ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
Overview
We are a self-administered real estate investment trust (a "REIT"), focused on acquiring, owning and managing net leased industrial and office properties leased to creditworthy tenants. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the ticker symbol "CSG."
As of December 31, 2014, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 102 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and office properties located in 18 U.S. states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia) and in the United Kingdom, encompassing approximately 25.3 million rentable square feet. Our consolidated properties were approximately 97.5% leased (based upon rentable square feet) as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, 77 of our consolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 20.6 million rentable square feet.
In addition, we owned, on an unconsolidated basis, 26 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and office properties located in eight U.S. states (Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas) and in three European countries (France, Germany and the United Kingdom) encompassing approximately 12.4 million rentable square feet. Our unconsolidated properties were approximately 99.9% leased (based upon rentable square feet) as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, 20 of our unconsolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 11.5 million rentable square feet.
We operate in an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which our operating partnership, CSP Operating Partnership, LP ("CSP OP"), indirectly owns all of our consolidated properties and all of our interests in our unconsolidated properties, and we are the 100% owner and sole general partner. For each interest in our common shares of beneficial interest $0.01 par value (the "common shares") that we issue, an equal interest in the limited partnership units of CSP OP is issued to us in exchange for the cash proceeds from the issuance of the interest in our common shares. As of December 31, 2014, we owned 100% of the limited partnership units of CSP OP directly or indirectly through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary.
Unless the context otherwise requires or indicates, references to the "Company," "we," "our" and "us" refer to the activities of and the assets and liabilities of the business and operations of Chambers Street Properties and its subsidiaries. References to unconsolidated properties include properties owned through unconsolidated joint ventures and do not include properties owned by CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners Asia II-A, L.P. ("CBRE Strategic Partners Asia"). See Note 4 "Investments in Unconsolidated Entities" in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.
History
We were formed in Maryland on March 30, 2004 and commenced operations in July 2004 following an initial private placement of our common shares. Since the Company was established, we have raised equity capital of approximately $2.5 billion in gross proceeds through two public offerings of our common shares to finance our real estate investment activities.
Prior to July 1, 2012, all of our business activities were managed by the former investment advisor pursuant to advisory agreements. On July 1, 2012, we became a self-managed company and changed our name from CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust to Chambers Street Properties in accordance with a plan determined by our Board of Trustees. In addition, as of April 30, 2013, the transitional services agreement with CSP OP and the former investment advisor that we had entered into as part of our transition to a self-managed company ended and we became fully responsible for the management of our day-to-day operations.
On May 21, 2013, we listed our common shares on the NYSE under the symbol "CSG" (the "Listing") and concurrently commenced a modified "Dutch Auction" tender offer to purchase up to $125.0 million in value of the common shares from our shareholders, which was completed on June 26, 2013.

Attention: Investor Relations
Business Strategy
We focus on investing in industrial and office properties that are primarily net leased to investment grade or creditworthy tenants on long-term leases through acquisitions of existing properties or build-to-suit projects. We believe the credit quality of many of our tenants, the length of our leases, the relatively modest capital expense requirements of our industrial properties and our single-tenant focus help us to enhance shareholder value. We monitor the credit of our tenants to stay abreast of any material changes in credit quality. We monitor tenant credit by (1) reviewing the credit ratings of tenants (or their parent companies) that are rated by nationally recognized rating agencies, (2) reviewing financial statements that are publicly available or that are required to be delivered to us under the applicable lease, (3) monitoring news reports regarding our tenants and their underlying businesses and (4) monitoring the timeliness of rent collections. We also believe that our senior management team's extensive experience will allow us to identify and consummate the acquisition and development of high-quality net leased properties. Our strategy is to grow our portfolio with properties targeted to provide steady income, sustaining tenant relationships and enhancing the value of our existing properties. We continue to execute our strategy and expand our portfolio through the following:
Acquisitions. We believe high-quality industrial and office properties, which are net leased to tenants with strong credit profiles, represent attractive investments. We target acquisitions in markets with above-average projected rental growth, strong tenant demand and significant barriers to new construction.
Build-to-Suit Opportunities. We also intend to pursue build-to-suit opportunities that have attractive development yields and leased to tenants with strong credit profiles on a long-term basis.
Maximize Cash Flow Through Internal Growth. We seek investments with fixed rent escalations over long-term leases that provide stable, increasing cash flow. We have typically structured our property acquisitions to achieve a positive spread between our cost of capital and the yields achieved on our investments. The majority of our existing leases have embedded rental rate growth as they provide for periodic increases in rent.

2


Capital Recycling. We intend to pursue a disciplined capital allocation strategy by selectively disposing of properties that are no longer consistent with our investment strategy or whose returns appear to have been maximized. To the extent that we dispose of properties, we intend to redeploy the capital into investment opportunities that we believe are more attractive or to reduce debt.
Actively Manage a Strong and Flexible Capital Structure. We expect to maintain a prudent capital structure with access to multiple sources of equity and debt financing. We continue to stagger our debt maturities and utilize a balance of secured and unsecured borrowings. We continue to have a mix of fixed- and floating-rate debt and intend to maintain modest total leverage. As a means to reduce our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, we endeavor to retain debt in the local currency of our international properties.
We employ an enhanced income investment strategy designed to maximize risk-adjusted returns by purchasing, actively managing and selling properties located in the business districts and suburban markets of major metropolitan areas. Our primary focus is on industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and office properties. When making investment decisions we consider relevant risks and financial factors, including market conditions, the creditworthiness of major tenants, the expected levels of rental and occupancy rates, current and projected cash flow of the property, the location, condition and use of the property, suitability for future development, income-producing capacity, the prospects for long-range appreciation, liquidity and income tax considerations.
Although we are not limited as to the form our investments may take, our investments in real estate generally take the form of holding fee title or a long-term leasehold estate in the properties we acquire. We may acquire such interests either directly in CSP OP or indirectly by acquiring membership interests in, or acquisitions of property through, limited liability companies or through investments in joint ventures, partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with developers of properties, or other persons.
Development and Construction of Properties
We have directly, or in partnership with third-parties, invested in, and may in the future invest in properties that are to be, wholly or partially, constructed or completed. We are not restricted in our ability to invest in such properties. To help ensure performance by the builders of properties that are under construction, completion of properties under construction may be guaranteed at the price contracted either by an adequate completion bond, performance bond or other appropriate instruments. We may rely, however, upon the substantial net worth of the contractor or developer or a personal guarantee accompanied by financial statements showing a substantial net worth provided by an affiliate of the person entering into the construction or development contract as an alternative to a completion bond or performance bond. Development of real estate properties is subject to risks relating to a builder's ability to control construction costs or to build in conformity with plans, specifications and timetables.
Joint Venture Investments
We have entered into, and may in the future enter into, joint ventures, partnerships and other co-ownership arrangements or participations with real estate developers, owners and other third-parties for the purpose of developing, owning and operating real properties. In determining whether to invest in a particular joint venture, we will evaluate the relevant real property or development opportunity under the same criteria employed for the selection of our real estate property investments.
Industry Segments
We view our consolidated property operations as two reportable segments: Industrial Properties and Office Properties, which participate in the acquisition, development, ownership and operation of high quality real estate assets in their respective regions. We had one non-reportable segment, which was Retail Properties. However, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we sold our last remaining retail property, therefore, eliminating the non-reportable segment from future reportable presentations. Information regarding our reportable segments can be reviewed under Note 14, "Segment Disclosure," in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Geographic Areas of Properties
We currently operate in two consolidated property geographic areas, the United States and the United Kingdom. As of December 31, 2014, we also had ownership interests in (i) the Goodman Princeton Holdings (Jersey) Limited joint venture (the "UK JV"), which owned interests in properties in the United Kingdom and (ii) the Goodman Princeton Holdings (LUX) SARL joint venture (the "European JV"), which owned interests in properties in Germany and France. Information relative to the UK JV and the European JV can be reviewed under Note 4, "Investments in Unconsolidated Entities" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Regulations
Our properties, as well as any other properties that we may acquire in the future, are subject to various international, U.S. federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, including, among other things, zoning regulations, land use controls and environmental controls. Our properties are subject to regulation under federal laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), under which all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons, state and local laws addressing matters such as earthquake, fire and life safety requirements or international laws. Although we believe that our properties substantially comply with present requirements under applicable governmental regulations and laws, none of our properties have been audited or investigated for compliance by any regulatory agency. If we were not in compliance with material provisions of the ADA or other regulations affecting our properties, we might be required to take remedial action, which could include making modifications or renovations to properties. Federal, state or local governments may also enact future laws and regulations that could require us to make significant modifications or renovations to our properties. If we were to incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA or any other regulations or laws, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the quoted trading prices of our securities and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to shareholders could be adversely affected. We believe that we have all permits and approvals necessary under current law to operate our properties.
Environmental Matters
We will not close the purchase of any property unless and until we obtain an environmental assessment and are generally satisfied with the environmental status of the property. A Phase I environmental site assessment basically consists of a visual survey of the building and the property in an attempt to identify areas of potential environmental concern, visually observing neighboring properties to assess surface conditions or activities that may have an adverse environmental impact on the property, and contacting local governmental agency personnel and performing a regulatory agency file search in an attempt to determine any known environmental concerns in the immediate vicinity of the property. A Phase I environmental site assessment does not generally include any sampling or testing of soil, groundwater or building materials from the property. We may pursue additional assessments or reviews if the Phase I site assessment indicates that further environmental investigation is warranted.
In connection with our assessment and selection of investment partners, property managers, development managers and other service providers, we will consider their experience and reputation in the areas of environmental sustainability, including experience in the development and operation of buildings certified under the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System promulgated by the US Green Building Counsel. We will evaluate the sustainability of a prospective investment property by assessing its Energy Star score, its preliminary LEED score (or equivalent foreign standards), and sustainability measures that have been or can be implemented, such as recycling, water conservation and green cleaning methods. We will consider operational, maintenance and capital improvement practices for existing properties designed to increase energy efficiency, reduce waste and otherwise lessen environmental impacts while remaining conscious of economic performance.
Competition
We compete for real property investments with other REITs and institutional investors such as pension funds, private real estate investment funds, insurance company investment accounts, private investment companies, individuals and other entities engaged in real estate activities, some of which have greater financial resources than we do. Such competition may result in an increase in the amount we must pay to acquire a property or may require us to forgo an investment in properties which would otherwise meet our investment criteria. Leasing of real estate is also highly competitive in the current market, and we will experience competition for tenants from owners and managers of competing projects. As a result, we may have to provide rent concessions, incur expenses for tenant improvements or offer other inducements to enable us to timely lease vacant space, all of which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations. At the time we elect to dispose of our properties, we will also be in competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers.
Employees
As of December 31, 2014, we had 33 full-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining unit.
Leasing and Asset Management
Our asset management team collaborates with existing tenants to understand and attempt to meet their expansion, contraction and lease term renewal/extension needs. The team's ongoing communications with the tenants allows us to understand and address those requirements as and when they arise, which has allowed us to experience favorable renewal/expansion and occupancy rates.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, before you decide whether to make an investment in our securities. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, cash flows, liquidity, FFO, Core FFO, AFFO, results of operations, share price, ability to service our indebtedness, and/or ability to make cash distributions to our shareholders (including those necessary to maintain our REIT qualification). In such case, the value and trading price of our common shares could decline, and you may lose all or a significant part of your investment. Some statements in the following risk factors constitute forward looking statements. See Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."
Risks Related To Our Business and Our Properties
Real estate investments are long-term illiquid investments and may be difficult to sell in response to changing economic conditions.
Real estate investments are subject to certain inherent risks. Real estate investments are generally long-term investments that cannot be quickly converted to cash. Real estate investments are also subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions or local conditions that may reduce the demand for industrial, office or other types of properties. Other factors can also affect real estate values, including:
possible international and U.S. federal, state or local regulations and controls affecting rents, prices of goods, fuel and energy consumption and prices, water and environmental restrictions;
increasing labor and material costs;
the perceptions of tenants and prospective tenants of the convenience, attractiveness and safety of our properties;
competition from comparable properties;
the occupancy rate of our properties;
the ability to collect all rents from tenants on a timely basis;
the effects of any bankruptcies or insolvencies of major tenants;
civil unrest;
acts of nature, including earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters that may result in losses not covered by our insurance;
acts of terrorism or war;
increases in operating costs, taxes and insurance costs not subject to reimbursement;
changes in interest rates and in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage or other funding; and
other factors which are beyond our control.
Adverse economic conditions in the geographic regions in which we purchase properties may adversely affect our income and our ability to pay distributions to our shareholders.
A commercial property's income and value may be adversely affected by national and regional economic conditions, local real estate conditions such as an oversupply of properties or a reduction in demand for properties, availability of "for sale" properties, competition from other similar properties, our ability to provide adequate maintenance, insurance and management services, increased operating costs (including real estate taxes), the desirability and location of the property and changes in market rental rates. Our income will be adversely affected if a significant number of tenants are unable to pay rent or if our properties cannot be rented on favorable terms. Additionally, if tenants of properties that we lease on a triple-net basis fail to pay required tax, utility or other impositions, we could be required to pay those costs, which would adversely affect funds available for future acquisitions or cash available for distributions.

5


Our performance is linked to economic conditions in the regions where our properties are located and in the market for industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and office properties generally. As of December 31, 2014, approximately 42.4% of our portfolio (based on approximate total acquisition costs, with our unconsolidated properties included at our pro rata share of effective ownership) consisted of properties located in New Jersey (15.1%); Florida (8.2%); Texas (7.7%); California (5.8%); and South Carolina (5.6%). Therefore, to the extent that there are adverse economic conditions in those regions, and in these markets generally, that impact the applicable market rents, such conditions could result in a reduction of our income and cash available for distributions and thus affect the amount of distributions we can make to investors as well as the amounts we could otherwise receive upon a sale of a property in a negatively affected region.
Adverse economic conditions affecting the particular industries of our tenants may adversely affect our income and our ability to pay distributions to our shareholders.
We are subject to certain industry concentrations with respect to our properties, including the following, which, as of December 31, 2014, accounted for the percentage of our share of annualized base rent, with our unconsolidated properties included at our pro rata share of effective ownership, as indicated: Financial Services (13.5%); Pharmaceutical and Health Care Related (12.3%); Consumer Products (11.6%); Internet Retail (9.9%); and Defense and Aerospace (6.6%). Adverse economic conditions affecting a particular industry of one or more of our tenants could affect the financial ability of one or more of our tenants to make payments under their leases, which could cause delays in our receipt of rental revenues or a vacancy in one or more of our properties for a period of time. Therefore, changes in economic conditions of the particular industry of one or more of our tenants could reduce our ability to pay dividends and the value of one or more of our properties at the time of sale of such properties.
A concentration of our investments in a limited number of property classes may leave our profitability vulnerable to a downturn in such sectors.
At any one time, a significant portion of our property investments may be in a limited number of property classes. As of December 31, 2014, our investments were in two property classes, industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) (46%) and office (54%) based on approximate total acquisition costs, with our unconsolidated properties included at our pro rata share of effective ownership. As a result, we are subject to risks inherent in investments in these classes and downturns in the businesses conducted at these properties could adversely impact our revenues and financial condition.
Our results of operations rely on major tenants and insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership of these or other tenants could adversely affect our results of operations.
As of December 31, 2014, based on leases in effect for consolidated properties and unconsolidated joint venture properties, our five largest tenants (Amazon.com, Barclay's Capital, Raytheon Company, U.S. General Services Administration and Lord Abbett & Co.) together represented approximately 24.0% of our recognized annual base rent, with our unconsolidated properties included at our pro rata share of effective ownership. Our rental revenue depends on entering into leases with and collecting rents from tenants. General and regional economic conditions may adversely affect our major tenants and potential tenants in our markets. Our major tenants may experience a material business downturn, weakening their financial condition and potentially resulting in their failure to make timely rental payments and/or a default under their leases. In many cases, we have made substantial up front investments in the applicable leases, through tenant improvement allowances and other concessions, as well as typical transaction costs (including professional fees and commissions) that we may not be able to recover. In the event of any tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment.
The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant also may adversely affect the income produced by our properties. If any tenant becomes a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, we cannot evict the tenant solely because of the bankruptcy. In addition, the bankruptcy court might authorize the tenant to reject and terminate their lease with us. The bankruptcy of a tenant or lease guarantor could delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases, and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages. Any unsecured claim we hold may be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims, and there are restrictions under bankruptcy laws that limit the amount of the claim we can make if a lease is rejected.
Our revenue and cash flow could be materially adversely affected if any of our significant tenants were to become bankrupt or insolvent, suffer a downturn in their business, fail to abide by the terms of their leases, fail to renew their leases at all or renew on terms less favorable to us than their current terms.

Because we are dependent on our tenants for substantially all of our revenue, our success is materially dependent on the financial stability and ongoing business vitality of our tenants.
Lease payment defaults by tenants could cause us to reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders. A default of a tenant on its lease payments would cause us to lose revenue from the property and possibly incur additional operating expenses. In the event of such a default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and leasing our property. If a lease is terminated, we cannot assure you that we will be able to lease the property for the rent previously received or sell the property without incurring a loss. Further, we may be required to make rent or other concessions to tenants, accommodate requests for renovations, make build-to-suit remodeling and other improvements or provide additional services to our tenants. As a result, we may have to make significant capital or other expenditures in order to retain tenants whose leases expire and to attract new tenants in sufficient numbers. A default by a tenant, the failure of a guarantor to fulfill its obligations or other premature termination of a lease, or a tenant's election not to extend a lease upon its expiration, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to pay distributions. Certain of our properties are occupied by only a single tenant and, therefore, the success of those properties will be materially dependent on the financial stability of such tenants.
We are subject to risks involved in single tenant leases, and the default by one or more tenants could materially and adversely affect us.
As of December 31, 2014, approximately 85.0% of our portfolio (based on net rentable square footage for our consolidated and unconsolidated properties) consists of properties leased to single tenants. Any of our tenants may experience a downturn in its business at any time that may significantly weaken its financial condition or cause its failure. As a result, such tenant may decline to extend or renew its lease upon expiration, fail to make rental payments when due or declare bankruptcy. The default, financial distress or bankruptcy of a single tenant could cause interruptions in the receipt of rental revenue and/or result in a vacancy, which is likely to result in the complete reduction in the operating cash flows generated by the property leased to that tenant and may decrease the value of that property. In addition, a majority of our leases generally require the tenant to pay all or substantially all of the operating expenses normally associated with the ownership of the property, such as utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and routine maintenance. Following a vacancy at a single-tenant property, we will be responsible for all of the operating costs at such property until it can be re-let, if at all.
A property that incurs a significant vacancy could be difficult to sell or lease.
A property may incur a vacancy either by the default of a tenant under its lease or the expiration of one of our leases. Some of our properties may be specifically suited to the particular needs of the existing tenant based on the type of business the tenant operates. As of December 31, 2014, leases representing 1.6% of our annualized base rent, with our unconsolidated properties included at our pro rata share of effective ownership, were scheduled to expire during 2015. We cannot assure you that leases will be renewed or that our properties will be re-let at rental rates equal to or above our current average rental rates or that substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options will not be offered to attract new tenants or retain existing tenants. We may have difficulty obtaining a new tenant for any vacant space in our properties, particularly if the space limits the types of businesses that can use the space without major renovation. In addition, the number of vacant or partially vacant properties in a market or submarket could adversely affect our ability to re-lease the space at attractive rental rates. If a vacancy on any of our properties continues for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash to be distributed to shareholders. In addition, the resale value of any such property could be diminished because the market value of a particular property may depend principally upon the value of the leases of such property.
If one or more of our tenants file for bankruptcy protection, we may be precluded from collecting all sums due.
If one or more of our tenants, or the guarantor of a tenant's lease, commences, or has commenced against it, any proceeding under any provision of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other legal or equitable proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation, receivership or debtor's relief statute or law (bankruptcy proceeding), we may be unable to collect sums due under relevant leases. Any or all of the tenants, or a guarantor of a tenant's lease obligations, could be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Such a bankruptcy proceeding may bar our efforts to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from these entities or their properties, unless we are able to obtain an enabling order from the bankruptcy court. In the event of a bankruptcy proceeding, we cannot assure you that the tenant or its trustee will assume our lease. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would only have a general unsecured claim against the tenant, and may not be entitled to any further payments under the lease. A tenant's or lease guarantor's bankruptcy proceeding could hinder or delay efforts to collect past due balances, and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. Such an event could cause a decrease or cessation of rental payments which would mean a reduction in our cash flow and the amount available for distribution to our shareholders.

We may be required to fund future tenant improvements to improve our properties in order to retain and attract tenants, which could adversely affect us, including our operations, financial condition and cash flow.
When a tenant at one of our properties does not renew its lease or otherwise vacates its space in one of our buildings, it is likely that, in order to attract one or more new tenants, we will be required to expend substantial funds for tenant improvements to the vacated space and other lease-up costs. We may need to raise capital to make such expenditures. If we are unable to do so or our capital is otherwise unavailable, we may be unable to make the required capital expenditures. If we are required to use net cash from operations to fund any such significant tenant improvements and other lease-up costs, our operations, financial condition and cash flow could be adversely impacted.
If our tenants are unable to secure financing necessary to continue to operate their businesses and pay us rent, we could be materially and adversely affected.
Certain of our tenants rely on external sources of financing to operate their businesses. If these tenants are unable to secure financing necessary to continue to operate their businesses, they may be unable to meet their rent obligations or be forced to declare bankruptcy and reject their leases, which could materially and adversely affect us.
Our net leases may require us to pay property related expenses that are not the obligations of our tenants.
Under the terms of all of our net leases, in addition to satisfying their rent obligations, our tenants are responsible for the payment of real estate taxes, insurance and ordinary maintenance and repairs. However, under the provisions of future leases with our tenants, we may be required to pay some expenses, such as the costs of environmental liabilities, roof and structural repairs, insurance, certain non-structural repairs and maintenance. If our properties incur significant expenses that must be paid by us under the terms of our leases, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected and the amount of cash available to meet expenses and to make distributions to holders of our common shares may be reduced.
The actual rents we receive for the properties in our portfolio may be less than our asking rents, and we may experience lease roll down from time to time, which could negatively impact our ability to generate cash flow growth.
As a result of various factors, including potential competitive pricing pressure specific to certain submarkets, general economic weakness and the desirability of our properties compared to other properties in our submarkets, we may be unable to realize the asking rents across the properties in our portfolio. In addition, the degree of discrepancy between our asking rents and the actual rents we are able to obtain may vary both from property to property and among different leased spaces within a single property. If we are unable to obtain rental rates that are on average comparable to our asking rents across our portfolio, then our ability to generate cash flow growth will be negatively impacted. In addition, depending on asking rental rates at any given time as compared to expiring leases in our portfolio, from time to time rental rates for expiring leases may be higher than starting rental rates for new leases, which can negatively impact our future cash flow.
We will be subject to additional risks as a result of any joint ventures.
We have entered, and may in the future enter, into joint ventures for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties. We have purchased and developed, and may in the future purchase and develop, properties in joint ventures or in partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with sellers of properties, affiliates of sellers, developers or other persons. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present with an investment in real estate, including, for example:
the possibility that our co-venturer, co-tenant or partner in an investment might become bankrupt;
that maturities of debt encumbering our jointly owned investments may not be able to be refinanced at all or on terms that are as favorable as the current terms;
that such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals which are or become inconsistent with our business interests or goals, including inconsistent goals relating to the sale of properties owned by such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner or the timing of the termination and liquidation of such party;
the possibility that we may incur impairments and liabilities as the result of actions taken by the controlling party;
that such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives;

8


the possibility that our co-venturer, co-tenant or partner in an investment might default on any financings that we may provide to the joint venture; and
that we will not manage the properties, or be able to select the management for the property, that a joint venture owns.
Actions by such a co-venturer, co-tenant or partner might have the result of subjecting the property to liabilities in excess of those contemplated and may have the effect of reducing our returns. We have ownership interests in three joint ventures that, as of December 31, 2014, owned interests in 26 properties.
It may be difficult for us to exit a joint venture after an impasse.
In our joint ventures, there will be a potential risk of impasse in some business decisions because our approval and the approval of each co-venturer may be required for some significant operating decisions. In any joint venture, we may have the right to buy all or a portion of the other co-venturer's interest or to sell all or a portion of our own interest on specified terms and conditions in the event of an impasse. In the event of an impasse, it is possible that neither party will have the funds necessary to complete a buy-out. In addition, we may experience difficulty in locating a third-party purchaser for our joint venture interest and in obtaining a favorable sale price for the interest or, in certain cases, may require the prior written consent of the general partner or managing member of the venture. As a result, it is possible that we may not be able to exit the relationship if an impasse develops.
If third-party managers providing property management services for certain of our properties or their personnel are negligent in their performance of, or default on, their management obligations, our tenants may not renew their leases or we may become subject to unforeseen liabilities.
We have entered into agreements with third-party management companies to provide property management services for certain of our properties, and we expect to enter into similar agreements with respect to properties we acquire in the future. We cannot supervise these third-party managers and their personnel on a day-to-day basis and we cannot assure you that they will manage our properties in a manner that is consistent with their obligations under our agreements, that they will not be negligent in their performance or engage in other criminal or fraudulent activity, or that these managers will not otherwise default on their management obligations to us. Specifically, we may not audit their accounting policies and procedures and we may not evaluate the adequacy of their insurance. If any of the foregoing occurs, our relationships with our tenants could be damaged, which may prevent the tenants from renewing their leases, and we could incur liabilities resulting from loss or injury to our properties or to persons at our properties. Furthermore, if we identify that a property management company is not performing its duties as necessary, our ability to replace that property management company may be limited. Such events could adversely impact our operations, financial condition, cash flow and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders.
Development and construction of our properties may result in delays and increased costs and risks.
We have invested, and may in the future invest, in the acquisition, expansion and development of properties upon which we (or a joint venture partner) will develop and construct improvements. We will be subject to the following risks associated with such development and redevelopment activities:
unsuccessful development or redevelopment opportunities could result in direct expenses to us;
construction or redevelopment costs of a project may exceed original estimates, possibly making the project less profitable than originally estimated, or unprofitable;
time required to complete the construction or redevelopment of a project or to lease up the completed project may be greater than originally anticipated, thereby adversely affecting our cash flow and liquidity;
contractor and subcontractor disputes, strikes, labor disputes or supply disruptions;
the builder's failure to perform may necessitate legal action by us to rescind the purchase or the construction contract or to compel performance;
additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or other advances to such builders prior to completion of construction;
failure to achieve expected occupancy and/or rent levels within the projected time frame, if at all (delays in completion of construction could also give tenants the right to terminate pre-construction leases for space at a newly developed project);

9


delays with respect to obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary zoning, occupancy, land use and other governmental permits, and changes in zoning and land use laws;
occupancy rates and rents of a completed project may not be sufficient to make the project profitable;
if our projections of rental income and expenses and estimates of the fair market value of a property upon completion of construction are inaccurate, we may pay too much for a property; and
the availability and pricing of financing to fund our development activities on favorable terms or at all.
Factors such as those discussed above can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment, which could adversely impact operating results and financial condition.
Competition for investments may reduce the number of acquisition opportunities available to us and increase costs of those acquisitions, which may impede our growth.
The current market for acquisitions that meet our investment criteria is extremely competitive. We experience competition for such real property investments from corporations, other real estate investment trusts, pension plans, sovereign funds and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities. This competition may increase the demand for the types of properties in which we typically invest and, therefore, reduce the number of suitable acquisition opportunities available to us and increase the prices paid for such acquisition properties. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investments may increase. This competition will increase if investments in real estate become more attractive relative to other forms of investment. Any such increase would result in increased demand for these assets and therefore increased prices paid for them. A significant increase in competition for acquisitions may impede our growth.
We may be unable to identify and successfully complete acquisitions and even if acquisitions are identified and completed, we may fail to successfully operate acquired properties, which could materially and adversely affect us and impede our growth.
Our ability to identify and acquire properties on favorable terms and successfully operate or redevelop them may be exposed to the following significant risks:
even if we enter into agreements for the acquisition of properties, these agreements are subject to customary conditions to closing, including completion of due diligence investigations to our satisfaction and other conditions that are not within our control, which may not be satisfied, and we may be unable to complete an acquisition after making a non-refundable deposit and incurring certain other acquisition-related costs;
we may be unable to finance the acquisition on favorable terms in the time period we desire, or at all;
we may spend more than budgeted to make necessary improvements or renovations to acquired properties;
we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage for new properties;
acquired properties may be located in new markets where we may face risks associated with a lack of market knowledge or understanding of the local economy, lack of business relationships in the area and unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures;
we may be unable to integrate quickly and efficiently new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations, and as a result our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected;
market conditions may result in higher than expected vacancy rates and lower than expected rental rates; and
we may incur significant costs and divert management attention in connection with evaluating and negotiating potential acquisitions, including ones that we are subsequently unable to complete.
Any delay or failure on our part to identify, negotiate, finance and consummate such acquisitions in a timely manner and on favorable terms, or operate acquired properties to meet our financial expectations, could impede our growth and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow.

10


General economic conditions may affect the timing of the sale of our properties and the purchase price we receive.
We intend to hold the various real properties in which we invest until such time as we determine that the sale or other disposition thereof appears to be advantageous. We cannot predict with any certainty the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future. Due to the uncertainty of market conditions that may affect the future disposition of our properties, we cannot assure you that we will be able to sell our properties at a profit. Further, we cannot predict the length of time that will be needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of any property.
We may acquire properties or portfolios of properties through tax-deferred contribution transactions, which could result in shareholder dilution and limit our ability to sell such assets.
In the future we may acquire properties or portfolios of properties through tax-deferred contribution transactions in exchange for partnership interests in our operating partnership, which may result in shareholder dilution. This acquisition structure may have the effect of, among other things, reducing the amount of tax depreciation we could deduct over the tax life of the acquired properties, and may require that we agree to protect the contributors' ability to defer recognition of taxable gain through restrictions on our ability to dispose of the acquired properties and/or the allocation of partnership debt to the contributors to maintain their tax bases. These restrictions could limit our ability to sell an asset at a time, or on terms, that would be favorable absent such restrictions.
We may acquire or finance properties with lock-out provisions, which may prohibit us from selling a property, or may require us to maintain specified debt levels for a period of years on some properties.
Lock-out provisions, which preclude pre-payments of a loan, could materially restrict us from selling or otherwise disposing of or refinancing properties. These provisions would affect our ability to turn our investments into cash and thus affect cash available for distributions to investors. Lock-out provisions may prohibit us from reducing the outstanding indebtedness with respect to any properties, refinancing such indebtedness on a non-recourse basis at maturity, or increasing the amount of indebtedness with respect to such properties. Lock-out provisions could impair our ability to take other actions during the lock-out, which could negatively impact our operations and financial condition. In addition, lock-out provisions could preclude us from participating in major transactions that could result in a disposition of our assets or a change in control even though that disposition or change in control might be in the best interests of our shareholders. Further, if we sell properties by providing financing to purchasers, defaults by the purchasers would adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
We may obtain only limited warranties when we purchase a property and would have only limited recourse in the event our due diligence did not identify any issues that lower the value of our property.
The seller of a property often sells such property in its "as is" condition on a "where is" basis and "with all faults," without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase agreements may contain only limited warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. The purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk that we may lose some or all of our invested capital in the property as well as the loss of rental income from that property.
We may experience a decline in the fair value of our assets, which may have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
A decline in the fair market value of our assets may require us to recognize a permanent impairment against such assets under U.S. Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), if we were to determine that we do not have the ability and intent to hold such assets to maturity or for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery to the amortized cost of such assets. If such a determination were to be made, we would recognize unrealized losses through earnings and write down the amortized cost of such assets to a new cost basis, based on the fair value of such assets on the date they are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired. Such impairment charges reflect non-cash losses at the time of recognition; subsequent disposition or sale of such assets could further affect our future losses or gains, as they are based on the difference between the sale price received and adjusted amortized cost of such assets at the time of sale.
We may become subject to litigation, which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
We may become subject to litigation, including claims relating to our operations, offerings, and otherwise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims may result in significant defense costs and potentially significant judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, insured against. We generally intend to defend ourselves vigorously; however, we cannot be certain of the ultimate outcomes of any claims that may arise in the future. Resolution of these types of matters against us may result in our having to pay significant fines, judgments,

11


or settlements, which, if uninsured, or if the fines, judgments, and settlements exceed insured levels, could adversely impact our earnings and cash flows, thereby having an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and trustees.
Real estate related taxes may increase and if these increases are not passed on to tenants, our income will be reduced.
Some local real property tax assessors may seek to reassess some of our properties as a result of our acquisition of the properties. Generally, from time to time our property taxes increase as property values or assessment rates change or for other reasons deemed relevant by the assessors. An increase in the assessed valuation of a property for real estate tax purposes will result in an increase in the related real estate taxes on that property. In some areas where we have properties, declines in other tax revenues for the states are resulting in the states considering increases to future property and other business related tax rates. Although some tenant leases may permit us to pass through such tax increases to the tenants for payment, there is no assurance that renewal leases or future leases will be negotiated on the same basis. Increases not passed through to tenants may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation, cash flow and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders.
If we purchase environmentally hazardous property, our operating results could be adversely affected.
Under various U.S. federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require expenditures. Environmental laws provide for sanctions in the event of noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. In connection with the acquisition and ownership of our properties, we may be potentially liable for such costs. The cost of defending against claims of liability, complying with environmental regulatory requirements or remediating any contaminated property could have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations and, consequently, amounts available for distribution. Any costs or expenses relating to environmental matters may not be covered by insurance. Existing conditions at some of our properties, historical operations at or near some of our properties, and use of hazardous materials by some of our tenants are all potential environmental liabilities. These liabilities may exceed our environmental insurance coverage limits or transactional indemnities. We carry what we believe to be commercially reasonable environmental insurance. Our environmental insurance policies are subject to various terms, conditions and exclusions. Similarly, in connection with some transactions we obtain environmental indemnities that may not be honored by the indemnitors or may fail to address resulting liabilities adequately. Therefore, we cannot provide any assurance that our insurance coverage or transactional indemnities will be sufficient or that our liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, quoted trading price of our common shares, and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders.
Uninsured losses relating to real property may adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
In the event that any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully covered by insurance, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss. In addition, we may have limited funding to repair or reconstruct the damaged property, and we cannot assure you that any such source of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future. Furthermore, insurance may be unavailable or uneconomical. In particular, insurance coverage relating to flood or earthquake damage or terrorist acts may not be available or affordable. Also, due to changes in codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors, it may not be feasible to use insurance proceeds to replace a building after it has been damaged or destroyed or the proceeds could be insufficient. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss that is not fully covered by insurance, it could disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Such events could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to our shareholders.
We may incur significant costs complying with various federal, state and local laws, regulations and covenants that are applicable to our properties and, in particular, costs associated with complying with regulations such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 may result in unanticipated expenses.
The properties in our portfolio are subject to various covenants and international and U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulatory requirements, including permitting and licensing requirements. Local regulations, including municipal or local ordinances, zoning restrictions and restrictive covenants imposed by community developers may restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from local officials or restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from local officials of community standards

12


organizations at any time with respect to our properties, including prior to acquiring a property or when undertaking renovations of any of our existing properties. Among other things, these restrictions may relate to fire and safety, seismic or hazardous material abatement requirements. There can be no assurance that existing laws and regulatory policies will not adversely affect us or the timing or cost of any future acquisitions or renovations, or that additional regulation will not be adopted that increase such delays or result in additional costs. Our growth strategy may be affected by our ability to obtain permits, licenses and zoning relief. Our failure to obtain such permits, licenses and zoning relief or to comply with applicable laws could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
In addition, under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all places of public accommodation are required to meet certain U.S. federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. We do not conduct audits or investigations of all of these properties to determine their compliance and we cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with the ADA, or other legislation. If one or more of our properties in which we invest is not in compliance with the ADA, or other legislation, then we would be required to incur additional costs to bring the property into compliance. If we incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA and the FHAA or other legislation, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, price per share of our common shares and our ability to satisfy debt service obligations and to pay distributions could be adversely affected.
We may incur significant financial penalties if we fail to comply with various laws and regulations.
Our properties, as well as any other properties that we may acquire in the future, are subject to various international, U.S. federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulatory requirements, including, among other things, zoning regulations, land use controls and environmental controls. We are also subject to various labor relations laws. We may incur financial penalties enforced by external regulatory bodies if we fail to comply with these various laws, ordinances and regulatory requirements, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Your investment may be subject to additional risks when we make international investments.
We purchase properties located outside the U.S. These investments may be affected by factors peculiar to the laws and business practices of the jurisdictions in which the properties are located. These laws may expose us to risks that are different from and in addition to those commonly found in the U.S. Foreign investments could be subject to the following risks:
changes in laws, treaties and regulatory requirements, including changes in land use and zoning laws;
enactment of laws relating to the foreign ownership of real property and laws restricting the ability of foreign persons or companies to remove profits earned from activities within the country to the person's or company's country of origin;
difficulties and costs associated with complying with a wide variety of complex laws, treaties and regulations;
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely impact the fair values and earnings streams of our international holdings and, therefore, the returns on our non-dollar denominated investments. We do not currently hedge our foreign currency exposure, which may result in losses on investments as a result of exchange rate fluctuations;
adverse market conditions caused by terrorism, civil unrest, natural disasters and changes in national or local governmental or economic conditions;
the willingness of domestic or foreign lenders to make mortgage loans in certain countries and changes in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds resulting from varying national economic policies;
the imposition of unique tax structures and changes in real estate and other tax rates and other operating expenses in particular countries;
our ability to qualify as a REIT; and
general political and economic instability.
If we expand our international activities, these risks could increase in significance which in turn could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

13


Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may affect the market for our common shares, the industry in which we conduct our operations and our profitability.
Terrorist attacks may harm our results of operations and financial condition. We cannot assure you that there will not be terrorist attacks in the localities in which we conduct business. More generally, any of these events could cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease or result in increased volatility in the worldwide financial markets and economy. These attacks or armed conflicts may adversely impact our operations or financial condition. In addition, losses resulting from these types of events may be uninsurable.
Your investment return may be reduced if we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
We do not intend to invest in marketable securities, and we do not intend to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "Investment Company Act"). If we were obligated to register as an investment company, we would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under the Investment Company Act that impose, among other things:
limitations on capital structure;
restrictions on specified investments;
prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; and
compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations that would significantly increase our operating expenses.
In general, we expect to be able to rely on the exclusion from registration provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act. In order to qualify for this exclusion, at least 55% of our portfolio must be comprised of real property and mortgages and other liens on an interest in real estate (collectively, "qualifying assets") and at least 80% of our portfolio must be comprised of real estate-related assets. Qualifying assets include mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities that represent the entire ownership in a pool of mortgage loans and other interests in real estate. In order to maintain our exclusion from registering as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we must continue to engage primarily in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring real estate or interests in real estate.
To maintain compliance with the exclusion from registration provided by section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act, we may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell, and may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish to retain. In addition, we may have to acquire additional income or loss generating assets that we might not otherwise have acquired or may have to forego opportunities to acquire interests in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire and would be important to our investment strategy. If we were required to register as an investment company, our business would be adversely affected and we would be prohibited from engaging in our business as currently contemplated because the Investment Company Act, among other things, imposes significant limitations on leverage. Criminal and civil actions could also be brought against us if we failed to comply with the Investment Company Act. In addition, our contracts could be unenforceable (unless a court in equity were to require enforcement), and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of us and liquidate our business. Although we intend to monitor our portfolio, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our exclusion from registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Further, in August of 2011, the SEC solicited public comment on a wide range of issues relating to Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act, including the nature of the assets that qualify for purposes of the exclusion and leverage used by mortgage related vehicles. There can be no assurance that the laws and regulations governing the Investment Company Act status of companies primarily owning real estate related assets, including the SEC or its staff providing more specific or different guidance regarding this exclusion, will not change in a manner that adversely affects our operations. To the extent that the SEC or its staff provides more specific or different guidance, we may be required to adjust our strategy accordingly. Any additional guidance from the SEC staff could provide additional flexibility to us, or it could further inhibit our ability to pursue the strategies we have chosen.
We rely on information technology in our operations, and any failure, inadequacy, interruption or security failure of that technology could harm our business.
We rely on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes, including financial transactions and records and tenant and lease data. We purchase some of our information technology from vendors, on whom our systems depend. We rely on commercially available systems, software, tools and monitoring to provide security for processing, transmission and storage of confidential information, including but not limited to tenant information and information relating to financial accounts. Although we have taken steps to protect the security of our information systems

14


and the data maintained in those systems, it is possible that our safety and security measures will not be able to prevent the systems' improper functioning or damage, or the improper access or disclosure of confidential information. Any failure to maintain proper function, security and availability of our information systems could interrupt our operations, damage our reputation and subject us to liability claims or regulatory penalties, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We face risks relating to cybersecurity attacks that could cause loss of confidential information and other business disruptions.
We rely extensively on computer systems to manage our business, and our business is at risk from and may be impacted by cybersecurity attacks. These could include attempts to gain unauthorized access to our data and computer systems. Attacks can be both individual and/or highly organized attempts organized by very sophisticated hacking organizations. We employ a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats, which include password protection, frequent password change events, firewall detection systems, frequent backups, a redundant data system for core applications and annual penetration testing; however, there is no guarantee such efforts will be successful in preventing a cyber-attack. A cybersecurity attack could compromise the confidential information of our employees, tenants and vendors. A successful attack could disrupt and affect the business operations.
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
We have limited experience operating as a self-managed company, which makes our future performance difficult to predict. As a result of our transition to self-management, we may be exposed to risks which we have not historically encountered.
We have a limited operating history as a self-managed company. Historically, all of our business activities were managed by our former investment advisor pursuant to the fourth amended and restated advisory agreement, which terminated according to its terms on June 30, 2012. As a result, our future performance as a self-managed company is more difficult to predict. In addition, as an employer, we are subject to those potential liabilities that are commonly faced by employers, such as workers' disability and compensation claims, potential labor disputes, and other employee-related liabilities and grievances, and we will bear the costs of the establishment and maintenance of such plans.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of certain key personnel, each of whom would be difficult to replace. If we were to lose the benefit of the experience, efforts and abilities of one or more of these individuals, our operating results could suffer.
We rely on a small number of persons who comprise our existing key management team to implement our business and investment strategies. Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to make distributions to our shareholders is dependent upon the continued performance of our Board of Trustees and our key management personnel. While we entered into employment agreements with certain of our key management personnel, they may nevertheless cease to provide services to us at any time. In addition, if any member of our Board of Trustees were to resign, we would lose the benefit of such trustee's governance and experience. The loss of services of any of our key management personnel, or our inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in the future, could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.
On November 10, 2014, we announced that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Trustees will lead, effective immediately, the process of identifying a successor for our Chief Executive Officer who will retire effective upon the naming of an interim or permanent Chief Executive Officer. The search for and transition to a successor Chief Executive Officer may result in disruptions to our business and uncertainty among investors, employees and others concerning our future direction and performance. Any such disruptions and uncertainty, as well as the failure to successfully identify, attract or retain a successor Chief Executive Officer, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Restrictions on ownership of a controlling percentage of our shares may limit your opportunity to receive a premium on your shares.
To assist us in complying with the share ownership requirements necessary for us to qualify as a REIT, our declaration of trust currently prohibits, with certain exceptions, direct or constructive ownership by any person of more than 9.8% by number or value, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common shares and more than 9.8% by number or value, whichever is more restrictive, of any outstanding preferred shares. Our Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, may exempt a person from the share ownership limits. Additionally, our declaration of trust prohibits direct or constructive ownership of our shares that would otherwise result in our failure to qualify as a REIT. The constructive ownership rules in our declaration of trust are complex and may cause the outstanding shares owned by a group of related individuals or entities to be deemed to be constructively owned by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than any ownership limit by an individual or entity could cause that individual or entity to own constructively in excess of any ownership limit of our outstanding

15


shares. Any attempt to own or transfer our shares in excess of either ownership limit without the consent of our Board of Trustees shall be void, and will result in the shares being transferred to a charitable trust. These provisions may inhibit market activity and the resulting opportunity for our shareholders to receive a premium for their shares that might otherwise exist if any person were to attempt to assemble a block of our shares in excess of the number of shares permitted under our declaration of trust and which may be in the best interests of our shareholders.
Maryland takeover statutes could restrict a change of control, which could have the affect of inhibiting a change in control even if a change in control were in our shareholders' interests.
Under the Maryland General Corporate Law (the "MGCL") as applicable to REITs, certain "business combinations" between a Maryland REIT and an interested shareholder or an affiliate of an interested shareholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested shareholder is defined as:
any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the Company's outstanding voting shares; or
an affiliate or associate of the Company who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the Company.
A person is not an interested shareholder under the statute if our Board of Trustees approves in advance the transaction by which he otherwise would have become an interested shareholder.
After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland REIT and an interested shareholder generally must be recommended by our Board of Trustees and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:
80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding voting shares of the Company; and
two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding voting shares of the Company other than shares held by the interested shareholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder.
The business combination statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer, including potential acquisitions that might involve a premium price for our common shares or otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders.
Our Board of Trustees has adopted a resolution exempting the Company from the provisions of the MGCL relating to business combinations with interested shareholders or affiliates of interested shareholders. However, such resolution can be altered or repealed, in whole or in part, at any time by our Board of Trustees. If such resolution is repealed, the business combination statute could have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us and of increasing the difficulty of consummating these offers, even if our acquisition would be in our shareholders' best interests.
Certain provisions of the MGCL applicable to Maryland real estate investment trusts permit our Board of Trustees, without shareholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our declaration of trust or bylaws, to adopt certain mechanisms, some of which (for example, a classified board) we do not have. These provisions may have the effect of limiting or precluding a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of our common shares with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then current market price.
The MGCL also limits the ability of a third-party to buy a large stake in us and exercise voting power in electing trustees.
The MGCL, as applicable to REITs, provides that "control shares" of a Maryland REIT acquired in a "control share acquisition" have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares owned by the acquiror, by officers or by trustees who are employees of the corporation. "Control shares" are voting shares that would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing trustees within specified ranges of voting power. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained shareholder approval. A "control share acquisition" means the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares, subject to certain exceptions. The control share acquisition statute does not apply (i) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if we are a party to the transaction, or (ii) to acquisitions approved or exempted by our declaration of trust or bylaws. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the control share acquisition statute any and all acquisitions

16


by any person of our shares. We cannot assure you that such provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future. If such provision is eliminated, the control share acquisition statute could have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us and increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if our acquisition would be in our shareholders' best interests.
We are authorized to issue preferred shares. The issuance of preferred shares could adversely affect the holders of our common shares issued pursuant to our public offerings.
Our declaration of trust authorizes us to issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares, of which 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred shares. Subject to approval by our Board of Trustees, we may issue preferred shares with rights, preferences, and privileges that are more beneficial than the rights, preferences, and privileges of our common shares. Holders of our common shares do not have preemptive rights to acquire any shares issued by us in the future. If we ever create and issue preferred shares with a distribution preference over common shares, payment of any distribution preferences on outstanding preferred shares would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of distributions on our common shares. In addition, holders of preferred shares are normally entitled to receive a preference payment in the event we liquidate, dissolve or wind up before any payment is made to our common shareholders, thereby reducing the amount a common shareholder might otherwise receive upon such an occurrence. Also, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred shares may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.
Our Board of Trustees may change our strategies, policies or procedures without shareholder approval, which may subject us to different and more significant risks in the future.
Our investment, financing, leverage and distribution policies and our policies with respect to all other activities, including growth, debt, capitalization and operations, are determined by our Board of Trustees. These policies may be amended or revised at any time and from time to time at the discretion of our Board of Trustees without notice to or a vote of our shareholders. This could result in us conducting operational matters, making investments or pursuing different business or growth strategies. Under these circumstances, we may expose ourselves to different and more significant risks in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and growth. In addition, our Board of Trustees may change our policies with respect to conflicts of interest provided that such changes are consistent with applicable legal requirements. A change in these policies could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common shares and ability to satisfy our principal and interest obligations and to make distributions to our shareholders.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of integrated internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
We are required to report our operations on a consolidated basis under GAAP and, in some cases, on a property-by-property basis. If we fail to maintain proper overall business controls, our results of operations could be harmed or we could fail to meet our reporting obligations. In addition, the existence of a material weakness or significant deficiency could result in errors in our financial statements that could require a restatement, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and cause shareholders to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on us. In the case of joint ventures, we may also be subject to additional risks and uncertainties in that we may be dependent upon, and subject to liability, losses or reputation damage relating to, overall business controls, that are not under our control which could have a material adverse effect of us.
Changes in accounting rules, assumptions and/or judgments could materially and adversely affect us.
Accounting rules for certain aspects of our and our joint ventures' operations are highly complex and involve significant judgment and assumptions. These complexities could lead to a delay in the preparation of our or our joint ventures' financial statements and the delivery of this information to our shareholders. Furthermore, changes in accounting rules or in our accounting assumptions and/or judgments, such as asset impairments, could materially impact our financial statements. Under any of these circumstances, we could be materially and adversely affected.
Fraud, misconduct or inadvertent errors made by employees or third parties may cause financial loss, litigation or regulatory action, which could result in an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are dependent on our employees and third parties for our operations and financial affairs. Fraud, misconduct or inadvertent errors by our employees or third parties could cause financial harm to us or expose us to litigation or regulatory action and injure our reputation. These types of conduct could include, among other types, unauthorized expenditures, misappropriation of funds, incorrect reporting of our transactions or errors or misstatements in required filings. Our ability to protect against and detect fraud, misconduct or inadvertent errors is limited and

17


we may not be successful in detecting and remedying these actions, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Debt Financing
Dislocations or volatility in the capital and credit markets could adversely affect us.
Dislocations or volatility in the financial markets have the potential to affect, particularly in the near term, the value of our properties and our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, the availability or the terms of financing that we and our unconsolidated joint ventures have or may anticipate utilizing, and the ability of us and our unconsolidated joint ventures to make principal and interest payments on or refinance any outstanding debt when due. It may also impact the ability of our tenants and potential tenants to enter into new leases or satisfy rental payments under existing leases. Capital market dislocations or volatility may potentially cause certain financial institutions to fail or to seek federal assistance. In the event of a failure of a lender or counterparty to a financial contract, obligations under the financial contract might not be honored and many forms of assets may be at risk and may not be fully returned to us. Should a financial institution fail to fund its committed amounts when contractually obligated to do so, our ability to meet our obligations could be materially and adversely impacted.
We could become more highly leveraged and an increase in debt service could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions.
We had approximately $1.5 billion of outstanding indebtedness (consolidated and unconsolidated at our pro rata share), excluding net premiums, representing approximately 45.5% of the approximate total acquisition cost of our consolidated and unconsolidated properties, including intangibles, as of December 31, 2014.
Our level of debt and the limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements could have significant adverse consequences, including the following:
our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments;
we may be unable to borrow additional funds as needed or on favorable terms, which could, among other things, adversely affect our ability to meet operational needs;
we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or the refinancing terms may be less favorable than the terms of our current indebtedness;
we may be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties, possibly on unfavorable terms or in violation of certain loan covenants to which we may be subject;
we may violate restrictive covenants in our loan documents, which would entitle the lenders to accelerate our debt obligations; and
our default under any loan with cross default provisions could result in a default on other indebtedness.
If we become more highly leveraged, then the resulting increase in debt service could adversely affect our ability to make payments on outstanding indebtedness and to pay our anticipated distributions and/or the distributions required to qualify as a REIT, and could harm our financial condition.
Our growth depends on external sources of capital that are outside of our control, which may affect our ability to seize strategic opportunities, satisfy debt obligations and make distributions to our shareholders.
In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our shareholders, on an annual basis, at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. In addition, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income (including net capital gains) and will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount by which our distributions in any calendar year are less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal income tax laws. Because of these distribution requirements, we may not be able to fund future capital needs, including any necessary acquisition financing, from operating cash flow. Consequently, we may need to rely on third-party sources to fund our capital needs. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, in the time period we desire, or at all. Any additional debt we incur will increase our leverage. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends, in part, on:
general market conditions;

18


the market's perception of our growth potential;
our current debt levels;
our current and expected future earnings; and
our cash flow and cash distributions.
If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to acquire or redevelop properties when strategic opportunities exist, satisfy our principal and interest obligations or make the cash distributions to our shareholders necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
Our unsecured credit facility will restrict our ability to engage in some business activities, including our ability to incur additional indebtedness in excess of agreed amounts and make certain investments, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Our unsecured credit facility contains customary negative covenants and other financial and operating covenants that, among other things:
restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness in excess of agreed amounts;
restrict our ability to incur certain types of liens;
restrict our ability to make certain investments;
restrict our ability to merge with another company;
restrict our ability to sell or dispose of assets;
restrict our ability to make distributions to shareholders; and
require us to satisfy minimum financial coverage ratios, minimum tangible net worth requirements and maximum leverage ratios.
These limitations will restrict our ability to engage in some business activities, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. In addition, our unsecured credit facility contains specific cross-default provisions with respect to specified other indebtedness, giving the lenders the right to declare a default if we are in default under other loans in some circumstances.
If we fail to make our debt payments, we could lose our investment in a property.
We intend to secure the loans we obtain to fund future property acquisitions with mortgages on some of our properties. If we are unable to make our debt payments as required, a lender could foreclose on the property or properties securing its debt. This could cause us to lose part or all of our investment which in turn could cause a reduction in the value of the shares and the dividends payable to our shareholders.
Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments, adversely affect our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders and could also adversely affect the values of the properties we own.
We expect that we will incur additional indebtedness in the future. Interest we pay could reduce cash available for distributions. Additionally, if we incur variable rate debt, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which would reduce our cash flows and our ability to service indebtedness and, therefore, our ability to pay dividends to you. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments in properties at times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.
If we enter into financing arrangements involving balloon payment obligations, it may adversely affect our ability to pay dividends.
Our financing arrangements may require us to make a lump-sum or "balloon" payment at maturity. Our ability to make a balloon payment at maturity is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain additional financing or our ability to sell the property. At the time the balloon payment is due, we may or may not be able to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan or sell the property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. A refinancing or sale under these circumstances could affect the rate of return to shareholders and the projected time of disposition of our assets. In addition, payments of principal and interest made to service our debts may leave us

19


with insufficient cash to pay the distributions that we are required to pay to qualify as a REIT. In such case, we may be forced to borrow funds to make the distributions required to qualify as a REIT.
Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect our results of operations.
Subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT, we may seek to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility by using interest rate hedging arrangements, such as interest cap agreements and interest rate swap agreements. These agreements may fail to protect or could adversely affect us because, among other things:
interest rate hedging can be expensive, particularly during periods of rising and volatile interest rates;
available interest rate hedges may not correspond directly with the interest rate risk for which protection is sought;
the duration of the hedge may not match the duration of the related liability;
the amount of income that a REIT may earn from hedging transactions (other than through taxable REIT subsidiaries) is limited by U.S. federal tax provisions governing REITs;
the credit quality of the party owing money on the hedge may be downgraded to such an extent that it impairs our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction;
the party owing money in the hedging transaction may default on its obligation to pay;
we could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements;
the underlying transactions could fail to qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges under FASB ASC "Derivative and Hedging"; and
a court could rule that such an agreement is not legally enforceable.
We have adopted a policy relating to the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risks related to our borrowings. This policy governs our use of derivative financial instruments to manage the interest rates on our variable rate borrowings. Our policy states that we will not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes and intend only to enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors, but our Board of Trustees may choose to change these policies in the future. Hedging may reduce the overall returns on our investments, which could reduce our cash available for distribution to our shareholders. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Risks Related to our Common Shares
The price of our common shares has fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate significantly, which may make it difficult for you to sell our common shares when you want or at prices you find attractive.
The price of our common shares on the NYSE constantly changes and has been subject to significant price fluctuations. We expect that the market price of our common shares will continue to fluctuate significantly. Our share price can fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors may include:
actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;
changes in our earnings estimates or publication of research reports about us or the real estate industry;
future sales of substantial amounts of common shares by our existing or future shareholders;
increases in market interest rates, which may lead purchasers of our common shares to demand a higher yield;
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we incur in the future;
additions or departures of key personnel;

20


actions by institutional shareholders;
speculation in the press or investment community; and
general market and economic conditions.
In addition, the stock market in general may experience extreme volatility that may be unrelated to the operating performance of a particular company. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common shares.
Future offerings of debt securities, which would be senior to our common shares, or equity securities, which would dilute our existing shareholders and may be senior to our common shares, may adversely affect the market price of our common shares.
In the future, we may issue debt or equity securities, including medium term notes, senior or subordinated notes and classes of preferred or common shares. Debt securities or preferred shares will generally be entitled to receive payments, both current and in connection with any liquidation or sale, prior to the holders of our common shares. Our Board of Trustees may issue such securities without shareholder approval and under the MGCL may amend our declaration of trust to increase the aggregate number of authorized capital shares or the number of authorized capital shares of any class or series without shareholder approval. We are not required to offer any such additional debt or equity securities to existing common shareholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, offerings of common shares or other equity securities may dilute the percentage ownership interest of our existing shareholders. To the extent we issue additional equity interests, our shareholders' percentage ownership interest in us will be diluted. Depending upon the terms and pricing of any additional offerings and the value of our real properties and other real estate related assets, our shareholders may also experience dilution in both the book value and fair market value of their shares. As a result, future offerings of debt or equity securities, or the perception that such offerings may occur, may reduce the market price of our common shares and/or the distributions that we pay with respect to our common shares.
Our distributions to shareholders may change, which could adversely affect the market price of our common shares.
All distributions on our common shares are at the sole discretion of our Board of Trustees and depend upon our actual and projected financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and funds from operations, maintenance of our REIT qualification and such other matters as our Board of Trustees may deem relevant from time to time. We cannot guarantee the amount and timing of distributions paid in the future, if any. In the future we may not be able to make distributions or may need to fund such distributions from external sources, as to which no assurances can be given. In addition, we may choose to retain operating cash flow for investment purposes, working capital reserves or other purposes, and these retained funds, although increasing the value of our underlying assets, may not correspondingly increase the market price of our common shares. Our failure to meet the market's expectations with regard to future cash distributions likely would adversely affect the market price of our common shares.
Certain shareholders may be subject to withholding and reporting requirements under FATCA.
Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Internal Revenue Code") and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder ("FATCA") generally impose a withholding tax of 30% ("FATCA withholding") on certain gross amounts of income not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business paid to certain "foreign financial institutions" and certain other U.S.-owned "non-financial foreign entities," unless various information reporting requirements are satisfied. Amounts subject to FATCA withholding generally include gross U.S.-source dividends and gross proceeds from the sale of shares, paid on or after January 1, 2017. To avoid withholding under FATCA, shareholders that are subject to these rules generally will be obligated to comply with certain information reporting and disclosure requirements.
An investor may be subject to FATCA withholding with respect to dividends or gross proceeds on or after January 1, 2017. Shareholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisers regarding the possible application of FATCA to their investment in our common shares.
Increases in market interest rates may result in a decrease in the value of our common shares.
One of the factors that may influence the price of our common shares will be the dividend distribution rate on our common shares (as a percentage of the price of our common shares) relative to market interest rates. If market interest rates rise, prospective purchasers of common shares may expect a higher distribution rate. Higher interest rates would not, however, result in more funds being available for distribution and, in fact, would likely increase our borrowing costs and might decrease our funds available for distribution. We therefore may not be able, or we may not choose, to provide a higher distribution rate. As a result, prospective purchasers may decide to purchase other securities rather than our common shares, which would reduce the demand for, and result in a decline in the market price of, our common shares.

21


If securities analysts downgrade our common shares or the real estate sector, the price of our common shares could decline.
The trading market for our common shares relies in part upon the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. We have no control over these analysts. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover us downgrades our shares or our industry, or the stock of any of our competitors, the price of our common shares could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of the Company, we could lose attention in the market, which in turn could cause the price of our common shares to decline.
Risks Related to Our Taxation as a REIT
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, our operations and ability to make distributions will be adversely affected because we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates with no deductions for distributions made to shareholders.
We believe that we are organized and operate in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, and that our method of operation enables us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. So long as we qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our net taxable income that we currently distribute to our shareholders. In order for us to qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy certain requirements established under highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations, and which involve the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control.
If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, or if we failed to meet our distribution requirements we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates with no deductions for distributions made to shareholders. Further, in such event, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we lose our REIT qualification. Accordingly, the loss of our REIT qualification would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to shareholders because of the substantial tax liabilities that would be imposed on us. We might also be required to borrow funds or sell investments to pay the applicable tax.
We may be subject to tax on our undistributed net taxable income or be forced to borrow funds to make distributions required to qualify as a REIT.
As a REIT, we generally must distribute at least 90% of our annual net taxable income (excluding net capital gain) to our shareholders and we are subject to regular corporate income tax to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our annual net taxable income. In addition, we are subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. In order to make distributions necessary to qualify as a REIT and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes, we may need to borrow funds on a short-term, or possibly long-term, basis, use proceeds from our public offerings or future public offerings, or sell properties, even if the then prevailing market conditions are not favorable for borrowings or sales. Our need for cash to make distributions could result from, among other things, a difference in timing between the actual receipt of cash and inclusion of income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves and the repayment of indebtedness.
Complying with the REIT requirements may cause us to forego and/or liquidate otherwise attractive investments.
To maintain our REIT qualification, we must satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our shareholders and the ownership of our shares. We may be required to make distributions to shareholders at times when it would be more advantageous to reinvest cash in our business or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.
In particular, we must ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and qualified real estate assets. The remainder of our investment in securities (other than government securities, securities of any taxable REIT subsidiary or qualified REIT subsidiary of ours and securities that are qualified real estate assets) generally may not include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) may consist of the securities of any one issuer. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must remedy the failure within 30 days or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing qualification as a REIT and

22


suffering adverse tax consequences. To meet these tests, we may be required to take or forgo taking actions that we otherwise would otherwise consider advantageous.  For instance, in order to satisfy the gross income or asset tests applicable to REITs under the Internal Revenue Code, we may be required to forego investments that we otherwise would make.  In addition, we may be required to make distributions to shareholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution.  These actions could have the effect of reducing our income and amounts available for distribution to our shareholders.  Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our investment performance.
Dividends payable by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced U.S. federal income tax rates.
The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for dividends payable by domestic corporations to individual U.S. shareholders is 20%. Dividends payable by REITs, however, are generally not eligible for the reduced rates and therefore maybe subject to a 39.6% maximum U.S. federal individual income tax on ordinary income. The more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate dividends could cause investors who are individuals to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs, including our shares.
We will pay some taxes.
Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will be required to pay some U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes on our income and property, including a 100% penalty tax on any gain recognized on property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. In addition, our taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to U.S. federal, state and local corporate taxes. To the extent that we or our taxable REIT subsidiary is required to pay U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxes, we will have less cash available for distribution to our shareholders.
The ability of our Board of Trustees to revoke our REIT election without shareholder approval may cause adverse consequences to our shareholders.
Our charter provides that our Board of Trustees may revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the approval of our shareholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interests to qualify as a REIT. If we cease to qualify as a REIT, we would become subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income and we would no longer be required to distribute most of our taxable income to our shareholders, which may have adverse consequences on the total return to our shareholders and the value of our shares.
Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect investors.
In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made to the U.S. federal income tax laws applicable to investments similar to an investment in our shares. Additional changes to tax laws are likely to continue to occur in the future, and we cannot assure you that any such changes will not adversely affect the taxation of us or our shareholders. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares or on the market value or the resale potential of our properties.

ITEM 2.
PROPERTIES
Properties
As of December 31, 2014, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 102 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and office properties located in 18 U.S. states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia) and in the United Kingdom, encompassing approximately 25.3 million net rentable square feet. Our consolidated properties were approximately 97.5% leased (based upon rentable square feet) as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, 77 of our consolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 20.6 million rentable square feet.
In addition, we owned, on an unconsolidated basis, 26 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and office properties located in eight U.S. states (Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas) and in three European countries (France, Germany and the United Kingdom) encompassing approximately 12.4 million rentable square feet. Our unconsolidated properties were approximately 99.9% leased (based upon rentable square feet) as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, 20 of our unconsolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 11.5 million rentable square feet.
References to unconsolidated properties include properties owned through unconsolidated joint ventures and do not include properties owned by CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, which is an investment in an unconsolidated entity. See Note 4 "Investments in Unconsolidated Entities" in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the material terms of our unconsolidated joint venture agreements.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company declared and paid monthly dividends of $0.042 per share for the months of October, November and December 2013.
In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we generally must make distributions to our shareholders each year in an amount at least equal to 90% of our REIT taxable income (as determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our distribution policy is subject to revision at the discretion of our Board of Trustees without notice to you or shareholder approval. All distributions will be made by us at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will be based upon out Board of Trustee's evaluation of our assets, operating results, historical and projected cash flows (and source thereof), historical and projected equity offering proceeds from our offerings, historical and projected debt incurred, projected investments and capital requirements, the anticipated timing between receipt of our equity offering proceeds and investment of those proceeds, maintenance of REIT qualifications, applicable provisions of Maryland law, general economic, market and industry conditions, any liquidity event options we may pursue, and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant.
Offerings
On November 6, 2013, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Shelf") with the SEC to register unallocated quantities of:
common shares;

31


preferred shares;
depositary shares representing entitlement to all rights and preferences of fractions of preferred shares of a specified class or series and represented by depositary receipts;
warrants to purchase common shares, preferred shares or depositary shares; and
rights to purchase common shares or preferred shares.
The Shelf was automatically effective upon its filing and will be valid for three years.
On November 6, 2013, we and CSP OP entered into four separate Equity Distribution Agreements with certain sales agents, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, our common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $250.0 million. Sales of our common shares may be made in ordinary brokers' transactions on the NYSE, in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be "at the market" ("ATM") offerings, including sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We may use these proceeds and proceeds from the sale of its debt securities to repay debt, including borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, to make acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties, or for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2014, there have been no sales of common shares under the ATM program.
Unregistered Sales and Repurchases of Securities
We did not sell any unregistered securities or repurchase any equity securities (except for common shared tendered by certain of our employees as set forth in Note 10 "Equity Incentive Plan and Performance Bonus Plan" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements) during the year ended December 31, 2014.
Available Shares
At our annual shareholders' meeting held on May 31, 2013, our shareholders approved the 2013 equity incentive plan. A description of the material terms of the 2013 equity incentive plan, as well as a copy of the 2013 equity incentive plan, were included in our definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 12, 2013. Our key employees, directors, trustees, officers, advisors, consultants or other personnel of ours and our subsidiaries or other persons expected to provide significant services to us or our subsidiaries would be eligible to be granted incentive share options, non-qualified share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards as contemplated in the 2013 equity incentive plan. As of December 31, 2014, there were 4,045,493 common shares available for grant under the 2013 equity incentive plan.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
Information about our equity compensation plan is incorporated by reference in Item 12 of Part III of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains various "forward-looking statements." You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "would," "could," "should," "seeks," "approximately," "intends," "plans," "projects," "estimates" or "anticipates" or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Statements regarding the following subjects may be impacted by a number of risks and uncertainties:
our business strategy;
our ability to obtain future financing arrangements;
estimates relating to our future distributions;
our understanding of our competition;
market trends;
projected capital expenditures;
the impact of technology on our assets, operations and business; and
the use of the proceeds of any offerings of securities.
The forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance, taking into account all information currently available to us. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations are subject to risks and uncertainties and can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. You should carefully consider these risks before you make an investment decision with respect to our common shares of beneficial interest $0.01 par value (the "common shares"), along with the following factors that could cause actual results to vary from our forward-looking statements:
general volatility of the securities markets in which we participate;
national, regional and local economic climates;
changes in supply and demand for industrial and office properties;
adverse changes in the real estate markets, including increasing vacancy, increasing competition and decreasing rental revenue;
availability and credit worthiness of prospective tenants;
our ability to maintain rental rates and maximize occupancy;
our ability to identify and secure acquisitions;
our ability to successfully manage growth and/or operate acquired properties;
our pace of acquisitions and/or dispositions of properties;
risks related to development projects (including construction delay, cost overruns or our inability to obtain necessary permits);
payment of distributions from sources other than cash flows and operating activities;
receiving and maintaining corporate debt ratings and changes in the general interest rate environment;
availability of capital (debt and equity);
our ability to refinance existing indebtedness or incur additional indebtedness;

36


ability to comply with our debt covenants;
unanticipated increases in financing and other costs, including a rise in interest rates;
the actual outcome of the resolution of any conflict;
material adverse actions or omissions by any of our joint venture partners;
our ability to operate as a self-managed company;
availability of and ability to retain our executive officers and other qualified personnel;
future terrorist attacks or epidemics in the United States or abroad;
the ability of CSP OP to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
our ability to qualify as a real estate investment trust (a "REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
foreign currency fluctuations;
changes to accounting principles and policies and guidelines applicable to REITs;
legislative or regulatory changes adversely affecting REITs and the real estate business;
environmental, regulatory and/or safety requirements; and
other factors discussed under Item 1A Risk Factors of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and those factors that may be contained in any filing we make with the SEC, Including Part II, Item 1A of Form 10-Q filings.
Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results, performance or transactions, see Item 1A. "Risk Factors."
Overview
We are a self-administered REIT focused on acquiring, owning and managing net leased industrial and office properties leased to creditworthy tenants. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We operate in an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which our operating partnership, CSP Operating Partnership, LP ("CSP OP"), indirectly owns all of our consolidated properties and all of our interests in our unconsolidated properties, and we are the 100% owner and sole general partner.
We were formed in Maryland on March 30, 2004 and commenced operations in July 2004 following an initial private placement of our common shares. Since the company was established, we have raised equity capital of approximately $2.5 billion in gross proceeds through two public offerings of our common shares to finance our real estate investment activities.
Prior to July 1, 2012, all of our business activities were managed by the former investment advisor pursuant to advisory agreements. On July 1, 2012, we became a self-managed company and changed our name from CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust to Chambers Street Properties in accordance with a plan determined by our Board of Trustees. In addition, as of April 30, 2013, the transitional services agreement with CSP OP ("Transitional Services Agreement") and the former investment advisor that we had entered into as part of our transition to a self-managed company ended and we became fully responsible for the management of our day-to-day operations.
On May 21, 2013, we listed our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "CSG" (the "Listing") and concurrently commenced a modified "Dutch Auction" tender offer to purchase up to $125.0 million in value of the common shares (the "Tender Offer") from our shareholders, which was completed on June 26, 2013.
As of December 31, 2014, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 102 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and office properties located in 18 U.S. states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia) and in the United Kingdom, encompassing approximately 25.3 million net rentable square feet. Our consolidated properties were approximately 97.5% leased (based upon rentable square feet) as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, 77 of our consolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 20.6 million rentable square feet.

37


In addition, we owned, on an unconsolidated basis, 26 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and office properties located in eight U.S. states (Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas) and in three European countries (France, Germany and the United Kingdom) encompassing approximately 12.4 million rentable square feet. Our unconsolidated properties were approximately 99.9% leased (based upon rentable square feet) as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, 20 of our unconsolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 11.5 million rentable square feet.
Business Strategy
We focus on investing in industrial and office properties that are primarily net leased to investment grade or creditworthy tenants on long-term leases through acquisitions of existing properties or build-to-suit projects. We believe the credit quality of many of our tenants, the length of our leases, the relatively modest capital expense requirements of our industrial properties and our single-tenant focus help us to enhance shareholder value. We monitor the credit of our tenants to stay abreast of any material changes in credit quality. We monitor tenant credit by (1) reviewing the credit ratings of tenants (or their parent companies) that are rated by nationally recognized rating agencies, (2) reviewing financial statements that are publicly available or that are required to be delivered to us under the applicable lease, (3) monitoring news reports regarding our tenants and their underlying businesses and (4) monitoring the timeliness of rent collections. We also believe that our senior management team's extensive experience will allow us to identify and consummate the acquisition and development of high-quality net leased properties. Our strategy is to grow our portfolio with properties targeted to provide steady income, sustaining tenant relationships and enhancing the value of our existing properties. We continue to execute our strategy and expand our portfolio through the following:
Acquisitions. We believe high-quality industrial and office properties, which are net leased to tenants with strong credit profiles, represent attractive investments. We target acquisitions in markets with above-average projected rental growth, strong tenant demand and significant barriers to new construction. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we continued to expand our portfolio with the purchase of seven wholly owned industrial properties for $203.6 million, each of which is fully leased to a creditworthy tenant.
Build-to-Suit Opportunities. We also intend to pursue build-to-suit opportunities that have attractive development yields and leased to tenants with strong credit profiles on a long-term basis.
Maximize Cash Flow Through Internal Growth. We seek investments with fixed rent escalations over long term leases that provide stable, increasing cash flow. We have typically structured our property acquisitions to achieve a positive spread between our cost of capital and the yields achieved on our investments. A majority of our existing leases have embedded rental rate growth as they provide for periodic increases in rent.
Capital Recycling. We intend to pursue a disciplined capital allocation strategy by selectively disposing of properties that are no longer consistent with our investment strategy or whose returns appear to have been maximized. To the extent that we dispose of properties, we intend to redeploy the capital into investment opportunities that we believe are more attractive or to reduce debt. During the year ended December 31, 2014, consistent with our investment strategy to dispose of non-core office assets, we sold three office properties for approximately $64.7 million and we also sold our last retail property located in the United Kingdom for approximately $63.0 million. The sale of this asset represents the completion of our exit from retail properties. In addition, we also sold four multi-tenant office properties held in the Duke JV for approximately $71.8 million, of which our pro rata share was approximately $57.4 million.
Actively Manage a Strong and Flexible Capital Structure. We expect to maintain a prudent capital structure with access to multiple sources of equity and debt financing. We continue to stagger our debt maturities and utilize a balance of secured and unsecured borrowings. We continue to have a mix of fixed and floating-rate debt and intend to maintain modest total leverage. As a means to reduce our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, we endeavor to retain debt in the local currency of our international properties.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we completed the following activities in order to maintain a prudent capital structure:
On January 2, 2014, we paid off the notes payable secured by Avion Midrise III and IV in the amount of $20.0 million.
On January 7, 2014, we obtained a BBB- corporate rating from Standard and Poor's Rating Services ("S&P"). S&P also gave us a stable outlook, reflecting our high-quality real estate portfolio and selective acquisition strategy, which S&P believes will support solid revenue and earnings growth in the near future.
On July 1, 2014, we paid off the notes payable secured by 12650 Ingenuity Drive, a property we sold in November 2014, in the amount of $11.6 million prior to its maturity date of October 1, 2014.
On July 23, 2014, in connection with the sale of Maskew Retail Park, we paid off the secured notes payable of $23.8 million and terminated the related swap agreement.

38


On July 31, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of 1 Rocket Road, we assumed secured debt with an outstanding principal balance of $18.7 million and a premium balance of $2.6 million.
On November 6, 2014, we paid off the notes payable secured by Bolingbrook Point III in the amount of $7.9 million prior to its maturity date of January 1, 2015.
On December 16, 2014, in connection with the sale of Deerfield Commons, we paid off the secured notes payable of $9.1 million.
In addition, on February 2, 2015, we paid off the notes payable secured by One Wayside Road in the amount of $23.8 million prior to their maturity dates of August 1, 2015.
Factors that May Influence the Results of Operations
Economic conditions, leasing activity and real estate capital availability all continued to improve through 2013 and 2014. Industrial leasing activity has strengthened over the past few years with the improvement in economic drivers such as employment, industrial production, international trading volumes and consumer confidence. Office leasing activity is also improving with recovering employment, beginning in the tech and energy sectors, and now broadening across other sectors including business and financial services, and healthcare. Whereas industrial and office leasing activity in the immediately preceding years was substantially weighted toward large corporate tenants, starting in 2013 and continuing into 2014, activity trended towards normalization in the market for smaller tenants.
In concert with this leasing activity, market rent trends remain positive in most major markets. Driven by market rent growth and investor demand, construction and development activity has begun to increase, including both single-tenant build-to-suit and speculative projects. Beginning in 2013, we observed speculative construction activity expanding to a wider selection of markets, although development still remains below long-term averages.
Debt and equity capital availability for commercial real estate investment continued to improve during 2013 and 2014, resulting in increasing competition to acquire properties. Even with this increased competition, we believe we remain well positioned to acquire properties that fit our investment parameters, due to our strong liquidity position, modest near-term capital needs and excellent portfolio. We intend to continue to focus our strategy on enhancing the value of our existing properties, sustaining our tenant relationships, and growing our portfolio by continuing to selectively acquire high-quality and well-leased properties.

Tenant Lease Expirations
Our ability to maintain occupancy rates and net effective rents primarily depends upon our continuing ability to re-lease expiring space. We have limited near term lease expirations with an average remaining lease term of 6.48 years as of December 31, 2014. In addition, approximately 87.0% of our base rent is scheduled to expire after 2016. The following table sets forth a schedule of expiring leases for our consolidated and unconsolidated properties as of December 31, 2014 (Expiring Net Rentable Square Feet and Expiring Base Rent in thousands):

Triple Net Single-Tenant Properties include certain properties that have minimal secondary tenant(s).
The leases scheduled to expire in 2015 and 2016 represent approximately 3.1 million rentable square feet or 12.9% of our total expiring base rent. We believe that, on average, the current market rental rates are approximately 17% below the expiring cash rental rates and approximately 3% above the expiring GAAP rental rates for leases scheduled to expire during 2015 and 2016, although individual properties within any particular market presently may be leased either above, below, or at the current quoted market rates within that market, and the average rental rates for individual markets may be above, below, or at the average cash rental rate of our overall portfolio. Our ability to re-lease available space depends upon both general market conditions and the market conditions in the specific regions in which individual properties are located.

Critical Accounting Policies
Management believes our most critical accounting policies are accounting for lease revenues (including straight-line rent), regular evaluation of whether the value of a real estate asset has been impaired, real estate purchase price allocations and accounting for our derivatives and hedging activities and fair value of financial instruments and investment, if any. Each of these items involves estimates that require management to make judgments that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical data and current market data, and analyzes these assumptions in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. Under different conditions or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported related to the accounting policies described below. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments on the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Receivables
All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is recorded as deferred rent. In connection with various leases, we have received irrevocable stand-by letters of credit totaling $20.3 million and $14.5 million as security for such leases at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Reimbursements from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable costs, are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis when we are the primary obligor with respect to incurring expenses and with respect to having the credit risk.
In addition, rental revenue is impacted by management’s evaluation of whether we or the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements. The determination of whether we are or the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes is subject to significant judgment. When we conclude that we are not the owner and the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record our contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which is amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease, and rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the space.
Tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible current tenant receivables and deferred rent. Management's determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, individual receivables, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The allowances are increased or decreased through the provision for bad debts. The allowance for uncollectible rent receivable was approximately $62,000 and $24,000 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Investments in Real Estate and Related Long-Lived Assets (Impairment Evaluation)
We record investments in real estate at cost and capitalize improvements and replacements when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. We expense costs of repairs and maintenance as incurred. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of our real estate assets, which we expect to be approximately 39 years for buildings and improvements, three to five years for equipment and fixtures and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because, if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis throughout the expected useful lives of the related assets.
When circumstances such as adverse market conditions indicate a possible impairment of the value of a property, we review the recoverability of the property's carrying value. The review of recoverability is based on our estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property's use and eventual disposition. Our forecast of these cash flows considers factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. These factors contain subjectivity and thus are not able to be precisely estimated. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property, which may be below the balance of any non-recourse mortgage financing. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of our investments in real estate.

44


We assess whether there has been impairment in the value of our consolidated and unconsolidated long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset group identified for step two testing is based on either the income approach with market discount rate, terminal capitalization rate and rental rate assumptions being most critical, or on the sales comparison approach to similar properties. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.
Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate
We apply the business combination method to all acquired real estate investments. The purchase consideration of the real estate is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, site improvements, building and tenant improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases, value of tenant relationships and acquired ground leases, based in each case on their fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market loans, will be recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the "as-if-vacant" value is then allocated to all land (or acquired ground lease if the land is subject to a ground lease) and site improvements based on management's determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property by underwriting the property as if it were vacant and subsequently re-leased at the market. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses associated with the property. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions and tenant improvements.
In allocating the purchase consideration of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases; and (ii) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease and, for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized below-market lease values, also referred to as acquired lease obligations, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial terms of the respective leases and any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a decrease to rental income over the initial terms of the prospective leases.
The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, is measured by the estimated cost of operations during a theoretical lease-up period to replace in-place leases, including lost revenues and any unreimbursed operating expenses, plus an estimate of deferred leasing commissions for in-place leases. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease value and tenant relationships based on management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value for the real estate acquired as such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for these particular acquisitions. Should future acquisitions of properties result in allocating material amounts to the value of tenant relationships, an amount would be separately allocated and amortized over the estimated life of the relationship. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written-off.
Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities
All of our derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. We periodically review the effectiveness of each hedging transaction, which involves estimating future cash flows. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity. Calculation of a fair value

45


of derivative instruments also requires management to use estimates. Amounts will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. The changes in fair value hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities, with the corresponding amount recorded in current period earnings. As of December 31, 2014, all of our interest rate swap derivatives were designated as qualifying cash flow hedges and follow the accounting treatment discussed above.
We disclose the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. We also provide more information about our liquidity by disclosing derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, we cross-reference within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments; see Note 7 "Risk Management and Use of Financial Instruments" and Note 12 "Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments" for a further discussion of our derivative financial instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments
We generally determine or calculate the fair value of financial instruments using the appropriate present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating available market discount rate information for similar types of instruments and our estimates for non-performance and liquidity risk. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flow. The Investment Manager of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia applies valuation techniques for our investment carried at fair value based upon the application of the income approach, the direct market comparison approach, the replacement cost approach or third party appraisals to the underlying assets held in the unconsolidated entity in determining the net asset value attributable to our ownership interest therein. The financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated financial statements are the interest rate swaps and our investment in CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners Asia II-A, L.P. ("CBRE Strategic Partners Asia") (a real estate entity which qualifies as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, with respect to its accounting treatment).
The remaining financial assets and liabilities which are only disclosed at fair value are comprised of all other notes payable, the unsecured line of credit and other debt instruments. We determined the fair value of our secured notes payable and other debt instruments by performing discounted cash flow analyses using an appropriate market discount rate. We calculate the market discount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or London Inter-Bank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") rates for variable-rate debt, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our debt and then adding an appropriate credit spread derived from information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit standing, the maturity of the debt, whether the debt is secured or unsecured, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

Net Operating Income
Management internally evaluates the operating performance and financial results of our property portfolio based on Net Operating Income. We define "Net Operating Income" as: rental income, tenant reimbursements and other property income less property and related expenses (operating and maintenance and real estate taxes) and excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and corporate general and administrative expenses. Property operating expenses include insurance, property management, repairs and maintenance, security, janitorial, landscaping and other administrative expenses incurred to operate our properties. Corporate general and administrative expenses represent costs unrelated to property operations or transaction costs. These expenses primarily include corporate office expenses, employee compensation and benefits as well as costs of being a public company including certain audit fees, regulatory fees, legal costs and other professional fees.
Net Operating Income is considered by our management to be an important and appropriate supplemental performance measure to net income (loss) because we believe it helps both investors and management to understand the core operations of our properties excluding

47


corporate and financing related costs and non-cash depreciation and amortization. Net Operating Income is an unlevered operating performance metric of our properties and allows for a useful comparison of the operating performance of individual assets or groups of assets. This measure thereby provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income (loss) from operations or net income (loss). In addition, Net Operating Income is considered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful starting point for determining the value of a real estate asset or group of assets. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating Net Operating Income, and accordingly, our presentation of Net Operating Income may not be comparable to other real estate companies. Because of the exclusion of the items shown in the reconciliation below, Net Operating Income should only be used as a supplemental measure of our financial performance and not as an alternative to GAAP income (loss) from operations or net income (loss).

Net Operating Income
Net Operating Income increased $14.5 million, or 8.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily as a result of:
An increase in revenues of $21.7 million which is primarily due to:
an increase of $21.5 million from our Acquisition Office and Acquisition Industrial Properties (collectively the "Acquisition Properties"):
an increase of $14.8 million and $5.7 million from rental revenue and tenant reimbursements, respectively; and
an increase of $1.1 million from our Acquisition Office Properties due to lease termination fees included in other property income;
The increase in revenues are offset by an increase of $7.1 million in property operating expenses and real estate taxes primarily due to:
an increase of $6.3 million from our Acquisition Properties; and
a net increase of $1.0 million from our Same Office Properties and Same Industrial Properties (collectively the "Same Properties") which is primarily comprised of:
an increase of $1.2 million in property operating expenses and real estate taxes in our Same Office Properties, which is partially due to a $0.8 million increase in real estate taxes in 2014 at our 90 Hudson property (there is a partial offsetting increase in tenant reimbursement revenue for this amount)
a decrease of $0.3 million primarily due to a reduction in real estate taxes in our Same Industrial Properties, which is driven by vacancies in our 300 Constitution and North Rhett I properties. North Rhett I was re-leased during the latter half of 2014, with the new tenant taking occupancy in early 2015.
An offsetting decrease of $1.8 million from the Other Properties, which consisted of properties sold during 2014. Due to the early adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 during the year ended December 31, 2014, these properties remained classified within continuing operations for all periods presented.
Other Expenses and Income
General and Administrative and Investment Management Fee
General and administrative expense increased $8.2 million, or 35.4%, to $31.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $23.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The net increase was primarily due to $6.5 million for severance expenses and an increase in payroll and administrative costs associated with the growth of the Company.
Our increase in general and administrative expenses was offset by a reduction of $0.5 million in investment management fees due to the termination of the Transitional Services Agreement.
Acquisition-Related
Acquisition-related expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 15.5%, to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was due to fewer properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the amount acquired during the same period in 2013.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $6.5 million, or 6.3%, to $109.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $102.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to the properties acquired or consolidated during 2014 and 2013.

50


Impairment of Real Estate
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized an impairment of $27.6 million attributable to our 70 Hudson Street property. There was no impairment of real estate during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Transition and Listing
Transition expenses from being an externally managed company to a self-managed company ("Transition Costs") were primarily incurred in 2012 during our transition to self-management. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred $11.9 million of expenses in connection with the Listing and the completion of the Tender Offer.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income decreased $0.7 million, or 50.6%, to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $8.0 million, or 16.9%, to $55.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $47.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily as a result of an increase in our weighted average outstanding debt balance.
Interest Expense and Net Change in Fair Value of Non-Qualifying Derivative Financial Instruments
During the year ended December 31, 2013, our derivative instruments incurred a gain of $0.6 million, which was primarily attributable to the gain on fair value on interest rate swaps for the TD and Wells Fargo term loans during the period when they were not designated as hedging instruments. All of the Company's derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting treatment as of December 31, 2014.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we had a gain of $21.2 million related to the sale of our four office and retail properties during the year ended December 31, 2014.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million attributable to the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the Deerfield Commons disposition. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million, which was primarily attributable to the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the WF Term Loan #3 that replaced the WF Term Loan #1.
Gain on Conversion of Equity Interest to Controlling Interest
During the year ended December 31, 2013, gain on conversion of equity interest to controlling interest was $75.8 million, which was attributable to our acquisition of Duke Realty's 20% interest in 17 properties held by the Duke JV.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Entities
Equity in income of unconsolidated entities increased $16.7 million, or 138.0%, to $28.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to our pro rata gain on the sale of the three Duke JV office properties during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Net Operating Income
Net Operating Income increased $46.1 million, or 34.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012 primarily as a result of:
An increase in revenues of $71.2 million which is primarily due to:
an increase of $72.2 million from our Acquisition Properties;
partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease due to early 2013 tenant move-outs at our 300 Constitution and North Rhett 1 properties
The increase in revenues are offset by an increase of $25.1 million in property operating expenses and real estate taxes primarily due to:
an increase of $24.3 million from our Acquisition Properties; and
a net increase of $0.9 million from our Same Properties which is primarily comprised of:
an increase of $1.4 million primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes in our Same Industrial Properties, which is partially due to a $1.1 million increase in real estate taxes in 2013 at our 2400 Dralle Road property (there is a offsetting increase in tenant reimbursement revenue for this amount); and
an offsetting decrease of $0.6 million in property operating expenses and real estate taxes in our Same Office Properties, which is partially due to a $1.0 million decrease in property operating expenses in 2013 at our 70 and 90 Hudson property (there is a partial offsetting decrease in tenant reimbursement revenue for this amount)
An increase of $0.1 million from the Other Properties, which consist of properties sold during 2014. Due to the early adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 during the year ended December 31, 2014, these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented.
Other Expenses and Income
General and Administrative and Investment Management Fee
General and administrative expense increased $8.5 million, or 57.8%, to $23.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the internalization of management as of July 1, 2012 as we now incur expenses for services previously provided by the former investment advisor. Expenses for services previously provided by our former investment advisor are now included in General and administrative expenses. These services include employee salaries and benefits, various information technology costs and occupancy costs.
Our increase in general and administrative expenses is offset by a reduction of $29.2 million in investment management fees due to the termination of the Transitional Services Agreement with the former investment advisor.
Acquisition-Related
Acquisition-related expenses decreased $5.1 million, or 65.3%, to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction of $3.2 million in acquisition fees paid to the former investment advisor during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $30.4 million, or 42.0%, to $102.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $72.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the properties acquired or consolidated during 2013 and 2012.

54


Transition and Listing Expenses
Transition and Listing expenses increased $4.4 million, or 53.7%, to $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Transition costs were primarily incurred in 2012 during our transition to self-management. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred $12.0 million of expenses in connection with the Listing and the completion of the Tender Offer. We do not anticipate incurring any further listing costs in future periods.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income decreased $0.9 million, or 40.9%, to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $13.5 million, or 39.7%, to $47.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $33.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 primarily as a result of an increase in our weighted average outstanding debt balance in the current year period partially offset by a reduction in the weighted average interest rate. The increase in our weighted average debt outstanding balance was due to the March 2013 assumption of $229.5 million (amount is inclusive of a premium) of mortgage debt secured by the 17 properties in which we acquired our joint venture partner's remaining ownership interest (the "Duke Portfolio"). We also borrowed $570.0 million under our new unsecured term loan facilities in 2013.
Interest Expense and Net Change in Fair Value of Non-Qualifying Derivative Financial Instruments
During the year ended December 31, 2013, our derivative instruments incurred a gain of $0.6 million compared to $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to the gain on fair value on interest rate swaps on the TD and Wells Fargo term loans during the period when these were not designated as hedging instruments.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million compared to $17.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The loss on early extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2013 was primarily attributable to the non-cash write-off of deferred financing costs related to the WF Term Loan #3 that replaced the WF Term Loan #1. The loss on early extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2012 was primarily attributable to the replacement of our revolving credit facility and the early repayment of secured notes payable (and termination of associated swaps) in the prior year period.
Gain on Conversion of Equity Interest to Controlling Interest
During the year ended December 31, 2013, gain on conversion of equity investment to controlling interest was $75.8 million, which was attributable to the purchase of the Duke Portfolio. There was no gain on conversion of equity investment to controlling interest during the year ended December 31, 2012.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Entities
Equity in income of unconsolidated entities increased $8.2 million, or 205.9%, to $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to our pro rata gain on the sale of the Afton Ridge Shopping Center of $3.3 million as well as the improved performance of the Duke JV.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Liquidity is a measurement of the ability to meet cash requirements, which principally include funding investments and ongoing commitments, to repay borrowings, to make distributions to our shareholders and other general business needs. Our sources of funds will primarily be property operating cash flows, borrowings, including under our unsecured revolving credit facility, term loans or other forms of secured or unsecured financing that we may enter into from time to time, and net proceeds from divestitures of properties. Additionally, we expect other financing opportunities could provide additional sources of funds, including the issuance of common equity (through our at-the-market offering program or otherwise), preferred equity or debt securities. Our ability to raise funds is dependent on general economic conditions, general market conditions for REITs, and our operating performance. We believe that these cash resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash

55


requirements and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from other than these sources within the next twelve months. We believe that we have sufficient cash flow from operations to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future. From time to time, we may consider strategic transactions, which may include a sale, merger, acquisition or other form of business combination or recapitalization.
While we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain liquidity needs, there may be unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which would affect our financial condition and results of operations. For example, we may be required to comply with new laws or regulations that cause us to incur unanticipated capital expenditures for our properties, thereby increasing our liquidity needs. Even if there are no material changes to our anticipated liquidity requirements, our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or needed. As of December 31, 2014, we had $40.1 million in cash as well as approximately$650.0 million available under our unsecured revolving credit facility. Of the $40.1 million in cash, approximately $1.7 million is held in a financial institution in the United Kingdom.
Net Cash Flow from Operations
Cash flow from operations is our primary source of liquidity and is dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent and operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating and other costs. The properties in our portfolio are primarily located in markets throughout the United States. Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters in these markets may affect our overall performance.
Unsecured Term Loan Facilities
We intend to enter into unsecured term loan facilities from time to time for general corporate purposes, to fund potential acquisitions and to potentially repay long-term debt.

(1)
Number of Properties at 100%. Approximate Acquisition Cost and Debt Balance for Unconsolidated Properties is at our pro rata share of effective ownership. Does not include our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia.
Depending on market conditions, our debt financing may be as much as approximately 65% of the value of the cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. The amount of debt we place on an individual property, or the amount of debt incurred by an individual entity in which we invest, may be more or less than 65% of the value of such property or the value of the assets owned by such entity, depending on market conditions and other factors.
In fact, depending on market conditions and other factors, we may choose not to place debt on our portfolio or our assets and may choose not to borrow to finance our operations or to acquire properties. Any indebtedness we do incur will likely be subject to continuing covenants, and we will likely be required to make continuing representations and warranties in connection with such debt. Moreover, some or all of our debt may be secured by some or all of our assets. If we default in the payment of interest or principal on any such debt, breach any representation or warranty in connection with any borrowing or violate any covenant in any loan document, our lender may accelerate the maturity of such debt requiring us to immediately repay all outstanding principal. If we are unable to make such payment, our lender could foreclose on our assets that are pledged as collateral to such lender. The lender could also sue us or force us into bankruptcy.
Debt Covenants and Restrictions
As of December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants. See Note 6 "Debt" in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

At-The-Market Offering
On November 6, 2013, we and CSP OP entered into four separate Equity Distribution Agreements with certain sales agents, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, our common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $250.0 million. Sales of our common shares may be made in ordinary brokers' transactions on the NYSE, in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be "at the market" ("ATM") offerings, including sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We may use these proceeds and proceeds from the sale of its debt securities to repay debt, including borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, to make acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties, or for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2014, there have been no sales of common shares under the ATM program.
Shelf Registration
On November 6, 2013, we filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Security Exchange Commission that may permit us, from time to time, to facilitate public offerings of our securities. We evaluate the capital markets on an ongoing basis for opportunities to raise capital, and, as circumstances warrant, we may issue securities of all of these types in one or more offerings at any time and from time to time on an opportunistic basis, depending upon, among other things, market conditions, available pricing and capital needs. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any such offerings of securities. We may use these proceeds to repay debt, including borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, to make acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties, or for general corporate purposes.
Sale of Real Estate Properties
We regularly work to identify, consider and pursue opportunities to dispose of non-strategic properties on an opportunistic basis with the intent of using the proceeds generated from the dispositions to fund new strategic acquisitions, to repay long-term debt and for other general corporate purposes. The timing of any potential future dispositions will depend on market conditions and our capital needs. Our ability to dispose of such properties on favorable terms, or at all, is dependent upon a number of factors including the availability of credit to potential buyers to purchase properties at prices that we consider acceptable.
Transactions with Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Transactions with unconsolidated joint ventures also provide a source of liquidity. Our unconsolidated joint ventures will from time to time obtain debt financing or sell properties and will then distribute to us, and our joint venture partners, all or a portion of the proceeds from such transactions.

Other Capital Commitments
As of December 31, 2014, we anticipate spending $21.7 million in the next twelve months for tenant improvements and lease commissions related to our consolidated properties.
Distribution Policy
We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income that we distribute currently to our shareholders. Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Internal Revenue Code"), REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they generally distribute at least 90% of their annual net taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to their shareholders. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any year, our income will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following our failure to qualify.
In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we generally must make distributions to our shareholders each year in an amount at least equal to 90% of our REIT taxable income (as determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our distribution policy is subject to revision at the discretion of our Board of Trustees without notice to you or shareholder approval. All distributions will be made by us at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will be based upon out Board of Trustee's evaluation of our assets, operating results, historical and projected cash flows (and source thereof), historical and projected equity offering proceeds from our offerings, historical and projected debt incurred, projected investments and capital requirements, the anticipated timing between

60


receipt of our equity offering proceeds and investment of those proceeds, maintenance of REIT qualifications, applicable provisions of Maryland law, general economic, market and industry conditions, and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant.
It is anticipated that distributions generally will be taxable as ordinary income to our shareholders, although a portion of such distributions may be designated by us as a return of capital or as capital gain. We will furnish annually to each of our shareholders a statement setting forth distributions paid during the preceding year and their characterization as ordinary income, return of capital or capital gains.
The following table presents total distributions declared and paid and distributions per share as well as the source of payment of such distributions, for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The October dividend was paid on November 7, 2014 to all shareholders of record on October 30, 2014, the November dividend was paid on December 8, 2014 to all shareholders of record on November 26, 2014, and the December dividend was paid on January 7, 2015 to all shareholders of record on December 30, 2014.
On October 27, 2014, our Board of Trustees approved a monthly distribution of $0.0425 per common share for each of the months of January, February and March of 2015. The January dividend was paid on February 6, 2015 to all shareholders of record on January 30, 2015, the February dividend will be paid on March 6, 2015 to all shareholders of record on February 27, 2015, and the March dividend will be paid on April 8, 2015 to all shareholders of record on March 31, 2015.
On February 20, 2015, our Board of Trustees approved a monthly distribution of $0.0425 per common share for each of the months of April, May and June of 2015. The April dividend will be paid on May 8, 2015 to all shareholders of record on April 30, 2015, the May dividend will be paid on June 8, 2015 to all shareholders of record on May 29, 2015, and the June dividend will be paid on July 9, 2015 to all shareholders of record on June 30, 2015.
Historical Cash Flows
Our net cash provided by operating activities increased by $29.1 million to $161.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $132.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to Net Operating Income generated by the properties acquired or consolidated since January 1, 2013. In addition, we paid expenses to our former investment advisor during the year ended December 31, 2013 that were accrued for as of December 31, 2012.
Net cash used in investing activities was $24.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $271.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to proceeds of $122.8 million received from the sale of our four office properties and $58.3 million of distributions received due to the sale of four office properties through the Duke JV and the partial sale of a property

61


through CBRE Strategic Partners Asia which offset the increase of $63.8 million paid for acquisitions during the current period as compared to the prior year period. In addition, we also made contributions to our unconsolidated entities to repay various notes payable secured by properties held within the joint ventures in the prior year period.
Net cash used in financing activities increased by $294.0 million to $179.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $114.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we received $570.0 million from borrowings under our unsecured term loan facilities offset by $172.4 million paid to complete our Tender Offer.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2014, we had four Investments in Unconsolidated Entities: (i) a 5.07% ownership interest in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia; (ii) an 80% ownership interest in the Duke JV; (iii) an 80% ownership interest in the Goodman Princeton Holdings (Jersey) Limited joint venture (the "UK JV"); and (iv) an 80% ownership interest in the Goodman Princeton Holdings (LUX) SARL joint venture (the "European JV"). Our investments are discussed in Note 4, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements "Investments in Unconsolidated Entities."
Inflation
The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past several years due to the relatively low inflation rate. We expect to include provisions in the majority of our tenant leases designed to protect us from the impact of inflation. We expect these provisions will include reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain allowance. Due to the generally long-term nature of these leases, annual rent increases may not be sufficient to cover inflation and rent may be below market.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures: FFO, Core FFO and AFFO
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors consider presentations of operating results for REITs that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. Consequently, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, created Funds from Operations, or FFO, as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance.
FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net income. FFO, as we define it, is presented as a supplemental financial measure. Management believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of REIT performance. FFO does not present, nor do we intend for it to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and/or operating performance. We believe that net income, as computed under GAAP, appropriately remains the primary measure of our performance and that FFO, when considered in conjunction with net income, improves the investing public's understanding of the operating results of REITs and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful.
We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. Modifications to the NAREIT calculation of FFO are common among REITs, as companies seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their business and provide greater transparency to the investing public as to how the management team considers their results of operations. As a result, our FFO may not be comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. The revised NAREIT White Paper on FFO defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, impairment charges and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Management believes that NAREIT's definition of FFO reflects the fact that real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time, and that depreciation charges required by GAAP do not always reflect the underlying economic realities. Likewise, the exclusion from NAREIT's definition of FFO of impairment charges and gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT's activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Thus, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. Management also believes that FFO provides useful information to the investment community about our financial performance when compared to other REITs, since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs.

62


However, changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that have been put into effect since the establishment of NAREIT's definition of FFO have prompted an increase in the non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO. We calculate Core FFO as FFO exclusive of the net effects of acquisition costs, interest rate swap gains/losses, transition and listing costs, and unrealized gain/loss in investments in unconsolidated entities. Core FFO is a useful measure to management's decision-making process. As discussed below, period to period fluctuations in the excluded items can be driven by short-term factors that are not particularly relevant to our long-term investment decisions, long-term capital structures or long-term tax planning and tax structuring decisions.
We believe that Core FFO appropriately presents our results of operations on a comparative basis. The items that we exclude from net income are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause both positive and negative effects on our results of operations, often in inconsistent and unpredictable directions. For example, our acquisition costs are primarily the result of the volume of our acquisitions completed during each period, and therefore we believe such acquisition costs are not reflective of our operating results during each period. Similarly, unrealized gains or losses that we have recognized during a given period are based primarily upon changes in the estimated fair market value of certain of our investments due to changes in market conditions and do not necessarily reflect the operating performance of these properties during the corresponding period. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company began the process of transitioning from being an externally managed company to a self-managed company and we believe the costs incurred to accomplish this transition involve many costs which are being excluded to arrive at Core FFO. Lastly, we incurred certain costs during the year ended December 31, 2013, in connection with the Listing and the Tender Offer and believe the costs incurred should also be excluded to arrive at Core FFO.
We believe that Core FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We believe that adjusting FFO to exclude acquisition costs provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time, including if we cease to acquire properties on a frequent and regular basis and allows for a comparison of the performance of our portfolio with other REITs that are not currently engaging in acquisitions. We also believe that Core FFO may provide investors with a useful indication of our future performance, and of the sustainability of our current distribution policy. However, because Core FFO excludes acquisition costs, which are important components in an analysis of our historical performance, such supplemental measure should not be construed as a historical performance measure and may not be as useful a measure for estimating the value of our common shares.
We calculate AFFO as Core FFO exclusive of the net effects of (i) amortization associated with deferred financings costs; (ii) amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles; (iii) amortization of premium on notes payable; (iv) amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant improvements, (v) deferred income taxes; (vi) share-based and other non-cash compensation expense; (vii) deferred straight-line rental revenue; and (viii) recurring capital expenditures.
FFO, Core FFO and AFFO measure cash generated from operating activities not in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to (i) net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as indications of our financial performance, or (ii) to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, each of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Not all REITs calculate FFO, Core FFO and AFFO (or an equivalent measure), in the same manner and therefore comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.

Charles Black, Mark Brugger, James Francis, James Orphanides and Louis Salvatore, were awarded restricted share units ("RSUs") under the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan on the following terms: (i) (y) Mr. Black was awarded 20,000 RSUs, and (z) Messrs. Brugger, Francis, Orphanides and Salvatore each were awarded 5,000 RSUs; and (ii) each award is subject to a mandatory deferral program. Pursuant to the mandatory deferral program, each RSU entitles a holder to receive one common share upon the earlier of (i) the sixth month anniversary of the holder's separation of service from the Company, and (ii) a change in control of the Company. Each RSU also entitles a holder to receive an amount equal to the dividends paid on one common share.
On January 23, 2015, the Duke JV sold an office property located in Raleigh, North Carolina for approximately $20.6 million, of which our pro rata share was approximately $16.4 million.
On February 2, 2015, we paid off the notes payable secured by One Wayside Road in the amount of $23.8 million prior to their maturity dates of August 1, 2015.
On February 10, 2015, we acquired a 11.8 acre undeveloped parcel in Goodyear, Arizona for a price of $1.7 million.
On February 20, 2015, our Board of Trustees approved a monthly distribution of $0.0425 per common share for each of the months of April, May and June of 2015. The April dividend will be paid on May 8, 2015 to all shareholders of record on April 30, 2015, the May dividend will be paid on June 8, 2015 to all shareholders of record on May 29, 2015, and the June dividend will be paid on July 9, 2015 to all shareholders of record on June 30, 2015.
ITEM 7A.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES AND ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we expect that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk.
We may be exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion 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 and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we will borrow at fixed rates or variable rates and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. To illustrate the effect of movements in the interest rate markets, we performed a market sensitivity analysis on our outstanding hedging instruments. We applied various basis point spreads to the underlying interest rate curves of the derivative portfolio in order to determine the instruments’ change in fair value. The following tables summarize the results of the analysis performed for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (amounts in thousands):

Based on three month GBP-based LIBOR BBA Index with variable rate reset dates every 90 days during the term of the swaps.
The estimated fair value of our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is most sensitive to changes in capitalization rates for commercial properties in large urban areas in China, and among other factors, is also sensitive to currency exchange rate fluctuations and changes in the interest rates of China and the U.S., respectively. Decreases in capitalization rates and increases in interest rates generally increase the value of our investments. Changes in currency exchanges rates where the U.S. Dollar increases in value against the Chinese Yuan generally decrease the value of our investments.
Upon the maturity of our debt, there is a market risk as to the prevailing rates at the time of refinancing. Changes in market rates on our fixed-rate debt affect the fair market value of our debt but it has no impact on interest expense or cash flow. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on our fixed rate debt would not increase or decrease our annual interest expense on our fixed rate debt.
A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease the fair market value of our notes payable and unsecured term loan facilities by $40.0 million at December 31, 2014.
In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our real estate is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have formally adopted a policy for disclosure controls and procedures that provides guidance on the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and is designed to ensure that all corporate disclosure is complete and accurate in all material respects and that all information required to be disclosed in the periodic reports submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods and in the manner specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only

66


reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, as required by the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13(a)-15(e), our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f), including maintenance of (i) records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, and (ii) policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, (b) our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our Board of Trustees and (c) we will prevent or timely detect unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of the inherent limitations of any system of internal control. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses of judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper overriding of controls. As a result of such limitations, there is risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014. The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
No changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and the Stockholders of
Chambers Street Properties
Princeton, New Jersey
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Chambers Street Properties and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2014, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 of the Company and our report dated March 2, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and the Stockholders of
Chambers Street Properties
Princeton, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chambers Street Properties and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Duke/Hulfish, LLC ("Duke"), the Company’s investment in which is accounted for by use of the equity method. The Company’s equity in the net assets of Duke was $239,376,000 and $292,548,000 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and its equity in the net income (loss) of Duke was $20,147,000, $3,914,000, and ($786,000) for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The financial statements of Duke were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Duke, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors (as to the amounts included for Duke/Hulfish, LLC), such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chambers Street Properties and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, based on our audits and (as to the amounts included for Duke) the report of the other auditors, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for and disclosure of discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 2, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

CHAMBERS STREET PROPERTIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
Unless the context otherwise requires or indicates, references to "we," "the Company" "our," and "us" refer to the activities of and the assets and liabilities of the business and operations of Chambers Street Properties and its subsidiaries.
1. Organization and Nature of Business
Chambers Street Properties (NYSE: CSG) is a self-administered real estate investment trust (a "REIT") that focuses on acquiring, owning and managing net leased industrial and office properties leased to creditworthy tenants. We were formed under the laws of the state of Maryland on March 30, 2004, and have elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Internal Revenue Code") beginning with the taxable period ended December 31, 2004.
We operate in an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which our operating partnership, CSP Operating Partnership, LP ("CSP OP"), indirectly owns all of our consolidated properties and all of our interests in our unconsolidated properties. CSP OP was formed in Delaware on March 30, 2004, and we are the 100% owner and sole general partner. For each interest in our common shares of beneficial interest $0.01 par value (the "common shares"), that we issue, an equal interest in the limited partnership units of CSP OP is issued to us in exchange for the cash proceeds from the issuance of the interest in our common shares. As of December 31, 2014, we owned 100% of the limited partnership units of CSP OP directly or indirectly through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary.
Prior to July 1, 2012, all of our business activities were managed by the former investment advisor pursuant to advisory agreements. On July 1, 2012, we became a self-managed company and changed our name from CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust to Chambers Street Properties in accordance with a plan determined by our Board of Trustees. In addition, as of April 30, 2013, the transitional services agreement with CSP OP ("Transitional Services Agreement") and the former investment advisor that we had entered into as part of our transition to a self-managed company ended and we are now responsible for the management of our day-to-day operations, including the supervision of our employees and third-party service providers. Acquisitions and asset management activities are performed by our employees, with certain services provided by third parties at market rates.
On May 21, 2013, we listed our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "CSG" (the "Listing") and concurrently commenced a modified "Dutch Auction" tender offer to purchase up to $125.0 million in value of the common shares (the "Tender Offer") from our shareholders. As a result of the Tender Offer, on June 26, 2013, we accepted for purchase 12,376,237 common shares at a purchase price of $10.10 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $125.0 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Tender Offer. As of December 31, 2014, we had 236,920,675 common shares issued and outstanding.
As of December 31, 2014, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 102 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and office properties located in 18 U.S. states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia) and in the United Kingdom, encompassing approximately 25.3 million net rentable square feet. Our consolidated properties were approximately 97.5% leased (based upon rentable square feet) (unaudited) as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, 77 of our consolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 20.6 million rentable square feet (unaudited).
We had ownership interests in four unconsolidated entities that, as of December 31, 2014, owned interests in 29 properties. Excluding those properties owned through our investment in CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners Asia II-A, L.P. ("CBRE Strategic Partners Asia"), we owned, on an unconsolidated basis, 26 industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and office properties located in eight U.S. states (Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas) and three countries in Europe (France, Germany and the United Kingdom), encompassing approximately 12.4 million rentable square feet (unaudited). Our unconsolidated properties were approximately 99.9% leased (based upon rentable square feet) (unaudited) as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, 20 of our unconsolidated properties were net leased to single tenants, which encompassed approximately 11.5 million rentable square feet (unaudited).

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and reflect the accounts of the Company, CSP OP and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company consolidates its wholly-owned properties and joint ventures it controls through either 1) voting rights or similar rights or 2) by means other than voting rights if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
We determine if an entity is a VIE based on several factors, including whether the entity's total equity investment at risk upon inception is sufficient to finance the entity's activities without additional subordinated financial support. We make judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk based first on a qualitative analysis, then a quantitative analysis, if necessary. In a quantitative analysis, we incorporate various estimates, including estimated future cash flows, asset holding periods and discount rates, as well as estimates of the probabilities of the occurrence of various scenarios occurring. If the entity is a VIE, we then determine whether to consolidate the entity as the primary beneficiary. We determine whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether it should be consolidated by utilizing judgments and estimates that are inherently subjective. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates in these evaluations, it could result in differing conclusions as to whether or not an entity is a VIE and whether or not we consolidate such entity.
With respect to our majority limited membership interests in the Duke/Hulfish, LLC joint venture (the "Duke JV"), the Afton Ridge Joint Venture, LLC ("Afton Ridge"), the Goodman Princeton Holdings (Jersey) Limited joint venture (the "UK JV") and the Goodman Princeton Holdings (LUX) SARL joint venture (the "European JV"), we considered the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic "Consolidation" ("FASB ASC 810") in determining that we did not have control over the financial and operating decisions of such entities due to the existence of substantive participating rights held by the minority limited members who are also the managing members of the Duke JV and Afton Ridge, and the investment advisors/managers of the UK JV and the European JV, respectively. Additionally, we concluded that each of these entities was under the shared control of its limited members. The accounting policies applied by each of these entities are consistent with those applied by us.
We carry our investments in our joint ventures using the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of each such entity. We eliminate transactions with such equity method entities to the extent of our ownership in each such entity. Accordingly, our share of net income (loss) of these equity method entities is included in consolidated net income (loss).
Our determination of the appropriate accounting method with respect to our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, which is not considered a VIE, is partially based on CBRE Strategic Partners Asia's sufficiency of equity investment at risk which was triggered by a substantial paydown during 2009 of its subscription line of credit, which is backed by investor capital commitments to fund its operations. We account for this investment under the equity method of accounting.
CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is a limited partnership that qualifies for specialized industry accounting for investment companies. Specialized industry accounting allows investment companies to carry their investments at fair value, with changes in the fair value of the investments recorded in the statement of operations. On the basis of the guidance in ASC 970-323, the Company accounts for its investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia under the equity method. As a result, and in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-15, the specialized accounting treatment, principally the fair value basis applied by CBRE Strategic Partners Asia under the investment company guide, is retained in the recognition

F-10

of equity method earnings in the statement of operations of the Company. See Note 12 "Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments" for further discussion of the application of the fair value accounting to our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
In October 2011, one of our consolidated subsidiaries, RT Atwater Holding, LLC, entered into a real estate development venture with a subsidiary of the Trammel Crow Company ("TCC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE Group, Inc., a former related party of ours, whereby we own 95% of the newly formed entity and TCC owns the remaining 5% of the entity. The new entity, RT/TC Atwater, LP ("Atwater"), was formed for the purpose of developing and then operating a build-to-suit suburban office and research facility for a single tenant that has agreed to a minimum lease term of 12 years starting from the completion of construction of the facility. Through the provisions of the Atwater, LP agreement, we and TCC collectively have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Atwater. Atwater was deemed a variable interest entity and we were the entity within the related party group determined to be most closely associated with Atwater. We began to consolidate the entity at its inception in October 2011. The construction of the Atwater property was substantially complete and ready for its intended use in January 2013 and upon substantial completion we acquired our outside partner's 5% interest in the project for approximately $3.5 million.
Segment Information
We currently operate our consolidated properties in two geographic areas, the United States and the United Kingdom. We view our consolidated property operations as two reportable segments, Industrial Properties and Office Properties, which participate in the acquisition, development, ownership, and operation of high quality real estate in their respective segments.
Cash Equivalents
We consider short-term investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, cash equivalents consisted primarily of investments in money market funds.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents those cash accounts for which the use of funds is restricted by loan covenants. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, our restricted cash balance was $14.7 million and $15.2 million, respectively, which represented amounts set aside as impounds for future property tax payments, property insurance payments and tenant improvement payments as required by our agreements with our lenders.
Discontinued Operations and Real Estate Held for Sale
A discontinued operation arises upon the disposal of a component of an entity (or upon the classification of a component as held for sale), provided that (1) the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from the entity's ongoing operations and (2) the entity will have no significant continuing involvement in the component after disposition. In a period in which a component has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the statements of operations for current and prior periods report the results of operations of the component as discontinued operations. In the first quarter of 2014, we adopted ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which requires only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations (i.e., a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment) to be presented as discontinued operations.
At such time as a property is deemed held for sale, such property is carried at the lower of: (1) its carrying amount or (2) fair value less costs to sell. In addition, a property being held for sale ceases to be depreciated. We classify operating properties as property held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:
management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the component;
the component is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such components;

F-11

CHAMBERS STREET PROPERTIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012


an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the component has been initiated;
the sale of the component is probable and the transfer of the component is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year;
the component is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and
given the actions required to complete the plan to sell the component, it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan would be made or that the plan would be withdrawn.
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
All of our derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. We periodically review the effectiveness of each hedging transaction, which involves estimating future cash flows. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity. Only the effective portion of qualifying hedging relationships are recorded to other comprehensive income with the ineffective portion recorded to earnings. Calculation of the fair value of derivative instruments also requires management to use estimates. Amounts will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
We have certain interest rate swap derivatives that are designated as qualifying cash flow hedges and follow the accounting treatment discussed above. We also have certain interest rate swap derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, and accordingly, changes in fair values are recognized in current earnings.
Investments in Real Estate and Related Long Lived Assets (Impairment Evaluation)
Our investments in real estate are stated at depreciated cost. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows: 
Asset Description

 
Depreciable Lives

Buildings and Improvements
 
39 years
Site Improvements
 
15 - 25 years
Tenant Improvements
 
Shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the related leases
Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Land available for expansion is recorded at cost and separated out accordingly.
We assess whether there has been impairment in the value of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset group identified for step two testing is based on either the income approach with market discount rate, terminal capitalization rate and rental rate assumptions being most critical, or on the sales comparison approach to similar properties. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.
We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for indicators of impairment during each reporting period. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of the Company's investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment's carrying amount over its estimated

F-12

CHAMBERS STREET PROPERTIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012


fair value, which may be below the balance of any non-recourse mortgage financing. If a property level impairment is recorded by an unconsolidated entity related to its assets, the Company's proportionate share is reflected in the equity in loss from unconsolidated entities with a corresponding decrease to its investment in unconsolidated entities. In the event the property were to be under development, the estimate of future cash flows includes all future expenditures necessary to develop the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate future cash flows, we would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the property
Additionally, the Company considers various qualitative factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. These factors include age of the venture, intent and ability for the Company to recover its investment in the entity, financial condition and long-term prospects of the entity and its underlying real estate assets, short-term liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity, trends in the economic environments or leasing markets where its real estate assets are located, overall projected returns on investment, and any defaults under contracts with third parties (including bank debt). If the Company believes that the decline in the fair value of the investment is temporary, then no impairment is recorded.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate
We apply the business combination method to all acquired real estate investments. The purchase consideration of the real estate is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, site improvements, building and tenant improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases, value of tenant relationships and acquired ground leases, based in each case on their fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market loans, will be recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the "as-if-vacant" value is then allocated to all land (or acquired ground lease if the land is subject to a ground lease) and site improvements based on management's determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property by underwriting the property as if it were vacant and subsequently re-leased at the market. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses associated with the property. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions and tenant improvements.
In allocating the purchase consideration of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases; and (ii) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease and, for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized below-market lease values, also referred to as acquired lease obligations, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the

F-13

CHAMBERS STREET PROPERTIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012


initial terms of the respective leases and any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a decrease to rental income over the initial terms of the prospective leases.
The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, is measured by the estimated cost of operations during a theoretical lease-up period to replace in-place leases, including lost revenues and any unreimbursed operating expenses, plus an estimate of deferred leasing commissions for in-place leases. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease value and tenant relationships based on management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value for the real estate acquired as such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for these particular acquisitions. Should future acquisitions of properties result in allocating material amounts to the value of tenant relationships, an amount would be separately allocated and amortized over the estimated life of the relationship. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written-off.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). In the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and swap fair value adjustments for the qualifying portion of designated hedges.
Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Receivables
All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is recorded as deferred rent. In connection with various leases, we have received irrevocable stand-by letters of credit totaling $20.3 million and $14.5 million as security for such leases at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Reimbursements from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable costs, are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis, when we are the primary obligor with respect to incurring expenses and with respect to having the credit risk.
In addition, rental revenue is impacted by management’s evaluation of whether we or the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements. The determination of whether we are or the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes is subject to significant judgment. When we conclude that we are not the owner and the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record our contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which is amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease, and rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the space.
Tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible current tenant receivables and deferred rent. Management's determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, individual receivables, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The allowances are increased or decreased through the provision for bad debts. The allowance for uncollectible rent receivable was $62,000 and $24,000 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we wrote off approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of uncollectible receivables. We did not write off any uncollectible receivables in 2014.
Translation of Non-U.S. Currency Amounts
The financial statements and transactions of our United Kingdom real estate operation are recorded in their functional currency, namely the Great Britain Pound ("GBP") and are then translated into U.S. dollars ("USD").
Assets and liabilities of this operation are denominated in the functional currency and are then translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are reported in "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss," a component of Shareholders' Equity.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012


The carrying value of our United Kingdom assets and liabilities fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rate between the USD and the GBP. The exchange rate of the USD to the GBP was $1.5576 and $1.6573 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The profit and loss average exchange rate of the USD to the GBP was approximately $1.6533, $1.5628 and $1.5865 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The carrying value of our assets and liabilities held within our European JV fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rate between the USD and the EUR. The exchange rate of the USD to the EUR was $1.2099 and $1.3753 at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The profit and loss average exchange rate of the USD to the EUR was approximately $1.3326, $1.3248 and $1.2877 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Transition and Listing Expenses
We incurred certain costs in connection with our transition from being an externally managed company to a self-managed company ("Transition Costs"). These Transition Costs consisted of legal, consulting and other third-party service provider costs incurred by us in order to execute on our Board of Trustees' decision to become a self-managed company. The Transition Costs were primarily incurred during 2012, with the exception of $0.7 million incurred during 2013 as a final settlement of the Transition Services Agreement.
We incurred certain costs in connection with the Listing and our Tender Offer in 2013. These Listing expenses consisted of legal, investment banking, share-based compensation, consulting and other third-party service provider costs incurred by us in order to complete the Listing and Tender Offer. Listing costs totaling $12.0 million were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2013. Of the Listing expenses incurred through December 31, 2013, $3.8 million was attributable to share-based compensation.
Income Taxes
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we generally distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). It is our current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT qualification. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level U.S. federal income tax on net income we distribute currently to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. We believe that we have met all of the REIT organizational and operational requirements for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, and we were not subject to any U.S. federal income taxes, other than U.S. federal income taxes on income generated by our Taxable REIT Subsidiary. As such, we have not provided for income taxes other than as addressed below.
ASC 740-10 Income Taxes requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recorded as of December 31, 2014, other than as mentioned below related to the United Kingdom net operating losses. In addition, we believe that any current or deferred tax liability associated with our Taxable REIT Subsidiary would be de minimis.
We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position, and (2) for those tax positions

that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
We did not have any uncertain tax positions which would require us to record any unrecognized tax benefits or additional tax liabilities as of December 31, 2014.
Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state, foreign, and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, if any.
Included as a component of our tax provision, we have incurred income and other taxes (franchise, local and state government and international) related to our continuing operations in the amount of $0.8 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The United Kingdom taxes real property operating results at a statutory rate of 20%. The properties which we hold in the United Kingdom have operated at a taxable loss to date and have generated a deferred tax asset of approximately $0.6 million consisting of these net operating loss carryforwards. We have provided for a full valuation allowance of $0.6 million as of December 31, 2014 on deferred tax assets because it is not likely that future operating profits in the United Kingdom would be sufficient to absorb the net operating losses.
The tax years from 2010 through 2014 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
Deferred Financing Costs and Note Premiums/Discounts
Direct costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are amortized over the respective term of the loan on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method.
Discounts/premiums on notes payable are amortized to interest expense based on the effective interest method.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments
We generally determine or calculate the fair value of financial instruments using appropriate present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating available market discount rate information for similar types of instruments and our estimates for non-performance and liquidity risk. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flow. The Investment Manager of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia applies valuation techniques for our investment carried at fair value based upon the application of the income approach, the direct market comparison approach, the replacement cost approach or third party appraisals to the underlying assets held in the unconsolidated entity in determining the net asset value attributable to our ownership interest therein. As of December 31, 2014, the financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated financial statements are our derivative instruments and our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia.
The remaining financial assets and liabilities which are only disclosed at fair value are comprised of all other notes payable, the unsecured line of credit and other debt instruments. We determined the fair value of our secured notes payable and other debt instruments by performing discounted cash flow analyses using an appropriate market discount rate. We calculate the market discount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or London Inter-Bank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") rates for variable-rate debt, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our debt and then adding an appropriate credit spread derived from information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit standing, the maturity of the debt, whether the debt is secured or unsecured, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant and other receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
Share-based Compensation
For share-based awards for which there is no pre-established performance period, we recognize compensation costs over the service vesting period, which represents the requisite service period, on a straight-line basis.

F-16

CHAMBERS STREET PROPERTIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012


For share-based awards in which the performance period precedes the grant date, we recognize compensation costs straight-lined over the requisite service period, which includes both the performance and service vesting periods. The requisite service period begins on the date the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees authorizes the award and adopts any relevant performance measures.
During the performance period for a share-based award program, we estimate the total compensation cost of the potential future awards. We then record compensation costs equal to the portion of the requisite service period that has elapsed through the end of the reporting period.
For share-based awards granted by the Company, CSP OP issues a number of common units equal to the number of common shares ultimately granted by us in respect of such awards.
New Accounting Standards
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which requires only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations (i.e., a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment) to be presented as discontinued operations. The standard also requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations and is intended to provide financial statement users with information about the ongoing trends in a company's results from continuing operations. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective in the first quarter of 2015 for public entities with calendar year ends. However, companies are permitted to early adopt the standard, beginning in the first quarter of 2014, but only for disposals or classifications as held for sale that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. We early adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2014 and the adoption did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB and IASB issued their final standard on revenue from contracts with customers. The standard, issued by the FASB as ASU 2014-09, outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including the guidance on real estate derecognition for most transactions. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in ASU 2014-09. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. We are assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and notes to our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The ASU clarifies that entities should treat performance targets that can be met after the requisite service period of a share-based payment award as performance conditions that affect vesting. Therefore, an entity would not record compensation expense (measured as of the grant date without taking into account the effect of the performance target) related to an award for which transfer to the employee is contingent on the entity’s satisfaction of a performance target until it becomes probable that the performance target will be met. ASU No. 2014-12 will be effective for all entities for reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2014-12 may be adopted either prospectively for share-based payment awards granted or modified on or after the effective date, or retrospectively, using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach would apply to share-based payment awards outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements on adoption, and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The ASU provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. ASU 2013-05 specifies that a cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) is attached to a parent company’s investment in a foreign entity and should be released in a manner consistent with derecognition guidance on investments in entities. Therefore, the entire amount of the CTA associated with a foreign entity would be released upon 1) sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within a foreign entity, which represents the substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the entity, 2) loss of a controlling financial interest in an investment in a foreign entity, or 3) step acquisition of a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 does not change the requirement to release a pro rata portion of the CTA of the foreign entity into earnings for a partial sale of an equity method investment in a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective for interim periods and fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. We have applied the guidance prospectively to any derecognition events that occurred after the effective date and do not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-05 to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Purchase of Outside Equity Interests in Properties
On January 30, 2013, we completed construction of a build-to-suit project at 1400 Atwater Drive located in Malvern, Pennsylvania. The project had previously been accounted for as a consolidated VIE and all activity had been included on the consolidated balance sheet as Construction in progress - VIE. Upon substantial completion of construction, we acquired our outside partner's 5% interest in the project for approximately $3.5 million.
On March 1, 2013, we acquired the remaining 20% interest in 17 properties that were held in a joint venture with Duke Realty ("Duke Portfolio"). The properties are located in Phoenix, Raleigh/Durham, Houston, Columbus, Cincinnati, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Minneapolis and Dallas and consisted of 16 office buildings and one warehouse/distribution building totaling 3,318,402 square feet. The acquisition was structured such that membership interests in each of the subsidiaries that hold the properties were distributed to Duke Realty and CSP OP on a pro rata basis in accordance with their percentage ownership interests in the Duke JV (80% to CSP OP and 20% to Duke Realty) and CSP OP then purchased Duke Realty's 20% membership interests in those subsidiaries, resulting in CSP OP owning a 100% interest in each of the property-owning subsidiaries. The purchase price was approximately $98.1 million to acquire the remaining 20% interest in these properties, corresponding to a valuation of approximately $490.7 million for a 100% interest in these properties. The transaction constituted a change in control of the previously unconsolidated 17 properties, which required a remeasurement of the net assets acquired to fair value. This resulted in a net gain of $75.8 million upon acquisition. The net assets acquired were also remeasured to fair value by the Duke JV In conjunction with the distribution of membership interests and resulted in a gain recognized by the Duke JV. In accordance with ASC 323-10-35-7, this gain has been eliminated as intra-entity profit.

Discontinued Operations
Based on the early adoption of the new discontinued operations guidance ASU No. 2014-08, the sales of all properties during the year ended December 31, 2014 did not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Accordingly, these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented. Prior to January 1, 2014, properties identified as held for sale and/or disposed of are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The following table summarizes the income and expense components for 2013 and 2012 dispositions that comprise discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

Impairment of Real Estate
The Company assesses on a regular basis whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of its real estate assets may be impaired. The impairment charges for assets not held for sale are calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the properties and the estimated fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized an impairment charge of $27.6 million in continuing operations related to our 70 Hudson Street property. The impairment charge resulted from a determination that the projected cash flows based upon the estimated holding period of the property was below the carrying amount of the property. Accordingly, we reduced the carrying value of this property to the property’s current estimated fair value of approximately $94.0 million. The property is encumbered by a $114.1 million non-recourse mortgage loan. No impairments of long-lived assets were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

7. Risk Management and Use of Financial Instruments
Risk Management
In the course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. We are subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing liabilities. Credit risk is primarily the risk of inability or unwillingness of tenants to make contractually required payments and of counterparties on derivatives contracts to fulfill their obligations. Market risk is the risk of declines in the value of our properties due to changes in rental rates, interest rates, supply and demand of similar products and other market factors affecting the valuation of properties.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We utilize interest rate swaps to mitigate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on our variable-rate loans. Our strategy is to use a swap to convert the floating-rate borrowing (usually a secured note payable or an unsecured term loan facility) where LIBOR is consistently applied into a fixed-rate obligation with the only variable piece remaining is the spread between different reset dates when/if the swap and debt are not lined up. We generally enter into an interest rate swap agreement concurrently with the origination of the variable-rate loan for an equivalent principal amount for a period covering the term of the loan, which effectively converts our variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate loan. Our use of derivative instruments, including swaps, is limited by policy to hedging or mitigating commercial risk and we do not use derivative instruments for speculative, trading or investment purposes.
The following table sets forth the terms of our interest rate swaps at December 31, 2014 and 2013 (amounts in thousands):

At December 31, 2014, the Company expects that the hedged forecasted transactions, for each of the outstanding qualifying cash flow hedging relationships, remains probable of occurring. During the next twelve months we anticipate reclassifying $7.6 million of amounts currently recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Our credit risk relates primarily to cash, restricted cash, and interest rate swap agreements. Cash accounts at each U.S. institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 through December 31, 2014.
We have not experienced any losses to date on our invested cash and restricted cash. The interest rate swap agreements create credit risk. Credit risk arises from the potential failure of counterparties to perform in accordance with the terms of their contracts. Our risk management policies define parameters of acceptable market risk and limit exposure to credit risk. Credit exposure resulting from derivative financial instruments is represented by their fair value amounts, increased by an estimate of potential adverse position exposure arising from changes over time in interest rates, maturities, and other relevant factors. We do not anticipate nonperformance by any of our counterparties.

9. Related Party Transactions
Prior to July 1, 2012, all of our business activities were managed by the former investment advisor pursuant to the fourth amended and restated advisory agreement ("Fourth Amended Advisory Agreement"), which terminated according to its terms on June 30, 2012. Effective July 1, 2012, we entered into the Transitional Services Agreement with the former investment advisor pursuant to which the former investment advisor would provide certain consulting related services to us at the direction of our officers and other personnel for a term which ended on April 30, 2013. As part of the Transitional Services Agreement, we paid $2.5 million on the effective date of the agreement to reimburse the former investment advisor for expenses incurred related to personnel costs. In addition, during 2013, we paid $0.7 million to the former investment advisor as a final settlement of the Transitional Services Agreement.
Pursuant to the Transitional Services Agreement, for services provided to us in connection with the investment management of our assets, the former investment advisor was paid an investment management consulting fee payable in cash consisting of (i) a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.5% of the aggregate cost (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all real estate investments within our portfolio and (ii) a monthly fee equal to 5.0% of the aggregate monthly net operating income derived from all real estate investments within our portfolio, subject to certain adjustments. For services provided to us in connection with the acquisition of assets, the former investment advisor or its affiliates was paid acquisition fees up to 1.5% of (i) the contract purchase price of real estate investments acquired by us, or (ii) when we make an investment indirectly through another entity, such investment's pro rata share of the gross asset value of real estate investments held by that entity. The total of all acquisition consulting fees payable with respect to real estate investments did not exceed an amount equal to 6% of the contract purchase price (or 6% of funds advanced with respect to mortgages) provided, however, that a majority of the uninterested members of the Board of Trustees could approve amounts in excess of this limit.
As required by the Transitional Services Agreement, we and the former investment advisor have agreed on a list of unacquired real estate investments for which the former investment advisor has performed certain acquisition related consulting services prior to the termination of the Transitional Service Agreement (a "Qualifying Property"). If any Qualifying Property is acquired by us within the nine months following the termination of the Transitional Services Agreement then we shall pay an acquisition consulting fee equal to 0.75% of (i) the contract purchase price of the real estate investments (including debt), or (ii) when we make an investment indirectly through another entity, such investment's pro rata share of the gross asset value of real estate investments held by that entity to the former investment advisor.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we acquired one Qualifying Property and paid the former investment advisor $0.2 million in acquisition consulting fees. There are no further Qualifying Properties under the Transitional Services Agreement and we do not anticipate paying the former investment advisor any further acquisition consulting fees.

11. Shareholders' Equity
Common Shares
Under our current declaration of trust, we have the authority to issue a total of 1,000,000,000 shares of beneficial interest. Of the total shares authorized, 990,000,000 shares are designated as common shares, with a par value of $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred shares, with a par value of $0.01 per share.
On May 21, 2013, we listed our common shares on the NYSE under the symbol "CSG" and concurrently commenced the $125.0 million Tender Offer from our shareholders. As a result of the Tender Offer, on June 26, 2013, we accepted for purchase 12,376,237 common shares at a purchase price of $10.10 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $125.0 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Tender Offer.
In connection with the Listing, we terminated our dividend reinvestment plan effective as of the close of business on May 21, 2013. As of the close of business on May 21, 2013, we had issued a total of 8,869,829 common shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan, and received approximately $84.3 million in gross proceeds.
In connection with the Listing, we terminated our share redemption program effective as of the close of business on May 21, 2013. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we repurchased 4,996,935 common shares and 5,648,490 common shares, respectively, under our share redemption program for $47.4 million and $52.9 million, respectively.
On July 8, 2013, we eliminated 14,501 outstanding fractional common shares (the "Fractional Shares") by paying each holder of a Fractional Share an amount in cash equal to the fraction of a share being repurchased multiplied by the closing price of our common shares on the NYSE, as of the date of payment, rounded up to the nearest cent.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, we transitioned from quarterly distributions to paying distributions on a monthly basis as calculated pursuant to monthly record dates and distribution declaration dates.
At-The-Market Offering
On November 6, 2013, we and CSP OP entered into four separate Equity Distribution Agreements with certain sales agents, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, our common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $250.0 million. Sales of our common shares may be made in ordinary brokers' transactions on the NYSE, in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be "at the market" ("ATM") offerings, including sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We may use these proceeds and proceeds from the sale of its debt securities to repay debt, including borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, to make acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties, or for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2014, there have been no sales of common shares under the ATM program.

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments
We apply the three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical financial instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as instruments that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments do not have two-way markets and are measured using management's best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , we held certain items that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included cash equivalents, interest rate swap derivative contracts and our equity method investment in CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners Asia II-A, L.P. ("CBRE Strategic Partners Asia"). Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid, income-producing investments, all of which have maturities of 90 days or less, including money market funds and U.S. Government obligations. Derivative instruments are related to our economic hedging activities with respect to interest rates.
The fair values of the interest rate swap derivative agreements are estimated with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash payments and receipts on the pay and receive legs of the interest rate swap agreements that swap the estimated variable rate mortgage note payment stream for a fixed rate receive payment stream over the period of the loan. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the interest rate swap agreements are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements (where appropriate). Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We have consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented and believe we have obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts we hold.

Our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is based on the Level 3 valuation inputs applied by the Investment Manager of this investment company utilizing a mix of different approaches for valuing the underlying real estate related investments within the investment company. The approaches include the income approach, direct market comparison approach and the replacement cost approach for newer properties. For investments owned more than one year, except for investments under construction or incurring significant renovation, it is CBRE Strategic Partners Asia's policy to obtain a third-party appraisal. For investments in real estate under construction or incurring significant renovation, the valuation analysis is prepared by the Investment Manager. On a quarterly basis, the Company obtains the financial results of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia and on an annul basis the Company receives audited financial statements.
Impairment of Real Estate
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized an impairment charge of $27.6 million in continuing operations related to our 70 Hudson Street property. Accordingly, we reduced the carrying value of this property to the property’s current estimated fair value of approximately $94.0 million. The inputs used to calculate the fair value included projected cash flows and risk-adjusted rate of return that we estimated would be used by a market participant in valuing the asset or by obtaining a range of third-party broker valuation estimates.
We utilized a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the property's fair value. The unobservable inputs (Level 3) of our real estate that was recorded at fair value as of December 31, 2014 included a discount rate of 12%, a terminal capitalization rate of 6.5%, a market rent growth rate range of 3% - 3.4% and an expense growth rate of 3%.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Ground Leases - We own a property that is subject to a long-term noncancellable ground lease obligation that contractually expires on November 30, 2032. We have three ten-year renewal options that will allow us to extend the expiration of the ground lease through November 30, 2062.

Litigation—From time to time, we and our properties may be subject to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Currently, neither our company nor any of our properties are subject to, or threatened with, any legal proceedings for which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
Environmental Matters—We are not aware of any material environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to a material environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.
14. Segment Disclosure
As a result of the reassessment of our reportable segments during the period ended March 31, 2014, we view our consolidated property operations as two reportable segments: Industrial Properties and Office Properties. Based on this, we reclassified the prior period segment financial results to conform to the current year presentation. In addition, we had one non-reportable segment, which was Retail Properties. However, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 we sold our last remaining retail property, therefore, eliminating the nonreportable segment from future reportable presentations. Management internally evaluates the operating performance and financial results of our segments based on net operating income. We also have certain general and administrative level activities including legal, accounting, tax preparation and shareholder servicing costs that are not considered separate operating segments.
We evaluate the performance of our segments based on net operating income, defined as: rental income, tenant reimbursements and other property income less property and related expenses (operating and maintenance and real estate taxes) and excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and corporate general and administrative expenses.

16. Distributions
Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to shareholders, will differ from income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal income tax purposes including the treatment of loss on extinguishment of debt, revenue recognition, compensation expense and in the basis of depreciable assets and estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation.

18. Subsequent Events
On January 9, 2015, our Board of Trustees’ independent trustees, Messrs. Black, Brugger, Francis, Orphanides and Salvatore, were awarded restricted share units ("RSUs") under the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan on the following terms: (i) (y) Mr. Black was awarded 20,000 RSUs, and (z) Messrs. Brugger, Francis, Orphanides and Salvatore each were awarded 5,000 RSUs; and (ii) each award is subject to a mandatory deferral program. Pursuant to the mandatory deferral program, each RSU entitles a holder to receive one common share upon the earlier of (i) the sixth month anniversary of the holder's separation of service from the Company, and (ii) a change in control of the Company. Each RSU also entitles a holder to receive an amount equal to the dividends paid on one common share.
On January 23, 2015 , the Duke JV sold an office property located in Raleigh, North Carolina for approximately $20.6 million, of which our pro rata share was approximately $16.4 million.
On February 2, 2015, we paid off the notes payable secured by One Wayside Road in the amount of $23.8 million prior to their maturity dates of August 1, 2015.
On February 10, 2015, we acquired a 11.8 acre undeveloped parcel in Goodyear, Arizona for a price of $1.7 million.

Independent Auditors' Report

The Members
Duke/Hulfish, LLC:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Duke/Hulfish, LLC and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, members' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule III.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Duke/Hulfish, LLC and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014 in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule III, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, Duke/Hulfish, LLC has changed its method of accounting for Discontinued Operations in 2014 due to the adoption of FASB ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.

DUKE/HULFISH, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013
1. The Company
Duke/Hulfish, LLC (Company) was formed on April 29, 2008 (inception) by Duke Realty Limited Partnership (DRLP) and CBRE Operating Partnership, L.P. (collectively, the Members), to own and manage commercial real estate properties. Effective July 1, 2012, CBRE Operating Partnership, L.P. changed its name to CSP Operating Partnership, L.P. (CSP) which had no impact on the operating agreement. DRLP's and CSP's percentage membership interests in the Company are 20% and 80%, respectively. The term of the Company extends through December 31, 2033 unless the Company is dissolved earlier pursuant to other conditions as defined in the Company's amended and restated operating agreement.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company's portfolio consisted of seven single-tenant industrial buildings, three single-tenant office buildings, and four multi-tenant office buildings located in the Midwest, South, Southeast, and Southwest comprising approximately 7 million square feet. The portfolio was 99.86% leased as of December 31, 2014.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, DH Franklin, LLC, DH Anson, LLC, DH Jacksonville, LLC, DH Plainfield, LLC, DH Wilmer, LLC, DH Buckeye, LLC, DH West Jefferson, LLC, DH Tampa LLC, and Duke Princeton, LLC.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
(b)
Real Estate Investments
Rental real property, including land, land improvements, buildings and building improvements, and tenant improvements, is included in investment property and are generally stated at cost. Buildings and land improvements are depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated life not to exceed 40 and 15 years, respectively, and tenant improvement costs are depreciated on the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the related lease.
Cost Capitalization: Direct and certain indirect costs clearly associated with and incremental to the development, construction, leasing, or expansion of real estate investments are capitalized as a cost of the property.
The Company capitalizes interest and direct and indirect project costs associated with the initial construction of a property up to the time the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. The Company believes the completion of the building shell is the proper basis for determining substantial completion. The interest rate used to capitalize interest is based upon the Company's average borrowing rate on existing debt.
The Company capitalizes direct and indirect costs, including interest costs, on vacant space during extended lease-up periods after construction of the building shell has been completed if costs are being incurred to ready the vacant space for its intended use. Once necessary work has been completed on a vacant space, project costs are no longer capitalized. The Company ceases capitalization of all project costs on extended lease-up periods after the shorter of a one-year period after the completion of the building shell or when the property attains 90% occupancy. In addition, all leasing commissions paid to third parties for new leases or lease renewals are capitalized and amortized over the life of the related lease.
Impairment of Real Estate: Real estate investments are individually evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such an evaluation is considered necessary, the Company compares the carrying amount of that real estate investment with the expected undiscounted cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, the use and eventual disposition of that real estate investment. The Company's estimate of the expected future cash flows used in testing for impairment is based on, among other things, estimates regarding future market conditions, rental rates, occupancy levels, costs of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other tenant concessions, assumptions regarding the residual value of the real estate investments at the end of the anticipated holding period, and the length of the anticipated holding period and is, therefore, subjective by nature. These assumptions could differ materially from actual results. If the Company's strategy changes or if market

F-63

DUKE/HULFISH, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
December 31, 2014 and 2013


conditions otherwise dictate a reduction in the holding period and an earlier sale date, an impairment loss could be recognized and such loss could be material. To the extent the carrying amount of a real estate investment exceeds the associated estimate of undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its fair value. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $553,173 in 2013 related to two properties that sold during 2013 (Note 2) and one property that is classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2013 (Note 2). No impairment was recorded during 2014 or 2012.
The determination of the fair value of real estate investments is also highly subjective, especially in markets where there is a lack of recent comparable transactions. The Company primarily utilizes the income approach to estimate the fair value, when necessary, of the income producing properties. The Company utilizes marketplace participant assumptions to estimate the fair value of an income producing property to the extent an impairment charge is required to be measured. The estimation of future cash flows, as well as the selection of the discount rate and exit capitalization rate used in applying the income approach is also highly subjective.
Acquisition of Real Estate Property and Related Assets: There were no acquisitions of real estate property and related assets in 2014, 2013 or 2012. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to net tangible and identified intangible assets based on their respective fair values, using all pertinent information available at the date of acquisition. The allocation to tangible assets (buildings, tenant improvements, and land) is based upon management's determination of the value of the property as if it were vacant. This "as-if vacant" value is estimated using an income, or discounted cash flow, approach that relies upon internally determined assumptions that the Company believes are consistent with current market conditions for similar properties.  The most important assumptions in determining the allocation of the purchase price to tangible assets are the exit capitalization rate, discount rate, estimated market rents, and hypothetical expected lease-up periods.  The purchase price of real estate assets is also allocated to intangible assets consisting of the above or below market component of in-place leases and the value of in-place leases. 
The value allocable to the above- or below-market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the lease over its remaining term and (ii) management's estimate of the amounts that would be received using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above-market leases and below-market leases are included in intangible lease assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet and are amortized to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases.
Factors considered in determining the value allocable to in-place leases include estimates, during hypothetical expected lease-up periods of space that is actually leased at the time of acquisition, of lost rent at market rates, fixed operating costs that will be recovered from tenants, and theoretical leasing commissions required to execute similar leases. These intangible assets are included in intangible lease assets in the consolidated balance sheet and are amortized to depreciation and amortization over the remaining term of the existing lease.
(c)
Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.
(d)
Valuation of Receivables
The Company reserves the entire receivable balance, including straight-line rent, of any tenant with an amount outstanding over 90 days. Additional reserves are recorded as necessary for more current amounts, where collectibility is deemed doubtful. Straight-line rent receivables for any tenant with long-term risk, regardless of the status of rent receivables, are reviewed and reserved as necessary.
(e)
Deferred Costs
Costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are amortized to interest expense, over the term of the related loan. All direct and indirect costs, including estimated internal costs, associated with the leasing of real estate investments owned by the Company are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related lease. The Company includes lease incentive costs, which are payments made on behalf of a tenant to sign a lease, in intangible lease assets and amortizes them on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms as a reduction of rental

December 31, 2014 and 2013


income. The Company includes as lease incentives amounts funded to construct tenant improvements owned by the tenant. Unamortized costs are charged to expense upon the early termination of the lease or upon early payment of the financing. In connection with the sale of one office building in Houston, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $1,723,002 during 2014 which represents a prepayment premium and the unamortized financing costs. In connection with the sale of two office buildings in St. Louis, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $267,935 during 2013 which represents the unamortized financing costs. Also included in deferred costs are a portion of the purchase price from previous acquisitions that were allocated to in-place lease intangible assets and above or below market leases which are amortized over the remaining life of the related leases.
Amortization expense for in-place lease intangible assets was $8,353,865, $12,697,040, and $24,924,650 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for the next five years and thereafter is as follows:

Interest Rate Swap Agreement
Derivative financial instruments contain an element of risk such that counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of such agreements. The Company minimizes its risk exposure by limiting the counterparties to commercial and investment banks, which meet established credit and capital guidelines.
The Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements (the Swaps) to mitigate risk occurring from potential changes in interest rates relating to three mortgage notes originated in 2011 (Note 4). The objective for holding such a derivative is to decrease the Company's exposure to cash flow volatility, while maintaining liquidity and flexibility.
The Swaps became effective as of August 16, 2011 (the Effective Date) and were to expire on December 6, 2016, May 31, 2018 and January 31, 2019, respectively. The Swaps provided interest rate protection against the increase of one-month LIBOR above 2.00% starting on the Effective Date. The three Swaps provided for notional amounts of balances of $11,366,000, $23,452,000, and $6,652,000 and effectively fixed the

variable rate mortgage notes (Note 4) to provide for a fixed interest rate of 3.41%, 3.78%, and 3.95%, respectively, starting on the Effective Date.
During 2012, the Company’s Swaps qualified for hedge accounting under FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Accordingly, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, the change in the fair value of the Swaps of $0, ($1,767,658) and $814,838, respectively, was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of members’ equity.On March 1, 2013, in connection with the distribution of the members' interests in these properties, these three Swaps were assumed by a newly formed entity (Note 6). The effectiveness of the Swaps was evaluated throughout their life using the hypothetical derivative method, under which the change in the Swaps' fair value were compared to the change in the fair value of a hypothetical swap. The ineffective portion of the hedge was insignificant for each period impacted; however, if it was significant, the ineffectiveness would have been recorded in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The Company valued derivative financial instruments using Level 2 inputs (see (j) below). Gains or losses resulting from changes in the value of derivatives are based on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.
(g)
Revenues
The timing of revenue recognition under an operating lease is determined based upon ownership of the tenant improvements. If the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, revenue recognition commences after the improvements are completed and the tenant takes possession or control of the space. In contrast, if the Company determines that the tenant allowances they are funding are lease incentives, then the Company commences revenue recognition when possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant. Rental income from leases with scheduled rental increases during their terms is recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company includes reimbursements of specified operating expenses in contractual rental income.
The Company records lease termination fees when a tenant has executed a definitive termination agreement with the Company and the payment of the termination fee is not subject to any material conditions that must be met or waived before the fee is due to the Company. The Company recognized $114,267, $33,291, and $36,553 in termination fees during 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2014-02). ASU 2014-02 requires presentation of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Activity within other comprehensive income or loss includes the amortization to interest expense, over the lives of previously hedged loans, of the values of interest rate swaps that have been settled, as well as changes in the fair values of currently outstanding interest rate swaps that the Company has designated as cash flow hedges. Activity within other comprehensive income is not material for any individual type of activity, as well as for all activities in the aggregate, for all periods presented.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08"). Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations (for example, a disposal of a major geographic area or a major line of business) will be presented as discontinued operations, while significant continuing involvement with such dispositions will no longer preclude discontinued operations classification. As current GAAP generally requires companies that sell a single investment property to report the sale as a discontinued operation, the implementation of ASU 2014-08 will result in the Company reporting only sales that represent strategic shifts in operations as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 will also require additional disclosures for discontinued operations as well as for material property dispositions that do not meet the new criteria for discontinued operation classification.
ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted only for disposals or classifications as held-for-sale that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company adopted ASU 2014-08 early and has applied it with respect to such items during 2014.

Property Sales, Distributions and Discontinued Operations
Gains on sales of all properties are recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-20, Real Estate Sales. The specific timing of the sale of a building is measured against various criteria in FASB ASC 360-20, Real Estate Sales related to the terms of the transactions and any continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance from the seller associated with the properties. The Company makes judgments based on the specific terms of each transaction as to the amount of the total profit from the transaction that the Company recognized considering the Company's level of future involvement with the property of the buyer that acquires the assets. If the full accrual sales criteria are not met, the Company defers gain recognition and accounts for the transaction using finance, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate, until the full accrual sales criteria are met. Estimated future costs to be incurred after the completion of each sale are included in the determination of the gain on sales.
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-08 and to the extent that a property has had operations prior to sale, and that the Company did not have continuing involvement with the property, gains from sales of depreciated property were included in discontinued operations.
Rental properties that do not meet the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations are classified as gain on sale of properties in the consolidated statements of operations.
On March 1, 2013, the Company distributed 17 buildings to a newly formed entity owned by the members. Simultaneously with the distribution of the properties, one of the members acquired the other member's entire interest in the newly formed entity for cash. The distribution of property was considered non-pro-rata and reflected at fair value of approximately $493,000,000, which resulted in a gain of $101,140,252 to the Company (Note 6). The results of the operations for these 17 buildings have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations for all periods presented.
On November 7, 2013, the Company sold two office buildings located in St. Louis for $39,194,185, which included the assumption by the buyer of an existing mortgage note with a face value of $24,500,000. In connection with this sale the Company recorded an impairment charge of $267,825 and a loss on debt extinguishment of $267,935. The results of operations for these two office buildings have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations for all periods presented.
On January 16, 2014, the Company sold a multi-tenant office building located in Chicago for $13,000,000. An impairment charge of $285,348 is included in the accompanying consolidated 2013 statement of operations. This building was classified as held-for-sale at December 31, 2013 thus the results of operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations for all periods presented.
On December 5, 2014, the Company sold one office building located in Houston for $32,800,000, which included the payoff of an existing mortgage note with a face value of $11,000,000 and an outstanding principal balance of $10,384,817. In connection with this sale the Company recorded a gain on sale of $14,416,291 and a loss on debt extinguishment of $1,723,002. Due to the adoption of ASU 2014-08 the results of operations for this office building have not been reclassified to discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations as they did not meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations.
On December 8, 2014, the Company sold two office buildings located in Columbus for $25,850,000. In connection with this sale the Company recorded a gain on sale of $2,617,144. Due to the adoption of ASU 2014-08 the results of operations for these two office buildings have not been reclassified to discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations as they did not meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations.
On January 23, 2015, the Company sold a multi-tenant office building located in Raleigh for $20,550,000. The buyer assumed the existing mortgage note with a face value of $11,250,000 and a book value of $10,716,878 at December 31, 2014. This building was classified as held-for-sale at December 31, 2014 and due to the adoption of ASU 2014-08 the results of operations have not been reclassified to discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations as they did not meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations.

Income Taxes
The Company is subject to state and local income taxation in Texas, Tennessee, and certain Ohio municipalities. The net deferred tax asset or liability related to temporary differences impacting the Company’s expected state and local income taxation is not material. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company recorded current state and local income tax expenses of approximately $70,000, $192,000, and $247,000, respectively.
Except with respect to the state and local taxation in Texas, Tennessee, and Ohio municipalities, for federal and state income tax purposes, the Company is treated as a partnership and the allocated share of income or loss for the year is included in the income tax returns of the members accordingly, no other accounting for income taxes is required in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, which prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FASB ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, and disclosures for uncertain tax positions. The tax years from 2011 through 2014 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, a portion of which represents penalties and interest, of $269,000 and $134,000, respectively.
(k)
Fair Value Measurements
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to which the Company has access.

F-68

DUKE/HULFISH, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
December 31, 2014 and 2013


Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The fair value approximates the carrying value for all financial instruments except for indebtedness (Note 4).
(l)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

No interest was capitalized in 2014, 2013 or 2012.
The Company has estimated the fair value of the mortgage notes to be approximately $74,800,000 and $82,600,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The estimated fair value has been determined by the Company using available market information and a discounted cash flow methodology using an interest rate of 3.4% at December 31, 2014 and 4.5% at December 31, 2013. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The current market rate the Company utilized was internally estimated; therefore, the Company concluded its determination of the fair value of its fixed rate secured debt was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs (as described in Note 2) for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the liability. The use of different assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

In addition to minimum rents, certain leases require reimbursements of specified operating expenses, which amounted to $13,837,655, $17,076,541, and $28,955,803 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively and is included in contractual rental income.
One tenant occupies 30% of the Company’s 7 million total square feet in two buildings. This tenant accounts for approximately 32% of future minimum receipts.
6. Members' Equity
Operating and Financing Distributions
The Company pays operating distributions to its members in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement dated May 5, 2008 and amended and restated December 17, 2010. The Agreement provides the Members a first tier return equal to 6.25% per annum of the Members' Unrecovered Capital, as defined, which shall be paid quarterly to the extent cash is available. CSP has priority over DRLP for payment of first tier returns. To the extent any first tier return is not paid, it shall accumulate and compound with interest on the unpaid amount at the first tier rate.
If the first tier return is paid, then available cash shall be paid pro rata to the Members until the Members have received a return of their Unrecovered Capital. Once the Members have received the return of their Unrecovered Capital, then the balance is distributed to the Members in accordance with their membership interests (80% to CSP and 20% to DRLP).
The primary distinction between the Members is the distribution priority and voting rights. CSP has priority on distributions and has greater voting rights than DRLP. However, all Major Decisions, as defined in the Agreement, require unanimous consent of all members of the Company's executive committee, which includes representation by the Members.
In addition, the Agreement provides for distributions of Net Capital Transaction Proceeds, as defined. Net Capital Transaction Proceeds are distributed first to members who have made priority loans. Proceeds would then be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Unrecovered Capital balances, which is 80% and 20% to CSP and DRLP, respectively. Excess proceeds would then be allocated to CSP until those distributions equal CSP's cumulative First Tier Return (6.25%) from the inception of the Company to the date of such distribution; then to DRLP until the distributions equal DRLP's cumulative First Tier Return (6.25%) from the inception of the Company to the date of such distribution; then to the Members in accordance with their percentage membership interests until the cumulative distributions received by CSP equal an amount needed to attain a 10% internal rate of return for CSP. The balance would then be allocated 25% to DRLP and 75% to CSP.

DUKE/HULFISH, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
December 31, 2014 and 2013


Distribution of Members' Interests
On March 1, 2013, the Company's ownership in certain special purpose entities holding 16 office buildings and one industrial building totaling 3.3 million square feet was distributed to a newly formed entity owned by the members. Simultaneously with the distribution of the properties, one of the members acquired the other member's entire interest in the newly formed entity for cash. The distribution of property was considered non-pro-rata and reflected at fair value of approximately $493,000,000, which resulted in a gain of $101,140,252 to the Company. Mortgage notes with a carrying value of $216,000,000 and an estimated fair value of $227,000,000 were included as part of the distribution. The write off of $2,182,275 of unamortized financing costs is also included in the gain on distribution of members' interests in the accompanying consolidated 2013 statement of operations.
Liquidation Distributions and Allocation of Net Income
Net income is allocated to the partners based on how proceeds would be allocated in connection with a hypothetical liquidation of the Company at book value. Proceeds would first be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Unrecovered Capital balances, which is 80% and 20% to CSP and DRLP, respectively. Excess proceeds would then be allocated to CSP until those distributions equal CSP's cumulative First Tier Return (6.25%) from the inception of the Company to the date of such distribution; then to DRLP until the distributions equal DRLP's cumulative First Tier Return (6.25%) from the inception of the Company to the date of such distribution; then to the Members in accordance with their percentage membership interests until the cumulative distributions received by CSP equal an amount needed to attain a 10% internal rate of return for CSP. The balance would then be allocated 25% to DRLP and 75% to CSP.
In connection with the amended and restated Agreement, the Agreement provides for a call option that upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, as defined, CSP may elect to acquire DRLP's interest in the Company. The call price would be based on the average of each of the Members' qualified appraiser's written appraisals for the fair market value of the real estate properties if the appraisals are within 10% of the lower fair market value. If the appraisals are not within 10% of the lower fair market value, then a third appraisal is performed and the call price is calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.
7. Subsequent Event
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through February 27, 2015 and did not identify any additional items requiring disclosure.
