TNP STRATEGIC RETAIL TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2012

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.

From commencement of the Offering through March 31, 2012, the Company had accepted investors’ subscriptions for, and issued, 7,921,143 shares, net of share redemptions, of the Company’s common stock, including 154,565 shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $78,310,000.

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 $2,587,249, or $9.00 per Common Unit. On March 12, 2012, in connection with the acquisition of the Shops at Turkey Creek, a retail property located in Knoxville, Tennessee, the OP issued 144,324 Common Units to certain of the sellers of Turkey Creek Marketplace who elected to receive Common Units for an aggregate value of $1,371,079, or $9.50 per Common Unit.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to invest in a portfolio of income-producing retail properties throughout the United States, with a focus on grocery anchored multi-tenant retail centers 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 March 31, 2012, the Company’s portfolio included 16 properties comprising 1,560,145 rentable square feet of retail space located in 13 states. As of March 31, 2012, the rentable space at the Company’s retail properties was 84% 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 (“Holdings”). Advisor has invested $1,000 in the OP in exchange for Common Units and Holdings 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company owned 94.8% and 95.4%, respectively, of the limited partnership interest in the OP. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Advisor owned 0.01% and 0.02%, respectively, of the limited partnership interest in the OP. Holdings owned 100% of the outstanding Special Units as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

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 variable interest entities based on standards set forth in ASC 810. In determining whether the Company has a controlling interest in a joint venture or a variable interest entity 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 March 31, 2012, the Company did not have any joint ventures or variable interests in any variable interest entities.

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 months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011 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 parent’s stockholders’ equity. Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests as adjusted for distributions in excess of earnings is presented as a reduction from net income (loss) in calculating net income (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 fair value or redemption value as of the balance sheet date and reported as liabilities or temporary equity depending on their terms. 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 liabilities or 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, and the resulting adjustment is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

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 the carrying amounts and recoverability of investments in real estate, impairments, real estate acquisition purchase price allocations, allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated useful lives to determine depreciation and amortization, and fair value determinations, 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had $1,466,000 and $1,101,000, respectively 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 consolidated 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. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company has an allowance for doubtful account of $223,000 and $228,000, respectively.

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

Table of Contents

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, and amortized over the remaining lease term. Above or below market leases are classified in acquired lease intangibles, or in acquired below market lease intangibles, 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 three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company acquired five properties, Morningside Marketplace (“Morningside Marketplace”), Woodland West Marketplace (“Woodland West”), Ensenada Square (“Ensenada Square”), the Shops at Turkey Creek (“Turkey Creek”), and Aurora Commons (“Aurora Commons”), and recorded the acquisitions as business combinations and expensed $1,453,000 of acquisition costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company acquired one property, Craig Promenade (“Craig Promenade”) and expensed $410,000 of acquisition costs. Costs incurred in pursuit of targeted properties for acquisitions not yet closed or those determined to no longer be viable have been expensed and are also classified in the consolidated statement of operations as acquisition expenses.

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.

Reportable Segments

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments. The Company has one reportable segment, income-producing retail properties, which consists of activities related to investing in real estate. The retail properties are geographically diversified throughout the United States, and the Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates operating performance on an overall portfolio level.

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   

Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. 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.

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. The Company did not record any impairment loss on its investments in real estate and related intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Assets Held-for-Sale and Discontinued Operations

Certain long-lived assets are classified as held-for-sale and are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. Discontinued operations is a component of an entity that has either been disposed of or is deemed to be held-for-sale and, (i) the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from ongoing operations as a result of the disposal transaction, and (ii) the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction.

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

 

10


Table of Contents

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.

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.

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.

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 Company’s tax returns remain subject to examination and 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 and its OP Common Units not held by the Company 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

As further discussed in Note 12, certain amounts from the prior year have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB”) issued new accounting guidance ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which amends various sections of Accounting Codification Statement (“ASC”) 820 and changes the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in order to improve consistency in the application and description of fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 clarifies how the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets and are not relevant when measuring the fair value of financial assets or of liabilities. In addition, the guidance expanded the disclosures for the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring quantitative information to be disclosed related to (1) the valuation processes used, (2) the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, and (3) use of a nonfinancial asset in a way that differs from the asset’s highest and best use. The revised guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and early application by public entities is prohibited. ASU 2011-04 is to be applied prospectively. The Company’s adoption of this ASU for the reporting period ended March 31, 2012, as required, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (ASC Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU No. 2011-11 creates new disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The changes to the ASC as a result of this update are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 (January 1, 2013 for the Company) and must be shown retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. This guidance requires new disclosures only, and will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance ASU No. 2011-10, Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate – a Scope Clarification, which amends ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. ASU No. 2011-10 states that when an investor ceases to have a controlling financial interest in an entity that is in-substance real estate as a result of a default on the entity’s nonrecourse debt, the investor should apply the guidance under ASC Subtopic 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment – Real Estate Sales to determine whether to derecognize the entity’s assets (including real estate) and liabilities (including the nonrecourse debt). The changes to the ASC as a result of this update are effective prospectively for deconsolidation events occurring during fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012 (January 1, 2013 for the Company). Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, total acquisition expenses incurred by the Company were $1,900,000 which included the acquisition expenses of $1,453,000 related to the five successful acquisitions and $447,000 of expenses primarily related to acquisitions that did not materialize.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company redeemed $1,500,000 of preferred equity that was issued to the sellers of Summit Point Shopping Center, a property that was acquired in December 2011. The amount paid to redeem the preferred equity was accounted for as an additional payment for real estate acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Total amount paid including the unpaid accrued preferred return was approximately $1,530,000.

Operating Leases

The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of March 31, 2012, the leases at the Company’s properties have remaining terms (excluding options to extend) of up to 15 years with a weighted-average remaining term (excluding options to extend) of eight 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 $481,000 and $371,000 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

As of March 31, 2012, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under non-cancelable operating leases was as follows:

   $ 12,856,000

$33,200,000 pursuant to a loan agreement by and between TNP SRT Portfolio and KeyBank and a Promissory Note by TNP SRT Portfolio in favor of KeyBank. The proceeds were used to refinance the portions of the Credit Agreement secured by Pinehurst Square, Northgate Plaza, Moreno Marketplace, and Topaz Marketplace. The loan is due and payable in full on February 1, 2017 and bears an annual interest rate of 5.93%.

Under the credit agreement in place as of March 31, 2012, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants as of March 31, 2012. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, KeyBank agreed to modify certain of the financial covenants under the credit agreement, effective for the period ended March 31, 2012. Subject to this modification, the Company believes it was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility as of March 31, 2012.

The Credit Agreement, KeyBank term loan and certain mortgage loans contain customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including, but not limited to, requirements for minimum net worth, debt service coverage and leverage.

8. 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:

   $ 112,639,000       $ 112,395,000   

 

(1) The carrying value of the Company’s notes payable represents outstanding principal as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
(2) The estimated fair value of the notes payable is based upon indicative market prices of the Company’s notes payable based on prevailing market interest rates.

In March 2011, June 2011 and September 2011, the Company entered into three interest rate cap agreements with KeyBank in the notional amounts of $16.0 million, $10.0 million and $4.0 million and interest rate caps of 7%, effective on April 4, 2011, June 15, 2011, and September 30, 2011, respectively. None of these interest rate cap agreements was designated as a hedge and the $16.0 million and $10.0 million agreements have termination dates of April 4, 2012 and the $4.0 million agreement has a termination date of October 18, 2012. The fair value of the interest rate cap agreements as of March 31, 2012 is de minimus.

9. 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, the Company sold 22,222 shares of common stock to Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. As of March 31, 2012, 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 common stock. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had sold 7,921,143 and 6,007,007 shares of common stock, net of share redemptions, in the Offering, for gross proceeds of approximately $78,310,000 and $59,248,000, 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.

Common Units

On May 26, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Pinehurst Square East, a retail property located in Bismark, North Dakota, the OP issued 287,472 Common Units to certain of the sellers of Pinehurst Square East who elected to receive Common Units for an aggregate value of approximately $2,587,249, or $9.00 per Common Unit. On March 12, 2012, in connection with the acquisition of Turkey Creek, a retail property located in Knoxville, Tennessee, the OP issued 144,324 Common Units to certain of the sellers of Turkey Creek who elected to receive Common Units for an aggregate value of approximately $1,371,079, or $9.50 per Common Unit.

Preferred Stock

The Charter authorizes the Company to issue 50,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

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 three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company redeemed 17,649 (including 549 shares issued under the DRIP program) and zero shares of common shares 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.

(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.
(3) None of the Common Unit holders of the OP are participating in the Company’s distribution reinvestment program.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company has adopted the DRIP which allows common stockholders to purchase additional shares of the Company’s 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 three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, $406,000 and $142,000 in distributions were reinvested and 42,818 and 14,908 shares of common stock were issued under the DRIP, respectively.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common 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 common stockholders in the Company’s computation of EPS.

11. INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

The Company adopted an incentive award 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.

Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Independent Directors Compensation Plan, which is a sub-plan of the Incentive Award Plan (the “Directors 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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized compensation expense of $13,000 and $16,000, respectively, related to restricted common stock grants to its independent directors, 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.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there was $53,000 and $66,000, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested shares of restricted common stock. As of March 31, 2012, this expense is expected to be realized over a remaining period of 1.2 years. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of the non-vested shares of restricted common stock was $98,000 and 10,833 shares remain unvested. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there were no restricted stock shares issued and no shares vested.

12. 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.”

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company sold one of the real estate pads, commonly known as the KFC pad, at Morningside Marketplace, a property that was acquired by the Company in January 2012, for approximately $1,200,000. No gain or loss was recognized in connection with the disposition. The Company reclassified the operations related to the KFC pad at Morningside Marketplace as discontinued operations. Additionally, the Company reclassified the operations related to the other two Morningside pads sold in April 2012 as discontinued operations since they represented properties held for sale at March 31, 2012.

The components of income and expense relating to discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are shown below.

13. 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 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. On January 12, 2012, the board of directors approved Amendment No. 3 to the Advisory Agreement to provide for the payment of a financing coordination fee to Advisor in an amount equal to 1.0% of any amount financed or refinanced by the Company or the OP.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, organization and offering costs exceeded 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, thus the amount in excess of the 3.0% limit, or $774,000 and $1,269,000, respectively, has been deferred. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had reimbursed the Advisor approximately $298,000 in excess of the 3.0% limit as a result of certain expenses being reclassified as organization and offering expense. The reimbursement with respect to the December 31, 2011 excess amount was subsequently approved by the Company’s board of directors. As of March 31, 2012, $296,000 of such amount remained in excess of the 3.0% limit. All organization costs of the Company 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 March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred sales commissions of $1,196,000 and $306,000, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred dealer manager fees of $534,000 and $115,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, the Company incurred $5,028,000 of sales commissions and $2,198,000 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 (as defined in the Charter), or (2) 25% of its net income (as defined in the Charter) 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% guideline”). Notwithstanding the above, the Company may reimburse Advisor for expenses in excess of the 2%/25% guideline 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 March 31, 2012, the Company’s total operating expenses (as defined in the Charter) did not exceed the 2%/25% guideline.

The Company reimburses Advisor for the cost of administrative services, including personnel costs and its allocable share of other overhead of 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 March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred and paid $182,000 and $101,000, respectively of administrative services to Advisor.

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 is responsible for supervising and compensating those property managers. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $250,000 and $81,000, respectively, in property management fees to TNP Manager. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, property management fees of $31,000 and $15,000, 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. 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 had not been earned pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, will not be paid to Advisor. Because the payment of asset management fees was determined to be remote, the Company reversed asset management fees that had been accrued, but which had 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 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 months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred $24,000 of disposition fees payable to Advisor related to the disposition of the KFC pad at Morningside Marketplace. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company did not incur any disposition fees payable to Advisor. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the amount payable to Advisor was $24,000 and $0, respectively.

Leasing Commission Fee

On June 9, 2011, pursuant to Section 11 of the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor, the Company’s board of directors approved the payment of fees to the Advisor for services it provides in connection with leasing the Company’s properties. The amount of such leasing fees will be usual and customary for comparable services rendered for similar real properties in the geographic market of the properties leased. The leasing fees will be in addition to the market-based fees for property management services payable by the Company to TNP Manager, an affiliate of the Advisor. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred and paid approximately $5,000 and $0 of lease commissions to Advisor or its affiliates, respectively.

Financing Coordination Fee

On January 12, 2012, the board of directors approved Amendment No. 3 to the Advisory Agreement to provide for the payment of a financing coordination fee to Advisor in an amount equal to 1.0% of any amount financed or refinanced by the Company or the OP. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred and paid $361,000 of financing coordination fees to Advisor or its affiliates.

Guaranty Fees

In connection with certain acquisition financings, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and/or the Sponsor had executed certain guaranty agreements to the respective lenders. As consideration for such guaranty, the Company entered into a reimbursement and fee agreement to provide for an upfront payment and an annual guaranty fee payment for the duration of the guarantee period. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred approximately $13,000 and $10,000, respectively, of guaranty fees. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, guaranty fees of approximately $62,000 and $50,000, respectively, were included in amounts due to affiliates. At March 31, 2012, the Company’s outstanding guaranty agreements relate to the guarantee on the financing on Waianae Mall, Constitution Trail and Osceola Village.

Related Party Loans

In connection with the acquisition of Morningside Marketplace in January 2012, the Company financed the payment of a portion of the purchase price for Morningside Marketplace with the proceeds of (1) a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $235,000 from the Sponsor, (2) a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 from Mr. James Wolford, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and (3) a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $920,000 from Mrs. Sharon Thompson, the spouse of Mr. Anthony W. Thompson, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President (collectively, the “Morningside Affiliate Loans”). The Morningside Affiliate Loans each accrued interest at a rate of 12% per annum and were due on April 8, 2012. All Morningside Affiliate Loans including unpaid accrued interest were paid in full as of March 31, 2012.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Osceola Village Contingencies

In connection with the acquisition financing on Osceola Village, the Company, through its subsidiary, granted its lender a profit participation in the property equal to 25% of the net profits received by the Company upon the sale of the property (the “Profit Participation Payment”). Net profits is calculated as (1) the gross proceeds received by the Company upon a sale of the property in an arms-length transaction at market rates to third parties less (2) the sum of: (a) principal repaid to the lender out of such sales proceeds at the time of such sale; (b) all bona fide closing costs and similar expenses provided that all such closing costs and similar expenses are paid to third parties, unaffiliated with the Company, including, without limitation, reasonable brokerage fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees paid to third parties, unaffiliated with the Company and incurred by the Company in connection with the sale; and (c) a stipulated amount of $3,200,000.00. If for any reason consummation of such sale has not occurred on or before the scheduled maturity date or any earlier foreclosure of the underlying mortgage loan secured by the property, the Company shall be deemed to have sold the property as of the business day immediately preceding the mortgage loan maturity date or the filing date of the foreclosure action, whichever is applicable, for an amount equal to a stipulated sales price and shall pay the lender the Profit Participation Payment. In the event the underlying mortgage loan is prepaid, the Company shall also be required to immediately pay the Profit Participation Payment based upon a deemed sale of the property for a stipulated sales price. The Company’s liability associated with the Profit Participation Payment was $34,000 and $0 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Additionally, in connection with the acquisition financing on Osceola Village, the Company entered into a Master Lease Agreement (the “Master Lease”) with TNP SRT Osceola Village Master Lessee, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the OP (the “Master Lessee”). Pursuant to the Master Lease, TNP SRT Osceola Village leased to Master Lessee the approximately 23,000 square foot portion of Osceola Village which was not leased to third-party tenants as of the closing date (the “Premises”). The Master Lease provides that the Master Lessee will pay TNP SRT Osceola Village a monthly rent in an amount equal to $36,425, provided that such monthly amount will be reduced proportionally for each square foot of space at the premises subsequently leased to third-party tenants pursuant to leases which are reasonably

acceptable to the lender and which satisfy certain criteria set forth in the Master Lease (“Approved Leases”). The Master Lease has a seven-year term, subject to earlier expiration upon the earlier to occur of (1) the date on which all available rentable space at the Premises is leased to third-party tenants pursuant to Approved Leases and (2) the date on which the mortgage loan is repaid in full in cash (other than as a result of a credit bid by the lender at a foreclosure sale). The Master Lessee has no right to assign or pledge the Master Lease or to sublet any part of the premises without the prior written consent of TNP SRT Osceola Village and the lender.

Constitution Trail Contingency

In connection with the Constitution Trail financing, TNP SRT Constitution Trail, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the OP (“TNP SRT Constitution Trail”), TNP SRT Constitution Trail Master Lessee, LLC (the “Starplex Master Lessee”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the OP, and the Sponsor, entered into a Master Lease Agreement with respect to a portion of Constitution Trail (the “Starplex Master Lease”). Pursuant to the Starplex Master Lease, TNP SRT Constitution Trail leased to the Starplex Master Lessee an approximately 7.78 acre parcel of land included in the Constitution Trail Property, and the approximately 44,064 square foot Starplex Cinemas building located thereon (the “Starplex Premises”). The Starplex Master Lease provides that, in the event that the annual gross sales from the Starplex premises are less than $2,800,000, then thereafter the Starplex Master Lessee will pay TNP SRT Constitution Trail a monthly rent in an amount equal to $62,424 ($749,088 annually), subject to an offset based on any minimum annual rent for the Starplex premises received by TNP SRT Constitution Trail. The Starplex Master Lease will expire upon the earlier to occur of (1) December 31, 2018 and (2) the date on which the Constitution Trail mortgage loan is repaid in full in cash (other than as a result of a credit bid by the lender at a foreclosure sale or refinancing of the Constitution Trail Loan). The Starplex Master Lessee has no right to assign or pledge the Starplex Master Lease or to sublet any part of the Starplex premises without the prior written consent of TNP SRT Constitution Trail and the lender of the mortgage loan.

Economic Dependency

The Company is dependent on Advisor and Dealer Manager and its affiliates for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the sale of the Company’s shares of common and preferred stock available for issue; the 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. 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.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, the notes thereto and the other unaudited financial data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 30, 2012, which we refer to herein as our “Form 10-K.” As used herein, the terms “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc. and, as required by context, TNP Strategic Retail Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as our “operating partnership,” and to their subsidiaries. References to “shares” and “our common stock” refer to the shares of our common stock.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning investment objectives, other plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto) are forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees. Actual events or our investments and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs, which involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

 

   

We have a limited operating history, which makes our future performance difficult to predict.

 

   

We are dependent on TNP Strategic Retail Advisor, LLC, our advisor, to manage our operations. We are also dependent on our dealer manager, which is also an affiliate of our sponsor, to conduct our public offering. Our advisor and dealer manager depend on the capital from Thompson National Properties, LLC, our sponsor, and fees and other compensation that they receive from us in connection with our public offering and the purchase, management and sale of assets to conduct their operations. Our sponsor has a limited operating history and, since inception, has operated at a significant net loss. Our sponsor also has substantial secured and unsecured debt obligations coming due over the next four years. To the extent that our sponsor is unable to negotiate a modification to its debt obligations or our sponsor’s financial condition does not improve or deteriorates, it may adversely impact our advisor’s and our dealer manager’s ability to perform their duties to us or could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise proceeds in our public offering and our operations and could cause the value of your investment to decrease. Moreover, such adverse conditions could require a substantial amount of time on the part of our advisor and its affiliates, thereby decreasing the amount of time they spend actively managing our investments. Any adverse changes in the financial condition of our advisor dealer manager, or our sponsor or our relationship with them could hinder our advisor’s ability to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of investments and our dealer manager’s ability to raise proceeds in our public offering.

 

   

If we are unable to raise substantial proceeds in our initial public offering, we may not be able to build a portfolio of investments that can sustain our operations and our ability to pay distributions would be adversely affected.

 

   

All of our executive officers, some of our directors and other key real estate professionals are also officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, the entity that acts as our dealer manager and other affiliated entities. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other programs managed by affiliates of our advisor and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors.

 

   

Fees paid to our advisor in connection with transactions involving the origination, acquisition, refinancing and management of our investments are based on the cost of the investment, not on the quality of the investment or services rendered to us. This arrangement could influence our advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us.

 

   

Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other programs managed by affiliates of our advisor, our advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties and other investments and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, meaning that we could invest in less attractive assets, which could reduce the investment return to our stockholders.

 

30


Table of Contents
   

We pay substantial fees to and expenses of our advisor and its affiliates and, in connection with our public offering, we pay substantial fees to our dealer-manager, which is an affiliate of our advisor, and third-party broker-dealers participating in our continuous public offering. These payments increase the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us and increase the risk of loss to our stockholders.

 

   

100% of our distributions to date have been made from proceeds from our public offering and we expect to continue to use proceeds from our public offering to fund our distributions until our cash flow from operations can support our distributions.

 

   

If we are unable to locate investments with attractive yields while we are investing the proceeds of our initial public offering, our distributions and the long-term returns of our investors would be adversely affected.

 

   

We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from our properties could decrease due to increased vacancies at our properties (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases) and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to meet our financial obligations, including debt service and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

 

   

Our current and future investments in real estate and other real estate related investments may be affected by unfavorable real estate market and general economic conditions, which could decrease the value of those assets and reduce the investment return to our stockholders.

 

   

Revenues from properties securing our loan investments could decrease. Such events would make it more difficult for the borrowers under our loan investments to meet their payment obligations to us. It could also make it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

 

   

Continued disruptions in the financial markets, changes in the availability of capital, uncertain economic conditions or changes in the real estate market could adversely affect the value of our investments.

 

   

Certain of our debt obligations have variable interest rates with interest and related payments that vary with the movement of LIBOR or other indices. Increases in the indices could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

 

   

We cannot predict with any certainty how much, if any, of our distribution reinvestment plan proceeds will be available for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the redemption of shares under our share redemption program, the funding of capital expenditures on our real estate investments, or the repayment of debt. If such funds are not available from our distribution reinvestment plan, then we may have to use a greater proportion of our cash flow from operations, offering proceeds or other sources of funds to meet these cash requirements, which would reduce cash available for distributions and could limit our ability to redeem shares under our share redemption program.

 

   

our level of debt and the terms and limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements.

 

   

legislative or regulatory changes (including changes to the laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts, or REITs); and

 

   

changes to generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

Any of the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements included herein could be inaccurate, and undue reliance should not be placed on any such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date this quarterly report is filed with the SEC, and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed herein will increase with the passage of time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.

All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section previously disclosed in our Form 10-K. The inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this quarterly report will be achieved.

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. TNP Securities, LLC, an affiliate of our advisor, serves as our dealer manager for our initial public offering. We refer to TNP Securities, LLC as “TNP Securities” or our “dealer manager.”

On August 7, 2009, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-154975) registering a public offering of up to $1,100,000,000 in shares of our common stock was declared effective under the Securities Act and we commenced our initial public offering. We are offering up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock to the public in our primary offering at $10.00 per share and up to 10,526,316 shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at $9.50 per share.

We are dependent upon proceeds received from the sale of shares of our common stock in our initial public offering and any indebtedness that we may incur in order to conduct our proposed real estate investment activities. We were initially capitalized with $200,000 which was contributed in cash on October 16, 2008, from the sale of 22,222 shares in the aggregate to our sponsor, Thompson National Properties, LLC, or TNP. Our sponsor, or any affiliate of our sponsor, must maintain this investment while it remains our sponsor.

As of March 31, 2012, we had accepted investors’ subscriptions for, and issued, 7,921,143 shares of our common stock, including 154,565 shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in total offering proceeds of approximately $78,310,000, net of redemptions.

On March 16, 2012, our board of directors determined an estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.14 as of December 31, 2011. In determining an estimated value of a share of our common stock, our board of directors relied upon information provided by our advisor, appraisal reports prepared by third parties on certain of our properties and other factors our board of directors deemed relevant. Our board of directors also took into account the estimated value of our other assets and liabilities, including a reasonable estimate of the value of our debt obligations. However, our board of directors did not consider certain other factors, such as a liquidity discount, because they did not believe such factors were appropriate or necessary under the circumstances. The estimated value per share determined by our board of directors does not represent the fair value of our assets less liabilities in accordance with GAAP, and such estimated value per share is not a representation, warranty or guarantee that a stockholder would receive this amount if he sold his shares or we consummated a liquidity event. For additional information on the methodology used by our board of directors to determine our estimated value per share of our common stock, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 21, 2012. See also, “Risk Factors—Our board of directors determined an estimated per share value of $10.14 for our shares of common stock as of December 31, 2011. You should not rely on the estimated value per share as being an accurate measure of the current value of our shares of common stock.” in our Form 10-K.

We have elected to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with the year ended December 31, 2009, and therefore we generally are not subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year after the taxable year in which we initially elect to be taxed as a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which qualification is denied. Failing to qualify as a REIT could materially and adversely affect our net income. As of March 31, 2012, we believe we were in compliance with the REIT requirements.

Market Outlook

Since 2008, concerns about credit risk and access to capital in the U.S. and global financial markets have been significant and widespread. Economies throughout the world have experienced increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence due to a downturn in economic activity. Despite recent improved stock market performance and some positive economic indicators, a lack of significant job creation, low consumer confidence and a growing federal budget deficit weigh against the positive indicators. Amid signs of recovery in the economic and financial markets, concerns remain regarding job growth, wage stagnation, credit restrictions and increased taxation.

Over the past year, fundamental commercial real estate benchmarks, such as occupancy, rental rates and pricing have remained largely stagnant. Improvement in these fundamentals remains contingent upon sustainable economic growth. In

general, borrower defaults may rise, and occupancy and rental rate stabilization will vary by market. Currently, benchmark interest rates, such as LIBOR, remain near historic lows. This has allowed borrowers with floating rate debt to continue to make debt service payments even as the properties securing these loans experience decreased occupancy and lower rental rates. Low short-term rates have allowed these borrowers to meet their debt obligations; however, they would not meet the current underwriting requirements needed to refinance this debt today. As these loans near maturity, borrowers may have to find new sources of funds in order to recapitalize their properties.

Although during the financial crisis and economic downturn, commercial real estate transactions experienced a sharp decline in volume, the recent trends show a rebound in activity as more commercial properties come into the market as loans mature and marginally performing properties default and banks increase their foreclosures. Additionally, new lending is increasing. The commercial mortgage-backed securities market has again become a source of liquidity and debt capital and we have seen additional debt capital provided by lenders such as life insurance companies, local and regional banks and debt funds. The availability of additional capital has improved the volume of transactions in the commercial real estate market.

Properties

As of March 31, 2012, our portfolio included the 16 properties below, which we refer to as “our properties” or “our portfolio,” comprising an aggregate of 1,560,145 square feet of single- and multi tenant, commercial retail space located in 13 states, which we purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $203,736,000.

Revenue

Revenues increased by $3,144,000 to $4,976,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $1,832,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to 11 additional property acquisitions since March 31, 2011. The occupancy rate for our property portfolio was 84% based on 1,560,145 rentable square feet as of March 31, 2012 compared to 82% on 500,733 rentable square feet as of March 31, 2011. We expect rental income to increase in future periods as we acquire additional real estate investments and have full period operations from existing real estate investments.

Operating and maintenance expenses

Operating and maintenance expense increased by $835,000 to $1,667,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $832,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 11 properties since March 31, 2011 and having a full year of operating results for properties acquired in 2010. Included in operating and maintenance expenses are property management fees paid to an affiliate of our advisor of $250,000 and $81,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We expect these expenses to increase in future periods as a result of the acquisition of additional properties.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $213,000 to $631,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $418,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of legal fees, audit fees, restricted stock compensation, directors’ fees, salaries, tax fees, abandoned project costs and administrative expenses reimbursable to our advisor.

Depreciation and amortization expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1,375,000 to $2,100,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $725,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to 11 additional property acquisitions since March 31, 2011. 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 $1,490,000 to $1,900,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $410,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition expenses for the five properties acquired during the first quarter 2012 compared to the one acquisition that was consummated during the first quarter 2011.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased by $2,419,000 to $3,099,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $680,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to the increased debt levels associated with the acquisition of 11 additional properties since March 31, 2011. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 included the amortization and write-off of deferred financing costs of $838,000. The writeoff of approximately $540,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs was as a result of the refinancing of the four properties from our credit agreement onto a new term loan completed during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Our 11 additional real estate property acquisitions were financed with $100.3 million 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 from discontinued operations

Income from discontinued operations increased by $41,000 to $56,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 relates to the operating income of the KPC pad at Morningside Marketplace which was acquired and sold during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 relates to the operating income of the pad at San Jacinto Esplanade which was sold in November 2011.

Net loss

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $4,365,000 compared to a net loss of $1,217,000 for the same period in 2011. The increase in the net loss is attributed to non-recurring acquisition expense related to the five acquisitions completed during the quarter as well as the additional interest expense related to the write-off of loan fees as a result of property refinancing. We expect net loss to decrease in future years as we acquire real estate and real estate-related assets that meet our investment objectives.

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 and interest on our outstanding indebtedness and the payment of distributions to our stockholders. 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 and through debt. We will experience a relative increase in liquidity as additional subscriptions for shares of our common stock are received and a relative decrease in liquidity as offering proceeds are used to acquire and operate our assets.

We are externally managed by our advisor. Our advisor may, but is not required to, establish working capital reserves from offering proceeds out of cash flow generated by our investments or out of proceeds from the sale of our investments. We do not anticipate establishing a general working capital reserve during our initial public offering; however, we may establish capital reserves with respect to particular investments. We also may, but are not required to, establish reserves out of cash flow generated by investments or out of net sale proceeds in non-liquidating sale transactions. Working capital reserves are typically utilized to fund tenant improvements, leasing commissions and major capital expenditures. Our lenders also may require working capital reserves.

To the extent that the working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash generated from operations, through short-term borrowing or borrowings under our revolving credit agreement. In addition, subject to certain limitations, we may incur indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of any real estate asset, refinance the debt thereon, arrange for the leveraging of any previously unfinanced property or reinvest the proceeds of financing or refinancing in additional properties.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

As of March 31, 2012, we owned 16 real estate properties with a net carrying value aggregating $179.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $307,000 to $387,000 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $80,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities consisted primarily of the following:

 

   

Net loss of $4,365,000, adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $2,751,000;

 

   

$2,594,000 from decreases in prepaid and other assets;

 

   

$154,000 from increases in accounts receivable;

 

   

$524,000 from increases in other liabilities;

 

   

$495,000 from decreases in deferred costs;

 

   

$315,000 from decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses;

 

   

$449,000 from decreases in amounts due to affiliates; and

 

   

$702,000 from increases in 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 three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was $49,652,000 compared to $12,809,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase primarily consisted of the acquisition of Morningside Marketplace, Woodland West, Ensenada Square, Turkey Creek and Aurora Commons, for an aggregate purchase price of $48,325,000, excluding closing costs and the payment of $1.5 million to redeem the preferred equity on Summit Point that was acquired in December 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we acquired Craig Promenade and recorded net cash used in investing activities of $12,809,000.

Table of Contents

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 three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities increased by $38,312,000 to $50,143,000, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $11,831,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase primarily consisted of the following:

 

   

Net cash provided by debt financings as a result of proceeds from notes payable of $159,037,000 partially offset by principal payments on notes payable of $123,325,000 and payments of deferred financing costs of $1,287,000;

 

   

$18,956,000 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 $2,289,000;

 

   

$773,000 of cash distributions; and

 

   

$176,000 used to pay share redemptions.

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

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. Over time, we intend to generally fund our cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions from operations. We expect 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 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 March 31, 2012, our advisor or its affiliates have paid $3,080,000 in organization and offering costs on our behalf and we have reimbursed $2,306,000 of those organization and offering costs.

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

On a long-term basis, our principal demand 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 current and future indebtedness. Generally, we intend to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions and acquisition-related expenses from our cash flow from operations, and we intend to meet cash needs for acquisitions from the net proceeds of our ongoing public offering and any follow-on public offering or private placement of equity 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 three months ended March 31, 2012, we funded all cash distributions to our stockholders from the proceeds of our ongoing public offering.

As of March 31, 2012, our credit agreement with KeyBank had an outstanding balance of $34.3 million. Our 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. Under the credit agreement in place as of March 31, 2012, we were not in compliance with certain financial covenants as of March 31, 2012. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, KeyBank agreed to modify certain of the financial covenants under the credit agreement, effective for the period ended March 31, 2012. Subject to this modification, we believe we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility as of March 31, 2012.

(1) Amounts include principal payments under notes payable based on maturity dates of debt obligations outstanding as of March 31, 2012.
(2) Projected interest payments are based on the outstanding principal amounts and interest rates in effect at March 31, 2012 (consisting of the contractual interest rate). We incurred interest expense of $3,099,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012, including amortization and write-off of deferred financing costs totaling $838,000.
(3) Represents obligations for tenant improvements under tenant leases as of March 31, 2012.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, organization and offering costs incurred by our advisor on our behalf were $3,080,000 and $2,329,000, 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 $774,000 and $1,269,000, respectively, has been deferred. As of March 31, 2012, there remained advances to our advisor of approximately $296,000, which were in excess of the 3.0% limit as a result of certain expenses being reclassified as organization and offering expense.

All offering costs, including sales commissions of $1,196,000 and dealer manager fees of $534,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 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.

Interim Financial Information

The financial information as of and for the period ended March 31, 2012 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 months ended March 31, 2012. 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.

Limitation on Total Operating Expenses

We reimburse our advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by our advisor in connection with the services provided to us, except that we will not reimburse our advisor for any amount by which our total operating expenses at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceed the greater of (1) 2% of our average invested assets, as defined in our charter, and (2) 25% of our net income, as defined in our charter, or the 2/25 Limit, unless a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2012, our total operating expenses represented approximately 1.4% of our average invested assets and 90.0% of our net income, as defined in our charter. As a result, during the twelve months ended March 31, 2012, our total operating expenses did not exceed the 2/25 Limit.

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 rates.

REIT Compliance

To qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. We must also meet certain asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. We will monitor the business and transactions that may potentially impact our REIT status. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate 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 our REIT qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders. As of March 31, 2012, we believe we are in compliance with the REIT requirements.

Distributions

To date all of our cash distributions have been paid from proceeds from our public offering of common stock. During our offering stage, we expect to raise capital more quickly than we acquire income-producing assets, and for some period after our offering stage, we may not be able to pay distributions from our cash from operations, in which case distributions may be paid in part from debt financing or from other sources. Distributions declared and distributions paid to our common stockholders and non-controlling operating partnership common limited partnership unit holders of Common Units for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, cash amounts distributed to stockholders were funded from proceeds from our initial public offering and represented a 100% return of capital to stockholders.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations, or FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a real estate investment trust, or REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004, or the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property but including asset impairment writedowns, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or as requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. However, FFO, and MFFO as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP FFO and MFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses for all industries as items that are expensed under GAAP, that are typically accounted for as operating expenses. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that public, non-listed REITs, like us, are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after acquisition activity ceases. Our board of directors will determine to pursue a liquidity event when it believes that the then-current market conditions are favorable. However, our board of directors does not anticipate evaluating a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our common stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale of our company or another similar transaction) until 2015. Thus, as a limited life REIT we will not continuously purchase assets and will have a limited life.

Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Investment Program Association, or IPA, an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a public, non-listed REIT having the characteristics described above. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring our properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering has been completed and our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisitions are completed with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. Investors are cautioned that MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; nonrecurring impairments of real estate-related investments (i.e., infrequent or unusual, not reasonably likely to recur in the ordinary course of business); mark-to-market adjustments included in net

income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, nonrecurring unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized. While we rely on our advisor for managing interest rate, hedge and foreign exchange risk, we do not retain an outside consultant to review all our hedging agreements. Inasmuch as interest rate hedges are not a fundamental part of our operations, we believe it is appropriate to exclude such non-recurring gains and losses in calculating MFFO, as such gains and losses are not reflective of on-going operations.

Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition related expenses, amortization of above and below market leases, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments, deferred rent receivables, accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, non-recurring gains or losses included in net income from extinguishment or sale of debt, and the adjustments of such items related to noncontrolling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by us. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. In the event that proceeds from our initial public offering are not available to fund our reimbursement of acquisition fees and expenses incurred by our advisor, such fees and expenses will need to be reimbursed to our advisor from other sources, including debt, operational earnings or cash flow, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or from ancillary cash flows. The acquisition of properties, and the corresponding acquisition fees and expenses, is the key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flow to fund distributions to our stockholders. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities. In addition, we view fair value adjustments of derivatives, impairment charges and gains and losses from dispositions of assets as non-recurring items or items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized, and which are not reflective of on-going operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. In particular, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions which can change over time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indications exist and if the carrying, or book value, exceeds the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows (including net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and any other ancillary cash flows at a property or group level under GAAP) from such asset. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted future cash flows from a property, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows, are taken into account in determining whether an impairment charge has been incurred. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of MFFO as described above, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and given the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges.

Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate MFFO in order to evaluate our performance against other public, non-listed REITs which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that our use of MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate MFFO allow us to present our performance in a manner that reflects certain characteristics that are unique to public, non-listed REITs, such as their limited life, limited and defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and hence that the use of such measures is useful to investors. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance to that of other public, non-listed REITs, although it should be noted that not all public, non-listed REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other public, non-listed REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our

Table of Contents

performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. MFFO has limitations as a performance measure in an offering such as ours where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value and there is no regular net asset value determinations during the offering stage and for a period thereafter. MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining MFFO.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and in response to such standardization we may have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO accordingly.

Our calculation of FFO and MFFO and the reconciliation to net income (loss) is presented in the following table for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

(1) Our calculation of MFFO does not adjust for certain other non-recurring charges that do not fall within the IPA’s Practice Guideline definition of MFFO.
(2) Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.
(3) In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition and certain disposition costs related to abandoned real estate sales, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our advisor or third parties. Acquisition and disposition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition and disposition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by the company, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property. In the event that proceeds from our initial public offering are not available to fund our reimbursement of acquisition fees and expenses incurred by our advisor, such fees and expenses will need to be reimbursed to our advisor from other sources, including debt, operational earnings or cash flow, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or from ancillary cash flows. The acquisition of properties, and the corresponding acquisition fees and expenses, is the key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flow to fund distributions to our stockholders.
(4) Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.
(5) Relates to the writeoff of unamortized deferred financing costs as a result of refinancing and incremental interest due to early extinguishment of debt.
(6) We made an additional adjustment for the non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs as we believe it will provide useful information about the Company’s operations excluding non-cash expenses.
(7) Net loss per share relates to both common stockholders and non-controlling interests.

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 13 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial conditions, changes in financial conditions, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

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 2012.

Subsequent Events

Status of Offering

As of May 4, 2012, we had accepted investors’ subscriptions for, and issued, 9,134,950 shares of common stock, including 172,107 shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $90,730,000.

Distributions Declared

On March 31, 2012, we declared a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $437,000, of which $271,000 was paid in cash on or about April 15, 2012 and $166,000 was paid through our distribution reinvestment plan in the form of additional shares issued on or about April 15, 2012. On April 30, 2012, we declared a monthly distribution in the aggregate of $492,000, of which $304,000 will be paid in cash on or about May 15, 2012 and $188,000 will be paid through our distribution reinvestment plan in the form of additional shares issued on or about May 15, 2012.

Recent Property Dispositions

On April 13, 2012, we sold two real estate parcels at Morningside Marketplace, for an aggregate sale price of $4,098,000, exclusive of closing costs.

Proposed Property Acquisitions

We anticipate closing by May 22, 2012 the acquisition of a fee simple interest in a multitenant retail center located in Florissant, Missouri, commonly known as Florissant Marketplace, for an aggregate purchase price of $15,250,000, exclusive of closing costs. The acquisition will be financed with (1) proceeds from our initial public offering and (2) approximately $14,440,000 in funds borrowed under our revolving credit agreement with KeyBank. The acquisition of Florissant Marketplace is subject to various conditions to closing and there are no assurances that the closing will occur on the anticipated time frame or at all.

Proposed Amendment of Credit Agreement

As of May 15, 2012, we were negotiating and intend to enter into a Tenth Omnibus Amendment and Reaffirmation of the Loan Documents, or the Tenth Omnibus Amendment, relating to the credit agreement with KeyBank. The Tenth Omnibus Amendment would provide for a temporary increase of the maximum aggregate lending commitment of KeyBank under the credit agreement from $35 million to $60 million, the Temporary Increase, through December 1, 2012, and would modify certain financial covenants effective March 31, 2012. Following October 1, 2012, any amounts repaid under the Temporary Increase may not be reborrowed. Following December 1, 2012, any amounts outstanding under the credit agreement in excess of $45 million would become due and payable in full without notice or demand. In connection with the Temporary Increase, we would pay KeyBank a $62,500 fee. There is no assurance that we will enter into this amendment on these terms or at all.

 

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

 

44


Table of Contents

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, June 2011, and September 2011, we entered into three interest rate cap agreements with KeyBank in the notional amounts of $16.0 million, $10.0 million, and $4.0 million, respectively, each with interest rate caps with a strike price of LIBOR at 7%, effective on April 4, 2011, June 15, 2011, and September 30, 2011, respectively. None of the interest rate cap agreement was 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 3.25%, 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 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 March 31, 2012, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $113.8 million and the carrying value of our fixed rate debt was $114.0 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 March 31, 2012. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.

Conversely, movements in interest rates on 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 March 31, 2012, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $34.3 million of variable rate debt outstanding, after giving consideration to the impact of a cap rate agreement on approximately $30.0 million of our variable rate debt. Based on interest rates as of March 31, 2012, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher during the 12 months ending March 31, 2013, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase by $343,000 and if interest rates were 100 basis points lower during the 12 months ending March 31, 2013, interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease by $343,000.

The weighted-average interest rates of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt at March 31, 2012 were 5.5% and 6.4%, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect at March 31, 2012.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

None.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our sponsor has operated at a significant loss since inception and because we are dependent upon our advisor and its affiliates, including our sponsor, to conduct our operations, any adverse changes in the financial health of our advisor or its affiliates or our relationship with them could hinder our operating performance and the return on our stockholders’ investment.

We are dependent on TNP Strategic Retail Advisor, LLC, our advisor, to manage our operations and our portfolio of real estate and real estate-related assets. We are also dependent on TNP Securities, LLC, our dealer manager and an affiliate of our sponsor, to conduct our public offering. Our dealer manager and our advisor depend on the capital from our sponsor and fees and other compensation that they receive from us in connection with our public offering and the purchase, management and sale of assets to conduct its operations. Our sponsor has a limited operating history and, since inception, has operated at a significant net loss. Our sponsor also has substantial secured and unsecured debt obligations coming due over the next four years. To the extent that our sponsor is unable to negotiate a modification to its debt obligations or our sponsor’s financial condition does not improve or deteriorates, it may adversely impact our advisor’s and our dealer manager’s ability to perform their duties to us or could have an adverse effect on our dealer manager’s ability to raise proceeds in our public offering and our operations and could cause the value of your investment to decrease. Moreover, such adverse conditions could require a substantial amount of time on the part of our advisor and its affiliates, thereby decreasing the amount of time they spend actively managing our investments. Any adverse changes in the financial condition of our dealer manager, advisor or our sponsor or our relationship with them could hinder our advisor’s ability to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of investments and could affect our dealer manager’s ability to raise proceeds in our public offering. If our sponsor and its affiliates, including our advisor, are unable to provide services to us we may spend substantial resources in identifying non-affiliated service providers to provide advisory and dealer manager functions. Additionally, as a recently formed company, our sponsor does not have the financial resources that other, more established, sponsors may have available.

Please also see the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. On March 12, 2012, in connection with the acquisition of Turkey Creek, a retail property located in Knoxville, Tennessee, our operating partnership issued 144,324 common units to certain of the sellers of Turkey Creek who elected to receive common units for an aggregate value of $1,371,079, or $9.50 per common unit.

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 4, 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 March 31, 2012, we had accepted investors’ subscriptions for and issued 7,921,143 shares of common stock in our ongoing initial public offering including 154,565 shares of common stock issued under the distribution reinvestment plan for total offering proceeds of approximately $78,310,000, net of redemptions.

As of March 31, 2012, 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 March 31, 2012, we have used the net proceeds from our ongoing primary public offering and debt financing to invest $203.7 million in 16 multi-tenant and single tenant properties, including $7,807,000 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:
