NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Cole Real Estate Income Strategy (Daily NAV), Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation that was formed on July 27, 2010, which has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through Cole Real Estate Income Strategy (Daily NAV) Operating Partnership, LP (“Cole OP”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the partnership interest in, Cole OP. The Company is externally managed by Cole Real Estate Income Strategy (Daily NAV) Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Cole Advisors”), an affiliate of the Company’s sponsor, Cole Capital™, which is a trade name used to refer to a group of affiliated entities directly or indirectly controlled by American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (“ARCP”), a self-managed publicly traded Maryland corporation listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market.  On February 7, 2014, ARCP acquired Cole Real Estate Investments, Inc. (“Cole”), which, prior to its acquisition, indirectly owned and/or controlled Cole Advisors, the Company’s dealer manager, Cole Capital Corporation (“CCC”), the Company’s property manager, CREI Advisors, LLC (“CREI Advisors”), and Cole Capital.  As a result of ARCP’s acquisition of Cole, ARCP indirectly owns and/or controls Cole Advisors, CCC, CREI Advisors and Cole Capital.

On December 6, 2011, pursuant to a registration statement filed on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-169535) (the “Initial Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company commenced its initial public offering on a “best efforts” basis of $4.0 billion in shares of common stock. On August 26, 2013, pursuant to a registration statement filed on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-186656) (the “Multi-Class Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act, the Company designated the existing shares of the Company’s common stock that were sold prior to such date to be Wrap Class shares (“W Shares”) of common stock and registered two new classes of the Company’s common stock, Advisor Class shares (“A Shares”) and Institutional Class shares (“I Shares”). Pursuant to the Multi-Class Registration Statement, the Company is offering up to $4.0 billion in shares of common stock of the three classes (the “Offering”), consisting of $3.5 billion in shares in the Company’s primary offering (the “Primary Offering”) and $500.0 million in shares pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”). The Company is offering to sell any combination of W Shares, A Shares and I Shares with a dollar value up to the maximum offering amount.

The Company’s per share purchase price for each class of common stock varies from day-to-day and, on each business day, is equal to, for each class of common stock, the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”) for such class, divided by the number of shares of that class outstanding as of the close of business on such day, plus, for A Shares sold in the Primary Offering, applicable selling commissions. The Company’s NAV per share is calculated daily as of the close of business by an independent fund accountant using a process that reflects (1) estimated values of each of the Company’s commercial real estate assets, related liabilities and notes receivable secured by real estate provided periodically by the Company’s independent valuation expert in individual appraisal reports, (2) daily updates in the price of liquid assets for which third party market quotes are available, (3) accruals of daily distributions, and (4) estimates of daily accruals, on a net basis, of operating revenues, expenses, debt service costs and fees. As of March 31, 2014, the NAV per share for W Shares, A Shares and I Shares was $16.99, $16.97 and $17.01, respectively. The Company’s NAV is not audited or reviewed by its independent registered public accounting firm.

The Company intends to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the Offering to acquire and operate a diversified portfolio primarily consisting of (1) necessity retail, office and industrial properties that are leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term net leases, and are strategically located throughout the United States and U.S. protectorates, (2) notes receivable secured by commercial real estate, including the origination of loans, and (3) cash, cash equivalents, other short-term investments and traded real estate-related securities. As of March 31, 2014, the Company owned 40 commercial properties located in 21 states, containing 775,000 rentable square feet of commercial space, including square feet of buildings which are on land subject to ground leases. As of March 31, 2014, these properties were 99.8% leased.

The Company is structured as a perpetual-life, non-exchange traded REIT. This means that, subject to regulatory approval of filing for additional offerings, the Company will be selling shares of common stock on a continuous basis and for an indefinite period of time to the extent permissible under applicable law. The Company will endeavor to take all reasonable actions to avoid interruptions in the continuous offering of shares of common stock. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Offering at any time.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for the interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, and related notes thereto set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements should also be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment in and Valuation of Real Estate and Related Assets

Real estate and related assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Amounts capitalized to real estate and related assets consist of the cost of acquisition, excluding acquisition related expenses, construction and any tenant improvements, major improvements and betterments that extend the useful life of the real estate and related assets and leasing costs. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its depreciable assets. The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine the appropriate useful life of the assets. Real estate and related assets, other than land, are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s real estate and related assets by class are generally as follows:

Buildings	40 years
Tenant improvements	Lesser of useful life or lease term
Intangible lease assets	Lease term

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate and related assets may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators that the Company considers include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a property’s major tenant, such as a history of late payments, rental concessions and other factors, a significant decrease in a property’s revenues due to lease terminations, vacancies, co-tenancy clauses, reduced lease rates or other circumstances. When indicators of potential impairment are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying amount of the assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, the Company will adjust the real estate and related assets to their respective fair values and recognize an impairment loss. Generally, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. No impairment indicators were identified and no impairment losses were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

9

COLE REAL ESTATE INCOME STRATEGY (DAILY NAV), INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

March 31, 2014

When developing estimates of expected future cash flows, the Company makes certain assumptions regarding future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, terminal capitalization and discount rates, the expected number of months it takes to re-lease the property, required tenant improvements and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of alternative assumptions in estimating expected future cash flows could result in a different determination of the property’s expected future cash flows and a different conclusion regarding the existence of an impairment, the extent of such loss, if any, as well as the fair value of the real estate and related assets.

When a real estate asset is identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company will cease depreciation and amortization of the assets related to the property and estimate the fair value, net of selling costs. If, in management’s opinion, the fair value, net of selling costs, of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to the carrying amount would be recorded to reflect the estimated fair value of the property, net of selling costs. There were no assets identified as held for sale as of March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate and Related Assets

Upon the acquisition of real properties, the Company allocates the purchase price to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above market and below market leases and the value of in-place leases, based in each case on their respective fair values. Acquisition related expenses are expensed as incurred. The Company utilizes independent appraisals to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and building). The Company obtains an independent appraisal for each real property acquisition. The information in the appraisal, along with any additional information available to the Company’s management, is used in estimating the amount of the purchase price that is allocated to land. Other information in the appraisal, such as building value and market rents, may be used by the Company’s management in estimating the allocation of purchase price to the building and to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The appraisal firm has no involvement in management’s allocation decisions other than providing this market information.

The fair values of above market and below market lease intangibles are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (2) an estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, which is generally obtained from independent appraisals, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease including any bargain renewal periods, with respect to a below market lease. The above market and below market lease intangibles are capitalized as intangible lease assets or liabilities, respectively. Above market leases are amortized as a reduction to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Below market leases are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases, including any bargain renewal periods. In considering whether or not the Company expects a tenant to execute a bargain renewal option, the Company evaluates economic factors and certain qualitative factors at the time of acquisition, such as the financial strength of the tenant, remaining lease term, the tenant mix of the leased property, the Company’s relationship with the tenant and the availability of competing tenant space. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of above market or below market lease intangibles relating to that lease would be recorded as an adjustment to rental income.

The fair values of in-place leases include estimates of direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant and opportunity costs associated with lost rental and other property income which are avoided by acquiring a property with an in-place lease. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions and other direct costs, and are estimated in part by utilizing information obtained from independent appraisals and management’s consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. The intangible values of opportunity costs, which are calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease are capitalized as intangible lease assets and are amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of in-place lease assets relating to that lease would be expensed.

The Company will estimate the fair value of assumed mortgage notes payable based upon indications of current market pricing for similar types of debt financing with similar maturities. Assumed mortgage notes payable will initially be recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and any difference between such estimated fair value and the mortgage note’s outstanding principal balance will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective mortgage note payable.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

March 31, 2014

The determination of the fair values of the real estate and related assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, capitalization and discount rates, interest rates and other variables. The use of alternative estimates may result in a different allocation of the Company’s purchase price, which could impact the Company’s results of operations.

Investment in Marketable Securities

Investment in marketable securities consists primarily of the Company’s investment in corporate and government debt securities. The Company determines the appropriate classification for debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2014, the Company classified its investments as available-for-sale as the Company is not actively trading the securities; however, the Company may sell them prior to their maturity. These investments are carried at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The Company monitors its available-for-sale securities for impairments. A loss is recognized when the Company determines that a decline in the estimated fair value of a security below its amortized cost is other-than-temporary. The Company considers many factors in determining whether the impairment of a security is deemed to be other-than-temporary, including, but not limited to, the length of time the security has had a decline in estimated fair value below its amortized cost, the amount of the unrealized loss, the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value, recent events specific to the issuer or industry, external credit ratings and recent changes in such ratings. The analysis of determining whether the impairment of a security is deemed to be other-than-temporary requires significant judgments and assumptions. The use of alternative judgments and assumptions could result in a different conclusion.

The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the effective interest method and is recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited statements of operations in interest income on marketable securities along with interest and dividend income. Upon the sale of a security, the realized net gain or loss is computed on the specific identification method.

Restricted Cash and Escrows

Included in restricted cash were escrowed investor proceeds for which shares of common stock had not been issued as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Concentration of Credit Risk

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had cash on deposit at two financial institutions, in one of which the Company had deposits in excess of federally insured levels totaling $568,000; however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company limits significant cash deposits to accounts held by financial institutions with high credit standing; therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash deposits.

As of March 31, 2014, no single tenant accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s 2014 gross annualized rental revenues. Tenants in the home and garden, grocery, drugstore and discount store industries accounted for 15%, 14%, 14% and 11%, respectively, of the Company’s 2014 gross annualized rental revenues. Additionally, the Company has certain geographic concentrations in its property holdings. In particular, as of March 31, 2014, five of the Company’s properties were located in Michigan and four of the Company’s properties were located in Texas, accounting for 16% and 14%, respectively, of the Company’s 2014 gross annualized rental revenues.

Offering and Related Costs

Cole Advisors funds all of the organization and offering costs associated with the sale of the Company’s common stock (excluding selling commissions, the distribution fee and the dealer manager fee) and is reimbursed for such costs up to 0.75% of gross proceeds from the Offering, excluding selling commissions charged on A Shares sold in the Primary Offering. As of March 31, 2014, Cole Advisors or its affiliates had paid organization and offering costs in excess of the 0.75% in connection with the Offering. These excess costs were not included in the financial statements of the Company because such costs were not a liability of the Company as they exceeded 0.75% of gross proceeds from the Offering. As the Company raises additional proceeds from the Offering, these excess costs may become payable to Cole Advisors.

Redeemable Common Stock

The Company has adopted a share redemption program that permits its stockholders to redeem their shares, subject to certain limitations. The Company records amounts that are redeemable under the share redemption program as redeemable common stock outside of permanent equity on its condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets. Redeemable common stock is recorded at the greater of the carrying amount or redemption value each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are recorded as an adjustment to capital in excess of par value.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the quarterly redemption capacity was equal to 10% of the Company’s NAV and this amount was recorded as redeemable common stock on the condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheet for a total of $8.2 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update, 2014-08 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”), which amends the reporting requirements for discontinued operations by updating the definition of a discontinued operation to be a component of an entity that represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results, resulting in fewer disposals that qualify for discontinued operations reporting, yet, the pronouncement also requires expanded disclosures for discontinued operations. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements because the Company did not have any discontinued operations.

NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 – Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs, which are only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect the Company’s assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.

The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:

Cash and cash equivalents – The Company considers the carrying amounts of these financial assets to approximate fair value because of the short period of time between their origination and their expected realization.

Line of credit – The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Company as of the measurement date. The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $42.9 million and $43.9 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which approximated the carrying value on such dates. The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs.

Marketable securities – The Company’s marketable securities are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 1 inputs. The estimated fair value of the Company’s marketable securities are based on quoted market prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market.

Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize, or be liable for, on disposition of the financial assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2014, there have been no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between fair value hierarchy levels.

2014 Property Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company acquired a 100% interest in eight commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $14.0 million (the “2014 Acquisitions”). The Company purchased the 2014 Acquisitions with net proceeds from the Offering combined with proceeds from borrowings, as discussed in Note 6 to these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company sold 12 marketable securities for aggregate proceeds of $91,000, which approximated their carrying value. In addition, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $2,000 on its investments, which is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited statement of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheet as of March 31, 2014. The cumulative unrealized loss is deemed to be a temporary impairment based upon (i) the Company having no intent to sell each security, (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell each security before recovery and (iii) the Company’s expectation to recover the entire amortized cost basis of each security. The Company determined that the cumulative unrealized loss resulted from volatility in interest rates and other qualitative factors relating to macro-economic conditions in the bond market rather than being credit related, and such factors do not present adverse changes in expected cash flows or redemptions. Furthermore, the Company considered the composition of its available-for-sale securities portfolio, which included U.S. treasury bonds, U.S. agency bonds and corporate bonds issued by corporations with strong credit standings and history of operations.

The following table shows the fair value and gross unrealized losses of the Company’s available-for-sale securities as of March 31, 2014 and the length of time the available-for-sale securities have been in the unrealized loss position (in thousands):

Actual maturities of marketable securities can differ from contractual maturities because borrowers on certain debt securities may have the right to prepay their respective debt obligations at any time.

NOTE 6 — LINE OF CREDIT

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $42.9 million of debt outstanding under its secured revolving line of credit, as amended (the “Line of Credit”). The Line of Credit provides up to $75.0 million of borrowings pursuant to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”) and other lending institutions that may become parties to the Credit Agreement. The aggregate balance of gross real estate assets, net of gross intangible lease liabilities, securing the total debt outstanding was $88.9 million as of March 31, 2014.

As of December 31, 2013, the Line of Credit allowed Cole OP to borrow up to $50.0 million in revolving loans, with the maximum amount outstanding not to exceed the borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base”), calculated as 65% of the aggregate value allocated to each qualified property comprising eligible collateral (collectively, the “Qualified Properties”). On January 17, 2014, Cole OP entered into a third modification agreement (the “Third Modification Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase, which exercised $25.0 million of the $200.0 million accordion feature in the Credit Agreement, and increased the allowable borrowings from up to $50.0 million to up to $75.0 million in revolving loans, with the maximum amount outstanding not to exceed the Borrowing Base, calculated as 65% of the aggregate value allocated to the Qualified Properties. The Third Modification Agreement contained customary representations, warranties and borrowing conditions. Cole OP paid certain fees under the Third Modification Agreement, including an up-front fee.

As of March 31, 2014, the Borrowing Base under the Line of Credit was approximately $57.0 million based on the underlying collateral pool of Qualified Properties. Up to 15.0% of the total amount available may be used for issuing letters of credit and up to 10.0% of the Line of Credit, not to exceed $15.0 million, may be used for short term (ten day) advances. Subject to meeting certain conditions described in the Credit Agreement and the payment of certain fees, the amount of the Line of Credit may be increased up to a maximum of $250.0 million. The Line of Credit matures on December 8, 2014; however, the Company may elect to extend the maturity date for a period of 12 months upon the satisfaction of certain conditions in the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2014, amounts outstanding on the Line of Credit accrued interest at an annual rate of 2.81%.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, borrowing conditions and affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including minimum net worth, debt service coverage and leverage ratio requirements and dividend payout and REIT status requirements. The Credit Agreement also includes usual and customary events of default and remedies for facilities of this nature. Based on the Company’s analysis and review of its results of operations and financial condition, as of March 31, 2014, the Company believes it was in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Agreement.

NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation or claims. The Company is not aware of any pending legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably possible to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Environmental Matters

In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company potentially may be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company owns certain properties that are subject to environmental remediation. In each case, the seller of the property, the tenant of the property and/or another third party has been identified as the responsible party for environmental remediation costs related to the respective property. Additionally, in connection with the purchase of certain of the properties, the respective sellers and/or tenants have indemnified the Company against future remediation costs. In addition, the Company carries environmental liability insurance on its properties that provides limited coverage for remediation liability and pollution liability for third-party bodily injury and property damage claims. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the environmental matters identified at such properties will have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, nor is it aware of any environmental matters at other properties which it believes are reasonably possible to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

NOTE 8 — RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, fees and expenses payable to Cole Advisors and certain of its affiliates in connection with the Offering, and the acquisition, management and performance of the Company’s assets.

Offering

In connection with the Offering, CCC, the Company’s dealer manager, will receive selling commissions, an asset-based dealer manager fee and/or an asset-based distribution fee, as summarized in the table below for each class of common stock:

	Selling Commission (1)	Dealer Manager Fee (2)		Distribution Fee (2)
W Shares	—	0.55	%	—
A Shares	up to 3.75%	0.55	%	0.50	%
I Shares	—	0.25	%	—

(1) The selling commission is based on the offering price for A Shares. The selling commission expressed as a percentage of NAV per A Share, rather than the offering price, is up to 3.90%, subject to rounding and the effect of volume discounts the Company is offering on certain purchases of $150,001 or more of A Shares. Selling commissions are deducted directly from the offering price for A Shares and paid to CCC. CCC reallows 100% of the selling commissions on A Shares to participating broker-dealers.

(2) The dealer manager and distribution fees accrue daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of the percentage of NAV per W Share, A Share or I Share, as applicable, for such day on a continuous basis. CCC, in its sole discretion, may reallow a portion of the dealer manager fee and distribution fee to participating broker-dealers.

All organization and offering expenses associated with the sale of the Company’s common stock (excluding selling commissions, the distribution fee and the dealer manager fee) are paid for by Cole Advisors or its affiliates and can be reimbursed by the Company up to 0.75% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds, excluding selling commissions charged on A Shares sold in the Primary Offering. As of March 31, 2014, Cole Advisors or its affiliates had paid organization and offering costs in excess of the 0.75% in connection with the Offering. These excess costs were not included in the financial statements of the Company because such costs were not a liability of the Company as they exceeded 0.75% of gross proceeds from the Offering. As the Company raises additional proceeds from the Offering, these excess costs may become payable to Cole Advisors.

The Company recorded fees and expense reimbursements as shown in the table below for services provided by Cole Advisors and its affiliates related to the services described above during the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
Offering:

Organization and offering expense reimbursement	$	88	$	104

No selling commissions or distribution fees were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as no A Shares were sold prior to October 2013.

Acquisitions, Operations and Performance

The Company pays Cole Advisors an asset-based advisory fee that is payable in arrears on a monthly basis and accrues daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 0.90% of the Company’s NAV for each class of common stock, for each day.

The Company will reimburse Cole Advisors for the operating expenses it paid or incurred in connection with the services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse for any amount by which its operating expenses (including the advisory fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of (1) 2% of average invested assets, or (2) 25% of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period. Cole Advisors waived its right to receive operating expense reimbursements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013; accordingly, the Company did not reimburse Cole Advisors for any such expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

In addition, the Company will reimburse Cole Advisors for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Company’s investments. While most of the acquisition expenses are expected to be paid to third parties, a portion of the out-of-pocket acquisition expenses may be reimbursed to Cole Advisors or its affiliates. Acquisition expenses, together with any acquisition fees paid to third parties for a particular real estate-related asset, will in no event exceed 6% of the gross purchase price. Cole Advisors waived its right to receive acquisition expense reimbursements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013; accordingly, the Company did not reimburse Cole Advisors for any such expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, Cole Advisors implemented an expense cap, which has been and will be continued for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and ending June 30, 2014, whereby Cole Advisors will fund all general and administrative expenses of the Company that are in excess of an amount calculated by multiplying the average NAV, for the respective three month period by an annualized rate of 1.25% (the “Excess G&A”). General and administrative expenses, as presented in these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, include, but are not limited to, legal fees, audit fees, board of directors costs, professional fees, escrow and trustee fees, insurance, state franchise and income taxes and fees for unused amounts on the Line of Credit. At Cole Advisors’ discretion, it may fund the Excess G&A through reimbursement to the Company or payment to third parties on behalf of the Company, but in no event will the Company be liable to Cole Advisors in future periods for such amounts paid or reimbursed. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred $94,000 of Excess G&A which will be reimbursed by Cole Advisors.

As compensation for services provided pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Company will also pay Cole Advisors a performance-based fee calculated based on the Company’s annual total return to stockholders for each class of common stock (defined below), payable annually in arrears. The performance fee will be calculated such that for any calendar year in which the total return per share for a particular class exceeds 6% (the “6% Return”), Cole Advisors will receive 25% of the excess total return on such class above the 6% Return allocable to that class, but in no event will the Company pay Cole Advisors more than 10% of the aggregate total return, for that class, for such year. However, in the event the NAV per share of the Company’s W Shares, A Shares and I Shares decreases below the base NAV for the respective share class ($15.00, $16.72 and $16.82 for the W Shares, A Shares and I Shares, respectively) (the “Base NAV”), the performance-based fee for a respective class will not be calculated on any increase in NAV up to the Base NAV for the respective share class. In addition, the performance fee will not be paid with respect to any calendar year in which the NAV per share as of the last business day of the calendar year (the “Ending NAV”) for the respective share class is less than the Base NAV of that class. The Base NAV of any share class is subject to downward adjustment in the event that the Company’s board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors, determines that such an adjustment is necessary to provide an appropriate incentive to Cole Advisors to perform in a manner that seeks to maximize stockholder value and is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or similar change in the Company’s capital structure, the Base NAV for the respective share class shall be ratably adjusted to reflect the effect of any such event.

The total return to stockholders is defined, for each class of the Company’s common stock, as the change in NAV per share plus distributions per share for such class. The NAV per share for a class calculated on the last trading day of a calendar year shall be the amount against which changes in NAV per share for such class are measured during the subsequent calendar year. Therefore, for each class of the Company’s common stock, payment of the performance-based component of the advisory fee (1) is contingent upon the Company’s actual annual total return exceeding the 6% Return and the Ending NAV per share for the respective share class being greater than the Base NAV of that class, (2) will vary in amount based on the Company’s actual performance, (3) cannot cause the Company’s total return as a percentage of stockholders’ invested capital for the year to be reduced below 6%, and (4) is payable to Cole Advisors if the Company’s total return exceeds the 6% Return in a particular calendar year, even if the total return to stockholders (or any particular stockholder) on a cumulative basis over any longer or shorter period has been less than 6% per annum. Cole Advisors will not be obligated to return any portion of advisory fees paid based on the Company’s subsequent performance.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Cole Real Estate Income Strategy (Daily NAV), Inc., other than historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable by law. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, and prospects and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” or other similar words.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

• changes in economic conditions generally and the real estate and securities markets specifically;

• the effect of financial leverage, including changes in interest rates, availability of credit, loss of flexibility due to negative and affirmative covenants, refinancing risk at maturity and generally the increased risk of loss if our investments fail to perform as expected;

• our ability to raise a substantial amount of capital in the near term;

• our ability to access sources of liquidity when we have the need to fund redemptions of common stock in excess of the proceeds from the sales of shares of our common stock in our continuous offering and the consequential risk that we may not have the resources to satisfy redemption requests;

• our ability to effectively deploy the proceeds raised in our public offering;

• legislative or regulatory changes (including changes to the laws governing the taxation of REITs); and

• changes to GAAP.

Forward-looking statements that were true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view only as of the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC. We make no representation or warranty (express or implied) about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results.

Overview

We were formed on July 27, 2010, to acquire and operate a diversified portfolio of (1) necessity retail, office and industrial properties that are leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term net leases, and are strategically located throughout the United States and U.S. protectorates, (2) notes receivable secured by commercial real estate, including the origination of loans, and (3) cash, cash equivalents, other short-term investments and traded real estate securities. We commenced our principal operations on December 7, 2011, when we issued the initial $10.0 million in shares of our common stock in the Offering and acquired our first real estate property. We have no paid employees and are externally advised and managed by Cole Advisors, our advisor. We elected to be taxed, and currently qualify, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

On February 7, 2014, ARCP acquired Cole, which, prior to its acquisition, indirectly owned and/or controlled our external advisor, Cole Advisors, our dealer manager, CCC, our property manager, CREI Advisors, and our sponsor, Cole Capital.  As a result of ARCP’s acquisition of Cole, ARCP indirectly owns and/or controls Cole Advisors, CCC, CREI Advisors and Cole Capital.

As of March 31, 2014, we owned 40 properties located in 21 states, comprising 775,000 rentable square feet of commercial space including square feet of buildings which are on land subject to ground leases. Our operating results and cash flows are primarily influenced by rental income from our commercial properties, interest expense on our property indebtedness and acquisition and operating expenses. Rental and other property income accounted for 92% and 94%, respectively, of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. As 99.8% of our rentable square feet was under lease as of March 31, 2014, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 12.5 years, we believe our exposure to changes in commercial rental rates on our portfolio is substantially mitigated, except for vacancies caused by tenant bankruptcies or other factors. Cole Advisors regularly monitors the creditworthiness of our tenants by reviewing the tenant’s financial results, credit rating agency reports, when available, on the tenant or guarantor, the operating history of the property with such tenant, the tenant’s market share and track record within its industry segment, the general health and outlook of the tenant’s industry segment, and other information for changes and possible trends. If our advisor identifies significant changes or trends that may adversely affect the creditworthiness of a tenant, it will gather a more in-depth knowledge of the tenant’s financial condition and, if necessary, attempt to mitigate the tenant credit risk by evaluating the possible sale of the property, or identifying a possible replacement tenant should the current tenant fail to perform on the lease.

As of March 31, 2014, the debt leverage ratio of our consolidated real estate assets, which is the ratio of debt to total gross real estate and related assets, net of gross intangible lease liabilities, was 36%, and all of our debt was subject to variable interest rates. Should we acquire additional commercial real estate, we will be subject to changes in real estate prices and changes in interest rates on any current variable rate debt, refinancings or new indebtedness used to acquire the properties. We may manage our risk of changes in real estate prices on future property acquisitions, when applicable, by entering into purchase agreements and loan commitments simultaneously, or through loan assumption, so that our operating yield is determinable at the time we enter into a purchase agreement, by contracting with developers for future delivery of properties or by entering into sale-leaseback transactions. We manage our interest rate risk by monitoring the interest rate environment in connection with our future property acquisitions, when applicable, or upcoming debt maturities to determine the appropriate financing or refinancing terms, which may include fixed rate loans, variable rate loans or interest rate hedges. If we are unable to acquire suitable properties or obtain suitable financing terms for future acquisitions or refinancing, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

Recent Market Conditions

Beginning in late 2007, domestic and international financial markets experienced significant disruptions that severely impacted the availability of credit and contributed to rising costs associated with obtaining credit. Financial conditions affecting commercial real estate have improved and continue to improve, as low treasury rates and increased lending from banks, insurance companies and commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”) conduits have increased lending activity. Nevertheless, the debt market remains sensitive to the macro environment, such as Federal Reserve policy, market sentiment or regulatory factors affecting the banking and CMBS industries. While we expect that financial conditions will remain favorable, if they were to deteriorate we may experience more stringent lending criteria, which may affect our ability to finance certain property acquisitions or refinance any debt at maturity. Additionally, for properties for which we are able to obtain financing, the interest rates and other terms on such loans may be unacceptable. We expect to manage the current mortgage lending environment by considering multiple lending sources, including securitized debt, fixed rate loans, borrowings on the Line of Credit, short-term variable rate loans, assumed mortgage loans in connection with property acquisitions, interest rate lock or swap agreements, or any combination of the foregoing.

21

Commercial real estate fundamentals continue to strengthen, as a moderate pace of job creation has supported gains in office absorption, retail sales and warehouse distribution. Although construction activity has increased, it remains near historic lows; as a result, incremental demand growth has helped to reduce vacancy rates and support modest rental growth. Improving fundamentals have resulted in gains in property values; however, in many markets property values, occupancy and rental rates continue to be below those previously experienced before the economic downturn. As of March 31, 2014, 99.8% of our rentable square feet was under lease, and we expect that occupancy will remain high as the real estate recovery continues. However, if recent improvements in the economy reverse course, we may experience vacancies or be required to reduce rental rates on occupied space. If we do experience vacancies, Cole Advisors will actively seek to lease our vacant space; nevertheless, such space may be leased at lower rental rates and for shorter lease terms than our current leases provide.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations are influenced by the timing of acquisitions and the operating performance of our real estate investments. The following table shows the property statistics of our consolidated real estate assets as of March 31, 2014 and 2013:

	As of March 31,
	2014		2013
Number of properties	40		13
Approximate rentable square feet (in thousands) (1)	775		249
Percentage of rentable square feet leased	99.8	%	100	%

(1) Includes square feet of the buildings on land that are subject to ground leases.

The following table summarizes our consolidated real estate investment activity during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
Properties acquired	8		3
Approximate purchase price of acquired properties (in millions)	$	14.0	$	4.1
Approximate rentable square feet (in thousands)	55		24

As shown in the tables above, we owned 40 commercial properties as of March 31, 2014, compared to 13 commercial properties as of March 31, 2013. Accordingly, our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, reflect significant increases in most categories.

Three Months EndedMarch 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months EndedMarch 31, 2013

Revenue. Revenue increased$1.6 million to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $780,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Of this amount, rental and other property income increased$1.5 million to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $731,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 27 properties subsequent to March 31, 2013. We also pay certain operating expenses subject to reimbursement by the tenant. Tenant reimbursement income increased$141,000 to $189,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $48,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily due to the acquisition activity subsequent to March 31, 2013.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased$20,000 to $236,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $256,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to the expense cap on general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as discussed in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There was no such cap during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The primary general and administrative expense items are professional fees, board of directors costs, state franchise and income taxes, escrow and trustee fees, fees for unused amounts on the Line of Credit, and other licenses and fees. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we incurred $94,000 of Excess G&A which will be reimbursed by our advisor.

22

Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses increased$172,000 to $222,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition activity subsequent to March 31, 2013. The primary property operating expense items are property taxes, repairs and maintenance and property insurance.

Advisory Expenses. Advisory expenses increased$127,000 to $174,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $47,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, related to advisory fees earned by our advisor pursuant to our advisory agreement due to an increase in our NAV primarily as a result of the issuance of common stock subsequent to March 31, 2013.

Acquisition Related Expenses. Acquisition related expenses increased$130,000 to $198,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $68,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to acquisition related expenses incurred in connection with the purchase of eight commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $14.0 million during three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to acquisition related expenses incurred in connection with the purchase of three commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $4.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased$583,000 to $784,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $201,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily related to depreciation and amortization on 27 properties acquired subsequent to March 31, 2013.

Interest and Other Expense, Net. Interest and other expense, net increased$277,000 to $457,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $180,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily due to an increase of $25.1 million in our average outstanding debt balance for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase was also due to an increase in amortization related to $541,000 of deferred financing costs incurred subsequent to March 31, 2013.

Distributions

Our board of directors authorized a daily distribution, based on 365 days in the calendar year, of $0.002563727 per share for stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing on January 1, 2014 and ending on March 31, 2014. In addition, our board of directors authorized a daily distribution of $0.002678083 per share for stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing on April 1, 2014 and ending on June 30, 2014. The daily distribution amount for each class of outstanding common stock will be adjusted based on the relative NAV of the various classes each day so that, from day to day, distributions constitute a uniform percentage of the NAV per share of all classes. As a result, from day to day, the per share daily distribution for each outstanding class of common stock may be higher or lower than the daily distribution amount authorized by our board of directors based on the relative NAV of each class of common stock on that day.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we paid distributions of $962,000 and $233,000, respectively, including $377,000 and $29,000, respectively, through the issuance of shares pursuant to the DRIP. Our distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were funded by cash flows from operations of $615,000, or 64%, and proceeds from the Offering, including excess proceeds from the Offering from prior periods, of $347,000, or 36%. Our distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were funded by cash flows from operations in excess of distributions from the prior year of $97,000, or 42%, and offering proceeds of $136,000, or 58%. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 reflect a reduction of $198,000 and $68,000, respectively, for real estate acquisition related expenses. We treat our real estate acquisition expenses as funded by proceeds from the Offering of our shares. Therefore, for consistency, proceeds from the issuance of common stock have been reported as a source of distributions to the extent that acquisition expenses have reduced net cash flows from operating activities in the current and prior periods.

Share Redemptions

We have adopted a share redemption plan to provide limited liquidity whereby, on a daily basis, stockholders may request that we redeem all or any portion of their shares. Our share redemption plan provides that, on each business day, stockholders may request that we redeem all or any portion of their shares, subject to a minimum redemption amount and certain short-term trading fees. The redemption price per share for each class on any business day will be our NAV per share for such class for that day, calculated by the independent fund accountant in accordance with our valuation policies.

23

Our share redemption plan includes certain redemption limits, including a quarterly limit and, in some cases, a stockholder by stockholder limit. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we received redemption requests for, and redeemed approximately 30,000 W Shares of our common stock for $502,000.

We intend to fund share redemptions with available cash, proceeds from our liquid investments and proceeds from sales of additional shares. We may, after taking the interests of our Company as a whole and the interests of our remaining stockholders into consideration, use proceeds from any available sources at our disposal to satisfy redemption requests, including, but not limited to, proceeds from sales of additional shares, excess cash flow from operations, sales of our liquid investments, incurrence of indebtedness and, if necessary, proceeds from the disposition of real estate properties or real estate-related assets. In an effort to have adequate cash available to support our share redemption plan, Cole Advisors may determine to reserve borrowing capacity under the Line of Credit. Cole Advisors could then elect to borrow against the Line of Credit in part to redeem shares presented for redemption during periods when we do not have sufficient proceeds from the sale of shares in the Offering to fund all redemption requests.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our principal demands for funds will be for real estate and real estate related investments, for the payment of acquisition related expenses, operating expenses, distributions and redemptions to stockholders and principal and interest on any current and any future indebtedness. Generally, cash needs for items other than acquisitions and acquisition related expenses will be generated from operations of our current and future investments. We expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions from the net proceeds of the Offering and from debt financings. The sources of our operating cash flows will primarily be driven by the rental income received from current and future leased properties. We expect to continue to raise capital through the Offering and to utilize such funds and future proceeds from secured or unsecured financing to complete future property acquisitions.

Our investment guidelines provide that we will target the following aggregate allocation to relatively liquid investments, such as U.S. government securities, agency securities, corporate debt, publicly traded debt and equity real estate-related securities, cash, cash equivalents and other short-term investments and, in Cole Advisors discretion, a line of credit (collectively, the “Liquid Assets”): (1) 10% of our NAV up to $1.0 billion and (2) 5% of our NAV in excess of $1.0 billion. To the extent that Cole Advisors elects to maintain borrowing capacity under a line of credit, the amount available under the line of credit will be included in calculating the Liquid Assets under these guidelines. These are guidelines, and our stockholders should not expect that we will, at all times, hold liquid assets at or above the target levels or that all liquid assets will be available to satisfy redemption requests as we receive them. We anticipate that both our overall allocation to liquid assets as a percentage of our NAV and our allocation to different types of liquid assets will vary. In making these determinations our advisor will consider our receipt of proceeds from sales of additional shares, our cash flow from operations, available borrowing capacity under a line of credit, if any, or from additional mortgages on our real estate, our receipt of proceeds from sales of assets, and the anticipated use of cash to fund redemptions, as well as the availability and pricing of different investments. The amount of the Liquid Assets is determined by our advisor, in its sole discretion, but is subject to review by our independent directors on a quarterly basis.

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

On a short-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for operating expenses, distributions and redemptions to stockholders and interest on the Line of Credit. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through available cash, cash provided by property operations, proceeds from the Offering and borrowings from the Line of Credit. As of March 31, 2014, the Borrowing Base under the Line of Credit was approximately $57.0 million and we had $14.1 million available for borrowing. Subsequent to March 31, 2014, we added four properties to the Borrowing Base, increasing the Borrowing Base to approximately $62.2 million. As of May 9, 2014, we had $45.4 million outstanding under the Line of Credit and $16.8 million available for borrowing.

The Line of Credit has a scheduled maturity of December 8, 2014; however, we may elect to extend the maturity date for a period of 12 months upon the satisfaction of certain conditions in the Credit Agreement. As a result, we believe that the resources stated above will be sufficient to satisfy our short-term operating requirements, and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from sources other than those described above within the next 12 months.

24

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

On a long-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for property and other asset acquisitions and the payment of tenant improvements, operating expenses, including debt service payments on any outstanding indebtedness, and distributions and redemptions to our stockholders. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through proceeds from the Offering, secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders, any available capacity on the Line of Credit by the addition of properties to the Borrowing Base, proceeds from the sale of marketable securities and net cash flows provided by operations.

As of March 31, 2014, we had received and accepted subscriptions for approximately 4.9 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $79.5 million. As of March 31, 2014, we had redeemed approximately 68,000 W Shares of common stock for $1.1 million. No redemption requests received during the three months ended March 31, 2014 went unfulfilled.

As of March 31, 2014, we had $42.9 million of debt outstanding on the Line of Credit and $14.1 million of available borrowings based on the then-current Borrowing Base. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for certain terms of the Line of Credit. Our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2014 were as follows (in thousands):

	Payments due by period (1)
	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More Than 5 Years
Principal payments - line of credit (2)	$	42,900	$	42,900	$	—	$	—	$	—
Interest payments - line of credit (3)	844		844		—		—		—
Total	$	43,744	$	43,744	$	—	$	—	$	—

(1) The table does not include amounts due to our advisor or its affiliates pursuant to our advisory agreement because such amounts are not fixed and determinable.

(2) Does not include the impact of any extension. We may elect to extend the maturity of the Line of Credit for a period of 12 months upon the satisfaction of certain conditions in the Credit Agreement.

(3) Payment obligations for the amount outstanding under the Line of Credit were calculated based on an interest rate of 2.81% in effect as of March 31, 2014.

Our charter prohibits us from incurring debt that would cause our borrowings to exceed 75% of our gross assets, valued at the aggregate cost (before depreciation and other non-cash reserves), unless approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report. Our board of directors has adopted a policy to further limit our borrowings to 60% of the greater of cost (before depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our gross assets, unless the excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report. During the initial period of the Offering, our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, approved borrowing exceeding this limit because we are in the process of raising sufficient equity capital to acquire our portfolio. After we have acquired a substantial portfolio, our advisor will target a leverage of 50% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our gross assets. As of March 31, 2014, our ratio of debt to total gross real estate assets, net of gross intangible lease liabilities, was 36%.

Cash Flow Analysis

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $615,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $134,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net income before non-cash adjustments for depreciation, amortization of intangibles, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of discounts on marketable securities of $997,000, which was partially offset by a decrease in our working capital balances of $248,000. See “— Results of Operations” for a more complete discussion of the factors impacting our operating performance.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased $10.0 million to $14.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of eight commercial properties during three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the acquisition of three commercial properties during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

25

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities increased$375,000 to $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net borrowings on the Line of Credit of $3.7 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $2.6 million, an increase in redemptions of common stock of $388,000 and an increase in distributions paid to investors of $381,000.

Election as a REIT

From the date of our formation and until the day following the date on which we issued shares to stockholders other than our initial stockholder, we were a qualified subchapter S subsidiary of our initial stockholder, and therefore were disregarded as an entity separate from our initial stockholder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have elected to be taxed, and currently qualify, as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain requirements relating to our organization, sources of income, nature of assets, distributions of income to our stockholders and recordkeeping. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders so long as we distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding certain non-cash items and net capital gains).

If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year and applicable relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We will not be able to deduct distributions paid to our stockholders in any year in which we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also will be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which, if applicable, have been provided for in our accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We consider our critical accounting policies to be the following:

• Investment in and Valuation of Real Estate and Related Assets;

• Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate and Related Assets;

• Revenue Recognition; and

• Income Taxes.

A complete description of such policies and our considerations is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and our critical accounting policies have not changed during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, and related notes thereto.

Commitments and Contingencies

We may be subject to certain commitments and contingencies with regard to certain transactions. Refer to Note 7 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further explanations.

26

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with Cole Advisors and its affiliates whereby we agree to pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses paid by, Cole Advisors or its affiliates, primarily advisory and performance fees and expenses, organization and offering costs, selling commissions, dealer manager fees and expenses, distribution fees and reimbursement of certain acquisition and operating costs. See Note 8 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further explanation of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.

Subsequent Events

Certain events occurred subsequent to March 31, 2014 through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to Note 10 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further explanation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further explanation. There have been no accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet applied by us, that will significantly impact our financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In connection with the acquisition of our properties, we have obtained variable rate debt financing, and are therefore exposed to changes in LIBOR. As of March 31, 2014, we had $42.9 million of variable rate debt outstanding on the Line of Credit, and a change of 50 basis points in interest rates would result in a change in interest expense of $215,000 per annum. In the future, our objectives in managing interest rate risks will be to limit the impact of interest rate changes on operations and cash flows, and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we expect to borrow primarily at interest rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. In addition, we expect that we may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and rate lock arrangements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk. To the extent we enter into such arrangements, we will be exposed to credit and market risks including, but not limited to, the failure of any counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract or the adverse effect on the value of the financial instrument resulting from a change in interest rates. We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2014, were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms promulgated under the Exchange Act, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d -15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business we may become subject to litigation or claims. We are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, to which we are a party or to which our properties are the subject.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On August 11, 2010, we sold 20,000 shares of common stock, at $10.00 per share to our initial stockholder, for a total amount of $200,000. We issued these shares in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act. On September 20, 2011, our board of directors authorized a reverse stock split providing for the combination of each three shares of our common stock issued and outstanding into two shares of our common stock, resulting in 13,333 shares of common stock issued to our initial stockholder subsequent to the reverse stock split. Following ARCP’s acquisition of Cole, ARCP’s operating partnership, as the successor to our initial stockholder, continues to own 13,333 shares of our common stock.

On December 6, 2011, the Initial Registration Statement for our public offering of up to $4.0 billion in shares of common stock was declared effective under the Securities Act. The Initial Registration Statement covered up to $3.5 billion in shares in a primary offering and up to $500.0 million in shares pursuant to the DRIP. On December 7, 2011, we satisfied the conditions of our escrow agreement and accepted the initial subscription for 666,667 W Shares of our common stock in the offering under the Initial Registration Statement, at a price of $15.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $10.0 million. Additionally, as of March 31, 2014, we were authorized to issue 10.0 million shares of preferred stock, but had none issued or outstanding.

As of March 31, 2014, we had issued approximately 4.9 million shares in the Offering for gross proceeds of $79.5 million, out of which we have incurred $409,000 in dealer manager fees, selling commissions and distribution fees and $597,000 in organization and offering costs. With the net offering proceeds of $78.5 million and the borrowings from the Line of Credit, we acquired $116.2 million in real estate and related assets and incurred $1.5 million of acquisition related expenses.

As of May 9, 2014, we have sold the following common shares and raised the following proceeds in connection with the Offering (dollar amounts in thousands):

	W Shares		A Shares		I Shares		Total
Primary Offering
Shares	4,969,134		144,757		128,941		5,242,832
Proceeds	$	81,334	$	2,451	$	2,169	$	85,954
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
Shares	75,197		545		3,242		78,984
Proceeds	$	1,262	$	9	$	55	$	1,326

We have adopted a share redemption plan to provide limited liquidity whereby, on a daily basis, stockholders may request that we redeem all or any portion of their shares. The redemption price per share for each class on any business day is equal to our NAV per share for such class for that day, calculated by the independent fund accountant after the close of business on the redemption request day, without giving effect to any share purchases or redemptions to be effected on such day. Subject to limited exceptions, stockholders who redeem their shares of our common stock within the first 365 days from the date of purchase are subject to a short-term trading fee of 2% of the aggregate NAV per share of the shares of common stock received. In each calendar quarter, net redemptions are limited under our share redemption plan to 5% of our total NAV as of the end of the immediately preceding quarter, plus any unused percentage carried over to the next quarter, but the maximum carryover percentage may never exceed 15% in the aggregate, and net redemptions in any quarter may never exceed 10% of the prior quarter’s NAV.

28

The provisions of the share redemption program in no way limit our ability to repurchase shares from stockholders by any other legally available means for any reason that our board of directors, in its discretion, deems to be in our best interest. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we redeemed W Shares as follows:

Period	Total Number of Shares Redeemed	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
January 1 - January 31, 2014	14,965	$	16.74	14,965	(1)
February 1 - February 28, 2014	8,912	$	16.85	8,912	(1)
March 1 - March 31, 2014	6,026	$	16.92	6,026	(1)
Total	29,903			29,903	(1)

(1) A description of the maximum number of shares that may be purchased under our share redemption program, the date our share redemption program was announced (in the Initial Registration Statement and the Multi-Class Registration Statement) and the amount of shares approved under our share redemption program is included in the narrative preceding this table.
