COLE CREDIT PROPERTY TRUST IV, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2013
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Cole Credit Property Trust IV, 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. The Company is the sole general partner of and owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the partnership interest in Cole Operating Partnership IV, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“CCPT IV OP”). The Company is externally managed by Cole REIT Advisors IV, LLC (“CR IV Advisors”), which is indirectly owned by Cole Real Estate Investments, Inc. (NYSE: COLE) (“Cole”, formerly known as “Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc.”) as a result of Cole acquiring Cole Holdings Corporation (“CHC”) on April 5, 2013 pursuant to a transaction whereby CHC merged with and into CREInvestments, LLC (“CREI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cole. As a result of the merger, CR IV Advisors and the Company’s dealer manager are wholly-owned by CREI. On October 22, 2013, Cole entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (“ARCP”) and Clark Acquisition Company, LLC, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ARCP (“Merger Sub”), as discussed in Note 11.
On January 26, 2012, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-169533) (the “Registration Statement”) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company commenced its initial public offering on a “best efforts” basis of up to a maximum of 250.0 million shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, subject to reduction in certain circumstances, and up to 50.0 million additional shares to be issued pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) under which the Company’s stockholders may elect to have distributions reinvested in additional shares of common stock at a price of $9.50 per share (the “Offering”).
On April 13, 2012, the Company issued approximately 308,000 shares of its common stock in the Offering and commenced principal operations. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had issued approximately 126.8 million shares of its common stock in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.3 billion before offering costs, selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $136.3 million. The Company intends to continue to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the Offering to acquire and operate a diversified portfolio of core commercial real estate investments primarily consisting of necessity retail properties located throughout the United States, including U.S. protectorates. The Company expects that the retail properties primarily will be single-tenant properties and multi-tenant “power centers” anchored by large, creditworthy national or regional retailers. The Company expects that the retail properties typically will be subject to long-term triple net or double net leases, whereby the tenant will be obligated to pay for most of the expenses of maintaining the property. As of September 30, 2013, the Company owned 240 properties, comprising 7.6 million rentable square feet of commercial space located in 36 states. As of September 30, 2013, the rentable space at these properties was 98% leased. In addition, through an unconsolidated joint venture arrangement, as of September 30, 2013, the Company had an interest in one property comprising 176,000 rentable square feet of commercial space.
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, 2012, and related notes thereto set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. 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.

COLE CREDIT PROPERTY TRUST IV, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
September 30, 2013


The Company evaluates its relationships and investments to determine if it has variable interests. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns.  If the Company determines that it has a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether such interest is in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is broadly defined as an entity where either (1) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company consolidates any VIEs when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s operations.
A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, its form of ownership interest, its representation on the entity’s governing body, the size and seniority of its investment, its ability and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions and to replace the manager of and/or liquidate the entity.
The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate its joint venture arrangement based on standards set forth in GAAP. In determining whether the Company has a controlling interest in a joint venture arrangement and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, power to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a VIE for which the Company may be the primary beneficiary. As of September 30, 2013, the Company is not required to consolidate its joint venture arrangement as the joint venture entity does not qualify as a VIE and the Company does not meet the control requirement for 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 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 Assets
Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Amounts capitalized to real estate 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 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 assets, other than land, are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s real estate assets by class are generally as follows:
Buildings
40 years
Tenant improvements
Lesser of useful life or lease term
Intangible lease assets
Lease term

COLE CREDIT PROPERTY TRUST IV, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
September 30, 2013


The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
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 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 September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate 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 has acquired, and may continue to acquire, certain properties subject to contingent consideration arrangements that may obligate the Company to pay additional consideration to the seller based on the outcome of future events (the “Contingent Payments”). Additionally, the Company may acquire certain properties for which it funds certain contingent consideration amounts into an escrow account pending the outcome of certain future events. The outcome may result in the release of all or a portion of the escrow funds to the Company or the seller or a combination thereof. Contingent consideration arrangements are based on a predetermined formula and have set time periods regarding the obligation to make future payments, including funds released to the seller from escrow accounts, or the right to receive escrowed funds as set forth in the respective purchase and sale agreement. Contingent consideration arrangements, including amounts funded through an escrow account, are recorded upon acquisition of the respective property at their estimated fair value, and any changes to the estimated fair value, subsequent to acquisition, are reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited statements of operations. The determination of the amount of contingent consideration arrangements is based on the probability of several possible outcomes as identified by management. The respective amounts recorded are carried at fair value.
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.
The determination of the fair values of the real estate 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 Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for unconsolidated joint venture arrangements using the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of these investments. The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in the joint ventures’ earnings and distributions. The Company is required to determine whether an event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of its investment in the joint venture. If an event or change in circumstance has occurred, the Company is required to evaluate the joint venture for potential impairment and determine if the carrying amount of its investment exceeds its fair value. An impairment charge is recorded when an impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until the carrying amount is fully recovered. The evaluation of an investment in a joint venture for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain assumptions. The use of different judgments and assumptions could result in different conclusions. No impairment indicators were identified and no impairment losses were recorded related to the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture arrangement for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company did not own any interests in joint venture arrangements for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Restricted Cash and Escrows
Included in restricted cash was $3.6 million and $523,000 of escrowed investor proceeds for which shares of common stock had not been issued as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. In addition, the Company had $1.9 million held by lenders in lockbox accounts, as of September 30, 2013. As part of certain debt agreements, rents from certain encumbered properties are deposited directly into a lockbox account, from which the monthly debt service payment is disbursed to the lender and the excess is disbursed to the Company. Also included in restricted cash as of September 30, 2013 was $693,000 held by lenders in escrow accounts for real estate taxes and other lender reserves for certain properties, in accordance with the respective lender’s loan agreement. There were no amounts held by lenders as of December 31, 2012.
Concentration of Credit Risk
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had cash on deposit, including restricted cash, at five financial institutions, in four of which the Company had deposits in excess of federally insured levels totaling $132.5 million; 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 September 30, 2013, no single tenant accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s 2013 gross annualized rental revenues. The Company had certain geographic concentrations in its property holdings. In particular, as of September 30, 2013, four of the Company’s properties were located in California, eight were located in New York and 37 were located in Texas, which accounted for 16%, 11% and 10%, respectively, of the Company’s 2013 gross annualized rental revenues. In addition, the Company had tenants in the discount store and drugstore industries, which comprised 12% and 10%, respectively, of the Company’s 2013 gross annualized rental revenues.
Offering and Related Costs
CR IV Advisors funds all of the organization and offering costs on the Company’s behalf (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fees) and may be reimbursed for such costs up to 2.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering. As of September 30, 2013, CR IV Advisors had paid organization and offering costs in excess of the 2.0% 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 2.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering. As the Company raises additional proceeds from the Offering, these excess costs may become payable. When recorded by the Company, organization costs are expensed as incurred and offering costs, which include items such as legal and accounting fees, marketing and personnel, promotional and printing costs, are recorded as a reduction of capital in excess of par value along with selling commissions and dealer manager fees in the period in which they become payable.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company accounts for its derivative instruments at fair value. Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument and the designation of the derivative instrument. The change in fair value of the effective portion of the derivative instrument that is designated as a hedge is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss). The changes in fair value for derivative instruments that are not designated as a hedge or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria are recorded as a gain or loss to operations.
Due to Affiliates
Certain affiliates of CR IV Advisors received, and will continue to receive, fees, reimbursements and compensation in connection with services provided relating to the Offering and the acquisition, management, financing and leasing of the properties of the Company.
Redeemable Common Stock
Under the Company’s share redemption program, the Company’s requirement to redeem shares of its outstanding common stock is limited, among other things, to the net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of shares under the DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date. The Company records amounts that are redeemable under the share redemption program as redeemable common stock outside of permanent equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets. Changes in the amount of redeemable common stock from period to period are recorded as an adjustment to capital in excess of par value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update, 2013-02 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”), which amends the reporting requirements for comprehensive income pertaining to the reclassification of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2013, and the Company has presented the required information within the condensed consolidated unaudited statements of comprehensive income (loss) and notes to the financial statements.
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 and restricted cash – The Company considers the carrying values of these financial assets to approximate fair value because of the short period of time between their origination and their expected realization.
Credit facility and notes payable – 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. As of September 30, 2013, the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $636.4 million compared to the carrying value of $649.9 million. The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $274.6 million as of December 31, 2012, which approximated the carrying value on such date. The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs.
Derivative instruments – The Company’s derivative instruments represent interest rate swaps. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of these instruments is determined using interest rate market pricing models. The Company includes the impact of credit valuation adjustments on derivative instruments measured at fair value.

COLE CREDIT PROPERTY TRUST IV, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
September 30, 2013


Contingent consideration arrangements – The contingent consideration arrangements are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the Contingent Payments is determined based on the estimated timing and probability of the seller leasing vacant space subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of certain properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded additional obligations with an aggregate estimated fair value of $553,000 upon purchase of certain properties. The total estimated fair value of contingent consideration arrangements was $931,000 and $708,000 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets in deferred rental income and other liabilities. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the fair value of the outstanding contingent consideration arrangements decreased by $91,000, which resulted in additional income that is recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in interest expense and other, and the Company paid $239,000 to the seller as obligations under certain contingent consideration arrangements were satisfied.
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 September 30, 2013, there have been no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between levels.
In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following tables show the fair value of the Company’s financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

The interest rates consist of the underlying index swapped to a fixed rate and the applicable interest rate spread.
Additional disclosures related to the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are included in Note 3. The notional amount under the interest rate swap agreements is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in each instrument, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.
Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. The Company designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges, to hedge the variability of the anticipated cash flows on its variable rate debt. The change in fair value of the effective portion of the derivative instruments that is designated as hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instruments is recorded in interest expense.
The following table summarizes the unrealized losses on the Company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 (in thousands). The Company did not own any derivative instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its unsecured indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations resulting in an acceleration of payment. In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its derivative counterparties. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into agreements with creditworthy counterparties. The Company records credit risk valuation adjustments on its interest rate swaps based on the respective credit quality of the Company and the counterparty. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no termination events or events of default related to the interest rate swaps.

As of September 30, 2013, the fixed rate debt outstanding of $349.9 million included $38.7 million of variable rate debt subject to interest rate swap agreements, which had the effect of fixing the variable interest rates per annum through the maturity date of the variable rate debt. The fixed rate debt has interest rates ranging from 3.35% to 4.75% per annum. The debt outstanding matures on various dates from June 2018 through September 2023. The aggregate balance of gross real estate assets, net of gross intangible lease liabilities, securing the fixed rate debt outstanding was $597.0 million as of September 30, 2013. Each of the mortgage notes payable, comprising the fixed rate debt, is secured by the respective properties on which the debt was placed.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated unsecured credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), which increased available borrowings, extended the term and decreased the interest rates associated with the Company’s original credit agreement. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $300.0 million outstanding under the amended and restated unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and $270.7 million available for borrowing based on the underlying collateral pool of $877.9 million. The Credit Facility provides borrowings of up to $900.0 million, which includes a $300.0 million unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”) and up to $600.0 million in unsecured revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”). The Credit Facility may be increased up to a maximum of $1.25 billion. The Term Loan matures on August 15, 2018 and the Revolving Loans mature on August 15, 2017; however, the Company may elect to extend the maturity date for the Revolving Loans to August 15, 2018 subject to satisfying certain conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Depending upon the type of loan specified and overall leverage ratio, not to exceed 65% (or 60% on or subsequent to August 15, 2014), the Revolving Loans bear interest at one-month, two-month, three-month or six-month LIBOR multiplied by the statutory reserve rate (the “Eurodollar Rate”) plus an interest rate spread ranging from 1.65% to 2.50% or a base rate, ranging from 0.65% to 1.50%, plus the greater of (a) JPMorgan Chase’s Prime Rate; (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus 0.50%; or (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%. The Company executed a swap agreement associated with the Term Loan, which fixed the variable interest rates per annum through the maturity date of the Term Loan at 3.71% based on the applicable margin at the current leverage ratio. There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loans as of September 30, 2013.
Concurrently with entry into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the unsecured bridge facility (the “Bridge Facility”) was terminated and no amounts were outstanding under the Bridge Facility as of September 30, 2013.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the fixed rate debt contain 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 Amended and Restated 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, the Company believes it was in compliance with such covenants as of September 30, 2013.
In addition, the Company had a $10.0 million subordinate revolving line of credit with Series C, LLC, an affiliate of CR IV Advisors (“Series C”), (the “Series C Loan”) that matured on April 12, 2013. The Series C Loan had a fixed interest rate of 4.50%. The Series C Loan was approved by a majority of the directors (including a majority of the independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to the Company than a comparable loan between unaffiliated parties under the same circumstances. Upon maturity, there were no amounts outstanding on the Series C Loan.

NOTE 8 — 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.
Purchase Commitments
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had entered into purchase agreements with unaffiliated third-party sellers to acquire a 100% interest in 52 retail properties, subject to meeting certain criteria, for an aggregate purchase price of $172.7 million, exclusive of closing costs. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $6.9 million of property escrow deposits held by escrow agents in connection with these future property acquisitions, of which $4.0 million will be forfeited if the transactions are not completed under certain circumstances. In connection with one of these purchase agreements, the Company is contractually required to purchase 25 properties. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had purchased one of these properties and expects to purchase the remaining 24 properties. If the remaining 24 properties are not purchased, the Company will be obligated to pay the seller $10.0 million. These deposits are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets in property escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets. As of November 8, 2013, none of these escrow deposits had been forfeited.

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 9 — RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, commissions, fees and expenses payable to CR IV Advisors and certain of its affiliates in connection with the Offering, and the acquisition, management and disposition of its assets.
Offering
In connection with the Offering, Cole Capital Corporation (“CCC”), the Company’s dealer manager and a subsidiary of Cole, which is affiliated with CR IV Advisors, receives a selling commission of up to 7.0% of gross offering proceeds before reallowance of commissions earned by participating broker-dealers. CCC has reallowed and intends to continue to reallow 100% of selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. In addition, CCC receives up to 2.0% of gross offering proceeds before reallowance to participating broker-dealers as a dealer manager fee in connection with the Offering. CCC, in its sole discretion, may reallow all or a portion of its dealer manager fee to such participating broker-dealers. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are paid to CCC or other broker-dealers with respect to shares sold pursuant to the DRIP.
All other organization and offering expenses associated with the sale of the Company’s common stock (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fees) are paid by CR IV Advisors or its affiliates and are reimbursed by the Company up to 2.0% of aggregate gross offering proceeds. A portion of the other organization and offering expenses are considered to be underwriting compensation. As of September 30, 2013, CR IV Advisors had paid organization and offering costs in excess of the 2.0% 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 2.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering. As the Company raises additional proceeds from the Offering, these excess costs may become payable.
The Company incurred commissions, fees and expense reimbursements as shown in the table below for services provided by CR IV Advisors or its affiliates related to the services described above during the periods indicated (in thousands):

Acquisitions and Operations
CR IV Advisors or its affiliates also receive acquisition fees of up to 2.0% of: (1) the contract purchase price of each property or asset the Company acquires; (2) the amount paid in respect of the development, construction or improvement of each asset the Company acquires; (3) the purchase price of any loan the Company acquires; and (4) the principal amount of any loan the Company originates. Additionally, CR IV Advisors or its affiliates are reimbursed for acquisition related expenses incurred in the process of acquiring properties, so long as the total acquisition fees and expenses relating to the transaction do not exceed 6.0% of the contract purchase price.
The Company pays CR IV Advisors a monthly advisory fee based upon the Company’s monthly average invested assets, which is equal to the following amounts: (1) an annualized rate of 0.75% will be paid on the Company’s average invested assets that are between $0 to $2.0 billion; (2) an annualized rate of 0.70% will be paid on the Company’s average invested assets that are between $2.0 billion to $4.0 billion; and (3) an annualized rate of 0.65% will be paid on the Company’s average invested assets that are over $4.0 billion.
 The Company reimburses CR IV Advisors for the 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) 2.0% of average invested assets, or (2) 25.0% 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. The Company will not reimburse for personnel costs in connection with services for which CR IV Advisors receives acquisition fees.

The Company commenced principal operations on April 13, 2012 and CR IV Advisors agreed to waive advisory fees and expense reimbursements for the first two months of operations.
Liquidation/Listing
If CR IV Advisors or its affiliates provide a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of the Company’s independent directors) in connection with the sale of properties, the Company will pay CR IV Advisors or its affiliate a disposition fee in an amount equal to up to one-half of the brokerage commission paid on the sale of the property, not to exceed 1.0% of the contract price of the property sold; provided, however, in no event may the disposition fee paid to CR IV Advisors or its affiliates, when added to the real estate commissions paid to unaffiliated third parties, exceed the lesser of the customary competitive real estate commission or an amount equal to 6.0% of the contract sales price.
If the Company is sold or its assets are liquidated, CR IV Advisors will be entitled to receive a subordinated performance fee equal to 15.0% of the net sale proceeds remaining after investors have received a return of their net capital invested and an 8.0% annual cumulative, non-compounded return. Alternatively, if the Company’s shares are listed on a national securities exchange, CR IV Advisors will be entitled to a subordinated performance fee equal to 15.0% of the amount by which the market value of the Company’s outstanding stock plus all distributions paid by the Company prior to listing exceeds the sum of the total amount of capital raised from investors and the amount of distributions necessary to generate an 8.0% annual cumulative, non-compounded return to investors. As an additional alternative, upon termination of the advisory agreement, CR IV Advisors may be entitled to a subordinated performance fee similar to that to which CR IV Advisors would have been entitled had the portfolio been liquidated (based on an independent appraised value of the portfolio) on the date of termination.
During each of the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, no commissions or fees were incurred for any services provided by CR IV Advisors and its affiliates in connection with the liquidation/listing stage.

Due to Affiliates
As of September 30, 2013, $4.6 million had been incurred primarily for offering, operating and acquisition related expenses by CR IV Advisors or its affiliates, but had not yet been reimbursed by the Company and were included in due to affiliates in the condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets.
Transactions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not acquire any properties from or enter into any loan agreements with affiliates of CR IV Advisors. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in two commercial properties from Series C for an aggregate purchase price of $4.3 million. A majority of the Company’s board of directors (including a majority of the Company’s independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transactions approved the acquisitions as being fair and reasonable to the Company and determined that the cost to the Company of each property was equal to the cost of the respective property to Series C (including acquisition related expenses). In addition, the purchase price of each property, exclusive of closing costs, was less than the then-current appraised value of the respective property as determined by an independent third party appraiser.
In connection with the real estate assets acquired from Series C during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company entered into the Series C Loan. Refer to Note 6 for the terms of the Series C Loan. The Series C Loan was repaid in full during the year ended December 31, 2012 with proceeds from the Offering. The Company paid $39,000 of interest to CR IV Advisors related to the Series C Loan during the year ended December 31, 2012.
NOTE 10 — ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY
Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage CR IV Advisors and its affiliates to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of properties owned by the Company, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services and investor relations. As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon CR IV Advisors and its affiliates. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the Company with these services, the Company would be required to find alternative providers of these services.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, the notes thereto and the other unaudited financial data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. and unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto.
Forward-Looking Statements
Except for historical information, this section contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including discussion and analysis of our financial condition and our subsidiaries, our anticipated capital expenditures, amounts of anticipated cash distributions to our stockholders in the future and other matters. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but are the intent, belief or current expectations of our management based on their knowledge and understanding of our business and industry. Words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should” or comparable words, variations and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements not based on historical fact are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. A full discussion of our risk factors may be found under “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Forward-looking statements that were true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We make no representation or warranty (expressed 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. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, among others, changes in general economic conditions, changes in real estate conditions, construction costs that may exceed estimates, construction delays, increases in interest rates, lease-up risks, rent relief, inability to obtain new tenants upon the expiration or termination of existing leases, inability to obtain financing or refinance existing debt, and the potential need to fund tenant improvements or other capital expenditures out of operating cash flows. The forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors identified under “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Overview
We were formed on July 27, 2010, and we elected to be taxed, and currently qualify, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We commenced our principal operations on April 13, 2012, when we satisfied the conditions of our escrow agreement and issued approximately 308,000 shares of our common stock. We have no paid employees and are externally advised and managed by CR IV Advisors. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the Offering to acquire and operate a diverse portfolio of retail and other income-producing commercial properties, which are leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term leases. We expect that most of the properties will be strategically located throughout the United States and U.S. protectorates and subject to long-term triple net or double net leases, whereby the tenant will be obligated to pay for all or most of the expenses of maintaining the property (including real estate taxes, special assessments and sales and use taxes, utilities, insurance, building repairs and common area maintenance related to the property). We generally intend to hold each property we acquire for an extended period of more than seven years.

23

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 88% and 93% of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 89% and 94% of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As 98% of our rentable square feet was under lease as of September 30, 2013, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 12.6 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. CR IV 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 CR IV Advisors 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. In addition, as of September 30, 2013, 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 41%.
As we acquire additional commercial real estate, we will be subject to changes in real estate prices and changes in interest rates on any 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 began to improve 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 alternative lending sources, including securitized debt, fixed rate loans, Credit Facility borrowings, 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.
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 September 30, 2013, 98% 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, CR IV 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.

As shown in the tables above, we owned 240 commercial properties as of September 30, 2013, compared to 32 commercial properties as of September 30, 2012. Accordingly, our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, reflect significant increases in most categories. In addition, we began principal operations on April 13, 2012, which impacted the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
Revenue. Revenue increased $28.5 million to $30.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Our revenue consisted primarily of rental and other property income from net leased commercial properties, which accounted for 88% and 93% of total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We also pay certain operating expenses subject to reimbursement by our tenants, which resulted in $3.7 million of tenant reimbursement income during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $123,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 208 rental income-producing properties subsequent to September 30, 2012.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $589,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to increased trustee fees and operating expense reimbursements as a result of an increase in the number of stockholders of record and the acquisition of 208 rental income-producing properties subsequent to September 30, 2012, combined with an increase in accounting fees and state franchise and income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. The primary general and administrative expense items are operating expense reimbursements, unused borrowing facility fees, escrow and trustee fees and accounting fees.
Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses increased $4.1 million to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $130,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 208 rental income-producing properties subsequent to September 30, 2012. In addition, the increase was due to the ownership of more properties during the three months ended September 30, 2013 than in the three months ended September 30, 2012, for which we initially pay certain operating expenses and are reimbursed by the tenant in accordance with the respective lease agreements. The primary property operating expense items are property taxes, repairs and maintenance and property related insurance.

25

Advisory Fees and Expenses. Pursuant to the advisory agreement with CR IV Advisors and based upon the amount of our current invested assets, we are required to pay to CR IV Advisors a monthly advisory fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the average invested assets. Additionally, we may be required to reimburse certain expenses incurred by CR IV Advisors in providing such advisory services, subject to limitations as set forth in the advisory agreement. Advisory fees and expenses increased $2.9 million to $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $207,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was due to an increase in our average invested assets to $1.4 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $110.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Acquisition Related Expenses. Acquisition related expenses increased $7.8 million to $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $2.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition related expenses incurred in connection with the purchase of 62 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $344.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the purchase of 16 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $92.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $9.1 million to $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $677,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our average invested assets to $1.4 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $110.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Interest Expense and Other. Interest expense and other increased $6.8 million to $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $364,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average aggregate amount of debt outstanding to $663.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $33.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, interest expense and other includes amortization of deferred financing costs and equity in income related to the Unconsolidated Joint Venture.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
Revenue. Revenue increased $61.0 million to $63.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Our revenue consisted primarily of rental and other property income from net leased commercial properties, which accounted for 89% and 94% of total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We also pay certain operating expenses subject to reimbursement by our tenants, which resulted in $7.0 million of tenant reimbursement income during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $150,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 208 rental income-producing properties subsequent to September 30, 2012.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $4.0 million to $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $812,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in operating expense reimbursements, incurred by CR IV Advisors on our behalf, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as we commenced principal operations on April 13, 2012 and CR IV Advisors agreed to waive operating expense reimbursements for the first two months of operations. The increase was also due to increased trustee fees and unused borrowing facility fees as a result of an increase in the number of stockholders of record and the acquisition of 208 rental income-producing properties subsequent to September 30, 2012. The primary general and administrative expense items are operating expense reimbursements, unused borrowing facility fees, escrow and trustee fees and accounting fees.
Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses increased $7.7 million to $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $157,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 208 rental income-producing properties subsequent to September 30, 2012. In addition, the increase was due to the ownership of more properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 than in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, for which we initially pay certain operating expenses and are reimbursed by the tenant in accordance with the respective lease agreements. The primary property operating expense items are property taxes, repairs and maintenance and property related insurance.

26

Advisory Fees and Expenses. Pursuant to the advisory agreement with CR IV Advisors and based upon the amount of our current invested assets, we are required to pay to CR IV Advisors a monthly advisory fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the average invested assets. Additionally, we may be required to reimburse certain expenses incurred by CR IV Advisors in providing such advisory services, subject to limitations as set forth in the advisory agreement. Advisory fees and expenses increased $6.1 million to $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $297,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as we commenced principal operations on April 13, 2012 and CR IV Advisors agreed to waive advisory fees and expense reimbursements for the first two months of operations. The increase was also due to an increase in the average invested assets to $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $78.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Acquisition Related Expenses. Acquisition related expenses increased $25.9 million to $30.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $4.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition related expenses incurred in connection with the purchase of 151 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $1.1 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the purchase of 32 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $157.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $19.5 million to $20.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $938,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our average invested assets to $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $78.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Interest Expense and Other. Interest expense and other increased $14.9 million to $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $617,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average aggregate amount of debt outstanding to $462.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, interest expense and other includes amortization of deferred financing costs and equity in income related to the Unconsolidated Joint Venture.
Distributions
Our board of directors authorized a daily distribution, based on 365 days in the calendar year, of $0.001712523 per share (which equates to 6.25% on an annualized basis calculated at the current rate, assuming a $10.00 per share purchase price) for stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing on January 1, 2013 and ending on December 31, 2013.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we paid distributions of $25.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, including $13.4 million and $539,000, respectively, through the issuance of shares pursuant to the DRIP. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $3.5 million and reflected a reduction for real estate acquisition related expenses incurred of $30.5 million, in accordance with GAAP. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was $3.4 million and reflected a reduction for real estate acquisition related expenses incurred of $4.6 million, in accordance with GAAP. As set forth in the “Estimated Use of Proceeds” section of the prospectus for the Offering, we treat our real estate acquisition related expenses as funded by proceeds from the Offering, including proceeds from the DRIP. Therefore, proceeds from the issuance of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are considered a source of our distributions to the extent that real estate acquisition related expenses have reduced net cash flows from operating activities. Our 2013 distributions were funded by net cash provided by operating activities of $3.5 million, or 14%, and proceeds from the Offering of $21.8 million, or 86%. All of our 2012 distributions were funded from proceeds from the Offering.

27

Share Redemptions
Our share redemption program permits our stockholders to sell their shares back to us after they have held them for at least one year, subject to significant conditions and limitations. The share redemption program provides that we will redeem shares of our common stock from requesting stockholders, subject to the terms and conditions of the share redemption program. We will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid. Funding for the redemption of shares will be limited to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under the DRIP. In addition, we will redeem shares on a quarterly basis, at the rate of approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid. As of September 30, 2013, we received valid redemption requests under our share redemption program totaling approximately 123,000 shares, of which we redeemed approximately 31,000 shares as of September 30, 2013 for $302,000 ($9.88 per share) and approximately 92,000 shares subsequent to September 30, 2013 for $881,000 ($9.57 per share). A valid redemption request is one that complies with the applicable requirements and guidelines of our current share redemption program set forth in our prospectus. We have funded and intend to continue funding share redemptions with proceeds from the DRIP.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our principal demands for funds will be for real estate and real estate-related investments, for the payment of operating expenses and distributions, for the payment of principal and interest on any outstanding indebtedness and to satisfy redemption requests. Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions from our cash flows from operations, and 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 provided by the rental income received from our leased properties. We expect to continue to raise capital through the Offering and to utilize such funds and proceeds from secured or unsecured financing to complete future property acquisitions.
As of September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $129.3 million and available borrowings of $270.7 million under the Credit Facility. Additionally, as of September 30, 2013, we had unencumbered properties with a gross book value of $979.4 million, including $877.9 million of assets that are part of the Credit Facility’s unencumbered borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base Assets”), which may be used as collateral to secure additional financing in future periods or as additional collateral to facilitate the refinancing of current mortgage debt as it becomes due, subject to certain covenants and leverage and borrowing base restrictions related to the Credit Facility; however, the use of any Borrowing Base Assets as collateral would reduce the available borrowings under the Credit Facility.
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a short-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for operating expenses, distributions and interest and principal on current and any future indebtedness. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations and proceeds from the Offering, as well as secured or unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders to finance our expected future acquisitions.
We expect our operating cash flows to increase as we continue to acquire properties. Assuming a maximum offering and assuming all shares available under the DRIP are sold, we expect that approximately 88.1% of the gross proceeds from the sale of our common stock (86.7% if no shares are issued pursuant to the DRIP) will be invested in real estate and real estate-related assets, while the remaining approximately 11.9% will be used for working capital and to pay costs of the Offering, including sales commissions, dealer manager fees, organization and offering expenses and fees and expenses of CR IV Advisors in connection with acquiring properties. CR IV Advisors pays the organizational and other offering costs associated with the sale of our common stock (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fees), which we reimburse in an amount up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. As of September 30, 2013, CR IV Advisors had paid organization and offering costs in excess of the 2.0% in connection with the Offering. These excess costs were not included in our financial statements because such costs were not a liability to us as they exceeded 2.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering. As we continue to raise additional proceeds from the Offering, these excess costs may become payable. This amount may become payable to CR IV Advisors as we continue to raise additional proceeds in the Offering.

28

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a long-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related investments and the payment of acquisition related expenses, operating expenses, distributions and redemptions to stockholders and interest and principal on any current and future indebtedness. Generally, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through proceeds from the sale of our common stock, borrowings on the Credit Facility, proceeds from secured or unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders and net cash flows provided by operations.
We expect that substantially all net cash flows from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, are paid; however, we may use other sources to fund distributions, as necessary, including proceeds from the Offering, borrowings on the Credit Facility and/or future borrowings on our unencumbered assets. To the extent that cash flows from operations are lower due to fewer properties being acquired or lower than expected returns on the properties, distributions paid to our stockholders may be lower. We expect that substantially all net cash flows from the Offering or debt financings will be used to fund acquisitions, certain capital expenditures identified at acquisition, repayments of outstanding debt or distributions to our stockholders.
As of September 30, 2013, we had issued approximately 126.8 million shares of our common stock in the Offering resulting in gross proceeds of $1.3 billion.
As of September 30, 2013, we had $649.9 million of debt outstanding and the ratio of our debt to gross real estate and related assets, net of gross intangible lease liabilities, was 41%. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for certain terms of our debt outstanding.

(1)
The table does not include amounts due to CR IV Advisors or its affiliates pursuant to our advisory agreement because such amounts are not fixed and determinable.
(2)
As of September 30, 2013, we had $38.7 million of variable rate debt effectively fixed through the use of interest rate swap agreements. We used the effective interest rates fixed under our swap agreements to calculate the debt payment obligations in future periods.
(3)
Payment obligations for the Term Loan outstanding under the Credit Facility are based on the interest rate of 3.71%, which is the rate fixed under the executed swap agreement that had the effect of fixing the variable interest rate per annum through the maturity date of August 2018.
(4)
The fixed rate debt includes bond obligations assumed in connection with a property acquisition with an aggregate balance of $584,000. They are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets in deferred rental income and other liabilities.
We expect to incur additional borrowings in the future to acquire additional properties and make other real estate related investments. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow against any single improved property. Our future borrowings will not exceed 300% of our net assets as of the date of any borrowing, which is the maximum level of indebtedness permitted under the North American Securities Administrators Association REIT Guidelines; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors. Our board of directors has adopted a policy to further limit our borrowings to 60% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our gross assets, unless excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in the next quarterly report along with the justification for such excess borrowing.

29

As of September 30, 2013, we had entered into purchase agreements with unaffiliated third-party sellers to acquire a 100% interest in 52 retail properties, subject to meeting certain criteria, for an aggregate purchase price of $172.7 million, exclusive of closing costs. As of September 30, 2013, we had $6.9 million of property escrow deposits held by escrow agents in connection with these future property acquisitions, of which $4.0 million will be forfeited if the transactions are not completed under certain circumstances. In connection with one of these purchase agreements, we are contractually required to purchase 25 properties. As of September 30, 2013, we had purchased one of these properties and expect to purchase the remaining 24 properties. If the remaining 24 properties are not purchased, we will be obligated to pay the seller $10.0 million. These deposits are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets in property escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets. As of November 8, 2013, none of these escrow deposits had been forfeited.
Cash Flow Analysis
Operating Activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was $3.5 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The change was primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of $21.6 million, an increase in net loss of $17.2 million and a net increase in working capital accounts of $2.6 million. 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 $936.6 million to $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $157.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 151 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $1.1 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 32 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $157.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities increased $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $172.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The change was primarily due to net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $852.2 million and net proceeds from the borrowing facilities and notes payable of $375.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Election as a REIT
We are taxed 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 (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding 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 will be subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which 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 to GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us 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 our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to the 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:

30

•
Investment in and Valuation of Real Estate Assets;
•
Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate Assets;
•
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities;
•
Revenue Recognition; and
•
Income Taxes.
Except as set forth below, 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, 2012. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities was not considered a critical accounting policy for the year ended December 31, 2012 because no transactions in derivative instruments or hedging activities had occurred during the year ended December 31, 2012. 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, 2012, and related notes thereto.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company accounts for its derivative instruments at fair value. Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument and the designation of the derivative instrument. The change in fair value of the effective portion of the derivative instrument that is designated as a hedge is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss). The changes in fair value for derivative instruments that are not designated as a hedge or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria are recorded as a gain or loss to operations.
Commitments and Contingencies
We may be subject to certain commitments and contingencies with regard to certain transactions. Refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further explanations.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with CR IV Advisors and its affiliates whereby we agree to pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, CR IV Advisors or its affiliates such as acquisition fees, disposition fees, organization and offering costs, sales commissions, dealer manager fees, advisory fees and reimbursement of certain operating costs. See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.
Subsequent Events
Certain events occurred subsequent to September 30, 2013 through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to Note 11 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included 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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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.

31

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In connection with the acquisition of our properties, we have obtained variable rate debt financing through borrowings under the Revolving Loans and therefore may be exposed to changes in LIBOR. As of September 30, 2013, we had no variable rate debt outstanding under the Revolving Loans, and as such, there was no exposure to changes in interest expense per annum. In the future, we may obtain additional variable rate debt financing to fund certain property acquisitions, and may be exposed to interest rate changes. 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. We have entered, and expect to continue to enter, into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk associated with our variable rate debt. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. We may also enter into rate lock arrangements to lock interest rates on future borrowings. We may 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.
As of September 30, 2013, we had three interest rate swap agreements outstanding, which mature on various dates from June 2018 through August 2020, with an aggregate notional amount of $338.7 million and an aggregate net fair value of $(5.0) million. The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads. As of September 30, 2013, an increase of 50 basis points in interest rates would result in a decrease to the fair value of the derivative liability of $7.2 million.
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 September 30, 2013, 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 September 30, 2013 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, 2012.
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 CHC, which formerly was the indirect owner of CR IV Advisors and our dealer manager. On January 26, 2012, the Registration Statement for the offering of up to 250.0 million shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, subject to reduction in certain circumstances, was declared effective under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement also covered the offering of up to 50.0 million shares of common stock pursuant to the DRIP, under which stockholders may elect to have distributions reinvested in additional shares at a price of $9.50 per share.
On April 13, 2012, we issued approximately 308,000 shares of our common stock in the Offering and commenced principal operations. As of September 30, 2013, we had issued approximately 126.8 million shares in the Offering for gross proceeds of $1.3 billion, out of which we paid $111.0 million in selling commissions and dealer manager fees and $25.3 million in organization and offering costs to CR IV Advisors or its affiliates. With the net offering proceeds and indebtedness, we acquired $1.6 billion in real estate and related assets and incurred acquisition costs of $44.9 million, including costs of $32.6 million in acquisition fees and expense reimbursements to CR IV Advisors. As of November 8, 2013, we have sold approximately 162.7 million shares in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.6 billion.
Our board of directors has adopted a share redemption program that permits our stockholders to sell their shares back to us after they have held them for at least one year, subject to the significant conditions and limitations described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our board of directors reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time, and from time to time, to waive the one-year holding period in the event of death, bankruptcy or other exigent circumstances or terminate, suspend or amend the share redemption program. The share redemption program provides that we will redeem shares of our common stock from requesting stockholders, subject to the terms and conditions of the share redemption program. We will not redeem in excess of 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid. Funding for the redemption of shares will be limited to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under the DRIP. In addition, we will redeem shares on a quarterly basis, at the rate of approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid.
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 September 30, 2013, we redeemed shares, including those due to death, as follows:
