Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except data amounts)
March 31, 2015
(unaudited)
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the audited consolidated financial statements of InvenTrust Properties Corp. (the "Company", and formerly known as Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc.) for the year ended December 31, 2014, which are included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K as certain note disclosures contained in such audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted from this Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals, except as otherwise noted) necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these financial statements.
1. Organization
Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc., which on April 16, 2015, changed its name to InvenTrust Properties Corp. (the "Company"), was formed on October 4, 2004 (inception) to acquire and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate, primarily retail, office, industrial, multi-family (both conventional apartments and student housing), and lodging properties, located in the United States. The Company was party to a business management agreement with Inland American Business Manager and Advisor, Inc. (the "Business Manager") pursuant to which it served as the Company's business manager, with responsibility for overseeing and managing its day-to-day operations, under the supervision of the Company's board of directors. The Company was also party to property management agreements with each of its property managers (the "Property Managers").
On March 12, 2014, the Company began the process of becoming fully self-managed by terminating its business management agreement, hiring all of the employees of the Business Manager and acquiring the assets of its Business Manager necessary to perform the functions previously performed by the Business Manager. Similarly, as of March 12, 2014, certain functions performed by the Property Managers, such as property-level accounting, lease administration, leasing, marketing and construction functions, were transitioned to the Company. The self-management transactions were completed on December 31, 2014 when the Company acquired the assets of its property managers and hired substantially all of its employees and the remaining property management functions were transitioned to the Company.
On February 3, 2015, the Company completed the previously announced spin-off (the "Spin-Off") of its lodging subsidiary, Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc. ("Xenia"), through a taxable pro-rata distribution by the Company of 95% of the outstanding common stock of Xenia to holders of record of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on January 20, 2015 (the “Record Date”). Each holder of record of the Company’s common stock received one share of Xenia’s common stock for every eight shares of the Company’s common stock held at the close of business on the Record Date. In lieu of fractional shares, stockholders of the Company received cash. On February 4, 2015, Xenia’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “XHR.” In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into certain agreements that, among other things, provide a framework for the Company’s relationship with Xenia after the Spin-Off, including a Transition Services Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement and an Indemnity Agreement. Following the Spin-Off, the Company no longer has a lodging segment. Therefore, the 46 lodging assets included in the Spin-Off have been classified as discontinued operations as the Spin-Off represents a strategic shift that has had a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. The assets and liabilities of these 46 lodging assets are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014. The operations of these 46 lodging assets have been classified as income from discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated joint venture investments. Wholly owned subsidiaries generally consist of limited liability companies (LLCs) and limited partnerships (LPs). The effects of all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Each property is owned by a separate legal entity which maintains its own books and financial records and each entity's assets are not available to satisfy the liabilities of other affiliated entities, except as otherwise disclosed in "Note 8. Debt".
At March 31, 2015, the Company owned 142 properties, in which the operating activity is reflected in continuing operations on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. At December 31, 2014, the Company owned 188 properties, of which 46 lodging assets were included in the Spin-Off and

classified as assets of discontinued operations. At March 31, 2014, the Company owned 272 properties, and additionally classified ten properties as held for sale.
The breakdown, by segment, of the 142 owned properties at March 31, 2015 is as follows:
Segment | Property Count | Square Feet / Beds | |||
Retail | 108 | 15,477,279 | Square feet | ||
Student Housing | 14 | 7,989 | Beds | ||
Non-core | 20 | 6,409,697 | Square feet |
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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.
Refer to the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, as certain note disclosures contained in such audited financial statements have been omitted from these interim consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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 GAAP when it becomes effective, although it will not affect the accounting for rental related revenues. ASU No. 2014-09 is currently effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim period beginning after December 31, 2016. Early adoption is prohibited. In April 2015, the FASB voted to propose an amendment to the ASU, deferring the effective date one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 for public entities. 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.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation. This update includes amendments that change the requirements for evaluating limited partnerships and similar entities for consolidation. Under the new guidance, limited partnerships and similar entities will be considered variable interest entities ("VIEs") unless a scope exception applies. As such, entities that consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities that are considered to be VIEs will be subject to VIE primary beneficiary disclosure requirements, and entities that do not consolidate a VIE will be subject to the disclosure requirements that apply to variable interest holders other than the primary beneficiary. The new guidance also eliminates three of the six criteria for determining if fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are considered to be variable interest in a VIE and changes the criteria used to determine if variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of a reporting entity require the reporting entity to consolidate the VIE. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements; however, the Company will continue to evaluate the potential impact.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected. Upon adoption, the Company will apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis and adjust the balance sheet of each individual period presented to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2016. The Company is continuing to evaluate this guidance; however, the Company does not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

5. Investment in Partially Owned Entities
Consolidated Entities
During the fourth quarter 2013, the Company entered into two joint ventures to each develop a lodging property. The Company had ownership interests of 75% in each joint venture. These entities were considered VIEs as defined in FASB ASC 810 because the entities did not have enough equity to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company determined it had the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impacted the VIEs' economic performance, as well as the obligation to absorb losses of the VIEs that could have potentially been significant to the VIEs or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could have potentially been significant to the VIEs. As such, the Company had a controlling financial interest and was considered the primary beneficiary of each of these entities. Therefore, these entities were consolidated by the Company and are included as a part of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014. These entities were included in the Spin-Off on February 3, 2015 and are no longer part of the Company.
For the VIEs where the Company was the primary beneficiary, the following are the liabilities of the consolidated VIEs which were not recourse to the Company, and the assets that could only have been used to settle those obligations.
December 31, 2014 | |||
Net investment properties | $ | 39,736 | |
Other assets | 1,318 | ||
Total assets | 41,054 | ||
Mortgages, notes and margins payable | (21,214 | ) | |
Other liabilities | (6,465 | ) | |
Total liabilities | (27,679 | ) | |
Net assets | $ | 13,375 |
Unconsolidated Entities
The entities listed below are owned by the Company and other unaffiliated parties in joint ventures. Net income, distributions and capital transactions for these properties are allocated to the Company and its joint venture partners in accordance with the respective partnership agreements. Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for details of each unconsolidated entity.
These entities are not consolidated by the Company and the equity method of accounting is used to account for these investments. Under the equity method of accounting, the net equity investment of the Company and the Company’s share of net income or loss from the unconsolidated entity are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Entity | Description | Ownership % | Investment at March 31, 2015 | Investment at December 31, 2014 | |||||
IAGM Retail Fund I, LLC | Retail shopping centers | 55% | $ | 105,784 | $ | 109,273 | |||
Cobalt Industrial REIT II (a) | Industrial portfolio | 36% | 7,486 | 7,486 | |||||
15th & Walnut Owner, LLC (b) | Student housing | 62% | 4,653 | 4,740 | |||||
Other Unconsolidated Entities | Various real estate investments | Various | 580 | 704 | |||||
$ | 118,503 | $ | 122,203 |
(a) | On December 18, 2014, Cobalt sold all of its real estate assets, and the Company recognized its share of the gain on the sale of the assets in equity in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2014. The balance of this joint venture at March 31, 2015 reflects the Company's expected return of the joint venture's remaining cash assets. |

(b) | On February 4, 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Gerding Edlen Investors, LLC ("GE") in order to develop, construct and manage a student housing community on the campus of the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon, which was completed later in 2013 and is now fully operational. The joint venture is known as 15th & Walnut Owner, LLC ("Eugene"). The Company contributed $5,200 for an equity stake of 62%. The Company analyzed the joint venture and determined it is a VIE because the entity did not have enough equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company also considered its participating rights under the joint venture agreement and determined that such participating rights also required the agreement of GE, which equates to shared decision making ability, and therefore the Company did not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacted the VIE's economic performance. As such, the Company has significant influence but does not control Eugene. Therefore, the Company does not consolidate this entity and accounts for its investment in the entity under the equity method of accounting. |
On February 21, 2014, the Company purchased its partners' interest in one joint venture, which resulted in the Company obtaining control of the venture. Therefore, as of March 31, 2014, the Company consolidated this entity, recorded the assets and liabilities of the joint venture at fair value, and recorded a gain of $4,481 on the purchase of this investment during the three months ended March 31, 2014. This gain is included as a discontinued operation on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded no impairment in its unconsolidated entities.

6. Transactions with Related Parties
As of January 1, 2015, the Company is no longer a related party to The Inland Group, Inc. (the "Inland Group") as described below.
On March 12, 2014, the Company entered into a series of agreements and amendments to existing agreements with affiliates of the Inland Group pursuant to which the Company began the process of becoming entirely self-managed (collectively, the "Self-Management Transactions"). On March 12, 2014, as part of the Self-Management Transactions, the Company; the Business Manager; Inland American Lodging Advisor, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of the Business Manager ("ILodge"); the Company's property managers, Inland American Industrial Management LLC (“Inland Industrial”), Inland American Office Management LLC (“Inland Office”) and Inland American Retail Management LLC (“Inland Retail”); their parent, Inland American Holdco Management LLC (“Holdco” and collectively with Inland Industrial, Inland Office and Inland Retail, the “Property Managers”); and Eagle I Financial Corp. ("Eagle"), entered into a Master Modification Agreement (the “Master Modification Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed with the Business Manager to terminate the management agreement with the Business Manager, hired all of the Business Manager’s employees and acquired the assets or rights necessary to conduct the functions previously performed for the Company by the Business Manager. The Company also hired certain Property Manager employees and assumed responsibility for performing significant property management activities. The Company assumed certain limited liabilities of the Business Manager and the Property Managers, including accrued liabilities for employee holiday, sick and vacation time for those Business Manager and Property Manager employees who became employees of the Company and liabilities arising after the closing of the Master Modification Agreement under leases and contracts assigned to the Company. The Company did not assume, and the Business Manager is obligated to indemnify the Company against, any liabilities related to the pre-closing operations of the Business Manager. Eagle, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Inland Group, guaranteed the Business Manager’s indemnity and other obligations under the Master Modification Agreement. The Company did not pay an internalization fee or self-management fee in connection with the Master Modification Agreement but reimbursed the Business Manager and Property Managers for specified transaction related expenses and employee payroll costs. The Company entered into a consulting agreement with Inland Group affiliates for a term of three months at $200 per month, which the Company elected not to renew pursuant to its terms.
Concurrently, as part of the Self-Management Transactions, the Company entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement (the "Asset Acquisition Agreement") with the Property Managers and Eagle, pursuant to which the Company agreed to terminate the management agreements with the Property Managers at the end of 2014, hire certain of the remaining Property Manager employees and acquire the assets or rights necessary to conduct the remaining functions performed for the Company by the Property Managers. The Company agreed to assume certain limited liabilities, including accrued liabilities for employee holiday, sick and vacation time for Property Manager employees that became Company employees and liabilities arising after the closing of the Asset Acquisition Agreement under leases and other contracts that the Company assumed in the transaction. The Company did not assume any liabilities related to the pre-closing operations of the Property Managers, and it did not pay an internalization fee or self-management fee in connection with the Asset Acquisition Agreement. The Company consummated the transactions contemplated thereby on December 31, 2014.
Also on March 12, 2014, as part of the Self-Management Transactions, the Company entered into separate Amended and Restated Master Management Agreements (collectively, the “Amended Property Management Agreements”) with each of the Property Managers (excluding Holdco), pursuant to which the Property Managers continued to provide property management services to the Company through December 31, 2014, other than the property-level accounting, lease administration, leasing, marketing and construction functions that the Company began performing pursuant to the Master Modification Agreement. The Company transitioned the remaining property management functions on December 31, 2014. Many of the employees of the Company's former Business Manager and former Property Managers are now directly employed by the Company. The Amended Property Management Agreements terminated on December 31, 2014 pursuant to their terms.

(a) | In connection with the closing of the Master Modification Agreement and termination of the business management agreement on March 12, 2014, the Company reimbursed the Business Manager for compensation and other ordinary course out-of-pocket expenses, which totaled approximately $3,401. In addition, the Company reimbursed the Property Managers approximately $249 for compensation and out-of-pocket expenses incurred between January 1, 2014 and March 12, 2014 for the Property Manager employees the Company hired at closing to approximate the economics as though the Company had hired such employees on January 1, 2014. These costs are reflected in general and administrative reimbursements above. |
In addition, the Company has directly retained affiliates of the Business Manager to provide back-office services that were provided to the Company through the Business Manager prior to the termination of the business management agreement. These service agreements are generally terminable without penalty by either party upon 60 days’ notice. These costs are reflected in general and administrative reimbursements above. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company sent termination notices for agreements with those affiliates of the Business Manager which provided information technology and investor services to the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company sent a termination notice for the agreement with those affiliates of the Business Manager which provided human resource services to the Company. The Business Manager and its related parties are entitled to reimbursement for general and administrative expenses of the Business Manager and its related parties relating to the Company's administration.
Unpaid amounts of $411 as of December 31, 2014 are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.
(b) | The Company paid a related party of the Business Manager to purchase and monitor its investment in marketable securities. The Company terminated this agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2015. |
(c) | As part of the Self-Management Transactions, select Property Management fees charged to the Company were reduced effective January 1, 2014 to reflect, among other things, the hiring of the Property Manager employees and the services that were no longer being performed by the Property Managers. The Amended Property Management Agreements reduced the property management fees charged in respect of most of the Company’s multi-tenant retail properties to 3.50% of gross income generated by the applicable property for the first six months of 2014, and reduced fees charged in respect of the Company’s multi-tenant office properties to 3.50% of gross income generated by the applicable property for the first six months of 2014. The Company also agreed to assume responsibility for the compensation-related expenses of the Property Manager employees hired by the Company effective March 1, 2014. |
Unpaid amounts of $75 as of December 31, 2014 are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

In addition to these fees, the Property Managers received reimbursements of payroll costs for property level employees. The Company reimbursed the Property Managers and other affiliates $2,391 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
(d) | In connection with the closing of the Master Modification Agreement and termination of the business management agreement, the Company paid a business management fee for January 2014, which totaled approximately $3,333. The Company did not pay a business management fee subsequent to January 31, 2014. Pursuant to the letter agreement dated May 4, 2012, the business management fee was reduced for investigation costs exclusive of legal fees incurred in conjunction with the SEC matter. The Master Modification Agreement contained a ninety-day reconciliation of certain payments and reimbursements, including the January 2014 business management fee. The reconciliation was completed during the three months ended June 30, 2014, which resulted in $739 of SEC-related investigation costs and an adjusted January 2014 business management fee expense of $2,594. Pursuant to the March 12, 2014 Self-Management Transactions, the May 4, 2012 letter agreement by the Business Manager has been terminated. |
(e) | The Company pays a related party of the Business Manager 0.2% of the principal amount of each loan placed for the Company. Such costs are capitalized as loan fees and amortized over the respective loan term. |
As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had deposited $377 and $376, respectively, in Inland Bank and Trust, a subsidiary of Inland Bancorp, Inc., an affiliate of The Inland Real Estate Group, Inc.

7. Investment in Marketable Securities
Investment in marketable securities of $283,829 and $154,753 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, consists primarily of preferred and common stock investments in other REITs and certain real estate related bonds which are classified as available-for-sale securities and recorded at fair value. The cost basis net of impairments of available-for-sale securities was $176,074 and $95,480 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company's investment in marketable securities includes a 5% ownership of the outstanding common stock of Xenia. The Company held an investment in Xenia securities reported at its fair value of $128,990 as of March 31, 2015. The cost basis of the Xenia securities held by the Company was $80,748 as of March 31, 2015, which is equal to 5% of the the net equity, at historical cost basis, contributed to Xenia at the time of the Spin-Off.
Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of comprehensive income until realized. The Company has net accumulated other comprehensive income related to its marketable securities portfolio of $107,755 and $59,273, which includes gross unrealized losses of $1,712 and $1,328 related to its marketable securities as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Securities with gross unrealized losses have a related fair value of $9,384 and $11,502 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The unrealized gain on the Xenia securities held by the Company was $48,242 as of March 31, 2015.
The Company’s policy for assessing recoverability of its available-for-sale securities is to record a charge against net earnings when the Company determines that a decline in the fair value of a security drops below the cost basis and believes that decline to be other-than-temporary. Factors in the assessment of other-than-temporary impairment include determining whether (1) the Company has the ability and intent to hold the security until it recovers, and (2) the length of time and degree to which the security’s price has declined. No impairment to available-for-sale securities was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
Dividend income is recognized when earned. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, dividend income of $2,899 and $3,719, respectively, was recognized and is included in interest and dividend income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The Company is negotiating refinancing debt maturing in 2015. It is anticipated that the Company will be able to repay, refinance or extend the debt maturing in 2015, and the Company believes it has adequate sources of funds to meet short term cash needs related to these refinancings. Of the total outstanding debt for all years, approximately $31,859 is recourse to the Company at March 31, 2015.
Some of the mortgage loans require compliance with certain covenants, such as debt coverage service ratios, investment restrictions and distribution limitations. As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all mortgage loan requirements except one loan with a carrying value of $2,608. This loan is not cross collateralized with any other mortgage loans or recourse to the Company. The balance of $2,608 on this loan matures in 2016. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants, with the exception of one hotel which was closed for business during the fourth quarter of 2014 due to earthquake damage.
Line of Credit
On February 3, 2015, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement for a $300,000 unsecured revolving line of credit with KeyBank National Association, JP Morgan Chase Bank National Association and other financial institutions. The accordion feature allows the Company to increase the size of its unsecured line of credit up to $600,000, subject to certain conditions. The unsecured revolving line of credit matures on February 2, 2019 and contains one twelve-month extension option that the Company may exercise upon payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the commitment amount on the maturity date and subject to certain other conditions. The unsecured revolving line of credit bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.40% and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants and default provisions under the credit agreement. The Company had $299,963 available under the revolving line of credit as of March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, the interest rate of the revolving line of credit was 1.40%.
In 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement with KeyBank National Association, JP Morgan Chase Bank National Association and other financial institutions to provide for a senior unsecured credit facility in the aggregate amount of $500,000. The credit facility consisted of a $300,000 senior unsecured revolving line of credit and a total outstanding term loan of $200,000. As of December 31, 2014, the interest rates of the revolving line of credit and unsecured term loan were 1.60% and 1.67%, respectively. Upon closing the credit agreement, the Company borrowed the full amount of the term loan which remained outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and was repaid during the three months ended March 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $300,000 available under the revolving line of credit. This credit agreement was refinanced on February 3, 2015, as described above.

9. Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, the Company defines fair value based on the price that 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 uses 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. |
The Company has estimated the fair value of its financial and non-financial instruments 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.
Recurring Measurements
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:

Level 1
At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of the available-for-sale real estate equity securities have been valued based upon quoted market prices for the same or similar issues when current quoted market prices were available. Unrealized gains or losses on investment are reflected in unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities in comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Level 2
To calculate the fair value of the real estate related bonds and the derivative interest rate instruments, the Company primarily uses quoted prices for similar securities and contracts. For the real estate related bonds, the Company reviews price histories for similar market transactions. For the derivative interest rate instruments, the Company uses inputs based on data that is observed in the forward yield curve which is widely observable in the marketplace. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements which utilizes Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads. However, as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has assessed that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $47,000 and $51,283, respectively.
Level 3
At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no level three recurring fair value measurements.
Non-Recurring Measurements
The following table summarizes activity for the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Company recognized certain impairment charges to reflect the investments at their fair values for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The asset groups that were reflected at fair value through this evaluation are:

Investment Properties
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized no impairment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company identified certain properties which may have a reduction in the expected holding period and reviewed the probability of these assets' dispositions. The Company's estimated fair value relating to the investment properties' impairment analysis was based on a comparison of letters of intent or purchase contracts, broker opinions of value and ten-year discounted cash flow models, which includes contractual inflows and outflows over a specific holding period. The cash flows consist of observable inputs such as contractual revenues and unobservable inputs such as forecasted revenues and expenses. These unobservable inputs are based on market conditions and the Company's expected growth rates. For those properties impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company estimated fair value using letters of intent and purchase contracts.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment of investment properties of $6,841. Certain properties were impaired prior to disposal. There were no related impairment charges for those properties included in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015. There were $2,998 related impairment charges for those properties included in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
The table below represents the fair value of financial instruments presented at carrying values in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgages payable using a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.84% per annum. The fair value estimate of the line of credit approximates the carrying value. The assumptions reflect the terms currently available on similar borrowing terms to borrowers with credit profiles similar to the Company's. The Company has determined that its debt instrument valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

10. Income Taxes
The Company has elected and has operated so as to qualify to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), commencing with the tax year ended December 31, 2005. So long as it qualifies as a REIT, 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 distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (subject to certain adjustments) to its stockholders (the “90% Distribution Requirement”). 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 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. In addition, the Company owns substantially all of the outstanding stock of a subsidiary REIT, MB REIT (Florida), Inc. (“MB REIT”), which the Company consolidates for financial reporting purposes but which is treated as a separate REIT for federal income tax purposes.
The Company has elected to treat certain of its consolidated subsidiaries, and may in the future elect to treat newly formed subsidiaries, as taxable REIT subsidiaries pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. Taxable REIT subsidiaries may participate in non-real estate related activities and/or perform non-customary services for tenants and are subject to federal and state income tax at regular corporate tax rates. The Company's hotels were leased to certain of the Company's taxable REIT subsidiaries. Lease revenue from these taxable REIT subsidiaries and the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries is eliminated in consolidation. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, an income tax expense of $929 and $302, respectively, was included on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

11. Segment Reporting
The Company's current portfolio strategy is to tailor and grow the retail and student housing segments and dispose of the remaining non-core assets. The Company's objective has been, and will continue to be, maximizing stockholder value over the long-term. The non-core segment includes multi-tenant office and triple-net properties. The Company evaluates segment performance primarily based on net operating income. Net operating income of the segments excludes interest expense, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, net income of noncontrolling interest and other investment income from corporate investments. The non-segmented assets primarily include the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, investment in marketable securities, construction in progress, investment in unconsolidated entities and notes receivable.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, approximately 13% of the Company’s retail and non-core rental revenue from continuing operations was generated by three properties leased to AT&T, Inc. As a result of the concentration of revenue generated from these properties, if AT&T, Inc. were to cease paying rent or fulfilling its other monetary obligations, the Company could have significantly reduced rental revenues or higher expenses until the defaults were cured or the properties were leased to a new tenant or tenants. The student housing segment was not considered in this analysis as leases are on a per bed basis, for a year or less, and are immaterial when evaluated individually.

12. Earnings (loss) per Share and Equity Transactions
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. There is an immaterial amount of potentially dilutive common shares.
The basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 861,824,777 and 912,594,434, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The Company completed a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer for the purchase of up to $350,000 in value of shares of common stock (the “Offer”) on April 25, 2014. In accordance with rules promulgated by the SEC, the Company had the option to increase the number of shares accepted for payment in the Offer by up to 2% of the outstanding shares without amending or extending the Offer. To avoid any proration to the stockholders that tendered shares, the Company decided to increase the number of shares accepted for payment in the Offer. On May 1, 2014, the Company accepted for purchase 60,665,233 shares of common stock at a purchase price (without brokerage commissions) of $6.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $394,300, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Offer. The 60,665,233 shares accepted for purchase in the Offer represented approximately 6.61% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock at the time of purchase. Subsequent to the purchase of approved Offer shares, the final number of shares purchased, allowing for corrections, was 60,761,166 for a final aggregate purchase price of $394,900 as of December 31, 2014, excluding fees and expenses related to the Offer.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
In May 2012, the Company disclosed that the SEC is conducting a non-public, formal, fact-finding investigation ("SEC Investigation") to determine whether there have been violations of certain provisions of the federal securities laws regarding the payment of fees to the Company's former Business Manager and Property Managers, transactions with the Company's former affiliates, timing and amount of distributions paid to the Company's investors, determination of property impairments, and any decision regarding whether it might become a self-administered REIT.
The Company subsequently received three related demands (“Derivative Demands”) by stockholders to conduct investigations regarding claims that the Company's officers, board of directors, former Business Manager, and affiliates of the Company's former Business Manager breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with the matters that the Company disclosed were subject to the SEC Investigation.
Upon receiving the first of the Derivative Demands, on October 16, 2012, the full board of directors responded by authorizing the independent directors to investigate the claims contained in the first Derivative Demand, any subsequent stockholder demands, as well as any other matters the independent directors saw fit to investigate. Pursuant to this authority, the independent directors formed a special litigation committee comprised solely of independent directors to review and evaluate the alleged claims and to recommend to the full board of directors whether the maintenance of a derivative proceeding was in the best interests of the Company. The special litigation committee engaged independent legal counsel and experts to assist in the investigation.
On March 21, 2013, counsel for the stockholders who made the first Derivative Demand filed a derivative lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, on behalf of the Company. The court stayed the case - Trumbo v. The Inland Group, Inc. -pending completion of the special litigation committee's investigation.
On December 8, 2014, the special litigation committee completed its investigation and issued its report and recommendation. The special litigation committee concluded that there is no evidence to support the allegations of wrongdoing in the Derivative Demands. Nonetheless, in the course of its investigation, the special litigation committee uncovered facts indicating that certain then-related parties breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by failing to disclose to the independent directors certain facts and circumstances associated with the payment of fees to its former Business Manager and Property Managers. The special litigation committee determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company to maintain a derivative action against its former Business Manager, Property Managers, and Inland American Holdco Management LLC. The special
28

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except data amounts)

(unaudited)
litigation committee found that it was not in the best interests of the Company to pursue claims against any other entities or against any individuals.
On January 20, 2015, the board of directors adopted the report and recommendation of the special litigation committee in full and authorized the Company to file a motion to realign the Company as the party plaintiff in Trumbo v. The Inland Group, Inc., and to take such further actions as are necessary to reject and dismiss claims related to allegations that the board of directors has determined lack merit and to pursue claims against its former Business Manager, Property Managers, and Inland American Holdco Management LLC for breach of fiduciary duties in connection with the failure to disclose facts and circumstances associated with the payment of fees to related parties.
On March 2, 2015, counsel for the stockholders who made the second Derivative Demand filed a derivative lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, on behalf of the Company. The court entered an order consolidating the action with the Trumbo case on March 26, 2015.
On March 24, 2015, the Staff of the SEC informed the Company that it had concluded its investigation and that, based on the information received to date, it did not intend to recommend any enforcement action against the Company.
In connection with the Spin-Off of Xenia from the Company, the Company entered into an Indemnity Agreement with Xenia on August 8, 2014, as amended. Pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement, the Company agreed, to the fullest extent allowed by law or government regulation, to absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Xenia and its subsidiaries, directors, officers, agents, representatives and employees (in each case, in such person’s respective capacity as such) and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns from and against all against losses, including but not limited to “actions” (as defined in the Indemnity Agreement), arising from: the SEC Investigation; the Derivative Demands; the Trumbo action; and the investigation by the special litigation committee of the board of directors of the Company, in each case, regardless of when or where the loss took place, or whether any such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening is known or unknown, and regardless of whether such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening giving rise to the loss existed prior to, on or after Xenia’s separation from the Company or relates to, arises out of or results from actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to, on or after Xenia’s separation from the Company.
While, to the best of its knowledge, the Company does not presently anticipate Xenia or Xenia’s subsidiaries, directors, officers, agents, representatives and employees to be made a party to any actions related to the above matters, in connection with the separation of Xenia from the Company, the Company determined that it was in the best interests of the Company to enter into the Indemnity Agreement.
The Company is 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 financial statements of the Company.
14. Subsequent Events
Subsequent to March 31, 2015, the Company sold one non-core property for $27,500 and acquired two retail properties for a gross acquisition price of $90,500. On April 16, 2015, the Company changed its name from Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. to InvenTrust Properties Corp.

Overview
Over the past two years, we have been implementing our strategy of focusing our portfolio into three asset classes - retail, lodging and student housing. By tailoring, expanding and refining these three components of our portfolio, our goals have been to enhance long-term stockholder value and position the Company to explore various strategic transactions and liquidity events for our stockholders. Following the completion of the Spin-Off of our lodging segment as described below, as of March 31, 2015, our portfolio is comprised of 142 properties, excluding development properties, representing 15.5 million square feet of retail space, 7,989 student housing beds, and 6.4 million square feet of non-core space. With our current portfolio, our strategy is to tailor and grow our retail and student housing segments and dispose of our remaining non-core segment. Our objective has been, and will continue to be, maximizing stockholder value over the long-term.
On April 16, 2015, we announced that we changed our name to InvenTrust Properties Corp. Following the completion of the self-management transactions in 2014 and the Spin-Off of our lodging segment in 2015, we determined it was an appropriate time to change our name and develop a brand that is consistent with our strategy. Our new name is consistent with our multi-tenant retail strategy to bring innovation and invention to the way we operate our retail properties. We also continue to develop and expand our student housing business segment, which operates under the University House Communities name.
On a consolidated basis, substantially all of our revenues and cash flows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were generated by collecting rental payments from our tenants, distributions from unconsolidated entities and dividend income earned from investments in marketable securities. Our largest cash expenses relate to the operation of our properties and the interest expense on our mortgages. Our property operating expenses include, but are not limited to: real estate taxes, regular repair and maintenance, management fees, utilities, and insurance (some of which are recoverable).
In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, management focuses on the following financial and non-financial indicators, discussed in further detail herein:
• | Funds from Operations ("FFO"), a supplemental non-GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or "GAAP") measure to net income determined in accordance with GAAP; |
• | Property net operating income ("NOI"), which excludes interest expense, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, net income of noncontrolling interest, and other investment income from corporate investments; |
• | Cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP; |
• | Economic and physical occupancy and rental rates; |
• | Leasing activity and lease rollover; |
• | Managing operating expenses; |
• | Managing general and administrative expenses; |
• | Debt maturities and leverage ratios; and |
• | Liquidity levels. |
Company highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2015
Distributions, including the Spin-off of Lodging Subsidiary, Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc.
On February 3, 2015, we completed the spin-off ("Spin-Off") of our subsidiary, Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc. ("Xenia"), which at the time owned 46 premium full service, lifestyle and urban upscale hotels and two hotels in development, through the pro rata taxable distribution of 95% of the outstanding common stock of Xenia to holders of record of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on January 20, 2015 (the "Record Date"). Each holder of record of the Company’s common stock received one share of Xenia’s common stock for every eight shares of the Company’s common stock held at the close of business on the Record Date (the "Distribution"). In lieu of fractional shares, stockholders of the Company received cash. On February 4, 2015, Xenia’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the ticker symbol "XHR." In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into certain agreements that, among other things, provide a framework for our relationship with Xenia as two separate companies, including a Transition Services Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement and an Indemnity Agreement.
31
Upon completing the Spin-Off, our Board analyzed and reviewed our distribution rate and announced a new distribution rate of $0.13 per share on an annualized basis beginning with the distribution paid in March 2015. A number of factors were considered in establishing the new distribution rate. Xenia generated a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations and as a result, our previous distribution rate was not sustainable after the Spin-Off. In addition, the board of directors determined that it is in the best interest of the Company to retain additional operating cash flow in order to accumulate an appropriate level of capital reserves to enable the Company to tailor and grow its retail and student housing segments, consistent with our strategy and objectives, as well as to address future lease maturities and disposition plans related to several properties in our non-core segment.
In an effort to become a more efficient organization, we will be moving to quarterly distributions in the third quarter of this year. Switching from monthly to quarterly distributions will provide cost savings of approximately $1 million in printing and mailing costs.
Financing Activities
On February 3, 2015, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement for a $300 million unsecured revolving line of credit with KeyBank National Association, JP Morgan Chase Bank National Association and other financial institutions. The accordion feature allows us to increase the size of our unsecured line of credit up to $600 million, subject to certain conditions. The unsecured revolving line of credit matures on February 2, 2019 and contains one 12-month extension option that we may exercise upon payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the commitment amount on the maturity date and subject to certain other conditions. The unsecured revolving line of credit bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.40% and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2015, we had $0.04 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
As of March 31, 2015, we had mortgage debt of approximately $1.8 billion, which has a weighted average interest rate of 5.03% per annum. Our debt maturities remaining for 2015 are $25.8 million. This debt bears interest at a weighted average interest rate of 6.22% per annum. Of the total mortgage debt of $1.8 billion, approximately $209.3 million of that amount is variable rate debt.
Same Store Segment Net Operating Income
The following table represents our same store net operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Same store properties are properties we have owned and operated for the same period during each year. Net operating income is calculated and reconciled to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") net income in "Part I, Item 1. Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements."
Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 | Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 | Increase (decrease) | Increase (decrease) | Average Occupancy March 31, 2015 (a) | Average Occupancy March 31, 2014 (a) | ||||||||||||

(a) | Economic occupancy, shown for the retail and non-core segments, is defined as the percentage of total gross leasable area for which a tenant is obligated to pay rent under the terms of its lease agreement, regardless of the actual use or occupation by that tenant of the area being leased. Physical occupancy is shown for the student housing segment. |
Same store net operating income for our retail segment decreased slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to one time transactions, such as termination fee income and recovery income that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Same store net operating income for our student housing segment increased for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to higher occupancy and higher rental rates. Same store net operating income for our non-core segment remained unchanged with a slight decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The slight decrease was attributed to lower occupancy due to one large tenant moving out during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
32
Outlook
During 2015, we will seek to deliver value by continuing to refine and grow our retail and student housing segments and dispose of our remaining non-core assets.
Our retail portfolio is expected to maintain high occupancy and have manageable lease rollover in the next three years. A significant focus in our retail segment will be to continue to maximize the portfolio by accretive acquisitions in key markets and select dispositions of properties that are in markets that we do not believe offer the same opportunities for growth. Our leasing staff actively seeks to lease space at favorable rates, and our management team is focused on controlling expenses and maintaining strong tenant relationships. We believe the retail segment same store income will be consistent with 2014 results while improving the tenant mix and continuing to upgrade the quality of the tenancies.
We expect increases in operating results compared to 2014 in our student housing portfolio due to increasing rental rates driven by the quality of our property metrics and strong demand. In addition, we anticipate the estimated mid-year delivery of approximately 1,618 beds from three current development projects. We also anticipate the 2016 delivery of approximately 831 beds from two developments. Occasionally, we may recycle capital through strategic dispositions in order to maximize the financial performance of our student housing segment.
We expect to see similar or decreased operating performance in our non-core portfolio. We will look to sell these assets in individual and portfolio transactions or engage in other strategic transactions over time in an effort to maximize their value.
While we believe we will see overall operating performance increases in 2015, we expect to see disposition activity in 2015. This disposition activity could cause us to experience dilution in our operating performance during the period we dispose of properties and prior to reinvestment. We believe that our debt maturities over the next five years are manageable and although we believe interest rates will rise in the future, we anticipate low interest rates to continue this year. We believe we will be able to continue cash distributions at our new distribution rate of $0.13 per share on an annualized basis and anticipate distributions to be funded by cash flow from operations as well as distributions from unconsolidated entities and gains on sales of properties.

Results of Operations
General
Consolidated Results of Operations
This section describes and compares our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. We generate most of our net income from property operations. In order to evaluate our overall portfolio, management analyzes the operating performance of all properties from period to period and properties we have owned and operated for the same period during each year. Investment properties owned for the entire three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are referred to herein as "same store" properties. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are stated in thousands (except per share amounts and per square foot amounts).

Our net income decreased $124,648 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily as a result of the disposition of 140 properties subsequent to March 31, 2014, including the Spin-Off of Xenia. At March 31, 2015, the Company owned a portfolio of 142 properties, whereas comparatively, at March 31, 2014, the Company owned 272 properties, and classified ten properties as held for sale. Of the 140 properties disposed subsequent to March 31, 2014, the operations, as well as any gains on sales recognized, for 110 properties are included in income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $2,241 compared to $134,032 at March 31, 2014, a decrease of $131,791.

Property Income and Operating Expenses
Rental income consists of basic monthly rent, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of acquired above and below market leases, other property income, and percentage rental income recorded pursuant to tenant leases. Tenant recovery income consists of reimbursements for real estate taxes, common area maintenance costs, management fees, and insurance costs. Other property income consists of lease termination fees and other miscellaneous property income. Property operating expenses consist of regular repair and maintenance, management fees, utilities, and insurance (some of which are recoverable from the tenant).
34
• | Total property income decreased $8,820 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Our student housing segment had a revenue increase of $648 due to an increased number of properties through acquisition. The increases were offset by a decrease in our retail segment of $2,757 and a decrease in our non-core segment of $6,711. Decreases in retail and non-core segments were primarily the result of the sale of properties that did not qualify as discontinued operations. |
• | Property operating expenses decreased $1,502 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 2014. The decrease in property operating expenses was primarily the result of the sale of properties that did not qualify as discontinued operations. |
Provision for Asset Impairment
• | For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we did not recognize any asset impairment. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we identified certain properties which may have a reduction in the expected holding period and reviewed the probability that we would dispose of these assets. As a result of our analysis, we identified two non-core properties that we determined were impaired and subsequently were written down to fair value. We recorded a provision for asset impairment of $6,841 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. |
General Administrative Expenses and Business Management Fee
• | The increase in general and administrative expenses of $6,482 to $20,583 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $14,101 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was a result of the completion of the self-management transaction and costs associated with the internalization of functions previously performed by the Business Manager or its related parties. We began internalizing functions such as IT, human resources and property management, which have resulted in an increase in employee salaries and implementation costs, which are reflected in the three months end March 31, 2015. As part of the company reorganization, we eliminated certain roles and incurred severance costs of approximately $1,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. |
• | We incurred a business management fee of $2,594 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, the Company no longer pays a business manager fee. |
• | On March 12, 2014, we entered into a series of agreements and amendments to existing agreements with affiliates of the Inland Group pursuant to which the Company began the process of becoming entirely self-managed (collectively, the "Self-Management Transactions"). On March 12, 2014, as part of the Self-Management Transactions, the Company; the Business Manager; Inland American Lodging Advisor, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of the Business Manager ("ILodge"); the Company's property managers, Inland American Industrial Management LLC (“Inland Industrial”), Inland American Office Management LLC (“Inland Office”) and Inland American Retail Management LLC (“Inland Retail”); their parent, Inland American Holdco Management LLC (“Holdco” and collectively with Inland Industrial, Inland Office and Inland Retail, the “Property Managers”); and Eagle I Financial Corp. ("Eagle"), entered into a Master Modification Agreement (the “Master Modification Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed with the Business Manager to terminate the management agreement with the Business Manager, hired all of the Business Manager’s employees and acquired the assets or rights necessary to conduct the functions previously performed for the Company by the Business Manager. The Company also hired certain Property Manager employees and assumed responsibility for performing significant property management activities. The Company assumed certain limited liabilities of the Business Manager and the Property Managers, including accrued liabilities for employee holiday, sick and vacation time for those Business Manager, and Property Manager employees who became employees of the Company and liabilities arising after the closing of the Master Modification Agreement under leases and contracts assigned to the Company. The Company did not assume, and the Business Manager is obligated to indemnify the Company against, any liabilities related to the pre-closing operations of the Business Manager. Eagle, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Inland Group, guaranteed the Business Manager’s indemnity and other obligations under the Master Modification Agreement. The Company did not pay an internalization fee or self-management fee in connection with the Master Modification Agreement but reimbursed the Business Manager and Property Managers for specified transaction related expenses and employee payroll costs. The Company entered into a consulting agreement with Inland Group affiliates for a term of three months at $200 per month, which the Company elected not to renew pursuant to its terms. The Master Modification Agreement contained a ninety-day reconciliation of certain payments and reimbursements, including the January 2014 business management fee. The reconciliation was completed during the three months ended June 30, 2014, which resulted in $728 of SEC-related investigation costs and an adjusted January 2014 business management fee expense of $2,605. |
35
Concurrently, as part of the Self-Management Transactions, the Company entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement (the "Asset Acquisition Agreement") with the Property Managers and Eagle, pursuant to which the Company agreed to terminate the management agreements with the Property Managers at the end of 2014, hire certain of the remaining Property Manager employees and acquire the assets or rights necessary to conduct the remaining functions performed for the Company by the Property Managers. The Company agreed to assume certain limited liabilities, including accrued liabilities for employee holiday, sick and vacation time for Property Manager employees that became Company employees and liabilities arising after the closing of the Asset Acquisition Agreement under leases and other contracts that the Company assumed in the transaction. The Company did not assume any liabilities related to the pre-closing operations of the Property Managers, and it did not pay an internalization fee or self-management fee in connection with the Asset Acquisition Agreement. The Company consummated the transactions contemplated thereby on December 31, 2014.
Also on March 12, 2014, as part of the Self-Management Transactions, the Company entered into separate Amended and Restated Master Management Agreements (collectively, the “Amended Property Management Agreements”) with each of the Property Managers (excluding Holdco), pursuant to which the Property Managers continued to provide property management services to the Company through December 31, 2014, other than the property-level accounting, lease administration, leasing, marketing and construction functions that the Company began performing pursuant to the Master Modification Agreement. The Company transitioned the remaining property management functions on December 31, 2014. Many of the employees of the Company's former Business Manager and former Property Managers are now directly employed by the Company. The Amended Property Management Agreements terminated on December 31, 2014 pursuant to their terms.

• | Interest expense decreased to $23,047 from $31,719 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 due to property sales and mortgage pay-downs during the year ended December 31, 2014. |
Realized Gain on Sale of Marketable Securities, net
• | Realized gain on securities, net, increased to $2,711 from $33 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, due to additional securities sold during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. |
Discontinued Operations
In line with our adoption of the new accounting standard governing discontinued operations during the year ended December 31, 2014, only disposals representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our results and operations would qualify as discontinued operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Xenia hotels that we spun off are included in discontinued operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the net lease assets previously classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and the entire lodging segment, including the hotels sold during the year-ended December 31, 2014 and the Xenia hotels that we spun off are included in discontinued operations.
• | The decrease in net income from discontinued operations of $131,791 to $2,241 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $134,032 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to a decrease in the gain on sale of properties. Gain on sale of properties was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $125,699 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. |

Segment Reporting
Over the past two years, we have been implementing our strategy of focusing our diverse portfolio of real estate into three asset classes - retail, lodging and student housing. By tailoring, expanding and refining these three components of our portfolio, our goals are to enhance stockholder value and position the Company to explore various strategic transactions and liquidity events for our stockholders. On February 3, 2015, we successfully completed the Spin-Off. As a result of the Spin-Off and other dispositions of our lodging properties, going forward we no longer have a lodging segment. Moving forward, we will seek to deliver value by continuing to tailor and grow our retail and student housing segments, consistent with our strategy and objectives, as well as to address future lease maturities and disposition plans related to several properties in our non-core segment.
We evaluate segment performance primarily based on net operating income. Net operating income of the segments excludes interest expense, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, net income of noncontrolling interest and other investment income from corporate investments.
In order to evaluate our overall portfolio, management analyzes the operating performance of all properties from period to period and properties we have owned and operated for the same period during each year. A total of 136 of our investment properties satisfied the criteria of being owned for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This same store analysis allows management to monitor the operations of our existing properties for comparable periods to determine the effects of our acquisitions and dispositions on net income.
An analysis of results of operations by segment is below. The tables contained throughout summarize certain key operating performance measures for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The rental rates reflected in retail and non-core are inclusive of rent abatements, lease inducements and straight-line rent GAAP adjustments, and exclusive of tenant improvements and lease commissions. The rental rates reflected for student housing are inclusive of rent concessions. Economic occupancy, shown for our retail and non-core segments, is defined as the percentage of total gross leasable area for which a tenant is obligated to pay rent under the terms of its lease agreement, regardless of the actual use or occupation by that tenant of the area being leased. Physical occupancy, shown for our student housing segment, is defined as the percentage of occupied beds compared to the total number of leasable beds.
37
Retail Segment
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we owned 108 retail assets consisting of 15,477,279 square feet. There were 104 retail same store assets for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Our retail segment consists solely of multi-tenant retail properties, primarily community and neighborhood centers and power centers.
We believe that fundamentals in the retail segment are improving. As our community and neighborhood centers and power centers are typically grocery-anchored and necessity-based retail centers, we believe that there continues to be strong demand due to their relative resiliency to e-commerce as compared with other retail asset classes. With limited new development and construction, we believe rental rates will grow, and we have a positive view of this segment. Our strategy includes focusing on key markets across the country and growing our presence in those markets. These key markets share fundamental characteristics such as job growth, increasing wages and population growth. We also may opportunistically dispose of retail properties to take advantage of market conditions or in situations where the properties no longer fit within our strategic objectives.
For current properties in the portfolio, we continue to maintain our expense controls and believe our property marketing programs enhance current tenant relationships. We will support our key market approach by expanding our regional offices and further embed leasing and operations staff in our respective markets. We see this continuing in 2015 and beyond as we continue to source acquisitions in key markets. We also continue to focus on new consumer trends and re-evaluate tenant synergies and complimentary uses as leases mature in an effort to maximize tenant performance at our properties.

We believe the percentage of leases expiring annually over the next five years will allow us to capture an appropriate portion of future market rent increases while allowing us to manage any potential re-leasing risk. For purposes of preparing the table, we have not assumed that contractual lease options contained in certain of our leases and which have not yet been exercised as of March 31, 2015 will in fact be exercised.
The following table represents lease spread metrics for leases that commenced in 2015 compared to expiring leases for the prior tenant in the same unit:
Number of Leases Commenced as of March 31, 2015 | GLA SF | New Contractual Rent ($PSF) (a) | Prior Contractual Rent ($PSF) (a) | Change over prior year (a) | Weighted Average Lease Term (Years) | Tenant Improvement Allowance ($PSF) | Lease Commissions ($PSF) | |
Comparable (b) Renewal Leases | 71 | 730,971 | $12.70 | $12.47 | 1.83% | 5.65 | $0.53 | $0.06 |
Comparable (b) New Leases | 2 | 7,853 | 19.92 | 17.69 | 12.61% | 9.03 | 38.98 | 8.19 |

Total | 82 | 778,593 | $12.77 | $12.52 | 1.99% | 5.86 | $1.07 | $0.50 |
(a) Non-comparable leases are not included in totals.
(b) Comparable lease is defined as a lease that meets all of the following criteria: same unit, leased within one year of prior tenant, square footage of unit stayed the same or within 10% of prior unit square footage, and rent structure is consistent.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, 11 new leases and 71 renewals commenced with gross leasable area totaling 778,593 square feet, of which 73 were comparable. For our comparable new leases, base rent increased by 12.61% from prior base rent, from $17.69 to $19.92 per square foot. The weighted average term for comparable new leases was 9.03 years, with tenant improvement allowances and commissions at $38.98 and $8.19 per square foot, respectively.
Our comparable renewal leases saw rent growth of 1.83%, increasing from $12.47 to $12.70 per square foot. The weighted average term was 5.65 years, with tenant improvement allowances and lease commissions at $0.53 and $0.06 per square foot, respectively. The 9 non-comparable leases commenced with rents starting at $16.20 in year 1 and had a weighted average term of 9.15 years. Tenant improvement allowances and lease commissions were $3.45 and $7.23 per square foot, respectively.
Tenant improvement allowances were primarily given for our new leases. Lease commissions were consistent across the new lease activity. As of December 31, 2014, we had 93 leases set to expire in the first three months of 2015, of which gross leasable area totaled 719,000 square feet. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we achieved a retention rate of 72% by number of leases.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
The table below represents operating information for the retail segment and for the same store retail segment consisting of properties acquired prior to January 1, 2014. The properties in the same store portfolio were owned for the entire three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Activity in the non-same store column for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 includes properties acquired after March 31, 2014. Activity in the non-same store column for the three months ended March 31, 2014 also includes properties sold in 2014 that did not qualify as discontinued operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, on a same store basis, our retail segment net operating income decreased by $1,068, or 2.4%, down to $43,077 from $44,145. This was a result of one time transactions occurring for the three months ended March 31, 2014, such as four termination fees that totaled $500 and a one time real estate tax recovery of $468. Stable same store occupancy and lease rates have contributed to an increase of rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. During the same three month period, the total segment net operating income decreased by $2,805, or 5.9%, to $44,937 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $47,742 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily the result of the sold properties that did not qualify as discontinued operations.

Student Housing Segment
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we owned 14 student housing assets consisting of 7,989 beds. There were 12 student housing same store assets for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. We are increasing the size of our student housing portfolio through acquisitions and developments. In 2015, we continued construction on five properties. Our rental rates in student housing rose in 2015 compared to 2014 due to favorable market conditions as well as the addition of one property in December 2014.
Student housing industry fundamentals continue to improve. We anticipate new deliveries will be down in 2015 and expect enrollment to continue to grow, especially at our target universities. Furthermore, new deliveries are being absorbed quickly and pre-leasing percentages are higher than recent years. Rent-per-bed and occupancy are predicted to increase in 2015, largely driven by the positive supply-and-demand environment in most markets. Particularly as the demand for modern housing with luxury amenities supersedes that for existing housing, we continue targeting newer core assets consistent with our investment strategy that will be best positioned to succeed in this positive student housing environment. Our student housing team continues to seek and evaluate opportunities for segment growth that are in line with our key community characteristics while minimizing transaction costs by completing acquisitions off-market. We are committed to developing strategic business partnerships and relationships with universities that meet our target criteria in order to capitalize on potential segment growth.

(a) Physical occupancy is defined as a percentage of the number of beds, excluding models, for which a bed is being physically occupied. The percentage is based on a weighted daily average for the period. Prior year physical occupancy does not include properties sold or classified as discontinued operations.
(b) End of month scheduled rent per student housing bed per month is defined as average net rental income for the period divided by the average occupied units for the same period. Average net rental income is defined as actual rent charged less concessions. Average occupied units are defined as physical occupancy multiplied by total number of beds (excluding models). Prior year rent per bed per month does not include properties classified as sold or discontinued operations.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
The table below represents operating information for the total student housing segment and for the same store student housing segment, consisting of properties acquired prior to January 1, 2014. The properties in the same store portfolio were owned for the entire three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Activity in the non-same store column for the three months ended March 31, 2015 includes a property acquired after March 31, 2014. Activity in the non-same store column for the three months ended March 31, 2014 also includes a property sold in 2014 that did not qualify for discontinued operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, on a same store basis, net operating income increased by $487, or 4.8%, compared to the same period in 2014, due to an increase in occupancy and an increase in rates at the majority of our properties. This includes an increase in occupancy for one of our larger properties to 90% from 82% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. On a total segment basis, our student housing segment saw an increase in net operating income of $753, or 6.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The increase was driven by an increase in rental rates to $761 from $746 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and an increase in occupancy to 95% from 92% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This increase was supported by a property that was purchased in the fourth quarter of 2014 and offset by a property sold in 2014 that did not qualify for discontinued operations.

Non-core Segment
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we owned 20 non-core assets consisting of 6,409,697 square feet. There were 20 non-core same store assets for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
Our non-core segment is comprised of multi-tenant office and triple net properties, such as distribution centers, correctional facilities and single-tenant office properties. Our strategy includes the disposition of non-core assets in individual and portfolio transactions over time or engage in other strategic transactions in an effort to maximize their value.

(a) Economic occupancy is defined as the percentage of total gross leasable area for which a tenant is obligated to pay rent under the terms of its lease agreement, regardless of the actual use or occupation by that tenant of the area being leased. Actual use may be less than economic square footage. Prior year economic occupancy does not include properties sold or classified as discontinued operations.

Leases expiring in 2016 and 2017 represent approximately 42.8% and 23.9%, respectively, of our total annualized rental income of our non-core segment. In 2016 and 2017, the leases on two properties occupied by AT&T, Inc. expire. One property with approximately 1.7 million square feet is in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, which is in the greater metro Chicago market. The second property with approximately 1.5 million square feet is in St. Louis, Missouri. AT&T, Inc. may not renew such leases. If AT&T, Inc. does not renew such leases, based on current market conditions, we may be unable to re-lease some or all of these properties at a comparable rate in a timely manner. To the extent we are able to re-lease any or all of such properties, the tenant improvement and leasing costs associated with any new tenants would likely be significant.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
The table below represents operating information for the total non-core segment and for the same store non-core segment, consisting of properties acquired prior to January 1, 2014. The properties in the same store portfolio were owned for the entire three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Activity in the non-same store column for the three months ended March 31, 2014 includes properties sold in 2014 that did not qualify as discontinued operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, on a same store basis, net operating income decreased slightly by $62, or 0.3%, compared to the same period in 2014. The slight decrease was attributed to lower occupancy due to one large tenant moving out during the three months ended March 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, our total segment net operating income decreased by $5,669, or 22.7%, compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease was a result of the disposition of 20 properties after the first quarter 2014 that did not qualify as discontinued operations.

As part of our restructure and foreclosure of a note receivable, we began overseeing as the secured lender certain roadway and utility infrastructure projects that will provide access to the 240 acre Sacramento Railyards ("Railyards") property. The Railyards property is located immediately adjacent to, and to the north of, Sacramento’s central business district. The infrastructure projects were planned, approved, and funded prior to the foreclosure of the Stan Thomas note. The Railyards property is the subject of a collaborative planning and infrastructure funding effort of various federal, state, and local municipalities and its development is scheduled to be completed in phases during the years 2014-2030. We are currently engaged in efforts to either sell parcels within the Railyards or to sell the entire property to a master developer. We sold a parcel of land to the City of Sacramento for $10,000 on October 2, 2014. The current book value of the Railyards property is $143,104 as of March 31, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2015, we had $197.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. We continually evaluate the economic and credit environment and its impact on our business. We believe we are appropriately positioned to have significant liquidity to utilize in executing our strategy.
Short-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a short-term basis, our principal demands for funds are to pay our corporate and operating expenses, as well as property capital expenditures, make distributions to our stockholders, and pay interest and principal payments on our current indebtedness. We expect to meet our short term liquidity requirements from cash flow from operations and distributions from our joint venture investments.
Long-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a long-term basis, our objectives are to maximize revenue generated by our existing properties, to further enhance the value of our retail and student housing segments that produce attractive current yield and long-term risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders and to generate sustainable and predictable cash flow from our operations to distribute to our stockholders. We believe the repositioning of our retail properties and growth of our student housing segment will increase our operating cash flows. Our non-core properties have lease maturities within the next three years that may reduce our cash flows from operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to re-lease these properties at comparable rates or on comparable terms.
Our principal demands for funds have been and will continue to be:
• | to pay our expenses and the operating expenses of our properties; |
• | to make distributions to our stockholders; |
• | to service or pay-down our debt; |
• | to fund capital expenditures and leasing related costs; |
• | to invest in properties and portfolios of properties; and |
• | to fund development investments. |
Generally, our cash needs have been and will be funded from:
• | cash flows from our investment properties; |
• | income earned on our investment in marketable securities; |
• | distributions from our joint venture investments; |
• | proceeds from sales of properties and marketable securities; |
• | proceeds from borrowings on properties; and |
• | proceeds from our line of credit. |
We may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase additional amounts of our outstanding equity and/or debt securities through cash purchases for other securities. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Acquisitions and Dispositions of Real Estate Investments
We acquired no properties during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Comparatively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, we acquired three properties, which were funded with available cash, disposition proceeds, mortgage indebtedness and the proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan. We invested net cash of approximately $194.9 million for these acquisitions.
On February 3, 2015, we completed the Spin-Off of Xenia, which at the time owned 46 premium full service, lifestyle and urban upscale hotels and two hotels in development.
We sold one parcel of land for a gross disposition price of $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Comparatively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 we sold 223 properties, including 182 bank branches, 30 non-core properties, and 11 multi-tenant retail properties, generating net sales proceeds of $462.2 million.
46
Distributions
We declared cash distributions to our stockholders per weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period from January 1, 2015 to March 31, 2015 totaling $54.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we paid cash distributions of $81.2 million. These cash distributions were paid with $40.7 million from our cash flow from operations, $3.5 million provided by distributions from unconsolidated entities, as well as $0.7 million from the gain on sale of a parcel of land. The difference between the cash distributions declared and the cash distributions paid is a timing difference due to our payment of distributions one month in arrears and a reduction of our dividend from $0.50 to $0.13 per share on an annualized basis beginning with the distribution paid in March 2015, which is discussed below.
In an effort to become a more efficient organization, we will be moving to quarterly distributions in the third quarter of this year. Switching from monthly to quarterly distributions will provide cost savings of approximately $1 million in printing and mailing costs.
The following chart summarizes the sources of our cash used to pay distributions. Our primary source of cash is cash flow provided by operating activities from our investments as presented in our cash flow statement. We also include distributions from unconsolidated entities to the extent that the underlying real estate operations in these entities generate these cash flows. Gain on sales of properties relate to net profits from the sale of certain properties. Our presentation is not intended to be an alternative to our consolidated statements of cash flow and does not present all the sources and uses of our cash.
The following table presents a historical view of our distribution coverage.

On February 3, 2015, we completed the Spin-Off through the pro rata taxable distribution of 95% of the outstanding common stock of Xenia to holders of record of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on January 20, 2015. Each holder of record of the Company’s common stock received one share of Xenia’s common stock for every eight shares of the Company’s common stock held at the close of business on the Record Date. In lieu of fractional shares, stockholders of the Company received cash. On February 4, 2015, Xenia’s common stock began trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “XHR.”
Upon completing the Spin-Off, our Board analyzed and reviewed our distribution rate, and on February 24, 2015, announced a new distribution rate of $0.13 per share on an annualized basis beginning with the distribution paid in March 2015. We expect to fund our distributions from cash generated from operations, distributions from unconsolidated entities, and gain on sales of properties.
A number of factors were considered in establishing the new distribution rate. Xenia generated a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations and as a result, our previous distribution rate was not sustainable after the Spin-Off. In addition, the board of directors determined that it is in the best interest of the Company to retain additional operating cash flow in order to accumulate an appropriate level of capital reserves to enable the Company to tailor and grow its retail and student housing segments, consistent with our strategy and objectives, as well as address future lease maturities and disposition plans related to several properties in our non-core segment.
Stock Offering
We have completed two public offerings of our common stock on a best efforts basis as well as offerings of common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan, or “DRP.” Under the DRP, as amended, the purchase price per share is equal to 100% of the “market price” of a share of the Company’s common stock until the shares become listed for trading. After December 27, 2013 and until August 12, 2014, the DRP purchase price was $6.94 per share. On August 12, 2014, in connection with the contemplated Xenia Spin-Off, we announced that our board of directors voted to suspend the distribution reinvestment plan and have no immediate plans to reinstate the DRP.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we sold a total of 6.5 million shares and generated $45.0 million in gross offering proceeds under the distribution reinvestment plan. Our average distribution reinvestment plan participation was 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Share Repurchase Program
Our board adopted a Share Repurchase Program ("SRP"), which became effective February 1, 2012 and was suspended as of February 28, 2014. In connection with our SRP, in January 2014, we repurchased 1,077,829 shares requested in fourth quarter 2013. There are no additional requests outstanding. The price per share for all shares repurchased was $6.94 and all repurchases were funded from proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan. The Board of Directors voted to suspend the SRP on January 29, 2014 in order to comply with the securities laws while we executed a series of strategic transactions. The SRP will remain suspended indefinitely until further notice.
On April 25, 2014, we completed a modified Dutch tender offer, and accepted for purchase 60,761,166 shares for a final aggregate purchase price of $394.9 million as of December 31, 2014, excluding fees and expenses relating to the tender offer and paid by us.

For consolidated borrowings, the debt maturity excludes mortgage discounts associated with debt assumed at acquisition of which a discount of $6.5 million, net of accumulated amortization, is outstanding as of March 31, 2015. Of the total outstanding debt for all years at March 31, 2015, approximately $31.9 million is recourse to the Company.
As of March 31, 2015, we had approximately $25.8 million and $240.7 million in mortgage debt maturing in 2015 and 2016, respectively. In 2015, we will continue to negotiate refinancing the remaining 2015 and 2016 debt maturities as well the 2017 maturities of $782.6 million. We currently anticipate that we will be able to repay or refinance all of our debt on a timely basis, and believe we have adequate sources of funds to meet our short term cash needs. However, there can be no assurance that we can obtain such refinancing on satisfactory terms. Volatility in the capital markets could expose us to the risk of not being able to borrow on terms and conditions acceptable to us for future acquisitions or refinancings.
Mortgage loans outstanding as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $1.8 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively, and had weighted average interest rates of 5.03% and 4.63% per annum, respectively. Of these mortgage loans outstanding at December 31, 2014, approximately $1.2 billion related to properties in discontinued operations. As of March 31, 2015, we had no margin securities payable balance. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had a net pay down of $3.9 million against our portfolio of marketable securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we borrowed approximately $50.0 million and $140.5 million, respectively, secured by mortgages on our properties.
On January 30, 2015, we paid off our $200 million unsecured term loan, and on February 3, 2015, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement for a $300 million unsecured revolving line of credit with KeyBank National Association, JP Morgan Chase Bank National Association and other financial institutions. The accordion feature allows us to increase the size of our unsecured line of credit up to $600 million, subject to certain conditions. The unsecured revolving line of credit matures on February 2, 2019 and contains one 12-month extension option that we may exercise upon payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the commitment amount on the maturity date and subject to certain other conditions. The unsecured revolving line of credit bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.40% and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2015, we believe we were in compliance with all of the covenants and default provisions under the credit agreement. As of March 31, 2015, the interest rate of the revolving line of credit was 1.40%. As of March 31, 2015, we had $0.04 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

Cash provided by operating activities was $40.7 million and $63.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and was generated primarily from operating income from property operations, interest, and dividends. Cash provided by operating activities decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 due to the disposition of 140 properties subsequent to March 31, 2014, including the Spin-Off of Xenia.
Cash used in investing activities was $40.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Cash provided by investing activities was $217.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily due to the development of our five student housing properties as well as capital expenditures. The cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to the proceeds from the sale of properties associated with the net lease asset sale offset by the acquisition of one lodging property and two retail properties.
Cash used in financing activities was $535.3 million and $48.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Cash used in financing activities increased mainly because for the three months ended March 31, 2015, we contributed $165.9 million to Xenia as well as contributed $130.1 million held by the lodging properties to Xenia. Additionally, we paid off debt of $200.0 million and $93.7 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
We consider all demand deposits, money market accounts and investments in certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.

(a) | We consider Funds from Operations, or "FFO" a widely accepted and appropriate measure of performance for a REIT. 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 ("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes reflects the operating performance of a REIT. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization and impairment charges on depreciable property and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in which we hold an interest. In calculating FFO, impairment charges of depreciable real estate assets are added back even though the impairment charge may represent a permanent decline in value due to decreased operating performance of the applicable property. Further, because gains and losses from sales of property are excluded from FFO, it is consistent and appropriate that impairments, which are often early recognition of losses on prospective sales of property, also be excluded. If evidence exists that a loss reflected in the investment of an unconsolidated entity is due to the write-down of depreciable real estate assets, these impairment charges are added back to FFO. The methodology is consistent with the concept of excluding impairment charges of depreciable assets or early recognition of losses on sale of depreciable real estate assets held by the Company. |
FFO is neither intended to be an alternative to "net income" nor to "cash flows from operating activities" as determined by GAAP as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions. We believe that FFO is a better measure of our properties’ operating performance because FFO excludes non-cash items from GAAP net income. FFO is calculated as follows:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates both in terms of variable-rate debt and the price of new fixed-rate debt upon maturity of existing debt and for acquisitions. We are also subject to market risk associated with our marketable securities investments.
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. If market rates of interest on all of the floating rate debt as of March 31, 2015 permanently increased by 1%, the increase in interest expense on the floating rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $2.1 million. If market rates of interest on all of the floating rate debt as of March 31, 2015 permanently decreased by 1%, the decrease in interest expense on the floating rate debt would increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $2.1 million.
With regard to our variable rate financing, we assess 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. We maintain 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. The risk management control systems involve the use of analytical techniques, including cash flow sensitivity analysis, to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest rates on our future cash flows.
We monitor interest rate risk using a variety of techniques, including periodically evaluating fixed interest rate quotes on all variable rate debt and the costs associated with converting the debt to fixed rate debt. Also, existing fixed and variable rate loans that are scheduled to mature in the next year or two are evaluated for possible early refinancing and or extension due to consideration given to current interest rates.
We may use financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our properties. To the extent we do, we are exposed to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, it does not possess credit risk. In the alternative, we seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with what we believe are high-quality counterparties. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.
As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had entered into interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $47,000 and $51,283, respectively. The fair value liabilities of our interest rate swap contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $2,360 and $1,744, respectively.
We have, and may in the future enter into, derivative positions that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The gains or losses resulting from marking-to-market these derivatives at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. In addition, we are, and may in the future be, subject to additional expense based on the notional amount of the derivative positions and a specified spread over LIBOR.
Equity Price Risk
We are exposed to equity price risk as a result of our investments in marketable equity securities. Equity price risk is based on volatility of equity prices and the values of corresponding equity indices.
We incurred no impairments on our investment in marketable securities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. We believe that our investments will continue to generate dividend income and we could continue to recognize gains on sale. However, due to general economic and credit market uncertainties it is difficult to project where the REIT market and our portfolio will perform in 2015.
Although it is difficult to project what factors may affect the prices of equity sectors and how much the effect might be, the table below illustrates the impact of a 10% increase and a 10% decrease in the price of the equities held by us would have on the value of the total assets and the book value of the Company as of March 31, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer evaluated as of March 31, 2015, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2015, were effective for the purpose of ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and our principal financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In May 2012, we disclosed that the SEC was conducting a non-public, formal, fact-finding investigation to determine whether there had been violations of certain provisions of the federal securities laws regarding the payment of fees to our former Business Manager and Property Managers, transactions with our former affiliates, timing and amount of distributions paid to our investors, determination of property impairments, and any decision regarding whether we would become a self-administered REIT (the "SEC Investigation").
We subsequently received three related demands (“Derivative Demands”) by stockholders to conduct investigations regarding claims that our officers, our board of directors, our former Business Manager, and affiliates of our former Business Manager breached their fiduciary duties to us in connection with the matters that we disclosed were subject to the SEC Investigation.
Upon receiving the first of the Derivative Demands, on October 16, 2012, the full board of directors responded by authorizing the independent directors to investigate the claims contained in the first Derivative Demand, any subsequent stockholder demands, as well as any other matters the independent directors saw fit to investigate. Pursuant to this authority, the independent directors formed a special litigation committee comprised solely of independent directors to review and evaluate the alleged claims and to recommend to the full board of directors whether the maintenance of a derivative proceeding was in the best interests of the Company. The special litigation committee engaged independent legal counsel and experts to assist in the investigation.
On March 21, 2013, counsel for the stockholders who made the first Derivative Demand filed a derivative lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, on behalf of the Company. The court stayed the case - Trumbo v. The Inland Group, Inc. - pending completion of the special litigation committee's investigation.
On December 8, 2014, the special litigation committee completed its investigation and issued its report and recommendation. The special litigation committee concluded that there is no evidence to support the allegations of wrongdoing in the Derivative Demands. Nonetheless, in the course of its investigation, the special litigation committee uncovered facts indicating that certain then-related parties breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by failing to disclose to the independent directors certain facts and circumstances associated with the payment of fees to our former Business Manager and Property Managers. The special litigation committee determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company to maintain a derivative action against our former Business Manager, Property Managers, and Inland American Holdco Management LLC. The special litigation committee found that it was not in the best interests of the Company to pursue claims against any other entities or against any individuals.
On January 20, 2015, the board of directors adopted the report and recommendation of the special litigation committee in full and authorized the Company to file a motion to realign the Company as the party plaintiff in Trumbo v. The Inland Group, Inc., and to take such further actions as are necessary to reject and dismiss claims related to allegations that the board of directors has determined lack merit and to pursue claims against our former Business Manager, Property Managers, and Inland American Holdco Management LLC for breach of fiduciary duties in connection with the failure to disclose facts and circumstances associated with the payment of fees to related parties.

On March 2, 2015, counsel for the stockholders who made the second Derivative Demand filed a derivative lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, on behalf of the Company. The court entered an order consolidating the action with the Trumbo case on March 26, 2015.
On March 24, 2015, the Staff of the SEC informed the Company that it had concluded its investigation and that, based on the information received to date, it did not intend to recommend any enforcement action against the Company.
In connection with Xenia's filing of the Registration Statement on Form 10 and its separation from the Company, we entered into an Indemnity Agreement with Xenia on August 8, 2014, as amended. Pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement, we agreed, to the fullest extent allowed by law or government regulation, to absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Xenia and its subsidiaries, directors, officers, agents, representatives and employees (in each case, in such person’s respective capacity as such) and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns from and against all against losses, including but not limited to “actions” (as defined in the Indemnity Agreement), arising from: the SEC Investigation; the Derivative Demands; the Trumbo action; and the investigation by the special litigation committee of our board of directors, in each case, regardless of when or where the loss took place, or whether any such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening is known or unknown, and regardless of whether such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening giving rise to the loss existed prior to, on or after Xenia’s separation from the Company or relates to, arises out of or results from actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to, on or after Xenia’s separation from the Company.
While, to the best of its knowledge, we do not presently anticipate Xenia or Xenia’s subsidiaries, directors, officers, agents, representatives and employees to be made a party to any actions related to the above matters, in connection with the separation, we have determined that it is in the Company's best interests to enter into the Indemnity Agreement.
