EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2013 of CubeSmart (the “Parent Company” or “CubeSmart”) and CubeSmart, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Parent Company is a Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns its assets and conducts its operations through the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, and subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.  The Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this report as the “Company.” In addition, terms such as “we”, “us”, or “our” used in this report may refer to the Company, the Parent Company, or the Operating Partnership.

The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of September 30, 2013, owned a 98.4% interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 1.6% interest consists of common units of limited partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership to third parties in exchange for contributions of facilities to the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full and complete authority over the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day operations and management.

Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management teams of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are identical, and their constituents are officers of both the Parent Company and of the Operating Partnership.

There are few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, which are reflected in the note disclosures in this report. The Company believes it is important to understand the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how these entities operate as a consolidated enterprise. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of the partnership interests of the Operating Partnership.  As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing the debt obligations of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the Company and, directly or indirectly, holds the ownership interests in the Company’s real estate ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the Company’s business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, by the Operating Partnership’s direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units of the Operating Partnership or equity interests in subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

The substantive difference between the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s filings is the fact that the Parent Company is a REIT with public equity, while the Operating Partnership is a partnership with no publicly traded equity. In the financial statements, this difference is primarily reflected in the equity (or capital for Operating Partnership) section of the consolidated balance sheets and in the consolidated statements of equity (or capital). Apart from the different equity treatment, the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are nearly identical.

The Company believes that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into a single report will:

·facilitate a better understanding by the investors of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

·remove duplicative disclosures and provide a more straightforward presentation in light of the fact that a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership; and

·create time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents Item 1 –Financial Statements as separate sections for each of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership.

In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, the separate sections in this report for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosures of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to such disclosures as those of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that directly or indirectly enters into contracts and real estate ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the Parent Company operates the business through the Operating Partnership.

As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements. The separate discussions of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company’s operations on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

This report also includes separate Item 4 - Controls and Procedures sections, signature pages and Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of  the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Parent Company and the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Operating Partnership have made the requisite certifications and that the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or “this Report”, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning the Company’s plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions and other information that is not historical information.  In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipates,” or “intends” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy.  Such statements are based on assumptions and expectations that may not be realized and are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated.  Although we believe the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, future events and actual results, performance, transactions or achievements, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results, performance, transactions or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.  As a result, you should not rely on or construe any forward-looking statements in this Report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, as predictions of future events or as guarantees of future performance.  We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report or as of the dates otherwise indicated in the statements.  All of our forward-looking statements, including those in this Report, are qualified in their entirety by this statement.

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in or contemplated by this Report.  Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties referred to in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

·national and local economic, business, real estate and other market conditions;

·the competitive environment in which we operate, including our ability to maintain or raise occupancy and rental rates;

·the execution of our business plan;

·the availability of external sources of capital;

·financing risks, including the risk of over-leverage and the corresponding risk of default on our mortgage and other debt and potential inability to refinance existing indebtedness;

·increases in interest rates and operating costs;

·counterparty non-performance related to the use of derivative financial instruments;

·our ability to maintain our Parent Company’s qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes;

·acquisition and development risks;

·increases in taxes, fees, and assessments from state and local jurisdictions;

·changes in real estate and zoning laws or regulations;

·risks related to natural disasters;

·potential environmental and other liabilities;

·other factors affecting the real estate industry generally or the self-storage industry in particular; and

·other risks identified in the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, and, from time to time, in other reports that we file with the SEC or in other documents that we publicly disseminate.

Given these uncertainties and the other risks identified elsewhere in this Report, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as may be required by securities laws.

CUBESMART AND CUBESMART, L.P.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

CubeSmart (the “Parent Company”) operates as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with its operations conducted solely through CubeSmart, L.P. and its subsidiaries.  CubeSmart, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), operates through an umbrella partnership structure, with the Parent Company, a Maryland REIT, as its sole general partner.  In the notes to the consolidated financial statements, we use the terms “the Company”, ‘we” or “our” to refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership together, unless the context indicates otherwise.   The Company’s self-storage facilities are located in 21 states throughout the United States and the District of Columbia and are presented under one reportable segment: the Company owns, operates, develops, manages and acquires self-storage facilities.

As of September 30, 2013, the Parent Company owned approximately 98.4% of the partnership interests (“OP Units”) of the Operating Partnership.  The remaining OP Units, consisting exclusively of limited partner interests, are held by persons who contributed their interests in facilities to us in exchange for OP Units.  Under the partnership agreement, these persons have the right to tender their OP Units for redemption to the Operating Partnership at any time for cash equal to the fair value of an equivalent number of common shares of the Parent Company.  In lieu of delivering cash, however, the Parent Company, as the Operating Partnership’s general partner, may, at its option, choose to acquire any OP Units so tendered by issuing common shares in exchange for the tendered OP Units.  If the Parent Company so chooses, its common shares will be exchanged for OP Units on a one-for-one basis.  This one-for-one exchange ratio is subject to adjustment to prevent dilution.  With each such exchange or redemption, the Parent Company’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase.  In addition, whenever the Parent Company issues common or other classes of its shares, it contributes the net proceeds it receives from the issuance to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership issues to the Parent Company an equal number of OP Units or other partnership interests having preferences and rights that mirror the preferences and rights of the shares issued.  This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT.”

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting and, in the opinion of each of the Parent Company’s and Operating Partnership’s respective management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each respective company for the interim periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.  Accordingly, readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should refer to the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the related notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future period or the full year.

Immaterial Correction to Prior Period Financial Statements

In the third quarter of 2013, we revised our 2012 disclosure in the consolidated statement of cash flows to reflect a decrease in both net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities of $11.1 million. This adjustment was made after completing an analysis that determined cash paid for acquisitions of self-storage facilities did not properly reflect the use of earnest money deposits, paid to Storage Deluxe in 2011, when certain facilities within the portfolio were acquired in 2012. After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative effects of this error, we have concluded that the impact on the Company’s prior interim period consolidated statements of cash flows was not material.

15

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to the accounting standard for the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”).  The amendment requires entities to disclose for items reclassified out of AOCI and into net income in their entirety, the effect of the reclassification on each affected income statement line item and for AOCI items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross reference to other required GAAP disclosures.  This amendment became effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  The adoption of this guidance in 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations as its impact was limited to disclosure requirements (see note 9).

4.  INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

2013 Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company acquired 14 facilities located throughout the United States for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $133.1 million.  In connection with these acquisitions, the Company allocated a portion of the purchase price to the intangible value of in-place leases which aggregated $9.1 million.   The estimated life of these in-place leases is 12 months and the amortization expense that was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $2.7 million.

Development

During 2012, the Company commenced construction of 5 Old Lancaster Road located in Malvern, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia.  Upon completion, the mixed-use facility will be comprised of rentable storage space and office space for the Company’s corporate headquarters.  Construction is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2013.  At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, development costs for this project totaled $17.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively.  These costs are capitalized to construction in progress while the project is under development and are reflected in Storage facilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of a storage facility located in Bronx, NY.  Construction is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2014.  At September 30, 2013, development costs for this project totaled $13.2 million.  These costs are capitalized to construction in progress while the project is under development and are reflected in Storage facilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

2012 Acquisitions

During 2012, as part of the $560 million Storage Deluxe transaction involving 22 Class A self-storage facilities located primarily in the greater New York City area, the Company acquired the final six facilities with a purchase price of approximately $201.9 million. The six facilities purchased are located in New York and Connecticut.  In connection with the acquisitions, the Company allocated a portion of the purchase price to the intangible value of in-place leases which aggregated $12.3 million.  The estimated life of these in-place leases is 12 months and the amortization expense that was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $4.5 million.  In connection with the six acquired facilities, the Company assumed mortgage debt, and recorded the debt at a fair value of $93.1 million, which includes an outstanding principal balance totaling $88.9 million and a net premium of $4.2 million in addition to the face value of the assumed debt to reflect the fair values of the debt at the time of assumption.

On September 28, 2012, the Company purchased, from its joint venture partner, the remaining 50% ownership in a partnership that owned nine storage facilities in Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, New Jersey and Florida, collectively the HSRE Venture (“HSREV”), for cash of $21.7 million. In addition, upon taking control of these assets, the Company repaid $59.3 million of mortgage loans related to the facilities.  Following the purchase, the Company wholly owned the nine storage facilities which were unencumbered and had a fair value of $102 million at acquisition.  In connection with this acquisition, the Company allocated a portion of the fair value to the intangible value of in-place leases which aggregated $8.3 million. The estimated life of these in-place leases is 12 months and the amortization expense that was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $6.2 million.

During 2012, the Company acquired an additional 22 self-storage facilities located throughout the United States for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $128.4 million.  In connection with these acquisitions, the Company allocated a portion of the purchase price to the intangible value of in-place leases which aggregated $13.2 million. The estimated life of these in-place leases is 12 months and the amortization expense that was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $7.9 million.  In connection with two of the acquired facilities, the Company assumed mortgage debt, and recorded the debt at a fair value of $13.9 million, which includes an outstanding principal balance totaling $13.4 million and a net premium of $0.5 million in addition to the face value of the assumed debt to reflect the fair values of the debt at the time of assumption.

5.  INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE VENTURE

On September 26, 2011, the Company contributed $15.4 million in cash for a 50% interest in a partnership that owns nine storage facilities in Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, New Jersey and Florida, collectively the HSRE Venture (“HSREV”). The other partner held the remaining 50% interest in the partnership.  HSREV was not consolidated because the Company was not the primary beneficiary, the limited partners had the ability to dissolve or remove the Company without cause and the Company did not possess substantive participating rights.  The Company accounted for its unconsolidated interest in its real estate venture using the equity method.  The Company’s investment in HSREV was included in Investment in real estate ventures, at equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and earnings attributable to HSREV were presented in Equity in loss of real estate venture on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

As explained in note 4, on September 28, 2012, the Company purchased the remaining 50% ownership in HSREV, for cash of $21.7 million. In addition, upon taking control of these assets, the Company repaid $59.3 million of mortgage loans related to the facilities.  As noted above, the Company previously accounted for its investment in HSREV using the equity method. As a result of this transaction, the Company obtained control of HSREV.  The Company’s original 50% interest was remeasured and as a result, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $7.0 million, which is reflected in Gain from remeasurement of investment in real estate venture on the accompanying statements of operations.

The Company’s equity in the loss of the real estate venture for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

The following is a summary of results of operations of the real estate venture for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 (in thousands).

	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 30, 2012
Revenue	$	2,426	$	7,229
Operating expenses	1,057		3,010
Interest expense, net	880		2,690
Depreciation and amortization	897		2,691
Net loss	(408)		(1,162)
Company’s share of loss	(284)		(745)

The results of operations above include the periods from July 1, 2012 through September 28, 2012 and January 1, 2012 through September 28, 2012, the date of the Company’s acquisition of the remaining 50% ownership interest.

6.  UNSECURED SENIOR NOTES

On June 26, 2012, the Operating Partnership issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due July 15, 2022 (the “senior notes”) which bear interest at a rate of 4.80%.  The indenture under which the unsecured senior notes were issued restricts the ability of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries to incur debt unless the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries comply with a leverage ratio not to exceed 60% and an interest coverage ratio of more than 1.5:1 after giving effect to the incurrence of the debt.  The indenture also restricts the ability of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries to incur secured debt unless the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries comply with a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 40% after giving effect to the incurrence of the debt.  The indenture also contains other financial and customary covenants, including a covenant not to own unencumbered assets with a value less than 150% of the unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership is currently in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the senior notes.

7.  REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND UNSECURED TERM LOANS

On June 20, 2011, the Company entered into an unsecured term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Facility”) which consisted of a $100 million term loan with a five-year maturity (“Term Loan A”) and a $100 million term loan with a seven-year maturity (“Term Loan B”).  The Company incurred costs of $2.1 million in connection with executing the agreement and capitalized such costs as a component of loan procurement costs, net of amortization on the consolidated balance sheet.

On December 9, 2011, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) comprised of a $100 million unsecured term loan maturing in December 2014 (“Term Loan C”); a $200 million unsecured term loan maturing in March 2017 (“Term Loan D”); and a $300 million unsecured revolving facility maturing in December 2015 (“Revolver”).  The Company incurred costs of $3.4 million in connection with executing the agreement and capitalized such costs as a component of loan procurement costs, net of amortization on the consolidated balance sheet.

On June 18, 2013, the Company amended both the Term Loan Facility and Credit Facility. With respect to the Term Loan Facility, among other things, the amendment extended the maturity and decreased the pricing of Term Loan A, while Term Loan B remained unchanged by the amendment. Pricing on the Term Loan Facility depends on the Company’s unsecured debt credit ratings. At the Company’s current Baa3/BBB- level, amounts drawn under Term Loan A are priced at 1.50% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, while amounts drawn under Term Loan B are priced at 2.00% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor.

		Term Loan Facility Prior to Amendment		Term Loan Facility As Amended
	Amount	Maturity Date	LIBOR Spread	Maturity Date	LIBOR Spread
Term Loan A	$100 million	June 2016	1.85%	June 2018	1.50%
Term Loan B	$100 million	June 2018	2.00%	June 2018	2.00%

With respect to the Credit Facility, among other things, the amendment extended the maturities of the Revolver and Term Loan D and decreased the pricing of the Revolver, Term Loan C and Term Loan D. Pricing on the Credit Facility depends on the Company’s unsecured debt credit ratings. At the Company’s current Baa3/BBB- level, amounts drawn under the Revolver are priced at 1.60% over LIBOR, inclusive of a facility fee of 0.30%, with no LIBOR floor, while amounts drawn under Term Loan C and Term Loan D are priced at 1.50% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor.

		Credit Facility Prior to Amendment		Credit Facility As Amended
	Amount	Maturity Date	LIBOR Spread	Maturity Date	LIBOR Spread
Revolver	$300 million	December 2015	1.80%	June 2017	1.60%
Term Loan C	$100 million	December 2014	1.75%	December 2014	1.50%
Term Loan D	$200 million	March 2017	1.75%	January 2019	1.50%

The Company incurred costs of $2.1 million in connection with amending the agreements and capitalized such costs as a component of loan procurement costs, net of amortization on the consolidated balance sheet.  Unamortized costs, along with costs incurred in connection with the amendments, are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining term of the modified facilities.

As of September 30, 2013, $200 million of unsecured term loan borrowings were outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, $300 million of unsecured term loan borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facility, $88.3 million of unsecured revolving credit facility borrowings were outstanding and $211.5 million was available for borrowing on the unsecured revolving portion of the Credit Facility.  The available balance under the unsecured revolving portion of the Credit Facility is reduced by an outstanding letter of credit of $0.2 million.  In connection with the unsecured borrowings, the Company had interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2013 that fix 30-day LIBOR (see note 10).  As of September 30, 2013, borrowings under the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, as amended, had an effective weighted average interest rate of 2.84%.

20

The Term Loan Facility and the term loans under the Credit Facility were fully drawn at September 30, 2013 and no further borrowings may be made under that facility and those term loans.  The Company’s ability to borrow under the revolving facility is subject to ongoing compliance with certain financial covenants which include:

·Maximum total indebtedness to total asset value of 60.0% at any time;

·Minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00; and

·Minimum tangible net worth of $821,211,200 plus 75% of net proceeds from equity issuances after June 30, 2010.

Further, under the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, the Company is restricted from paying distributions on common shares that would exceed an amount equal to the greater of (i) 95% of funds from operations, and (ii) such amount as may be necessary to maintain the Parent Company’s REIT status.

The Company is currently in compliance with all of its financial covenants and anticipates being in compliance with all of its financial covenants through the terms of the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility.

(a)See note 10 for additional information about the effects of the amounts reclassified.

10.  RISK MANAGEMENT AND USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate agreements or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative purposes. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific transactions. The counterparties to these arrangements are major financial institutions with which the Company and its subsidiaries may also have other financial relationships. The Company is potentially exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by these counterparties. However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, the Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet these obligations as they come due. The Company does not hedge credit or property value market risks.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements that qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges designed to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on its variable rate debt.   Therefore, the interest rate swaps are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders’ equity as Accumulated other comprehensive loss.  These deferred gains and losses are amortized into interest expense during the period or periods in which the related interest payments affect earnings.  However, to the extent that the interest rate swaps are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in value of the interest payments being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. 

23

The Company formally assesses, both at inception of a hedge and on an on-going basis, whether each derivative is highly-effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. If management determines that a derivative is highly-effective as a hedge, then the Company accounts for the derivative using hedge accounting, pursuant to which gains or losses inherent in the derivative do not impact the Company’s results of operations.  If management determines that a derivative is not highly-effective as a hedge or if a derivative ceases to be a highly-effective hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively and will reflect in its statement of operations realized and unrealized gains and losses in respect of the derivative.

The following table summarizes the terms and fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively (dollars in thousands):

							Fair Value
Hedge		Notional					September 30,		December 31,

(a)Hedging unsecured variable rate debt by fixing 30-day LIBOR.

The Company measures its derivative instruments at fair value and records them in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, all derivative instruments were included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.  The change in unrealized losses on interest rate swaps reflects a reclassification of approximately $4.6 million of unrealized losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss and $0.1 million of unrealized losses from noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership as an increase to interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

11.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company applies the methods of determining fair value as described in authoritative guidance, to value its financial assets and liabilities. As defined in the guidance, fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considering counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

24

Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of September 30, 2013 are classified in the table below in one of the three categories described above (dollars in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Interest Rate Swap Derivative Liabilities	$	-	$	12,412	$	-
Total liabilities at fair value	$	-	$	12,412	$	-

Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2012 are classified in the table below in one of the three categories described above (dollars in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Interest Rate Swap Derivative Liabilities	$	-	$	19,665	$	-
Total liabilities at fair value	$	-	$	19,665	$	-

Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value were classified as Level 2 inputs.  For financial liabilities that utilize Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including LIBOR yield curves, bank price quotes for forward starting swaps, NYMEX futures pricing and common stock price quotes. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for Level 2 financial liabilities:

·Interest rate swap derivative assets and liabilities – valued using LIBOR yield curves at the reporting date. Counterparties to these contracts are most often highly rated financial institutions, none of which experienced any significant downgrades in 2013 that would reduce the amount owed by the Company.  Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the Company’s derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and the counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2013, the Company has assessed the significance of the effect of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurement gain of approximately $7.0 million resulting from the remeasurement of its investment in an unconsolidated real estate venture (see note 5).  Fair value for those assets measured using Level 3 inputs was determined through the use of a direct capitalization approach. The direct capitalization approach applies a projected yield for the investment to the estimated stabilized income for the facility.  Yield rates utilized in this approach are derived from market transactions as well as other financial and industry data. The yield rates used in determining the fair value of HSREV ranged from 6%-7%.

The fair values of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their respective carrying values at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.   The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s debt was $1,044.4 million and $1,023.8 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $1,058.7 million and $1,017.3 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These estimates were based on a discounted cash flow analysis assuming market interest rates for comparable obligations at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt and the credit spreads over variable market rates on its variable rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates or credit spreads consistent with the maturity of the debt obligation with similar credit policies, which is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Rates and credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions and maturity.

12.  NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Variable Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

USIFB, LLP (“the Venture”) was formed to own, operate, acquire and develop self-storage facilities in England.  The Company owns a 97% interest in the Venture through a wholly-owned subsidiary and the Venture commenced operations at two facilities in London, England during 2008.  The Company determined that the Venture is a variable interest entity, and that the Company is the primary beneficiary.  Accordingly, the Company consolidates the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Venture.  At September 30, 2013, the Venture had total assets of $12.0 million and total liabilities of $7.4 million, including two mortgage loans totaling $6.7 million secured by storage facilities with a net book value of $11.4 million.  At September 30, 2013, the Venture’s creditors had no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

Operating Partnership Ownership

The Company follows guidance regarding the classification and measurement of redeemable securities.  Under this guidance, securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets, at the option of the holder and not solely within the control of the issuer, must be classified outside of permanent equity/capital.  This classification results in certain outside ownership interests being included as redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of permanent equity/capital in the consolidated balance sheets.  The Company makes this determination based on terms in applicable agreements, specifically in relation to redemption provisions.

Additionally, with respect to redeemable ownership interests in the Operating Partnership held by third parties for which CubeSmart has a choice to settle the redemption by delivery of its own shares, the Operating Partnership considered the guidance regarding accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company’s own shares, to evaluate whether CubeSmart controls the actions or events necessary to presume share settlement. The guidance also requires that noncontrolling interests classified outside of permanent capital be adjusted each period to the greater of the carrying value based on the accumulation of historical cost or the redemption value.

Approximately 1.6% and 2.4% of the outstanding OP Units as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, were not owned by CubeSmart, the sole general partner. The interests in the Operating Partnership represented by these OP Units were a component of the consideration that the Operating Partnership paid to acquire certain self-storage facilities. The holders of the OP Units are limited partners in the Operating Partnership and have the right to require CubeSmart to redeem all or part of their OP Units for, at the general partner’s option, an equivalent number of common shares of CubeSmart or cash based upon the fair value of an equivalent number of common shares of CubeSmart. However, the partnership agreement contains certain provisions that could result in a settlement outside the control of CubeSmart and the Operating Partnership, as CubeSmart does not have the ability to settle in unregistered shares.  Accordingly, consistent with the guidance, the Operating Partnership will record the OP Units owned by third parties outside of permanent capital in the consolidated balance sheets. Net income or loss related to the OP Units owned by third parties is excluded from net income or loss attributable to Operating Partner in the consolidated statements of operations.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 2,280,730 and 3,293,730 OP units, respectively, were outstanding. The per Unit cash redemption amount of the outstanding OP units was calculated based upon the average of the closing prices of the common shares of CubeSmart on the New York Stock Exchange for the 10 trading days ending prior to CubeSmart’s receipt of the redemption notice for the applicable Unit.  Based on the Company’s evaluation of the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests, the Company has reflected these interests at their redemption value at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, as the estimated redemption value exceeded their carrying value. The Operating Partnership recorded an increase to OP Units owned by third parties and a corresponding decrease to capital of $7.7 million and $19.5 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

13.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Corporate Office Leases

Subsequent to its entry into lease agreements with related parties for office space, the Operating Partnership entered into sublease agreements with various unrelated tenants for the related office space.  Each of these office properties is part of Airport Executive Park, a 50-acre office and flex development located in Cleveland, Ohio, which is owned by former executives. Our independent Trustees approved the terms of, and entry into, each of the office lease agreements by the Operating Partnership.  The table below shows the office space subject to these lease agreements and certain key provisions, including the term of each lease agreement, the period for which the Operating Partnership may extend the term of each lease agreement, and the minimum and maximum rents payable per month during the term.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.  The Company makes certain statements in this section that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.  For a discussion of forward-looking statements, see the section in this report entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.”  Certain risk factors may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the following discussion.  For a discussion of such risk factors, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Parent Company’s and Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Overview

The Company is an integrated self-storage real estate company, and as such we have in-house capabilities in the operation, design, development, leasing, management and acquisition of self-storage facilities.  The Parent Company’s operations are conducted solely through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.  The Parent Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company owned 382 and 381 self-storage facilities, respectively, totaling approximately 25.8 million and 25.5 million rentable square feet, respectively.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company owned facilities in the District of Columbia and the following 21 states:  Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.  In addition, as of September 30, 2013, the Company managed 136 facilities for third parties, bringing the total number of facilities which it owned and/or managed to 518.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company managed facilities for third parties in the following 25 states: Alabama, Arkansas , California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

The Company derives revenues principally from rents received from its customers who rent cubes at its self-storage facilities under month-to-month leases.  Therefore, our operating results depend materially on our ability to retain our existing customers and lease our available self-storage cubes to new customers while maintaining and, where possible, increasing our pricing levels.  In addition, our operating results depend on the ability of our customers to make required rental payments to us.  We have a decentralized approach to the management and operation of our facilities, which places an emphasis on local, market level oversight and control.  We believe this approach allows us to respond quickly and effectively to changes in local market conditions, and to maximize revenues by managing rental rates and occupancy levels.

The Company typically experiences seasonal fluctuations in the occupancy levels of our facilities, which are generally slightly higher during the summer months due to increased moving activity.

The United States continues to experience slow economic growth as it recovers from an economic downturn that resulted in higher unemployment, stagnant employment growth, shrinking demand for products, large-scale business failures and tight credit markets.  Our results of operations may be sensitive to changes in overall economic conditions that impact consumer spending, including discretionary spending, as well as to increased bad debts due to recessionary pressures.  A continuation of – or slow recovery from – ongoing adverse economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income, such as employment levels, business conditions, interest rates, tax rates, fuel and energy costs, and other matters could reduce consumer spending or cause consumers to shift their spending to other products and services.  A general reduction in the level of discretionary spending or shifts in consumer discretionary spending could adversely affect our growth and profitability.

In the future, the Company intends to continue its focus on maximizing internal growth opportunities and selectively pursuing targeted acquisitions and developments of self-storage facilities.

The Company has one reportable segment:  we own, operate, develop, manage and acquire self-storage facilities.

The Company’s self-storage facilities are located in major metropolitan and rural areas and have numerous tenants per facility.  No single tenant represents a significant concentration of our revenues.  The facilities in New York, Florida, Texas and California provided approximately 17%, 15%, 10% and 10%, respectively, of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies and estimates that management believes are critical to an understanding of the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report.  Certain of the accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are particularly important for an understanding of the financial position and results of operations presented in the historical consolidated financial statements included in this report.  A summary of significant accounting policies is also provided in the aforementioned notes to our consolidated financial statements.  These policies require the application of judgment and assumptions by management and, as a result, are subject to a degree of uncertainty.  Due to this uncertainty, actual results could differ from estimates calculated and utilized by management.

Self-Storage Facilities

The Company records self-storage facilities at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation on the buildings and equipment is recorded on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from five to 40 years. Expenditures for significant renovations or improvements that extend the useful life of assets are capitalized.  Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

When facilities are acquired, the purchase price is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values.  When a portfolio of facilities is acquired, the purchase price is allocated to the individual facilities based upon an income approach or a cash flow analysis using appropriate risk adjusted capitalization rates, which take into account the relative size, age and location of the individual facility along with current and projected occupancy and rental rate levels or appraised values, if available.  Allocations to the individual assets and liabilities are based upon comparable market sales information for land, buildings and improvements and estimates of depreciated replacement cost of equipment.

In allocating the purchase price for an acquisition, the Company determines whether the acquisition includes intangible assets or liabilities.  The Company allocates a portion of the purchase price to an intangible asset attributable to the value of in-place leases.  This intangible asset is generally amortized to expense over the expected remaining term of the in-place leases.  Substantially all of the leases in place at acquired facilities are at market rates, as the majority of the leases are month-to-month contracts.   Accordingly, to date no portion of the purchase price for an acquired facility has been allocated to above- or below-market lease intangibles.  To date, no intangible asset has been recorded for the value of tenant relationships, because the Company does not have any concentrations of significant tenants and the average tenant turnover is fairly frequent.

Long-lived assets classified as “held for use” are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances such as declines in occupancy and operating results indicate that there may be impairment.  The carrying value of these long-lived assets is compared to the undiscounted future net operating cash flows, plus a terminal value, attributable to the assets to determine if the facility’s basis is recoverable.  If a facility’s basis is not considered recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent the net carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value.  The impairment loss recognized equals the excess of net carrying value over the related fair value of the asset.  There were no impairment losses recognized in accordance with these procedures during 2013 and 2012.

The Company considers long-lived assets to be “held for sale” upon satisfaction of the following criteria: (a) management commits to a plan to sell a facility (or group of facilities), (b) the facility is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such facilities, (c) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the facility have been initiated, (d) the sale of the facility is probable and transfer of the asset is expected to be completed within one year, (e) the facility is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and (f) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Typically these criteria are all met when the relevant asset is under contract, significant non-refundable deposits have been made by the potential buyer, the assets are immediately available for transfer and there are no contingencies related to the sale that may prevent the transaction from closing.  However, each potential transaction is evaluated based on its separate facts and circumstances.  Facilities classified as held for sale are reported at the lesser of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell.

31

Revenue Recognition

Management has determined that all of our leases with tenants are operating leases.  Rental income is recognized in accordance with the terms of the lease agreements or contracts, which generally are month-to-month.

The Company recognizes gains from disposition of facilities only upon closing in accordance with the guidance on sales of real estate.  Payments received from purchasers prior to closing are recorded as deposits.  Profit on real estate sold is recognized using the full accrual method upon closing when the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured and the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale.  Profit may be deferred in whole or part until the sale meets the requirements of profit recognition on sales under this guidance.

Share-Based Payments

We apply the fair value method of accounting for contingently issued shares and share options issued under our equity incentive plans.  Accordingly, share compensation expense is recorded ratably over the vesting period relating to such contingently issued shares and options.   The Company has elected to recognize compensation expense on a straight-line method over the requisite service period.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests are the portion of equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent.  The ownership interests in the subsidiary that are held by owners other than the parent are noncontrolling interests.  In accordance with authoritative guidance issued on noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements, such noncontrolling interests are reported on the consolidated balance sheets within equity/capital, separately from the Parent Company’s equity/capital.  The guidance also requires that noncontrolling interests are adjusted each period so that the carrying value equals the greater of its carrying value based on the accumulation of historical cost or its redemption value.  On the consolidated statements of operations, revenues, expenses and net income or loss from less-than-wholly-owned subsidiaries are reported at the consolidated amounts, including both the amounts attributable to the Parent Company and noncontrolling interests.  Presentation of consolidated equity/capital activity is included for both quarterly and annual financial statements, including beginning balances, activity for the period and ending balances for shareholders’ equity/capital, noncontrolling interests and total equity/capital.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to the accounting standard for the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”).  The amendment requires entities to disclose for items reclassified out of AOCI and into net income in their entirety, the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income line item and for AOCI items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross reference to other required GAAP disclosures.  This amendment became effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  The adoption of this guidance in 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations as its impact was limited to disclosure requirements.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto.  Historical results set forth in the consolidated statements of operations reflect only the existing facilities and should not be taken as indicative of future operations.  The Company considers its same-store portfolio to consist of only those facilities owned and operated on a stabilized basis at the beginning and at the end of the applicable years presented.   We consider a facility to be stabilized once it has achieved an occupancy rate representative of similar self-storage facilities in the respective markets for a full year measured as of the most recent January 1 or has otherwise been placed in-service and has not been significantly damaged by natural disaster or undergone significant renovation.  Same-store results are considered to be useful to investors in evaluating our performance because it provides information relating to changes in facility-level operating performance without taking into account the effects of acquisitions, developments or dispositions.  At September 30, 2013, there were 299 same-store facilities and 62 non-same-store facilities, of which 51 were 2012 and 2013 acquisitions, 11 were facilities that were not stabilized, had been damaged by natural disaster or had undergone significant renovation.  In addition, 21 were facilities were held for sale as of September 30, 2013.

32

Acquisition and Disposition Activities

The comparability of the Company’s results of operations is affected by the timing of acquisition and disposition activities during the periods reported.  At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company owned 382 and 387 self-storage facilities and related assets, respectively.  The following table summarizes the change in number of owned self-storage facilities from January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013:

Revenues

Rental income increased from $61.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $73.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $11.9 million, or 19.4%. This increase is primarily attributable to $8.2 million of additional income from the facilities acquired in 2012 and 2013 and increases in average occupancy on the same-store portfolio which contributed $3.7 million to the increase in rental income during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Other property related income increased from $7.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $8.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $1.5 million, or 21.4%.  This increase is primarily attributable to $0.6 million of additional income from the 2012 and 2013 acquisitions and increased tenant insurance commissions on the same-store portfolio of $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses increased from $27.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $30.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $3.0 million, or 11.2%.  This increase is primarily attributable to $2.9 million of increased expenses associated with newly acquired facilities as well as increased expenses on the same-store portfolio.  The escalation in same-store expenses is primarily associated with expected increases in real estate tax assessments.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense decreased from $11.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $10.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 9.9%.  The decrease is attributable to a lower weighted average effective interest rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The weighted average effective interest rate of our outstanding debt decreased from 4.28% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to 3.75% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of the repayment of secured debt and amendments to our Term Loan Facility and Credit Facility. This decrease was partially offset by a higher average debt balance during the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $1,065.2 million, up from $1,019.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Acquisition related costs decreased from $1.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Acquisition costs are non-recurring and fluctuate based on quarterly investment activity.  The Company acquired four facilities during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 24 facilities during the same period in 2012.

Gain from remeasurement of investment in real estate venture was $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, with no comparable gains during the 2013 period.  This gain is related to the HSREV interest remeasurement following the purchase of the remaining 50% ownership in the venture.

Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations decreased from $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.   Income during the 2013 period represents the results of operations during the quarter for the 8 facilities sold during the quarter as well as the 21 facilities classified as held-for-sale at September 30, 2013 while income during the 2012 period represents the results of operations during the quarter for those facilities plus the 26 facilities that the Company sold during 2012.  Gain from disposition of discontinued operations increased from $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $9.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013.  These gains are determined on a transactional basis and accordingly are not comparable across reporting periods.

Revenues

Rental income increased from $172.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $208.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $36.6 million, or 21.3%. This increase is primarily attributable to $26.3 million of additional income from the facilities acquired in 2012 and 2013 and increases in average occupancy on the same-store portfolio, which contributed $10.3 million to the increase in rental income during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Other property related income increased from $18.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $24.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $5.4 million, or 28.6%.  This increase is primarily attributable to $2.2 million of additional income from the 2012 and 2013 acquisitions and increased tenant insurance commissions on the same-store portfolio of $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses increased from $76.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $87.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $11.1 million, or 14.6%.  This increase is primarily attributable to $8.8 million of increased expenses associated with newly acquired facilities as well as increased expenses on the same-store portfolio.

36

The escalation in same-store expenses is primarily associated with snow removal and utilities due to a colder winter in 2013 compared to the prior year as well as expected increases in real estate tax assessments.

Depreciation and amortization increased from $79.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $86.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $7.0 million, or 8.8%.  This increase is primarily attributable to depreciation and amortization expense related to the 2012 and 2013 acquisitions.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense increased from $29.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $31.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $1.3 million, or 4.6%.  The increase is attributable to a higher amount of outstanding debt in 2013.  To fund a portion of the Company’s growth, the average debt balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased approximately $130.4 million from the same period in 2012, from $907.3 million to $1,037.7 million.  This increase was offset by a decrease in the weighted average effective interest rate of our outstanding debt from 4.33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 3.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of the repayment of secured debt and amendments to our Term Loan Facility and Credit Facility.

Loan procurement amortization expense decreased from $2.6 million during 2012 to $1.5 million during 2013.  This decrease is the result of accelerated amortization expense in the prior year related to early repayment of debt.

Gain from remeasurement of investment in real estate venture was $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, with no comparable gains during the 2013 period.  This gain is related to the HSREV interest remeasurement from the purchase of the remaining 50% ownership in the venture.

Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations decreased from $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Income during the 2013 period represents the results of operations during the year for the 13 facilities sold during the year as well as the 21 facilities classified as held-for-sale at September 30, 2013 while income during the 2012 period represents the results of operations during the year for those facilities plus the 26 facilities that the Company sold during 2012. Gain from disposition of discontinued operations increased from $6.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $9.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  These gains are determined on a transactional basis and accordingly are not comparable across reporting periods.

Cash Flows

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the nine months ended September 30, 2012

A comparison of cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		Change
Net cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	103,891	$	86,069	$	17,822
Investing activities	$	(130,273)	$	(260,659)	$	130,386
Financing activities	$	24,827	$	168,228	$	(143,401)

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $103.9 million and $86.1 million, respectively, an increase of $17.8 million.  Our principal source of cash flow is from the operation of our facilities. Our increased cash flow from operating activities is primarily attributable to our 2012 acquisitions and increased net operating income levels for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The 2012 acquisitions, the majority of which were completed during the third quarter of 2012, contributed to the increase in operating cash flows as the facilities were owned and operated for the full nine month period ended September 30, 2013 as opposed to limited operations during the same period in 2012.

37

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, cash flows used in investing activities were $130.3 million and $260.7 million, respectively, a decrease of $130.4 million.  Cash flows used in investing activities, except for recurring capital expenditures, are typically non-recurring and fluctuate based on acquisition and disposition activity.  The decrease was the result of lower acquisition activity during the nine months of 2013. During the 2012 period, the Company acquired 32 facilities compared to 14 facilities during the same period in 2013, a decrease in cash used for acquisitions of $143.6 million.  This decrease is partially offset by $25.6 million in development costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 relating to facilities under development.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, cash flows provided by financing activities were $24.8 million and $168.2 million, respectively, a decrease of $143.4 million.  Cash flows provided by financing activities are primarily used to fund investing activities.  The decrease in cash flows provided by financing activities correlates to the decrease in cash flows used in investing activities as a result of fewer acquisitions during the nine months of 2013.  This decrease is partially offset by increased distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Overview

Our cash flow from operations has historically been one of our primary sources of liquidity used to fund debt service, distributions and capital expenditures.  We derive substantially all of our revenue from customers who lease space from us at our facilities.  Therefore, our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our customers.  We believe that the facilities in which we invest — self-storage facilities — are less sensitive than other real estate product types to current near-term economic downturns.  However, prolonged economic downturns will adversely affect our cash flows from operations.

In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Parent Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, excluding capital gains, to its shareholders on an annual basis or pay federal income tax.  The nature of our business, coupled with the requirement that we distribute a substantial portion of our income on an annual basis, will cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over both the short term and the long term.

Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our facilities, refinancing of certain mortgage indebtedness, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on debt, expected distributions to limited partners and shareholders, costs to develop facilities and recurring capital expenditures.  These funding requirements will vary from year to year, in some cases significantly.  We expect remaining recurring capital expenditures in the 2013 fiscal year to be approximately $7.0 million to $12.0 million.  In addition, we expect costs associated with development activities for the remainder of the 2013 fiscal year to be approximately $3.0 million to $6.0 million.  Our currently scheduled principal payments on debt (including debt maturities) are approximately $8.0 million for the remainder of 2013.

Our most restrictive debt covenants limit the amount of additional leverage we can add; however, we believe cash flow from operations, access to our “at the market” equity program and access to our Credit Facility are adequate to execute our current business plan and remain in compliance with our debt covenants.

Our liquidity needs beyond 2013 consist primarily of contractual obligations which include repayments of indebtedness at maturity, as well as potential discretionary expenditures such as (i) non-recurring capital expenditures; (ii) redevelopment of operating facilities; (iii) acquisitions of additional facilities; and (iv) development of new facilities.  We will have to satisfy our needs through either additional borrowings, including borrowings under the revolving portion of our Credit Facility, sales of common or preferred shares and/or cash generated through facility dispositions and joint venture transactions.

Notwithstanding the discussion above, we believe that, as a publicly traded REIT, we will have access to multiple sources of capital to fund long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of additional equity.  However, we cannot provide any assurance that this will be the case.  Our ability to incur additional debt will be dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders.

38

In addition, dislocation in the United States debt markets may significantly reduce the availability and increase the cost of long-term debt capital, including conventional mortgage financing and commercial mortgage-backed securities financing.  There can be no assurance that such capital will be readily available in the future.  Our ability to access the equity capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about us.

As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately $2.9 million in available cash and cash equivalents.  In addition, we had approximately $211.5 million of availability for borrowings under our Credit Facility.

Unsecured Senior Notes and Bank Credit Facilities

On June 26, 2012, the Operating Partnership issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due July 15, 2022 (the “senior notes”) which bear interest at a rate of 4.80%.  The indenture under which the unsecured senior notes were issued restricts the ability of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries to incur debt unless the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries comply with a leverage ratio not to exceed 60% and an interest coverage ratio of more than 1.5:1 after giving effect to the incurrence of the debt.  The indenture also restricts the ability of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries to incur secured debt unless the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries comply with a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 40% after giving effect to the incurrence of the debt.  The indenture also contains other financial and customary covenants, including a covenant not to own unencumbered assets with a value less than 150% of the unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership is currently in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the senior notes.

On June 20, 2011, the Company entered into an unsecured term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Facility”) which consisted of a $100 million term loan with a five-year maturity (“Term Loan A”) and a $100 million term loan with a seven-year maturity (“Term Loan B”).

On December 9, 2011, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) comprised of a $100 million unsecured term loan maturing in December 2014 (“Term Loan C”); a $200 million unsecured term loan maturing in March 2017 (“Term Loan D”); and a $300 million unsecured revolving facility maturing in December 2015 (“Revolver”).

On June 18, 2013, the Company amended both the Term Loan Facility and Credit Facility. With respect to the Term Loan Facility, among other things, the amendment extended the maturity and decreased the pricing of Term Loan A, while Term Loan B remained unchanged by the amendment. Pricing on the Term Loan Facility depends on the Company’s unsecured debt credit ratings. At the Company’s current Baa3/BBB- level, amounts drawn under Term Loan A are priced at 1.50% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, while amounts drawn under Term Loan B are priced at 2.00% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor.

		Term Loan Facility Prior to Amendment		Term Loan Facility As Amended
	Amount	Maturity Date	LIBOR Spread	Maturity Date	LIBOR Spread
Term Loan A	$100 million	June 2016	1.85%	June 2018	1.50%
Term Loan B	$100 million	June 2018	2.00%	June 2018	2.00%

With respect to the Credit Facility, among other things, the amendment extended the maturities of the Revolver and Term Loan D and decreased the pricing of the Revolver, Term Loan C and Term Loan D.  Pricing on the Credit Facility depends on the Company’s unsecured debt credit ratings.  At the Company’s current Baa3/BBB- level, amounts drawn under the Revolver are priced at 1.60% over LIBOR, inclusive of a facility fee of 0.30%, with no LIBOR floor, while amounts drawn under Term Loan C and Term Loan D are priced at 1.50% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor.

		Credit Facility Prior to Amendment		Credit Facility As Amended
	Amount	Maturity Date	LIBOR Spread	Maturity Date	LIBOR Spread
Revolver	$300 million	December 2015	1.80%	June 2017	1.60%
Term Loan C	$100 million	December 2014	1.75%	December 2014	1.50%
Term Loan D	$200 million	March 2017	1.75%	January 2019	1.50%

39

As of September 30, 2013, $200 million of unsecured term loan borrowings were outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, $300 million of unsecured term loan borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facility, $88.3 million of unsecured revolving credit facility borrowings were outstanding and $211.5 million was available for borrowing on the unsecured revolving portion of the Credit Facility.  The available balance under the unsecured revolving portion of the Credit Facility is reduced by an outstanding letter of credit of $0.2 million.

In connection with the unsecured borrowings, the Company had interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2013 that fix 30-day LIBOR.

Applicable Hedging Arrangements
	Notional Amount	Maturity Date	Effective LIBOR Fixed Rate
	$100 million	June 2016	1.803%
	$200 million	March 2017	1.336%
	$100 million	June 2018	2.468%

As of September 30, 2013, borrowings under the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, as amended, had an effective weighted average interest rate of 2.84%.

The Term Loan Facility and the term loans under the Credit Facility were fully drawn at September 30, 2013 and no further borrowings may be made under that facility and those term loans.  The Company’s ability to borrow under the revolving facility is subject to ongoing compliance with certain financial covenants which include:

·Maximum total indebtedness to total asset value of 60.0% at any time;

·Minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00; and

·Minimum tangible net worth of $821,211,200 plus 75% of net proceeds from equity issuances after June 30, 2010.

Further, under the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, the Company is restricted from paying distributions on common shares that would exceed an amount equal to the greater of (i) 95% of funds from operations, and (ii) such amount as may be necessary to maintain the Parent Company’s REIT status.

The Company is currently in compliance with all of its financial covenants and anticipates being in compliance with all of its financial covenants through the terms of the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility.

At The Market Program

Pursuant to our previous sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the “Previous Sales Agent”), dated April 3, 2009, as amended on January 26, 2011 and September 16, 2011 (as amended, the “Previous Sales Agreement”), the Company had the option to sell up to 20 million common shares at “at the market” prices. From January 1, 2013 until the termination of the Previous Sales Agreement on May 7, 2013, we sold 0.1 million common shares under the Previous Sales Agreement with an average sales price of $15.30 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $1.5 million under the program ($165.3 million of gross proceeds and 16.2 million shares sold with an average sales price of $10.19 since program inception in 2009). The Company incurred $0.02 million of offering costs in conjunction with the 2013 sales. The proceeds from the sales conducted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 under the Previous Sales Agreement were used to fund general working purposes.

On May 7, 2013, the Company terminated the Previous Sales Agreement with the Previous Sales Agent and entered into separate Equity Distribution Agreements (the “Equity Distribution Agreements”) with each of Wells Fargo Securities LLC; BMO Capital Markets Corp.; Jefferies LLC; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated; and RBC Capital Markets, LLC (collectively, the “Sales Agents”).   Pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreements, the Company may sell, from time to time, up to 12 million common shares of beneficial interest through the Sales Agents.  From the inception of the Equity Distribution Agreements on May 7, 2013 to September 30, 2013, the Company sold 3.0 million shares under the Equity Distribution Agreements, with an average sales price of $17.33 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $52.0 million under the program.  The Company incurred $1.0 million of offering costs in conjunction with the sales.  The proceeds from the sales conducted under the Equity Distribution Agreements from the inception of such agreements on May 7, 2013 to September 30, 2013 were used to fund acquisitions of storage facilities and general working purposes.  As of September 30, 2013, 9.0 million common shares remained available for issuance under the Equity Distribution Agreements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

NOI

We define net operating income, which we refer to as “NOI,” as total continuing revenues less continuing property operating expenses.  NOI also can be calculated by adding back to net income (loss): interest expense on loans, loan procurement amortization expense, acquisition related costs, equity in loss of real estate venture, amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, other expense, depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expense, and deducting from net income: income from discontinued operations, gain from disposition of discontinued operations, other income, gain from remeasurement of investment in real estate venture and interest income.  NOI is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We use NOI as a measure of operating performance at each of our facilities, and for all of our facilities in the aggregate.  NOI should not be considered as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We believe NOI is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because:

·It is one of the primary measures used by our management and our facility managers to evaluate the economic productivity of our facilities, including our ability to lease our facilities, increase pricing and occupancy, and control our property operating expenses;

·It is widely used in the real estate industry and the self-storage industry to measure the performance and value of real estate assets without regard to various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization expense, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets; and

·It enables our investors to meaningfully compare the results of our operating performance from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense on our outstanding indebtedness) and depreciation of our basis in our assets from our operating results.

There are material limitations to using a measure such as NOI, including the difficulty associated with comparing results among more than one company and the inability to analyze certain significant items, including depreciation and interest expense, that directly affect our net income.  We compensate for these limitations by considering the economic effect of the excluded expense items independently as well as in connection with our analysis of net income.  NOI should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as total revenues, operating income and net income.

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance.  The April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (the “White Paper”), as amended, defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and real estate related impairment charges, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Management uses FFO as a key performance indicator in evaluating the operations of the Company’s facilities. Given the nature of its business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company considers FFO to be a key measure of its operating performance that is not specifically defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company believes that FFO is useful to management and investors as a starting point in measuring its operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of its operating performance - such as gains (or losses) from sales of property, gains from remeasurement of investment in real estate ventures, impairments of depreciable assets, and depreciation - and which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies.

41

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and is not a measure of liquidity or an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO 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.

FFO, as adjusted

FFO, as adjusted represents FFO as defined above, excluding the effects of acquisition related costs, gains or losses from early extinguishment of debt, and other non-recurring items, which we believe are not indicative of the Company’s operating results.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevailing interest rates.

42

Market Risk

Our investment policy relating to cash and cash equivalents is to preserve principal and liquidity while maximizing the return through investment of available funds.

Effect of Changes in Interest Rates on our Outstanding Debt

Our interest rate risk objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates for a portion of our borrowings through the use of derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps or caps to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to effectively fix the interest rate on a portion of our variable rate debt.  The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market rates.  The range of changes chosen reflects our view of changes which are reasonably possible over a one-year period.  Market values are the present value of projected future cash flows based on the market rates chosen.

As of September 30, 2013 our consolidated debt consisted of $851.2 million of outstanding mortgages, unsecured senior notes and unsecured term loans that are subject to fixed rates, including variable rate debt that is effectively fixed through our use of interest rate swaps.  As of September 30, 2013, there was $193.2 million of outstanding mortgages and credit facility borrowings subject to floating rates.  Changes in interest rates have different impacts on the fixed and variable rate portions of our debt portfolio.  A change in interest rates on the fixed portion of the debt portfolio impacts the net financial instrument position, but has no impact on interest incurred or cash flows.  A change in interest rates on the variable portion of the debt portfolio impacts the interest incurred and cash flows, but does not impact the net financial instrument position.

If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increase by 100 basis points, the increase in annual interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.9 million per year.  If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt decrease by 100 basis points, the decrease in interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.9 million per year.

If market rates of interest increase by 100 basis points, the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate mortgage debt, unsecured senior notes and unsecured term loans would decrease by approximately $42.6 million.  If market rates of interest decrease by 100 basis points, the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate mortgage debt, unsecured senior notes and unsecured term loans would increase by approximately $46.6 million.

Exhibit 10.1

ADVISORY AGREEMENT

This Advisory Agreement (this “Agreement”) is effective as of November 6, 2013 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Dean Jernigan (“Jernigan”) and CubeSmart, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, Jernigan and the Company desire to provide for the terms of the Company’s engagement of Jernigan as a paid advisor to the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

1.Engagement.  The Company hereby engages Jernigan as a non-employee consultant, and Jernigan hereby accepts such engagement by the Company, for the period and upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.  Jernigan shall perform services hereunder only as an independent contractor and only at the written direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  Under no circumstances shall Jernigan be construed to be an employee of the Company with respect to his advisory services, and Jernigan shall not be entitled to participate in any of the Company’s employee benefit plans.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence, Jernigan’s duties and obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed to (a) qualify Jernigan as a Participant under the Amended and Restated CubeSmart 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), and (b) qualify as Service and a Service Provider under the CubeSmart 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan” collectively with the 2007 Plan, the “Plans”) and Jernigan shall continue during the Term (as defined below) to have all rights and duties provided in any applicable award agreement made to Jernigan pursuant to the Plans.  The Company shall not be liable to withhold taxes (except for mandatory withholding solely related to the vesting of any award made under the Plans), provide any insurance or otherwise be obligated as an employer. Jernigan agrees to pay and to be solely responsible for any and all taxes due and owing on Jernigan’s compensation for the advisory services rendered under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, all federal, state and local income, social security, Medicare, workers’ compensation insurance, and unemployment compensation insurance.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed (a) to create a partnership, joint venture or formal business organization between the Company and Jernigan, (b) to grant any authority to Jernigan to bind the Company or any of its Affiliates, or (c) to cause either party to be responsible in any way for the debts, liabilities or obligations of the other party.

2.Duties; Related Matters.  During the Term (as defined below), Jernigan shall be available to the Company, upon reasonable notice from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to provide consultation and advice for transition services, special research projects, business development initiatives and strategic planning as and to the extent requested by, and subject to the express direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (collectively, his “Duties”).  The Company anticipates that Jernigan will devote no more than 20 hours each calendar quarter to perform his Duties.  In the performance of his Duties for the Company, Jernigan shall not have the authority to bind the Company to agreements or arrangements and shall not execute documents in the name of the Company.

3.Term.  The term of Jernigan’ engagement with the Company pursuant to this Agreement (the “Term”) shall extend through, but not after, the first to occur of (i) Jernigan’s death, (ii) 5:00 p.m. on December 31, 2016, or (iii) such other date and time prior to such date as the Company and Jernigan may agree.  At any time after December 31, 2014, either the Company (in its sole and absolute discretion) or Jernigan may terminate this Agreement on ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other party.

4.Compensation.  The Company shall pay Jernigan compensation in the form of an advisory fee of One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000.00) for each hour (or part thereof) of advisory services provided by Jernigan to the Company for the Term, payable monthly in arrears.  In connection with the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall pay Jernigan a non-refundable retainer fee of Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00), which shall be applied against advisory services requested by the Company of Jernigan.  The Company shall have no obligation to pay compensation under this Agreement to Jernigan following the expiration of the Term as provided in Section 3 above.

5.Miscellaneous.

(a)Controlling Law.  This Agreement, and all questions relating to its validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

Eastern Time, otherwise as of the first Business Day thereafter; or (ii) if delivered by first class, registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or verified mail, three Business Days after mailing.  Notices shall be deemed to be properly addressed to any party hereto if addressed to the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

(d)Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any party who executes the same, and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of each of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories.

(f)Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as herein contained.  The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.  This Agreement may not be modified or amended other than by an agreement in writing.

(g)Section and Paragraph Headings.  The section and paragraph headings in this Agreement are for convenience only; they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its interpretation.

(h)Assignability.  This Agreement is not assignable by Jernigan.  It is assignable by the Company only (i) to any Affiliate of the Company so long as the Company agrees to guarantee such Affiliate’s obligations hereunder (and in such event the Company’s guaranty would continue notwithstanding any subsequent transaction pursuant to which any such Affiliate ceased to be an Affiliate of the Company, whether as a result of its sale or otherwise) or (ii) to an entity which is a successor in interest to the Company or which acquires all or substantially all of its assets, whether by merger, consolidation or other form of business combination.

(i)Section 409A.  The Company and Jernigan agree and acknowledge that Jernigan’s employment relationship with the Company will cease, effective as of December 31, 2013 and that such cessation of employment will be a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”).  The Company and Jernigan further agree and acknowledge that the services Jernigan is to provide to the Company under this Agreement shall be at a level that will not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the average level of Jernigan’s services as an employee of the Company over the thirty six (36)-month period preceding Jernigan’s date of termination as an employee with the Company.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

RISK MANAGEMENT AND USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

RISK MANAGEMENT AND USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

10.  RISK MANAGEMENT AND USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate agreements or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative purposes. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific transactions. The counterparties to these arrangements are major financial institutions with which the Company and its subsidiaries may also have other financial relationships. The Company is potentially exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by these counterparties. However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, the Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet these obligations as they come due. The Company does not hedge credit or property value market risks.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements that qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges designed to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on its variable rate debt.   Therefore, the interest rate swaps are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders’ equity as Accumulated other comprehensive loss.  These deferred gains and losses are amortized into interest expense during the period or periods in which the related interest payments affect earnings.  However, to the extent that the interest rate swaps are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in value of the interest payments being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately.  The Company formally assesses, both at inception of a hedge and on an on-going basis, whether each derivative is highly-effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. If management determines that a derivative is highly-effective as a hedge, then the Company accounts for the derivative using hedge accounting, pursuant to which gains or losses inherent in the derivative do not impact the Company’s results of operations.  If management determines that a derivative is not highly-effective as a hedge or if a derivative ceases to be a highly-effective hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively and will reflect in its statement of operations realized and unrealized gains and losses in respect of the derivative.

The following table summarizes the terms and fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively (dollars in thousands):

							Fair Value

		$	400,000				$	(12,412)	$	(19,665)

(a) Hedging unsecured variable rate debt by fixing 30-day LIBOR.

The Company measures its derivative instruments at fair value and records them in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, all derivative instruments were included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.  The change in unrealized losses on interest rate swaps reflects a reclassification of approximately $4.6 million of unrealized losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss and $0.1 million of unrealized losses from noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership as an increase to interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting and, in the opinion of each of the Parent Company’s and Operating Partnership’s respective management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each respective company for the interim periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.  Accordingly, readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should refer to the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the related notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future period or the full year.

Immaterial Correction to Prior Period Financial Statements

Immaterial Correction to Prior Period Financial Statements

In the third quarter of 2013, we revised our 2012 disclosure in the consolidated statement of cash flows to reflect a decrease in both net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities of $11.1 million. This adjustment was made after completing an analysis that determined cash paid for acquisitions of self-storage facilities did not properly reflect the use of earnest money deposits, paid to Storage Deluxe in 2011, when certain facilities within the portfolio were acquired in 2012. After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative effects of this error, we have concluded that the impact on the Company’s prior interim period consolidated statements of cash flows was not material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to the accounting standard for the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”).  The amendment requires entities to disclose for items reclassified out of AOCI and into net income in their entirety, the effect of the reclassification on each affected income statement line item and for AOCI items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross reference to other required GAAP disclosures.  This amendment became effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  The adoption of this guidance in 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations as its impact was limited to disclosure requirements (see note 9).

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

11.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company applies the methods of determining fair value as described in authoritative guidance, to value its financial assets and liabilities. As defined in the guidance, fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considering counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of September 30, 2013 are classified in the table below in one of the three categories described above (dollars in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Interest Rate Swap Derivative Liabilities	$	-	$	12,412	$	-
Total liabilities at fair value	$	-	$	12,412	$	-

Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2012 are classified in the table below in one of the three categories described above (dollars in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Interest Rate Swap Derivative Liabilities	$	-	$	19,665	$	-
Total liabilities at fair value	$	-	$	19,665	$	-

Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value were classified as Level 2 inputs.  For financial liabilities that utilize Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including LIBOR yield curves, bank price quotes for forward starting swaps, NYMEX futures pricing and common stock price quotes. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for Level 2 financial liabilities:

· Interest rate swap derivative assets and liabilities – valued using LIBOR yield curves at the reporting date. Counterparties to these contracts are most often highly rated financial institutions, none of which experienced any significant downgrades in 2013 that would reduce the amount owed by the Company.  Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the Company’s derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and the counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2013, the Company has assessed the significance of the effect of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurement gain of approximately $7.0 million resulting from the remeasurement of its investment in an unconsolidated real estate venture (see note 5).  Fair value for those assets measured using Level 3 inputs was determined through the use of a direct capitalization approach. The direct capitalization approach applies a projected yield for the investment to the estimated stabilized income for the facility.  Yield rates utilized in this approach are derived from market transactions as well as other financial and industry data. The yield rates used in determining the fair value of HSREV ranged from 6%-7%.

The fair values of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their respective carrying values at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.   The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s debt was $1,044.4 million and $1,023.8 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $1,058.7 million and $1,017.3 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These estimates were based on a discounted cash flow analysis assuming market interest rates for comparable obligations at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt and the credit spreads over variable market rates on its variable rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates or credit spreads consistent with the maturity of the debt obligation with similar credit policies, which is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Rates and credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions and maturity.

ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

1.  ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

CubeSmart (the “Parent Company”) operates as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with its operations conducted solely through CubeSmart, L.P. and its subsidiaries.  CubeSmart, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), operates through an umbrella partnership structure, with the Parent Company, a Maryland REIT, as its sole general partner.  In the notes to the consolidated financial statements, we use the terms “the Company”, ‘we” or “our” to refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership together, unless the context indicates otherwise.   The Company’s self-storage facilities are located in 21 states throughout the United States and the District of Columbia and are presented under one reportable segment: the Company owns, operates, develops, manages and acquires self-storage facilities.

As of September 30, 2013, the Parent Company owned approximately 98.4% of the partnership interests (“OP Units”) of the Operating Partnership.  The remaining OP Units, consisting exclusively of limited partner interests, are held by persons who contributed their interests in facilities to us in exchange for OP Units.  Under the partnership agreement, these persons have the right to tender their OP Units for redemption to the Operating Partnership at any time for cash equal to the fair value of an equivalent number of common shares of the Parent Company.  In lieu of delivering cash, however, the Parent Company, as the Operating Partnership’s general partner, may, at its option, choose to acquire any OP Units so tendered by issuing common shares in exchange for the tendered OP Units.  If the Parent Company so chooses, its common shares will be exchanged for OP Units on a one-for-one basis.  This one-for-one exchange ratio is subject to adjustment to prevent dilution.  With each such exchange or redemption, the Parent Company’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase.  In addition, whenever the Parent Company issues common or other classes of its shares, it contributes the net proceeds it receives from the issuance to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership issues to the Parent Company an equal number of OP Units or other partnership interests having preferences and rights that mirror the preferences and rights of the shares issued.  This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT.”

2013 Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company acquired 14 facilities located throughout the United States for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $133.1 million.  In connection with these acquisitions, the Company allocated a portion of the purchase price to the intangible value of in-place leases which aggregated $9.1 million.   The estimated life of these in-place leases is 12 months and the amortization expense that was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $2.7 million.

Development

During 2012, the Company commenced construction of 5 Old Lancaster Road located in Malvern, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia.  Upon completion, the mixed-use facility will be comprised of rentable storage space and office space for the Company’s corporate headquarters.  Construction is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2013.  At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, development costs for this project totaled $17.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively.  These costs are capitalized to construction in progress while the project is under development and are reflected in Storage facilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of a storage facility located in Bronx, NY.  Construction is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2014.  At September 30, 2013, development costs for this project totaled $13.2 million.  These costs are capitalized to construction in progress while the project is under development and are reflected in Storage facilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

2012 Acquisitions

During 2012, as part of the $560 million Storage Deluxe transaction involving 22 Class A self-storage facilities located primarily in the greater New York City area, the Company acquired the final six facilities with a purchase price of approximately $201.9 million. The six facilities purchased are located in New York and Connecticut.  In connection with the acquisitions, the Company allocated a portion of the purchase price to the intangible value of in-place leases which aggregated $12.3 million.  The estimated life of these in-place leases is 12 months and the amortization expense that was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $4.5 million.  In connection with the six acquired facilities, the Company assumed mortgage debt, and recorded the debt at a fair value of $93.1 million, which includes an outstanding principal balance totaling $88.9 million and a net premium of $4.2 million in addition to the face value of the assumed debt to reflect the fair values of the debt at the time of assumption.

On September 28, 2012, the Company purchased, from its joint venture partner, the remaining 50% ownership in a partnership that owned nine storage facilities in Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, New Jersey and Florida, collectively the HSRE Venture (“HSREV”), for cash of $21.7 million. In addition, upon taking control of these assets, the Company repaid $59.3 million of mortgage loans related to the facilities.  Following the purchase, the Company wholly owned the nine storage facilities which were unencumbered and had a fair value of $102 million at acquisition.  In connection with this acquisition, the Company allocated a portion of the fair value to the intangible value of in-place leases which aggregated $8.3 million. The estimated life of these in-place leases is 12 months and the amortization expense that was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $6.2 million.

During 2012, the Company acquired an additional 22 self-storage facilities located throughout the United States for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $128.4 million.  In connection with these acquisitions, the Company allocated a portion of the purchase price to the intangible value of in-place leases which aggregated $13.2 million. The estimated life of these in-place leases is 12 months and the amortization expense that was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $7.9 million.  In connection with two of the acquired facilities, the Company assumed mortgage debt, and recorded the debt at a fair value of $13.9 million, which includes an outstanding principal balance totaling $13.4 million and a net premium of $0.5 million in addition to the face value of the assumed debt to reflect the fair values of the debt at the time of assumption.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting and, in the opinion of each of the Parent Company’s and Operating Partnership’s respective management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each respective company for the interim periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.  Accordingly, readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should refer to the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the related notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future period or the full year.

Immaterial Correction to Prior Period Financial Statements

In the third quarter of 2013, we revised our 2012 disclosure in the consolidated statement of cash flows to reflect a decrease in both net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities of $11.1 million. This adjustment was made after completing an analysis that determined cash paid for acquisitions of self-storage facilities did not properly reflect the use of earnest money deposits, paid to Storage Deluxe in 2011, when certain facilities within the portfolio were acquired in 2012. After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative effects of this error, we have concluded that the impact on the Company’s prior interim period consolidated statements of cash flows was not material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to the accounting standard for the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”).  The amendment requires entities to disclose for items reclassified out of AOCI and into net income in their entirety, the effect of the reclassification on each affected income statement line item and for AOCI items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross reference to other required GAAP disclosures.  This amendment became effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  The adoption of this guidance in 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations as its impact was limited to disclosure requirements (see note 9).

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND UNSECURED TERM LOANS

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND UNSECURED TERM LOANS

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND UNSECURED TERM LOANS

7.  REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND UNSECURED TERM LOANS

On June 20, 2011, the Company entered into an unsecured term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Facility”) which consisted of a $100 million term loan with a five-year maturity (“Term Loan A”) and a $100 million term loan with a seven-year maturity (“Term Loan B”).  The Company incurred costs of $2.1 million in connection with executing the agreement and capitalized such costs as a component of loan procurement costs, net of amortization on the consolidated balance sheet.

On December 9, 2011, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) comprised of a $100 million unsecured term loan maturing in December 2014 (“Term Loan C”); a $200 million unsecured term loan maturing in March 2017 (“Term Loan D”); and a $300 million unsecured revolving facility maturing in December 2015 (“Revolver”).  The Company incurred costs of $3.4 million in connection with executing the agreement and capitalized such costs as a component of loan procurement costs, net of amortization on the consolidated balance sheet.

On June 18, 2013, the Company amended both the Term Loan Facility and Credit Facility. With respect to the Term Loan Facility, among other things, the amendment extended the maturity and decreased the pricing of Term Loan A, while Term Loan B remained unchanged by the amendment. Pricing on the Term Loan Facility depends on the Company’s unsecured debt credit ratings. At the Company’s current Baa3/BBB- level, amounts drawn under Term Loan A are priced at 1.50% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, while amounts drawn under Term Loan B are priced at 2.00% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor.

		Term Loan Facility Prior to Amendment		Term Loan Facility As Amended
	Amount	Maturity Date	LIBOR Spread	Maturity Date	LIBOR Spread
Term Loan A	$100 million	June 2016	1.85%	June 2018	1.50%
Term Loan B	$100 million	June 2018	2.00%	June 2018	2.00%

With respect to the Credit Facility, among other things, the amendment extended the maturities of the Revolver and Term Loan D and decreased the pricing of the Revolver, Term Loan C and Term Loan D. Pricing on the Credit Facility depends on the Company’s unsecured debt credit ratings. At the Company’s current Baa3/BBB- level, amounts drawn under the Revolver are priced at 1.60% over LIBOR, inclusive of a facility fee of 0.30%, with no LIBOR floor, while amounts drawn under Term Loan C and Term Loan D are priced at 1.50% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor.

		Credit Facility Prior to Amendment		Credit Facility As Amended
	Amount	Maturity Date	LIBOR Spread	Maturity Date	LIBOR Spread
Revolver	$300 million	December 2015	1.80%	June 2017	1.60%
Term Loan C	$100 million	December 2014	1.75%	December 2014	1.50%
Term Loan D	$200 million	March 2017	1.75%	January 2019	1.50%

The Company incurred costs of $2.1 million in connection with amending the agreements and capitalized such costs as a component of loan procurement costs, net of amortization on the consolidated balance sheet.  Unamortized costs, along with costs incurred in connection with the amendments, are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining term of the modified facilities.

As of September 30, 2013, $200 million of unsecured term loan borrowings were outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, $300 million of unsecured term loan borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facility, $88.3 million of unsecured revolving credit facility borrowings were outstanding and $211.5 million was available for borrowing on the unsecured revolving portion of the Credit Facility.  The available balance under the unsecured revolving portion of the Credit Facility is reduced by an outstanding letter of credit of $0.2 million.  In connection with the unsecured borrowings, the Company had interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2013 that fix 30-day LIBOR (see note 10).  As of September 30, 2013, borrowings under the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, as amended, had an effective weighted average interest rate of 2.84%.

The Term Loan Facility and the term loans under the Credit Facility were fully drawn at September 30, 2013 and no further borrowings may be made under that facility and those term loans.  The Company’s ability to borrow under the revolving facility is subject to ongoing compliance with certain financial covenants which include:

· Maximum total indebtedness to total asset value of 60.0% at any time;

· Minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00; and

· Minimum tangible net worth of $821,211,200 plus 75% of net proceeds from equity issuances after June 30, 2010.

Further, under the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, the Company is restricted from paying distributions on common shares that would exceed an amount equal to the greater of (i) 95% of funds from operations, and (ii) such amount as may be necessary to maintain the Parent Company’s REIT status.

The Company is currently in compliance with all of its financial covenants and anticipates being in compliance with all of its financial covenants through the terms of the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility.

Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Company acquired one facility located in Maryland for $15.4 million (including the assumption of $8.5 million of debt).

On October 28, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “HAC Purchase Agreement”) to acquire 29 self-storage facilities located in Houston and Austin, Texas and one self-storage facility located in Charlotte, North Carolina.  At the time of the execution of the HAC Purchase Agreement, $20 million was deposited in escrow.  In addition, on October 28, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “GJR Purchase Agreement”) to acquire six self-storage facilities located in Houston, Texas.  At the time of the execution of the GJR Purchase Agreement, $5 million was deposited in escrow.  The closings of the acquisitions are expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2013.

At a regularly scheduled meeting of our Board of Trustees (the “Board”) on November 6, 2013, Dean Jernigan, our Chief Executive Officer and Trustee, submitted written notice of his resignation from our Board effective December 31, 2013 concurrent with his resignation as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer which was previously announced in June 2012.  Mr. Jernigan’s resignation is not the result of any disagreement with the Company relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Mr. Jernigan also confirmed his previously announced resignation from his office of Chief Executive Officer.  In connection with the receipt of Mr. Jernigan’s resignation from the Board, our Board appointed Christopher P. Marr as a member of our Board upon the effective date of Mr. Jernigan’s resignation.  As previously disclosed, on February 20, 2013, Mr. Marr was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective upon Mr. Jernigan’s retirement date.  Mr. Marr will stand for election to our Board at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Company’s shareholders.

At a regularly scheduled meeting of our Board on November 6, 2013, our Board authorized the Company to enter into an Advisory Agreement dated November 6, 2013 with Mr. Jernigan.  Under the Advisory Agreement, Mr. Jernigan may be asked to perform advisory and consulting services to the Company at the direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  The Company anticipates Mr. Jernigan will devote no more than 20 hours each calendar quarter to provide services under the Agreement.  Mr. Jernigan will be paid an hourly rate of $1,000 for each hour of advisory or consulting services performed for the Company pursuant to the Advisory Agreement.  The Company paid Mr. Jernigan a $10,000 retainer against future billings by Mr. Jernigan under the Advisory Agreement.  The Advisory Agreement extends for a period not to exceed December 31, 2016, but is terminable earlier due to Mr. Jernigan’s death, by mutual agreement, or on 90 days prior written notice by either party at any time after December 31, 2014.

On June 26, 2012, the Operating Partnership issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due July 15, 2022 (the “senior notes”) which bear interest at a rate of 4.80%.  The indenture under which the unsecured senior notes were issued restricts the ability of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries to incur debt unless the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries comply with a leverage ratio not to exceed 60% and an interest coverage ratio of more than 1.5:1 after giving effect to the incurrence of the debt.  The indenture also restricts the ability of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries to incur secured debt unless the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries comply with a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 40% after giving effect to the incurrence of the debt.  The indenture also contains other financial and customary covenants, including a covenant not to own unencumbered assets with a value less than 150% of the unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership is currently in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the senior notes.

5.  INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE VENTURE

On September 26, 2011, the Company contributed $15.4 million in cash for a 50% interest in a partnership that owns nine storage facilities in Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, New Jersey and Florida, collectively the HSRE Venture (“HSREV”). The other partner held the remaining 50% interest in the partnership.  HSREV was not consolidated because the Company was not the primary beneficiary, the limited partners had the ability to dissolve or remove the Company without cause and the Company did not possess substantive participating rights.  The Company accounted for its unconsolidated interest in its real estate venture using the equity method.  The Company’s investment in HSREV was included in Investment in real estate ventures, at equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and earnings attributable to HSREV were presented in Equity in loss of real estate venture on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

As explained in note 4, on September 28, 2012, the Company purchased the remaining 50% ownership in HSREV, for cash of $21.7 million. In addition, upon taking control of these assets, the Company repaid $59.3 million of mortgage loans related to the facilities.  As noted above, the Company previously accounted for its investment in HSREV using the equity method. As a result of this transaction, the Company obtained control of HSREV.  The Company’s original 50% interest was remeasured and as a result, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $7.0 million, which is reflected in Gain from remeasurement of investment in real estate venture on the accompanying statements of operations.

The Company’s equity in the loss of the real estate venture for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

The following is a summary of results of operations of the real estate venture for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 (in thousands).

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

12.  NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Variable Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

USIFB, LLP (“the Venture”) was formed to own, operate, acquire and develop self-storage facilities in England.  The Company owns a 97% interest in the Venture through a wholly-owned subsidiary and the Venture commenced operations at two facilities in London, England during 2008.  The Company determined that the Venture is a variable interest entity, and that the Company is the primary beneficiary.  Accordingly, the Company consolidates the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Venture.  At September 30, 2013, the Venture had total assets of $12.0 million and total liabilities of $7.4 million, including two mortgage loans totaling $6.7 million secured by storage facilities with a net book value of $11.4 million.  At September 30, 2013, the Venture’s creditors had no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

Operating Partnership Ownership

The Company follows guidance regarding the classification and measurement of redeemable securities.  Under this guidance, securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets, at the option of the holder and not solely within the control of the issuer, must be classified outside of permanent equity/capital.  This classification results in certain outside ownership interests being included as redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of permanent equity/capital in the consolidated balance sheets.  The Company makes this determination based on terms in applicable agreements, specifically in relation to redemption provisions.

Additionally, with respect to redeemable ownership interests in the Operating Partnership held by third parties for which CubeSmart has a choice to settle the redemption by delivery of its own shares, the Operating Partnership considered the guidance regarding accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company’s own shares, to evaluate whether CubeSmart controls the actions or events necessary to presume share settlement. The guidance also requires that noncontrolling interests classified outside of permanent capital be adjusted each period to the greater of the carrying value based on the accumulation of historical cost or the redemption value.

Approximately 1.6% and 2.4% of the outstanding OP Units as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, were not owned by CubeSmart, the sole general partner. The interests in the Operating Partnership represented by these OP Units were a component of the consideration that the Operating Partnership paid to acquire certain self-storage facilities. The holders of the OP Units are limited partners in the Operating Partnership and have the right to require CubeSmart to redeem all or part of their OP Units for, at the general partner’s option, an equivalent number of common shares of CubeSmart or cash based upon the fair value of an equivalent number of common shares of CubeSmart. However, the partnership agreement contains certain provisions that could result in a settlement outside the control of CubeSmart and the Operating Partnership, as CubeSmart does not have the ability to settle in unregistered shares.  Accordingly, consistent with the guidance, the Operating Partnership will record the OP Units owned by third parties outside of permanent capital in the consolidated balance sheets. Net income or loss related to the OP Units owned by third parties is excluded from net income or loss attributable to Operating Partner in the consolidated statements of operations.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 2,280,730 and 3,293,730 OP units, respectively, were outstanding. The per Unit cash redemption amount of the outstanding OP units was calculated based upon the average of the closing prices of the common shares of CubeSmart on the New York Stock Exchange for the 10 trading days ending prior to CubeSmart’s receipt of the redemption notice for the applicable Unit.  Based on the Company’s evaluation of the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests, the Company has reflected these interests at their redemption value at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, as the estimated redemption value exceeded their carrying value. The Operating Partnership recorded an increase to OP Units owned by third parties and a corresponding decrease to capital of $7.7 million and $19.5 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
