NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Strategic Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on September 18, 2008, as a Maryland corporation. Effective August 22, 2013, the Company changed its name from TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc. to Strategic Realty Trust, Inc. 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.
Since the Company’s inception, its business has been managed by an external advisor. The Company has no direct employees and all management and administrative personnel responsible for conducting the Company’s business are employed by its advisor. Currently, the Company is externally managed and advised by SRT Advisor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Advisor”) pursuant to an advisory agreement with the Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”) initially executed on August 10, 2013, and subsequently renewed every year. The current term of the Advisory Agreement terminates on August 10, 2018. The Advisor is an affiliate of Glenborough, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Glenborough”), a privately held full-service real estate investment and management company focused on the acquisition, management and leasing of commercial properties.
Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through Strategic Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”). During the Company’s initial public offering (“Offering”), as the Company accepted subscriptions for shares of its common stock, it transferred substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering to the OP as a capital contribution. The Company is the sole general partner of the OP. As of both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company owned 96.3% of the limited partnership interests in the OP.
The Company’s principal demand for funds has been for the acquisition of real estate assets, the payment of operating expenses, interest on outstanding indebtedness, the payment of distributions to stockholders, and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as well as development of properties. Substantially all of the proceeds of the completed Offering have been used to fund investments in real properties and other real estate-related assets, for payment of operating expenses, for payment of interest, for payment of various fees and expenses, such as acquisition fees and management fees, and for payment of distributions to stockholders. The Company’s available capital resources, cash and cash equivalents on hand and sources of liquidity are currently limited. The Company expects its future cash needs will be funded using cash from operations, future asset sales, debt financing and the proceeds to the Company from any sale of equity that it may conduct in the future.
The Company invests in and manages a portfolio of income-producing retail properties, located in the United States, real estate-owning entities and real estate-related assets, including the investment in or origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans related to commercial real estate. The Company has invested directly, and indirectly through joint ventures, in a portfolio of income-producing retail properties located throughout the United States, with a focus on grocery anchored multi-tenant retail centers, including neighborhood, community and lifestyle shopping centers, multi-tenant shopping centers and free standing single-tenant retail properties. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company invested, through joint ventures, in two significant retail projects under development.
As of June 30, 2017, in addition to the development projects, the Company’s portfolio of properties was comprised of 12 properties, with approximately 425,000 rentable square feet of retail space located in five states. As of June 30, 2017, the rentable space at the Company’s retail properties was 96% leased.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the OP, their direct and indirect owned subsidiaries, and the accounts of joint ventures that are determined to be variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included.

STRATEGIC REALTY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
The Company evaluates the need to consolidate joint ventures and variable interest entities based on standards set forth in ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company held ownership interests in two unconsolidated joint ventures. Refer to Note 4, “Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” for additional information. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company held variable interests in two variable interest entities and consolidated those entities. Refer to Note 5, “Variable Interest Entities” for additional information.
Investments in Real Estate
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”) that clarifies the framework for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities meets the definition of a business. The revised framework establishes a screen for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities is a business and narrows the definition of a business, which is expected to result in fewer transactions being accounted for as business combinations. Acquisitions of integrated sets of assets and activities that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions.
The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-01 for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2017. As a result of adopting ASU 2017-01, the Company’s acquisitions of properties beginning January 1, 2017, were evaluated under the new guidance. The acquisitions occurring during 2017 were determined to be asset acquisitions, as they did not meet the revised definition of a business.
Evaluation of business combination or asset acquisition:
The Company evaluates each acquisition of real estate to determine if the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meet the definition of a business and need to be accounted for as a business combination. If either of the following criteria is met, the integrated set of assets and activities acquired would not qualify as a business:
• Substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; or
• The integrated set of assets and activities is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e. revenue generated before and after the transaction).
An acquired process is considered substantive if:
• The process includes an organized workforce (or includes an acquired contract that provides access to an organized workforce), that is skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced in performing the process;
• The process cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay; or
• The process is considered unique or scarce.
Generally, the Company expects that acquisitions of real estate will not meet the revised definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e. land, buildings, and related intangible assets), or because the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay.
In asset acquisitions, the purchase consideration, including acquisition costs, is allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. As a result, asset acquisitions do not result in the recognition of goodwill or a bargain purchase gain.
Depreciation and amortization is computed using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Years | |
Buildings and improvements | 5 - 30 years |
Tenant improvements | 1 - 36 years |
Tenant improvement costs recorded as capital assets are depreciated over the tenant’s remaining lease term, which the Company has determined approximates the useful life of the improvement. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements that improve or extend the useful lives of
9
STRATEGIC REALTY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
assets are capitalized. Acquisition costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
For acquisitions of real estate prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-01, which were generally accounted for as business combinations, the Company recognized the assets acquired (including the intangible value of acquired above- or below-market leases, acquired in-place leases and other intangible assets or liabilities) at fair value as of the acquisition date. Acquisition costs related to the business combinations were expensed as incurred.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period’s presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB issued the following ASUs which could have potential impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements:
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which amends (Topic 230), Statement of Cash Flows (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the reporting period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. ASU 2016-18 will require adoption using a retrospective transition method. The adoption will not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810), Interests Held through related Parties That Are under Common Control (“ASU 2016-17”). ASU 2016-17 changes how a reporting entity that is a single decision maker of a variable interest entity should treat indirect interest in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that variable interest entity. ASU 2016-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. ASU 2016-17 will require adoption using the retrospective transition method beginning with the fiscal year in which the amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 were initially applied. The Company adopted ASU 2016-17 beginning January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-17 had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. ASU 2016-15 will require adoption on a retrospective basis. The application of ASU 2016-15 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset, measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Adjustments resulting from adopting ASU 2016-13 shall be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 will not have an effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The guidance retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous guidance. However, the principal difference from previous guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases should be recognized in the statement of financial position. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under the previous guidance. The amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted. Lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. The Company believes that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will not change the accounting for operating leases on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects that certain non-lease components will need to be accounted for separately from the lease components, with the lease components continuing to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and certain non-lease components being accounted for under the

new revenue recognition guidance in ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) discussed below.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which effectively defers the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Companies may apply either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this guidance. In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, ASU No. 2016-09 and ASU No. 2016-12, which provide interpretive clarifications on the new guidance in Topic 606. The Company’s revenues are primarily generated through leasing arrangements. As such, management believes the Company’s revenue from leasing arrangements falls out of the scope of this standard and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have a significant impact on its financial statements. The Company believes, that its revenue stream from non-lease components, which is comprised of common area maintenance reimbursements, may be impacted by the adoption of ASU 2014-09.
3. REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
Acquisition of Properties
On January 4, 2017, the Company purchased certain property located in the Hayes Valley neighborhood at 388 Fulton Street in San Francisco, California (“388 Fulton”). The seller was not affiliated with the Company or the Advisor. 388 Fulton is comprised of two leased commercial condominiums with an aggregate of 3,110 square feet of retail space. The aggregate purchase price of 388 Fulton was approximately $4.2 million, subject to customary closing costs and proration adjustments. The Company drew down $4.0 million on its line of credit to fund this acquisition.
On January 11, 2017, the Company purchased certain property located in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, California (“Silver Lake”). The seller was not affiliated with the Company or the Advisor. Silver Lake is comprised of two boutique retail buildings totaling approximately 10,497 square feet of retail space. The aggregate purchase price of Silver Lake was approximately $13.3 million subject to customary closing costs and proration adjustments. The Company drew down $11.0 million on its line of credit to fund this acquisition.
The Company evaluated the above transactions under the new framework pursuant to ASU 2017-01, which the Company early-adopted effective January 1, 2017. Acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. Refer to Note 2. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for further details. Accordingly, the Company accounted for the purchases of Silver Lake and 388 Fulton as asset acquisitions and allocated the total cash consideration to the individual assets and liabilities acquired on a relative fair value basis.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred $27 thousand and $0.3 million, respectively, of acquisition-related costs. These costs were capitalized and allocated to land and buildings acquired on a relative fair value basis.
2017 Sale of Properties
On April 17, 2017, the Company consummated the disposition of Woodland West Marketplace, located in Arlington, Texas, for a sales price of approximately $14.6 million in cash. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of Woodland West Marketplace to repay $13.7 million of the outstanding balance on its line of credit. The sale of the property did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and its results of operations were not reported as discontinued operations on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The disposition of Woodland West Marketplace resulted in a gain of $2.5 million, which was included on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.
On January 6, 2017, the Company consummated the disposition of Pinehurst Square East, located in Bismarck, North Dakota, for a sales price of approximately $19.2 million in cash. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of Pinehurst Square East to repay $18.4 million of the outstanding balance on its line of credit. The sale of the property did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and its results of operations were not reported as discontinued operations on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The disposition of Pinehurst Square East resulted in a gain of $6.1 million, which was included on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company has variable interests in, and is the primary beneficiary of, variable interest entities (“VIEs”) through its investments in (i) the Gelson’s Joint Venture and (ii) the 3032 Wilshire Joint Venture (both as defined below). The Company has consolidated the accounts of these variable interest entities.
Gelson’s Joint Venture
On January 7, 2016, the Company, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Sunset & Gardner Investors, LLC (the “Gelson’s Joint Venture Agreement”) to form a joint venture (the” Gelson’s Joint Venture”) with Sunset & Gardner LA, LLC (“S&G LA” and, together with the Company, the “Gelson’s Members”), a subsidiary of Cadence Capital Investments, LLC (“Cadence”).
The Gelson’s Joint Venture Agreement provides for the ownership and operation of certain real property by the Gelson’s Joint Venture, in which the Company owns a 100% capital interest and a 50% profits interest. In exchange for ownership in the Gelson’s Joint Venture, the Company contributed cash in an amount up to $7.0 million in initial capital contributions and has agreed to contribute $0.7 million in subsequent capital contributions to the Gelson’s Joint Venture. In May 2016, the Company made an additional capital contribution of $0.2 million to the Gelson’s Joint Venture. In January 2017, the Company made another capital contribution of $0.8 million to the Gelson’s Joint Venture. S&G LA contributed its rights to acquire the real property, its interest under a 20 year lease with Gelson’s Markets (the “Gelson’s Lease”) and agreed to provide certain management and development services.
On January 28, 2016, the Gelson’s Joint Venture used the capital contributions of the Company, together with the proceeds of a loan in the amount of $10.7 million, to purchase property located at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Gardner in Hollywood, California for a build-to-suit grocery store for Gelson’s Markets (the “Gelson’s Property”) from a third party seller, for a total purchase price of approximately $13.0 million. The Gelson’s Joint Venture intends to proceed with obtaining all required governmental approvals and entitlements to replace the existing improvements on the property with a build-to-suit grocery store for Gelson’s Markets with an expected size of approximately 38,000 square feet. Gelson’s Markets was founded in 1951 and is recognized as one of the nation’s premier supermarket chains. Gelson’s Markets currently has 24 locations throughout Southern California.
Pursuant to the Gelson’s Joint Venture Agreement, S&G LA manages and conducts the day-to-day operations and affairs of the Gelson’s Joint Venture, subject to certain major decisions set forth in the Gelson’s Joint Venture Agreement that require the consent of all the Gelson’s Members. Income, losses and distributions are generally allocated based on the Gelson’s Members’ respective capital and profits interests. Additionally, in certain circumstances described in the Gelson’s Joint Venture Agreement, the Company may be required to make additional capital contributions to the Joint Venture, in proportion to the Gelson’s Members’ respective ownership interests. Until the Company has received back its capital contribution and specified preferred returns, all distributions go to the Company; thereafter, the Gelson’s Joint Venture will distribute the profits 50% to the Company and 50% to S&G LA.
3032 Wilshire Joint Venture
On December 21, 2015, the Company, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into the Limited Liability Company Agreement of 3032 Wilshire Investors, LLC (the “Wilshire Joint Venture Agreement”) to form a joint venture (the “Wilshire Joint Venture”) with 3032 Wilshire SM, LLC, a subsidiary of Cadence (together with the Company, the “Wilshire Members”).
On December 14, 2015 and January 5, 2016, the Company paid deposits in the amounts of $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, toward the acquisition of certain property located at 3032 Wilshire Boulevard and 1210 Berkeley Street in Santa Monica, California (the “Wilshire Property”). The Wilshire Joint Venture is in the process of redeveloping and repositioning, and intends to re-lease the Wilshire Property. On March 7, 2016, the Company contributed $5.7 million to the Wilshire Joint Venture. In May 2016, the Company made an additional capital contribution of $0.3 million to the Wilshire Joint Venture. In January 2017 and February 2017, the Company made two additional contributions of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to the Wilshire Joint Venture. The Wilshire Joint Venture Agreement provides for the ownership and operation of certain real property by the Wilshire Joint Venture, in which the Company owns a 100% capital interest and a 50% profits interest.
On March 8, 2016, the Wilshire Joint Venture used the deposits and capital contribution of the Company, together with the proceeds of a loan in the amount of $8.5 million, to acquire the Wilshire Property from a third-party seller, for a total purchase price of $13.5 million. The Wilshire Joint Venture is repositioning, and intends to re-lease the existing improvements on the property.

Pursuant to the Wilshire Joint Venture Agreement, 3032 Wilshire SM manages and conducts the day-to-day operations and affairs of the Wilshire Joint Venture, subject to certain major decisions set forth in the Wilshire Joint Venture Agreement that require the consent of all the Wilshire Members.

The notes payable of the consolidated joint ventures are not guaranteed by the Company. |
6. FUTURE MINIMUM RENTAL INCOME
Operating Leases
The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of June 30, 2017, the leases at the Company’s properties have remaining terms (excluding options to extend) of up to 19 years with a weighted-average remaining term (excluding options to extend) of approximately 5 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 balance sheets and totaled approximately $0.3 million as of June 30, 2017 and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2016.

Mortgage Loans Secured by Properties Under Development
In connection with the Company’s investment in the Wilshire Joint Venture and the acquisition of the Wilshire Property, the Company has consolidated borrowings of $8.5 million (the “Wilshire Loan”). The Wilshire Loan bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum, payable monthly, commencing on April 1, 2016. The loan was scheduled to mature on March 7, 2017, with an option for two additional six-month periods, subject to certain conditions as stated in the loan agreement. All conditions to extensions were met, and on March 7, 2017, the Company exercised the option to extend the loan for six months. The new maturity date is September 7, 2017. The Company plans to exercise the remaining option to extend the loan for an additional six months. The loan is secured by, among other things, a lien on the Wilshire development project and other collateral as defined in the loan agreement.
In connection with the Company’s investment in the Gelson’s Joint Venture and the acquisition of the Gelson’s Property, the Company has consolidated borrowings of $10.7 million (the “Gelson’s Loan”). The Gelson’s Loan bears interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum, payable monthly, commencing on April 1, 2016. The loan was scheduled to mature on January 27, 2017, with an option to extend for an additional six-month period, subject to certain conditions as stated in the loan agreement. Those conditions were not met, but the Company negotiated a six month extension of the term on January 27, 2017. The new maturity date is July 27, 2017. The Company negotiated a nine month extension of the term on July 27, 2017. The new maturity date is April 27, 2018. The loan is secured by, among other things, a lien on the Gelson’s development project and other joint venture collateral as defined in the loan agreement.
9. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines fair value using the following hierarchy:
• | 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 for inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement. |
The Company believes the total carrying values reflected on its condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and amounts due to affiliates reasonably approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated using a present value technique based on contractual cash flows and management’s observations of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. The Company significantly reduces the amount of judgment and subjectivity in its fair value determination through the use of cash flow inputs that are based on contractual

obligations. Discount rates are determined by observing interest rates published by independent market participants for comparable instruments. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 2 inputs.
The following table provides the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s notes payable as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands):
Carrying Value (1) | Fair Value (1) (2) | ||||||||||||||

(1) | The carrying value of the Company’s notes payable represents the outstanding principal as of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016. The carrying values and fair values of the notes payable include the reclassification of deferred financing costs, net, of approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as a contra-liability, as of both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. |
(2) | The estimated fair value of the notes payable is based upon the indicative market prices of the Company’s notes payable based on prevailing market interest rates. |
As part of the Company’s ongoing evaluation of the Company’s real estate portfolio, the Company estimates the fair value of its investments in real estate by obtaining outside independent appraisals on all of the properties. The appraised values are compared with the carrying values of its real estate portfolio to determine if there are indications of impairment.
For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not record any impairment losses.

Share Redemption Program
On April 1, 2015, the Company’s board of directors approved the reinstatement of the share redemption program (which had been suspended since January 15, 2013) and adopted an Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “SRP”). The SRP was subsequently amended on August 7, 2015 and August 10, 2016.
On October 5, 2016, the board of directors approved, pursuant to Section 3(a) of the SRP, an additional $0.5 million of funds available for the redemption of shares in connection with the death of a stockholder.
The following table summarizes share redemption activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (amounts in thousands, except shares):

Cumulatively, through June 30, 2017, the Company has redeemed 544,888 shares sold in the Offering and/or its dividend reinvestment plan for $4.1 million.
Quarterly 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. Some or all of the Company’s distributions have been paid, and in the future may continue to be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations.
Under the terms of the amended Key Bank credit facility, the Company may pay distributions to its investors so long as the total amount paid does not exceed 100% of the cumulative Adjusted Funds From Operations plus up to an additional $2.0 million of the Company’s net proceeds from property dispositions, as defined in the amended Company’s line of credit; provided, however, that the Company is not restricted from making any distributions necessary in order to maintain its status as a REIT. The Company’s board of directors evaluates the Company’s ability to make quarterly distributions based on the Company’s operational cash needs.

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
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 shares of non-vested restricted stock are considered participating securities as dividend payments are not forfeited even if the underlying award does not vest. There was no unvested stock as of June 30, 2017. 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.
The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (amounts in thousands, except shares and per share amounts):

There were no Advisor related party costs payable by the Company as of June 30, 2017.
Acquisition Fees
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive an acquisition fee equal to 1% of (1) the cost of each investment acquired directly by the Company or (2) the Company’s allocable cost of an investment acquired pursuant to a joint venture, in each case including purchase price, acquisition expenses and any debt attributable to such investments. An acquisition fee is capitalized by the Company when the related transaction does not qualify as a business combination; otherwise an acquisition fee is expensed.
Origination Fees
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive an origination fee equal to 1% of the amount funded by the Company to acquire or originate real estate-related loans, including any acquisition expenses related to such investment and any debt used to fund the acquisition or origination of the real estate-related loans. The Company will not pay an origination fee to the Advisor with respect to any transaction pursuant to which it is required to pay the Advisor an acquisition fee.
Financing Coordination Fees
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive a financing coordination fee equal to 1% of the amount made available and/or outstanding under any (1) financing obtained or assumed, directly or indirectly, by the Company or the

(unaudited)
OP and used to acquire or originate investments, or (2) the refinancing of any financing obtained or assumed, directly or indirectly, by the Company or the OP.
Asset Management Fees
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive an asset management fee equal to a monthly fee of one-twelfth (1/12th) of 0.6% of the higher of (1) aggregate cost on a GAAP basis (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all investments the Company owns, including any debt attributable to such investments, or (2) the fair market value of the Company’s investments (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) if the board of directors has authorized the estimate of a fair market value of the Company’s investments; provided, however, that the asset management fee will not be less than $250,000 in the aggregate during any one calendar year.
Reimbursement of Operating Expenses
The Company reimburses the Advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which the Company’s total operating expenses (including the asset management fee described below) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeded the greater of (1) 2% of its average invested assets (as defined in the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement (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”). The Advisor is required to reimburse the Company quarterly for any amounts by which total operating expenses exceed the 2%/25% Guideline in the previous expense year that the independent directors do not approve. The Company will not reimburse the Advisor for any of its personnel costs or other overhead costs except for customary reimbursements for personnel costs under property management agreements entered into between the OP and the Advisor or its affiliates. Notwithstanding the above, the Company may reimburse the Advisor for expenses in excess of the 2%/25% Guideline if a majority of the independent directors determine that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s total operating expenses (as defined in the Charter) did not exceed the 2%/25% Guideline.

Under the Advisory Agreement, if the Advisor or its affiliates provide a substantial amount of services, as determined by the Company’s independent directors, in connection with the sale of a real property, the Advisor or its affiliates may be paid disposition fees up to 50% of a customary and competitive real estate commission, but not to exceed 3% of the contract sales price of each property sold.
Leasing Fees
Under the property management agreements, Glenborough is entitled to receive a separate fee for the leases of new tenants, and for expansions, extensions and renewals of existing tenants in an amount not to exceed the fee customarily charged by similarly situated parties rendering similar services in the same geographic area for similar properties.
Legal Leasing Fees
Under the property management agreements, Glenborough is entitled to receive a market-based legal leasing fee for the negotiation and production of new leases, renewals, and amendments.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Economic Dependency
The Company is dependent on the Advisor and its affiliates for certain services that are essential to the Company, including 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 the Advisor is unable to provide such services to the Company, 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 condensed consolidated 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.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Distributions

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 interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 24, 2017, which we refer to herein as our “2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.”
As used herein, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” and “Company” refer to Strategic Realty Trust, Inc., formerly TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc., and, as required by context, Strategic Realty Operating Partnership, L.P., formerly TNP Strategic Retail Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as our “operating partnership” or “OP”, and to their respective subsidiaries. References to “shares” and “our common stock” refer to the shares of our common stock.
Special Note Regarding 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 within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). 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. The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
• | Our executive officers and certain 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. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including conflicts created by our advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and conflicts in allocating time among us and other programs and business activities. |
• | We are uncertain of our sources for funding our future capital needs. If we cannot obtain debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, our ability to continue to acquire real properties or other real estate-related assets, fund or expand our operations and pay distributions to our stockholders will 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 a reduction in tenants (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 our properties could decrease. Such events would make it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. |
• | 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 these indices could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. |
23
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any of the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements included herein could be inaccurate, and undue reliance should not be placed upon on any forward-looking statements included herein. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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 made after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the risks described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2016 Annual Report on 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 Form 10-Q will be achieved.

Overview
We are a Maryland corporation that was formed on September 18, 2008, to invest in and manage a portfolio of income-producing retail properties, located in the United States, real estate-owning entities and real estate-related assets, including the investment in or origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans related to commercial real estate. During the first quarter of 2016, we also invested, through joint ventures, in two significant retail projects under development. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2009, and we intend to operate in such a manner. We own substantially all of our assets and conduct our operations through our operating partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. We also own a majority of the outstanding limited partner interests in the operating partnership.
Since our inception, our business has been managed by an external advisor. We do not have direct employees and all management and administrative personnel responsible for conducting our business are employed by our advisor. Currently we are externally managed and advised by SRT Advisor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Advisor”) pursuant to an advisory agreement with the Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”) initially executed on August 10, 2013, and subsequently renewed every year. The current term of the Advisory Agreement terminates on August 10, 2018. The Advisor is an affiliate of Glenborough, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Glenborough”), a privately held full-service real estate investment and management company focused on the acquisition, management and leasing of commercial properties.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Property Portfolio
As of June 30, 2017, our property portfolio included 12 retail properties, which we refer to as “our properties” or “our portfolio,” comprising an aggregate of approximately 425,000 square feet of single- and multi-tenant, commercial retail space located in five states. We purchased our properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $94.8 million. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was approximately $24.1 million and approximately $33.8 million of indebtedness on our properties, respectively. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, approximately 96% and 91% of our portfolio was leased (based on rentable square footage), respectively, with weighted-average remaining lease term of approximately five years.

Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of those expected in future periods.
Revenue
The decrease in revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016, was primarily due to the sales of Bloomingdale Hills in April 2016, Pinehurst Square East in January of 2017 and Woodland West Marketplace in April 2017. The decreases were mostly offset by a full quarter of revenue from acquisitions of 8 Octavia, 400 Grove in June 2016, acquisitions of Fulton Shops in July 2016 and 450 Hayes in December 2016, and 388 Fulton and Silver Lake during the first quarter of 2017.
Operating and maintenance expenses
Operating and maintenance expenses decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016 due to sales of Bloomingdale Hills in April 2016, Pinehurst Square East in January of 2017 and Woodland West Marketplace in April 2017. The decreases were mostly offset by acquisitions of 8 Octavia, 400 Grove in June 2016, acquisitions of Fulton Shops in July 2016 and 450 Hayes in December 2016, and 388 Fulton and Silver Lake during the first quarter of 2017.
27
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to decreased legal fees. A decrease in asset management fees as a result of dispositions of Pinehurst Square East in January 2017 and Woodland West Marketplace in April 2017, partially offset by property acquisitions in 2016 and the first quarter of 2017, also contributed to a decrease in general and administrative expenses.
General and administrative expenses decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to decreased legal fees and tax fees.
Depreciation and amortization expenses
The slight variances in 2017 versus 2016 depreciation and amortization expenses is due to acquisition and disposition activity throughout 2016 and early 2017.
Transaction expense
The decrease in transaction fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016 was primarily due to our adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”) as of January 1, 2017. As part of adopting ASU 2017-01, acquisitions of 388 Fulton and Silver Lake during the first quarter of 2017 were classified as asset acquisitions and the related acquisition costs were capitalized.
Interest expense
Interest expense has decreased in 2017 over 2016 due to changes in debt balances as a result of property acquisitions and dispositions activities and the resulting fluctuations in debt balances from related proceeds and repayments of debt.
Other income (loss), net
Other income, net from the three months ended June 30, 2017, primarily consisted of approximately $2.5 million related to the gain on sale of Woodland West Marketplace in April 2017.
Other income, net from the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily consisted of approximately $9.1 million related to the gain on sales of Pinehurst Square East in January 2017 and Woodland West Marketplace in April 2017, as well as the recognition of deferred gain resulting from the first quarter of 2017 sale by the SGO Retail Acquisitions Venture, LLC (“SGO Joint Venture”) of Aurora Commons.
Income taxes
In addition to various state tax payments, we have incurred federal tax due to our election to treat one of our subsidiaries as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). In general, a TRS may engage in any real estate business and certain non-real estate businesses, subject to certain limitations under the Internal Revenue Code. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, income taxes increased due to the income taxes on our share of the gain from the sale of certain SGO MN Retail Acquisitions Venture, LLC (“SGO MN Joint Venture”) properties, partially offset by the 2016 reversal of an over accrual of estimated alternative minimum state/federal taxes, which was accrued and included in expenses as of December 31, 2015. The over accrual was determined to be immaterial and was the result of finalizing, in 2016, the calculation of taxes owed for 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, our principal demand for funds has been for the acquisition of real estate, the payment of operating expenses and interest on our outstanding indebtedness, the payment of distributions to our stockholders and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and development properties. On February 7, 2013, we ceased offering shares of our common stock in our primary offering and under our distribution reinvestment plan. As a result of the termination of our initial public offering, offering proceeds from the sale of our securities are not currently available to fund our cash needs. We have used and expect to continue to use debt financing, net sales proceeds and cash flow from operations to fund our cash needs.
As of June 30, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $2.9 million and our restricted cash (funds held by the lenders for property taxes, insurance, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, capital expenditures, rollover reserves and other financing needs) was approximately $3.7 million. For properties with lender reserves, we may draw upon such reserves to fund the specific needs for which the funds were established.
Our aggregate borrowings, secured and unsecured, are reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly. Under our Articles of Amendment and Restatement, as amended, which we refer to as our “charter,” we are prohibited from borrowing in
28
excess of 300% of the value of our net assets. Net assets for purposes of this calculation is defined to be our total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost prior to deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts and other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. The preceding calculation is generally expected to approximate 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. However, we may temporarily borrow in excess of these amounts if such excess is approved by a majority of the independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report, along with an explanation for such excess. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our borrowings were approximately 107.6% and 105.2%, respectively, of the carrying value of our net assets.
The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, selected items in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (amounts in thousands):

Financing activities | (16,505 | ) | 20,788 | (37,293 | ) | ||||||
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (254 | ) | $ | (5,528 | ) |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The increase in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in deposit balances resulting from the closing of the acquisitions of 388 Fulton and Silver Lake during the first quarter of 2017.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The change in cash flows from investing activities was primarily due to the net proceeds from the disposition of Pinehurst Square East and Woodland West Marketplace of approximately $32.4 million, partially offset by our aggregate $17.8 million acquisition of 388 Fulton and Silver Lake in January 2017. Cash flows from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016, consisted of our aggregate $27.8 million investments in the Wilshire and Gelson's Joint Ventures.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The change in cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017, was primarily due to an increase in pay down of debt of approximately $33.2 million in connection with the pay down of a portion of our line of credit as a result of the dispositions of Pinehurst Square East and Woodland West Marketplace.
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal short-term demand for funds is for the payment of operating expenses, the payment of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness and distributions. To date, our cash needs for operations have been covered from cash provided by property operations, the sales of properties and the sale of shares of our common stock. Due to the termination of our initial public offering on February 7, 2013, we may fund our short-term operating cash needs from operations, from the sales of properties and from debt.
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, future redemptions of shares and interest and principal payments 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, debt and sales of properties. Until the termination of our initial public offering on February 7, 2013, our cash needs for acquisitions were satisfied from the net proceeds of the public offering and from debt financings. On a long-term basis, we expect that substantially all cash generated from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after satisfying our operating expenses including interest and principal payments. We may consider future public offerings or private placements of equity. Refer to Note 8. “Notes Payable, Net” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the maturity dates and terms of our outstanding indebtedness.

Mortgage Loans Secured by Properties Under Development
In connection with our investment in the Wilshire Joint Venture and the acquisition of the Wilshire Property, we have consolidated borrowings of $8.5 million (the “Wilshire Loan”). The Wilshire Loan bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum, payable monthly, commencing on April 1, 2016. The loan was scheduled to mature on March 7, 2017, with an option for two additional six-month periods, subject to certain conditions as stated in the loan agreement. All conditions to extensions were met, and on March 7, 2017, we exercised the option to extend the loan for six months. The new maturity date is September 7, 2017. We plan to exercise the remaining option to extend the loan for an additional six months. The loan is secured by, among other things, a lien on the Wilshire development project and other collateral as defined in the loan agreement.
In connection with our investment in the Gelson’s Joint Venture and the acquisition of the Gelson’s Property, we have consolidated borrowings of $10.7 million (the “Gelson’s Loan”). The Gelson’s Loan bears interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum, payable monthly, commencing on April 1, 2016. The loan was scheduled to mature on January 27, 2017, with an option to extend for an additional six-month period, subject to certain conditions as stated in the loan agreement. Those conditions were not met, but we negotiated a six month extension of the term on January 27, 2017. The new maturity date is July 27, 2017. We negotiated a nine month extension of the term on July 27, 2017. The new maturity date is April 27, 2018. The loan is secured by, among other things, a lien on the Gelson’s development project and other joint venture collateral as defined in the loan agreement.
Interim Financial Information
The financial information as of and for the period ended June 30, 2017, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Guidelines on Total Operating Expenses
We reimburse our Advisor for some 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% Guidelines” unless a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, our total operating expenses did not exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines.
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 annually distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to our stockholders. We must also meet certain asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. 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 IRS 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.
Quarterly Distributions
As set forth above, in order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to our stockholders.
Under the terms of the Key Bank credit facility, we may pay distributions to our stockholders so long as the total amount paid does not exceed certain thresholds specified in the Key Bank credit facility; provided, however, that we are not restricted from making any distributions necessary in order to maintain our status as a REIT. Our board of directors will continue to evaluate the amount of future quarterly distributions based on our operational cash needs.
Some or all of our distributions have been paid, and in the future may continue to be paid, from sources other than cash flows from operations.

The following tables set forth the quarterly distributions declared to our common stockholders and common unit holders for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and the year ended December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

Funds From Operations
Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of a real estate company’s operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or “NAREIT”, an industry trade group, has promulgated this supplemental performance measure and defines FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and excluding extraordinary items and gains and losses on the sale of real estate, and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures (adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO.) It is important to note that not only is FFO not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, it also does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, nor is FFO necessarily indicative of cash flow as a measure of liquidity or our ability to fund cash needs, including the payment of distributions.
We consider FFO to be a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance and one that is an appropriate supplemental disclosure for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. Comparison of our presentation of FFO to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.
32
Our calculation of FFO attributable to common shares and Common Units and the reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO is as follows (amounts in thousands, except shares and per share amounts):

Therefore, we are including the related non-controlling interest income/loss attributable to common units in the computation of FFO and including the common units together with weighted average shares outstanding for the computation of FFO per share and common unit. |
Related Party Transactions and Agreements
We are currently party to the Advisory Agreement, pursuant to which the Advisor manages our business in exchange for specified fees paid for services related to the investment of funds in real estate and real estate-related investments, management of our investments and for other services. Refer to Note 12. “Related Party Transactions” to our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the Advisory Agreement and other related party transactions, agreements and fees.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist primarily of our investments in joint ventures and are described in Note 4. “Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” in the notes to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our joint ventures typically fund their cash needs through secured debt financings obtained by and in the name of the joint venture entity. The joint ventures’ debts are secured by a first mortgage, are without recourse to the joint venture partners, and do not represent a liability of the partners other than carve-out guarantees for certain matters such as environmental conditions, misuse of funds and material misrepresentations. As of June 30, 2017, we have provided carve-out guarantees in connection with our two unconsolidated joint ventures; in connection with those carve-out guarantees we have certain rights of recovery from our joint venture partners.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our interim unaudited condensed consolidated 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. Other than the critical accounting policy discussed below, a discussion of additional accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Investments in Real Estate
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”) that clarifies the framework for
33
determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities meets the definition of a business. The revised framework establishes a screen for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities is a business and narrows the definition of a business, which is expected to result in fewer transactions being accounted for as business combinations. Acquisitions of integrated sets of assets and activities that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions.
We elected to early adopt ASU 2017-01 for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2017. As a result of adopting ASU 2017-01, our acquisitions of properties beginning January 1, 2017 were evaluated under the new guidance. The acquisitions occurring during 2017 were determined to be asset acquisitions, as they did not meet the definition of a business.
Evaluation of business combination or asset acquisition:
We evaluate each acquisition of real estate to determine if the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meet the definition of a business and need to be accounted for as a business combination. If either of the following criteria is met, the integrated set of assets and activities acquired would not qualify as a business:
• Substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; or
• The integrated set of assets and activities is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e. revenue generated before and after the transaction).
An acquired process is considered substantive if:
• The process includes an organized workforce (or includes an acquired contract that provides access to an organized workforce), that is skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced in performing the process;
• The process cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay; or
• The process is considered unique or scarce.
Generally, we expect that acquisitions of real estate will not meet the revised definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e. land, buildings, and related intangible assets), or because the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay.
In asset acquisitions, the purchase consideration, including acquisition costs, is allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. As a result, asset acquisitions do not result in the recognition of goodwill or a bargain purchase gain.
Depreciation and amortization is computed using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Years | |
Buildings and improvements | 5 - 30 years |
Tenant improvements | 1 - 36 years |
Tenant improvement costs recorded as capital assets are depreciated over the tenant’s remaining lease term, which we determined approximates the useful life of the improvement. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements that improve or extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Acquisition costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
For acquisitions of real estate prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-01, which were generally accounted for as business combinations, we recognized the assets acquired (including the intangible value of acquired above- or below-market leases, acquired in-place leases and other intangible assets or liabilities) at fair value as of the acquisition date. Acquisition costs related to the business combinations were expensed as incurred.

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 issue any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Share Redemption Program
On April 1, 2015, our board of directors approved the reinstatement of the share redemption program (which had been suspended since January 15, 2013) and adopted an Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “SRP”). Under the SRP, only shares submitted for repurchase in connection with the death or “qualifying disability” (as defined in the SRP) of a stockholder are eligible for repurchase by us. The number of shares to be redeemed is limited to the lesser of (i) a total of $2.0 million for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death and a total of $1.0 million for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s qualifying disability, and (ii) 5% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year. Share repurchases pursuant to the SRP are made at our sole discretion. We reserve 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 subject to the notice requirements in the SRP.
The redemption price for shares that are redeemed is 100% of our most recent estimated net asset value per share as of the applicable redemption date. A redemption request must be made within one year after the stockholder’s death or disability, unless such death or disability occurred between January 15, 2013 and April 1, 2015, when the share redemption program was suspended. Redemption requests due to the death or disability of a Company stockholder that occurred during such time period, were required to be submitted on or before April 1, 2016.
The SRP provides that any request to redeem less than $5 thousand worth of shares will be treated as a request to redeem all of the stockholder’s shares. If we cannot honor all redemption requests received in a given quarter, all requests, including death and disability redemptions, will be honored on a pro rata basis. If we do not completely satisfy a redemption request in one quarter, we will treat the unsatisfied portion as a request for redemption in the next quarter when funds are available for redemption, unless the request is withdrawn. We may increase or decrease the amount of funding available for redemptions under the SRP on ten business days’ notice to stockholders. Shares submitted for redemption during any quarter will be redeemed on the penultimate business day of such quarter. The record date for quarterly distributions has historically been and is expected to continue to be the last business day of each quarter; therefore, shares that are redeemed during any quarter are expected to be redeemed prior to the record date and thus would not be eligible to receive the distribution declared for such quarter.
The other material terms of the SRP are consistent with the terms of the share redemption program that was in effect immediately prior to January 15, 2013.
On October 5, 2016, our board of directors approved, pursuant to Section 3(a) of SRP, an additional $0.5 million of funds available for the redemption of shares in connection with the death of a stockholder.
