1. | ORGANIZATION |
KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on July 12, 2007 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. The Company conducts its business primarily through KBS Limited Partnership II, a Delaware limited partnership formed on August 23, 2007 (the “Operating Partnership”), and its subsidiaries. The Company is the sole general partner of and directly owns a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, KBS REIT Holdings II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed on August 23, 2007 (“KBS REIT Holdings II”), owns the remaining 99.9% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and is its sole limited partner.
The Company owns a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. As of March 31, 2012, the Company owned 27 real estate properties (consisting of 20 office properties, one office/flex property, a portfolio of four industrial properties and two individual industrial properties), a leasehold interest in one industrial property and eight real estate loans receivable.
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is managed by KBS Capital Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an advisory agreement the Company renewed with the Advisor on May 21, 2011 (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisory Agreement may be renewed for an unlimited number of one-year periods upon the mutual consent of the Advisor and the Company. Either party may terminate the Advisory Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice. The Advisor owns 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Upon commencing its initial public offering (the “Offering”), the Company retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Advisor, to serve as the dealer manager of the Offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement, as amended and restated on April 30, 2010 (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”). The Company ceased offering shares of common stock in its primary offering on December 31, 2010 and terminated its primary offering on March 22, 2011 upon the completion of review of subscriptions submitted in accordance with its processing procedures. The Company continues to offer shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan.
The Company sold 182,681,633 shares of common stock in its primary offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.8 billion. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had sold 15,790,913 shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $151.0 million. Also as of March 31, 2012, the Company had redeemed 7,200,911 shares sold in the Offering for $70.0 million.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, except for the presentation of other comprehensive income (loss). In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU No. 2011-05”). ASU No. 2011-05 requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The Company elected to present comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements as part of its consolidated financial statements. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the FASB ASC and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, KBS REIT Holdings II, the Operating Partnership, and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company's prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods.
Per Share Data
Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock equals basic net income (loss) per share of common stock as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Distributions declared per common share assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, distributions were based on daily record dates and calculated at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day. Each day during the periods from January 1, 2012 through February 28, 2012 and March 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012 was a record date for distributions. Each day during the period from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011 was a record date for distributions.
Segments
The Company’s segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting which classifies its operations by investment type: real estate and real estate-related. For financial data by segment, see Note 10, “Segment Information.”
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate-a Scope Clarification (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU No. 2011-10”). ASU No. 2011-10 clarifies when a parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of a default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance for Real Estate Sale (Subtopic 360-20). For public companies, the provisions of ASU No. 2011-10 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU No. 2011-10 will have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

Operating Leases
The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of March 31, 2012, the leases had remaining terms, excluding options to extend, of up to 16.9 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 6.4 years. The leases may have provisions to extend the term of the leases, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires security deposits from tenants in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. Amounts required as security deposits vary depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally are not significant amounts. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $4.1 million and $4.2 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants of $4.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, net of lease incentive amortization. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the cumulative deferred rent balance was $42.1 million and $37.1 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included $5.3 million of unamortized lease incentives as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
As of March 31, 2012, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):

(1) Annualized base rent represents annualized contractual base rental income as of March 31, 2012, adjusted to straight-line any contractual tenant concessions (including free rent), rent increases and rent decreases from the lease’s inception through the balance of the lease term.
(2) Represents the expiration date of the lease as of March 31, 2012 and does not take into account any tenant renewal or termination options.
Geographic Concentration Risk
As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s net investments in real estate in Illinois, New Jersey and California represented 19.8%, 15.5% and 11.1% of the Company’s total assets, respectively. As a result, the geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the Illinois, New Jersey and California real estate markets. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders.
In addition, the Company’s investment in the 300 N. LaSalle Building, located in Chicago, Illinois, represented approximately 20% of the Company’s total assets and 20% of the Company’s total revenues as of March 31, 2012. As a result of this investment, the geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the Chicago real estate market. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in this market, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.

Certain of our notes payable contain financial debt covenants. As of March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with these debt covenants.
7. | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS |
The Company enters into derivative instruments for risk management purposes to hedge its exposure to cash flow variability caused by changing interest rates. The primary goal of the Company’s risk management practices related to interest rate risk is to prevent changes in interest rates from adversely impacting the Company’s ability to achieve its investment return objectives. The Company does not enter into the derivatives for speculative purposes.
The Company enters into interest rate swaps as a fixed rate payer to mitigate its exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. The value of interest rate swaps is primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of the fixed rate payer position and decrease the value of the variable rate payer position. As the remaining life of the interest rate swap decreases, the value of both positions will generally move towards zero. All of the Company’s interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges.

Asset derivatives are recorded as deferred financing costs, prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and liability derivatives are recorded as other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair value of the effective portion of a derivative instrument that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. The Company recorded unrealized losses of $0.4 million on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Amounts in other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged cash flow. As a result of utilizing derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges to hedge its variable rate notes payable, the Company recognized an additional $2.3 million of interest expense related to the effective portion of cash flow hedges during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion is recognized directly in earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there was no ineffective portion related to the change in fair value of the cash flow hedges. During the next 12 months, the Company expects to recognize additional unrealized losses related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges. The present value of these additional unrealized losses totaled $8.8 million as of March 31, 2012 and were included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
8. | FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES |
Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
• | Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; |
• | Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model‑derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and |
• | Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company's financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and for which markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments for which markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rent and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities: These balances approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
Real estate loans receivable: The Company's real estate loans receivable are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at their amortized cost net of recorded loan loss reserves and not at fair value. The fair values of real estate loans receivable were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected cash flows for the loans, underlying collateral values (for collateral-dependent loans) and estimated yield requirements of institutional investors for loans with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.

Derivative instruments: These instruments are presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The valuation of these instruments is determined by a third-party expert using a proprietary model that utilizes observable inputs. As such, the Company classifies these inputs as Level 2 inputs. The proprietary model uses the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and volatility. The fair values of interest rate swaps are estimated using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk.
Notes payable: The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.
The following were the face values, carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, which carrying amounts do not approximate the fair values (in thousands):

Disclosure of the fair values of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company as of March 31, 2012 and requires a significant amount of judgment. Despite increased capital market and credit market activity, transaction volume for certain financial instruments remains relatively low. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of value at a future date could be materially different.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company measured the following assets and liabilities at fair value (in thousands):

10. | SEGMENT INFORMATION |
The Company presently operates in two reportable business segments based on its investment types: real estate and real estate‑related. Under the real estate segment, the Company has invested in office, office/flex and industrial properties. Under the real estate-related segment, the Company has invested in or originated mortgage loans, a mortgage participation and an A‑Note. All revenues earned from the Company’s two operating segments were from external customers and there were no intersegment sales or transfers. The Company does not allocate corporate-level accounts to its operating segments. Corporate‑level accounts include corporate general and administrative expenses, non-operating interest income, non-operating interest expense and other corporate-level expenses. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based upon net operating income (“NOI”), which is a non‑GAAP supplemental financial measure. The Company defines NOI for its real estate segment as operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements and other operating income) less property and related expenses (property operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance, asset management fees and provision for bad debt) less interest expense. The Company defines NOI for its real estate-related segment as interest income less loan servicing costs, asset management fees and interest expense. NOI excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of an asset such as non‑property income and expenses, depreciation and amortization, and corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company uses NOI to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s real estate and real estate-related investments and to make decisions about resource allocations. The Company believes that net income is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to NOI; however, NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of operating performance, as it excludes the items described above. Additionally, NOI as defined above may not be comparable to other REITs or companies as their definitions of NOI may differ from the Company’s definition.

Economic Dependency
The Company is dependent on the Advisor for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase, and disposition of real estate and real estate-related investments; management of the daily operations of the Company’s real estate and real estate-related investment portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event the Advisor is unable to provide the respective services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing environmental laws is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of March 31, 2012.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and possible range of loss. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.
12. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Distributions Paid
On April 16, 2012, the Company paid distributions of $10.6 million, which related to distributions declared for each day in the period from March 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012.

Distributions Declared
On May 9, 2012, the Company’s board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period from June 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012, which the Company expects to pay in July 2012, and distributions based on daily record dates for the period from July 1, 2012 through July 31, 2012, which the Company expects to pay in August 2012. Investors may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan.
Distributions for these periods will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day during these periods at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day and equal a daily amount that, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 6.5% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share in the Company's now terminated primary initial public offering or a 6.4% annualized rate based on the Company's current estimated value per share of $10.11.
Second Amended and Restated Dividend Reinvestment Plan
On April 19, 2012, the Company’s board of directors approved a second amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan (the “Amended Dividend Reinvestment Plan”). Pursuant to the Amended Dividend Reinvestment Plan, the purchase price of shares of the Company’s common stock issued under the Amended Dividend Reinvestment Plan will be equal to 95% of the estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Advisor, or another firm chosen for that purpose.
The current estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock is $10.11 and shares of the Company’s common stock issued under the Amended Dividend Reinvestment Plan will be issued for $9.60 per share until the estimated value per share of the Company's common stock is updated. On December 19, 2011, the Company’s board of directors approved an estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock of $10.11 based on the estimated value of the Company’s assets less the estimated value of the Company’s liabilities, or net asset value, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of September 30, 2011. The Company currently expects to engage the Advisor and/or an independent valuation firm to update the estimated value per share in December 2012, but is not required to update the estimated value per share more frequently than every 18 months. The Company will report the estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in its annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC.
There were no other changes to the Amended Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Amended Dividend Reinvestment Plan will be effective for purchases under the plan on May 5, 2012.
AIP Fee Reimbursement Agreement
On April 19, 2012, the Company entered into a fee reimbursement agreement with the Dealer Manager pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the Dealer Manager for certain fees and expenses it incurs for administering the Company’s participation in the DTCC Alternative Investment Product Platform (the “AIP Platform”) with respect to certain accounts of the Company's investors serviced through the AIP Platform.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, KBS Limited Partnership II, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “Operating Partnership,” and to their subsidiaries.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
• | We have a limited operating history. This inexperience makes our future performance difficult to predict. |
• | All of our executive officers and some of our directors and other key real estate and debt finance professionals are also officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, the entity that acted as our dealer manager and other KBS‑affiliated entities. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other KBS‑advised programs and investors and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions. Fees paid to our advisor in connection with transactions involving the origination, acquisition and management of our investments are based on the cost of the investment, not on the quality of the investment or services rendered to us. This arrangement could influence our advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us. |
• | We pay substantial fees to and expenses of our advisor and its affiliates and, in connection with our public offering, we paid substantial fees to participating broker-dealers. These payments increase the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us and increase the risk of loss to our stockholders. |
• | We have used and from time to time expect to continue to use proceeds from financings to fund a portion of our distributions during our operational stage. We may also fund such distributions from advances from our advisor or sponsors, from our advisor’s deferral of its asset management fee, from the net proceeds from the sale of real estate and from the receipt of principal payments on our real estate-related investments. |
• | We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from our properties could decrease due to a reduction in tenants (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non‑renewal of existing tenant leases) and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and limiting our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. |
• | Our investments in real estate, mortgage loans, participations in mortgage loans and B-notes may be affected by unfavorable real estate market and general economic conditions, which could decrease the value of those assets and reduce the investment return to our stockholders. Revenues from our properties and the properties and other assets directly securing our loan investments could decrease. Such events would make it more difficult for the borrowers under our loan investments to meet their payment obligations to us. It could also make it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. |
• | Continued disruptions in the financial markets and uncertain economic conditions could adversely affect the value of our investments. |
• | Certain of our debt obligations have variable interest rates with interest and related payments that vary with the movement of LIBOR or other indexes. Increases in the indexes could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. |
25
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
• | We cannot predict with any certainty how much, if any, of our dividend reinvestment plan proceeds will be available for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the redemption of shares under our share redemption program, the funding of capital expenditures on our real estate investments, or the repayment of debt. If such funds are not available from the dividend reinvestment plan offering, then we may have to use a greater proportion of our cash flow from operations to meet these cash requirements, which would reduce cash available for distributions and could limit our ability to redeem shares under our share redemption program. |
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

We were formed on July 12, 2007 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008 and intend to operate in such a manner. We have invested in a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. We conduct our business primarily through our Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is managed by our advisor, KBS Capital Advisors LLC, pursuant to an advisory agreement. KBS Capital Advisors conducts our operations and manages our portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. Our advisor owns 20,000 shares of our common stock. We have no paid employees.
We own a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. As of March 31, 2012, we owned 27 real estate properties (consisting of 20 office properties, one office/flex property, a portfolio of four industrial properties and two individual industrial properties), a leasehold interest in one industrial property and eight real estate loans receivable.
On September 27, 2007, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a maximum of 280,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public, of which 200,000,000 shares were registered in our primary offering and 80,000,000 shares were registered under our dividend reinvestment plan. We ceased offering shares of common stock in our primary offering on December 31, 2010. We sold 182,681,633 shares of common stock in our primary offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.8 billion. We continue to offer shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan. As of March 31, 2012, we had sold 15,790,913 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $151.0 million. Also as of March 31, 2012, we had redeemed 7,200,911 shares sold in the offering for $70.0 million.
Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets
The following discussion is based on management’s beliefs, observations and expectations with respect to the real estate and real estate finance markets.
During the past four years, there have been significant and widespread concerns about credit risk, both corporate and sovereign, and access to capital in the U.S. and global financial markets. Economies throughout the world have experienced lingering levels of high unemployment and low levels of consumer and business confidence due to a global downturn in economic activity. While some markets have shown some signs of recovery, concerns remain regarding job growth, income growth and the overall health of consumers and businesses. Recent global economic events remain centered on the potential for the default of European sovereign debt and the impact that such an event would have on the rest of the world’s financial markets. During 2011, Standard and Poor’s downgraded the credit rating of the United States to AA+ from AAA. Moody’s recently downgraded Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece and placed the UK and France on negative watch. These events have led to increased volatility in the capital markets.
In this environment, the health of the global capital markets remains a concern. The banking industry has been experiencing improved earnings, but the relatively low growth economic environment has caused the markets to question whether financial institutions are adequately capitalized. The credit downgrade of the United States has increased these concerns, especially for the larger, money center banks. Smaller financial institutions have continued to work with borrowers to amend and extend existing loans; however, as these loans reach maturity, there is the potential for future credit losses.
In Europe, the unresolved sovereign debt crisis remains a concern. Some European banks hold material quantities of sovereign debt on their balance sheets. The possible default or restructuring of the sovereign debt obligations of certain European Union countries and the resulting negative impact on the global banking system is a significant concern. The uncertainty surrounding the size of the problem and how regulators and governments intend to deal with the situation has caused many investors to reassess their pricing of risks. In response to the growing crisis the global credit markets have tightened, and the cost of capital, in general, has begun to increase.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Throughout the financial crisis and economic downturn, U.S. commercial real estate transactions experienced a sharp decline in volume. Very little market activity (buying or selling) took place in 2009 and the first half of 2010. In the second half of 2010 and the first half of 2011, the markets experienced a rebound in transaction activity. High-quality assets in primary (top-tier) markets experienced the largest increase in transaction volume. The second half of 2011, however, witnessed a significant slowdown in the level of market activity. Uncertainty in areas such as the cost of capital, and the ability to hedge asset risks, produced enough friction to bring transaction volumes down. However, toward the end of December and the beginning of the first quarter of 2012, the U.S. commercial real estate markets showed signs of recovery and increased transaction volumes.
While there are signs of improvement for commercial real estate, the outstanding economic, credit and regulatory issues remain. Certain markets will continue to benefit from employment gains specific to the location and regionally based growth industries such as technology, energy and health care. The capital markets also have an impact on these trends. Lending activity increased in 2011, but market volatility has increased caution among lenders and can affect capital supply. Commercial mortgage-backed securities lending, which was largely shut down in the second half of 2011, began again during the first quarter of 2012.
Despite improved access to capital for some companies, the aforementioned economic conditions have continued to impact the capital markets. Global government interventions in the banking system and the persistence of a highly expansionary monetary policy by the U.S. Treasury have introduced additional complexity and uncertainty to the markets. The U.S. government’s recent introduction of additional regulation to the financial markets, including the banking, insurance and brokerage sectors, has resulted in general uncertainty as to the long-term impact on these markets and on the economy as a whole. Adding to this uncertainty are increased disclosure requirements and changes to accounting principles involving the valuation of investments. These conditions are expected to continue, and combined with a challenging macro-economic environment, may interfere with the implementation of our business strategy and/or force us to modify it.
Impact on Our Real Estate Investments
These market conditions have had and will likely continue to have a significant impact on our real estate investments, creating a highly competitive leasing environment. In addition, these market conditions have impacted our tenants’ businesses, which may make it more difficult for them to meet current lease obligations and may place pressure on them to negotiate favorable lease terms upon renewal in order for their businesses to remain viable. Projected future declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space and potential future rental concessions, including free rent to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to sign new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flow. Historically low interest rates could help offset some of the impact of decreases in operating cash flow for properties financed with variable rate mortgages; however, interest rates likely will not remain at these historically low levels for the life of many of our investments.
Impact on Our Real Estate-Related Investments
Our real estate-related investments are directly secured by commercial real estate. As a result, our real estate-related investments have been impacted to some degree by the same factors impacting our real estate investments.
As of March 31, 2012, we had fixed rate real estate loans receivable with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $382.6 million and an aggregate carrying value (including origination and closing costs) of $319.3 million that mature between 2014 and 2018 and a variable rate real estate loan receivable with a principal balance of $ 87.5 million and a carrying value (including origination and closing costs) of $88.4 million that matures in 2013.
Impact on Our Financing Activities
In light of the risks associated with possible declines of operating cash flows from our real estate properties and the current underwriting environment for commercial real estate mortgages, we may have difficulty refinancing some of our mortgage notes at maturity or may not be able to refinance our obligations at terms as favorable as the terms of our existing indebtedness. As of March 31, 2012, we had debt obligations in the aggregate principal amount of $1.4 billion, all of which have an initial maturity between 2013 and 2016. We have a total of $531.2 million of fixed rate notes payable and $867.1 million of variable rate notes payable. The interest rates on $654.2 million of our variable rate notes payable are effectively fixed through interest rate swap agreements. As of March 31, 2012, we had no mortgage debt outstanding scheduled to mature within 12 months of that date.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demand for funds during the short- and long-term is and will be for: the payment of operating expenses, capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses; payments under debt obligations; redemptions of common stock pursuant to our share redemption program; and payments of distributions to stockholders. To date, we have had four primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements:
• | Proceeds from our now terminated primary offering; |
• | Proceeds from common stock issued under our dividend reinvestment plan; |
• | Debt financings; and |
• | Cash flow generated by our real estate operations and real estate-related investments. |
We ceased offering shares of common stock in our primary offering on December 31, 2010 and continue to offer shares under our dividend reinvestment plan. To date, we have invested substantially all of the net proceeds from our initial public offering but could potentially make a limited number of investments in the future. We intend to use our cash on hand, cash flow generated by our real estate operations and real estate-related investments, proceeds from debt financing, proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan, proceeds from the sale of real estate properties and principal repayments on our real estate loans receivable as our primary sources of immediate and long-term liquidity. As of March 31, 2012, we had an aggregate of $108.3 million available for future disbursements under three credit facilities, subject to certain conditions and restrictions set forth in the respective loan agreements.
Our investments in real estate generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, which are reduced by operating expenditures, debt service payments and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from real estate investments is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates on our leases, the collectibility of rent and operating recoveries from our tenants and how well we manage our expenditures. As of March 31, 2012, our real estate portfolio was 96% occupied and our bad debt reserve was less than 1% of annualized base rent.
Our real estate-related investments generate cash flow in the form of interest income, which is reduced by loan servicing fees, debt service payments and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flows from operations from our real estate-related investments are primarily dependent on the operating performance of the underlying collateral and the borrower’s ability to make their debt service payments. As of March 31, 2012, the borrowers under our real estate loans receivable were current on their debt service payments to us.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, our cash needs for acquisitions or originations, capital expenditures and payment of debt obligations were met with the proceeds from debt financing and proceeds from our initial public offering, including our dividend reinvestment plan. Operating cash needs during the same period were met through cash flow generated by our real estate and real estate-related investments. We made distributions to our stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2012 using a combination of cumulative cash flows from operations and debt financing. We believe that our cash on hand, proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan, cash flow from operations, availability under our credit facilities and anticipated financing activities are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
We commenced real estate operations with the acquisition of our first real estate investment on July 30, 2008. As of March 31, 2012, we owned 27 real estate properties (consisting of 20 office properties, one office/flex property, a portfolio consisting of four industrial properties and two individual industrial properties), a leasehold interest in one industrial property and eight real estate loans receivable. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities was $29.6 million, compared to $9.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Net cash from operations increased in 2012 primarily as a result of acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments in 2011 and 2012.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $51.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and primarily consisted of the following:
• | $47.4 million for the origination of one real estate loan receivable, net of closing costs and origination fees; and |
• | $4.3 million of improvements to real estate. |
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash used in financing activities was $29.7 million and consisted primarily of the following:
• | $21.1 million of cash used for redemptions of common stock; |
• | $14.0 million of net cash distributions, after giving effect to dividends reinvested by stockholders of $16.7 million; and |
• | $5.0 million of net cash provided by debt and other financings. |
In addition to using our capital resources to meet our debt service obligations, for capital expenditures and for operating costs, we use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor. We pay our advisor fees in connection with the management and disposition of our assets and for certain costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us. We will also continue to reimburse our advisor and the dealer manager for certain offering costs related to our dividend reinvestment plan and for certain stockholder services.
As of March 31, 2012, we had $44.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and up to $108.3 million available for future disbursements under our credit facilities, subject to certain conditions and restrictions set forth in the respective loan agreements, to meet our operational and capital needs.
In order to execute our investment strategy, we primarily utilize secured debt to finance a portion of our investment portfolio. Management remains vigilant in monitoring the risks inherent with the use of debt in our portfolio and is taking actions to ensure that these risks, including refinance and interest rate risks, are properly balanced with the benefit of using leverage. Our charter limits our total liabilities to 75% of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other noncash reserves) of our tangible assets; however, we may exceed that limit if the majority of the conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of our charter limitation and we disclose such borrowings to our stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. As of March 31, 2012, our borrowings and other liabilities were approximately 47% of the cost (before depreciation or other noncash reserves) and book value (before depreciation) of our tangible assets, respectively.

Results of Operations
Overview
As of March 31, 2011, we owned 17 office properties, one office/flex property, two individual industrial properties, a portfolio of four industrial properties, a leasehold interest in one industrial property and six real estate loans receivable. As of March 31, 2012, we owned 20 office properties, one office/flex property, a portfolio of four industrial properties, two individual industrial properties, a leasehold interest in one industrial property and eight real estate loans receivable. The results of operations presented for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are not directly comparable because we were still investing the proceeds from our initial public offering in 2011.
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2012 versus the three months ended March 31, 2011

(1) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of properties and real estate-related assets acquired or originated after January 1, 2011.
(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 with respect to properties and real estate-related assets owned by us as of January 1, 2011.
Rental income and tenant reimbursements increased from $62.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $76.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily as a result of acquisitions of real estate during 2011. Additionally, rental income and tenant reimbursements from properties held throughout both periods increased by $0.3 million, primarily due to higher recovery of operating expenses during 2012. We expect rental income and tenant reimbursements to vary in future periods depending on occupancy rates and rental rates of our real estate investments.
Interest income from our real estate loans receivable, recognized using the interest method, increased from $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily as a result of the origination of two additional real estate loans receivable subsequent to March 31, 2011. Interest income related to the real estate loans receivable held throughout both periods increased by $0.3 million due to an increase in discount accretion. Interest income included $1.9 million and $1.7 million in accretion of purchase price discounts, net of amortization of closing costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Interest income from real estate loans receivable in future periods compared to historical periods will be impacted by fluctuations in LIBOR, to the extent we have variable rate loans receivable, and the potential impact of principal repayments.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Operating, maintenance and management costs increased from $14.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase consisted primarily of $2.6 million resulting from the growth in our real estate portfolio, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in operating, maintenance and management costs from properties held throughout both periods primarily due to an unseasonably warm winter. Operating, maintenance and management costs may increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of inflation.
Real estate taxes, property related taxes and insurance increased from $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio. We expect real estate taxes, property related taxes and insurance to generally increase in future periods as a result of inflation, but may fluctuate up or down over time.
Asset management fees with respect to our real estate and real estate-related investments increased from $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as a result of the growth in our real estate and real estate-related investment portfolio. All asset management fees incurred as of March 31, 2012 have been paid.
Real estate acquisition fees and expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates was $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We did not incur any real estate acquisition fees and expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $28.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $31.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to the growth in our real estate portfolio. This increase was partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in depreciation and amortization from properties held throughout both periods primarily due to a decrease in amortization of tenant origination costs related to lease expirations subsequent to March 31, 2011. We expect depreciation and amortization to decrease in future periods as a result of a decrease in amortization related to fully amortized tenant origination costs.
Interest expense increased from $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.0 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily a result of our use of debt in acquiring real property investments subsequent to March 31, 2011 and an increase in the average loan balance on our properties held throughout both periods. Our interest expense in future periods will vary based on fluctuations in one-month LIBOR (for our variable debt) and on our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of debt financing and draws on our credit facilities.
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. FFO represents net income, excluding gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), impairment losses on real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We believe FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other REITs. However, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. Our management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.
31
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Changes in accounting rules have resulted in a substantial increase in the number of non-operating and non-cash items included in the calculation of FFO. As a result, our management also uses modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) as an indicator of our ongoing performance as well as our dividend sustainability. We believe that MFFO is helpful as a measure of ongoing operating performance because it excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO. MFFO also excludes non-cash items such as straight-line rental revenue. Additionally, we believe that MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance indicators and analysis used by management, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, to evaluate the sustainability of our operating performance. MFFO excludes from FFO: acquisition fees and expenses; adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above and below market intangible lease assets and liabilities; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; amortization of closing costs relating to debt investments; impairments of real estate-related investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; and gains or losses included in net income for the extinguishment or sale of debt or hedges. We compute MFFO in accordance with the definition of MFFO included in the practice guideline issued by the Investment Program Association (“IPA”) in November 2010. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not compute MFFO in accordance with the current IPA definition or that interpret the current IPA definition differently than we do.
FFO and MFFO are non-GAAP financial measures and do not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance because FFO and MFFO include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization and the other items described above. Accordingly, FFO and MFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our current and historical operating performance. In addition, FFO and MFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an indication of our liquidity. We believe FFO and MFFO, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are meaningful supplemental performance measures and are useful in understanding how our management evaluates our ongoing operating performance.
Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of straight-line rent, the amortization of discounts and closing costs and acquisition fees and expenses are the most significant adjustments for the periods presented. We have excluded these items based on the following economic considerations:
• | Adjustments for straight-line rent. These are adjustments to rental revenue as required by GAAP to recognize contractual lease payments on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease. We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the current economic impact of our in-place leases, also providing investors with a useful supplemental metric that addresses core operating performance by removing rent we hope to receive in a future period or rent that was received in a prior period; |
• | Amortization of discounts and closing costs. Discounts and closing costs related to debt investments are amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income. This application results in income recognition that is different than the underlying contractual terms of the debt investments. We have excluded the amortization of discounts and closing costs related to our debt investments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the economic impact of our debt investments, as discounts will not be economically recognized until the loan is repaid and closing costs are essentially the same as acquisition fees and expenses on real estate (discussed above). We believe excluding these items provides investors with a useful supplemental metric that directly addresses core operating performance; and |
• | Acquisition fees and expenses. Prior to 2009, acquisition costs related to business combinations were capitalized; however, per updated accounting standards, beginning in 2009, acquisition costs are expensed. Although these amounts reduce net income, we exclude them from MFFO to more appropriately present the ongoing operating performance of our real estate investments on a comparative basis. Additionally, acquisition costs have been funded from the proceeds from our now terminated initial public offering and debt financings and not from our operations. We believe this exclusion is useful to investors as it allows investors to more accurately evaluate the sustainability of our operating performance. |

Distributions
From time to time during our operational stage, we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operations or FFO, in which case distributions may be paid in part from debt financing. Distributions declared, distributions paid and cash flows from operations were as follows for the first quarter of 2012 (in thousands, except per share amounts):
Distributions Declared (1) | Distributions Declared Per Share (1) (2) | Distributions Paid (3) | Cash Flows From Operations | |||||||||||||||||||||
Period | Cash | Reinvested | Total | |||||||||||||||||||||
First Quarter 2012 | $ | 30,761 | $ | 0.160 | $ | 14,037 | $ | 16,746 | $ | 30,783 | $ | 29,556 |
(1) Distributions for the periods from January 1, 2012 through February 28, 2012 and March 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012 were based on daily record dates and were calculated at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day.
(2) Assumes share was issued and outstanding each day during the periods presented.
(3) Distributions are paid on a monthly basis. Distributions for all record dates of a given month are paid approximately 15 days following month end.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we paid aggregate distributions of $30.8 million, including $14.0 million of distributions paid in cash and $16.7 million of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan. FFO and cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $42.0 million and $29.6 million, respectively. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and dividends reinvested by stockholders, with $29.6 million of current period operating cash flows and $1.2 million of debt financing. For purposes of determining the source of our distributions paid, we assume first that we use cash flow from operations from the relevant periods to fund distribution payments. See the reconciliation of FFO to net income above.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Over the long-term, we expect that a greater percentage of our distributions will be paid from cash flow from operations and FFO (except with respect to distributions related to sales of our assets and distributions related to the repayment of principal under investments we have made in mortgage and other loans). However, our operating performance cannot be accurately predicted and may deteriorate in the future due to numerous factors, including those discussed under “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Market Outlook - Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets” and “Results of Operations” herein, and the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC. Those factors include: the future operating performance of our investments in the existing real estate and financial environment; the success and economic viability of our tenants; the ability of our borrowers and their sponsors to continue to make their debt service payments and/or to repay their loans upon maturity; our ability to refinance existing indebtedness at comparable terms; changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt obligations; and the level of participation in our dividend reinvestment plan. In the event our FFO and/or cash flow from operations decrease in the future, the level of our distributions may also decrease. In addition, future distributions declared and paid may exceed FFO and/or cash flow from operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2012; however, we did adopt Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05) for which we have now included the presentation of other comprehensive income (loss) as its own statement following the consolidated statement of operations.
Subsequent Events
We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Distributions Paid
On April 13, 2012, we paid distributions of $10.6 million, which related to distributions declared for each day in the period from March 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012.
Distributions Declared
On May 9, 2012, our board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period from June 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012, which we expect to pay in July 2012, and distributions based on daily record dates for the period from July 1, 2012 through July 31, 2012, which we expect to pay in August 2012. Investors may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through our dividend reinvestment plan.
Distributions for these periods will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day during these periods at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day and equal a daily amount that, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 6.5% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share in our now terminated primary initial public offering or a 6.4% annualized rate based on our current estimated value per share of $10.11.
Second Amended and Restated Dividend Reinvestment Plan
On April 19, 2012, our board of directors approved a second amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan (the “Amended Dividend Reinvestment Plan”). Pursuant to the Amended Dividend Reinvestment Plan, the purchase price of shares of our common stock issued under the Amended Dividend Reinvestment Plan will be equal to 95% of the estimated value per share of our common stock, as determined by our advisor, or another firm chosen for that purpose.
34
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The current estimated value per share of our common stock is $10.11 and shares of our common stock issued under the Amended Dividend Reinvestment Plan will be issued for $9.60 per share until the estimated value per share of our common stock is updated. On December 19, 2011, our board of directors approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.11 based on the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities, or net asset value, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of September 30, 2011. For a full description of the methodologies used to value our assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of the estimated value per share, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 21, 2011. We currently expect to engage our advisor and/or an independent valuation firm to update the estimated value per share in December 2012, but are not required to update the estimated value per share more frequently than every 18 months. We will report the estimated value per share of our common stock in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC.
There were no other changes to the Amended Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Amended Dividend Reinvestment Plan will be effective for purchases under the plan on May 5, 2012.
AIP Fee Reimbursement Agreement
On April 19, 2012, we entered into a fee reimbursement agreement with the dealer manager pursuant to which we agreed to reimburse the dealer manager for certain fees and expenses it incurs for administering our participation in the DTCC Alternative Investment Product Platform (the “AIP Platform”) with respect to certain accounts of our investors serviced through the AIP Platform.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund the acquisition, expansion and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. We are also exposed to the effects of changes in interest rates as a result of our acquisitions and originations of mortgage and other loans. Our profitability and the value of our investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We have managed and will continue to manage interest rate risk by maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level. In addition, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, floors, and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest‑earning assets or interest‑bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for payments to holders of our common stock and that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments.
We borrow funds and make investments at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt or fixed rate real estate loans receivable unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. At March 31, 2012, the fair value and carrying value of our fixed rate real estate loans receivable were $386.6 million and $319.3 million, respectively. The fair value estimate of our real estate loans receivable is estimated using an internal valuation model that considers the expected cash flows for the loans, underlying collateral values (for collateral-dependent loans) and the estimated yield requirements of institutional investors for loans with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. At March 31, 2012, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $543.1 million and the carrying value of our fixed rate debt was $531.2 million. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated at March 31, 2012. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.
Conversely, movements in interest rates on our variable rate debt and loans receivable would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of floating rate instruments. At March 31, 2012, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $212.9 million of variable rate debt outstanding, after giving consideration to the impact of interest rate swap agreements on approximately $654.2 million of our variable rate debt. Based on interest rates as of March 31, 2012, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher during the 12 months ending March 31, 2013, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase by $1.6 million. As of March 31, 2012, one-month LIBOR was 0.241% and if this index was reduced to 0% during the 12 months ending March 31, 2013, interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease by $0.2 million. At March 31, 2012, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate loan receivable outstanding with an outstanding principal balance of $88.4 million. An increase or decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates would have no impact on our future earnings and cash flows due to an interest rate floor on our variable rate loan receivable.
The weighted-average annual effective interest rates of our fixed rate real estate loans receivable and variable rate real estate loan receivable at March 31, 2012 were 9.9% and 7.0%, respectively. The weighted-average annual effective interest rate represents the effective interest rate at March 31, 2012, using the interest method, that we use to recognize interest income on our real estate loans receivable. The weighted-average interest rates of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt at March 31, 2012 were 4.4% and 3.7%, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect at March 31, 2012 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of interest rate swaps and floors), using interest rate indices as of March 31, 2012 where applicable.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Please see the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
a) | During the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. |
b) | Not applicable. |
c) | We have a share redemption program, as amended and restated, that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances. |
Pursuant to the share redemption program, there are several limitations on our ability to redeem shares:
• | Unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder's death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined under the share redemption program), we may not redeem shares until the stockholder has held the shares for one year. |
• | During any calendar year, the share redemption program limits the number of shares we may redeem to those that we could purchase with the amount of the net proceeds from the issuance of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year. |
• | During any calendar year, we may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. |
• | We have no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. |
Pursuant to the share redemption program, once we have established an estimated value per share of our common stock that was not based on the price to acquire a share in our primary initial public offering or follow‑on offerings, the redemption price for all stockholders is equal to the estimated value per share. On December 19, 2011, our board of directors approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.11, based on the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of September 30, 2011. Therefore, effective commencing with the December 2011 redemption date and until the estimated value per share is updated, the redemption price for all stockholders whose shares are eligible for redemption is $10.11 per share. We currently expect to engage our advisor and/or an independent valuation firm to update our estimated value per share in December 2012, but we are not required to update our estimated value per share more frequently than every 18 months. For a full description of the methodologies used to value our assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of the estimated value per share, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K at Part II, Item 5, “Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities - Market Information.”
We may amend, suspend or terminate the program upon 30 days' notice to our stockholders. We may provide this notice by including such information in a Current Report on Form 8‑K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC, or by a separate mailing to our stockholders.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (continued)
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we fulfilled all redemption requests and redeemed shares pursuant to our share redemption program as follows:
Month | Total Number of Shares Redeemed (1) | Average Price Paid Per Share (2) | Approximate Dollar Value of Shares Available That May Yet Be Redeemed Under the Program | ||||||
January 2012 | 625,238 | $ | 10.11 | (3) | |||||

March 2012 | 761,232 | $ | 10.11 | (3) | |||||
Total | 2,089,718 |
(1) We announced the adoption and commencement of the program on April 8, 2008. We announced amendments to the program on May 13, 2009 (which amendment became effective on June 12, 2009) and on March 11, 2011 (which amendment became effective on April 10, 2011).
(2) On December 19, 2011, our board of directors approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.11, based on the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of September 30, 2011. Therefore, effective commencing with the December 2011 redemption date and until the estimated value per share is updated, the redemption price for all stockholders whose shares are eligible for redemption is $10.11 per share. We currently expect to engage our advisor and/or an independent valuation firm to update our estimated value per share in December 2012, but we are not required to update our estimated value per share more frequently than every 18 months.
(3) We limit the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the program as described above. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we redeemed $21.1 million of shares, which represented all redemption requests received in good order and eligible for redemption through the March 2012 redemption date. Based on the amount of net proceeds raised from the sale of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during 2011 and redemptions through the March 2012 redemption date, we have $46.7 million available for redemption in 2012.
