NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2011
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Cole Credit Property Trust II, Inc. (the Company) is a Maryland corporation formed on
September 29, 2004, that has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate
investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes. Substantially all of the Companys
business is conducted through Cole Operating Partnership II, LP (Cole OP II), a Delaware limited
partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of and owns a 99.99% partnership interest in
Cole OP II. Cole REIT Advisors II, LLC (Cole Advisors II), the affiliate advisor to the Company,
is the sole limited partner and owner of an insignificant noncontrolling partnership interest of
less than 0.01% of Cole OP II.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company owned 727 properties comprising 20.7 million rentable square
feet of single and multi-tenant retail and commercial space located in 45 states and the U.S.
Virgin Islands. As of March 31, 2011, the rentable space at these properties was 95% leased. As of
March 31, 2011, the Company also owned 69 mortgage notes receivable secured by 43 restaurant
properties and 26 single-tenant retail properties, each of which is subject to a net lease. Through
two joint ventures, the Company had a majority indirect interest in a 386,000 square foot
multi-tenant retail building in Independence, Missouri and a majority indirect interest in a
ten-property storage facility portfolio as of March 31, 2011. In addition, the Company owned four
commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) bonds as of March 31, 2011.
The Company ceased offering shares of common stock in its initial primary offering (the
Initial Offering) on May 22, 2007, and ceased offering shares of common stock in its follow-on
offering (the Follow-on Offering) on January 2, 2009. The Company continues to issue shares of
common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan (the DRIP Offering, and collectively with the
Initial Offering and the Follow-on Offering, the Offerings). As of March 31, 2011, the Company
had issued approximately 219.9 million shares of common stock in its Offerings for aggregate gross
proceeds of $2.2 billion (including proceeds from the issuance of shares pursuant to the DRIP
Offering of $224.6 million), before share redemptions of $94.1 million. As of March 31, 2011, the
Company had incurred an aggregate of $188.3 million in offering costs, selling commissions, and
dealer management fees in the Offerings.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for the
interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature,
necessary to present a fair presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The information included in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, and related notes
thereto set forth in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
The Company evaluates the need to consolidate joint ventures based on standards set forth in
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810,
Consolidation (ASC 810). In determining whether the Company has a controlling interest in a
joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers
factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive
participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest
entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

March 31, 2011
Valuation of Real Estate and Related Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that
the carrying amounts of its real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable.
Impairment indicators that the Company considers include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy or
other credit concerns of a propertys major tenant, such as a history of late payments, rental
concessions, and other factors, a significant decrease in a propertys revenues due to lease
terminations, vacancies, co-tenancy clauses, reduced lease rates or other circumstances. When
indicators of potential impairment are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of the
assets by determining whether the carrying value of the assets will be recovered through the
undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual
disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the
carrying value, the Company will adjust the real estate and related intangible assets to their fair
value and recognize an impairment loss.
The Company continues to monitor certain properties for which it has identified impairment
indicators. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had eight properties with an aggregate book value of
$59.8 million for which it had assessed the recoverability of the carrying values. For each of
these properties, the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of these
properties and their related intangible assets and their eventual disposition continued to exceed
the carrying value of these assets as of March 31, 2011. Should the conditions related to any of
these properties change, the underlying assumptions used to determine the expected undiscounted
future operating cash flows may change and adversely affect the recoverability of the carrying
values related to these properties. No impairment losses were recorded during each of the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Projections of expected future cash flows require the Company to use estimates such as current
market rental rates on vacant properties, future market rental income amounts subsequent to the
expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, terminal capitalization and
discount rates, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property, required tenant
improvements and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of alternative
assumptions in the future cash flow analysis could result in a different assessment of the
propertys future cash flow and a different conclusion regarding the existence of an impairment,
the extent of such loss, if any, as well as the carrying value of the real estate and related
intangible assets.
Restricted Cash and Escrows
Restricted cash of $7.3 million and $8.3 million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively, represented tenant and capital improvements, leasing commissions, repairs and
maintenance and other lender reserves for certain properties, in accordance with the respective
lenders loan agreement.
Concentration of Credit Risk
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had cash on deposit, including restricted cash, in five
financial institutions, four of which had deposits in excess of federally insured levels totaling
$35.4 million; however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company
limits significant cash holdings to accounts held by financial institutions with high credit
standing; therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2011 consisted of the Companys
non-controlling majority interest in a joint venture that owns a multi-tenant property in
Independence, Missouri and a majority interest in a joint venture that owns a ten-property storage
facility portfolio. Consolidation of these investments is not required as the entities do not
qualify as variable interest entities and do not meet the control requirements for consolidation,
as defined in ASC 810. Both the Company and the respective joint venture partner must approve
decisions about the respective entitys activities that have a significant effect on the success of
the entity. As of March 31, 2011, the aggregate carrying value of assets held within the
unconsolidated joint ventures was $147.5 million and the face value of the non-recourse mortgage
notes payable was $111.1 million. As of December 31, 2010, the aggregate carrying value of assets
held within the unconsolidated joint ventures was $148.6 million and the face value of the
non-recourse mortgage notes payable was $111.6 million.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
March 31, 2011
The Company accounts for the unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of
accounting per guidance established under ASC 323, Investments Equity Method and Joint Ventures
(ASC 323). The equity method of accounting requires the investments to be initially recorded at
cost and subsequently adjusted for the Companys share of equity in the joint ventures earnings
and distributions. The Company evaluates the carrying amount of each investment for impairment in
accordance with ASC 323. The unconsolidated joint ventures are reviewed for potential impairment if
the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value. To determine whether impairment is
other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the
investment until the carrying value is fully recovered. The evaluation of an investment in a joint
venture for potential impairment can require the Companys management to exercise significant
judgments and assumptions. The use of different judgments and assumptions could result in
different conclusions. No impairment losses were recorded related to the unconsolidated joint
ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.
Redeemable Common Stock
The Companys share redemption program provides that the Company will not redeem in excess of
3% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year (including
shares requested for redemption upon the death of a stockholder), and the cash available for
redemptions (including those upon death or qualifying disability) is limited to the net cumulative
proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to the DRIP Offering. In addition, the Company will
redeem shares on a quarterly basis, at the rate of one-fourth of 3% of the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year (including shares requested for redemption
upon the death of a stockholder). Funding for redemptions for each quarter (including those upon
death or qualifying disability of a stockholder) will also be limited to the net proceeds the
Company receives from the sale of shares during such quarter from the DRIP Offering. As of March
31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had redeemed approximately 10.3 million and
approximately 8.8 million shares of common stock, respectively, for an aggregate price of $94.1
million and $82.2 million, respectively.
The redemption price per share is dependent on the length of time the shares are held and the
estimated share value. For purposes of establishing the redemption price per share, estimated
share value means the most recently disclosed estimated value of the Companys shares of common
stock, as determined by the Companys board of directors, including a majority of the Companys
independent directors (the Estimated Share Value). As of March 31, 2011, the Estimated Share
Value was $8.05 per share, as determined by the Companys board of directors on June 22, 2010.
NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in 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 the Company has 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 the Companys assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.

The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the
Companys financial assets and liabilities:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and tenant receivables, and accounts payable
and accrued expenses The Company considers 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.
Mortgage notes receivable The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash
flows on the notes at rates at which management believes similar loans would be made as of March
31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The estimated fair value of these notes was $83.2 million and $83.9
million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, as compared to the carrying
values of $79.0 million and $79.8 million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Notes payable, line of credit and repurchase agreement The fair value is estimated using a
discounted cash flow technique based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Company as of
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The estimated fair value of the notes payable, line of
credit and repurchase agreement was $1.7 billion as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, which
was equal to the carrying value of $1.7 billion as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Marketable securities The Companys marketable securities, including those pledged as
collateral, are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 3 inputs. The Company primarily
uses estimated non-binding quoted market prices from the trading desks of financial institutions
that are dealers in such bonds, where available, for similar CMBS tranches that actively
participate in the CMBS market, adjusted for industry benchmarks, such as the CMBX Index, where
applicable. Market conditions, such as interest rates, liquidity, trading activity and credit
spreads, may cause significant variability to the received quotes. If the Company is unable to
obtain quotes from third parties or if the Company believes quotes received are inaccurate, the
Company would estimate fair value using internal models that primarily consider the CMBX Index,
expected cash flows, known and expected defaults and rating agency reports. Changes in market
conditions, as well as changes in the assumptions or methodology used to estimate fair value, could
result in a significant increase or decrease in the recorded amount of the securities. As of March
31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no marketable securities were valued using internal models.
Significant judgment is involved in valuations and different judgments and assumptions used in
managements valuation could result in different valuations. If there continues to be significant
disruptions to the financial markets, the Companys estimates of fair value may have significant
volatility.
Derivative Instruments The Companys derivative instruments represent interest rate swaps.
All derivative instruments are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 2 inputs. The fair
value of these instruments is determined using interest rate market pricing models. The Company
includes the impact of credit valuation adjustments on derivative instruments measured at fair
value.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments.
Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the
Company could realize, or be liable for, on disposition of the financial instruments.

NOTE 6 INVESTMENT IN MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE
As of March 31, 2011, the Company owned 69 mortgage notes receivable, which were secured by 43
restaurant properties and 26 single-tenant retail properties (each, a Mortgage Note, and
collectively, the Mortgage Notes). As of March 31, 2011, the Mortgage Notes balance of $79.0
million consisted of the face amount of the Mortgage Notes of $72.4 million, a $6.9 million
premium, $2.0 million of acquisition costs, and was net of accumulated amortization of premium and
acquisition costs of $2.3 million. As of December 31, 2010, the Mortgage Notes balance of $79.8
million consisted of the face amount of the Mortgage Notes of $73.0 million, a $6.9 million
premium, $2.0 million of acquisition costs, and was net of accumulated amortization of premium and
acquisition costs of $2.1 million. The premium and acquisition costs are amortized into interest
income over the term of each of the Mortgage Notes using the effective interest rate method. The
Mortgage Notes mature on various dates from August 1, 2020 to January 1, 2021. Interest and
principal are due each month at interest rates ranging from 8.60% to 10.47% per annum and a
weighted average interest rate of 9.88%. There were no amounts past due as of March 31, 2011.
The Company evaluates the collectability of both interest and principal on each Mortgage Note
to determine whether it is collectible, primarily through the evaluation of credit quality
indicators, such as underlying collateral and payment history. No impairment losses or allowances
were recorded related to the Mortgage Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.
NOTE 7 MARKETABLE SECURITIES
As of March 31, 2011, the Company owned four CMBS bonds, with an estimated aggregate fair
value of $60.9 million. As of December 31, 2010, the Company owned six CMBS bonds, with an
estimated aggregate fair value of $82.0 million. In March, 2011, the Company sold two of the CMBS
bonds for $20.2 million, and realized a gain on the sale of $7.9 million, of which $7.7 million had
previously been recorded in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses from the sale of
available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis.
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the securities were pledged as collateral to a
bank under a repurchase agreement (the Repurchase Agreement), which provided secured borrowings
in the amount of $44.7 million and $54.3 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest
rate of 1.46% and 1.68%, respectively (see Note 9 below). The following provides the activity for
the CMBS bonds during the three months ended March 31, 2011 (in thousands):

One CMBS bond was in an unrealized loss position of $785,000 as of March 31, 2011. The
remaining three CMBS bonds were in an unrealized gain position of $7.7 million as of March 31,
2011. All of the six CMBS bonds were in an unrealized gain position as of December 31, 2010.
As of March 31, 2011, the cumulative unrealized loss of $785,000, which is included in
accumulated other comprehensive income on the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited balance
sheets, was deemed to be a temporary impairment based upon (i) the Company having no intent to sell
the security before recovery, (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required
to sell the security before recovery; and (iii) the Companys expectation to recover the entire
amortized cost basis of the security. The Company determined that the cumulative unrealized loss
resulted from volatility in interest rates and credit spreads and other qualitative factors
relating to macro-credit conditions in the mortgage market. Additionally, as of March 31, 2011,
the Company had determined that the subordinate CMBS tranches below the Companys CMBS investment
adequately protected the Companys ability to recover its investment and that the Companys
estimates of anticipated future cash flows from the CMBS investment had not been adversely impacted
by any deterioration in the creditworthiness of the specific CMBS issuers.

Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended
use and the designation of the derivative instrument. The change in fair value of the effective
portion of the derivative instrument that is designated as a hedge is recorded as other
comprehensive income or loss. The Company designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges,
to hedge the variability of the anticipated cash flows on its variable rate notes payable.
The following table summarizes the gains and losses on the Companys derivative instruments
and hedging activities (in thousands):

(1) | There were no portions of the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements that were considered ineffective during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. No previously effective portion of gains or losses that were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income during the term of the hedging relationship was reclassified into earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. |
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision
whereby, if the Company defaults on certain of its unsecured indebtedness, then the Company could
also be declared in default on its derivative obligations resulting in an acceleration of payment.
In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its
derivative counterparties. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into
agreements with credit-worthy counterparties. The Company records counterparty credit risk
valuation adjustments on its interest rate swap derivative asset in order to properly reflect the
credit quality of the counterparty. In addition, the Companys fair value of interest rate swap
derivative liabilities is adjusted to reflect the impact of the Companys credit quality. As of
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there have been no termination events or events of default
related to the interest rate swaps.
NOTE 9 NOTES PAYABLE, LINE OF CREDIT AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENT
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had $1.7 billion of debt outstanding, consisting of (i) $1.5
billion in fixed rate mortgage loans (the Fixed Rate Debt), (ii) $38.3 million in variable rate
mortgage loans (the Variable Rate Debt), (iii) $127.1 million outstanding under a senior
unsecured line of credit entered into on December 17, 2010 (the Credit Facility); and (iv) $44.7
million outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement. The aggregate balance of gross real estate
assets and marketable securities, net of gross intangible lease liabilities, securing the Fixed
Rate Debt, Variable Rate Debt and Repurchase Agreement, was $2.7 billion as of March 31, 2011.
Additionally, the combined weighted average interest rate was 5.62% and the weighted average years
to maturity was 4.84 years as of March 31, 2011.
The Credit Facility and certain notes payable contain customary affirmative, negative and
financial covenants, including requirements for minimum net worth and debt service coverage ratios,
in addition to limits on the Companys overall leverage ratios and Variable Rate Debt. The Company
believes it was in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facility and such notes payable as
of March 31, 2011.
Notes Payable
The Fixed Rate Debt has annual interest rates ranging from 4.46% to 7.22%, with a weighted
average annual interest rate of 5.88%, and various maturity dates ranging from April, 2011 through
August, 2031. The Variable Rate Debt has annual interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 200 to 325
basis points, and matures in September, 2011. The notes payable are secured by properties in the
portfolio and their related tenant leases, as well as other real estate related assets on which the
debt was placed. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company repaid $24.5 million of
fixed rate debt, including monthly principal payments on amortizing loans.

Line of Credit
The Credit Facility provides for up to $350.0 million of unsecured borrowings. The Credit
Facility allows the Company to borrow up to $238.9 million in revolving loans (the Revolving
Loans) and $111.1 million in a term loan (the Term Loan). The Credit Facility matures on
December 17, 2013.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company borrowed $29.1 million and repaid
$2.0 million under the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had $111.1 million
outstanding under the Term Loan and an additional $16.0 million in Revolving Loans. Additionally,
the Company has established a letter of credit in the amount of $476,000 from the Credit Facility
lenders to support an escrow agreement between a certain property and that propertys lender. This
letter of credit reduces the amount of borrowings available under the Credit Facility. The Company
executed an interest rate swap agreement on February 24, 2011, which fixed LIBOR for amounts
outstanding under the Term Loan to 1.44%. The all-in rate for the Term Loan includes a spread of
275 to 400 basis points, as determined by the leverage ratio of the Company, which was equal to a
spread of 350 basis points as of March 31, 2011. Revolving Loans outstanding as of March 31, 2011,
bore interest at Bank of Americas prime rate plus 250 basis points.
Repurchase Agreement
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had $44.7 million outstanding under the Repurchase
Agreement, which bears interest at a weighted average interest rate of 1.46% and matured in April
of 2011. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, the Company repaid $25.6 million under the Repurchase
Agreement and renewed the remaining amount outstanding through May 2011. Upon maturity, the Company
may elect to renew the Repurchase Agreement for periods ranging from 15 days to 90 days until the
CMBS bonds, which are pledged as collateral, mature. The CMBS bonds have maturities ranging from
August 2014 to September 2017, with a weighted average remaining term of 5.31 years. The Repurchase
Agreement is being accounted for as a secured borrowing because the Company maintains effective
control of the financed assets.
Under the Repurchase Agreement, the lender retains the right to mark the underlying collateral
to fair value. A reduction in the value of pledged assets would require the Company to provide
additional collateral to fund margin calls. As of March 31, 2011, the amount outstanding under the
Repurchase Agreement was $44.7 million and the marketable securities held as collateral had a fair
value of $60.9 and an amortized cost basis of $54.0 million. There was no cash collateral held by
the counterparty as of March 31, 2011. The Repurchase Agreement is non-recourse to the Company and
Cole OP II.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company borrowed an additional $8.1 million
under the Repurchase Agreement and repaid $17.7 million under the Repurchase Agreement, of which
$14.2 million was in connection with the sale of two of the Companys CMBS bonds (see Note 7
above).

NOTE 11 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation or claims.
The Company is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings of which the outcome is
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial
condition.
Purchase Commitments
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company entered into agreements with
unaffiliated third party sellers, to purchase a 100% interest in 18 properties, subject to meeting
certain criteria, for an aggregate purchase price of $57.2 million, exclusive of closing costs. As
of March 31, 2011, the Company had $1.2 million of property escrow deposits held by escrow agents
in connection with these future property acquisitions, of which $50,000 will be forfeited if the
transactions are not completed. As of May 11, 2011, the Company had purchased 17 of these
properties for $48.6 million, exclusive of closing costs, and no escrow deposits were forfeited.
Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company potentially may be
liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company owns certain properties
that are subject to environmental remediation. In each case, the seller of the property, the tenant
of the property and/or another third party has been identified as the responsible party for
environmental remediation costs related to the respective property. Additionally, in connection
with the purchase of certain of the properties, the respective sellers and/or tenants have
indemnified the Company against future remediation costs. In addition, the Company carries
environmental liability insurance on its properties that provides limited coverage for remediation
liability and pollution liability for third-party bodily injury and property damage claims. The
Company does not believe that the environmental matters identified at such properties will have a
material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, nor is it
aware of any environmental matters at other properties which it believes will have a material
adverse effect on its condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.
NOTE 12 RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS

affiliates in connection with the Offerings, and has incurred and will continue to incur
commissions, fees and expenses in connection with the acquisition, management and sale of the
assets of the Company.
DRIP Offering
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not pay any amounts to
Cole Advisors II for selling commissions, dealer manager fees, or other organization and offering
expense reimbursements incurred in connection with the DRIP Offering.
Acquisitions and Operations
Cole Advisors II or its affiliates also receives acquisition and advisory fees of up to 2.0%
of the contract purchase price of each asset for the acquisition, development or construction of
properties, and will be reimbursed for acquisition expenses incurred in the process of acquiring

The Company paid, and expects to continue to pay, Cole Realty Advisors, Inc. (Cole Realty
Advisors), its affiliated property manager, up to (i) 2.0% of gross revenues received from the
Companys single tenant properties and (ii) 4.0% of gross revenues received from the Companys
multi-tenant properties, plus leasing commissions at prevailing market rates; provided however,
that the aggregate of all property management and leasing fees paid to affiliates plus all payments
to third parties will not exceed the amount that other nonaffiliated management and leasing
companies generally charge for similar services in the same geographic location. Cole Realty
Advisors may subcontract certain of its duties for a fee that may be less than the fee provided for
in the property management agreement. The Company will also reimburse Cole Realty Advisors costs
of managing and leasing the properties.
The Company will reimburse Cole Advisors II for all expenses it paid or incurred in connection
with the services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not
reimburse Cole Advisors II for any amount by which its operating expenses (including the Asset
Management Fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of (i) 2% of
average invested assets, or (ii) 25% of net income other than any additions to reserves for
depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of
assets for that period, unless the Companys independent directors find that a higher level of
expense is justified for that year based on unusual and non-recurring factors. The Company will
not reimburse Cole Advisors II for personnel costs in connection with services for which Cole
Advisors II receives acquisition fees and real estate commissions.
If Cole Advisors II provides services in connection with the origination or refinancing of any
debt financing obtained by the Company that is used to acquire properties or to make other
permitted investments, or that is assumed, directly or indirectly, in connection with the
acquisition of properties, the Company will pay Cole Advisors II or its affiliates a financing
coordination fee equal to 1% of the amount available under such financing; provided however, that
Cole Advisors II or its affiliates shall not be entitled to a financing coordination fee in
connection with the refinancing of any loan secured by any particular property that was previously
subject to a refinancing in which Cole Advisors II or its affiliates received such a fee.
Financing coordination fees payable from loan proceeds from permanent financing are paid to Cole
Advisors II or its affiliates as the Company acquires and/or assumes such permanent financing.
However, no financing coordination fees are paid on loan proceeds from any line of credit until
such time as all net offering proceeds have been invested by the Company.
The Company recorded fees and expense reimbursements as shown in the table below for services
provided by Cole Advisors II and its affiliates related to the services described above during the

Liquidation/Listing
If Cole Advisors II or its affiliates provides a substantial amount of services, as determined
by the Companys independent directors, in connection with the sale of one or more properties, the
Company will pay Cole Advisors II up to one-half of the brokerage commission paid, but in no event
to exceed an amount equal to 2% of the sales price of each property sold. In no event will the
combined real estate commission paid to Cole Advisors II, its affiliates and unaffiliated third
parties exceed 6% of the contract sales price. In addition, after investors have received a return
of their net capital contributions and an 8% annual cumulative, non-compounded return, then Cole
Advisors II is entitled to receive 10% of the remaining net sale proceeds.
Upon listing of the Companys common stock on a national securities exchange, a fee equal to
10% of the amount by which the market value of the Companys outstanding stock plus all
distributions paid by the Company prior to listing, exceeds the sum of the total amount of capital
raised from investors and the amount of cash flow necessary to generate an 8% annual cumulative,
non-compounded return to investors will be paid to Cole Advisors II (the Subordinated Incentive

Upon termination of the advisory agreement with Cole Advisors II, other than termination by
the Company because of a material breach of the advisory agreement by Cole Advisors II, a
performance fee of 10% of the amount, if any, by which (i) the appraised asset value at the time of
such termination plus total distributions paid to stockholders through the termination date exceeds
(ii) the aggregate capital contribution contributed by investors less distributions from sale
proceeds plus payment to investors of an 8% annual, cumulative, non-compounded return on capital.
No subordinated performance fee will be paid to the extent that the Company has already paid or
become obligated to pay Cole Advisors II a subordinated participation in net sale proceeds or the
Subordinated Incentive Listing Fee.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, and 2010, no commissions or fees were incurred
for services provided by Cole Advisors II and its affiliates related to the services described
above.
Other
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, had
been incurred, primarily for the general and administrative, acquisition, construction management,
property and asset management expenses, by Cole Advisors II and its affiliates, but had not yet
been reimbursed by the Company and were included in due to affiliates on the condensed consolidated
unaudited financial statements.
NOTE 13 ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY
Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage Cole Advisors II and its
affiliates to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset
management services, supervision of the management and leasing of properties owned by the Company,
asset acquisition and disposition decisions, the sale of shares of the Companys common stock
available for issue, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company, including
accounting services and investor relations. As a result of these relationships, the Company is
dependent upon Cole Advisors II and its affiliates. In the event that these companies are unable to
provide the Company with these services, the Company would be required to find alternative
providers of these services.
NOTE 14 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In December 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information
for Business Combinations, (ASU 2010-29), which clarifies the manner in which pro forma
disclosures are calculated and provides additional disclosure requirements regarding material
nonrecurring adjustments recorded as a result of a business combination. ASU 2010-29 was effective
for the Company beginning on January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-29 has not had a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 15 INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company has a stock option plan, the Independent Directors Stock Option Plan (the
IDSOP), which authorizes the grant of non-qualified stock options to the Companys independent
directors, subject to the absolute discretion of the board of directors and the applicable
limitations of the IDSOP. The term of the IDSOP is ten years, at which time any outstanding
options will be forfeited. The exercise price for the options granted under the IDSOP was $9.15 per
share for 2005 and 2006, and $9.10 per share for 2007, 2008 and 2009. The Company does not intend
to continue to grant options under the IDSOP; however, the exercise price for any future options
granted under the IDSOP will be at least 100% of the fair market value of the Companys common
stock as of the date the option is granted. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had granted options
to purchase 50,000 shares at a weighted average exercise price of $9.12 per share, of which options
to purchase 45,000 shares remained outstanding with a weighted average contractual remaining life
of six years. Options to purchase 5,000 shares were exercised at a price of $9.10 per share in
2009. A total of 1,000,000 shares have been authorized and reserved for issuance under the IDSOP.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company did not record any stock-based
compensation charges, as all stock-based compensation charges related to unvested share-based
compensation awards granted under the IDSOP had previously been recognized. During the three months
ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded stock-based compensation charges of $4,000. Stock-based
compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reduced for estimated
forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in
subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Companys calculations
assume no forfeitures.

NOTE 16 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Issuance of shares of common stock through DRIP Offering
As of May 11, 2011, the Company had issued approximately 18.3 million shares of common stock
in the DRIP Offering, resulting in gross proceeds of $164.5 million. Combined with the gross
proceeds from the Initial Offering and Follow-on Offering, the Company had aggregate gross proceeds
from the Offerings of $2.2 billion as of May 11, 2011, before offering costs, selling commissions,

estate properties for an aggregate purchase price of $60.1 million. The acquisitions were funded
with available cash, net proceeds from the DRIP Offering and Credit Facility borrowings.
Acquisition related expenses totaling $1.6 million were expensed as incurred. The Company has not
completed its initial purchase price allocations with respect to these properties and therefore
cannot provide the disclosures included in Note 5 for these properties.

record as of the close of business on each day of the period
commencing on July 1, 2011 and ending
on September 30, 2011. This daily distribution equates to an annualized return of approximately
6.25%, based on the original offering price of $10.00 per share, and an annualized return of
approximately 7.76%, based on the most recent estimate of the value of the Companys shares of
$8.05 per share.

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2010. The terms we, us, our and the Company refer to Cole Credit
Property Trust II, Inc. and unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall

control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. A full discussion of our Risk Factors may
be found under Part I Item 1A Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2010.
Forward-looking statements that were true at the time made may ultimately prove to be

Form 10-Q. 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.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements

conditions, changes in real estate conditions, construction costs that may exceed estimates,
construction delays, increases in interest rates, lease-up risks, rent relief, inability to obtain
new tenants upon the expiration or termination of existing leases, and the potential need to fund
tenant improvements or other capital expenditures out of operating cash flows. The forward-looking
statements should be read in light of the risk factors identified in the Risk Factors section of
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we
evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on managements historical industry experience
and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Overview
We were formed on September 29, 2004 to acquire and operate commercial real estate primarily
consisting of freestanding, single-tenant, retail properties net leased to investment grade and
other creditworthy tenants located throughout the United States. We commenced our principal
operations on September 23, 2005, when we issued the initial 486,000 shares of our common stock in
our Initial Offering. We have no paid employees and are externally advised and managed by Cole
Advisors II, our advisor. We currently qualify, and intend to continue to elect to qualify, as a
REIT for federal income tax purposes.
22
Table of Contents
Our operating results and cash flows are primarily influenced by rental income from our
commercial properties and interest expense on our property indebtedness. Rental and other property
income accounted for 87% and 88% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and
2010, respectively. As 95% of our rentable square feet was under lease as of March 31, 2011, with a
weighted average remaining lease term of 11.1 years, we believe our exposure to changes in
commercial rental rates on our portfolio is substantially mitigated, except for vacancies caused by
tenant bankruptcies or other factors. Our advisor regularly monitors the creditworthiness of our
tenants by reviewing the tenants financial results, credit rating agency reports (if any) on the
tenant or guarantor, the operating history of the property with such tenant, the tenants market
share and track record within its industry segment, the general health and outlook of the tenants
industry segment, and other information for changes and possible trends. If our advisor identifies
significant changes or trends that may adversely affect the creditworthiness of a tenant, it will
gather a more in-depth knowledge of the tenants financial condition and, if necessary, attempt to
mitigate the tenants credit risk by evaluating the possible sale of the property, or identifying a
possible replacement tenant should the current tenant fail to perform on the lease.
As of March 31, 2011, the debt leverage ratio of our consolidated real estate assets, which is
the ratio of debt to total gross real estate assets and marketable securities, net of gross
intangible lease liabilities, was 50%, with 3.0% of the debt, or $54.3 million, including $16.0
million in Revolving Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility, subject to variable interest
rates. Should we continue to acquire additional commercial real estate, we will be subject to
changes in real estate prices and changes in interest rates on any new indebtedness used to acquire
the properties. We may manage our risk of changes in real estate prices on future property
acquisitions, if any, by entering into purchase agreements and loan commitments simultaneously so
that our operating yield is determinable at the time we enter into a purchase agreement, by
contracting with developers for future delivery of properties, or by entering into sale-leaseback
transactions. We manage our interest rate risk by monitoring the interest rate environment in
connection with our future property acquisitions, if any, or upcoming debt maturities to determine
the appropriate financing or refinancing terms, which may include fixed rate loans, variable rate
loans or interest rate hedges. If we are unable to acquire suitable properties or obtain suitable
financing terms for future acquisitions or refinancing, our results of operations may be adversely
affected.
Recent Market Conditions
Beginning in late 2007, domestic and international financial markets experienced significant
disruptions that were brought about in large part by challenges in the world-wide banking system.
These disruptions severely impacted the availability of credit and have contributed to rising costs
associated with obtaining credit. Recently, the volume of mortgage lending for commercial real
estate has increased and lending terms have improved; however, such lending activity is
significantly less than previous levels. Although lending market conditions have improved, we have
experienced, and may continue to experience, more stringent lending criteria, which may affect our
ability to finance certain property acquisitions or refinance our debt at maturity. For properties
for which we are able to obtain financing, the interest rates and other terms on such loans may be
unacceptable. Additionally, if we are able to refinance our existing debt as it matures, it may be
at lower leverage levels or at rates and terms which are less favorable than our existing debt or,
if we elect to extend the maturity dates of the mortgage notes in accordance with the
hyper-amortization provisions, the interest rates charged to us will be higher, each of which may
adversely affect our results of operations and the distribution rate we are able to pay to our
investors. We have managed, and expect to continue to manage, the current mortgage lending
environment by utilizing borrowings on our Credit Facility, and considering alternative lending
sources, including the securitization of debt, utilizing fixed rate loans, short-term variable rate
loans, assuming existing mortgage loans in connection with property acquisitions, or entering into
interest rate lock or swap agreements, or any combination of the foregoing. We have acquired, and
may continue to acquire, our properties for cash without financing. If we are unable to obtain
suitable financing for future acquisitions or we are unable to identify suitable properties at
appropriate prices in the current credit environment, we may have a larger amount of uninvested
cash, which may adversely affect our results of operations. We will continue to evaluate
alternatives in the current market, including purchasing or originating debt backed by real estate,
which could produce attractive yields in the current market environment.
The economic downturn has led to high unemployment rates and a decline in consumer spending.
These economic trends have adversely impacted the retail and real estate markets, causing higher
tenant vacancies, declining rental rates and declining property values. Recently, the economy has
improved and continues to show signs of recovery. Additionally, the real estate markets have
recently observed an improvement in occupancy rates; however, occupancy and rental rates continue
to be below those previously experienced before the economic downturn. As of March 31, 2011, 95%
of our rentable square feet was under lease. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, our
percentage of rentable square feet under lease increased slightly. However, if the current economic
uncertainty persists, we may experience additional vacancies or be required to further reduce
rental rates on occupied space. Our advisor is actively seeking to lease all of our vacant space,
however, as retailers and other tenants have been delaying or eliminating their store expansion
plans, the amount of time required to re-lease a property has increased.

Table of Contents
Results of Operations
As of March 31, 2011, we owned 727 properties comprising 20.7 million rentable square feet of
single and multi-tenant retail and commercial space located in 45 states and the U.S. Virgin
Islands. As of March 31, 2011, 414 of the properties were freestanding, single-tenant retail
properties, 292 of the properties were freestanding, single-tenant commercial properties and 21 of
the properties were multi-tenant retail properties. Of the leases related to these properties, 13
were classified as direct financing leases, as discussed in Note 4 to our condensed consolidated
unaudited financial statements accompanying this report. As of March 31, 2011, 95% of the rentable
square feet of our properties were leased, with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 11.1
years. In addition, as of March 31, 2011, we owned four CMBS bonds, with an aggregate fair value of
$60.9 million, and 69 mortgage notes receivable, which were secured by 43 restaurant properties and
26 single-tenant retail properties. As of March 31, 2011, we had outstanding debt of $1.7 billion,
secured by properties in our portfolio and their related tenant leases and other real estate
related assets on which the debt was placed. Through two joint ventures, we had a majority indirect
interest in a 386,000 square foot multi-tenant retail building in Independence, Missouri, and a
majority indirect interest in a ten-property storage facility portfolio as of March 31, 2011. As of
March 31, 2011, the total assets held within the unconsolidated joint ventures was $147.5 million
and the face value of the non-recourse mortgage notes payable was $111.1 million.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Revenue. Revenue increased $3.1 million, or 5%, to $69.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2011, compared to $66.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our revenue
consisted primarily of rental and other property income from net leased commercial properties,
which accounted for 87% and 88% of total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and
2010, respectively.
Rental and other property income increased $2.1 million, or 3%, to $61.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $58.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 33 properties subsequent to March 31, 2010.
We also pay certain operating expenses subject to reimbursement by the tenant, which resulted in
$4.8 million in tenant reimbursement income during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared
to $3.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in certain operating expenses related to these properties that are subject to
reimbursement by the tenant, resulting from the 33 new property acquisitions subsequent to March
31, 2011.
Earned income from direct financing leases remained relatively constant, decreasing $88,000,
or 15%, to $486,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $574,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2010. We owned 13 properties accounted for as direct financing leases for
each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Interest income on mortgage notes receivable remained relatively constant decreasing $55,000,
or 3%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $1.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2010, as we recorded interest income on mortgages receivable on 69
amortizing mortgage notes receivable during each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Interest income on marketable securities remained relatively constant at $1.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, increasing $52,000, or 3%, as we recorded interest
income and amortization of discount on our CMBS bonds.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses remained relatively
constant, decreasing $51,000, or 2%, to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011,
compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to lower
accounting fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the three months ended March
31, 2010. The primary general and administrative expense items were operating expenses
reimbursable to our advisor, accounting and legal fees, state franchise and income taxes, and
escrow and trustee fees.
Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses increased $717,000, or 14%, to $5.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $5.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily related to an increase in property taxes for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, resulting from
a decreased number of tenants who are electing to directly pay their respective property taxes. The
primary property operating expense items are property taxes, repairs and maintenance, insurance and
bad debt expense.

Property and Asset Management Expenses. Pursuant to the advisory agreement with our advisor,
as amended, we are required to pay to our advisor a monthly asset management fee equal to
one-twelfth of 0.25% of the aggregate valuation of our invested assets, as determined by
our board of directors. Additionally, we reimburse costs incurred by our advisor in providing asset
management services, subject to certain limitations, as set forth in the advisory agreement.
Pursuant to the property management agreement with our affiliated property manager, we are required
to pay to our property manager a property management fee in an amount up to 2% of gross revenues
received from each of our single-tenant properties and up to 4% of gross revenues received from
each of our multi-tenant properties, less all payments to third-party management subcontractors.
We reimburse Cole Realty Advisors costs of managing and leasing the properties, subject to certain
limitations as set forth in the property management agreement.
Property and asset management expenses remained relatively constant, increasing $44,000, or
1%, to $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $4.3 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2010. Of this amount, property management expenses remained constant
at $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and asset management expenses
increased to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $2.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to an increase in asset management fees related to
33 new properties acquired subsequent to March 31, 2010.
Acquisition Related Expenses. Acquisition related expenses were $362,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2011. We made no real estate acquisitions during the three months ended March 31,
2010 and no acquisition related expenses were recorded. The increase in acquisition related
expenses is a result of the purchase of two properties and costs incurred related to potential
future acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $1.0
million, or 5%, to $22.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $21.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily related to
depreciation and amortization on 33 new properties acquired subsequent to March 31, 2010.
Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures and other income. Equity in income of
unconsolidated joint ventures and other income increased $72,000, or 75%, to $168,000 during the
three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $96,000 during the three months ended March 31,
2010. The increase was primarily due to recording a smaller loss for one of our joint ventures
during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Gain on sale of marketable securities During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we
recorded a gain on sale of marketable securities of $7.9 million in connection with the sale of two
CMBS bonds, as discussed in Note 7 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. No similar transactions occurred during the three months ended
March 31, 2010.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $1.3 million, or 5%, to $26.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $25.2 million during the three months ended March
31, 2010, primarily due to an increase of $117.0 million in the average outstanding debt balance
resulting from borrowings incurred to acquire 33 properties subsequent to March 31, 2010.
Funds From Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
Funds From Operations (FFO) is a non-GAAP financial performance measure defined by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) and widely recognized by investors
and analysts as one measure of operating performance of a real estate company. The FFO calculation
excludes items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, and gains and losses on the sale
of real estate assets. Depreciation and amortization as applied in accordance with GAAP implicitly
assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate
values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, it is managements view, and we
believe the view of many industry investors and analysts, that the presentation of operating
results for real estate companies by using the cost accounting method alone is insufficient. In
addition, FFO excludes gains and losses from the sale of real estate, which we believe provides
management and investors with a helpful additional measure of the performance of our real estate
portfolio, as it allows for comparisons, year to year, that reflect the impact on operations from
trends in items such as occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative
expenses, and interest costs.
In addition to FFO, we use Modified Funds From Operations (MFFO) as a non-GAAP supplemental
financial performance measure to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate portfolio.
MFFO, as defined by our company, excludes from FFO acquisition related costs and real estate
impairment charges, which are required to be expensed in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating the
performance of our portfolio over time, management employs business models and analyses that
differentiate the costs to acquire investments from the investments revenues and expenses.
Management believes that excluding acquisition costs from MFFO provides investors with supplemental
performance information that is consistent with the performance models and analysis used by
management, and provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time, including
after the Company ceases to acquire properties on a frequent and regular basis. MFFO also allows
for a comparison of the performance of our portfolio with other REITs that are not currently
engaging in acquisitions, as well as a comparison of our performance with that of other non-traded
REITs, as MFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by non-traded REITs, and we believe
often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.
25
Table of Contents
Additionally, impairment charges are items that management does not include in its evaluation
of the operating performance of its real estate investments, as management believes that the impact
of these items will be reflected over time through changes in rental income or other related costs.
As many other non-traded REITs exclude impairments in reporting their MFFO, we believe that our
calculation and reporting of MFFO will also assist investors and analysts in comparing our
performance versus other non-traded REITs.
For all of these reasons, we believe FFO and MFFO, in addition to net income and cash flows
from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, are helpful supplemental performance measures and
useful in understanding the various ways in which our management evaluates the performance of our
real estate portfolio over time. However, not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so
comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. FFO and MFFO should not be considered as
alternatives to net income or to cash flows from operating activities, and are not intended to be
used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs.
MFFO may provide investors with a useful indication of our future performance, particularly
after our acquisition stage, and of the sustainability of our current distribution policy. However,
because MFFO excludes acquisition expenses, which are an important component in an analysis of the
historical performance of a property, MFFO should not be construed as a historic performance
measure. Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any other regulatory body has evaluated the acceptability of
the exclusions contemplated to adjust FFO in order to calculate MFFO and its use as a non-GAAP
financial performance measure.
Our calculation of FFO and MFFO, and reconciliation to net income, which is the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the table below for the three months ended March
31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands). FFO and MFFO are influenced by the timing of acquisitions and
the operating performance of our real estate investments.

| In March 2011, we sold two CMBS bonds for $20.2 million, and realized a gain on the sale of $7.9 million, of which $7.7 million had previously been recorded in other comprehensive income. No sales of CMBS bonds occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2010. |
| In order to recognize revenues on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, we recognized additional revenue by straight-lining rental revenue of $2.7 million and $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, related to our unconsolidated joint ventures, straight-line revenue of $8,000 and $12,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, is included in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures. |
| Amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of fair value adjustments of mortgage notes assumed totaled $2.2 million and $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, related to our unconsolidated joint ventures, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of fair value adjustments of mortgage notes assumed totaled $135,000 and $252,000, which is included in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. |

Distributions
On November 10, 2010, our board of directors authorized a daily distribution, based on 365
days in the calendar year, of $0.001712523 per share (which equates to 6.25% on an annualized basis
calculated at the current rate, assuming a $10.00 per share purchase price, and an annualized
return of approximately 7.76%, based on the most recent estimate of the value of our shares of
$8.05 per share) for stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period,
commencing on January 1, 2011 and ending on March 31, 2011. On March 7, 2011, our board of
directors authorized a daily distribution, based on 365 days in the calendar year, of $0.001712523
per share (which equates to 6.25% on an annualized basis calculated at the current rate, assuming a
$10.00 per share purchase price, and an annualized return of approximately 7.76%, based on the most
recent estimate of the value of the Companys shares of $8.05 per share) for stockholders of record
as of the close of business on each day of the period, commencing on April 1, 2011 and ending on
June 30, 2011.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, we paid distributions of
$32.2 million and $31.6 million, including $14.9 million and $15.5 million, respectively, through
the issuance of shares pursuant to our DRIP Offering. Our distributions for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 were funded by net cash provided by operating activities of $26.1 million, return of
capital from unconsolidated joint ventures of $1.0 million, and proceeds from the sale of
marketable securities of $5.1 million. Our distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2010
were funded by net cash provided by operating activities of $26.2 million and borrowings of $5.4
million.
Share Redemptions
Our share redemption program provides that we will redeem shares of our common stock from
requesting stockholders, subject to the terms and conditions of the share redemption program. On
November 10, 2009, our Board of Directors voted to temporarily suspend our share redemption program
other than for requests made upon the death of a stockholder. Effective August 1, 2010, our board
of directors reinstated our share redemption program and adopted several amendments to the program.
In particular, during any calendar year, we will not redeem in excess of 3% of the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year and the cash available for
redemption is limited to the proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to our DRIP Offering during
such calendar year. In addition, we will redeem shares on a quarterly basis, at the rate of
approximately one-fourth of 3% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
prior calendar year (including shares requested for redemption upon the death of a stockholder).
Funding for redemptions for each quarter will be limited to the net proceeds we receive from the
sale of shares, during such quarter, from our DRIP Offering.
Pursuant to the share redemption program, as amended, the redemption price per share is
dependent on the length of time the shares are held and the most recently disclosed Estimated Share
Value. As of March 31, 2011, the Estimated Share Value is $8.05 per share, as determined by the
Board of Directors on June 22, 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we received
valid redemption requests pursuant to the share redemption program, as amended, relating to
approximately 4.8 million shares, and requests relating to approximately 1.5 million shares were
redeemed for $12.2 million at an average price of $7.86 per share subsequent to March 31, 2011. The
remaining redemption requests relating to approximately 3.3 million shares went unfulfilled,
including those requests unfulfilled and resubmitted from a previous period. Requests for
redemptions that are not fulfilled in a period may be resubmitted by stockholders in a subsequent
period. Unfulfilled requests for redemptions are not carried over automatically to subsequent
redemption periods. A valid redemption request is one that complies with the applicable
requirements and guidelines of our share redemption program, as amended, and set forth in our Form
8-K filed on June 22, 2010. We have funded and intend to continue funding share redemptions with
proceeds from our DRIP Offering.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our principal demands for funds are for the payment of principal and interest on our
outstanding indebtedness, operating and property maintenance expenses and distributions to and
redemptions by our stockholders. We may also acquire additional real estate and real
estate-related investments. Generally, cash needs for payments of interest, operating and property
maintenance expenses and distributions to stockholders will be generated from cash flows from
operations from our real estate assets. The sources of our operating cash flows are primarily
driven by the rental income received from leased properties, interest income earned on mortgage
notes receivable, marketable securities and on our cash balances and by distributions from our
unconsolidated joint ventures. We expect to utilize the available cash from issuance of shares
under the DRIP Offering, available borrowings on our Credit Facility and Repurchase Agreement and
possible additional financings and refinancings to repay our outstanding indebtedness and complete
possible future property acquisitions.
27
Table of Contents
As of March 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $34.2 million and available
borrowings of $222.4 million under our Credit Facility. Additionally, as of March 31, 2011, we had
unencumbered properties with a gross book value of $736.5 million, including assets that are part
of the Credit Facilitys unencumbered borrowing base, that may be used as collateral to secure
additional financing in future periods or as additional collateral to facilitate the refinancing of
current mortgage debt as it becomes due, subject to certain covenants and leverage and borrowing
base restrictions related to our Credit Facility.
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through cash provided by property
operations. As of March 31, 2011, we had a total of $164.0 million of debt maturing within the next
12 months, including $81.0 million of the Fixed Rate Debt, $38.3 million of the Variable Rate Debt,
and $44.7 million outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement. In addition, as of March 31, 2011, we
had outstanding purchase agreements to purchase 18 properties for an aggregate purchase price of
$57.2 million, exclusive of closing costs, which we expect to fund with proceeds from our Credit
Facility. Of the $164.0 million of debt maturing in the next 12 months, $78.7 million, including
amounts outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement, contain extension options, and $38.7 million
includes hyper-amortization provisions that would require us to apply 100% of the rents received
from the properties securing the debt to pay interest due on the loans, reserves, if any, and
principal reductions until such balance is paid in full through the extended maturity dates, all of
which will adversely affect our available cash for distributions should we exercise these options.
If we are unable to extend, finance, or refinance the amounts maturing of $164.0 million, we expect
to pay down any remaining amounts through a combination of the use of cash provided by property
operations, available borrowings on our Credit Facility, under which $222.4 million was available
as of March 31, 2011, borrowings on our unencumbered properties, proceeds from our DRIP Offering,
and/or the strategic sale of real estate and related assets. In addition, we may elect to extend
the maturity dates of the mortgage notes in accordance with the hyper-amortization provisions, if
available. If we are able to refinance our existing debt as it matures it may be at rates and
terms that are less favorable than our existing debt or, if we elect to extend the maturity dates
of the mortgage notes in accordance with the hyper-amortization provisions, the interest rates
charged to us will be higher than each respective current interest rate, each of which may
adversely affect our results of operations and the distributions we are able to pay to our
investors. The Credit Facility and certain notes payable contain customary affirmative, negative
and financial covenants, including requirements for minimum net worth, debt service coverage ratios
and leverage ratios, in addition to variable rate debt and investment restrictions. These covenants
may limit our ability to incur additional debt and the amount of available borrowings on our Credit
Facility.
Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through proceeds from secured or
unsecured financings from banks and other lenders, borrowing on our Credit Facility, available cash
from issuance of shares under the DRIP Offering, the selective and strategic sale of properties and
net cash flows from operations. We expect that our primary uses of capital will be for property and
other asset acquisitions and the payment of tenant improvements, operating expenses, including debt
service payments on any outstanding indebtedness, and distributions and redemptions to our
stockholders.
We expect that substantially all 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 the proceeds of our DRIP Offering, cash advanced to us by our
advisor, borrowing on our Credit Facility and/or borrowings in anticipation of future cash flow.
To the extent that cash flows from operations are lower due to lower than expected returns on the
properties or we elect to retain cash flows from operations to make additional real estate
investments or reduce our outstanding debt, distributions paid to our stockholders may be lower. We
expect that substantially all net cash resulting from the DRIP Offering or debt financing will be
used to fund acquisitions, for certain capital expenditures identified at acquisition, for
repayments of outstanding debt, or for any distributions to stockholders in excess of cash flows
from operations and redemption of shares from our stockholders.
As of March 31, 2011, we had received and accepted subscriptions for 219.9 million shares of
common stock in the Offerings for gross proceeds of $2.2 billion. As of March 31, 2011, we had
redeemed a total of 10.3 million shares of common stock for a cost of $94.1 million. Redemption
request relating to approximately 3.3 million shares that were received during the three months
ended March 31, 2011 went unfulfilled.

Table of Contents
As of March 31, 2011, we had $1.7 billion of debt outstanding, consisting of (i) $1.5 billion
of Fixed Rate Debt, which includes $122.5 million of variable rate debt swapped to fixed rates,
(ii) $38.3 million of Variable Rate Debt, (iii) $127.1 million outstanding under the Credit
Facility, which includes $111.1 million swapped to a fixed rate, and (iv) $44.7 million outstanding
under the Repurchase Agreement. See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial
statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional terms of the Credit Facility and
Repurchase Agreement. The Fixed Rate Debt has annual interest rates ranging from 4.46% to 7.22%,
with a weighted average interest rate of 5.88%, and matures on various dates from April 2011
through August 2031. The Variable Rate Debt has annual interest rates that range from one-month
LIBOR plus 200 to 325 basis points, and various maturity dates in September 2011. Additionally, the
ratio of debt to total gross real estate and related assets net of gross intangible lease
liabilities, as of March 31, 2011, was 50% and the weighted average years to maturity was 4.8
years.
As of March 31, 2011, the interest rate in effect for Revolving Loans outstanding under the
Credit Facility was the Bank of America prime rate plus 250 basis points and the interest rate in
effect for the Term Loan outstanding under the Credit Facility was 4.94%. Additionally, as of March
31, 2011, the weighted average interest rate in effect for the Repurchase Agreement was 1.46%.

depreciation and other non-cash reserves) or fair value of all assets owned by us, unless approved
by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly
report.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we entered into agreements with unaffiliated
third party sellers, to purchase a 100% interest in 18 properties, subject to meeting certain
criteria, for an aggregate purchase price of $57.2 million, exclusive of closing costs. As of March
31, 2011, we had $1.2 million of property escrow deposits held by escrow agents in connection with
these future property acquisitions, of which $50,000 will be forfeited if the transactions are not
completed. As of May 11, 2011, we had purchased 17 of these properties for $48.6 million, exclusive
of closing costs, and no escrow deposits were forfeited.

Cash Flow Analysis
Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities remained relatively constant,
decreasing $119,000, or less than 1%, to $26.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011
compared to $26.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
The decrease was primarily due to an increase in net income of $7.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010, which was offset by a non-cash adjustment
from a gain on the sale of marketable securities of $7.9 million for the three months ended March
31, 2011.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased $556,000, or 165%, to
$892,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $336,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily related to the acquisition of two properties for a total
purchase price of $8.7 million, combined with an increase in the additions to real estate assets of
$13.0 million resulting from a build out at one of our properties during the three months ended
March 31, 2011. These increases were offset by $20.2 million of proceeds received from the sale of
marketable securities during the three months ended March 31, 2011. No properties were acquired and
no marketable securities were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities increased $15.7 million, or 74%,
to $36.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $21.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily due to an increase in cash used for the
redemptions of common stock of $9.1 million combined with an increase in cash used to repay
mortgage notes payable and the Repurchase Agreement borrowings of $25.6 million and $17.7 million,
respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March
31, 2010. These amounts were partially offset with an increase in proceeds from our Credit
Facility of $29.1 million and an increase in proceeds from the Repurchase Agreement of $8.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Election as a REIT
We are taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To maintain our
qualification as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain requirements relating to our
organization, sources of income, nature of assets, distributions of income to our stockholders and
recordkeeping. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income
that we distribute to our stockholders so long as we distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable
income (computed with regard to the dividends paid deduction excluding net capital gains).
If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year and
applicable relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax, including any applicable
alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We will not be able to
deduct distributions paid to our stockholders in any year in which we fail to maintain our
qualification as a REIT. We also will 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. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available
for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a
manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. No provision for
federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial
statements. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties
in certain locations, which have been provided for in our accompanying condensed consolidated
unaudited financial statements.
Inflation
We are exposed to inflation risk as income from long-term leases is the primary source of our
cash flows from operations. There are provisions in certain of our tenant leases that are intended
to protect us from, and mitigate the risk of, the impact of inflation. These provisions include
rent steps and clauses enabling us to receive payment of additional rent calculated as a percentage
of the tenants gross sales above pre-determined thresholds. In addition, most of our leases
require the tenant to pay all or a majority of the operating expenses, including real estate taxes,
special assessments and sales and use taxes, utilities, insurance and building repairs, related to
the property. However, due to the long-term nature of the leases, the leases may not re-set
frequently enough to adequately offset the effects of inflation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies have been established to conform to GAAP. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting
policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.
If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to the various
transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been
applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally,
other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of
operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We consider our critical accounting

New Accounting Pronouncements
There are no accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet adopted by us that
will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements
that had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
In connection with property acquisitions, we have obtained variable rate debt financing to
fund certain property acquisitions, and therefore we are exposed to changes in LIBOR and a banks
prime rate. Our objectives in managing interest rate risk will be to limit the impact of interest
rate changes on operations and cash flows, and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these
objectives we will borrow primarily at interest rates with the lowest margins available and, in
some cases, with the ability to convert variable interest rates to fixed rates. We have entered and
expect to continue to enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and
caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a given financial instrument. We have not
entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative
purposes. We may enter into rate lock arrangements to lock interest rates on future borrowings.
As of March 31, 2011, $54.3 million of the $1.7 billion outstanding on notes payable, the
Credit Facility, and the Repurchase Agreement was subject to variable interest rates. Revolving
Loan amounts due under the Credit Facility bore interest at Bank of Americas prime rate plus 250
basis points. The remaining variable rate debt bore interest at the one-month LIBOR plus 200 to 325
basis points. As of March 31, 2011, an increase of 50 basis points in interest rates would result
in a change in interest expense of $272,000 per year, assuming all of our derivatives remain
effective hedges.
As of March 31, 2011, we had six interest rate swap agreements outstanding, which mature on
various dates from September 2011 through March 2016, with an aggregate notional amount under the
swap agreements of $233.6 million and an aggregate net fair value of ($3.4) million. The fair value
of these interest rate swaps is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads. As
of March 31, 2011, an increase of 50 basis points in interest rates would result in an increase to
the fair value of these interest rate swaps of $2.4 million. These interest rate swaps were
designated as hedging instruments.
We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency
fluctuations.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange
Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that
evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2011, were effective in all material respects to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms
promulgated under the Exchange Act, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including
our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d -15(f) of the Exchange Act) in connection with the foregoing evaluations that
occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
In the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to litigation or claims. We are not
aware of any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental
to our business.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
As of March 31, 2011, we had accepted subscriptions for 219,927,268 shares (including shares
sold pursuant to our DRIP Offering and net of redemptions) of common stock in the Offerings,
resulting in gross proceeds of $2.2 billion, out of which we paid $171.8 million in selling
commissions and dealer manager fees, $68.5 million in acquisition fees, $20.9 million in finance
coordination fees, and $16.3 million in organization and offering costs to our advisor or its
affiliates. We paid no selling commissions, dealer manager fees or organization and offering costs
to Cole Capital during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Total net offering proceeds from the Offerings are thus $1.9 billion as of March 31, 2011.
With the net offering proceeds and indebtedness, we acquired $3.5 billion in real estate and
related assets. As of May 11, 2011, we had sold an aggregate of approximately 220.6 million shares
in our Offerings for gross offering proceeds of $2.2 billion (including shares sold pursuant to our
DRIP Offering). We did not sell any unregistered equity securities during the three months ended
March 31, 2011.
Our board of directors has adopted a share redemption program that enables our stockholders
who hold their shares for more than one year to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances.
On November 10, 2009, our board of directors voted to temporarily suspend our share redemption
program other than for requests made upon the death of a stockholder, which we will continue to
accept. On June 22, 2010, our board of directors reinstated our share redemption program,
effective August 1, 2010, and adopted several amendments to the program. Under the terms of the
revised share redemption program, during any calendar year, we will redeem shares on a quarterly
basis, at the rate of approximately one-fourth of 3% of the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the prior calendar year (including shares requested for redemption upon the
death of a stockholder). Funding for redemptions for each quarter are limited to the net proceeds
we receive from the sale of shares, in that quarter, under our DRIP Offering. These limits might
prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any fiscal quarter or in any twelve
month period. Our board of directors also reserves the right, in its sole discretion at any time,
and from time to time, to reject any request for redemption for any reason.
The provisions of the share redemption program in no way limit our ability to repurchase
shares from stockholders by any other legally available means for any reason that our board of
directors, in its discretion, deems to be in our best interest. During the three months ended
March 31, 2011, we redeemed shares as follows:
