NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2013
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 Company’s 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 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, 2013, the Company owned 750 properties comprising 21.2 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, 2013, the rentable space at these properties was 96% leased. As of March 31, 2013, 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.
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 continued to issue shares of common stock under its distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP Offering”, and collectively with the Initial Offering and the Follow-on Offering, the “Offerings”) until December 6, 2012, when the board of directors, including all of its independent directors, voted to suspend the DRIP Offering and the Company’s share redemption program.
As of March 31, 2013, the Company had issued approximately 231.2 million shares of common stock in the Offerings for aggregate gross proceeds of $2.3 billion (including proceeds from the issuance of shares pursuant to the DRIP Offering of $261.3 million), before share redemptions of $206.2 million. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had incurred an aggregate of $188.3 million in offering costs, selling commissions, and dealer manager fees in the Offerings.
The Company’s stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange. On January 22, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (“Spirit”), a publicly-listed REIT. The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Spirit with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Merger, each share of Spirit common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be canceled and converted into the right to receive 1.9048 shares of the Company’s common stock (which equates to an inverse exchange ratio of 0.525 shares of Spirit common stock for each share of the Company’s common stock) and each share of Company common stock issued and outstanding shall represent a share of the surviving corporation. Upon the closing of the Merger, the surviving corporation will list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and trade under Spirit’s existing ticker “SRC”.
The completion of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including, among others: (i) approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Spirit; (ii) approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company; (iii) the authorization of the listing of the surviving corporation shares on the NYSE; (iv) the registration statement on Form S-4 registering the applicable surviving corporation shares to be issued as consideration for the Merger having been declared effective by the SEC; and (v) the obtaining of certain third party consents.
There are no assurances that the Merger will be consummated on the expected timetable, or at all. If the Merger is consummated, it is expected to significantly change the scope of the Company’s business and, as a result, the Company’s historical results of operations may not necessarily be representative of the Company’s future results of operations. Unless otherwise stated, all disclosures and discussion in this Form 10-Q do not include the expected effects of the Merger.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred $11.4 million for legal, consulting and other expenses related to the Merger.

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 for 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 Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, and related notes thereto set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in the condensed consolidated unaudited statements of operations to combine acquisition related expenses with general and administrative expenses.
The Company evaluates its relationships and investments to determine if it has variable interests. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. If the Company determines that it has a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether such interest is in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is broadly defined as an entity where either (1) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company consolidates any VIEs when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s operations.
A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, its form of ownership interest, its representation on the entity’s governing body, the size and seniority of its investment, its ability and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions and to replace the manager of and/or liquidate the entity.
The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate joint ventures, if any, based on standards set forth in GAAP. 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, power to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has no relationship, investment or other interests in entities that are or were required to be consolidated because the Company has no variable interests in an entity that qualifies as a VIE.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
March 31, 2013
Investment in and 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 assets may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators that the Company considers include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a property’s major tenant, such as a history of late payments, rental concessions, and other factors, a significant decrease in a property’s 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 amount of the assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future 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 amount, the Company will adjust the real estate and related assets to their respective fair values and recognize an impairment loss. Generally, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions.
The Company continually monitors certain properties for which it has identified impairment indicators. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had seven properties (the “Identified Properties”) with an aggregate book value of $46.4 million for which it had assessed the recoverability of the carrying amounts. For each of the Identified Properties, the undiscounted future cash flows expected as a result of the use of the real estate and related assets and the eventual disposition of the assets continued to exceed their carrying amount as of March 31, 2013. Should the conditions related to any of these, or any of the Company’s other properties change, the underlying assumptions used to determine the expected undiscounted future cash flows may change and adversely affect the recoverability of the respective real estate and related assets’ carrying amounts. No impairment losses were recorded related to the Identified Properties during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
When developing estimates of expected future cash flows, the Company makes certain assumptions regarding future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, terminal capitalization and discount rates, the expected number of months it takes to re-lease the property, required tenant improvements and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of alternative assumptions in estimating expected future cash flows could result in a different determination of the property’s expected future cash flows and a different conclusion regarding the existence of an impairment, the extent of such loss, if any, as well as the fair value of the real estate and related assets.
When a real estate asset is identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciation and amortization of the assets related to the property and estimates the fair value, net of selling costs. If, in management’s opinion, the fair value of the asset, net of selling costs, is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to the carrying amount would be recorded to reflect the estimated fair value of the property, net of selling costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company identified four properties as held for sale, and determined that the estimated fair value of two of these properties, net of selling costs, was less than their carrying amount. As a result, the Company recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $1.2 million, which is included in impairment of real estate assets on the condensed consolidated unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Two of the held for sale properties were sold prior to March 31, 2013 as further described in Note 5 to these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and the two remaining properties were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2013. These properties have not been separately presented on the Company’s condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 and their results have not been disclosed as discontinued operations on the Company’s condensed consolidated unaudited statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 because they were not considered to be material components of the Company’s operations. The Company did not identify any additional assets as held for sale as of March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
Concentration of Credit Risk
As of March 31, 2013, the Company had cash on deposit, including restricted cash, in four financial institutions, all of which had deposits in excess of federally insured levels totaling $20.1 million; however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company limits significant cash deposits to accounts held by financial institutions with high credit standing; therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash deposits.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update, 2013-02 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”), which amends the reporting requirements for comprehensive income pertaining to the reclassification of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2013, and the Company has presented the required information within the condensed consolidated unaudited statements of comprehensive income and notes to the financial statements.
NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement.
Fair value is defined 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, which are only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect the Company’s assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, real estate assets with a carrying amount of $6.4 million related to two properties were deemed to be impaired and their carrying amounts were reduced to their estimated fair values, resulting in an impairment charge of $1.2 million, which is included in impairment of real estate assets on the condensed consolidated unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company’s estimated fair values of its real estate assets were primarily based upon indicative sales offers by third parties, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs.
A summary of real estate and other assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2013 is as follows (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there were no real estate assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash – The Company considers the carrying amounts of these financial assets to approximate fair value because of the short period of time between their origination 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, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The estimated fair value of these notes was $85.8 million and $86.1 million as March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, compared to the carrying amount of $72.5 million and $73.4 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes receivable is estimated using Level 2 inputs.
Notes payable and line of credit – The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Company as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The estimated fair value of the notes payable and line of credit was $1.9 billion as of both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, compared to the carrying amount of $1.8 billion as of both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable and line of credit is estimated using Level 2 inputs.
Derivative instruments – The Company’s 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 assets and liabilities. 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 assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2013, there have been no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between levels.
In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of the Company’s financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

NOTE 5 — REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS
The Company did not complete any property acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2013 or 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company sold two properties for an aggregate gross sales price of $6.9 million (the “2013 Dispositions”), resulting in net cash proceeds of $6.6 million. In connection with the sale of one of the properties, the Company recorded a gain of $237,000 which is included in gain on sale of real estate assets, equity in income of unconsolidated joint venture and other income on the condensed consolidated unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company has no continuing involvement with the 2013 Dispositions. The Company recorded revenue of $131,000 and $223,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the 2013 Dispositions.

The results of operations for the 2013 Dispositions have not been presented as discontinued operations on the Company’s condensed consolidated unaudited statements of operations because the 2013 Dispositions are not considered to be a material component of the Company’s operations.
NOTE 6 — INVESTMENT IN MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE
As of March 31, 2013, 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, 2013, the Mortgage Notes balance of $72.5 million consisted of the face amount of the Mortgage Notes of $67.3 million, a $6.9 million premium, $2.0 million of acquisition costs, and was net of accumulated amortization of premium and acquisition costs of $3.7 million. As of December 31, 2012, the Mortgage Notes balance of $73.4 million consisted of the face amount of the Mortgage Notes of $68.0 million, a $6.9 million premium, $2.0 million of acquisition costs, and was net of accumulated amortization of premium and acquisition costs of $3.5 million. The premium and acquisition costs are amortized into interest income over the term of each Mortgage Note 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 with a weighted average interest rate of 9.89%. There were no amounts past due as of March 31, 2013.
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 were recorded related to the Mortgage Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2013 or 2012. In addition, no allowances for uncollectability were recorded related to the Mortgage Notes as of March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

Additional disclosures related to the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are included in Note 3 to these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements. The notional amount under the interest rate swap agreements is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in each instrument, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.
Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. 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 change in fair value of the effective portion of the derivative instruments that are designated as hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instruments is recorded in interest expense.
The following table summarizes the gains on the Company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities (in thousands):

No previously effective portions of losses that were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss during the term of the hedging relationship were reclassified into earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. |
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 creditworthy counterparties. The Company records credit risk valuation adjustments on its interest rate swaps based on the respective credit quality of the Company and the counterparty. There were no events of default related to the interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2013 or 2012.
NOTE 8 — NOTES PAYABLE AND LINE OF CREDIT
As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $1.8 billion of debt outstanding, consisting of (1) $1.4 billion in fixed rate mortgage loans (the “Fixed Rate Debt”), which included $77.6 million of variable rate debt swapped to fixed rates, (2) $4.3 million in variable rate mortgage loans (the “Variable Rate Debt”) and (3) $319.1 million outstanding under a senior unsecured line of credit entered into on December 17, 2010 (the “Credit Facility”). The aggregate balance of gross real estate assets, net of gross intangible lease liabilities, securing the Fixed Rate Debt and the Variable Rate Debt was $2.5 billion as of March 31, 2013. Additionally, the aggregate balance of gross real estate assets that are part of the Credit Facility’s unencumbered borrowing base was $636.5 million. The combined weighted average interest rate was 5.39% and the weighted average years to maturity was 3.4 years as of March 31, 2013.
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 Company’s overall leverage ratios and variable rate debt. These agreements also include usual and customary events of default and remedies for facilities of this nature. Based on the Company’s analysis and review of its results of operations and financial condition, the Company believes it was in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facility and such notes payable as of March 31, 2013.
Notes Payable
The Fixed Rate Debt has annual interest rates ranging from 3.15% to 7.22%, with a weighted average annual interest rate of 5.68%, and various maturity dates ranging from September 2014 through August 2031. The Variable Rate Debt has an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 275 basis points, and matures in September 2014. 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, 2013, the Company repaid $1.2 million of fixed rate debt, consisting of monthly principal payments on amortizing loans.

Line of Credit
The Credit Facility provides for up to $350.0 million of unsecured borrowings and 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, 2013, the Company borrowed $27.0 million and repaid $27.0 million under the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $111.1 million outstanding under the Term Loan and an additional $208.0 million in Revolving Loans outstanding. 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 relating to a certain property with that property’s 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, 2013. The Revolving Loans outstanding as of March 31, 2013 bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 3.70%.

Litigation
In connection with the Company’s Merger with Spirit, a putative class action and derivative lawsuit was filed on March 5, 2013, in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland against and purportedly on behalf of Spirit captioned Kendrick, et al. v. Spirit Realty Capital, Inc., et al. The complaint was amended on April 26, 2013, and names as defendants Spirit, the members of the board of directors of Spirit, Spirit Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Spirit Partnership”), the Company and Cole OP II, and alleges that the directors of Spirit breached their fiduciary duties by engaging in an unfair process leading to the Merger Agreement, failing to disclose sufficient material information for Spirit stockholders to make an informed decision regarding whether or not to approve the Merger, agreeing to consummation of the Merger at an opportunistic and unfair price, allowing draconian and preclusive deal protection devices in the Merger Agreement, retaining a self-interested and conflicted financial advisor, and by engaging in self-interested and otherwise conflicted actions. The complaint alleges that the Company, Cole OP II and the Spirit Partnership aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaint seeks a declaration that defendants have breached their fiduciary duties or aided and abetted such breaches and that the Merger Agreement is unenforceable, an order enjoining a vote on the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, rescission of the transactions in the event they are consummated, imposition of a constructive trust, an award of fees and costs, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs, and other relief.
In the ordinary course of business the Company may become subject to additional litigation or claims. The Company is not aware of any pending legal proceedings, other than as stated above and ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, to which the outcome is reasonably possible to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

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. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the environmental matters identified at such properties will have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, nor is it aware of any environmental matters at other properties which it believes are reasonably possible to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Advisory and Property Management Matters Agreement
In connection with the Merger, on January 22, 2013, the Company and Cole OP II entered into an advisory and property management matters agreement (the “Advisory Matters Agreement”) with Cole Advisors II and Cole Realty Advisors (together with the Advisor, the “Advisor Parties”). Spirit is an express third party beneficiary to the agreement. The agreement provides, among other things, that the Advisor Parties’ current agreements with the Company and Cole OP II will terminate upon consummation of the Merger. The Advisor Parties will continue to be paid the applicable asset management, property management and other fees currently payable pursuant to their respective agreements for services rendered between the date of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger, but agree to waive any fees due upon the termination of their current agreements, including (i) any fees due upon listing of the surviving corporation’s common stock on the NYSE; (ii) any performance fees due upon the consummation of the Merger; and (iii) any other fees that would be payable under the current agreements with respect to the Merger (including any equity or debt financing transaction that occurs in connection with the consummation of the Merger) and the other transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement. Upon consummation of the Merger, Spirit and Cole Advisors II may enter into a transition services agreement whereby Cole Advisors II will provide property and asset management services to Spirit for amounts agreed upon by the parties.
Due to Affiliates
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $2.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, had been incurred, primarily for asset management fees and expenses, property management fees and expenses and general and administrative 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 balance sheets.
NOTE 12 — 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 Company’s common stock available for issuance, 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 13 — INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS’ STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company has a stock option plan, the Independent Director’s Stock Option Plan (the “IDSOP”), which authorizes the grant of non-qualified stock options to the Company’s independent directors, subject to the 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 Company’s common stock as of the date the option is granted. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had granted options to purchase 50,000 shares under the IDSOP and options to purchase 45,000 shares at a weighted average exercise price of $9.12 per share remained outstanding with a weighted average contractual remaining life of four years. No shares were granted or exercised pursuant to the IDSOP for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. A total of 1,000,000 shares have been authorized and reserved for issuance under the IDSOP.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not record any stock-based compensation charges, as all stock-based compensation charges related to unvested stock-based compensation awards granted under the IDSOP had previously been recognized. 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 Company’s calculations assume no forfeitures.

CCPTIII/Cole Holdings Merger
On April 5, 2013, Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc. (“CCPT III”) acquired Cole Holdings Corporation (“Cole Holdings”) pursuant to a transaction whereby Cole Holdings merged with and into CREInvestments, LLC (“CREI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCPT III. Prior to the merger, Cole Holdings was wholly owned by Mr. Christopher H. Cole, the Company’s chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president. Cole Holdings was also an affiliate of the Company’s sponsor, the parent company and indirect owner of the Company’s advisor, and was the indirect owner of the Company’s property manager. As a result of the merger, the Company’s advisor and property manager are wholly-owned by CREI. Despite the indirect change in control of the Company’s advisor and property manager, the Company expects that the advisory and property management services it receives will continue without any merger-related changes in personnel or service procedures.

Management’s 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 management’s 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 the 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.
21
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 92% and 91%, respectively, of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. As 96% of our rentable square feet was under lease as of March 31, 2013, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.7 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 tenant’s financial results, credit rating agency reports (if any) on the tenant or guarantor, the operating history of the property with such tenant, the tenant’s market share and track record within its industry segment, the general health and outlook of the tenant’s 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 tenant’s financial condition and, if necessary, attempt to mitigate the tenant’s 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, 2013, the debt leverage ratio of our consolidated real estate assets, which is the ratio of debt to total gross real estate and related assets, net of gross intangible lease liabilities, was 51%, with 12% of the debt, or $212.3 million, including $208.0 million in Revolving Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility, subject to variable interest rates. Should we acquire additional commercial real estate, we will be subject to changes in real estate prices and changes in interest rates on any refinancings or 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.
On January 22, 2013, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Spirit, a publicly-listed REIT. The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Spirit with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation. Upon consummation of the Merger, Spirit stockholders will receive 1.9048 shares of our common stock for each share of Spirit common stock they own (which equates to an inverse exchange ratio of 0.525 shares of Spirit common stock for each share of the Company’s common stock) and each share of our common stock will remain an issued and outstanding share of the surviving corporation. Upon the closing of the Merger, the surviving corporation will list its shares on the NYSE and trade under Spirit’s existing ticker “SRC”. Upon consummation of the Merger, the board of directors of the surviving corporation will consist of all seven of Spirit’s board members combined with two board members designated by the Company. In addition, Spirit’s management will oversee the ongoing operations of the surviving corporation. After the Merger is consummated, Cole Advisors II and Spirit may enter into a transition services agreement whereby Cole Advisors II would provide property and asset management services on Spirit’s behalf or for Spirit for amounts agreed upon by the parties. Refer to Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding the Merger.
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 global banking system. These disruptions severely impacted the availability of credit and contributed to rising costs associated with obtaining credit. Financial conditions affecting commercial real estate have improved and continue to improve, as low treasury rates and increased lending from banks, insurance companies and commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”) conduits have put downward pressure on mortgage rates. Nevertheless, the lending market remains sensitive to the macro environment, such as Federal Reserve policy, market sentiment or regulatory factors affecting the banking and CMBS industries. While we expect that financial conditions will remain favorable, if they were to deteriorate we may experience more stringent lending criteria, which may affect our ability to finance certain property acquisitions or refinance any debt at maturity. Additionally, for properties for which we are able to obtain financing, the interest rates and other terms on such loans may be unacceptable. We expect to manage the current mortgage lending environment by considering alternative lending sources, including the securitization of debt, utilizing fixed rate loans, borrowings on the Credit Facility, short-term variable rate loans, assuming existing mortgage loans in connection with property acquisitions, entering into interest rate lock or swap agreements, or completing any combination of the foregoing.
22
Commercial real estate fundamentals continue to strengthen, as a moderate pace of job creation has supported gains in office absorption, retail sales and warehouse distribution. Although construction activity has increased, it remains near historic lows; as a result, incremental demand growth has helped to reduce vacancy rates and support modest rental growth. Improving fundamentals have resulted in gains in property values; however, in many markets property values, occupancy and rental rates continue to be below those previously experienced before the economic downturn. As of March 31, 2013, 96% of our rentable square feet was under lease, and we expect that occupancy will remain high as the real estate recovery continues. However, if recent improvements in the economy reverse course, we may experience additional vacancies or be required to reduce rental rates on occupied space. Cole Advisors II is actively seeking to lease our vacant space; nevertheless, such space may be leased at lower rental rates and for shorter lease terms than our current leases provide.
Results of Operations
Our results of operations are influenced by the timing of acquisitions and the operating performance of our real estate investments. The following table shows the property statistics of our consolidated real estate assets as of March 31, 2013 and 2012:
March 31, | ||||||
2013 | 2012 | |||||
Number of commercial properties | 750 | 753 | ||||
Approximate rentable square feet (1) | 21.2 million | 21.2 million | ||||
Percentage of rentable square feet leased | 96 | % | 96 | % | ||

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012
Revenue. Revenue remained relatively constant, increasing $1.0 million, or 1%, to $72.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $71.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Our revenue consisted primarily of rental and other property income from net leased commercial properties, which accounted for 92% and 91% of total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Rental and other property income remained relatively constant, increasing $1.4 million, or 2%, to $66.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $65.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. We also pay certain operating expenses subject to reimbursement by the tenant. Tenant reimbursement income decreased $363,000, or 8%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to a change in our expected reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Earned income from direct financing leases remained relatively constant, increasing $17,000, or 4%, to $489,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $472,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. We owned 13 properties accounted for as direct financing leases for each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Interest income on mortgage notes receivable decreased $76,000, or 5%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as we recorded interest income on mortgages receivable on 69 amortizing mortgage notes receivable during each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. We expect interest income to decrease in future periods as the proportion of principal payments received increases.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses remained constant at $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The primary general and administrative expense items are professional fees, board of directors costs, insurance, state franchise and income taxes, escrow and trustee fees, unused fees on our line of credit, operating expenses reimbursable to our advisor, and other licenses and fees.
Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses remained relatively constant, decreasing $199,000, or 3%, to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The primary property operating expense items are property taxes, repairs and maintenance, property insurance and bad debt expense.
23
Property and Asset Management Expenses. Pursuant to the advisory agreement with our advisor, as amended, and subject to the Advisory Matters Agreement, 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 certain costs incurred by our advisor in providing asset management services. Pursuant to the property management agreement with our property manager, which is an affiliate of our advisor, and subject to the Advisory Matters Agreement, 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 also reimburse Cole Realty Advisors’ costs of managing and leasing the properties.
Property and asset management expenses remained relatively constant, decreasing $62,000, or 1%, to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Of this amount, property management expenses decreased to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and asset management expenses remained constant at $2.3 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Merger Related Expenses. We incurred $11.4 million in merger related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as discussed in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. No merger related expenses were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses remained relatively constant, decreasing $189,000, or 1%, to $22.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $22.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily related to the disposition of four properties, offset by the acquisition of one property, subsequent to March 31, 2012.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets. An impairment loss of $1.2 million was recorded relating to two properties during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as discussed in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There were no real estate impairment losses recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Gain on sale of real estate assets, equity in income of unconsolidated joint venture and other income. Gain on sale of real estate assets, equity in income of unconsolidated joint venture and other income increased $122,000, or 95%, to $250,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $128,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the sale of two properties during the three months ended March 31, 2013, offset by a decrease in income from our unconsolidated joint venture due to the sale of our remaining interest in our unconsolidated joint venture subsequent to March 31, 2012.
Interest Expense. Interest expense remained relatively constant, decreasing $1.1 million, or 4%, to $26.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $27.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate and the full payment of 16 loans subsequent to March 31, 2012.
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, gains and losses on the sale of depreciable real estate, impairments of depreciable real estate and impairments of joint ventures. 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 management’s 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 historical cost method alone is insufficient. In addition, FFO also excludes gains and losses from the sale of depreciable 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. FFO also excludes real estate impairments of depreciable real estate and impairments of joint ventures that are attributable to measurable decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the venture. Impairment write-downs are items that management does not include in its evaluation of the historical 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. We compute FFO in accordance with NAREIT’s definition.
24
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 merger and acquisition related costs, 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 merge or acquire investments from the investments’ revenues and expenses. Management believes that excluding merger and 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 mergers or 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.
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.
FFO and MFFO are influenced by the timing of acquisitions and the operating performance of our real estate investments. Our calculations of FFO and MFFO, and reconciliation to net (loss) income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, are presented in the table below for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
NET (LOSS) INCOME | $ | (147 | ) | $ | 9,803 | |||
Depreciation of real estate assets | 15,235 | 15,212 | ||||||
Amortization of lease related costs | 6,770 | 6,982 | ||||||
Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets in unconsolidated joint venture | — | 303 | ||||||
Impairment of real estate assets | 1,152 | — | ||||||

Merger and acquisition related expenses | 11,434 | 17 | ||||||
Modified funds from operations (MFFO) | $ | 34,207 | $ | 32,317 |
Set forth below is additional information that may be helpful in assessing our operating results:
• | In order to recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, we recognized additional rental income by straight-lining rental income of $1.7 million and $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively. In addition, related to our unconsolidated joint venture, straight-line revenue of $7,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is included in gain on sale of real estate assets, equity in income of unconsolidated joint venture and other income on the condensed consolidated unaudited statements of operations. We sold 100% of our remaining interest in our unconsolidated joint venture in 2012; therefore, there was no such revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013. |
• | Amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of fair value adjustments of mortgage notes assumed totaled $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. In addition, related to our unconsolidated joint venture, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of fair value adjustments of mortgage notes assumed totaled $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which is included in gain on sale of real estate assets, equity in income of unconsolidated joint venture and other income on the condensed consolidated unaudited statements of operations. There was no such amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2013. |
25
Distributions
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 6.61%, based on the most recent estimate of the value of our shares of $9.45 per share) for stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period, commencing on January 1, 2013 and ending on the earlier of (i) June 30, 2013 or (ii) the date immediately preceding the effective date of the Merger.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we paid distributions of $32.2 million and $32.7 million, respectively, including $14.6 million through the issuance of shares pursuant to the DRIP Offering for the three months ended March 31, 2012. We did not issue any shares pursuant to the DRIP Offering for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were funded by net cash provided by operating activities of $19.3 million, or 60%, principal repayments from mortgage notes receivable and real estate assets under direct financing leases, including excess amounts from prior years, of $10.7 million, or 33%, a portion of the net proceeds in excess of our investment from our 2011 sale of marketable securities of $1.2 million, or 4%, and a portion of the net proceeds in excess of our investment in an unconsolidated joint venture sold in the prior year of $1.0 million, or 3%. Our distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were funded by net cash provided by operating activities of $28.6 million, or 88%, a portion of the net proceeds in excess of our investment from our 2011 sale of marketable securities of $2.5 million, or 7%, and return of capital from our unconsolidated joint venture and principal repayments from mortgage notes receivable and real estate assets under direct financing leases of $1.6 million, or 5%.
On December 6, 2012, our board of directors, including all of its independent directors, voted to suspend the DRIP Offering and the share redemption program. Beginning with the distributions previously authorized by our board of directors for the month of December 2012, which were paid in January 2013, and continuing until such time as our board of directors may approve the resumption of the DRIP Offering, all distributions authorized by our board of directors are to be paid to our stockholders in cash.
Share Redemptions
On December 6, 2012, our board of directors voted to suspend our share redemption program. As a result of the suspension of the share redemption program, all redemption requests received from stockholders during the fourth quarter of 2012 on or before December 6, 2012 and that were determined to be in good order on or before December 12, 2012 were honored in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations of the share redemption program. We did not process or accept any requests for redemption received after December 6, 2012 and will not process or accept any future requests until such time as our board of directors may approve resumption of the share redemption program.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we redeemed 12,964 shares for $121,000, pursuant to redemption requests received on or before December 6, 2012.
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 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 and interest income on our cash balances. We expect to utilize available borrowings on the Credit Facility and potential additional financings and refinancings to repay our outstanding indebtedness and complete possible future property acquisitions.
As of March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $14.4 million and available borrowings of $30.4 million under the Credit Facility. Additionally, as of March 31, 2013, we had unencumbered properties with a gross book value of $1.0 billion, including $636.5 million of assets that are part of the Credit Facility’s unencumbered borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base Assets”), which 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 the Credit Facility; however, the use of any Borrowing Base Assets as collateral would reduce the available borrowings under the Credit Facility.
26
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a short-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for operating expenses, distributions to stockholders and interest and principal on current and any future debt financings. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through available cash, cash provided by property operations, the issuance of new mortgage notes on unencumbered assets and borrowings from the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2013, we had $319.1 million under the Credit Facility maturing within the next 12 months, which we expect to be repaid or refinanced in connection with or subsequent to the Merger. If the Merger is not completed, we will seek to refinance amounts outstanding under the 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, 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 to our stockholders.
We expect that substantially all cash flows from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, are paid; however, we may use other sources to fund distributions as necessary, including borrowing on the 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 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.
As of March 31, 2013, we had issued approximately 231.2 million shares of our common stock in the Offerings resulting in gross proceeds of $2.3 billion. As of March 31, 2013, we had redeemed a total of approximately 22.6 million shares of our common stock for a cost of $206.2 million.
As of March 31, 2013, we had $1.8 billion of debt outstanding, consisting of (1) $1.4 billion of Fixed Rate Debt, which included $77.6 million of variable rate debt swapped to fixed rates, (2) $4.3 million of Variable Rate Debt and (3) $319.1 million outstanding under the Credit Facility, which included $111.1 million swapped to a fixed rate. The Fixed Rate Debt has annual interest rates ranging from 3.15% to 7.22%, with a weighted average annual interest rate of 5.68%, and various maturity dates ranging from September 2014 through August 2031. The Variable Rate Debt has an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 275 basis points, and matures in September 2014. As of March 31, 2013, the weighted average interest rate in effect for the Revolving Loans under the Credit Facility was 3.70% and the Term Loan was fixed at a rate of 4.94% per annum based on our overall leverage levels. Additionally, the ratio of debt to gross real estate and related assets net of gross intangible lease liabilities as of March 31, 2013 was 51% and the weighted average years to maturity was 3.4 years. Our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):

(2) | Principal paydown amounts are included in payments due by period. |

(4) | As of March 31, 2013, we had $188.7 million of Variable Rate Debt and Credit Facility borrowings fixed through the use of interest rate swaps. We used the fixed rates under the swap agreements to calculate the debt payment obligations in future periods. |
(5) | A rate of 2.95% was used to calculate the variable debt payment obligations in future periods. This was the rate effective as of March 31, 2013. |
(6) | Payment obligations for the Term Loan and the Revolving Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility calculated based on interest rates of 4.94% and 3.70%, respectively, in effect as of March 31, 2013. |
Our charter prohibits us from incurring debt that would cause our borrowings to exceed the greater of 60% of our gross assets, valued at the greater of the aggregate cost (before 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.
Cash Flow Analysis
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $9.3 million, or 33%, to $19.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $28.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net income of $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to March 31, 2012. See “— Results of Operations” for a more complete discussion of the factors impacting our operating performance.
Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities increased $5.0 million to $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily a result of cash proceeds received from the sale of real estate assets of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. There were no cash proceeds received from the sale of real estate assets for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the return of investment from unconsolidated joint venture of $717,000 and an increase in the use of cash for capital expenditures of $860,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities decreased $21.2 million, or 39%, to $33.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $54.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, our loan activity resulted in net repayments of $1.2 million and during the three months ended March 31, 2012 our loan activity resulted in net borrowings of $22.3 million, combining for an increase in cash used for mortgage notes payable and the Credit Facility of $21.1 million. Additionally, the decrease in net cash used in financing activities was due to a decrease in cash used for the redemptions of common stock of $14.2 million, which was partially offset by an increase in distributions to investors of $14.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, which were due to the suspension of our share redemption program and the DRIP Offering by our board of directors on December 6, 2012.
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 without regard to the dividends paid deduction and 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 maintain our qualification 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management 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 management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to 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 policies to be the following:
• | Investment in and Valuation of Real Estate and Related Assets; |
• | Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate and Related Assets; |
• | Investment in Direct Financing Leases; |
• | Investment in Mortgage Notes Receivable; |
• | Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture; |
• | Revenue Recognition; |
• | Income Taxes; and |
• | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. |
A complete description of such policies and our considerations is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and our critical accounting policies have not changed during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, and related notes thereto.
Commitments and Contingencies
We may be subject to certain commitments and contingencies with regard to certain transactions. Refer to Note 10 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further explanations.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with Cole Advisors II and its affiliates, whereby we have paid, and may continue to pay, certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, Cole Advisors II or its affiliates such as acquisition and advisory fees and expenses, financing coordination fees, organization and offering costs, sales commissions, dealer manager fees, asset and property management fees and expenses, leasing fees, real estate commissions and reimbursement of certain operating costs. See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further explanation of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.
Subsequent Events
Certain events occurred subsequent to March 31, 2013 through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to Note 14 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further explanation.
Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further explanation. There have been no accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet applied by us, that will significantly impact our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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.
29
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
We have obtained variable rate debt financing to fund certain property acquisitions, and therefore we are exposed to changes in LIBOR and a bank’s prime rate. Our objectives in managing interest rate risks 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 may 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 variable rate financial instrument. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. We may also enter into rate lock arrangements to lock interest rates on future borrowings. We may be exposed to credit and market risks including, but not limited to, the failure of any counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract or the adverse effect on the value of the financial instrument resulting from a change in interest rates.
As of March 31, 2013, $212.3 million of the $1.8 billion outstanding on notes payable and the Credit Facility was subject to variable interest rates. The Revolving Loans under the Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average rate of 3.70%. The remaining variable rate debt bore interest at the one-month LIBOR plus 275 basis points. As of March 31, 2013, an increase of 50 basis points in interest rates would result in a change in interest expense of $1.1 million per year, assuming all of our derivatives remain effective hedges.
As of March 31, 2013, we had four interest rate swap agreements outstanding, which mature on various dates from November 2013 through March 2016, with an aggregate notional amount under the swap agreements of $188.7 million and an aggregate net fair value of $(1.8) million. The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads. As of March 31, 2013, an increase of 50 basis points in interest rates would result in an increase to the fair value of these interest rate swaps of $1.1 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, 2013, were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act 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) during the three months ended March 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
In connection with the Company’s Merger with Spirit a putative class action and derivative lawsuit was filed on March 5, 2013, in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland against and purportedly on behalf of Spirit captioned Kendrick, et al. v. Spirit Realty Capital, Inc., et al. The complaint was amended on April 26, 2013, and names as defendants Spirit, the members of the board of directors of Spirit, Spirit Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Spirit Partnership”), the Company and Cole OP II, and alleges that the directors of Spirit breached their fiduciary duties by engaging in an unfair process leading to the Merger Agreement, failing to disclose sufficient material information for Spirit stockholders to make an informed decision regarding whether or not to approve the Merger, agreeing to consummation of the Merger at an opportunistic and unfair price, allowing draconian and preclusive deal protection devices in the Merger Agreement, retaining a self-interested and conflicted financial advisor, and by engaging in self-interested and otherwise conflicted actions. The complaint alleges that the Company, Cole OP II and the Spirit Partnership aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaint seeks a declaration that defendants have breached their fiduciary duties or aided and abetted such breaches and that the Merger Agreement is unenforceable, an order enjoining a vote on the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, rescission of the transactions in the event they are consummated, imposition of a constructive trust, an award of fees and costs, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs, and other relief.
In the ordinary course of business we may become subject to additional litigation or claims. We are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings, other than as stated above and ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, to which we are a party or to which our properties are the subject.
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, 2012.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
As of March 31, 2013, we had accepted subscriptions for 231.2 million shares (including shares sold pursuant to the DRIP Offering and net of redemptions) of common stock in the Offerings, resulting in gross proceeds of $2.3 billion, out of which we paid $171.8 million in selling commissions and dealer manager fees, $70.5 million in acquisition fees, $24.5 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, acquisition fees or organization and offering costs to Cole Capital during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Total net offering proceeds from the Offerings are $2.0 billion as of March 31, 2013. With the net offering proceeds and indebtedness, we acquired $3.5 billion in real estate and related assets, net of gross intangible lease liabilities. As of May 10, 2013, we had sold an aggregate of approximately 231.2 million shares in the Offerings for gross offering proceeds of $2.3 billion (including shares sold pursuant to the DRIP Offering). We did not sell any unregistered equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
As a result of the suspension of the share redemption program in December 2012, all redemption requests received from stockholders during the fourth quarter of 2012 on or before December 6, 2012 and that were determined to be in good order on or before December 12, 2012 were honored in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations of the share redemption program. We did not process or accept any requests for redemption received after December 6, 2012 and will not process or accept any future requests until such time as our board of directors may approve resumption of the share redemption program.
31
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we redeemed the following shares pursuant to redemption requests received on or before December 6, 2012:
