1.	ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:

GTJ REIT, Inc. (the “Company” or “GTJ REIT”) was incorporated on June 23, 2006 under Maryland General Corporation Law. The Company is focused primarily on the ownership, acquisition, management, and operation of commercial real estate located in the New York tri-state area.

On March 29, 2007, the Company completed a merger transaction with Triboro Coach Corp., Jamaica Central Railways, Inc., and Green Bus Lines, Inc., (together collectively referred to as the “Bus Companies”). The effect of the merger transaction was to complete a reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of the ownership of the Bus Companies into GTJ REIT, with the former shareholders of the Bus Companies becoming stockholders in GTJ REIT. Upon completion of the Reorganization, the Company commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company. At the time, the Bus Companies, including their subsidiaries, owned a total of six rentable properties and one non-rentable property of negligible size.

Effective July 1, 2007, the Company elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and elected December 31^st as its fiscal year end. Under the REIT operating structure, the Company is permitted to deduct the dividends paid to its stockholders when determining its taxable income. Assuming dividends equal or exceed the Company’s net income, the Company generally will not be required to pay Federal corporate income taxes on such income. Accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. In connection with the Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999 (“RMA”), subject to certain limitations, the Company is permitted to participate in activities outside the normal operations of the REIT so long as these activities are conducted in entities which elect to be treated as taxable subsidiaries under the Code.

On January 17, 2013, the Company closed on a transaction with Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio, LLC, in which a limited partnership (the “UPREIT”) owned and controlled by the Company, acquired all outstanding ownership interests of a portfolio consisting of 25 commercial properties (the “Acquired Properties”) located in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, in exchange for 33.29% of the outstanding limited partnership interests in the UPREIT. The Acquired Properties were recorded as a business combination and accordingly the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. As a result of this acquisition the Company currently beneficially owns a 66.71% interest in a total of 32 properties (including the seven previously-owned properties) consisting of over 2.4 million square feet of office and industrial properties on 210 acres of land in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. At June 30, 2013, subject to certain anti-dilutive and other provisions contained in the governing agreements, the limited partnership interests in the UPREIT may be convertible in the aggregate, into approximately 1.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock and approximately 5.0 million shares of preferred stock.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and the UPREIT, as the Company makes all operating and financial decisions for (i.e. exercises control over) the UPREIT. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2013

(Unaudited)

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The Company’s management believes that the disclosures presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In Management’s opinion, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the reported periods have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2012 audited financial statements, as previously filed with the SEC on Form 10-K on April 1, 2013 and other public information.

Certain amounts included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for 2012 have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 financial statement presentation.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. All of these estimates reflect management’s best judgment about current economic and market conditions and their effects based on information available as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. If such conditions persist longer or deteriorate further than expected, it is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates could change, which may result in impairments of certain assets. Significant estimates include the useful lives of long lived assets including property, equipment and intangible assets, impairment of assets, collectibility of receivables, contingencies, and stock-based compensation.

Real Estate:

Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. All costs related to the improvement or replacement of real estate properties are capitalized. Additions, renovations, and improvements that enhance and/or extend the useful life of a property are also capitalized. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance, repairs, and improvements that do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset, are charged to operations as incurred.

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, the fair values of the real estate purchased are allocated to the acquired tangible assets (generally consisting of land, buildings, and building improvements) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (generally consisting of above-market and below-market leases and the origination value of in-place leases) in accordance with GAAP. The Company utilizes methods similar to those used by independent appraisers in estimating the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property “as-if-vacant.” In allocating purchase price to identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, the values of above-market and below-market leases are estimated based on the differences between (i) contractual rentals and the estimated market rents over the applicable lease term discounted back to the date of acquisition utilizing a discount rate adjusted for the credit risk associated with the respective tenants and (ii) the estimated cost of acquiring such leases giving effect to the Company’s history of providing tenant improvements and paying leasing commissions, offset by a vacancy period during which such space would be leased. The aggregate value of in-place leases is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property “as-if-vacant,” determined as set forth above.

Mortgage notes payable assumed in connection with acquisitions are recorded at their fair value using current market interest rates for similar debt at the time of acquisitions. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases. The value of in-place leases is based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during expected lease-up periods, current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. The values of in-place leases are amortized over the remaining term of the respective leases. If a tenant vacates its space prior to its contractual expiration date, any unamortized balance of the related intangible assets or liabilities is recorded as income or expense in the period. The total net impact to rental revenues due to the amortization of above and below market leases was a net decrease of approximately $.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

As of June 30, 2013, approximately $4.1 million and $15.8 million (net of accumulated amortization) relating to above market and in place leases, respectively, are included in acquired lease intangible assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. $9.6 million (net of accumulated amortization) relating to below market leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Depreciation and Amortization:

The Company uses the straight-line method for depreciation and amortization. Properties and property improvements are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 40 years. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated over estimated useful lives that range from 5 to 10 years. Tenant improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining non-cancellable term of the related leases or their useful lives.

Deferred Charges:

Deferred charges consist principally of leasing commissions, which are amortized ratably over the life of the related tenant leases, and financing costs, which are amortized over the terms of the respective debt agreements.

Asset Impairment:

Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. Such cash flow analyses consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. Management is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of its real estate holdings. These assessments could have a direct impact on net income, because an impairment loss is recognized in the period that the assessment is made. Management has determined that there were no indicators of impairment relating to its long-lived assets at June 30, 2013.

Reportable Segments:

As of June 30, 2013, the Company primarily operated in one reportable segment, its Real Estate Operations, which rents Company owned commercial real estate located in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

In 2011, the Board of Directors voted to divest the Company of all non-real estate operations, including its outdoor maintenance, shelter cleaning, electrical contracting, and parking garage businesses. These operations are presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Revenue Recognition:

Rental income includes the base rent that each tenant is required to pay in accordance with the terms of their respective leases reported on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In order for management to determine, in its judgment, that the unbilled rent receivable applicable to each specific property is collectible, management reviews billed and unbilled rent receivables on a quarterly basis and takes into consideration the tenant’s payment history and financial condition. Some of the leases provide for additional contingent rental revenue in the form of percentage rents and increases based on the consumer price index.

Substantially all of the Company’s properties are subject to long-term net leases under which the tenant is typically responsible to pay for their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance, and ordinary maintenance and repairs for the property.

Property operating expense recoveries from tenants of common area maintenance, real estate, and other recoverable costs are recognized in the period that the related expenses are incurred.

Earnings Per Share Information:

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower per share amount. Restricted stock was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share and stock option awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option awards would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash:

Restricted cash represents (i) funds held by the insurance carrier for the purpose of the payment of insured losses and (ii) reserves used to pay real estate taxes, insurance, and tenant improvements. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had restricted cash in the amount of $1.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, which was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Available-for-Sale Securities:

The Company accounts for its marketable debt and equity securities as available-for-sale securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320-10-35. Management determines the appropriate classification of debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.

Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. Interest on securities is included in interest income. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Estimated fair value is determined based on quoted market prices. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in available-for-sale securities, which was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurement:

The Company determines fair value in accordance Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10-05 for financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity.

Assets and liabilities disclosed at fair values are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, which are defined by ASC 820-10-35, are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities. Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment and the Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

Income Taxes:

The Company is organized and conducts its operations to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company is generally not subject to Federal income taxation on the portion of its distributable income that qualifies as REIT taxable income, to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and complies with certain other requirements as defined under the Code.

The Company also participates in certain activities conducted by entities which elected to be treated as taxable subsidiaries under the Code. As such, the Company is subject to federal, state, and local taxes on the income from these activities.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, as required by the provisions of ASC 740-10-30. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

ASC 740-10-65 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-65, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-65 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had determined that no liabilities are required in connection with unrecognized tax positions.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Concentrations of Credit Risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, which from time-to-time exceed the federal depository insurance coverage. Beginning January 1, 2013, all noninterest bearing transaction accounts no longer receive unlimited deposit insurance coverage by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and instead all accounts deposited at an insured depository institution are insured by the FDIC up to the standard maximum deposit insurance amount of $250,000 for each deposit insurance ownership category. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk due to the credit worthiness of the financial institutions.

Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan, which is described below in Note 7. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-30-30, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718-10-35, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is expensed at the grant date (for the portion that vests immediately) or ratably over the respective vesting periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of the statement of operations but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. ASU No. 2013-02 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3.	REAL ESTATE:

8.	EARNINGS PER SHARE:

In accordance with ASC 260-10-45, basic earnings per common share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents and convertible securities then outstanding. There were no common share equivalents for any of the periods presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Fees incurred by the Company to RMF for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were $.1 and $.3, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Paul Cooper is the Chief Executive Officer, a director of the Company, and the son of Jerome Cooper (Chairman of the Board). The Company has a lease agreement with Lighthouse 444 Limited Partnership (“Lighthouse”), the owner of the building at 444 Merrick Road, Lynbrook, NY in which Paul Cooper and Louis Sheinker, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, are general partners. The lease includes approximately 6,712 square feet of office space for a term of five years expiring August 31, 2015 at an annual rent of approximately $233,000. Additionally, Lighthouse Sixty, LP, owner of the building at 60 Hempstead Avenue, West Hempstead, NY, and of which Paul Cooper and Louis Sheinker are general partners, entered into a seven and a half year lease agreement in 2013 for 11,040 square feet of office space at an initial base rent of approximately $223,000, in which the Company conducts operations.

A former officer of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries had previously entered into two lease agreements with the Company which were terminated in 2012. The Company is actively pursuing collection of the amounts (approximately $0.1 million) currently outstanding under the leases.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Legal Matters:

The Company is involved in several lawsuits and other disputes which arose in the ordinary course of business; however, management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Insurance:

The provisions of the Insurance Law of the Cayman Islands require the Company’s captive insurance entity to maintain a minimum net worth of $120,000. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s insurance entity was not in compliance with the minimum net worth requirements. A waiver had been provided due to the Company’s intention to transfer the insurance balances into a liquidating trust and dissolve the Cayman Islands based insurance operations once the transfer is complete. As of June 30, 2013, the Company is in the process of transferring the insurance balances into a liquidating trust.

In June 2013, the Company received an insurance settlement of $1.2 million relating to a fire that had occurred at one of its properties in 2006. The gain is reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Divestiture:

In connection with the completion of the divestiture of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries, the Company may be subject to certain liabilities including union wages and severance. On January 27, 2012, the Company received a notice from Counsel for Local Union No. 3 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers asserting a severance liability of approximately $0.1 million for certain employees terminated in connection with the divestiture of the subsidiary. An arbitration hearing was held on May 2, 2012, in which the arbitrator ruled in favor of the Union in the amount of approximately $0.1 million. The Company paid the amount owed on July 13, 2012. In March 2013, the Company received a second notice regarding union wages and severance for and additional group of employees who were terminated in connection with the divestiture. The Company was not in agreement with the assertion and has retained counsel to contest this matter. The costs associated with these potential liabilities are not currently estimable.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This report contains statements that we believe to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” or “continue,” or similar words or the negative thereof. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report and in any public statements we make could be materially different from actual results. They can be affected by assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Consequently, we cannot guarantee any forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Investors should also understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the potential risks and uncertainties set forth herein and in our Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 as being exhaustive, and new factors may emerge that could affect our business. We assume no obligation, and disclaim any duty, to update the forward-looking statements in this report. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this filing.

Executive Summary:

We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”), engaged in the acquisition, ownership, and management of real properties. We currently own interests in a total of 32 properties consisting of over 2.4 million square feet of office and industrial properties on 210 acres of land in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Additionally, in connection with the Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999 (“RMA”), we are permitted to participate in activities outside the normal operations of the REIT so long as these activities are conducted in entities which elect to be treated as taxable subsidiaries under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), subject to certain limitations.

We continue to seek opportunities to acquire stabilized properties. To the extent it is in the interests of our stockholders, we will seek to invest in a diversified portfolio of real properties within geographic areas that will satisfy our primary investment objectives of providing our stockholders with stable cash flow, preservation of capital and growth of income and principal without taking undue risk. Because a significant factor in the valuation of income-producing property is the potential for future income, we anticipate that the majority of properties that we will acquire will have both the potential for growth in value and provide for cash distributions to stockholders.

Accounting Pronouncements:

See Note 2, “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Report on Form 10-Q for a detailed discussion regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Critical Accounting Policies:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Please refer to the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” for a discussion of our critical accounting policies. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, there were no material changes to these policies. Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Revenue Recognition:

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 840-20-25, which requires that revenue be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. In those instances in which we fund tenant improvements and the improvements are deemed to be owned by us, revenue recognition will commence when the improvements are substantially completed and possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant. When we determine that the tenant allowances are lease incentives, we commence revenue recognition when possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant for tenant work to begin. Our properties are being leased to tenants under operating leases. Minimum rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Property operating expense recoveries from tenants of common area maintenance, real estate, and other recoverable costs are recognized in the period the related expenses are incurred.

Real Estate:

Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. All costs related to the improvement or replacements of real estate properties are capitalized. Additions, renovations and improvements that enhance and/or extend the useful life of a property are also capitalized. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance, repairs and improvements that do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred.

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, the fair value of the real estate purchased is allocated to the acquired tangible assets (generally consisting of land, buildings and building improvements) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (generally consisting of above-market and below-market leases and the origination value of in-place leases) in accordance with GAAP. We utilize methods similar to those used by independent appraisers in estimating the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property “as-if-vacant.” In allocating purchase price to identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, the value of above-market and below-market leases is estimated based on the differences between (i) contractual rentals and the estimated market rents over the applicable lease term discounted back to the date of acquisition utilizing a discount rate adjusted for the credit risk associated with the respective tenants and (ii) the estimated cost of acquiring such leases giving effect to our history of providing tenant improvements and paying leasing commissions, offset by a vacancy period during which such space would be leased. The aggregate value of in-place leases is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property “as-if-vacant,” determined as set forth above.

The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases. The value of in-place leases is based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during expected lease-up periods, current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. The value of in-place leases are amortized over the remaining term of the respective leases. If a tenant vacates its space prior to its contractual expiration date, any unamortized balance of the related intangible assets or liabilities is recorded as income or expense in the period.

Asset Impairment:

Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. Such cash flow analyses consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. Management is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of its real estate properties. These assessments could have a direct impact on net income, because an impairment loss is recognized in the period that the assessment is made. Management has determined that there were no indicators of impairment relating to our long lived assets at June 30, 2013.

Fair Value Measurements:

We determine fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10-05 for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10-05 defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.

Assets and liabilities disclosed at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820-10-35 and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

•

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

•

Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices in markets that are not active for an identical or similar asset or liability, and quoted market prices in active markets for a similar asset or liability.

•

Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. These valuations are based on significant unobservable inputs that require a considerable amount of judgment and assumptions. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment and we evaluate its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

Income Taxes:

We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, we will generally not be subject to Federal income taxation on that portion of our distributable income that qualifies as REIT taxable income, to the extent that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and comply with certain other requirements as defined under the Code.

We also participate in certain activities conducted by entities which elected to be treated as taxable subsidiaries under the Code. As such we are subject to Federal, state and local taxes on the income from these activities.

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, as required by the provisions of ASC 740-10-30. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which we do not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

Stock-Based Compensation:

We have a stock-based compensation plan, which is described in Note 7. We account for stock based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-30-30, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718-10-35, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and the expense is recognized in earnings at the grant date (for the portion that vests immediately) or ratably over the respective vesting periods.

Property Rental Revenues

Property rental revenue increased $7.1 million, or 103%, to $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase is primarily attributable to the additional rental revenue recognized as a result of the acquisition of the 25 properties in the Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio in January 2013.

Tenant Reimbursements

Tenant reimbursements increased $2.3 million, or 983%, to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase is primarily attributable to the additional tenant reimbursements received as a result of the acquisition of the 25 properties in the Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio in January 2013.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $7.3 million, or 144%, to $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase is primarily attributable to additional property operating expenses and depreciation expense as a result of the acquisition of the 25 properties in the Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio in January 2013.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $2.8 million or 216%, to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This increase is primarily attributable to the assumption of property debt associated with the 25 Acquired Properties.

Loss from Discontinued Operations

Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes reflects the disposition and operating results of our discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2013, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6.8 million compared to $3.4 million at December 31, 2012. We fund operating expenditures and other short-term liquidity requirements, including debt service and dividend distributions from operating cash flows. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to fund our short-term liquidity requirements for the next twelve months and to meet our dividend requirements to maintain our REIT status.

Net Cash Flows:

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $75,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and approximately $633,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. For the 2013 period, cash provided by operating activities was primarily related to (i) an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.6 million offset by (ii) a loss from continuing operations of approximately $4.5 million and (iii) decrease in rental income in excess of amount billed of $1.6 million. For the 2012 period, cash provided by operating activities was primarily related to (i) an increase in other liabilities of $0.7 million, offset by (ii) an decrease in other assets of $1.1 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was approximately $(1.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and approximately $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. For the 2013 period, cash used in investing activities primarily related to acquisition of real estate of $1.3 million. For the 2012 period, cash provided by investing activities primarily related to proceeds from the sale of investments of approximately $1.3 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was approximately $5.7 million and $(3.9) million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. For the 2013 period, cash provided by financing activities was primarily related to proceeds from (i) mortgage notes payable of $16.8 million offset by (ii) repayment of our revolving credit facility of $5.0 million (iii) payment of distributions to partners of $2 million (iv) payment of the Company’s quarterly and supplemental dividends of $3.5 million and (v) repurchases of common stock of $.1 million. For the 2012 period, cash used in financing activities was related to the payment of the Company’s quarterly and supplemental dividends.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

We consider Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”), each of which are non-GAAP measures, to be additional measures of an equity REIT’s operating performance. We report FFO in addition to our net (loss) income and net cash provided by operating activities. Management has adopted the definition suggested by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and defines FFO to mean net (loss) income computed in accordance with GAAP; excluding gains or losses from sales of property excluding asset impairments, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures.

Management considers FFO a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance because it primarily excludes the assumption that the value of our real estate assets diminishes predictably over time and industry analysts have accepted it as a performance measure. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of property and depreciation and amortization.

However, FFO:

does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP (which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income); and

•

should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance.

In determining AFFO we do not consider the operations of our taxable REIT subsidiaries (outside maintenance, shelter cleaning, electrical contracting, and parking operations) as part of our real estate operations and therefore exclude the net income or net loss when arriving at AFFO. This is the one difference between our definition of AFFO and the NAREIT definition of FFO, which includes net income or net loss from taxable REIT subsidiaries.

FFO and AFFO as defined by us may not be comparable to similarly titled items reported by other real estate investment trusts due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs. The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss in accordance with GAAP to FFO and AFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands, except for per share data):

Acquisitions, Dispositions, and Investments

On January 17, 2013, the Company closed on a transaction with Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio, LLC effective as of January 1, 2013, in which a limited partnership (the “UPREIT”) owned and controlled by the Company, acquired all outstanding ownership interests of a portfolio consisting of 25 commercial properties located in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, in exchange for 33.29% of the outstanding limited partnership interests in the UPREIT. The acquisition of the properties was recorded as a business combination and accordingly the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. As a result of this acquisition the Company currently beneficially owns a 66.71% interest in a total of 32 properties (including the seven previously-owned properties) consisting of over 2.4 million square feet of office and industrial properties on 210 acres of land in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. At June 30, 2013, subject to certain anti-dilutive and other provisions contained in the governing agreements, the limited partnership interests in the UPREIT may be convertible in the aggregate, into approximately 1.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock and approximately 5.0 million shares of preferred stock.

Cash Payments for Financing

Payment of interest under our Loan Agreements and Loan Assumptions, will consume a portion of our cash flow, reducing net income and the resulting distributions to be made to our stockholders.

Trend in Financial Resources

We expect to receive additional rent payments over time due to scheduled increases in rent set forth in the leases on our real properties. It should be noted, however, that the additional rent payments are expected to result in an approximately equal obligation to make additional distributions to stockholders, and will therefore not result in a material increase in working capital.

Insurance

The provisions of the Insurance Law of the Cayman Islands require our captive insurance entity to maintain a minimum net worth of $120,000. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we were not in compliance with this minimum net worth requirement. A waiver has been provided due to our intention to transfer the insurance balances into a liquidating trust and dissolve our Cayman Islands based insurance operations once the transfer is complete. As of June 30, 2013, we are in the process of transferring the insurance balances into a liquidating trust.

In June 2013, we received an insurance settlement of $1.2 million relating to a fire that had occurred at one of our properties in 2006. The gain is included as a component of other income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Divestiture

In connection with the completion of the divestiture of our taxable REIT subsidiaries, we may be subject to certain liabilities including union wages, benefits and severance. On January 27, 2012, we received a notice from counsel for Local Union No. 3 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers asserting a severance liability of approximately $0.1 million for certain employees terminated in connection with the divestiture of the subsidiary. An arbitration hearing was held May 2, 2012 in which the arbitrator ruled in favor of the Union in the amount of approximately $0.1 million. We paid the amount owed on July 13, 2013. In March 2013, the Company received a second notice regarding union wages and severance for an additional group of employees who were terminated in connection with the divestiture. We were not in agreement with the assertion and have retained counsel to contest this matter. The costs associated with these potential liabilities are not currently estimable.

On February 16, 2012, we received a notice from the Joint Industry Board of the Electrical Industry claiming a pension withdrawal liability in the amount of $1.5 million in connection with the divestiture. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we determined the liability was probable and we elected to pay the obligation in monthly installments of approximately $8,000 over a twenty year term. Through June 30, 2013, we have made 17 installment payments. As of June 30, 2013, the present value of this obligation of approximately $1.4 million is included in other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Inflation

Low to moderate levels of inflation during the past several years have favorably impacted our operations by stabilizing operating expenses and borrowing costs. At the same time, low inflation has had the indirect effect of reducing our ability to increase tenant rents. However, our properties have tenants whose leases include expense reimbursements and other provisions to minimize the effect of inflation.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As part of our electrical contracting operations, we were required in certain cases to put up performance bonds to guarantee completion of services to be performed. In May 2013, we completed the sale of our electrical contracting operations and are currently in the process of obtaining the release of the three performance bonds.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we did not have any variable rate liabilities.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, management, under the direction of our Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. During our review we determined that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15-d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We continue, however, to implement suggestions from our independent accounting consultant on ways to strengthen existing controls.
