TNP STRATEGIC RETAIL TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2011

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on September 18, 2008 as a Maryland corporation. The Company believes it qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and has elected REIT status beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2009, the year in which the Company began material operations. The Company was initially capitalized by the sale of shares of common stock to Thompson National Properties, LLC (the “Sponsor”) on October 16, 2008. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

On November 4, 2008, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to offer a maximum of 100,000,000 shares of its common stock to the public in its primary offering and 10,526,316 shares of its common stock pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) (collectively, the “Offering”). On August 7, 2009, the SEC declared the registration statement effective and the Company commenced the Offering. The Company is offering shares to the public in its primary offering at a price of $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain purchasers, and to its stockholders pursuant to the DRIP at a price of $9.50 per share.

On November 12, 2009, the Company raised the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000 and pursuant to the terms of the Offering, proceeds were released to the Company from an escrow account. From commencement of the Offering through September 30, 2011, the Company had accepted investors’ subscriptions for, and issued, 4,591,090 shares of the Company’s common stock, including 82,830 shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, resulting in gross offering proceeds of approximately $45,142,485.

On May 26, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Pinehurst Square East, a retail property located in Bismarck, North Dakota, TNP Strategic Retail Operating Partnership, LP, the Company’s operating partnership (the “OP”), issued 287,472 units of common limited partnership interests (the “Common Units”) to certain of the sellers of the Pinehurst Square property who elected to receive Common Units for an aggregate value of approximately $2,587,249, or $9.00 per Common Unit.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to invest in a portfolio of income-producing retail properties, primarily located in the Western United States, including neighborhood, community and lifestyle shopping centers, multi-tenant shopping centers and free standing single-tenant retail properties. In addition to investments in real estate directly or through joint ventures, the Company may also acquire or originate first mortgages or second mortgages, mezzanine loans or other real estate-related loans, in each case provided that the underlying real estate meets the Company’s criteria for direct investment. The Company may also invest in any other real property or other real estate-related assets that, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, meets the Company’s investment objectives.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company’s portfolio included (1) eight properties comprising 709,044 rentable square feet of multi-tenant retail and commercial space located in six states and (2) three distressed mortgage loans secured by a multi-tenant retail center and approximately 28 acres of developable land. As of September 30, 2011, the rentable space at the Company’s retail properties was 84.0% leased.

The Company’s advisor is TNP Strategic Retail Advisor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Advisor”). Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, Advisor is responsible for managing the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on behalf of the Company.

Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through the OP. The initial limited partners of the OP were Advisor and TNP Strategic Retail OP Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TNP OP”). Advisor has invested $1,000 in the OP in exchange for Common Units and TNP OP has invested $1,000 in the OP and has been issued a separate class of limited partnership units (the “Special Units”). As the Company accepts subscriptions for shares of its common stock, it transfers substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering to the OP as a capital contribution. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company owned 94.09% and 99.96%, respectively, of the limited partnership interest in the OP. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Advisor owned 0.02% and 0.04%, respectively, of the limited partnership interest in the OP. TNP OP owned 100% of the outstanding Special Units as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The OP limited partnership agreement provides that the OP will be operated in a manner that will enable the Company to (1) satisfy the requirements for being classified as a REIT for tax purposes, (2) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability and (3) ensure that the OP will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code, which classification could result in the OP being taxed as a corporation, rather than as a partnership. In addition to the administrative and operating costs and expenses incurred by the OP in acquiring and operating real properties, the OP will pay all of the Company’s administrative costs and expenses, and such expenses will be treated as expenses of the OP.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the OP, and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company evaluates the need to consolidate joint ventures and consolidates joint ventures that it determines to be variable interest entities for which it is the primary beneficiary. The Company also consolidates joint ventures that are not determined to be variable interest entities, but for which it exercises control over major operating decisions through substantive participation rights, such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset management, investment activity and changes in financing.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Non-Controlling Interests

The Company accounts for non-controlling interests in accordance with FASB ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). In accordance with ASC 810, the Company reports non-controlling interests in subsidiaries within equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the parents stockholders’ equity. Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests is presented as a reduction from net income in calculating net loss available to common stockholders on the statement of operations. Acquisitions or dispositions of non-controlling interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, ASC 810 requires that a parent company recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated upon a change in control. In accordance with FASB ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, non-controlling interests that are determined to be redeemable are carried at their redemption value as of the balance sheet date and reported as temporary equity. The Company periodically evaluates individual non-controlling interests for the ability to continue to recognize the non-controlling interest as permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Any non-controlling interest that fails to qualify as permanent equity will be reclassified as temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (1) the carrying amount, or (2) its redemption value as of the end of the period in which the determination is made, the resulting adjustment is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company evaluates the need to consolidate joint ventures based on standards set forth in 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. As of September 30, 2011, the Company did not have any joint ventures.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the Company’s 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. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in the Company’s financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of the Company’s results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. The Company considers significant estimates to include impairments, purchase price allocations, allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation, amortization, and fair market valuations, among others.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        Cash and cash equivalents represents current bank accounts and other bank deposits free of encumbrances and having maturity dates of three months or less from the respective dates of deposit. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $1,029,000 of cash balances in excess of federally insured limits. The Company limits cash investments to financial institutions with high credit standing; therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes escrow accounts for real property taxes, insurance, capital expenditures and tenant improvements, debt service and leasing costs held by lenders.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets. The Company anticipates collecting these amounts over the terms of the leases as scheduled rent payments are made. Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. Lease payments that depend on a factor that does not exist or is not measurable at the inception of the lease, such as future sales volume, would be contingent rentals in their entirety and, accordingly, would be excluded from minimum lease payments and included in the determination of income as they are earned.

If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:

 

   

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

 

   

whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;

 

   

whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;

 

   

whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general-purpose in nature; and

 

   

whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.

The Company records property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs as revenue in the period the related expenses are incurred.

Valuation of Accounts Receivable

The Company makes estimates of the collectability of its tenant receivables related to base rents, including deferred rents receivable, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income.

The Company analyzes accounts receivable, deferred rent receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, the Company will make estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectability of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. When a tenant is in bankruptcy, the Company will record a bad debt reserve for the tenant’s receivable balance and generally will not recognize subsequent rental revenue until cash is received or until the tenant is no longer in bankruptcy and has the ability to make rental payments.

Investments in Real Estate

Real Estate Acquisition Valuation

The Company records the acquisition of income-producing real estate or real estate that will be used for the production of income as a business combination. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their acquisition-date fair values. The balance of the purchase price is allocated to tenant improvements and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities. Tenant improvements represent the tangible assets associated with the existing leases valued on a fair value basis at the acquisition date amortized over the remaining lease terms. Tenant improvements are classified as an asset under investments in real estate and are depreciated over the remaining lease terms. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities relate to the value of in-place operating leases which come in three forms: (1) leasing commissions and legal costs, which represent the value associated with “cost avoidance” of acquiring in-place leases, such as lease commissions paid under terms generally experienced in markets in which the Company operates; (2) value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated loss of revenue and of costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased; and (3) above or below market value of in-place leases, which represents the difference between the contractual rents and market rents at the time of the acquisition, discounted for tenant credit risks. The value of in-place leases are recorded in acquired lease intangibles, net and amortized over the remaining lease term. Above or below market leases are classified in acquired lease intangibles, net or in other liabilities, depending on whether the contractual terms are above or below market. Above market leases are amortized as a decrease to rental revenue over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases and below market leases are amortized as an increase to rental revenue over the remaining initial lease term and any fixed rate renewal periods, if applicable.

Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and costs that do not meet the definition of a liability at the acquisition date are expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company acquired (1) four properties and recorded the acquisitions as business combinations and (2) three distressed mortgage loans and recorded the acquisitions as business combinations and expensed $2,260,000 of acquisition costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company acquired three properties, the Waianae Mall, the Northgate Plaza, and the San Jacinto Esplanade, and expensed $1,326,000 of acquisition costs.

Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require the Company to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of the Company’s acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of the Company’s net income. These allocations also impact depreciation expense and gains or losses recorded on future sales of properties.

Real Estate Loans Receivable

The Company’s real estate loans receivable are recorded at amortized cost, net of loan loss reserves (if any), and evaluated for impairment at each balance sheet date. The amortized cost of a real estate loan receivable is the outstanding unpaid principal balance.

As of September 30, 2011, there was no loan loss reserve and the Company did not record any impairment losses related to the real estate loans receivable during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. However, in the future, the Company may experience losses from its investments in loans receivable requiring the Company to record loan loss reserves. Realized losses on individual loans could be material and significantly exceed any recorded reserves.

Interest income on the Company’s real estate loans receivable is recognized on an accrual basis over the life of the investment using the interest method. Direct loan origination fees and origination or acquisition costs, as well as acquisition premiums or discounts, are amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income. The Company places loans on nonaccrual status when any portion of principal or interest is 90 days past due, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the Company reverses the accrual for unpaid interest and generally does not recognize subsequent interest income until cash is received, or the loan returns to accrual status. The Company will resume the accrual of interest if it determines the collection of interest according to the contractual terms of the loan is probable.

The Company generally recognizes income on impaired loans on either a cash basis, where interest income is only recorded when received in cash, or on a cost-recovery basis, where all cash receipts are applied against the carrying value of the loan. The Company considers the collectability of the loan’s principal balance in determining whether to recognize income on impaired loans on a cash basis or a cost-recovery basis.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company’s investment in three distressed mortgage loans was not deemed to be impaired. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized $540,000 of interest income related to these loans. Additionally, as of September 30, 2011, the Company had recorded interest income receivable of $135,000, all of which was received in October 2011, related to the three distressed mortgage loans. As of September 30, 2011, the Company determined that the carrying value of the mortgage loans were fully secured by the collateral, and as a result, the Company had not recorded an impairment charge related to its investment in the mortgage loans as of September 30, 2011.

The reserve for loan losses is a valuation allowance that reflects management’s estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The reserve is adjusted through “provision for loan losses” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and is decreased by charge-offs to specific loans when losses are confirmed. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company did not record any reserves for loan losses.

The asset-specific reserve component relates to reserves for losses on loans considered impaired. The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it believes that it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company also considers a loan to be impaired if it grants the borrower a concession through a modification of the loan terms or if it expects to receive assets (including equity interests in the borrower) with fair values that are less than the carrying value of the loan in satisfaction of the loan. A reserve is established when the present value of payments expected to be received, observable market prices, the estimated fair value of the collateral (for loans that are dependent on the collateral for repayment) or amounts expected to be received in satisfaction of a loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan.

Failure to recognize impairments would result in the overstatement of earnings and the carrying value of the Company’s real estate loans held for investment. Actual losses, if any, could differ significantly from estimated amounts.

Real Property

Costs related to the development, redevelopment, construction and improvement of properties are capitalized. Interest incurred on development, redevelopment and construction projects is capitalized until construction is substantially complete.

Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Costs for major replacements and betterments, which include heating, ventilating, and air conditioning equipment, roofs, and parking lots, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Gains and losses are recognized upon disposal or retirement of the related assets and are reflected in earnings.

Property is recorded at cost and is depreciated using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

     Years  

Buildings and improvements

     5-48 years   

Exterior improvements

     10-20 years   

Equipment and fixtures

     5-10 years   

Impairment of Investments in Real Estate and Related Intangible Assets and Liabilities

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its investments in real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying value of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, the Company assesses the recoverability by estimating whether the Company will recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets through its undiscounted future cash flows and its eventual disposition. If, based on this analysis, the Company does not believe that it will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, the Company would record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the investments in real estate and related intangible assets. Key inputs that the Company estimates in this analysis include projected rental rates, capital expenditures and property sales capitalization rates. Additionally, a property classified as held for sale is carried at the lower of carrying cost or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell. The Company did not record any impairment loss on its investments in real estate and related intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Fair Value Measurements

Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

   

Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

 

   

Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from independent third-party sources to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require the Company to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When the Company determines the market for a financial instrument owned by the Company to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, the Company uses several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establishes a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (1) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (2) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach.

Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of an inactive market: (1) there are few recent transactions, (2) price quotations are not based on current information, (3) price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets), (4) indexes that previously were highly correlated with the fair values of the asset or liability are demonstrably uncorrelated with recent indications of fair value for that asset or liability, (5) there is a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indicators (such as delinquency rates or loss severities) for observed transactions or quoted prices when compared with the Company’s estimate of expected cash flows, considering all available market data about credit and other nonperformance risk for the asset or liability, (6) there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread, (7) there is a significant decline or absence of a market for new issuances (that is, a primary market) for the asset or liability or similar assets or liabilities, and (8) little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to-principal market).

The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of non-orderly transactions: (1) there was not adequate exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities under current market conditions, (2) there was a usual and customary marketing period, but the seller marketed the asset or liability to a single market participant, (3) the seller is in or near bankruptcy or receivership (that is, distressed), or the seller was required to sell to meet regulatory or legal requirements (that is, forced), and (4) the transaction price is an outlier when compared with other recent transactions for the same or similar assets or liabilities.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, loan fees, legal fees and other third-party costs associated with obtaining financing. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financings that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s deferred financing costs were $1,272,000 and $673,000 respectively, net of amortization.

Notes Payable

Mortgage and other loans assumed upon acquisition of real estate properties are stated at estimated fair value upon their respective dates of assumption, net of unamortized discounts or premiums to their outstanding contractual balances.

Amortization of discount and the accretion of premiums on mortgage and other loans assumed upon acquisition of related real estate properties are recognized from the date of assumption through their contractual maturity date using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 48 years. Tenant improvement costs recorded as capital assets are depreciated over the shorter of (1) the tenant’s remaining lease term or (2) the life of the improvement. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over five to ten years.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income to stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that it distributes as dividends to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, the Company believes that it is organized and operates in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT. The Company may also be subject to certain state or local income taxes, or franchise taxes.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken in the financial statements under the interpretation for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As a result of this evaluation, the Company may recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities.

When necessary, deferred income taxes are recognized in certain taxable entities. Deferred income tax is generally a function of the period’s temporary differences (items that are treated differently for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes). A valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets is provided if all or some portion of the deferred income tax asset may not be realized. Any increase or decrease in the valuation allowance is generally included in deferred income tax expense.

The federal and state statute of limitations for the Company’s tax returns are generally three and four years, respectively. As such, tax returns that remain subject to examination would be from 2008 and thereafter for federal purposes and 2007 and thereafter for state purposes. Consequently, the taxability of the distributions is subject to change.

Per Share Data

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the basic EPS computation for the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The effect of non-vested shares, if dilutive, is computed using the treasury stock method. The Company applies the two-class method for determining EPS as its outstanding unvested shares with non-forfeitable dividend rights are considered participating securities. The Company’s excess of distributions over earnings related to participating securities are shown as a reduction in income (loss) attributable to stockholders in the Company’s computation of EPS.

Reclassification

Certain amounts from the prior year have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ASU No. 2010-20”). ASU No. 2010-20 requires the Company to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about the credit quality of its financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses. This ASU also requires the Company to disclose additional information related to credit quality indicators, past due information, information related to loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring and significant purchases and sales of financing receivables disaggregated by portfolio segment. ASU No. 2010-20 was initially effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. As this ASU amends only the disclosure requirements for loans and the allowance for credit losses, the adoption of ASU No. 2010-20 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-01, Receivables (Topic 310): Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20 (“ASU No. 2011-01”). ASU No. 2011-01 announced that it was deferring the effective date of new disclosure requirements for troubled debt restructurings prescribed by ASU No. 2010-20. The effective date for those disclosures will be concurrent with the effective date for proposed ASU No. 2010-20. The proposed guidance in ASU No. 2010-20 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2011, in conjunction with the effective date of ASU No. 2011-02. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-20 may require additional disclosures, but the Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (“ASU No. 2010-29”). Effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2010, ASU No. 2010-29 specifies that if a public entity enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis and presents comparative financial statements, the entity must present pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. ASU No. 2010-29 only applies to disclosures in Note 4 below related to acquisitions and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s footnote disclosures.

Operating Leases

The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of September 30, 2011, the leases at the Company’s properties have remaining terms (excluding options to extend) of up to 20.42 years with a weighted-average remaining term (excluding options to extend) of 6.82 years. The leases may have provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires security deposits from tenants in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. Amounts required as security deposits vary depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally are not significant amounts. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets and totaled $276,000 and $166,000 as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

As of September 30, 2011, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under non-cancelable operating leases was as follows:

   $ 1,739,000

Certain of the Company’s notes payable contain financial and non-financial debt covenants.

Line of Credit

On December 17, 2010, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, TNP SRT Secured Holdings, LLC (“TNP SRT Holdings”), entered into the Credit Agreement with KeyBank to establish a secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with an initial maximum aggregate commitment of $35 million. The commitment may be increased, subject to certain conditions, in minimum increments of $5 million, by up to $115 million in the aggregate, for a maximum commitment of up to $150 million. The Company may reduce the facility amount at any time, subject to certain conditions, in minimum increments of $5 million, provided that in no event may the facility amount be less than $20 million, unless the commitments are reduced to zero and the Credit Facility is terminated. The proceeds of the Credit Facility may be used by the Company for general corporate purposes, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. Tranche B of the Credit Facility in the maximum amount of $5 million matured on September 30, 2011. Tranche A of the Credit Facility matures on December 17, 2013. The Company has the option to extend the Tranche A maturity date for one year subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

On May 26, 2011, the Company, the OP, the Sponsor, Anthony W. Thompson, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and KeyBank amended the Credit Agreement to increase the maximum aggregate commitment of KeyBank under the Credit Agreement from $35 million to $38 million (the “Temporary Increase”), effective June 30, 2011, and increased the aggregate commitment under Tranche A of the Credit Agreement to $38 million. The amendment provided that the Temporary Increase would be available until July 26, 2011, at which time any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement in excess of $35 million would become immediately due and payable in full. On August 9, 2011, the Company, the OP, the Sponsor, Anthony W. Thompson, TNP SRT Holdings, AWT Family Limited Partnership, a California limited partnership controlled by Mr. Thompson (“AWT”), certain subsidiaries of TNP SRT Holdings and KeyBank entered into an Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), effective as of June 30, 2011. The Amendment extended the maturity date of the Temporary Increase from July 26, 2011 to August 26, 2011, provided that Tranche B of the Credit Facility matured on June 30, 2011, any remaining balance of outstanding loans under Tranche B of the Credit Facility, would be deemed to be a loan under Tranche A of the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2011, and Sponsor, Mr. Thompson and AWT are released from their joint and several guaranty of the payment of all borrowings under the Tranche B of the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2011. On September 23, 2011 in connection with the acquisition of the Topaz Marketplace, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and KeyBank entered into a Fourth Omnibus Amendment and Reaffirmation of the loan documents relating to the Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Omnibus Amendment”). The Fourth Omnibus Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to increase the maximum aggregate commitment of KeyBank under the Credit Agreement from $38 million to $45 million (such increase the “Second Temporary Increase”). The Fourth Omnibus Amendment also amends the Credit Agreement to provide that the Second Temporary Increase (1) will be reduced on or prior to October 25, 2011 by an amount necessary to reduce the tranche A commitment to $43 million, at which point any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement in excess of $43 million will be due and payable in full, and (2) will otherwise remain in effect until December 22, 2011, at which time any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement in excess of $35 million will become immediately due and payable in full.

On August 23, 2011, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and KeyBank entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, effective as of June 29, 2011 (the “Amendment and Waiver”). The Amendment and Waiver provides that the value of the Constitution Trail Property which secures the three distressed Mortgage Loans acquired by the Company on June 29, 2011 will be included in the calculation of Total Asset Value (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and that the value attributed to the Constitution Trail Property for the purposes of such calculation will be the value of the Mortgage Loans determined at the lesser of cost or carrying value.

On September 23, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of the Topaz Marketplace property, TNP SRT Topaz Marketplace, LLC financed the payment of the purchase price with $8,000,000 in funds borrowed under the Company’s existing revolving credit agreement with KeyBank.

As of September 30, 2011, the outstanding balances under Tranche A and Tranche B of the Credit Facility were $44,968,000 and $0, respectively. In March 2011 and June 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate cap agreements with KeyBank in the notional amounts of $16.0 million and $10.0 million and interest rate caps of libor at 7%, effective on April 4, 2011 and June 15, 2011, respectively. Neither interest rate cap agreement is designated as a hedge.

Borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement determined by reference to the Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) bear interest at the lesser of (1) the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.50% per annum in the case of a Tranche A borrowing and 3.25% in the case of a Tranche B borrowing, or (2) the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law. Borrowings determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) bear interest at the lesser of (1) the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 3.50% per annum in the case of a Tranche A borrowing and 4.25% in the case of a Tranche B borrowing, or (2) the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by (1) pledges by the Company, the OP, TNP SRT Holdings, and certain subsidiaries of TNP SRT Holdings, of their respective direct and indirect equity ownership interests in, as applicable, any subsidiary of TNP SRT Holdings or the Company which, directly or indirectly, owns real property, subject to certain limitations and exceptions, (2) guarantees, granted by the Company and the OP on a joint and several basis, of the prompt and full payment of all of the obligations, terms and conditions to be paid, performed or observed with respect to the Credit Agreement, (3) a security interest granted in favor of KeyBank with respect to all operating, depository (including, without limitation, the deposit account used to receive subscription payments for the sale of equity interests in Offering), escrow and security deposit accounts and all cash management services of the Company, the OP, TNP SRT Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries, and, (4) a deed of trust, assignment agreement, security agreement and fixture filing in favor of KeyBank, with respect to the Moreno Marketplace, Northgate Plaza, San Jacinto Esplanade, Craig Promenade, Pinehurst Square East and Topaz Marketplace.

The Credit Agreement and certain notes payable contain customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including, but not limited to, requirements for minimum net worth, debt service coverage and leverage. The Company believes it was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility as of September 30, 2011.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company has classified as held for sale portions of three of the Company’s properties, commonly known as “pads,” with a book value of approximately $3.2 million. Future sale of the “pads” may require a pay down of the principal of the Credit Facility.

Acquisition Loan

In connection with the acquisition of the Mortgage Loans (See Note 7), on the Note Closing Date, TNP SRT Constitution borrowed $15,300,000 from the Acquisition Lender pursuant to the Credit Agreement by and among the Acquisition Lender and TNP SRT Constitution (the “Acquisition Credit Agreement”). TNP SRT Constitution paid the Acquisition Lender an origination fee of $76,500 (the “Origination Fee”) in connection with the closing of the Acquisition Loan.

The entire unpaid principal balance of the Acquisition Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be due and payable in full on October 31, 2014. The Acquisition Loan bears interest at a rate of 15.0% per annum. After the occurrence of and during the continuance of any event of default under the Acquisition Credit Agreement, the Acquisition Loan will bear interest at a rate of 20.0% per annum. TNP SRT Constitution will pay the Acquisition Lender a late fee in the amount of 5.0% of any installment of principal and interest due under the Acquisition Loan that is more than five days past due. TNP SRT Constitution may voluntarily prepay all, but not less than all, of the Acquisition Loan at any time; provided, however, that (1) TNP SRT Constitution must pay an exit fee equal to 1.0% of the amount being prepaid in connection with any such prepayment (the “Exit Fee”) and any accrued and unpaid interest, and (2) any prepayment made prior to the last month of the term of the Acquisition Loan must be accompanied by a premium in an amount equal to the amount obtained by subtracting (a) all amounts paid by TNP SRT Constitution with respect to the Acquisition Loan (excluding the Origination Fee), from (b) $22,950,000 (the “Applicable Amount”); provided, however, that the Applicable Amount will be reduced by $1.50 for every $1.00 of the principal amount of the Acquisition Loan that is prepaid on or prior to December 30, 2011, not to exceed, in respect of such prepayments, $10,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TNP SRT Constitution may prepay up to $10,000,000 of the Acquisition Loan on or before December 30, 2011, which such prepayment will not be subject to the prepayment premium, but will be subject to the Exit Fee.

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Credit Agreement, TNP SRT Constitution agreed to (1) prosecute the foreclosure proceedings initiated by the Mortgage Lender, as plaintiff, against the Borrower, the Mortgage Guarantors, and others, as defendants (the “Foreclosure Proceedings”) in accordance with the written instructions of the Acquisition Lender, and (2) not settle, compromise or discontinue the Foreclosure Proceedings without the prior consent of the Acquisition Lender. TNP SRT Constitution also agreed to otherwise enforce the terms and conditions of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Acquisition Lender’s instructions, including, if Acquisition Lender so requests, the commencement of an action to enforce the Mortgage Loan Guaranties against Mortgage Guarantors.

TNP SRT Constitution’s obligations under the Acquisition Loan are secured by a pledge by TNP SRT Constitution of all of its right, title and interest in and to, among other things, the Mortgage Loans and all rights to service the Mortgage Loans, all insurance (and the proceeds thereof) relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Constitution Trail Property and all collection and escrow accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to the Acquisition Credit Agreement, the Company and Anthony W. Thompson (the “Acquisition Guarantors”), agreed to jointly and severally guaranty (the “Acquisition Guaranty”) the full and prompt payment and performance of TNP SRT Constitution’s obligations upon, among other events (1), the commencement by TNP SRT Constitution or any Acquisition Guarantor of a voluntary bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation or similar case or proceeding, (2) TNP SRT Constitution’s failure to obtain Acquisition Lender’s prior consent to (a) release the borrower or any of the Mortgage Guarantors from liability under the Mortgage Loans, (ii) release the lien of the Mortgage Loans from all or any portion of the Constitution Trail Property, or (b) modify, or accept the surrender or waiver of, any of the material terms of the Mortgage Loans, (c) the failure by TNP SRT Constitution and/or the Acquisition Guarantors to comply with the requirements of the Acquisition Credit Agreement upon the acquisition of fee title to the Constitution Trail Property by TNP SRT Constitution or TNP SRT Constitution’s affiliate, or (4) any loss or damage suffered by the Acquisition Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) by reason of TNP SRT Constitution’s failure to prosecute the Foreclosure Proceedings, or otherwise enforce the terms of the Mortgage Loans, in accordance with the Acquisition Lender’s instructions.

The Acquisition Credit Agreement provided that if TNP SRT Constitution or its affiliate acquired fee title to the Constitution Trail Property by reason of foreclosure on the Mortgage Loans, the acceptance of a deed in lieu of the foreclosure or otherwise, TNP SRT Constitution or its affiliate, as applicable, will execute and deliver to the Acquisition Lender mortgage loan documents, in customary form, evidencing a new mortgage loan from Acquisition Lender (the “Phase II Loan”), including a mortgage or deed of trust, a promissory note, an assignment of leases and rents and an environmental indemnity, and the Acquisition Guarantors will execute and deliver to Acquisition Lender a customary guaranty of exceptions to the non-recourse nature of the Phase II Loan and an environmental indemnity relating to the Constitution Trail Property (such documents, collectively, the “Phase II Loan Documents”). The economic terms of the Phase II Loan Documents would conform to the economic terms set forth in the Acquisition Credit Agreement, such that the Acquisition Lender’s return will be the same as the return it would have received had the Acquisition Credit Agreement and the other Acquisition Loan documents remained in force and effect. On October 21, 2011, TNP SRT Constitution acquired title to the Constitution Trail Property pursuant to a consent foreclosure proceeding and TNP SRT Constitution and the Acquisition lender entered into the Phase II loan (See Note 16).

9. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant judgment by management. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and for which markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments for which markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The Company believes the total values reflected on its condensed consolidated balance sheets reasonably approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and amounts due to affiliates due to their short-term nature, except for the Company’s notes payable, which are disclosed below:

 

At September 30, 2011

   Total Value (1)      Fair Value (2)  

Notes Payable

   $ 83,177,000       $ 82,917,000   

At December 31, 2010

   Total Value (1)      Fair Value (2)  

Notes Payable

   $ 39,399,000       $ 39,164,000   

 

(1) The total value of the Company’s notes payable represents outstanding principal as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
(2) The fair value of the Company’s notes payable represents outstanding principal as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, net of unamortized discount and premium. The estimated fair value of the Company’s notes payable is based upon indicative market prices of our notes payable.

The fair value of the Mortgage Loans receivable was not readily determinable as September 30, 2011 as the fair value of the subject collateral is not determinable and the Company is unable to project future cash flows.

10. EQUITY

Common Stock

Under the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the “Charter”), the Company has the authority to issue 400,000,000 shares of common stock. All shares of common stock have a par value of $0.01 per share. On October 16, 2008,

Table of Contents

the Company sold 22,222 shares of common stock to Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. As of September 30, 2011, Anthony W. Thompson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, directly owned $1,000,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock and the Sponsor, which is controlled by Mr. Thompson, owned $200,000 in shares of the Company’s stock. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had sold 4,591,090 and 2,390,017 shares of common stock in the Offering and through the DRIP, for gross proceeds of $45,142,000 and $23,613,000, respectively.

The Company’s board of directors is authorized to amend the Charter, without the approval of the stockholders, to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of capital stock or the number of shares of any class or series that the Company has authority to issue.

Share Redemption Program

The Company’s share redemption program allows for share repurchases by the Company when certain criteria are met by requesting stockholders. Share repurchases pursuant to the share redemption program will be made at the sole discretion of the Company. The number of shares to be redeemed during any calendar year is limited to no more than (1) 5.0% of the weighted average of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year and (2) those that could be funded from the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the DRIP in the prior calendar year plus such additional funds as may be borrowed or reserved for that purpose by the Company’s board of directors. The Company reserves the right to reject any redemption request for any reason or no reason or to amend or terminate the share redemption program at any time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company redeemed 12,159 and 0 shares of common stock under its share redemption program.

Distributions

In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to its stockholders. Until the Company generates sufficient cash flow from operations to fully fund the payment of distributions, some or all of the Company’s distributions will be paid from other sources, including proceeds from the Offering. The amount and timing of cash distributions is determined by the board of directors of the Company and depends on the amount of funds available for distribution, current and projected cash requirements, tax considerations, any limitations imposed by the terms of indebtedness the Company may incur and other factors. As a result, the Company’s distribution rate and payment frequency may vary from time to time. Because the Company may receive income from interest or rents at various times during its fiscal year, distributions may not reflect income earned in that particular distribution period but may be made in anticipation of cash flow which the Company expects to receive during a later quarter and may be made in advance of actual receipt of funds in an attempt to make distributions relatively uniform. Due to these timing differences, the Company may be required to borrow money, use proceeds from the issuance of securities or sell assets in order to make distributions.

On August 13, 2009, the board of directors of the Company approved a monthly cash distribution of $0.05625 per common share, which represented an annualized distribution of $0.675 per share. The commencement of the distribution was subject to the Company having raised minimum offering proceeds of $2,000,000, the sale of a sufficient number of shares in the Offering to finance an asset acquisition and the identification and completion of an asset acquisition. On November 12, 2009, the Company achieved the minimum offering amount $2,000,000, and on November 19, 2009 the Company completed its first asset acquisition, thus satisfying all of the conditions for the commencement of the monthly distribution. The Company first paid distributions in December 2009.

On May 11, 2010, the board of directors of the Company authorized an increase to the Company’s previously declared monthly cash distribution from $0.05625 to $0.05833 per share of the Company’s common stock, contingent upon the closing of the acquisition of the Waianae Mall. The new monthly distribution amount represents an annualized distribution of $0.70 per share of the Company’s common stock and commenced in the calendar month following the closing of the Company’s acquisition of the Waianae Mall. The Company closed on the Waianae Mall on June 4, 2010, and the new monthly distribution rate began to accrue effective July 1, 2010.

On December 31, 2010, the Company authorized a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $136,000, of which $91,000 was paid in cash on January 14, 2011 and $45,000 was paid through the DRIP in the form of additional shares issued on January 1, 2011. On January 31, 2011 the Company authorized a monthly distribution in the aggregate of $141,000, of which $94,000 was paid in cash on February 13, 2011 and $47,000 was paid through the DRIP in the form of additional shares issued on February 1, 2011. On February 28, 2011, the Company authorized a monthly distribution in the aggregate of $146,000, of which $97,000 was paid in cash on March 14, 2011 and $49,000 was paid through the DRIP in the form of additional shares issued on March 1, 2011. On March 31, 2011, the Company authorized a monthly distribution in the aggregate of $155,000 of which $102,000 was paid in cash on April 14, 2011 and $53,000 was paid through the DRIP in the form of additional shares issued. On April 30, 2011, the Company authorized a monthly distribution in the aggregate of $169,000 of which $113,000 was paid in cash on May 14, 2011 and $56,000 was paid through the DRIP in the form of additional shares issued. On May 31, 2011, the Company authorized a monthly distribution in the aggregate of $186,000, of which $126,000 was paid in cash on June 14, 2011 and $60,000 was paid through the DRIP in the form of additional shares issued. On June 30, 2011, the Company authorized a monthly distribution in the aggregate of $197,000, of which $134,000 was paid in cash on July14, 2011 and $63,000 was paid through the DRIP in the form of additional shares issued. On July 31, 2011, the Company authorized a monthly distribution in the aggregate of $212,000, of which $144,000 was paid in cash on August 13, 2011 and $68,000 was paid through the DRIP in the form of additional shares issued.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company has adopted the DRIP which allows stockholders to purchase additional shares of common stock through the reinvestment of distributions, subject to certain conditions. The Company registered and reserved 10,526,316 shares of its common stock for sale pursuant to the DRIP. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, $516,000 and $154,000 in distributions were reinvested and 54,275 and 16,782 shares of common stock were issued under the DRIP, respectively.

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the basic EPS computation for the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The effect of non-vested shares, if dilutive, is computed using the treasury stock method. The Company applies the two-class method for determining EPS as its outstanding unvested shares with non-forfeitable dividend rights are considered participating securities. The Company’s excess of distributions over earnings related to participating securities are shown as a reduction in income (loss) attributable to stockholders in the Company’s computation of EPS.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share:

12. INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

The Company adopted an incentive plan on July 7, 2009 (the “Incentive Award Plan”) that provides for the grant of equity awards to its employees, directors and consultants and those of the Company’s affiliates. The Incentive Award Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards or cash-based awards. The Company has reserved 2,000,000 shares of common stock for stock grants pursuant to the Incentive Award Plan.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Independent Directors Compensation Plan, which is a sub-plan of the Incentive Award Plan, the Company granted each of its independent directors an initial grant of 5,000 shares of restricted stock (the “initial restricted stock grant”) following the Company’s raising of the $2,000,000 minimum offering amount in the Offering on November 12, 2009. Each new independent director that subsequently joins the board of directors receives the initial restricted stock grant on the date he or she joins the board of directors. In addition, on the date of each of the Company’s annual stockholders meetings at which an independent director is re-elected to the board of directors, he or she will receive 2,500 shares of restricted stock. The restricted stock vests one-third on the date of grant and one-third on each of the next two anniversaries of the grant date. The restricted stock will become fully vested and non-forfeitable in the event of an independent director’s termination of service due to his or her death or disability, or upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company.

On March 24, 2011, Arthur M. Friedman notified the Company of his resignation as a director of the Company and as Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Company (the “Audit Committee”), effective as of April 1, 2011. On April 1, 2011, in connection with Mr. Friedman’s resignation and pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Award Plan, the Company’s board of directors approved the acceleration of the vesting of approximately 3,333 shares of restricted common stock of the Company held by Mr. Friedman so that none of such shares of restricted common stock would be forfeited upon Mr. Friedman’s resignation. Mr. Phillip I Levin was elected to replace Mr. Freidman as an independent director and received an initial restricted stock grant of 5,000 shares.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Independent Directors Compensation Plan, on June 9, 2011, the Company issued (1) 2,500 shares of restricted common stock to each of Phillip I. Levin and Jeffrey S. Rogers in connection with their reelection to the Company’s board of directors and (2) 5,000 shares of restricted common stock to Peter K. Kompaniez in connection with his initial election to the Company’s board of directors. One-third of the shares of restricted stock granted to Messrs. Levin, Rogers and Kompaniez became non-forfeitable on the date of grant and an additional one third of the shares will become non-forfeitable on each of the first two anniversaries of the date of grant.

On June 9, 2011, Robert N. Ruth ceased to be a director of the Company and member of the Audit Committee. On June 9, 2011, and pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Award Plan, the Company’s board of directors approved the acceleration of the vesting of approximately 3,333 shares of restricted common stock of the Company held by Mr. Ruth so that none of such shares of restricted common stock would be forfeited.

The accelerated vesting of Messrs. Friedman and Ruth resulted in a reduction of deferred restricted stock grants, a component of additional paid in capital, of $60,000 and an increase in common stock of $60,000.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized compensation expense of $17,000 and $33,000, respectively, related to restricted common stock grants, which is included in general and administrative expense in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Shares of restricted common stock have full voting rights and rights to dividends.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized compensation expense of $128,000 and $60,000, respectively, related to restricted common stock grants, which is included in general and administrative expense in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was $81,000 and $75,000, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested shares of restricted common stock. As of September 30, 2011, this expense is expected to be realized over a remaining period of 1.75 years. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of the nonvested shares of restricted common stock was $81,000 and $90,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, 0 and 15,000 shares of restricted stock were issued respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, 1,000 and 13,000 shares vested, respectively.

13. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company reports as discontinued operations, properties held-for-sale and operating properties sold in the current period. The results of these discontinued operations are included in a separate component of income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Discontinued operations.” This reporting has resulted in certain reclassifications of 2010 financial statement amounts.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized a gain of $310,000 related to the sale of the ‘pad’ at the Craig Promenade property. Additionally, the Company reclassified the ‘pad’ at the Northgate property from discontinued operations to investment in real estate, as the ‘pad’ is no longer held for sale.

The components of income and expense relating to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are shown below.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement by and among the Company, the OP and Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”) and the Dealer Manager Agreement (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”) by and among the Company, the OP, and TNP Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager” or “TNP Securities”), the Company is obligated to pay Advisor and the Dealer Manager specified fees upon the provision of certain services related to the Offering, the investment of funds in real estate and real estate-related investments, management of the Company’s investments and for other services (including, but not limited to, the disposition of investments). Subject to certain limitations, the Company is also obligated to reimburse Advisor and Dealer Manager for organization and offering costs incurred by Advisor and Dealer Manager on behalf of the Company, and the Company is obligated to reimburse Advisor for acquisition and origination expenses and certain operating expenses incurred on behalf of the Company or incurred in connection with providing services to the Company.

The Company records all related party fees as incurred, subject to any limitations described in the Advisory Agreement.

On August 7, 2011, the Company, the OP and the Advisor entered into Amendment no.1 to the Advisory Agreement, effective as of August 7, 2011, in order to renew the term of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term expiring on August 7, 2012.

Table of Contents

Organization and Offering Costs

Organization and offering costs of the Company (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee described below) are initially paid by Advisor and its affiliates on the Company’s behalf. Such costs include legal, accounting, printing and other offering expenses, including marketing, salaries and direct expenses of certain of Advisor’s employees and employees of Advisor’s affiliates and others. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company is obligated to reimburse Advisor or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs associated with the Offering, provided the Company is not obligated to reimburse Advisor to the extent organization and offering costs, other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees, incurred by the Company exceed 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the Offering. Any such reimbursement will not exceed actual expenses incurred by Advisor. Prior to raising the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000 on November 12, 2009, the Company had no obligation to reimburse Advisor or its affiliates for any organization and offering costs.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, organization and offering costs incurred by Advisor on the Company’s behalf were $2,714,000 and $2,265,000, respectively. These costs are payable by the Company to the extent organization and offering costs, other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees, do not exceed 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, organization and offering costs did exceed 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, thus the amount in excess of the 3.0% limit, or $1,477,000 and $1,571,000, respectively, has been deferred. All organization costs are recorded as an expense when the Company has an obligation to reimburse Advisor.

Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees

The Dealer Manager receives a sales commission of 7.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in the primary offering. The Dealer Manager also receives 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares in the primary offering in the form of a dealer manager fee as compensation for acting as the dealer manager. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $723,000 and $413,000, respectively, of sales commissions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $1,456,000 and $973,000, respectively, of sales commissions. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $318,000 and $182,000, respectively, of dealer manager fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $617,000 and $427,000, respectively, of dealer manager fees. As of September 30, 2011, the Company incurred $3,186,000 of sales commissions and $1,374,000 of dealer manager fees, which are recorded as an offset to additional paid-in-capital.

Reimbursement of Operating Expenses

The Company reimburses Advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse Advisor for any amount by which the Company’s operating expenses (including the asset management fee described below) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of: (1) 2% of its average invested assets, or (2) 25% of its net income determined without reduction for any additions to depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash expenses and excluding any gain from the sale of the Company’s assets for that period (the “2%/25% guidelines”). Notwithstanding the above, the Company may reimburse Advisor for expenses in excess of 2%/25% guidelines if a majority of the independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, the Company’s total operating expenses exceeded the 2%/25% guideline by $275,000, which such excess amount has been approved by the Company’s independent directors. The Company’s independent directors determined the excess amount of operating expenses for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 was justified because (1) the amounts reflect legitimate operating expenses necessary for the operation of the Company’s business, (2) the Company is currently in its acquisition and development stage, (3) certain of the Company’s properties are not yet stabilized, and (4) the Company is continuing to raise capital in the Offering, but the expenses incurred as a result of being a public company (including for audit and legal services, director and officer liability insurance and fees for directors) are disproportionate to the Company’s average invested assets and net income and such expenses will benefit the Company and its stockholders in future periods.

The Company reimburses Advisor for the cost of administrative services, including personnel costs and its allocable share of other overhead of the Advisor such as rent and utilities; provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be made for costs of such personnel to the extent that personnel are used in transactions for which Advisor receives a separate fee or with respect to an officer of the Company. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $178,000 and $30,000, respectively of administrative services to Advisor. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $310,000 and $78,000, respectively, of administrative services to Advisor. As of September 30, 2011, administrative services of $5,000 was included in amounts due to affiliates. As of December 31, 2010, administrative services of $23,000 was included in amounts due to affiliates.

Property Management Fee

The Company pays TNP Property Manager, LLC (“TNP Manager”), its property manager and an affiliate of Advisor, a market-based property management fee of up to 5.0% of the gross revenues generated by each property in connection with the operation and management of the Company’s properties. TNP Manager may subcontract with third party property managers and will be responsible for supervising and compensating those property managers. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $116,000 and $76,000, respectively, in property management fees to TNP Manager. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $311,000 and $112,000, respectively, in property management fees to TNP Manager. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, property management fees of $17,000 and $16,000, respectively, were included in amounts due to affiliates.

Acquisition and Origination Fee

The Company pays Advisor an acquisition fee equal to 2.5% of the cost of investments acquired, including acquisition expenses and any debt attributable to such investments. The Company incurred $338,000 and $268,000 in acquisition fees to the Advisor during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company incurred $1,483,000 and $1,020,000 in acquisition fees to Advisor during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

The Company pays Advisor 2.5% of the amount funded by the Company to acquire or originate real estate-related loans, including third party expenses related to such investments and any debt used to fund the acquisition or origination of the real estate related loans. The Company incurred $10,000 and $0 of loan origination fees to the Advisor for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company incurred $49,000 and $0 of loan origination fees to the Advisor for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, acquisition and loan origination fees of $0 and $0, respectively were included in amounts due to affiliates.

Asset Management Fee

The Company pays Advisor a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.6% on all real estate investments the Company acquires; provided, however, that Advisor will not be paid the asset management fee until the Company’s funds from operations exceed the lesser of (1) the cumulative amount of any distributions declared and payable to the Company’s stockholders or (2) an amount that is equal to a 10.0% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on invested capital for the Company’s stockholders. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company amended and terminated its contingent contractual obligation to pay asset management fees. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, asset management fees of $2,000 and $0, respectively, were included in amounts due to affiliates.

On November 11, 2011, the board of directors approved Amendment no. 2 to the Advisory Agreement to clarify that upon termination of the Advisory Agreement, any asset management fees that may have accumulated in arrears, but which have not been earned pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, will not be paid to the Advisor. Amendment no. 2 to the Advisory Agreement is effective as of July 1, 2011 and results in a contingent obligation to pay asset management fees, which is not currently probable. As a result, the Company reversed asset management fees that had been accrued, but which have not been earned through June 30, 2011.

Disposition Fee

If Advisor or its affiliates provides a substantial amount of services, as determined by the Company’s independent directors, in connection with the sale of a real property, Advisor or its affiliates also will be paid disposition fees up to 50.0% of a customary and competitive real estate commission, but not to exceed 3.0% of the contract sales price of each property sold. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred $30,000 of disposition fees payable to Advisor. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company did not incur any disposition fees payable to Advisor.

Guaranty Fee

As part of the acquisition of the Waianae Mall, Anthony W. Thompson, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, guaranteed the mortgage loan assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition of the Waianae Mall. Additionally, the Sponsor, Mr. Thompson and AWT guaranteed Tranche B of the Credit Agreement discussed in Note 8 which matured on June 30, 2011. In connection with these guarantees, the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Thompson, AWT and the Sponsor certain fees (“guaranty fees”). As discussed in Note 8, in connection with the acquisition of the Mortgage Loans, the Company and Mr. Thompson agreed to jointly and severally guaranty to the Acquisition Lender the full and prompt payment and performance of certain of TNP SRT Constitution’s obligations under the Acquisition Loan. In connection with these guarantees, the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Thompson certain guaranty fees. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $36,000 and $0, respectively, of guaranty fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $90,000 and $25,000, respectively, of guaranty fees. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, guaranty fees of $36,000 and $11,000, respectively, were included in amounts due to affiliates.

identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase, and disposition of real estate and real estate-related investments; management of the daily operations of the Company’s real estate and real estate-related investment portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the respective services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Although there can be no assurance, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Approval of Certain Total Operating Expenses

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, the Company’s total operating expenses exceeded the 2%/25% guideline by $275,000. On November 11, 2011, the independent directors determined the excess amount of operating expenses for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 was justified because (1) the amounts reflect legitimate operating expenses necessary for the operation of the Company’s business, (2) the Company is currently in its acquisition and development stage, (3) certain of the Company’s properties are not yet stabilized, and (4) the Company is continuing to raise capital in the Offering, but the expenses incurred as a result of being a public company (including for audit and legal services, director and officer liability insurance and fees for directors) are disproportionate to the Company’s average invested assets and net income and such expenses will benefit the Company and its stockholders in future periods. The independent directors further resolved, however, that Advisor will be required to repay the Company any portion of such excess amount to the extent that, as of the termination of the Advisory Agreement, the Company’s aggregate operating expenses as of such date exceed the 2%/25% guideline for all prior periods.

Status of the Offering

The Company commenced the Offering on August 7, 2009. As of November 7, 2011, the Company had sold 5,054,306 shares of common stock in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $50,141,419, including 91,417 shares of common stock under the DRIP for gross offering proceeds of $868,465.

Distributions

On September 30, 2011, the Company authorized a monthly distribution in the aggregate of $253,000, of which $169,000 was paid in cash on October 13, 2011 and $84,000 was paid through the DRIP in the form of additional shares issued on October 13, 2011. On October 31, 2011, the Company authorized a monthly distribution in the aggregate of $279,000 of which $185,000 was paid in cash on November 14, 2011 and $94 was paid through the DRIP in the form of additional shares issued on November 14, 2011.

On September 30, 2011, the Company authorized a monthly distribution related to the non-controlling Common Units in the aggregate of $17,000 of which $17,000 was paid in cash on October 13, 2011. On October 31, 2011, the Company authorized a monthly distribution related to the non-controlling Common Units in the aggregate of $17,000, of which $17,000 was paid in cash on November 14, 2011.

Property Acquisition

On October 11, 2011, the Company acquired a fee simple interest in a multi-tenant necessity retail center located in Kissimmee, Florida commonly known as Osceola Village (the “Osceola Property”) through TNP SRT Osceola Village, LLC (“TNP SRT Osceola Village”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the OP, pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions, dated as of September 1, 2011, by and between TNP SRT Osceola Village and So Wehren Holding Corp., a third party seller.

Table of Contents

TNP SRT Osceola Village acquired the Osceola Property for an aggregate purchase price of $21,800,000, exclusive of closing costs, or approximately $186.89 per square foot. TNP SRT Osceola Village financed the payment of the purchase price for the Osceola Property with (1) proceeds from the Offering and (2) the proceeds of a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $19,000,000 (the “Osceola Loan”) from American National Insurance Company, a Texas insurance company (the “Osceola Lender”). An acquisition fee of approximately $545,000 was paid to Advisor in connection with the acquisition of the Osceola Property.

On October 21, 2011, TNP SRT Constitution acquired fee title to the Constitution Trail Property pursuant to a consent foreclosure proceeding. In connection with TNP SRT Constitution’s acquisition of the Constitution Trail Property, TNP SRT Constitution obtained a mortgage loan (the “Constitution Trail Loan”) from the Acquisition Lender evidenced by a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $15,543,696. The Constitution Trail Loan is secured by the Constitution Trail Property.

Property Disposition

On October 6, 2011, the Company sold a ‘pad’ at the Craig Promenade for an aggregate sale price of $2,015,000, exclusive of closing costs. All proceeds from the transaction were sent to a deferred exchange account, and subsequently used to acquire the Osceola Village property.

Amendment to Advisory Agreement

On November 11, 2011, the board of directors approved Amendment no. 2 to the Advisory Agreement to clarify that upon termination of the Advisory Agreement, any asset management fees that may have accumulated in arrears, but which have not been earned pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, will not be paid to the Advisor. Amendment no. 2 to the Advisory Agreement is effective as of July 1, 2011 and results in a contingent obligation to pay asset management fees, which is not currently probable. As a result, the company reversed asset management fees that had been accrued from inception through June 30, 2011.

Overview

We are a Maryland corporation formed on September 18, 2008 to invest in and manage a portfolio of income producing retail properties located primarily in the Western United States. We may also invest in real estate-related loans, including the investment in or origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans related to commercial real estate. We own substantially all of our assets and conduct our operations through our operating partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2009.

On November 4, 2008, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a maximum of 100,000,000 shares of our common stock to the public in our primary offering and 10,526,316 shares of our common stock to stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. On August 7, 2009, the SEC declared our registration statement effective and we commenced our initial public offering. We are offering shares of our common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain purchasers, and to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $9.50 per share. Our initial public offering will not last beyond August 7, 2012 (three years from the date of the commencement of our initial public offering); provided, however, under rules promulgated by the SEC, in some circumstances we could continue our primary offering until as late as February 7, 2013. We may terminate our offering at any time.

On November 12, 2009, we raised the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000 and offering proceeds were released to us from an escrow account. From the commencement of our public offering through September 30, 2011, we sold 4,591,090 shares for gross offering proceeds of $45,142,485, which includes 82,830 shares of common stock issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, for gross proceeds of $786,889.

We intend to invest in a portfolio of income-producing retail properties, primarily located in the Western United States, including neighborhood, community and lifestyle shopping centers, multi-tenant shopping centers and free standing single-tenant retail properties. In addition to investments in real estate directly or through joint ventures, we may also acquire or originate first mortgages or second mortgages, mezzanine loans or other real estate-related loans, which we refer to collectively as “real estate-related loans,” in each case provided that the underlying real estate meets our criteria for direct investment. We may also invest in any other real property or other real estate-related assets that, in the opinion of our board of directors, meets our investment objectives.

As of September 30, 2011 our portfolio included (1) eight properties, which we refer to as “our properties,” comprising 709,044 rentable square feet of multi-tenant retail and commercial space located in six states and (2) three distressed mortgage notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $42,467,593, secured by a multi-tenant retail property, which we refer to as the “mortgage loans.” Our property portfolio is comprised of Moreno Marketplace, or the Moreno property, located in Moreno Valley, CA, Waianae Mall, or the Waianae property, located in Oahu, HI, Northgate Plaza, or the Northgate property, located in Tucson, AZ, San Jacinto Esplanade, or the San Jacinto property, located in San Jacinto, CA, Craig Promenade, located in Las Vegas, NV, Pinehurst Square East, or the Pinehurst property, located in Bismarck, ND, Cochran Bypass, or the Cochran property, located in Chester, SC, and Topaz Marketplace, or the Topaz property, located in Hesperia, CA. As of September 30, 2011, the rentable space at our properties was 84.0% leased. The mortgage loans are secured by a 197,739 square foot multi-tenant retail center, commonly known as the Constitution Trail Centre, or the Constitution Trail property, located in Normal, Illinois, a suburb of Bloomington, Illinois. As of September 30, 2011, the borrower of the mortgage loans was in default and we were pursuing foreclosure proceedings against the borrower.

Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is managed by TNP Strategic Retail Advisor, LLC, our external advisor, pursuant to an advisory agreement. We refer to TNP Strategic Retail Advisor, LLC as our “advisor.” Our advisor conducts our operations and manages our portfolio of real estate investments. We have no paid employees.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2011 versus the three months ended September 30, 2010

The following table provides summary information about our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

Revenue

Revenues increased by $1,021,000 to $2,813,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,792,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to four additional property acquisitions since September 30, 2010. The occupancy rate for our property portfolio was 84.0% based on 709,044 rentable square feet as of September 30, 2011. We expect rental income to increase in future periods as we acquire additional real estate investments and have a full period operations from existing real estate investments.

Interest income

Interest income increased by $406,000 to $407,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was related primarily to interest earned from the mortgage loans that were acquired on June 29, 2011.

Operating and maintenance expenses

Operating and maintenance expense decreased by $222,000 to $490,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $712,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the Company’s amended termination of it’s contractual obligation to pay asset management fees. Included in operating and maintenance expenses are property management fees incurred to our advisor and its affiliates of $(116,000) and $75,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $323,000 to $799,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $476,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of legal and accounting, restricted stock compensation, directors’ fees, insurance, due diligence costs for potential acquisitions and organization expenses reimbursable to our advisor. Increase is due to increases in employee head-count.

Depreciation and amortization expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $444,000 to $1,259,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $815,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to four additional property acquisitions since September 30, 2010. We expect these amounts to increase in future years as a result of owning certain of our properties for a full year and as a result of anticipated future acquisitions.

Acquisition expenses

Acquisition expense increased by $316,000 to $808,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $492,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition expenses for the Cochran property and the Topaz property.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased by $965,000 to $1,677,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $712,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the increased debt levels associated with the acquisition of four additional properties and the mortgage loans since September 30, 2010. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 included the amortization of deferred financing costs of $126,000. Our four additional real estate property acquisitions were financed with $9,220,000 of indebtedness. We expect that in future periods our interest expense will vary based on the amount of our borrowings, which will depend on the cost of borrowings, the amount of proceeds we raise in our ongoing initial public offering and our ability to identify and acquire real estate and real estate-related assets that meet our investment objectives.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations

Income from discontinued operations increased by $407,000 to $435,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $28,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we had classified four pads as discontinued operations compared to two pads we had identified that would have been classified as discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Included in income from discontinued operations was a gain on the sale of the Popeye’s Pad at Craig Promenade. The sale resulted in a $310,000 gain.

Net loss

We had a net loss of $1,378,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Our operating loss is due primarily to the reasons set forth above, the fact that we owned eight real estate investments as of September 30, 2011 and that we commenced real estate operations on November 19, 2009. We expect net loss to decrease in future years as we acquire real estate and real estate-related assets that meet our investment objectives. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $1,386,000 due primarily to the fact that we only owned two real estate investments.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2010

Revenue

Revenues increased by $4,239,000 to $6,869,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2,630,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to four additional property acquisitions since September 30, 2010. The occupancy rate for our property portfolio was 84% based on 709,044 rentable square feet as of September 30, 2011. We expect rental income to increase in future periods as we acquire additional real estate investments and have a full period operations from existing real estate investments.

Interest income

Interest income increased by $537,000 to $541,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $4,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was related primarily to interest earned from the mortgage loans that were acquired on June 29, 2011, as well as interest earned on cash deposits held for future acquisitions.

Operating and maintenance expenses

Operating and maintenance expenses increased by $1,165,000 to $2,274,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,109,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to four additional property acquisitions since September 30, 2010. Included in operating and maintenance expenses are property management fees incurred to our advisor and its affiliates of $311,000 and $112,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in operating and maintenance expense was offset by a decrease in asset management fees due to the amended termination of its contractual obligation to pay asset management fees.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $627,000 to $1,781,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,154,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of legal and accounting, restricted stock compensation, directors’ fees, insurance, due diligence costs for potential acquisitions and organization expenses reimbursable to our advisor.

Depreciation and amortization expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1,659,000 to $2,835,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,176,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to four additional property acquisitions since September 30, 2010. We expect these amounts to increase in future years as a result of owning certain of our properties for a full year and as a result of anticipated future acquisitions.

Acquisition expenses

Acquisition expense increased by $934,000 to $2,260,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,326,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of the Craig Promenade, the Pinehurst property, the Cochran property, the Topaz property and the mortgage loans.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased by $1,898,000 to $3,180,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,282,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the increased debt levels associated with the acquisition of four additional properties and the mortgage loan since September 30, 2010. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included the amortization of deferred financing costs of $281,000. Our real estate property acquisitions and mortgage loan acquisitions were financed with $83,003,000 of indebtedness. We expect that in future periods our interest expense will vary based on the amount of our borrowings, which will depend on the cost of borrowings, the amount of proceeds we raise in our ongoing initial public offering and our ability to identify and acquire real estate and real estate-related assets that meet our investment objectives.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations

Income from discontinued operations increased by $438,000 to $521,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $83,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had classified four pads as discontinued operations compared to two pads we had identified that would have been classified as discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Included in income from discontinued operations was a gain on the sale of the Popeye’s pad at Craig Promenade. The sale resulted in a $310,000 gain.

Net loss

We had a net loss of $4,399,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Our operating loss is due primarily to the reasons set forth above, the fact that we owned eight real estate properties and the mortgage loans as of September 30, 2011 and that we commenced real estate operations on November 19, 2009. We expect net loss to decrease in future years as we acquire real estate and real estate-related assets that meet our investment objectives. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $3,330,000 due primarily to owning four real estate investments.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

As of September 30, 2011, we owned eight real estate properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in operating activities increased by $922,000 to $593,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,515,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities consisted primarily of the following:

 

   

net loss of $4,399,000, adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $2,835,000;

 

   

$310,000 from gain on sale of real estate

 

   

$(193,000) from increases in prepaid and other assets;

 

   

$(441,000) from increases in accounts receivable;

 

   

$(113,000) from decreases in other liabilities;

 

   

$128,000 from increases in stock based compensation;

 

   

$ 1,357,000 from increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses;

 

   

$297,000 from decreases in amounts due to affiliates;

 

   

$100,000 from increases in allowance for doubtful accounts; and

 

   

$120,000 from increases to restricted cash.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our cash used in investing activities will vary based on how quickly we raise funds in our ongoing initial public offering and how quickly we invest those funds. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in investing activities was $56,446,000 compared to $16,390,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase primarily consisted of the acquisition of the Craig Promenade, the Pinehurst property, the Constitution Trail mortgage loans, Cochran Bypass and Topaz Marketplace for an aggregate purchase price of $61,700,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we acquired the Waianae Mall property, the Northgate property, and the San Jacinto property and recorded net cash used in investing activities of $16,390,000.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Our cash flows from financing activities consist primarily of proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering, debt financings and distributions paid to our stockholders. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash provided by financing activities increased by $42,307,000 to $56,940,000, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $17,633,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase primarily consisted of the following:

 

   

Net cash provided by debt financings as a result of proceeds from notes payable of $49,015,000 partially offset by principal payments on notes payable of $(9,072,000) and payments of deferred financing costs of $786,000;

 

   

$21,521,000 of cash provided by offering proceeds related to our initial public offering, net of payments of commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering expenses of $(2,508,000);

 

   

$(1,108,000) of cash distributions; and

 

   

$(122,000) used to pay share redemptions

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

We commenced real estate operations with the acquisition of our first property on November 19, 2009. Our principal demand for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate assets, the payment of operating expenses, principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and the payment of distributions to our stockholders. Currently, our cash needs for operations are covered from cash provided by property operations and the sale of shares of our common stock, including those offered for sale through the distribution reinvestment plan. Over time, we intend to generally fund our cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions from operations. Our cash needs for acquisitions and investments will be funded primarily from the sale of shares of our common stock, including those offered for sale through the distribution reinvestment plan, and through the assumption of debt or other financing. Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties are added to our portfolio. The offering and organization costs associated with our ongoing offering are initially paid by our advisor, which will be reimbursed for such costs up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds raised by us in the offering. As of September 30, 2011, our advisor or its affiliates have paid $2,714,000 in organization and offering costs on our behalf and we have reimbursed $1,237,000 of offering and organization costs.

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

On a long-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for real estate and real estate-related investments and the payment of acquisition related expenses, operating expenses, distributions to stockholders, redemptions of shares and interest and principal on any future indebtedness. Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions and acquisition related expenses from our cash flow from operations, and we expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions from the net proceeds of our ongoing offering and from debt financings. 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 from our ongoing offering, cash advanced to us by our advisor, borrowings under our credit agreement and/or borrowings in anticipation of future cash flow. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we funded distributions to our stockholders from the proceeds of our ongoing public offering.

Line of Credit

On December 17, 2010, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary, TNP SRT Secured Holdings, LLC, or TNP SRT Holdings, entered into the Credit Agreement with KeyBank, to establish a secured revolving credit facility, or the credit facility, with an initial maximum aggregate commitment of $35 million. The commitment may be increased, subject to certain conditions, in minimum increments of $5 million, by up to $115 million in the aggregate, for a maximum commitment of up to $150 million. We may reduce the facility amount at any time, subject to certain conditions, in minimum increments of $5 million, provided that in no event may the facility amount be less than $20 million, unless the commitments are reduced to zero and the credit facility is terminated. The proceeds of the credit facility may be used by us for general corporate purposes, subject to the terms of the credit agreement. Tranche B of the credit facility, in the maximum amount of $5 million, matured on September 30, 2011. Tranche A of the credit facility matures on December 17, 2013. We have the option to extend the Tranche A maturity date for one year subject to certain conditions as set forth in the credit agreement.

On May 26, 2011, we, our operating partnership, our sponsor Thompson National Properties, LLC, Anthony W. Thompson and KeyBank amended the credit agreement to increase the maximum aggregate commitment of KeyBank under the credit agreement from $35 million to $38 million, or the temporary increase, effective June 30, 2011, and increased the aggregate commitment under Tranche A of the credit agreement to $38 million. The amendment provided that the temporary increase would be available until July 26, 2011, at which time any amounts outstanding under the credit agreement in excess of $35 million became immediately due and payable in full. On August 9, 2011, we, our operating partnership, our sponsor, Anthony W. Thompson, TNP SRT Holdings, AWT Family Limited Partnership, or AWT, a California limited partnership controlled by Mr. Thompson, certain subsidiaries of TNP SRT Holdings and KeyBank entered into an amendment to the credit agreement, or the Amendment, effective as of June 30, 2011. The Amendment extends the maturity date of the temporary increase from July 26, 2011 to August 26, 2011, provides that Tranche B of the credit facility matured on June 30, 2011, any remaining balance of outstanding loans under Tranche B of the credit facility, was deemed to be a loan under Tranche A of the credit facility as of June 30, 2011, and Mr. Thompson and AWT were released from their joint and several guaranty of the payment of all borrowings under the Tranche B of the credit facility as of June 30, 2011. On September 23, 2011 in connection with the acquisition of the Topaz property, we, certain of our subsidiaries and KeyBank entered into a Fourth Omnibus Amendment and Reaffirmation of the loan documents relating to the credit agreement, or the fourth omnibus amendment. The fourth omnibus amendment amended the credit agreement to increase the maximum aggregate commitment of KeyBank under the credit agreement from $38 million to $45 million, such increase the “ second temporary increase”. The fourth omnibus amendment also amended, the credit agreement to provide that the second temporary increase (1) will be reduced on or prior to October 25, 2011 by an amount necessary to reduce the Tranche A commitment to $43 million, at which point any amounts outstanding under the credit agreement in excess of $43 million will be due and payable in full, and (2) will otherwise remain in effect until December 22, 2011, at which time any amounts outstanding under the credit agreement in excess of $35 million will become immediately due and payable in full.

On August 23, 2011, we, certain of our subsidiaries and KeyBank entered into an amendment to the credit agreement, effective as of June 29, 2011, or the amendment and waiver. The amendment and waiver provides that the value of the Constitution Trail property which secures the three distressed mortgage loans acquired by us on June 29, 2011 will be included in the calculation of Total Asset Value (as defined in the credit agreement), and that the value attributed to the Constitution Trail property for the purposes of such calculation will be the value of the mortgage loans determined at the lesser of cost or carrying value.

On September 23, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of the Topaz property, TNP SRT Topaz financed the payment of the purchase price with $8,000,000 in funds borrowed under our existing revolving credit agreement with KeyBank.

As of September 30, 2011, the outstanding balances under Tranche A and Tranche B of the credit facility were $45.0 million and $0, respectively. In March 2011 and June 2011, we entered into two interest rate cap agreements with KeyBank in the notional amounts of $16.0 million and $10.0 million and interest rate caps with a strike price of LIBOR at 7%, effective on April 4, 2011 and June 15, 2011, respectively. Neither interest rate cap agreement is designated as a hedge.

Borrowings pursuant to the credit agreement determined by reference to the Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) bear interest at the lesser of (1) the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.50% per annum in the case of a Tranche A borrowing and 3.25% in the case of a Tranche B borrowing, or (2) the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law. Borrowings determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) bear interest at the lesser of (1) the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 3.50% per annum in the case of a Tranche A borrowing and 4.25% in the case of a Tranche B borrowing, or (2) the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law.

Borrowings under the credit agreement are secured by (1) pledges by us, our operating partnership, TNP SRT Holdings, and certain subsidiaries of TNP SRT Holdings, of their respective direct and indirect equity ownership interests in, as applicable, any subsidiary of TNP SRT Holdings or us which, directly or indirectly, owns real property, subject to certain limitations and exceptions, (2) guarantees, granted by us and our operating partnership on a joint and several basis, of the prompt and full payment of all of the obligations, terms and conditions to be paid, performed or observed with respect to the credit agreement, (3) a security interest granted in favor of KeyBank with respect to all operating, depository (including, without limitation, the deposit account used to receive subscription payments for the sale of equity interests in our public offering), escrow and security deposit accounts and all cash management services of us, our operating partnership, TNP SRT Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries, and, (4) a deed of trust, assignment agreement, security agreement and fixture filing in favor of KeyBank, with respect to the Moreno property, Northgate property, San Jacinto property, Craig Promenade, Pinehurst property, and Topaz property.

The credit agreement contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including, but not limited to, requirements for minimum net worth, debt service coverage and leverage. We believe we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility as of September 30, 2011.

Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

In order to execute our investment strategy, we primarily utilize secured debt, and, to the extent available, in the future utilize unsecured debt, to finance a portion of our investment portfolio. Management remains vigilant in monitoring the risks inherent with the use of debt in our portfolio and is taking actions to ensure that these risks, including refinancing and interest rate risks, are properly balanced with the benefit of using leverage. We may elect to obtain financing subsequent to the acquisition date on future real estate acquisitions and initially acquire investments without debt financing. Once we have fully invested the proceeds of our ongoing initial public offering, we expect our debt financing to be approximately 50% of the market value of our properties. Our charter limits us from borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets. Net assets for purposes of this calculation is defined as our total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost prior to deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts and other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. The preceding calculation is generally expected to approximate 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. However, our charter allows us to temporarily borrow in excess of these amounts if such excess is approved by a majority of the independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report, along with an explanation for such excess. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we exceeded the 300% limit due to the exclusion from total assets of intangible assets that were acquired with the acquisition of our properties. Because these intangible assets were part of the purchase price and because our overall indebtedness was less than 75% of the book value of our assets at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, this excess borrowing has been approved by our independent directors.

In addition to using our capital resources for investing purposes and meeting our debt obligations, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor and the dealer manager. During our organization and offering stage, these payments will include payments to the dealer manager for selling commissions and dealer manager fees and payments to the dealer manager and our advisor for reimbursement of certain organization and other offering expenses. However, we will not reimburse our advisor to the extent that organization and offering expenses, excluding selling commissions and dealer manager fees paid by us would exceed 3.0% of our gross offering proceeds. During our acquisition and development stage, we expect to make payments to our advisor in connection with the selection and origination or purchase of real estate and real estate-related investments, the management of our assets and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us.

(3) Represents obligations for tenant improvements under tenant leases as of September 30, 2011.
(4) Represents obligations to related parties as discussed in Note 14.

Organization and Offering Costs

Organization and offering costs (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) are initially being paid by our advisor and its affiliates on our behalf. Such costs include legal, accounting, printing and other offering expenses, including marketing, salaries and direct expenses of certain of our advisor’s employees and employees of our advisor’s affiliates and others. Pursuant to the advisory agreement with our advisor, we are obligated to reimburse our advisor or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs associated with our initial public offering, provided we are not obligated to reimburse our advisor to the extent organization and offering costs, other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees, incurred by us exceed 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds from our initial public offering. Any such reimbursement will not exceed actual expenses incurred by our advisor.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, organization and offering costs incurred by our advisor on our behalf were $2,714,000 and $2,265,000, respectively. These costs are payable by us to the extent organization and offering costs, other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees, do not exceed 3.0% of the gross proceeds of our initial public offering. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, organization and offering costs exceeded 3.0% of the gross proceeds of our initial public offering, thus the amount in excess of the 3.0% limit, or $1,477,000 and $1,571,000, respectively, has been deferred.

All offering costs, including sales commissions of $1,456,000 and dealer manager fees of $617,000, are recorded as an offset to additional paid-in-capital, and all organization costs are recorded as an expense when we have an obligation to reimburse our advisor.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP performance financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of Real Estate Investment Trust operating performance. We use FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts to be net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains (or losses) from sales of property (including deemed sales and settlements of preexisting relationships), plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after related adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and subsidiaries and noncontrolling interests. We believe that FFO is helpful to our investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared year to year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which are not immediately apparent from net income. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate and intangibles diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. As a result, our management believes that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, is helpful for our investors in understanding our performance. Factors that impact FFO include start-up costs, fixed costs, delay in buying assets, lower yields on cash held in accounts, income from portfolio properties and other portfolio assets, interest rates on acquisition financing and operating expenses.

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

 

  (1) acquisition fees and expenses;

 

  (2) straight line rent amounts, both income and expense;

 

  (3) amortization of above or below market intangible lease assets and liabilities;

 

  (4) amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments;

 

  (5) impairment charges;

 

  (6) gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

  (10) gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments; and

 

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

We believe that MFFO is a helpful measure of operating performance because it excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities or non-operating valuation and other changes. Accordingly, we believe that MFFO can be a useful metric to assist management, investors and analysts in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages of an offering are complete and a net asset value is disclosed. As explained below, management’s evaluation of our operating performance excludes the items considered in the calculation based on the following economic considerations:

 

   

Adjustments for acquisition costs. In evaluating investments in real estate, including both business combinations and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, management’s investment models and analyses differentiate costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Prior to 2009, acquisition costs for both business combinations and equity investments were capitalized; however, beginning in 2009, acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed. These acquisitions costs have been and will continue to be funded from the proceeds of our continuous public offering and other financing sources and not from operations. We believe by excluding expensed acquisition costs, MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of our real estate investments and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition expenses include those costs paid to our advisor and third parties.

Adjustments for impairment charges, gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting and gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments. Each of these items relates to a fair value adjustment, which is based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions and specific performance of the holding, which may not be directly attributable to our current operating performance. As these gains or losses relate to underlying long-term assets and liabilities, where we are not speculating or trading assets, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in our core operating fundamentals rather than changes that may reflect anticipated gains or losses. In particular, because GAAP impairment charges are not allowed to be reversed if the underlying fair values improve or because the timing of impairment charges may lag the onset of certain operating consequences, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information related to current consequences, benefits and sustainability related to rental rate, occupancy and other core operating fundamentals.

 

   

Adjustments for amortization of above or below market intangible lease assets. Similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangibles diminishes predictably over time and that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since real estate values and market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economics of the real estate.

 

   

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

 

   

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

We believe MFFO is useful to investors in evaluating how our portfolio might perform after our offering and acquisition stage has been completed and, as a result, may provide an indication of the sustainability of our distributions in the future. However, as described in greater detail below, MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), nor as an indication of our liquidity. Many of the adjustments to MFFO are similar to adjustments required by SEC rules for the presentation of pro forma business combination disclosures, particularly acquisition expenses, gains or losses recognized in business combinations and other activity not representative of future activities. Because MFFO is primarily affected by the same factors as FFO but without non-operating changes, particularly valuation changes, we believe the presentation of MFFO is useful to investors because fluctuations in MFFO are more indicative of changes in operating activities. MFFO is also more comparable in evaluating our performance over time and as compared to other real estate companies, which may not be as involved in acquisition activities or as affected by impairments and other non-operating charges.

FFO or MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), nor as indications of our liquidity, nor are they either indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. In particular, as we are currently in the acquisition phase of our life cycle, acquisition costs and other adjustments which are increases to MFFO are, and may continue to be, a significant use of cash. In addition, MFFO has limitations as a performance measure in an offering such as ours, where the price of a share of common stock is fixed and there is no net asset value determination during the offering stage and for a period thereafter. MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairment charges are taken into account in determining net asset value but excluded in determining MFFO. Investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. MFFO also excludes rental revenue adjustments and unrealized gains and losses related to certain other fair value adjustments. Although the related holdings are not held for sale or used in trading activities, if the holdings were sold currently, it could affect our operating results. Accordingly, both FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements. Our FFO and MFFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.

Distributions

During our offering stage, we may raise capital in our ongoing initial public offering more quickly than we acquire income-producing assets, and for some period after our offering stage, we may not be able to pay distributions solely from our cash from operations, in which case distributions may be paid in part from debt financing or with proceeds from our initial public offering. Distributions declared and distributions paid to our common stockholders and non-controlling operating partnership common limited partnership unit holders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were as follows:

(1) Distributions for the period from January 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011 are calculated at a monthly cash distribution rate of $0.05833 per share of common stock.
(2) Distributions are paid on a monthly basis. Distributions for all record dates of a given month are paid approximately 15 days following month end.

We commenced operations upon the acquisition of the Moreno property on November 19, 2009. We paid $1,274,000 in cash distributions during the period from December 2009 (the month we first paid distributions) through September 30, 2011. Our net loss from inception through September 30, 2011 was $9,991,000. For the fourth quarter of 2009, the year ended December 31, 2010, and the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in operations was $(4,014,000). From inception through September 30, 2011, FFO was $(5,146,000). For a discussion of how we calculated FFO, see “Funds from Operations and Modified Funds From Operations.”

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we paid aggregate distributions of $641,000, including $435,000 of distributions paid in cash and $206,000 of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan. Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $1,378,000, FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $(429,000), and cash flow from operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $533,000. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions reinvested pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, with proceeds from our initial public offering. See the reconciliation of FFO to net loss above under “Funds From Operations and Modified Funds From Operations.”

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we paid aggregate distributions of $1,571,000, including $1,108,000 of distributions paid in cash and $516,000 of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan. Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $4,399,000, FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $(1,874,000), and cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $(593,000). We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions reinvested pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, with proceeds from our initial public offering. See the reconciliation of FFO to net loss above under “Funds From Operations and Modified Funds From Operations.”

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2011.

Interim Financial Information

The financial information as of and for the period ended September 30, 2011 included in this quarterly report is unaudited, but includes all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; and such results may be less favorable. Our accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Form 10-K.

Inflation

The majority of our leases at our properties contain inflation protection provisions applicable to reimbursement billings for common area maintenance charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot basis, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain per square foot allowance. We expect to include similar provisions in our future tenant leases designed to protect us from the impact of inflation. Due to the generally long-term nature of these leases, annual rent increases, as well as rents received from acquired leases, may not be sufficient to cover inflation and rent may be below market.

REIT Compliance

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute as dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2011, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with our advisor and its affiliates, whereby we agree to pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, our advisor or its affiliates for acquisition fees and expenses, organization and offering costs, sales commissions, dealer manager fees, asset and property management fees and reimbursement of operating costs. Refer to Note 14 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Approval of Certain Total Operating Expenses

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, our total operating expenses exceeded the 2%/25% guideline by $275,000. On November 11, 2011, the independent directors determined the excess amount of operating expenses for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 was justified because (1) the amounts reflect legitimate operating expenses necessary for the operation of our business, (2) we are currently in our acquisition and development stage, (3) certain of our properties are not yet stabilized, and (4) we are continuing to raise capital in our continuous public offering, but the expenses incurred as a result of being a public company (including for audit and legal services, director and officer liability insurance and fees for directors) are disproportionate to our average invested assets and net income and such expenses will benefit us and our stockholders in future periods. The independent directors further resolved, however, that our advisor will be required to repay us any portion of such excess amount to the extent that, as of the termination of the advisory agreement, our aggregate operating expenses as of such date exceed the 2%/25% guideline for all prior periods.

Status of the Offering

We commenced our continuous public offering on August 7, 2009. As of November 7, 2011, we had sold 5,054,306 shares of common stock in our public offering for gross offering proceeds of $50,141,419, including 91,417 shares of common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $868,465.

Distributions

On September 30, 2011, we authorized a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $253,000, of which $169,000 was paid in cash on October 13, 2011 and $84,000 was paid pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan in the form of additional shares issued on October 13, 2011. On October 31, 2011, we authorized a monthly distribution in the aggregate of $279,000 of which $185,000 was paid in cash on November 14, 2011 and $94,000 was paid through the our distribution reinvestment plan in the form of additional shares issued on November 14, 2011.

On September 30, 2011, we authorized a monthly distribution related to the non-controlling common limited partnership interests in our operating partnership, or common units, in the aggregate of $17,000, of which $17,000 was paid in cash on October 13, 2011. On October 31, 2011, we authorized a monthly distribution related to the non-controlling common units in the aggregate of $17,000, of which $17,000 was paid in cash on November 14, 2011.

Property Acquisition

On October 11, 2011, we acquired a fee simple interest in a multi-tenant necessity retail center located in Kissimmee, Florida commonly known as Osceola Village, or the Osceola property, through TNP SRT Osceola Village, LLC or TNP SRT Osceola Village, a wholly owned subsidiary of our operating partnership.

TNP SRT Osceola Village acquired the Osceola property for an aggregate purchase price of $21,800,000, exclusive of closing costs, or approximately $186.89 per square foot. TNP SRT Osceola Village financed the payment of the purchase price for the Osceola property with (1) proceeds from our initial public offering and (2) the proceeds of a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $19,000,000 from American National Insurance Company, a Texas insurance company. An acquisition fee of approximately $545,000 was paid to our advisor in connection with the acquisition of the Osceola property.

On October 21, 2011, TNP SRT Constitution acquired fee title to the Constitution Trail property pursuant to a consent foreclosure proceeding. In connection with TNP SRT Constitution’s acquisition of the Constitution Trail property, TNP SRT Constitution acquired a mortgage loan from TL DOF III Holding Corporation, an unaffiliated third party lender, evidenced by a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $15,543,696. The Constitution Trail is secured by the Constitution Trail property.

Property Disposition

On October 6, 2011, we sold a ‘pad’ at the Craig Promenade for an aggregate sale price of $2,015,000, exclusive of closing costs. All proceeds from the transaction were sent to a deferred exchange account, and subsequently used to acquire the Osceola Village property.

Amendment to the Advisory Agreement

On November 11, 2011, the board of directors approved Amendment no. 2 to the Advisory Agreement to clarify that upon termination of the Advisory Agreement, any asset management fees that may have accumulated in arrears, but which have not been earned pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, will not be paid to the Advisor. Amendment no. 2 to the Advisory Agreement is effective as of July 1, 2011 and results in a contingent obligation to pay asset management fees, which is not currently probable. As a result, the company reversed asset management fees that had been accrued from inception through June 30, 2011.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund the acquisition, expansion and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We have managed and will continue to manage interest rate risk by maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level. In addition, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, floors, and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest-bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for payments to holders of our common stock and that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments. In March 2011 and June 2011, we entered into two interest rate cap agreements with KeyBank in the notional amounts of $16.0 million and $10.0 million and interest rate caps with a strike price of Libor at 7%, effective on April 4, 2011 and June 15, 2011, respectively. Neither interest rate cap agreement is designated as a hedge.

Borrowings under the credit agreement determined by reference to the Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) bear interest at the lesser of (1) the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.50% per annum in the case of a Tranche A borrowing and 3.25% in the case of a Tranche B borrowing, or (2) the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law. Borrowings under the credit agreement determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) bear interest at the lesser of (1) the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 3.50% per annum in the case of a Tranche A borrowing and 4.25% in the case of a Tranche B borrowing, or (2) the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law. The Tranche A maturity date is December 17, 2013. We have the option to extend the A Tranche an additional year subject to certain conditions as set forth in the credit agreement. The Tranche B matured on September 30, 2011.

We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. At September 30, 2011, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $37.9 million and the carrying value of our fixed rate debt was $45.0 million. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated at September 30, 2011. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.

Table of Contents

Conversely, movements in interest rates on variable rate debt would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of floating rate instruments. At September 30, 2011, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $45.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding, after giving consideration to the impact of a cap rate agreement on approximately $26.0 million of our variable rate debt. Based on interest rates as of September 30, 2011, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher during the 12 months ending September 30, 2012, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase by $450,000 and if interest rates were 100 basis points lower during the 12 months ending September 30 2012, interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease by $450,000.

The weighted-average interest rates of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt at September 30, 2011 were 9.49% and 5.50%, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect at September 30, 2011.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 13d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

On August 7, 2009, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-154975), covering a public offering of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock in our primary offering and 10,526,316 shares of common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan, was declared effective under the Securities Act. We are offering 100,000,000 shares of common stock in our primary offering at an aggregate offering price of up to $1.0 billion, or $10.00 per share, with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers. The 10,526,316 shares offered under our distribution reinvestment plan are initially being offered at an aggregate offering price of $9.50 per share. We will offer shares in our primary offering until the earlier of August 7, 2012, or until the date of the sale of all of the shares of our common stock registered in our primary offering. Under rules promulgated by the SEC, in some circumstances we could continue our primary offering until as late as February 7, 2013. In many states, we will need to renew our registration statement or file a new registration statement to continue our offering for these periods. We may terminate our offering at any time. We may sell shares under the distribution reinvestment plan beyond the termination of our primary offering until we have sold all the shares of our common stock under the distribution reinvestment plan.

From the commencement of our ongoing initial public offering through September 30, 2011, we had accepted investors’ subscriptions for and issued 4,591,090 shares of common stock in our ongoing initial public offering for gross offering proceeds of $45,142,485, including 82,830 shares of common stock under the distribution reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $786,889.

As of September 30, 2011, we had incurred selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs in the amounts set forth below. The dealer manager, TNP Securities, LLC, re-allowed all of the selling commissions and a portion of the dealer manager fees to participating broker dealers.

We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. We may use the net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the redemption of shares under our share redemption program, capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs and other funding obligations. As of September 30, 2011, we have used the net proceeds from our ongoing primary public offering and debt financing to invest $119,007,000 in real estate related assets, including $3,976,000 of acquisition expenses.

We have adopted a share redemption program that may provide limited liquidity to certain of our stockholders. Unless shares are being redeemed due to the death or disability of a stockholder, we may not redeem shares under the share redemption plan unless the holder has held the shares for at least one year. Additionally, the number of shares that may be redeemed during any calendar year is limited to (1) 5.0% of the weighted average of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year and (2) those that could be funded from the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the distribution reinvestment plan in the prior calendar year plus such additional funds as may be reserved for that purpose by our board of directors. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate the share redemption program at any time if it determines that the funds available to fund the share redemption program are needed for other business or operational purposes or that amendment, suspension or termination of the share redemption program is in the best interest of our stockholders. The share redemption program will terminate if the shares of our common stock are listed on a national securities exchange. Subject to the limitations above, we currently repurchase shares of our common stock as follows:
