NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2012

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on September 18, 2008 as a Maryland corporation. 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 (the “Sponsor”) on October 16, 2008. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

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 shares of its common stock to the public in its primary offering and 10,526,316 shares of its common stock 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. The Company is offering shares to the public in its primary offering at a price of $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain purchasers, and to its stockholders pursuant to the DRIP at a price of $9.50 per share.

On June 15, 2012, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-11 to register up to $900,000,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock in a follow-on public offering. The Company will offer shares in the Offering until the earlier of the date the SEC declares effective the registration statement for the follow-on offering and February 4, 2013.

The Company is externally advised by TNP Strategic Retail Advisor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Advisor”). Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, Advisor is responsible for managing the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on behalf of the Company.

Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through TNP Strategic Retail Trust Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”). The initial limited partners of the OP were Advisor and TNP Strategic Retail OP Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”). Advisor has invested $1,000 in the OP in exchange for common units of the OP (“Common Units”) and Holdings has invested $1,000 in the OP and has been issued a separate class of limited partnership units (the “Special Units”). As the Company accepts subscriptions for shares of its common stock, it transfers substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering to the OP as a capital contribution. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company owned 96.03% and 95.4%, respectively, of the limited partnership interest in the OP. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Advisor owned 0.01% and 0.02%, respectively, of the limited partnership interest in the OP. Holdings owned 100% of the outstanding Special Units as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

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 $2,587,249, 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 $1,371,079, or $9.50 per Common Unit.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to invest 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. In addition to investments in real estate directly or through joint ventures, the Company may also acquire or originate first mortgages or second mortgages, mezzanine loans or other real estate-related loans, in each case provided that the underlying real estate meets the Company’s criteria for direct investment. The Company may also invest in any other real property or other real estate-related assets that, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, meets the Company’s investment objectives.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s portfolio comprised of 20 properties with 2,074,980 rentable square feet of retail space located in 14 states. As of June 30, 2012, the rentable space at the Company’s retail properties was 87% leased.

From commencement of the Offering through June 30, 2012, the Company had accepted investors’ subscriptions for, and issued, 10,430,623 shares, net of share redemptions, of the Company’s common stock, including 214,355 shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $103,245,000.

The OP limited partnership agreement provides that the OP will be operated in a manner that will enable the Company to (1) satisfy the requirements for being classified as a REIT for tax purposes, (2) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability and (3) ensure that the OP will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code, which classification could result in the OP being taxed as a corporation, rather than as a partnership. In addition to the administrative and operating costs and expenses incurred by the OP in acquiring and operating real properties, the OP will pay all of the Company’s administrative costs and expenses, and such expenses will be treated as expenses of the OP.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the OP, and their direct and indirect wholly 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. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

The Company evaluates the need to consolidate joint ventures and variable interest entities based on standards set forth in FASB 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 June 30, 2012, the Company did not have any joint ventures or variable interests in any variable interest entities.

Certain amounts in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. Assets sold or held-for-sale and associated liabilities 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.

Non-Controlling Interests

The Company’s non-controlling interests comprise primarily of the Common Units in the OP. 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 consolidated financial statements, but separate from the parent’s stockholders’ equity. Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests as adjusted for distributions in excess of earnings 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 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 consolidated statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which amends various sections of ASC 820 and changes the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in order to improve consistency in the application and description of fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 clarifies how the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets and are not relevant when measuring the fair value of financial assets or of liabilities. In addition, the guidance expanded the disclosures for the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring quantitative information to be disclosed related to (1) the valuation processes used, (2) the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, and (3) use of a nonfinancial asset in a way that differs from the asset’s highest and best use. The revised guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and early application by public entities is prohibited. ASU 2011-04 is to be applied prospectively. The Company’s adoption of this ASU for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2012, as required, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (ASC Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU No. 2011-11 creates new disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The changes to the ASC as a result of this update are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 (January 1, 2013 for the Company) and must be shown retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. This guidance requires new disclosures only and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance ASU No. 2011-10, Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate — a Scope Clarification, which amends ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”). ASU No. 2011-10 states that when an investor ceases to have a controlling financial interest in an entity that is in-substance real estate as a result of a default on the entity’s nonrecourse debt, the investor should apply the guidance under ASC Subtopic 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment — Real Estate Sales, to determine whether to derecognize the entity’s assets (including real estate) and liabilities (including the nonrecourse debt). The changes to the ASC as a result of this update are effective prospectively for deconsolidation events occurring during fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012 (January 1, 2013 for the Company). Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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:

 

   

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 term.

For leases with minimum scheduled rent increases, the Company recognized 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. 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.

Table of Contents

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 accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets, was $956,000 and $618,000 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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.

Investments in Real Estate and Mortgage Notes Receivable

Real Estate

Real property is recorded 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 acquisition expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Depreciation and amortization is computed using the 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.

Mortgage Notes Receivable

Mortgage notes receivable are recorded at amortized cost, net of loan loss reserves (if any), and evaluated for impairment at each reporting period. There was no mortgage notes receivable outstanding at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company invested in three mortgage notes for an aggregate purchase price of $18.0 million and recorded $133,000 of interest income related to these mortgage notes. In October 2011, the Company foreclosed on the collateral retail property securing the mortgage notes, commonly known as Constitution Trail Shopping Center located in Normal, Illinois (“Constitution Trail”) with a then fair value of $27.8 million, which was in excess of the then carrying value of the mortgage notes.

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. The balance of the purchase price is allocated to 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, are classified as an asset 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 are 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 six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company acquired nine properties (Note 3) for an aggregate purchase price of $103.4 million. The Company recorded these acquisitions as business combinations and incurred direct acquisition expense of $3,037,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, including acquisition fees to Advisor of approximately $2,595,000 (Note 11).

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company acquired two properties: Craig Promenade (“Craig Promenade”) and Pinehurst for an aggregate purchase price of $27.8 million. The Company recorded these acquisitions as business combinations and incurred direct acquisition expense of $1,452,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. During the same period, the Company also acquired three distressed mortgage notes secured by Constitution Trial for an aggregate purchase price of $18.0 million.

Costs incurred in pursuit of targeted properties for acquisitions not yet closed or those determined to no longer be viable have been expensed and are included in acquisition expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

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 and gains or losses recorded on future sales of properties.

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 sales capitalization rates. The Company did not record any impairment loss on its investments in real estate and related intangible assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Table of Contents

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.

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.

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.

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.

Capital Raising Issuance Costs

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of common shares of the Company and Common Units of the OP are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Debt issuance costs are deferred, included in deferred financing costs and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt utilizing the straight-line method which approximates the interest method.

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.

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


Table of Contents

When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from independent third-party sources to determine fair value and classifies 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 make a significant adjustment 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 a financial instrument owned by the Company 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 (1) 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 (2) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach.

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.

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.

Table of Contents

The Company’s tax returns remain subject to examination and consequently, the taxability of the distributions is subject to change.

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’s chief operating decision maker evaluates operating performance on an overall portfolio level.

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 June 30, 2012, Publix is the Company’s largest tenant and accounted for approximately 99,979 square feet, or approximately 5% of the Company’s gross leasable area, and approximately $1,050,000, or 6% of the Company’s annual minimum rent. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had no outstanding receivables from this tenant. No other tenant accounted for over 5% of the Company’s annual minimum rent. At June 30, 2012, one tenant accounted for 15% of the Company’s accounts receivable (excluding straight-line rent receivable).

The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of June 30, 2012, the leases at the Company’s properties have remaining terms (excluding options to extend) of up to 14 years with a weighted-average remaining term (excluding options to extend) of 9 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 consolidated balance sheets and totaled $607,000 and $371,000 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

4. DISPOSITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company reports as discontinued operations, properties held-for-sale and operating properties sold in the current period. The results of these discontinued operations are included in a separate component of income on the consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Discontinued operations.”

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company sold portions of the Morningside Marketplace property, which was acquired in January 2012, for approximately $4,098,000 and $5,298,000. No gains or losses were recognized in connection with these dispositions. The operating results related to these properties were reported as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. Since these properties were acquired in January 2012, the reporting of their operating results in discontinued operations did not have any impact on the comparable prior year periods.

The Company’s discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 include the operating results of portions of the Company’s properties at Craig Promenade and San Jacinto Esplanade that were sold in the latter half of 2011 for an aggregate sale price of $4.4 million.

Other Intangible

In connection with the acquisition of Constitution Trail in October 2011, the Company was assigned the rights under a development agreement dated April 2006 entered into by the original property developer and the Town of Normal, pursuant to which the developer shall receive reimbursements of $2.0 million plus 6.5% simple interest per annum in exchange for certain public improvements that were constructed by the developer that subsequently became the property of the Town of Normal. The reimbursements will be determined by the Town of Normal based on one half of the sales tax receipts remitted, and will be paid to the Company at least twice a year. The agreement terminates on the earlier of August 1, 2021 and when the $2.0 million plus accrued interest is fully paid. The Company estimated the fair value of the assigned development agreement on the acquisition date at $1.0 million based on the remaining term of the agreement and the amount paid through the acquisition date. The recorded intangible is being amortized to reduce income on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the agreement, which amounted to $51,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Based on the payment received from the Town of Normal in March 2012 related to 2011 of $83,000, the Company accrued approximately $43,000 of sales tax receipts income for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

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 will 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.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had reimbursed Advisor approximately $298,000 in excess of the 3.0% limit as a result of certain expenses being reclassified as organization and offering expense. The reimbursement with respect to the December 31, 2011 excess amount was subsequently approved by the Company’s board of directors. There were no excess reimbursements to Advisor at June 30, 2012.

Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees

The Dealer Manager receives a selling commission of 7.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in the primary offering. The Dealer Manager also receives 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. Both selling commissions and dealer manager fees are recorded by the Company as an offset to additional paid-in capital when incurred.

Reimbursement of Operating Expenses

The Company reimburses Advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse 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 may reimburse Advisor for expenses in excess of the 2%/25% guideline if a majority of the independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, the Company’s total operating expenses (as defined in the Charter) did not exceed the 2%/25% guideline.

The Company reimburses Advisor for the cost of administrative services, including personnel costs and its allocable share of other overhead of Advisor such as rent and utilities; provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be made for costs of such personnel to the extent that personnel are used in transactions for which Advisor receives a separate fee or with respect to an officer of the Company.

13. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant judgment by management. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and for which markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments for which markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The Company believes the total 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:

 

At June 30, 2012

   Carrying Value (1)      Fair Value (2)  

Notes Payable

   $ 184,638,000       $ 184,368,000   

At December 31, 2011

   Carrying Value (1)      Fair Value (2)  

Notes Payable

   $ 112,639,000       $ 112,395,000   

 

(1) The carrying value of the Company’s notes payable represents outstanding principal as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
(2) The estimated fair value of the notes payable is based upon indicative market prices of the Company’s notes payable based on prevailing market interest rates.

In March 2011, June 2011 and September 2011, the Company entered into three interest rate cap agreements with KeyBank in the notional amounts of $16.0 million, $10.0 million and $4.0 million and interest rate caps of 7%, effective on April 4, 2011, June 15, 2011, and September 30, 2011, respectively. None of these interest rate cap agreements was designated as a hedge and the $16.0 million and $10.0 million agreements have termination dates of April 4, 2012 and the $4.0 million agreement has a termination date of October 18, 2012. The fair value of the interest rate cap agreements as of June 30, 2012 is de minimus.

14. 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 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 $3,200,000.00. 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 June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company determined that it does not have any liability under the Profit Participation Payment.

Table of Contents

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.

Constitution Trail Contingency

In connection with the Constitution Trail financing, TNP SRT Constitution Trail, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the OP (“TNP SRT Constitution Trail”), TNP SRT Constitution Trail Master Lessee, LLC (the “Starplex Master Lessee”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the OP, and the Sponsor, 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.

Economic Dependency

The Company is dependent on Advisor and Dealer Manager and its affiliates for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the sale of the Company’s shares of common and preferred stock available for issue; 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 these companies are unable to provide the respective services, 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

From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

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 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 30, 2012, which we refer to herein as our “Form 10-K.” As used herein, the terms “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc. and, as required by context, TNP Strategic Retail Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as our “operating partnership,” 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. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

 

   

We have a limited operating history, which makes our future performance difficult to predict.

Table of Contents
   

We are dependent on TNP Strategic Retail Advisor, LLC, our advisor, to manage our operations. We are also dependent on TNP Securities, LLC, our dealer manager and affiliate of our sponsor, to conduct our public offering. Our advisor and dealer manager depend on the capital from Thompson National Properties, LLC, our sponsor, and fees and other compensation that they receive from us in connection with our public offering and the purchase, management and sale of assets to conduct their operations. Our sponsor has a limited operating history and, since inception, has operated at a significant net loss. Our sponsor also has substantial secured and unsecured debt obligations coming due over the next two years. To the extent that our sponsor is unable to negotiate a modification to its debt obligations or our sponsor’s financial condition does not improve or deteriorates, it may adversely impact our advisor’s and our dealer manager’s ability to perform their duties to us or could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise proceeds in our public offering and our operations and could cause the value of your investment to decrease. Moreover, such adverse conditions could require a substantial amount of time on the part of our advisor and its affiliates, thereby decreasing the amount of time they spend actively managing our investments. Any adverse changes in the financial condition of our advisor, our dealer manager, or our sponsor or our relationship with any of them could hinder our advisor’s ability to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of investments and our dealer manager’s ability to raise proceeds in our public offering.

 

   

We may be forced to find another advisor, property manager, or dealer manager, or become self-managed, if the financial health of our sponsor does not improve significantly.

 

   

If we are unable to raise substantial proceeds in our initial public offering, we may not be able to build a portfolio of investments that can sustain our operations and our ability to pay distributions would be adversely affected.

 

   

All of our executive officers, some of our directors and 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, the entity that acts as our dealer manager and other affiliated entities. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other programs managed by affiliates of our advisor and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors.

 

   

Fees paid to our advisor in connection with transactions involving the origination, acquisition, refinancing and management of our investments are based on the cost of the investment, not on the quality of the investment or services rendered to us. This arrangement could influence our advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us.

 

   

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 substantial fees to and expenses of our advisor and its affiliates and, in connection with our public offering, we pay substantial fees to our dealer-manager, which is an affiliate of our advisor, and third-party broker-dealers participating in our continuous public offering. 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.

 

   

100% of our distributions to date have been made from proceeds from our public offering and we expect to continue to use proceeds from our public offering to fund our distributions until our cash flow from operations can support our distributions.

 

   

If we are unable to locate investments with attractive yields while we are investing the proceeds of our initial public offering, our distributions and the long-term returns of our investors would 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 increased vacancies at our properties (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.

 

   

Continued 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.

 

   

Certain of our debt obligations have variable interest rates with interest and related payments that vary with the movement of LIBOR or other indices. Increases in these indices could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

 

   

We cannot predict with any certainty how much, if any, of our distribution reinvestment plan proceeds will be available for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the redemption of shares under our share redemption program, the funding of capital expenditures on our real estate investments, or the repayment of debt.

 

31


Table of Contents
 

If such funds are not available from our distribution reinvestment plan, then we may have to use a greater proportion of our cash flow from operations, offering proceeds or other sources of funds to meet these cash requirements, which would reduce cash available for distributions and could limit our ability to redeem shares under our share redemption program.

 

   

our level of debt and the terms and limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements.

 

   

legislative or regulatory changes (including changes to the laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts, or REITs); and

 

   

changes to generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

Any of the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements included herein could be inaccurate, and undue reliance should not be placed on any such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date this quarterly report is filed with the SEC, 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, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.

All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section previously disclosed in our Form 10-K and included in this Current Report on Form 10-Q. 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 will be achieved.

Overview

We were formed as a Maryland corporation on September 18, 2008 to invest in and manage a portfolio of income-producing retail properties located throughout the United States, with a focus on grocery anchored multitenant retail centers in the Western United States. We may also invest in other real estate-related assets, including the investment in or origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans related to commercial real estate. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is managed by TNP Strategic Retail Advisor, LLC, our external advisor, pursuant to an advisory agreement. We refer to TNP Strategic Retail Advisor, LLC as our “advisor.” Our advisor conducts our operations and manages our portfolio of real estate investments. We have no paid employees. TNP Securities, LLC, an affiliate of our advisor, serves as our dealer manager for our initial public offering. We refer to TNP Securities, LLC as “TNP Securities” or our “dealer manager.”

On August 7, 2009, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-154975) registering a public offering of up to $1,100,000,000 in shares of our common stock was declared effective under the Securities Act and we commenced our initial public offering. We are offering up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock to the public in our primary offering at $10.00 per share and up to 10,526,316 shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at $9.50 per share. On June 15, 2012, we filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-11 to register up to $900,000,000 of shares of our common stock in a follow-on public offering. We will offer shares in our current public offering until the earlier of the date the SEC declares the registration statement effective for our follow-on offering and February 4, 2013.

We are dependent upon proceeds received from the sale of shares of our common stock in our initial public offering and any indebtedness that we may incur in order to conduct our proposed real estate investment activities. We were initially capitalized with $200,000 which was contributed in cash on October 16, 2008, from the sale of 22,222 shares in the aggregate to our sponsor, Thompson National Properties, LLC, or TNP. Our sponsor, or any affiliate of our sponsor, must maintain this investment while it remains our sponsor.

As of June 30, 2012, we had accepted investors’ subscriptions for, and issued, 10,430,623 shares of our common stock, including 214,355 shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in total offering proceeds of approximately $103,245,000, net of redemptions.

Our board of directors has determined an estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.18 as of March 31, 2012, an increase from the previously determined estimated value per share of $10.14 as of December 31, 2011 and $10.08 as of September 30, 2011. We are providing the estimated value per share to assist broker-dealers and stockholders in their evaluation of us. This is the third determination by our board of directors of an estimated value per share of our common stock. We currently anticipate that an estimated value per share will be calculated through the quarter ended June 30, 2012. We anticipate disclosing an updated estimated value per share as of June 30, 2012 in August 2012.

 

32


Table of Contents

The objective of our board of directors in determining the estimated value per share was to arrive at a value, based on the most recent data available, that it believed was reasonable based on methodologies that it deemed appropriate after consultation with our advisor. The estimated value per share is based on (x) the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities divided by (y) the number of outstanding shares of our common stock plus the limited partnership units of our operating partnership issued to third party sellers in connection with our acquisition of Pinehurst Square East and the Shops at Turkey Creek, all as of March 31, 2012. Investors are cautioned that the market for commercial real estate can fluctuate quickly and substantially and values of our assets and liabilities are expected to change in the future. In determining an estimated value of a share of our common stock, our board of directors relied upon information provided by our advisor, appraisal reports prepared by third parties on certain of our properties and other factors our board of directors deemed relevant. Our board of directors also took into account the estimated value of our other assets and liabilities, including a reasonable estimate of the value of our debt obligations. However, our board of directors did not consider certain other factors, such as a liquidity discount, because they did not believe such factors were appropriate or necessary under the circumstances. The estimated value per share determined by our board of directors does not represent the fair value of our assets less liabilities in accordance with GAAP, and such estimated value per share is not a representation, warranty or guarantee that a stockholder would receive this amount if he sold his shares or we consummated a liquidity event. For additional information on the methodology used by our board of directors to determine our estimated value per share of our common stock, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 21, 2012. See also, “Risk Factors — Our board of directors determined an estimated per share value of $10.18 for our shares of common stock as of March 31, 2012. You should not rely on the estimated value per share as being an accurate measure of the current value of our shares of common stock.” in Part II – Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.

We have elected to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with the year ended December 31, 2009, and therefore we generally are not subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year after the taxable year in which we initially elect to be taxed as a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which qualification is denied. Failing to qualify as a REIT could materially and adversely affect our net income. As of June 30, 2012, we believe we were in compliance with the REIT requirements.

Market Outlook

Since 2008, concerns about credit risk and access to capital in the U.S. and global financial markets have been significant and widespread. Economies throughout the world have experienced increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence due to a downturn in economic activity. Despite recent improved stock market performance and some positive economic indicators, a lack of significant job creation, low consumer confidence and a growing federal budget deficit weigh against the positive indicators. Amid signs of recovery in the economic and financial markets, concerns remain regarding job growth, wage stagnation, credit restrictions and increased taxation.

Over the past year, fundamental commercial real estate benchmarks, such as occupancy, rental rates and pricing have remained largely stagnant. Improvement in these fundamentals remains contingent upon sustainable economic growth. In general, borrower defaults may rise, and occupancy and rental rate stabilization will vary by market. Currently, benchmark interest rates, such as LIBOR, remain near historic lows. This has allowed borrowers with floating rate debt to continue to make debt service payments even as the properties securing these loans experience decreased occupancy and lower rental rates. Low short-term rates have allowed these borrowers to meet their debt obligations; however, they would not meet the current underwriting requirements needed to refinance this debt today. As these loans near maturity, borrowers may have to find new sources of funds in order to recapitalize their properties.

Although during the financial crisis and economic downturn commercial real estate transactions experienced a sharp decline in volume, the recent trends show a rebound in activity as more commercial properties come into the market as loans mature and marginally performing properties default and banks increase their foreclosures. Additionally, new lending is increasing. The commercial mortgage-backed securities market has again become a source of liquidity and we have seen additional debt capital provided by lenders such as life insurance companies, local and regional banks and debt funds. The availability of additional capital has improved the volume of transactions in the commercial real estate market.

Second Quarter 2012 Highlights

 

   

We acquired four retail properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $55,100,000, excluding closing costs.

 

   

We financed the four acquisitions with (1) borrowings under our line of credit with KeyBank, National Association, or KeyBank, aggregating $34,351,000; (2) 1031 exchange proceeds of $2,022,000 from the sale of portions of the Morningside Marketplace property in April 2012; and (3) offering proceeds of approximately $18,925,000.

In June 2012, we obtained 25-year fixed-term financing of $5,600,000 at a 4.5% fixed interest rate on a property that was initially purchased in cash for $9,300,000.

 

   

On June 13, 2012, we obtained a loan from KeyBank in the principal amount of $26,000,000, which was used to refinance, and is secured by, five of our properties. Additionally, we also obtained a $2,000,000 mezzanine loan from KeyBank in connection with this refinancing.

 

   

Our board of directors determined an estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.18 as of March 31, 2012.

Willow Run

On May 18, 2012, we acquired a fee simple interest in a multitenant retail center located in Westminster, Colorado, commonly known as Willow Run Shopping Center, for an aggregate purchase price of $11,550,000, excluding closing costs. The acquisition was financed with (1) proceeds from our public offering and (2) approximately $8,662,500 in funds borrowed under our credit agreement with KeyBank.

Bloomingdale Hills

On June 18, 2012, we acquired a fee simple interest in a multitenant retail center located in Riverview, Florida, commonly known as Bloomingdale Hills, for an aggregate purchase price of $9,300,000, excluding closing costs. We financed the purchase price of Bloomingdale Hills with cash and subsequently obtained a loan secured by this property from ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company in the amount of $5,600,000.

Visalia Marketplace

On June 25, 2012, we acquired a fee simple interest in a multitenant retail center located in Visalia, California, commonly known as Visalia Marketplace, for an aggregate purchase price of $19,000,000, excluding closing costs.

Results of Operations

Overview

The discussion that follows is based on our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The ability to compare one period to another is significantly affected by acquisitions completed and dispositions made during those periods. As of June 30, 2012, we owned 20 retail properties compared to owning only six retail properties at June 30, 2011. The increase in our property portfolio is the primary cause of the increases in operating income and expenses, as further discussed below.

Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not indicative of those expected in future periods. We have not yet invested all of the proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering received to date and expect to continue to raise additional capital, increase our borrowings and make future acquisitions, which would have a significant impact on our future results of operations. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments.

Comparison of the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 versus the three months ended June 30, 2011:

Rental and reimbursements revenue

Rental and reimbursements revenue increased by $4,360,000, or 185%, to $6,713,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $2,353,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in rental and reimbursements revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of properties we owned since June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2012, we had 20 properties comprising 2,074,980 square feet compared to six properties comprising 615,025 square feet at June 30, 2011. We expect rental revenue to increase in future periods due to future property acquisitions and owning recently acquired properties for the full reporting period.

Operating and maintenance expenses

Operating and maintenance expenses increased by $991,000, or 98%, to $2,001,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1,010,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in operating and maintenance expenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of properties we owned since June 30, 2011. As a percent of rental revenues, operating and maintenance expenses decreased from the prior period as a result of our continued efforts to manage property level expenses. Included in operating and maintenance expenses are property management fees paid to an affiliate of our advisor. We expect these expenses to increase in future periods due to future property acquisitions and owning recently acquired properties for the full reporting period.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $519,000, or 92%, to $1,085,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $566,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to the increase in the level of activity as a result of property acquisitions in the second quarter of 2012. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of corporate level legal fees, audit fees, tax fees, consulting fees, restricted stock compensation, directors’ fees, financial printer fees, and operating expense reimbursements to our advisor for salaries and corporate overhead.

Depreciation and amortization expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $1,582,000, or 173%, to $2,495,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $913,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to an increase in the number of properties we owned since June 30, 2011. We expect depreciation and amortization expense to increase in future periods due to future property acquisitions and owning recently acquired properties for the full reporting period.

Acquisition expenses

Acquisition expense increased by $832,000, or 80%, to $1,874,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1,042,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in acquisition expenses was due to the fact that we completed four property acquisitions during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to two property acquisitions in the comparable prior year period. Acquisition expenses also included transaction expenses associated with acquisitions that did not materialize as well as nonrefundable deposits, due diligence costs, and expenses on pending acquisitions.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased by $2,558,000, or 309%, to $3,386,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $828,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in interest expense was attributed to the following: (1) increase in interest associated with new financings completed since June 30, 2011, including the two secured term loans entered into in January and June 2012; (2) increase in the amortization of deferred financing costs as a result of increased debt level since June 30, 2011; and (3) a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs as a result of the refinancing completed in June 2012. We expect that in future periods our interest expense will vary based on the amount of our borrowings, which will depend on the cost of borrowings, the amount of proceeds we raise in our ongoing initial public offering and our ability to identify and acquire real estate and real estate-related assets that meet our investment objectives.

Income from discontinued operations

Income from discontinued operations decreased by $59,000, or 86%, to $10,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $69,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 related to the operating income of portions of the Morningside Marketplace which were sold in April 2012. Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 related to the operating income of portions of properties at Craig Promenade and San Jacinto Esplanade which were sold in the latter half of 2011.

Net loss

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $4,118,000 compared to a net loss of $1,804,000 for the same period in 2011. This increase in net loss is attributed to (1) non-recurring interest expense associated with the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of properties from the line of credit to the term loan entered into in June 2012; (2) non-recurring acquisition expense related to the four acquisitions completed during the three months ended June 30, 2012; and (3) the other factors noted above. We expect net loss to decrease in future years as we acquire real estate and real estate-related assets that meet our investment objectives.

Rental and reimbursements revenue

Rental and reimbursements revenue increased by $7,499,000, or 180%, to $11,664,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $4,165,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in rental and reimbursements revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of properties we owned since June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2012, we owned 20 properties comprising 2,074,980 square feet compared to six properties comprising 615,025 square feet at June 30, 2011. We expect rental revenue to increase in future periods due to future property acquisitions and owning recently acquired properties for the full reporting period.

Operating and maintenance expenses

Operating and maintenance expenses increased by $1,990,000, or 110%, to $3,797,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1,807,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in operating and maintenance expenses was due to an increase in the number of properties we owned since June 30, 2011. As a percent of rental revenues, operating and maintenance expenses decreased from the prior period as a result of our continued efforts to manage property level expenses. Included in operating and maintenance expenses are property management fees paid to an affiliate of our advisor. We expect these expenses to increase in future periods due to future property acquisitions and owning recently acquired properties for the full reporting period.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $624,000, or 64%, to $1,605,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $981,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to the increase in the level of activity as a result of our property acquisitions during the period compared to the prior year period. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of corporate level legal fees, audit fees, tax fees, consulting fees, restricted stock compensation, directors’ fees, financial printer fees, and operating expense reimbursements to our advisor for salaries and corporate overhead.

Depreciation and amortization expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $2,945,000, or 181%, to $4,568,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1,623,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to an increase in the number of properties we owned since June 30, 2011. We expect depreciation and amortization expense to increase in future periods due to future property acquisitions and owning recently acquired properties for the full reporting period.

Acquisition expenses

Acquisition expense increased by $2,306,000, or 159%, to $3,758,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1,452,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in acquisition expenses was due to the fact that we completed nine property acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to two property acquisitions in the comparable prior year period. Acquisition expenses also included transaction expenses associated with acquisitions that did not materialize as well as nonrefundable deposits, due diligence costs, and expenses on pending acquisitions.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased by $4,970,000, or 328%, to $6,485,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1,515,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in interest expense was attributed to the following: (1) increase in interest associated with new financings completed since June 30, 2011, including the two secured term loans entered into in January and June 2012; (2) increase in the amortization of deferred financing costs as a result of increased debt level since June 30, 2011; and (3) a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs as a result of the refinancing completed in January and June 2012. We expect that in future periods our interest expense will vary based on the amount of our borrowings, which will depend on the cost of borrowings, the amount of proceeds we raise in our ongoing initial public offering and our ability to identify and acquire real estate and real estate-related assets that meet our investment objectives.

Income from discontinued operations

Income from discontinued operations increased by $8,000, or 14%, to $66,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $58,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 related to the operating income of portions of the Morningside Marketplace, which were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 related to the operating income of portions of properties at Craig Promenade and San Jacinto Esplanade sold in the latter half of 2011.

Net loss

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $8,483,000 compared to a net loss of $3,021,000 for the same period in 2011. The increase in net loss is attributed to: (1) non-recurring interest expense associated with the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of properties from the line of credit to the term loan entered into in January and June 2012; (2) non-recurring acquisition expense related to the nine acquisitions completed during the six months ended June 30, 2012; and (3) the other factors noted above. We expect net loss to decrease in future years as we acquire real estate and real estate-related assets that meet our investment objectives.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demand for funds will be 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. Over time, we intend to generally fund our cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions from operations. Our cash needs for acquisitions and investments will be funded primarily from the sale of shares of our common stock and through debt. We will experience a relative increase in liquidity as additional subscriptions for shares of our common stock are received and a relative decrease in liquidity as offering proceeds are used to acquire and operate our assets.

We use, and intend to use in the future, secured and unsecured borrowings for the acquisition of properties. Once we have fully invested the proceeds of our initial public offering, we expect that our overall borrowings will approximate 50% of the market value of our properties following the offering period, although we expect to exceed this level during our offering stage in order to enable us to quickly build a diversified portfolio. Under our charter we have a limitation on borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets, which generally approximates 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets, though we may exceed this limit under certain circumstances. As of June 30,2012, our borrowings exceeded the 300% limit due to the exclusion from total assets of intangible assets that were acquired with the acquisition of 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 June 30,2012, this excess borrowing has been approved by our independent directors.

We are externally managed by our advisor. Our advisor may, but is not required to, establish working capital reserves from offering proceeds out of cash flow generated by our investments or out of proceeds from the sale of our investments. We do not anticipate establishing a general working capital reserve during our initial public offering; however, we may establish capital reserves with respect to particular investments. We also may, but are not required to, establish reserves out of cash flow generated by investments or out of net sale proceeds in non-liquidating sale transactions. Working capital reserves are typically utilized to fund tenant improvements, leasing commissions and major capital expenditures. Our lenders also may require working capital reserves.

To the extent that the working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash generated from operations, through short-term borrowing or borrowings under our revolving credit agreement. In addition, subject to certain limitations, we may incur indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of any real estate asset, refinance the debt thereon, arrange for the leveraging of any previously unfinanced property or reinvest the proceeds of financing or refinancing in additional properties.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

As of June 30, 2012, we owned 20 real estate properties with a net carrying value aggregating $229.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash used in operating activities increased by $1,923,000 to $3,049,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,126,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash used in operating activities consisted primarily of the following:

 

   

net loss of $8,483,000, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash items of $5,764,000;

 

   

$1,061,000 from decreases in prepaid expenses and other assets;

 

   

$611,000 from increases in accounts receivable;

 

   

$728,000 from increases in other liabilities;

$521,000 from decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses;

 

   

$18,000 from decreases in amounts due to affiliates; and

 

   

$969,000 from increases in restricted cash.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our cash used in investing activities will vary based on how quickly we raise funds in our ongoing initial public offering and how quickly we invest those funds. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was $100,520,000 compared to $43,327,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of nine properties during the six months ended June 30, 2012, for an aggregate purchase price of $103,425,000, excluding closing costs, and the payment of $1.5 million to redeem the preferred equity issued by a subsidiary in connection with the acquisition of Summit Point Shopping Center in December 2011.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Our cash flows from financing activities consist primarily of proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering, debt financings and distributions paid to our stockholders. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities increased by $61,652,000 to $105,200,000, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $43,548,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase primarily consisted of the following:

 

   

net cash provided by debt financings of $226,903,000, partially offset by principal payments on notes payable of $154,871,000 and payments of loan fees and financing costs of $2,609,000;

 

   

$43,198,000 of cash provided by offering proceeds related to our initial public offering, net of payments of commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering expenses of $5,147,000;

 

   

$1,710,000 of cash distributions to common stockholders and Common Unit holders; and

 

   

$177,000 cash used to pay share redemptions.

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demand for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate assets, the payment of operating expenses, principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and the payment of distributions to our stockholders. Currently, our cash needs for operations are covered from cash provided by property operations and the sale of shares of our common stock. Over time, we intend to generally fund our cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions from operations. We expect our cash needs for acquisitions and investments will be funded primarily from the sale of shares of our common stock, including those offered for sale through the distribution reinvestment plan, and through debt or other financing. Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties are added to our portfolio. The offering and organization costs associated with our ongoing offering are initially paid by our advisor, which will be reimbursed for such costs up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds raised by us in the offering, after payment of selling commission and dealer manager fees. As of June 30, 2012, our advisor or its affiliates have incurred $3,522,000 in organization and offering costs on our behalf and we have reimbursed $3,001,000 of those organization and offering costs.

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, redemptions of shares and interest and principal 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, and we intend to meet cash needs for acquisitions from the net proceeds of our ongoing public offering and our follow-on public offering or any private placement of equity and from debt financings. We expect that substantially all cash generated from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, are paid at the properties; however, we may use other sources to fund distributions as necessary, including the proceeds from our ongoing offering, cash advanced to us by our advisor, borrowings under our credit agreement and/or borrowings in anticipation of future cash flow. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we funded substantially all cash distributions to our stockholders from the proceeds of our ongoing public offering.

As of June 30, 2012, our credit agreement with KeyBank had an outstanding balance of $38.8 million. Our credit agreement and certain notes payable contain customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including, but not limited to, requirements for minimum net worth, debt service coverage and leverage. Under the credit agreement in place as of June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with those financial covenants, as of June 30, 2012.

(1) Amounts include principal payments under notes payable based on maturity dates of debt obligations outstanding as of June 30, 2012.
(2) Projected interest payments are based on the outstanding principal amounts and interest rates in effect at June 30, 2012 (consisting of the contractual interest rate). We incurred interest expense of $3,386,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2012, including amortization and write-off of deferred financing costs totaling $652,000.
(3) Represents obligations for tenant improvements under tenant leases as of June 30, 2012.

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, organization and offering costs incurred by our advisor on our behalf were $3,522,000 and $3,016,000, respectively. These costs are payable by us to the extent organization and offering costs, other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees, do not exceed 3.0% of the gross proceeds of our initial public offering. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, organization and offering costs exceeded 3.0% of the gross proceeds of our initial public offering, thus the amount in excess of the 3.0% limit of $521,000 and $1,269,000, was deferred.

All offering costs, including sales commissions of $2,856,000 and dealer manager fees of $1,298,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 are recorded as an offset to additional paid-in-capital, and all organization costs are recorded as an expense when we have an obligation to reimburse our advisor.

Interim Financial Information

The financial information as of and for the period ended June 30, 2012 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2012. 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 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Form 10-K.

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 June 30, 2012, our total operating expenses represented approximately 1.4% of our average invested assets. For the four preceding fiscal quarters, we had a net loss of $20.2 million and therefore did not compute the 25% test of net income for the purpose of the 2/25 Limit. As a result, during the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, our total operating expenses did not exceed the 2/25 Limit.

Table of Contents

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 June 30, 2012, we believe we are in compliance with the REIT requirements.

Distributions

To date all of our cash distributions have been paid from proceeds from our public offering of common stock. During our offering stage, we expect to raise capital more quickly than we acquire income-producing assets, and for some period after our offering stage, 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. Distributions declared and distributions paid to our common stockholders and Common Unit holders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

On June 30, 2012, we declared a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $592,000, of which $361,000 was paid in cash on or about July 15, 2012 and $231,000 was paid through our distribution reinvestment plan in the form of additional shares issued on or about July 15, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, cash distributions to our stockholders were funded from proceeds from our initial public offering and represented 100% return of capital to our stockholders.

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 writedowns, 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,

Table of Contents

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 our 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 in an offering such as ours where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value and there are 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, or adjusted MFFO. We believe that adjusted MFFO provides useful information about our operations excluding non-cash expenses to our investors. 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 us, 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 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.

(4) Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and 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 non-cash allocation from offering expenditures to organization expense related to unrecorded expense from prior years.
(8) Net loss per share relates to both common stockholders and non-controlling interests.

Related Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with our advisor and its affiliates whereby we agree to pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, our advisor or its affiliates for acquisition fees and expenses, organization and offering costs, sales commissions, dealer manager fees, asset and property management fees and reimbursement of operating costs. Refer to Note 11 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 June 30, 2012 and 2011, 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.

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 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2012.

Subsequent Events

Status of Offering

As of August 6, 2012, we had accepted investors’ subscriptions for, and issued, 10,547,109 shares of common stock, including 238,699 shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $104,766,000.

Distributions Declared

On July 31, 2012, we declared a monthly distribution to common stockholders in the aggregate amount of $615,000, of which $377,000 will be paid in cash on or about August 15, 2012 and $238,000 will be paid through our distribution reinvestment plan in the form of additional shares issued on or about August 15, 2012.

Reelection of Our Board of Directors

On July 18, 2012, we held the annual meeting of our stockholders. At the annual meeting of our stockholders, our then current directors listed below were elected to serve as our directors until the next annual meeting of our stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified:

Anthony W. Thompson

James R. Wolford

Phillip I. Levin

Jeffrey S. Rogers

Peter K. Kompaniez

In connection with the reelection of each of our independent directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, we granted 2,500 shares of restricted stock to each independent director pursuant to our amended and restated independent directors’ compensation plan. One-third of the shares of restricted stock became non-forfeitable on the date of grant and an additional one third will become non-forfeitable on each of the first two anniversaries of the date of grant.

Formation of Special Committee of Our Board of Directors

On July 27, 2012, our board of directors established a special committee of our board of directors comprised of our three independent directors. The special committee has the maximum power delegable to a committee of our board of directors under Maryland law and has the authority to (1) engage its own financial and legal advisors, (2) execute, deliver and file or to cause to be executed, delivered and filed all agreements, documents and instruments in our name and on our behalf as the special committee may deem necessary, convenient or appropriate, (3) expend money on our behalf and (4) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, keep private from our board of directors and our officers the minutes of its meetings and other matters.

Each member of the special committee will receive an annual fee of $10,000 for their service on the special committee through the date of our next annual meeting of stockholders, such fee was paid in one lump sum on August 1, 2012. Each member of the special committee will also receive (1) $1,000 per telephonic meeting of less than one hour in which they participate, (2) $1,500 per telephonic meeting of an hour or more in duration in which they participate and (3) $2,500 per in-person meeting which they attend. The special committee will receive the foregoing fees in addition to any fees to which they may be entitled associated with meetings of the full board of directors.

Change to Director Compensation

On July 27, 2012, our board of directors approved an increase in the annual fee paid to our directors from $30,000 to $40,000. The increase in the annual fee will take effect commencing with the next quarterly payment of the annual fee.

Changes to Management and our Board of Directors

On July 27, 2012, Mr. James R. Wolford resigned from his position as a member of our board of directors, effective July 27, 2012. On July 27, 2012, our board of directors appointed Ms. Dee R. Balch as a director to fill the vacancy on our board of directors created by the resignation of Mr. Wolford from his position as a director.

On July 27, 2012, Mr. Wolford also resigned from his positions as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary and as the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of our advisor effective immediately following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2012. On July 27, 2012, our board of directors appointed Ms. Balch to serve as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary effective upon Mr. Wolford’s resignation from those positions. Mr. Wolford will continue to serve in his capacity as President and Chief Operating Officer of our sponsor, Thompson National Properties.

Amendment No. 4 to the Advisory Agreement

On August 1, 2012, we, our operating partnership and our advisor entered into an amendment to our amended and restated advisory agreement, effective as of August 7, 2012, which, among other things:

 

   

Renews the term of our advisory agreement for an additional one-year term expiring on August 7, 2013.

 

   

Establishes a requirement that we maintain at all times a cash reserve of at least $4,000,000 and provides that our advisor may deploy any cash proceeds in excess of the cash reserve for our business pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund the acquisition, expansion and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We have managed and will continue to manage interest rate risk by maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level. In addition, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, floors, and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest-bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for payments of distributions to holders of our common stock and that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments. In March 2011, June 2011, and September 2011, we entered into three interest rate cap agreements with KeyBank in the notional amounts of $16.0 million, $10.0 million, and $4.0 million, respectively, each with interest rate caps with a strike price of LIBOR at 7%, effective on April 4, 2011, June 15, 2011, and September 30, 2011, respectively. None of the interest rate cap agreement was designated as a hedge.

Borrowings under the credit agreement determined by reference to the Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) bear interest at the lesser of (1) the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.50% per annum, or (2) the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law. Borrowings determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) bear interest at the lesser of (1) the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 3.50% per annum, or (2) the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law. The maturity date of the credit agreement is December 17, 2013 with an option to extend an additional year subject to certain conditions as set forth in the credit agreement.

We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or 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 June 30, 2012, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $145.5 million and the carrying value of our fixed rate debt was $145.8 million. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated at June 30, 2012. 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.

Conversely, movements in interest rates on variable rate debt would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of floating rate instruments. At June 30, 2012, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $38.8 million of variable rate debt outstanding, after giving consideration to the impact of a cap rate agreement on approximately $30.0 million of our variable rate debt. Based on interest rates as of June 30, 2012, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher during the 12 months ending June 30, 2013, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase by $388,000 and if interest rates were 100 basis points lower during the 12 months ending June 30, 2013, interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease by $388,000.

The weighted-average interest rates of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt at June 30, 2012 were 6.1% and 5.5%, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect at June 30, 2012.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We may be forced to find another advisor, property manager and dealer manager (or become self-managed) if the financial health of our sponsor does not improve significantly. Even if we could find substitute service providers or become self-managed, such changes would disrupt our business and could adversely affect the success of this offering and could cause the value of your investment in us to decline.

We are dependent on TNP Strategic Retail Advisor, LLC, our advisor, to manage our operations and our portfolio of real estate and real estate-related assets. We are also dependent on TNP Securities, LLC, our dealer manager and an affiliate of our sponsor, to conduct our public offering. Our dealer manager and our advisor depend on the capital from our sponsor and fees and other compensation that they receive from us in connection with our public offering and the purchase, management and sale of assets to conduct their operations. Our sponsor has a limited operating history and, since inception, has operated at a significant net loss. Our sponsor and its subsidiaries also has substantial secured and unsecured debt obligations coming due in the next two years. As discussed below, three TNP-sponsored programs have failed to make the most recent interest payments on their privately issued notes. The principal amount outstanding on those notes is approximately $51 million, approximately $21.6 million of which is coming due in 2013. All of the $21.6 million in principal amount coming due in 2013 relates to notes issued by TNP 12% Notes Program, LLC. Further, TNP 12% Notes Program, LLC is in default and has recently notified its investors that it has suspended all interest payments to investors for the remainder of 2012. These programs are subsidiaries of our sponsor, and the proceeds of such borrowings were used, in part, to fund our sponsor’s operations. The audit committee of our board of directors recently engaged an independent financial advisor to evaluate the financial health of our sponsor. That evaluation is ongoing. However, we estimate that our sponsor’s liabilities exceeded its assets by approximately $45 million as of June 30, 2012 and that our sponsor currently has a negative working capital position.

If our sponsor is unable to both negotiate a modification to its debt obligations and improve its financial performance, the ability of our advisor, our property manager and our dealer manager to perform their duties to us could be compromised. Moreover, attending to these adverse conditions could require a significant amount of time on the part of our advisor and its affiliates, thereby decreasing the amount of time they spend actively managing our investments. We believe that there is a significant risk that our sponsor’s financial condition could prompt us to seek alternative service providers or become self-managed. It may be very difficult to engage alternative service providers (which would require the consent of some of our significant lenders and certain regulatory approvals) or become self-managed. If we determine that we need to seek alternative service providers or become self-managed and are unable to successfully do so, such failure would result in a substantial disruption to our business and would adversely affect the value of an investment in us. Even if we were successful in doing so, such efforts would involve significant disruption to our business, which may adversely affect the value of your investment in us.

We expect to raise substantially less than 50% of the maximum amount we are seeking to raise in this offering. As a result, we will not be able to invest in as diverse a portfolio of properties as we otherwise would, which may cause the value of your investment to vary more widely with the performance of specific assets, and our general and administrative expenses are likely to constitute a greater percentage of our revenue. Raising fewer proceeds in this offering, therefore, could increase the risk that you will lose money on your investment.

This offering is being made on a “best efforts” basis, whereby the brokers participating in the offering have no firm commitment to purchase any shares. To date, the proceeds we have raised in this offering are lower than our sponsor and dealer manager originally expected. Some of the broker dealers participating in this offering also participated in private offerings of notes issued by other TNP- sponsored programs. As noted above, three of these programs have failed to meet interest payment deadlines and one of the programs is in default and has suspended all interest payments to its investors for the remainder of 2012. These recent developments and on- going market conditions have caused us to revise our sales projections for this offering downward.

If we are unable to increase significantly the amount of proceeds raised in this offering, we will make fewer investments than originally intended, resulting in less diversification in terms of the number of investments owned, the geographic regions in which our investments are located, the industries in which our tenants operate and the length of lease terms with our tenants. In that case, adverse developments with respect to a single property, a geographic region, a small number of tenants, a tenant industry or rental rates when we renew or release a property would have a greater adverse impact than they otherwise would. In addition, our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of our revenue, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to pay distributions to you.

Our property management agreements are long-term agreements, which we generally cannot terminate except for “cause.” Such long-term contracts may hinder our ability to obtain property management services at lower rates in the future or to locate an alternative advisor because any replacement advisor may also desire to serve as our property manager.

Our property management agreements expire between 2030 and 2032. Generally, we may only terminate these agreements for “cause,” as defined in the agreements. As a result, should property management services be available on better terms in the future, we may not be able to change property managers and realize the benefits of such improved terms. Furthermore, should we need to find an alternative advisor, long-term property management agreements may frustrate our efforts because any alternative advisor may desire to serve as our property manager as well. Therefore, the long-term, non-terminable nature of our property management agreements may adversely affect the value of your investment in us.

Our board of directors determined an estimated per share value of $10.18 for our shares of common stock as of March 31, 2012. You should not rely on the estimated value per share as being an accurate measure of the current value of our shares of common stock or in making an investment decision.

On May 14, 2012, our board of directors determined an estimated per share value of $10.18 for our common stock as of March 31, 2012. We did not, however, change the price per share in this public offering, under our distribution reinvestment program or under our share redemption program, except in the case of redemptions upon the death or disability of a stockholder, in which case we will use the higher of the most recently determined estimated share value and the purchase price paid. We disclose in our filings with the SEC the methodology used to determine the estimated value per share and numerous limitations related to the estimated value per share. Please see our filings with the SEC for a detailed description of the estimated share valuation methodology and limitations.

We currently anticipate that the estimated value per share will be calculated quarterly through the quarter ending June 30, 2012. Our board of directors’ objective in determining the estimated value per share was to arrive at a value, based on the most recent data available, that it believed was reasonable based on methodologies that it deemed appropriate after consultation with our advisor and after reviewing, among other factors, appraisal reports of our properties prepared by third parties. However, the market for commercial real estate can fluctuate quickly and substantially and values are expected to change in the future and may decrease. Also, our board of directors did not consider certain other factors, such as a liquidity discount.

As with any valuation methodology, the methodologies used to determine the estimated value per share were based upon a number of assumptions, estimates and judgments that may not be accurate or complete. Further, different parties using different property-specific and general real estate and capital market assumptions, estimates, judgments and standards could derive a different estimated value per share, which could be significantly different from the estimated value per share determined by our board of directors. The estimated value per share does not represent the fair value of our assets less

liabilities in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The estimated value per share is not a representation or indication that: a stockholder would be able to realize the estimated share value if he or she attempts to sell shares; a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to the estimated value per share upon liquidation of assets and settlement of our liabilities or upon a sale of our company; shares of our common stock would trade at the estimated value per share on a national securities exchange; a third party would offer the estimated value per share in an arms-length transaction to purchase all or substantially all of our shares of common stock; or the methodologies used to estimate the value per share would be acceptable to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, or under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or ERISA, with respect to their respective requirements.

Our board of directors has determined an estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.18 as of March 31, 2012. However, we continue to offer shares in our public offering at a price of $10.00 per share. The sale of shares at an offering price that is lower than the estimated per share value results in the dilution of existing stockholder’ investments.

Our board of directors has determined an estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.18 as of March 31, 2012. Our board of directors has determined that it is not appropriate to revise the price at which shares of our common stock are offered in our continuous public offering or under our distribution reinvestment plan.

When our shares are sold at a price per share below the then-current estimated value per share, the resulting increase in the number of outstanding shares is not accompanied by a proportionate increase in our net assets. As a result, any sale of shares at a price below the then-current estimated per share value results in an immediate dilution to existing stockholders who purchased shares. This dilution includes reduction in the estimated per share value of outstanding shares as a result of the issuance of shares at a price below the then current estimated per share value and a proportionately greater decrease in existing stockholders’ interest in our earnings and assets.

Failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting could have an adverse effect on our operations.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports, our reputation and operating results could be harmed. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we identified a significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting related to our making certain prepayments of acquisition fees and financing fees to our advisor prior to the closing of the transaction. In each case, the fees were ultimately earned by the advisor. We are currently in the process of developing additional controls and procedures to remediate this significant deficiency. However, those changes may not be successful, and we may be unable to maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future, including compliance with the obligations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we are unable to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting we may not be able to provide reliable financial reports, which, in turn could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could limit our ability to access the capital markets and require us to incur additional costs to improve our internal control systems and procedures.

Please also see the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012.

 

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.

On August 7, 2009, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-154975), covering a public offering of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock in our primary offering and 10,526,316 shares of common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan, was declared effective under the Securities Act. We are offering 100,000,000 shares of common stock in our primary offering at an aggregate offering price of up to $1.0 billion, or $10.00 per share, with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers. The 10,526,316 shares offered under our distribution reinvestment plan are initially being offered at an aggregate offering price of $9.50 per share. On June 15, 2012 we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 to register up to $900,000,000 of shares of our common stock in a follow-on public offering. We will offer shares in our current offering until the earlier of the date the SEC declares the registration statement for our follow-on offering effective and February 4, 2013. In many states, we will need to renew our registration statement or file a new registration statement to continue our offering for these periods. We may terminate our offering at any time. We may sell shares under the distribution reinvestment plan beyond the termination of our primary offering until we have sold all the shares of our common stock under the distribution reinvestment plan.

From the commencement of our ongoing initial public offering through June 30, 2012, we had accepted investors’ subscriptions for and issued 10,430,623 shares of common stock in our ongoing initial public offering including 214,355 shares of common stock issued under the distribution reinvestment plan for total offering proceeds of approximately $103,245,000, net of redemptions.

As of June 30, 2012, we had incurred selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs in the amounts set forth below. The dealer manager, TNP Securities, LLC, re-allowed all of the selling commissions and a portion of the dealer manager fees to participating broker dealers.

We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. We may use the net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the redemption of shares under our share redemption program, capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs and other funding obligations. As of June 30, 2012, we have used the net proceeds from our ongoing primary public offering and debt financing to invest $258.8 million in 20 multi-tenant and single tenant properties, including $9,681,000 of acquisition expenses.

We have adopted a share redemption program that may provide limited liquidity to certain of our stockholders. Unless shares are being redeemed due to the death or disability of a stockholder, we may not redeem shares under the share redemption plan unless the holder has held the shares for at least one year. Additionally, the number of shares that may be redeemed during any calendar year is limited to (1) 5.0% of the weighted average of the number of shares of our 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 distribution reinvestment plan in the prior calendar year plus such additional funds as may be reserved for that purpose by our board of directors. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate the share redemption program at any time if it determines that the funds available to fund the share redemption program are needed for other business or operational purposes or that amendment, suspension or termination of the share redemption program is in the best interest of our stockholders. The share redemption program will terminate if the shares of our common stock are listed on a national securities exchange. Subject to the limitations above, we currently repurchase shares of our common stock as follows:
