EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2014 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, 2014, owned a 98.5% interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 1.5% 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.

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, 2013 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.  Because of the factors referred to above, the future events discussed in or incorporated by reference in this Report may not occur and actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from that anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

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.   As of September 30, 2014, the Company owned self-storage facilities located in 21 states throughout the United States and the District of Columbia which are presented under one reportable segment: the Company owns, operates, develops, manages and acquires self-storage facilities.

As of September 30, 2014, the Parent Company owned approximately 98.5% 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 the Operating Partnership 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 in the United States (“GAAP”).  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, 2013, 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, 2013.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future period or the full year.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to the accounting standard for the reporting of discontinued operations.  The update redefines discontinued operations, changing the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements.

15

This amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015; however, early adoption is permitted.  The Company elected to adopt this guidance in 2014 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.  The Company disposed of one asset during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, however the disposal did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations under the new guidance.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company acquired 22 self-storage facilities located throughout the United States for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $269.6 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 $18.8 million at the time of such acquisitions and prior to any amortization of such amounts.  The estimated life of these in-place leases was 12 months and the amortization expense that was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $8.0 million.  In connection with four of the acquired facilities, the Company assumed mortgage debt, and recorded the debt at a fair value of $27.5 million, which included an outstanding principal balance totaling $26.0 million and a net premium of $1.5 million to reflect the estimated fair value of the debt at the time of assumption.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company was under contract and had made deposits of $9.0 million associated with five facilities under construction for a total purchase price of $123.2 million.  These deposits are reflected in Other assets, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.  The purchase of these five properties is expected to occur by the fourth quarter of 2015 after the completion of construction and the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.  These acquisitions are subject to due diligence and other customary closing conditions and no assurance can be provided that these acquisitions will be completed on the terms described, or at all.

On August 25, 2014, the Operating Partnership entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale with certain limited liability companies controlled by HSRE REIT I and HSRE REIT II, each Maryland real estate investment trusts, to acquire (the “HSRE Acquisition”) 26 self-storage facilities for an aggregate purchase price of $223.0 million plus customary closing costs.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company had made a deposit of $5.0 million with respect to the HSRE Acquisition, which deposit is reflected in Other assets, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.  The HSRE Acquisition will close in two tranches.  The Company completed its due diligence on all of the facilities and closed on the first tranche of 22 facilities for an aggregate purchase price of $195.5 million on November 3, 2014.  The Company expects to close on the remaining four facilities no later than March 31, 2015.

Development

During 2012, the Company commenced construction of 5 Old Lancaster Road located in Malvern, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia.  The mixed-use facility is comprised of rentable storage space and office space for the Company’s corporate headquarters.  During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company relocated its corporate headquarters to 5 Old Lancaster Road.  Construction was completed on the portion of the building comprised of rentable storage space and the facility opened for operation during the first quarter of 2014.  Total costs for this mixed-use project were $25.1 million at September 30, 2014.

During 2013, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of a self-storage facility located in Bronx, NY.  Construction of the facility was substantially completed and the facility opened for operation during the first quarter of 2014.

18

Total costs for this project were $17.2 million at September 30, 2014.  These costs are capitalized to building and improvements as well as equipment and are reflected in Storage facilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

During 2013, the Company entered into contracts under newly-formed joint ventures for the construction of three self-storage facilities located in New York and one self-storage facility located in Virginia (see note 12).  Construction for all projects is expected to be completed during 2015.  At September 30, 2014, development costs for these projects totaled $30.3 million.  These costs are capitalized to construction in progress while the projects are under development and are reflected in Storage facilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

2014 Disposition

On June 30, 2014, the Company sold one asset in London, England owned by USIFB, LLP, a consolidated real estate joint venture in which the Company owns a 97% interest, for an aggregate sales price of £4.1 million (approximately $7.0 million).  The Company received net proceeds of $7.0 million, a portion of which were used to repay the loan the Company made to the venture, and recorded a gain of $0.5 million as a result of the transaction.

2013 Acquisitions

During 2013, the Company acquired 20 self-storage facilities located throughout the United States for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $189.8 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 $13.5 million at the time of such acquisitions and prior to any amortization of such amounts.   The estimated life of these in-place leases was 12 months and the amortization expense that was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $7.4 million.  In connection with one of the acquired facilities, the Company assumed mortgage debt, and recorded the debt at a fair value of $8.9 million, which included an outstanding principal balance totaling $8.5 million and a net premium of $0.4 million in addition to the face value of the assumed debt to reflect the fair value of the debt at the time of assumption.

The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue and earnings associated with the 2014 and 2013 acquisitions from the respective acquisition dates in the period they were acquired, included in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

5.  INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE VENTURE

On December 10, 2013, the Company acquired a 50% ownership interest in 35 self-storage facilities located in Texas (34) and North Carolina (1) through a newly-formed joint venture (“HHF”).  HHF paid $315.7 million for these facilities.  The Company and the unaffiliated joint venture partner, collectively the “HHF Partners,” each contributed cash equal to 50% of the capital required to fund the acquisition.  HHF was not consolidated as the entity was not determined to be a VIE and the HHF Partners have equal ownership and voting rights in the entity.  The Company accounts for its unconsolidated interest in the real estate venture using the equity method.  The Company’s investment in HHF is included in Investment in real estate venture, at equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and losses attributed to HHF are presented in Equity in losses of real estate venture on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

19

On May 1, 2014, HHF obtained a $100 million loan secured by the 34 self-storage facilities located in Texas that are owned by the venture. There is no recourse to the Company, subject to customary exceptions to non-recourse provisions. The loan bears interest at 3.59% per annum and matures on April 30, 2021. This financing completed the planned capital structure of HHF and proceeds (net of closing costs) of $99.2 million were distributed proportionately to the partners.

The amounts reflected in the following table are based on the historical financial information of the real estate venture.

6.  UNSECURED SENIOR NOTES

On December 17, 2013, the Operating Partnership issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.375% unsecured senior notes due December 15, 2023 (the “2023 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 “2022 Senior Notes”) which bear interest at a rate of 4.80%.  The 2023 Senior Notes along with the 2022 Senior Notes are collectively referred to as the “Senior Notes.”  The indenture under which the 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. 

20

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. As of September 30, 2014, the Operating Partnership was 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.  On August 5, 2014, the Company further amended the Term Loan Facility (collectively with the amendment on June 18, 2013, the “Amendments”) to extend the maturity and decrease the pricing of Term Loan B.

Pricing on the Term Loan Facility depends on the Company’s unsecured debt credit ratings.  At the Company’s current Baa2/BBB level, amounts drawn under Term Loan A are priced at 1.30% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, while amounts drawn under Term Loan B are priced at 1.15% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor.

		Term Loan Facility Prior to Amendments			Term Loan Facility As Amended
			LIBOR Spread			LIBOR Spread (1)
	Amount	Maturity Date	Baa3/BBB-	Baa2/BBB	Maturity Date	Baa3/BBB-	Baa2/BBB
Term Loan A	$100 million	June 2016	1.85%	1.65%	June 2018	1.50%	1.30%
Term Loan B	$100 million	June 2018	2.00%	1.80%	January 2020	1.40%	1.15%

(1)On September 25, 2014, the Company’s unsecured debt credit rating was upgraded to Baa2 from Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service with a stable outlook.  As a result, the LIBOR spreads were reduced, effective October 1, 2014.

With respect to the Credit Facility, among other things, the Amendments 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 Baa2/BBB level, amounts drawn under the Revolver are priced at 1.30% over LIBOR, inclusive of a facility fee of 0.20%, with no LIBOR floor, while amounts drawn under Term Loan C and Term Loan D are priced at 1.30% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor.

		Credit Facility Prior to Amendments			Credit Facility As Amended
			LIBOR Spread			LIBOR Spread (2)
	Amount	Maturity Date	Baa3/BBB-	Baa2/BBB	Maturity Date	Baa3/BBB-	Baa2/BBB
Revolver	$300 million	December 2015	1.80%	1.50%	June 2017	1.60%	1.30%
Term Loan C (1)	$100 million	December 2014	1.75%	1.45%	December 2014	1.50%	1.30%
Term Loan D	$200 million	March 2017	1.75%	1.45%	January 2019	1.50%	1.30%

21

(1)On December 17, 2013, the Company repaid the $100 million balance under Term Loan C that was scheduled to mature in December 2014.

(2)On September 25, 2014, the Company’s unsecured debt credit rating was upgraded to Baa2 from Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service with a stable outlook.  As a result, the LIBOR spreads were reduced, effective October 1, 2014.

The Company incurred costs of $2.1 million in 2013 and $0.2 million in 2014 in connection with the Amendments 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. In connection with the repayment of Term Loan C, the Company recognized $0.4 million related to the write-off of unamortized loan procurement costs associated with the term loan.

As of September 30, 2014, $200 million of unsecured term loan borrowings were outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, $200 million of unsecured term loan borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facility, and $300 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 $30 thousand.  In connection with a portion of the unsecured borrowings, the Company had interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2014 that fix 30-day LIBOR (see note 10).  As of September 30, 2014, borrowings under the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, as amended and after giving effect to the interest rate swaps, had an effective weighted average interest rate of 3.21%.

The Term Loan Facility and the term loan under the Credit Facility were fully drawn at September 30, 2014 and no further borrowings may be made under the term loans.  The Company’s ability to borrow under the revolving portion of the Credit 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 the Parent Company’s common shares in excess of 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.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company was 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.

10.  RISK MANAGEMENT AND USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate swap 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. 

24

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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively (dollars in thousands):

							Fair Value

(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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 loss on interest rate swap reflects a reclassification of $4.8 million of unrealized losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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.

25

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, 2014 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	$	-	$	8,219	$	-
Total liabilities at fair value	$	-	$	8,219	$	-

Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 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	$	-	$	10,763	$	-
Total liabilities at fair value	$	-	$	10,763	$	-

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 2014 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, 2014, 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.

The fair values of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their respective carrying values at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.   The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s debt was $1.1 billion at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, while the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $1.1 billion at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  These estimates were based on a discounted cash flow analysis assuming market interest rates for comparable obligations at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  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.

12.  NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

251 Jamaica Ave, LLC (“Jamaica Ave”) was formed to own, operate, and develop a self-storage facility in New York, NY.  The Company owns a 51% interest in Jamaica Ave and 49% is owned by another member (“Jamaica Ave Member”).  The facility is expected to commence operations during 2015.  The Jamaica Ave Member has an option to put its ownership interest in the venture to the Company for $12.5 million within the one-year period after construction of the facility is substantially complete.  Additionally, the Company has a one-year option to call the ownership interest of the Jamaica Ave Member for $12.5 million beginning on the second anniversary of the facility’s construction being substantially complete.  The Company determined that Jamaica Ave 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 Jamaica Ave.  At September 30, 2014, Jamaica Ave had total assets of $12.9 million and total liabilities of $6.0 million.

CS SNL New York Ave, LLC and 186 Jamaica Avenue, LLC, collectively known as “SNL”, were formed with a partner to own, operate and develop two self-storage facilities in the boroughs of New York, NY.  The Company owns 90% of SNL and the facilities are expected to commence operations during 2015.  The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of SNL.  At September 30, 2014, SNL had total assets of $10.7 million and total liabilities of $1.1 million.  The Company has provided $0.6 million of a total $20.1 million loan commitment to SNL which is secured by a mortgage on the real estate assets of SNL.  The loan and related interest was eliminated during consolidation.

Shirlington Rd, LLC (“SRLLC”) was formed to own, operate, and develop a self-storage facility in Northern Virginia.  The Company owns a 90% interest in SRLLC and the facility is expected to commence operations during 2015.  The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of SRLLC.  During 2013, SRLLC acquired land for development for $13.1 million. In 2014, SRLLC completed the planned subdivision of the land into two parcels and sold one parcel for $6.5 million.  No gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction.  SRLLC retained the second parcel of land for the development of the storage facility.  At September 30, 2014, SRLLC had total assets of $11.7 million and total liabilities of $7.6 million.  The Company has provided $6.4 million of a total $14.6 million loan commitment to SRLLC, which loan is secured by a mortgage on the real estate assets of SRLLC.  The loan and related interest was eliminated during consolidation.

USIFB, LLP (“USIFB”) was formed to own, operate, acquire and develop self-storage facilities in England.  The Company owns a 97% interest in the USIFB through a wholly-owned subsidiary and USIFB commenced operations at two facilities in London, England during 2008.  The Company determined that USIFB 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 USIFB.  On December 31, 2013 the Company provided a $6.8 million (£4.1 million) loan secured by a mortgage on real estate assets of USIFB.  On June 30, 2014, one of the assets was sold and the loan was repaid with proceeds from the sale.  The loan and any related interest was eliminated during consolidation.  At September 30, 2014, USIFB had total assets of $5.9 million and total liabilities of $0.3 million.

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.

27

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 1.5% and 1.6% of the outstanding OP Units as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 2,257,486 and 2,275,730 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 final 10 trading days of the quarter. 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 $5.2 million and $3.3 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

13.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Affiliated Real Estate Investments

The Company provides management services to certain joint ventures and other related party facilities.  Management agreements provide generally for management fees of between 5-6% of cash collections at the managed facilities.  Management fees for unconsolidated joint ventures or other entities in which the Company held an ownership interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.  The Company had no ownership interests in unconsolidated joint ventures or other entities at September 30, 2013.

The management agreements for certain joint ventures, other related parties and third-party facilities provide for the reimbursement to the Company for certain expenses incurred to manage the facilities.  These amounts consist of amounts due for management fees, payroll, and other expenses incurred on behalf of the facilities.  The amounts due to the Company were $1.4 million and $2.1 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Additionally, as discussed in note 12 the Company has outstanding mortgage loans receivable from consolidated joint ventures of $7.0 million and $15.8 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, that are eliminated for consolidation purposes.  The Company believes that all of these related-party receivables are fully collectible.

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 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.

(1)Our Operating Partnership may extend the lease agreement beyond the termination date by the period set forth in this column at prevailing market rates upon the same terms and conditions contained in each of the lease agreements.

In addition to monthly rent, the office lease agreements provide that our Operating Partnership reimburse for certain maintenance and improvements to the leased office space.  The aggregate amount of payments incurred under these lease agreements for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, was approximately $0.4 million.

Total future minimum rental payments due in accordance with the related party lease agreements are $0.1 million and total future cash receipts due from our subtenants are $0.1 million as of September 30, 2014.

14.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, discontinued operations relates to real estate tax refunds received as a result of appeals of previous tax assessments on six self-storage facilities that the Company sold in prior years.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, discontinued operations relates to 35 facilities sold during 2013.

The following table summarizes the revenue and expense information for the facilities classified as discontinued operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

16.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the Company acquired three self-storage facilities in Texas for an aggregate purchase price of $23.9 million.

On October 2, 2014, the Company amended its equity distribution agreements with various sales agents to increase the number of common shares of beneficial interest authorized for sale through its “at-the-market” equity program from 20.0 million to 30.0 million.

On October 20, 2014, the Parent Company completed its public offering of 7,475,000 common shares at a public offering price of $19.33, which reflects the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase 975,000 shares to cover over-allotments.  We received approximately $143.0 million in net proceeds from the offering after deducting the underwriting discount and other estimated offering expenses.

On November 3, 2014, the Company acquired the first tranche of 22 self-storage facilities as part of the HSRE Acquisition.  The facilities are located in California, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, New York, Ohio and Rhode Island.  The aggregate purchase price for the 22 facilities was approximately $195.5 million.  The remaining four facilities are expected to close during the first quarter of 2015.

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, 2013.

Overview

We are 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we owned 390 and 366 self-storage facilities, respectively, totaling approximately 26.4 million and 24.7 million rentable square feet, respectively.  As of September 30, 2014, we owned facilities in the District of Columbia and the following 21 states:  Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia.  In addition, as of September 30, 2014, we managed 172 facilities for third parties (including 35 facilities as part of an unconsolidated real estate venture) bringing the total number of facilities which we owned and/or managed to 562.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company managed facilities in the following 22 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

We derive revenues principally from rents received from our customers who rent cubes at our 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.  Our approach to the management and operation of our facilities combines centralized marketing, revenue management and other operational support with local operations teams that provide 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.

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

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 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.

We continue our focus on maximizing internal growth opportunities and selectively pursuing targeted acquisitions and developments of self-storage facilities.

We have one reportable segment:  we own, operate, develop, manage and acquire self-storage facilities.

Our self-storage facilities are located in major metropolitan and suburban areas and have numerous customers per facility.  No single customer represents a significant concentration of our revenues.  The facilities in New York, Florida, Texas and California provided approximately 17%, 17%, 10% and 8%, respectively, of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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 (See note 2 to the unaudited 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.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company, and its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries.  The portion of these entities not owned by the Company is presented as noncontrolling interests as of and during the periods presented.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, the Company evaluates the entity to determine if the entity is deemed a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) on the consolidation of VIEs.  When an entity is not deemed to be a VIE, the Company considers the provisions of additional FASB guidance to determine whether a general partner, or the general partners as a group, controls a limited partnership or similar entity when the limited partners have certain rights.  The Company consolidates (i) entities that are VIEs and of which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which the Company controls and in which the limited partners do not have substantive participating rights, or the ability to dissolve the entity or remove the Company without cause.

 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 39 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 property has been allocated to above- or below-market lease intangibles.  To date, no intangible asset has been recorded for the value of customer relationships, because the Company does not have any concentrations of significant customers and the average customer 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 an 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 property’s basis is recoverable.  If a property’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.

32

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 2014 and 2013.

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.

Revenue Recognition

Management has determined that all of our leases with customers 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 on 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.

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures under the equity method of accounting.  Under the equity method, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are recorded initially at cost, as investments in real estate entities, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings (losses), cash contributions, less distributions and impairments.

33

On a periodic basis, management also assesses whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated real estate entities may be other than temporarily impaired. An investment is impaired only if the fair value of the investment, as estimated by management, is less than the carrying value of the investment and the decline is other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment, as estimated by management. The determination as to whether impairment exists requires significant management judgment about the fair value of its ownership interest. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party appraisals.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to the accounting standard for the reporting of discontinued operations.  The update redefines discontinued operations, changing the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements.  This amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015; however early adoption is permitted.  The Company elected to adopt this guidance in 2014 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.  The Company disposed of one asset during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, however the disposal did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations under the new guidance.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

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 periods presented.   We consider a property to be stabilized once it has achieved an occupancy rate representative of similar self-storage assets 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.  We believe that same-store results are useful to investors in evaluating our performance because they provide information relating to changes in facility-level operating performance without taking into account the effects of acquisitions, developments or dispositions.  At September 30, 2014, there were 346 same-store facilities and 44 non-same-store facilities.  All of the non-same-store facilities were 2013 and 2014 acquisitions or developed facilities.

34

Acquisition and Development 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, 2014 and 2013, the Company owned 390 and 382 self-storage facilities and related assets, respectively.  The following table summarizes the change in number of owned self-storage facilities from January 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014:

	2014	2013

Revenues

Rental income increased from $72.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $85.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $12.7 million, or 17.4%.  This increase is primarily attributable to $7.5 million of additional income from the facilities acquired in 2013 and 2014 and increases in net rental rates and average occupancy on the same-store portfolio which contributed to the $5.2 million increase in rental income during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Other property related income increased from $8.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $10.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $1.5 million, or 18.5%.  This increase is primarily attributable to increased tenant insurance commissions on the same-store and non-same-store portfolios of $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses increased from $30.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $33.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $3.6 million, or 12.0%.

36

This increase is attributable to $2.7 million of increased expenses associated with newly acquired facilities, $0.3 million of increased expenses attributable to real estate taxes associated with the same-store portfolio and $0.6 million of increased expenses associated with the management of third-party facilities.

Acquisition-related costs increased from $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014.  Acquisition-related costs are non-recurring and fluctuate based on quarterly investment activity.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense increased from $10.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $11.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $1.8 million, or 18.1%.  The increase is attributable to a higher amount of outstanding debt in the 2014 period.  To fund a portion of the Company’s growth, the average debt balance during the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased approximately $85 million from the same period in 2013, from $1,065 million to $1,150 million.  In addition, the weighted average effective interest rate on our outstanding debt increased from 3.75% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to 4.09% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Equity in losses of real estate venture was $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 with no comparable amount during the 2013 period.  This expense is related to the Company’s share of the losses attributable to HHF, a partnership in which the Company acquired a 50% ownership interest during the fourth quarter of 2013.

Revenues

Rental income increased from $207.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $242.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $34.5 million, or 16.6%.  This increase is primarily attributable to $20.2 million of additional income from the facilities acquired in 2013 and 2014 and increases in net rental rates and average occupancy on the same-store portfolio which contributed to the $14.3 million increase in rental income during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Other property related income increased from $24.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $30.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $5.9 million, or 24.6%.  This increase is primarily attributable to increased tenant insurance commissions of $2.4 million on the same-store portfolio and $2.1 million on the non-same-store portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses increased from $87.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $98.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $10.4 million, or 11.8%.  This increase is primarily attributable to $8.2 million of increased expenses associated with newly acquired facilities as well as increased expenses on the same-store portfolio.  The increases in same-store expenses were associated with snow removal and utilities, due to a relatively colder winter in 2014 than in the prior year, as well as increases in real estate taxes.

General and administrative expenses decreased from $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $21.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 6.1%.  The decrease is primarily attributable to lower share based compensation expense and payroll expenses of $1.7 million.

Acquisition-related costs increased from $2.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $3.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Acquisition-related costs are non-recurring and fluctuate based on quarterly investment activity.  The increase was the result of the acquisition of 22 facilities in the 2014 period compared to only 14 facilities during the 2013 period.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense increased from $30.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $35.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $4.9 million, or 15.7%.  The increase is attributable to a higher amount of outstanding debt in the 2014 period.  To fund a portion of the Company’s growth, the average debt balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased approximately $142 million from the same period in 2013, from $1,038 million to $1,180 million.  In addition, the weighted average effective interest rate on our outstanding debt increased from 3.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to 4.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Equity in losses of real estate venture was $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 with no comparable amount during the 2013 period.  This expense is related to the Company’s share of the losses attributable to HHF, a partnership in which the Company acquired a 50% ownership interest during the fourth quarter of 2013.

Cash Flows

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the nine months ended September 30, 2013

A comparison of cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013		Change
Net cash flow provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	118,932	$	103,891	$	15,041
Investing activities	$	(218,973)	$	(130,273)	$	(88,700)
Financing activities	$	128,129	$	24,827	$	103,302

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $118.9 million and $103.9 million, respectively, reflecting an increase of $15.0 million.  Our principal source of cash flow is from the operation of our facilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our increased cash flow from operating activities was primarily attributable to our 2013 acquisitions and increased net operating income levels on the same-store portfolio in the 2014 period as compared to the 2013 period.

39

Cash flows used in investing activities increased from $130.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $219.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, reflecting an increase of $88.7 million.  The change was driven by more acquisition activity in 2014 as we acquired 14 facilities in the 2013 period for an aggregate purchase price of $133.1 million compared to 22 facilities in the 2014 period for an aggregate purchase price of $269.6 million, inclusive of $27.5 million of assumed debt.  This increase in cash flows used to acquire storage facilities was offset by $55.4 million in cash distributed from our unconsolidated joint venture, $50.6 million of which was the result of obtaining venture-level financing.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, cash flows provided by financing activities were $128.1 million and $24.8 million, respectively, reflecting an increase of $103.3 million.  This change was driven by net proceeds of $236.0 million received from the issuance of common shares under our “at-the-market” equity program during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to net proceeds of $52.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  This increase in cash flows provided by the “at-the-market” equity program was offset by a $81.9 million net decrease in revolving credit facility borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013 as proceeds from our “at-the-market” equity program and cash distributed from our unconsolidated joint venture were used to repay a portion of the revolving credit facility borrowings and to fund acquisitions.

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 the majority 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 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, capital expenditures and the development of new facilities.  These funding requirements will vary from year to year, in some cases significantly.  In the 2014 fiscal year, we expect remaining capital expenditures to be approximately $3.0 million to $7.0 million and remaining costs associated with the development of new facilities to be approximately $12.0 million to $16.0 million.  Our currently scheduled principal payments on debt, including debt maturities and borrowings outstanding on the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, are approximately $1.4 million for the remainder of 2014.

Our most restrictive debt covenants limit the amount of additional leverage we can add; however, we believe cash flow from operations, access to equity financing, including through our “at the market” equity program, and available borrowings under our Credit Facility provide adequate sources of liquidity to enable us to execute our current business plan and remain in compliance with our covenants.

Our liquidity needs beyond 2014 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 the portion of our needs not covered by cash flow from operations through additional borrowings, including borrowings under our Credit Facility, sales of common or preferred shares of the Parent Company and common or preferred units of the Operating Partnership and/or cash generated through facility dispositions and joint venture transactions.

40

We believe that, as a publicly traded REIT, we will have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our 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.  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, 2014, we had approximately $31.3 million in available cash and cash equivalents.  In addition, we had approximately $300.0 million of availability for borrowings under our Credit Facility.

Unsecured Senior Notes

On December 17, 2013, the Operating Partnership issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due December 15, 2023 (the “2023 Senior Notes”) which bear interest at a rate of 4.375%.  On June 26, 2012, the Operating Partnership issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due July 15, 2022 (the “2022 Senior Notes”) which bear interest at a rate of 4.80%.  The 2023 Senior Notes along with the 2022 Senior Notes are collectively referred to as the “Senior Notes.”  The indenture under which the 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. As of September 30, 2014, the Operating Partnership was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Senior Notes.

Bank Credit Facilities

On June 20, 2011, we 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”).  We 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, we 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”).  We 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, we 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.  On August 5, 2014, we further amended the Term Loan Facility (collectively with the amendment on June 18, 2013, the “Amendments”), to extend the maturity and decrease the pricing of Term Loan B.

Pricing on the Term Loan Facility depends on our unsecured debt credit ratings.  At our current Baa2/BBB level, amounts drawn under Term Loan A are priced at 1.30% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, while amounts drawn under Term Loan B are priced at 1.15% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor.

(1) On September 25, 2014, our unsecured debt credit rating was upgraded to Baa2 from Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service with a stable outlook.  As a result, the LIBOR spreads were reduced, effective October 1, 2014.

With respect to the Credit Facility, among other things, the Amendments 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 our unsecured debt credit ratings.  At our current Baa2/BBB level, amounts drawn under the Revolver are priced at 1.30% over LIBOR, inclusive of a facility fee of 0.20%, with no LIBOR floor, while amounts drawn under Term Loan C and Term Loan D are priced at 1.30% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor.

(1)	On December 17, 2013, we repaid the $100 million balance under Term Loan C that was scheduled to mature in December 2014.
(2)	On September 25, 2014, our unsecured debt credit rating was upgraded to Baa2 from Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service with a stable outlook. As a result, the LIBOR spreads were reduced, effective October 1, 2014.

We incurred costs of $2.1 million in 2013 and $0.2 million in 2014 in connection with the Amendments 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.  In connection with the repayment of Term Loan C, we recognized $0.4 million related to the write-off of unamortized loan procurement costs associated with the term loan.

As of September 30, 2014, $200 million of unsecured term loan borrowings were outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, $200 million of unsecured term loan borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facility and $300 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 $30 thousand.  In connection with a portion of the unsecured borrowings, we maintained interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2014 that fixed 30-day LIBOR (see note 10).  As of September 30, 2014, borrowings under the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, as amended and after giving effect to the interest rate swaps, had an effective weighted average interest rate of 3.21%.

The Term Loan Facility and the term loan under our Credit Facility were fully drawn at September 30, 2014 and no further borrowings may be made under the term loans.  Our ability to borrow under the revolving portion of the Credit 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

42

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

In addition, under the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, we are restricted from paying distributions on the Parent Company’s common shares in excess of 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.

As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants and we anticipate remaining in compliance with all of our financial covenants.

At The Market Equity 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”), we had a program to enable us to sell up to 20 million common shares in “at the market” offerings.  On May 7, 2013, we 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”) which enabled us to sell up to 12 million common shares in “at the market” offerings.  On May 5, 2014, the Company amended each of the Equity Distribution Agreements to increase the number of common shares the Company may sell through the Sales Agents to up to 20 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we sold a total of 13.2 million common shares under the Equity Distribution Agreements at an average sales price of $18.19 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $239.8 million under the program.  We incurred $3.8 million of offering costs in conjunction with the 2014 sales.  We used proceeds from the sales conducted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to fund acquisitions of storage facilities, repay outstanding debt and for general corporate purposes.  As of September 30, 2014, 1.2 million common shares remained available for issuance under the Equity Distribution Agreements.

Recent Developments

On August 25, 2014, the Operating Partnership entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale with certain limited liability companies controlled by HSRE REIT I and HSRE REIT II, each Maryland real estate investment trusts, to acquire (the “HSRE Acquisition”) 26 self-storage facilities for an aggregate purchase price of $223.0 million plus customary closing costs.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company had made a deposit of $5.0 million with respect to the HSRE Acquisition, which deposit is reflected in Other assets, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.  The HSRE Acquisition will close in two tranches.  The Company completed its due diligence on all of the facilities and closed on the first tranche of 22 facilities on November 3, 2014.  The Company expects to close on the remaining four facilities no later than March 31, 2015.

On October 2, 2014, we amended each of the Equity Distribution Agreements to increase the number of common shares the Company may sell through the Sales Agents to up to 30 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of the common shares pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreements for general business purposes, including, without limitation, facility acquisitions, developments, joint ventures, capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes.

On October 20, 2014, the Parent Company completed its public offering of 7,475,000 common shares at a public offering price of $19.33, which reflects the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase 975,000 shares to cover over-allotments.  We received approximately $143.0 million in net proceeds from the offering after deducting the underwriting discount and other estimated offering expenses. We expect to use the net proceeds from the offering for general business purposes, including, without limitation, facility acquisitions, developments, joint ventures, capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes.

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, loan procurement amortization expense — early repayment of debt, acquisition related costs, equity in losses of real estate ventures, amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, other expense, depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expense, and deducting from net income: income from discontinued operations, gains from disposition of discontinued operations, other income, gains from remeasurement of investments in real estate ventures 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, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets; and

·we believe it helps 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.

FFO

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 real estate and 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 our facilities. Given the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we consider FFO a key measure of our operating performance that is not specifically defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  We believe that FFO is useful to management and investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance because FFO excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance such as gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, gains from remeasurement of investments in real estate ventures, impairments of depreciable assets, and depreciation, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult.

44

Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies.

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 computed 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 non-recurring items, which we believe are not indicative of the Company’s operating results.  We present FFO, as adjusted because we believe it is a helpful measure in understanding our results of operations insofar as we believe that the items noted above that are included in FFO, but excluded from FFO, as adjusted are not indicative of our ongoing operating results.  We also believe that the analyst community considers our FFO, as adjusted (or similar measures using different terminology) when evaluating us.  Because other REITs or real estate companies may not compute FFO, as adjusted in the same manner as we do, and may use different terminology, our computation of FFO, as adjusted may not be comparable to FFO, as adjusted reported by other REITs or real estate companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to FFO and FFO, as adjusted, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with other unconsolidated entities (other than our co-investment partnerships) or other persons, also known as variable interest entities not previously discussed.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevailing interest rates.

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 lock 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, 2014, our consolidated debt consisted of $1.1 billion 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, 2014 there were no amounts of outstanding Credit Facility borrowings subject to floating rates. However, to the extent that we borrow on the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, we will then have debt subject to variable 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 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 $57.1 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 $62.1 million.

EX-10.1

Exhibit 10.1

AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE

This Agreement for Purchase & Sale (“Contract”) is entered into on August 25, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) by and between CubeSmart, L.P., or its assigns (“Purchaser”) and the titleholding entities scheduled on the signature pages hereto and identified as the “Group One Seller” (individually or collectively, as the text so requires, referred to herein as “Group One Seller”) and the titleholding entities scheduled on the signature pages hereto and identified as the “Group Two Seller” (individually or collectively referred to herein as “Group Two Seller” along with the Group One Seller, referred to herein as “Seller”).

1.Purchase and Sale.

a.Purchaser agrees to purchase and take title to each Facility and Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer and convey, at the price of Two Hundred Twenty Three Million Dollars ($223,000,000) (“Purchase Price”), all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the operating and real estate assets related to those certain twenty-six (26) self-service storage facilities, consisting of approximately 16,566 storage units and containing approximately 1,931,195 collective square feet of self-storage space and located at the addresses set forth on Exhibit L (each a “Facility” and collectively, the “Facilities”).   The real property is more particularly described on Exhibits A-1 to A-26 attached hereto. The real property, the Facilities and the personal property are collectively referred to as the “Property”.  Each Property is identified as either a “Group One Property” or “Group Two Property” and the related classification is listed opposite its name on Exhibit L.  The portion of the purchase price applicable to the Group One Properties is One Hundred Ninety Five Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($195,500,000) (“Group One Purchase Price”) and the portion of the purchase price applicable to the Group Two Properties is Twenty Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($27,500,000).

b.Included in the Purchase Price is the total compensation to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for any sign easements and leases (including without limitation for storage tenants, cell towers, billboards or any other use) and all of the personal property owned by Seller and used in connection with the operation of the Facilities as well as any accounts receivable not credited to Seller pursuant to Section 12 of this Contract and any general intangibles, telephone numbers, and, to the extent assignable, guarantees, warranties, permits, and licenses similarly owned or used by Seller, all as of the Closing Date (as defined herein).

2.Purchase Price and Escrow.

a.The parties shall each execute three (3) copies of this Contract and three (3) copies of the Escrow Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, and shall deliver them to Land Service USA, Inc Attention:  M Gordon Daniels, Principal, 1835 Market Street, Suite 420, Philadelphia, PA 19103 (the “Title Agency”).  Seller shall simultaneously send to Purchaser via facsimile or electronic mail a copy of the transmittal letter, delivering the executed agreements to the Title Agency.    Within five (5) days after the Title Agency has received the executed copies of this Contract and the Escrow Agreement from Seller, Purchaser shall deliver to the Title Agency a check or wire transfer of immediate federal funds in the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) as earnest money (together with any interest earned thereon “Group One Earnest Money”).  Upon receipt of the Group One Earnest Money, the Title Agency will deliver an executed Contract and Escrow Agreement to Seller and Purchaser via electronic mail.  The Group One Earnest Money shall be allocated to Group One Property.  The Title Agency shall deposit the Group One Earnest Money in an interest-bearing account until the Group One Closing (as hereinafter defined) or as otherwise provided in this Contract, all in accordance with the terms of this Contract and the Escrow Agreement.

b.Within two (2) business days after the Disapproval Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Title Agency either a letter of credit in the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or a check or wire transfer of immediate federal funds in the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) as an additional earnest money deposit (together with any interest earned thereon “Group Two Earnest Money”).  Upon receipt of the Group Two Earnest Money, the Title Agency will deliver notification of receipt of the Group Two Earnest Money to Seller and Purchaser via electronic mail.  The Group Two Earnest Money shall be allocated to Group Two Property.

The Title Agency shall deposit the Group Two Earnest Money in an interest-bearing account until the Group Two Closing (as hereinafter defined) or as otherwise provided in this Contract, all in accordance with the terms of this Contract and the Escrow Agreement. Earnest Money shall be defined as the sum of Group One Earnest Money and Group Two Earnest Money.

c.On the Group One Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall pay the Group One Purchase Price (inclusive of all Group One Earnest Money and interest accrued thereon), adjusted in accordance with the prorations as set forth in Section 12 below, by cashier’s check or wire transfer of available federal funds.

d.On the Group Two Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall pay the Group Two Purchase Price (inclusive of all Group Two Earnest Money and interest accrued thereon), adjusted in accordance with the prorations as set forth in Section 12 below, by cashier’s check or federally wired funds.

3.Items to be Furnished by Seller.

a.Within five (5) days following the Effective Date (the “Delivery Date”), except as it relates to Subparagraph (b) below and except to the extent heretofore provided to Purchaser, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (or make available to Purchaser through an electronic e-room) true and correct copies of the items listed on Exhibit C attached hereto.  Purchaser shall have the right to conduct such non-invasive inspections of the Property as Purchaser may deem necessary in its sole discretion, subject to the terms hereof and all at Purchaser’s expense.  Purchaser shall not be permitted to conduct any so-called Phase II Environmental Impact Study (a “Phase II”) or any other invasive or intrusive testing of the Property without first obtaining Seller’s written approval, which may be conditioned, withheld or delayed in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.  Purchaser agrees to keep the subject matter of any studies or reports in conducts in connection with Purchaser’s inspections confidential.

b.Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser’s affiliate has been the property manager (“Property Manager”) of those certain Facilities identified on Exhibit L (each a “Managed Property”), since April 2010.  All employees of a Managed Property are employees of Purchaser and not of the Seller.  The Property Manager is an affiliate of Purchaser and through its affiliate, Purchaser represents that it has had and will have reasonable access and opportunity to examine the Managed Property, the books, records, contracts and other documentation related to the Managed Property.  For each Managed Property, Seller will not be required to deliver to Purchaser items 1,2,3,4,9,11,12,14,15, and 17 set forth on Exhibit C.

c.Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that is thirty-five (35) days following the Effective Date (“Disapproval Date”) to either approve or disapprove the Property for any reason or no reason in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, by sending written notice by facsimile, electronic mail, or overnight courier to Seller and the Title Agency.  In the event no notice is sent approving of the purchase of the Property on or before to the Disapproval Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have disapproved the Property and terminated this Contract effective as of the Disapproval Date, and neither party shall have further obligations or liability to the other in accordance with this Contract and the Escrow Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.  For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser’s approval or disapproval of the Property shall apply collectively to all of the Facilities, and Purchaser shall not be permitted to approve less than all of the Facilities and disapprove the remaining Facility(ies).  If Purchaser disapproves the Property or is deemed to have disapproved the Property in accordance with this Section, then all Group One Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and Purchaser shall immediately return to Seller all documents and items received from or on behalf of Seller.  If Purchaser approves the Property, the Group One Earnest Money shall not be returned to Purchaser pursuant to this Section, but Purchaser shall deposit the  Group Two Earnest Money as provided above and all said Earnest Money shall become non-refundable to Purchaser for any reason other than a Seller default hereunder or a failure of a Purchaser Condition Precedent (as hereinafter defined) and otherwise Earnest Money shall be dealt with in accordance with the other provisions of this Contract.  Even after the approval of the Property, Seller shall promptly furnish Purchaser such information as Purchaser shall reasonably request from time to time up to the Closing Date.  If Seller does not deliver any of the items listed on Exhibit C to Purchaser by the Delivery Date, Seller shall make such late delivery immediately following discovery of the omission.

2

d.Purchaser’s right to enter onto the Property for purposes of investigating the condition of the Property (and not to act in its position as Property Manager) is subject to the following:  (i) such entry shall be at Purchaser’s sole risk, cost and expense and all inspections of whatever nature shall be performed only by qualified engineers and contractors and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations; (ii) Purchaser shall furnish Seller with proof satisfactory to Seller that, prior to performing or causing to perform any inspection of the Property, Purchaser or Purchaser’s representatives shall obtain liability insurance coverage pursuant to a liability insurance policy satisfactory to Seller, naming Seller as a certificate holder and as an additional insured thereunder and having a single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00); and (iii) Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its subsidiaries, affiliates, and their respective officers, principals, directors and employees, harmless of, and from any claim, proceeding, suit, damage, liability, loss, cost, charge or expense or any other liability of every nature, kind and description whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred or suffered by any of the foregoing entities or persons by reason of, or resulting from or arising out of, any activity, including, without limitation, tests, inspections, studies and/or investigations, performed or caused to be performed by Purchaser on the Property.  This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of this Contract and the Closing.  Any claim for damages resulting from Purchaser’s due diligence activities shall not be limited to the liquidated damages set forth in Section 15.

e.If Purchaser determines, in its reasonable discretion based on a recommendation in a Phase I Environmental Impact Study, that a Phase II is necessary to resolve certain environmental issues and Seller approves such Phase II as set forth above, Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to extend the Disapproval Date up to an additional fourteen (14) days solely for the purpose of investigating said environmental issues (the “Extension Right”) by providing notice to Seller via electronic mail or facsimile; provided, however, that any termination right exercised by Purchaser pursuant to the Extension Right shall be limited to a Material Adverse Condition (defined below) relating to an environmental matter or condition (or environmental matters or conditions) that is/are identified in the Phase II.  In furtherance of the foregoing, if Purchaser does not terminate this Contract pursuant to its rights under Section 3.c. above on or before the expiration of the original Disapproval Date (not taking into account any exercise of the Extension Rights set forth in this subparagraph e.), and Purchaser elects to extend the Disapproval Date pursuant to its rights under this subparagraph e. to perform a Phase II on certain Facilities (such Facilities being referred to herein as the “Phase II Facilities”), then Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the condition of all other Facilities (the “Non-Phase II Facilities”) and Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any rights to terminate this Contract pursuant to Sections 3, 5 and 6 hereof as it relates to the Non-Phase II Facilities regardless of whether or not Purchaser has delivered a notice of Purchaser’s approval pursuant to paragraph 3.c. above.  As it relates to any extension of the Disapproval Date for purposes of conducting a Phase II on the Phase II Facilities, Purchaser’s right to terminate this Contract under this subsection e. shall not be limited to the Phase II Facilities but if exercised as provided herein shall be a termination of the entire Contract.  If after conducting the Phase II assessment(s) as contemplated herein, Purchaser determines that a Material Adverse Condition exists, then Purchaser shall have the right to deliver to Seller on or before 5:00pm Chicago time on the last day of the extended Disapproval Date written notice (“Notice of MAC”) expressing Purchaser’s election to terminate this Contract based on a Material Adverse Condition.  If requested by Seller, Purchaser shall provide to Seller a true, correct and complete copy of any such applicable Phase II assessment  and other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller that a Material Adverse Condition exists.  In the absence of any such written Notice of MAC as and when described above Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the condition of all Facilities and waived its rights pursuant to Sections 3, 5 and 6 hereof as it relates to all Facilities.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Purchaser timely provides the written Notice of MAC as provided above, then Seller shall have the right in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion (to be exercised by Seller by written notice to Purchaser not later than five (5) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of the written Notice of MAC) to elect to convey to Purchaser the Facilities where a Material Adverse Condition does not exist (the “Non-MAC Facilities”), whereupon this Contract shall remain in full force and effect as it relates to the Non-MAC Facilities and Purchaser and Seller shall proceed to close all Non-MAC Facilities based on the Facility Factors contained in Exhibit M hereto as it relates to the calculation of the Purchase Price under this Contract, and those Facilities where an MAC does exist shall not be conveyed to Purchaser as part of the Closing hereunder.  If Seller does not timely provide such written notice as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, then this Contract shall automatically terminate at 5:00pm Chicago time on the fifth (5th) Business Day following Seller’s receipt of the Notice of MAC, and any portion of the Earnest Money theretofore deposited by Purchaser shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser.  For purposes of this Contract, a Material Adverse Condition shall mean one or more environmental conditions identified in the Phase II that require actual remediation or abatement and which Purchaser’s environmental consultant estimates in its good faith professional judgment that the cost to perform such actual remediation or abatement in compliance with applicable environmental requirements will exceed Two Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($275,000) in the aggregate.

f.Promptly after each entry onto the Property, Purchaser shall restore the Property to substantially the same condition as it was in prior to any such entry.

4.Operations Before Closing.  Prior to Closing (as hereinafter defined), Seller shall operate, maintain, manage and lease the Property in the same manner as existed prior to the execution of this Contract.

5.Title Insurance.  Promptly after receipt of a fully-executed copy of this Contract and the Escrow Agreement, Purchaser shall order from the Title Agency a title commitment for each of the Facilities (such title commitments being collectively referred to herein as the “Title Commitment”) for an owner’s extended coverage title insurance policy to be delivered to Purchaser and, on or before the date which is five (5) days prior to the Disapproval Date, Purchaser shall notify Seller of any defects in title shown on such Title Commitment to which Purchaser objects (each, a “Title Defect”).  Purchaser will pay, at Closing, the premium for the Owner’s Title Insurance Policy as defined in Exhibit E.  Seller shall notify Purchaser of any such defects that it does not intend to cure and shall use reasonable efforts to act promptly and diligently cure any such remaining defects at its sole cost and expense prior to Closing.  If such Title Defects consist of (1) mortgages, deeds of trust or tax liens, (2) other liens or charges in a fixed sum (or capable of computation as a fixed sum) caused by, through or under Seller (the “Seller Liquidated Liens”), or (3) any other monetary liens of record in an amount not to exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in the aggregate (the “Non-Seller Liquidated Liens”), then, Seller shall be obligated to pay and discharge each of them, and the Title Agency is accordingly authorized to pay and discharge such Title Defects at Closing.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Seller (X) is unable to or does not cure these defects by Closing, (Y) provides written notice to Purchaser at an earlier date that Seller is unable to or elects not to cure any such items, or (Z) is unwilling to remove, discharge, bond or release any Non-Seller Liquidated Liens in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, and as its sole remedy therefor, either to:  (i) terminate this Contract and receive a refund of its Earnest Money, in which event neither party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other in accordance with this Contract, except for such liability and obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Contract, or (ii) waive such defects and proceed to Closing subject to such Title Defects. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser’s election of clause (i) or clause (ii) above shall apply collectively to all of the Facilities, and Purchaser shall not be permitted to terminate the Contract with respect to less than all of the Facilities and waive Title Defects with respect to the remaining Facility(ies).  Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, in the event Purchaser elects to proceed under clause (ii) above, with the sole exception of Liquidated Liens, all matters of title listed on the Title Commitment which Seller has not agreed to cure or does not cure, shall be deemed to be permitted title exceptions which Seller shall be entitled to take exception from in the special warranty deed (“Deed”) given by Seller to Purchaser at Closing (“Permitted Exceptions”).  If Purchaser elects to terminate this Contract pursuant to clause (i) above, Purchaser’s written notice shall be delivered no later than the first to occur of (a) seven (7) days after Seller’s written notice that Seller is unable to or elects not to cure any such items, and (b) Closing.  If Purchaser fails to provide such timely written termination notice, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under clause (ii) above.

6.Survey.  Purchaser shall order, at its sole cost and expense, a current as-built survey for each of the Facilities of the Property depicting all easements, encroachments and other matters of record and certified to Purchaser, its general partner and the Title Agency (such surveys being collectively referred to herein as the “Survey”), and such Survey shall be in form sufficient to enable the Title Agency to delete the survey exception from the Owner’s Title Insurance Policy.  The Survey shall be certified and delivered to Purchaser, its general partner, and the Title Agency, and, on or before the Disapproval Date,  Purchaser shall notify Seller if such Survey reflects any matter adversely affecting the Property, as determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion (each a “Survey Defect”).  Any Survey Defect shall be treated in the same manner as Title Defects and Purchaser shall have the same remedies, pursuant to Section 5.

4.Land Use.  The current use and occupancy of the Property as a self-storage facility shall be permitted as a matter of right as a principal use under all laws applicable thereto without the necessity of any special use permit, special exception or other special permit, permission or consent; provided however, that if Purchaser does not terminate this Contract at the Disapproval Date, this condition shall be deemed waived unless, subsequent to the Disapproval Date, there has been a material adverse change with respect to the subject matter of this condition.

b.Seller’s obligations hereunder are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent and the compliance by Purchaser with the following covenants:

The provisions of this Section 12 relating to prorations shall survive the applicable Group One Closing Date or Group Two Closing Date.

d.Seller shall terminate all property management agreements for the Property as of the Group One Closing Date or Group Two Closing Date.

13.Closing Costs.  Seller shall pay all filing and recording fees relating to documents required to clear title to the Property that Seller is otherwise required to remove from title to the Property as provided in this Contract.  Any taxes (including, but not limited to, transfer fees, documentary and intangible taxes) relating to the transfer of title to the Property and sales tax and surtax to state or local entities with reference to the sale of the Property shall be allocated between Seller and Purchaser in accordance with local custom and practice (including, without limitation, dividing City of Chicago transfer taxes in the manner prescribed by local ordinance, which provides that Seller bears $1.50 per $500 in consideration and Purchaser bears $3.75 per $500 in consideration).  Purchaser and Seller shall each pay one-half of the fees of the Title Agency for the Escrow Agreement and for closing fees charged by the Title Agency.  Purchaser shall pay any intangible taxes, fees or other costs related to any financing which Purchaser obtains.  Purchaser shall pay for any endorsements to its Title Insurance Policy (and its lender’s title insurance policy).  Fees to record the Deed as well as for the cost of the Title Insurance Policy shall be allocated between Seller and Purchaser in accordance with local custom and practice.  Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Title Agency to engage a title insurance company (or title insurance agency) selected by Seller (and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) (“Seller’s Title Company”) to obtain co-insurance or re-insurance of the base title insurance premium in such amount of co-insurance or re-insurance that takes into account such factors as the percentage of overall title insurance premium being paid by Seller, the level of involvement of Seller’s Title Company in underwriting the title insurance policy and clearing title objections, and facilitating the Closing.  Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate to effectuate the preceding sentence in a manner that will not unreasonably delay Purchaser’s and the Title Agency’s obligations in Section 5 and 6 of this Contract.

14.Real Estate Commissions.  Purchaser warrants that it has not engaged the services of a real estate broker(s) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Contract and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller from all claims and costs due then or otherwise incurred by Seller as a result of any claim by or through Purchaser for all fees, commission or compensation on account of this Contract.  Seller warrants that it has not engaged the services of a real estate broker(s) other than Aaron Swerdlin at NGKF for whom Seller shall be solely responsible for payment of any fees, commissions or other compensation, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Contract. and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Purchaser from all claims and costs incurred by Purchaser as a result of any claim by or through Seller for any fee, commission or compensation owed on account of this Contract.

15.Remedies.  In the event of a material breach of this Contract by Seller, including, but not limited to an intentional breach of Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 16, and if as a result thereof a Closing hereunder shall not occur, then in such case Purchaser may either (a) terminate this Contract and receive a return of the Earnest Money plus an amount (the “Agreed Sum”) equal to the lesser or (i) Purchaser’s actual third party costs and expenses in connection with the Contract, and (ii) $500,000, or (b) seek specific performance.  The foregoing remedies shall be the only remedies of Purchaser in the event of Seller’s default under this Contract, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to and hereby waives all rights to seek, any other remedy that may be available to Purchaser at law, in equity or otherwise, including, but not limited to, damages other than the return of the Deposit and the Agreed Sum, the filing of any notice of lis pendens, attachment, lien or encumbrance, or the taking of any action (other than specific performance) which impairs or could impair the ability of Seller to sell, transfer and freely deal with the Property.  In the event of a material breach of this Contract by Purchaser, Seller’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Contract and retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages; provided however, that if a simultaneous Closing does not occur, then Seller may seek specific performance if Purchaser fails to complete the subsequent Closing for a reason other than a breach of this Contract by Seller or the failure of a condition set forth in Section 10(a).

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN, AND THAT SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES REPRESENT THE PARTIES’ BEST ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES.  SUCH RETENTION OF THE EARNEST MONEY BY SELLER IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 3275 OR SECTION 3369 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE OR ANY SIMILAR PROVISION.

If Seller cannot reaffirm to Purchaser the truth and correctness, as of the applicable Group One Closing Date or Group Two Closing Date, of each of said representations and warranties, and of any representations, warranties or Contracts set forth elsewhere in this Contract, as required pursuant to Section 10.a.2 above, Purchaser may, as its sole remedies, elect either to: (i) terminate this Contract and receive a refund of its Earnest Money, in which event neither party shall have any further liability to the other in accordance with this Contract, except for such liability and obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Contract; provided, however, in the event the changes in the representations and warranties are caused by Seller’s intentional acts or omissions in violation of the express terms of this Contract, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual third party costs incurred in connection with this Contract in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) actual, out of pocket costs, and (B) $500,000; or (ii) to close the transaction contemplated hereby and receive the instruments required herein from Seller irrespective of such failure.

b.Purchaser represents, warrants, and covenants to Seller that:

i.Purchaser is a limited partnership, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified to transact business in the states where the facilities are located and to enter into and perform its obligations hereunder and under any document or instrument required to be executed and delivered on behalf of Purchaser.

ii.The execution, delivery and performance of this Contract by Purchaser has been duly authorized by all necessary company or other action on the part of Purchaser, and the party executing this Contract on behalf of Purchaser is acting with full authority to bind the Purchaser.  This Contract constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Purchaser and is enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with the terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and creditor’s rights generally.  There is no other person or entity whose consent is required in connection with Purchaser’s performance of its obligations hereunder.

iii.The execution and delivery of, and the performance by Purchaser of its obligations under this Contract do not and will not contravene, or constitute a default under, Purchaser’s by-laws or other organizational document or any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon Purchaser, or result in the creation of any lien or other encumbrance on any asset of Purchaser or any provision of applicable law.  Except for this Contract, there are no outstanding agreements pursuant to which Purchaser has agreed to sell or has granted an option, right of first refusal or other right to purchase the Property.

iv.No Act of Bankruptcy has occurred with respect to Purchaser.  For purposes of this Contract, “Act of Bankruptcy” shall mean if a party hereto or any general partner or managing member thereof shall (a) apply for or consent to the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee or liquidator of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (b) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, (c) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (d) file a voluntary petition or commence a voluntary case or proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code (as now or hereafter in effect), (e) be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, (f) file a petition seeking to take advantage of any other law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding-up or composition or adjustment of debts, (g) fail to controvert in a timely and appropriate manner, or acquiesce in writing to, any petition filed against it in an involuntary case or proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code (as now or hereafter in effect), or (h) take any corporate or partnership action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or if a proceeding or case shall be commenced, without the application or consent of a party hereto or any member thereof, in any court of competent jurisdiction seeking (1) the liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or winding-up, or the composition or readjustment of debts, of such party or member, (2) the appointment of a receiver, custodian, trustee or liquidator or such party or member or all or any substantial part of its assets, or (3) other similar relief under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding-up or composition or adjustment of debts, and such proceeding or case shall continue undismissed; or an order (including an order for relief entered in an involuntary case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as now or hereafter in effect) judgment or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered and continue unstayed and in effect, for a period of 60 consecutive days.

10

v.Neither Purchaser, nor its affiliate CubeSmart Asset Management, LLC, which is the property manager of the Property has any knowledge (as used in this Contract, “Purchaser’s knowledge” or words of like import mean the actual present knowledge of Jonathan Perry and Guy Middlebrooks, representative(s) of Purchaser who have substantial knowledge about the Property, without further investigation or inquiry, without any individual liability on the part of such representative(s)) of matters, that, if disclosed to Seller, would cause Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in clauses iv, v and xi of Sections 16.a. above to be untrue.

If Purchaser cannot reaffirm to Seller the truth and correctness, as of the Group One Closing Date or the Group Two Closing Date, as applicable, of each of said representations and warranties, and of any representations, warranties or Contracts set forth elsewhere in this Contract, as required pursuant to Section 10.b.2 above, Seller may, as its sole remedies, elect either to: (i) terminate this Contract allow the return of the Earnest Money to Purchaser, in which event neither party shall have any further liability to the other in accordance with this Contract, except for such liability and obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Contract; provided, however, in the event the changes in the representations and warranties are caused by Purchaser’s intentional acts or omissions in violation of the express terms of this Contract, Seller shall retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages; or (ii) to close the transaction contemplated hereby and receive the instruments required herein from Purchaser irrespective of such failure.

All representations, warranties and covenants of Purchaser contained herein shall survive the Closing for the Survival Period and shall inure to the benefit of Seller and its legal representatives, heirs, successors or assigns.  Purchaser shall be liable to Seller under this Contract for Seller’s actual damages with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty by Purchaser under this Contract that is discovered by Seller following Closing and is made the subject of a written claim to Purchaser within the Survival Period, provided however, that: (i) Seller shall have no right to bring a claim unless the aggregate of all claim(s) shall exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), and (ii) in no event shall the liability of Purchaser with respect to any such claim(s) by Seller provided for in this Contract exceed in the aggregate Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00).  If, prior to the Closing, Seller obtains actual knowledge (from whatever source whatsoever, as a result of Seller’s due diligence, or the inclusion of any information in any written disclosure by Purchaser or Purchaser’s agents and employees) of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation contained in this Contract (a “Seller Waived Breach”) and nonetheless proceeds with and consummates the Closing, then Seller shall be deemed to have waived and forever renounced any right to assert a claim or cause of action for damages under this Contract, or any other claim or cause of action under this Contract, at law or in equity on account of any such Seller Waived Breach.

17.Indemnification.  Each Facility Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, related to or arising from any claim by any member of  such Facility Seller related to the transactions contemplated herein, including but not limited to any claim involving the authority of the managing member to bind the Facility Seller, breach of any fiduciary duty, or the terms and conditions of this Contract generally, including but not limited to the Purchase Price applicable to the Facility owned by such Facility Seller.

22.Disclosure.  The parties hereto agree that these negotiations, the terms and conditions hereof, the ultimate decision by Purchaser to purchase or not to purchase the Property and the terms and conditions thereof shall not be disclosed by either party, or any shareholder or member therein, or by Broker to anyone other than each party’s accountants, attorneys, advisors, shareholders or members, upon their agreement to be bound hereby.  Prior to making any press releases or other public communication regarding the Closing, each party shall obtain the written consent of the other as to the content of such release or communication, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Seller acknowledges that Purchaser is a publicly registered company and is required to make certain filings (each a “Filing”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the New York Stock Exchange, and other regulatory agencies (collectively, the “Regulatory Agencies”).  Purchaser shall be permitted without the prior consent or approval of the Sellers, to make such public filings, registrations and other information disclosures to the Regulatory Agencies that are required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Regulatory Agencies, provided that Purchaser, in consultation with its SEC legal counsel, agrees to incorporate the Sellers’ reasonable comments thereto.

23.Tax-Deferred Exchange.  Purchaser may consummate the purchase of the Property as part of a so-called like-kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provided that (a) all costs, fees and expenses attendant to the Exchange shall be sole responsibility of Purchaser; (b) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to Purchaser’s obligations and covenants under this Contract, (c) Seller shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property (other than the Property) for purposes of consummating any such exchange, and (d) in no event shall such exchange release Purchaser any party from its obligations under this Contract.  Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in effecting the Exchange.

24.Cooperation with S-X 3-14 Audit.  The Seller acknowledges that Purchaser is a publicly registered company (“Registered Company”).  The Seller acknowledges that Purchaser may be required to make certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Filings”) that relate to the most recent pre-acquisition fiscal year (the “Year”) and the current fiscal year through the date of acquisition (the “stub period”) for the Property. If requested in writing by Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s preparation of the SEC Filings, the Seller agrees to provide the Purchaser with the following: (i) access to bank statements for the Year and stub period; (ii) rent roll as of the end of the Year and stub period; (iii) operating statements for the Year and stub period; (iv) access to the general ledger for the Year and stub period; (v) cash receipts schedule for each month in the Year and stub period; (vi) access to invoice for expenses and capital improvements in the Year and stub period; (vii) accounts payable ledger and accrued expense reconciliations for the Year and stub period; (viii) check register for the 3-months following the Year and stub period; (ix) all leases and 5-year lease schedules; (x) copies of all insurance documentation for the Year and stub period; (xi) copies of accounts receivable aging as of the end of the Year and stub period; (xii) access to such other documents or agreements in the possession or control of Seller reasonably required to complete the required filings; and (xiii) signed representation letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “N”.  It is understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not be entitled to rely on the content or existence of such letter and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless of, from and against any and all losses, claims, expenses and the like incurred by Seller in connection with such letter, excluding any of the foregoing attributable to Seller’s actual fraud or intentional misrepresentation.  The foregoing inability of Purchaser to rely on the content or existence of such letter and the foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive Closing.  The provisions of this Section 24 shall survive until the earlier of (a) the date Purchaser next files its form 10-K with the SEC, or (b) March 31, 2015.

25.Assignment.  Purchaser, without Seller’s consent, may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any affiliate of Purchaser’s in which Purchaser maintains control and at least a fifty percent (50%) direct or indirect ownership interest.  This Contract shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

26.Timing.  If any date herein (except the Proration Date) shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday, Monday or national holiday (“Non-business Day”), the date shall automatically be advanced to the first Tuesday thereafter; but if that day is a Non-business Day, then the date shall be the next business day.

27.As-Is Purchase.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Contract, the Property is being sold in an “AS IS” condition and “WITH ALL FAULTS” as of the Effective Date and as of Closing.  Except as expressly set forth in this Contract or any other documents delivered at Closing, no representations or warranties have been made or are made and no responsibility has been or is assumed by Seller or any Seller affiliate or manager as to the condition or repair of the Property or the value, expense of operation, or income potential thereof or as to any other fact or condition which has or might affect the Property or the condition, repair, value, expense of operation or income potential of the Property or any portion thereof.  The parties agree that all understandings and agreements heretofore made between them or their respective agents or representatives are merged in this Contract and the Exhibits hereto annexed, which alone fully and completely express their agreement, and that this Contract has been entered into after full investigation, or with the parties satisfied with the opportunity afforded for investigation, neither party relying upon any statement or representation by the other unless such statement or representation is specifically embodied in this Contract or the Exhibits annexed hereto or any document or instrument executed or delivered at Closing. 

13

Except as may be expressly provided for herein, Seller makes no representations or warranties as to whether the Property contains asbestos or harmful or toxic substances or pertaining to the extent, location or nature of same.  Purchaser acknowledges that, notwithstanding Purchaser’s affiliate being the Property Manager, Seller has requested Purchaser to inspect fully the Property and investigate all matters relevant thereto and to rely solely upon the results of Purchaser’s own inspections or other information obtained or otherwise available to Purchaser, rather than any information that may have been provided by Seller to Purchaser.

37.Counterparts.  This Contract may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

38.Natural Hazard Disclosure.  Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that Seller may be required under California law to disclose if the Property lies within the following natural hazard areas or zones:  (a) a special flood hazard area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (California Civil Code Section 1102.17); (b) an area of potential flooding (California Government Code Section 8589.4); (c) a very high fire hazard severity zone (California Government Code Section 51183.5); (d) a wild land area that may contain substantial forest fire risks and hazards (Public Resources Code Section 4136); (e) an earthquake fault zone (Public Resources Code Section 2621.9); or (f) a seismic hazard zone (Public Resources Code Section 2694).  Purchaser shall cause the Title Company to be engaged (which, in such capacity, is referred to herein as the “Natural Hazard Expert”) to examine the maps and other information specifically made available to the public by government agencies for the purposes of enabling Seller to fulfill Seller’s disclosure obligations, if and to the extent such obligations exist, with respect to the natural hazards referred to in California Civil Code Section 1102.6c(a) and to report the result of the Natural Hazard Expert’s examination to Purchaser and Seller in writing.  Purchaser shall instruct the Title Company to deliver to Purchaser Natural Hazard Expert’s examination report prior to the Disapproval Date.  The written reports prepared by the Natural Hazard Expert regarding the results of the Natural Hazard Expert’s examination fully and completely discharges Seller from Seller’s disclosure obligations referred to herein, if and to the extent any such obligations exist, and, for the purpose of this Contract, the provisions of Civil Code Section 1102.4 regarding non-liability of Seller for errors or omissions not within Seller’s personal knowledge shall be deemed to apply and the Natural Hazard Expert shall be deemed to be an expert, dealing with matters within the scope of the Natural Hazard Expert’s expertise with respect to the examination and written report regarding the natural hazards referred to above.

40.Florida Radon Disclosure.  Florida law requires the following disclosure to be given to the purchaser of property in the State of Florida.  Seller has made no independent inspection of the Properties located in the State of Florida to determine the presence of conditions which may result in radon gas; however, Seller is not aware of any such condition.  Certain building methods and materials have been proven to reduce the possibility of radon gas entering the building:

15

“RADON GAS:  Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed over time.  Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida.  Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.”

DEPOSIT ESCROW AGREEMENT

DATE: __________________ FILE NO.: ___________________

WHEREAS, _______________________ (“Seller”, collectively and individually) by Agreement for Purchase & Sale (the “Agreement”) dated the _____ day of August, 2014, has agreed to sell to CubeSmart, L.P. or its designee (“Buyer” collectively and individually) those premises more particularly described in the Agreement for the consideration therein stated, a copy of which Agreement is made a part hereof.

AND WHEREAS Buyer and Seller have requested LAND SERVICES USA, INC. (“Company”) to receive a deposit of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and any additional and/or subsequent deposits pursuant to the Agreement to be held in escrow in an account held in a federally insured Pennsylvania or federal banking or savings institution (all such deposits being referred to collectively herein as the “Fund”). Company agrees to hold the Fund in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement, subject to the following:

IT IS UNDERSTOOD and agreed that Company is an escrow holder only, is merely responsible for the safekeeping of the Fund and shall not be required to determine questions of fact or law.

IT IS FURTHER UNDERSTOOD and agreed that Company is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Fund.  If there is any question or dispute as to whether Company is obligated to deliver the Fund, or any portion thereof, or as to whom the Fund is to be delivered, or in the event of unilateral termination of the Agreement by either Buyer or Seller, Company may refuse to make any delivery and may continue to hold the Fund until receipt by Company of written authorization, executed by both Seller and Buyer, directing the disposition of the Fund or, in absence of such joint written authorization, until final determination of the rights of the parties in a judicial proceeding.  Seller and Buyer agree that the duties of Company in its capacity as escrow agent under this agreement are ministerial in nature and that Company shall incur no liability under this agreement except for its willful misconduct or gross negligence. In the event of a dispute, Company is authorized to pay the Fund into court.

Company shall not be required to deposit the Fund in an interest-bearing account until receipt of a fully-executed and completed IRS Form W-9 signed by the party to whom the interest shall be paid and reflecting that party’s taxpayer identification number thereon. Seller and Buy agree that the Fund shall be invested in one or more separate FDIC insured interest-bearing accounts at Citizens Bank (“Bank”) located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania upon receipt of said IRS Form W-9.

In the event that the Fund has been invested in an interest-bearing account, Company will not be liable for any loss or impairment of the Fund if the loss or impairment results from the failure, insolvency or suspension of the depository institution. Company assumes no liability for interest on the Fund.

Company shall be indemnified fully by Buyer and Seller for all its expenses, costs and reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with any interpleader action that Company might file to resolve any dispute as to the Fund. If Company is made a party to any judicial, nonjudicial or administrative action, hearing or process based on the acts of Seller and Buyer and not on the willful misconduct and/or gross negligence of Company in performing its duties hereunder, then the losing party shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Company from the expenses, costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Company in responding to such actions, hearing or process.

PRORATION REVIEW, ARBITRATION AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES

Any controversy or claim between or among the parties hereto, whether arising out of this Contract or any instrument or agreement executed in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, shall be determined by binding arbitration in Chester County, PA in accordance with one of the following as selected by Purchaser:

a.the Rules of Practice and Procedure for the Arbitration of Commercial Disputes of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (J.A.M.S.) or

b.the Rules of  Practice and Procedure of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or

c.the Special Rules of an individual mutually agreed upon by the parties.  The Special Rules shall be those determined by an individual arbitrator agreed upon by the parties, and shall require that all arbitration hearings will be commenced within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration, and that the arbitrator shall only, upon a showing of cause, be permitted to extend the commencement of such hearing for an additional sixty (60) days.

Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  Any party hereto may bring an action, including a summary or expedited proceeding, to compel arbitration of any controversy or claim to which this provision applies in any court having jurisdiction over such action in Chester County, Pennsylvania and the parties agree that service of process through the office of the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and venue in Chester County, Pennsylvania are appropriate and approved by such parties.

In the event of a controversy or claim between the parties, either party may give written notice (“Arbitration Notice”) to the other requesting arbitration.  If Purchaser requests an individual arbitrator and the parties have not agreed upon an individual within ten (10) days after delivery of the Arbitration Notice, then AAA shall apply.

The prevailing party in such arbitration or in any proceeding to compel or enforce such arbitration shall be entitled to collect from the non-prevailing party reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

Within sixty (60) days after the Closing, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a review (the “Review”) of the prorations setting forth in reasonable detail any discrepancy which it has discovered in the prorations made at the Closing.  If Seller disagrees with such Review, it shall give written notice (the “Disagreement Notice”) to Purchaser within ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt of such Review.  Such Disagreement Notice shall detail Seller’s points of disagreement.  If Seller and Purchaser do not resolve such disagreement within ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Disagreement Notice, the parties shall proceed to arbitration.  If Seller agrees with such review (a failure of Seller to give Purchaser a Disagreement Notice within such 10-day period shall be deemed agreement), or if there is an arbitration award, then the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Proration Escrow (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) in accordance therewith.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are providing this letter in connection with your audits of the Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses (“Historical Summary”) of _______________ (the “Property”) for the purpose of expressing an opinion as to whether the Historical Summary presents fairly, in all material respects, the gross income and direct operating expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for the fiscal year ending.  The representations contained herein are made exclusively to you and not to the buyer or current owner of the Property or any other third party.

Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to matters that are material.  Items are considered material, regardless of size, if they involve an omission or misstatement of accounting information that, in the light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying on the information would be changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement.

We confirm, to the best of our knowledge and belief, the following representations made to you during your audit:

1.	We have provided you with (i) access to all information, of which we are aware, that is relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements such as records, documentation and other matters, (i) additional information that you have requested from us for the purpose of the audit, and (iii) unrestricted access to persons within the Company from whom you determined it necessary to obtain audit evidence.
2.	There are no:
	a.	Violations or possible violations of laws or regulations, whose effects should be considered for disclosure in the Historical Summary or as a basis for recording a loss contingency.
	b.	Unasserted claims or assessments that our lawyers have advised us are probable of assertion and must be disclosed in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 450, Contingencies.
	c.	Other liabilities or gain or loss contingencies that are required to be accrued or disclosed by FASB ASC 450, Contingencies.
	d.	Material transactions that have not been properly recorded in the accounting records underlying the Historical Summary.
	e.	Events that have occurred subsequent to the Historical Summary date and through the date of this letter that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the Historical Summary.
3.	We acknowledge our responsibility for the design and implementation of programs and controls that are suitable for our business needs and are intended to materially prevent, deter and detect fraud. We understand that the term “fraud” includes misstatements arising from fraudulent financial reporting and misstatements arising from misappropriation of assets.

N-1

4.	We have no knowledge of any fraud or suspected fraud affecting the entity involving:
	a.	Management
	b.	Employees who have significant roles in internal control over financial reporting, or
	c.	Others where the fraud could have a material effect on the Historical Summary.
5.	We have no knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the entity.
6.	We have no knowledge of any officer or director of the Property, or any other person acting under the direction thereof, having taken any action to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead you during your audit.
7.	The following have been properly recorded or disclosed in the Historical Summary:
	a.	Related party transactions including sales, purchases, loans, transfers, leasing arrangements, guarantees, ongoing contractual commitments and amounts receivable from or payable to related parties.
	b.	Significant common ownership or management control relationships requiring disclosure.
8.	The Property has complied with all aspects of contractual agreements that would have a material effect on the Historical Summary in the event of noncompliance.

(“Medina”) to vacate its occupancy of a portion of the Kedzie Property on or before the Group Two Closing (provided that Seller’s inability or failure to cause Medina to vacate the Kedzie Property shall not be deemed to be a Seller default under the Agreement or a failure of a condition under the Agreement, nor shall any such inability or failure constitute an excuse for Purchaser’s failure to perform under the Agreement (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s obligation to close the purchase and sale of the Properties under the Agreement)).  For purposes of this paragraph 3, “diligent and commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean, if Medina does not voluntarily surrender possession of the applicable portion of the Kedzie Property, commencing an eviction proceeding to cause Medina to vacate from the Kedzie Property and pursuing the same with commercially reasonable diligence until the Group Two Closing, including the delivery of such notices and filings as are required in connection therewith upon advice of counsel.

4.            Judgment Lien Against 80 East Horizon Ridge Parkway, Henderson, Nevada.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Title Agency to insure over the judgment lien recorded against the property located at 80 East Horizon Ridge Parkway, Henderson, Nevada by Rib Roof, Inc. on or before the Group One Closing.  In the event the Title Agency does not agree to insure over such judgment lien and such judgment lien is not otherwise removed of record on or prior to the Group One Closing Date, such lien shall be a Non-Seller Liquidated Lien.

5.            Telecom Leases at 1372 East 5th Street, Ontario, California and 3915 Green River Drive, Corona, California.  Seller shall deliver to the telecom lease tenants at the properties located at 1372 East 5th Street, Ontario, California and 3915 Green River Drive, Corona, California estoppel letters in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser (and Purchaser shall provide such form to Seller for Seller’s delivery to such tenants), and Seller shall use diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such executed estoppels on or before the Group One Closing (provided that Seller’s inability or failure to obtain either or both such estoppel certificates (or Seller’s inability or failure to obtain either or both such estoppel certificates in the form requested by Purchaser) shall not be deemed to be a Seller default under the Agreement or a failure of a condition under the Agreement, nor shall any such inability or failure constitute an excuse for Purchaser’s failure to perform under the Agreement (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s obligation to close the purchase and sale of the Properties under the Agreement)).  For purposes of this paragraph 5, “diligent and commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean delivering the forms of estoppel certificates provided by Purchaser to such tenants and following-up with such tenants regarding the execution and delivery of the estoppels, but shall not require Seller to pay any fee or otherwise take any extraordinary steps to obtain such estoppels.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller does not obtain such executed estoppels on or before the Group One Closing, the applicable Seller(s) shall deliver an estoppel in favor of Purchaser at the Group One Closing stating (i) the most recent date to which rent has been received by Seller under the applicable telecom lease and (ii) whether, to Seller’s knowledge (as such term is defined in the Agreement), a material default then exists under such telecom lease.   Any such estoppel delivered by Seller shall constitute a representation of Seller pursuant to the Agreement and shall be subject to all applicable provisions thereof, including, without limitation, Section 16(a).

6.            Residential Tenants at 1372 East 5th Street, Ontario, California.  Seller shall use diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to cause the residential tenants currently occupying a portion of the property located at 1372 East 5th Street, Ontario, California to vacate such property on or before the Group One Closing (provided that Seller’s inability or failure to cause such tenants to vacate possession on or before the Group One Closing shall not be deemed to be a Seller default under the Agreement or a failure of a condition under the Agreement, nor shall any such inability or failure constitute an excuse for Purchaser’s failure to perform under the Agreement (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s obligation to close the purchase and sale of the Properties under the Agreement)).  For purposes of this paragraph 6, “diligent and commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean providing whatever notices that are contemplated under such tenants’ occupancy agreements in an effort to cause such tenants to vacate such premises prior to the Group One Closing and to periodically follow-up with such tenants in an effort to cause such tenants to vacate such premises.  In the event such residential tenants have not vacated the property by the Group One Closing, Seller, at Seller’s expense, shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such tenants to vacate possession of the property after the Group One Closing.  Such obligation shall expressly survive the Group One Closing.

7.            Closing Credit for Matters Affecting 6201 Harlem Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, 9801 West 55th Street, Countryside, Illinois and 407 East 25th Street, Chicago, Illinois.  At the Group One Closing Seller shall provide a credit to Purchaser in the amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) (the “Illinois Credit”) in full and final satisfaction of any and all claims, objections or issues related to the following properties resulting from or arising out of Purchaser’s diligence inspections under Section 3(c) (including, without limitation, the physical condition of the following properties, any customer concessions and claims related to the following properties, any diminished value of the following properties resulting from zoning or other violations and any flooding or other physical or legal conditions or defects relating to the following properties ): (a) 6201 South Harlem Avenue, Chicago, Illinois; (b) 9801 West 55th Street, Countryside, Illinois; and (c) 407 East 25th Street, Chicago, Illinois; and in consideration thereof, Seller shall have no obligation to cure the same.  The Illinois Credit shall be allocated amongst the properties referenced in the immediately preceding sentence as follows:

(a)           6201 South Harlem Avenue, Chicago, Illinois: $83,019

(b)           9801 West 55th Street, Countryside, Illinois: $188,679

(c)           407 East 25th Street, Chicago, Illinois: $28,302

Seller acknowledges that such allocations shall be for the exclusive use of Seller and that Purchaser shall not be bound by such allocations for any internal purposes, including, without limitation, insurance, accounting or valuation purposes; provided, that Purchaser acknowledges that such allocations shall apply for purposes of calculating transfer taxes and other relevant closing considerations.

8.            BP Amoco Letter Agreement Regarding 407 East 25th Street, Chicago, Illinois.  With respect to the property located at 407 East 25th Street, Chicago, Illinois Seller shall use diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from BP Amoco on or before the Group One Closing an agreement with BP Amoco whereby BP Amoco agrees to perform certain work necessary to obtain closure of the UST release and related NFR status so that such property is protective of human health and environment per IEPA standards (the “Environmental Agreement”) (provided that Seller’s inability or failure to obtain the Environmental Agreement on or before the Group One Closing shall not be deemed to be a Seller default under the Agreement or a failure of a condition under the Agreement, nor shall any such inability or failure constitute an excuse for Purchaser’s failure to perform under the Agreement (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s obligation to close the purchase and sale of the Properties under the Agreement)).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller is unable to obtain the Environmental Agreement on or before the Group One Closing, Seller agrees to withhold from its closing proceeds in a strict joint order escrow account (in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller, Purchaser and Title Agent) with Title Agent at the Group One Closing the amount of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) (the “Environmental Holdback”).  If Seller is able to obtain the Environmental Agreement within six (6) months after the Group One Closing, upon Seller’s delivery to Purchaser of the Environmental Agreement executed by BP Amoco (and concurrent notice to Title Agent), then Title Agent shall automatically release the Environmental Holdback to Seller.  If Seller is not able to obtain the Environmental Agreement prior to the expiration of such six (6) month period, the full amount of the Environmental Holdback shall be automatically released to Purchaser in full satisfaction of any environmental or other obligations of Seller in connection with such matter.  If following the Group One Closing an environmental claim is made against Purchaser or the property referred to in this Paragraph 8 that would otherwise have been addressed by the Environmental Agreement, and Seller has theretofore been unable to obtain the Environmental Agreement, then Purchaser shall be permitted to draw down the Environmental Holdback for the purposes of defending such claim and to take actions necessary to protect human health at the property in accordance with applicable laws.  The foregoing obligations shall survive Closing.

9.            Closing Credit for Zoning, Permitting and Other Matters.  Seller shall provide a Closing credit to Purchaser in the amount of Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000) in full and final satisfaction of any and all objections, claims or issues related to the zoning, permitting, violation, code, parking, paving, unauthorized storage and other matters identified in Schedule A to Purchaser’s September 29, 2014 notice letter to Seller (as well as the issues related to the certificates of occupancy for buildings 1-7 related to the 1700 Diamond Hill Road, Woonsocket, Rhode Island property and such other zoning, permitting, violation, code, parking and paving issues as were identified in Purchaser’s September 17, September 24 and September 25 letters to Seller and not otherwise expressly addressed in this Amendment) and in consideration thereof, Seller shall have no obligation to cure the same.  Such Closing credit shall be allocated amongst the Properties in accordance with the Facility Factors scheduled on Exhibit M to the Agreement, and the portions of such credit allocable to each of the Group One Properties and the Group Two Properties in accordance with such Facility Factors allocation shall be paid at the Group One Closing and the Group Two Closing, respectively.  Seller acknowledges that the use of the Facility Factors as contemplated in this paragraph 9 shall be for the exclusive use of Seller and that Purchaser shall not be bound by such use for any internal purposes, including, without limitation, insurance, accounting or valuation purposes; provided, that Purchaser acknowledges that such allocations shall apply for purposes of calculating transfer taxes and other relevant closing considerations.

10.         Ratification.  Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Agreement shall remain unaffected, unchanged and unimpaired by reason of this Amendment.  The Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, is hereby ratified, confirmed and continued in full force and effect.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Amendment and the Agreement, the terms of this Amendment shall govern and control.

11.         Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, in which case all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument which is binding upon all parties hereto, notwithstanding that all of the parties are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart.  Facsimile and PDF/Adobe Acrobat signatures shall be treated as original signatures.

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 in the United States (“GAAP”).  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, 2013, 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, 2013.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future period or the full year.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to the accounting standard for the reporting of discontinued operations.  The update redefines discontinued operations, changing the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. This amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015; however, early adoption is permitted.  The Company elected to adopt this guidance in 2014 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.  The Company disposed of one asset during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, however the disposal did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations under the new guidance.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

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.   As of September 30, 2014, the Company owned self-storage facilities located in 21 states throughout the United States and the District of Columbia which are presented under one reportable segment: the Company owns, operates, develops, manages and acquires self-storage facilities.

As of September 30, 2014, the Parent Company owned approximately 98.5% 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 the Operating Partnership 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.”

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 in the United States (“GAAP”).  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, 2013, 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, 2013.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future period or the full year.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to the accounting standard for the reporting of discontinued operations.  The update redefines discontinued operations, changing the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. This amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015; however, early adoption is permitted.  The Company elected to adopt this guidance in 2014 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.  The Company disposed of one asset during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, however the disposal did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations under the new guidance.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

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 swap 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively (dollars in thousands):

							Fair Value

(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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 loss on interest rate swap reflects a reclassification of $4.8 million of unrealized losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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, 2014 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	$	-	$	8,219	$	-
Total liabilities at fair value	$	-	$	8,219	$	-

Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 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	$	-	$	10,763	$	-
Total liabilities at fair value	$	-	$	10,763	$	-

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 2014 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, 2014, 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.

The fair values of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their respective carrying values at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.   The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s debt was $1.1 billion at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, while the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $1.1 billion at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  These estimates were based on a discounted cash flow analysis assuming market interest rates for comparable obligations at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  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.

5.  INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE VENTURE

On December 10, 2013, the Company acquired a 50% ownership interest in 35 self-storage facilities located in Texas (34) and North Carolina (1) through a newly-formed joint venture (“HHF”).  HHF paid $315.7 million for these facilities.  The Company and the unaffiliated joint venture partner, collectively the “HHF Partners,” each contributed cash equal to 50% of the capital required to fund the acquisition.  HHF was not consolidated as the entity was not determined to be a VIE and the HHF Partners have equal ownership and voting rights in the entity.  The Company accounts for its unconsolidated interest in the real estate venture using the equity method.  The Company’s investment in HHF is included in Investment in real estate venture, at equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and losses attributed to HHF are presented in Equity in losses of real estate venture on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

On May 1, 2014, HHF obtained a $100 million loan secured by the 34 self-storage facilities located in Texas that are owned by the venture. There is no recourse to the Company, subject to customary exceptions to non-recourse provisions. The loan bears interest at 3.59% per annum and matures on April 30, 2021. This financing completed the planned capital structure of HHF and proceeds (net of closing costs) of $99.2 million were distributed proportionately to the partners.

The amounts reflected in the following table are based on the historical financial information of the real estate venture.

The following is a summary of the financial position of the HHF venture as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively (in thousands):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company acquired 22 self-storage facilities located throughout the United States for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $269.6 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 $18.8 million at the time of such acquisitions and prior to any amortization of such amounts.  The estimated life of these in-place leases was 12 months and the amortization expense that was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $8.0 million.  In connection with four of the acquired facilities, the Company assumed mortgage debt, and recorded the debt at a fair value of $27.5 million, which included an outstanding principal balance totaling $26.0 million and a net premium of $1.5 million to reflect the estimated fair value of the debt at the time of assumption.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company was under contract and had made deposits of $9.0 million associated with five facilities under construction for a total purchase price of $123.2 million.  These deposits are reflected in Other assets, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.  The purchase of these five properties is expected to occur by the fourth quarter of 2015 after the completion of construction and the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.  These acquisitions are subject to due diligence and other customary closing conditions and no assurance can be provided that these acquisitions will be completed on the terms described, or at all.

On August 25, 2014, the Operating Partnership entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale with certain limited liability companies controlled by HSRE REIT I and HSRE REIT II, each Maryland real estate investment trusts, to acquire (the “HSRE Acquisition”) 26 self-storage facilities for an aggregate purchase price of $223.0 million plus customary closing costs.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company had made a deposit of $5.0 million with respect to the HSRE Acquisition, which deposit is reflected in Other assets, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.  The HSRE Acquisition will close in two tranches.  The Company completed its due diligence on all of the facilities and closed on the first tranche of 22 facilities for an aggregate purchase price of $195.5 million on November 3, 2014.  The Company expects to close on the remaining four facilities no later than March 31, 2015.

Development

During 2012, the Company commenced construction of 5 Old Lancaster Road located in Malvern, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia.  The mixed-use facility is comprised of rentable storage space and office space for the Company’s corporate headquarters.  During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company relocated its corporate headquarters to 5 Old Lancaster Road.  Construction was completed on the portion of the building comprised of rentable storage space and the facility opened for operation during the first quarter of 2014.  Total costs for this mixed-use project were $25.1 million at September 30, 2014.

During 2013, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of a self-storage facility located in Bronx, NY.  Construction of the facility was substantially completed and the facility opened for operation during the first quarter of 2014. Total costs for this project were $17.2 million at September 30, 2014.  These costs are capitalized to building and improvements as well as equipment and are reflected in Storage facilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

During 2013, the Company entered into contracts under newly-formed joint ventures for the construction of three self-storage facilities located in New York and one self-storage facility located in Virginia (see note 12).  Construction for all projects is expected to be completed during 2015.  At September 30, 2014, development costs for these projects totaled $30.3 million.  These costs are capitalized to construction in progress while the projects are under development and are reflected in Storage facilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

2014 Disposition

On June 30, 2014, the Company sold one asset in London, England owned by USIFB, LLP, a consolidated real estate joint venture in which the Company owns a 97% interest, for an aggregate sales price of £4.1 million (approximately $7.0 million).  The Company received net proceeds of $7.0 million, a portion of which were used to repay the loan the Company made to the venture, and recorded a gain of $0.5 million as a result of the transaction.

2013 Acquisitions

During 2013, the Company acquired 20 self-storage facilities located throughout the United States for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $189.8 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 $13.5 million at the time of such acquisitions and prior to any amortization of such amounts.   The estimated life of these in-place leases was 12 months and the amortization expense that was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $7.4 million.  In connection with one of the acquired facilities, the Company assumed mortgage debt, and recorded the debt at a fair value of $8.9 million, which included an outstanding principal balance totaling $8.5 million and a net premium of $0.4 million in addition to the face value of the assumed debt to reflect the fair value of the debt at the time of assumption.

Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

251 Jamaica Ave, LLC (“Jamaica Ave”) was formed to own, operate, and develop a self-storage facility in New York, NY.  The Company owns a 51% interest in Jamaica Ave and 49% is owned by another member (“Jamaica Ave Member”).  The facility is expected to commence operations during 2015.  The Jamaica Ave Member has an option to put its ownership interest in the venture to the Company for $12.5 million within the one-year period after construction of the facility is substantially complete.  Additionally, the Company has a one-year option to call the ownership interest of the Jamaica Ave Member for $12.5 million beginning on the second anniversary of the facility’s construction being substantially complete.  The Company determined that Jamaica Ave 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 Jamaica Ave.  At September 30, 2014, Jamaica Ave had total assets of $12.9 million and total liabilities of $6.0 million.

CS SNL New York Ave, LLC and 186 Jamaica Avenue, LLC, collectively known as “SNL”, were formed with a partner to own, operate and develop two self-storage facilities in the boroughs of New York, NY.  The Company owns 90% of SNL and the facilities are expected to commence operations during 2015.  The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of SNL.  At September 30, 2014, SNL had total assets of $10.7 million and total liabilities of $1.1 million.  The Company has provided $0.6 million of a total $20.1 million loan commitment to SNL which is secured by a mortgage on the real estate assets of SNL.  The loan and related interest was eliminated during consolidation.

Shirlington Rd, LLC (“SRLLC”) was formed to own, operate, and develop a self-storage facility in Northern Virginia.  The Company owns a 90% interest in SRLLC and the facility is expected to commence operations during 2015.  The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of SRLLC.  During 2013, SRLLC acquired land for development for $13.1 million. In 2014, SRLLC completed the planned subdivision of the land into two parcels and sold one parcel for $6.5 million.  No gain or loss was recorded as a result of this transaction.  SRLLC retained the second parcel of land for the development of the storage facility.  At September 30, 2014, SRLLC had total assets of $11.7 million and total liabilities of $7.6 million.  The Company has provided $6.4 million of a total $14.6 million loan commitment to SRLLC, which loan is secured by a mortgage on the real estate assets of SRLLC.  The loan and related interest was eliminated during consolidation.

USIFB, LLP (“USIFB”) was formed to own, operate, acquire and develop self-storage facilities in England.  The Company owns a 97% interest in the USIFB through a wholly-owned subsidiary and USIFB commenced operations at two facilities in London, England during 2008.  The Company determined that USIFB 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 USIFB.  On December 31, 2013 the Company provided a $6.8 million (£4.1 million) loan secured by a mortgage on real estate assets of USIFB.  On June 30, 2014, one of the assets was sold and the loan was repaid with proceeds from the sale.  The loan and any related interest was eliminated during consolidation.  At September 30, 2014, USIFB had total assets of $5.9 million and total liabilities of $0.3 million.

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 1.5% and 1.6% of the outstanding OP Units as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 2,257,486 and 2,275,730 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 final 10 trading days of the quarter. 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 $5.2 million and $3.3 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

On December 17, 2013, the Operating Partnership issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.375% unsecured senior notes due December 15, 2023 (the “2023 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 “2022 Senior Notes”) which bear interest at a rate of 4.80%.  The 2023 Senior Notes along with the 2022 Senior Notes are collectively referred to as the “Senior Notes.”  The indenture under which the 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.

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.  On August 5, 2014, the Company further amended the Term Loan Facility (collectively with the amendment on June 18, 2013, the “Amendments”) to extend the maturity and decrease the pricing of Term Loan B.

Pricing on the Term Loan Facility depends on the Company’s unsecured debt credit ratings.  At the Company’s current Baa2/BBB level, amounts drawn under Term Loan A are priced at 1.30% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, while amounts drawn under Term Loan B are priced at 1.15% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor.

		Term Loan Facility Prior to Amendments			Term Loan Facility As Amended
			LIBOR Spread			LIBOR Spread (1)
	Amount	Maturity Date	Baa3/BBB-	Baa2/BBB	Maturity Date	Baa3/BBB-	Baa2/BBB
Term Loan A	$100 million	June 2016	1.85%	1.65%	June 2018	1.50%	1.30%
Term Loan B	$100 million	June 2018	2.00%	1.80%	January 2020	1.40%	1.15%

(1) On September 25, 2014, the Company’s unsecured debt credit rating was upgraded to Baa2 from Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service with a stable outlook.  As a result, the LIBOR spreads were reduced, effective October 1, 2014.

With respect to the Credit Facility, among other things, the Amendments 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 Baa2/BBB level, amounts drawn under the Revolver are priced at 1.30% over LIBOR, inclusive of a facility fee of 0.20%, with no LIBOR floor, while amounts drawn under Term Loan C and Term Loan D are priced at 1.30% over LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor.

		Credit Facility Prior to Amendments			Credit Facility As Amended

Revolver	$300 million	December 2015	1.80%	1.50%	June 2017	1.60%	1.30%
Term Loan C (1)	$100 million	December 2014	1.75%	1.45%	December 2014	1.50%	1.30%
Term Loan D	$200 million	March 2017	1.75%	1.45%	January 2019	1.50%	1.30%

(1) On December 17, 2013, the Company repaid the $100 million balance under Term Loan C that was scheduled to mature in December 2014.

(2) On September 25, 2014, the Company’s unsecured debt credit rating was upgraded to Baa2 from Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service with a stable outlook.  As a result, the LIBOR spreads were reduced, effective October 1, 2014.

The Company incurred costs of $2.1 million in 2013 and $0.2 million in 2014 in connection with the Amendments 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. In connection with the repayment of Term Loan C, the Company recognized $0.4 million related to the write-off of unamortized loan procurement costs associated with the term loan.

As of September 30, 2014, $200 million of unsecured term loan borrowings were outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, $200 million of unsecured term loan borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facility, and $300 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 $30 thousand.  In connection with a portion of the unsecured borrowings, the Company had interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2014 that fix 30-day LIBOR (see note 10).  As of September 30, 2014, borrowings under the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, as amended and after giving effect to the interest rate swaps, had an effective weighted average interest rate of 3.21%.

The Term Loan Facility and the term loan under the Credit Facility were fully drawn at September 30, 2014 and no further borrowings may be made under the term loans.  The Company’s ability to borrow under the revolving portion of the Credit 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 the Parent Company’s common shares in excess of 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.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company was 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.
