STRATEGIC REALTY TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2013
(Unaudited)
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
 
Strategic Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on September 18, 2008 as a Maryland corporation. Effective August 22, 2013, the Company changed its name from TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc. to Strategic Realty Trust, Inc. The Company believes it qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and has elected REIT status beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2009, the year in which the Company began material operations. The Company was initially capitalized by the sale of shares of common stock to Thompson National Properties, LLC (“TNP LLC”) on October 16, 2008.
 
On November 4, 2008, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to offer a maximum of 100,000,000 in shares of its common stock to the public in its primary offering at $10.00 per share and 10,526,316 shares of its common stock to the Company’s stockholders at $9.50 per share pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) (collectively, the “Offering”). On August 7, 2009, the SEC declared the registration statement effective and the Company commenced the Offering. On February 7, 2013, the Company terminated the Offering and ceased offering shares of common stock in the primary offering and under the DRIP. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had accepted subscriptions for, and issued, 10,893,227 shares of common stock in the Offering (net of share redemptions), including 365,242 shares of common stock pursuant to the DRIP, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $107,609,000. As of the termination of the Offering on February 7, 2013, the Company had accepted subscriptions for, and issued, 10,969,714 shares of common stock (net of share redemptions), including 391,182 shares of common stock pursuant to the DRIP, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $108,357,000.
 
On June 15, 2012, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to register up to $900,000,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock in a follow-on public offering. The Company subsequently determined not to proceed with the follow-on public offering and on March 1, 2013, the Company requested that the SEC withdraw the registration statement for the follow-on public offering, effective immediately. As a result of the termination of the Offering and the withdrawal of the registration statement for the Company’s follow-on public offering, offering proceeds are not currently available to fund the Company’s cash needs, and will not be available until the Company is able to successfully engage in an offering of its securities. The Company currently does not expect to commence a follow-on offering.
 
On August 7, 2013, the Company allowed its existing advisory agreement (the “Prior Advisory Agreement”) with the Company’s prior advisor, TNP Strategic Retail Advisor, LLC (the “Prior Advisor”), to expire without renewal. On August 10, 2013, the Company entered into a new advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with SRT Advisor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Advisor”). Advisor manages the Company’s business as the Company’s external advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement.  Advisor is an affiliate of Glenborough, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Glenborough”), a privately held full-service real estate investment and management company focused on the acquisition, management and leasing of high quality commercial properties. Glenborough and its predecessor entities have over three decades of experience in the commercial real estate industry.
 
In December 2012, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Glenborough to assist the Company with the process of transitioning to a new external advisor as well as to provide other services (the “Consulting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, the Company paid Glenborough a monthly consulting fee and reimbursed Glenborough for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. From December 2012 through April 2013, the Company agreed to pay Glenborough a monthly consulting fee of $75,000 pursuant to the Consulting Agreement. Effective May 1, 2013, the Company and Glenborough amended the Consulting Agreement to expand the services provided to the Company by Glenborough to include accounting services and increase the monthly consulting fee payable to Glenborough to $90,000. On August 10, 2013, in connection with the execution of the Advisory Agreement, the Company terminated the Consulting Agreement. In connection with the execution of the Advisory Agreement, in August 2013, Glenborough rebated $150,000 of consulting fees to the Company.
 
Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through Strategic Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (formerly TNP Strategic Retail Trust Operating Partnership, L.P.), a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”). The initial limited partners of the OP were Prior Advisor and TNP Strategic Retail OP Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company affiliated with Prior Advisor (“TNP Holdings”). Prior Advisor invested $1,000 in the OP in exchange for common units of the OP (“Common Units”) and TNP Holdings invested $1,000 in the OP in exchange for a separate class of limited partnership units (the “Special Units”). As the Company accepted subscriptions for shares of its common stock, it transferred substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering to the OP as a capital contribution. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the Company owned 96.2% of the limited partnership interest in the OP. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Prior Advisor owned 0.01% of the limited partnership interest in the OP. TNP Holdings owned 100% of the outstanding Special Units as of December 31, 2012. Following the expiration of the Prior Advisory Agreement, the Special Units owned by TNP Holdings were redeemed for cause, as defined in the Prior Advisor Agreement. In connection with the execution of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor or its affiliate was to contribute $1,000 to the OP in exchange for a separate class of Special Units. This transaction has been delayed by mutual agreement of the parties and continues to be contemplated.

On May 26, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Pinehurst Square East (“Pinehurst”), a retail property located in Bismarck, North Dakota, the OP issued 287,472 Common Units to certain of the sellers of Pinehurst who elected to receive Common Units for an aggregate value of $2,587,000, or $9.00 per Common Unit. On March 12, 2012, in connection with the acquisition of the Shops at Turkey Creek (“Turkey Creek”), a retail property located in Knoxville, Tennessee, the OP issued 144,324 Common Units to certain of the sellers of Turkey Creek who elected to receive Common Units for an aggregate value of $1,371,000, or $9.50 per Common Unit.
 
The Company’s principal demand for funds has been for the acquisition of real estate assets, the payment of operating expenses and interest on outstanding indebtedness and the payment of distributions to stockholders. Substantially all of the proceeds of the completed Offering have been used to fund investments in real properties and other real estate-related assets, for payment of operating expenses, for payment of various fees and expenses such as acquisition fees and management fees and for payment of distributions to stockholders. As discussed below, the Company’s available capital resources, cash and cash equivalents on hand and sources of liquidity are currently limited. The Company expects its future cash needs will be funded using cash from operations, future asset sales, debt financing and the proceeds to the Company from any sale of equity that it conducts in the future. The Company expects that its investment activities will be significantly reduced for the foreseeable future until it is able to identify other significant sources of financing. The Company also has suspended its share redemption program and dividend distributions until the refinancing of the Company’s credit agreement with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) following the expiration of the Company’s forbearance agreement with KeyBank (see Note 6. NOTES PAYABLE). For so long as the Company remains in default under the terms of the KeyBank financing, the Company’s credit facility with KeyBank prohibits the payment of distributions to investors in the Company.
 
On August 2, 2012, the Company, the OP and Prior Advisor entered into an amendment to the Company’s Advisory Agreement, effective as of August 7, 2012, which, among other things, required the Prior Advisor to cause the Company to maintain at all times a cash reserve of at least $4,000,000 and provided that Prior Advisor may deploy any cash proceeds in excess of the cash reserve for the Company’s business pursuant to the terms of the Prior Advisory Agreement. As a result of the significant cash required to complete the Company’s acquisition of the Lahaina Gateway property on November 9, 2012, and the additional cash required by the mortgage lender for the Lahaina Gateway property acquisition for reserves and mandatory principal payments, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents had fallen to approximately $492,000 at June 30, 2013, significantly below the $4,000,000 cash reserve required under the Prior Advisory Agreement. The current Advisory Agreement does not contain a similar restriction. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents will remain significantly limited until the Company finds other sources of cash, such as from borrowings, sales of equity capital or sales of assets. Although no assurances may be given, the Company believes that its current cash from operations will be sufficient to support the Company’s ongoing operations, including its debt service payments, other than the required payment on the Company’s credit agreement with KeyBank following the expiration of the Company’s forbearance agreement with KeyBank (see discussion below).
 
On April 1, 2013, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with respect to the Company’s credit agreement with KeyBank, and on July 31, 2013 the Company entered into an amendment to the forbearance agreement which extended the term of the forbearance period (see additional discussion in Note 6. NOTES PAYABLE).  On or before the expiration of the forbearance period, the Company currently intends to refinance a portion of the credit agreement with KeyBank or another lender, and pay down a portion of the balance of the credit agreement with proceeds from the disposition of certain properties securing the credit agreement.
 
The Company has invested in a portfolio of income-producing retail properties throughout the United States, with a focus on grocery anchored multi-tenant retail centers in the Western United States, including neighborhood, community and lifestyle shopping centers, multi-tenant shopping centers and free standing single-tenant retail properties. As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s portfolio was comprised of 19 properties with approximately 1,900,000 rentable square feet of retail space located in 13 states. As of September 30, 2013, the rentable space at the Company’s retail properties was 87% leased.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
 
 
7

 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the OP, and their direct and indirect owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included.
 
The Company evaluates the need to consolidate joint ventures and variable interest entities based on standards set forth in ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). In determining whether the Company has a controlling interest in a joint venture or a variable interest entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. As of September 30, 2013, the Company did not have any joint ventures or variable interests in any variable interest entities.
 
Non-Controlling Interests
 
The Company’s non-controlling interests are comprised primarily of the Common Units in the OP and membership interest in SRT Secured Holdings, LLC (“Secured Holdings”), formerly known as TNP SRT Secured Holdings, LLC, the Company’s subsidiary. The Company accounts for non-controlling interests in accordance with ASC 810. In accordance with ASC 810, the Company reports non-controlling interests in subsidiaries within equity in the condensed consolidated financial statements, but separate from the parent’s stockholders’ equity. Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests is presented as a reduction from net income (loss) in calculating net income (loss) available to common stockholders on the statement of operations. Acquisitions or dispositions of non-controlling interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, ASC 810 requires that a parent company recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated upon a change in control. In accordance with FASB ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, non-controlling interests that are determined to be redeemable are carried at their fair value or redemption value as of the balance sheet date and reported as liabilities or temporary equity depending on their terms. The Company periodically evaluates individual non-controlling interests for the ability to continue to recognize the non-controlling interest as permanent equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any non-controlling interest that fails to qualify as permanent equity will be reclassified as liabilities or temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (1) the carrying amount, or (2) its redemption value as of the end of the period in which the determination is made, and the resulting adjustment is recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. All non-controlling interests at September 30, 2013 qualified as permanent equity.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the Company’s disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in the Company’s financial statements, and actual results could differ from the estimates or assumptions used by management. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of the Company’s results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. The Company considers significant estimates to include the carrying amounts and recoverability of investments in real estate, impairments, real estate acquisition purchase price allocations, allowance for doubtful accounts, estimated useful lives to determine depreciation and amortization and fair value determinations, among others.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents represents current bank accounts and other bank deposits free of encumbrances and having maturity dates of three months or less from the respective dates of deposit. The Company limits cash investments to financial institutions with high credit standing; therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash.
 
Restricted Cash
 
Restricted cash includes escrow accounts for real property taxes, insurance, capital expenditures and tenant improvements, debt service and leasing costs held by lenders.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenues include minimum rents, expense recoveries and percentage rental payments. Minimum rents are recognized on an accrual basis over the terms of the related leases on a straight-line basis when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased property. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
 
 
8

 
      whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
 
      whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;
 
      whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
 
      whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general-purpose in nature; and
 
      whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.
 
For leases with minimum scheduled rent increases, the Company recognizes income on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis for leases results in recognized revenue amounts which differ from those that are contractually due from tenants on a cash basis. If the Company determines the collectability of straight-line rents is not reasonably assured, the Company limits future recognition to amounts contractually owed and paid, and, when appropriate, establishes an allowance for estimated losses.
 
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, including an allowance for straight-line rent receivables, for estimated losses resulting from tenant defaults or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments. The Company monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants on an ongoing basis. For straight-line rent amounts, the Company’s assessment is based on amounts estimated to be recoverable over the term of the lease. The Company’s straight-line rent receivable, which is included in tenant receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, was $1,498,000 and $1,380,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
 
Certain leases contain provisions that require the payment of additional rents based on the respective tenants’ sales volume (contingent or percentage rent) and substantially all contain provisions that require reimbursement of the tenants’ allocable real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance costs (“CAM”). Revenue based on percentage of tenants’ sales is recognized only after the tenant exceeds its sales breakpoint. Revenue from tenant reimbursements of taxes, CAM and insurance is recognized in the period that the applicable costs are incurred in accordance with the lease agreement.
 
The Company recognizes gains or losses on sales of real estate in accordance with ASC 360. Profits are not recognized until (a) a sale has been consummated; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing investments are adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; (c) the Company’s receivable, if any, is not subject to future subordination; and (d) the Company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks and reward of ownership, and the Company does not have a substantial continuing involvement with the property. The results of operations of income producing properties where the Company does not have a continuing involvement are presented in the discontinued operations section of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations when the property has been classified as held-for-sale or sold.
 
Valuation of Accounts Receivable
 
The Company makes estimates of the collectability of its tenant receivables related to base rents, including deferred rents receivable, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income.
 
The Company analyzes tenant receivables, deferred rent receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, the Company will make estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectability of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. When a tenant is in bankruptcy, the Company will record a bad debt reserve for the tenant’s receivable balance and generally will not recognize subsequent rental revenue until cash is received or until the tenant is no longer in bankruptcy and has the ability to make rental payments.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
A concentration of credit risk arises in the Company’s business when a national or regionally based tenant occupies a substantial amount of space in multiple properties owned by the Company. In that event, if the tenant suffers a significant downturn in its business, it may become unable to make its contractual rent payments to the Company, exposing the Company to potential losses in rental revenue, expense recoveries, and percentage rent. Further, the impact may be magnified if the tenant is renting space in multiple locations. Generally, the Company does not obtain security from the nationally-based or regionally-based tenants in support of their lease obligations to the Company. The Company regularly monitors its tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. As of September 30, 2013, Schnuck Markets, Inc. is the Company’s largest tenant (by square feet) and accounted for approximately 127,835 square feet, or approximately 7% of the Company’s gross leasable area, and approximately $832,000, or 4% of the Company’s annual minimum rent. Publix, another large tenant, accounted for approximately 5% of the Company’s annual minimum rent.  No other tenant accounted for over 5% of the Company’s annual minimum rent. There was $107,000 in outstanding receivables from Schnuck Markets, Inc. at September 30, 2013.
 
 
9

 
The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of September 30, 2013, the leases at the Company’s properties have remaining terms (excluding options to extend) of up to 21 years with a weighted-average remaining term (excluding options to extend) of eight years. The leases may have provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires security deposits from tenants in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. Amounts required as security deposits vary depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally are not significant amounts. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $379,000 and $651,000 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  
 
Business Combinations
 
The Company records the acquisition of income-producing real estate or real estate that will be used for the production of income as a business combination. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their acquisition-date fair values, including tenant improvements and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities. Tenant improvements represent the tangible assets associated with the existing leases valued on a fair value basis at the acquisition date. Tenant improvements are classified as assets under investments in real estate and are depreciated over the remaining lease terms. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities relate to the value of in-place operating leases which come in three forms: (1) leasing commissions and legal costs, which represent the value associated with “cost avoidance” of acquiring in-place leases, such as lease commissions paid under terms generally experienced in markets in which the Company operates; (2) value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated loss of revenue and of costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased; and (3) above- or below-market value of in-place leases, which represents the difference between the contractual rents and market rents at the time of the acquisition, discounted for tenant credit risks. The value of in-place leases is recorded in acquired lease intangibles and amortized over the remaining lease term. Above- or below-market leases are classified in acquired lease intangibles, or in acquired below-market lease intangibles, depending on whether the contractual terms are above- or below-market. Above-market leases are amortized as a decrease to rental revenue over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases and below-market leases are amortized as an increase to rental revenue over the remaining initial lease term and any fixed rate renewal periods, if applicable.
 
Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and costs that do not meet the definition of a liability at the acquisition date are expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not acquire any properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company acquired nine properties; Morningside Marketplace (“Morningside Marketplace”), Woodland West Marketplace (“Woodland West”), Ensenada Square (“Ensenada Square”), the Shops at Turkey Creek (“Turkey Creek”), Aurora Commons (“Aurora Commons”), Florissant Marketplace (“Florissant”), Willow Run Shopping Center (“Willow Run”), Bloomingdale Hills (“Bloomingdale Hills”) and Visalia Marketplace (“Visalia Marketplace”) for an aggregate purchase price of $103.4 million. The Company recorded these acquisitions as business combinations and incurred $3,037,000 of acquisition costs. Costs incurred in pursuit of targeted properties for acquisitions not yet closed or those determined to no longer be viable and costs incurred which are expected to result in future period disposals of property not currently classified as held for sale properties have been expensed and are also classified in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as transaction expenses.
 
Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require the Company to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of the Company’s acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of the Company’s net income. These allocations also impact depreciation expense, amortization expense and gains or losses recorded on future sales of properties.
 
Reportable Segments
 
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments. The Company has one reportable segment, income-producing retail properties, which consists of activities related to investing in real estate. The retail properties are geographically diversified throughout the United States, and the Company evaluates operating performance on an overall portfolio level.
 
 
10

 
Investments in Real Estate
 
Real property is recorded at estimated fair value at time of acquisition with subsequent additions at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs include those related to acquisition, development and construction, including tenant improvements, interest incurred during development, costs of predevelopment and certain direct and indirect costs of development. Costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred, and are included in transaction expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
Depreciation and amortization is computed using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
 
 
 
Years
 
Buildings and improvements
 
5 - 48 years
 
Exterior improvements
 
10 - 20 years
 
Equipment and fixtures
 
5 - 10 years
 
 
Tenant improvement costs recorded as capital assets are depreciated over the shorter of (1) the tenant’s remaining lease term or (2) the life of the improvement.
 
Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as they are incurred. Significant renovations and improvements that improve or extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized.
 
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
 
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its investments in real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying value of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, the Company assesses the recoverability by estimating whether the Company will recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets through its undiscounted future cash flows and its eventual disposition. If, based on this analysis, the Company does not believe that it will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, the Company would record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the investments in real estate and related intangible assets. Key inputs that the Company estimates in this analysis include projected rental rates, capital expenditures and property sale capitalization rates. The Company did not record any impairment losses on its investments in real estate and related intangible assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
Assets Held-for-Sale and Discontinued Operations
 
When certain criteria are met, long-lived assets are classified as held-for-sale and are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. Discontinued operations is a component of an entity that has either been disposed of or is deemed to be held-for-sale and (i) the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from ongoing operations as a result of the disposal transaction and (ii) the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
 
      Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; 
      Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and 
      Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
 
 
11

 
When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices or other observable inputs (Level 2 inputs), such as interest rates or yield curves, from independent third-party sources to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require the Company to use significant judgment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When the Company determines the market for an asset owned by it to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, the Company uses several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establishes a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another a present value technique that considers the future cash flows based on contractual obligations discounted by an observed or estimated market rates of comparable liabilities. The use of contractual cash flows with regard to amount and timing significantly reduces the judgment applied in arriving at fair value.
 
Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
 
The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of an inactive market: (1) there are few recent transactions, (2) price quotations are not based on current information, (3) price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets), (4) indexes that previously were highly correlated with the fair values of the asset or liability are demonstrably uncorrelated with recent indications of fair value for that asset or liability, (5) there is a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indicators (such as delinquency rates or loss severities) for observed transactions or quoted prices when compared with the Company’s estimate of expected cash flows, considering all available market data about credit and other nonperformance risk for the asset or liability, (6) there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread, (7) there is a significant decline or absence of a market for new issuances (that is, a primary market) for the asset or liability or similar assets or liabilities, and (8) little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to-principal market).
 
The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of non-orderly transactions: (1) there was not adequate exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities under current market conditions, (2) there was a usual and customary marketing period, but the seller marketed the asset or liability to a single market participant, (3) the seller is in or near bankruptcy or receivership (that is, distressed), or the seller was required to sell to meet regulatory or legal requirements (that is, forced), and (4) the transaction price is an outlier when compared with other recent transactions for the same or similar assets or liabilities.
 
Deferred Financing Costs
 
Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, loan fees, legal fees and other third-party costs associated with obtaining financing. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financings that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income to stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that it distributes as dividends to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, the Company believes that it is organized and operates in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT. The Company may also be subject to certain state or local income taxes, or franchise taxes.
 
The Company evaluates tax positions taken in the financial statements under the interpretation for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As a result of this evaluation, the Company may recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities.
 
When necessary, deferred income taxes are recognized in certain taxable entities. Deferred income tax is generally a function of the period’s temporary differences (items that are treated differently for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes). A valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets is provided if all or some portion of the deferred income tax asset may not be realized. Any increase or decrease in the valuation allowance is generally included in deferred income tax expense.
 
 
12

 
The Company’s tax returns remain subject to examination and consequently, the taxability of the distributions is subject to change.
 
Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the basic EPS computation for the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The effect of non-vested shares, if dilutive, is computed using the treasury stock method. The Company accounts for unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities, which are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company’s excess of distributions over earnings related to participating securities are shown as a reduction in income (loss) applicable to common stockholders in the Company’s computation of EPS.
 
Reclassification
 
Assets sold or held-for-sale have been reclassified on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the related operating results reclassified from continuing to discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Certain amounts from the prior year have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
 
The Company reports as discontinued operations, properties held-for-sale and operating properties sold in the current or prior periods. The results of these discontinued operations are included in a separate component of income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Discontinued operations.”
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company completed the sale of the Waianae Mall in Waianae, Hawaii (acquired in June 2010), for a sales price of $30,500,000. The Company classified assets and liabilities (including the mortgage debt) related to Waianae Mall as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012. The results of operations related to Waianae Mall were classified as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company announced a plan to place Craig Promenade and Willow Run on the market for sale, and during the three months ended September 30, 2013, Visalia Marketplace was added to the plan and also placed on the market for sale. All three of the properties secure the revolving credit facility with KeyBank (see Note 6. NOTES PAYABLE). If the Company is successful in selling any of the properties placed on the market for sale on acceptable terms, net proceeds from the sale of the properties will be used to pay down the Company’s revolving credit facility with KeyBank. The results of operations related to these properties were classified as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. None of the three properties were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2012.
 
On November 9, 2012, TNP SRT Lahaina Gateway, LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“TNP SRT Lahaina”), financed TNP SRT Lahaina’s acquisition of a ground lease interest in the Lahaina Gateway property, a multi-tenant necessity retail center located in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii, with the proceeds of a loan (the "Lahaina Loan") from DOF IV REIT Holdings, LLC (the "Lahaina Lender").  On August 1, 2013, in order to resolve its obligations under the Lahaina Loan, mitigate certain risks presented by the terms of the Lahaina loan and avoid potential litigation and foreclosure proceedings (and the associated costs and delays), TNP SRT Lahaina granted and conveyed all of TNP SRT Lahaina’s right, title and interest in and to the leasehold estate in the Lahaina Gateway property, including all leases, improvements, licenses and permits and personal property related thereto, to DOF IV Lahaina, LLC, an affiliate of the Lahaina Lender, pursuant to a Deed In Lieu Of Foreclosure Agreement by and among the Company, TNP SRT Lahaina and the Lahaina lender.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company realized a loss of $5,394,000 associated with the Deed In Lieu transaction (see Note 6. NOTES PAYABLE). The loss and the results of operations related to TNP SRT Lahaina were classified as discontinued operations, loss on extinguishment of debt, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The parcel was not classified as held for sale at December 31, 2012.
 
On December 4, 2012, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement, as amended, with a third party for the sale of the office building at the Aurora Commons property (acquired in March 2012). On or about May 9, 2013, the purchase and sale agreement, as amended, for the sale of the office building at the Aurora Commons property expired and the buyer did not release the contingencies in the purchase and sale agreement. The Company classified assets and liabilities related to the office portion of the Aurora Commons property as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012. The results of operations related to the office building at Aurora Commons, previously classified as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, were included within continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and all previously unrecorded depreciation was recorded.

Discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 included the operating results of five land parcels at Morningside Marketplace and Osceola Village which were sold in 2012, as well as, the operating results related to Craig Promenade, Willow Run, Visalia Marketplace, and Waianae Mall.

4. FUTURE MINIMUM RENTAL INCOME
 
Operating Leases
 
The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of September 30, 2013, the leases at the Company’s properties have remaining terms (excluding options to extend) of up to 21 years with a weighted-average remaining term (excluding options to extend) of eight years. The leases may have provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires security deposits from tenants in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. Amounts required as security deposits vary depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally are not significant amounts. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets and totaled $379,000 and $651,000 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

KeyBank Credit Facility and Forbearance Agreement
 
On December 17, 2010, the Company, through its subsidiary, Secured Holdings, entered into a line of credit with KeyBank and certain other lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) to establish a secured revolving credit facility with an initial maximum aggregate commitment of $35 million (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility initially consisted of an A tranche (“Tranche A”) with an initial aggregate commitment of $25 million, and a B tranche (“Tranche B”) with an initial aggregate commitment of $10 million. Tranche B under the Credit Facility terminated as of June 30, 2011. The aggregate commitment under Tranche A was subsequently increased on multiple occasions to a maximum of $45 million. As of September 30, 2013, as a consequence of the Company’s default under the Credit Facility, the Company has no additional availability under the Tranche A commitment.
 
As of September 30, 2013, the outstanding principal balance on the Credit Facility, including debt reclassified under liabilities held for sale, was $36,455,000. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by (1) pledges by the Company, the OP, Secured Holdings, and certain subsidiaries of Secured Holdings, of their respective direct and indirect equity ownership interests in, as applicable, any subsidiary of Secured Holdings or us which directly or indirectly owns real property, subject to certain limitations and exceptions, (2) guarantees, granted by the Company and the OP on a joint and several basis, of the prompt and full payment of all of the obligations under the Credit Facility, (3) a security interest granted in favor of KeyBank with respect to all operating, depository, escrow and security deposit accounts and all cash management services of the Company, the OP, Secured Holdings and any other borrower under the Credit Facility, and (4) a deed of trust, assignment agreement, security agreement and fixture filing in favor of KeyBank with respect to the San Jacinto Esplanade, Craig Promenade, Willow Run Shopping Center, Visalia Marketplace and Aurora Commons properties. As discussed below, due to the Company’s events of default under the Credit Facility, the Company has entered into a forbearance agreement with KeyBank.
 
Under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with certain restrictive and financial covenants. In January 2013, the Company became aware of a number of events of default under the Credit Facility relating to, among other things, the Company’s failure to use the net proceeds from its sale of shares in the Offering and the sale of its assets to repay borrowings under the Credit Facility as required by the Credit Facility and its failure to satisfy certain financial covenants under the Credit Facility (collectively, the “Existing Events of Default”). The Company also failed to comply with certain financial covenants at March 31, 2013. Due to the Existing Events of Default, the Lenders became entitled to exercise all of their rights and remedies under the Credit Facility and applicable law.
 
 
16

 
On April 1, 2013, the Company, the OP, certain subsidiaries of the OP which are borrowers under the Credit Facility (collectively, the “Borrowers”) and KeyBank, as lender and agent for the other Lenders, entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) which amended the terms of the Credit Facility and provides for certain additional agreements with respect to the Existing Events of Default. On July 31, 2013, the OP, the Borrowers and KeyBank entered into an amendment to the Forbearance Agreement which extended the forbearance period under the Forbearance Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement (as amended), KeyBank and the other Lenders agreed to forbear the exercise of their rights and remedies with respect to the Existing Events of Default until the earliest to occur of (1) January 31, 2014, (2) the Company’s default under or breach of any of the representations or covenants under the Forbearance Agreement or (3) the date any additional events of defaults (other than the Existing Events of Default) under the Credit Facility occur or become known to KeyBank or any other Lender, (the “Forbearance Expiration Date”). Upon the Forbearance Expiration Date, all forbearances, deferrals and indulgences granted by the Lenders pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement will automatically terminate and the Lenders will be entitled to enforce, without further notice of any kind, any and all rights and remedies available to them as creditors at law, in equity, or pursuant to the Credit Facility or any other agreement as a result of the existing events of default or any additional events of default which occur or come to light following the date of the Forbearance Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Company, the OP and all of the Borrowers under the Credit Facility have jointly and severally agreed to pay to KeyBank (1) any and all out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including legal fees and disbursements) incurred or sustained by the Lenders in connection with the preparation of the Forbearance Agreement and all related matters, and (2) from time to time after the occurrence of any default under the Forbearance Agreement any out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including legal fees and consulting and other similar professional fees and expenses) incurred by the Lenders in connection with the preservation of or enforcement of any rights of the Lenders under the Forbearance Agreement and the Credit Facility. In connection with the execution of the Forbearance Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay a market rate forbearance fee.
 
The Forbearance Agreement converts the entire outstanding principal balance under the Credit Facility (the “Outstanding Loans”) into a term loan which is due and payable in full on January 31, 2014. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Company, the OP and every other borrower under the Credit Facility must apply 100% of the net proceeds from, among other things, (1) the sale of shares in the Offering or any other sale of securities by the Company, the OP or any other borrower, (2) the sale or refinancing of any of the Company’s properties or other assets, and (3) the collection of insurance or condemnation proceeds due to any damage or destruction of properties or any condemnation for public use of any properties, to the repayment of the Outstanding Loans. The Company paid down a total of $1,983,000 of the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility from the net proceeds from the sales of the Waianae Mall in January 2013 and the McDonalds pad at Willow Run in February 2013. The Forbearance Agreement provides that all commitments under the Credit Facility will terminate on January 31, 2014 and that, effective as of the date of the Forbearance Agreement, the Lenders have no further obligation whatsoever to advance any additional loans or amounts under the Credit Facility. The Forbearance Agreement also provides that neither the Company, the OP or any other borrower under the Credit Facility may, without KeyBank’s prior written consent, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to any indebtedness other than the existing indebtedness specified in the Forbearance Agreement and any refinancing of such existing indebtedness which does not materially modify the terms of such existing indebtedness in a manner adverse to the Company or the Lenders.
 
Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is not permitted to make, without the Lender’s consent, certain restricted payments (as defined in the Credit Facility) which includes the payment of distributions that are not required to maintain the Company’s REIT status.
 
Waianae Loan Assumption
 
On January 22, 2013, the Company sold the Waianae Mall in Waianae, Hawaii to an unaffiliated buyer for a final sales price of $29,763,000. The mortgage loan secured by the Waianae Mall with an outstanding balance of $19,717,000 was assumed by the buyer in connection with the sale. The Company incurred a disposition fee to Prior Advisor of $893,000 in connection with the sale.
 
Lahaina Loan
 
In connection with the acquisition of Lahaina Gateway property on November 9, 2012, the Company, through TNP SRT Lahaina, borrowed $29,000,000 from the Lahaina Lender. The entire unpaid principal balance of the Lahaina Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon was due and payable in full on October 1, 2017. The Lahaina Loan bore interest at a rate of 9.483% per annum for the initial 12 months, and then 11.429% for the remainder of the term of the loan. On each of December 1, 2012, January 1, 2013, and February 1, 2013, the Company was required to make a mandatory principal prepayment of $333,333, such that the Company would prepay an aggregate $1,000,000 of the outstanding principal balance of the Lahaina Loan, no later than February 1, 2013.
 
 
17

 
On January 14, 2013, the Company received a letter of default from the Lahaina Lender in connection with the certain Guaranty of Recourse Obligations by the Company and Anthony W. Thompson, the Company’s Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer at the time, for the benefit of the Lahaina Lender, pursuant to which the Company and Mr. Thompson guaranteed the obligations of TNP SRT Lahaina under the Lahaina Loan. The letter of default stated that two events of default existed under the Lahaina Loan as a result of the failure of TNP SRT Lahaina to (1) pay a deposit into a rollover account, and (2) pay two mandatory principal payments. The Lahaina Lender requested payment of the missed deposit into the rollover account, the two overdue mandatory principal payments, and late payment charges and default interest in the aggregate amount of $1,281,000 by January 18, 2013. On January 22, 2013, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Waianae Mall (discussed above) to pay the entire amount requested by Lahaina Lender and cure the events of default described in the letter of default under the Lahaina Loan.
 
Since the acquisition of the Lahaina Gateway property on November 9, 2012, cash from operations from the Lahaina Gateway property has not been sufficient to support the property’s operating expenses, the debt service obligations under the Lahaina Loan, and the various cash reserve requirements imposed by the Lahaina Lender.  As a result, since the acquisition of the Lahaina Gateway property, the Company has supported the property’s cash requirements with cash from operations generated by other properties within the Company’s portfolio. In addition to the property cash flow issues, the Lahaina Loan contained a number of provisions that potentially exposed the Company to increased risk and constrained its ability to make certain strategic decisions. In order to settle the Company’s obligations under the Lahaina Loan and avoid potential litigation and foreclosure proceedings (and the associated delays and expenses), relating to the Lahaina Gateway property, on August 1, 2013, the Company entered into a deed in lieu of foreclosure agreement with the Lahaina Lender (the “DIL Agreement”). Pursuant to the DIL Agreement, the Company conveyed title to the Lahaina Gateway property to a designee of the Lahaina Lender in exchange for the Lahaina Lender’s agreement not to seek payment from the Company for any amounts owed under the Lahaina Loan, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the DIL Agreement and the agreements entered into in connection therewith. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company realized a loss of $5,394,000 associated with the Deed In Lieu transaction which was derived from the carrying value of all of Lahaina Gateway’s assets of $34,070,000 less the carrying value of all of its liabilities of $28,676,000, on August 1, 2013.
 
KeyBank Mezzanine Loan
 
On June 13, 2012, the Company, through TNP SRT Portfolio II Holdings, LLC obtained a mezzanine loan from KeyBank in the original principal amount of $2,000,000.The proceeds of the mezzanine loan were used to refinance the portions of the Credit Facility secured by Morningside Marketplace, Cochran Bypass (Bi Lo Grocery Store), Ensenada Square, Florissant Marketplace and Turkey Creek. The mezzanine loan was repaid in full in January 2013 using a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Waianae Mall.

7. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
 
The Company believes the total carrying values reflected on its condensed consolidated balance sheets reasonably approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and amounts due to affiliates due to their short-term nature, except for the Company’s notes payable, which are disclosed below.
 
The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated using a present value technique based on contractual cash flows and management’s observations of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. The Company significantly reduces the amount of judgment and subjectivity in its fair value determination through the use of cash flow inputs that are based on contractual obligations. Discount rates are determined by observing interest rates published by independent market participants for comparable instruments. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 2 inputs.

The following table provides the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s notes payable related to continuing operations as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

8. EQUITY
 
Common Stock
 
Under the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the “Charter”), the Company has the authority to issue 400,000,000 shares of common stock. All shares of common stock have a par value of $0.01 per share. On October 16, 2008, the Company issued 22,222 shares of common stock to TNP LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. As of September 30, 2013, Sharon D. Thompson, the wife of Anthony W.

  On February 7, 2013, the Company terminated the Offering and ceased offering shares of common stock in the primary offering and under the DRIP. As of the termination of the Offering on February 7, 2013, the Company had accepted subscriptions for, and issued, 10,969,714 shares of common stock (net of share redemptions), including 391,182 shares of common stock pursuant to the DRIP, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $108,357,000.
 
Common Units
 
Prior Advisor invested $1,000 in the OP in exchange for common units of the OP, and as of September 30, 2013, Prior Advisor owned 0.01% of the limited partnership interest in the OP. On May 26, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Pinehurst Square East, a retail property located in Bismarck, North Dakota, the OP issued 287,472 Common Units to certain of the sellers of Pinehurst Square East who elected to receive Common Units for an aggregate value of approximately $2,587,000, or $9.00 per Common Unit. On March 12, 2012, in connection with the acquisition of Turkey Creek, a retail property located in Knoxville, Tennessee, the OP issued 144,324 Common Units to certain of the sellers of Turkey Creek who elected to receive Common Units for an aggregate value of approximately $1,371,079, or $9.50 per Common Unit.
 
Member Interests
 
On July 9, 2013, SRT Secured Holdings Manager, LLC (“SRT Manager”), an affiliate of Glenborough, made a cash investment of $1,929,000 in Secured Holdings pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, SRT Manager, Secured Holdings, and the OP, and, as of September 30, 2013, SRT Manager owned a twelve percent (12%) membership interest in Secured Holdings.  Following the acquisition of the membership interest by SRT Manager, the remaining eighty-eight percent (88%) membership interest in Secured Holdings is held by the OP. As of September 30, 2013, Secured Holdings owns five of the nineteen multi-tenant retail properties in the Company’s property portfolio. The Company’s independent directors approved the transaction in order to help enable the Company to meet its short-term liquidity needs for operations, as well as to build working capital for future operations.
 
Preferred Stock
 
The Charter authorizes the Company to issue 50,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
 
Share Redemption Program
 
The Company’s share redemption program allows for share repurchases by the Company when certain criteria are met by requesting stockholders. Share repurchases pursuant to the share redemption program are made at the sole discretion of the Company. The number of shares to be redeemed during any calendar year is limited to no more than (1) 5.0% of the weighted average of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year and (2) those that could be funded from the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the DRIP in the prior calendar year plus such additional funds as may be borrowed or reserved for that purpose by the Company’s board of directors. The Company reserves the right to reject any redemption request for any reason or no reason or to amend or terminate the share redemption program at any time.
 
 
19

 
Effective January 15, 2013, the Company suspended its share redemption program, including redemptions upon death and disability, and the Company did not redeem any common shares under its share redemption program during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company redeemed 26,094 shares of common shares under its share redemption program. 
 
Distributions
 
In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to its stockholders. Some or all of the Company’s distributions have been paid, and in the future may continue to be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations.
 
Effective January 15, 2013, the Company announced that it will no longer be making monthly distributions. For so long as the Company remains in default under the terms of the Credit Facility, KeyBank prohibits the payment of distributions to investors in the Company. Once the prohibitions on distributions imposed by the Credit Facility are no longer in place, the Company’s board of directors will periodically evaluate the Company’s ability to make quarterly distributions based on the Company’s other operational cash needs. Due to the prohibitions imposed by the Credit Facility, the Company’s board of directors has determined that quarterly distributions for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 will not be made.
 
The following table sets forth the distributions declared and paid to the Company’s common stockholders and non-controlling Common Unit holders for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively:

Distribution Reinvestment Plan
 
The Company adopted the DRIP to allow common stockholders to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock through the reinvestment of distributions, subject to certain conditions. The Company registered and reserved 10,526,316 shares of its common stock for sale pursuant to the DRIP.   The DRIP was terminated effective February 7, 2013 in connection with the expiration of the Offering and the Company’s deregistration of all of the unsold shares registered for sale pursuant to the Offering. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, $246,000 and $1,685,000 in distributions were reinvested and 25,940 and 177,303 shares of common stock were issued under the DRIP, respectively.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the basic EPS computation for the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The effect of non-vested shares, if dilutive, is computed using the treasury stock method. The Company applies the two-class method for determining EPS as its outstanding unvested shares with non-forfeitable dividend rights are considered participating securities. The Company’s excess of distributions over earnings related to participating securities are shown as a reduction in income (loss) attributable to common stockholders in the Company’s computation of EPS.

10. INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN
 
The Company adopted an incentive award plan on July 7, 2009 (the “Incentive Award Plan”) that provides for the grant of equity awards to its employees, directors and consultants and those of the Company’s affiliates. The Incentive Award Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards or cash-based awards. The Company has reserved 2,000,000 shares of common stock for stock grants pursuant to the Incentive Award Plan.
 
Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Independent Directors Compensation Plan, which is a sub-plan of the Incentive Award Plan (the “Directors Plan”), the Company granted each of its independent directors an initial grant of 5,000 shares of restricted stock (the “initial restricted stock grant”) following the Company’s raising of the $2,000,000 minimum offering amount in the Offering on November 12, 2009. Each new independent director that subsequently joins the board of directors receives the initial restricted stock grant on the date he or she joins the board of directors. In addition, on the date of each of the Company’s annual stockholders meetings at which an independent director is re-elected to the board of directors, he or she may receive 2,500 shares of restricted stock. The restricted stock vests one-third on the date of grant and one-third on each of the next two anniversaries of the grant date. The restricted stock will become fully vested and non-forfeitable in the event of an independent director’s termination of service due to his or her death or disability, or upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized compensation expense of $7,500 and $39,000, respectively, related to restricted common stock grants to its independent directors, which is included in general and administrative expense in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized compensation expense of $33,000 and $65,000, respectively. Shares of restricted common stock have full voting rights and rights to dividends.
 
 
21

 
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was $25,000 and $60,000, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested shares of restricted common stock. As of September 30, 2013, this expense is expected to be realized over a remaining period of one year. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of the non-vested shares of restricted common stock was $45,000 and $90,000, respectively, and 5,000 and 10,000 shares remain unvested, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no restricted stock grants issued and 5,000 shares of restricted stock vested.

In March 2012, the Company reimbursed its Prior Advisor $240,000 related to a non-refundable earnest deposit incurred by an affiliate of Prior Advisor in 2010 on a potential acquisition commonly known as Morrison Crossing. The reimbursement was subsequently determined by the Company to be non-reimbursable since the acquisition was not one that was approved by the Company’s board of directors in 2010 and accordingly, the Company recorded the amount as a receivable from Prior Advisor and recorded a provision to reserve the entire amount at December 31, 2012, and until May 2013, when the Company settled with Prior Advisor and determined to not seek reimbursement from Prior Advisor for the amount previously paid.
 
Organization and Offering Costs
 
Organization and offering costs of the Company (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee described below) were initially paid by Prior Advisor and its affiliates on the Company’s behalf. Such costs include legal, accounting, printing and other offering expenses, including marketing, salaries and direct expenses of certain of Prior Advisor’s employees and employees of Prior Advisor’s affiliates and others. Pursuant to the Prior Advisory Agreement, the Company was obligated to reimburse Prior Advisor or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs associated with the Offering, provided the Company was not obligated to reimburse Prior Advisor to the extent organization and offering costs, other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees, incurred by the Company exceed 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the Offering. Any such reimbursement will not exceed actual expenses incurred by Prior Advisor.
 
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, cumulative organization and offering costs incurred by Prior Advisor on the Company’s behalf were $3,272,000 and $3,016,000, respectively. These costs were payable by the Company to the extent organization and offering costs, other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees, did not exceed 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. As of September 30, 2013, cumulative organization and offering costs reimbursed to Prior Advisor or paid directly by the Company were $4,273,000, which amount exceeded 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering by $1,001,000. This excess amount was billed to Prior Advisor and settled as of January 31, 2013.
 
 
23

 

Under the new Advisory Agreement, the Company shall reimburse Advisor for all offering and marketing related expenses incurred on the Company’s behalf in connection with any private placement up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds of such private placement. There were no such expenses under the new Advisory Agreement for the three months ended September 30, 2013. 

    

Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees
 
Prior to the termination of the Offering, the Dealer Manager received a sales commission of 7.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in the primary offering. The Dealer Manager also received 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares in the primary offering in the form of a dealer manager fee as compensation for acting as the dealer manager. The Company incurred selling commissions and dealer manager fees during the following periods:

Reimbursement of Operating Expenses
 
The Company reimbursed Prior Advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by Prior Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company did not reimburse Prior Advisor for any amount by which the Company’s operating expenses (including the asset management fee described below) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of: (1) 2% of its average invested assets (as defined in the Charter), or (2) 25% of its net income (as defined in the Charter) determined without reduction for any additions to depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash expenses and excluding any gain from the sale of the Company’s assets for that period (the “2%/25% guideline”). Notwithstanding the above, the Company could reimburse Prior Advisor for expenses in excess of the 2%/25% guideline if a majority of the independent directors determined that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors. Under the Advisory Agreement, the terms and conditions regarding the reimbursement of operating expenses are generally the same as the Prior Advisory Agreement. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2013, the Company’s total operating expenses (as defined in the Charter) did not exceed the 2%/25% guideline.
 
The Company reimbursed Prior Advisor for the cost of administrative services, including personnel costs and its allocable share of other overhead of Prior Advisor such as rent and utilities; provided, however, that no reimbursement could be made for costs of such personnel to the extent that personnel are used in transactions for which Prior Advisor received a separate fee or with respect to an officer of the Company. See the Summary of Related Party Fees table for incurred administrative services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

The terms and conditions of the new property management agreements with Glenborough are generally the same as the prior property management agreements except the property management fees are calculated at a maximum of up to 4% of gross revenue (reduced from 5% in the prior agreements).

The Company paid Prior Advisor a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of 0.6% of the aggregate cost of all real estate investments the Company acquires; provided, however, that Prior Advisor could not be paid the asset management fee until the Company’s funds from operations exceed the lesser of (1) the cumulative amount of any distributions declared and payable to the Company’s stockholders or (2) an amount that is equal to a 10.0% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on invested capital for the Company’s stockholders. On November 11, 2011, the board of directors approved Amendment No. 2 to the Prior Advisory Agreement to clarify that upon termination of the Prior Advisory Agreement, any asset management fees that may have accumulated in arrears, but which had not been earned pursuant to the terms of the Prior Advisory Agreement, will not be paid to Prior Advisor.
 
Under the Advisory Agreement, Advisor will receive an asset management fee equal to a monthly fee of one-twelfth (1/12th) of 0.6% of the higher of (1) aggregate cost on a GAAP basis (before non cash reserves and depreciation) of all investments the Company owns, including any debt attributable to such investments or (2) the fair market value of investments (before non-cash reserves and deprecation) if the Company’s board of directors has authorized the estimate of a fair market value of the Company’s investments; provided, however, that the asset management fee will not be less than $250,000 in the aggregate during any one (1) calendar year. 

 

See the Summary of Related Party Fees table for incurred asset management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

See the Summary of Related Party Fees table for incurred disposition fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
Leasing Commission Fee

Financing Coordination Fee
 
On January 12, 2012, the board of directors approved Amendment No. 3 to the Prior Advisory Agreement to provide for the payment of a financing coordination fee to Prior Advisor in an amount equal to 1.0% of any amount financed or refinanced by the Company or the OP. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor will receive a financing coordination fee equal to 1.0% of the amount made available and/or outstanding under any (1) financing obtained or assumed, directly or indirectly, by the Company or the OP and used to acquire or originate investments, or (2) the refinancing of any financing obtained or assumed, directly or indirectly, by the Company or the OP. See the Summary of Related Party Fees table for incurred financing coordination fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
Guaranty Fees
 
In connection with certain acquisition financings, the Company’s former Chairman and former Co-Chief Executive Officer and/or TNP LLC had executed certain guaranty agreements to the respective lenders. As consideration for such guaranty, the Company entered into a reimbursement and fee agreement to provide for an upfront payment and an annual guaranty fee payment for the duration of the guarantee period. See the Summary of Related Party Fees table for incurred guaranty fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

All Morningside Affiliate Loans including unpaid accrued interest were paid in full during the first quarter of 2012. See the Summary of Related Party Fees table for incurred interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
On September 20, 2013, the Company borrowed $500,000 from Glenborough Property Partners, LLC (“Glenborough Lender”), an affiliate of Advisor, pursuant to an unsecured promissory note by the Company in favor of Glenborough Lender (the “Glenborough Loan”).

The entire unpaid principal amount of the Glenborough Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts due under the Glenborough Loan will be due and payable in full on February 28, 2014; provided, however, that in the event that the Advisory Agreement between the Company, OP, and Advisor is terminated by the Company (excluding any termination by the Company for cause) or expires without renewal, the maturity date will be accelerated to the date of such termination or expiration of the Advisory Agreement. The Glenborough Loan will bear interest at a per annum rate of seven percent (7.0%).

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Osceola Village Contingencies
 
In connection with the acquisition financing on Osceola Village, the Company through its subsidiary, granted a lender a profit participation in the property Osceola Village equal to 25% of the net profits received by the Company upon the sale of the property (the “Profit Participation Payment”). Net profits is calculated as (1) the gross proceeds received by the Company upon a sale of the property in an arms-length transaction at market rates to third parties less (2) the sum of: (a) principal repaid to the lender out of such sales proceeds at the time of such sale; (b) all bona fide closing costs and similar expenses provided that all such closing costs and similar expenses are paid to third parties, unaffiliated with the Company including, without limitation, reasonable brokerage fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees paid to third parties, unaffiliated with the Company and incurred by the Company in connection with the sale; and (c) a stipulated amount of $3,200,000. If for any reason consummation of such sale has not occurred on or before the scheduled maturity date or any earlier foreclosure of the underlying mortgage loan secured by the property, the Company shall be deemed to have sold the property as of the business day immediately preceding the mortgage loan maturity date or the filing date of the foreclosure action, whichever is applicable, for an amount equal to a stipulated sales price and shall pay the lender the Profit Participation Payment. In the event the underlying mortgage loan is prepaid, the Company shall also be required to immediately pay the Profit Participation Payment based upon a deemed sale of the property for a stipulated sales price. Based on the estimated sale price as of September 30, 2013, the Company determined that it does not have any liability under the Profit Participation Payment as of September 30, 2013.
 
Additionally, in connection with the acquisition financing on Osceola Village, the Company entered into a Master Lease Agreement (the “Master Lease”) with TNP SRT Osceola Village Master Lessee, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the OP (the “Master Lessee”). Pursuant to the Master Lease, TNP SRT Osceola Village leased to Master Lessee the approximately 23,000 square foot portion of Osceola Village which was not leased to third-party tenants as of the closing date (the “Premises”). The Master Lease provides that the Master Lessee will pay TNP SRT Osceola Village a monthly rent in an amount equal to $36,425, provided that such monthly amount will be reduced proportionally for each square foot of space at the premises subsequently leased to third-party tenants pursuant to leases which are reasonably acceptable to the lender and which satisfy certain criteria set forth in the Master Lease (“Approved Leases”). The Master Lease has a seven-year term, subject to earlier expiration upon the earlier to occur of (1) the date on which all available rentable space at the Premises is leased to third-party tenants pursuant to Approved Leases and (2) the date on which the mortgage loan is repaid in full in cash (other than as a result of a credit bid by the lender at a foreclosure sale). The Master Lessee has no right to assign or pledge the Master Lease or to sublet any part of the premises without the prior written consent of TNP SRT Osceola Village and the lender. In connection with the acquisition of Osceola Village, TNP SRT Osceola Village obtained a mortgage (the “Osceola Loan”) from American National Insurance Company (“ANICO”). The Master Lease was assigned to ANICO pursuant to the assignment of leases and rents in favor of ANICO entered into by TNP SRT Osceola Village in connection with the Osceola Loan. Pursuant to the Master Lease, the Master Lessee acknowledges and agrees that upon any default by TNP SRT Osceola Village under any of the loan documents related to the Osceola Loan, ANICO will be entitled to enforce the assignment of the Master Lease to ANICO and replace TNP SRT Osceola Village under the Master Lease for all purposes.

Constitution Trail Contingency
 
In connection with the financing of the Constitution Trail acquisition, TNP SRT Constitution Trail, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the OP (“TNP SRT Constitution Trail”) and TNP SRT Constitution Trail Master Lessee, LLC (the “Starplex Master Lessee”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the OP, entered into a Master Lease Agreement with respect to a portion of Constitution Trail (the “Starplex Master Lease”). Pursuant to the Starplex Master Lease, TNP SRT Constitution Trail leased to the Starplex Master Lessee an approximately 7.78 acre parcel of land included in the Constitution Trail property, and the approximately 44,064 square foot Starplex Cinemas building located thereon (the “Starplex Premises”). The Starplex Master Lease provides that, in the event that the annual gross sales from the Starplex premises are less than $2,800,000, then thereafter the Starplex Master Lessee will pay TNP SRT Constitution Trail a monthly rent in an amount equal to $62,424 ($749,088 annually), subject to an offset based on any minimum annual rent for the Starplex premises received by TNP SRT Constitution Trail. The Starplex Master Lease will expire upon the earlier to occur of (1) December 31, 2018 and (2) the date on which the Constitution Trail mortgage loan is repaid in full in cash (other than as a result of a credit bid by the lender at a foreclosure sale or refinancing of the Constitution Trail Loan). The Starplex Master Lessee has no right to assign or pledge the Starplex Master Lease or to sublet any part of the Starplex premises without the prior written consent of TNP SRT Constitution Trail and the lender of the mortgage loan.
 
Carson Plaza Contingency
 
In 2012, the Company pursued an acquisition commonly known as Carson Plaza and placed a non-refundable deposit of $250,000 into escrow which was expensed and included in transaction expense for the year ended December 31, 2012. The acquisition did not materialize as a result of the Company’s claim of certain undisclosed environmental conditions uncovered during due diligence. The seller disagreed with the Company’s claim and the Company filed a lawsuit seeking to recover the deposit. The lawsuit was settled in August 2013 and, as part of that settlement, the Company received $125,000 as a partial refund of the deposit which was recognized as a reduction to transaction expense in the third quarter of 2013.
 
Economic Dependency
 
As disclosed in “Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS”, the Company has recently transitioned to a new external advisor. The Company is dependent on Advisor and its affiliates for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase, and disposition of real estate and real estate-related investments, management of the daily operations of the Company’s real estate and real estate-related investment portfolio, and other general and administrative responsibilities In the event that the Advisor is unable to provide such services to the Company, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.
 
Environmental
 
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities.
 
Legal Matters
 
As of September 30, 2013, the Company is involved in three separate  legal proceedings as summarized below.
 
Litigation Concerning Change in Transfer Agents
 
On or about August 12, 2013, the Company commenced a civil action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Mr. Anthony W. Thompson, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and TNP Transfer Agent, LLC (the “Prior Transfer Agent”). The Company alleged that it had replaced the Prior Transfer Agent with a new transfer agent, but Mr. Thompson was causing the Prior Transfer Agent to refuse to transfer the stockholder information belonging to the Company to the new transfer agent.  The Company sought affirmative injunctive relief compelling the defendants to transfer all stockholder information belonging to the Company to the new transfer agent.  On September 6, 2013, the Court granted the Company’s motion to expedite the proceeding due to the threat of irreparable harm to the Company and its stockholders.  A final hearing on the merits is now scheduled for November 26, 2013.  Subsequent to the Court’s ruling granting the motion to expedite, the defendants provided some of the requested information.  To date, however, the defendants still have not provided all of the requested information.  The Company believes it has a strong case on the merits and intends to seek full compliance by the defendants.

On or about September 9, 2013, TNP Property Manager, LLC (“TNP Property Manager”), the Company’s former property manager, commenced a civil action in the Superior Court of the State of California for Orange County against Glenborough and the Company.  The Company was not served until October 15, 2013.  The complaint relates to the recently announced termination by the Company of the property management agreements between TNP Property Manager and the subsidiaries of the Company that own the various real estate projects in the Company’s portfolio and the selection of Glenborough to act as the Company’s new property manager.  TNP Property Manager alleges that there was no valid basis for the Company to terminate the prior property management agreements and that the Company is now in breach of the agreements.  In addition, the TNP Property Manager accuses Glenborough of “intentional interference with economic relationship.”  From the Company, TNP Property Manager seeks an award of compensatory damages in the amount of at least $5 million.  From Glenborough, TNP Property Manager seeks an award of compensatory damages in the amount of at least $5 million, an award of punitive damages in an unspecified amount, and equitable relief. Glenborough has submitted a request for indemnification to the Company, and the Company has agreed to advance Glenborough’s litigation expenses based on the Company’s obligation under the Consulting Agreement.  The Company intends to defend the action vigorously.  
 
Securities Litigation
 
On or about September 23, 2013, a civil action captioned Stephen Drews v. TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc., et al., SA-CV-13-1488-PA-DFMx, was commenced in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.  The named defendants were the Company, various of its present or former officers and directors, including Anthony W. Thompson, and several entities controlled by Mr. Thompson.  The plaintiff alleged that he invested in connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s shares (the “IPO”) and purported to represent a class consisting of all persons who invested in connection with the IPO between September 23, 2010 and February 7, 2013.  The plaintiff alleged that the Company and all of the individual defendants violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) because the offering materials used in connection with the IPO allegedly failed to disclose financial difficulties that Mr. Thompson and the entities controlled by him were experiencing.  Additional claims under the Securities Act were asserted against Mr. Thompson, the entities controlled by Mr. Thompson and the other individual defendants who were employees of Mr. Thompson.  The complaint sought a class-wide award of damages in an unspecified amount.  On October 22, 2013, the plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice.  On October 23, 2013, a virtually identical complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, asserting the same claims against the same defendants.  The only material difference was that an additional plaintiff was added.  Like the original plaintiff, the additional plaintiff alleges that he invested in connection with the IPO.  The new action is captioned Lewis Booth, et al. v. Strategic Realty Trust, Inc., et al., CV-13-4921-JST.  The Company believes that the claims brought against the Company and the individual defendants other than Mr. Thompson or employees of Mr. Thompson are without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously.
 
At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the probability or amount of loss that may arise from any of the legal proceedings summarized above.  As a result, the Company has not recorded any loss contingencies related to these legal proceedings in its financial statements as of September 30, 2013.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Proxy Contest
 
On October 29, 2013, a group of minority stockholders led by Anthony W. Thompson, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and chairman of the board and a current member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Thompson Group”) filed with the SEC a definitive Solicitation Statement to Request a Meeting of Stockholders (the “Thompson Group Solicitation”). Pursuant to the Thompson Group Solicitation, the Thompson Group has solicited written requests from the Company’s stockholders to call a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders for the purposes of (1) removing each member of the Company’s current board of directors (except for Mr. Thompson), and (2) replacing the removed directors with a slate of director nominees selected by the Thompson Group. The Company’s board of directors has determined that the solicitation from the Thompson Group is not in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders and has recommended that the Company’s stockholders disregard any solicitation materials received from the Thompson Group. Pursuant to a proxy statement to be filed with the SEC, the Company’s board of directors intends to solicit revocations of any written requests submitted by stockholders in response to the Thompson Group Solicitation.
 
Amended Articles of Incorporation
 
On October 31, 2013, in order to protect the Company’s stockholders from the Thompson Group’s unsolicited attempt to take control of the Company, the Company’s board of directors elected, in accordance with Maryland law, to be subject to all of the provisions of the Maryland Unsolicited Takeover Act (the “MUTA”). On November 4, 2013, the Company filed Articles Supplementary to the Charter with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation in order to make the election to be subject to the provisions of MUTA. The effect of the Company’s election to be subject to MUTA is as follows:
 
 
28

 
       Classified Board of Directors. The Company’s board of directors is now divided into three classes: Andrew Batinovich and Anthony W. Thompson are in Class I with a term of office expiring at the Company’s 2013 annual meeting of stockholders (which is scheduled for January 10, 2014), John B. Maier II is in Class II with a term of office expiring at the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, and Phillip I. Levin and Jeffrey S. Rogers are in Class III with a term of office expiring at the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of stockholders. Previously, all directors served one-year terms.
 
       Removal of Directors. The removal of directors will now require a two-thirds vote of the Company’s stockholders. Previously, the Charter required a majority vote for removal of directors. In addition, because the Company’s directors are classified, under Maryland law they may only be removed for cause.
 
       Stockholder-Requested Meetings. Previously, the Charter required the Company’s secretary to call a special meeting of the stockholders (a “Stockholder-Requested Meeting”) upon the request of the holders of ten percent (10%) of all the votes entitled to be cast at such special meeting. As a result of the Company’s election to be subject to all of the provisions of MUTA, a Stockholder-Requested Meeting will require the written request of the Company’s stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting.
 
For additional information regarding the Articles Supplementary, see the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 4, 2013, and the full text of the Articles Supplementary, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 thereto.
 
Amended and Restated Bylaws
 
On October 17, 2013, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, which became effective upon their adoption by the Company’s board. On October 31, 2013, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, which became effective upon their adoption by the Company’s board. The Second Amended and Restated Bylaws address a number of issues related to the director nominations and Stockholder-Requested Meetings. For additional information regarding the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, see the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 4, 2013, and the full text of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are filed as Exhibit 3.2 thereto.
 
Appointment of Chairman; Reduction in Board Size
 
On October 31, 2013, the Company’s board of directors took the following actions:
 
       Appointment of Chairman. The board of directors appointed John B. Maier, II as chairman of the board of directors. The previous chairman of the board, Mr. Anthony W. Thompson, was removed from that position in August 2013.
 
       Reduction in Size of Board. The board of directors elected to reduce the size of the board from five to four effective at the 2013 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders by eliminating the seat currently occupied by Mr. Anthony W. Thompson. 
 
Willow Run Sales Completion
 
On October 31, 2013, the Company sold the Willow Run property in Westminster, Colorado to an unaffiliated buyer for a gross sales price of $10,825,000. The Company originally acquired the Willow Run property in May 2012 for $11,550,000 and then in February2013 sold a pad for a gross sales price of $1,050,000. In accordance with the terms of the loan documents with KeyBank, all net proceeds from the sale were released from escrow to KeyBank The Company incurred a disposition fee to the Advisor of $54,000 in connection with the sale, which was paid through the closing.

ITEM  2.         MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, the notes thereto and the other unaudited financial data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on April 1, 2013, which we refer to herein as our “Form 10-K.” As used herein, the terms “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Strategic Realty Trust, Inc., formerly TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc., and, as required by context, Strategic Realty Operating Partnership, L.P., formerly TNP Strategic Retail Trust Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (which we refer to as our “OP”) and to their subsidiaries. References to “shares” and “our common stock” refer to the shares of our common stock.
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning investment objectives, other plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto) are forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees. Actual events or our investments and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.
 
The forward-looking statements included herein are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs, which involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
 
       We have a limited operating history, which makes our future performance difficult to predict.
 
       Our executive officer and certain other key real estate professionals are also officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor.  As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including conflicts created by our advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and conflicts in allocating time among us and other programs and business activities.
 
       Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other programs managed by affiliates of our advisor, our advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties and other investments and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, meaning that we could invest in less attractive assets, which could reduce the investment return to our stockholders.
 
       We pay fees to and reimburse the expenses of our advisor and its affiliates. These payments increase the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us and increase the risk of loss to our stockholders.
 
       Our initial public offering has terminated and we are uncertain of our sources for funding our future capital needs. If we cannot obtain debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, our ability to continue to acquire real properties or other real estate related assets, fund or expand our operations and resume payment of distributions to our stockholders will be adversely affected.
 
       We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from our properties could decrease due to a reduction in tenants (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases) and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to meet our financial obligations, including debt service and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
 
       Our current and future investments in real estate and other real estate related investments may be affected by unfavorable real estate market and general economic conditions, which could decrease the value of those assets and reduce the investment return to our stockholders. Revenues from our properties could decrease. Such events would make it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
 
       Disruptions in the financial markets, changes in the availability of capital, uncertain economic conditions or changes in the real estate market could adversely affect the value of our investments.
 
 
30

  
       Certain of our debt obligations have variable interest rates with interest and related payments that vary with the movement of LIBOR or other indices. Increases in the indices could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
 
       We have recently replaced our external advisor. Even if we are successful in completely transitioning to a new external advisor, such efforts could result in significant disruption to our business, which may adversely affect the value of your investment in us.
 
       Due to short-term liquidity issues and defaults under certain of our loan agreements, we have suspended our share redemption program, including redemptions upon death and disability, indefinitely.
 
       On April 1, 2013, we entered into a forbearance agreement with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) which amended certain terms of our revolving credit facility with KeyBank  and on July 31, 2013, we entered into an amendment to the forbearance agreement with KeyBank which extended the forbearance period to January 31, 2014.
 
       A group of minority stockholders led by Anthony W. Thompson, our former Chief Executive Officer and chairman of the board and a current member of our board of directors, which we refer to as the “Thompson Group,” has solicited written requests from our stockholders to call a special meeting of our stockholders for the purposes of (1) removing each member of our current board of directors (except for Mr. Thompson), and (2) replacing the removed directors with a slate of director nominees selected by the Thompson Group. Our board of directors has determined that the solicitation from the Thompson Group is not in the best interests of our company or our stockholders and has recommended that our stockholders disregard any solicitation materials received from the Thompson Group. Our board of directors intends to solicit revocations of any written requests submitted by stockholders in response to the Thompson Group solicitation. Although we intend to continue to oppose the Thompson Group’s solicitation of written requests, there can be no guarantee that the Thompson Group will not succeed in causing a special meeting of our stockholders to be called or that, if such a special meeting is called, that the stockholder votes required to remove our current board of directors and replace them with the Thompson Group’s nominees will not be obtained.
 
       Legislative or regulatory changes (including changes to the laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts, or REITs) or changes to generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, could adversely affect our operations and the value of an investment in us.
 
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any of the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements included herein could be inaccurate, and undue reliance should not be placed upon on any forward-looking statements included herein. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed herein will increase with the passage of time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the risks described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be achieved.
 
Overview
 
Strategic Realty Trust, Inc., formerly TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc., is a Maryland corporation formed on September 18, 2008 to invest in and manage a portfolio of income producing retail properties, located primarily in the Western United States, and real estate-related assets, including the investment in or origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans related to commercial real estate. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2009. We own substantially all of our assets and conduct our operations through our OP, of which we are the sole general partner.
 
On November 4, 2008, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, for our initial public offering of up to $1,000,000,000 in shares of our common stock to the public at $10.00 per share in our primary offering and up to $100,000,000 in shares of our common stock to our stockholders at $9.50 per share pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. On August 7, 2009, the SEC declared our registration statement effective and we commenced our initial public offering. On February 7, 2013, we terminated our initial public offering and ceased offering shares of our common stock in our primary offering and under our distribution reinvestment plan.
 
 
31

  
From the commencement of our initial public offering through the termination of our initial public offering on February 7, 2013, we accepted subscriptions for, and issued, 10,969,714 shares of our common stock (net of share redemptions), including 391,182 shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in aggregate gross offering proceeds of $108,357,000, net of redemptions. As of September 30, 2013, we had redeemed 160,409 shares pursuant to our share redemption program for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $1,604,000. Due to short-term liquidity issues and defaults under certain of our loan agreements, we suspended our share redemption program, including with respect to redemptions upon death and disability, effective as of January 15, 2013. For more information regarding our share redemption program, see Item 5, “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer of Equity Securities—Share Redemption Program” in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
On June 15, 2012, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to register a following-on public offering of up to $900,000,000 in shares of our common stock. However, we subsequently determined not to proceed with our contemplated follow-on public offering and on March 1, 2013 we requested that the SEC withdraw the registration statement for our contemplated follow-on public offering, effective immediately. We currently do not expect to commence a follow-on offering.
 
Effective January 15, 2013, we announced that we will no longer be making monthly distributions. For so long as we remain in default under the terms of our Credit Facility with KeyBank, we are prohibited from paying distributions to our investors. Once the KeyBank prohibitions on the payment of distributions are no longer in place,  our board of directors will periodically evaluate our ability to commence making quarterly distributions based on our other operational cash needs. Due to the KeyBank prohibitions on distributions, our board of directors has determined that quarterly distributions for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 will not be made.
 
On August 7, 2013, we allowed our existing advisory agreement with our prior advisor, TNP Strategic Retail Advisor, LLC, to expire without renewal. On August 10, 2013, we entered into a new advisory agreement, which we refer to as the “Advisory Agreement,” with SRT Advisor, LLC, which we refer to as our “advisor.” Our advisor will manage our business as our external advisor pursuant to the advisory agreement.  Our advisor is an affiliate of Glenborough, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Glenborough”), a privately held full-service real estate investment and management company focused on the acquisition, management and leasing of high quality commercial properties. Glenborough and its predecessor entities have over three decades of experience in the commercial real estate industry. Our advisor will depend on the capital from our sponsor and fees and other compensation that it receives from us in connection with the purchase, management and sale of our assets to conduct its operations.
 
In December 2012, we entered into a consulting agreement (“Consulting Agreement”) with Glenborough to assist us through the process of transitioning to a new external advisor as well as to provide other services. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, from December 2012 through April 2013, we agreed to pay Glenborough a monthly consulting fee of $75,000 and reimburse Glenborough for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Effective May 1, 2013, we amended the Consulting Agreement to expand the services to include accounting provided to us by Glenborough and increase the monthly consulting fee payable to Glenborough to $90,000. On August 10, 2013, in connection with the execution of the Advisory Agreement with our advisor, we terminated the Consulting Agreement. In connection with the execution of the Advisory Agreement, in August 2013, Glenborough rebated $150,000 of consulting fees to us.
 
Properties
 
As of September 30, 2013, our portfolio included 19 retail properties (16 real estate investments and three properties held for sale), which we refer to as “our properties” or “our portfolio,” comprising an aggregate of 1,900,249 square feet of single- and multi-tenant, commercial retail space located in 13 states. We purchased our properties for an aggregate purchase price of $232,998,000. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 there was $156,531,000 and $210,327,000 of indebtedness on our properties, respectively, including indebtedness on our held for sale properties.

Our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of those expected in future periods.
 
Revenue
 
Revenues decreased by $628,000 to $4,599,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $5,227,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to adjustments to prior period expense recovery billings to tenants that were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The occupancy rate for our property portfolio included within continuing operations was 86% as of September 30, 2013 compared to 87% as of September 30, 2012. Both rates are based on approximately 1,521,000 rentable square feet.
 
Operating and maintenance expenses
 
Operating and maintenance expenses decreased by $171,000 to $1,731,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1,902,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.  The decrease is primarily due to lower bad debt expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.
 
General and administrative expenses
 
General and administrative expenses were $706,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $993,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $287,000.  The decrease is primarily due to the August 2013 rebate to us by Glenborough, upon the signing of the advisory agreement, of $150,000 in consulting fees previously paid to Glenborough and the simultaneous elimination of all of our accounting employees and staff in August 2013.
 
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $39,000 to $2,310,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2,271,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
 
Transaction expenses
 
Transaction expenses decreased by $410,000 resulting in a credit of $4,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $406,000 in expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012. We incurred residual transaction expenses for three properties acquired during the third quarter of 2012 and had no acquisitions during the third quarter of 2013. The $4,000 credit is due to a $125,000 partial refund of a deposit, received in August 2013, in connection with a prior year acquisition that did not materialize netted with other transaction costs incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2013.
 
Interest expense
 
Interest expense decreased by $177,000 to $2,187,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2,364,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to amortization of principal.

Loss from discontinued operations
 
Loss from discontinued operations increased by $5,408,000 to $5,851,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $443,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase is primarily attributed to the discontinued operations and losses in the amount of $5,394,000 associated with the Lahaina Gateway property’s Deed In Lieu Of Foreclosure during the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The Lahaina Gateway property was purchased in November 2012 and thus is not included in the discontinued operations as of September 30, 2012. Discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 included the operating results related to Lahaina Gateway, Craig Promenade, Willow Run, and Visalia Marketplace.  Discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 included the operating results of five parcels at Morningside Marketplace and Osceola Village which were sold in 2012, as well as, the operating results related to Craig Promenade, Willow Run, Waianae Mall, and Visalia Marketplace.
 
Net loss
 
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $8,182,000 compared to a net loss of $3,152,000 for the same period in 2012. The increase in net loss of $5,030,000 is primarily attributed to an increase in the loss from discontinued operations.

Our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of those expected in future periods.
 
Revenue
 
Revenues increased by $1,749,000 to $15,776,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $14,027,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to a full nine months of operations for six properties acquired and included within continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
 
Operating and maintenance expenses
 
Operating and maintenance expenses increased by $1,318,000 to $6,041,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $4,723,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to a full nine months of operations for six properties acquired and included within continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
 
Included in operating and maintenance expenses and also contributing to the increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is bad debt expense (an increase of $392,000 due primarily to the continued aging of amounts billed to tenants in 2012 and earlier in 2013).
 
General and administrative expenses
 
General and administrative expenses were $3,689,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2,595,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $1,094,000.  The increase is primarily due to non-recurring costs related to the transition from our former advisor, the need for interim accounting staff and the transition to our new advisor on August 10, 2013.  Additional factors contributing to the increase in the nine months ended September, 30, 2013, include higher levels of legal fees and higher audit fees due to additional billings received in early 2013 related to the 2012 audit.  Advisory and accounting costs for the remainder of the year may decrease due to the former advisor’s contract expiring on August 7, 2013, the elimination of all of our accounting employees and staff in August 2013, and the execution of the advisory agreement in August 2013 which is estimated to result in lower costs.  In connection with the execution of the new advisory agreement in August 2013, Glenborough rebated $150,000 of consulting fees to us.

Depreciation and amortization expense
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $747,000 to $6,581,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $5,834,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to a full nine months of operations for six properties acquired and included within continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
 
Transaction expenses
 
Transaction expenses decreased by $3,296,000 to $38,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $3,334,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. We incurred transaction expenses for six properties included within continuing operations acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and had no acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
 
Interest expense
 
Interest expense decreased by $967,000 to $7,014,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $7,981,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a write-off of deferred financing costs in the prior year period. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included the amortization and write-off of deferred financing costs of $1,762,000. The write-off of approximately $930,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs was as a result of the refinancing of our credit agreement completed in January and June 2012.  The write-off was offset by the increased debt levels associated with the six properties included within continuing operations acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
 
Income (loss) from discontinued operations
 
Loss from discontinued operations was $3,194,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a loss of $1,195,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase of $1,999,000 is attributed to the loss from the Lahaina Gateway property’s Deed In Lieu Of Foreclosure in August 2013 which was offset by the gain on the January 2013 sale of the Waianae Mall. Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included the operating results of Craig Promenade, Willow Run, Visalia Marketplace, Lahaina Gateway and Waianae Mall. Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included the operating results of five parcels at Morningside Marketplace and Osceola Village which were sold in 2012, as well, as the operating results related to Craig Promenade, Willow Run, Visalia Marketplace and Waianae Mall.
 
Net loss
 
Net loss decreased by $854,000 to $10,781,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $11,635,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributed to a reduction in transaction and interest expense and the gain on sale of Waianae Mall offset by the loss associated with the Lahaina Gateway property’s Deed In Lieu Of Foreclosure and the increase in operating and maintenance, general and administrative and depreciation resulting from a full nine months of operations for six properties acquired and included within continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of September 30, 2013, our portfolio included 19 retail properties (16 real estate investments and three properties held for sale), with a net carrying value aggregating $197.7 million. Our principal demand for funds has been for the acquisition of real estate assets, the payment of operating expenses and interest on our outstanding indebtedness and the payment of distributions to our stockholders. On February 7, 2013, as a result of the expiration of our initial public offering, we ceased offering shares of our common stock in our primary offering and under our distribution reinvestment plan. Additionally, we filed an application on March 1, 2013 with the SEC to withdraw the registration statement on Form S-11 for our follow-on public offering that was initially filed with the SEC on June 15, 2012. As a result of the termination of our initial public offering and our withdrawal of the registration statement for our follow-on public offering, offering proceeds from the sale of our securities are not currently available to fund our cash needs. We expect our future cash needs will be funded using cash from operations, future asset sales, debt financing and the proceeds to us from any sale of equity that we conduct in the future. We also expect our investment activity will be significantly reduced until we are able to identify other sources of equity capital or other significant sources of financing. Due to the decrease in our capital resources, we suspended our share redemption program, including redemptions for death and disability, effective January 15, 2013. We intend to reevaluate our ability to resume share redemptions pursuant to our share redemption program after completing the transition to our new advisor and addressing our liquidity issues. Our ability to resume share redemptions will be determined by our board of directors based on our liquidity and cash needs, once the KeyBank forbearance is resolved.
 
At September 30, 2013, our cash and cash equivalents are $1,390,000 and our restricted cash (funds held by the lenders for property taxes, insurance, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, capital expenditures, rollover reserves and other financing needs) is $4,440,000. For properties with such lender reserves, we may draw upon such reserves to fund the specific needs for which the funds were established.

On April 1, 2013, we entered into a forbearance agreement relating to our Credit Facility with KeyBank (the “Forbearance Agreement”). On July 31, 2013, we entered into an amendment to the Forbearance Agreement with KeyBank which extended the forbearance period. On or before the expiration of the forbearance period to January 31, 2014, we currently intend to refinance a portion of the Credit Facility with KeyBank or with another lender, and pay down a portion of the balance of the Credit Facility with proceeds from disposition of certain properties securing the Credit Facility (for additional discussion see “– KeyBank Credit Facility” below).
 
As of September 30, 2013, our borrowings exceeded 300% of the value of our net assets due to the exclusion from total assets of intangible assets that were acquired with our properties. Because these intangible assets were part of the purchase price and because our overall indebtedness was less than 75% of the book value of our assets at September 30, 2013, the excess over the borrowing limitation has been approved by our independent directors. As of December 31, 2012, our borrowings exceeded 300% of the value of our net assets due to the exclusion from total assets of intangible assets that were acquired with our properties. Because these intangible assets were part of the purchase price and because our overall indebtedness was less than 75% of the book value of our assets at December 31, 2012, the excess over the borrowing limitation has been approved by our independent directors.
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $1,881,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2,486,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a reduction in cash flows used in operating activities of $605,000. The reduction in cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to lower loss from continuing operations which was partially offset by changes in operating asset and liability balances involving prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses.
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
 
Our most significant component of cash used in investing activities involves our expenditures for real estate acquisitions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $813,000 compared to $74,260,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The decrease was primarily attributed to the acquisition of six properties within continuing operations during 2012 for an aggregate cash outlay of $72,489,000. No property acquisitions were completed in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Net cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily represented net cash received on the sale of Waianae Mall in January 2013. Net cash used in investing activities from discontinued operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $24,468,000 which primarily represented the net cash outlay on the acquisition of Willow Run and Visalia Marketplace which were reclassified as held for sale in the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
 
Our cash flows from financing activities consist primarily of proceeds from our initial public offering, debt financings and distributions paid to our stockholders. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $2,321,000, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $97,531,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The primary components of net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were repayments of notes payable of $5,147,000, net with proceeds from the issuance of member interests to SRT Secured Holdings Manager, LLC, an affiliate of Glenborough in the amount of $1,929,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities primarily related to proceeds received from our initial public offering of $45,148,000 and proceeds from the issue of notes payable related to our property acquisitions and refinancing of debt during the period of $140,178,000, net of repayments on our notes payable of $74,722,000.
 
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our principal short-term demand for funds will be for the payment of operating expenses and the payment of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness. To date, our cash needs for operations have been covered from cash provided by property operations and the sale of shares of our common stock. Due to the termination of our initial public offering on February 7, 2013, we intend to fund our short-term operating cash needs from operations. Operating cash flows are expected to increase as operations in our existing portfolio stabilize and efficiencies are gained. Additionally, offering and organization costs associated with our initial public offering have been eliminated due to the termination of our initial public offering on February 7, 2013. Effective January 15, 2013, our monthly distributions have been suspended. For so long as we remain in default under the terms of our Credit Facility with KeyBank, we are prohibited from paying distributions to our investors. Once the KeyBank prohibitions on the payment of distributions are no longer in place, our board of directors will periodically evaluate our ability to commence making quarterly distributions based on our other operational cash needs. Our board of directors has determined that quarterly distributions for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 will not be made due to the KeyBank prohibition on distributions.
 
 
37

 
Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
On a long-term basis, our principal demand for funds will be for real estate and real estate-related investments and the payment of acquisition-related expenses, operating expenses, distributions to stockholders (currently suspended), future redemptions of shares (currently suspended) and interest and principal payments on current and future indebtedness. Generally, we intend to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions and acquisition-related expenses from our cash flow from operations. Until the termination of our initial public offering on February 7, 2013, our cash needs for acquisitions were satisfied from the net proceeds of the public offering and from debt financings. On a long-term basis, we expect that substantially all cash generated from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after satisfying our operating expenses including interest and principal payments. When market conditions improve, we may consider future public offerings or private placements of equity, as well as additional borrowings. See Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and “Note 7. DEBT” to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report for additional information on the maturity dates and terms of our outstanding indebtedness.
 
KeyBank Credit Facility and Forbearance Agreement
 
On December 17, 2010, we, through our subsidiary, SRT Secured Holdings, LLC, or Secured Holdings, formerly TNP SRT Secured Holdings, LLC, entered into the Credit Facility with KeyBank and certain other lenders, which we collectively refer to as the “lenders,” to establish a revolving credit facility with an initial maximum aggregate commitment of $35,000,000. The Credit Facility initially consisted of an A tranche, or “Tranche A,” with an initial aggregate commitment of $25 million, and a B tranche, or “Tranche B,” with an initial aggregate commitment of $10 million. Tranche B under the Credit Facility terminated as of June 30, 2011. The aggregate commitment under Tranche A was subsequently increased on multiple occasions to a maximum of $45 million. As of September 30, 2013, the Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of $36,455,000, including debt reclassified under liabilities held for sale.
 
Under the Credit Facility, we are required to comply with certain restrictive and financial covenants. In January 2013, we became aware of a number of events of default under the Credit Facility relating to, among other things, our failure to use the net proceeds from our sale of our shares in our public offering and the sale of our assets to repay our borrowings under the Credit Facility and our failure to satisfy certain financial covenants under the Credit Facility, which we collectively refer to as the “existing events of default.” We also failed to comply with certain financial covenants as of March 31, 2013. Due to the existing events of default, KeyBank and the other lenders became entitled to exercise all of their rights and remedies under the Credit Facility and applicable law.
 
On April 1, 2013, our OP, certain subsidiaries of our OP which are borrowers under the Credit Facility (which we collectively refer to as the “Borrowers”) and KeyBank, as lender and agent for the other lenders, entered into the Forbearance Agreement which amended the terms of the Credit Facility and provided for certain additional agreements with respect to the existing events of default. On July 31, 2013, our OP, the Borrowers and KeyBank entered into an amendment to the Forbearance Agreement which extended the forbearance period under the Forbearance Agreement.  Pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, as amended, KeyBank and the other lenders agreed to forbear the exercise of their rights and remedies with respect to the existing events of default until the earliest to occur of (1) January 31, 2014, (2) our default under or breach of any of the representations or covenants under the Forbearance Agreement or (3) the date any additional events of defaults (other than the existing events of default) under the Credit Facility occur or become known to KeyBank or any other lender, which we refer to as the “forbearance expiration date.” Upon the forbearance expiration date, all forbearances, deferrals and indulgences granted by the lenders pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, as amended, will automatically terminate and the lenders will be entitled to enforce, without further notice of any kind, any and all rights and remedies available to them as creditors at law, in equity, or pursuant to the Credit Facility or any other agreement as a result of the existing events of default or any additional events of default which occur or come to light following the date of the Forbearance Agreement, as amended.
 
The Forbearance Agreement, as amended, converted the entire outstanding principal balance under the Credit Facility, and all interest and other amounts payable under the Credit Facility, which we refer to as the “outstanding loan,” into a term loan which is due and payable in full on January 31, 2014. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, as amended, we, our OP and every other Borrower under the Credit Facility must apply 100% of the net proceeds from, among other things, (1) the sale of our shares in our completed public offering or any other sale of securities by us, our OP or any other Borrower, (2) the sale or refinancing of any of our properties or other assets, and (3) the collection of insurance or condemnation proceeds due to any damage or destruction of our properties or any condemnation for public use of any of our properties, to the repayment of the outstanding loan. The Forbearance Agreement, as amended, provides that all commitments under the Credit Facility will terminate of January 31, 2014 and that, effective as of the date of the Forbearance Agreement, as amended, the lenders have no further obligation whatsoever to advance any additional loans or amounts under the Credit Facility. The Forbearance Agreement, as amended, also provides that neither we, our OP or any other borrower under the Credit Facility may, without KeyBank’s prior written consent, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to any indebtedness other than the existing indebtedness specified in the Forbearance Agreement, as amended, and any refinancing of such existing indebtedness which do not materially modify the terms of such existing indebtedness in a manner adverse to us or the lenders.
 
 
38

   
Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement we, our OP and all of the Borrowers under the Credit Facility have jointly and severally agreed to pay to KeyBank (1) any and all out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including legal fees and disbursements) incurred or sustained by the lenders in connection with the preparation of the Forbearance Agreement and all related matters and (2) from time to time after the occurrence of any default under the Forbearance Agreement any out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including legal fees and consulting and other similar professional fees and expenses) incurred by the lenders in connection with the preservation of or enforcement of any rights of the lenders under the Forbearance Agreement and the Credit Facility. In connection with the execution of the Forbearance Agreement, we agreed to pay a market rate loan extension fee to KeyBank. In connection with the amendment of the Forbearance Agreement, we agreed to pay KeyBank a market rate loan extension fee.
 
Under the Credit Facility, we are not permitted to make, without the lender’s consent, certain restricted payments (as defined in the Credit Facility) which includes the payment of distributions that are not required to maintain our REIT status.
 
Contractual Commitments and Contingencies
 
As of September 30, 2013, there have been no material changes in our enforceable and legally binding obligations, contractual obligations, and commitments from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
 
Interim Financial Information
 
The financial information as of and for the period ended September 30, 2013 included in this quarterly report is unaudited, but includes all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; and such results may be less favorable. Our accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
Limitation on Total Operating Expenses
 
We reimburse our advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by our advisor in connection with the services provided to us, except that we will not reimburse our advisor for any amount by which our total operating expenses at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceed the greater of (1) 2% of our average invested assets, as defined in our charter, and (2) 25% of our net income, as defined in our charter, or the “2/25 Limit,” unless a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2013, our total operating expenses did not exceed the 2/25 Limit.
 
Inflation
 
The majority of our leases at our properties contain inflation protection provisions applicable to reimbursement billings for common area maintenance charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot basis, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain per square foot allowance. We expect to include similar provisions in our future tenant leases designed to protect us from the impact of inflation. Due to the generally long-term nature of these leases, annual rent increases, as well as rents received from acquired leases, may not be sufficient to cover inflation and rent may be below market rates.
 
REIT Compliance
 
To qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. We must also meet certain asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. We will monitor the business and transactions that may potentially impact our REIT status. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which our REIT qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders. As of September 30, 2013, we believe we are in compliance with the REIT qualification requirements.
 
Distributions
 
In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to our stockholders.  Prior to the termination of our initial public offering on February 7, 2013, we funded all of our cash distributions from proceeds from our initial public offering of common stock. Following the termination of our initial public offering, we may not be able to pay distributions from our cash from operations, in which case distributions may be paid in part from debt financing or from other sources.

Effective January 15, 2013, we announced that we will no longer be making monthly distributions. For so long as we remain in default under the terms of the Credit Facility, KeyBank prohibits the payment of distributions to our stockholders. Once the prohibitions on distributions imposed by the Credit Facility are no longer in place, our board of directors will periodically evaluate our ability to make quarterly distributions based on our other operational cash needs. Due to the KeyBank prohibitions on distributions, our board of directors has determined that quarterly distributions for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 will not be made.
 
The following table sets forth the distributions declared and paid to our common stockholders and holders of common units in our OP for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively:

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
 
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations, or FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a real estate investment trust, or REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
 
We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004, or the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property but including asset impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.
 
The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or as requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. However, FFO, and MFFO as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP FFO and MFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses for all industries as items that are expensed under GAAP, that are typically accounted for as operating expenses. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that public, non-listed REITs, like us, are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after acquisition activity ceases. Our board of directors will determine to pursue a liquidity event when it believes that the then-current market conditions are favorable. However, our board of directors does not anticipate evaluating a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our common stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale of our company or another similar transaction) until 2015. Thus, as a limited life REIT we will not continuously purchase assets and will have a limited life.
 
Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Investment Program Association, or IPA, an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a public, non-listed REIT having the characteristics described above. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring our properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering has been completed and our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisitions are completed with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. Investors are cautioned that MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.
 
We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; nonrecurring impairments of real estate-related investments (i.e., infrequent or unusual, not reasonably likely to recur in the ordinary course of business); mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, nonrecurring unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized. While we rely on our advisor for managing interest rate, hedge and foreign exchange risk, we do not retain an outside consultant to review all our hedging agreements. Inasmuch as interest rate hedges are not a fundamental part of our operations, we believe it is appropriate to exclude such non-recurring gains and losses in calculating MFFO, as such gains and losses are not reflective of on-going operations.

Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition related expenses, amortization of above and below market leases, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments, deferred rent receivables and the adjustments of such items related to non-controlling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by us. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. In the event that proceeds from our initial public offering are not available to fund our reimbursement of acquisition fees and expenses incurred by our advisor, such fees and expenses will need to be reimbursed to our advisor from other sources, including debt, operational earnings or cash flow, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or from ancillary cash flows. The acquisition of properties, and the corresponding acquisition fees and expenses, is the key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flow to fund distributions to our stockholders. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities. In addition, we view fair value adjustments of derivatives, impairment charges and gains and losses from dispositions of assets as non-recurring items or items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized, and which are not reflective of on-going operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. In particular, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions which can change over time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indications exist and if the carrying, or book value, exceeds the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows (including net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and any other ancillary cash flows at a property or group level under GAAP) from such asset. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted future cash flows from a property, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows, are taken into account in determining whether an impairment charge has been incurred. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of MFFO as described above, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges.
 
Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate MFFO in order to evaluate our performance against other public, non-listed REITs which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that our use of MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate MFFO allow us to present our performance in a manner that reflects certain characteristics that are unique to public, non-listed REITs, such as their limited life, limited and defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and hence that the use of such measures is useful to investors. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.
 
Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance to that of other public, non-listed REITs, although it should be noted that not all public, non-listed REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other public, non-listed REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. MFFO has limitations as a performance measure where the price of a share of common stock during the offering stage was a stated value and there was no regular net asset value determinations during the offering stage and for a period thereafter. MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining MFFO.

We also present MFFO, calculated as discussed above, adjusted for the non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs and non-recurring non-cash allocations of organizational costs, or adjusted MFFO. We opted to use substantial short-term and medium-term borrowings to acquire properties in advance of raising equity proceeds under our initial public offering in order to more quickly build a larger and more diversified portfolio. Noncash interest expense represents amortization of financing costs paid to secure short-term and medium-term borrowings. GAAP requires these items to be recognized over the remaining term of the respective debt instrument, which may not correlate with the ongoing operations of our real estate portfolio. Management believes that the measure resulting from an adjustment to MFFO for noncash interest expense, provides supplemental information that allows for better comparability of reporting periods. We also believe that adjusted MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisition stages are completed with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in significant acquisition and short-term borrowing activities. Like FFO and MFFO, adjusted MFFO is not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Further, adjusted MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance.
 
Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO, MFFO or Adjusted MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and in response to such standardization we may have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO, MFFO or Adjusted MFFO accordingly.

(1)
Our calculation of MFFO does not adjust for certain other non-recurring charges that do not fall within the IPA’s Practice Guideline definition of MFFO.
     
(2)
Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

(3)
In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition and certain disposition costs related to abandoned real estate sales, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our advisor or third parties. Acquisition and disposition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition and disposition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by the company, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property. In the event that future acquisitions are made and proceeds are not available from our initial public offering to fund our reimbursement of acquisition fees and expenses incurred by our advisor, such fees and expenses will need to be reimbursed to our advisor from other sources, including debt, operational earnings or cash flow, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or from ancillary cash flows. The acquisition of properties, and the corresponding acquisition fees and expenses, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flow to fund distributions to our stockholders.
 
(4)
Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at fair value and reviewed at least annually for impairment. Certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and are amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.
     
(5)
Relates to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs as a result of refinancing and incremental interest due to early extinguishment of debt.
     
(6)
We made an additional adjustment for the non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs as we believe it will provide useful information about our operations excluding non-cash expenses.
     
(7)
Adjustment for the non-recurring late payment charges and default interest paid to cure the events of default under the Lahaina Loan and adjustment for forbearance fees paid.
     
(8)
Net loss per share relates to both common stockholders and non-controlling interests.
 
Related Party Transactions and Agreements
 
We had agreements with our former advisor and its affiliates whereby we agreed to pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, our former advisor or its affiliates for acquisition fees and expenses, organization and offering costs, asset and property management fees and reimbursement of operating costs. Refer to “Note 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS” to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the various related party transactions, agreements and fees.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, apart from a ground lease at the Lahaina Gateway property, which we disposed of pursuant to a deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure transaction on August 1, 2013, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial conditions, changes in financial conditions, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. The Lahaina Gateway property was encumbered by a ground lease which was assigned to us in connection with the acquisition of the property on November 9, 2012. The original lease term was for a period of 55 years, commencing on February 2, 2005 with an expiration date of February 1, 2060. The current annual base rent was $1,187,000, payable in monthly installments of approximately $99,000 through February 1, 2015.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies during 2013.

Subsequent Events
 
Proxy Contest
 
On October 29, 2013, a group of minority stockholders led by Anthony W. Thompson, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and chairman of the board and a current member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Thompson Group”) filed with the SEC a definitive Solicitation Statement to Request a Meeting of Stockholders (the “Thompson Group Solicitation”). Pursuant to the Thompson Group Solicitation, the Thompson Group has solicited written requests from the Company’s stockholders to call a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders for the purposes of (1) removing each member of the Company’s current board of directors (except for Mr. Thompson), and (2) replacing the removed directors with a slate of director nominees selected by the Thompson Group. The Company’s board of directors has determined that the solicitation from the Thompson Group is not in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders and has recommended that the Company’s stockholders disregard any solicitation materials received from the Thompson Group. Pursuant to a proxy statement to be filed with the SEC, the Company’s board of directors intends to solicit revocations of any written requests submitted by stockholders in response to the Thompson Group Solicitation.
 
Amended Articles of Incorporation
 
On October 31, 2013, in order to protect the Company’s stockholders from the Thompson Group’s unsolicited attempt to take control of the Company, the Company’s board of directors elected, in accordance with Maryland law, to be subject to all of the provisions of the Maryland Unsolicited Takeover Act (the “MUTA”). On November 4, 2013, the Company filed Articles Supplementary to the Charter with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation in order to make the election to be subject to the provisions of MUTA. The effect of the Company’s election to be subject to MUTA is as follows:
 
       Classified Board of Directors. The Company’s board of directors is now divided into three classes: Andrew Batinovich and Anthony W. Thompson are in Class I with a term of office expiring at the Company’s 2013 annual meeting of stockholders (which is scheduled for January 10, 2014), John B. Maier II is in Class II with a term of office expiring at the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, and Phillip I. Levin and Jeffrey S. Rogers are in Class III with a term of office expiring at the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of stockholders. Previously, all directors served one-year terms.
 
       Removal of Directors. The removal of directors will now require a two-thirds vote of the Company’s stockholders. Previously, the Charter required a majority vote for removal of directors. In addition, because the Company’s directors are classified, under Maryland law they may only be removed for cause.
 
       Stockholder-Requested Meetings. Previously, the Charter required the Company’s secretary to call a special meeting of the stockholders (a “Stockholder-Requested Meeting”) upon the request of the holders of ten percent (10%) of all the votes entitled to be cast at such special meeting. As a result of the Company’s election to be subject to all of the provisions of MUTA, a Stockholder-Requested Meeting will require the written request of the Company’s stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting.
 
For additional information regarding the Articles Supplementary, see the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 4, 2013, and the full text of the Articles Supplementary, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 thereto.
 
Amended and Restated Bylaws
 
On October 17, 2013, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, which became effective upon their adoption by the Company’s board. On October 31, 2013, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, which became effective upon their adoption by the Company’s board. The Second Amended and Restated Bylaws address a number of issues related to the director nominations and Stockholder-Requested Meetings. For additional information regarding the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, see the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 4, 2013, and the full text of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are filed as Exhibit 3.2 thereto.

Appointment of Chairman; Reduction in Board Size 
 
On October 31, 2013, the Company’s board of directors took the following actions:
 
       Appointment of Chairman. The board of director appointed John B. Maier, II as chairman of the board of directors. The previous chairman of the board, Mr. Anthony W. Thompson, was removed from that position in August 2013.
 
       Reduction in Size of Board. The board of directors elected to reduce the size of the board from five to four effective at the 2013 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders by eliminating the seat currently occupied by Mr. Anthony W. Thompson.
 
Willow Run Sales Completion
 
On October 31, 2013, the Company sold the Willow Run property in Westminster, Colorado to an unaffiliated buyer for a gross sales price of $10,825,000. The Company originally acquired the Willow Run property in May 2012 for $11,550,000 and then in February 2013 sold a pad for a gross sales price of $1,050,000. In accordance with the terms of the loan documents with KeyBank, all net proceeds from the sale were released from escrow to KeyBank The Company incurred a disposition fee to the Advisor of $54,000 in connection with the sale, which was paid through the closing.
 
ITEM  3.         QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Market fluctuations in real estate financing may affect the availability and cost of funds needed to expand our investment portfolio. In addition, restrictions upon the availability of real estate financing or high interest rates for real estate loans could adversely affect our ability to dispose of real estate in the future. We will seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess our interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions. While this hedging strategy will be designed to minimize the impact on our net income and funds from operations from changes in interest rates, the overall returns on your investment may be reduced. At September 30, 2013, we did not hold any positions in derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets.
 
We borrow funds and make investments at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future cash flows on our fixed rate debt unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. At September 30, 2013, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $121,188,000 and the carrying value of our fixed rate debt was $120,575,000. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt was estimated using present value techniques utilizing contractual cash outflows and observable interest rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated at September 30, 2013. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.
 
At September 30, 2013, the fair value and carrying value of our variable rate debt, including debt reclassified under liabilities held for sale, was $36,455,000. Movements in interest rates on our variable rate debt would change our cash flows, but would not significantly affect the fair value of our debt. At September 30, 2013, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $36,455,000 of variable rate debt outstanding. Our variable rate debt outstanding bears interest at the lesser of (1) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (Index) as defined in the Credit Facility plus 3.50% per annum, or (2) the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law. The Index is further subject to a floor rate of 2.00%, resulting in a fully indexed floor rate of 5.50%. We estimate that a hypothetical increase or decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would have no impact on future earnings as the floor rate would continue to be in effect. The one month LIBOR rate was 0.18% at September 30, 2013.
 
The weighted-average interest rates of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt at September 30, 2013 were 6.13% and 5.50%, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect at September 30, 2013 (consisting of the contractual interest rate).

ITEM 4.         CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
In assessing our internal control over financial reporting, our management considered that we amended our Consulting Agreement with Glenborough to expand the services provided to us by Glenborough to include, effective May 1, 2013, the provision of accounting services, to include all accounts receivable functions, including property rent and expense recovery billings and all property accounts payable and effective June 1, 2013, to further expand the services provided to us by Glenborough so that Glenborough assumed full responsibility for all of our accounting services.  On August 10, 2013, in connection with the execution of the Advisory Agreement with SRT Advisor, LLC, an affiliate of Glenborough, we terminated the Consulting Agreement and SRT Advisor, LLC assumed full responsibility for all of our accounting services.
 
Based on its assessment, our management concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART  II.       OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We are currently a party to the following material pending legal proceedings:
 
Litigation Concerning Change in Transfer Agents
 
On or about August 12, 2013, the Company commenced a civil action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Mr. Anthony W. Thompson, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and TNP Transfer Agent, LLC (the “Prior Transfer Agent”). The Company alleged that it had replaced the Prior Transfer Agent with a new transfer agent, but Mr. Thompson was causing the Prior Transfer Agent to refuse to transfer the stockholder information belonging to the Company to the new transfer agent.  The Company sought affirmative injunctive relief compelling the defendants to transfer all stockholder information belonging to the Company to the new transfer agent.  On September 6, 2013, the Court granted the Company’s motion to expedite the proceeding due to the threat of irreparable harm to the Company and its stockholders.  A final hearing on the merits is now scheduled for November 26, 2013.  Subsequent to the Court’s ruling granting the motion to expedite, the defendants provided some of the requested information.  To date, however, the defendants still have not provided all of the requested information.  The Company believes it has a strong case on the merits and intends to seek full compliance by the defendants.
 
Litigation Concerning Termination of Property Management Agreements
 
On or about September 9, 2013, TNP Property Manager, LLC (“TNP Property Manager”), the Company’s former property manager, commenced a civil action in the Superior Court of the State of California for Orange County against Glenborough and the Company.  The Company was not served until October 15, 2013.  The complaint relates to the recently announced termination by the Company of the property management agreements between TNP Property Manager and the subsidiaries of the Company that own the various real estate projects in the Company’s portfolio and the selection of Glenborough to act as the Company’s new property manager.  TNP Property Manager alleges that there was no valid basis for the Company to terminate the prior property management agreements and that the Company is now in breach of the agreements.  In addition, the TNP Property Manager accuses Glenborough of “intentional interference with economic relationship.”  From the Company, TNP Property Manager seeks an award of compensatory damages in the amount of at least $5 million.  From Glenborough, TNP Property Manager seeks an award of compensatory damages in the amount of at least $5 million, an award of punitive damages in an unspecified amount, and equitable relief. Glenborough has submitted a request for indemnification to the Company, and the Company has agreed to advance Glenborough’s litigation expenses based on the Company’s obligation under the Consulting Agreement.  The Company intends to defend the action vigorously.  
 
Securities Litigation
 
On or about September 23, 2013, a civil action captioned Stephen Drews v. TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc., et al., SA-CV-13-1488-PA-DFMx, was commenced in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.  The named defendants were the Company, various of its present or former officers and directors, including Anthony W. Thompson, and several entities controlled by Mr. Thompson.  The plaintiff alleged that he invested in connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s shares (the “IPO”) and purported to represent a class consisting of all persons who invested in connection with the IPO between September 23, 2010 and February 7, 2013.  The plaintiff alleged that the Company and all of the individual defendants violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) because the offering materials used in connection with the IPO allegedly failed to disclose financial difficulties that Mr. Thompson and the entities controlled by him were experiencing.  Additional claims under the Securities Act were asserted against Mr. Thompson, the entities controlled by Mr. Thompson and the other individual defendants who were employees of Mr. Thompson.  The complaint sought a class-wide award of damages in an unspecified amount.  On October 22, 2013, the plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice.  On October 23, 2013, a virtually identical complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, asserting the same claims against the same defendants.  The only material difference was that an additional plaintiff was added.  Like the original plaintiff, the additional plaintiff alleges that he invested in connection with the IPO.  The new action is captioned Lewis Booth, et al. v. Strategic Realty Trust, Inc., et al., CV-13-4921-JST.  The Company believes that the claims brought against the Company and the individual defendants other than Mr. Thompson or employees of Mr. Thompson are without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously.

ITEM 1A.      RISK FACTORS
 
The following risk factor supplements the risk factors set forth in “Part I, Item 1A” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
Proxy contests threatened or commenced against our company could be disruptive and costly and the possibility that activist shareholders may wage proxy contests or gain representation on or control of our board of directors could cause uncertainty about the strategic direction of our company.
 
On October 29, 2013, a group of minority stockholders led by Anthony W. Thompson, our former Chief Executive Officer and chairman of the board and a current member of our board of directors, which we refer to as the “Thompson Group,” filed with the SEC a definitive Solicitation Statement to Request a Meeting of Stockholders, which we refer to as the “Thompson Group Solicitation.” Pursuant to the Thompson Group Solicitation, the Thompson Group has solicited written requests from our stockholders to call a special meeting of our stockholders for the purposes of (1) removing each member of our current board of directors (except for Mr. Thompson), and (2) replacing the removed directors with a slate of director nominees selected by the Thompson Group. Our board of directors has determined that the solicitation from the Thompson Group is not in the best interests of our company or our stockholders and has recommended that our stockholders disregard any solicitation materials received from the Thompson Group. Pursuant to a proxy statement to be filed with the SEC, our board of directors intends to solicit revocations of any written requests submitted by stockholders in response to the Thompson Group Solicitation.
 
Although we intend to continue to vigorously oppose the Thompson Group’s solicitation of written requests, there can be no guarantee that the Thompson Group will not succeed in causing a special meeting of our stockholders to be called, or that, if such a special meeting is called, that the stockholder votes required to remove our current board of directors and replace them with the Thompson Group’s nominees will not be obtained.  Responding to proxy contests and other actions by activist stockholders such as the Thompson Group can be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our operations and divert the attention of our management and employees away from their regular duties. If the Thompson Group continues to pursue actions to elect directors other than those recommended by our board of directors, or other actions that contest or conflict with our company’s strategic direction, such actions could have an adverse effect on our company and the value of an investment in our shares.
 
ITEM 2.         UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
 
During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.
 
We have adopted a share redemption program that may provide limited liquidity to our stockholders. Our share redemption program was suspended effective January 15, 2013. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, there were no shares redeemed pursuant to our share redemption program.
