EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 of Excel Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Excel Trust, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership of which Excel Trust, Inc. is the parent company and general partner. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “we,” “our,” “us” or “the Company” refer to Excel Trust, Inc., together with its controlled and consolidated subsidiaries, including Excel Trust, L.P. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the “Operating Partnership” refer to Excel Trust, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and its controlled and consolidated subsidiaries.

Excel Trust, Inc. is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2013, Excel Trust, Inc. owned an approximate 97.5% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 2.5% partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain of our directors and executive officers. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Excel Trust, Inc. exercises exclusive and complete discretion over the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management and control, can cause it to enter into certain major transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions and refinancings, and can cause changes in its line of business, capital structure and distribution policies.

There are a few differences between Excel Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, which are reflected in the disclosures in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between Excel Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership in the context of how Excel Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. Excel Trust, Inc. is a REIT, whose only material asset is the partnership interests it holds in the Operating Partnership. As a result, Excel Trust, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership owns substantially all of the assets of the Company either directly or through its subsidiaries, conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a limited partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by Excel Trust, Inc., which it is required to contribute to the Operating Partnership in exchange for operating partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, by the Operating Partnership’s incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of operating partnership units.

Non-controlling interests and stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of Excel Trust, Inc. and those of Excel Trust, L.P. The partnership interests in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by Excel Trust, Inc. are accounted for as limited partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and as non-controlling interests in Excel Trust, Inc.’s financial statements. The non-controlling interests in Excel Trust, L.P.’s financial statements include the interests of its joint venture partner AB Dothan, LLC. The non-controlling interests in Excel Trust, Inc.’s financial statements include the same non-controlling interests as Excel Trust, L.P., as well as the owners of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, not including Excel Trust, Inc. The differences between stockholders’ equity, partners’ capital and non-controlling interests result from the differences in the equity issued at the Excel Trust, Inc. and Operating Partnership levels.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Excel Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:

• Combined reports better reflect how management and the analyst community view the business as a single operating unit;

• Combined reports enhance investors’ understanding of Excel Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management;

• Combined reports are more efficient for Excel Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership and result in savings in time, effort and expense; and

• Combined reports are more efficient for investors by reducing duplicative disclosure and providing a single document for their review.

1

To help investors understand the significant differences between Excel Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of Excel Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership:

• consolidated financial statements;

• the following notes to the consolidated financial statements:

• Equity/Partners’ Capital;

• Debt; and

• Earnings per Share/Unit;

• Liquidity and Capital Resources in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and;

• Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

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

EXCEL TRUST, INC. AND EXCEL TRUST, L.P.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Organization:

Excel Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Parent Company”), is a vertically integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate firm with the principal objective of acquiring, financing, developing, leasing, owning and managing value oriented community and power centers, grocery anchored neighborhood centers and freestanding retail properties. It conducts substantially all of its business through its subsidiary, Excel Trust, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and together with the Parent Company referred to as the “Company”). The Company seeks investment opportunities throughout the United States, but focuses on the Northeast, Northwest and Sunbelt regions. The Company generally leases anchor space to national and regional supermarket chains, big-box retailers and select national retailers that frequently offer necessity and value oriented items and generate regular consumer traffic.

The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of June 30, 2013, owned a 97.5% interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 2.5% interest in the Operating Partnership is held by limited partners. Each partner’s percentage interest in the Operating Partnership is determined based on the number of common operating partnership units (“OP units”) owned as compared to total OP units (and potentially issuable OP units, as applicable) outstanding as of each period end and is used as the basis for the allocation of net income or loss to each partner.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include all the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and have not been audited by independent registered public accountants.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto in the Parent Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the Operating Partnership’s Registration Statement on Form 10. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods have been made. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, for which cost approximates fair value, due to their short term maturities.

Restricted Cash:

Restricted cash is comprised of impound reserve accounts for property taxes, insurance, capital improvements and tenant improvements.

Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities:

Included in accounts payable and other liabilities are deferred rents in the amount of $3.6 million and $4.4 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

13

Revenue Recognition:

The Company commences revenue recognition on its 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. In determining what constitutes the leased asset, the Company evaluates whether the Company or the lessee is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements. If the Company is 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 the Company concludes that it is 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 reduce revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective lease. In these circumstances, the Company begins revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct improvements. The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements is highly subjective and determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. The Company considers a number of different factors to evaluate whether it 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;

• the responsible party for construction cost overruns; and

• who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements.

Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease. The difference between the amount of cash rent due in a year and the amount recorded as rental income is referred to as the “straight-line rent adjustment.” Rental income (net of write-offs for uncollectible amounts) increased by $1.1 million and $589,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $2.0 million and $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, due to the straight-line rent adjustment. Percentage rent is recognized after tenant sales have exceeded defined thresholds (if applicable) and was $185,000 and $153,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $570,000 and $361,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Estimated recoveries from certain tenants for their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred or as specified in the leases. Other tenants pay a fixed rate and these tenant recoveries are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases.

Property:

Costs incurred in connection with the development or construction of properties and improvements are capitalized. Capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes and related costs and other direct costs incurred during the period of development. The Company capitalizes costs on land and buildings under development until construction is substantially complete and the property is held available for occupancy. The determination of when a development project is substantially complete and when capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The Company considers a construction project as substantially complete and held available for occupancy upon the completion of landlord-owned tenant improvements or when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for construction of its own improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. The Company ceases capitalization on the portion substantially completed and occupied or held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with any remaining portion under construction. In March 2012, the Company reclassified the majority of construction in progress costs relating to two non-operating properties into the corresponding buildings, site improvements and tenant improvements financial statement line items upon substantial completion of development activities.

Maintenance and repairs expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Costs for major replacements and betterments, which include HVAC equipment, roofs, parking lots, etc., are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Gains and losses are recognized upon disposal or retirement of the related assets and are reflected in earnings.

Property is recorded at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets as follows:

Building and improvements	15 to 40 years
Tenant improvements	Shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the related leases

14

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed:

The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. This assessment considers expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include the tenants’ ability to perform their duties and pay rent under the terms of the leases. The determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense, expected to result from the long-lived asset’s use and eventual disposition. The Company’s evaluation as to whether impairment may exist, including estimates of future anticipated cash flows, are highly subjective and could differ materially from actual results in future periods. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flows analysis, with the carrying value of the related assets. Although the Company’s strategy is to hold its properties over a long-term period, if the strategy changes or market conditions dictate that the sale of properties at an earlier date would be preferable, a property may be classified as held for sale and an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. There was no impairment recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012.

Investments in Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies:

The Company evaluates its investments in limited liability companies and partnerships to determine whether such entities may be a VIE and, if a VIE, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. Generally, an entity is determined to be a VIE when either (1) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties or (2) as a group, the holders of the equity investment lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (1) the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company considers a variety of factors in identifying the entity that holds the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance including, but not limited to, the ability to direct financing, leasing, construction and other operating decisions and activities. In addition, the Company considers the form of ownership interest, voting interest, the size of the investment (including loans) and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions, to replace or remove the manager and to liquidate or sell the entity. The obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits when a reporting entity is affiliated with a VIE must be based on ownership, contractual, and/or other pecuniary interests in that VIE.

If the foregoing conditions do not apply, the Company considers whether a general partner or managing member controls a limited partnership or limited liability company. The general partner in a limited partnership or managing member in a limited liability company is presumed to control that limited partnership or limited liability company. The presumption may be overcome if the limited partners or members have either (1) the substantive ability to dissolve the limited partnership or limited liability company or otherwise remove the general partner or managing member without cause or (2) substantive participating rights, which provide the limited partners or members with the ability to effectively participate in significant decisions that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of the limited partnership’s or limited liability company’s business and thereby preclude the general partner or managing member from exercising unilateral control over the partnership or company. If these criteria are not met and the Company is the general partner or the managing member, as applicable, the Company will consolidate the partnership or limited liability company.

Investments that are not consolidated, over which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s portion of earnings or losses and for cash contributions and distributions. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s investment is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and its share of net income or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Share-Based Payments:

All share-based payments to employees are recognized in earnings based on their fair value on the date of grant. Through June 30, 2013, the Company has awarded only restricted stock awards under its incentive award plan, which are based on shares of the Parent Company’s common stock. The fair value of equity awards that include only service or performance vesting conditions is determined based on the closing market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of equity awards that include one or more market vesting conditions is determined based on the use of a widely accepted valuation model. The fair value of equity grants is amortized to general and administrative expense ratably over the requisite service period for awards that include only service vesting conditions and utilizing a graded vesting method (an accelerated vesting method in which the majority of compensation expense is recognized in earlier periods) for awards that include one or more market vesting conditions, adjusted for anticipated forfeitures.

Purchase Accounting:

The Company, with the assistance of independent valuation specialists as needed, records the purchase price of acquired properties as tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets (building and land) are recorded based upon the Company’s determination of the value of the property as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow models similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. The fair value of land is derived from comparable sales of land within the same submarket and/or region. The fair value of buildings and improvements, tenant improvements, site improvements and leasing costs are based upon current market replacement costs and other relevant market rate information. Additionally, the purchase price of the applicable property is recorded as the above- or below-market value of in-place leases, the value of in-place leases and above- or below-market value of debt assumed, as applicable.

The value recorded as the above- or below-market component of the acquired in-place leases is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between: (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (2) the Company’s estimate of the amounts that would be paid using fair market rates at the time of acquisition over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts recorded as above-market leases are included in lease intangible assets, net in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable lease term of the acquired leases with each property. The amounts recorded as below-market lease values are included in lease intangible liabilities, net in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable lease term plus any below-market fixed price renewal options of the acquired leases with each property.

The value recorded as above- or below-market debt is determined based upon the present value of the difference between the cash flow stream of the assumed mortgage and the cash flow stream of a market rate mortgage. The amounts recorded as above- or below-market debt are included in mortgage payables, net in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the assumed mortgage.

Tenant receivables:

Tenant receivables and deferred rent are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible current tenant receivables and deferred rent. An allowance is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants to meet the contractual obligations under their lease agreements. The Company maintains an allowance for deferred rent receivable arising from the straight-lining of rents. Such allowances are charged to bad debt expense which is included in other operating expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company’s determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, the tenant’s financial condition, security deposits, letters of credit, lease guarantees, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $920,000 and $719,000, respectively, in allowances for uncollectible accounts as determined to be necessary to reduce receivables to the estimate of the amount recoverable. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, $104,000 and $148,000, respectively, of receivables were charged to bad debt expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, $442,000 and $395,000, respectively, of receivables were charged to bad debt expense.

Non-controlling Interests:

Non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets of the Parent Company relate to the OP units that are not owned by the Parent Company. The OP units not held by the Parent Company may be redeemed by the Parent Company at the holder’s option for cash. The Parent Company, at its option, may satisfy the redemption obligation with common stock on a one-for-one basis, which has been further evaluated to determine that permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate.

In October 2012, the Operating Partnership issued 411,184 OP units in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the West Broad Village property. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, a total of 19,904 OP units related to the Edwards Theatres acquisition were tendered to the Company for redemption, resulting in the issuance of 22,074 shares of common stock by the Parent Company (an equivalent number of OP units were issued by the Operating Partnership to the Parent Company). The OP units were redeemed for common stock on a one-for-one basis, with additional common stock provided as a result of the accompanying additional redemption obligation that guaranteed consideration equal to $14.00 per OP unit on the date of redemption. The remaining additional redemption obligation of $246,000 associated with the Edwards Theatres acquisition expired on March 11, 2013 and was reclassified and recognized as a gain in changes in fair value of financial instruments and gain on OP unit redemption (net of a loss of $16,000 on the OP unit redemption) on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2013, 172,869 OP units related to the Edwards Theatres acquisition remained outstanding, which continue to be redeemable by the OP unitholders for cash or common stock on a one-for-one basis (the determination of redemption for cash or common stock is at the Parent Company’s option).

Non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership represent the portion of equity that the Operating Partnership does not own in those entities it consolidates.

16

Concentration of Risk:

The Company maintains its cash accounts in a number of commercial banks. Accounts at these banks are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At various times during the periods, the Company had deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, no tenant accounted for more than 10% of revenues.

At June 30, 2013, the Company’s gross real estate assets in the states of California, Arizona and Virginia represented approximately 22.0%, 18.2% and 16.3% of the Company’s total assets, respectively. At December 31, 2012, the Company’s gross real estate assets in the states of Arizona, California and Virginia represented approximately 16.6%, 16.5% and 14.6% of the Company’s total assets, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company’s revenues derived from properties located in the states of California, Arizona, Virginia and Texas represented approximately 21.5%, 18.9%, 12.0% and 10.6% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company’s revenues derived from properties located in the states of California, Arizona, Alabama and Texas represented approximately 29.9%, 21.5%, 10.8% and 10.7% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively.

Management Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The Company measures financial instruments and other items at fair value where required under GAAP, but has elected not to measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair value as permitted under fair value option accounting guidance.

Fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, there is a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company has used interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk (see Note 11). The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives classified as cash flow hedges fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2013, the Company has determined that the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions is not significant. As a result, the Company has determined that its valuations related to derivatives classified as cash flow hedges in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 19).

17

Changes in the fair value of financial instruments (other than derivative instruments for which an effective hedging relationship exists and available-for-sale securities) are recorded as a charge against earnings in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they occur. The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments at least quarterly based on current facts and circumstances, projected cash flows, quoted market prices and other criteria (primarily utilizing Level 3 inputs). The Company may also utilize the services of independent third-party valuation experts to estimate the fair value of financial instruments, as necessary.

The Company’s investments in equity securities fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as the Company utilizes observable market-based inputs, based on the closing trading price of securities as of the balance sheet date, to determine the fair value of the investments.

Derivative Instruments:

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, from time to time the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.

In addition, from time to time the Company may execute agreements in connection with business combinations that include embedded derivative instruments as part of the consideration provided to the sellers of the properties. Although these embedded derivative instruments are not intended as hedges of risks faced by the Company, they can provide additional consideration to the Company’s selling counterparties and may be a key component of negotiations.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The Company records all derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. In determining the fair value of derivative instruments, the Company also considers the credit risk of its counterparties, which typically constitute larger financial institutions engaged in providing a wide variety of financial services. These financial institutions generally face similar risks regarding changes in market and economic conditions, including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, exchange rates, equity and commodity pricing and credit spreads.

Accounting for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether it has been designated as a hedging instrument and whether the hedging relationship has continued to satisfy the criteria to apply hedge accounting. For derivative instruments qualifying as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value is initially recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in the cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in the cash flows of the hedged item or transaction.

The Company formally documents the hedging relationship for all derivative instruments, has accounted for its interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges and does not utilize derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Revision to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Subsequent to the issuance of the Parent Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Parent Company determined that a cash outflow related to a contingent consideration payment in the six months ended June 30, 2012 should have been reflected as a cash outflow from financing activities rather than operating activities within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The Parent Company reviewed the impact of this correction with respect to the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements and determined that the correction was not material. However, the Parent Company has revised the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to reflect this correction in the prior period. The effect of the correction to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is an increase to cash flows provided by operating activities from an original balance of $16.6 million to a corrected balance of $18.2 million and a decrease to cash flows provided by financing activities from an original balance of $62.9 million to a corrected balance of $61.3 million (a total change of approximately $1.6 million). This correction had no effect on previously reported revenues, net loss, assets or equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”). The amendments in this update provide an entity with the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired to determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. ASU 2012-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 on January 1, 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). The amendments in this update require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income by the net income line item. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 on January 1, 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

⁽¹⁾ The purchase price of $52.3 million reflects $13.9 million in cash paid and the issuance of 3,230,769 shares of common stock with a fair value of approximately $39.1 million based on a closing price of $12.11 per share on the date of acquisition. The purchase price noted above is net of master lease agreements between the Company and the seller in the amount of $772,000 (included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets) based on the estimated fair value of funds expected to be received from escrow in connection with the acquisition. Payments under the master lease agreements commence upon the expiration of two existing leases in June 2012 and February 2013 (with terms through May 2013 and January 2015, respectively) unless the related spaces are re-leased with base rents equaling or exceeding the master lease payments. In addition, the seller has agreed to reimburse the Company for any expenditures resulting from tenant improvements or leasing commissions related to the spaces to the extent that funds remain available pertaining to the master lease agreements. See Note 19 for a discussion of changes in the fair value of this asset after the initial acquisition.

⁽²⁾ This property was originally purchased as a consolidated property. However, in September 2012 the La Costa Town Center property was contributed in exchange for proceeds of approximately $21.2 million to a newly-formed entity in which the Company holds a 20% ownership interest (see Note 14). The Company accounts for its remaining equity ownership in the property in a manner similar to the equity method of accounting, which is reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as an investment in unconsolidated entities.

The Company recorded revenues and a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $746,000 and $10,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $1.3 million and $12,000, respectively, related to the 2013 acquisition. The Company recorded revenues and net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 of $3.5 million and $36,000, respectively, and recorded revenues and a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $7.0 million and $12,000, respectively, related to the 2012 acquisitions.

The following unaudited pro forma information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 has been prepared to reflect the incremental effect of the properties acquired in 2013 and 2012, as if such acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2012 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012			June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012
Revenues	$	27,463	$	22,112		$	55,113	$	44,106
Net income (loss)(1)	$	3,472	$	(95	)	$	3,840	$	242

⁽¹⁾ Pro forma results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were adjusted to exclude non-recurring acquisition costs of approximately $57,000 related to the 2013 acquisition. The pro forma results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were adjusted to include these costs relating to the 2013 acquisition. A portion of the 2012 acquisitions were funded with proceeds from the offering of 8.125% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series B preferred stock”) that closed in January 2012. However, pro forma net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is not adjusted for this funding as the assumed Series B preferred stock quarterly dividends of approximately $1.9 million are not included in the determination of net income (included only as a reduction of net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders).

At June 30, 2013, the allocation of purchase price to tangible and intangible assets for all 2012 and 2013 acquisitions had been completed with the exception of one item pertaining to the Company’s acquisition of the West Broad Village property. In connection with the acquisition of this property, the Company received a credit at closing in the amount of $450,000 (recorded as a liability) representing the estimated amount due to the property’s tenants for prior periods in which the landlord had not yet completed a reconciliation of common area maintenance expenses. The seller had not provided the Company with the information necessary to complete the reconciliations as of June 30, 2013, but the Company expects to receive the necessary information prior to September 30, 2013.

6. Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

Included within the condensed consolidated financial statements is the 50% owned joint venture with AB Dothan, LLC, that is deemed a VIE, and for which the Company is the primary beneficiary as it has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE. The joint venture’s activities principally consist of owning and operating a neighborhood retail center with 171,670 square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) located in Dothan, Alabama.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, total carrying amount of assets was approximately $15.7 million and $15.9 million, respectively, which includes approximately $13.5 million and $13.6 million, respectively, of real estate assets at the end of each period. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total carrying amount of liabilities was approximately $14.3 million.

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

On December 9, 2010, the Company loaned $2.0 million to an unaffiliated borrower which has been identified as a VIE. In June 2012, the counterparty repaid the loan in full. The Company did not consolidate the VIE because it did not have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impacted the VIE’s economic performance. See Note 7 for an additional description of the nature, purposes and activities of the Company’s VIE and interests therein.

7. Mortgage Loan and Note Receivable

On December 9, 2010, the Company loaned $2.0 million to an unaffiliated borrower. The proceeds were used to facilitate the land acquisition and development of a shopping center anchored by Publix in Brandon, Florida. The loan was secured with a second mortgage trust deed on the property and was personally guaranteed by members of the borrower. In June 2012, the mortgage loan receivable was repaid in full, including interest accrued through the date of repayment.

In connection with the loan, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire this property upon completion of development, at the Company’s election. In June 2012, the Company executed an amendment whereby the closing date for the potential acquisition was extended through December 31, 2012. On October 1, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of the retail shopping center with 68,000 square feet of GLA in Brandon, Florida for a purchase price of approximately $13.1 million.

In June 2012, the Company extended a note receivable in the amount of $750,000 to a third party. The note receivable bears interest at 10.0% per annum, with the principal and accrued interest due upon maturity in June 2014. The loan is recourse to the borrower. The balance is included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

8. Debt

Debt of the Parent Company

The Parent Company does not directly hold any indebtedness. All of the Company’s debt is held directly or indirectly by the Operating Partnership. However, the Parent Company has guaranteed the Operating Partnership’s mortgage loan secured by the Red Rock Commons property, a portion of the Operating Partnership’s mortgage loan secured by the Park West Place property and the Operating Partnership’s unsecured revolving credit facility (including the letter of credit that secures the redevelopment revenue bonds at the Northside Mall property).

⁽¹⁾ Amount represents the monthly payment of principal and interest at June 30, 2013.

⁽²⁾ The loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% (variable interest rate of 2.50% at each of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012). In December 2010, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts, which fix LIBOR at an average of 1.41% for the term of the loan. The maturity date may be extended for an additional one-year period through December 2014 at the Company’s option and upon the satisfaction of conditions precedent and the payment of an extension fee.

⁽³⁾ The maturity date for the Red Rock Commons construction loan was extended to March 2014 and may be extended for an additional one-year period through March 2015 at the Company’s option and upon the satisfaction of conditions precedent and the payment of an extension fee. The construction loan bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 165 basis points to 225 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio (variable interest rate of 1.90% at June 30, 2013 and 2.45% at December 31, 2012).

⁽⁴⁾ The loan at the West Broad Village property was refinanced in April 2013 and bears a fixed rate of 3.33% with a new maturity date of May 1, 2020. Debt payments are interest-only through May 2016.

⁽⁵⁾ The debt represents redevelopment revenue bonds to be used for the redevelopment of this property, which mature in November 2035. Interest is reset weekly and determined by the bond remarketing agent based on the market value of the bonds (interest rate of 0.07% at June 30, 2013 and 0.14% at December 31, 2012). The interest rate on the bonds is currently priced off of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association index but could change based on the credit of the bonds. The bonds are secured by a $12.1 million letter of credit issued by the Company from the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. An underwriter’s discount related to the original issuance of the bonds with a remaining balance of $107,000 and $110,000 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, will be amortized as additional interest expense through November 2035.

⁽⁶⁾ Represents (a) the fair value adjustment on assumed debt on acquired properties at the time of acquisition to account for below- or above-market interest rates and (b) an underwriter’s discount for the issuance of redevelopment bonds.

Total interest cost capitalized for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $16,000 and $29,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $16,000 and $139,000, respectively.

The Company’s mortgage debt maturities at June 30, 2013 for each of the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On July 20, 2012, the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, which provided an increase in borrowings available under its credit facility to $250.0 million, decreased the fees pertaining to the unused capacity depending on utilization of the borrowing capacity, decreased the applicable interest rate and extended the maturity date. The Operating Partnership has the ability from time to time to increase the size of the unsecured revolving credit facility by up to an additional $200.0 million for a total borrowing capacity of $450.0 million, subject to receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. The amended maturity date is July 19, 2016 and may be extended for one additional year at the Operating Partnership’s option. The Operating Partnership, among other things, is subject to covenants requiring the maintenance of (1) maximum leverage ratios on unsecured, secured and overall debt and (2) minimum fixed coverage ratios. At June 30, 2013, the Operating Partnership believes that it was in compliance with all the covenants in the credit agreement.

The unsecured revolving credit facility bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 165 basis points to 225 basis points, depending on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio. The Operating Partnership also pays a fee of 0.25% or 0.35% for any unused portion of the unsecured revolving credit facility, depending on the Operating Partnership’s utilization of the borrowing capacity. Borrowings from the unsecured revolving credit facility were $109.0 million at June 30, 2013 at a weighted-average interest rate of 1.85%. The Operating Partnership issued a $12.1 million letter of credit from the unsecured revolving credit facility, which secures an outstanding $12.0 million bond payable for the Northside Mall. This bond is included with the mortgages payable on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2013, there was approximately $128.8 million available for borrowing under the unsecured revolving credit facility.

9. Earnings Per Share of the Parent Company

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding, as adjusted for the effect of participating securities. The Parent Company’s unvested restricted share awards are participating securities as they contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. The impact of unvested restricted share awards on earnings (loss) per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends and the unvested restricted shares’ participation rights in undistributed earnings (losses).

24

The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 does not include 694,633 and 697,162 shares, respectively, of unvested restricted common stock or 1,225,115 and 1,233,143 OP units, respectively, as the effect of including these equity securities was anti-dilutive to net income or net loss attributable to the common stockholders. The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 does not include 933,487 and 961,704 shares, respectively, of unvested restricted common stock, 79,215 and 90,667 shares, respectively, of contingently issuable common stock related to the 2011 Edwards Theatres acquisition, or 1,205,303 and 1,299,035 OP units, respectively, as the effect of including these equity securities was anti-dilutive to net loss attributable to the common stockholders. In addition, 3,333,400 common shares issuable upon settlement of the conversion feature of the 7.00% Series A Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series A preferred stock”) were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share based on the “if converted” method for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands, except share data) were as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

10. Earnings Per Unit of the Operating Partnership

Basic earnings (loss) per unit is computed by dividing income (loss) applicable to unitholders by the weighted average OP units outstanding, as adjusted for the effect of participating securities. The Operating Partnership’s unvested restricted OP unit awards are participating securities as they contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. The impact of unvested restricted OP unit awards on earnings (loss) per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted OP unit awards based on distributions and the unvested restricted OP units’ participation rights in undistributed earnings (losses).

The calculation of diluted earnings per unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 does not include 694,633 and 697,162 units, respectively, of unvested restricted OP units, as the effect of including these equity securities was anti-dilutive to net income or net loss attributable to the unitholders. The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 does not include 933,487 and 961,704 units, respectively, of unvested restricted OP units, or 79,215 and 90,667 units, respectively, of contingently issuable OP units related to the 2011 Edwards Theatres acquisition, respectively, as the effect of including these equity securities was anti-dilutive to net loss attributable to the common stockholders. In addition, 3,333,400 OP units issuable upon settlement of the conversion feature of the 7.00% Series A Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Units (“Series A preferred units”) were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per unit based on the “if converted” method for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

11. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

In December 2010, the Company executed two pay-fixed interest rate swaps with a notional value of $55.8 million (weighted average interest rate of 1.41%) to hedge the variable cash flows associated with one of the Company’s mortgage payables. As a result of the interest rate swaps, the Company either (1) receives the difference between a fixed interest rate (the “Strike Rate”) and one-month LIBOR if the Strike Rate is less than LIBOR or (2) pays such difference if the Strike Rate is greater than LIBOR. No initial investment was made to enter into either of the interest rate swap agreements. The Company had no derivative financial instruments prior to the execution of the two swaps.

During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded no amounts in earnings attributable to hedge ineffectiveness. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $307,000 will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate swaps and other derivatives instruments (in thousands):

	Fair Value(1)				Current Notional Amount		Strike Rate		Expiration Date
Type of Derivative Instrument	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Interest rate swaps(2)	$	307	$	620	$	55,800		1.34% to 1.48%	December 2013
Other derivative instrument(3)		—		274					March 2013
Total derivative instruments	$	307	$	894

⁽¹⁾ Fair value of derivative instruments does not include any related accrued interest payable to the counterparty.

⁽²⁾ The interest rate swaps are classified within accounts payable and other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

⁽³⁾ The Company’s purchase agreement executed in connection with the acquisition of the Edwards Theatres property in March 2011 contained a provision determined to be an embedded derivative instrument. The embedded derivative provided a guaranteed fair value for the OP units provided to the sellers of the property if redeemed for shares of the Parent Company’s common stock or cash, at the Company’s election, prior to its expiration in March 2013. The fair value of the embedded derivative at each period was calculated through the use of a Monte Carlo valuation model based on the historical volatility and closing price of the Parent Company’s common stock and a risk-free interest rate (see Note 19 for discussion of changes in the fair value of this derivative). The embedded derivative was classified within accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

Under the terms of the two interest rate swaps detailed above, the Company could be declared in default on its obligations under the swap agreements in the event that it defaults on any of its indebtedness, even if repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender. Additionally, because the Company’s derivative counterparty is also the lender for the hedged floating rate credit agreement, the swap agreements incorporate the loan covenant provisions of the Company’s indebtedness. Failure to comply with the loan covenant provisions would result in the Company being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreement.

If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2013, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value. As of June 30, 2013, the termination value defined as the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, was a liability of approximately $357,000. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements.

Although the Company’s derivative contracts are subject to a master netting arrangement, the Company does not net its derivative fair values or any existing rights or obligations to cash collateral on the consolidated balance sheets.

12. Equity of the Parent Company

The Parent Company has issued restricted stock awards to senior executives, directors and employees totaling 1,133,130 shares of common stock (net of forfeitures of 23,000 shares), which are included in the total shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2013.

As of June 30, 2013, the Parent Company had outstanding 2,000,000 shares of 7.00% Series A preferred stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The Parent Company pays cumulative dividends on the Series A preferred stock when, as and if declared by the Parent Company’s board of directors, at a rate of 7.00% per annum, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The annual dividend on each share of Series A preferred stock is $1.75, payable quarterly in arrears on or about the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year. Holders of the Series A preferred stock generally have no voting rights except for limited voting rights if the Parent Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive) and in certain other circumstances. The Series A preferred stock is convertible, at the holders’ option, at any time and from time to time, into common stock of the Parent Company at an initial conversion rate of 1.6667 shares of common stock per share of Series A preferred stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $15.00 per share. The conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments in certain circumstances. On or after April 1, 2014, the Parent Company may, at its option, convert some or all of the Series A preferred stock if the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds 140% of the conversion price for at least 20 of the 30 consecutive trading days ending the day before the notice of exercise of conversion is sent and the Parent Company has either declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, any unpaid dividends that are in arrears on the Series A preferred stock.

27

As of June 30, 2013, the Parent Company had outstanding 3,680,000 shares of 8.125% Series B preferred stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The Parent Company pays cumulative dividends on the Series B preferred stock, when, as and if declared by the Parent Company’s board of directors, at a rate of 8.125% per annum, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The annual dividend on each share of Series B preferred stock is $2.03125, payable quarterly in arrears on or about the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year. Holders of the Series B preferred stock generally have no voting rights except for limited voting rights if the Parent Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive) and in certain other circumstances. At any time on and after January 31, 2017, the Parent Company may, at its option, redeem the Series B preferred stock, in whole or from time to time in part, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption. In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control, the Parent Company or a successor may, at its option, redeem the Series B preferred stock, in whole or in part and within 120 days after the first date on which such change of control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption.

The Parent Company’s board of directors has authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Parent Company may acquire up to $30.0 million of its common stock in open market and negotiated purchases with no expiration date. As of June 30, 2013, approximately $23.3 million remained available under the stock repurchase program to acquire outstanding shares of the Parent Company’s common stock.

The Parent Company has entered into equity distribution agreements (the “Equity Distribution Agreements”) with four sales agents, under which it can issue and sell shares of the Parent Company’s common stock from time to time through, at its discretion, any of the sales agents. The Equity Distribution Agreements were initially entered into in March 2012 with an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. The Equity Distribution Agreements were subsequently amended and restated in May 2013, permitting additional sales with an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million. The sales of common stock made under the Equity Distribution Agreements are made in “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). During the six months ended June 30, 2013 the Parent Company completed the issuance of 3,065,528 shares pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreements, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $39.3 million at an average stock issuance price of $13.05 per share. The Company used the net proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness under its unsecured revolving credit facility and for other general corporate and working capital purposes. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, the Parent Company issued 146,400 shares pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreements, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.9 million at an average stock issuance price of $13.19 per share.

Consolidated net income is reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the common stockholders and the non-controlling interests. During the period from March 2012 to March 2013, a total of 591,474 OP units related to the Edwards Theatres acquisition were tendered to the Parent Company for redemption, resulting in the issuance of an additional 531,768 shares of common stock and cash payments totaling approximately $1.9 million to former unitholders (see Note 19 for further discussion). In October 2012, the Operating Partnership issued an additional 411,184 OP units in connection with the acquisition of the Company’s West Broad Village property.

A charge/credit is recorded each period in the consolidated statements of income for the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the Company’s net income (loss). Ownership interests held by the Company do not include unvested restricted stock.

2010 Equity Incentive Award Plan

The Company has established the 2010 Equity Incentive Award Plan of Excel Trust, Inc. and Excel Trust, L.P. (the “2010 Plan”), pursuant to which the Parent Company’s board of directors or a committee of its independent directors may make grants of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards to its non-employee directors, employees and consultants (an equivalent amount of common OP units are issued to the Parent Company for each such grant with similar terms and conditions). The maximum number of shares of the Parent Company’s common stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2010 Plan is 1,350,000 (of which 239,870 shares of common stock remain available for issuance as of June 30, 2013).

The following shares of restricted common stock were issued during the six months ended June 30, 2013:

Grant Date	Price at Grant Date		Number		Vesting Period (yrs.)

Shares of the Parent Company’s restricted common stock generally may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the administrator of the 2010 Plan, a domestic relations order, unless and until all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed. Such restrictions expire upon vesting. Shares of the Parent Company’s restricted common stock have full voting rights and rights to dividends upon grant. The Company recognized compensation expense during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 of $568,000 and $804,000, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 of $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, related to the restricted common stock grants ultimately expected to vest. ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company has estimated $0 in forfeitures. Stock compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was approximately $2.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested shares of the Parent Company’s restricted common stock. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, this expense was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 1.6 and 2.0 years, respectively.

401(k) Retirement Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all employees, which permits participants to defer up to the maximum allowable amount of their eligible compensation as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. This deferred compensation, together with Company matching contributions equal to 100% of employee deferrals up to 3.0% of eligible compensation and 50% of employee deferrals for the next 2.0% of eligible compensation, is fully vested and funded as of June 30, 2013. Costs related to the matching portion of the plan for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $38,000 and $30,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $73,000 and $57,000, respectively.

13. Equity of the Operating Partnership

As of June 30, 2013, the Operating Partnership had outstanding 49,251,488 OP units. The Parent Company owned 97.5% of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2013, is the Operating Partnership’s general partner and is responsible for the management of the Operating Partnership’s business. As the general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company effectively controls the ability to issue common stock of the Parent Company upon a limited partner’s notice of redemption. In addition, the Parent Company has generally acquired OP units upon a limited partner’s notice of redemption in exchange for shares of its common stock. The redemption provisions of OP units owned by limited partners that permit the Parent Company to settle in either cash or common stock at the option of the Parent Company are further evaluated in accordance with applicable accounting guidance to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. The Operating Partnership evaluated this guidance, including the requirement to settle in unregistered shares, and determined that these OP units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity.

In addition, as of June 30, 2013, the Operating Partnership had outstanding 2,000,000 7.00% Series A preferred units and 3,680,000 8.125% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (collectively referred to as the “Preferred Units”). The Preferred Units were issued to the Parent Company in exchange for the net proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of the Parent Company and contain the same terms and conditions as the preferred stock instruments (including distribution rates, exchange or redemption provisions, etc.).

29

In connection with the Parent Company’s Equity Distribution Agreements, during the six months ended June 30, 2013 the Operating Partnership issued 3,065,528 OP units to the Parent Company in exchange for net proceeds of approximately $36.3 million (not including an amount due from the Parent Company of $2.9 million representing proceeds from equity offerings not yet contributed in exchange for common OP units), which were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under its unsecured revolving credit facility and for other general corporate and working capital purposes. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, the Operating Partnership issued an additional 146,400 OP units in exchange for net proceeds of approximately $1.9 million resulting from sale of the Parent Company’s common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreements.

Consolidated net income is reported in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the unitholders and the non-controlling interests in a consolidated joint venture property. During the period from March 2012 to March 2013, a total of 591,474 OP units related to the 2011 Edwards Theatres acquisition were tendered to the Parent Company for redemption, resulting in the issuance of an additional 531,768 shares of the Parent Company’s common stock (and the issuance of an equivalent number of OP units to the Parent Company) and cash payments totaling approximately $1.9 million to former unitholders (see Note 19 for further discussion). In October 2012, the Operating Partnership issued an additional 411,184 OP units in connection with the acquisition of the Company’s West Broad Village property.

The following table shows the vested partnership interests in the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

	June 30, 2013					December 31, 2012
	OP Units		Percentage of Total			OP Units		Percentage of Total

14. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

On September 7, 2012, the Company contributed the La Costa Town Center property to a limited liability company (the “La Costa LLC”) with GEM Realty Capital, Inc. (“GEM”) in which the Company and GEM hold 20% and 80% ownership interests, respectively. The Company received approximately $21.2 million in exchange for the 80% ownership interest acquired by GEM. The Company’s remaining interest is reflected in the accompanying balance sheets at the Company’s historical cost basis as an investment in a profit-sharing arrangement. The contribution was not considered a sale of real estate due to terms in the La Costa LLC formation documents that could require the Company’s continuing participation in the future under certain circumstances. La Costa LLC does not qualify as a VIE and consolidation is not required as the Company does not control the operations of the property and the majority owner will bear the majority of any losses incurred. The Company will receive 20% of the cash flow distributions and may receive a greater portion of cash distributions in the future based upon the performance of the property and the availability of cash for distribution. In addition, the Company receives fees in its role as the day-to-day property manager and for any development services that it provides. The Company’s interest in the income or losses of the underlying venture is reflected in a manner similar to the equity method of accounting.

On October 19, 2012, the Company acquired a 50% tenant-in-common ownership interest in a property (The Fountains at Bay Hill, or “Bay Hill”) for a purchase price of approximately $19.8 million as a part of a larger acquisition. The remaining 50% undivided interest in the Bay Hill property is held by MDC Fountains, LLC (“MDC”). The Bay Hill property does not qualify as a VIE and consolidation is not required as the Company does not control the operations of the property. The Company will receive 50% of the cash flow distributions and recognize 50% of the results of operations. In addition, the Company receives fees in its role as the day-to-day property manager. The Company’s 50% ownership interest is reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as an investment in unconsolidated entities and the Company’s interest in the income or losses of the property is recorded based on the equity method of accounting.

General information on the La Costa LLC and Bay Hill properties as of June 30, 2013 was as follows:

Unconsolidated Investment	Partner		Ownership Interest			Formation/ Acquisition Date	Property
La Costa LLC(1)		GEM		20	%	September 7, 2012	La Costa Town Center
Bay Hill(2)		MDC		50	%	October 19, 2012	The Fountains at Bay Hill

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, total revenues were $2.3 million, total expenses were $2.0 million and net loss was $264,000. The mortgage note was assumed with the contribution of the property. The mortgage note bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 575 basis points (6.0% at each of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012). The mortgage note has a maturity date of October 1, 2014, which may be extended for three additional one-year periods at the LLC’s election and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions (including the payment of an extension fee upon the exercise of the 2^nd and 3^rd renewal options, execution of an interest rate cap and the establishment of certain reserve accounts). La Costa LLC has also entered into an interest rate cap related to the mortgage note, which limits LIBOR to a maximum of 3.0% and expires on October 1, 2014.

⁽²⁾  At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $23.6 million and $23.9 million, respectively, in outstanding borrowings on the mortgage note assumed with the acquisition of the Bay Hill property. The mortgage note bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 325 basis points (3.4% at June 30, 2013 and 3.5% at December 31, 2012). The mortgage note has a maturity date of April 2, 2015, which may be extended for two additional one-year periods at the borrower’s election and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions.

16. Related Party Transactions

Many of the employees of Excel Realty Holdings, LLC (“ERH”) became employees of the Company subsequent to the Company’s initial public offering. ERH reimburses the Company for estimated time the Company employees spend on ERH related matters. In the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, approximately $65,000 and $79,000, respectively, and in each of the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, approximately $148,000 was reimbursed to the Company from ERH and included in other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

At June 30, 2013, the Operating Partnership had recognized an amount due from the Parent Company of approximately $2.9 million (classified within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets) relating to proceeds from the issuance of the Parent Company’s common stock (with the issuance of an equivalent number of common OP units to the Parent Company), which had not yet been contributed to the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership collected the receivable in July 2013.

17. Income Taxes

Income Taxes of the Parent Company

The Parent Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010. To qualify as a REIT, the Parent Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including the requirement that it distribute currently at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders. It is the Parent Company’s intention to comply with these requirements and maintain the Parent Company’s REIT status. As a REIT, the Parent Company generally will not be subject to corporate federal, state or local income taxes on income it distributes currently (in accordance with the Code and applicable regulations) to its stockholders. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then it will be subject to federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for subsequent tax years. Even if the Parent Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, properties and operations and to federal income and excise taxes on its taxable income not distributed in the amounts and in the time frames prescribed by the Code and applicable regulations thereunder and on the taxable income of any of its taxable REIT subsidiaries.

Income Taxes of the Operating Partnership

As a partnership, the allocated share of income of the Operating Partnership is included in the income tax returns of the general and limited partners. Accordingly, no accounting for income taxes is required in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Operating Partnership may be subject to certain state or local taxes on its income and property.

The Operating Partnership has formed a taxable REIT subsidiary (the “TRS”) on behalf of the general partner. In general, the TRS may perform non-customary services for tenants, hold assets that the general partner cannot hold directly and, except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing of any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated, may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. The TRS is subject to corporate federal income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. There is no tax provision for the TRS for the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income due to net operating losses incurred. No tax benefits have been recorded since it is not considered more likely than not that the deferred tax asset related to the net operating loss carry-forwards will be utilized.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation:

The Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against it which if determined unfavorably, would have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental Matters:

The Company follows the policy of monitoring its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist at its properties, the Company is not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to its properties that would have a material effect on its condensed consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows. Further, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that it believes would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

32

Other

The Company’s other commitments and contingencies include the usual obligations of real estate owners and operators in the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, the Company expects to incur construction costs relating to development projects on portions of existing operating properties (including the Company’s proportionate share of costs related to the redevelopment of the unconsolidated La Costa Town Center property).

19. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company is required to disclose fair value information relating to financial instruments that are remeasured on a recurring basis and those that are only initially recognized at fair value (not required to be subsequently remeasured). The Company’s disclosures of estimated fair value of financial instruments were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. The use of different assumptions or methods of estimation may have a material effect on the estimated fair value of financial instruments.

The following table reflects the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	Balance at June 30, 2013			Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

⁽¹⁾ Amount reflects the fair value of funds expected to be received pursuant to master lease agreements executed in connection with the Promenade Corporate Center acquisition. The Company has estimated the fair value of the asset based on its expectations of the probability of leasing or releasing spaces within the term of the master lease agreements and corresponding estimates for time required to lease, lease rates and funds required for tenant improvements and lease commissions. This amount has been included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, with subsequent changes in the fair value of the asset recorded as a gain (loss) in earnings in the period in which the change occurs.

⁽²⁾ Additional consideration was potentially due to the prior owners of two properties purchased in 2012 contingent upon their ability to lease-up vacant space at those properties during 2013. The balance of $1.8 million at December 31, 2012 represented the Company’s best estimate of the fair value of funds expected to be paid to the former owners. The earn-out period for one of the two properties expired at June 30, 2013, resulting in a reversal of the contingent liability of approximately $1.6 million based on a short-fall in the expected leasing. At June 30, 2013, a contingent liability with a fair value of approximately $235,000 remained relating to the potential earn-out for the additional property acquired in 2012 with the earn-out period expiring on September 30, 2013 (the maximum amount of contingent consideration that may be contractually earned by the prior owner at June 30, 2013 is $235,000).

⁽³⁾ Amount reflects the fair value of a provision within a purchase agreement that provides a guaranteed redemption value for OP units provided to the sellers of the Edwards Theatres property acquired in March 2011. The Company has estimated the fair value of the embedded derivative instrument using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on the historical volatility and closing price of the Parent Company’s common stock and a risk-free interest rate. This amount is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, with changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative recorded as gain (loss) on changes in fair value of financial instruments and gain on OP unit redemption in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This embedded derivative instrument expired on March 11, 2013.

During the period from March 2012 to March 2013, 591,474 OP units were tendered to the Company for redemption, resulting in the issuance of 531,768 shares of common stock and cash payments totaling approximately $1.9 million. The Company has recognized the acquisition of non-controlling interests based on the fair value of shares issuable in connection with the one-for-one redemption right available to all holders of OP units. The Company recognized a loss of approximately $16,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of the deficit of the fair value of the guarantee over the fair value of the consideration required to settle. The Company recognized gains of approximately $175,000 and $349,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as a result of the excess of the fair value of the guarantee over the fair value of the consideration required to settle. In total, the Company recognized increases in additional paid-in capital and common stock, par value, of approximately $279,000 and $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company also recognized additional gains of $246,000 and $702,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as a result of revaluations of the redemption obligation.

Purchases, issuances, or settlements		(277	)		—			28
Ending balance, June 30, 2013	$	721		$	(235	)	$	—

⁽¹⁾ The change of $271,000 for other assets related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2013 is comprised of payments received on the master lease assets and an increase in the estimated fair value of funds to be received from escrow of $6,000.

⁽²⁾ The change of $1.6 million for contingent consideration related to business combinations represents the reversal of a contingent liability related to the earn-out for one property as a result of a shortfall in expected leasing of vacant space at the property (recognized as changes in fair value of contingent consideration in the condensed consolidated statements of operations). The remaining earn-out has a fair value of approximately $235,000 based on the funds expected to be paid to the former owner, with the earn-out period expiring on September 30, 2013.

⁽³⁾ The change of $274,000 for derivative instruments related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2013 is related to changes to the redemption provision for OP units issued in connection with the 2011 Edwards Theatres acquisition as a result of (a) a decrease of $246,000 due to recognition of a gain included in earnings related to changes in the fair value of the redemption obligation and (b) a decrease of $28,000 due to the redemption of corresponding OP units.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of financial instruments that are remeasured on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2012 (in thousands):

	Other Assets Related to Business Combinations(1)		Contingent Consideration Related to Business Combinations(2)			Derivative Instruments Related to Business Combinations(3)
Beginning balance, January 1, 2012	$	—	$	(1,613	)	$	(3,050	)
Total gains:

Purchases, issuances, or settlements		772		1,613			654
Ending balance, June 30, 2012	$	772	$	—		$	(1,345	)

⁽¹⁾ The change of $772,000 for other assets related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is comprised of the recognition of a master lease asset of $772,000 related to the acquisition of the Promenade Corporate Center property (see Note 3).

⁽²⁾ The change of $1.6 million for contingent consideration related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is comprised of a decrease in the obligation due to the payment of approximately $1.6 million in earn-outs in January 2012.

⁽³⁾ The change of $1.7 million for derivative instruments related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is related to changes to the redemption provision for OP units issued in connection with the 2011 Edwards Theatres acquisition and is comprised of (a) a decrease of $1.0 million due to recognition of a gain related to changes in the fair value of the redemption obligation and a gain of $349,000 resulting from the redemption of OP units and (b) a decrease in the redemption obligation of $654,000 due to the redemption of corresponding OP units.

There were no additional gains or losses, purchases, sales, issuances, settlements, or transfers in or out related to any of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

35

The following table provides quantitative disclosure about significant unobservable inputs related to financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) as of June 30, 2013:

	Fair Value at June 30, 2013			Valuation Technique(s)		Unobservable Input		Range (Weighted Average)
Other assets related to business combinations(1)	$	721			Cash flow		Tenant improvement allowance Lease commission TI construction period	$ $	12.00/sf - 35.00/sf 6.0 2-5 months	%
Contingent consideration related to business combinations(2)	$	(235	)		Cash flow		Tenant improvement allowance Lease commission TI construction period	$	35.00/sf 6.0 2 months	%

⁽¹⁾ The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the master lease agreement asset are any estimated tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions and the construction periods associated with projected new leasing. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for market lease rates is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for tenant improvement allowances and/or leasing commissions.

⁽²⁾ The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration are any estimated tenant improvement allowances, construction periods, leasing commissions and lease rates. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for market lease rates is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for tenant improvement allowances and/or leasing commissions.

The Company has not elected the fair value measurement option for any of its other financial assets or liabilities. The Company has estimated the fair value of its financial assets using a discounted cash flow analysis based on an appropriate market rate for a similar type of instrument. The Company has estimated the fair value of its financial liabilities by using either (1) a discounted cash flow analysis using an appropriate market discount rate for similar types of instruments, or (2) a present value model and an interest rate that includes a credit value adjustment based on the estimated value of the property that serves as collateral for the underlying debt. The fair values of financial instruments not included in this table are estimated to be equal to their carrying amounts.

The fair values of certain additional financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (fair value measurements categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) are as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2013				December 31, 2012

20. Subsequent Events

On July 1, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Stadium Center, a retail shopping center with 160,726 square feet of GLA located in Manteca, California for a contractual purchase price, excluding closing costs, of approximately $41.2 million. The purchase was funded by additional borrowings on the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. Tenants of Stadium Center include Ross Dress for Less, Jo-Ann, Office Max, Old Navy, Costco (non-owned) and Kohl’s (non-owned). An allocation of purchase price for the acquisition of the Stadium Center property has not yet been performed as the Company is continuing to collect the necessary information.

On July 2, 2013, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire a land parcel at our Promenade property, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, for a contractual purchase price, excluding closing costs, of approximately $16.0 million and includes the assumption of a mortgage note in the amount of approximately $7.3 million. The acquisition of the property is subject to due diligence and other customary closing conditions. The land is currently under ground lease with Sears with a retail building with 135,000 square feet of GLA.

On July 17, 2013, the Company entered into a sales agreement to sell the Grant Creek Town Center property, located in Missoula, Montana, for a contractual sales price, excluding closing costs, of approximately $32.3 million. The sale of the property is subject to due diligence and other customary closing conditions.

36

On July 19, 2013, the Company completed the sale of the Walgreens property (retail properties segment), located in Corbin, Kentucky, for a sale price of approximately $4.5 million, which resulted in the recognition of a gain on sale of approximately $1.3 million. The property has been reflected as real estate held for sale, net of accumulated depreciation and discontinued operations as of June 30, 2013 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

On August 1, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of a retail shopping center with 194,736 square feet of GLA located in Houston, Texas for a contractual purchase price, excluding closing costs, of approximately $39.5 million. The purchase was funded by additional borrowings on the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. An allocation of purchase price for the acquisition of the property has not yet been performed as the Company is continuing to collect the necessary information.

21. Segment Disclosure

The Company’s reportable segments consist of the three types of commercial real estate properties for which management internally evaluates operating performance and financial results: Office Properties, Multi-family Properties (new in 2012) and Retail Properties. The Company was formed for the primary purpose of owning and operating Retail Properties. As such, administrative costs are shown under the Retail Properties segment. The Retail Properties operating segment also includes undeveloped land which the Company intends to develop into retail properties.

The Company evaluates the performance of the operating segments based upon property operating income. “Property Operating Income” is defined as operating revenues (rental revenue and tenant recoveries) less property operating expenses (maintenance and repairs, real estate taxes, management fees, and other operating expenses). The Company also evaluates interest expense, interest income and depreciation and amortization by segment. Corporate general and administrative expense, interest expense related to corporate indebtedness and other non-recurring gains or losses are reflected within the Retail Properties operating segment as this constitutes the Company’s primary business objective and represents the majority of its operations. There is no intersegment activity.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer to Excel Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and any of our subsidiaries, including Excel Trust, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership of which Excel Trust, Inc. is the parent company and general partner, which may be referred to herein as the “Operating Partnership.”

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. We make statements in this report that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties, and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise, and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: adverse economic or real estate developments in the retail industry or the markets in which we operate; changes in local, regional and national economic conditions; our inability to compete effectively; our inability to collect rent from tenants; defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants; increased interest rates and operating costs; decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates; our failure to obtain necessary outside financing on favorable terms or at all; changes in the availability of additional acquisition opportunities; our inability to successfully complete real estate acquisitions; our failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations; our failure to qualify or maintain our status as a REIT; our inability to attract and retain key personnel; government approvals, actions and initiatives, including the need for compliance with environmental requirements; financial market fluctuations; changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates; the effects of earthquakes and other natural disasters; and lack of or insufficient amounts of insurance. While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs (or those of the indicated third parties); they are not guarantees of future performance. We disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance, including factors and risks included in other sections of this report. In addition, we discussed a number of material risks in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the Operating Partnership’s Registration Statement on Form 10. Those risks continue to be relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Management’s Overview and Summary

We are a vertically integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate firm with the principal objective of acquiring, financing, developing, leasing, owning and managing community and power centers, grocery anchored neighborhood centers and freestanding retail properties. Our strategy is to acquire high quality, well-located, dominant retail properties that generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. We target competitively protected properties in communities that have stable demographics and have historically exhibited favorable trends, such as strong population and income growth. We generally lease our properties to national and regional supermarket chains, big-box retailers and select national retailers that frequently offer necessity and value oriented items and generate regular consumer traffic. Our tenants often carry goods that are less impacted by fluctuations in the broader U.S. economy and consumers’ disposable income, which we believe generates more predictable property-level cash flows.

The following table reflects our total portfolio at June 30, 2013 (a property is reclassified from development to the operating portfolio at the earlier of 85% occupancy or one year from completion and delivery of the space):

	Gross Leasable Area (GLA)		% Occupied			% Leased			Number of Properties
Operating Portfolio:
Retail properties(1)		5,302,598		92.4	%		93.7	%		31
Multi-family properties(2)		339 units		96.2	%		98.2	%		n/a
Office properties		338,339		81.2	%		84.0	%		2
Total/weighted-average operating portfolio		5,640,937		91.7	%		93.1	%		33
Development property(3)		149,517		20.3	%		20.3	%		n/a
Unconsolidated properties(4)		225,070		79.8	%		79.8	%		2
Total Portfolio:
Total/weighted-average total portfolio		6,015,524		89.5	%		90.8	%		35

⁽¹⁾ Includes our Walgreens property, which is reflected as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and was sold on July 19, 2013.

⁽²⁾ Includes the 339 apartment units on the upper levels of our West Broad Village retail shopping center (the number of apartment units and leased percentage are not included in the total/weighted-average).

⁽³⁾ Our non-operating property consists of Phase II of our Chimney Rock property, which is held for future development. Phase I of our Chimney Rock property is classified as an operating property.

⁽⁴⁾ Includes our La Costa Town Center and The Fountains at Bay Hill, or Bay Hill, properties in which we hold 20% and 50% ownership interests, respectively.

Our operations are carried out primarily through the Operating Partnership. We receive income primarily from rents and reimbursement payments received from tenants under existing leases at each of our properties. Potential impacts to our income include unanticipated tenant vacancies, vacancy of space that takes longer to re-lease and, for non-triple-net leases, operating costs that cannot be recovered from our tenants through contractual reimbursement formulas in our leases. Our operating results therefore depend materially on the ability of our tenants to make required payments and overall real estate market conditions.

Critical Accounting Policies

A complete discussion of our critical accounting policies can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the Operating Partnership’s Registration Statement on Form 10, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

New Accounting Standards

See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein for disclosure of new accounting standards.

Results of Operations

We operate through three reportable business segments: retail properties, multi-family properties and office properties. At June 30, 2013, we owned 31 consolidated retail operating properties with a total of approximately 5.3 million square feet of gross leasable area (including a consolidated joint venture owned 50% by us). The multi-family segment consists of 339 apartment units at one retail property, West Broad Village, which is located in Richmond, Virginia. The office segment consists of two properties, Excel Centre, a portion of which is utilized as our headquarters, and the Promenade Corporate Center (these properties total 338,339 square feet of gross leasable area). All of our other properties are reported in the retail segment.

41

The following table reflects leasing activity at our consolidated retail and office operating properties for comparable leases (leases executed for spaces in which there was a tenant at some point during the previous twelve-month period) and non-comparable leases during the six months ended June 30, 2013:

	Number of Leases		GLA		Weighted- Average Lease Rate		Weighted- Average Prior Lease Rate		% Increase (Decrease)			Tenant Improvement Allowance (sf)		Leasing Commission (sf)
Comparable leases		25		116,001	$	18.35	$	18.06		1.6	%	$	8.65	$	1.03
Non-comparable leases		12		57,174	$	18.55		n/a		n/a		$	21.84	$	6.44
Total leasing activity		37		173,175

In the six months ended June 30, 2013, we acquired one retail operating property for cash for a purchase price of approximately $30.7 million. We utilized borrowings from our unsecured revolving credit facility to acquire this property.

The following table provides a reconciliation of property operating income (as defined in the table above) to net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended

Income from discontinued operations		45			45			—			n/a
Net income	$	3,472		$	357		$	3,115			872.5	%

Property operating income: Property operating income increased by $5.3 million, or 34.5%, to $20.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $15.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily related to the acquisition of nine consolidated operating properties after March 31, 2012 and the commencement of additional leases at former development properties in 2012 and 2013.

General and administrative: General and administrative expenses were $3.3 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012. An increase in consulting expense, statutory reporting costs and expenses related to the potential disposition of certain properties was offset by a decrease in acquisition costs and other professional fees. Higher compensation and benefit costs associated with an increase in the number of employees due to the continued growth of the Company was also offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense, as a result of the graded vesting method of recognizing compensation expense related to the 2012 performance-based stock awards, which resulted in declining amounts of compensation expense in 2013 as compared to 2012. Included in general and administrative expenses was share-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 of $568,000 and $804,000, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.6 million, or 30.5%, to $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily related to our acquisition of nine consolidated operating properties after March 31, 2012 and the commencement of depreciation at former development properties in 2012.

Interest expense, net: Interest expense, net increased $536,000, or 13.6%, to $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the assumption of approximately $78.3 million of mortgage debt in connection with our property acquisitions acquired after March 31, 2012, partially offset by a decrease in the interest rate associated with our unsecured revolving credit facility as a result of amendments in July 2012.

Loss from equity in unconsolidated entities: In September 2012, we contributed our La Costa Town Center property to a newly-formed entity in which we hold a 20% ownership interest. We account for our ownership interest in a manner similar to the equity method of accounting. In October 2012, we purchased a 50% tenant-in-common interest in our Bay Hill property, which we account for under the equity method of accounting. Both of these ownership interests are reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as investments in unconsolidated entities (see Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein for further discussion). The loss of $65,000 recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2013 is comprised of our proportionate share of the net losses from the operations of these properties.

Changes in fair value of financial instruments and gain on redemption of OP units: A gain on changes in fair value of financial instruments of approximately $589,000 recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2012 is the result of (1) a decrease in the estimated fair value of the redemption provision of OP units issued in connection with a property acquired in 2011 and (2) the redemption of 178,075 common operating partnership units, or OP units (see Note 19 of the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein for further discussion).

44

Income from discontinued operations: Income of $45,000 for each of the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is the result of operations from our Walgreens property, which was sold on July 19, 2013. As a result of the probable sale, at June 30, 2013 the operations of the property were classified as discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statements of income for all period presented (see Note 15 of the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein for further discussion).

45

Property operating income: Property operating income increased by $11.0 million, or 35.7%, to $41.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $30.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily related to the acquisition of eleven consolidated operating properties in 2012 and 2013 and the commencement of additional leases at former development properties in 2012 and 2013.

General and administrative: General and administrative expenses were $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily related to higher compensation and benefits costs associated with an increase in the number of employees due to the continued growth of the Company, partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense as a result of the graded vesting method of recognizing compensation expense related to the 2012 performance-based stock awards, which resulted in declining amounts of compensation expense in 2013 as compared to 2012. Included in general and administrative expenses was share-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 of $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. An increase in statutory reporting costs and expenses related to the potential disposition of certain properties was offset by a decrease in acquisition costs and other professional fees.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense increased $6.7 million, or 40.0%, to $23.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily related to our acquisition of eleven operating properties in 2012 and 2013 and the commencement of depreciation at former development properties in 2012.

Interest expense, net: Interest expense, net increased $1.7 million, or 22.0%, to $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the assumption of approximately $78.3 million of mortgage debt in connection with our property acquisitions in 2012, partially offset by a decrease in the interest rate associated with our unsecured revolving credit facility as a result of amendments in July 2012.

Loss from equity in unconsolidated entities: In September 2012, we contributed our La Costa Town Center property to a newly-formed entity in which we hold a 20% ownership interest. We account for our ownership interest in a manner similar to the equity method of accounting. In October 2012, we purchased a 50% tenant-in-common interest in our Bay Hill property, which we account for under the equity method of accounting. Both of these ownership interests are reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as investments in unconsolidated entities (see Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein for further discussion). The loss of $25,000 recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is comprised of our proportionate share of the net losses from the operations of these properties.

Changes in fair value of financial instruments and gain on redemption of OP units: A gain on changes in fair value of financial instruments and gain on OP unit redemption of approximately $230,000 was recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of (1) the redemption of 19,904 OP units and (2) the expiration of the guaranteed redemption period for OP units issued in connection with the 2011 Edwards acquisition, which resulted in the recognition of a gain of approximately $246,000 representing the unutilized portion of the remaining redemption provision (see Note 19 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein for further discussion). A gain on changes in fair value of financial instruments of approximately $1.1 million was recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2012 is the result of (1) a decrease in the estimated fair value of the redemption provision and (2) the redemption of 299,927 OP units.

47

Income from discontinued operations: Income of $90,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $91,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is the result of operations of our Walgreens property, which was sold on July 19, 2013. As a result of the probable sale, at June 30, 2013 the operations of the property were classified as discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statements of income for all period presented (see Note 15 of the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein for further discussion).

Results of Operations – Segments

We evaluate the performance of our segments based upon property operating income. “Property Operating Income” is defined as operating revenues (rental revenue, tenant recoveries and other income) less property operating expenses (maintenance and repairs, real estate taxes, management fees, and other operating expenses).

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the segment information disclosed in Note 21 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 may not be indicative of our future results of operations.

The following table sets forth results of operations presented by segments for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (dollars in thousands):

Revenue-office properties: Office property revenue increased by $52,000, or 2.3%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The small increase was the result of no significant changes in operations or tenants at our two office properties.

Revenue-multi-family properties: Multi-family property revenue was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of our acquisition of the West Broad Village property in October 2012, which includes 339 apartments on the upper levels of the shopping center.

Revenue-office properties: Office property revenue increased by $270,000, or 6.6%, to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was related to the commencement of new leases at our Promenade Corporate Center property in 2013.

Revenue-multi-family properties: Multi-family property revenue was $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of our acquisition of the West Broad Village property in October 2012, which includes 339 apartments on the upper levels of the shopping center.

Revenue-retail properties: Retail property revenue increased by $11.8 million, or 32.8%, to $47.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $36.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily related to our acquisition of eleven consolidated operating properties in 2012 and 2013 and the commencement of additional leases at our development property in 2012 and 2013.

Property operating expenses-office properties: Property operating expenses related to our office properties increased by $269,000, or 19.0%, to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily related to higher operating expenses in 2013 and the acquisition of Promenade Corporate Center in January 2012.

Property operating expenses-multi-family properties: Multi-family operating expenses were $700,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of our acquisition of the West Broad Village property in October 2012, which includes 339 apartments on the upper levels of the shopping center.

Property operating expenses-retail properties: Property operating expenses related to our retail properties increased by $2.8 million, or 35.1%, to $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily related to the acquisition of eleven operating properties in 2012 and 2013.

Cash Flows

The following is a comparison, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, of our cash flows.

Cash and cash equivalents were $7.2 million ($4.2 million for the Operating Partnership) at each of June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $25.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $18.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $7.2 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net income compared to the prior period, partially offset by an increase in non-cash gains for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Net cash used in investing activities was $42.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $77.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $35.4 million. The decrease in net cash used was primarily the result of a decrease in the volume of property acquisitions of $44.2 million, partially offset by an increase in expenditures for the development of property and property improvements in 2013 and proceeds from the sale of equity securities in 2012 of $2.9 million and the repayment of an outstanding mortgage receivable of $2.0 million in 2012.

49

Net cash provided by financing activities for the Parent Company was $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $61.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $43.0 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the Operating Partnership was $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $61.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $46.0 million (the Operating Partnership recognized an amount due from the Parent Company of $2.9 million representing proceeds from equity offerings not yet contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common OP units). The decrease was primarily due to lower proceeds from equity offerings of $39.3 million ($36.3 million for the Operating Partnership) compared to $88.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease was partially offset by net borrowings of $1.4 million compared to net repayments of $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Funds From Operations

We present funds from operations, or FFO, because we consider FFO an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year-over-year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization, impairment charges and net gains (losses) on the disposition of real estate assets and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our computation may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.

The following table presents a reconciliation of FFO of Excel Trust, Inc. for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June  30, 2013		Three Months Ended June  30, 2012			Six Months Ended June  30, 2013			Six Months Ended June  30, 2012

Liquidity and Capital Resources of Excel Trust, Inc.

In this “Liquidity and Capital Resources of Excel Trust, Inc.” section, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer only to Excel Trust, Inc. on an unconsolidated basis and exclude the Operating Partnership and all other subsidiaries.

The Company’s business is operated primarily through the Operating Partnership. The Company issues public equity from time to time, but does not otherwise generate any capital itself or conduct any business itself, other than incurring certain expenses in operating as a public company which are fully reimbursed by the Operating Partnership. The Company’s principal funding requirement is the payment of dividends on its common and preferred stock. Distributions from the Operating Partnership are the Company’s principal source of funding for its dividend payments. The Company believes the Operating Partnership’s sources of working capital, specifically its cash flow from operations and borrowings available under its unsecured revolving credit facility, are adequate for it to make its distribution payments to the Company and, in turn, for the Company to make its dividend payments to its preferred and common stockholders for at least the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that the Operating Partnership’s sources of capital will continue to be available at all or in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, including its ability to make distributions to the Company. The unavailability of capital could adversely affect the Operating Partnership’s ability to make distributions to the Company, which would in turn adversely affect the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends to its stockholders.

The Company itself does not hold any indebtedness, but it guarantees some of the Operating Partnership’s debt, as discussed further in Note 8 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein. If the Operating Partnership fails to fulfill certain of its debt requirements, triggering the Company’s guarantee obligations, then the Company will be required to fulfill its cash payment commitments under such guarantees.

For the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT, it must pay dividends to its stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of its ordinary taxable income. While historically the Company has satisfied this distribution requirement by making cash distributions to its stockholders, it may choose to satisfy this requirement by making distributions of cash or other property, including, in limited circumstances, the Company’s own stock. As a result of this distribution requirement, the Operating Partnership cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its future growth to the same extent as other companies whose parent companies are not REITs. The Company may need to continue to raise capital in the equity markets to fund the Operating Partnership’s working capital needs, acquisitions and developments.

As the sole general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Company does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities and the revenues and expenses of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same on their respective financial statements. The section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources of Excel Trust, L.P.” should be read in conjunction with this section to understand the liquidity and capital resources of the Company on a consolidated basis and how the Company is operated as a whole.

The Company and the Operating Partnership have an effective shelf registration statement that provides for the public offering and sale from time to time by the Company of its preferred stock, common stock, debt securities and guarantees of debt securities, and by the Operating Partnership of its debt securities. The Company evaluates the capital markets on an ongoing basis for opportunities to raise capital, and, as circumstances warrant, the Company may issue securities of all of these types in one or more offerings at any time and from time to time on an opportunistic basis, depending upon, among other things, market conditions, available pricing and capital needs. When the Company receives proceeds from the sales of its preferred or common stock, it is required by the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement to contribute the net proceeds from those sales to the Operating Partnership in exchange for corresponding preferred or common units of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership may use these proceeds and proceeds from the sale of its debt securities to repay debt, including borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility, to develop new or existing properties, to make acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties, or for general corporate purposes.

The Company has entered into equity distribution agreements with four sales agents, under which we can issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million from time to time through, at our discretion, any of the sales agents. The sales of common stock made under the equity distribution agreements are made in “at the market” offerings as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 the Company completed the issuance of 3,065,528 shares pursuant to the equity distribution agreements, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $39.3 million at an average stock issuance price of $13.05 per share. The Company contributed the net proceeds from these issuances to the Operating Partnership, which used the proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness under its unsecured revolving credit facility and for other general corporate and working capital purposes. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, the Company issued 146,400 shares pursuant to the equity distribution agreements, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.9 million at an average stock issuance price of $13.19 per share.

The Company may from time to time seek to repurchase or redeem the Operating Partnership’s outstanding debt, the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock or preferred stock or other securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or redemptions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Liquidity and Capital Resources of Excel Trust, L.P.

In this “Liquidity and Capital Resources of Excel Trust, L.P.” section, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to the Operating Partnership or the Operating Partnership and Excel Trust, Inc. together, as the context requires.

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, including:

• interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness,

• general and administrative expenses,

• future distributions expected to be paid to Excel Trust, Inc.’s stockholders and limited partners of the Operating Partnership,

• anticipated and unanticipated capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions, and

• construction of our non-operating properties.

Our long term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, renovations, expansions, capital commitments, construction obligations and other non-recurring capital expenditures that need to be made periodically, and the costs associated with acquisitions and developments of new properties that we pursue.

We intend to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements primarily through our existing working capital and cash provided by our operations. We believe our rental revenue net of operating expenses will generally provide sufficient cash inflows to meet our debt service obligations (excluding debt maturities), pay general and administrative expenses and fund regular distributions. We anticipate being able to refinance our debt service obligations or borrow from our unsecured credit facility to pay for upcoming debt maturities. The only remaining loan maturity date in 2013 is the $55.8 million mortgage note at our Park West Place property, which is scheduled to mature in December 2013, but can be extended through December 2014 (see Note 8 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein for further discussion). We expect to incur approximately $25.2 million in construction costs relating to redevelopment or development projects on portions of existing operating properties (including the redevelopment of our unconsolidated La Costa Town Center property). Funds for these costs are expected to come from new mortgage financing, borrowings from our unsecured revolving credit facility and existing cash. We intend to satisfy our other long-term liquidity requirements through our existing working capital, cash provided by indebtedness, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the use of net proceeds from the disposition of non-strategic assets. In addition, we may, from time to time, offer and sell additional shares of common stock and preferred stock, as well as debt securities, warrants, rights and other securities to the extent necessary or advisable to meet our liquidity needs.

Our unsecured revolving credit facility has a borrowing capacity of $250.0 million, which may be increased from time to time up to an additional $200.0 million for a total borrowing capacity of $450.0 million, subject to receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. The maturity date is July 19, 2016 and may be extended for one additional year at our option. The unsecured revolving credit facility bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 165 basis points to 225 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. We also pay a fee of 0.25% or 0.35% for any unused portion of the unsecured revolving credit facility, depending on our utilization of the borrowing capacity. Borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility were $109.0 million at June 30, 2013 at a weighted-average interest rate of 1.85%. In addition, we issued a $12.1 million letter of credit from the unsecured revolving credit facility, which secures an outstanding $12.0 million bond payable for the Northside Mall. This bond is included with the mortgages payable on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2013, there was approximately $128.8 million available for borrowing under the unsecured revolving credit facility.

Our ability to borrow funds under the credit agreement, and the amount of funds available under the credit agreement at any particular time, are subject to our meeting borrowing base requirements. The amount of funds we can borrow is determined by the net operating income of our unencumbered assets that comprise the borrowing base (as defined in the credit agreement). We are also subject to financial covenants relating to maximum leverage ratios on unsecured, secured and overall debt, minimum fixed coverage ratios, minimum amount of net worth, dividend payment restrictions and certain investment limitations.

The following is a summary of key financial covenants and their covenant levels as of June 30, 2013:

	Required			Actual
Key financial covenant:
Ratio of total liabilities to total asset value (maximum)		60.0	%		37.7	%
Ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges (minimum)		1.50			2.07
Ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value (maximum)		40.0	%		28.0	%

⁽¹⁾ For a complete listing of all debt covenants related to our consolidated indebtedness as well as definitions of the above terms, please refer to our applicable filings with the SEC.

As of June 30, 2013, we believe that we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our credit agreement.

As of June 30, 2013, our ratio of debt-to-gross undepreciated asset value was approximately 35.7%. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount or percentage of debt that we may incur, nor do they limit the types of properties we may acquire or develop, and our board of directors may modify our debt policy from time to time. The amount of leverage we will deploy for particular investments in our target assets will depend upon our management team’s assessment of a variety of factors, which may include the anticipated liquidity and price volatility of the target assets in our investment portfolio, the potential for losses, the availability and cost of financing the assets, our opinion of the creditworthiness of our financing counterparties, the health of the U.S. economy and commercial mortgage markets, our outlook for the level, slope and volatility of interest rates, the credit quality of our target assets and the collateral underlying our target assets. Accordingly, the ratio of debt-to-gross undepreciated asset value may increase or decrease beyond the current amount.

Commitments, Contingencies and Contractual Obligations

The following table outlines our contractual obligations (dollars in thousands) at June 30, 2013 related to our mortgage and note indebtedness and other commitments:

	Payments by Period
	2013 (six months)		2014-2015		2016-2017		Thereafter		Total
Principal payments — fixed rate debt(1)	$	57,988	$	124,131	$	42,557	$	50,138	$	274,814

	$	72,642	$	176,601	$	160,791	$	71,959	$	481,993

⁽¹⁾ Includes a mortgage payable at our Park West Place property, which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% (contractual interest rate of 2.5% at June 30, 2013). In December 2010, we entered into two interest rate swap contracts equal to the notional value of the mortgage payable, which fix LIBOR at an average of 1.41% for the term of the mortgage.

⁽²⁾ Includes redevelopment revenue bonds at our Northside Mall property, a construction loan at our Red Rock Commons property and outstanding borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility (our unsecured revolving credit facility had a balance of $109.0 million at June 30, 2013). Interest on the redevelopment bonds is reset weekly and determined by the bond remarketing agent based on the market value of the bonds (interest rate of 0.07% at June 30, 2013). The construction loan bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 165 basis points to 225 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio (interest rate of 1.90% at June 30, 2013). The unsecured revolving credit facility bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 165 basis points to 225 basis points (weighted-average interest rate of 1.85% at June 30, 2013), depending on our leverage ratio.

⁽³⁾ Additional consideration may be due to the prior owner of one property purchased in 2012 based on its ability to lease-up vacant space at that property through September 30, 2013. The balance of $235,000 at June 30, 2013 represents our best estimate of the fair value of funds expected to be paid to the former owner (see Note 19 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein).

⁽⁴⁾ Amount represents our estimate of costs expected to be incurred primarily to complete the redevelopment of our unconsolidated La Costa Town Center property (representing our proportionate share of the estimated costs) and to complete the undeveloped portion of our Chimney Rock property.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In September 2012, PC Retail, LLC repaid in full a $2.0 million note receivable that we issued to facilitate the land acquisition and development of a shopping center anchored by Publix in Brandon, Florida, including interest accrued through the date of repayment. In conjunction with issuance of the note receivable, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with PC Retail, LLC to acquire the property upon completion of development. On October 1, 2012, we completed the acquisition of the retail shopping center with 68,000 square feet of GLA in Brandon, Florida for a purchase price of approximately $13.1 million.

53

In connection with the formation of La Costa LLC in September 2012, we contributed the La Costa Town Center property to the entity in exchange for proceeds of approximately $21.2 million (see Note 14 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein for further discussion). La Costa LLC does not qualify as a variable interest entity, or VIE, and consolidation is not required as we do not control the operations of the property. The majority owner will bear the majority of any losses incurred. We will receive 20% of the cash flow distributions and may receive a greater portion of cash distributions in the future based upon the performance of the property and the availability of cash for distribution. In addition, we receive fees in our role as the day-to-day property manager and for any development services that we provide. We account for our interest in La Costa LLC as a profit-sharing arrangement, which is reflected in a manner that is similar to the equity method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of La Costa LLC were $25.8 million and $14.9 million, respectively, at June 30, 2013.

We hold a 50% tenant-in-common ownership interest in a company, Bay Hill Fountains, LLC (“Bay Hill LLC”). In connection with our acquisition of a portfolio of properties in October 2012, we acquired a 50% undivided interest in the Bay Hill property. The Bay Hill property does not qualify as a VIE and consolidation is not required as we do not control the operations of the property. We will receive 50% of the cash flow distributions and recognize 50% of the results of operations. In addition, we receive fees in our role as the day-to-day property manager. We account for our interest in the Bay Hill property under the equity method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of the Bay Hill property were $41.5 million and $33.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2013.

Our proportionate share of outstanding indebtedness at the unconsolidated entities is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Name	Ownership Interest			Principal Amount(1)		Interest Rate			Maturity Date
La Costa LLC		20	%	$	2,820		6.0	%		October 1, 2014
Bay Hill LLC		50	%	$	11,823		3.4	%		April 2, 2015

⁽¹⁾ Amount represents our proportionate share of a secured mortgage note, which bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 575 basis points (La Costa LLC) and at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 325 basis points (Bay Hill).

We do not have any other relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purposes entities, which typically are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, we have not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities nor do we have any commitments or intent to provide funding to any such entities. Accordingly, we are not materially exposed to any other financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships, other than as described above.

Distribution Policy

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To continue to qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including the requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. It is our intention to comply with these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate United States federal, state or local income taxes on income we distribute currently (in accordance with the Code and applicable regulations) to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to United States federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for subsequent tax years. Even if we qualify for United States federal taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income properties and operations and to United States federal income and excise taxes on our taxable income not distributed in the amounts and in the time frames prescribed by the Code and applicable regulations thereunder.

Inflation

Some of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases either at fixed rates or indexed escalations (based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures). We may be adversely impacted by inflation on our leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. In addition, most of our leases require the tenant to pay its share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation, assuming our properties remain leased and tenants fulfill their obligations to reimburse us for such expenses.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The primary market risk to which we believe we are exposed is interest rate risk. Many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to interest rate risk.

54

The fair value of our mortgages payable at June 30, 2013, including our construction loan, was approximately $295.1 million compared to the carrying amount of $301.2 million. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by approximately $3.8 million at June 30, 2013. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the fair market value of our fixed-rate debt by approximately $4.0 million at June 30, 2013.

We have entered into a $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The unsecured revolving credit facility bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 165 basis points to 225 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2013, we had $121.1 million of debt and commitments outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility, which includes a $12.1 million letter of credit issued under the facility. At June 30, 2013, the outstanding balance on our unsecured revolving credit facility was $109.0 million at a weighted-average interest rate of $1.85%. The fair value of our unsecured revolving credit facility at June 30, 2013 was approximately $109.2 million. Based on outstanding borrowings of $109.0 million at June 30, 2013, an increase of 100 basis points in LIBOR would result in an increase in the interest we incur in the amount of approximately $1.1 million.

We have entered into an $18.0 million construction loan agreement in connection with construction activities at one of our development properties. The construction loan bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 165 basis points to 225 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. At June 30, 2013, the outstanding balance on our construction loan was $13.9 million at an interest rate of 1.90%. Based on outstanding borrowings of $13.9 million at June 30, 2013, an increase of 100 basis points in LIBOR would result in an increase in the interest we incur in the amount of approximately $139,000.

In order to modify and manage the interest rate characteristics of our outstanding debt and to limit the effects of interest rate risks on our operations, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, floors and other interest rate exchange contracts. The use of these types of instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks, including counterparty credit risk, the enforceability of hedging contracts and the risk that unanticipated and significant changes in interest rates will cause a significant loss of basis in the contract. To limit counterparty credit risk we will seek to enter into such agreements with major financial institutions with high credit ratings. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect against the foregoing risks and that we will ultimately realize an economic benefit that exceeds the related amounts incurred in connection with engaging in such hedging activities. We do not enter into such contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

As of June 30, 2013, we had two interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. Both derivatives were interest rate swaps and the notional amount totaled $55.8 million. The interest rate swap contracts fixed LIBOR at an average of 1.41% for the term of a mortgage loan which expires in December 2013. The fair value of these derivative financial instruments was approximately $307,000 at June 30, 2013, and is classified in accounts payable and other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

[1] The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the master lease agreement asset are any estimated tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions and the construction periods associated with projected new leasing. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for market lease rates is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for tenant improvement allowances and/or leasing commissions.

Earnings Per Share/Unit

9. Earnings Per Share of the Parent Company

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding, as adjusted for the effect of participating securities. The Parent Company’s unvested restricted share awards are participating securities as they contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. The impact of unvested restricted share awards on earnings (loss) per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends and the unvested restricted shares’ participation rights in undistributed earnings (losses).

The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 does not include 694,633 and 697,162 shares, respectively, of unvested restricted common stock or 1,225,115 and 1,233,143 OP units, respectively, as the effect of including these equity securities was anti-dilutive to net income or net loss attributable to the common stockholders. The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 does not include 933,487 and 961,704 shares, respectively, of unvested restricted common stock, 79,215 and 90,667 shares, respectively, of contingently issuable common stock related to the 2011 Edwards Theatres acquisition, or 1,205,303 and 1,299,035 OP units, respectively, as the effect of including these equity securities was anti-dilutive to net loss attributable to the common stockholders. In addition, 3,333,400 common shares issuable upon settlement of the conversion feature of the 7.00% Series A Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series A preferred stock”) were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share based on the “if converted” method for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands, except share data) were as follows:

Earnings Per Share/Unit

10. Earnings Per Unit of the Operating Partnership

Basic earnings (loss) per unit is computed by dividing income (loss) applicable to unitholders by the weighted average OP units outstanding, as adjusted for the effect of participating securities. The Operating Partnership’s unvested restricted OP unit awards are participating securities as they contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. The impact of unvested restricted OP unit awards on earnings (loss) per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted OP unit awards based on distributions and the unvested restricted OP units’ participation rights in undistributed earnings (losses).

The calculation of diluted earnings per unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 does not include 694,633 and 697,162 units, respectively, of unvested restricted OP units, as the effect of including these equity securities was anti-dilutive to net income or net loss attributable to the unitholders. The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 does not include 933,487 and 961,704 units, respectively, of unvested restricted OP units, or 79,215 and 90,667 units, respectively, of contingently issuable OP units related to the 2011 Edwards Theatres acquisition, respectively, as the effect of including these equity securities was anti-dilutive to net loss attributable to the common stockholders. In addition, 3,333,400 OP units issuable upon settlement of the conversion feature of the 7.00% Series A Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Units (“Series A preferred units”) were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per unit based on the “if converted” method for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

6 Months Ended

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include all the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and have not been audited by independent registered public accountants.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto in the Parent Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the Operating Partnership’s Registration Statement on Form 10. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods have been made. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, for which cost approximates fair value, due to their short term maturities.

Restricted Cash:

Restricted cash is comprised of impound reserve accounts for property taxes, insurance, capital improvements and tenant improvements.

Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities:

Included in accounts payable and other liabilities are deferred rents in the amount of $3.6 million and $4.4 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company commences revenue recognition on its 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. In determining what constitutes the leased asset, the Company evaluates whether the Company or the lessee is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements. If the Company is 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 the Company concludes that it is 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 reduce revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective lease. In these circumstances, the Company begins revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct improvements. The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements is highly subjective and determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. The Company considers a number of different factors to evaluate whether it 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;

• the responsible party for construction cost overruns; and

• who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements.

Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease. The difference between the amount of cash rent due in a year and the amount recorded as rental income is referred to as the “straight-line rent adjustment.” Rental income (net of write-offs for uncollectible amounts) increased by $1.1 million and $589,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $2.0 million and $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, due to the straight-line rent adjustment. Percentage rent is recognized after tenant sales have exceeded defined thresholds (if applicable) and was $185,000 and $153,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $570,000 and $361,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Estimated recoveries from certain tenants for their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred or as specified in the leases. Other tenants pay a fixed rate and these tenant recoveries are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases.

Property:

Costs incurred in connection with the development or construction of properties and improvements are capitalized. Capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes and related costs and other direct costs incurred during the period of development. The Company capitalizes costs on land and buildings under development until construction is substantially complete and the property is held available for occupancy. The determination of when a development project is substantially complete and when capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The Company considers a construction project as substantially complete and held available for occupancy upon the completion of landlord-owned tenant improvements or when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for construction of its own improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. The Company ceases capitalization on the portion substantially completed and occupied or held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with any remaining portion under construction. In March 2012, the Company reclassified the majority of construction in progress costs relating to two non-operating properties into the corresponding buildings, site improvements and tenant improvements financial statement line items upon substantial completion of development activities.

Maintenance and repairs expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Costs for major replacements and betterments, which include HVAC equipment, roofs, parking lots, etc., are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Gains and losses are recognized upon disposal or retirement of the related assets and are reflected in earnings.

Property is recorded at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets as follows:

Building and improvements	15 to 40 years
Tenant improvements	Shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the related leases

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed:

The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. This assessment considers expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include the tenants’ ability to perform their duties and pay rent under the terms of the leases. The determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense, expected to result from the long-lived asset’s use and eventual disposition. The Company’s evaluation as to whether impairment may exist, including estimates of future anticipated cash flows, are highly subjective and could differ materially from actual results in future periods. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flows analysis, with the carrying value of the related assets. Although the Company’s strategy is to hold its properties over a long-term period, if the strategy changes or market conditions dictate that the sale of properties at an earlier date would be preferable, a property may be classified as held for sale and an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. There was no impairment recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012.

Investments in Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies:

The Company evaluates its investments in limited liability companies and partnerships to determine whether such entities may be a VIE and, if a VIE, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. Generally, an entity is determined to be a VIE when either (1) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties or (2) as a group, the holders of the equity investment lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (1) the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company considers a variety of factors in identifying the entity that holds the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance including, but not limited to, the ability to direct financing, leasing, construction and other operating decisions and activities. In addition, the Company considers the form of ownership interest, voting interest, the size of the investment (including loans) and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions, to replace or remove the manager and to liquidate or sell the entity. The obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits when a reporting entity is affiliated with a VIE must be based on ownership, contractual, and/or other pecuniary interests in that VIE.

If the foregoing conditions do not apply, the Company considers whether a general partner or managing member controls a limited partnership or limited liability company. The general partner in a limited partnership or managing member in a limited liability company is presumed to control that limited partnership or limited liability company. The presumption may be overcome if the limited partners or members have either (1) the substantive ability to dissolve the limited partnership or limited liability company or otherwise remove the general partner or managing member without cause or (2) substantive participating rights, which provide the limited partners or members with the ability to effectively participate in significant decisions that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of the limited partnership’s or limited liability company’s business and thereby preclude the general partner or managing member from exercising unilateral control over the partnership or company. If these criteria are not met and the Company is the general partner or the managing member, as applicable, the Company will consolidate the partnership or limited liability company.

Investments that are not consolidated, over which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s portion of earnings or losses and for cash contributions and distributions. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s investment is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and its share of net income or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Share-Based Payments:

All share-based payments to employees are recognized in earnings based on their fair value on the date of grant. Through June 30, 2013, the Company has awarded only restricted stock awards under its incentive award plan, which are based on shares of the Parent Company’s common stock. The fair value of equity awards that include only service or performance vesting conditions is determined based on the closing market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of equity awards that include one or more market vesting conditions is determined based on the use of a widely accepted valuation model. The fair value of equity grants is amortized to general and administrative expense ratably over the requisite service period for awards that include only service vesting conditions and utilizing a graded vesting method (an accelerated vesting method in which the majority of compensation expense is recognized in earlier periods) for awards that include one or more market vesting conditions, adjusted for anticipated forfeitures.

Purchase Accounting:

The Company, with the assistance of independent valuation specialists as needed, records the purchase price of acquired properties as tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets (building and land) are recorded based upon the Company’s determination of the value of the property as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow models similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. The fair value of land is derived from comparable sales of land within the same submarket and/or region. The fair value of buildings and improvements, tenant improvements, site improvements and leasing costs are based upon current market replacement costs and other relevant market rate information. Additionally, the purchase price of the applicable property is recorded as the above- or below-market value of in-place leases, the value of in-place leases and above- or below-market value of debt assumed, as applicable.

The value recorded as the above- or below-market component of the acquired in-place leases is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between: (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (2) the Company’s estimate of the amounts that would be paid using fair market rates at the time of acquisition over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts recorded as above-market leases are included in lease intangible assets, net in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable lease term of the acquired leases with each property. The amounts recorded as below-market lease values are included in lease intangible liabilities, net in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable lease term plus any below-market fixed price renewal options of the acquired leases with each property.

The value recorded as above- or below-market debt is determined based upon the present value of the difference between the cash flow stream of the assumed mortgage and the cash flow stream of a market rate mortgage. The amounts recorded as above- or below-market debt are included in mortgage payables, net in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the assumed mortgage.

Tenant receivables:

Tenant receivables and deferred rent are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible current tenant receivables and deferred rent. An allowance is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants to meet the contractual obligations under their lease agreements. The Company maintains an allowance for deferred rent receivable arising from the straight-lining of rents. Such allowances are charged to bad debt expense which is included in other operating expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company’s determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, the tenant’s financial condition, security deposits, letters of credit, lease guarantees, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $920,000 and $719,000, respectively, in allowances for uncollectible accounts as determined to be necessary to reduce receivables to the estimate of the amount recoverable. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, $104,000 and $148,000, respectively, of receivables were charged to bad debt expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, $442,000 and $395,000, respectively, of receivables were charged to bad debt expense.

Non-controlling Interests:

Non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets of the Parent Company relate to the OP units that are not owned by the Parent Company. The OP units not held by the Parent Company may be redeemed by the Parent Company at the holder’s option for cash. The Parent Company, at its option, may satisfy the redemption obligation with common stock on a one-for-one basis, which has been further evaluated to determine that permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate.

In October 2012, the Operating Partnership issued 411,184 OP units in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the West Broad Village property. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, a total of 19,904 OP units related to the Edwards Theatres acquisition were tendered to the Company for redemption, resulting in the issuance of 22,074 shares of common stock by the Parent Company (an equivalent number of OP units were issued by the Operating Partnership to the Parent Company). The OP units were redeemed for common stock on a one-for-one basis, with additional common stock provided as a result of the accompanying additional redemption obligation that guaranteed consideration equal to $14.00 per OP unit on the date of redemption. The remaining additional redemption obligation of $246,000 associated with the Edwards Theatres acquisition expired on March 11, 2013 and was reclassified and recognized as a gain in changes in fair value of financial instruments and gain on OP unit redemption (net of a loss of $16,000 on the OP unit redemption) on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2013, 172,869 OP units related to the Edwards Theatres acquisition remained outstanding, which continue to be redeemable by the OP unitholders for cash or common stock on a one-for-one basis (the determination of redemption for cash or common stock is at the Parent Company’s option).

Non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership represent the portion of equity that the Operating Partnership does not own in those entities it consolidates.

Concentration of Risk:

The Company maintains its cash accounts in a number of commercial banks. Accounts at these banks are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At various times during the periods, the Company had deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, no tenant accounted for more than 10% of revenues.

At June 30, 2013, the Company’s gross real estate assets in the states of California, Arizona and Virginia represented approximately 22.0%, 18.2% and 16.3% of the Company’s total assets, respectively. At December 31, 2012, the Company’s gross real estate assets in the states of Arizona, California and Virginia represented approximately 16.6%, 16.5% and 14.6% of the Company’s total assets, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company’s revenues derived from properties located in the states of California, Arizona, Virginia and Texas represented approximately 21.5%, 18.9%, 12.0% and 10.6% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company’s revenues derived from properties located in the states of California, Arizona, Alabama and Texas represented approximately 29.9%, 21.5%, 10.8% and 10.7% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively.

Management Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The Company measures financial instruments and other items at fair value where required under GAAP, but has elected not to measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair value as permitted under fair value option accounting guidance.

Fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, there is a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company has used interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk (see Note 11). The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives classified as cash flow hedges fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2013, the Company has determined that the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions is not significant. As a result, the Company has determined that its valuations related to derivatives classified as cash flow hedges in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 19).

Changes in the fair value of financial instruments (other than derivative instruments for which an effective hedging relationship exists and available-for-sale securities) are recorded as a charge against earnings in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they occur. The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments at least quarterly based on current facts and circumstances, projected cash flows, quoted market prices and other criteria (primarily utilizing Level 3 inputs). The Company may also utilize the services of independent third-party valuation experts to estimate the fair value of financial instruments, as necessary.

The Company’s investments in equity securities fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as the Company utilizes observable market-based inputs, based on the closing trading price of securities as of the balance sheet date, to determine the fair value of the investments.

Derivative Instruments:

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, from time to time the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.

In addition, from time to time the Company may execute agreements in connection with business combinations that include embedded derivative instruments as part of the consideration provided to the sellers of the properties. Although these embedded derivative instruments are not intended as hedges of risks faced by the Company, they can provide additional consideration to the Company’s selling counterparties and may be a key component of negotiations.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The Company records all derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. In determining the fair value of derivative instruments, the Company also considers the credit risk of its counterparties, which typically constitute larger financial institutions engaged in providing a wide variety of financial services. These financial institutions generally face similar risks regarding changes in market and economic conditions, including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, exchange rates, equity and commodity pricing and credit spreads.

Accounting for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether it has been designated as a hedging instrument and whether the hedging relationship has continued to satisfy the criteria to apply hedge accounting. For derivative instruments qualifying as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value is initially recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in the cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in the cash flows of the hedged item or transaction.

The Company formally documents the hedging relationship for all derivative instruments, has accounted for its interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges and does not utilize derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Revision to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Subsequent to the issuance of the Parent Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Parent Company determined that a cash outflow related to a contingent consideration payment in the six months ended June 30, 2012 should have been reflected as a cash outflow from financing activities rather than operating activities within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The Parent Company reviewed the impact of this correction with respect to the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements and determined that the correction was not material. However, the Parent Company has revised the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to reflect this correction in the prior period. The effect of the correction to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is an increase to cash flows provided by operating activities from an original balance of $16.6 million to a corrected balance of $18.2 million and a decrease to cash flows provided by financing activities from an original balance of $62.9 million to a corrected balance of $61.3 million (a total change of approximately $1.6 million). This correction had no effect on previously reported revenues, net loss, assets or equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”). The amendments in this update provide an entity with the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired to determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. ASU 2012-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 on January 1, 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). The amendments in this update require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income by the net income line item. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 on January 1, 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

17. Income Taxes

Income Taxes of the Parent Company

The Parent Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010. To qualify as a REIT, the Parent Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including the requirement that it distribute currently at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders. It is the Parent Company’s intention to comply with these requirements and maintain the Parent Company’s REIT status. As a REIT, the Parent Company generally will not be subject to corporate federal, state or local income taxes on income it distributes currently (in accordance with the Code and applicable regulations) to its stockholders. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then it will be subject to federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for subsequent tax years. Even if the Parent Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, properties and operations and to federal income and excise taxes on its taxable income not distributed in the amounts and in the time frames prescribed by the Code and applicable regulations thereunder and on the taxable income of any of its taxable REIT subsidiaries.

Income Taxes of the Operating Partnership

As a partnership, the allocated share of income of the Operating Partnership is included in the income tax returns of the general and limited partners. Accordingly, no accounting for income taxes is required in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Operating Partnership may be subject to certain state or local taxes on its income and property.

The Operating Partnership has formed a taxable REIT subsidiary (the “TRS”) on behalf of the general partner. In general, the TRS may perform non-customary services for tenants, hold assets that the general partner cannot hold directly and, except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing of any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated, may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. The TRS is subject to corporate federal income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. There is no tax provision for the TRS for the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income due to net operating losses incurred. No tax benefits have been recorded since it is not considered more likely than not that the deferred tax asset related to the net operating loss carry-forwards will be utilized.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

11. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

In December 2010, the Company executed two pay-fixed interest rate swaps with a notional value of $55.8 million (weighted average interest rate of 1.41%) to hedge the variable cash flows associated with one of the Company’s mortgage payables. As a result of the interest rate swaps, the Company either (1) receives the difference between a fixed interest rate (the “Strike Rate”) and one-month LIBOR if the Strike Rate is less than LIBOR or (2) pays such difference if the Strike Rate is greater than LIBOR. No initial investment was made to enter into either of the interest rate swap agreements. The Company had no derivative financial instruments prior to the execution of the two swaps.

During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded no amounts in earnings attributable to hedge ineffectiveness. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $307,000 will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate swaps and other derivatives instruments (in thousands):

	Fair Value(1)				Current Notional Amount		Strike Rate		Expiration Date
Type of Derivative Instrument	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Interest rate swaps(2)	$	307	$	620	$	55,800		1.34% to 1.48%	December 2013
Other derivative instrument(3)		—		274					March 2013
Total derivative instruments	$	307	$	894

⁽¹⁾ Fair value of derivative instruments does not include any related accrued interest payable to the counterparty.

⁽²⁾ The interest rate swaps are classified within accounts payable and other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

⁽³⁾ The Company’s purchase agreement executed in connection with the acquisition of the Edwards Theatres property in March 2011 contained a provision determined to be an embedded derivative instrument. The embedded derivative provided a guaranteed fair value for the OP units provided to the sellers of the property if redeemed for shares of the Parent Company’s common stock or cash, at the Company’s election, prior to its expiration in March 2013. The fair value of the embedded derivative at each period was calculated through the use of a Monte Carlo valuation model based on the historical volatility and closing price of the Parent Company’s common stock and a risk-free interest rate (see Note 19 for discussion of changes in the fair value of this derivative). The embedded derivative was classified within accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

Under the terms of the two interest rate swaps detailed above, the Company could be declared in default on its obligations under the swap agreements in the event that it defaults on any of its indebtedness, even if repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender. Additionally, because the Company’s derivative counterparty is also the lender for the hedged floating rate credit agreement, the swap agreements incorporate the loan covenant provisions of the Company’s indebtedness. Failure to comply with the loan covenant provisions would result in the Company being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreement.

If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2013, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value. As of June 30, 2013, the termination value defined as the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, was a liability of approximately $357,000. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements.

Although the Company’s derivative contracts are subject to a master netting arrangement, the Company does not net its derivative fair values or any existing rights or obligations to cash collateral on the consolidated balance sheets.

[1] Amount reflects the fair value of funds expected to be received pursuant to master lease agreements executed in connection with the Promenade Corporate Center acquisition. The Company has estimated the fair value of the asset based on its expectations of the probability of leasing or releasing spaces within the term of the master lease agreements and corresponding estimates for time required to lease, lease rates and funds required for tenant improvements and lease commissions. This amount has been included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, with subsequent changes in the fair value of the asset recorded as a gain (loss) in earnings in the period in which the change occurs.

[2] Additional consideration was potentially due to the prior owners of two properties purchased in 2012 contingent upon their ability to lease-up vacant space at those properties during 2013. The balance of $1.8 million at December 31, 2012 represented the Company's best estimate of the fair value of funds expected to be paid to the former owners. The earn-out period for one of the two properties expired at June 30, 2013, resulting in a reversal of the contingent liability of approximately $1.6 million based on a short-fall in the expected leasing. At June 30, 2013, a contingent liability with a fair value of approximately $235,000 remained relating to the potential earn-out for the additional property acquired in 2012 with the earn-out period expiring on September 30, 2013 (the maximum amount of contingent consideration that may be contractually earned by the prior owner at June 30, 2013 is $235,000).

[3] Amount reflects the fair value of a provision within a purchase agreement that provides a guaranteed redemption value for OP units provided to the sellers of the Edwards Theatres property acquired in March 2011. The Company has estimated the fair value of the embedded derivative instrument using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on the historical volatility and closing price of the Parent Company's common stock and a risk-free interest rate. This amount is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, with changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative recorded as gain (loss) on changes in fair value of financial instruments and gain on OP unit redemption in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This embedded derivative instrument expired on March 11, 2013.

[1] The purchase price of $52.3 million reflects $13.9 million in cash paid and the issuance of 3,230,769 shares of common stock with a fair value of approximately $39.1 million based on a closing price of $12.11 per share on the date of acquisition. The purchase price noted above is net of master lease agreements between the Company and the seller in the amount of $772,000 (included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets) based on the estimated fair value of funds expected to be received from escrow in connection with the acquisition. Payments under the master lease agreements commence upon the expiration of two existing leases in June 2012 and February 2013 (with terms through May 2013 and January 2015, respectively) unless the related spaces are re-leased with base rents equaling or exceeding the master lease payments. In addition, the seller has agreed to reimburse the Company for any expenditures resulting from tenant improvements or leasing commissions related to the spaces to the extent that funds remain available pertaining to the master lease agreements. See Note 19 for a discussion of changes in the fair value of this asset after the initial acquisition.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

19. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company is required to disclose fair value information relating to financial instruments that are remeasured on a recurring basis and those that are only initially recognized at fair value (not required to be subsequently remeasured). The Company’s disclosures of estimated fair value of financial instruments were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. The use of different assumptions or methods of estimation may have a material effect on the estimated fair value of financial instruments.

The following table reflects the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

⁽¹⁾ Amount reflects the fair value of funds expected to be received pursuant to master lease agreements executed in connection with the Promenade Corporate Center acquisition. The Company has estimated the fair value of the asset based on its expectations of the probability of leasing or releasing spaces within the term of the master lease agreements and corresponding estimates for time required to lease, lease rates and funds required for tenant improvements and lease commissions. This amount has been included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, with subsequent changes in the fair value of the asset recorded as a gain (loss) in earnings in the period in which the change occurs.

⁽²⁾ Additional consideration was potentially due to the prior owners of two properties purchased in 2012 contingent upon their ability to lease-up vacant space at those properties during 2013. The balance of $1.8 million at December 31, 2012 represented the Company’s best estimate of the fair value of funds expected to be paid to the former owners. The earn-out period for one of the two properties expired at June 30, 2013, resulting in a reversal of the contingent liability of approximately $1.6 million based on a short-fall in the expected leasing. At June 30, 2013, a contingent liability with a fair value of approximately $235,000 remained relating to the potential earn-out for the additional property acquired in 2012 with the earn-out period expiring on September 30, 2013 (the maximum amount of contingent consideration that may be contractually earned by the prior owner at June 30, 2013 is $235,000).

⁽³⁾ Amount reflects the fair value of a provision within a purchase agreement that provides a guaranteed redemption value for OP units provided to the sellers of the Edwards Theatres property acquired in March 2011. The Company has estimated the fair value of the embedded derivative instrument using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on the historical volatility and closing price of the Parent Company’s common stock and a risk-free interest rate. This amount is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, with changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative recorded as gain (loss) on changes in fair value of financial instruments and gain on OP unit redemption in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This embedded derivative instrument expired on March 11, 2013.

During the period from March 2012 to March 2013, 591,474 OP units were tendered to the Company for redemption, resulting in the issuance of 531,768 shares of common stock and cash payments totaling approximately $1.9 million. The Company has recognized the acquisition of non-controlling interests based on the fair value of shares issuable in connection with the one-for-one redemption right available to all holders of OP units. The Company recognized a loss of approximately $16,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of the deficit of the fair value of the guarantee over the fair value of the consideration required to settle. The Company recognized gains of approximately $175,000 and $349,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as a result of the excess of the fair value of the guarantee over the fair value of the consideration required to settle. In total, the Company recognized increases in additional paid-in capital and common stock, par value, of approximately $279,000 and $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company also recognized additional gains of $246,000 and $702,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as a result of revaluations of the redemption obligation.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of financial instruments that are remeasured on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2013 (in thousands):

	Other Assets Related to Business Combinations(1)			Contingent Consideration Related to Business Combinations(2)			Derivative Instruments Related to Business Combinations(3)

⁽¹⁾ The change of $271,000 for other assets related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2013 is comprised of payments received on the master lease assets and an increase in the estimated fair value of funds to be received from escrow of $6,000.

⁽²⁾ The change of $1.6 million for contingent consideration related to business combinations represents the reversal of a contingent liability related to the earn-out for one property as a result of a shortfall in expected leasing of vacant space at the property (recognized as changes in fair value of contingent consideration in the condensed consolidated statements of operations). The remaining earn-out has a fair value of approximately $235,000 based on the funds expected to be paid to the former owner, with the earn-out period expiring on September 30, 2013.

⁽³⁾ The change of $274,000 for derivative instruments related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2013 is related to changes to the redemption provision for OP units issued in connection with the 2011 Edwards Theatres acquisition as a result of (a) a decrease of $246,000 due to recognition of a gain included in earnings related to changes in the fair value of the redemption obligation and (b) a decrease of $28,000 due to the redemption of corresponding OP units.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of financial instruments that are remeasured on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2012 (in thousands):

	Other Assets Related to Business Combinations(1)		Contingent Consideration Related to Business Combinations(2)			Derivative Instruments Related to Business Combinations(3)

Purchases, issuances, or settlements		772		1,613			654
Ending balance, June 30, 2012	$	772	$	—		$	(1,345	)

⁽¹⁾ The change of $772,000 for other assets related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is comprised of the recognition of a master lease asset of $772,000 related to the acquisition of the Promenade Corporate Center property (see Note 3).

⁽²⁾ The change of $1.6 million for contingent consideration related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is comprised of a decrease in the obligation due to the payment of approximately $1.6 million in earn-outs in January 2012.

⁽³⁾ The change of $1.7 million for derivative instruments related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is related to changes to the redemption provision for OP units issued in connection with the 2011 Edwards Theatres acquisition and is comprised of (a) a decrease of $1.0 million due to recognition of a gain related to changes in the fair value of the redemption obligation and a gain of $349,000 resulting from the redemption of OP units and (b) a decrease in the redemption obligation of $654,000 due to the redemption of corresponding OP units.

There were no additional gains or losses, purchases, sales, issuances, settlements, or transfers in or out related to any of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

The following table provides quantitative disclosure about significant unobservable inputs related to financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) as of June 30, 2013:

	Fair Value at June 30, 2013			Valuation Technique(s)		Unobservable Input		Range (Weighted Average)
Other assets related to business combinations(1)	$	721			Cash flow		Tenant improvement allowance Lease commission TI construction period	$ $	12.00/sf - 35.00/sf 6.0 2-5 months	%
Contingent consideration related to business combinations(2)	$	(235	)		Cash flow		Tenant improvement allowance Lease commission TI construction period	$	35.00/sf 6.0 2 months	%

⁽¹⁾ The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the master lease agreement asset are any estimated tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions and the construction periods associated with projected new leasing. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for market lease rates is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for tenant improvement allowances and/or leasing commissions.

⁽²⁾ The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration are any estimated tenant improvement allowances, construction periods, leasing commissions and lease rates. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for market lease rates is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for tenant improvement allowances and/or leasing commissions.

The Company has not elected the fair value measurement option for any of its other financial assets or liabilities. The Company has estimated the fair value of its financial assets using a discounted cash flow analysis based on an appropriate market rate for a similar type of instrument. The Company has estimated the fair value of its financial liabilities by using either (1) a discounted cash flow analysis using an appropriate market discount rate for similar types of instruments, or (2) a present value model and an interest rate that includes a credit value adjustment based on the estimated value of the property that serves as collateral for the underlying debt. The fair values of financial instruments not included in this table are estimated to be equal to their carrying amounts.

The fair values of certain additional financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (fair value measurements categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) are as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2013				December 31, 2012

Mortgage notes payable, net	$	301,235	$	333,935

⁽¹⁾ Amount represents the monthly payment of principal and interest at June 30, 2013.

⁽²⁾ The loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% (variable interest rate of 2.50% at each of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012). In December 2010, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts, which fix LIBOR at an average of 1.41% for the term of the loan. The maturity date may be extended for an additional one-year period through December 2014 at the Company’s option and upon the satisfaction of conditions precedent and the payment of an extension fee.

⁽³⁾ The maturity date for the Red Rock Commons construction loan was extended to March 2014 and may be extended for an additional one-year period through March 2015 at the Company’s option and upon the satisfaction of conditions precedent and the payment of an extension fee. The construction loan bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 165 basis points to 225 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio (variable interest rate of 1.90% at June 30, 2013 and 2.45% at December 31, 2012).

⁽⁴⁾ The loan at the West Broad Village property was refinanced in April 2013 and bears a fixed rate of 3.33% with a new maturity date of May 1, 2020. Debt payments are interest-only through May 2016.

⁽⁵⁾ The debt represents redevelopment revenue bonds to be used for the redevelopment of this property, which mature in November 2035. Interest is reset weekly and determined by the bond remarketing agent based on the market value of the bonds (interest rate of 0.07% at June 30, 2013 and 0.14% at December 31, 2012). The interest rate on the bonds is currently priced off of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association index but could change based on the credit of the bonds. The bonds are secured by a $12.1 million letter of credit issued by the Company from the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. An underwriter’s discount related to the original issuance of the bonds with a remaining balance of $107,000 and $110,000 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, will be amortized as additional interest expense through November 2035.

⁽⁶⁾ Represents (a) the fair value adjustment on assumed debt on acquired properties at the time of acquisition to account for below- or above-market interest rates and (b) an underwriter’s discount for the issuance of redevelopment bonds.

Pro forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 has been prepared to reflect the incremental effect of the properties acquired in 2013 and 2012, as if such acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2012 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended

Net income (loss)(1)	$	3,472	$	(95	)	$	3,840	$	242

⁽¹⁾ Pro forma results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were adjusted to exclude non-recurring acquisition costs of approximately $57,000 related to the 2013 acquisition. The pro forma results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were adjusted to include these costs relating to the 2013 acquisition. A portion of the 2012 acquisitions were funded with proceeds from the offering of 8.125% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series B preferred stock”) that closed in January 2012. However, pro forma net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is not adjusted for this funding as the assumed Series B preferred stock quarterly dividends of approximately $1.9 million are not included in the determination of net income (included only as a reduction of net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders).

⁽¹⁾ The purchase price of $52.3 million reflects $13.9 million in cash paid and the issuance of 3,230,769 shares of common stock with a fair value of approximately $39.1 million based on a closing price of $12.11 per share on the date of acquisition. The purchase price noted above is net of master lease agreements between the Company and the seller in the amount of $772,000 (included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets) based on the estimated fair value of funds expected to be received from escrow in connection with the acquisition. Payments under the master lease agreements commence upon the expiration of two existing leases in June 2012 and February 2013 (with terms through May 2013 and January 2015, respectively) unless the related spaces are re-leased with base rents equaling or exceeding the master lease payments. In addition, the seller has agreed to reimburse the Company for any expenditures resulting from tenant improvements or leasing commissions related to the spaces to the extent that funds remain available pertaining to the master lease agreements. See Note 19 for a discussion of changes in the fair value of this asset after the initial acquisition.

⁽²⁾ This property was originally purchased as a consolidated property. However, in September 2012 the La Costa Town Center property was contributed in exchange for proceeds of approximately $21.2 million to a newly-formed entity in which the Company holds a 20% ownership interest (see Note 14). The Company accounts for its remaining equity ownership in the property in a manner similar to the equity method of accounting, which is reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as an investment in unconsolidated entities.

Commitments and Contingencies

18. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation:

The Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against it which if determined unfavorably, would have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental Matters:

The Company follows the policy of monitoring its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist at its properties, the Company is not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to its properties that would have a material effect on its condensed consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows. Further, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that it believes would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

Other

The Company’s other commitments and contingencies include the usual obligations of real estate owners and operators in the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, the Company expects to incur construction costs relating to development projects on portions of existing operating properties (including the Company’s proportionate share of costs related to the redevelopment of the unconsolidated La Costa Town Center property).

⁽¹⁾ The purchase price of $52.3 million reflects $13.9 million in cash paid and the issuance of 3,230,769 shares of common stock with a fair value of approximately $39.1 million based on a closing price of $12.11 per share on the date of acquisition. The purchase price noted above is net of master lease agreements between the Company and the seller in the amount of $772,000 (included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets) based on the estimated fair value of funds expected to be received from escrow in connection with the acquisition. Payments under the master lease agreements commence upon the expiration of two existing leases in June 2012 and February 2013 (with terms through May 2013 and January 2015, respectively) unless the related spaces are re-leased with base rents equaling or exceeding the master lease payments. In addition, the seller has agreed to reimburse the Company for any expenditures resulting from tenant improvements or leasing commissions related to the spaces to the extent that funds remain available pertaining to the master lease agreements. See Note 19 for a discussion of changes in the fair value of this asset after the initial acquisition.

⁽²⁾ This property was originally purchased as a consolidated property. However, in September 2012 the La Costa Town Center property was contributed in exchange for proceeds of approximately $21.2 million to a newly-formed entity in which the Company holds a 20% ownership interest (see Note 14). The Company accounts for its remaining equity ownership in the property in a manner similar to the equity method of accounting, which is reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as an investment in unconsolidated entities.

The Company recorded revenues and a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $746,000 and $10,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $1.3 million and $12,000, respectively, related to the 2013 acquisition. The Company recorded revenues and net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 of $3.5 million and $36,000, respectively, and recorded revenues and a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $7.0 million and $12,000, respectively, related to the 2012 acquisitions.

The following unaudited pro forma information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 has been prepared to reflect the incremental effect of the properties acquired in 2013 and 2012, as if such acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2012 (in thousands):

⁽¹⁾ Pro forma results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were adjusted to exclude non-recurring acquisition costs of approximately $57,000 related to the 2013 acquisition. The pro forma results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were adjusted to include these costs relating to the 2013 acquisition. A portion of the 2012 acquisitions were funded with proceeds from the offering of 8.125% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series B preferred stock”) that closed in January 2012. However, pro forma net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is not adjusted for this funding as the assumed Series B preferred stock quarterly dividends of approximately $1.9 million are not included in the determination of net income (included only as a reduction of net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders).

At June 30, 2013, the allocation of purchase price to tangible and intangible assets for all 2012 and 2013 acquisitions had been completed with the exception of one item pertaining to the Company’s acquisition of the West Broad Village property. In connection with the acquisition of this property, the Company received a credit at closing in the amount of $450,000 (recorded as a liability) representing the estimated amount due to the property’s tenants for prior periods in which the landlord had not yet completed a reconciliation of common area maintenance expenses. The seller had not provided the Company with the information necessary to complete the reconciliations as of June 30, 2013, but the Company expects to receive the necessary information prior to September 30, 2013.

Jun. 30, 2013

Organization

1. Organization:

Excel Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Parent Company”), is a vertically integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate firm with the principal objective of acquiring, financing, developing, leasing, owning and managing value oriented community and power centers, grocery anchored neighborhood centers and freestanding retail properties. It conducts substantially all of its business through its subsidiary, Excel Trust, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and together with the Parent Company referred to as the “Company”). The Company seeks investment opportunities throughout the United States, but focuses on the Northeast, Northwest and Sunbelt regions. The Company generally leases anchor space to national and regional supermarket chains, big-box retailers and select national retailers that frequently offer necessity and value oriented items and generate regular consumer traffic.

The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of June 30, 2013, owned a 97.5% interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 2.5% interest in the Operating Partnership is held by limited partners. Each partner’s percentage interest in the Operating Partnership is determined based on the number of common operating partnership units (“OP units”) owned as compared to total OP units (and potentially issuable OP units, as applicable) outstanding as of each period end and is used as the basis for the allocation of net income or loss to each partner.

Schedule of Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on Recurring Basis

The following table reflects the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	Balance at June 30, 2013			Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Total	$	(2,681	)	$	—	$	(620	)	$	(2,061	)

⁽¹⁾ Amount reflects the fair value of funds expected to be received pursuant to master lease agreements executed in connection with the Promenade Corporate Center acquisition. The Company has estimated the fair value of the asset based on its expectations of the probability of leasing or releasing spaces within the term of the master lease agreements and corresponding estimates for time required to lease, lease rates and funds required for tenant improvements and lease commissions. This amount has been included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, with subsequent changes in the fair value of the asset recorded as a gain (loss) in earnings in the period in which the change occurs.

⁽²⁾ Additional consideration was potentially due to the prior owners of two properties purchased in 2012 contingent upon their ability to lease-up vacant space at those properties during 2013. The balance of $1.8 million at December 31, 2012 represented the Company’s best estimate of the fair value of funds expected to be paid to the former owners. The earn-out period for one of the two properties expired at June 30, 2013, resulting in a reversal of the contingent liability of approximately $1.6 million based on a short-fall in the expected leasing. At June 30, 2013, a contingent liability with a fair value of approximately $235,000 remained relating to the potential earn-out for the additional property acquired in 2012 with the earn-out period expiring on September 30, 2013 (the maximum amount of contingent consideration that may be contractually earned by the prior owner at June 30, 2013 is $235,000).

⁽³⁾ Amount reflects the fair value of a provision within a purchase agreement that provides a guaranteed redemption value for OP units provided to the sellers of the Edwards Theatres property acquired in March 2011. The Company has estimated the fair value of the embedded derivative instrument using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on the historical volatility and closing price of the Parent Company’s common stock and a risk-free interest rate. This amount is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, with changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative recorded as gain (loss) on changes in fair value of financial instruments and gain on OP unit redemption in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This embedded derivative instrument expired on March 11, 2013.

Statement of Reconciliation of Financial Instruments Remeasured on Recurring Basis

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of financial instruments that are remeasured on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2013 (in thousands):

	Other Assets Related to Business Combinations(1)			Contingent Consideration Related to Business Combinations(2)			Derivative Instruments Related to Business Combinations(3)
Beginning balance, January 1, 2013	$	992		$	(1,787	)	$	(274	)

Purchases, issuances, or settlements		(277	)		—			28
Ending balance, June 30, 2013	$	721		$	(235	)	$	—

⁽¹⁾ The change of $271,000 for other assets related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2013 is comprised of payments received on the master lease assets and an increase in the estimated fair value of funds to be received from escrow of $6,000.

⁽²⁾ The change of $1.6 million for contingent consideration related to business combinations represents the reversal of a contingent liability related to the earn-out for one property as a result of a shortfall in expected leasing of vacant space at the property (recognized as changes in fair value of contingent consideration in the condensed consolidated statements of operations). The remaining earn-out has a fair value of approximately $235,000 based on the funds expected to be paid to the former owner, with the earn-out period expiring on September 30, 2013.

⁽³⁾ The change of $274,000 for derivative instruments related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2013 is related to changes to the redemption provision for OP units issued in connection with the 2011 Edwards Theatres acquisition as a result of (a) a decrease of $246,000 due to recognition of a gain included in earnings related to changes in the fair value of the redemption obligation and (b) a decrease of $28,000 due to the redemption of corresponding OP units.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of financial instruments that are remeasured on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2012 (in thousands):

	Other Assets Related to Business Combinations(1)		Contingent Consideration Related to Business Combinations(2)			Derivative Instruments Related to Business Combinations(3)

Purchases, issuances, or settlements		772		1,613			654
Ending balance, June 30, 2012	$	772	$	—		$	(1,345	)

⁽¹⁾ The change of $772,000 for other assets related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is comprised of the recognition of a master lease asset of $772,000 related to the acquisition of the Promenade Corporate Center property (see Note 3).

⁽²⁾ The change of $1.6 million for contingent consideration related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is comprised of a decrease in the obligation due to the payment of approximately $1.6 million in earn-outs in January 2012.

⁽³⁾ The change of $1.7 million for derivative instruments related to business combinations during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is related to changes to the redemption provision for OP units issued in connection with the 2011 Edwards Theatres acquisition and is comprised of (a) a decrease of $1.0 million due to recognition of a gain related to changes in the fair value of the redemption obligation and a gain of $349,000 resulting from the redemption of OP units and (b) a decrease in the redemption obligation of $654,000 due to the redemption of corresponding OP units.

Quantitative Disclosure of Significant Unobservable Inputs Relating to Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring Basis

The following table provides quantitative disclosure about significant unobservable inputs related to financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) as of June 30, 2013:

	Fair Value at June 30, 2013			Valuation Technique(s)		Unobservable Input		Range (Weighted Average)
Other assets related to business combinations(1)	$	721			Cash flow		Tenant improvement allowance Lease commission TI construction period	$ $	12.00/sf - 35.00/sf 6.0 2-5 months	%
Contingent consideration related to business combinations(2)	$	(235	)		Cash flow		Tenant improvement allowance Lease commission TI construction period	$	35.00/sf 6.0 2 months	%

⁽¹⁾ The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the master lease agreement asset are any estimated tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions and the construction periods associated with projected new leasing. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for market lease rates is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for tenant improvement allowances and/or leasing commissions.

⁽²⁾ The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration are any estimated tenant improvement allowances, construction periods, leasing commissions and lease rates. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for market lease rates is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for tenant improvement allowances and/or leasing commissions.

Fair Values of Certain Additional Financial Assets and Liabilities

The fair values of certain additional financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (fair value measurements categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) are as follows (in thousands):

Segment Disclosure

21. Segment Disclosure

The Company’s reportable segments consist of the three types of commercial real estate properties for which management internally evaluates operating performance and financial results: Office Properties, Multi-family Properties (new in 2012) and Retail Properties. The Company was formed for the primary purpose of owning and operating Retail Properties. As such, administrative costs are shown under the Retail Properties segment. The Retail Properties operating segment also includes undeveloped land which the Company intends to develop into retail properties.

The Company evaluates the performance of the operating segments based upon property operating income. “Property Operating Income” is defined as operating revenues (rental revenue and tenant recoveries) less property operating expenses (maintenance and repairs, real estate taxes, management fees, and other operating expenses). The Company also evaluates interest expense, interest income and depreciation and amortization by segment. Corporate general and administrative expense, interest expense related to corporate indebtedness and other non-recurring gains or losses are reflected within the Retail Properties operating segment as this constitutes the Company’s primary business objective and represents the majority of its operations. There is no intersegment activity.

The following tables reconcile the Company’s segment activity to its condensed consolidated results of operations and financial position for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

[3] The Company's purchase agreement executed in connection with the acquisition of the Edwards Theatres property in March 2011 contained a provision determined to be an embedded derivative instrument. The embedded derivative provided a guaranteed fair value for the OP units provided to the sellers of the property if redeemed for shares of the Parent Company's common stock or cash, at the Company's election, prior to its expiration in March 2013. The fair value of the embedded derivative at each period was calculated through the use of a Monte Carlo valuation model based on the historical volatility and closing price of the Parent Company's common stock and a risk-free interest rate (see Note 19 for discussion of changes in the fair value of this derivative). The embedded derivative was classified within accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The pro forma results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were adjusted to include these costs relating to the 2013 acquisition. A portion of the 2012 acquisitions were funded with proceeds from the offering of 8.125% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series B preferred stock") that closed in January 2012. However, pro forma net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is not adjusted for this funding as the assumed Series B preferred stock quarterly dividends of approximately $1.9 million are not included in the determination of net income (included only as a reduction of net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders).

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

Included within the condensed consolidated financial statements is the 50% owned joint venture with AB Dothan, LLC, that is deemed a VIE, and for which the Company is the primary beneficiary as it has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE. The joint venture’s activities principally consist of owning and operating a neighborhood retail center with 171,670 square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) located in Dothan, Alabama.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, total carrying amount of assets was approximately $15.7 million and $15.9 million, respectively, which includes approximately $13.5 million and $13.6 million, respectively, of real estate assets at the end of each period. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total carrying amount of liabilities was approximately $14.3 million.

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

On December 9, 2010, the Company loaned $2.0 million to an unaffiliated borrower which has been identified as a VIE. In June 2012, the counterparty repaid the loan in full. The Company did not consolidate the VIE because it did not have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impacted the VIE’s economic performance. See Note 7 for an additional description of the nature, purposes and activities of the Company’s VIE and interests therein.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2013

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include all the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and have not been audited by independent registered public accountants.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto in the Parent Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the Operating Partnership’s Registration Statement on Form 10. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods have been made. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, for which cost approximates fair value, due to their short term maturities.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash:

Restricted cash is comprised of impound reserve accounts for property taxes, insurance, capital improvements and tenant improvements.

Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities

Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities:

Included in accounts payable and other liabilities are deferred rents in the amount of $3.6 million and $4.4 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition:

The Company commences revenue recognition on its 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. In determining what constitutes the leased asset, the Company evaluates whether the Company or the lessee is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements. If the Company is 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 the Company concludes that it is 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 reduce revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective lease. In these circumstances, the Company begins revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct improvements. The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements is highly subjective and determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. The Company considers a number of different factors to evaluate whether it 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;

• the responsible party for construction cost overruns; and

• who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements.

Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease. The difference between the amount of cash rent due in a year and the amount recorded as rental income is referred to as the “straight-line rent adjustment.” Rental income (net of write-offs for uncollectible amounts) increased by $1.1 million and $589,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $2.0 million and $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, due to the straight-line rent adjustment. Percentage rent is recognized after tenant sales have exceeded defined thresholds (if applicable) and was $185,000 and $153,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $570,000 and $361,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Estimated recoveries from certain tenants for their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred or as specified in the leases. Other tenants pay a fixed rate and these tenant recoveries are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases.

Property

Property:

Costs incurred in connection with the development or construction of properties and improvements are capitalized. Capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes and related costs and other direct costs incurred during the period of development. The Company capitalizes costs on land and buildings under development until construction is substantially complete and the property is held available for occupancy. The determination of when a development project is substantially complete and when capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The Company considers a construction project as substantially complete and held available for occupancy upon the completion of landlord-owned tenant improvements or when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for construction of its own improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. The Company ceases capitalization on the portion substantially completed and occupied or held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with any remaining portion under construction. In March 2012, the Company reclassified the majority of construction in progress costs relating to two non-operating properties into the corresponding buildings, site improvements and tenant improvements financial statement line items upon substantial completion of development activities.

Maintenance and repairs expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Costs for major replacements and betterments, which include HVAC equipment, roofs, parking lots, etc., are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Gains and losses are recognized upon disposal or retirement of the related assets and are reflected in earnings.

Property is recorded at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets as follows:

Building and improvements	15 to 40 years
Tenant improvements	Shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the related leases

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed:

The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. This assessment considers expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include the tenants’ ability to perform their duties and pay rent under the terms of the leases. The determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense, expected to result from the long-lived asset’s use and eventual disposition. The Company’s evaluation as to whether impairment may exist, including estimates of future anticipated cash flows, are highly subjective and could differ materially from actual results in future periods. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flows analysis, with the carrying value of the related assets. Although the Company’s strategy is to hold its properties over a long-term period, if the strategy changes or market conditions dictate that the sale of properties at an earlier date would be preferable, a property may be classified as held for sale and an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. There was no impairment recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012.

Investments in Equity Securities

Investments in Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies:

The Company evaluates its investments in limited liability companies and partnerships to determine whether such entities may be a VIE and, if a VIE, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. Generally, an entity is determined to be a VIE when either (1) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties or (2) as a group, the holders of the equity investment lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (1) the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company considers a variety of factors in identifying the entity that holds the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance including, but not limited to, the ability to direct financing, leasing, construction and other operating decisions and activities. In addition, the Company considers the form of ownership interest, voting interest, the size of the investment (including loans) and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions, to replace or remove the manager and to liquidate or sell the entity. The obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits when a reporting entity is affiliated with a VIE must be based on ownership, contractual, and/or other pecuniary interests in that VIE.

If the foregoing conditions do not apply, the Company considers whether a general partner or managing member controls a limited partnership or limited liability company. The general partner in a limited partnership or managing member in a limited liability company is presumed to control that limited partnership or limited liability company. The presumption may be overcome if the limited partners or members have either (1) the substantive ability to dissolve the limited partnership or limited liability company or otherwise remove the general partner or managing member without cause or (2) substantive participating rights, which provide the limited partners or members with the ability to effectively participate in significant decisions that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of the limited partnership’s or limited liability company’s business and thereby preclude the general partner or managing member from exercising unilateral control over the partnership or company. If these criteria are not met and the Company is the general partner or the managing member, as applicable, the Company will consolidate the partnership or limited liability company.

Investments that are not consolidated, over which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s portion of earnings or losses and for cash contributions and distributions. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s investment is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and its share of net income or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Share-Based Payments

Share-Based Payments:

All share-based payments to employees are recognized in earnings based on their fair value on the date of grant. Through June 30, 2013, the Company has awarded only restricted stock awards under its incentive award plan, which are based on shares of the Parent Company’s common stock. The fair value of equity awards that include only service or performance vesting conditions is determined based on the closing market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of equity awards that include one or more market vesting conditions is determined based on the use of a widely accepted valuation model. The fair value of equity grants is amortized to general and administrative expense ratably over the requisite service period for awards that include only service vesting conditions and utilizing a graded vesting method (an accelerated vesting method in which the majority of compensation expense is recognized in earlier periods) for awards that include one or more market vesting conditions, adjusted for anticipated forfeitures.

Purchase Accounting

Purchase Accounting:

The Company, with the assistance of independent valuation specialists as needed, records the purchase price of acquired properties as tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets (building and land) are recorded based upon the Company’s determination of the value of the property as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow models similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. The fair value of land is derived from comparable sales of land within the same submarket and/or region. The fair value of buildings and improvements, tenant improvements, site improvements and leasing costs are based upon current market replacement costs and other relevant market rate information. Additionally, the purchase price of the applicable property is recorded as the above- or below-market value of in-place leases, the value of in-place leases and above- or below-market value of debt assumed, as applicable.

The value recorded as the above- or below-market component of the acquired in-place leases is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between: (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (2) the Company’s estimate of the amounts that would be paid using fair market rates at the time of acquisition over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts recorded as above-market leases are included in lease intangible assets, net in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable lease term of the acquired leases with each property. The amounts recorded as below-market lease values are included in lease intangible liabilities, net in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable lease term plus any below-market fixed price renewal options of the acquired leases with each property.

The value recorded as above- or below-market debt is determined based upon the present value of the difference between the cash flow stream of the assumed mortgage and the cash flow stream of a market rate mortgage. The amounts recorded as above- or below-market debt are included in mortgage payables, net in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the assumed mortgage.

Tenant receivables

Tenant receivables:

Tenant receivables and deferred rent are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible current tenant receivables and deferred rent. An allowance is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants to meet the contractual obligations under their lease agreements. The Company maintains an allowance for deferred rent receivable arising from the straight-lining of rents. Such allowances are charged to bad debt expense which is included in other operating expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company’s determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, the tenant’s financial condition, security deposits, letters of credit, lease guarantees, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $920,000 and $719,000, respectively, in allowances for uncollectible accounts as determined to be necessary to reduce receivables to the estimate of the amount recoverable. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, $104,000 and $148,000, respectively, of receivables were charged to bad debt expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, $442,000 and $395,000, respectively, of receivables were charged to bad debt expense.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling Interests:

Non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets of the Parent Company relate to the OP units that are not owned by the Parent Company. The OP units not held by the Parent Company may be redeemed by the Parent Company at the holder’s option for cash. The Parent Company, at its option, may satisfy the redemption obligation with common stock on a one-for-one basis, which has been further evaluated to determine that permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate.

In October 2012, the Operating Partnership issued 411,184 OP units in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the West Broad Village property. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, a total of 19,904 OP units related to the Edwards Theatres acquisition were tendered to the Company for redemption, resulting in the issuance of 22,074 shares of common stock by the Parent Company (an equivalent number of OP units were issued by the Operating Partnership to the Parent Company). The OP units were redeemed for common stock on a one-for-one basis, with additional common stock provided as a result of the accompanying additional redemption obligation that guaranteed consideration equal to $14.00 per OP unit on the date of redemption. The remaining additional redemption obligation of $246,000 associated with the Edwards Theatres acquisition expired on March 11, 2013 and was reclassified and recognized as a gain in changes in fair value of financial instruments and gain on OP unit redemption (net of a loss of $16,000 on the OP unit redemption) on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2013, 172,869 OP units related to the Edwards Theatres acquisition remained outstanding, which continue to be redeemable by the OP unitholders for cash or common stock on a one-for-one basis (the determination of redemption for cash or common stock is at the Parent Company’s option).

Non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership represent the portion of equity that the Operating Partnership does not own in those entities it consolidates.

Concentration of Risk

Concentration of Risk:

The Company maintains its cash accounts in a number of commercial banks. Accounts at these banks are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At various times during the periods, the Company had deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, no tenant accounted for more than 10% of revenues.

At June 30, 2013, the Company’s gross real estate assets in the states of California, Arizona and Virginia represented approximately 22.0%, 18.2% and 16.3% of the Company’s total assets, respectively. At December 31, 2012, the Company’s gross real estate assets in the states of Arizona, California and Virginia represented approximately 16.6%, 16.5% and 14.6% of the Company’s total assets, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company’s revenues derived from properties located in the states of California, Arizona, Virginia and Texas represented approximately 21.5%, 18.9%, 12.0% and 10.6% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company’s revenues derived from properties located in the states of California, Arizona, Alabama and Texas represented approximately 29.9%, 21.5%, 10.8% and 10.7% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively.

Management Estimates

Management Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The Company measures financial instruments and other items at fair value where required under GAAP, but has elected not to measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair value as permitted under fair value option accounting guidance.

Fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, there is a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company has used interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk (see Note 11). The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives classified as cash flow hedges fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2013, the Company has determined that the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions is not significant. As a result, the Company has determined that its valuations related to derivatives classified as cash flow hedges in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 19).

Changes in the fair value of financial instruments (other than derivative instruments for which an effective hedging relationship exists and available-for-sale securities) are recorded as a charge against earnings in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they occur. The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments at least quarterly based on current facts and circumstances, projected cash flows, quoted market prices and other criteria (primarily utilizing Level 3 inputs). The Company may also utilize the services of independent third-party valuation experts to estimate the fair value of financial instruments, as necessary.

The Company’s investments in equity securities fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as the Company utilizes observable market-based inputs, based on the closing trading price of securities as of the balance sheet date, to determine the fair value of the investments.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments:

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, from time to time the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.

In addition, from time to time the Company may execute agreements in connection with business combinations that include embedded derivative instruments as part of the consideration provided to the sellers of the properties. Although these embedded derivative instruments are not intended as hedges of risks faced by the Company, they can provide additional consideration to the Company’s selling counterparties and may be a key component of negotiations.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The Company records all derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. In determining the fair value of derivative instruments, the Company also considers the credit risk of its counterparties, which typically constitute larger financial institutions engaged in providing a wide variety of financial services. These financial institutions generally face similar risks regarding changes in market and economic conditions, including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, exchange rates, equity and commodity pricing and credit spreads.

Accounting for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether it has been designated as a hedging instrument and whether the hedging relationship has continued to satisfy the criteria to apply hedge accounting. For derivative instruments qualifying as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value is initially recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in the cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in the cash flows of the hedged item or transaction.

The Company formally documents the hedging relationship for all derivative instruments, has accounted for its interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges and does not utilize derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Revision to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

Revision to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Subsequent to the issuance of the Parent Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Parent Company determined that a cash outflow related to a contingent consideration payment in the six months ended June 30, 2012 should have been reflected as a cash outflow from financing activities rather than operating activities within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The Parent Company reviewed the impact of this correction with respect to the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements and determined that the correction was not material. However, the Parent Company has revised the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to reflect this correction in the prior period. The effect of the correction to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is an increase to cash flows provided by operating activities from an original balance of $16.6 million to a corrected balance of $18.2 million and a decrease to cash flows provided by financing activities from an original balance of $62.9 million to a corrected balance of $61.3 million (a total change of approximately $1.6 million). This correction had no effect on previously reported revenues, net loss, assets or equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”). The amendments in this update provide an entity with the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired to determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. ASU 2012-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 on January 1, 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). The amendments in this update require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income by the net income line item. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 on January 1, 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate swaps and other derivatives instruments (in thousands):

	Fair Value(1)				Current Notional Amount		Strike Rate		Expiration Date
Type of Derivative Instrument	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Interest rate swaps(2)	$	307	$	620	$	55,800		1.34% to 1.48%	December 2013

⁽¹⁾ Fair value of derivative instruments does not include any related accrued interest payable to the counterparty.

⁽²⁾ The interest rate swaps are classified within accounts payable and other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

⁽³⁾ The Company’s purchase agreement executed in connection with the acquisition of the Edwards Theatres property in March 2011 contained a provision determined to be an embedded derivative instrument. The embedded derivative provided a guaranteed fair value for the OP units provided to the sellers of the property if redeemed for shares of the Parent Company’s common stock or cash, at the Company’s election, prior to its expiration in March 2013. The fair value of the embedded derivative at each period was calculated through the use of a Monte Carlo valuation model based on the historical volatility and closing price of the Parent Company’s common stock and a risk-free interest rate (see Note 19 for discussion of changes in the fair value of this derivative). The embedded derivative was classified within accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

[1] Represents (a) the fair value adjustment on assumed debt on acquired properties at the time of acquisition to account for below- or above-market interest rates and (b) an underwriter's discount for the issuance of redevelopment bonds.

[2] The loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% (variable interest rate of 2.50% at each of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012). In December 2010, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts, which fix LIBOR at an average of 1.41% for the term of the loan. The maturity date may be extended for an additional one-year period through December 2014 at the Company's option and upon the satisfaction of conditions precedent and the payment of an extension fee.

[3] Amount represents the monthly payment of principal and interest at June 30, 2013.

[4] The maturity date for the Red Rock Commons construction loan was extended to March 2014 and may be extended for an additional one-year period through March 2015 at the Company's option and upon the satisfaction of conditions precedent and the payment of an extension fee. The construction loan bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 165 basis points to 225 basis points, depending on the Company's leverage ratio (variable interest rate of 1.90% at June 30, 2013 and 2.45% at December 31, 2012).

[5] The loan at the West Broad Village property was refinanced in April 2013 and bears a fixed rate of 3.33% with a new maturity date of May 1, 2020. Debt payments are interest-only through May 2016.

[6] The debt represents redevelopment revenue bonds to be used for the redevelopment of this property, which mature in November 2035. Interest is reset weekly and determined by the bond remarketing agent based on the market value of the bonds (interest rate of 0.07% at June 30, 2013 and 0.14% at December 31, 2012). The interest rate on the bonds is currently priced off of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association index but could change based on the credit of the bonds. The bonds are secured by a $12.1 million letter of credit issued by the Company from the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility. An underwriter's discount related to the original issuance of the bonds with a remaining balance of $107,000 and $110,000 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, will be amortized as additional interest expense through November 2035.

⁽¹⁾ Amount represents the monthly payment of principal and interest at June 30, 2013.

⁽²⁾ The loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% (variable interest rate of 2.50% at each of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012). In December 2010, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts, which fix LIBOR at an average of 1.41% for the term of the loan. The maturity date may be extended for an additional one-year period through December 2014 at the Company’s option and upon the satisfaction of conditions precedent and the payment of an extension fee.

⁽³⁾ The maturity date for the Red Rock Commons construction loan was extended to March 2014 and may be extended for an additional one-year period through March 2015 at the Company’s option and upon the satisfaction of conditions precedent and the payment of an extension fee. The construction loan bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 165 basis points to 225 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio (variable interest rate of 1.90% at June 30, 2013 and 2.45% at December 31, 2012).

⁽⁴⁾ The loan at the West Broad Village property was refinanced in April 2013 and bears a fixed rate of 3.33% with a new maturity date of May 1, 2020. Debt payments are interest-only through May 2016.

⁽⁵⁾ The debt represents redevelopment revenue bonds to be used for the redevelopment of this property, which mature in November 2035. Interest is reset weekly and determined by the bond remarketing agent based on the market value of the bonds (interest rate of 0.07% at June 30, 2013 and 0.14% at December 31, 2012). The interest rate on the bonds is currently priced off of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association index but could change based on the credit of the bonds. The bonds are secured by a $12.1 million letter of credit issued by the Company from the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. An underwriter’s discount related to the original issuance of the bonds with a remaining balance of $107,000 and $110,000 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, will be amortized as additional interest expense through November 2035.

⁽⁶⁾ Represents (a) the fair value adjustment on assumed debt on acquired properties at the time of acquisition to account for below- or above-market interest rates and (b) an underwriter’s discount for the issuance of redevelopment bonds.

Total interest cost capitalized for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $16,000 and $29,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $16,000 and $139,000, respectively.

The Company’s mortgage debt maturities at June 30, 2013 for each of the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On July 20, 2012, the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, which provided an increase in borrowings available under its credit facility to $250.0 million, decreased the fees pertaining to the unused capacity depending on utilization of the borrowing capacity, decreased the applicable interest rate and extended the maturity date. The Operating Partnership has the ability from time to time to increase the size of the unsecured revolving credit facility by up to an additional $200.0 million for a total borrowing capacity of $450.0 million, subject to receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. The amended maturity date is July 19, 2016 and may be extended for one additional year at the Operating Partnership’s option. The Operating Partnership, among other things, is subject to covenants requiring the maintenance of (1) maximum leverage ratios on unsecured, secured and overall debt and (2) minimum fixed coverage ratios. At June 30, 2013, the Operating Partnership believes that it was in compliance with all the covenants in the credit agreement.

The unsecured revolving credit facility bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 165 basis points to 225 basis points, depending on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio. The Operating Partnership also pays a fee of 0.25% or 0.35% for any unused portion of the unsecured revolving credit facility, depending on the Operating Partnership’s utilization of the borrowing capacity. Borrowings from the unsecured revolving credit facility were $109.0 million at June 30, 2013 at a weighted-average interest rate of 1.85%. The Operating Partnership issued a $12.1 million letter of credit from the unsecured revolving credit facility, which secures an outstanding $12.0 million bond payable for the Northside Mall. This bond is included with the mortgages payable on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2013, there was approximately $128.8 million available for borrowing under the unsecured revolving credit facility.

[1] The purchase price of $52.3 million reflects $13.9 million in cash paid and the issuance of 3,230,769 shares of common stock with a fair value of approximately $39.1 million based on a closing price of $12.11 per share on the date of acquisition. The purchase price noted above is net of master lease agreements between the Company and the seller in the amount of $772,000 (included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets) based on the estimated fair value of funds expected to be received from escrow in connection with the acquisition. Payments under the master lease agreements commence upon the expiration of two existing leases in June 2012 and February 2013 (with terms through May 2013 and January 2015, respectively) unless the related spaces are re-leased with base rents equaling or exceeding the master lease payments. In addition, the seller has agreed to reimburse the Company for any expenditures resulting from tenant improvements or leasing commissions related to the spaces to the extent that funds remain available pertaining to the master lease agreements. See Note 19 for a discussion of changes in the fair value of this asset after the initial acquisition.

[2] This property was originally purchased as a consolidated property. However, in September 2012 the La Costa Town Center property was contributed in exchange for proceeds of approximately $21.2 million to a newly-formed entity in which the Company holds a 20% ownership interest (see Note 14). The Company accounts for its remaining equity ownership in the property in a manner similar to the equity method of accounting, which is reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as an investment in unconsolidated entities.

[3] Weighted-average remaining useful life (months) for recorded intangible assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition.

Equity of the Parent Company

12. Equity of the Parent Company

The Parent Company has issued restricted stock awards to senior executives, directors and employees totaling 1,133,130 shares of common stock (net of forfeitures of 23,000 shares), which are included in the total shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2013.

As of June 30, 2013, the Parent Company had outstanding 2,000,000 shares of 7.00% Series A preferred stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The Parent Company pays cumulative dividends on the Series A preferred stock when, as and if declared by the Parent Company’s board of directors, at a rate of 7.00% per annum, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The annual dividend on each share of Series A preferred stock is $1.75, payable quarterly in arrears on or about the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year. Holders of the Series A preferred stock generally have no voting rights except for limited voting rights if the Parent Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive) and in certain other circumstances. The Series A preferred stock is convertible, at the holders’ option, at any time and from time to time, into common stock of the Parent Company at an initial conversion rate of 1.6667 shares of common stock per share of Series A preferred stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $15.00 per share. The conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments in certain circumstances. On or after April 1, 2014, the Parent Company may, at its option, convert some or all of the Series A preferred stock if the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds 140% of the conversion price for at least 20 of the 30 consecutive trading days ending the day before the notice of exercise of conversion is sent and the Parent Company has either declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, any unpaid dividends that are in arrears on the Series A preferred stock.

As of June 30, 2013, the Parent Company had outstanding 3,680,000 shares of 8.125% Series B preferred stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The Parent Company pays cumulative dividends on the Series B preferred stock, when, as and if declared by the Parent Company’s board of directors, at a rate of 8.125% per annum, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The annual dividend on each share of Series B preferred stock is $2.03125, payable quarterly in arrears on or about the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year. Holders of the Series B preferred stock generally have no voting rights except for limited voting rights if the Parent Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive) and in certain other circumstances. At any time on and after January 31, 2017, the Parent Company may, at its option, redeem the Series B preferred stock, in whole or from time to time in part, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption. In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control, the Parent Company or a successor may, at its option, redeem the Series B preferred stock, in whole or in part and within 120 days after the first date on which such change of control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption.

The Parent Company’s board of directors has authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Parent Company may acquire up to $30.0 million of its common stock in open market and negotiated purchases with no expiration date. As of June 30, 2013, approximately $23.3 million remained available under the stock repurchase program to acquire outstanding shares of the Parent Company’s common stock.

The Parent Company has entered into equity distribution agreements (the “Equity Distribution Agreements”) with four sales agents, under which it can issue and sell shares of the Parent Company’s common stock from time to time through, at its discretion, any of the sales agents. The Equity Distribution Agreements were initially entered into in March 2012 with an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. The Equity Distribution Agreements were subsequently amended and restated in May 2013, permitting additional sales with an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million. The sales of common stock made under the Equity Distribution Agreements are made in “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). During the six months ended June 30, 2013 the Parent Company completed the issuance of 3,065,528 shares pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreements, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $39.3 million at an average stock issuance price of $13.05 per share. The Company used the net proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness under its unsecured revolving credit facility and for other general corporate and working capital purposes. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, the Parent Company issued 146,400 shares pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreements, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.9 million at an average stock issuance price of $13.19 per share.

Consolidated net income is reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the common stockholders and the non-controlling interests. During the period from March 2012 to March 2013, a total of 591,474 OP units related to the Edwards Theatres acquisition were tendered to the Parent Company for redemption, resulting in the issuance of an additional 531,768 shares of common stock and cash payments totaling approximately $1.9 million to former unitholders (see Note 19 for further discussion). In October 2012, the Operating Partnership issued an additional 411,184 OP units in connection with the acquisition of the Company’s West Broad Village property.

A charge/credit is recorded each period in the consolidated statements of income for the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the Company’s net income (loss). Ownership interests held by the Company do not include unvested restricted stock.

2010 Equity Incentive Award Plan

The Company has established the 2010 Equity Incentive Award Plan of Excel Trust, Inc. and Excel Trust, L.P. (the “2010 Plan”), pursuant to which the Parent Company’s board of directors or a committee of its independent directors may make grants of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards to its non-employee directors, employees and consultants (an equivalent amount of common OP units are issued to the Parent Company for each such grant with similar terms and conditions). The maximum number of shares of the Parent Company’s common stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2010 Plan is 1,350,000 (of which 239,870 shares of common stock remain available for issuance as of June 30, 2013).

The following shares of restricted common stock were issued during the six months ended June 30, 2013:

Grant Date	Price at Grant Date		Number		Vesting Period (yrs.)
March 6, 2013(1)	$	13.43		41,500		4

⁽²⁾ Shares issued to members of the Company’s board of directors. These shares vest in equal quarterly installments.

Shares of the Parent Company’s restricted common stock generally may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the administrator of the 2010 Plan, a domestic relations order, unless and until all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed. Such restrictions expire upon vesting. Shares of the Parent Company’s restricted common stock have full voting rights and rights to dividends upon grant. The Company recognized compensation expense during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 of $568,000 and $804,000, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 of $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, related to the restricted common stock grants ultimately expected to vest. ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company has estimated $0 in forfeitures. Stock compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was approximately $2.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested shares of the Parent Company’s restricted common stock. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, this expense was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 1.6 and 2.0 years, respectively.

In connection with the loan, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire this property upon completion of development, at the Company’s election.

Equity of the Operating Partnership

13. Equity of the Operating Partnership

As of June 30, 2013, the Operating Partnership had outstanding 49,251,488 OP units. The Parent Company owned 97.5% of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2013, is the Operating Partnership’s general partner and is responsible for the management of the Operating Partnership’s business. As the general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company effectively controls the ability to issue common stock of the Parent Company upon a limited partner’s notice of redemption. In addition, the Parent Company has generally acquired OP units upon a limited partner’s notice of redemption in exchange for shares of its common stock. The redemption provisions of OP units owned by limited partners that permit the Parent Company to settle in either cash or common stock at the option of the Parent Company are further evaluated in accordance with applicable accounting guidance to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. The Operating Partnership evaluated this guidance, including the requirement to settle in unregistered shares, and determined that these OP units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity.

In addition, as of June 30, 2013, the Operating Partnership had outstanding 2,000,000 7.00% Series A preferred units and 3,680,000 8.125% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (collectively referred to as the “Preferred Units”). The Preferred Units were issued to the Parent Company in exchange for the net proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of the Parent Company and contain the same terms and conditions as the preferred stock instruments (including distribution rates, exchange or redemption provisions, etc.).

In connection with the Parent Company’s Equity Distribution Agreements, during the six months ended June 30, 2013 the Operating Partnership issued 3,065,528 OP units to the Parent Company in exchange for net proceeds of approximately $36.3 million (not including an amount due from the Parent Company of $2.9 million representing proceeds from equity offerings not yet contributed in exchange for common OP units), which were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under its unsecured revolving credit facility and for other general corporate and working capital purposes. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, the Operating Partnership issued an additional 146,400 OP units in exchange for net proceeds of approximately $1.9 million resulting from sale of the Parent Company’s common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreements.

Consolidated net income is reported in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the unitholders and the non-controlling interests in a consolidated joint venture property. During the period from March 2012 to March 2013, a total of 591,474 OP units related to the 2011 Edwards Theatres acquisition were tendered to the Parent Company for redemption, resulting in the issuance of an additional 531,768 shares of the Parent Company’s common stock (and the issuance of an equivalent number of OP units to the Parent Company) and cash payments totaling approximately $1.9 million to former unitholders (see Note 19 for further discussion). In October 2012, the Operating Partnership issued an additional 411,184 OP units in connection with the acquisition of the Company’s West Broad Village property.

The following table shows the vested partnership interests in the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

14. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

On September 7, 2012, the Company contributed the La Costa Town Center property to a limited liability company (the “La Costa LLC”) with GEM Realty Capital, Inc. (“GEM”) in which the Company and GEM hold 20% and 80% ownership interests, respectively. The Company received approximately $21.2 million in exchange for the 80% ownership interest acquired by GEM. The Company’s remaining interest is reflected in the accompanying balance sheets at the Company’s historical cost basis as an investment in a profit-sharing arrangement. The contribution was not considered a sale of real estate due to terms in the La Costa LLC formation documents that could require the Company’s continuing participation in the future under certain circumstances. La Costa LLC does not qualify as a VIE and consolidation is not required as the Company does not control the operations of the property and the majority owner will bear the majority of any losses incurred. The Company will receive 20% of the cash flow distributions and may receive a greater portion of cash distributions in the future based upon the performance of the property and the availability of cash for distribution. In addition, the Company receives fees in its role as the day-to-day property manager and for any development services that it provides. The Company’s interest in the income or losses of the underlying venture is reflected in a manner similar to the equity method of accounting.

On October 19, 2012, the Company acquired a 50% tenant-in-common ownership interest in a property (The Fountains at Bay Hill, or “Bay Hill”) for a purchase price of approximately $19.8 million as a part of a larger acquisition. The remaining 50% undivided interest in the Bay Hill property is held by MDC Fountains, LLC (“MDC”). The Bay Hill property does not qualify as a VIE and consolidation is not required as the Company does not control the operations of the property. The Company will receive 50% of the cash flow distributions and recognize 50% of the results of operations. In addition, the Company receives fees in its role as the day-to-day property manager. The Company’s 50% ownership interest is reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as an investment in unconsolidated entities and the Company’s interest in the income or losses of the property is recorded based on the equity method of accounting.
