FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Phillips Edison—ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should refer to the audited financial statements of Phillips Edison-ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”) for the year ended December 31, 2011, which are included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K as certain footnote disclosures contained in such audited financial statements have been omitted from this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation have been included in this Quarterly Report.

1. ORGANIZATION

Phillips Edison—ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc. was formed as a Maryland corporation on October 13, 2009 and has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Substantially all of our business is expected to be conducted through Phillips Edison—ARC Shopping Center Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on December 3, 2009. We are the sole limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and our wholly owned subsidiary, Phillips Edison Shopping Center OP GP LLC, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.

We are offering to the public pursuant to a registration statement $1.785 billion in shares of common stock (“our offering”). Our offering consists of a primary offering of $1.5 billion in shares offered to investors at a price of $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain categories of purchasers, and $285 million in shares offered to stockholders pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRP”) at a price of $9.50 per share. We have the right to reallocate the shares of common stock offered between the primary offering and the DRP.

As of March 31, 2012, we had issued 3,825,401 shares of common stock, including 29,751 shares issued through the DRP, generating gross cash proceeds of $36.9 million.

Our advisor is American Realty Capital II Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), a limited liability company that was formed in the State of Delaware on December 28, 2009 and that is indirectly wholly owned by American Realty Capital II, LLC (“AR Capital sponsor”). Under the terms of the advisory agreement between the Advisor and us, the Advisor is responsible for the management of our day-to-day activities and the implementation of our investment strategy. The Advisor has delegated most of its duties under the advisory agreement, including the management of our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of real estate assets, to Phillips Edison NTR LLC (the “Sub-advisor”), which is indirectly wholly owned by Phillips Edison Limited Partnership (“Phillips Edison sponsor”). Notwithstanding such delegation to the Sub-advisor, the Advisor retains ultimate responsibility for the performance of all the matters entrusted to it under the advisory agreement.

We invest primarily in well-occupied grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers having a mix of solid national and regional retailers selling necessity-based goods and services, in strong demographic markets throughout the United States. In addition, we may invest in other retail properties including power and lifestyle shopping centers, multi-tenant shopping centers, free-standing single-tenant retail properties, and other real estate and real estate-related loans and securities depending on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities that we determine are in the best interests of our stockholders. We expect that retail properties primarily would underlie or secure the real estate-related loans and securities in which we may invest.

On September 20, 2011, we entered into a joint venture with a group of institutional international investors advised by CBRE Investors Global Multi Manager (each a “Non-Controlling Interest”). The joint venture is in the form of PECO-ARC Institutional Joint Venture I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Joint Venture”). We, through an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, hold an approximate 54% interest in the Joint Venture and serve as the general partner and manage the operations of the Joint Venture. The Non-Controlling Interests hold the remaining approximate 46% interest.

owned real estate properties and cash, to the Joint Venture and the Non-Controlling Interests have contributed approximately $22.3 million in cash to the Joint Venture. Until March 20, 2013 (or the investment of all of the capital that is to be contributed to the Joint Venture), neither we nor the Sub-advisor or its affiliates may acquire properties meeting the Joint Venture’s investment strategy, except through the Joint Venture.

We, through the Joint Venture, owned fee-simple interests in nine real estate properties acquired from third parties unaffiliated with us or the Advisor as of March 31, 2012:

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and required the application of significant judgment by management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies for the three months ended March 31, 2012. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Reclassifications—The 2011 real estate taxes expense was previously reported as part of the property operating expenses. For improved comparison purposes, the real estate taxes expense is now being reported separately.

Investment Property and Lease Intangibles—Real estate assets we have acquired are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for computing depreciation are generally 5-7 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment, 15 years for land improvements and 30 years for buildings and building improvements. Tenant improvements are amortized over the shorter of the respective lease term or the expected useful life of the asset. Major replacements that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized and maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition method and, accordingly, the results of operations of acquired properties are included in our results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition. Estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques that we believe are similar to those used by independent appraisers are used to allocate the purchase price of each identifiable asset acquired and liabilities assumed such as land, buildings and improvements, equipment and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, such as amounts related to in-place leases, acquired above- and below-market leases, tenant relationships, asset retirement obligations, mortgage notes payable and any goodwill or gain on purchase. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Values of buildings and improvements are determined on an as if vacant basis.

The estimated fair value of acquired in-place leases is the costs we would have incurred to lease the properties to the occupancy level of the properties at the date of acquisition. Such estimates include leasing commissions, legal costs and other direct costs that would be incurred to lease the properties to such occupancy levels. Additionally, we evaluate the time period over which such occupancy levels would be achieved. Such evaluation includes an estimate of the net market-based rental revenues and net operating costs (primarily consisting of real estate taxes, insurance and utilities) that would be incurred during the lease-up period. Acquired in-place leases as of the date of acquisition are amortized over the remaining lease terms.

Acquired above- and below-market lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the lease acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and management’s estimate of the market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases. The capitalized above- and below-market lease values are amortized as adjustments to rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value is charged to amortization expense and the unamortized portion of above- and below-market lease value is charged to rental revenue.

Acquired above- and below-market ground lease values are recorded based on the difference between the present values (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the lease acquired) of the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the ground leases and management’s estimate of the fair value of land under the ground leases. The capitalized above- and below-market lease values will be amortized as adjustments to ground lease expense over the lease term.

Management will estimate the fair value of assumed mortgage notes payable based upon indications of then-current market pricing for similar types of debt with similar maturities. Assumed mortgage notes payable will be initially recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and the difference between such estimated fair value and the note’s outstanding principal balance will be amortized over the life of the mortgage note payable as an adjustment to interest expense.

Revenue Recognition—We commence revenue recognition on our leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. If we are the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete.

If we conclude that we are not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives which reduces revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these circumstances, we begin revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct their own improvements. We consider a number of different factors in evaluating whether we or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. These factors include:

•

whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;

•

whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements;

•

the uniqueness of the improvements;

•

the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease; and

•

who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements.

We recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts receivable. Due to the impact of the straight-line basis, rental income generally will be greater than the cash collected in the early years and decreases in the later years of a lease. Our policy for percentage rental income is to defer recognition of contingent rental income until the specified target (i.e. breakpoint) that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. We periodically review the collectability of outstanding receivables. Allowances will be taken for those balances that we deem to be uncollectible, including any amounts relating to straight-line rent receivables.

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

We record lease termination income if there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant is no longer occupying the property. Upon early lease termination, we provide for losses related to unrecovered intangibles and other assets.

Income Taxes—We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Our qualification and taxation as a REIT depends on our ability, on a continuing basis, to meet certain organizational and operational qualification requirements imposed upon REITs by the Code. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year, we will be subject to tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We would not be able to deduct distributions paid to stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify as a REIT. We will also be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions.

Non-Controlling Interests—Non-Controlling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheets represent the economic equity interests of the Joint Venture that are not owned by us. Non-Controlling interests in the condensed consolidated statements of equity represent contributions, distributions and allocated earnings to the group of international investors advised by CBRE Investors Global Multi Manager. Non-Controlling interests in earnings of the Joint Venture in the condensed consolidated statements of operations represents earnings (loss) allocated to non-controlling interests based on the economic ownership percentage of the consolidated Joint Venture held by these investors.

Earnings Per Share—Earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share considers the effect of any potentially dilutive share equivalents, of which we had none for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011.

The basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding was 3,124,334 and 899,107 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements— Effective January 1, 2011, companies are required to separately disclose purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on us.

Effective January 1, 2011, public companies that enter into a business combination are required to disclose pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. In addition, the supplemental pro forma disclosures are expanded. We are in compliance with the disclosure requirements of this guidance.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 clarifies some existing concepts, eliminates wording differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and in some limited cases, changes some principles to achieve convergence between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. ASU 2011-04 was effective for us as of January 1, 2012. The adoption of this pronouncement did not materially impact our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. ASU 2011-05 was effective for us as of January 1, 2012. The adoption of this pronouncement did not materially impact our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

3. EQUITY

General—We have the authority to issue a total of 180,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. As of March 31, 2012, we had issued 3,825,401 shares of common stock generating gross cash proceeds of $36.9 million and we had issued no shares of preferred stock. The holders of shares of the common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including election of the board of directors. Our charter does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan—We have adopted the DRP that allows stockholders to have dividends and other distributions invested in additional shares of our common stock at a price equal to $9.50 per share. Stockholders who elect to participate in the DRP, and who are subject to U.S. federal income taxation laws, will incur a tax liability on an amount equal to the fair value on the relevant distribution date of the shares of our common stock purchased with reinvested distributions, even though such stockholders have elected not to receive the distributions used to purchase those shares of common stock in cash. Dividends reinvested through the DRP for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, were $124,000 and $17,000, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program—Our share repurchase program may provide a limited opportunity for stockholders to have shares of common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, at a price equal to or at a discount from the purchase price paid for the shares being repurchased.

Repurchase of shares of common stock will be made monthly upon written notice received by us at least five days prior to the end of the applicable month. Stockholders may withdraw their repurchase request at any time up to five business days prior to the repurchase date.

The board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the share repurchase program at any time. If the board of directors decides to amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program, stockholders will be provided with no less than 30 days’ written notice. No shares eligible to be repurchased under the share repurchase program were submitted for repurchase during the three months ended March 31, 2012 or March 31, 2011.

2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan—We have adopted a 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which may be used to attract and retain officers and advisors and consultants. We have not issued any shares under this plan as of March 31, 2012.

2010 Independent Director Stock Plan—We have also adopted an Amended and Restated 2010 Independent Director Stock Plan, which may be used to offer independent directors an opportunity to participate in our growth through awards of shares of restricted common stock subject to time-based vesting. We have not issued any shares under this plan as of March 31, 2012.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement. Fair value is defined by ASC 820 as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3—Unobservable inputs, only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect our assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.

The following describes the methods we use to estimate the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities:

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses—We consider the carrying values of these financial instruments to approximate fair value because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization.

Real estate investments—The purchase prices of the investment properties, including related lease intangible assets and liabilities, were allocated at estimated fair value based on Level 3 inputs, such as discount rates, capitalization rates, income and expense growth rates and current market rents and allowances, from a third party appraisal or as determined by management.

Mortgage loans payable —We estimate the fair value of our debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by our lenders using Level 3 inputs. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, ranging from 2.5% to 3.0% as of March 31, 2012, assumes the debt is outstanding through maturity and considers the debt’s collateral (if applicable). We have utilized market information as available or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Our carrying amount of variable rate borrowings, which make up all of our borrowings, approximates their fair value as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could realize on disposition of the financial assets and liabilities.

5. REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS

In February 2012, the Joint Venture acquired a 100% interest in two grocery-anchored retail centers, Tramway Crossing and Westin Centre, for a combined purchase price of approximately $11.6 million. These centers were acquired with cash. We allocated the purchase price of these properties to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We allocated the aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.7 million to land, approximately $8.1 million to building and improvements, approximately $0.7 million to acquired in-place leases, approximately $0.2 million to acquired above-market leases, and approximately $0.1 million to acquired below-market leases.

The following information summarizes selected financial information from our combined results of operations, as if all of our acquisitions had been acquired on January 1, 2011.

We estimated that revenues, on a pro forma basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, would have been approximately $2.41 million and $2.39 million, respectively, and our net loss, on a pro forma basis including acquisition-related expenses of $140 and $1,881, respectively, would have been approximately $14,000 and $2,239,000, respectively. The pro forma net loss per share excluding acquisition-related expenses would have been $0.00 and $0.78, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

This pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and may not be indicative of what actual results of operations would have been had the transactions occurred at the beginning of the period, nor does it purport to represent the results of future operations.

6. ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Acquired intangible lease assets consisted of the following:


	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011

Total	$	7,282,000	$	6,799,000

Amortization expense recorded on the intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $450,000 and $129,000, respectively.

Estimated amortization expense of the respective acquired intangible lease assets as of March 31, 2012 for each of the five succeeding calendar years is as follows:


Year	In-Place Leases		Above Market Leases
2012	$	738,000	$	697,000
2013		1,003,000		934,000
2014		923,000		907,000
2015		634,000		731,000
2016		332,000		229,000
2017 and thereafter		67,000		87,000


Total	$	3,697,000	$	3,585,000

The weighted-average amortization periods for acquired in-place lease and above market lease intangibles are 4 years and 5 years, respectively.

7. MORTGAGE LOANS PAYABLE

As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $40.5 million of mortgage notes payable outstanding. Each of the mortgage notes payable is secured by the respective property on which the debt was placed. The mortgage notes allow us to generally make additional principal payments on the loan and draw those amounts back, not to exceed the initial loan amount, as needed. As of March 31, 2012, the weighted-average interest rate for the loans was 2.82%.

We hold all of our debt obligations through the Joint Venture, in which we have a 54% interest. As of March 31, 2012, our leverage ratio, or the ratio of total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, to total purchase price of real estate assets, was approximately 38.5%.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Sponsor Organization and Offering Costs

In addition to the accounts payable to affiliates, there are approximately $3.1 million of offering costs incurred by the Sub-advisor on our behalf that have not been charged to us. Organization and offering cost reimbursements may not exceed 1.5% of the gross proceeds raised through the continuous offering. Whether these costs incurred by the Sub-advisor will be billed is dependent upon the success of the offering and the discretion of the Sub-advisor.

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to litigation or claims. There are no material legal proceedings pending, or known to be contemplated, against us.

Environmental Matters

In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, we may be potentially liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. We have not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and we are not aware of any other environmental condition that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

10. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Advisory Agreement—Pursuant to our advisory agreement, the Advisor is entitled to specified fees for certain services, including managing the day-to-day activities and implementing our investment strategy. The Advisor has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with the Sub-advisor, which manages our day-to-day affairs and our portfolio of real estate investments, subject to the board’s supervision and certain major decisions requiring the consent of both the Advisor and Sub-advisor. The expenses to be reimbursed to the Advisor and Sub-advisor will be reimbursed in proportion to the amount of expenses incurred on our behalf by the Advisor and Sub-advisor, respectively.

Organization and Offering Costs—Under the terms of the advisory agreement, we are to reimburse on a monthly basis the Advisor, the Sub-advisor or their respective affiliates for cumulative organization and offering costs and future organization and offering costs they may incur on our behalf but only to the extent that the reimbursement would not exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds over the life of the offering. As of March 31, 2012, the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates have paid approximately $7.2 million of organization and offering costs. In addition, approximately $3.1 million of offering costs incurred by the Sub-advisor on our behalf has not been charged to us or been recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Whether these costs incurred by the Sub-advisor will be billed is dependent upon the success of the offering and the discretion of the Sub-advisor. As of December 31, 2011, the Advisor, Sub-advisor or their affiliates had paid $7.1 million of organization and offering costs.

Acquisition Fee—We pay the Advisor an acquisition fee related to services provided in connection with the selection and purchase or origination of real estate and real estate-related investments. The acquisition fee is equal to 1.0% of the cost of investments we acquire or originate, including acquisition or origination expenses and any debt attributable to such investments. We incurred acquisition fees payable to the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates of $64,000 and $0, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 in connection with certain of our property acquisitions.

Asset Management Fee—We pay the Advisor an asset management fee for the asset management services it provides pursuant to the advisory agreement. The asset management fee, payable monthly in arrears (based on assets we held during the previous month) will be equal to 0.08333% of the sum of the cost of all real estate and real estate-related investments we own and of our investments in joint ventures, including certain expenses and any debt attributable to such investments. However, the Advisor reimburses all or a portion of the asset management fee for any applicable period to the extent that as of the date of the payment, our modified funds from operations (as defined in accordance with the then-current practice guidelines issued by the Investment Program Association with an additional adjustment to add back capital contribution amounts received from the Sub-advisor or an affiliate thereof, without any corresponding issuance of equity to the Sub-advisor or its affiliate), during the quarter were not at least equal to our declared distributions during the quarter. We cannot avoid payment of an asset management fee by raising our distribution rate beyond $0.65 per share on an annualized basis. Total asset management fees incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $217,000 and $53,000, respectively, with $118,000 and $53,000 of these fees being waived or reimbursed by the Advisor and Sub-advisor. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the net asset management fees of $99,000 were paid by the Non-Controlling Interests.

Financing Fee—We pay the Advisor or Sub-advisor a financing fee equal to 0.75% of all amounts made available under any loan or line of credit. We incurred no financing fees payable to the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Disposition Fee—For substantial assistance by the Advisor, Sub-advisor or any of their affiliates in connection with the sale of properties or other investments, we will pay the Advisor or its assignee 2.0% of the contract sales price of each property or other investment sold. The conflicts committee will determine whether the Advisor, Sub-advisor or their respective affiliates have provided substantial assistance to us in connection with the sale of an asset. Substantial assistance in connection with the sale of a property includes the Advisor’s or Sub-advisor’s preparation of an investment package for the property (including an investment analysis, rent rolls, tenant information regarding credit, a property title report, an environmental report, a structural report and exhibits) or such other substantial services performed by the Advisor or Sub-advisor in connection with a sale. However, if we sell an asset to an affiliate, our organizational documents will prohibit us from paying the Advisor a disposition fee. There were no disposition fees incurred in 2012 or 2011.

General and Administrative Expenses—The sponsors provided $0 and $60,000, respectively during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, for certain of our general and administrative expenses as capital contributions. The sponsors have not received, and will not receive, any reimbursement for these contributions. The sponsors do not intend to make further capital contributions to continue to fund our general and administrative expenses. As of March 31, 2012, we owed the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates $18,000 for general and administrative expenses paid on our behalf. The amount payable to the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates as of December 31, 2011, for general and administrative expenses was $1.1 million. As of March 31, 2012, the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates have not allocated any portion of their employees’ salaries to general and administrative expenses.

Subordinated Share of Cash Flows—After investors who have not redeemed their shares have received a return of their net capital contributions and a 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return, the Advisor is entitled to receive a total of 15.0% of our net cash flows, whether from continuing operations, net sale proceeds or otherwise. This fee is payable only if our shares are not listed on a securities exchange.

Subordinated Incentive Fee—Upon the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange, we will pay to the Advisor a fee equal to 15.0% of the amount by which the market value of the outstanding stock plus distributions paid by us prior to listing to investors who have not redeemed their shares exceeds the sum of the total amount of capital raised from investors who have not redeemed their shares and the amount of cash flow necessary to generate a 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return to those investors.

Property Manager—All of our real properties are managed and leased by Phillips Edison & Company Ltd. (“Property Manager”), an affiliated property manager. The Property Manager is wholly owned by our Phillips Edison sponsor and was organized on September 15, 1999. The Property Manager also manages real properties acquired by the Phillips Edison affiliates or other third parties.

We pay to the Property Manager monthly property management fees equal to 4.5% of the gross cash receipts of the properties managed by the Property Manager. In the event that we contract directly with a non-affiliated third-party property manager in respect of a property, we will pay the Property Manager a monthly oversight fee equal to 1.0% of the gross revenues of the property managed. In addition to the property management fee or oversight fee, if the Property Manager provides leasing services with respect to a property, we will pay the Property Manager leasing fees in an amount equal to the leasing fees charged by unaffiliated persons rendering comparable services in the same geographic location of the applicable property. We will reimburse the costs and expenses incurred by the Property Manager on our behalf, including legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses that are directly related to the management of specific properties, as well as fees and expenses of third-party accountants.

If we engage the Property Manager to provide construction management services with respect to a particular property, we will pay a construction management fee in an amount that is usual and customary for comparable services rendered to similar projects in the geographic market of the property.

The Property Manager hires, directs and establishes policies for employees who have direct responsibility for the operations of each real property it manages, which may include, but is not limited to, on-site managers and building and maintenance personnel. Certain employees of the Property Manager may be employed on a part-time basis and may also be employed by the Sub-advisor or certain of its affiliates. The Property Manager also directs the purchase of equipment and supplies and will supervise all maintenance activity.

We incurred property management fees due to the Property Manager of $113,000 and $30,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Dealer Manager—Our current dealer manager is Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”). The Dealer Manager is a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and was organized on August 29, 2007. The Dealer Manager is indirectly wholly owned by our AR Capital sponsor and will provide certain sales, promotional and marketing services in connection with the distribution of the shares of common stock offered. Excluding shares sold pursuant to the “friends and family” program, the Dealer Manager is generally paid a sales commission equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of the common stock sold in the primary offering and a dealer manager fee equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of the common stock sold in the primary offering.

Dealer manager fees incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $255,000, of which $89,000 were reallowed to participating broker-dealers.

The Sub-advisor will purchase shares at a purchase price of $9.00 per share, reflecting no dealer manager fee or selling commissions being paid on such shares. The Sub-advisor may not sell any of these shares while serving as the Sub-advisor.

As of March 31, 2012, the Sub-advisor owns 21,779 shares of our common stock, or approximately 0.57% of our outstanding common stock.

11. ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY

On April 27, 2012, the Joint Venture acquired a 100% interest in a Publix-anchored shopping center located in Brunswick, Georgia, Village at Glynn Place, for a purchase price of $11.35 million. This acquisition was financed with the proceeds from the availability on our existing variable-rate revolving credit facilities, proceeds from our initial public offering, and cash provided by the Non-Controlling Interests. Including the Publix lease, approximately 81% of rents from the property come from national tenants. The 111,924 square foot property is 96.7% occupied.

Acquisition of New Windsor Marketplace –

On May 9, 2012, the Joint Venture acquired a 100% interest in New Windsor Marketplace, a shopping center anchored by a King Soopers (Kroger) and located in Windsor, Colorado.

Acquisition of Meadowthorpe Shopping Center –

On May 9, 2012, the Joint Venture acquired a 100% interest in Meadowthorpe Shopping Center, a Kroger-anchored shopping center located in Lexington, Kentucky.

The remainder of the purchase price was financed with proceeds from our existing variable-rate revolving credit facilities. Including the Kroger lease, approximately 52% of rents from the property come from national tenants. The 87,384 square foot property is 95.6% occupied.

The supplemental pro forma revenue and earnings disclosures required by GAAP relating to the recent acquisitions of Village at Glynn Place, New Windsor Marketplace and Meadowthorpe Shopping Center have not been presented for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, as the initial accounting for these acquisitions was incomplete at the time the interim financial statements were issued. The initial accounting was incomplete due to the late closing date of the acquisitions.

Financings Completed

On April 12, 2012, we entered into two variable-rate revolving credit facilities totaling $7.1 million. Tramway Crossing and Westin Centre serve as collateral for these facilities, which expire on May 1, 2016. The interest rates for both of these facilities is one-month LIBOR plus 2.40% to 2.60% depending upon the amounts outstanding and the debt yields. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Joint Venture has guaranteed 25% of the Joint Venture’s obligations under both facilities. The outstanding balance of these facilities as of May 11, 2012 is $7.1 million.

Sale of Shares of Common Stock

From April 1, 2012 through April 30, 2012, we raised approximately $6.0 million through the issuance of 612,514 shares of common stock under our ongoing public offering. As of May 1, 2012, approximately 145.6 million shares remained available for sale to the public under our public offering, exclusive of shares available under the DRP.

Distributions

On April 2, 2012, we paid a distribution equal to a daily amount of $0.00178082 per share of common stock outstanding for stockholders of record for the period from March 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012. The total gross amount of the distribution was approximately $194,000, with $59,000 being reinvested in the DRP, for a net cash distribution of $135,000. The April distribution was funded from a combination of cash generated from operating activities and borrowings.

On May 1, 2012, we paid a distribution equal to a daily amount of $0.00178082 per share of common stock outstanding for stockholders of record for the period from April 1, 2012 through April 30, 2012. The total gross amount of the distribution was approximately $223,000, with $72,000 being reinvested in the DRP, for a net cash distribution of $151,000. The May distribution was funded a combination of cash generated from operating activities and borrowings.

On March 21, 2012, our board of directors declared distributions to the stockholders of record at the close of business each day in the period commencing May 1, 2012 through and including June 30, 2012. On April 19, 2012, our board of directors declared distributions to the stockholders of record at the close of business each day in the period commencing July 1, 2012 through and including August 31, 2012. The declared distributions will equal an amount of $0.00178082 per share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. This equates to a 6.50% annualized yield when calculated on a $10.00 per share purchase price. A portion of each distribution is expected to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes. Distributions for the month of May will be paid on such day of June 2012 as our President may determine; distributions for the month of June will be paid on such day of July as our President may determine; distributions for the month of July will be paid on such day of August 2012 as our President may determine; and distributions for the month of August will be paid on such day of September 2012 as our President may determine.

Overview

We are offering to the public pursuant to a registration statement $1.785 billion in shares of common stock in our initial public offering. Our offering consists of a primary offering of $1.5 billion in shares offered to investors at a price of $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain categories of purchasers, and $285 million in shares offered to stockholders pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRP”) at a price of $9.50 per share. We have the right to reallocate the shares of common stock offered between the primary offering and the DRP.

As of March 31, 2012, we had issued 3,825,401 shares of common stock, including 29,751 shares issued through the DRP, generating gross cash proceeds of $36.9 million.

On September 20, 2011, we entered into a joint venture with a group of institutional international investors advised by CBRE Investors Global Multi Manager (each a “Non-Controlling Interest”). The joint venture is in the form of PECO-ARC Institutional Joint Venture I., L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Joint Venture”). We, through an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, hold an approximate 54% interest in the Joint Venture and serve as the general partner and manage the operations of the Joint Venture. The Non-Controlling Interests hold the remaining approximate 46% interest.

The Joint Venture intends to invest in grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers with acquisition costs of no more than $20 million per property. We have committed to contribute approximately $58.7 million to the Joint Venture and the Non-Controlling Interests have committed to contribute $50 million in cash. Through March 31, 2012, the Joint Venture holds nine properties. As of March 31, 2012, we have contributed approximately $26.2 million, in the form of equity interests in six wholly owned real estate properties and cash, to the Joint Venture and the Non-Controlling Interests have contributed approximately $22.3 million in cash to the Joint Venture. Until March 20, 2013 (or the investment of all of the capital that is to be contributed to the Joint Venture), neither we nor the Sub-advisor or its affiliates may acquire properties meeting the Joint Venture’s investment strategy, except through the Joint Venture.

We, through the Joint Venture, owned fee-simple interests in nine real estate properties acquired from third parties unaffiliated with us or the Advisor as of March 31, 2012:

Portfolio Tenancy

Prior to the acquisition of a property, we assess the suitability of the grocery anchor tenant and other tenants in light of our investment objectives, namely, preserving capital and providing stable cash flows for distributions. Generally, we assess the strength of the tenant by consideration of company factors, such as its financial strength and market share in the geographic area of the shopping center, as well as location-specific factors, such as the store’s sales, local competition and demographics. When assessing the tenancy of the non-anchor space at the shopping center, we consider the tenant mix at each shopping center in light of our portfolio, the proportion of national and national franchise tenants, and credit worthiness of specific tenants. When evaluating non-national tenancy, we attempt to obtain credit enhancements to leases, which typically come in the form of deposits and/or guarantees from one or more individuals.

Results of Operations

Overview

As we owned only two properties during the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, virtually all differences when comparing that period to the three months ended March 31, 2012, are the result of the seven properties acquired since March 31, 2011.

Summary of operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012, were $2,215,000, with rental income of $1,755,000. Other revenues, largely comprised of tenant reimbursements, were $460,000. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011, were $603,000, with rental income of $460,000. Other revenues were $143,000.

Property operating costs were $379,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Real estate taxes were $242,000 and $108,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

General and administrative expenses were $324,000 and $208,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. These amounts were comprised largely of audit and tax fees, asset management fees (2012 only), legal fees, board-related expenses and insurance expense. In addition to these expenses, our sponsors provided $60,000 for certain of our general and administrative expenses as a capital contribution during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our sponsors have not received, and will not receive, any reimbursement for this contribution. Our sponsors do not intend to contribute monies to fund future expenses. There was no such capital contribution for the three months ended March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates have not allocated any portion of their employees’ salaries to general and administrative expenses.

Under the terms of our amended advisory agreement, a waiver of all or a portion of the asset management fee will occur for any applicable period to the extent that as of the date of the payment, our modified funds from operations, (as defined in accordance with the then-current practice guidelines issued by the Investment Program Association with an additional adjustment to add back capital contribution amounts received from the Sub-advisor or an affiliate thereof without any corresponding issuance of equity to the Sub-advisor or affiliate), during the quarter were not at least equal to our declared distributions during the quarter, provided that the distribution rate during such quarter was no more than $0.65 per share on an annualized basis.

Asset management fees were $217,000 for three months ended March 31, 2012, but $118,000 of these fees were waived by the Advisor and Sub-advisor pursuant to the amended advisory agreement detailed in the previous paragraph. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the net asset management fees of $99,000 were paid by the Non-Controlling Interests. Asset management fees were $53,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, but were waived by the Advisor and Sub-advisor. Acquisition-related expenses were $278,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Included in these acquisition-related expenses were $64,000 of acquisition fees paid to the Advisor and Sub-advisor and $41,000 of expense incurred for acquisitions that did not close during the quarter. Acquisition-related expenses were $47,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Included in these acquisition-related expenses were expenses related to the December 2010 acquisitions of Lakeside Plaza and Snow View Plaza and approximately $16,000 of expense was incurred for acquisitions that did not close during the quarter.

Our principal demands for funds are for real estate and real estate-related investments and the payment of acquisition-related expenses, operating expenses, distributions to stockholders and principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness. Generally, we expect cash needs for items other than acquisitions and acquisition-related expenses will be generated from operations and our current investments. The sources of our operating cash flows are primarily driven by the rental income received from leased properties. We expect to continue to raise capital through our ongoing offering of common stock and to utilize such funds and proceeds from secured or unsecured financing to complete future property acquisitions. As of March 31, 2012, we had raised approximately $36.9 million in gross proceeds from our offering, including $0.3 million through the DRP.

As of March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6.3 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had a net cash usage of approximately $0.6 million.

This cash usage was the result of;

•

$0.7 million used in operating activities, largely due to the reimbursement of general and administrative expenses to the Sub-advisor (As of March 31, 2012, the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates have not allocated any portion of their employees’ salaries to general and administrative expenses.)

•

$11.4 million used in investing activities, which was mostly the result of the acquisitions of Tramway Crossing and Westin Centre, and

•

$11.5 million provided by financing activities with approximately $10.4 million from the net proceeds of the issuance of common stock and $7.8 million provided by the Non-Controlling Interests. Partially offsetting these amounts was $6.3 million of net payments on the mortgage loans payable and distributions paid of $0.3 million, net of DRP proceeds.

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by property operations, proceeds from our offering, and proceeds from secured and unsecured debt financings, along with any deferral or waiver of fees by the Advisor or Sub-advisor. Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties are added to our portfolio. The organization and offering costs associated with our offering are initially paid by our sponsors, which will be reimbursed for such costs up to 1.5% of the gross capital raised in our offering. As of March 31, 2012, we owe the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates $7.2 million of organization and offering costs incurred on our behalf. Our sponsors provided $60,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $228,000 since inception for certain of our general and administrative expenses as capital contributions. Our sponsors have not received, and will not receive, any reimbursement or additional equity for these contributions. The sponsors provided no such capital contributions for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Our sponsors do not intend to make further capital contributions to continue to fund certain of our general and administrative expenses.

Under the terms of the advisory agreement, we are to reimburse on a monthly basis the Advisor, the Sub-advisor or their respective affiliates for cumulative organization and offering costs and future organization and offering costs they may incur on our behalf, but only to the extent that the reimbursement would not exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds over the life of the offering. In addition, approximately $3.1 million of offering costs incurred by the Sub-advisor on our behalf has not been charged to us or been recorded in our consolidated financial statements. Whether these costs will be billed to us in the future will depend on the success of our public offering. Our sponsors do not intend to continue to contribute monies to fund future expenses. We have $40.5 million of debt obligations, representing variable-rate credit facilities secured by our real estate assets. Of the amount outstanding at March 31, 2012, $2.1 million is for the Lakeside Plaza and Snow View Plaza facilities, with a combined maximum capacity of $14.7 million, which both mature in December 2012. We can extend these facilities until December 2013 by paying a fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding balance at the time of the maturity dates in December 2012.

Cash used in operating activities was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Included in this total was approximately $0.3 million of real estate acquisition-related expenses incurred during the period and expensed in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. As of March 31, 2012, we owed the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their respective affiliates approximately $7.4 million for organization and offering expenses, general and administrative expenses and other operational expenses. Until we have sufficient cash flow to cover our expenses, we will continue to rely upon the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their respective affiliates for financial support.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, gross distributions of approximately $455,000 were paid, including $124,000 of distributions reinvested through the DRP, for net cash distributions of $331,000. These distributions were funded by borrowings. On April 2, 2012, gross distributions of approximately $194,000 were paid, including $59,000 of distributions reinvested through the DRP, for net cash distributions of $135,000. These distributions were funded by a combination of cash generated from operating activities and borrowings.

On February 20, 2012, our board of directors declared distributions to the stockholders of record at the close of business each day in the period commencing April 1, 2012 through and including April 30, 2012. On March 21, 2012, our board of directors declared distributions to the stockholders of record at the close of business each day in the period commencing May 1, 2012 through and including June 30, 2012. On April 19, 2012, our board of directors declared distributions to be paid to the stockholders of record at the close of business each day in the period commencing July 1, 2012 through and including August 31, 2012. The declared distributions equal an amount of $0.00178082 per share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. This equates to a 6.50% annualized yield

when calculated on a $10.00 per share purchase price. A portion of each distribution is expected to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes. Distributions for the month of April were paid on May 1, 2012. Our policy is not to fund distributions with proceeds from our initial public offering.

Our leverage ratio was 38.5% (calculated as secured mortgage notes payable, less cash and cash equivalents, as a percentage of total real estate investments, at cost) as of March 31, 2012.

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

On a long-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for real estate and real estate-related investments and the payment of acquisition-related expenses, operating expenses, distributions and redemptions to stockholders and interest and principal on indebtedness, as well as payments on amounts due to our sponsors. Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions and acquisition-related expenses from our cash flow from operations, and we expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions and acquisition-related expenses from the net proceeds of our offering and from debt financings. We expect that substantially all net cash generated from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, are paid at the properties; however, we may use other sources to fund distributions as necessary, including contributions or advances made to us by the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their respective affiliates and borrowings under future debt agreements.

Our charter limits our borrowings such that our total liabilities do not exceed 75.0% of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) of our tangible assets; however, we may exceed that limit if a majority of our conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of our charter limitation and if we disclose such borrowing to our stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. In all events, we expect that our secured and unsecured borrowings will be reasonable in relation to the net value of our assets and will be reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly.

Careful use of debt will help us to achieve our diversification goals because we will have more funds available for investment. However, high levels of debt could cause us to incur higher interest charges and higher debt service payments, which would decrease the amount of cash available for distribution to our investors.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP performance financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We use FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts to be net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains (or losses) from sales of property (including deemed sales and settlements of pre-existing relationships), plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets and impairment charges, and after related adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and subsidiaries and non-controlling interests. We believe that FFO is helpful to our investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, impairment charges, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared year to year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which are not immediately apparent from net income. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate and intangibles 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 alone to be insufficient. As a result, our management believes that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, is helpful for our investors in understanding our performance. In particular, because GAAP impairment charges are not allowed to be reversed if the underlying fair values improve or because the timing of impairment charges may lag the onset of certain operating consequences, we believe FFO provides useful supplemental information related to current consequences, benefits and sustainability related to rental rate, occupancy and other core operating fundamentals. Factors that impact FFO include start-up costs, fixed costs, delay in buying assets, lower yields on cash held in accounts, income from portfolio properties and other portfolio assets, interest rates on acquisition financing and operating expenses. In addition, FFO will be affected by the types of investments in our targeted portfolio which will consist of, but is not limited to, necessity-based neighborhood and community shopping centers, first- and second-priority mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, bridge and other loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, and debt securities of real estate companies. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted cash flows from a property, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows, are taken into account in determining whether an impairment charge has been incurred. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, as impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows, investors are cautioned that we may not recover any impairment charges. FFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining FFO.

Since FFO was promulgated, GAAP has expanded to include several new accounting pronouncements, such that management and many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of FFO alone to be insufficient. Accordingly, in addition to FFO, we use modified funds from operations, or MFFO, as defined by the Investment Program Association (“IPA”). MFFO excludes from FFO the following items:

(1)

acquisition fees and expenses;

(2)

straight-line rent amounts, both income and expense;

(3)

amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities;

(4)

amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments;

(5)

gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt;

(6)

gains or losses on the extinguishment or sales of hedges, foreign exchange, securities and other derivatives holdings except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of our operations;

(7)

gains or losses related to fair-value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting, including interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives;

(8)

gains or losses related to consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting;

(9)

gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments; and

(10)

adjustments related to the above items for unconsolidated entities in the application of equity accounting.

We believe that MFFO is helpful in assisting management and investors assess the sustainability of operating performance in future periods and, in particular, after our offering and acquisition stages are complete, primarily because it excludes acquisition expenses that affect property operations only in the period in which the property is acquired. Thus, MFFO provides helpful information relevant to evaluating our operating performance in periods in which there is no acquisition activity.

As explained below, management’s evaluation of our operating performance excludes the items considered in the calculation based on the following economic considerations. Many of the adjustments in arriving at MFFO are not applicable to us. Nevertheless, we explain below the reasons for each of the adjustments made in arriving at our MFFO definition.

•

Acquisition fees and expenses. In evaluating investments in real estate, including both business combinations and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, management’s investment models and analyses differentiate costs to

acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Prior to 2009, acquisition costs for both of these types of investments were capitalized under GAAP; however, beginning in 2009, acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed. Both of these acquisition-related costs have been and will continue to be funded from the proceeds of our offering and generally not from operations. We believe by excluding expensed acquisition costs, MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include those paid to the Advisor, the Sub-advisor or third parties.

•

Adjustments for straight-line rents and amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments. In the proper application of GAAP, rental receipts and discounts and premiums on debt investments are allocated to periods using various systematic methodologies. This application may result in income recognition that could be significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

•

Adjustments for amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets. Similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangibles diminishes ratably over time and 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 market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.

•

Gains or losses related to fair-value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting and gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments. Each of these items relates to a fair value adjustment, which is based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions and specific performance of the holding, which may not be directly attributable to current operating performance. As these gains or losses relate to underlying long-term assets and liabilities, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in core operating fundamentals rather than changes that may reflect anticipated gains or losses.

•

Adjustment for gains or losses related to early extinguishment of hedges, debt, consolidation or deconsolidation and contingent purchase price. Similar to extraordinary items excluded from FFO, these adjustments are not related to continuing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods and to other real estate operators.

By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that also assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisition stages are completed. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry. MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisition stages are completed with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. However, investors are cautioned that MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisition stages are completed, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired. Acquisition costs also adversely affect our book value and equity.

FFO or MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), nor as an indication of our liquidity, nor is either indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to fund distributions. In particular, as we are currently in the acquisition phase of our life cycle, acquisition-related costs and other adjustments that are increases to MFFO are, and may continue to be, a significant use of cash. MFFO has limitations as a performance measure in an offering such as ours where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value and there is no net asset value determination during the offering stage and for a period thereafter. Accordingly, both FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements. Our FFO and MFFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.

The following section presents our calculation of FFO and MFFO and provides additional information related to our operations (in thousands, except per share amounts). As a result of the timing of the commencement of our public offering and our active real estate operations, FFO and MFFO are not relevant to a discussion comparing operations for the two periods presented. We expect revenues and expenses to increase in future periods as we raise additional offering proceeds and use them to acquire additional investments.

Distributions

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, gross distributions paid were $455,000, with $124,000 being reinvested through the DRP for net cash distributions of $331,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, gross distributions paid were $121,000, with $17,000 being reinvested through the DRP for net cash distributions of $104,000. There were gross distributions of $194,000 accrued and payable as of March 31, 2012. Distributions accrue at a daily rate of $0.00178082. Distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2012 were funded by borrowings.

We expect to pay distributions monthly and continue paying distributions monthly unless our results of operations, our general financial condition, general economic conditions or other factors make it imprudent to do so. The timing and amount of distributions will be determined by our board and will be influenced in part by our intention to comply with REIT requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

We may receive income from interest or rents at various times during our fiscal year and because we may need funds from operations during a particular period to fund capital expenditures and other expenses, we expect that at least during the early stages of our development and from time to time during our operational stage, we will declare distributions in anticipation of funds that we expect to receive during a later period, and we will pay these distributions in advance of our actual receipt of these funds. In these instances, we expect to look to borrowings to fund our distributions. We may also fund such distributions from advances from our sponsors or from any deferral or waiver of fees by the Advisor or Sub-advisor.

Our distribution policy is not to use the proceeds of our offering to pay distributions. However, our board has the authority under our organizational documents, to the extent permitted by Maryland law, to pay distributions from any source without limit, including proceeds from our offering or the proceeds from the issuance of securities in the future.

To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90.0% of our REIT taxable income (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). If we meet the REIT qualification requirements, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the income that we distribute to our stockholders each year.

We have not established a minimum distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make distributions to our stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2012. For a summary of our critical accounting policies, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $40.5 million of variable rate debt outstanding. In the future, we may hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations through the utilization of derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, in order to mitigate the risk of this exposure. We do not intend to enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Our hedging decisions will be determined based upon the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge and may differ from our currently anticipated hedging strategy. If we use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we will be exposed to both credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We will seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.

As of March 31, 2012, we have not fixed the interest rates for our debt through derivative financial instruments and as a result, we are subject to the potential impact of rising interest rates which could negatively impact our profitability and cash flows.

The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the fair market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates.

The impact on our annual results of operations of a one-percentage-point change in interest rates on the outstanding balance of variable-rate debt at March 31, 2012 would result in approximately $0.4 million of additional interest expense. We had no other outstanding debt as of March 31, 2012, nor did we have any outstanding interest rate contracts.

The above amounts were determined based on the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost, and assume no changes in our capital structure. As the information presented above includes only those exposures that exist as of March 31, 2012, it does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. Hence, the information represented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, the hedging strategies at the time, and the related interest rates.

We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods in SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are party to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

The following risk factors supplement the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Although our sponsors and their affiliates have previously paid, forgiven or deferred certain fees and expenses related to us, there is no obligation by our sponsors or their affiliates to do so in the future.

The Advisor and the Sub-advisor have informed us that they will waive or reimburse payment of the asset management fees to the extent that, as of the date of payment, our operating performance during the prior quarter has not been commensurate with our distributions during such period. Asset management fees were $217,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, but $118,000 of these fees has been waived by the Advisor and Sub-advisor pursuant to the advisory agreement. In addition, our sponsors provided $228,000 towards certain of our general and administrative expenses as capital contributions since inception. Our sponsors have not received, and will not receive, additional equity securities or any reimbursement for this contribution. Our sponsors do not intend to continue to contribute monies to fund future distributions. Also, approximately $3.1 million of organization and offering costs have been incurred on our behalf by the Sub-advisor that have not been charged to us. Organization and offering cost reimbursements may not exceed 1.5% of the gross proceeds raised through the continuous offering. Whether these costs incurred by the Sub-advisor will be billed is dependent upon the success of the offering and the discretion of the Sub-advisor.

Increases in interest rates would increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

As of March 31, 2012, we have $40.5 million of variable rate debt obligations. Because we have such variable-rate debt obligations, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs and would reduce our cash flows and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments at times that may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

We did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

On August 12, 2010, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-164313), covering a public offering of up to 180,000,000 shares of common stock, was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933. We commenced our initial public offering on August 12, 2010 upon retaining Realty Capital Securities, LLC as the dealer manager of our offering. We are offering 150,000,000 shares of common stock in our primary offering at an aggregate offering price of up to $1.5 billion, or $10.00 per share with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers. The 30,000,000 shares offered under our dividend reinvestment plan are initially being offered at an aggregate offering price of $285.0 million, or $9.50 per share. The primary offering will terminate on August 12, 2013. We may sell shares under the dividend reinvestment plan beyond the termination of the primary offering until we have sold all the shares under the plan. As of March 31, 2012, we have issued 3,825,401 shares of our common stock, inclusive of 29,751 shares issued pursuant to the DRP, while raising $36.9 million in gross offering proceeds.

As of March 31, 2012, we have incurred the following cumulative offering costs in connection with the issuance and distribution of the registered securities:


($000s)	Offering Costs
Offering costs to related parties	$	7,757
Offering costs to non-related parties		1,864


Total	$	9,621

From the commencement of our ongoing initial public offering through March 31, 2012, the net offering proceeds to us, after deducting the total expenses incurred as described above, were approximately $27.3 million, including net offering proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan of $283,000.

We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering to invest primarily in grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers throughout the United States. We may use the net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the repurchase of shares under our share repurchase program; capital expenditures; tenant improvement costs; and other funding obligations. As of March 31, 2012, we have used the net proceeds from our ongoing primary public offering and debt financing to purchase $88.5 million in real estate, and to pay $2.6 million of acquisition fees and expenses.

We did not repurchase any of our securities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, and no shares eligible for redemption were the subject of any redemption requests during this period.
