-03 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. We had unamortized deferred financing fees of $5.7 million and $6.1 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. These costs have been reclassified from deferred financing costs, net, to mortgage notes payable, net, borrowings under line of credit, net, borrowings under term loan facility, net, and Series C mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, net. All periods presented have been retrospectively adjusted.
The following table summarizes the retrospective adjustment and the overall impact on the previously reported consolidated financial statements (dollars in thousands):

2. Related-Party Transactions
Gladstone Management and Gladstone Administration
We are externally managed pursuant to contractual arrangements with our Adviser and our Administrator, which collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly. Both our Adviser and Administrator are affiliates of ours, as their parent company is owned and controlled by Mr. David Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer. Two of our executive officers, Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Terry Brubaker (our vice chairman and chief operating officer) serve as directors and executive officers of our Adviser and our Administrator. Mr. Michael LiCalsi, our general counsel and secretary, serves as our Administrator’s president. We have an advisory agreement with our Adviser, and an administration agreement with our Administrator, or the Administration Agreement. The services and fees under the advisory agreement and Administration Agreement are described below. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $1.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, was collectively due to our Adviser and Administrator.

Base Management Fee
On July 24, 2015, we entered into a second amended and restated advisory agreement, or the Second Amended Advisory Agreement, with the Adviser. Our entrance into the agreement was approved unanimously by our Board of Directors, including separate and unanimous approval by the independent directors on our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors generally reviews and considers approving or renewing the agreement with our Adviser each July.
Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended Advisory Agreement, effective July 1, 2015, the calculation of the annual base management fee equals 1.5% of our adjusted total stockholders’ equity, which is our total stockholders’ equity (before giving effect to the base management fee and incentive fee), adjusted to exclude the effect of any unrealized gains or losses that do not affect realized net income (including impairment charges) and adjusted for any one-time events and certain non-cash items (the later to occur for a given quarter only upon the approval of our Compensation Committee). The fee is calculated and accrued quarterly as 0.375% per quarter of such adjusted total stockholders’ equity figure. On July 12, 2016, we entered into a third amended and restated advisory agreement, to amend the definition of our adjusted total stockholders' equity to include total mezzanine equity. The amendment is effective as of July 1, 2016.
Prior to entering into the Second Amended Advisory Agreement on July 24, 2015, our then-existing advisory agreement with the Adviser, or the Former Advisory Agreement, provided for an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of our common stockholders’ equity, which was our total stockholders’ equity, less the recorded value of any preferred stock and adjusted to exclude the effect of any unrealized gains, losses, or other items that did not affect realized net income (including impairment charges).
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a base management fee of $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a base management fee of $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
Incentive Fee
Under the Second Amended Advisory Agreement, effective July 1, 2015, the calculation of the incentive fee was revised to reward the Adviser in circumstances where our quarterly Core FFO (defined at the end of this paragraph), before giving effect to any incentive fee, or pre-incentive fee Core FFO, exceeds 2.0% quarterly, or 8.0% annualized, of adjusted total stockholders’ equity (after giving effect to the base management fee but before giving effect to the incentive fee). We refer to this as the new hurdle rate. The Adviser will receive 15.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee Core FFO that exceeds the new hurdle rate. However, in no event shall the incentive fee for a particular quarter exceed by 15.0% (the cap) the average quarterly incentive fee paid by us for the previous four quarters (excluding quarters for which no incentive fee was paid). Core FFO is defined as GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders, excluding the incentive fee, depreciation and amortization, any realized and unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period, and one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP.
The incentive fee under the Former Advisory Agreement rewarded the Adviser in circumstances where our quarterly FFO, before giving effect to any incentive fee, or pre-incentive fee FFO, exceeded 1.75%, or 7.0% annualized, or the hurdle rate, of common stockholders’ equity. Funds from operations, or FFO, included any realized capital gains and capital losses, less any distributions paid on preferred stock and Senior Common Stock, but FFO did not include any unrealized capital gains or losses (including impairment charges). The Adviser received 100.0% of the amount of the pre-incentive fee FFO that exceeded the hurdle rate, but was less than 2.1875% of our common stockholders’ equity. The Adviser also received an incentive fee of 20.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee FFO that exceeded 2.1875% of common stockholders’ equity.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded an incentive fee of $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, offset by credits related to unconditional, voluntary and irrevocable waivers issued by the Adviser of $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively, resulting in a net incentive fee for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, of $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded an incentive fee of $1.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively, offset by credits related to unconditional, voluntary and irrevocable waivers issued by the Adviser of $1.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, resulting in a net incentive fee for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Our Board of Directors accepted the Adviser’s offer to waive, on a quarterly basis, a portion of the incentive fee for the three and six months covering January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015 in order to support the current level of distributions to our stockholders. The Adviser did not waive any portion of the incentive fee for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Waivers cannot be recouped by the Adviser in the future.

8


On July 12, 2016, we amended and restated our existing advisory agreement with our Adviser by entering into a third amended adn restated advisory agreement, to redefine the definition of adjusted stockholders' equity, to include total mezzanine equity, in the calculation of both the base management and incentive fee. All other provisions remained unchanged. The revision was effective as of July 1, 2016.
Capital Gain Fee
Under the Second Amended Advisory Agreement, effective July 1, 2015, we will pay to the Adviser a capital gains-based incentive fee that will be calculated and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the agreement). In determining the capital gain fee, we will calculate aggregate realized capital gains and aggregate realized capital losses for the applicable time period. For this purpose, aggregate realized capital gains and losses, if any, equals the realized gain or loss calculated by the difference between the sales price of the property, less any costs to sell the property and the current gross value of the property (which is calculated as the original acquisition price plus any subsequent non-reimbursed capital improvements). At the end of the fiscal year, if this number is positive, then the capital gain fee payable for such time period shall equal 15.0% of such amount. No capital gain fee was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015.
Termination Fee
The Second Amended Advisory Agreement includes a termination fee whereby, in the event of our termination of the agreement without cause (with 120 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), a termination fee would be payable to the Adviser equal to two times the sum of the average annual base management fee and incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the 24-month period prior to such termination. A termination fee is also payable if the Adviser terminates the agreement after the Company has defaulted and applicable cure periods have expired. The agreement may also be terminated for cause by us (with 30 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), with no termination fee payable. Cause is defined in the agreement to include if the Adviser breaches any material provisions of the agreement, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Adviser, dissolution of the Adviser and fraud or misappropriation of funds.
Administration Agreement
Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, we pay for our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses in performing services to us, including, but not limited to, rent and the salaries and benefits of its personnel, including our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary (who also serves as our Administrator’s president), and their respective staffs. Our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses is derived by multiplying our Administrator’s total expenses by the approximate percentage of time the Administrator’s employees perform services for us in relation to their time spent performing services for all companies serviced by our Administrator under contractual agreements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded an administration fee of $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded an administration fee of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Our Board of Directors generally reviews and considers approving or renewing the agreement with our Administrator each July.
Gladstone Securities
Gladstone Securities, LLC, or Gladstone Securities, is a privately held broker dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Gladstone Securities is an affiliate of ours, as its parent company is owned and controlled by Mr. David Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer. Mr. Gladstone also serves on the board of managers of Gladstone Securities.

Dealer Manager Agreement
In connection with the offering of our Senior Common Stock (see footnote 10, “Stockholders’ Equity,” for further details) we entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement, dated March 25, 2011, or the Dealer Manager Agreement, with Gladstone Securities pursuant to which Gladstone Securities agreed to act as our exclusive dealer manager in connection with the offering. The Dealer Manager Agreement terminated according to its terms on March 28, 2015, requiring us to write-off $0.1 million of deferred offering costs to general and administrative expense. Pursuant to the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement, Gladstone Securities was entitled to receive a sales commission in the amount of 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the shares of Senior Common Stock sold, plus a dealer manager fee in the amount of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the shares of Senior Common Stock sold. In addition, we agreed to indemnify Gladstone Securities against various liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the federal securities laws. We made approximately $0.3 million of payments during the six months ended June 30, 2015, to Gladstone Securities pursuant to this agreement.

Mortgage Financing Arrangement Agreement
We entered into an agreement with Gladstone Securities, effective June 18, 2013, for it to act as our non-exclusive agent to assist us with arranging mortgage financing for properties we own. In connection with this engagement, Gladstone Securities may from time to time solicit the interest of various commercial real estate lenders or recommend to us third party lenders offering credit products or packages that are responsive to our needs. We pay Gladstone Securities a financing fee in connection with the services it provides to us for securing mortgage financing on any of our properties. The amount of these financing fees, which are payable upon closing of the financing, are based on a percentage of the amount of the mortgage, generally ranging from 0.15% to a maximum of 1.0% of the mortgage obtained. The amount of the financing fees may be reduced or eliminated, as determined by us and Gladstone Securities, after taking into consideration various factors, including, but not limited to, the involvement of any third party brokers and market conditions. We paid financing fees to Gladstone Securities of $0.1 million and $0.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, which are included in mortgage notes payable, net, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, or 0.35% and 0.39% of total mortgages secured. We paid financing fees to Gladstone Securities of $0.1 million and $0.2 millions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, which are included in mortgage notes payable, net, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, or 0.3% of total mortgages secured in each period. Our Board of Directors renewed the agreement for an additional year, through August 31, 2017, at its July 2016 meeting.
3. Loss per Share of Common Stock
The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We computed basic loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, reflects additional shares of common stock related to our convertible senior common stock (if the effect would be dilutive), that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued, as well as an adjustment to net income available to common stockholders as applicable to common stockholders that would result from their assumed issuance (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts).

5. Real Estate Dispositions, Held for Sale, and Impairment Charges
Real Estate Dispositions
On May 16, 2016, we completed the sale of our Dayton, Ohio property for $0.2 million. There was no gain or loss recognized on this sale. We considered this office asset to be non-core to our long term strategy, and we re-deployed the proceeds to pay down outstanding debt.
The table below summarizes the components of operating income from the real estate and related assets disposed of for the Dayton, Ohio property during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, and 2015, respectively (dollars in thousands):

Real Estate Held for Sale
As of June 30, 2016, we classified one property located in Rock Falls, Illinois, two properties located in Angola, Indiana and one property located in Montgomery, Alabama, as held for sale under the provisions of ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” which requires that the assets and liabilities of any such properties, be presented separately in our condensed consolidated balance sheet in the current period presented. We consider these industrial assets to be non-core to our long term strategy. We have executed sales agreements for each of these properties and anticipate completing these sales during third quarter 2016.

Impairment Charge
We performed an evaluation and analysis on our portfolio and determined that our Dayton, Ohio property was impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2016 by an additional $0.04 million. We sold this property for $0.2 million in May 2016, and did not recognize any gain or loss on the sale. This property was previously impaired by $0.6 million during fiscal year 2015.
We also recorded impairment charges of $0.2 million on our four properties classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2016.
The fair values for the above properties were calculated using Level 3 inputs which include an executed purchase and sale agreement and estimated selling costs.
No other impairment was recognized on our portfolio during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.
6. Mortgage Note Receivable
On July 25, 2014, we closed a $5.6 million second mortgage development loan for the construction of an 81,371 square foot, build-to-suit transitional care facility located on a major hospital campus in Phoenix, Arizona. Subsequently, on April 14, 2015, we closed an additional $0.3 million interim financing loan for the development of the Phoenix, Arizona property. Construction was completed in July 2015 and we earned 9.0% interest, paid currently in cash, on the loan during construction and through maturity. Prior to completion of the facility, we were granted a right of first offer to purchase the property at fair value. We elected not to purchase the property, and received an exit fee upon maturity of the loan in an amount sufficient for us to earn an internal rate of return of 22% on the second mortgage development loan, inclusive of interest earned. We recognized $0.4 million in both cash interest income and exit fee revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2016. We recognized $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in both cash interest income and exit fee revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The principal balance of the loans and all associated interest and exit fee revenue was received in January 2016. We currently have no mortgage notes receivable outstanding.

Interest Rate Cap
We have entered into interest rate cap agreements that cap the interest rate on certain of our notes payable when one-month LIBOR is in excess of 3.0%. We have adopted the fair value measurement provisions for our financial instruments recorded at fair value. The fair value guidance establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Generally, we will estimate the fair value of our interest rate caps, in the absence of observable market data, using estimates of value including estimated remaining life, counterparty credit risk, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our interest rate cap agreements were valued using Level 2 inputs.
The fair value of the interest rate cap agreements is recorded in other assets on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. We record changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap agreements quarterly based on the current market valuations at quarter end as interest expense on our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the key terms of each interest rate cap agreement (dollars in thousands):

The fair value of all mortgage notes payable outstanding as of June 30, 2016 was $454.1 million, as compared to the carrying value stated above, inclusive of premiums, discounts and deferred financing costs, of $441.6 million. The fair value is calculated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using management’s estimate of market interest rates on long-term debt with comparable terms and loan to value ratios. The fair value was calculated using Level 3 inputs of the hierarchy established by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility
In August 2013, we procured a senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the Line of Credit, with KeyBank National Association (serving as a revolving lender, a letter of credit issuer and an administrative agent). On October 5, 2015, we expanded our Line of Credit to $85.0 million, extended the maturity date one-year through August 2018, with a one year extension option through August 2019 and entered into a Term Loan Facility (discussed below). The interest rate on the Line of Credit was also reduced by 25 basis points at each of the leverage tiers and the total maximum commitment under the two facilities, including the Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility, was increased from $100.0 million to $150.0 million. We also added three new lenders to the bank syndicate, which is now comprised of KeyBank, Comerica Bank, Fifth Third Bank, US Bank and Huntington Bank. We were subject to payment of $0.5 million for the modification of the agreement.
In connection with the Line of Credit expansion in October 2015 mentioned above, we added a $25.0 million, five year term loan facility, or the Term Loan Facility, which was fully drawn at closing and matures in October 2020. The Term Loan Facility is subject to the same leverage tiers as the Line of Credit; however the interest rate at each leverage tier is five basis points lower. We have the option to repay the Term Loan Facility in full, or in part, at any time without penalty or premium prior to the maturity date.
As of June 30, 2016, there was $85.8 million outstanding under our Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.95% and $2.5 million outstanding under letters of credit at a weighted average interest rate of 2.5%. As of June 30, 2016, the maximum additional amount we could draw under the Line of Credit was $8.6 million. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2016.
The amount outstanding under the Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility approximates fair value as of June 30, 2016, as the debt is variable rate.

8. Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock
In February 2012, we completed a public offering of 1,540,000 shares of 7.125% Series C Cumulative Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, or the Term Preferred Stock, at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds of the offering totaled $38.5 million and net proceeds, after deducting offering expenses borne by us, were $36.7 million. The Term Preferred Stock is traded under the ticker symbol GOODN on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, or the NASDAQ. The Term Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security of ours. As of January 31, 2016, we may redeem the shares at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to and including the date of redemption. The shares of the Term Preferred Stock have a mandatory redemption date of January 31, 2017. We incurred $1.8 million in total offering costs related to these transactions, which have been recorded net of the Series C mandatorily redeemable preferred stock on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized over the redemption period, ending August 19, 2016, see Note 11 for further information regarding the redemption of the Term Preferred Stock.
The Term Preferred Stock is recorded as a liability in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” which states that mandatorily redeemable financial instruments should be classified as liabilities and therefore the related dividend payments are treated as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During June 2016, we partially redeemed $25.0 million of our Term Preferred Stock and accordingly wrote-off $0.1 million of unamortized offering costs, which were recorded to interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Subsequent to the second quarter, we sent notices of redemption for the remaining 540,000 shares outstanding of our Term Preferred Stock. We intend to redeem these shares on August 19, 2016 at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends.
The fair value of our Term Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2016, was $13.6 million, as compared to the carrying value of $13.4 million, which includes $0.1 million of unamortized deferred financing costs. The fair value is calculated based on the closing share price as of June 30, 2016 of $25.20. The fair value was calculated using Level 1 inputs of the hierarchy established by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

Recent Activity
Common Stock ATM Program
We sold 65,000 shares of common stock, raising $0.9 million in net proceeds under our previous ATM Program with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., or Cantor Fitzgerald. In February 2016, we amended our common ATM program, or the Amended Common ATM, with Cantor Fitzgerald. The amendment increased the amount of shares of common stock that we may offer and sell through Cantor Fitzgerald, to $160.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we sold 433,000 shares of common stock, raising $7.2 million in net proceeds under our Amended Common ATM. All other terms of the common ATM program remained unchanged. As of June 30, 2016, we had a remaining capacity to sell up to $151.8 million of common stock under the Amended Common ATM.

21


Preferred Stock ATM Programs
Series A and B Preferred Stock: In February 2016, we entered into an open market sales agreement, or the Series A and B Preferred ATM, with Cantor Fitzgerald, pursuant to which we may, from time to time, offer to sell (i) shares of our 7.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and (ii) shares of our 7.50% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $40.0 million, through Cantor Fitzgerald, acting as sales agent and/or principal. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we sold 114,000 shares of our Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $2.8 million. As of June 30, 2016, we had a remaining capacity to sell up to $37.2 million of preferred stock under the Series A and B Preferred ATM.
Mezzanine Equity
Series D Preferred Stock: In May 2016, we entered into purchase agreements with certain institutional investors and broker dealers whereby we agreed to sell a total of 1,043,725 shares of our newly created 7.00% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, or the Series D Preferred, par value $0.001 per share, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, in a registered direct placement at a purchase price of $25.00 per share. Our total net proceeds from the offering, after deducting offering expenses, were $25.3 million. The proceeds from the Series D Preferred were used to redeem $25.0 million of our Term Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred is classified as mezzanine equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheet because it is redeemable at the option of the shareholder upon a change of control of greater than 50% in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity," which requires mezzanine equity classification for preferred stock issuances with redemption features which are outside of the control of the issuer. We will periodically evaluate the likelihood that a change of control greater than 50% will take place, and if we deem this probable, we would adjust the Series D Preferred presented in mezzanine equity to their redemption value , with the offset to gain(loss) on extinguishment. We currently believe the likelihood of a change of control greater than 50% is remote.
Series D Preferred Stock ATM: In June 2016, we entered into an open market sales agreement, or the Series D Preferred ATM, with Cantor Fitzgerald, pursuant to which we may, from time to time, offer to sell shares of our Series D Preferred, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million, through Cantor Fitzgerald, acting as sales agent and/or principal. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we sold 20,000 shares of our Series D Preferred for net proceeds of $0.5 million. As of June 30, 2016, we had a remaining capacity to sell up to $49.5 million of Series D Preferred under the Series D Preferred ATM.

On July 12, 2016, we amended and restated our existing advisory agreement with our Adviser to redefine the definition of adjusted stockholders' equity, by entering into a third amended and restated advisory agreement, to include total mezzanine equity in the calculation of both the base management and incentive fee. All other provisions remained unchanged. The amended definition is effective as of July 1, 2016.

General
We are an externally-advised real estate investment trust, or REIT, that was incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland on February 14, 2003. We focus on acquiring, owning, and managing primarily office and industrial properties. On a selective basis, we may make long term industrial and commercial mortgage loans. Our properties are geographically diversified and our tenants cover a broad cross section of business sectors and range in size from small to very large private and public companies. We actively communicate with buyout funds, real estate brokers and other third parties to locate properties for potential acquisition or to provide mortgage financing in an effort to build our portfolio. We target secondary growth markets that possess favorable economic growth trends, diversified industries, and growing population and employment.
We have historically entered into, and intend in the future to enter into, purchase agreements for real estate having net leases with terms of approximately 7 to 15 years and built in rental rate increases. Under a net lease, the tenant is required to pay all operating, maintenance, repair and insurance costs and real estate taxes with respect to the leased property.
As of July 25, 2016:
 
we owned 99 properties totaling 11.1 million square feet in 24 states;
our occupancy rate was 98.5%;
the weighted average remaining term of our mortgage debt was 6.4 years and the weighted average interest rate was 4.77%; and
the average remaining lease term of the portfolio was 8.1 years.

Business Environment
In the United States, vacancy rates have decreased for both office and industrial properties in most markets, as increased user demand has led to improved conditions. In fact, vacancy rates in many markets have been reduced to levels seen at the peak before the most recent recession and rental rates have increased in many primary and secondary markets. This condition has led to a rise in construction activity for both office and industrial properties in many markets; however, vacancy rates in certain secondary and tertiary markets are still higher than pre-recession levels as job growth has yet to return to all areas of the country even though the published unemployment rate has dropped over the past 12 months. Interest rates have been volatile since the beginning of the year and although interest rates are still relatively low, lenders have increased their required spreads and overall financing costs for fixed rate mortgages appear to be on the rise. The combined characteristics of lower vacancy rates, increased supply of capital from private and foreign buyers, and a potential rise in financing costs has led to increased competition for new acquisitions.

24


From a more macro-economic perspective, the strength of the global economy and U.S. economy in particular continue to be uncertain with increased volatility due to the recent vote in the United Kingdom to exit the European Union, the oversupply of energy worldwide and an apparent global economic slowdown. In addition, the uncertainty surrounding the ability of the federal government to address its fiscal condition in both the near and long term as well as other geo-political issues has increased domestic and global instability. These developments could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may adversely affect our ability to access both the equity and debt markets and could have an adverse effect on our tenants as well.
We continue to focus on re-leasing vacant space, renewing upcoming lease maturities and acquiring additional properties. Currently, we only have one fully vacant building, which is located in Newburyport, Massachusetts, and a total of five partially vacant buildings.
We have one expiring lease in 2016, which accounts for 0.1% of rental income recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2016, six expiring leases in 2017, which accounts for 2.3% of rental income recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and three expiring leases in 2018, which accounts for 1.9% of rental income recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Our available vacant space at June 30, 2016 represents 1.5% of our total square footage and the annual carrying costs on the vacant space, including real estate taxes and property operating expenses, are approximately $0.9 million. We continue to actively seek new tenants for these properties.
Our ability to make new investments is highly dependent upon our ability to procure external financing. Our principal sources of external financing generally include the issuance of equity securities, long-term mortgage loans secured by properties and borrowings under our line of credit, or the Line of Credit. While lenders’ credit standards have tightened, long-term mortgages are readily obtainable. We continue to look to regional banks and insurance companies, in addition to the collateralized mortgage backed securities market, or the CMBS market, to issue mortgages to finance our real estate activities.
In addition to obtaining funds through borrowing, we have been active in the equity markets during the six months ended June 30, 2016. We have issued shares of both common and preferred stock through our at-the-market programs, or ATM Programs, pursuant to our open market sale agreements with Cantor Fitzgerald, discussed in more detail below.

The amendment increased the amount of shares of common stock that we may offer and sell through Cantor Fitzgerald, to $160.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we sold 433,000 shares of common stock, raising $7.2 million in net proceeds under our Amended Common ATM.

Diversity of Our Portfolio
Our Adviser seeks to diversify our portfolio to avoid dependence on any one particular tenant, industry or geographic market. By diversifying our portfolio, our Adviser intends to reduce the adverse effect on our portfolio of a single under-performing investment or a downturn in any particular industry or geographic market. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, our largest tenant comprised only 5.8% of total rental income. The table below reflects the breakdown of our total rental income by tenant industry classification for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively (dollars in thousands):

Our Adviser and Administrator
Our Adviser is led by a management team with extensive experience purchasing real estate and originating mortgage loans. Our Adviser and Administrator are controlled by Mr. David Gladstone, who is also our chairman and chief executive officer. Mr. Gladstone also serves as the chairman and chief executive officer of both our Adviser and Administrator. Mr. Terry Lee Brubaker, our vice chairman and chief operating officer, is also the vice chairman and chief operating officer of our Adviser and Administrator. Mr. Robert Cutlip, our president, is also an executive managing director of our Adviser. Gladstone Administration, LLC, or our Administrator, employs our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary (who also serves as our Administrator’s president) and their respective staffs.


29


Our Adviser and Administrator also provide investment advisory and administrative services, respectively, to certain of our affiliates, including, but not limited to, Gladstone Capital Corporation and Gladstone Investment Corporation, both publicly-traded business development companies, as well as Gladstone Land Corporation, a publicly-traded REIT that primarily invests in farmland. With the exception of Ms. Danielle Jones, our chief financial officer, Mr. Jay Beckhorn, our treasurer, and Mr. Robert Cutlip, our president, all of our executive officers and all of our directors serve as either directors or executive officers, or both, of Gladstone Capital Corporation and Gladstone Investment Corporation. In addition, with the exception of Mr. Cutlip and Ms. Jones, all of our executive officers and all of our directors, serve as either directors or executive officers, or both, of Gladstone Land Corporation. In the future, our Adviser may provide investment advisory services to other companies, both public and private.
Advisory and Administration Agreements
We are externally managed pursuant to contractual arrangements with our Adviser and our Administrator. Our Adviser and Administrator employ all of our personnel and pay their payroll, benefits and general expenses directly. We have an investment advisory agreement with our Adviser, and an administration agreement with our Administrator, or the Administration Agreement.
Under the terms of the advisory agreement, we are responsible for all expenses incurred for our direct benefit. Examples of these expenses include legal, accounting, interest on short-term debt and mortgages, tax preparation, directors’ and officers’ insurance, stock transfer services, stockholder-related fees, consulting and related fees. In addition, we are also responsible for all fees charged by third parties that are directly related to our business, which include real estate brokerage fees, mortgage placement fees, lease-up fees and transaction structuring fees (although we may be able to pass some or all of such fees on to our tenants and borrowers).
Advisory Agreement
On July 24, 2015, we entered into a second amended and restated advisory agreement, or the Second Amended Advisory Agreement, with the Adviser. Our entrance into the agreement was approved unanimously by our Board of Directors, including separate and unanimous approval by the independent directors on our Board of Directors.
The calculation of the annual base management fee was revised to equal 1.5% of our total stockholders’ equity, (before giving effect to the base management and incentive fee), adjusted to exclude the effect of any unrealized gains or losses that do not affect realized net income (including impairment charges) and adjusted for any one-time events and certain non-cash items (only after approval of our Compensation Committee), or adjusted total stockholders’ equity. The fee is calculated and accrued quarterly as 0.375% per quarter of such adjusted total stockholders’ equity figure.
The calculation of the annual incentive fee was revised to reward the Adviser if our quarterly Core FFO (defined below), before giving effect to any incentive fee, or pre-incentive fee Core FFO, exceeds 2.0%, or 8.0% annualized, of adjusted total stockholders’ equity (after giving effect to the base management fee but before giving effect to the incentive fee), or the new hurdle rate. The Adviser receives 15.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee Core FFO that exceeds the new hurdle rate. However, in no event shall the incentive fee for a particular quarter exceed the average quarterly incentive fee paid by us for the previous four quarters by greater than 15.0% (excluding quarters for which no incentive fee was paid). Core FFO is defined as GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders, excluding the incentive fee, depreciation and amortization, any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period, and one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP.
A capital gains-based incentive fee was instituted that is calculated and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination). In determining the capital gain fee, we will calculate aggregate realized capital gains and aggregate realized capital losses for the applicable time period. For this purpose, aggregate realized capital gains and losses, if any, equals the realized gain or loss calculated by the difference between the sales price of the property, less any costs to sell the property and the current gross value of the property (which is calculated as the original acquisition price plus any subsequent non-reimbursed capital improvements). At the end of the fiscal year, if this number is positive, then the capital gain fee payable for such time period shall equal 15.0% of such amount.
The Second Amended Advisory Agreement includes a termination fee where, in the event of a termination without cause (with 120 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), a termination fee would be payable to the Adviser equal to two times the sum of the average annual base management fee and incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the 24-month period prior to such termination. A termination fee is also payable if the Adviser terminates the agreement after the Company has defaulted and applicable cure periods have expired. The agreement may also be terminated for cause (with 30 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), with no termination fee payable. Cause is defined in the agreement to include if the Adviser breaches any material provisions of the Agreement, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Adviser, dissolution of the Adviser and fraud or misappropriation of funds.

30


On July 12, 2016, we further amended our advisory agreement with our Adviser by entering into a third amended and restated advisory agreement, to redefine the definition of adjusted stockholders' equity, to include total mezzanine equity, in the calculation of both the base management and incentive fee. All other provisions remained unchanged.The amended definition is effective as of July 1, 2016.
Administration Agreement
Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, we pay for our allocable portion of our Administrator’s overhead expenses incurred while performing its obligations to us, including, but not limited to, rent and the salaries and benefits expenses of our personnel, including our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary (who also serves as our Administrator’s president), and their respective staffs. Our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses is generally derived by multiplying our Administrator’s total expenses by the approximate percentage of time the Administrator’s employees perform services for us in relation to their time spent performing services for all companies serviced by our Administrator under contractual agreements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S., or GAAP, requires management to make judgments that are subjective in nature in order to make certain estimates and assumptions. Application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment regarding the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates. A summary of all of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in our 2015 Form 10-K. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2016; however we issued mezzanine equity during the six months ended June 30, 2016, which is further described in Note 10.
Results of Operations
The weighted average yield on our total portfolio, which was 8.6% as of June 30, 2016 and 8.8% as of June 30, 2015, is calculated by taking the annualized straight-line rents, reflected as rental income on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, of each acquisition since inception as a percentage of the acquisition cost. The weighted average yield does not account for the interest expense incurred on the mortgages placed on our properties.

Same Store Analysis
For the purposes of the following discussion, same store properties are properties we owned as of January 1, 2015, which have not been subsequently vacated, or disposed of. Acquired and disposed of properties are properties which were either acquired, disposed of or classified as held for sale at any point subsequent to December 31, 2014. Properties with vacancy are properties that were fully or partially vacant at any point subsequent to January 1, 2015.

Rental revenue from same store properties increased slightly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily because of additional rental income received from lease renewals at our Duncan, South Carolina and Raleigh, North Carolina properties, which were executed in 2015. Rental revenue increased for acquired and disposed properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, because we acquired three properties subsequent to June 30, 2015, and the inclusion of a full six months of rental revenue in 2016 for four properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Rental revenue decreased for our properties with vacancy because the Newburyport, Massachusetts property went vacant in May 2015 coupled with reduced rent in our partially vacant Maple Heights, Ohio property; this was offset by increased rents at our Baytown, Texas, Burnsville, Minnesota and Raleigh, North Carolina properties from leasing vacant space.

The decrease in same store tenant recovery revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, is a result of decreased recoveries from gross leases at certain of our properties due to lower property operating expenses at certain properties during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in same store tenant recovery revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, is a result of increased recoveries from gross leases at certain of our properties. The increase in tenant recovery revenues on acquired and disposed of properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 is due to an increase in recoveries from tenants subject to a gross lease for properties acquired during and subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Interest income from mortgage notes receivable decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, because the mortgage note was repaid in full in January 2016.

Depreciation and amortization increased slightly for same store properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, due to depreciation on capital projects completed subsequent to June 30, 2015, coupled with amortization on leasing commissions for renewed leases with 2015 and 2016 expirations. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased for acquired and disposed of properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, because of the three properties acquired subsequent to June 30, 2015 and the inclusion of a full six months of depreciation and amortization recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 for four properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Property operating expenses consist of franchise taxes, management fees, insurance, ground lease payments, property maintenance and repair expenses paid on behalf of certain of our properties. The increase in property operating expenses for same store properties is a result of an increase in operating expenses incurred at properties subject to a gross lease, coupled with increased expense exposure at properties with leases subject to a cap on expense reimbursements. The increase in property operating expenses for acquired and disposed of properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily a result of property operating expenses incurred at properties subject to a gross lease which were acquired during and subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Acquisition related expenses primarily consist of legal fees and fees incurred for third-party reports prepared in connection with potential acquisitions and our due diligence analyses related thereto. Acquisition related expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, because we only acquired one property during the six months ended June 30, 2016. We acquired four properties during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
The base management fee paid to the Adviser decreased slightly for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, because of the amendment to the calculation of the base management fee effective July 1, 2015. The base management fee paid to the Adviser was flat for the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, because the increase in total stockholders' equity in the past 12 months was offset by the lower fee per the amendment to the calculation. The calculation of the base management fee is described in detail above within “Advisory and Administration Agreements.”
The net incentive fee paid to the Adviser increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, because of an increase in pre-incentive fee FFO, coupled with a reduction in the credit to incentive fee. The increase in pre-incentive fee FFO was primarily due to an increase in rental revenues from the properties acquired during and subsequent to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. We amended the advisory agreement, which resulted in a change to the incentive fee calculation, effective July 1, 2015. The new calculation of the incentive fee is described in detail above within “Advisory and Administration Agreements.”
The administration fee paid to the Administrator increased slightly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was driven primarily by us using a higher share of our administrator's resources during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.
General and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of an increase in professional fees related to the redemption of our Term Preferred Stock. General and administrative expenses decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily as a result professional fees incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2015 from the write-off of professional fees related to our terminated senior common stock offering program.
The impairment loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was from the impairment recorded in connection with the properties that were classified as held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

36


Other Income and Expenses
Interest expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. This decrease was primarily a result of refinanced mortgages at lower interest rates which were completed subsequent to June 30, 2015. During the previous 12 months, we have refinanced $85.8 million in mortgage debt at a weighted average interest rate of 5.9% with $33.3 million of new mortgage debt at a weighted average interest rate of 2.9%, coupled with reduced interest expense on our long-term financings from amortizing and balloon principal payments made during the past 12 months. This is partially offset by interest on the $21.2 million of mortgage debt issued in the past 12 months to finance new acquisitions.
Other income increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, because of settlement income received from the tenant that vacated our property located in Newburyport, Massachusetts related to deferred capital projects.
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
Net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily because of an increase in rental income from the properties acquired over the past 12 months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our sources of liquidity include cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our Line of Credit and issuing additional equity securities. Our available liquidity, as of June 30, 2016, was $12.6 million, including $4.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and an available borrowing capacity of $8.6 million under our Line of Credit. Our available borrowing capacity under the Line of Credit has increased to $28.6 million as of July 25, 2016.
Future Capital Needs
We actively seek conservative investments that are likely to produce income to pay distributions to our stockholders. We intend to use the proceeds received from future equity raised and debt capital borrowed to continue to invest in industrial, and office real property and to a lesser extent medical real property, make mortgage loans, or pay down outstanding borrowings under our Line of Credit. Accordingly, to ensure that we are able to effectively execute our business strategy, we routinely review our liquidity requirements and continually evaluate all potential sources of liquidity. Our short-term liquidity needs include proceeds necessary to fund our distributions to stockholders, pay the debt service costs on our existing long-term mortgages, redeem our Term Preferred Stock and fund our current operating costs. Our long-term liquidity needs include proceeds necessary to grow and maintain our portfolio of investments.
We believe that our available liquidity is sufficient to fund our distributions to stockholders, pay the debt service costs on our existing long-term mortgages and fund our current operating costs in the near term. Additionally, to satisfy our short-term obligations, we may request credits to our management fees that are issued from our Adviser, although our Adviser is under no obligation to provide any such credits, either in whole or in part. Historically, our Adviser has provided such partial credits to our management fees on a quarterly basis. We further believe that our cash flow from operations coupled with the financing capital available to us in the future are sufficient to fund our long-term liquidity needs.
Equity Capital
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we raised net proceeds of (i) $8.1 million of common equity under our ATM with Cantor Fitzgerald at a weighted average share price of $16.50, (ii) $2.8 million of preferred equity under our Series A and B Preferred ATM with Cantor Fitzgerald at a weighted average share price of $25.00, (iii) $25.3 million of preferred equity in a private placement with our newly issued Series D Preferred Stock and (iv) $0.5 million under our Series D Preferred ATM. We used these proceeds to repay a portion of our Term Preferred Stock, to fund our new acquisition and for other general corporate purposes.

37


As of July 25, 2016, we have the ability to raise up to $447.7 million of additional equity capital through the sale and issuance of securities that are registered under our universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-208953), or the Universal Shelf, in one or more future public offerings. Of the $447.7 million of available capacity under our Universal Shelf, approximately $142.3 million of common stock is reserved for additional sales under our Common ATM, approximately $37.2 million of preferred stock is reserved for additional sales under our Series A and B Preferred ATM, and approximately $44.3 million is reserved for additional sales under our Series D Preferred ATM as of July 25, 2016. We expect to continue to use our ATM programs as a source of liquidity for 2016.
Debt Capital
As of June 30, 2016, we had mortgage notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $446.3 million, collateralized by a total of 72 properties with a remaining weighted average maturity of 6.4 years. The weighted-average interest rate on the mortgage notes payable as of June 30, 2016 was 4.77%.
We continue to see banks and other non-bank lenders willing to issue mortgages. Consequently, we are focused on obtaining mortgages through regional banks, non-bank lenders and the CMBS market.

We have mortgage debt in the aggregate principal amount of $25.3 million payable during the remainder of 2016 and $70.1 million payable during 2017. The 2016 principal amounts payable include both amortizing principal payments and two balloon principal payments due in December of 2016. We anticipate being able to refinance our mortgages that come due during 2016 and 2017 with a combination of new mortgage debt and the issuance of additional equity securities. We have sucessfully refinanced $105.0 million of debt over the past 18 months with either new mortgage debt or by generating additional availability by adding properties to our unsecured pool under our Line of Credit. In addition, we have raised substantial equity under our ATM programs and plan to continue to use these programs.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016, was $17.8 million, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in rental receipts from acquisitions completed subsequent to June 30, 2015, partially offset by leasing commissions paid, coupled with an increase in operating expenses on vacant properties. The majority of cash from operating activities is generated from the rental payments and operating expense recoveries that we receive from our tenants. We utilize this cash to fund our property-level operating expenses and use the excess cash primarily for debt and interest payments on our mortgage notes payable, interest payments on our Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility, distributions to our stockholders, management fees to our Adviser, Administration fees to our Administrator and other entity-level operating expenses.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016, was $11.3 million, which primarily consisted of the acquisition of one property and tenant improvements performed at certain of our properties, partially offset by the repayment of our mortgage note receivable coupled with receipts from lenders for funds held in escrow as compared to net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015, of $63.2 million, which primarily consisted of the acquisition of four properties, coupled with tenant improvements performed at certain of our properties.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016, was $7.7 million, which primarily consisted of the redemption of our Term Preferred Stock, distributions paid to our stockholders and principal repayments on mortgage notes payable, partially offset by issuance of mortgage notes payable coupled with proceeds from the sale of both common and preferred stock. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015, was $41.4 million, which primarily consisted of proceeds from the sale of common stock and issuance of mortgage notes payable, partially offset by distributions paid to our stockholders and principal repayments on mortgage notes payable.

Line of Credit
In August 2013, we procured our Line of Credit with KeyBank (serving as a revolving lender, a letter of credit issuer and an administrative agent). In October 2015, we expanded our Line of Credit to $85.0 million, extended the maturity date one year through August 2018, with a one year extension option through August 2019 and entered into a Term Loan Facility (discussed below). The interest rate on the revolving line of credit was also reduced by 25 basis points at each of the leverage tiers and the total maximum commitment under the two facilities, including the Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility, was increased from $100.0 million to $150.0 million. We also added three new lenders to the bank syndicate, which is now comprised of KeyBank, Comerica Bank, Fifth Third Bank, US Bank and Huntington Bank. We were subject to a payment of $0.5 million for the modification of the agreement.
In connection with the Line of Credit expansion discussed above, we added a $25.0 million five-year Term Loan Facility, which matures in October 2020. The Term Loan Facility is subject to the same leverage tiers as the Line of Credit, however the interest rate at each leverage tier is five basis points lower. We have the option to repay the Term Loan Facility in full, or in part, at any time without penalty or premium prior to the maturity date.

As of June 30, 2016, there was $85.8 million outstanding under our Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.95% and $2.5 million outstanding under letters of credit at a weighted average interest rate of 2.5%. As of July 25, 2016, the maximum additional amount we could draw under the Line of Credit was $28.6 million. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2016.

Debt obligations represent borrowings under our Line of Credit, which represents $60.8 million of the debt obligation due in 2018, Term Loan Facility, which represents $25.0 million of the debt obligation due in 2020, mortgage notes payable that were outstanding as of June 30, 2016, and amounts due to the holders of our Series C Term Preferred Stock. This figure does not include $0.3 million of premiums and (discounts) net and $5.7 million of deferred financing costs net, which are reflected in mortgage notes payable on the consolidated balance sheet.
(2)
Interest on debt obligations includes estimated interest on our borrowings under our Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility, mortgage notes payable and interest due to the holders of our Term Preferred Stock. The remaining outstanding shares of our Term Preferred Stock will be redeemed in full on August 19, 2016. The balance and interest rate on our Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility is variable; thus, the amount of interest calculated for purposes of this table was based upon rates and balances as of June 30, 2016.
(3)
Operating lease obligations represent the ground lease payments due on our Tulsa, Oklahoma, Dartmouth, Massachusetts, Springfield, Missouri, and Salt Lake City, Utah properties.
(4)
Purchase obligations consist of tenant and capital improvements at 10 of our properties. These items were recognized on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2016.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2016.

Funds from Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, developed FFO as a relevant non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an equity REIT, to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the same basis determined under GAAP. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property and impairment losses on property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. Comparison of FFO, using the NAREIT definition, to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.
FFO available to common stockholders is FFO adjusted to subtract distributions made to holders of preferred stock and senior common stock. We believe that net income available to common stockholders is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO available to common stockholders.
Basic funds from operations per share, or Basic FFO per share, and diluted funds from operations per share, or Diluted FFO per share, is FFO available to common stockholders divided by the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding and FFO available to common stockholders divided by the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on a diluted basis, respectively, during a period. We believe that FFO available to common stockholders, Basic FFO per share and Diluted FFO per share are useful to investors because they provide investors with a further context for evaluating our FFO results in the same manner that investors use net income and earnings per share, or EPS, in evaluating net income available to common stockholders. In addition, because most REITs provide FFO available to common stockholders, Basic FFO and Diluted FFO per share information to the investment community, we believe these are useful supplemental measures when comparing us to other REITs. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO, Basic EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Basic FFO per share, and that Diluted EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Diluted FFO per share.

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. The primary risk that we believe we are and will be exposed to is interest rate risk. Certain of our leases contain escalations based on market indices, and the interest rate on our Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility is variable. Although we seek to mitigate this risk by structuring such provisions of our loans and leases to contain a minimum interest rate or escalation rate, as applicable, these features do not eliminate this risk. To that end, we have entered into derivative contracts to cap interest rates for our variable rate notes payable. For details regarding our rate cap agreements see Note 7 – Mortgage Notes Payable and Line of Credit.
To illustrate the potential impact of changes in interest rates on our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016, we have performed the following analysis, which assumes that our balance sheet remains constant and that no further actions beyond a minimum interest rate or escalation rate are taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity.
The following table summarizes the annual impact of a 1%, 2% and 3% increase in the one month LIBOR as of June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, our effective average LIBOR was 0.47%; thus, a 1%, 2% or 3% decrease could not occur.

As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of our mortgage debt outstanding was $454.1 million. Interest rate fluctuations may affect the fair value of our debt instruments. If interest rates on our debt instruments, using rates at June 30, 2016, had been one percentage point higher or lower, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have decreased or increased by $17.5 million and $18.8 million, respectively.
The amount outstanding under the Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility approximates fair value as of June 30, 2016, as the debt is variable rate.
In the future, we may be exposed to additional effects of interest rate changes, primarily as a result of our Line of Credit, Term Loan Facility or long-term mortgage debt, which we use to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate the interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our real estate is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees and borrowers, all of which may affect our ability to refinance debt, if necessary.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures.
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2016, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2016 in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of necessarily achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
