NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2015

(unaudited)

 

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the audited consolidated financial statements of Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (which may be referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for the year ended December 31, 2014, which are included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report as certain footnote disclosures contained in such audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted from this Quarterly Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation have been included in this Quarterly Report.

 

(1)    Organization

 

Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. was formed on August 24, 2011 to acquire and manage a portfolio of commercial real estate investments located in the United States. To date, the Company has focused on acquiring retail properties. The Company entered into a Business Management Agreement with IREIT Business Manager & Advisor, Inc. (the “Business Manager”), an affiliate of Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation (the “Sponsor”), to be the Business Manager to the Company. The Company is authorized to sell up to 150,000,000 shares of common stock at $10 each in an initial public “best efforts” offering (the “Offering”) which commenced on October 18, 2012 and to issue 30,000,000 shares at $9.50 each issuable pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (“DRP”).

 

The Company provides the following programs to facilitate future investment in the Company’s shares and to provide limited liquidity for stockholders.

 

The Company provides existing stockholders with the option to purchase additional shares from the Company by automatically reinvesting distributions through the DRP, subject to certain share ownership restrictions. The Company does not pay any selling commissions or the marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance in connection with the DRP. Shares are currently sold at a price of $9.50 per share.

The Company is authorized to purchase shares from stockholders who purchased their shares from the Company or received their shares through a non-cash transfer and who have held their shares for at least one year under the share repurchase program (“SRP”), if requested, if the Company chooses to repurchase them. Subject to funds being available, the Company will limit the number of shares repurchased during any calendar year to 5% of the number of shares outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year. Funding for the SRP will come from proceeds the Company receives from the DRP. In the case of repurchases made upon the death of a stockholder or qualifying disability, as defined in the SRP, the Company is authorized to use any funds to complete the repurchase, and neither the one year holding period, the limit regarding funds available from the DRP nor the 5% limit will apply. The SRP will immediately terminate if the Company’s shares become listed for trading on a national securities exchange. In addition, the Company’s board of directors, in its sole direction, may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the SRP.

 

At June 30, 2015, the Company owned 46 retail properties totaling 4,547,980 square feet. The properties are located in 19 states. At June 30, 2015, the portfolio had a weighted average physical occupancy of 95.4% and economic occupancy of 96.9%. Economic occupancy excludes square footage associated with an earnout component. At the time of acquisition, certain properties have an earnout component to the purchase price, meaning the Company did not pay a portion of the purchase price at closing related to certain vacant spaces, although it may own the entire property. The Company is not obligated to settle this contingent purchase price obligation unless the seller obtains leases for the vacant space within the time limits and parameters set forth in the applicable acquisition agreement.

 

(2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

General

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all wholly owned subsidiaries. Wholly owned subsidiaries generally consist of limited liability companies (“LLCs”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company will consolidate the operations of a joint venture if the Company determines that it is either the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or has substantial influence and control of the entity. The primary beneficiary is the party that has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE. There are significant judgments and estimates involved in determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE or the determination of who has control and influence of the entity. When the Company consolidates an entity, the assets, liabilities and results of operations will be included in its consolidated financial statements.

 

In instances where the Company determines that it is not the primary beneficiary of a VIE or the Company does not control the joint venture but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions, the Company will use the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the operations of a joint venture will not be consolidated with the Company’s operations but instead its share of operations will be reflected as equity in earnings (loss) of an unconsolidated entity on its consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). Additionally, the Company’s net investment in the joint venture will be reflected as investment in unconsolidated entities as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Offering and Organization Costs

 

Costs associated with the Offering are deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the Offering upon the sale of shares. Formation and organizational costs were expensed as incurred.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all demand deposits, money market accounts and all short term investments with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The account balance may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage and, as a result, there could be a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes that the risk will not be significant, as the Company does not anticipate the financial institutions’ non-performance.

Acquisitions

 

Upon acquisition, the Company determines the total purchase price of each property (note 3), which includes the estimated contingent consideration to be paid or received in future periods, if any. The Company allocates the total purchase price of properties based on the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on Level 3 inputs, such as comparable sales values, discount rates, capitalization rates, revenue and expense growth rates and lease-up assumptions, from a third party appraisal or other market sources.

 

Certain of the Company’s properties included earnout components to the purchase price, meaning the Company did not pay a portion of the purchase price of the property at closing, although the Company owns the entire property. The Company is not obligated to settle the contingent portion of the purchase price unless space which was vacant at the time of acquisition is later leased by the seller within the time limits and parameters set forth in the related acquisition agreements. The earnout payments are based on a predetermined formula applied to rental income received. The earnout agreements have a limited obligation period from the date of acquisition, as defined. If at the end of the time period certain space has not been leased, occupied and rent producing, the Company will have no further obligation to pay additional purchase price consideration and will retain ownership of that entire property. Based on its best estimate, the Company has recorded a liability for the potential future earnout payments using estimated fair value at the date of acquisition using Level 3 inputs including market rents ranging from $8.00 to $28.00 per square foot, probability of occupancy ranging from 10% to 100% based on leasing activity and utilizing a discount rate of 8.00% to 9.25%. The Company has recorded this earnout amount as additional purchase price of the related property and as a liability included in deferred investment property acquisition obligations on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The liability increases as the anticipated payment date draws near based on a present value; such increases in the liability are recorded as amortization expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss. The Company records changes in the underlying liability assumptions to acquisition related costs on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss.

 

The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired above market lease value and acquired below market lease value are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease as an adjustment to rental income. For below market lease values, the amortization period includes any renewal periods with fixed rate renewals. Amortization pertaining to the above market lease value of $521,842 and $87,711 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $781,422 and $108,747 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, was recorded as a reduction to rental income. Amortization pertaining to the below market lease value of $742,328 and $71,429 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1,189,170 and $94,729 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 respectively was recorded as an increase to rental income.

The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired in-place lease value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the acquired leases’ weighted average remaining term. The Company incurred amortization expense pertaining to acquired in-place lease intangibles of $3,225,991 and $431,422 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $5,096,958 and $595,228 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

The portion of the purchase price allocated to customer relationship value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the weighted-average remaining lease term. As of June 30, 2015, no amount has been allocated to customer relationship value.

Impairment of Investment Properties

 

The Company assesses the carrying values of its respective long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of the assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. In order to review its assets for recoverability, the Company considers current market conditions, as well as its intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. If the Company’s analysis indicates that the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, the Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the real estate property. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party appraisals, where considered necessary (Level 3 inputs).

 

The Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows based on management’s intent as follows: (i) for real estate properties that the Company intends to hold long-term, including land held for development, properties currently under development and operating buildings, recoverability is assessed based on the estimated future net rental income from operating the property and termination value; and (ii) for real estate properties that the Company intends to sell, including land parcels, properties currently under development and operating buildings, recoverability is assessed based on estimated proceeds from disposition that are estimated based on future net rental income of the property and expected market capitalization rates.

 

The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions that are consistent with our estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan the Company uses to manage its underlying business. However, assumptions and estimates about future cash flows, including comparable sales values, discount rates, capitalization rates, revenue and expense growth rates and lease-up assumptions which impact the discounted cash flow approach to determining value are complex and subjective. Changes in economic and operating conditions and the Company’s ultimate investment intent that occur subsequent to the impairment analysis could impact these assumptions and result in future impairment charges of the real estate properties.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred no impairment charges.

Capitalization and Depreciation

 

Real estate acquisitions are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Improvement and betterment costs are capitalized, and ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

Transactional costs in connection with the acquisition of real estate properties and businesses are expensed as incurred.

 

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. Building and improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 30 years and 5-15 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment and site improvements.

 

Tenant improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the life of the asset or the term of the related lease as a component of depreciation and amortization expense. Leasing fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease as a component of depreciation and amortization expense.

 

Cost capitalization and the estimate of useful lives require judgment and include significant estimates that can and do change.

 

Depreciation expense was $5,315,708 and $1,054,454 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $8,463,134 and $1,553,568 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Deferred Loan Fees

 

Direct financing costs are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term, or anticipated repayment date, of the related agreements as a component of interest expense.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company has estimated fair value using available market information and valuation methodologies the Company believes to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that would be realized upon disposition.

The Company defines fair value based on the price that it believes would be received upon sale of an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which are described below:

 

  Level 1 −   Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.  
         
  Level 2 −   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 −   Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.  

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company commences revenue recognition on its leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of, or controls the physical use of, the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. If the Company is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete. If the Company concludes it is not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded by the Company under the lease are treated as lease incentives which reduce revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these circumstances, the Company begins revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct their own improvements. The Company considers a number of different factors to evaluate whether it or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. The determination of who owns the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, is subject to significant judgment.

Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts and rents receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Due to the impact of the straight-line basis, rental income generally will be greater than the cash collected in the early years and will decrease in the later years of a lease. The Company periodically reviews the collectability of outstanding receivables. Allowances are taken for those balances that the Company deems to be uncollectible, including any amounts relating to straight-line rent receivables.

 

Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate tax and operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. The Company makes certain assumptions and judgments in estimating the reimbursements at the end of each reporting period. The Company does not expect the actual results to materially differ from the estimated reimbursement.

 

The Company records lease termination income if there is a signed termination agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, the tenant is no longer occupying the property and amounts due are considered collectible. Upon early lease termination, the Company provides for gains or losses related to unrecovered intangibles and other assets.

 

As a lessor, the Company defers the recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage rent, until the specified target that triggered the contingent rental income is achieved.

 

REIT Status

 

The Company has qualified and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for federal income tax purposes commencing with the tax year ended December 31, 2013. As a result, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to stockholders. A REIT is subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distributes at least 90% of its taxable income (subject to certain adjustments) to its stockholders. The Company will monitor the business and transactions that may potentially impact its REIT status. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, without the benefit of certain relief provisions, the Company will be subject to federal (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or net worth and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

Derivatives

 

The Company uses derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, primarily to manage exposure to interest rate risks inherent in variable rate debt. The Company may also enter into forward starting swaps or treasury lock agreements to set the effective interest rate on a planned fixed-rate financing. The Company’s interest rate swaps 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. In a forward starting swap or treasury lock agreement that the Company cash settles in anticipation of a fixed rate financing or refinancing, the Company will receive or pay an amount equal to the present value of future cash flow payments based on the difference between the contract rate and market rate on the settlement date. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments under the accounting requirements for derivatives and hedging.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest. The ASU requires that debt issuance costs be deducted from the carrying value of the financial liability and not recorded as separate assets, classified as deferred financing costs. The ASU is effective for public entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued and will be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 with early application permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

(4)    Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

 

The Company is a member of a limited liability company formed as an insurance association captive (the “Insurance Captive”), which is wholly-owned by the Company, Inland Real Estate Corporation, InvenTrust Properties Corp. (formerly known as Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc.) and Retail Properties of America, Inc., and serviced by an affiliate of the Business Manager, Inland Risk and Insurance Management Services, Inc. This entity is considered a variable interest entity as defined in U.S. GAAP and the Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary; however, the Company can exercise significant influence. Therefore, this investment is accounted for utilizing the equity method of accounting. The Company’s risk of loss is limited to its investment and the Company is not required to fund additional capital to the entity. Effective June 30, 2014, Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. withdrew from the Insurance Captive. Although still a member, effective December 1, 2014, Retail Properties of America, Inc. terminated its future participation in the Insurance Captive.

 

The Company entered into an agreement and paid $100,000 in exchange for a membership interest in the Insurance Captive. The Company’s share of net income from its investment is based on the ratio of each member’s premium contribution to the venture. The Company was allocated income (loss) of $(85,216) and $(7,792) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $(104,846) and $(7,461) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

(5)    Operating Leases

 

Minimum lease payments to be received under operating leases, including ground leases, as of June 30, 2015 for the years indicated, assuming no expiring leases are renewed, are as follows:

 

     

Minimum Lease

Payments

 
           
  2015 (remainder of year)   $ 28,698,556  
  2016     54,923,888  
  2017     50,609,426  
  2018     45,367,831  
  2019     37,206,885  
  Thereafter     193,733,902  
  Total   $ 410,540,488  

 

The remaining lease terms range from less than 1 year to 22 years. Most of the revenue from the Company’s properties consists of rents received under long-term operating leases. Some leases require the tenant to pay fixed base rent paid monthly in advance, and to reimburse the Company for the tenant’s pro rata share of certain operating expenses including real estate taxes, special assessments, insurance, utilities, common area maintenance, management fees, and certain building repairs paid by the Company and recoverable under the terms of the lease. Under these leases, the Company pays all expenses and is reimbursed by the tenant for the tenant’s pro rata share of recoverable expenses paid.

Certain other tenants are subject to net leases which provide that the tenant is responsible for fixed base rent as well as all costs and expenses associated with occupancy. Under net leases where all expenses are paid directly by the tenant rather than the landlord, such expenses are not included in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss. Under leases where all expenses are paid by the Company, subject to reimbursement by the tenant, the expenses are included within property operating expenses and reimbursements are included in tenant recovery income on the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

 

The Company entered into interest rate swaps to fix certain of its floating LIBOR based debt under variable rate loans to a fixed rate to manage its risk exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company will generally match the maturity of the underlying variable rate debt with the maturity date on the interest swap. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded interest expense of $(99,241) and $32,217 and $(169,145) and $71,430, respectively, related to interest rate swaps.

(7)    Fair Value Financial Instruments

 

In some instances, certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are required to be measured or disclosed at fair value according to a fair value hierarchy pursuant to relevant accounting literature. This hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the inputs used to determine fair values, which are then classified and disclosed in one of three categories. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which are described within note 2.

Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their classifications within the fair value hierarchy levels.

 

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, quantitative disclosure of the fair value for each major category of assets and liabilities is presented below:

Derivative interest rate instruments   $   $ (2,260,972)   $
  Total liabilities   $   $ (2,260,972)   $

 

The fair value of derivative instruments was estimated based on data observed in the forward yield curve which is widely observed in the marketplace. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements which utilizes Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads. The Company has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative and therefore has classified this in Level 2 of the hierarchy.

 

(8)    Income Tax

 

The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Company expects no significant increases or decreases in uncertain tax positions due to changes in tax positions within one year of June 30, 2015. The Company has no interest or penalties relating to income taxes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. As of June 30, 2015, returns for the calendar years 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 remain subject to examination by U.S. and various state and local tax jurisdictions.

The Company currently pays distributions based on daily record dates, payable in arrears the following month. The distributions that the Company currently pays are equal to a daily amount of $0.001643836, per share based upon a 365-day period. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company paid distributions of $9,282,460 and 1,772,653, respectively, and declared distributions totaling $9,893,259 and $2,001,051, respectively.

(10)    Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the “common shares”). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the common shares plus potential common shares issuable upon exercising options or other contracts. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

 

(11)    Commitments and Contingencies

 

The acquisition of certain of the Company’s properties included an earnout component to the purchase price. The maximum potential earnout payment was $3,057,964 at June 30, 2015.

 

The table below presents the change in the Company’s earnout liability for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

The Company may be subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

(12)    Segment Reporting

 

The Company has one reportable segment, retail real estate, as defined by U.S. GAAP for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable currently exists due to the small number of tenants currently comprising the Company's rental revenue. The concentration of revenues for these tenants increases the Company's risk associated with nonpayment by these tenants. In an effort to reduce risk, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its larger tenants.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, approximately 6.4% of the Company’s rental revenue was generated by three locations leased to Roundy’s Supermarkets, Inc.

 

(13)    Transactions with Related Parties

 

The Company is party to an agreement with an LLC formed as an insurance association captive which is wholly-owned by the Company, Inland Real Estate Corporation, InvenTrust Properties Corp. and Retail Properties of America, Inc. The entity is included in the Company’s disclosure of Investment in Unconsolidated Entity (note 4) and is included in investment in unconsolidated entity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company owns 1,000 shares of common stock in The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc. with a recorded value of $1,000 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. This amount is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “variables,” “potential,” “continue,” “expand,” “maintain,” “create,” “strategies,” “likely,” “will,” “would” and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but reflect the intent, belief or current expectations of the management of Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (which we refer to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) based on their knowledge and understanding of the business and industry, the economy and other future conditions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we caution stockholders not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including but not limited to the factors listed and described under “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2015, and factors described below:

 

  •     We may not be able to raise capital sufficient to achieve our investment objectives;
  •     We have a limited operating history and the prior performance of programs sponsored by Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation (our “Sponsor”) should not be used to predict our future results;
  •     Market disruptions may adversely impact many aspects of our operating results and operating condition;
    We may suffer from delays in selecting, acquiring and developing suitable assets;
    To date, we have not generated sufficient cash flow from operations to pay distributions, and, therefore, we have paid, and may continue to pay, distributions from the net proceeds of our “best efforts” offering, which will reduce the amount of cash available to be invested in assets, negatively impact the value of our stockholders’ investment and be dilutive to our stockholders;
    We have incurred net losses on a U.S. GAAP basis for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and there is no assurance that we will become profitable or generate positive cash flow from operations;
    There is no established public trading market for our shares, our stockholders may not be able to sell their shares under our share repurchase program and, if our stockholders are able to sell their shares under the program, or otherwise, they may not be able to recover the amount of their investment in our shares;
    Our charter generally allows us to borrow up to 300% of our net assets, equivalent to 75% of the costs of our assets;
    Our Sponsor may face a conflict of interest in allocating personnel and resources between its affiliates and our Business Manager and our Real Estate Managers;
    We do not have arm’s-length agreements with our Business Manager, our Real Estate Managers or any other affiliates of our Sponsor;

  We pay significant fees to our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and other affiliates of our Sponsor;
    Our Business Manager and its affiliates will face conflicts of interest caused by their compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in the long-term best interests of our stockholders;

 36

 (table of contents)

 

  •     Our properties may compete with the properties owned by other programs sponsored by our Sponsor or Inland Private Capital Corporation for, among other things, tenants;
    Our Business Manager is under no obligation, and may not agree, to forgo or defer its business management fee or any acquisition fee; and
    If we fail to continue to qualify as a REIT, our operations and distributions to stockholders will be adversely affected.

 

Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect our management’s view only as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. 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. We intend for these forward-looking statements to be covered by the applicable safe harbor provisions created by Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

 

The following discussion and analysis relates to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. You should read the following discussion and analysis along with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this report.

 

Overview

 

We are an externally managed Maryland corporation formed in August 2011 to acquire a portfolio of commercial real estate located throughout the United States. We are managed by our business manager, IREIT Business Manager & Advisor, Inc., referred to herein as our “Business Manager.” While we may acquire retail properties, office buildings, multi-family properties and industrial/distribution and warehouse facilities, within these property types, we focus primarily on “core” real estate assets. To date, we have focused on acquiring retail properties. We will continue to focus on retail properties unless and until the returns from other properties exceed those that we believe are available from investing in retail.

 

Core real estate assets are those assets that typically satisfy some, but not necessarily all, of the following criteria:

 

  ▪     properties located within major regional markets or accelerating secondary markets;
       
    properties with above-market occupancy rates, with leases that provide for market rental rates and that have staggered maturity dates; and
       
    properties that have anchor tenants with strong credit ratings.

 

 37

 (table of contents)

 

Core real estate assets also typically generate predictable, steady cash flow and have a lower risk profile than non-core real estate assets. We have purchased single-tenant, net-leased retail properties and may continue to purchase single-tenant, net-leased properties within any of the four property types listed above.  We may purchase existing or newly-constructed properties as well as properties that are under development or construction, including those where development has not commenced. In addition, in all cases, we may acquire properties directly, by purchasing the property, also known as a “fee interest,” or through joint ventures, including joint ventures in which we do not own a controlling interest. We also may invest in real estate-related equity securities of both publicly traded and private real estate companies, as well as commercial mortgage-backed securities.

 

On October 18, 2012 we commenced our initial public offering, referred to herein as the “Offering.” We are offering 150,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $10.00 per share on a “best efforts” basis through Inland Securities Corporation, or “Inland Securities,” our dealer manager, a wholly owned subsidiary of our Sponsor. “Best efforts” means that Inland Securities is not obligated to purchase any specific number or dollar amount of shares. We also are currently offering up to 30,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.50 per share to stockholders who elect to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan (“DRP”). In each case, the offering price was determined by our board of directors. We qualified and elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with the tax year ended December 31, 2013 for federal income tax purposes.

 

At June 30, 2015, we owned 46 retail properties, totaling approximately 4.5 million square feet. At June 30, 2015, our portfolio had weighted average physical and economic occupancy of 95.4% and 96.9%, respectively. Economic occupancy excludes square footage associated with an earnout component. At the time of acquisition, some properties were subject to an earnout component to the purchase price, meaning we did not pay a portion of the purchase price at closing related to certain vacant spaces, although we own the entire property. We are not obligated to pay this contingent purchase price unless the seller obtains leases for the vacant space within the time limits and parameters set forth in the acquisition agreement. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, annualized base rent per square foot averaged $17.56 and $17.75, respectively, for all properties owned. Annualized base rent is calculated by annualizing the current, in-place monthly base rent for leases, including any tenant concessions, such as rent abatement or allowances, which may have been granted and excluding ground lease square footage.

 

Market Outlook

 

At the July 2015, Federal Open Market Committee meeting of the Federal Reserve Board (“Federal Reserve”), the Federal Reserve “reaffirmed its view that the current zero to ¼ percent target range for the federal funds rate remains appropriate.” The Federal Reserve noted continued improvements in the labor markets and noted that inflation has continued to decline below its longer-run objective of two percent. It also suggested “that, with appropriate policy accommodation, economic activity will expand at a moderate pace.” The Federal Reserve indicated that the inflation rate is expected to remain at its current level in the near term and expect it to gradually rise.

 

The Federal Reserve has not provided any clear indication as to when it will raise the federal funds rate and it maintained its previous position on the timing of any potential increase. It noted it would be appropriate to raise the federal funds rate when there are further improvements in the labor market and are confident inflation will move to its objective of two percent. However, the Federal Reserve noted it will continue to assess progress as it advances to its objective of “maximum employment and two percent inflation.”

 

Real estate pricing is generally influenced by, among other things, market interest rates. However, the movements are not simultaneous and pricing generally lags behind interest rate adjustments for a period of time. Since part of our business strategy is to utilize debt to finance a portion of our real estate assets, we may be challenged in finding appropriately priced real estate in the event of a rapidly rising interest rate environment.

 38

 (table of contents)

 

Today’s economic environment continues to be characterized by historically low interest rates which has contributed to decreased capitalization rates for commercial properties. Although the economic recovery has been mild, we continue to believe the economy is moving from recovery status toward an expansionary cycle. Industry trends are also favorable. According to an article published in the Wall Street Journal on July 6, 2015, average vacancy at U.S. strip centers held steady in the second quarter of 2015 at 10.1%, unchanged from the first quarter of 2015, and average rents inched slightly higher by 0.5%, the measure’s 15th consecutive gain. These statistics continue to emphasize the negotiating power of a landlord. The Wall Street Journal article also noted the lack of new retail real estate development is keeping competition for tenants to a minimum (Wall Street Journal. July 6, 2015). While tenants had pricing power over property owners, we believe we have reached an inflection point where that pricing power related to tenant leases will return to the property owner due to supply and demand considerations.

Our management team continues to believe that we can produce better risk adjusted returns by investing in multi-tenant necessity-based retail shopping centers than other types of commercial real estate. Multi-tenant retail assets tend to be relatively stable, yet they allow for growth opportunities in a recovering market. A needs-based shopping center is usually anchored by a supermarket that draws patrons to the property along with a number of supporting tenants in smaller shop space. The anchor generally has a long-term lease providing stable cash flow to the property. All of the properties purchased during 2015 were multi-tenant retail properties.

Our general experience tells us that a period of economic expansion can translate into rising rental rates and consequently, increases in the net operating income (“NOI”) of a property, particularly at multi-tenant retail properties due to a higher instance of lease roll-over as the smaller tenants typically have shorter leases (usually between 3-5 years). In comparison to properties with longer leases, this provides significantly more opportunities to capture increases in rental rates and NOI at a rate above inflation. By capturing NOI growth rates above inflation, real value is added to a property. As of June 30, 2015, we own 13 single-tenant properties and 33 multi-tenant properties with average lease expirations of 14 years and 8 years, respectively.

 

In addition we believe that:

  · Multi-tenant necessity-based retail real estate is generally recession resilient and has historically outperformed other asset classes.
  · Grocery-anchored shopping centers tend to be resilient to internet sales and can weather changes in consumer sentiment.
  · If we begin to experience inflation, multi-tenant retail real estate can act as a hedge because of the expected ability to increase rents at a pace that keeps up with inflation.

 

Although retail was slower than other property types to rebound from the recession, we believe the delayed recovery provides us with an ideal opportunity to acquire properties at attractive capitalization or “cap” rates.

Although our investment mandate allows us to acquire single tenant properties along with any core property in the four types of commercial real estate described in our prospectus, given what we believe is a compelling case as outlined above, our focus has been and will primarily continue to be on the acquisition of grocery-anchored shopping centers falling generally into the category of neighborhood retail centers.

We may also evaluate power, regional and super-regional centers along with lifestyle centers. Neighborhood centers ranging in size from 30,000 to 150,000 square feet typically feature retailers that provide need-based items and are usually anchored by grocery stores, drug stores, discount department stores, apparel stores and electronics stores. We believe neighborhood centers generally produce stable cash flows from tenants who typically experience relatively consistent demand for their goods and services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

 

Our principal demand for funds is to acquire real estate assets, to pay operating and offering expenses, to pay interest on our outstanding indebtedness, to pay distributions to our stockholders and to fund our Share Repurchase Program (“SRP”).  We generally seek to fund our cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions and offering costs from operations. Our cash needs for acquisitions are funded primarily from the sale of our shares, including those offered for sale through our DRP, as well as financing obtained concurrent with an acquisition or in the future. There may be a delay between the sale of our shares and our purchase of assets, which could result in a delay in generating returns, if any, from our investment operations. Our Business Manager and Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc. evaluate potential acquisitions and engage in negotiations with sellers and lenders on our behalf. Pending investment in real estate assets, we may decide to invest proceeds from the Offering in certain investments that could yield lower returns than those earned on real estate assets.

 

Potential future sources of liquidity include proceeds from the Offering and DRP, proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders and proceeds from the sale of assets.  If necessary, we may use financings or other sources of liquidity (capital) in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures.

 

We continue to work on establishing a credit facility (line of credit) with a major financial institution and are in the process of finalizing all of the documentation needed to close this agreement.  We expect to close on this line of credit in the very near future. Although we may enter into a credit facility agreement, our financing strategy will remain consistent with recent acquisitions. Management expects overall debt to be at approximately 50% of the purchase price of the properties, including any proceeds from a credit facility. However, there can be no assurance we will be able to enter into a credit facility agreement with any financial institution on economic terms which would be acceptable to us.

 

From our formation through June 30, 2015, our liquidity needs have primarily been to purchase 46 retail properties, to pay operating, organization and offering costs and to pay distributions. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we funded the purchase of 15 retail properties with mortgage debt of approximately $89.7 million and proceeds from the Offering of $293.5 million.

 

As of June 30, 2015, we had total debt outstanding of approximately $281.9 million, excluding mortgage premiums, net of accumulated amortization, which bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 3.66% per annum, of which approximately $3.0 million is due in 2016, $6.5 million is due in 2017, $15.3 million is due in 2018, $142.6 million is due in 2019 and the remaining amount of approximately $114.5 million is due after 2019. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our borrowings were 34% and 42%, respectively, of the purchase price of our properties.

Results of operations

 

The following discussions are based on our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

These sections describe and compare our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. We generate almost all of our net operating income from property operations. In order to evaluate our overall portfolio, management analyzes the net operating income of properties that we have owned and operated for both periods presented, in their entirety, referred to herein as “same store” properties. By evaluating the property net operating income of our "same store" properties, management is able to monitor the operations of our existing properties for comparable periods to measure the performance of our current portfolio and determine the effects of our new acquisitions on net income.

Total property net operating income. On a “same store” basis, comparing the results of operations of investment properties owned during the three months ended June 30, 2015, with the results of the same investment properties owned during the three months ended June 30, 2014, property net operating income increased $4,899, total property income increased $69,206 and total property operating expenses including real estate tax expense increased $64,307 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

The increase in “same store” total property income is primarily due to scheduled rent increases, an earnout closing mid-2014 and higher total property operating expenses which led to higher tenant recovery income. The increase in total property expenses is primarily due to an increase in real estate tax expense and an increase in repairs and maintenance expense during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

“Non-same store” total property net operating income increased $10,249,023 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is a result of acquiring 30 retail properties after April 1, 2014. On a “non-same store” basis, total property income increased $14,098,284 and total property operating expenses increased $3,849,261 during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of these acquisitions.

 

Other income. Other income increased $564,632 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. This increase is due to the acquisition of investment properties throughout 2014 and 2015, which increased straight-line rental income by $367,376 and amortization of lease intangibles, net by $236,768. The increase is also due to an increase in interest income of $37,912 as a result of increased cash available to invest due to an increase in offering proceeds offset by a decrease of $77,424 in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entity.

 

Other expense. Other expense increased $11,955,265 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization, interest expense, business management fees and acquisition related expenses.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased $7,027,185 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. This increase is due to the acquisition of 30 retail properties after April 1, 2014.

 

Interest expense increased $1,986,699 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is due to the financing of 19 properties after April 1, 2014.

 

Business management fees increased $1,333,702 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Business Manager was entitled to a business management fee in the amount equal to $293,892, which was permanently waived.

 

Acquisition related expenses increased $946,355 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. These expenses include acquisition, dead deal and transaction related costs and relate to both closed and potential transactions. These costs include third party due diligence costs such as appraisals, environmental studies, and legal fees as well as acquisition fees and time and travel expense reimbursements to the Sponsor and its affiliates. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is due to an increase in acquisition activity during 2015.

Total property net operating income. On a “same store” basis, comparing the results of operations of investment properties owned during the six months ended June 30, 2015, with the results of the same investment properties owned during the six months ended June 30, 2014, property net operating income increased $70,871, total property income increased $109,106 and total property operating expenses including real estate tax expense increased $38,235 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

The increase in “same store” total property income is primarily due to scheduled rent increases, an earnout closing mid-2014 and higher total property operating expenses which led to higher tenant recovery income.  The increase in total property expenses is primarily due to an increase in real estate tax expense and an increase in repairs and maintenance expense during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

“Non-same store” total property net operating income increased $17,189,913 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Other income. Other income increased $927,559 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. This increase is due to the acquisition of investment properties throughout 2014 and 2015, which increased straight-line rental income by $516,930 and amortization of lease intangibles, net by $421,766. The increase is also due to an increase in interest income of $86,248 as a result of increased cash available to invest due to an increase in offering proceeds offset by a decrease of $97,385 in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entity.

 

Other expense. Other expense increased $19,383,511 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization, interest expense, business management fees and acquisition related expenses.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased $11,391,862 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. This increase is due to the acquisition of 32 retail properties after January 1, 2014.

 

Interest expense increased $3,132,611 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is due to the financing of 20 properties after January 1, 2014.

These expenses include acquisition, dead deal and transaction related costs and relate to both closed and potential transactions. These costs include third party due diligence costs such as appraisals, environmental studies, and legal fees as well as acquisition fees and time and travel expense reimbursements to the Sponsor and its affiliates. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is due to an increase in acquisition activity during 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies

Disclosures discussing all critical accounting policies are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2015, under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies.”

 

Share Repurchase Program

 

The SRP is designed to provide existing stockholders with limited interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to us subject to certain restrictions, as defined in the SRP. The prices at which shares may be sold back to us as Ordinary Repurchases, as defined in the SRP, are as follows:

 

▪     92.5% of the share price for stockholders who have owned their shares continuously for at least one year but less than two years;
     
  95% of the share price for stockholders who have owned their shares continuously for at least two years but less than three years;
     
  97.5% of the share price for stockholders who have owned their shares continuously for at least three years but less than four years; and
     
  100% of the share price for stockholders who have owned their shares for at least four years.

 

We are authorized to fund any repurchases by using only the proceeds generated from sales of shares under our DRP and we will limit the number of Ordinary Repurchases, as defined in the SRP, during any calendar year to 5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year. During any offering period, the repurchase price will be equal to or below the price of the shares specified in the Offering.

 

In the case of an Exceptional Repurchase, as defined in the SRP, upon the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder, the price at which shares may be repurchased under the plan is equal to 100% of the share price. Exceptional Repurchases are not subject to a one-year holding period, or the 5% repurchase limit discussed above, and may be repurchased with funds from any source.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP assumes the value of real estate assets is reduced over time. Because real estate values may rise and fall with market conditions, operating results from real estate companies that use U.S. GAAP accounting may not present a complete view of their performance. We use Funds from Operations, or FFO, a widely accepted metric to evaluate our performance. FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to other REITs. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities in which the REIT holds an interest. In addition, NAREIT has further clarified the FFO definition to add-back impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate or of investments in unconsolidated entities that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate. We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO.

 

Under U.S. GAAP, acquisition related costs are treated as operating expenses reducing our income. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically engage in a significant amount of acquisition activity in the early years of their operations, and thus incur significant acquisition related costs, during these initial years. Although other start up entities may engage in significant acquisition activity during their initial years, REITs such as us that are not listed on an exchange are unique in that they typically have a limited timeframe during which they acquire a significant number of properties and thus incur significant acquisition related costs. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Investment Program Association, or “IPA,” an industry trade group, published a standardized measure known as Modified Funds from Operations, or “MFFO”, which the IPA has promulgated as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which may be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT.

 

MFFO excludes costs associated with investing activities, some of which are acquisition related costs that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, and other non-operating items that are included in FFO. By excluding acquisition related costs, the use of MFFO provides another measure of our operating performance. Because MFFO may be a recognized measure of operating performance within the non-listed REIT industry, MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it may be useful in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs. Like FFO, MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under U.S. GAAP, as detailed in the table below, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we continue to acquire a significant amount of properties. MFFO should only be used as a measurement of our operating performance while we are acquiring a significant amount of properties because it excludes, among other things, acquisition costs incurred during the periods in which properties were acquired.

 48

 (table of contents)

 

We believe our definition of MFFO, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is consistent with the IPA's Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the “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 U.S. GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above and below market lease assets and liabilities, accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring 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.

 

Our presentation of FFO and MFFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. We believe that the use of FFO and MFFO provides a more complete understanding of our operating 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. Neither FFO nor MFFO is intended to be an alternative to “net income” nor to “cash flows from operating activities” as determined by U.S. GAAP as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions. Management uses FFO and MFFO to compare our operating performance to that of other REITs and to assess our operating performance.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we paid distributions of $19,032,514 and $2,849,972, respectively, and declared distributions of $20,445,766 and $3,288,712, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, our FFO was $9,492,298 and $(704,396) respectively, our MFFO was $13,174,918 and $2,652,498, respectively, and our cash flow from operations was $14,391,219 and $2,221,609, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, our Sponsor contributed $3,283,093 to us. For U.S. GAAP purposes, these monies have been treated as a contribution to capital from our Sponsor, although our Sponsor has not received, and will not receive, any additional shares of our common stock for this contribution.

 

Our FFO and MFFO for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is calculated as follows:

 

      Six months ended June 30,
      2015  2014

Subsequent Events

 

Our board of directors declared distributions payable to stockholders of record each day beginning on the close of business on July 1, 2015 through the close of business on September 30, 2015. Distributions were declared in a daily amount equal to $0.001643836 per share, based upon a 365-day period, which equates to $0.60 or a 6% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Distributions were paid monthly in arrears, as follows:

 

•      In July 2015, total distributions declared for the month of June 2015 were paid in the amount equal to $3,438,657, including $1,837,200 which was reinvested through our DRP, resulting in the issuance of an additional 193,389 shares of common stock.
     
  In August 2015, total distributions declared for the month of July 2015 were paid in the amount equal to $3,718,218, including $1,989,965 which was reinvested through our DRP, resulting in the issuance of an additional 209,470 shares of common stock.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Market Risk

 

We are exposed to various market risks, including those caused by changes in interest rates and commodity prices. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and commodity prices. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have entered into, and may continue to enter into, financial instruments to manage and reduce the impact of changes in interest rates. We may also enter into financial instruments to manage and reduce the impact of changes in commodity prices. The counterparties are expected to be major financial institutions.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to purchase properties or other real estate assets and fund capital expenditures. We currently have exposure to financial market risks as approximately 18% of our long-term debt has a variable rate of interest as of June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, we had outstanding debt, which is subject to fixed interest rates and variable rates, of $281,901,759 bearing interest rates in the range of 1.94% to 5.95% per annum and a weighted average interest rate of 3.66%, which includes the effect of interest rate swaps.

 

If interest rates on all debt which bears interest at variable rates as of June 30, 2015 permanently increased by 1% (100 basis points), the increase in interest expense on all debt would decrease earnings and cash flows by approximately $497,337 annually. If interest rates on all debt which bears interest at variable rates as of June 30, 2015 permanently decreased by 1% (100 basis points), the decrease in interest expense would increase earnings and cash flows by the same amount.

 

We use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets. Derivative instruments may include interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, options or repurchase agreements. Our actual hedging decisions are determined in light of the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge. We have used derivative financial instruments, specifically interest rate swap contracts, to hedge against interest rate fluctuations on variable rate debt, which exposes us to both credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us because the counterparty may not perform. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. We seek to manage the market risk associated with interest-rate contracts by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. There is no assurance we will be successful.

 

With regard to variable rate financing, our Business Manager assesses our interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Our Business Manager maintains risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both of our outstanding or forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

 

Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f)) during the six months ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

 

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

 

We are not a party to, and none of our properties are subject to, any material pending legal proceedings.

 

 

Item 1A.   Risk Factors

 

The following risk factors supplement the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

We have incurred net losses on a U.S. GAAP basis for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015.

 

We have incurred a net loss on a U.S. GAAP basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 of $3,499,961 and $4,122,577, respectively. Our losses can be attributed, in part, to acquisition related expenses and depreciation and amortization. We may incur net losses in the future, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, operations, cash flow, and our ability to service our indebtedness and pay distributions to our stockholders. We are subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any business, including the risk that the value of a stockholder’s investment could decline substantially. We were formed in August 2011 and, as of June 30, 2015, had acquired 46 retail properties. We cannot assure you that, in the future, we will be profitable or that we will realize growth in the value of our assets.

 

The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and invest in real estate assets.

 

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or “FDIC,” generally only insures limited amounts per depositor per insured bank. The FDIC insures up to $250,000 per depositor per insured bank account. At June 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents exceeding these federally insured levels. If the banking institutions in which we have deposited funds ultimately fail, we may lose our deposits over the federally insured levels. The loss of our deposits could reduce the amount of cash we have available to distribute or invest.

 

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

 

We have borrowed money, which bears interest at variable rates, and therefore are exposed to increases in costs in a rising interest rate environment. Increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense on any variable rate debt, as well as any debt that must be refinanced at higher interest rates at the time of maturity. Our future earnings and cash flows could be adversely affected due to the increased requirement to service our debt and could reduce the amount we are able to distribute to our stockholders. As of June 30, 2015, we had $49.7 million or 18% of our total debt that bore interest at variable rates with a weighted average interest rate of 2.07%.

 54

 (table of contents)

 

To date, we have not generated sufficient cash flow from operations to pay distributions, and, therefore, we have paid, and may continue to pay, distributions from the net proceeds of our Offering, which reduces the amount of cash we ultimately have to invest in assets, negatively impacting the value of our stockholders’ investment, and is dilutive to our stockholders.

 

We have not yet generated positive cash flow from operations to cover distribution payments and may not do so unless our asset base grows significantly. Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations. Specifically, some or all of our distributions may be paid from retained cash flow, from borrowings and from cash flow from investing activities, including the net proceeds from the sale of our assets, or from the net proceeds of our Offering. Accordingly, until such time as we are generating cash flow from operations sufficient to cover distributions, during the pendency of our Offering, we have and will likely continue to pay distributions from the net proceeds of our Offering. We have not established any limit on the extent to which we may use alternate sources, including borrowings or proceeds of the Offering, to pay distributions. There is no assurance we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to cover distributions. We began declaring distributions to stockholders of record during December 2012. Approximately 30% ($9.3 million) of the distributions paid to stockholders through June 30, 2015, have been paid from the net proceeds of our Offering, which reduces the proceeds available for other purposes. To the extent we pay cash distributions, or a portion thereof, from sources other than cash flow from operations, we will have less capital available to invest in properties and other real estate-related assets, the book value per share may decline, and there will be no assurance that we will be able to sustain distributions at that level. In addition, by using the net proceeds of our Offering to fund distributions, earlier investors may benefit from the investments made with funds raised later in our Offering, while later investors may not benefit from all of the net offering proceeds raised from earlier investors.

 

An estimated value of our shares of common stock may not exceed the price at which we are offering shares under the distribution reinvestment plan.

 

Under rules published by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), registered broker-dealers must disclose a per share estimated value.  Due to uncertainties in the marketplace and other factors which could impact our results of operations and financial condition, the future per share estimated value of our shares may be less than the price at which we are currently offering shares or the price of our shares currently offered through our distribution reinvestment plan.

 

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

 

On October 18, 2012, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-176775), covering a public offering of up to 180,000,000 shares of common stock, was declared effective under the Securities Act. The Offering and the DRP commenced on October 18, 2012 and are ongoing.

 

Pursuant to the Offering, we are offering 150,000,000 shares at a price of $10.00 per share on a “best efforts” basis. We also are offering up to 30,000,000 shares at a purchase price of $9.50 per share to stockholders who elect to participate in our DRP. The maximum aggregate price of the amount registered is $1,785,000,000. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares offered between the Offering and the DRP. The dealer manager of the Offering is Inland Securities Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of our Sponsor.

From the effective date of the Offering through June 30, 2015, we had sold the following securities in the Offering and the DRP for the following aggregate offering prices:

 

  •     70,038,600 shares, equal to $696,972,840 in aggregate gross offering proceeds, in the Offering; and
       
    1,482,879 shares, equal to $14,087,344 in aggregate gross offering proceeds, pursuant to the DRP.

From the effective date of the Offering through June 30, 2015, we have paid the following costs in connection with the issuance and distribution of the registered securities:

 

  Type of Costs   Amount  
  Offering costs paid to related parties (1)   $ 62,382,319  
  Offering costs paid to non-related parties     8,340,064  
  Total offering costs paid   $ 70,722,383  

 

  (1) “Offering costs to related parties” include selling commissions, marketing contributions and due diligence expense reimbursements paid to Inland Securities Corporation, which reallowed all or a portion of these amounts to soliciting dealers.

From the effective date of the Offering through June 30, 2015, the net offering proceeds to us from the Offering and the DRP after deducting the total expenses incurred described above, were approximately $640.3 million. As of June 30, 2015, we had used approximately $522.8 million of these net proceeds to purchase interests in real estate and pay related costs, of which $5.4 million was paid to related parties, approximately $25.2 million for repayment of indebtedness used to purchase interests in real estate, approximately $3.2 million to pay loan origination costs, approximately $9.3 million to pay distributions, $100,000 to fund our investment in the insurance captive, and approximately $1.1 million to fund our operations. The remaining net proceeds were held as cash at June 30, 2015.

 

On August 25, 2011, we issued 20,000 shares of our common stock for $10.00 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $200,000, to our Sponsor in connection with our formation. No sales commission or other consideration was paid in connection with the sale. The sale was consummated without registration under the Securities Act, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act as transactions not involving any public offering.

 

During the period covered by this quarterly report, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.

Share Repurchase Program

 

We are authorized to purchase shares from stockholders who purchased their shares from us or received their shares through a non-cash transfer and who have held their shares for at least one year under the SRP, if requested, if we choose to repurchase them. Subject to funds being available, we will limit the number of shares repurchased during any calendar year to 5% of the number of shares outstanding at December 31st of the previous calendar year. Funding for the SRP will come from proceeds we receive from the DRP. In the case of repurchases made upon the death of a stockholder or qualifying disability, as defined in the SRP, we are authorized to use any funds to complete the repurchase, and neither the one year holding period, the limit regarding funds available from the DRP nor the 5% limit will apply. The SRP will immediately terminate if our shares become listed for trading on a national securities exchange. In addition, our board of directors, in its sole direction, may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the SRP.

 

The table below outlines the shares we repurchased pursuant to our SRP during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
