AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL GLOBAL TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2013
(Unaudited)


Note 1 — Organization
American Realty Capital Global Trust, Inc. (the "Company"), incorporated on July 13, 2011, is a Maryland corporation that intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2013. On April 20, 2012, the Company commenced its initial public offering ("IPO") on a "reasonable best efforts" basis of up to 150.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a price of $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-177563) (the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement also covers up to 25.0 million shares of common stock pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the "DRIP") under which the Company's common stockholders may elect to have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company's common stock.
On October 24, 2012, the Company received and accepted subscriptions in excess of the minimum offering amount of $2.0 million in shares, broke escrow and issued shares of common stock to initial investors who were admitted as stockholders. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had 8.8 million shares of stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares and shares issued under the DRIP and had received total gross proceeds from the IPO of $86.3 million. As of September 30, 2013, the aggregate value of all the common stock outstanding was $87.9 million based on a per share value of $10.00 (or $9.50 for shares issued under the DRIP). Until the filing of the Company's second quarterly financial filing with the SEC, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), following the Company's acquisition of at least $1.2 billion in total investment portfolio assets, the per share purchase price in the IPO will be up to $10.00 per share (including the maximum allowed to be charged for commissions and fees) and shares issued under the DRIP will initially be equal to $9.50 per share, which is 95% of the initial offering price in the IPO. Thereafter, the per share purchase price will vary quarterly and will be equal to the Company's net asset value ("NAV") per share plus applicable commissions and fees, and the per share purchase price in the DRIP will be equal to the NAV per share.
The Company was formed to primarily acquire a diversified portfolio of commercial properties, with an emphasis on sale-leaseback transactions involving single tenant net-leased commercial properties. The Company's primary geographic target is the United States, although up to 40% of its portfolio may consist of properties purchased in Europe and up to an additional 10% may consist of properties purchased elsewhere internationally. All such properties may be acquired and operated by the Company alone or jointly with another party. The Company may also originate or acquire first mortgage loans secured by real estate. As of September 30, 2013, the Company owned nine properties consisting of 0.5 million rentable square feet, which were 100.0% leased, with a remaining lease term of 10.7 years.
Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through American Realty Capital Global Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "OP"), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner and holds substantially all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP ("OP units"). American Realty Capital Global Special Limited Partner, LLC (the "Special Limited Partner"), an entity wholly owned by AR Capital Global Holdings, LLC (the "Sponsor"), contributed $200 to the OP in exchange for 22 OP units, which represents a nominal percentage of the aggregate OP ownership. A holder of OP units has the right to convert OP units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of the Company's common stock or, at the option of the OP, a corresponding number of shares of the Company's common stock, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the OP. The remaining rights of the limited partner interests are limited, however, and do not include the ability to replace the general partner or to approve the sale, purchase or refinancing of the OP's assets.

(Unaudited)

The Company has no employees. American Realty Capital Global Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor") has been retained to manage the Company's affairs on a day-to-day basis. The properties are managed and leased by American Realty Capital Global Properties, LLC (the "Property Manager"). Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the "Dealer Manager") serves as the dealer manager of the IPO. The Advisor, Property Manager and Dealer Manager are affiliates of the Sponsor and Special Limited Partner. These related parties receive compensation and fees for services related to the IPO and for the investment and management of the Company's assets. These entities receive fees during the offering, acquisition, operational and liquidation stages. The Advisor and Property Manager have entered into a service provider agreement with Moor Park Capital Partners LLP (the "Service Provider"), an affiliate of a principal shareholder. Pursuant to the service provider agreements, the Service Provider has agreed to provide, subject to the Advisor's and Property Manager's oversight, certain real estate related services, as well as sourcing and structuring of investment opportunities, performance of due diligence, and arranging debt financing and equity investment syndicates, solely with respect to investments in Europe. Pursuant to the service provider agreements, 50.0% of the fees payable by the Company to the Advisor and a percentage of the fees paid to the Property Manager will be assigned to the Service Provider, solely with respect to the Company's foreign investment strategy in Europe. Such fees will be deducted from fees paid to the Advisor.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year or any subsequent interim period.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2013. There have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 other than the updates described below.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance regarding disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities, which requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with retrospective application for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this guidance, which is related to disclosure only, did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2012, the FASB issued revised guidance intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendments will allow an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance, which is related to disclosure only, did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL GLOBAL TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2013
(Unaudited)

In February 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance clarifying the accounting and disclosure requirements for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount under the arrangement is fixed at the reporting date. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance clarifying the accounting for the release of cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity.  The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 4 — Revolving Credit Facility
On July 25, 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement which allows for total borrowings of up to $50.0 million. The credit facility contains an “accordion feature” to allow the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the aggregate borrowings under the credit facility to up to $750.0 million through additional commitments.
The Company has the option, based upon its corporate leverage, to have the credit facility priced at either the Alternate Base Rate (as defined below) plus 0.60% to 1.20% or at adjusted LIBOR plus 1.60% to 2.20%. The Alternate Base Rate is defined in the credit agreement as a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the fluctuating annual rate of interest announced from time to time by the lender as its “prime rate” in effect on such day, (b) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus 0.5% and (c) the Adjusted LIBOR for a month period on such day plus 1%. Adjusted LIBOR refers to LIBOR multiplied by the statutory reserve rate, as determined by the Federal Reserve System of the United States. The credit facility requires an unused fee per annum of 0.25% and 0.15%, if the unused balance of the credit facility exceeds or is equal to or less than 50% of the available facility, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, there were no advances under the credit facility or unused borrowing capacity, as there were no borrowing base properties placed under the credit facility.
The credit facility provides for quarterly interest payments for each Alternate Base Rate loan and periodic payments for each adjusted LIBOR loan, based upon the applicable LIBOR loan period, with all principal outstanding being due on the maturity date in July 2016. The credit facility also contains two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions. The credit facility may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to prior notice to the lender. In the event of a default, the lender has the right to terminate their obligations under the credit facility and to accelerate the payment on any unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans.
The credit facility requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios (such as specified debt to equity and debt service coverage ratios) as well as the maintenance of a minimum net worth. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the credit facility agreement.

Some of the Company's mortgage notes payable agreements require the compliance of certain property-level financial covenants including debt service coverage ratios.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with financial covenants under its mortgage notes payable agreements.
Note 6 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2013, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company's derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company's potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.

A review of the fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, due from affiliates, accounts payable and distributions payable approximates their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the Company's remaining financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are reported below.

Note 7 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. In addition, certain of the Company's foreign operations expose the Company to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of the Company's cash receipts and payments in terms of the Company's functional currency. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of its functional currency, the U.S. dollar.
The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative or other purposes other than interest rate or foreign currency risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company may use interest rate swaps and collars as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate collars designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts if interest rates rise above the cap strike rate on the contract and payments of variable-rate amounts if interest rates fall below the floor strike rate on the contract.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Such derivatives have been used to hedge the variable cash flows with forecasted variable rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded no hedge ineffectiveness in earnings.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.3 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as a cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Net Investment Hedges
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on property investments it holds in foreign countries which pay rental income, property related expenses and hold debt instruments in foreign currencies. The Company uses foreign currency derivatives including cross currency swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on certain of its foreign investments. Cross currency swaps involve fixing the applicable currency exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on specified dates.
For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. Amounts are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had the following outstanding foreign currency derivatives that were used to hedge its net investments in foreign operations:

The Company is responsible for offering and related costs from the IPO, excluding commissions and dealer manager fees, up to a maximum of 1.5% of gross proceeds received from its ongoing offering of common stock, measured at the end of the offering. Offering costs in excess of the 1.5% cap as of the end of the offering are the Advisor's responsibility. As of September 30, 2013, offering and related costs, excluding commissions and dealer manager fees, exceeded 1.5% of gross proceeds received from the IPO by $3.1 million.
After the escrow break, the Advisor elected to cap cumulative offering costs incurred by the Company, net of unpaid amounts, to 15% of gross common stock proceeds during the offering period. As of September 30, 2013, cumulative offering costs were $12.2 million. Cumulative offering costs net of unpaid amounts, were less than the 15% threshold as of September 30, 2013.
Fees Paid in Connection With the Operations of the Company
The Advisor receives an acquisition fee of 1.0% of the contract purchase price of each acquired property and 1.0% of the amount advanced for a loan or other investment. Solely with respect to investment activities in Europe, the Service Provider is paid 50% of the acquisition fees and the Advisor receives the remaining 50%, as set forth in the service provider agreement. The Advisor is also reimbursed for insourced expenses incurred in the process of acquiring properties, which are fixed initially at 0.5% of the contract purchase price and 0.5% of the amount advanced for a loan or other investment. Additionally, the Company will pay third party acquisition expenses. Once the proceeds from the IPO have been fully invested, the total of all acquisition fees and acquisition expenses (including any financing coordination fee) will not exceed 4.5% of the aggregate contract purchase price of the Company's portfolio or 4.5% of the amount advanced for all loans or other investments.
If the Company's Advisor provides services in connection with the origination or refinancing of any debt that the Company obtains and uses to acquire properties or to make other permitted investments, or that is assumed, directly or indirectly, in connection with the acquisition of properties, the Company pays the Advisor a financing coordination fee equal to 0.75% of the amount available and/or outstanding under such financing, subject to certain limitations. Solely with respect to our investment activities in Europe, the Service Provider is paid 50% of the financing coordination fees and the Advisor receives the remaining 50%, as set forth in the service provider agreement. Such fees will be deducted from fees payable to the Advisor, pursuant to the service provider agreement.
Prior to January 1, 2013, the Company paid the Advisor a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the cost of investment portfolio assets (costs include the purchase price, acquisition expenses, capital expenditures and other customarily capitalized costs, but excluded acquisition fees). All or a portion of the asset management fee may have been waived or deferred at the sole discretion of our board of directors (a) to the extent that FFO, as adjusted, during the 6 months ending on the last day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date that such asset management fee is payable, is less than the distributions declared with respect to such six month period or (b) for any other reason.

Effective January 1, 2013, the following were eliminated: (i) the reduction of the asset management fee to the extent, if any, that the Company's funds from operations, as adjusted, during the six months ending on the last calendar quarter immediately preceding the date the asset management fee was payable was less than the distributions declared with respect to such six month period and (ii) the payment of asset management fees in cash, shares or restricted stock grants, or any combination thereof to the Advisor. Instead, the Company expects to issue (subject to periodic approval by the board of directors) to the Advisor performance-based restricted partnership units of the OP designated as "Class B units," which are intended to be profits interests and will vest, and no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as: (x) the value of the OP's assets plus all distributions made equals or exceeds the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return thereon (the "economic hurdle"); (y) any one of the following occurs: (1) the termination of the advisory agreement by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's independent directors without cause; (2) a listing; or (3) another liquidity event; and (z) the Advisor is still providing advisory services to the Company (the "performance condition"). Such Class B units will be forfeited immediately if: (a) the advisory agreement is terminated other than by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's independent directors without cause; or (b) the advisory agreement is terminated by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's independent directors without cause before the economic hurdle has been met.
The number of Class B units to be issued will be based on: (i) the excess of (A) the product of (y) the cost of assets multiplied by (z) 0.1875% over (B) any amounts payable as an oversight fee (as described below) for such calendar quarter; divided by (ii) the value of one share of common stock as of the last day of such calendar quarter. When and if approved by the board of directors, the Class B units are expected to be issued to the Advisor quarterly in arrears pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of the OP. Pursuant to the service provider agreement 50.0% of the Class B units will be assigned to the Service Provider, solely with respect to the Company's foreign investment strategy in Europe. As of September 30, 2013, the Company did not consider achievement of the performance condition to be probable. The value of issued Class B units will be determined and expensed when the Company deems the achievement of the performance condition to be probable. The Advisor will receive distributions on unvested Class B units equal to the distribution rate received on the Company's common stock. Such distributions on issued Class B units will be expensed in the consolidated statement of operations until the performance condition is considered probable to occur. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the board of directors approved the issuance of 4,646 and 5,218 Class B Units, respectively, to the Advisor in connection with this agreement.
If the Property Manager or an affiliate provides property management and leasing services for properties owned by the Company, the Company pays fees equal to: (i) with respect to stand-alone, single-tenant net leased properties which are not part of a shopping center, 2.0% of gross revenues from the properties managed and (ii) with respect to all other types of properties, 4.0% of gross revenues from the properties managed.
For services related to overseeing property management and leasing services provided by any person or entity that is not an affiliate of the Property Manager, the Company pays the Property Manager an oversight fee equal to 1.0% of gross revenues of the property managed.
Solely with respect to our investment activities in Europe, the Service Provider or other entity providing property management services with respect to such investments is paid: (i) with respect to single-tenant net leased properties which are not part of a shopping center, 1.75% of the gross revenues from such properties and (ii) with respect to all other types of properties, 3.5% of the gross revenues from such properties. The Property Manager receives 0.25% of the gross revenues from European single-tenant net leased properties which are not part of a shopping center and 0.5% of the gross revenues from all other types of properties, reflecting a split of the oversight fee with the Service Provider or an affiliated entity providing European property management services. Such fees are deducted from fees payable to the Advisor, pursuant to the service provider agreement.
Effective March 1, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with the Dealer Manager to provide strategic advisory services and investment banking services required in the ordinary course of the Company's business, such as performing financial analysis, evaluating publicly traded comparable companies and assisting in developing a portfolio composition strategy, a capitalization structure to optimize future liquidity options and structuring operations. Strategic advisory fees are amortized over approximately 26 months, the estimated remaining term of the IPO as of the date of the agreement, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company reimburses the Advisor's costs of providing administrative services, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which the Company's operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of (a) 2.0% of average invested assets and (b) 25.0% of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debt or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period. Additionally, the Company reimburses the Advisor for personnel costs in connection with other services during the operational stage, in addition to paying an asset management fee; however, the Company does not reimburse the Advisor for personnel costs in connection with services for which the Advisor receives acquisition fees or real estate commissions. No reimbursement was incurred from the Advisor for providing services during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
The Company pays the Advisor an annual subordinated performance fee calculated on the basis of the Company's total return to stockholders, payable annually in arrears, such that for any year in which the Company's total return on stockholders' capital exceeds 6.0% per annum, the Advisor is entitled to 15.0% of the excess total return but not to exceed 10.0% of the aggregate total return for such year (which will take into account distributions and realized appreciation). This fee is payable only upon the sale of assets, distributions or other events which results in our return on stockholders' capital exceeding 6.0% per annum. Solely with respect to our investment activities in Europe, the Service Provider will be paid 50.0% of the annual subordinated performance fee payable in respect of such investments, and the Advisor or its affiliates will receive the remaining 50%, as set forth in the service provider agreement. No such amounts had been incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
In order to improve operating cash flows and the ability to pay distributions from operating cash flows, the Advisor may waive certain fees including asset management and property management fees. Because the Advisor may waive certain fees, cash flow from operations that would have been paid to the Advisor may be available to pay distributions to stockholders. The fees that may be forgiven are not deferrals and accordingly, will not be paid to the Advisor. In certain instances, to improve the Company's working capital, the Advisor may elect to absorb a portion of the Company's general and administrative costs or property operating expenses. These absorbed costs are presented net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The following table details property operating and general and administrative expenses absorbed by the Advisor during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

Fees Paid in Connection with the Liquidation or Listing of the Company's Real Estate Assets
The Company pays a brokerage commission on the sale of property, not to exceed the lesser of 2.0% of the contract sale price of the property and 50% of the total brokerage commission paid if a third party broker is also involved; provided, however, that in no event may the real estate commissions paid to the Advisor, its affiliates and unaffiliated third parties exceed the lesser of 6.0% of the contract sales price and a reasonable, customary and competitive real estate commission, in each case, payable to the Advisor if the Advisor or its affiliates, as determined by a majority of the independent directors, provided a substantial amount of services in connection with the sale. No such amounts have been incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
If the Company is not simultaneously listed on an exchange, the Company will pay a subordinated participation in the net sales proceeds of the sale of real estate assets of 15.0% of remaining net sale proceeds after return of capital contributions to investors plus payment to investors of an annual 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded return on the capital contributed by investors. The Company cannot assure that it will provide this 6.0% return but the Advisor will not be entitled to the subordinated participation in net sale proceeds unless the Company's investors have received a 6.0% cumulative non-compounded return on their capital contributions. No such amounts have been incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
The Company will pay a subordinated incentive listing distribution of 15.0%, payable in the form of a promissory note, of the amount by which the market value of all issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock plus distributions exceeds the aggregate capital contributed by investors plus an amount equal to a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded annual return to investors. The Company cannot assure that it will provide this 6.0% return but the Advisor will not be entitled to the subordinated incentive listing fee unless investors have received a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded return on their capital contributions. No such fees have been incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Neither the Advisor nor any of its affiliates can earn both the subordination participation in the net proceeds and the subordinated listing distribution.
Solely with respect to the Company's properties in Europe, the Service Provider has the right to be paid up to 50% of subordinated participation in the net sales proceeds of the sale of real estate assets and 50% of subordinated incentive listing distribution relating to such properties. No such fees have been incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Upon termination or non-renewal of the advisory agreement, the Advisor will receive distributions from the OP payable in the form of a promissory note. In addition, the Advisor may elect to defer its right to receive a subordinated distribution upon termination until either a listing on a national securities exchange or other liquidity event occurs.
Note 11 — Economic Dependency
Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage the Advisor, its affiliates and entities under common ownership with the Advisor to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of properties owned by the Company, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, the sale of shares of the Company's common stock available for issue, transfer agency services, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services and investor relations.
As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon the Advisor and its affiliates. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company will be required to find alternative providers of these services.
Note 12 — Share-Based Compensation
Stock Option Plan
 The Company has a stock option plan (the "Plan") which authorizes the grant of nonqualified stock options to the Company's independent directors, officers, advisors, consultants and other personnel, subject to the absolute discretion of the board of directors and the applicable limitations of the Plan. The exercise price for all stock options granted under the Plan during the IPO will be $9.00, until the later of the end of the escrow period or the Company's first property acquisition, and thereafter through the termination of the IPO, based on NAV, and thereafter the exercise price for stock options granted to the independent directors will be equal to the fair market value of a share on the last business day preceding the annual meeting of stockholders. A total of 0.5 million shares have been authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no stock options were issued under the Plan.

Restricted Share Plan
The Company has an employee and director incentive restricted share plan (the "RSP"), which provides for the automatic grant of 3,000 restricted shares of common stock to each of the independent directors, without any further action by the Company's board of directors or the stockholders, on the date of initial election to the board of directors and on the date of each annual stockholder's meeting. Restricted stock issued to independent directors will vest over a five-year period following the first anniversary of the date of grant in increments of 20% per annum. The RSP provides the Company with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to the Company's directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to the Company, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to the Company, certain consultants to the Company and the Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to the Company. The fair market value of any shares of restricted stock granted under our restricted share plan, together with the total amount of acquisition fees, acquisition expense reimbursements, asset management fees, financing coordination fees, disposition fees and subordinated distributions by the operating partnership payable to the Advisor (or its assignees), shall not exceed (a) 6% of all properties' aggregate gross contract purchase price, (b) as determined annually, the greater, in the aggregate, of 2% of average invested assets and 25% of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debt or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period, (c) disposition fees, if any, of up to 3% of the contract sales price of all properties that we sell and (d) 15% of remaining net sales proceeds after return of capital contributions plus payment to investors of a 6% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded return on the capital contributed by investors. Additionally, the total number of shares of common stock granted under the RSP shall not exceed 5.0% of the Company's authorized shares of common stock pursuant to the IPO and in any event will not exceed 7.5 million shares (as such number may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and similar events).
Restricted share awards entitle the recipient to receive shares of common stock from the Company under terms that provide for vesting over a specified period of time or upon attainment of pre-established performance objectives. Such awards would typically be forfeited with respect to the unvested shares upon the termination of the recipient's employment or other relationship with the Company. Restricted shares may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the shares have vested. Holders of restricted shares may receive cash distributions prior to the time that the restrictions on the restricted shares have lapsed. Any distributions payable in shares of common stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares.  The following table reflects restricted share award activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

There was $4,000 and $7,000 of compensation expense related to restricted stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
Other Share-Based Compensation
The Company may issue common stock in lieu of cash to pay fees earned by the Company's directors at each director's election. There are no restrictions on the shares issued since these payments in lieu of cash relate to fees earned for services performed. There were no such shares of common stock issued in lieu of cash during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements of American Realty Capital Global Trust, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms "Company," "we," "our" and "us" refer to American Realty Capital Global Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, including, as required by context, to American Realty Capital Global Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the "OP," and to its subsidiaries. The Company is externally managed by American Realty Capital Global Advisors, LLC (our "Advisor"), a Delaware limited liability company.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "seeks," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "plans," "intends," "should" or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
We have a limited operating history and the Advisor has limited experience operating a public company. This inexperience makes our future performance difficult to predict.
All of our executive officers are also officers, managers and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our Advisor, our dealer manager, Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the "Dealer Manager") and other American Realty Capital affiliated entities. As a result, our executive officers, our Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our Advisor's compensation arrangements with us and other investment programs advised by American Realty Capital affiliates and conflicts in allocating time among these investment programs and us. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions.
Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other American Realty Capital advised investment programs, our Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties and other investments and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, meaning that we could invest in less attractive assets, which could reduce the investment return to our stockholders.
Commencing with the filing of our second quarterly financial filing pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), following our acquisition of at least $1.2 billion in total portfolio assets, the purchase price and repurchase price for our shares will be based on our net asset value ("NAV") rather than a public trading market. Our published NAV may not accurately reflect the value of our assets. No public market currently exists, or may ever exist, for shares of our common stock and our shares are, and may continue to be, illiquid.
If we and our Advisor are unable to find suitable investments, then we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives or pay distributions.
Our initial public offering of common stock (the "IPO"), which commenced on April 20, 2012, is a blind pool offering and you may not have the opportunity to evaluate our investments before you make your purchase of our common stock, thus making your investment more speculative.
If we raise substantially less than the maximum offering in our IPO, we may not be able to invest in a diversified portfolio of real estate assets and the value of an investment in us may vary more widely with the performance of specific assets.
We may be unable to pay or maintain cash distributions or increase distributions over time.
We are obligated to pay substantial fees to our Advisor and its affiliates.
We will depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants.
Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

23

Table of Contents

Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from unlimited amounts of any source. Until substantially all the proceeds from our IPO are invested, we may use proceeds from our IPO and financings to fund distributions until we have sufficient cash flow. There are no established limits on the amounts of net proceeds and borrowings that we may use to fund such distribution payments.
Any of these distributions may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in properties and other permitted investments and negatively impact the value of your investment.
We may not generate cash flows sufficient to pay our distributions to stockholders, as such we may be forced to incur additional debt, borrow at higher rates or depend on our Advisor to waive reimbursement of certain expenses and fees to fund our operations.
We are subject to risks associated with the significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions that have recently occurred in the credit markets of the United States of America and Europe.
We may fail to qualify, or continue to qualify, to be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which would result in higher taxes, may adversely affect operations and would reduce our NAV and cash available for distributions.
We may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
As of September 30, 2013, we only owned nine properties, which exposes us to risks due to a lack of tenant and geographic diversity.
Overview
We were incorporated on July 13, 2011, as a Maryland corporation that intends to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2013. On April 20, 2012, we commenced our IPO on a "reasonable best efforts" basis of up to 150.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a price of $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-177563) (the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement also covers up to 25.0 million shares of common stock pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the "DRIP") under which our common stockholders may elect to have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock.
On October 24, 2012, we received and accepted subscriptions in excess of the minimum offering amount of $2.0 million in shares, broke escrow and issued shares of common stock to initial investors who were admitted as stockholders. As of September 30, 2013, we had 8.8 million shares of stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares and had received total gross proceeds from the IPO of $86.3 million, including shares issued under the DRIP. As of September 30, 2013, the aggregate value of all the common stock outstanding was $87.9 million based on a per share value of $10.00 (or $9.50 for shares issued under the DRIP). Until the filing of our second quarterly financial filing with the SEC, pursuant to the Exchange Act, following our acquisition of at least $1.2 billion in total investment portfolio assets (the "NAV pricing date"), the per share purchase price in the IPO will be up to $10.00 per share (including the maximum allowed to be charged for commissions and fees) and shares issued under the DRIP will be initially equal to $9.50 per share, which is 95% of the initial offering price in the IPO. Thereafter, the per share purchase price will vary quarterly and will be equal to the NAV per share plus applicable commissions and fees, and the per share purchase price of the DRIP will be equal to the NAV per share.
We were formed to primarily acquire a diversified portfolio of commercial properties, with an emphasis on sale-leaseback transactions involving single tenant net-leased commercial properties. Our primary geographic target will be the United States, although up to 40% of our portfolio may consist of properties purchased in Europe and up to an additional 10% may consist of properties purchased elsewhere internationally. All such properties may be acquired and operated by us alone or jointly with another party. We may also originate or acquire first mortgage loans secured by real estate. We purchased our first property and commenced active operations in October 2012. As of September 30, 2013, we owned nine properties consisting of 0.5 million rentable square feet, which were 100% leased, with a remaining lease term of 10.7 years.
Substantially all of our business is conducted through the OP. We are the sole general partner and hold substantially all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP ("OP units"). American Realty Capital Global Special Limited Partner, LLC (the "Special Limited Partner"), an entity wholly owned by AR Capital Global Holdings, LLC (the "Sponsor"), contributed $200 to the OP in exchange for 22 OP units, which represents a nominal percentage of the aggregate OP ownership. A holder of OP units has the right to convert OP units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of common stock or, at the option of the OP, a corresponding number of shares of common stock, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the OP. The remaining rights of the limited partner interests are limited, however, and do not include the ability to replace the general partner or to approve the sale, purchase or refinancing of the OP's assets.

24

Table of Contents

We have no employees. The Advisor is our affiliated advisor, which has been retained to manage our affairs on a day-to-day basis. The properties are managed and leased by American Realty Capital Global Properties, LLC (the "Property Manager"). The Dealer Manager serves as the dealer manager of the IPO. The Advisor, Property Manager and Dealer Manager are affiliates of the Sponsor and Special Limited Partner. These related parties have received or will receive compensation and fees for services related to the IPO and for the investment and management of our assets. These entities receive fees during the offering, acquisition, operational and liquidation stages. The Advisor and Property Manager have entered into a service provider agreement with a third party, Moor Park Capital Partners LLP (the "Service Provider"), pursuant to which the Service Provider has agreed to provide, subject to the Advisor's and Property Manager's oversight, certain real estate related services, as well as sourcing and structuring of investment opportunities, performance of due diligence, and arranging debt financing and equity investment syndicates, solely with respect to our properties in Europe. Pursuant to the service provider agreements, 50% of the fees payable by us to the Advisor and a percentage of the fees paid to the Property Manager will be assigned to the Service Provider, solely with respect to our foreign investment strategy in Europe. Such fees will be deducted from fees paid to the Advisor.
Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. These significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies include:
Offering and Related Costs
Offering and related costs include all expenses incurred in connection with our IPO. Offering costs (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fees) include costs that may be paid by the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates on our behalf. These costs include but are not limited to (i) legal, accounting, printing, mailing, and filing fees; (ii) escrow service related fees; (iii) reimbursement of the Dealer Manager for amounts it may pay to reimburse the bona fide diligence expenses of broker-dealers; and (iv) reimbursement to the Advisor for a portion of the costs of its employees and other costs in connection with preparing supplemental sales materials and related offering activities. We are obligated to reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs paid by them on our behalf, provided that the Advisor is obligated to reimburse us to the extent organization and offering costs (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) incurred by us in our offering exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds in the IPO. As a result, these costs are only our liability to the extent aggregate selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering costs do not exceed 11.5% of the gross proceeds determined at the end of the IPO.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues, which are derived primarily from rental income, include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Since many of our leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires us to record a receivable, and include in revenues unbilled rent receivables that we will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. We defer the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates.
We continually review receivables related to rent and unbilled rent receivables and determine collectability by taking into consideration the tenant's payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of a receivable is in doubt, we record an increase in our allowance for uncollectible accounts or record a direct write-off of the receivable in our consolidated statements of operations.
Investments in Real Estate
Investments in real estate are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements, five years for fixtures and improvements and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

Table of Contents

We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis. We are required to present the operations related to properties that have been sold or properties that are intended to be sold as discontinued operations in the statement of operations at fair value for all periods presented. Properties that are intended to be sold are to be designated as "held for sale" on the balance sheet.
Long-lived assets are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate such an evaluation is warranted or when they are designated as held for sale. Valuation of real estate is considered a "critical accounting estimate" because the evaluation of impairment and the determination of fair values involve a number of management assumptions relating to future economic events that could materially affect the determination of the ultimate value, and therefore, the carrying amounts of our real estate. Additionally, decisions regarding when a property should be classified as held for sale are also highly subjective and require significant management judgment.
Events or changes in circumstances that could cause an evaluation for impairment include the following:
a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset;
a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition;
a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;
an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset; and
a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset.
We review our portfolio on an ongoing basis to evaluate the existence of any of the aforementioned events or changes in circumstances that would require us to test for recoverability. In general, our review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property's use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value expected, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income.
Purchase Price Allocation
We allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as-if vacant basis. We utilize various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Estimates of value are made using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Amounts allocated to land, land improvements, buildings and fixtures are based on cost segregation studies performed by independent third-parties or on our analysis of comparable properties in our portfolio. Identifiable intangible assets include amounts allocated to acquire leases for above- and below-market lease rates, the value of in-place leases, and the value of customer relationships, as applicable.
The aggregate value of intangible assets related to in-place leases is primarily the difference between the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and the property valued as if vacant. Factors considered by us in our analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period for each property, taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at contract rates during the expected lease-up period, which typically ranges from six to 12 months. We also estimate costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.

26

Table of Contents

Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for owned properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and management's estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease intangibles are amortized as a decrease to rental income over the remaining term of the lease.  The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining term and any fixed rate renewal periods provided within the respective leases. In determining the amortization period for below-market lease intangibles, we initially will consider, and periodically evaluate on a quarterly basis, the likelihood that a lessee will execute the renewal option.  The likelihood that a lessee will execute the renewal option is determined by taking into consideration the tenant's payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located.
The aggregate value of intangible assets related to customer relationship is measured based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease and our overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics considered by us in determining these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant's credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.
The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the initial term of the respective leases, which ranges from nine to 14 years. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles is charged to expense.
In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we utilize a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence, as well as subsequent marketing and leasing activities, in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed.
Derivative Instruments
We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings. The principal objective of such agreements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions.
We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.  We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance regarding disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities, which requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with retrospective application for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this guidance, which is related to disclosure only, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents

In July 2012, the FASB issued revised guidance intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendments will allow an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance, which is related to disclosure only, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance clarifying the accounting and disclosure requirements for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount under the arrangement is fixed at the reporting date. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance clarifying the accounting for the release of cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity.  The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Results of Operations
We purchased our first property and commenced our real estate operations in October 2012, and as such our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflect significant increases in most categories.
Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
Rental Income
Rental income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $1.2 million. Rental income was driven by our acquisition of nine properties since October 2012, for an aggregate base purchase price of $83.3 million, as of the respective acquisition dates, which are 100% leased. We did not own any properties and therefore had no rental income for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Operating Expense Reimbursements
Operating expense reimbursements were $11,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Pursuant to many of our lease agreements, tenants are required to pay property operating expenses, in addition to base rent, whereas under certain other lease agreements, the tenants are directly responsible for all operating costs of the respective properties. The operating expense reimbursement primarily reflects insurance expense incurred by us and reimbursed by the tenant. We did not own any properties and therefore had no operating expense reimbursement for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Property Operating Expense
Property operating expense was $14,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. These costs relate to the costs associated with maintaining insurance on our properties, which is incurred by us and is reimbursable by the tenants. We did not own any properties and therefore did not incur any property operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Operating Fees to Affiliate
Our Advisor is entitled to asset management fees in connection with providing asset management services. Effective January 1, 2013, the payment of asset management fees in cash, shares or restricted stock grants, or any combination thereof to the Advisor was eliminated. Instead we will issue (if approved by the board of directors) to the Advisor Class B Units, which will be forfeited unless certain conditions are met. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the board of directors approved the issuance of 4,646 Class B Units to the Advisor. We did not own any properties and therefore had no asset management fees for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Our Property Manager is entitled to fees for the management of our properties. Property management fees are calculated as a percentage of gross revenues. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $18,000 in fees related to services for the management of our properties. The Property Manager elected to waive its portion of the property management fees for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Had these fees not been waived, we would have incurred property management fees of $23,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. We did not own any properties and therefore had no operating fees to affiliates for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Acquisition and Transaction Related Costs
Acquisition and transaction related costs for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $3.3 million were related to the purchase of six properties with an aggregate base purchase price of $62.3 million, as of the respective acquisition dates. We did not own any properties and therefore had no acquisition and transaction related costs for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense of $19,000 and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, primarily included board member compensation, directors and officers liability insurance, taxes on international operations and professional fees. General and administrative expense increased $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013; however this increase was offset by the Advisor's election to absorb $0.4 million of such expense. No such expenses were absorbed by the Advisor for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 related to our acquisition of nine properties since October 2012 with an aggregate base purchase price of $83.3 million, as of the respective acquisition dates. The purchase price of acquired properties is allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets and depreciated or amortized over the estimated useful lives. We did not own any properties and therefore had no depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Interest Expense
Interest expense of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 related to our mortgage notes payable of $31.6 million with an effective interest rate of 4.1%, which was used to fund a portion of our properties purchased. We did not own any properties and therefore had no interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Gains on Foreign Currency
Gains on foreign currency for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $17,000 reflect the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily between the time deposits related to acquisitions were made and the time the related transactions were consummated.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
Rental Income
Rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $1.5 million. Rental income was driven by our acquisition of nine properties since October 2012, for an aggregate base purchase price of $83.3 million, as of the respective acquisition dates, which are 100% leased. We did not own any properties and therefore had no rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Operating Expense Reimbursements
Operating expense reimbursements were $14,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Pursuant to many of our lease agreements, tenants are required to pay property operating expenses, in addition to base rent, whereas under certain other lease agreements, the tenants are directly responsible for all operating costs of the respective properties. The operating expense reimbursement primarily reflects insurance expense incurred by us and reimbursed by the tenant. We did not own any properties and therefore had no operating expense reimbursement for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Property Operating Expense
Property operating expense was $14,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. These costs primarily relate to the costs associated with maintaining insurance on our properties, which is incurred by us and is reimbursable by the tenants. Property operating expense of $4,000 was absorbed by our Advisor during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. We did not own any properties and therefore had no property operating expenses incurred or absorbed for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Operating Fees to Affiliate
Our Advisor is entitled to asset management fees in connection with providing asset management services. Effective January 1, 2013, the payment of asset management fees in cash, shares or restricted stock grants, or any combination thereof to the Advisor was eliminated. Instead we will issue (if approved by the board of directors) to the Advisor Class B Units, which will be forfeited unless certain conditions are met. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the board of directors approved the issuance of 5,218 Class B Units to the Advisor. We did not own any properties and therefore had no asset management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Our Property Manager is entitled to fees for the management of our properties. Property management fees are calculated as a percentage of gross revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $23,000 in fees related to services for the management of our properties.

Acquisition and Transaction Related Costs
Acquisition and transaction related costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $4.6 million were related to the purchase of eight properties with an aggregate base purchase price of $80.7 million, as of the respective acquisition dates. We did not own any properties and therefore had no acquisition and transaction related costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense of $34,000 and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, primarily included board member compensation, directors and officers liability insurance, taxes on international operations and professional fees. General and administrative expense increased $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013; however this increase was offset by the Advisor's election to absorb $0.8 million of such expense. No such expenses were absorbed by the Advisor for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, related to our acquisition of nine properties since October 2012, with an aggregate base purchase price of $83.3 million, as of the respective acquisition dates. The purchase price of acquired properties is allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets and depreciated or amortized over the estimated useful lives. We did not own any properties and therefore had no depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Interest Expense
Interest expense of $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 related to our mortgage notes payable of $31.6 million with an effective interest rate of 4.1%, which was used to fund a portion of our properties purchased. We did not own any properties and therefore had no interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Gains on Foreign Currency
Gains on foreign currency during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $35,000 reflect the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily between the time deposits related to acquisitions were made and the time the related transactions were consummated.
Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was $2.4 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the volume of acquisition activity, the timing of interest payments and the amount of borrowings outstanding during the period, as well as the receipt of scheduled payments. Cash flows used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included $4.6 million of acquisition and transaction related costs. Cash outflows included a net loss adjusted for non-cash items of $3.4 million (net loss of $4.4 million adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible real estate assets, amortization of deferred financing costs and share based compensation of $1.0 million) and an increase in prepaid expenses of $0.7 million primarily related to prepaid professional fees. These cash outflows were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.9 million related to professional fees and interest payable and an increase in deferred rent of $0.9 million.
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $53.6 million, primarily related to our acquisition of eight properties with an aggregate base purchase price of $83.5 million, were was partially funded with mortgage notes payable of $30.4 million. Net cash used in investing activities also includes a deposit of $0.5 million on a potential future acquisition.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $68.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 related to proceeds, net of receivables, from the issuance of common stock of $83.0 million, partially offset by payments related to offering costs of $10.9 million, payments of deferred financing costs of $1.8 million, distributions to stockholders of $0.8 million and net advances from affiliates of $0.6 million.
Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was $0.2 million, primarily due to a net loss of $0.2 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, consisted primarily of proceeds from affiliates of $0.6 million which was partially offset of by payments related to offering costs of $0.4 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are offering and selling to the public in our IPO up to 150.0 million shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share, until the NAV pricing date, at $10.00 per share (including the maximum allowed to be charged for commissions and fees). We are also offering up to 25.0 million shares of our common stock to be issued pursuant to our DRIP under which our stockholders may elect to have distributions reinvested in additional shares. Commencing with the NAV pricing date, the per share purchase price in the IPO will vary quarterly and will be equal to the NAV per share plus applicable commissions and fees, and the per share purchase price in the DRIP will be equal to NAV per share.

In October 2012, we had raised proceeds sufficient to break escrow in connection with our IPO. We received and accepted aggregate subscriptions in excess of the $2.0 million minimum and issued shares of common stock to our initial investors who were simultaneously admitted as stockholders. We expect to continue to raise capital through the sale of our common stock and to utilize the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock and proceeds from secured financings to complete future property acquisitions. We purchased our first property and commenced our real estate operation in October 2012. As of September 30, 2013, we owned nine properties with an aggregate base purchase price of $83.5 million. As of September 30, 2013, we had 8.8 million shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares from total gross proceeds of $86.3 million, including shares issued under the DRIP.
As of September 30, 2013, we had cash of $14.6 million. Our principal demands for cash will be for acquisition costs, including the purchase price of any properties, loans and securities we acquire, improvement costs, the payment of our operating and administrative expenses, continuing debt service obligations and distributions to our stockholders. Management expects that in the future, as our portfolio matures, our properties will cover operating expenses and the payment of our monthly distribution.
Generally, we will fund our acquisitions from the net proceeds of our offering. We intend to acquire our assets with cash and mortgage or other debt, but we also may acquire assets free and clear of permanent mortgage or other indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price for the asset in cash or in units of limited partnership interest in our operating partnership. Other potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from public and private offerings, proceeds from the sale of properties and undistributed funds from operations. On July 25, 2013, we entered into a credit agreement, which allows for total borrowings of up to $50.0 million. The credit facility contains an “accordion feature” to allow us, under certain circumstances, to increase the aggregate borrowings under the credit facility to up to $750.0 million through additional commitments. The initial maturity date of the credit facility is July 25, 2016. The credit facility also contains two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions.
We expect to use debt financing as a source of capital. Under our charter, the maximum amount of our total indebtedness shall not exceed 300% of our total "net assets" (as defined by the North American Securities Administrators Association Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts (the "NASAA REIT Guidelines") as of the date of any borrowing, which is generally expected to be approximately 75% of the cost of our investments; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report following such borrowing along with justification for exceeding such limit. This charter limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets or investments. In addition, it is currently our intention to limit our aggregate borrowings to 45% of the aggregate fair market value of our assets (calculated after the close of our offering and once we have invested substantially all the proceeds of our offering), unless borrowing a greater amount is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report following such borrowing along with justification for borrowing such a greater amount. This limitation, however, will not apply to individual real estate assets or investments. At the date of acquisition of each asset, we anticipate that the cost of investment for such asset will be substantially similar to its fair market value, which will enable us to satisfy our requirements under the NASAA REIT Guidelines. However, subsequent events, including changes in the fair market value of our assets, could result in our exceeding these limits. As of September 30, 2013, we had secured mortgage notes payable of $31.6 million. Our secured debt leverage ratio was 38.0% (total secured debt as a percentage of total real estate investments on the date of acquisition) as of September 30, 2013.
We intend to maintain the following percentage of the overall value of our portfolio in liquid assets that can be liquidated more readily than properties: 5% of our NAV in excess of $1 billion. However, our stockholders should not expect that we will maintain liquid assets at or above these levels. To the extent that we maintain borrowing capacity under a line of credit, such available amount will be included in calculating our liquid assets. The Advisor will consider various factors in determining the amount of liquid assets we should maintain, including but not limited to our receipt of proceeds from sales of additional shares, our cash flow from operations, available borrowing capacity under a line of credit, if any, our receipt of proceeds from any asset sale, and the use of cash to fund repurchases. The board of directors will review the amount and sources of liquid assets on a quarterly basis.
Our board of directors has adopted a share repurchase plan that enables our stockholders to sell their shares to us under limited circumstances. At the time a stockholder requests a repurchase, we may, subject to certain conditions, repurchase the shares presented for repurchase for cash to the extent we have sufficient funds available to fund such purchase. Since the inception of the Company, no shares of common stock have been repurchased or requested to be repurchased.

Acquisitions
Our Advisor evaluates potential acquisitions of real estate and real estate related assets and engages in negotiations with sellers and borrowers on our behalf. Investors should be aware that after a purchase contract is executed that contains specific terms the property will not be purchased until the successful completion of due diligence and negotiation of final binding agreements. During this period, we may decide to temporarily invest any unused proceeds from common stock offerings in certain investments that could yield lower returns than the properties. These lower returns may affect our ability to make distributions.
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations ("FFO"), which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").
We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004 (the "White Paper"). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property and asset impairment writedowns, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT's policy described above.
The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or is requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Additionally, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions which can change over time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indicators exist and if the carrying, or book value, exceeds the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows (including net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and any other ancillary cash flows at a property or group level under GAAP) from such asset. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted future cash flows from a property, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows, are taken into account in determining whether an impairment charge has been incurred. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges.
Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization and impairments, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. However, FFO and modified funds from operations ("MFFO"), as described below, 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. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP FFO and MFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT's definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses for all industries as items that are expensed under GAAP, that are typically accounted for as operating expenses. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. 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 operation. While other start up entities also may experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-listed REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after the acquisition activity ceases. As disclosed in the prospectus for our offering (the "Prospectus"), we will use the proceeds raised in the offering to acquire properties, and intend to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our common stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale or another similar transaction) within three to five years of the completion of the offering. Thus, we will not continuously purchase assets and will have a limited life. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Investment Program Association ("IPA"), an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT having the characteristics described above. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring our properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe it is presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our IPO has been completed and our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance after our IPO and acquisitions are completed with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. Investors are cautioned that MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.
We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA's Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations ("Practice Guideline") issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized. While we are responsible for managing interest rate, hedge and foreign exchange risk, we do retain an outside consultant to review all our hedging agreements. Inasmuch as interest rate hedges are not a fundamental part of our operations, we believe it is appropriate to exclude such gains and losses in calculating MFFO, as such gains and losses are not reflective of ongoing operations.

Table of Contents

Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA's Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition related expenses, amortization of above and below market leases, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments, deferred rent receivables and the adjustments of such items related to non-controlling interests. 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 investors. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which properties are acquired and will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. Therefore, MFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired. MFFO that excludes such costs and expenses would only be comparable to that of non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activities and have similar operating characteristics as us. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities. In addition, we view fair value adjustments of derivatives as items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized. We view both gains and losses from dispositions of assets and fair value adjustments of derivatives as items which are not reflective of ongoing operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. As disclosed elsewhere in the Prospectus, the purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make distributions to investors. Acquisition fees and expenses will not be reimbursed by our Advisor if there are no further proceeds from the sale of shares in our offering, and therefore such fees and expenses will need to be paid from either additional debt, operational earnings or cash flows, net proceeds from the sale of properties or from ancillary cash flows.
Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that our use of MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that reflects certain characteristics that are unique to non-listed REITs, such as their limited life, limited and defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and hence that the use of such measures is useful to investors. For example, acquisitions costs are funded from the proceeds of our IPO and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management's analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.
Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way. Accordingly, comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. 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 of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. FFO and MFFO are not useful measures in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining FFO or MFFO.
Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other 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 another 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.

_________________
(1) In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management's analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our Advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property.
(2) Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.
(3) Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management's analysis of operating performance.
(4) Represents components of net loss primarily resulting from the changes in exchange rates related to the time deposits on acquisitions are made and the related acquisition is consummated. We have excluded these changes in value from our evaluation of our operating performance and MFFO because such adjustments may not be reflective of our ongoing performance.
Distributions
On October 5, 2012, our board of directors authorized, and we declared, a distribution, which is calculated based on stockholders of record each day during the applicable period at a rate of $0.0019452055 per day, based on a price of $10.00 per share of common stock. Our distributions are payable by the 5th day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month.
The amount of distributions payable to our stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for distribution, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, as applicable, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Distribution payments are dependent on the availability of funds. Our board of directors may reduce the amount of distributions paid or suspended distribution payments at any time and therefore distribution payments are not assured. There is no assurance that we will continue to declare distributions at this rate.

Table of Contents

The distributions began to accrue on November 28, 2012, 30 days following our initial property acquisition. The first distribution was paid in December 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, distributions paid to common stockholders were $1.4 million, inclusive of $0.5 million of distributions issued under the DRIP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cash used to pay our distributions was generated from proceeds from common stock and common stock issued under the DRIP.

Loan Obligations
The payment terms of our loan obligations require principal and interest amounts payable monthly with all unpaid principal and interest due at maturity. Our loan agreements stipulate that we comply with specific reporting covenants. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the debt covenants under our loan agreements.
Our Advisor may, with approval from our independent board of directors, seek to borrow short-term capital that, combined with secured mortgage financing, exceeds our targeted leverage ratio. Such short-term borrowings may be obtained from third-parties on a case-by-case basis as acquisition opportunities present themselves simultaneous with our capital raising efforts. We view the use of short-term borrowings as an efficient and accretive means of acquiring real estate in advance of raising equity capital. Accordingly, we can take advantage of buying opportunities as we expand our fund raising activities. As additional equity capital is obtained, these short-term borrowings will be repaid.

Election as a REIT 
We intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, effective for our taxable year ending December 31, 2013. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. We intend to continue to operate in such a manner to qualify for taxation as a REIT, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. If we qualify, and continue to qualify, for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax so long as we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and properties as well as federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

Inflation
We may be adversely impacted by inflation on any leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. In addition, we may be required to pay costs for maintenance and operation of properties which may adversely impact our results of operations due to potential increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with affiliates of our Sponsor, whereby we have paid or may in the future pay certain fees or reimbursements to our Advisor or its affiliates and entities under common ownership with our Advisor in connection with acquisition and financing activities, sales and maintenance of common stock under our offering, transfer agency services, asset and property management services and reimbursement of operating and offering related costs. See Note 10 — Related Party Transactions to our financial statements included in this report for a discussion of the various related party transactions, agreements and fees.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
On July 25, 2013, we entered into a credit agreement, which allows for total borrowings of up to $50.0 million. The credit facility contains an “accordion feature” to allow us under certain circumstances, to increase the aggregate borrowings under the credit facility to up to $750.0 million through additional commitments. The initial maturity date of the credit facility is July 25, 2016. The credit facility also contains two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2013 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 that are material to investors.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives with respect to our long-term debt will be to limit the impact of interest rate changes in earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps and collars in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We would not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We may also be exposed to foreign currency fluctuations as a result of any investments in foreign operations in Europe and elsewhere internationally.
As of September 30, 2013, our debt included a fixed-rate secured mortgage financing, with a carrying value and fair value of $31.6 million. Changes in market interest rates on our fixed-rate debt impact the fair value of the notes, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flow. For instance, if interest rates rise 100 basis points and our fixed rate debt balance remains constant, we expect the fair value of our obligation to decrease, the same way the price of a bond declines as interest rates rise. The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed–rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their September 30, 2013 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by $26,000. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by $26,000.
These amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rate changes on our borrowing costs, and, assuming no other changes in our capital structure. As the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of September 30, 2013, it does not consider exposures or positions arising after that date.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and determined that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
No change occurred in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2013 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.
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our potential risks and uncertainties are presented in the section entitled "Risk Factors", contained in the prospectus as supplemented and included in our Registration Statement (File No. 333-177563), as amended from time to time. There have been no material changes from these risk factors, except for the items described below.
Distributions paid from sources other than our cash flows from operations, particularly from proceeds of our IPO, will result in us having fewer funds available for the acquisition of properties and other real estate-related investments and may dilute your interests in us, which may adversely affect our ability to fund future distributions with cash flows from operations and may adversely affect your overall return.
Distributions paid from sources other than our cash flows from operations, particularly from proceeds of our offering, will result in us having fewer funds available for the acquisition of properties and other real estate-related investments and may dilute your interests in us, which may adversely affect our ability to fund future distributions with cash flows from operations and may adversely affect your overall return.
Our cash flows used in operations were $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we paid distributions of $1.4 million, of which $1.4 million, or 100.0%, was funded from proceeds from the issuance of common stock and proceeds from common stock issued under the DRIP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 cash flow from operations included an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.9 million, as reflected on the statement of cash flows. Accordingly, if these accounts payable and accrued expenses had been paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there would have been $0.9 million less in cash flow from operations available to pay distributions. Additionally, we may in the future pay distributions from sources other than from our cash flows from operations.
Until we acquire additional properties or other real estate-related investments, we may not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to pay distributions. If we are unable to acquire additional properties or other real estate-related investments, it may result in a lower return on your investment than you expect. If we have not generated sufficient cash flows from our operations and other sources, such as from borrowings, the sale of additional securities, advances from our Advisor, and/or our Advisor's deferral, suspension and/or waiver of its fees and expense reimbursements, in order to fund distributions, we may use the proceeds from our IPO. Moreover, our board of directors may change our distribution policy, in its sole discretion, at any time. Distributions made from offering proceeds are a return of capital to stockholders, from which we will have already paid offering expenses in connection with our IPO. We have not established any limit on the amount of proceeds from our IPO that may be used to fund distributions, except that, in accordance with our organizational documents and Maryland law, we may not make distributions that would: (1) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; (2) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus senior liquidation preferences, if any; or (3) jeopardize our ability to qualify as a REIT.
If we fund distributions from the proceeds of our IPO, we will have less funds available for acquiring properties or other real estate-related investments. As a result, the return you realize on your investment may be reduced. Funding distributions from borrowings could restrict the amount we can borrow for investments, which may affect our profitability. Funding distributions with the sale of assets or the proceeds of our IPO may affect our ability to generate cash flows. Funding distributions from the sale of additional securities could dilute your interest in us if we sell shares of our common stock or securities that are convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock to third party investors. Payment of distributions from the mentioned sources could restrict our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, affect our profitability and/or affect the distributions payable to you upon a liquidity event, any or all of which may have an adverse effect on your investment.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds of Registered Securities.
We did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, during the nine months months ended September 30, 2013.

On April 20, 2012, we commenced our IPO on a "reasonable best efforts" basis of up to 150.0 million of common stock, pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-177563) filed with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Registration Statement also covers up to 25.0 million shares of common stock pursuant the DRIP under which common stockholders may elect to have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2013, we have issued $8.8 million shares of our common stock, and received $86.3 million of offering proceeds from the sale of common stock, including shares issued under the DRIP.
The following table reflects the offering costs associated with the issuance of common stock:

As of September 30, 2013, cumulative offering costs included $1.9 million of offering cost reimbursements incurred from the Advisor and Dealer Manager. As of September 30, 2013, we have incurred $12.2 million of total cumulative offering costs in connection with the issuance and distribution of our registered securities. The Advisor has elected to cap cumulative offering costs incurred by us, net of unpaid amounts, to 15% of gross common stock proceeds during the offering period. Cumulative offering costs, net of unpaid amounts, were less than the 15% threshold as of September 30, 2013. Cumulative offering proceeds from the sale of common stock exceeded cumulative offering costs by $74.1 million at September 30, 2013.
We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our IPO to primarily acquire a diversified portfolio of income producing real estate properties, focusing primarily on acquiring freestanding, single-tenant bank branches, convenience stores, office, industrial and retail properties net leased to investment grade and other creditworthy tenants. We may also originate or acquire first mortgage loans secured by real estate. As of September 30, 2013, we have used the net proceeds from our IPO and debt financing to purchase nine properties with an aggregate base purchase price of $83.5 million.
We did not repurchase any of our securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
