SUPPLEMENT NO. 14 DATED mAY 10, 2013
TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED October 26, 2012
This document supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, our prospectus dated October 26, 2012 relating to our offering of 180 million shares of common stock, as supplemented by Supplement No. 13 dated April 16, 2013. Unless otherwise defined in this Supplement No. 14, capitalized terms used have the same meanings as set forth in the prospectus. The purpose of this supplement is to disclose, among other things, the following:
· | the status of the offering; |
· | the acquisition of a shopping center in Hartville, Ohio; |
· | updates regarding risk factors; |
· | changes to the titles of certain of our officers; |
· | “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” similar to that filed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2013, filed on May 9, 2013; and |
· | our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as filed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on May 9, 2013. |
Status of the Offering
We commenced our initial public offering on August 12, 2010, pursuant to which we are offering up to 150,000,000 shares of our common stock in a primary offering at $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain categories of purchasers, and up to 30,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan at $9.50 per share. As of May 9, 2013, we had raised aggregate gross offering proceeds of approximately $344.9 million from the sale of approximately 34.8 million shares in our initial public offering, including shares sold under our dividend reinvestment plan.
Property Acquisition
On April 23, 2013, we, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, purchased a shopping center containing 108,412 rentable square feet and located on approximately 23.1 acres of land in Hartville, Ohio, a suburb of Akron, Ohio (“Hartville Centre”) for approximately $7.3 million, exclusive of closing costs. We funded the purchase price with proceeds from this offering.
At the time of acquisition, Hartville Centre was approximately 76.7% leased to 13 tenants, including a Giant Eagle grocery store that occupies approximately 59.7% of the total rentable square feet. Based on the current condition of Hartville Centre, we do not believe that it will be necessary to make significant renovations to the property. Our management believes that Hartville Centre is adequately insured.

Risk Factors
The following risk factor revises and supplements, as appropriate, the risk factors included in this prospectus under the heading “Risk Factors – Risks Related to an Investment in Us.”
If we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flows from operations, we may not be able to sustain our distribution rate and we may have fewer funds available for investment in properties and other assets, and your overall returns may be reduced.
Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from any source without limit. If we fund distributions from financings or the net proceeds from this offering, we will have fewer funds available for investment in real estate properties and other real estate-related assets, and your overall returns may be reduced. At times, we may be forced to borrow funds to pay distributions during unfavorable market conditions or during periods when funds from operations are needed to make capital expenditures and other expenses, which could increase our operating costs. We may also fund such distributions from advances or contributions from our sponsors or from any deferral or waiver of fees by our advisor and sub-advisor. Furthermore, if we cannot cover our distributions with cash flows from operations, we may be unable to sustain our distribution rate. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we paid distributions of approximately $2,417,000, including distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan, and our GAAP cash flows from operations were approximately $3,915,000. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we paid distributions of approximately $3,673,000, including distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan, and our GAAP cash flows from operations were approximately $4,033,000.
The following risk factor revises and supplements, as appropriate, the risk factors included in this prospectus under the heading “Risk Factors – Risks Associated with Debt Financing.”
Increases in interest rates would increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
As of March 31, 2013, we had $118.1 million of variable rate debt obligations. Because we have such variable rate debt obligations, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs and would reduce our cash flows and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments at times that may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.
Executive Officer Title Changes
On April 22, 2013, our board of directors of appointed John B. Bessey to the positions of Co-President and Chief Investment Officer. Mr. Bessey had previously served as our President since December 2009. Additionally, our board of directors appointed R. Mark Addy to the position of Co-President. Mr. Addy will also continue to serve as our Chief Operating Officer, a position he has held since October 2010.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on October 13, 2009 and have elected to be taxed as REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010. We are offering pursuant to a registration statement $1.785 billion in shares of common stock in this offering on a “best efforts” basis. This offering consists of a primary offering of $1.5 billion in shares offered to investors at a price of $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain categories of purchasers, and $285 million in shares offered to stockholders pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRP”) at a price of $9.50 per share. We have the right to reallocate the shares of common stock offered between the primary offering and the DRP.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we issued 8,715,436 shares of common stock, including 106,989 shares through the DRP, generating gross cash proceeds of $86.6 million. As of March 31, 2013, we had issued a total of 22,516,687 shares of common stock in this offering, including 262,928 shares issued through the DRP, generating gross cash proceeds of $222.7 million.
In addition, from April 1, 2013 through April 30, 2013, we raised approximately $80.0 million through the issuance of 8,037,366 shares of common stock under this offering.
Our advisor is American Realty Capital II Advisors, LLC (“AR Capital Advisor”), a limited liability company that was organized in the State of Delaware on December 28, 2009 and that is indirectly wholly owned by AR Capital LLC (formerly American Realty Capital II, LLC) (the “AR Capital sponsor”). Under the terms of the advisory agreement between AR Capital Advisor and us, AR Capital Advisor is responsible for the management of our day-to-day activities and the implementation of our investment strategy. AR Capital Advisor has delegated most of its duties under the advisory agreement, including the management of our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of real estate assets, to Phillips Edison NTR LLC (“Phillips Edison Sub-Advisor”), which is indirectly wholly owned by Phillips Edison Limited Partnership (the “Phillips Edison sponsor”). Notwithstanding such delegation to Phillips Edison Sub-Advisor, AR Capital Advisor retains ultimate responsibility for the performance of all the matters entrusted to it under the advisory agreement.

We invest primarily in well-occupied grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers having a mix of creditworthy national and regional retailers selling necessity-based goods and services in strong demographic markets throughout the United States. In addition, we may invest in other retail properties including power and lifestyle shopping centers, multi-tenant shopping centers, free-standing single-tenant retail properties, and other real estate and real estate-related loans and securities depending on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities that we determine are in the best interests of our stockholders. We expect that retail properties primarily would underlie or secure the real estate-related loans and securities in which we may invest.
On September 20, 2011, we entered into the Joint Venture with the CBRE Global Investors. The Joint Venture is in the form of PECO-ARC Institutional Joint Venture I., L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. We, through an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, hold an approximate 54% interest in the Joint Venture. We serve as the general partner and manage the operations of the Joint Venture. The CBRE Global Investors hold the remaining approximate 46% interest. We contributed approximately $58.7 million, in the form of equity interests in six wholly owned real estate properties and cash, to the Joint Venture (defined below), and the CBRE Global Investors contributed $50.0 million in cash. As of March 31, 2013, 100% of the equity contributions from the CBRE Global Investors and us have been invested in the Joint Venture’s 20 properties.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we acquired 11 properties for a combined purchase price of $163.9 million. The weighted average capitalization rate for our 2013 acquisitions was 7.7%. The capitalization rate is calculated by dividing the annualized net operating income of a property as of the date of acquisition by the purchase price of the property. As of March 31, 2013, we owned fee simple interests in 37 properties in 16 states across the United States that collectively total approximately 3.7 million square feet with a combined purchase price of $468.0 million. Included in these totals are 20 properties owned through the Joint Venture that total 1,878,177 square feet with a combined purchase price of $211.1 million. Our portfolio was purchased at a weighted average capitalization rate of 7.9% and was 94.1% leased as of March 31, 2013.

Portfolio Tenancy
Prior to the acquisition of a property, we assess the suitability of the grocery-anchor tenant and other tenants in light of our investment objectives, namely, preserving capital and providing stable cash flows for distributions. Generally, we assess the strength of the tenant by consideration of company factors, such as its financial strength and market share in the geographic area of the shopping center, as well as location-specific factors, such as the store’s sales, local competition and demographics. When assessing the tenancy of the non-anchor space at the shopping center, we consider the tenant mix at each shopping center in light of our portfolio, the proportion of national and national franchise tenants, and the creditworthiness of specific tenants. When evaluating non-national tenancy, we attempt to obtain credit enhancements to leases, which typically come in the form of deposits and/or guarantees from one or more individuals.

Results of Operations
Overview
As we owned only nine properties during the three month period ended March 31, 2012, virtually all differences when comparing that period to the three months ended March 31, 2013 are the result of the 28 properties acquired since March 31, 2012.
Summary of Operating Activities for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $11,237,000 with rental income of $8,865,000. Other revenues, largely comprised of tenant reimbursements, were $2,372,000. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $2,215,000 with rental income of $1,755,000. Other revenues were $460,000.

In addition to the acquisition of 28 properties since March 31, 2012, the primary reasons for the increase in general and administrative expenses are a $150,000 increase in asset management fees paid by the CBRE Global Investors, a $143,000 increase in audit and tax fees, and a $92,000 increase in transfer agent fees. As of March 31, 2013, our Advisor Entities and their affiliates have not allocated any portion of their employees’ salaries to general and administrative expenses.
Under the terms of our advisory agreement, AR Capital Advisor waived or reimbursed all or a portion of the asset management fees incurred for any applicable period through September 30, 2012 to the extent that, as of the date of the payment, our modified funds from operations (as defined in accordance with the then-current practice guidelines issued by the Investment Program Association with an additional adjustment to add back capital contribution amounts received from Phillips Edison Sub-Advisor or an affiliate thereof without any corresponding issuance of equity to Phillips Edison Sub-Advisor or affiliate) during the quarter were not at least equal to our declared distributions during the quarter, provided that the distribution rate during such quarter was no more than $0.65 per share on an annualized basis.
Asset management fees were $249,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the asset management fees were paid solely by the CBRE Global Investors, as we are not responsible for the payment of cash asset management fees pursuant to the advisory agreement between the Joint Venture and AR Capital Advisor. Asset management fees were $217,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, but $118,000 of these fees were waived by our Advisor Entities pursuant to the advisory agreement provision detailed in the previous paragraph.
On February 4, 2013, we and our operating partnership, Phillips Edison – ARC Shopping Center Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) entered into an Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “A&R Advisory Agreement”) with AR Capital Advisor. The A&R Advisory Agreement provides that the asset management compensation structure contemplated in the previous advisory agreement between us and AR Capital Advisor is eliminated effective October 1, 2012. Instead, we expect to issue to AR Capital Advisor on a quarterly basis performance-based restricted partnership units of the Operating Partnership designated as “Class B units.” The Class B units will vest, and will no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as all of the following events occur: (x) the value of the Operating Partnership’s assets plus all distributions made equals or exceeds the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return thereon (the “economic hurdle”); (y) any one of the following occurs: (1) the termination of the A&R Advisory Agreement by an affirmative vote of a majority of our independent directors without cause; (2) a listing event; or (3) another liquidity event; and (z) AR Capital Advisor is still providing advisory services to us (the “service condition”). Such Class B units will be forfeited immediately if: (a) the A&R Advisory Agreement is terminated for cause; or (b) the A&R Advisory Agreement is terminated by an affirmative vote of a majority of our independent directors without cause before the economic hurdle has been met. The Class B units are participating securities that will receive distributions at the same rates and dates as the distributions paid to our common stockholders. These distributions will be calculated by the product of the number of unvested units issued to date and the stated distribution rate at the time the applicable distributions are authorized. Distributions for outstanding unvested units incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $4,000.
7 |
On February 13, 2013, the Operating Partnership issued 59,245 Class B units to AR Capital Advisor under the A&R Advisory Agreement for the asset management services performed by AR Capital Advisor during the period from October 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012. On April 22, 2013, the Operating Partnership issued 104,372 Class B units to AR Capital Advisor under the A&R Advisory Agreement for the asset management services performed by AR Capital Advisor during the period from January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013. These Class B units will not vest until the conditions referenced above have been met.
Acquisition expenses were $2,514,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Included in these acquisition expenses were $1,648,000 of acquisition fees paid to our Advisor Entities and approximately $93,000 of expense incurred for acquisitions that did not close during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Acquisition expenses were $278,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Included in these acquisition expenses were $64,000 of acquisition fees paid to our Advisor Entities and approximately $41,000 of expense incurred for acquisitions that did not close during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $5,234,000 and $1,044,000, respectively.
Interest expense was $2,100,000 and $391,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The net loss attributable to our stockholders was $2,848,000 and $258,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our principal demands for funds are for real estate and real estate-related investments and the payment of acquisition expenses, operating expenses, distributions to stockholders and principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness. Generally, we expect cash needed for items other than acquisitions and acquisition expenses to be generated from operations and our current investments. The sources of our operating cash flows are primarily driven by the rental income received from leased properties. We expect to continue to raise capital through this offering and to utilize such funds and proceeds from secured or unsecured financing to complete future property acquisitions. As of March 31, 2013, we had raised approximately $222.7 million in gross proceeds from this offering, including $2.5 million through the DRP.
As of March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8.2 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had a net cash increase of approximately $0.5 million.
This cash increase was the result of:
• | $3.9 million provided by operating activities, largely the result of income generated from operations. Also included in this total was approximately $2.5 million of real estate acquisition expenses incurred during the period and expensed in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and $233,000 of capitalized leasing costs; |
8 |
• | $123.5 million used in investing activities, which was the result of 11 property acquisitions along with capital expenditures of $510,000; and |
• | $120.1 million provided by financing activities with approximately $102.1 million from the proceeds from mortgage loans and $72.6 million from the net proceeds of the issuance of common stock. Partially offsetting these amounts was $47.4 million of payments on the mortgage loans payable, distributions paid to the CBRE Global Investors of $1.9 million and distributions paid to our stockholders of $1.4 million, net of DRP proceeds. |
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by property operations, proceeds from this offering, and proceeds from secured debt financings, along with any deferral or waiver of fees by our Advisor Entities. Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties are added to our portfolio. Other than the commissions paid to the Dealer Manager , the organization and offering costs associated with this offering are initially paid by our sponsors. Our sponsors will be reimbursed for such costs up to 1.5% of the gross capital raised in this offering. As of March 31, 2013, we owe our Advisor Entities and their affiliates a total of $2.8 million of organization and offering costs incurred on our behalf and fees charged to us for asset management, property management, and other services. In addition, approximately $4.2 million of offering costs incurred by Phillips Edison Sub-Advisor on our behalf has not been charged to us or recorded in our consolidated financial statements. Whether these costs will be billed to us in the future will depend on the success of this offering and the discretion of Phillips Edison Sub-Advisor. Our sponsors have provided $228,000 since inception for certain of our general and administrative expenses as capital contributions. Our sponsors have not received, and will not receive, any reimbursement or additional equity for these contributions. The sponsors provided no such capital contributions for the three months ended March 31, 2013 or 2012. Our sponsors do not intend to make further capital contributions to continue to fund certain of our general and administrative expenses.
We have $248.3 million of contractual debt obligations, representing variable and fixed-rate secured and unsecured credit facilities and mortgage loans secured by our real estate assets. Of the amount outstanding on our mortgage notes payable at March 31, 2013, $23.1 million is for loans which mature in 2013. We have one-year extension options on $19.2 million of such loans maturing in 2013, subject to extension fees and compliance with loan covenants, and we have repaid $3.9 million of the loans maturing in 2013. We intend to extend (if possible) or refinance these loans as they mature. As of March 31, 2013, we had an unsecured credit facility with $10.0 million of available funds, on which we had drawn $3.9 million. We also have a $265.0 million secured revolving credit facility, the capacity of which may be expanded to $300.0 million, with an outstanding principal balance of $85.9 million, from which we may draw funds to pay certain long-term debt obligations as they mature.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, gross distributions of approximately $2,417,000 were paid to stockholders, including $1,017,000 of distributions reinvested through the DRP, for net cash distributions of $1,400,000. Our cash generated from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $3,915,000. On April 1, 2013, gross distributions of approximately $1,159,000 were paid, including $507,000 of distributions reinvested through the DRP, for net cash distributions of $652,000. These distributions were funded by cash generated from operating activities.
On March 6, 2013, our board of directors authorized distributions to the stockholders of record at the close of business each day in the period commencing April 1, 2013 through and including April 31, 2013. The authorized distributions equal an amount of $0.00183562 per share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. This equates to a 6.70% annualized yield when calculated on a $10.00 per share purchase price. A portion of each distribution is expected to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes. Distributions for the month of April were paid on May 1, 2013. Our policy is not to fund distributions with proceeds from this offering.

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a long-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for real estate and real estate-related investments and the payment of acquisition expenses, operating expenses, distributions and redemptions to stockholders and interest and principal on indebtedness, and payments on amounts due to our sponsors for organization and offering costs incurred on our behalf. Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions and acquisition expenses from our cash flow from operations, and we expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions and acquisition expenses from the net proceeds of this offering and from debt financings. As they mature, we intend to refinance our long-term debt obligations if possible. We also have a $265.0 million secured revolving credit facility, the capacity of which may be expanded to $300.0 million and from which we may draw funds to pay certain long-term debt obligations as they mature. We expect that substantially all net cash generated from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, are funded; however, we may use other sources to fund distributions as necessary, including contributions or advances made to us by our Advisor Entities and their respective affiliates and borrowings under future debt agreements.
Our charter limits our borrowings to 300% of our net assets (as defined in our charter); however, we may exceed that limit if a majority of our conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of our charter limitation and if we disclose such borrowing to our stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. In all events, we expect that our secured and unsecured borrowings will be reasonable in relation to the net value of our assets and will be reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly.
Careful use of debt will help us to achieve our diversification goals because we will have more funds available for investment. However, high levels of debt could cause us to incur higher interest charges and higher debt service payments, which would decrease the amount of cash available for distribution to our investors.
Our leverage ratios were 51.1% and 48.5% (calculated as total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, as a percentage of total real estate investments, including acquired intangible lease assets, at cost) as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Interest Rate Hedging
The interest rate swap associated with our cash flow hedge is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedge both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swap associated with our cash flow hedge is recorded in other comprehensive income which is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and our condensed consolidated statement of equity. Our cash flow hedge becomes ineffective if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt instrument do not perfectly match, such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, calculation period and LIBOR rate. If a cash flow hedge is deemed ineffective, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swap associated with our cash flow hedges is recognized in earnings in the period affected. In addition, we evaluate the default risk of the counterparty by monitoring the credit-worthiness of the counterparty which includes reviewing debt ratings and financial performance. However, management does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparty.
In March 2013, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixes the variable interest rate on $50.0 million of our secured credit facility at 3.05% through December 2017. The swap was designed and qualified as a cash flow hedge and was recorded at fair value. Hedge ineffectiveness has not impacted earning as of March 31, 2013, and we do not anticipate it will have a significant effect in the future.

Funds from Operations, Funds from Operations Adjusted for Acquisition Expenses, and Modified Funds from Operations
Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP performance financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We use FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts to be net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains (or losses) from sales of property (including deemed sales and settlements of pre-existing relationships), plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets and impairment charges, and after related adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and subsidiaries and noncontrolling interests. We believe that FFO is helpful to our investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, impairment charges, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared year to year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which are not immediately apparent from net income. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate and intangibles diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. As a result, our management believes that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, is helpful for our investors in understanding our performance. In particular, because GAAP impairment charges are not allowed to be reversed if the underlying fair values improve or because the timing of impairment charges may lag the onset of certain operating consequences, we believe FFO provides useful supplemental information related to current consequences, benefits and sustainability related to rental rate, occupancy and other core operating fundamentals. Factors that impact FFO include start-up costs, fixed costs, delay in buying assets, lower yields on cash held in accounts, income from portfolio properties and other portfolio assets, interest rates on acquisition financing and operating expenses. In addition, FFO will be affected by the types of investments in our targeted portfolio which will consist of, but is not limited to, necessity-based neighborhood and community shopping centers, first- and second-priority mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, bridge and other loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, and debt securities of real estate companies. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted 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 FFO as described above, as impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows, you are cautioned that we may not recover any impairment charges. FFO 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 FFO.
11 |
Since FFO was promulgated, GAAP has expanded to include several new accounting pronouncements, such that management and many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of FFO alone to be insufficient. Accordingly, in addition to FFO, we use both FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and modified funds from operations, or MFFO, as defined by the Investment Program Association (“IPA”). FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses excludes acquisition fees and expenses from FFO. In addition to excluding acquisition fees and expenses, MFFO also excludes from FFO the following items:
(1) | straight-line rent amounts, both income and expense; |
(2) | amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities; |
(3) | amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments; |
(4) | gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt; |
(5) | gains or losses on the extinguishment or sales of hedges, foreign exchange, securities and other derivatives holdings except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of our operations; |
(6) | gains or losses related to fair-value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting, including interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives; |
(7) | gains or losses related to consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting; |
(8) | gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments; and |
(9) | adjustments related to the above items for unconsolidated entities in the application of equity accounting. |
We believe that both FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO are helpful in assisting management and investors with the assessment of the sustainability of operating performance in future periods and, in particular, after our offering and acquisition stages are complete, because both FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO exclude acquisition expenses that affect property operations only in the period in which the property is acquired. Thus, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO provide helpful information relevant to evaluating our operating performance in periods in which there is no acquisition activity.
In evaluating investments in real estate, including both business combinations and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, management’s investment models and analyses differentiate costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Prior to 2009, acquisition costs for both of these types of investments were capitalized under GAAP; however, beginning in 2009, acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed. Both of these acquisition-related costs have been and will continue to be funded from the proceeds of this offering and generally not from operations. We believe by excluding expensed acquisition costs, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO provide 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 those paid to our Advisor Entities or third parties.
12 |
As explained below, management’s evaluation of our operating performance excludes the additional items considered in the calculation of MFFO based on the following economic considerations. Many of the adjustments in arriving at MFFO are not applicable to us. Nevertheless, we explain below the reasons for each of the adjustments made in arriving at our MFFO definition.
• | Adjustments for straight-line rents and amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments. In the proper application of GAAP, rental receipts and discounts and premiums on debt investments are allocated to periods using various systematic methodologies. This application may result in income recognition that could be significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance. |
• | Adjustments for amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets. Similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangibles diminishes ratably over time and that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since real estate values and market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate. |
• | Gains or losses related to fair-value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting and gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments. Each of these items relates to a fair value adjustment, which is based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions and specific performance of the holding, which may not be directly attributable to current operating performance. As these gains or losses relate to underlying long-term assets and liabilities, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in core operating fundamentals rather than changes that may reflect anticipated gains or losses. |
• | Adjustment for gains or losses related to early extinguishment of hedges, debt, consolidation or deconsolidation and contingent purchase price. Similar to extraordinary items excluded from FFO, these adjustments are not related to continuing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods and to other real estate operators. |
By providing FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that also assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisition stages are completed. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry. MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisition stages are completed with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. However, you are cautioned that FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisition stages are completed, as both measures exclude acquisition costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired. Acquisition costs also adversely affect our book value and equity.
Each of FFO, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses, and MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), or as an indication of our liquidity, nor is any of these measures indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to fund distributions. In particular, as we are currently in the acquisition phase of our life cycle, acquisition-related costs and other adjustments that are increases to FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses and MFFO are, and may continue to be, a significant use of cash. MFFO has limitations as a performance measure in an offering such as this where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value and there is no net asset value determination during the offering stage and for a period thereafter. Accordingly, FFO, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses, and MFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements. Our FFO, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses, and MFFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.
13 |
The following section presents our calculation of FFO, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses, and MFFO and provides additional information related to our operations (in thousands, except per share amounts). As a result of the timing of the commencement of this offering and our active real estate operations, FFO, FFO adjusted for acquisition expenses, and MFFO are not relevant to a discussion comparing operations for the two periods presented. We expect revenues and expenses to increase in future periods as we raise additional offering proceeds and use them to acquire additional investments.

Distributions
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, gross distributions paid were $2,417,000 with $1,017,000 being reinvested through the DRP for net cash distributions of $1,400,000. There were gross distributions of $1,159,000 accrued and payable as of March 31, 2013.
Distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2013 accrued at an average daily rate of $0.00182009 per share of common stock. Distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2012 accrued at an average daily rate of $0.00178082 per share of common stock. Our net loss attributable to stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $2,848,000, and net cash provided by operating activities was $3,915,000. Distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2013 were funded from our cash provided by operating activities. Our cumulative gross distributions and net loss attributable to stockholders from inception through March 31, 2013 are $6,963,000 and $9,305,000, respectively. We have funded our cumulative distributions, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with cash provided by operating activities, advances from Phillips Edison Sub-Advisor, and borrowings.
14 |
We expect to pay distributions monthly and continue paying distributions monthly unless our results of operations, our general financial condition, general economic conditions or other factors make it imprudent to do so. The timing and amount of distributions will be determined by our board and will be influenced in part by our intention to comply with REIT requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
We may receive income from interest or rents at various times during our fiscal year and, because we may need funds from operations during a particular period to fund capital expenditures and other expenses, we expect that at least during the early stages of our development and from time to time during our operational stage, we will declare distributions in anticipation of funds that we expect to receive during a later period. We will pay these distributions in advance of our actual receipt of these funds. In these instances, we expect to look to borrowings to fund our distributions. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash provided by operating activities, we will have fewer funds available for investment in properties, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced, and subsequent investors may experience dilution.
Our distribution policy is not to use the proceeds of this offering to pay distributions. However, our board has the authority under our organizational documents, to the extent permitted by Maryland law, to pay distributions from any source without limit, including proceeds from this offering or the proceeds from the issuance of securities in the future.
To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90.0% of our REIT taxable income (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). If we meet the REIT qualification requirements, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the income that we distribute to our stockholders each year.
We have not established a minimum distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make distributions to our stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2013. For a summary of our critical accounting policies, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. ASU 2012-04 was effective for us as of January 1, 2013. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by respective line items of net income if it is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety. For other reclassified amounts, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-02 were effective for us on January 1, 2013, and are to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this pronouncement did not materially impact our condensed consolidated financial statements, and no additional disclosures were required because no amounts were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Phillips Edison—ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should refer to the audited financial statements of Phillips Edison-ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc. (”we,” “our,” or “us”) for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K as certain footnote disclosures contained in such audited financial statements have been omitted from this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation have been included in this Quarterly Report.
1. ORGANIZATION
Phillips Edison—ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc. was formed as a Maryland corporation on October 13, 2009 and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010. Substantially all of our business is expected to be conducted through Phillips Edison—ARC Shopping Center Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on December 3, 2009. We are the sole limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and our wholly owned subsidiary, Phillips Edison Shopping Center OP GP LLC, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.
We are offering to the public, pursuant to a registration statement, $1.785 billion in shares of common stock on a “best efforts” basis in our initial public offering (“our offering”). Our offering consists of a primary offering of $1.5 billion in shares offered to investors at a price of $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain categories of purchasers, and $285 million in shares offered to stockholders pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRP”) at a price of $9.50 per share. We have the right to reallocate the shares of common stock offered between the primary offering and the DRP. We are selling the shares registered in our primary offering over a three-year period, which ends August 12, 2013. Under rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in some instances we may extend the primary offering beyond that date. We may sell shares under the DRP beyond the termination of the primary offering until we have sold all the shares under the plan.
As of March 31, 2013, we had issued 22,516,687 shares of common stock since inception, including 262,928 shares issued through the DRP, generating gross cash proceeds of $222.7 million.
Our advisor is American Realty Capital II Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), a limited liability company that was organized in the State of Delaware on December 28, 2009 and that is indirectly wholly owned by AR Capital, LLC (formerly American Realty Capital II, LLC) (the “AR Capital sponsor”). Under the terms of the advisory agreement between the Advisor and us, the Advisor is responsible for the management of our day-to-day activities and the implementation of our investment strategy. The Advisor has delegated most of its duties under the advisory agreement, including the management of our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of real estate assets, to Phillips Edison NTR LLC (the “Sub-advisor”), which is indirectly wholly owned by Phillips Edison Limited Partnership (the “Phillips Edison sponsor”). Notwithstanding such delegation to the Sub-advisor, the Advisor retains ultimate responsibility for the performance of all the matters entrusted to it under the advisory agreement.
We invest primarily in well-occupied grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers having a mix of creditworthy national and regional retailers selling necessity-based goods and services in strong demographic markets throughout the United States. In addition, we may invest in other retail properties including power and lifestyle shopping centers, multi-tenant shopping centers, free-standing single-tenant retail properties, and other real estate and real estate-related loans and securities depending on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities that we determine are in the best interests of our stockholders. We expect that retail properties primarily would underlie or secure the real estate-related loans and securities in which we may invest. As of March 31, 2013, we owned fee simple interests in 37 real estate properties, 20 of which we owned through the Joint Venture (as defined below), acquired from third parties unaffiliated with us, the Advisor, or the Sub-advisor.
F-6 |
On September 20, 2011, we entered into a joint venture with a group of institutional international investors advised by CBRE Investors Global Multi Manager (each a “CBRE Investor”). The joint venture is in the form of PECO-ARC Institutional Joint Venture I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Joint Venture”). We, through an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, hold an approximate 54% interest in the Joint Venture. We serve as the general partner and manage the operations of the Joint Venture. The CBRE Investors hold the remaining approximate 46% interest. We contributed approximately $58.7 million, in the form of equity interests in six wholly owned real estate properties and cash, to the Joint Venture, and the CBRE Investors contributed $50.0 million in cash. As of March 31, 2013, the Joint Venture holds 20 grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and required the application of significant judgment by management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies for the three months ended March 31, 2013. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Investment Property and Lease Intangibles—Real estate assets we have acquired are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for computing depreciation are generally 5-7 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment, 15 years for land improvements and 30 years for buildings and building improvements. Tenant improvements are amortized over the shorter of the respective lease term or the expected useful life of the asset. Major replacements that extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized, and maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
The results of operations of acquired properties are included in our results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition. Estimates of future cash flows, estimates of replacement cost, and other valuation techniques that we believe are similar to those used by independent appraisers are used to allocate the purchase price of each identifiable asset acquired and liabilities assumed such as land, buildings and improvements, equipment and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, such as amounts related to in-place leases, acquired above- and below-market leases, tenant relationships, asset retirement obligations, mortgage notes payable and any goodwill or gain on purchase. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
The fair values of buildings and improvements are determined on an as-if-vacant basis. The estimated fair value of acquired in-place leases is the cost we would have incurred to lease the properties to the occupancy level of the properties at the date of acquisition. Such estimates include leasing commissions, legal costs and other direct costs that would be incurred to lease the properties to such occupancy levels. Additionally, we evaluate the time period over which such occupancy levels would be achieved. Such evaluation includes an estimate of the net market-based rental revenues and net operating costs (primarily consisting of real estate taxes, insurance and utilities) that would be incurred during the lease-up period. Acquired in-place leases as of the date of acquisition are amortized over the remaining lease terms.
Acquired above- and below-market lease values are recorded based on the present value (using interest rates that reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and management’s estimate of the market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases. The capitalized above- and below-market lease values are amortized as adjustments to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. We also include fixed rate renewal options in our calculation of the fair value of below-market leases and the periods over which such leases are amortized. If a tenant has a unilateral option to renew a below-market lease, we include such an option in the calculation of the fair value of such lease and the period over which the lease is amortized if we determine that the tenant has a financial incentive to exercise such option.
Management estimates the fair value of assumed mortgage notes payable based upon indications of then-current market pricing for similar types of debt with similar maturities. Assumed mortgage notes payable are initially recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and the difference between such estimated fair value and the note’s outstanding principal balance is amortized over the life of the mortgage note payable as an adjustment to interest expense.
F-7 |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—At times, we may use derivative instruments to manage exposure to variable interest rate risk. We generally enter into interest rate swaps to manage such risk. We enter into derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges, and we do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense as interest is incurred on the related variable rate debt. Our cash flow hedges become ineffective if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt instrument do not perfectly match, such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, calculation period and LIBOR rate. When ineffectiveness exists, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recognized in earnings in the period affected. Hedge ineffectiveness has not impacted earnings in the three months ended March 31, 2013, and we do not anticipate it will have a significant effect in the future. In addition, we evaluate the default risk of the counterparty by monitoring the credit worthiness of the counterparty. Derivative instruments and hedging activities require management to make judgments on the nature of its derivatives and their effectiveness as hedges. These judgments determine if the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a component of net loss or as a component of comprehensive loss and as a component of stockholders' equity on the consolidated balance sheets. While management believes its judgments are reasonable, a change in a derivative's effectiveness as a hedge could materially affect expenses, net income and equity.
Revenue Recognition—We commence revenue recognition on our leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. If we are the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete.
If we conclude that we are not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives, which reduces revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these circumstances, we begin revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space to construct their own improvements. We consider a number of different factors in evaluating whether we or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. These factors include:
• | whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent; |
• | whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements; |
• | the uniqueness of the improvements; |
• | the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease; and |
• | who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements. |
We recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts receivable. Due to the impact of the straight-line basis, rental income generally will be greater than the cash collected in the early years and will be less than the cash collected in the later years of a lease. Our policy for percentage rental income is to defer recognition of contingent rental income until the specified target (i.e. breakpoint) that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. We periodically review the collectability of outstanding receivables. Allowances will be taken for those balances that we deem to be uncollectible, including any amounts relating to straight-line rent receivables.
F-8 |
Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate tax and operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the period in which the applicable expenses are incurred. We make certain assumptions and judgments in estimating the reimbursements at the end of each reporting period. We do not expect the actual results to materially differ from the estimated reimbursements.
We record lease termination income if there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant is no longer occupying the property. Upon early lease termination, we provide for losses related to unrecovered tenant-specific intangibles and other assets.
Income Taxes—We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Our qualification and taxation as a REIT depends on our ability, on a continuing basis, to meet certain organizational and operational qualification requirements imposed upon REITs by the Code. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year, we will be subject to tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We would not be able to deduct distributions paid to stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify as a REIT. We will also be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions.
Noncontrolling Interests—Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets represent the economic equity interests of the Joint Venture that are not owned by us. Noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated statements of equity represent contributions, distributions and allocated earnings to the CBRE Investors. Noncontrolling interests in earnings of the Joint Venture in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss represents losses allocated to noncontrolling interests based on the economic ownership percentage of the consolidated Joint Venture held by these investors.
Earnings Per Share—Earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share considers the effect of any potentially dilutive share equivalents, of which we had none for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
There were 59,245 Class B units of the Operating Partnership outstanding as of March 31, 2013 that were excluded from diluted net loss per share computations as their effect would have been antidilutive.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. ASU 2012-04 was effective for us as of January 1, 2013. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by respective line items of net income if it is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety. For other reclassified amounts, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-02 were effective for us on January 1, 2013, and are to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this pronouncement did not materially impact our condensed consolidated financial statements, and no additional disclosures were required because no amounts were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

3. EQUITY
General—We have the authority to issue a total of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. As of March 31, 2013, we had issued 22,516,687 shares of common stock generating gross cash proceeds of $222.7 million, and we had issued no shares of preferred stock. The holders of shares of the common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including election of the board of directors. Our charter does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan—We have adopted the DRP that allows stockholders to have distributions invested in additional shares of our common stock at a price equal to $9.50 per share. Stockholders who elect to participate in the DRP, and who are subject to U.S. federal income taxation laws, will incur a tax liability on an amount equal to the fair value on the relevant distribution date of the shares of our common stock purchased with reinvested distributions, even though such stockholders have elected not to receive the distributions used to purchase those shares of common stock in cash. Distributions reinvested through the DRP for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, were $1,017,000 and $124,000, respectively.
Share Repurchase Program—Our share repurchase program may provide a limited opportunity for stockholders to have shares of common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, at a price equal to or at a discount from the purchase price paid for the shares being repurchased.
Repurchase of shares of common stock will be made monthly upon written notice received by us at least five days prior to the end of the applicable month. Stockholders may withdraw their repurchase request at any time up to five business days prior to the repurchase date.
The board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the share repurchase program at any time. If the board of directors decides to amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program, stockholders will be provided with no less than 30 days’ written notice. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no shares repurchased under the share repurchase program.
2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan—We have adopted a 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan which may be used to attract and retain officers, advisors, and consultants. We have not issued any shares under this plan as of March 31, 2013.
2010 Independent Director Stock Plan—We have also adopted an Amended and Restated 2010 Independent Director Stock Plan which may be used to offer independent directors an opportunity to participate in our growth through awards of shares of restricted common stock subject to time-based vesting. We have not issued any shares under this plan as of March 31, 2013.
4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement. Fair value is defined by ASC 820 as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1—Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
F-10 |
Level 3—Unobservable inputs, only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect our assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.
The following describes the methods we use to estimate the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses—We consider the carrying values of these financial instruments to approximate fair value because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization.
Real estate investments—The purchase prices of the investment properties, including related lease intangible assets and liabilities, were allocated at estimated fair value based on Level 3 inputs, such as discount rates, capitalization rates, comparable sales, replacement costs, income and expense growth rates and current market rents and allowances as determined by management.
Mortgage loans payable —We estimate the fair value of our debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by our lenders using Level 3 inputs. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, ranging from 2.45% to 2.70% for secured variable rate debt, 4.00% for secured fixed rate debt, and 4.70% for unsecured variable rate debt, as of March 31, 2013, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity and considering the debt’s collateral (if applicable). We have utilized market information as available or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. The fair values and recorded values of our borrowings as of March 31, 2013, were $252.1 million and $252.8 million, respectively. The fair values and recorded values of our borrowings as of December 31, 2012, were $158.7 million and $159.0 million, respectively.
Derivative instruments — As of March 31, 2013, we have an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $50.0 million that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The interest rate swap agreement effectively fixes the variable interest rate of a $50.0 million portion of our secured credit facility at 3.05% through December 2017. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swap associated with our cash flow hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense as interest is incurred on the related variable rate debt. Our cash flow hedge becomes partially ineffective if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt instrument do not perfectly match, such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, calculation period and LIBOR rate. When ineffectiveness exists, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swap associated with our cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings in the period affected. Hedge ineffectiveness has not impacted earnings as of March 31, 2013, and we do not anticipate it will have a significant effect in the future. In addition, we evaluate the default risk of the counterparty by monitoring the credit-worthiness of the counterparty.
The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is based on the estimated amount we would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the reporting date and is determined using interest rate pricing models and interest rate related observable inputs. The fair value of our interest rate swap at March 31, 2013 was a liability of $83,000 and is included in “derivative liability” on our consolidated balance sheet. The change in valuation on our interest rate swap was $83,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and is included in “accumulated other comprehensive loss”.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could realize on disposition of the financial assets and liabilities.

5. REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we acquired 11 grocery-anchored retail centers for a combined purchase price of approximately $163.9 million, including $36.6 million of assumed debt with a fair value of $39.4 million. We allocated the purchase price of these properties to the fair value of the assets acquired and lease liabilities assumed as follows (in thousands):
Category | Allocation | |||
Land | $ | 36,834 | ||
Building and improvements | 115,682 | |||
Acquired in-place leases | 8,900 | |||
Acquired above-market leases | 4,037 | |||
Acquired below-market leases | (1,602 | ) | ||
Total | $ | 163,851 |
The following information summarizes selected financial information from our combined results of operations, as if all of our acquisitions for 2012 and 2013 had been acquired on January 1, 2012.
We estimated that revenues, on a pro forma basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, would have been approximately $12.8 million and $12.5 million, respectively, and our net loss attributable to our stockholders, on a pro forma basis excluding acquisition expenses, would have been approximately $1.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The pro forma net loss per share excluding acquisition expenses would have been $0.09 and $0.03, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
This pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and may not be indicative of what actual results of operations would have been had the transactions occurred at the beginning of the period, nor does it purport to represent the results of future operations.

7. MORTGAGES AND LOANS PAYABLE
As of March 31, 2013, we had approximately $248.9 million of outstanding mortgage notes payable, inclusive of a below-market assumed debt adjustment of $4.6 million, and approximately $3.9 million of unsecured loans payable. As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately $159.0 million of outstanding mortgage notes payable, inclusive of a below-market assumed debt adjustment of $1.9 million. Each mortgage note payable is secured by the respective property on which the debt was placed. Certain of the mortgage notes allow us to generally make additional principal payments on the loan and draw those amounts back, not to exceed the initial loan amount, as needed. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the weighted-average interest rate for the loans was 3.71% and 3.58%, respectively.
As of March 31, 2013, excluding the below-market debt adjustment, we hold $106.4 million of our debt obligations through the Joint Venture, in which we have a 54% interest, and we hold $141.9 million of our debt obligations directly. We have an unsecured credit facility with $10.0 million of capacity, on which we have drawn $3.9 million as of March 31, 2013. We also have a $265.0 million secured revolving credit facility, which may be expanded to $300.0 million, with an outstanding principal balance of $85.9 million as of March 31, 2013, from which we may draw funds to pay certain long-term debt obligations as they mature. Of the amount outstanding on our mortgage notes payable at March 31, 2013, $23.1 million is for loans which mature in 2013. We have one-year extension options on $19.2 million of such loans maturing in 2013, subject to extension fees and compliance with loan covenants, and we have repaid $3.9 million of the loans maturing in 2013. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our leverage ratio, or the ratio of total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, to total real estate investments, at cost, was approximately 51.1% and 48.5%, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, in conjunction with our acquisition of three real estate properties, we assumed debt of $36.6 million with a fair value of $39.4 million. The assumed debt market adjustment will be amortized over the remaining life of the loans. The amortization recorded on the assumed below-market debt adjustment was $164,000 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Sponsor Organization and Offering Costs
As of March 31, 2013, in addition to the accounts payable to affiliates, there is approximately $4.2 million of offering costs incurred by the Sub-advisor since inception on our behalf that have not been charged to us. Organization and offering cost reimbursements may not exceed 1.5% of the gross proceeds raised through our offering. Whether these costs incurred by the Sub-advisor will be billed is dependent upon the success of our offering and the discretion of the Sub-advisor.
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to litigation or claims. There are no material legal proceedings pending, or known to be contemplated, against us.
Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, we may be potentially liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. We have not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and we are not aware of any other environmental condition that we believe will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
F-15 |
Operating Lease
We lease land under a long-term lease at one property, which was acquired in 2011. Total rental expense for the lease was $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. Minimum rental commitments under the noncancelable term of the lease as of March 31, 2013 are as follows: (i) April 1 to December 31, 2013, $15,000; (ii) 2014, $20,000; (iii) 2015, $20,000; (iv) 2016, $20,000; and (v) 2017, $17,000.
10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Advisory Agreement—Pursuant to our advisory agreement, the Advisor is entitled to specified fees for certain services, including managing our day-to-day activities and implementing our investment strategy. The Advisor has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with the Sub-advisor, which manages our day-to-day affairs and our portfolio of real estate investments, subject to the board’s supervision and certain major decisions requiring the consent of both the Advisor and Sub-advisor. The expenses to be reimbursed to the Advisor and Sub-advisor will be reimbursed in proportion to the amount of expenses incurred on our behalf by the Advisor and Sub-advisor, respectively.
Organization and Offering Costs—Under the terms of the advisory agreement, we are to reimburse on a monthly basis the Advisor, the Sub-advisor or their respective affiliates for cumulative organization and offering costs and future organization and offering costs they may incur on our behalf but only to the extent that the reimbursement would not exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds over the life of our offering. As of March 31, 2013, the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates have charged us approximately $11.3 million of organization and offering costs, and we have reimbursed $9.1 million of such costs, resulting in a net payable of $2.2 million. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, approximately $4.2 million of offering costs incurred by the Sub-advisor since inception on our behalf has not been charged to us or been recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Whether these costs incurred by the Sub-advisor will be billed is dependent upon the success of our offering and the discretion of the Sub-advisor. As of December 31, 2012, the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates had charged us approximately $7.2 million of organization and offering costs, and we had reimbursed $4.2 million of such costs, resulting in a net payable of $3.0 million.
Acquisition Fee—We pay the Advisor an acquisition fee related to services provided in connection with the selection and purchase or origination of real estate and real estate-related investments. The acquisition fee is equal to 1.0% of the cost of investments we acquire or originate, including acquisition or origination expenses and any debt attributable to such investments. We incurred acquisition fees payable to the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates of $1,648,000 and $64,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 in connection with our property acquisitions. The amount of these acquisition fees outstanding and payable by us as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $0 and $191,000, respectively.
Asset Management Fee— On February 4, 2013, we and the Operating Partnership entered into an Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “A&R Advisory Agreement”) with the Advisor. The A&R Advisory Agreement provides that the asset management compensation structure contemplated in the previous advisory agreement between us and the Advisor (as discussed above) is eliminated effective October 1, 2012. Instead, we issue to the Advisor on a quarterly basis performance-based restricted partnership units of the Operating Partnership designated as “Class B units.” The Class B units will vest, and will no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as all of the following events occur: (x) the value of the Operating Partnership’s assets plus all distributions made equals or exceeds the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return thereon (the “economic hurdle”); (y) any one of the following occurs: (1) the termination of the A&R Advisory Agreement by an affirmative vote of a majority of our independent directors without cause; (2) a listing event; or (3) another liquidity event; and (z) the Advisor is still providing advisory services to us (the “service condition”). Such Class B units will be forfeited immediately if: (a) the A&R Advisory Agreement is terminated for cause; or (b) the A&R Advisory Agreement is terminated by an affirmative vote of a majority of our independent directors without cause before the economic hurdle has been met. The Class B units are participating securities that receive distributions at the same rates and dates as the distributions paid to our common stockholders. These distributions are calculated as the product of the number of unvested units issued to date and the stated distribution rate at the time such distribution is authorized. Distributions for outstanding unvested units incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $4,000.
F-16 |
On February 13, 2013, the Operating Partnership issued 59,245 Class B units to the Advisor under the A&R Advisory Agreement for the asset management services performed by the Advisor during the period from October 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012. On April 18, 2013, the Operating Partnership issued 104,372 Class B units to the Advisor under the A&R Advisory Agreement for the asset management services performed by the Advisor during the period from January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013. These Class B units will not vest until the conditions referenced above have been met.
Prior to October 1, 2012, we paid the Advisor an asset management fee for the asset management services it provides pursuant to the advisory agreement. The asset management fee, payable monthly in arrears (based on assets we held during the previous month) was equal to 0.08333% of the sum of the cost of all real estate and real estate-related investments we owned and of our investments in joint ventures, including certain expenses and any debt attributable to such investments. However, the Advisor reimbursed all or a portion of the asset management fee for any applicable period to the extent that as of the date of the payment, our modified funds from operations (as defined in accordance with the then-current practice guidelines issued by the Investment Program Association with an additional adjustment to add back capital contribution amounts received from the Sub-advisor or an affiliate thereof, without any corresponding issuance of equity to the Sub-advisor or its affiliate), during the quarter were not at least equal to our declared distributions during the quarter. We could not avoid payment of an asset management fee by raising our distribution rate beyond $0.65 per share on an annualized basis.
The CBRE Investors will continue to pay asset management fees in cash pursuant to the advisory agreement between the Joint Venture and the Advisor (the “JV Advisory Agreement”). Total asset management fees incurred under the JV Advisory Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $249,000 and $217,000, respectively, with $0 and $118,000 of these fees being waived or reimbursed by the Advisor and Sub-advisor. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the net asset management fees of $249,000 and $99,000, respectively, were paid by the CBRE Investors to the Advisor and Sub-advisor. The amount of these asset management fees outstanding and payable by the CBRE Investors as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $249,000 and $248,000, respectively.
Financing Fee—We pay the Advisor or Sub-advisor a financing fee equal to 0.75% of all amounts made available under any loan or line of credit. We incurred financing fees payable to the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates of $1,958,000 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There were no financing fees outstanding and payable as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Disposition Fee—For substantial assistance by the Advisor, Sub-advisor or any of their affiliates in connection with the sale of properties or other investments, we will pay the Advisor or its assignee 2.0% of the contract sales price of each property or other investment sold. The conflicts committee will determine whether the Advisor, Sub-advisor or their respective affiliates have provided substantial assistance to us in connection with the sale of an asset. Substantial assistance in connection with the sale of a property includes the Advisor’s or Sub-advisor’s preparation of an investment package for the property (including an investment analysis, rent rolls, tenant information regarding credit, a property title report, an environmental report, a structural report and exhibits) or such other substantial services performed by the Advisor or Sub-advisor in connection with a sale. However, if we sell an asset to an affiliate, our organizational documents will prohibit us from paying the Advisor a disposition fee. There were no disposition fees incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, as we did not sell any of our properties during such periods.
General and Administrative Expenses—As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we owed the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates $29,000 and $2,000 for general and administrative expenses paid on our behalf, respectively. As of March 31, 2013, the Advisor, Sub-advisor and their affiliates have not allocated any portion of their employees’ salaries to general and administrative expenses.
Subordinated Participation in Net Sales Proceeds—The Operating Partnership will pay to PECO-ARC Special Limited Partner, LLC (the “Special Limited Partner”) a subordinated participation in the net sales proceeds of the sale of real estate assets equal to 15.0% of remaining net sales proceeds after return of capital contributions to stockholders plus payment to investors of a 7.0% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded return on the capital contributed by stockholders. The Advisor has a 15.0% interest and the Sub-advisor has an 85.0% interest in the Special Limited Partner. No sales of real estate assets occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Subordinated Incentive Listing Fee—The Operating Partnership will pay to the Special Limited Partner a subordinated incentive listing distribution of 15.0% of the amount by which the market value of all of our issued and outstanding common stock plus distributions exceeds the aggregate capital contributed by stockholders plus an amount equal to a 7.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded annual return to stockholders.
Neither the Special Limited Partner nor any of its affiliates can earn both the subordinated participation in the net sales proceeds and the subordinated incentive listing distribution. No subordinated incentive listing fee was payable for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Subordinated Distribution Upon Termination of the Advisor Agreement—Upon termination or non-renewal of the A&R Advisory Agreement, the Special Limited Partner shall be entitled to a subordinated termination fee in the form of a non-interest bearing promissory note equal to 15.0% of the amount by which the cost of our assets plus distributions exceeds the aggregate capital contributed by stockholders plus an amount equal to a 7.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded annual return to stockholders. In addition, the Special Limited Partner may elect to defer its right to receive a subordinated distribution upon termination until either a listing on a national securities exchange or other liquidity event occurs.
Property Manager—All of our real properties are managed and leased by Phillips Edison & Company Ltd. (the “Property Manager”), an affiliated property manager. The Property Manager is wholly owned by our Phillips Edison sponsor and was organized on September 15, 1999. The Property Manager also manages real properties acquired by the Phillips Edison affiliates or other third parties.
We pay to the Property Manager monthly property management fees equal to 4.5% of the gross cash receipts of the properties managed by the Property Manager. In the event that we contract directly with a non-affiliated third-party property manager with respect to a property, we will pay the Property Manager a monthly oversight fee equal to 1.0% of the gross revenues of the property managed. In addition to the property management fee or oversight fee, if the Property Manager provides leasing services with respect to a property, we will pay the Property Manager leasing fees in an amount equal to the leasing fees charged by unaffiliated persons rendering comparable services in the same geographic location of the applicable property. We will reimburse the costs and expenses incurred by the Property Manager on our behalf, including legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses that are directly related to the management of specific properties, as well as fees and expenses of third-party accountants.
If we engage the Property Manager to provide construction management services with respect to a particular property, we will pay a construction management fee in an amount that is usual and customary for comparable services rendered to similar projects in the geographic market of the property.
The Property Manager hires, directs and establishes policies for employees who have direct responsibility for the operations of each real property it manages, which may include, but is not limited to, on-site managers and building and maintenance personnel. Certain employees of the Property Manager may be employed on a part-time basis and may also be employed by the Sub-advisor or certain of its affiliates. The Property Manager also directs the purchase of equipment and supplies and will supervise all maintenance activity.
