KBS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST II, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)
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 June 30, 2014, the Company owned 23 real estate properties (consisting of 17 office properties, one office/flex property, a portfolio of four industrial properties and an office campus consisting of eight office buildings) and two real estate loans receivable. As of June 30, 2014, six of the Company’s real estate properties were classified as held for sale.
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, 2014 (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. The Company terminated its dividend reinvestment plan effective May 29, 2014.
The Company sold 182,681,633 shares of common stock in its primary offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.8 billion. Through the termination of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan on May 29, 2014, the Company had sold 30,903,504 shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $298.2 million. Also as of June 30, 2014, the Company had redeemed 22,709,903 shares sold in the Offering for $227.1 million.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies, except for the addition of an accounting policy with respect to investments in marketable securities, since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-08 (defined below), which impacts the Company’s reporting of discontinued operations. 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, 2013 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 and condensed notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“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 six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)
KBS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST II, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
June 30, 2014
(unaudited)
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 and condensed notes thereto 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company sold three office properties, one industrial property and a leasehold interest in one industrial property and classified six office properties as held for sale. As a result, certain assets and liabilities were reclassified to held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.
Marketable Securities
The Company classifies its investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale, since the Company may sell them prior to their maturity but does not hold them principally for the purpose of making frequent investments and sales with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price. These investments are carried at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Estimated fair values are generally based on quoted market prices, when available, or on estimates provided by independent pricing sources or dealers who make markets in such securities. In certain circumstances, such as when the market for the securities becomes inactive, the Company may determine it is appropriate to perform an internal valuation of the securities. Upon the sale of a security, the previously recognized unrealized gain (loss) is reversed out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the actual realized gain (loss) is recognized in earnings.
On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its marketable securities for other-than-temporary impairment. The Company reviews the projected future cash flows from these securities for changes in assumptions due to prepayments, credit loss experience and other factors. If, based on the Company’s quarterly estimate of cash flows, there has been an adverse change in the estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously estimated, the present value of the revised cash flows is less than the present value previously estimated, and the fair value of the securities is less than their amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred.
The Company recognizes interest income on marketable securities that are beneficial interests in securitized financial assets and are rated “AA” and above on an accrual basis according to the contractual terms of the securities. Discounts or premiums are amortized to interest income over the life of the investment using the interest method.
The Company recognizes interest income on marketable securities that are beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that are rated below “AA” using the effective yield method, which requires the Company to periodically project estimated cash flows related to these securities and recognize interest income at an interest rate equivalent to the estimated yield on the security, as calculated using the security’s estimated cash flows and amortized cost basis, or reference amount. Changes in the estimated cash flows are recognized through an adjustment to the yield on the security on a prospective basis. Projecting cash flows for these types of securities requires significant judgment, which may have a significant impact on the timing of revenue recognized on these investments.

The Company is required to distinguish between other-than-temporary impairments related to credit and other-than-temporary impairments related to other factors (e.g., market fluctuations) on its debt securities that it does not intend to sell and where it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to the anticipated recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company calculates the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and the present value of its estimated cash flows discounted at the yield used to recognize interest income. The credit component will be charged to earnings and the component related to other factors is recorded to other comprehensive income (loss).
Redeemable Common Stock
On May 15, 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s share redemption program (the “Amended Share Redemption Program”) to provide only for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the Amended Share Redemption Program, and collectively “special redemptions”). During each calendar year, such special redemptions are limited to an annual dollar amount determined by the board of directors, which may be reviewed during the year and increased or decreased upon ten business days’ notice to the Company’s stockholders. The Company may provide notice by including such information (a) in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in its annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or (b) in a separate mailing to the stockholders.
Commencing with the June 2014 redemption date, the dollar amount limitation for special redemptions for the remainder of calendar year 2014 is $10.0 million in the aggregate, as may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time by the board of directors. Based on historical redemption data, the board of directors believes that the $10.0 million redemption limitation for the remainder of calendar year 2014 will be sufficient for these special redemptions. The Amended Share Redemption Program became effective on June 18, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $9.5 million available for special redemptions for the remainder of 2014. There were no other changes to the terms of special redemptions, and special redemptions will continue to be made at a price per share equal to the most recent estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock as of the applicable redemption date. The Company currently does not expect to make ordinary redemptions in the future.
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 six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Distributions declared per common share were $0.162 and $0.322 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $0.162 and $0.376 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Distributions declared per common share assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For each day that was a record date for distributions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, distributions were calculated at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day. Each day during the periods from January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014 and January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013 was a record date for distributions. Additionally, the Company’s board of directors declared a distribution in the amount of $0.05416667 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 4, 2013.
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 13, “Segment Information.”

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU No. 2014-08”). ASU No. 2014-08 limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: a) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale; b) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; and c) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale. ASU No. 2014-08 also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2014-08 for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2014. As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2014-08, results of operations for properties that are classified as held for sale in the ordinary course of business on or subsequent to January 1, 2014 would generally be included in continuing operations on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, to the extent such disposals did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation described above. Additionally, any gain or loss on sale of real estate that does not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation would be included in income from continuing operations on the consolidated statements of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU No. 2014-09”). ASU No. 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes the revenue requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. ASU No. 2014-09 does not apply to lease contracts within the scope of Leases (Topic 840). ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 to have an impact on its financial statements.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s portfolio of real estate held for investment was composed of 11 office properties, one office/flex property, a portfolio of four industrial properties and an office campus consisting of eight office buildings, encompassing in the aggregate approximately 7.4 million rentable square feet. For a discussion of the Company’s real estate properties held for sale, see Note 7, “Real Estate Held for Sale.” As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s real estate portfolio was 91% occupied. The following table summarizes the Company’s real estate portfolio held for investment as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Operating Leases
The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of June 30, 2014, the leases had remaining terms, excluding options to extend, of up to 15.3 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 4.2 years. Some of the leases have provisions to extend the term of the leases, options for early termination for all or part of the leased premises 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 a security deposit from the tenant in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. The amount required as a security deposit varies depending upon the terms of the respective lease and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally is not a significant amount. 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 $4.0 million and $4.6 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants, net of lease incentive amortization, of $3.7 million and $6.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the cumulative deferred rent balance was $37.7 million and $34.8 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included $3.6 million and $3.2 million of unamortized lease incentives as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

As of June 30, 2014, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):
July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 | $ | 73,819 | |
2015 | 142,631 | ||
2016 | 131,497 | ||
2017 | 116,845 | ||
2018 | 89,997 | ||
Thereafter | 231,537 | ||
$ | 786,326 |
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had over 300 tenants over a diverse range of industries and geographic areas. The Company’s highest tenant industry concentrations (greater than 10% of annualized base rent) were as follows:
Industry | Number of Tenants | Annualized Base Rent (1) (in thousands) | Percentage of Annualized Base Rent | ||||||
Finance | 42 | $ | 32,836 | 21.4 | % | ||||
Computer System Design & Programming | 12 | 25,000 | 16.3 | % | |||||
Legal Services | 50 | 20,268 | 13.2 | % | |||||
$ | 78,104 | 50.9 | % |
(1) Annualized base rent represents annualized contractual base rental income as of June 30, 2014, 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.
No other tenant industries accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent. No material tenant credit issues have been identified at this time. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a bad debt expense reserve of approximately $0.7 million, which represents less than 1% of its annualized base rent.
As of June 30, 2014, there were no leases that accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent.
Geographic Concentration Risk
As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s net investments in real estate in California and New Jersey represented 17.1% and 11.4% 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 California and New Jersey 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. Additionally, as of June 30, 2014, the Company owned one office property held for sale located in Chicago, Illinois which represented approximately 19.7% of the Company’s total assets and 20.0% of the Company’s total revenues. See Note 7, “Real Estate Held for Sale.”

As of June 30, 2014, the Company determined the fair value of its marketable securities to be $172.9 million, resulting in unrealized losses of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The cumulative unrealized loss of $0.1 million on the Company’s investments in marketable securities as of June 30, 2014 was not determined to be other-than-temporary because the Company did not experience an adverse change to its cash flow estimates for the securities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairments on its real estate securities. It is difficult to predict the timing or magnitude of other-than-temporary impairments and significant judgments are required in determining impairments, including, but not limited to, assumptions regarding estimated prepayments, losses and changes in interest rates. As a result, actual realized losses could materially differ from these estimates.

10. | 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 but one of the Company’s interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges.
The following table summarizes the notional amount and other information related to the Company’s interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The notional value is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in each instrument at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks (dollars in thousands):

(1) During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company terminated two interest rate swap agreements and paid an aggregate breakage fee of $0.2 million.
The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments as well as their classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (dollars in thousands):

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 comprehensive income (loss) and as other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. The Company recorded unrealized gains of $0.5 million and $1.7 million on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company recorded unrealized gains of $3.2 million and $4.5 million on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. 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 and $4.6 million of interest expense related to the effective portion of cash flow hedges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $2.5 million and $4.9 million of interest expense related to the effective portion of cash flow hedges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion is recognized directly in earnings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.9 million of unrealized swap losses as interest expense resulting from hedge ineffectiveness primarily due to the anticipated early repayment of debt in connection with asset sales and the Company dedesignating the hedge due to certain hedged forecasted transactions no longer being probable beyond the projected asset sale date. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, 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 interest expense related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges. The present value of the additional interest expense totaled $6.4 million as of June 30, 2014 and was included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized $0.4 million and $0.5 million of interest expense, respectively, related to swap terminations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.4 million of interest expense, respectively, related to swap terminations. With respect to swap agreements that were terminated for which it remains probable that the original hedged forecasted transactions (i.e., LIBOR-based debt service payments) will occur, the loss related to the termination of these swap agreements is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will be reclassified into earnings over the period of the original forecasted hedged transaction.
11. | 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 assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents, 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.
Marketable securities: The Company’s marketable securities are classified as available for sale. These securities are presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The fair values of the marketable securities were determined using quoted prices available in an active market for identical investments as of the reporting date. As such, the Company classifies these inputs as Level 1 inputs.
Derivative instruments: The Company’s derivative instruments are presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The valuation of these instruments is determined 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 risks 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.

Disclosure of the fair values of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company as of the period end 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.

The Company reimburses the Advisor for the Company’s allocable portion of the salaries, benefits and overhead of internal audit department personnel providing services to the Company. These amounts totaled $37,000 and $33,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $73,000 and $58,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and were the only type of employee costs reimbursed under the Advisory Agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company will not reimburse for employee costs in connection with services for which the Advisor earns acquisition, origination or disposition fees (other than reimbursement of travel and communication expenses) or for the salaries or benefits the Advisor or its affiliates may pay to the Company’s executive officers.
(2) Disposition fees with respect to real estate sold are included in the gain on sales of real estate in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
On July 29, 2010, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, KBSII 300 North LaSalle, LLC (the "Owner"), purchased the 300 N. LaSalle Building. On May 16, 2014, after a competitive bidding process overseen by HFF, Inc., an unaffiliated independent third party, the Owner entered into a purchase and sale agreement and escrow instructions for the sale of the 300 N. LaSalle Building to an affiliate of the Irvine Company, 300 North LaSalle LLC (the “Purchaser”). Donald Bren is the chairman and owner of the Purchaser and the Irvine Company and the brother of Peter Bren (one of the Company’s executive officers and sponsors). On July 7, 2014, the Company completed the sale of the 300 N. LaSalle Building to the Purchaser for $850.0 million. See Note 15, “Subsequent Events - 300 N. LaSalle Building.”

13. | 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 and an A-Note. All revenues earned from the Company’s two reporting segments were from external customers and there were no intersegment sales or transfers. The Company does not allocate corporate-level accounts to its reporting 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 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 any of these 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 June 30, 2014.
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 the Company’s 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.
15. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Distributions Declared
On July 8, 2014, the Company’s board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period from August 1, 2014 through August 31, 2014, which the Company expects to pay in September 2014. Distributions for this period will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day during this period 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 6.3% annualized rate based on the Company’s December 18, 2013 estimated value per share of $10.29.
On July 8, 2014, the Company’s board of directors declared a distribution in the amount of $3.75 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2014. Also, on August 5, 2014, the Company’s board of directors declared a distribution in the amount of $0.30 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2014. The Company expects to pay these distributions, for an aggregate amount of $4.05 per share of common stock, on or about September 23, 2014. These distributions will be funded from the Company’s proceeds from the disposition of real estate properties between May 2014 and July 2014 as well as cash on hand resulting from the repayment or sale of four real estate loans receivable during 2013 and 2014.
Dispositions of Real Estate Properties Subsequent to June 30, 2014
300 N. LaSalle Building
On July 29, 2010, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, purchased a 60-story office building containing 1,302,901 rentable square feet located on approximately 1.2 acres of land in Chicago, Illinois (the “300 N. LaSalle Building”).

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:
• | 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/or 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-sponsored programs and KBS-advised investors and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions. |
• | We pay substantial fees to and expenses of our advisor and its affiliates. 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 may use proceeds from financings, if necessary, to fund a portion of our distributions during our operational stage. We also expect to fund other distributions from the net proceeds from the sale of real estate and from the receipt of principal payments from, or the sale of, our real estate-related loans receivable. |
• | We depend on tenants for the revenue generated by our real estate investments and, accordingly, the revenue generated by our real estate investments is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from our properties could decrease due to a reduction in occupancy (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 and mortgage loans 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. |
• | Disruptions in the financial markets and uncertain economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to implement our business strategy and generate returns to our stockholders. |
• | Certain of our debt obligations have variable interest rates and related payments that vary with the movement of LIBOR or other indexes. Increases in these indexes could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. |
• | Our share redemption program provides only for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program document, collectively “special redemptions”). The dollar amounts available for such redemptions are determined by the board of directors and may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time. Additionally, redemptions are further subject to limitations described in our share redemption program. We currently do not expect to have funds available for ordinary redemptions in the future. |
29
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
• | Since we have terminated our dividend reinvestment plan, we may have to use a greater proportion of our cash flow from operations to meet cash requirements for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs and leasing costs related to our real estate properties; reserves required by financings of our real estate properties; the repayment of debt; and the repurchase of shares under our share redemption program that meet the requirements for special redemptions. This may reduce cash available for distributions. |
• | Between June 30, 2014 and August 4, 2014, we sold three properties with an aggregate net book value of $693.8 million, and as of August 4, 2014, we had classified three properties with an aggregate net book value of $272.6 million as of June 30, 2014 as held for sale. As a result, our general and administrative expenses, which are not directly related to the size of our portfolio, will increase as a percentage of our cash flow from operations and this increase could be significant. |
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Overview
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 continue 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 June 30, 2014, we owned 23 real estate properties (consisting of 17 office properties, one office/flex property, a portfolio of four industrial properties and an office campus consisting of eight office buildings) and two real estate loans receivable. As of June 30, 2014, six of our real estate properties were classified as held for sale. See “– Subsequent Events.”
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 the primary offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.8 billion. We terminated the offering under our dividend reinvestment plan effective May 29, 2014. Through May 29, 2014, we sold 30,903,504 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $298.2 million. Also as of June 30, 2014, we had redeemed 22,709,903 shares sold in our offering for $227.1 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.
In the wake of the sub-par recovery of the U.S. economy, and despite recent improvements regarding the pace of job growth, concerns persist regarding income growth and the overall economic health of domestic consumers, businesses and governments. The federal government has employed an array of fiscal and monetary policies to attempt to help get the U.S. economy onto a sound and sustainable growth path. The road to recovery has been anything but consistent.
In February of 2014, Congress ended a lengthy dispute with the White House and unconditionally extended the government’s borrowing limit until March 2015. While this action should provide some measure of stability, the federal government is still facing major policy issues, including passage of a federal budget. The federal government is currently working from a modified sequestration budget that was not intended to be a long-term solution.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The Federal Reserve has maintained an accommodative monetary policy since the introduction of quantitative easing (“QE”) in October of 2008. The Federal Reserve injected trillions of U.S. dollars into the global financial markets through the purchases of U.S. treasury bonds and mortgage backed securities. At this point in time, it is unclear what the final cost or impact of this program will be. In December 2013, the speculation as to the possible end of QE programs finally ended with the announcement by the Federal Reserve of the tapering of government purchases of U.S. treasury securities and U.S. agency mortgages. In July of 2014, the Federal Reserve announced plans to end the purchase of securities by October of 2014.
Despite cuts to federal government spending, U.S. gross domestic product (“U.S. GDP”) has continued to grow at moderate level. In the third quarter of 2013, U.S. GDP increased at an annual rate of 4.5%, which was followed by fourth quarter U.S. GDP growth of 3.5%. First quarter U.S. GDP reflects a step back as a severe winter has been blamed for a decrease in U.S. GDP of 2.1%. Consensus expectations are for a rebound in U.S. economic growth as employment numbers and corporate earnings strength indicate that the U.S. economy is healthy and growing. The initial estimate of second quarter 2014 reflects an annual rate increase in U.S. GDP of 4.0%.
The U.S. dollar has remained a safe haven currency and the U.S. commercial property markets have benefited from an inflow of foreign capital. Initially, gateway markets such as New York City and San Francisco benefited from a strong bid for commercial properties. In 2014, the commercial real estate market recovery began to spread to secondary markets. Over the past two years, transaction volumes increased and the re-emergence of the CMBS market and the availability of debt capital have contributed to the ongoing economic recovery. This trend continued into 2014 and the U.S. commercial real estate market gained favor as an alternative investment. Looking forward, however, the recovery in commercial real estate is expected to remain uneven across geographies and among property types.
The U.S. residential real estate market has been recovering. Low interest rates, pent-up demand from the consumer sector and the introduction of institutional investors in the form of buy-to-rent portfolios have all contributed to a broad recovery of home prices. Some markets have recovered to prices above pre-recession levels, but the majority of U.S. housing markets still have not recaptured the equity lost as a result of the recent recession. Impediments to a continued recovery in this market include more stringent underwriting standards for borrowers, a slowdown in demand by institutional investors and a lack of supply of affordable housing for entry level purchasers. In addition, as referenced above, the Federal Reserve’s QE program, which peaked at $85 billion a month in purchases of long-term treasury securities and mortgage backed securities, is slowly being scaled down and is scheduled to end in October of 2014. It is anticipated that the removal of the Federal Reserve’s purchases in the mortgage backed securities market will contribute to increases in the cost of future mortgage financing.
In Europe, concerns remain regarding the economic burden of sovereign debt and the pace of economic recovery. 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 potential negative impact on the global financial markets remain of concern. The uncertainty surrounding the size of the problem and how regulators and governments intend to remedy the situation has caused many investors to reassess their pricing of sovereign risks. Europe has benefited from statements made by the European Central Bank which affirm the bank’s commitment to provide substantial support for the European banking system.
The global rating agencies continue to be vigilant in their analysis of the health of the global financial markets. In November 2012, Moody’s downgraded France’s sovereign debt rating to Aa1 from AAA and, in February 2013, Moody’s downgraded the U.K. government debt to Aa1 from AAA as well. In the past two years, Asia also has seen a number of ratings downgrades, with Fitch downgrading Japan to A+ in May of 2012 and China to A+ in April of 2013. The global ratings agencies continue to have a number of sovereign issuers on negative watch as governments have struggled to resolve their budget issues and face growing debt obligations. Beginning in late 2013, these credit issues shifted away from the European sovereign credits to Asia and to some emerging market nations, such as Turkey, Russia, South America, Brazil and Argentina.
Overall, despite indications of recovery both in the United States and abroad, uncertainties abound. China’s export-based economy slowed and Japan embarked upon a large scale QE program of its own in 2013. In the United States, the Federal Reserve announced the tapering of the current QE program which, when combined with the adversarial political climate at the federal level, has led to high levels of uncertainty and increased volatility in the capital markets. In the short-term, 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
The economic events that have occurred since the onset of the recession in 2008 have no precedent. While current forecasts for the U.S. economy are positive, there is a level of uncertainty inherent to this outlook. Currently, both the investing and leasing environments are highly competitive. While there has been an increase in the amount of capital flowing into the U.S. real estate markets, which has resulted in an increase in real estate values in certain markets, the uncertainty regarding the economic environment has made businesses reluctant to make long-term commitments or changes in their business plans. Possible future declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows. Historically low interest rates could help offset some of the impact of these potential 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 remaining life of many of our investments. Interest rates have become more volatile as the capital markets have begun to react to the announced end of QE in October 2014.
Impact on Our Real Estate-Related Investments
All of our real estate-related investments are directly secured by commercial real estate. As a result, our real estate-related investments in general have been and likely will continue to be impacted by the same factors impacting our real estate investments. The relatively high yields and the improving credit position of many U.S. tenants and borrowers have attracted global capital. However, the real estate and capital markets are fluid and the positive trends can reverse quickly. Economic conditions remain relatively unstable and can have a negative impact on the performance of collateral securing our loan investments, and therefore may impact the ability of some borrowers under our loans to make contractual interest payments to us.
As of June 30, 2014, we had fixed-rate real estate loans receivable with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $73.2 million and an aggregate carrying value (including origination and closing costs) of $73.2 million that mature between 2017 and 2018.
Impact on Our Financing Activities
In light of the risks associated with potentially volatile operating cash flows from some of our real estate properties, we may have difficulty refinancing some of our debt obligations prior to or at maturity or we may not be able to refinance these obligations at terms as favorable as the terms of our existing indebtedness. Recent financial market conditions have improved from the bottom of the economic cycle, but material risks are still present. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of our investments.
As of June 30, 2014, we had debt obligations in the aggregate principal amount of $1.4 billion, all of which have an initial maturity between 2015 and 2020. We have a total of $556.1 million of fixed rate notes payable and $802.3 million of variable rate notes payable. The interest rates on $613.5 million of our variable rate notes payable are effectively fixed through interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2014, we did not have any debt obligations scheduled to mature within 12 months of that date.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for funds during the short- and long-term are and will be for: the payment of operating expenses, capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses; payments under debt obligations; special redemptions of common stock pursuant to our share redemption program; and payments of distributions to stockholders. To date, we have had five 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 (which terminated effective May 29, 2014); |
• | Debt financings; |
• | Proceeds from the sale of real estate and the repayment or sale of real estate-related investments; and |
• | Cash flow generated by our real estate operations and real estate-related investments. |

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
We ceased offering shares of common stock in our primary offering on December 31, 2010 and terminated our dividend reinvestment plan effective May 29, 2014. 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 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 June 30, 2014, we had an aggregate of $132.7 million available for future disbursements under three credit facilities, subject to certain conditions and restrictions set forth in the respective loan agreements.
In connection with the termination of our dividend reinvestment plan, on May 15, 2014, our board of directors approved the amendment and restatement of our share redemption program (as amended and restated the “Amended Share Redemption Program”) to provide only for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the Amended Share Redemption Program, and collectively “special redemptions”). Commencing with the June 2014 redemption date, the dollar amount limitation for special redemptions for the remainder of calendar year 2014 is $10.0 million in the aggregate, as may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time by our board of directors. Based on historical redemption data, our board of directors believes that the $10.0 million redemption limitation for the remainder of calendar year 2014 will be sufficient for these special redemptions. As of June 30, 2014, we had $9.5 million available for these special redemptions for the remainder of 2014. During each calendar year, such special redemptions are limited to an annual dollar amount determined by the board of directors, which may be reviewed during the year and increased or decreased upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. The Amended Share Redemption Program became effective on June 18, 2014. There were no other changes to the terms of special redemptions, and special redemptions will continue to be made at a price per share equal to the most recent estimated value per share of our common stock as of the applicable redemption date. We currently do not expect to make ordinary redemptions in the future.
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, the payment of asset management fees and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from our 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 June 30, 2014, our real estate held for investment was 91% 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, the payment of asset management fees and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from our real estate-related investments is primarily dependent on the operating performance of the underlying collateral and the borrower’s ability to make debt service payments. As of June 30, 2014, the borrowers under our real estate loans receivable were current on their debt service payments to us.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we sold five properties and classified six office properties with an aggregate net book value of $965.5 million as held for sale.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our cash needs for capital expenditures and the payment of debt obligations were met with the proceeds from the payoff or sale of real estate loans receivable and proceeds from asset sales. 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 six months ended June 30, 2014 using current period cash flows from operations, proceeds from payoff or sale of our real estate loans receivable and proceeds from asset sales. We believe that our cash on hand, cash flow from operations, availability under our credit facilities, proceeds from asset sales and the repayment of our real estate loans receivable will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
Between June 30, 2014 and August 4, 2014, we sold three properties with an aggregate net book value of $693.8 million. As of August 4, 2014, we had classified three properties with an aggregate net book value of $272.6 million as of June 30, 2014 as held for sale. On July 8, 2014, our board of directors declared a distribution in the amount of $3.75 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2014. Also, on August 5, 2014, our board of directors declared a distribution in the amount of $0.30 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2014. We expect to pay these distributions, for an aggregate amount of $4.05 per share of common stock, on or about September 23, 2014. These distributions will be funded from our proceeds from the dispositions of real estate properties between May 2014 and July 2014 as well as cash on hand resulting from the repayment or sale of four real estate loans receivable during 2013 and 2014. These special distributions will constitute a return of a portion of the stockholders’ invested capital for federal income tax purposes. Each stockholder is urged to consult his or her tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of our distributions in light of his or her particular investment or tax circumstances.
33
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
These distributions will reduce our estimated value per share and this reduction will be reflected in our updated estimated value per share, which we expect to update in September 2014, essentially concurrently with the distributions. Our cash flow from operations will decrease as a result of our disposition activity, and we will adjust our distribution policy with respect to the amount of monthly distribution payments to take into account our current real estate investments. We may continue to make strategic asset sales as opportunities become available in the market.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
As of June 30, 2014, we owned 23 real estate properties (consisting of 17 office properties, one office/flex property, a portfolio consisting of four industrial properties and an office campus consisting of eight office buildings) and two real estate loans receivable. As of June 30, 2014, six of our real estate properties, with an aggregate net book value of $965.5 million, were classified as held for sale. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was $58.3 million, compared to $63.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Net cash from operations decreased in 2014 primarily as a result of asset sales and the payoff or sale of real estate loans receivable. We anticipate additional asset sales in the future.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $175.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and primarily consisted of the following:
• | $247.9 million of proceeds from the sale of three office properties, one industrial property and a leasehold interest in one industrial property; |
• | $173.0 million used for investments in marketable securities; |
• | $111.7 million of proceeds from the payoff or sale of three real estate loans receivable; and |
• | $11.5 million used for improvements to real estate. |
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash used in financing activities was $240.6 million and consisted primarily of the following:
• | $163.0 million of principal payments on notes payable; |
• | $42.2 million of cash used for redemptions of common stock; and |
• | $35.4 million of net cash distributions, after giving effect to distributions reinvested by stockholders of $26.9 million. |
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 paid our advisor fees in connection with the acquisition and origination of our assets and 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. Among the fees payable to our advisor is an asset management fee. With respect to investments in real estate, we pay our advisor a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the amount paid or allocated to acquire the investment, plus the cost of any subsequent development, construction or improvements to the property. This amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition fees and expenses related thereto. In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee will be determined based on our proportionate share of the underlying investment. With respect to investments in loans and any investments other than real estate, we pay our advisor a monthly asset management fee calculated, each month, as one-twelfth of 0.75% of the lesser of (i) the amount paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment (which amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition or origination fees and expenses related thereto) and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, plus the acquisition or origination fees and expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment, as of the time of calculation. We also reimbursed our advisor and our dealer manager for certain offering costs related to our dividend reinvestment plan (which terminated on May 29, 2014) and will continue to reimburse our advisor and our dealer manager for certain stockholder services.
As of June 30, 2014, we had $167.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and up to $132.7 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 addition, as of June 30, 2014, we had $173.0 million invested in liquid marketable securities.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
In order to execute our investment strategy, we primarily utilized 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 June 30, 2014, our borrowings and other liabilities were approximately 46% of both the cost (before depreciation or other noncash reserves) and book value (before depreciation) of our tangible assets, respectively.

We incurred interest expense of $27.0 million, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs totaling $2.8 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
(3) Amounts include outstanding debt obligations related to the six office properties with an aggregate net book value of $965.5 million classified held for sale as of June 30, 2014. The outstanding principal balances will be paid off upon the sale of these real estate properties.
Results of Operations
Overview
As of June 30, 2013, we owned 20 office properties, one office/flex property, a portfolio of four industrial properties, an office campus consisting of eight office buildings, one individual industrial property, a leasehold interest in one industrial property and seven real estate loans receivable. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, we sold three office properties, one industrial property and a leasehold interest in one industrial property. As a result, as of June 30, 2014, including real estate properties that were classified as held for sale, we owned 17 office properties, one office/flex property, a portfolio of four industrial properties, an office campus consisting of eight office buildings and two real estate loans receivable. The results of operations presented for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are not directly comparable due to the dispositions of real estate properties and payoff or sale of five real estate loans receivable subsequent to June 30, 2013. In general, we expect income and expenses to decrease in future periods due to disposition activity.

(1) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 related to investments disposed of on or after April 1, 2013.
(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 related to real estate and real estate-related investments owned by us throughout both periods presented.
Rental income and tenant reimbursements decreased from $82.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $77.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to asset sales, a decrease in deferred rental income recognized related to held for sale or sold real estate properties and a decrease in occupancy with respect to one of our real estate properties held for investment. Under GAAP, we are required to recognize contractual lease payments on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease, typically resulting in the recognition of additional rental income related to future contractual rent increases. Upon classifying a property as held for sale, we only recognize contractual rent, which may result in the reduction of rental revenues. Overall, we expect rental income and tenant reimbursements to decrease in future periods due to assets sold and anticipated asset sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, rental income and tenant reimbursements from our real estate properties sold or held for sale were $35.0 million and $37.5 million, respectively.
Interest income from our real estate loans receivable, recognized using the interest method, decreased from $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the payoff or sale of real estate loans receivable subsequent to June 30, 2013. Interest income included $1.2 million and $0.1 million in accretion of purchase price discounts, net of amortization of closing costs, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively. Interest income from real estate loans receivable in future periods compared to historical periods will decrease as a result of the potential impact of future principal repayments or sales of our real estate loans receivable.
Operating, maintenance and management costs increased from $16.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $16.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to higher utility costs and repair and maintenance costs with respect to properties held throughout both periods, partially offset by a decrease due to the disposition of real estate properties subsequent to June 30, 2013. Operating, maintenance and management costs may increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of inflation. Overall, we expect operating, maintenance and management costs overall to decrease in future periods due to assets sold and anticipated asset sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, operating, maintenance and management costs from our real estate properties sold or held for sale were $6.8 million and $6.4 million, respectively.
36
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Real estate taxes and insurance decreased from $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease is primarily related to reassessments of property values in 2014. We expect real estate taxes and insurance to decrease in future periods due to assets sold and anticipated asset sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, real estate taxes and insurance from our real estate properties sold or held for sale were $6.6 million and $7.1 million, respectively.
Asset management fees with respect to our real estate and real estate-related investments decreased from $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, due to the disposition of real estate properties and the payoff or sale of real estate loans receivable subsequent to June 30, 2013. All asset management fees incurred as of June 30, 2014 have been paid. We expect asset management fees to decrease in future periods due to anticipated asset sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, asset management fees from our real estate properties held for sale or sold were $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization decreased from $30.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $18.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 due to the disposition of real estate properties subsequent to June 30, 2013 and real estate properties classified as held for sale. Upon classifying a property as held for sale, we cease depreciation and amortization expense for that property. We expect depreciation and amortization to decrease in future periods due to assets sold and anticipated asset sales and to an overall decrease in amortization of tenant origination costs related to lease expirations. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, depreciation and amortization from our real estate properties sold or held for sale was $0.5 million and $12.5 million, respectively.
Interest expense decreased from $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $15.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.8 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to an overall decrease to the average loan balance of our existing notes payable partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to the payments of termination fees for the real estate properties sold during the three months ended June 30, 2014. In general, we expect interest expense to decrease in future periods due to debt repayments related to assets sold and anticipated asset sales, which may be offset by certain fees and costs that may be incurred due to the prepayment of certain loans. Our interest expense in future periods will also vary based on fluctuations in one-month LIBOR (for our variable rate debt, to the extent that such variable rate debt is not subject to an interest rate swap agreement) and our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of debt financing, draws on our credit facilities and any debt repayments we make. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, interest expense from our real estate properties sold or held for sale was $7.8 million and $6.8 million, respectively.
We recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $46.6 million related to the disposition of three office properties, one industrial property and a leasehold interest in one industrial property during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

(1) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 related to investments acquired or disposed of on or after January 1, 2013.
(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 related to real estate and real estate-related investments owned by us throughout both periods presented.
Rental income and tenant reimbursements increased from $158.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $159.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase of $4.9 million due to an acquisition of an office campus in March 2013, offset by a decrease of $1.0 million due to asset sales and a decrease of $2.2 million related to properties held throughout both periods. Rental revenues related to properties held throughout both periods decreased due to a decrease in deferred rental income recognized related to real estate properties sold or held for sale and a decrease in occupancy with respect to one of our real estate properties held for investment. Under GAAP, we are required to recognize contractual lease payments on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease, typically resulting in the recognition of additional rental income related to future contractual rent increases. Upon classifying a property as held for sale, we only recognize contractual rent, which may result in the reduction of rental revenues. The decrease in rental income from properties held throughout both periods was partially offset by an increase in tenant reimbursements due to higher property tax recoveries and monthly operating expense recoveries. Overall, we expect rental income and tenant reimbursements to decrease in future periods due to assets sold and anticipated asset sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, rental income and tenant reimbursements from our real estate properties sold or held for sale were $73.1 million and $74.5 million, respectively.
Interest income from our real estate loans receivable, recognized using the interest method, decreased from $16.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the payoff or sale of real estate loans receivable subsequent to June 30, 2013, partially offset by a prepayment fee received for the early repayment of a note receivable. Interest income included $2.4 million and $0.1 million in accretion of purchase price discounts, net of amortization of closing costs, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively. Interest income from real estate loans receivable in future periods compared to historical periods will decrease as a result of the potential impact of future principal repayments or sales of our real estate loans receivable.

Operating, maintenance and management costs increased from $32.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $35.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase primarily was due to higher snow removal costs, repair and maintenance costs, utility costs and lease termination fees. Operating, maintenance and management costs may increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of inflation. Overall, we expect operating, maintenance and management costs overall to decrease in future periods due to assets sold and anticipated asset sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, operating, maintenance and management costs from our real estate properties sold or held for sale were $14.4 million and $13.1 million, respectively.
Real estate taxes and insurance increased from $23.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of an office campus in March 2013. We expect real estate taxes and insurance to decrease in future periods due to assets sold and anticipated asset sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, real estate taxes and insurance from our real estate properties sold or held for sale were $13.2 million and $13.4 million, respectively.
Asset management fees with respect to our real estate and real estate-related investments decreased from $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, due to the disposition of real estate properties and the payoff or sale of real estate loans receivable subsequent to June 30, 2013, partially offset by an increase in asset management fees as a result of the acquisition of an office campus in March 2013. All asset management fees incurred as of June 30, 2014 have been paid. We expect asset management fees to decrease in future periods due to anticipated asset sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, asset management fees from our real estate properties sold or held for sale were $4.8 million and $4.9 million, respectively.
Real estate acquisition fees and expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates were $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and related to the acquisition of an office campus in March 2013. We did not incur any real estate acquisition fees and expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2014. We do not expect to incur real estate acquisition fees and expenses in the future.
Depreciation and amortization decreased from $60.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $47.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to the disposition of real estate properties subsequent to June 30, 2013 and real estate properties classified as held for sale. Upon classifying a property as held for sale, we cease depreciation and amortization expense for that property. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization as a result of the acquisition of an office campus in March 2013. We expect depreciation and amortization to decrease in future periods due to assets sold and anticipated asset sales and to an overall decrease in amortization of tenant origination costs related to lease expirations. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, depreciation and amortization from our real estate properties sold or held for sale was $11.4 million and $24.9 million, respectively.
Interest expense decreased from $31.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $29.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.6 million and $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to an overall decrease to the average loan balance of our existing notes payable related to properties held throughout both periods, partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to increased borrowings in connection with the acquisition of an office campus in March 2013 and the payments of termination fees for the real estate properties sold during the six months ended June 30, 2014. In general, we expect interest expense to decrease in future periods due to debt repayments related to assets sold and anticipated asset sales, which may be offset by certain fees and costs that may be incurred due to the prepayment of certain loans. Our interest expense in future periods will also vary based on fluctuations in one-month LIBOR (for our variable rate debt, to the extent that such variable rate debt is not subject to an interest rate swap agreement) and our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of debt financing, draws on our credit facilities and any debt repayments we make. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, interest expense from our real estate properties sold or held for sale was $15.2 million and $13.7 million, respectively.
We recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $46.6 million related to the disposition of three office properties, one industrial property and a leasehold interest in one industrial property during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 provides a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities, and when compared year over year, FFO reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income or loss.
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. Items such as acquisition fees and expenses, which had previously been capitalized prior to 2009, are currently expensed and accounted for as operating expenses. 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. 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.
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. Management believes that excluding acquisition costs from MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the portfolio over time, including periods after our acquisition stage. 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 provides comparability in evaluating the operating performance of our portfolio with other non-traded REITs which typically have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies. MFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by non-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.
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; however, neither FFO nor MFFO reflect adjustments for the operations of properties and real estate-related investments sold or held for sale during the periods presented. During periods of significant disposition activity, FFO and MFFO are much more limited measures of future performance and dividend sustainability. In connection with our presentation of FFO and MFFO, we are providing information related to the proportion of MFFO related to properties and real estate-related investments sold or held for sale as of June 30, 2014.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of straight-line rent, the amortization of above- and below-market leases, the amortization of discounts and closing costs, prepayment fees received on notes receivable 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 expect to receive in a future period or rent that was received in a prior period; |
• | Amortization of above- and below-market leases. Similar to depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and lease related costs that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangible lease assets and liabilities diminishes predictably over time and requires that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since real estate values and market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with local market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economics of the real estate; |
• | 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 below). We believe excluding these items provides investors with a useful supplemental metric that directly addresses core operating performance; |
• | Prepayment fees received on notes receivable. Prepayment fees related to notes receivable are included in interest income from real estate loans receivable. Although these amounts increase net income, we exclude them from MFFO to more appropriately present the ongoing operating performance of our real estate-related investments on a comparative basis; and |
• | Acquisition fees and expenses. Acquisition fees and expenses related to the acquisition of real estate 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 fees and expenses 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
Distributions declared, distributions paid and cash flow from operations were as follows for the first and second quarters of 2014 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(1) Distributions for the period from January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014 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 period presented.
(3) Distributions generally are paid on a monthly basis. In general, distributions declared for all record dates of a given month are paid on or about the first business day of the following month.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we paid aggregate distributions of $62.3 million, including $35.4 million of distributions paid in cash and $26.9 million of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan (which terminated effective May 29, 2014). FFO and cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $71.9 million and $58.3 million, respectively. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with $58.3 million of current period operating cash flows, and $4.0 million of operating cash flows in excess of distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2013. 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.
With the exception of distributions funded from proceeds from the dispositions of our real estate properties or the sale or repayment of our real estate-related loans, substantially all of our distributions have been paid from cash flow from operations and FFO from current or prior periods. We expect to continue to declare distributions based on the ongoing cash flow from operations and FFO from our remaining investments and will adjust our distribution amounts to reflect the decrease in cash flow from operations and FFO as a result of our disposition activity. In addition, future distributions declared and paid may exceed FFO and/or cash flow from operations.
Between June 30, 2014 and August 4, 2014, we sold three properties with an aggregate net book value of $693.8 million. As of August 4, 2014, we had classified three properties with an aggregate net book value of $272.6 million as of June 30, 2014 as held for sale. On July 8, 2014, our board of directors declared a distribution in the amount of $3.75 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2014. Also, on August 5, 2014, our board of directors declared a distribution in the amount of $0.30 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2014. We expect to pay these distributions, for an aggregate amount of $4.05 per share of common stock, on or about September 23, 2014. These distributions will be funded from our proceeds from the dispositions of real estate properties between May 2014 and July 2014 as well as cash on hand resulting from the repayment or sale of four real estate loans receivable during 2013 and 2014. These special distributions will constitute a return of a portion of the stockholders’ invested capital for federal income tax purposes. Each stockholder is urged to consult his or her tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of our distributions in light of his or her particular investment or tax circumstances.
These distributions will reduce our estimated value per share and this reduction will be reflected in our updated estimated value per share, which we expect to update in September 2014, essentially concurrently with the distributions. Our cash flow from operations will decrease as a result of our disposition activity, and we will adjust our distribution policy with respect to the amount of monthly distribution payments to take into account our current real estate investments. We may continue to make strategic asset sales as opportunities become available in the market.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Our operating performance and ability to pay distributions from the disposition of our assets 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,” “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Results of Operations” herein, and the risks discussed in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, each 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; our ability to successfully dispose of some of our assets; and the sources and amounts of cash we have available for distributions.
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, 2013 filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2014, except for the addition of an accounting policy with respect to investments in marketable securities as follows:
Marketable Securities
We classify our investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale, since we may sell them prior to their maturity but do not hold them principally for the purpose of making frequent investments and sales with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price. These investments are carried at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Estimated fair values are generally based on quoted market prices, when available, or on estimates provided by independent pricing sources or dealers who make markets in such securities. In certain circumstances, such as when the market for the securities becomes inactive, we may determine it is appropriate to perform an internal valuation of the securities. Upon the sale of a security, the previously recognized unrealized gain (loss) is reversed out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the actual realized gain (loss) is recognized in earnings.
On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our marketable securities for other-than-temporary impairment. We review the projected future cash flows from these securities for changes in assumptions due to prepayments, credit loss experience and other factors. If, based on our quarterly estimate of cash flows, there has been an adverse change in the estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously estimated, the present value of the revised cash flows is less than the present value previously estimated, and the fair value of the securities is less than their amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred.
We recognize interest income on marketable securities that are beneficial interests in securitized financial assets and are rated “AA” and above on an accrual basis according to the contractual terms of the securities. Discounts or premiums are amortized to interest income over the life of the investment using the interest method.
We recognize interest income on marketable securities that are beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that are rated below “AA” using the effective yield method, which requires us to periodically project estimated cash flows related to these securities and recognize interest income at an interest rate equivalent to the estimated yield on the security, as calculated using the security’s estimated cash flows and amortized cost basis, or reference amount. Changes in the estimated cash flows are recognized through an adjustment to the yield on the security on a prospective basis. Projecting cash flows for these types of securities requires significant judgment, which may have a significant impact on the timing of revenue recognized on these investments.
44
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
We are required to distinguish between other-than-temporary impairments related to credit and other-than-temporary impairments related to other factors (e.g., market fluctuations) on our debt securities that we do not intend to sell and where it is not likely that we will be required to sell the security prior to the anticipated recovery of its amortized cost basis. We calculate the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and the present value of its estimated cash flows discounted at the yield used to recognize interest income. The credit component will be charged to earnings and the component related to other factors is recorded to other comprehensive income (loss).
Subsequent Events
We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Distributions Paid
On July 1, 2014, we paid distributions of $10.2 million, which related to distributions declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from June 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014. On August 1, 2014, we paid distributions of $10.5 million, which related to distributions declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from July 1, 2014 through July 31, 2014.
Distributions Declared
On July 8, 2014, our board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period from August 1, 2014 through August 31, 2014, which we expect to pay in September 2014. Distributions for this period will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day during this period 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 6.3% annualized rate based on our December 18, 2013 estimated value per share of $10.29.
On July 8, 2014, our board of directors also declared a distribution in the amount of $3.75 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2014. Also, on August 5, 2014, our board of directors declared a distribution in the amount of $0.30 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2014. We expect to pay these distributions, for an aggregate amount of $4.05 per share of common stock, on or about September 23, 2014. These distributions will be funded from our proceeds from the dispositions of real estate properties between May 2014 and July 2014 as well as cash on hand resulting from the repayment or sale of four real estate loans receivable during 2013 and 2014.
Dispositions of Real Estate Properties Subsequent to June 30, 2014
300 N. LaSalle Building
On July 29, 2010, we, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, purchased a 60-story office building containing 1,302,901 rentable square feet located on approximately 1.2 acres of land in Chicago, Illinois (the “300 N. LaSalle Building”). On May 16, 2014, after a competitive bidding process overseen by HFF, Inc., an unaffiliated independent third party, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement and escrow instructions for the sale of the 300 N. LaSalle Building to an affiliate of the Irvine Company, 300 North LaSalle LLC (the “Purchaser”). Donald Bren is the chairman and owner of the Purchaser and the Irvine Company and the brother of Peter Bren (one of our executive officers and sponsors). On July 7, 2014, we completed the sale of the 300 N. LaSalle Building, which had a net book value of $590.7 million as of the date of sale, to the Purchaser for $850.0 million. In connection with the disposition of the 300 N. LaSalle Building, we repaid the entire $344.6 million principal balance and all other sums due under a mortgage loan secured by the 300 N. LaSalle Building, including a repayment penalty of $13.7 million.

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, related to our real estate and real estate-related investment portfolio, and to fund our operations. 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 of distributions to our stockholders and that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments.
We borrow funds and made real estate-related 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. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value and carrying value of our fixed rate real estate loans receivable were $73.8 million and $73.2 million, respectively. The fair value estimate of our real estate loans receivable is calculated 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. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $570.8 million and the carrying value of our fixed rate debt was $556.1 million. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt is calculated 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 as of June 30, 2014. 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 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. As of June 30, 2014, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $188.8 million of variable rate debt outstanding, after giving consideration to the impact of interest rate swap agreements on approximately $613.5 million of our variable rate debt. Based on interest rates as of June 30, 2014, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher during the 12 months ending June 30, 2015, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase by $1.9 million. As of June 30, 2014, one-month LIBOR was 0.1552% and if this index was reduced to 0% during the 12 months ending June 30, 2015, interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease by $0.3 million.
The weighted-average annual effective interest rate of our fixed rate real estate loans receivable as of June 30, 2014 was 7.6%. The weighted-average annual effective interest rate represents the effective interest rate as of June 30, 2014, using the interest method, which 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 as of June 30, 2014 were 4.0% and 3.0%, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2014 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of interest rate swaps and floors, if applicable), using interest rate indices as of June 30, 2014, where applicable.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the risks discussed below, please see the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC.
Between June 30, 2014 and August 4, 2014, we sold three properties with an aggregate net book value of $693.8 million and as of August 4, 2014, we had classified three properties with an aggregate net book value of $272.6 million as of June 30, 2014 as held for sale. As a result, our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of our cash flow from operations will increase and this increase could be significant.
Our real estate properties generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements and our real estate-related investments generate cash flow in the form of interest income. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we disposed of three office properties, one industrial property and a leasehold interest in one industrial property and classified six office properties with an aggregate net book value of $965.5 million as held for sale. Between June 30, 2014 and August 4, 2014, we sold three properties with an aggregate net book value of $693.8 million and as of August 4, 2014, we had classified three properties with an aggregate net book value of $272.6 million as of June 30, 2014 as held for sale. As as result, our cash flow from operations will decrease. Our general and administrative expenses are not directly related to the size of our portfolio and thus will not decrease proportionately. As a result, our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of cash flow from operations will increase and, depending on the amount of assets we sell, this increase could be significant.
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) | On May 15, 2014, our board of directors approved the termination of our dividend reinvestment plan, which termination was effective May 29, 2014, and the amendment and restatement of our share redemption program (the “Amended Share Redemption Program”). The Amended Share Redemption Program provides only for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the Amended Share Redemption Program, and collectively “special redemptions”) and is limited as further described below. |
Prior to effectiveness of the Amended Share Redemption Program on June 18, 2014, the terms of our share redemption program were as follows:
Pursuant to our share redemption program, there were also several limitations on our ability to redeem shares under the program:
• | Unless the shares were being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program), we could not redeem shares unless the stockholder had held the shares for one year. |
• | During any calendar year, we could redeem only the number of shares that we could purchase with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year, provided that we could not redeem more than $3.0 million of shares in the aggregate each month, excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, qualifying disability or determination of incompetence; provided, however, we could increase the funding available for the redemption of shares pursuant to our share redemption program upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. We could provide notice by including such information (a) in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or (b) in a separate mailing to our stockholders. |
• | During any calendar year, we could redeem no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. |
• | We had no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. |

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (continued)
On October 16, 2013, our board of directors approved additional funding for the redemption of shares pursuant to our share redemption program as follows: once we had redeemed $3.0 million of shares in the aggregate in any month (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, qualifying disability or determination of incompetence), then an additional $20.0 million of funds in the aggregate was available for the redemption of shares on redemption dates commencing with the November 29, 2013 redemption date (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, qualifying disability or determination of incompetence) until such $20.0 million of funds was exhausted; provided that, in no event could we redeem, during any calendar year, more shares than the number of shares that we could purchase with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year. The other limitations of our share redemption program remained in full force and effect, including those set forth above. As of March 31, 2014, we had exhausted all $20.0 million of these funds.
On March 7, 2014, our board of directors again approved additional funding for the redemption of shares pursuant our share redemption program. Once we had redeemed $3.0 million of shares in the aggregate in any month (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, qualifying disability or determination of incompetence), then an additional $30.0 million of funds in the aggregate was available for the redemption of shares on redemption dates commencing with the March 31, 2014 redemption date (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, qualifying disability or determination of incompetence) until such $30.0 million of funds was exhausted; provided that, in no event could we redeem, during any calendar year, more shares than the number of shares that we could purchase with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year. The other limitations of our share redemption program remained in full force and effect, including those set forth above.
Pursuant to the share redemption program, redemptions made in connection with a stockholder’s death, qualifying disability or determination of incompetence were made at a price per share equal to the most recent estimated value per share of our common stock as of the applicable redemption date. The prices at which we redeemed all other shares eligible for redemption were as follows:
• | For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least one year, 92.5% of our most recent estimated value per share as of the applicable redemption date; |
• | For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least two years, 95.0% of our most recent estimated value per share as of the applicable redemption date; |
• | For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least three years, 97.5% of our most recent estimated value per share as of the applicable redemption date; and |
• | For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least four years, 100% of our most recent estimated value per share as of the applicable redemption date. |
Upon effectiveness of the Amended Share Redemption Program on June 18, 2014, the terms of the share redemption program were as follows:
Our board of directors amended and restated our share redemption program to provide only for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the Amended Share Redemption Program, and collectively “special redemptions”). During each calendar year, such special redemptions are limited to an annual dollar amount determined by the board of directors, which may be reviewed during the year and increased or decreased upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. We may provide notice by including such information (a) in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or (b) in a separate mailing to the stockholders.
Commencing with the June 2014 redemption date, the dollar amount limitation for special redemptions for the remainder of calendar year 2014 is $10.0 million in the aggregate, as may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time by the board of directors. Based on historical redemption data, the board of directors believes that the $10.0 million redemption limitation for the remainder of calendar year 2014 will be sufficient for these special redemptions. The Amended Share Redemption Program became effective on June 18, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, we had $9.5 million available for these special redemptions for the remainder of 2014. There were no other changes to the terms of special redemptions, and special redemptions will continue to be made at a price per share equal to the most recent estimated value per share of our common stock as of the applicable redemption date. We currently do not expect to make ordinary redemptions in the future.

Procedures for Redemption
If we cannot repurchase all shares presented for redemption in any month because of the limitations on redemptions set forth in our Amended Share Redemption Program, then we will honor redemption requests on a pro rata basis, except that if a pro rata redemption would result in a stockholder owning less than the minimum purchase requirement described in our currently effective, or our most recently effective, registration statement as such registration statement has been amended or supplemented, then we would redeem all of such stockholder’s shares.
On December 18, 2013, our board of directors approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.29 (unaudited), based on the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, as of September 30, 2013, with the exception of our real estate properties, which were appraised as of November 30, 2013. This estimated value per share was used to calculate the redemption price effective for the December 2013 redemption date, which was December 31, 2013, and will be used to calculate the redemption price until our estimated value per share is updated. We currently expect to utilize our advisor and/or an independent valuation firm to update our estimated value per share in September 2014, 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 for the year ended December 31, 2013 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 Amended Share Redemption Program with 30 days’ notice to our stockholders, provided that we may increase the funding available for the redemption of shares under the program upon ten business 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.
We funded redemptions during the six months ended June 30, 2014 with proceeds from our now terminated dividend reinvestment plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we 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 2014 | 869,191 | $ | 10.25 | (3) | |||||

June 2014 | 52,752 | $ | 10.29 | (3) | |||||
Total | 4,123,743 |
(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), on March 11, 2011 (which amendment became effective on April 10, 2011), on May 18, 2012 (which amendment became effective on June 17, 2012), on June 29, 2012 (which amendment became effective on July 29, 2012), on October 18, 2012 (which amendment became effective on November 17, 2012), on March 8, 2013 (which amendment became effective on April 7, 2013), on October 17, 2013 (which amendment became effective on November 16, 2013) and on May 19, 2014 (which amendment became effective on June 18, 2014).
(2) The prices at which we redeem shares under the program are set forth above.
(3) As of June 30, 2014, we limit the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under our share redemption program as described in the discussion of the Amended Share Redemption Program. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we redeemed $42.2 million of shares, which represented all redemption requests received in good order and eligible for redemption through the June 2014 redemption date. Based on the redemption limitations described above in the Amended Share Redemption Program and redemptions through June 30, 2014, we may redeem up to $9.5 million of shares made in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” for the remainder of 2014.
