REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

American Realty Capital Properties, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Realty Capital Trust III, Inc. (a Maryland corporation) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012 and the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Realty Capital Trust III, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012 and the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012

Note 1 — Organization

American Realty Capital Trust III, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated on October 15, 2010, as a Maryland corporation that qualified as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ended December 31, 2011. On March 31, 2011, the Company commenced its initial public offering (the "IPO") on a "reasonable best efforts" basis of up to 150.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share at a price of $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-170298) (the "Registration Statement"), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement also covered up to 25.0 million shares available pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the "DRIP") under which the Company's common stockholders were able to elect to have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company's common stock at a price initially equal to $9.50 per share, which was 95% of the offering price in the primary offering. The Company sold 20,000 shares of common stock to American Realty Capital III Special Limited Partnership, LLC (the "Special Limited Partner"), an entity wholly owned by AR Capital, LLC (the "Sponsor"), on October 20, 2010, at $10.00 per share. In August 2011, the Company had raised proceeds sufficient to break escrow in connection with the IPO.

As of August 31, 2012, the Company had issued the entire 150.0 million shares of common stock registered in connection with its IPO, plus 1.0 million shares of common stock pursuant to the DRIP, and in accordance with the Registration Statement, reallocated the remaining 24.0 million shares of common stock initially registered for issuance pursuant to the DRIP to the primary offering. In addition, on August 30, 2012, the Company registered an additional 25.0 million shares to be used under the DRIP pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-183649). On September 28, 2012, the Company announced the close of the IPO following the successful achievement of its target equity raise of $1.7 billion, including shares reallocated from registration for the DRIP. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had 176.9 million shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares and shares issued pursuant to the DRIP and had received total proceeds from these issuances of $1.8 billion. As of December 31, 2012, the aggregate value of all issuances and subscriptions of common stock outstanding was $1.8 billion, based on a per share value of $10.00 (or $9.50 per share for shares issued under the DRIP).

The Company was formed to primarily acquire a diversified portfolio of commercial properties, comprised primarily of freestanding single-tenant properties that are net leased to investment grade and other creditworthy tenants. All such properties may be acquired and operated by the Company alone or jointly with another party. The Company may also originate or acquire first mortgage loans secured by real estate. American Realty Capital Advisors III, LLC (the "Advisor"), is the Company's affiliated advisor. The Company purchased its first property and commenced real estate operations in September 2011. As of December 31, 2012, the Company owned 507 properties with an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 billion, comprised of 13.0 million rentable square feet which were 100% leased.

Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through American Realty Capital Operating Partnership III, L.P. (the "OP"), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of the OP and the Advisor holds 202 units of limited partner interests in the OP ("OP Units") (a non-controlling interest), which represent a nominal percentage of the aggregate equity interest. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company, the OP and unaffiliated third party investors entered into contribution agreements pursuant to which the OP issued, in the aggregate, 773,656 OP units in exchange for $7.4 million of aggregate cash contributions by the unaffiliated third party investors to the OP. As of December 31, 2012, the unaffiliated third party investors hold 773,656 OP Units (non-controlling interest), which also represent a nominal percentage of the aggregate equity interest in the OP. After holding the OP Units for a period of one year, or upon the liquidation of the OP or sale of substantially all of the assets of the OP, holders of the OP Units have the right to convert OP units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of common stock or, at the option of the OP, a corresponding number of shares of the Company's common stock, as allowed by the limited partnership agreement of the OP. The remaining rights of the limited partner interest are limited, however, and do not include the ability to replace the general partner or to approve the sale, purchase or refinancing of the OP's assets.

The Company has retained the Advisor to manage its affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Company has retained American Realty Capital Properties III, LLC (the "Property Manager"), an entity wholly owned by the Special Limited Partner, to serve as the Company's property manager. Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the "Dealer Manager"), an affiliate of the Sponsor, served as the dealer manager of the Company's IPO. The Advisor, Property Manager and Dealer Manager are related parties and have received and/or will receive, as applicable, compensation and fees for services related to the IPO and for the investment and management of the Company's assets. Such entities receive fees during the offering, acquisition, operational and liquidation stages of the Company.

Note 2 — Merger Agreement

On December 14, 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with American Realty Capital Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("ARCP"), and certain subsidiaries of each company. The Merger Agreement provided for the merger of the Company with and into a subsidiary of ARCP (the "Merger"). The Merger was completed on February 28, 2013.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of the Company was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.95 of a share of ARCP common stock or (ii) $12.00 in cash, but in no event was the aggregate consideration paid in cash, be paid on more than 30% of the shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Merger ("Merger Consideration"). In addition, each outstanding unit of equity ownership of the OP was converted into the right to receive 0.95 of the same class of unit of equity ownership in ARC Properties Operating Partnership, L.P. ("ARCP OP"). Upon closing of the Merger on February 28, 2013, 29.2 million shares, or 16.5% of the then outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, elected to be paid in cash at $12.00 per share. In addition, 148.2 million shares of the Company's common stock converted to ARCP shares of common stock at the exchange ratio of 0.95 of a share.

On February 28, 2013, ARCP OP entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement (the "Contribution and Exchange Agreement") with the OP and the Special Limited Partner of the OP. The Special Limited Partner was entitled to receive certain distributions from the OP, including the subordinated distribution of net sales proceeds resulting from an "investment liquidity event" (as defined in the agreement of limited partnership of the OP). The Merger constituted an "investment liquidity event," as a result of which the Special Limited Partner, in connection with management's successful attainment of the 6% performance hurdle and the return to the Company's stockholders of $557.3 million in addition to their initial investment, was entitled to receive a subordinated distribution of net sales proceeds from the OP. Pursuant to the Contribution and Exchange Agreement, the Special Limited Partner contributed its interest in the OP, inclusive of the subordinated distribution proceeds received together with $0.8 million in cash, to the OP in exchange for 7.6 million OP Units. Upon consummation of the Merger these OP Units were immediately converted to 7.3 million units of equity ownership of ARCP OP ("ARCP OP Units") after application of the exchange ratio. In conjunction with the Merger Agreement, the Special Limited Partner agreed to a minimum one-year holding period for these OP units before converting them to shares of ARCP common stock.

Upon consummation of the Merger, the vesting of certain shares of Company restricted stock was accelerated.

Credit Facility

On February 14, 2013, the Company entered into an $875.0 million unsecured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association acting as administrative agent (the "Credit Facility"), which ARCP will assume as of the consummation of the Merger. Capital One, N.A. and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. will participate as documentation agents and RBS Citizens, N.A. and Regions Bank will act as syndication agents for the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility provides financing to the Company which can be increased, subject to certain conditions and through an additional commitment, to up to $1.0 billion.

The $875.0 million Credit Facility includes a $525.0 million term loan facility and a $350.0 million revolving credit facility. Loans under the Credit Facility will be priced at their applicable rate plus 160 to 220 basis points, based upon the Company's current leverage. To the extent that the Company or, upon the consummation of the Merger, ARCP receives an investment grade credit rating from a major credit rating agency, borrowings under the facility will be priced at the applicable rate plus 115 to 200 basis points, accordingly, based upon the Company's or ARCP's, as applicable, then current leverage. The Company or ARCP will have the ability to make fixed rate borrowings under this facility as well.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

The Company and ARCP are considered to be entities under common control. Both entities' advisors are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Sponsor. The Sponsor and its related parties have significant ownership interests in the Company and ARCP through the ownership of shares of common stock and other equity interests. In addition, the advisors of both entities are contractually eligible to charge significant fees for their services to both of the companies, including asset management fees, incentive fees and other fees. Due to the significance of these fees, the advisors and ultimately the Sponsor was determined to have a significant economic interest in both companies in addition to having the power to direct the activities of the companies through the advisory/management agreements, which qualified them as affiliated companies under common control in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The acquisition of an entity under common control is accounted for on the carryover basis of accounting whereby the assets and liabilities of the companies are recorded upon the merger on the same basis as they were carried by the companies on the merger date.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting and Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considered factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Development Stage Company

On August 10, 2011, the Company raised proceeds sufficient to break escrow in connection with its IPO. The Company received and accepted aggregate subscriptions in excess of the minimum $2.0 million and issued shares of common stock to its initial investors who were admitted as stockholders. The Company purchased its first property and commenced active operations on September 27, 2011, and as of such date was no longer considered to be a development stage company.

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. Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue recognition, purchase price allocations to record investments in real estate, real estate taxes and derivative financial instruments and hedging activities, as applicable.

Real Estate Investments

Investments in real estate are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements, five years for fixtures and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012

The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of the Company's properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to the Company's investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because if the Company were to shorten the expected useful lives of the Company's investments in real estate, the Company would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis.

The Company is required to present the operations related to properties that have been sold or properties that are intended to be sold as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented. Properties that are intended to be sold are to be designated as "held for sale" on the balance sheet.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the asset for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property's use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists, due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss is the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as-if vacant basis. The Company utilizes various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Estimates of value are made using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Amounts allocated to land, land improvements, buildings and fixtures are based on cost segregation studies performed by independent third parties or on the Company's analysis of comparable properties in the Company's portfolio. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, as applicable, include amounts allocated to acquire leases for above- and below-market lease rates, the value of in-place leases, and the value of customer relationships, as applicable.

The aggregate value of intangible assets and liabilities, as applicable, related to in-place leases is primarily the difference between the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and the property valued as if vacant. Factors considered in the analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period for each property, taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up period, which typically ranges from six to 12 months. Estimates of costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses are also utilized.

Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for owned properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and management's estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease intangibles are amortized as a decrease to rental income over the remaining term of the lease. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining term and any fixed rate renewal periods provided within the respective leases. In determining the amortization period for below-market lease intangibles, the Company initially will consider, and periodically evaluate on a quarterly basis, the likelihood that a lessee will execute the renewal option. The likelihood that a lessee will execute the renewal option is determined by taking into consideration the tenant's payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012

The aggregate value of intangibles assets related to customer relationships, as applicable, is measured based on the Company's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease and the Company's overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics considered in determining these values include the nature and extent of its existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant's credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.

The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the initial term of the respective leases, which range primarily from 6 to 25 years. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles is charged to expense.

In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilized a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. The Company also considered information obtained about each property as a result of the Company's pre-acquisition due diligence, as well as subsequent marketing and leasing activities, in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed.

Intangible assets and acquired lease liabilities, as applicable, consisted of following:

	December 31,
(In thousands)	2012		2011
Intangible assets:
In-place leases, net of accumulated amortization of $5,939 and $85 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively	$	177,880	$	10,648

The following table provides the weighted-average amortization and accretion periods as of December 31, 2012, for intangible assets and liabilities, as applicable, and the projected amortization expense for the next five years:

(Dollar amounts in thousands)	Weighted- Average Amortization Period	2013		2014		2015		2016		2017
In-place leases	12.6 years	$	15,577	$	15,615	$	15,519	$	15,519	$	15,518

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts as well as investments in highly-liquid money market funds with original maturities of three months or less.

The Company deposits cash with high quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company ("FDIC") up to an insurance limit. At December 31, 2012, the Company had deposits of $154.1 million of which $152.3 million were in excess of the amount insured by the FDIC. Although the Company bears risk to amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, it does not anticipate any losses as a result.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily consists of reserves related to lease expirations as well as maintenance, structural, and debt service reserves.

Deferred Costs, Net

Deferred costs, net, consists of deferred financing costs and deferred leasing costs. Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees, and other costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity.  Costs incurred in seeking financial transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.

Deferred leasing costs, consisting primarily of lease commissions and payments made to assume existing leases, are deferred and amortized over the term of the lease.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company’s board of directors adopted a Share Repurchase Program (“SRP”) that enabled stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in limited circumstances. The SRP permitted investors to sell their shares back to the Company after they had held them for at least one year, subject to the significant conditions and limitations described below.

Prior to the time that the Company’s shares were listed on a national securities exchange and until the Company established an estimated value for the shares, the purchase price per share was dependent on the length of time investors held such shares as follows: after one year from the purchase date — the lower of $9.25 or 92.5% of the amount they actually paid for each share; after two years from the purchase date —the lower of $9.50 or 95.0% of the amount they actually paid for each share; after three years from the purchase date — the lower of $9.75 or 97.5% of the amount they actually paid for each share; and after four years from the purchase date — the lower of $10.00 or 100% of the amount they actually paid for each share (in each case, as adjusted for any stock distributions, combinations, splits and recapitalizations). The Company expected to begin establishing an estimated value for its shares based on the value of its real estate and real estate-related investments beginning 18 months after the close of the IPO. Beginning 18 months after the completion of the IPO (excluding shares of common stock issued under the DRIP), the Board of Directors would determine the value of the properties and the other assets based on such information as the Board determined appropriate, which was expected to include independent valuations of properties or of the Company as a whole, prepared by third-party service providers.

The Company was only authorized to repurchase shares pursuant to the SRP up to the value of shares issued under the DRIP and limit the amount spent to repurchase shares in a given quarter to the value of the shares issued under the DRIP in that same quarter. In addition, the board of directors may reject a request for redemption, at any time. Due to these limitations, the Company could not guarantee that it would have been able to accommodate all repurchase requests. Repurchases under the SRP by the Company were limited in any calendar year to 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior year (or 1.25% per calendar quarter).

When a stockholder requested repurchases and the repurchases were approved by the Company's board of directors, it reclassified such obligation from equity to a liability based on the settlement value of the obligation. The following table reflects

the number of shares repurchased for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. There were no repurchases requested or fulfilled during the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010.

	Number of Requests	Number of Shares	Average Price per Share
Year ended December 31, 2011	1	2,500	$	10.00
Year ended December 31, 2012	73	188,531	9.93
Cumulative repurchase requests as of December 31, 2012 (1)	74	191,031	$	9.93

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

Pursuant to the DRIP, stockholders may elect to reinvest distributions by purchasing shares of common stock in lieu of receiving cash.  No dealer manager fees or selling commissions are paid with respect to shares purchased pursuant to the DRIP.  Participants purchasing shares pursuant to the DRIP had the same rights and were treated in the same manner as if such shares were issued pursuant to the IPO. The board of directors may designate that certain cash or other distributions be excluded from the DRIP.  The Company had the right to amend any aspect of the DRIP or terminate the DRIP with ten days' notice to participants.  Shares issued under the DRIP are recorded within stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in the periods distributions are declared. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company issued 2.8 million and 28,599 shares of common stock, respectively, with a value of $26.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in each case with a par value per share of $0.01, pursuant to the DRIP.

Derivative Instruments

The Company may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. Certain of the techniques used to hedge exposure to interest rate fluctuations may also be used to protect against declines in the market value of assets that result from general trends in debt markets. The principal objective of such agreements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions.

The Company recorded all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.  The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

The accounting for subsequent changes in the fair value of these derivatives depends on whether each has been designed and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. If the Company elected not to apply hedge accounting treatment, any changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments is recognized immediately in gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. If the derivative is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that it is effective. Any ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenues, which are derived primarily from rental income, include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Since many of the Company's leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires the Company to record a receivable, and include in revenues, unbilled rent receivables that the Company will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. The Company defers the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. When the Company acquires a property, the term of existing leases is considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purposes of this calculation.

The Company continually reviews receivables related to rent and unbilled rent receivables and determine collectability by taking into consideration the tenant's payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of a receivable is in doubt, the Company records an increase in the Company's allowance for uncollectible accounts or record a direct write-off of the receivable in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

Cost recoveries from tenants are included in operating expense reimbursement in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable.

Offering and Related Costs

Offering and related costs include all expenses incurred in connection with the Company's IPO. Offering costs (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) include costs that may be paid by the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates on behalf of the Company. These costs include but are not limited to (i) legal, accounting, printing, mailing, and filing fees; (ii) escrow related fees; (iii) reimbursement of the Dealer Manager for amounts it may pay to reimburse the bona fide diligence expenses of broker-dealers; and (iv) reimbursement to the Advisor for the salaries of its employees and other costs in connection with preparing supplemental sales materials and related offering activities.  The Company is obligated to reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs paid by them on behalf of the Company, provided that the Advisor is obligated to reimburse the Company to the extent organization and offering costs (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) incurred by the Company in the IPO exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds. As a result, these costs were only a liability of the Company to the extent selling commissions, the dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs did not exceed 11.5% of the gross proceeds determined at the end of the IPO (See Note 12 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements).

Share-Based Compensation

The Company had a stock-based incentive award plan for its directors, which is accounted for under the guidance for share based payments. The expense for such awards is included in general and administrative expenses and is recognized over the vesting period or when the requirements for exercise of the award have been met (See Note 14 — Share-Based Compensation).

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with the tax year ended December 31, 2011. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders, and so long as it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

Per Share Data

Income (loss) per basic share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted income (loss) per share of common stock considers the effect of potentially dilutive instruments outstanding during such period.

Reportable Segments

The Company determined that it has one reportable segment, with activities related to investing in real estate. The Company's investments in real estate generate rental revenue and other income through the leasing of properties, which comprise 100% of total consolidated revenues. Management evaluates the operating performance of the Company's investments in real estate on an individual property level.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance that expands the existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, primarily for Level 3 measurements, which are measurements based on unobservable inputs such as the Company's own data. This guidance was largely consistent with current fair value measurement principles with few exceptions that did not result in a change in general practice. The guidance was applied prospectively and was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations as the guidance relates only to disclosure requirements.

AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL TRUST III, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance requiring entities to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in one continuous statement - referred to as the statement of comprehensive income - or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The new guidance did not change which components of comprehensive income are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income, or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. In December 2011, the FASB deferred certain provisions of this guidance related to the presentation of certain reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income, by component, in both the statement and the statement where the reclassification is presented. This guidance was applied prospectively and was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations but changed the location of the presentation of other comprehensive income to more closely associate the disclosure with net income.

In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance that allows entities to perform a qualitative analysis as the first step in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative analysis for impairment is not required. The guidance was effective for interim and annual impairment tests for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance which contains new disclosure requirements regarding the nature of and entity's rights of offset and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new disclosures are designed to make financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards and will give the financial statement users information about both gross and net exposures. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In July 2012, the FASB issued revised guidance intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendments will allow an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Note 5 — Senior Revolving Credit Facility

On July 20, 2012, the Company, through the OP, entered into a senior revolving credit facility (the "Senior Facility") in the amount of $100.0 million with RBS Citizens, N.A. ("RBS"). The Senior Facility contained an "accordion" feature to allow the Company, under certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions, to increase the aggregate commitments under the Senior Facility to a maximum of $250.0 million.

The Senior Facility is a revolving line of credit which had a term of 36 months, subject to the Company's right to a 12-month extension. The Company had the option, based upon its corporate leverage, to draw loans under the Senior Facility priced at either: (a) LIBOR, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 2.10% to 3.50%; or (b) the Base Rate, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 2.50% to 3.00%. Base Rate is defined in the Senior Facility agreement as the greater of (i) the fluctuating annual rate of interest announced from time to time by RBS as its "prime rate" or (ii) 1.0% above the federal funds effective rate. The Senior Facility included an unused fee per annum of 0.25% and 0.15%, if the unused balance of the Senior Facility exceeds or is less than 50% of the available facility, respectively.

Borrowings under the Senior Facility may be prepaid from time to time and at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of certain costs and expenses. In the event of a default, each lender has the right to terminate its obligations under the Senior Facility, and to accelerate the payment on any unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans. The Company guaranteed the obligations under the Senior Facility. The Senior Facility required the Company to meet certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios (such as specified debt to equity and debt service coverage ratios) as well as the maintenance of a minimum net worth. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants under the Senior Facility agreement.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowing under the Senior Facility. The Company incurred $0.1 million in unused fees during the year ended December 31, 2012.

On February 14, 2013, simultaneous with the Company entering into the Credit Facility, the Company terminated the Senior Facility agreement with RBS.

Note 7 — Investment Securities

At December 31, 2012, the Company had investments in redeemable preferred stock and senior notes, accounted for as debt securities, with a fair value of $41.7 million. These investments are considered available-for-sale securities and therefore increases or decreases in the fair value of these investments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of equity on the consolidated balance sheet unless the securities are considered to be permanently impaired at which time the losses would be reclassified to expense.

The following table details the unrealized gains and losses on investment securities as of December 31, 2012. The Company did not have any such investments as of December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

	December 31, 2012
	Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
Investment securities	$	41,747	$	223	$	(316	)	$	41,654

The Company's preferred stock investments are redeemable at the respective issuer's option after five years from issuance. The senior notes have a weighted-average maturity of 29.6 years and a weighted-average interest rate of 5.7% as of December 31, 2012.

Note 8 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company's derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company's potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.

The Company has preferred units and senior note investments that are traded in active markets and therefore, due to the availability of quoted market prices in active markets, classified these investments as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents information about the Company's assets and liabilities (including derivatives that are presented net) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those instruments fall (in thousands):

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets Level 1		Significant Other Observable Inputs Level 2			Significant Unobservable Inputs Level 3		Total

Investment securities	$	41,654	$	—		$	—	$	41,654

December 31, 2011
Interest rate swap	$	—	$	(98	)	$	—	$	(98	)

A review of the fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2012.

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables, accounts payable and distributions payable approximates their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the Company's remaining financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are reported below (in thousands):

		Carrying Amount at		Fair Value at		Carrying Amount at		Fair Value at
	Level	December 31, 2012		December 31, 2012		December 31, 2011		December 31, 2011
Mortgage notes payable	3	$	229,360	$	235,263	$	5,060	$	5,060

The fair value of the mortgage notes payable are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Advisor's experience with similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Note 9 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative or other purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

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

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During 2012, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $1.5 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense.

As of December 31, 2012 , the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (dollar amounts in thousands):

Interest Rate Derivative	Balance Sheet Location	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount		Fair Value
Interest Rate Swaps	Derivatives, at fair value	7	$	152,590	$	(3,830	)

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of the derivatives in a net liability position, including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements was $4.1 million. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their aggregate termination value of $4.1 million at December 31, 2012.

Note 10 — Common Stock

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had 176.9 million and 10.4 million shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, including unvested restricted shares and shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, and had received gross proceeds of $1.8 billion and $102.7 million, respectively.

In July 2011, the Company's board of directors authorized and the Company declared a distribution rate equal to a 6.60% annualized rate based on the common stock price of $10.00. The first distribution was paid in October 2011.  The Company's distributions are payable by the 5th day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month at a rate of $0.001803279 per day. The board of directors may reduce the amount of distributions paid or suspend distribution payments at any time and therefore distribution payments are not assured.

Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation or claims. There are no material legal proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company, except for the following:

Since the announcement of the Merger Agreement on December 17, 2012, one putative class action lawsuit had been filed against the Company, the OP, the members of the Company's board of directors, ARCP, ARCP OP and certain subsidiaries of ARCP in the Supreme Court for the State of New York. In February 2013, the parties agreed to a memorandum of understanding regarding settlement of all claims asserted on behalf of the alleged class of the Company's stockholders. In connection with the settlement contemplated by that memorandum of understanding, the class action and all claims asserted therein will be dismissed, subject to court approval. The proposed settlement terms required the Company to make certain additional disclosures related to the Merger, which were included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2013. The memorandum of understanding also added that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement, which will be subject to customary conditions, including confirmatory discovery and court approval following notice to the Company's stockholders. If the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the court will consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement, that the court will approve any proposed settlement, or that any eventual settlement will be under the same terms as those contemplated by the memorandum of understanding.

The Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance which the Company believes should provide coverage to the Company and its officers and directors for most or all of any costs, settlements or judgments resulting from the lawsuit.

Environmental Matters

In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations.

Note 12 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Special Limited Partner, an entity wholly owned by the Sponsor, owned 20,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock.

Fees Paid in Connection with the IPO

The Dealer Manager received fees and compensation in connection with the sale of the Company's common stock in the IPO. The Dealer Manager received a selling commission of up to 7.0% of gross offering proceeds before reallowance of commissions earned by participating broker-dealers. In addition, the Dealer Manager received up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of common stock, before reallowance to participating broker-dealers, as a dealer-manager fee. The Dealer Manager may reallow its dealer-manager fee to such participating broker-dealers, based on such factors as the volume of shares sold by respective participating broker-dealers and marketing support incurred as compared to those of other participating broker-dealers. The following table details total selling commissions and dealer manager fees incurred and payable to the Dealer Manager as of and for the years endedDecember 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands):

The Company was responsible for offering and related costs from the IPO, excluding commissions and dealer manager fees, up to a maximum of 1.5% of gross proceeds received from its IPO, measured at the end of the IPO. Offering costs in excess of the 1.5% cap as of the end of the IPO were the Advisor's responsibility. As of December 31, 2012, offering and related costs, excluding commissions and dealer manager fees, were equal to 1.5% of gross proceeds received from the IPO. As of December 31, 2012, cumulative offering costs were $196.5 million. Offering proceeds of $1.8 billion exceeded cumulative offering costs by $1.6 billion at December 31, 2012.

Fees Paid in Connection With the Operations of the Company

The Advisor received an acquisition fee of 1.0% of the contract purchase price of each acquired property and 1.0% of the amount advanced for any loan or other investment and was reimbursed for acquisition costs incurred in the process of acquiring properties, which was approximately 0.5% of the contract purchase price. In no event will the total of all acquisition fees and acquisition expenses (including any financing coordination fees) payable with respect to a particular investment exceed 4.5% of the contract purchase price. Once the proceeds from the IPO have been fully invested, the aggregate amount of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees shall not exceed 1.5% of the contract purchase price and the amount advanced for a loan or other investment, as applicable, for all the assets acquired.

If the Advisor provided services in connection with the origination or refinancing of any debt that the Company obtained and used to acquire properties or to make other permitted investments, or that is assumed, directly or indirectly, in connection with the acquisition of properties, the Company paid the Advisor a financing coordination fee equal to 0.75% of the amount available and/or outstanding under such financing, subject to certain limitations.

Until July 1, 2012, the Company paid the Advisor an asset management fee of 0.75% per annum of the cost of the Company's assets (cost includes the purchase price, acquisition expenses, capital expenditures and other customarily capitalized costs, but excludes acquisition fees) plus costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor in providing asset management services; provided, however, that the asset management fee was reduced by any amounts payable to the Property Manager as an oversight fee, such that the aggregate of the asset management fee and the oversight fee did not exceed 0.75% per annum of the cost of the Company's assets plus costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor in providing asset management services. Prior to July 1, 2012, this fee was payable in monthly installments at the discretion of the Company's board of directors in cash, common stock or restricted stock grants, or any combination thereof.

Effective July 1, 2012, the payment of asset management fees in monthly installments in cash, shares or restricted stock grants, or any combination thereof to the Advisor was eliminated. Instead, the Company issued (subject to periodic approval by the board of directors) to the Advisor performance-based restricted partnership units of the OP designated as "Class B units," which were intended to be profits interests and vest, and no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as: (x) the value of the OP's assets plus all distributions made equals or exceeds the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return thereon (the "economic hurdle"); (y) any one of the following occurs: (1) the termination of the advisory agreement by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's independent directors without cause; (2) a listing; or (3) another liquidity event; and (z) the Advisor is still providing advisory services to the Company (the "performance condition"). Such Class B units will be forfeited immediately if: (a) the advisory agreement is terminated other than by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's independent directors without cause; or (b) the advisory agreement is terminated by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's independent directors without cause before the economic hurdle has been met.

Upon being approved by the board of directors, the Class B units were issued to the Advisor quarterly in arrears pursuant to the terms of the OP agreement. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not consider achievement of the performance condition to be probable as the shareholder vote for the Merger, which would allow vesting of these Class B units, was not completed. The value of issued Class B units will be determined and expensed, when the Company deems the achievement of performance condition to be probable. The Advisor receives distributions on unvested Class B units equal to the distribution rate received on the Company's common stock. Such distributions on issued Class B units are included as general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations until the performance condition is considered probable to occur. As of December 31, 2012, 145,022 Class B units were approved by the board of directors. From January 1, 2013 to February 28, 2013, the board of directors approved, and the Company issued, 603,599 Class B units to the Company's Advisor for its asset management services provided. The performance condition related to these Class B units was satisfied upon completion of the Merger in February 2013, which resulted in $9.9 million of expense. The Class B Units were subsequently converted to OP Units which were then converted to 711,190 ARCP OP Units after application of the exchange ratio.

Unless the Company contracts with a third party, the Company pays to an affiliate of the Sponsor a property management fee of up to 2% of gross revenues from the Company's stand-alone single-tenant net leased properties and 4% of gross revenues from its multi-tenant properties, plus, in each case, market-based leasing commissions applicable to the geographic location of the property.  The Company will also reimburse the affiliate for property level expenses.  If the Company contracts directly with third parties for such services, the Company pays them customary market fees and pays the affiliated Property Manager, an oversight fee of up to 1.0% of the gross revenues of the property managed.

Unless the Company provided this 6.0% return the Advisor would not be entitled to the subordinated participation in net sale proceeds as the Company's investors would have not received a 6.0% cumulative non-compounded return on their capital contributions. No such amounts were incurred during the years endedDecember 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010. On February 28, 2013, ARCP OP entered into the Contribution and Exchange Agreement with the OP and the Special Limited Partner of the OP. The Special Limited Partner was entitled to receive certain distributions from the OP, including the aforementioned subordinated distribution of net sales proceeds resulting from an "investment liquidity event" (as defined in the agreement of limited partnership of the OP). The Merger constituted an "investment liquidity event," as a result of which the Special Limited Partner, in connection with management's successful attainment of the 6% performance hurdle and the return to the Company's stockholders of $557.3 million in addition to their initial investment, was entitled to receive a subordinated distribution of net sales proceeds from the OP. Pursuant to the Contribution and Exchange Agreement, the Special Limited Partner contributed its interest in the OP, inclusive of the subordinated distribution proceeds received together with $0.8 million in cash, to the OP in exchange for 7.6 million OP Units. Upon consummation of the Merger these OP Units were immediately converted to 7.3 million ARCP OP Units after application of the exchange ratio. In conjunction with the Merger Agreement, the Special Limited Partner agreed to a minimum one-year holding period for these OP units before converting them to shares of ARCP common stock.

The Company was obligated to pay a subordinated incentive listing distribution of 15.0%, of the amount by which the market value of all issued and outstanding common stock plus distributions exceeded the aggregate capital contributed by investors plus an amount equal to an annual 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded annual return to investors. The Advisor would not be entitled to the subordinated incentive listing fee unless investors had received an annual 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded return on their capital contributions plus the 100.0% repayment of capital committed by such investors. No such fees were incurred or paid for the years endedDecember 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010. Neither the Advisor nor any of its affiliates earned both the subordination participation in the net sales proceeds and the subordinated incentive listing distribution.

Note 13 — Economic Dependency

Under various agreements, the Company engaged the Advisor 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 issue, 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 the Advisor and its affiliates. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company will be required to find alternative providers of these services.

Note 14 — Share-Based Compensation

Stock Option Plan

The Company had a stock option plan (the "Plan") which authorized the grant of nonqualified stock options to the Company's independent directors, officers, advisors, consultants and other personnel, subject to the absolute discretion of the board of directors and the applicable limitations of the Plan. The exercise price for all stock options granted under the Plan was fixed at $10.00 per share until the termination of the IPO, and thereafter the exercise price for stock options granted to the independent directors was equal to the fair market value of a share on the last business day preceding the annual meeting of stockholders. A total of 0.5 million shares had been authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, no stock options were issued under the Plan. The Plan was terminated during February 2013.

Restricted Share Plan

The Company had an employee and director incentive restricted share plan (the "RSP"), which provided for the automatic grant of 3,000 restricted shares of common stock to each of the independent directors, without any further action by the Company's board of directors or the stockholders, on the date of initial election to the board of directors and on the date of each annual stockholder's meeting thereafter. Restricted stock issued to independent directors vests over a five-year period following the first anniversary of the date of grant in increments of 20.0% per annum. The RSP provided the Company with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to the Company's directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever had employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to the Company, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to the Company, certain consultants to the Company and the Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to the Company. The fair market value of any shares of restricted stock granted under the RSP, together with the total amount of acquisition fees, acquisition expense reimbursements, asset management fees, financing coordination fees, disposition fees and subordinated distributions by the operating partnership payable to the Advisor (or its assignees), shall not exceed (a) 6.0% of all properties' aggregate gross contract purchase price, (b) as determined annually, the greater, in the aggregate, of 2.0% of average invested assets and 25.0% of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debt or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period, (c) disposition fees, if any, of up to 3.0% of the contract sales price of all properties that we sell and (d) 15.0% of remaining net sales proceeds after return of capital contributions plus payment to investors of a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded return on the capital contributed by investors. Additionally, the total number of shares of common stock granted under the RSP will not exceed 5.0% of the Company's authorized shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis at any time.

Restricted share awards entitled the recipient to receive shares of common stock from the Company under terms that provided for vesting over a specified period of time or upon attainment of pre-established performance objectives. Such awards would typically be forfeited with respect to the unvested shares upon the termination of the recipient's employment or other relationship with the Company. Restricted shares may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until the restrictions are removed and the shares have vested. Holders of restricted shares may receive cash distributions prior to the time that the restrictions on the restricted shares have lapsed. Any distributions payable in shares of common stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares. The following table reflects restricted share award activity for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

	Number of Common Shares			Weighted-Average Issue Price
Unvested, January 1, 2011	—		—	$	—
Granted	6,000		0.01	10.00
Unvested, December 31, 2011	6,000			10.00

Forfeitures	(3,000	)		10.00
Unvested, December 31, 2012	17,400			$	9.48

The fair value of the shares, which was based on the IPO price, is being expensed over the vesting period of five years. Adjusted for the timing of board member resignations, compensation expense related to restricted stock was $21,000 and $9,000 during the years endedDecember 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There were no restricted shares issued during the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010. Upon consummation of the Merger, the vesting of certain shares of Company restricted stock was accelerated. The RSP was terminated during February 2013.

Exhibit 99.2

American Realty Capital Properties, Inc.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

On December 14, 2012, American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (“the Company” or “ARCP”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with American Realty Capital Trust III, Inc. (“ARCT III”), a Maryland corporation, and certain subsidiaries of each company. The Merger Agreement provided for the merger of ARCT III with and into a subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The Merger was completed on February 28, 2013.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of ARCT III was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.95 of a share of the Company's common stock or (ii) $12.00 in cash, but in no event would the aggregate cash consideration be paid on more than 30% of the shares of ARCT III's common stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Merger. In addition, each outstanding unit of equity ownership of the ARCT III operating partnership (“ARCT III OP”) was converted into the right to receive 0.95 of the same class of unit of equity ownership in the Company's operating partnership (the “ARCP OP”). Upon the closing of the Merger on February 28, 2013, 29.2 million shares of ARCT III common stock, or 16.5% of the then outstanding common stock, elected to be paid in cash at $12.00 per share. In addition, 148.2 million shares of ARCT III common stock converted to ARCP shares of common stock at the exchange ratio of 0.95 of a share, resulting in an additional 140.7 million shares of ARCP common stock outstanding after the exchange.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, American Realty Capital Trust III Special Limited Partner, LLC (the “Special Limited Partner”), an affiliate of the AR Capital, LLC, the Company's sponsor (the “Sponsor”), and ARC Properties Advisors, LLC, the Company's external manager (the “Manager”), in connection with management's successful attainment of the 6 % performance hurdle and the return to ARCT III's stockholders of $557.3 million in addition to their initial investment, was entitled to subordinated distributions of net sales proceeds from the ARCT III OP in an amount equal to approximately $98.4 million (the “Subordinated Distribution Amount”). Pursuant to a Contribution and Exchange Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2013 (the “Contribution and Exchange Agreement”), between the ARCT III OP, the ARCP OP and the Special Limited Partner, the Special Limited Partner contributed its special limited partnership interest in the ARCT III OP (with a value equal to the Subordinated Distribution Amount), together with $750,000 in cash, to the ARCT III OP in exchange for an amount of common units of equity ownership of the ARCT III OP (“ARCT III OP Units”) equivalent to 7,318,356 common units of equity ownership of the ARCP OP (“ARCP OP Units”), which were automatically converted into such ARCP OP common units upon consummation of the Merger. The parties have agreed that such ARCP OP Units will be subject to a minimum one-year holding period before being exchangeable into the Company's common stock.

Upon consummation of the Merger, the vesting of the outstanding shares of restricted stock of each of the Company and ARCT III was accelerated.

In connection with the Merger, the Company also has entered into an agreement with the Sponsor and its affiliates to internalize certain functions performed by them prior to the Merger including acquisition, accounting and portfolio management services (the “Internalization”). In connection with the Internalization, (i) the Company and its Sponsor have agreed to terminate the acquisition and capital services agreement dated September 6, 2011, between the two parties, which will eliminate acquisition and financing fees payable by the Company (except with respect to certain enumerated properties that were in the Company's pipeline at the time it entered into the Merger Agreement) and (ii) the Manager agreed to reduce asset management fees from an annualized 0.50% of the unadjusted book value of all of the Company's assets to 0.50% for up to $3.0 billion of unadjusted book value of assets and 0.40% of unadjusted book value of assets greater than $3.0 billion. In addition, the Company agreed to pay $5.8 million for certain furniture, fixtures, equipment, other assets and certain costs associated with the Merger.

On February 14, 2013, ARCT III entered into an $875.0 million unsecured credit facility, which was increased to $1.0 billion on February 28, 2013, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association acting as administrative agent (the “New Credit Facility”), which the Company assumed as of the consummation of the Merger. Capital One, N.A. and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. will participate as documentation agents and RBS Citizens, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and Regions Bank will act as syndication agents for the New Credit Facility.

The $1.0 billion unsecured New Credit Facility includes a $600.0 million term loan facility and a $400.0 million revolving credit facility. Loans under the New Credit Facility will be priced at their applicable rate plus 160 to 220 basis points, based upon the Company's current leverage. The Company will have the ability to make fixed rate borrowings under this facility as well.

ARCT III and ARCP are considered to be entities under common control. Both entities’ advisors are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Sponsor of ARCP and ARCT III and its related parties have significant ownership interests in ARCP through the ownership of shares of common stock and other equity interests. In addition, the advisors of both companies are contractually eligible to charge significant fees for their services to both of the companies including asset management fees, fees for the arrangement of financing and incentive fees and other fees. Due to the significance of these fees, the advisors and ultimately the sponsor is determined to have a significant economic interest in both companies in addition to having the power to direct the activities of the companies through advisory agreement, which qualifies them as affiliated companies under common control in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The acquisition of an entity under common control is accounted for on the carryover basis of accounting whereby the assets and liabilities of the companies are recorded upon the Merger on the same basis as they were carried by the companies on the Merger date.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented as if ARCT III and ARCP had merged in a stock/cash exchange transaction as of December 31, 2012, and the unaudited pro forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations is presented as if ARCT III and ARCP had merged as of January 1, 2012.

This financial statement should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical financial statements and notes thereto in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2013 and ARCT III's historical financial statements and notes thereto filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The pro forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations along with the notes thereto are unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual financial position would have been had ARCT III and ARCP merged as of December 31, 2012, nor does it purport to present the future financial position of the Company.

American Realty Capital Properties, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations

(1)	Reflects the historical Statement of Operations of ARCT III for the period indicated. Certain balances have been reclassified to confirm to current presentation.
(2)	Reflects the historical Statement of Operations of ARCP for the period indicated.
(3)	Adjustments reflect the annualization of certain income and expense items for property acquisitions made in 2011 and up to December 31, 2012 as if they were made at the beginning of each period.
(4)	Adjustments and pro forma balances reflect income and expenses related to properties intended to be acquired by ARCP and ARCT as if they had been acquired as of the beginning of the period with related financing thereon. All properties intended to be acquired are net leased properties whereby the tenant is responsible for all operating expenses of the property.
(5)	Adjustments and pro forma balances based on the offering of 0.95 shares of the Company's common stock for every share of ARCT III's common stock in addition to other arrangements made with the Company's advisor in conjunction with the Merger.
(6)	Rental income, operating expense reimbursements and property operating expense adjustments reflect income and expenses for properties as if all properties were acquired during the period by the Company and ARCT III were acquired at the beginning of the period.
(7)	Depreciation and amortization expense adjustment reflects the expense that would have been recorded if all properties acquired by the Company and ARCT III during each period had been acquired as of the beginning of each period.
(8)	Interest expense adjustment reflects the expense that would have been recognized had the properties acquired for which the funding was used by the Company and ARCT III during each period had been acquired as of the beginning of each period. Amounts were calculated based on ending period debt balances and average interest rates for lines of credit and mortgage loans.
(9)	Non-controlling interest adjustment reflects interests of operating partnership unit holders including those issued to the sponsor of ARCT III in conjunction with the Merger.
(10)	Acquisition related adjustment relates to contractual charges from the Manager and ARCT III's advisor for property acquisitions, which will no longer be charged in accordance with the revised management agreement.
(11)	Adjustment related to fees incurred for the Merger which will not be incurred in future operations. Adjustment does not include approximately $98.4 million of incentive distributions to be paid indirectly to ARCT III's sponsor in conjunction with the Merger, which are to be paid in ARCP OP Units, $0.2 million of asset management fees paid to the ARCT III advisor that will be paid in conjunction with the Merger as certain performance requirements had been met on that date, $8.0 million of asset management fees which were issued to the ARCT III advisor in the form of ARCP OP Units subsequent to December 31, 2012 which were also paid on the Merger date, and $23.0 million of estimated Merger related costs mainly related to investment banker, legal, proxy solicitation and accounting fees.
(12)	Fees to affiliate adjustment related to contractual asset management fee of 0.50% of real estate held up to total real estate held of $3.0 billion when the fee decreases to 0.40% of real estate held of more than $3.0 billion.
(13)	General and administrative expenses exclude certain costs such as salary and benefits for certain property acquisition, accounting and property management personnel which will be borne by ARCP after the Merger as well as certain additional costs that may be incurred to manage a larger public company such as legal, accounting, insurance and other costs. Total general and administrative expenses are expected to increase approximately $1.0 million annually.
(14)	Interest expense adjustment reflects interest on an additional $350.7 million borrowing on ARCP's New Credit Facility at the expected interest rate of 2.60% reflecting the repurchase of 29.2 million shares of ARCT III's common stock at $12.00 per share as provided for in the Merger Agreement. The Company has obtained a facility that permits borrowing of up to $1.0 billion for the funding of such share purchases and other corporate debts. This amount is partially offset by a reduction of interest expense for the refinancing of $124.6 million of secured revolving debt at an average interest rate of 3.11% with funds from the New Credit Facility.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting and Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considered factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Development Stage Company

On August 10, 2011, the Company raised proceeds sufficient to break escrow in connection with its IPO. The Company received and accepted aggregate subscriptions in excess of the minimum $2.0 million and issued shares of common stock to its initial investors who were admitted as stockholders. The Company purchased its first property and commenced active operations on September 27, 2011, and as of such date was no longer considered to be a development stage company.

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. Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue recognition, purchase price allocations to record investments in real estate, real estate taxes and derivative financial instruments and hedging activities, as applicable.

Real Estate Investments

Investments in real estate are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements, five years for fixtures and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of the Company's properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to the Company's investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because if the Company were to shorten the expected useful lives of the Company's investments in real estate, the Company would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis.

The Company is required to present the operations related to properties that have been sold or properties that are intended to be sold as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented. Properties that are intended to be sold are to be designated as "held for sale" on the balance sheet.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the asset for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property's use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists, due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss is the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as-if vacant basis. The Company utilizes various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Estimates of value are made using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Amounts allocated to land, land improvements, buildings and fixtures are based on cost segregation studies performed by independent third parties or on the Company's analysis of comparable properties in the Company's portfolio. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, as applicable, include amounts allocated to acquire leases for above- and below-market lease rates, the value of in-place leases, and the value of customer relationships, as applicable.

The aggregate value of intangible assets and liabilities, as applicable, related to in-place leases is primarily the difference between the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and the property valued as if vacant. Factors considered in the analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period for each property, taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up period, which typically ranges from six to 12 months. Estimates of costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses are also utilized.

Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for owned properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and management's estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease intangibles are amortized as a decrease to rental income over the remaining term of the lease. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining term and any fixed rate renewal periods provided within the respective leases. In determining the amortization period for below-market lease intangibles, the Company initially will consider, and periodically evaluate on a quarterly basis, the likelihood that a lessee will execute the renewal option. The likelihood that a lessee will execute the renewal option is determined by taking into consideration the tenant's payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located.

The aggregate value of intangibles assets related to customer relationships, as applicable, is measured based on the Company's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease and the Company's overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics considered in determining these values include the nature and extent of its existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant's credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.

The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the initial term of the respective leases, which range primarily from 6 to 25 years. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles is charged to expense.

In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilized a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. The Company also considered information obtained about each property as a result of the Company's pre-acquisition due diligence, as well as subsequent marketing and leasing activities, in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed.

Intangible assets and acquired lease liabilities, as applicable, consisted of following:

	December 31,
(In thousands)	2012		2011
Intangible assets:
In-place leases, net of accumulated amortization of $5,939 and $85 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively	$	177,880	$	10,648

The following table provides the weighted-average amortization and accretion periods as of December 31, 2012, for intangible assets and liabilities, as applicable, and the projected amortization expense for the next five years:

(Dollar amounts in thousands)	Weighted- Average Amortization Period	2013		2014		2015		2016		2017
In-place leases	12.6 years	$	15,577	$	15,615	$	15,519	$	15,519	$	15,518

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts as well as investments in highly-liquid money market funds with original maturities of three months or less.

The Company deposits cash with high quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company ("FDIC") up to an insurance limit. At December 31, 2012, the Company had deposits of $154.1 million of which $152.3 million were in excess of the amount insured by the FDIC. Although the Company bears risk to amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, it does not anticipate any losses as a result.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily consists of reserves related to lease expirations as well as maintenance, structural, and debt service reserves.

Deferred Costs, Net

Deferred costs, net, consists of deferred financing costs and deferred leasing costs. Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees, and other costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity.  Costs incurred in seeking financial transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.

Deferred leasing costs, consisting primarily of lease commissions and payments made to assume existing leases, are deferred and amortized over the term of the lease.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company’s board of directors adopted a Share Repurchase Program (“SRP”) that enabled stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in limited circumstances. The SRP permitted investors to sell their shares back to the Company after they had held them for at least one year, subject to the significant conditions and limitations described below.

Prior to the time that the Company’s shares were listed on a national securities exchange and until the Company established an estimated value for the shares, the purchase price per share was dependent on the length of time investors held such shares as follows: after one year from the purchase date — the lower of $9.25 or 92.5% of the amount they actually paid for each share; after two years from the purchase date —the lower of $9.50 or 95.0% of the amount they actually paid for each share; after three years from the purchase date — the lower of $9.75 or 97.5% of the amount they actually paid for each share; and after four years from the purchase date — the lower of $10.00 or 100% of the amount they actually paid for each share (in each case, as adjusted for any stock distributions, combinations, splits and recapitalizations). The Company expected to begin establishing an estimated value for its shares based on the value of its real estate and real estate-related investments beginning 18 months after the close of the IPO. Beginning 18 months after the completion of the IPO (excluding shares of common stock issued under the DRIP), the Board of Directors would determine the value of the properties and the other assets based on such information as the Board determined appropriate, which was expected to include independent valuations of properties or of the Company as a whole, prepared by third-party service providers.

The Company was only authorized to repurchase shares pursuant to the SRP up to the value of shares issued under the DRIP and limit the amount spent to repurchase shares in a given quarter to the value of the shares issued under the DRIP in that same quarter. In addition, the board of directors may reject a request for redemption, at any time. Due to these limitations, the Company could not guarantee that it would have been able to accommodate all repurchase requests. Repurchases under the SRP by the Company were limited in any calendar year to 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior year (or 1.25% per calendar quarter).

When a stockholder requested repurchases and the repurchases were approved by the Company's board of directors, it reclassified such obligation from equity to a liability based on the settlement value of the obligation. The following table reflects

the number of shares repurchased for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. There were no repurchases requested or fulfilled during the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010.

	Number of Requests	Number of Shares	Average Price per Share
Year ended December 31, 2011	1	2,500	$	10.00
Year ended December 31, 2012	73	188,531	9.93
Cumulative repurchase requests as of December 31, 2012 (1)	74	191,031	$	9.93

_____________________________

(1) Includes unfulfilled repurchase requests for 37,032 shares at a average price per share of $9.86, which were approved for repurchase as of December 31, 2012.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

Pursuant to the DRIP, stockholders may elect to reinvest distributions by purchasing shares of common stock in lieu of receiving cash.  No dealer manager fees or selling commissions are paid with respect to shares purchased pursuant to the DRIP.  Participants purchasing shares pursuant to the DRIP had the same rights and were treated in the same manner as if such shares were issued pursuant to the IPO. The board of directors may designate that certain cash or other distributions be excluded from the DRIP.  The Company had the right to amend any aspect of the DRIP or terminate the DRIP with ten days' notice to participants.  Shares issued under the DRIP are recorded within stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in the periods distributions are declared. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company issued 2.8 million and 28,599 shares of common stock, respectively, with a value of $26.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in each case with a par value per share of $0.01, pursuant to the DRIP.

Derivative Instruments

The Company may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. Certain of the techniques used to hedge exposure to interest rate fluctuations may also be used to protect against declines in the market value of assets that result from general trends in debt markets. The principal objective of such agreements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions.

The Company recorded all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.  The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

The accounting for subsequent changes in the fair value of these derivatives depends on whether each has been designed and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. If the Company elected not to apply hedge accounting treatment, any changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments is recognized immediately in gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. If the derivative is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that it is effective. Any ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenues, which are derived primarily from rental income, include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Since many of the Company's leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires the Company to record a receivable, and include in revenues, unbilled rent receivables that the Company will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. The Company defers the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. When the Company acquires a property, the term of existing leases is considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purposes of this calculation.

The Company continually reviews receivables related to rent and unbilled rent receivables and determine collectability by taking into consideration the tenant's payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of a receivable is in doubt, the Company records an increase in the Company's allowance for uncollectible accounts or record a direct write-off of the receivable in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

Cost recoveries from tenants are included in operating expense reimbursement in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable.

Offering and Related Costs

Offering and related costs include all expenses incurred in connection with the Company's IPO. Offering costs (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) include costs that may be paid by the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates on behalf of the Company. These costs include but are not limited to (i) legal, accounting, printing, mailing, and filing fees; (ii) escrow related fees; (iii) reimbursement of the Dealer Manager for amounts it may pay to reimburse the bona fide diligence expenses of broker-dealers; and (iv) reimbursement to the Advisor for the salaries of its employees and other costs in connection with preparing supplemental sales materials and related offering activities.  The Company is obligated to reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs paid by them on behalf of the Company, provided that the Advisor is obligated to reimburse the Company to the extent organization and offering costs (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) incurred by the Company in the IPO exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds. As a result, these costs were only a liability of the Company to the extent selling commissions, the dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs did not exceed 11.5% of the gross proceeds determined at the end of the IPO (See Note 12 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements).

Share-Based Compensation

The Company had a stock-based incentive award plan for its directors, which is accounted for under the guidance for share based payments. The expense for such awards is included in general and administrative expenses and is recognized over the vesting period or when the requirements for exercise of the award have been met (See Note 14 — Share-Based Compensation).

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with the tax year ended December 31, 2011. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders, and so long as it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

Per Share Data

Income (loss) per basic share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted income (loss) per share of common stock considers the effect of potentially dilutive instruments outstanding during such period.

Reportable Segments

The Company determined that it has one reportable segment, with activities related to investing in real estate. The Company's investments in real estate generate rental revenue and other income through the leasing of properties, which comprise 100% of total consolidated revenues. Management evaluates the operating performance of the Company's investments in real estate on an individual property level.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance that expands the existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, primarily for Level 3 measurements, which are measurements based on unobservable inputs such as the Company's own data. This guidance was largely consistent with current fair value measurement principles with few exceptions that did not result in a change in general practice. The guidance was applied prospectively and was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations as the guidance relates only to disclosure requirements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance requiring entities to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in one continuous statement - referred to as the statement of comprehensive income - or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The new guidance did not change which components of comprehensive income are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income, or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. In December 2011, the FASB deferred certain provisions of this guidance related to the presentation of certain reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income, by component, in both the statement and the statement where the reclassification is presented. This guidance was applied prospectively and was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations but changed the location of the presentation of other comprehensive income to more closely associate the disclosure with net income.

In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance that allows entities to perform a qualitative analysis as the first step in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative analysis for impairment is not required. The guidance was effective for interim and annual impairment tests for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance which contains new disclosure requirements regarding the nature of and entity's rights of offset and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new disclosures are designed to make financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards and will give the financial statement users information about both gross and net exposures. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In July 2012, the FASB issued revised guidance intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendments will allow an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Merger Agreement

Merger Agreement [Abstract]

Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block]

Merger Agreement

On December 14, 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with American Realty Capital Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("ARCP"), and certain subsidiaries of each company. The Merger Agreement provided for the merger of the Company with and into a subsidiary of ARCP (the "Merger"). The Merger was completed on February 28, 2013.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of the Company was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.95 of a share of ARCP common stock or (ii) $12.00 in cash, but in no event was the aggregate consideration paid in cash, be paid on more than 30% of the shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Merger ("Merger Consideration"). In addition, each outstanding unit of equity ownership of the OP was converted into the right to receive 0.95 of the same class of unit of equity ownership in ARC Properties Operating Partnership, L.P. ("ARCP OP"). Upon closing of the Merger on February 28, 2013, 29.2 million shares, or 16.5% of the then outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, elected to be paid in cash at $12.00 per share. In addition, 148.2 million shares of the Company's common stock converted to ARCP shares of common stock at the exchange ratio of 0.95 of a share.

On February 28, 2013, ARCP OP entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement (the "Contribution and Exchange Agreement") with the OP and the Special Limited Partner of the OP. The Special Limited Partner was entitled to receive certain distributions from the OP, including the subordinated distribution of net sales proceeds resulting from an "investment liquidity event" (as defined in the agreement of limited partnership of the OP). The Merger constituted an "investment liquidity event," as a result of which the Special Limited Partner, in connection with management's successful attainment of the 6% performance hurdle and the return to the Company's stockholders of $557.3 million in addition to their initial investment, was entitled to receive a subordinated distribution of net sales proceeds from the OP. Pursuant to the Contribution and Exchange Agreement, the Special Limited Partner contributed its interest in the OP, inclusive of the subordinated distribution proceeds received together with $0.8 million in cash, to the OP in exchange for 7.6 million OP Units. Upon consummation of the Merger these OP Units were immediately converted to 7.3 million units of equity ownership of ARCP OP ("ARCP OP Units") after application of the exchange ratio. In conjunction with the Merger Agreement, the Special Limited Partner agreed to a minimum one-year holding period for these OP units before converting them to shares of ARCP common stock.

Upon consummation of the Merger, the vesting of certain shares of Company restricted stock was accelerated.

Credit Facility

On February 14, 2013, the Company entered into an $875.0 million unsecured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association acting as administrative agent (the "Credit Facility"), which ARCP will assume as of the consummation of the Merger. Capital One, N.A. and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. will participate as documentation agents and RBS Citizens, N.A. and Regions Bank will act as syndication agents for the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility provides financing to the Company which can be increased, subject to certain conditions and through an additional commitment, to up to $1.0 billion.

The $875.0 million Credit Facility includes a $525.0 million term loan facility and a $350.0 million revolving credit facility. Loans under the Credit Facility will be priced at their applicable rate plus 160 to 220 basis points, based upon the Company's current leverage. To the extent that the Company or, upon the consummation of the Merger, ARCP receives an investment grade credit rating from a major credit rating agency, borrowings under the facility will be priced at the applicable rate plus 115 to 200 basis points, accordingly, based upon the Company's or ARCP's, as applicable, then current leverage. The Company or ARCP will have the ability to make fixed rate borrowings under this facility as well.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

The Company and ARCP are considered to be entities under common control. Both entities' advisors are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Sponsor. The Sponsor and its related parties have significant ownership interests in the Company and ARCP through the ownership of shares of common stock and other equity interests. In addition, the advisors of both entities are contractually eligible to charge significant fees for their services to both of the companies, including asset management fees, incentive fees and other fees. Due to the significance of these fees, the advisors and ultimately the Sponsor was determined to have a significant economic interest in both companies in addition to having the power to direct the activities of the companies through the advisory/management agreements, which qualified them as affiliated companies under common control in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The acquisition of an entity under common control is accounted for on the carryover basis of accounting whereby the assets and liabilities of the companies are recorded upon the merger on the same basis as they were carried by the companies on the merger date.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Dec. 31, 2012

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Accounting and Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considered factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Development Stage Company [Policy Text Block]

Development Stage Company

On August 10, 2011, the Company raised proceeds sufficient to break escrow in connection with its IPO. The Company received and accepted aggregate subscriptions in excess of the minimum $2.0 million and issued shares of common stock to its initial investors who were admitted as stockholders. The Company purchased its first property and commenced active operations on September 27, 2011, and as of such date was no longer considered to be a development stage company.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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. Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue recognition, purchase price allocations to record investments in real estate, real estate taxes and derivative financial instruments and hedging activities, as applicable.

Real Estate, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Real Estate Investments

Investments in real estate are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements, five years for fixtures and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of the Company's properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to the Company's investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because if the Company were to shorten the expected useful lives of the Company's investments in real estate, the Company would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis.

The Company is required to present the operations related to properties that have been sold or properties that are intended to be sold as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented. Properties that are intended to be sold are to be designated as "held for sale" on the balance sheet.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the asset for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property's use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists, due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss is the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income.

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets [Policy Text Block]

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as-if vacant basis. The Company utilizes various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Estimates of value are made using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Amounts allocated to land, land improvements, buildings and fixtures are based on cost segregation studies performed by independent third parties or on the Company's analysis of comparable properties in the Company's portfolio. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, as applicable, include amounts allocated to acquire leases for above- and below-market lease rates, the value of in-place leases, and the value of customer relationships, as applicable.

The aggregate value of intangible assets and liabilities, as applicable, related to in-place leases is primarily the difference between the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and the property valued as if vacant. Factors considered in the analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period for each property, taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up period, which typically ranges from six to 12 months. Estimates of costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses are also utilized.

Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for owned properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and management's estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease intangibles are amortized as a decrease to rental income over the remaining term of the lease. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining term and any fixed rate renewal periods provided within the respective leases. In determining the amortization period for below-market lease intangibles, the Company initially will consider, and periodically evaluate on a quarterly basis, the likelihood that a lessee will execute the renewal option. The likelihood that a lessee will execute the renewal option is determined by taking into consideration the tenant's payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located.

The aggregate value of intangibles assets related to customer relationships, as applicable, is measured based on the Company's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease and the Company's overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics considered in determining these values include the nature and extent of its existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant's credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.

The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the initial term of the respective leases, which range primarily from 6 to 25 years. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles is charged to expense.

In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilized a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. The Company also considered information obtained about each property as a result of the Company's pre-acquisition due diligence, as well as subsequent marketing and leasing activities, in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed.

Intangible assets and acquired lease liabilities, as applicable, consisted of following:

	December 31,
(In thousands)	2012		2011
Intangible assets:
In-place leases, net of accumulated amortization of $5,939 and $85 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively	$	177,880	$	10,648

The following table provides the weighted-average amortization and accretion periods as of December 31, 2012, for intangible assets and liabilities, as applicable, and the projected amortization expense for the next five years:

(Dollar amounts in thousands)	Weighted- Average Amortization Period	2013		2014		2015		2016		2017
In-place leases	12.6 years	$	15,577	$	15,615	$	15,519	$	15,519	$	15,518

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts as well as investments in highly-liquid money market funds with original maturities of three months or less.

The Company deposits cash with high quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company ("FDIC") up to an insurance limit. At December 31, 2012, the Company had deposits of $154.1 million of which $152.3 million were in excess of the amount insured by the FDIC. Although the Company bears risk to amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, it does not anticipate any losses as a result.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily consists of reserves related to lease expirations as well as maintenance, structural, and debt service reserves.

Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Deferred Costs, Net

Deferred costs, net, consists of deferred financing costs and deferred leasing costs. Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees, and other costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity.  Costs incurred in seeking financial transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.

Deferred leasing costs, consisting primarily of lease commissions and payments made to assume existing leases, are deferred and amortized over the term of the lease.

Share Repurchase Program [Policy Text Block]

Share Repurchase Program

The Company’s board of directors adopted a Share Repurchase Program (“SRP”) that enabled stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in limited circumstances. The SRP permitted investors to sell their shares back to the Company after they had held them for at least one year, subject to the significant conditions and limitations described below.

Prior to the time that the Company’s shares were listed on a national securities exchange and until the Company established an estimated value for the shares, the purchase price per share was dependent on the length of time investors held such shares as follows: after one year from the purchase date — the lower of $9.25 or 92.5% of the amount they actually paid for each share; after two years from the purchase date —the lower of $9.50 or 95.0% of the amount they actually paid for each share; after three years from the purchase date — the lower of $9.75 or 97.5% of the amount they actually paid for each share; and after four years from the purchase date — the lower of $10.00 or 100% of the amount they actually paid for each share (in each case, as adjusted for any stock distributions, combinations, splits and recapitalizations). The Company expected to begin establishing an estimated value for its shares based on the value of its real estate and real estate-related investments beginning 18 months after the close of the IPO. Beginning 18 months after the completion of the IPO (excluding shares of common stock issued under the DRIP), the Board of Directors would determine the value of the properties and the other assets based on such information as the Board determined appropriate, which was expected to include independent valuations of properties or of the Company as a whole, prepared by third-party service providers.

The Company was only authorized to repurchase shares pursuant to the SRP up to the value of shares issued under the DRIP and limit the amount spent to repurchase shares in a given quarter to the value of the shares issued under the DRIP in that same quarter. In addition, the board of directors may reject a request for redemption, at any time. Due to these limitations, the Company could not guarantee that it would have been able to accommodate all repurchase requests. Repurchases under the SRP by the Company were limited in any calendar year to 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior year (or 1.25% per calendar quarter).

When a stockholder requested repurchases and the repurchases were approved by the Company's board of directors, it reclassified such obligation from equity to a liability based on the settlement value of the obligation. The following table reflects

the number of shares repurchased for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. There were no repurchases requested or fulfilled during the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010.

	Number of Requests	Number of Shares	Average Price per Share
Year ended December 31, 2011	1	2,500	$	10.00
Year ended December 31, 2012	73	188,531	9.93
Cumulative repurchase requests as of December 31, 2012 (1)	74	191,031	$	9.93

_____________________________

(1) Includes unfulfilled repurchase requests for 37,032 shares at a average price per share of $9.86, which were approved for repurchase as of December 31, 2012.

Distribution reinvestment Plan, policy [Policy Text Block]

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

Pursuant to the DRIP, stockholders may elect to reinvest distributions by purchasing shares of common stock in lieu of receiving cash.  No dealer manager fees or selling commissions are paid with respect to shares purchased pursuant to the DRIP.  Participants purchasing shares pursuant to the DRIP had the same rights and were treated in the same manner as if such shares were issued pursuant to the IPO. The board of directors may designate that certain cash or other distributions be excluded from the DRIP.  The Company had the right to amend any aspect of the DRIP or terminate the DRIP with ten days' notice to participants.  Shares issued under the DRIP are recorded within stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in the periods distributions are declared. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company issued 2.8 million and 28,599 shares of common stock, respectively, with a value of $26.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in each case with a par value per share of $0.01, pursuant to the DRIP.

Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Derivative Instruments

The Company may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. Certain of the techniques used to hedge exposure to interest rate fluctuations may also be used to protect against declines in the market value of assets that result from general trends in debt markets. The principal objective of such agreements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions.

The Company recorded all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.  The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

The accounting for subsequent changes in the fair value of these derivatives depends on whether each has been designed and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. If the Company elected not to apply hedge accounting treatment, any changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments is recognized immediately in gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. If the derivative is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that it is effective. Any ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenues, which are derived primarily from rental income, include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Since many of the Company's leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires the Company to record a receivable, and include in revenues, unbilled rent receivables that the Company will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. The Company defers the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. When the Company acquires a property, the term of existing leases is considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purposes of this calculation.

The Company continually reviews receivables related to rent and unbilled rent receivables and determine collectability by taking into consideration the tenant's payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of a receivable is in doubt, the Company records an increase in the Company's allowance for uncollectible accounts or record a direct write-off of the receivable in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

Cost recoveries from tenants are included in operating expense reimbursement in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable.

Offering and Related Costs Policy [Policy Text Block]

Offering and Related Costs

Offering and related costs include all expenses incurred in connection with the Company's IPO. Offering costs (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) include costs that may be paid by the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates on behalf of the Company. These costs include but are not limited to (i) legal, accounting, printing, mailing, and filing fees; (ii) escrow related fees; (iii) reimbursement of the Dealer Manager for amounts it may pay to reimburse the bona fide diligence expenses of broker-dealers; and (iv) reimbursement to the Advisor for the salaries of its employees and other costs in connection with preparing supplemental sales materials and related offering activities.  The Company is obligated to reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs paid by them on behalf of the Company, provided that the Advisor is obligated to reimburse the Company to the extent organization and offering costs (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) incurred by the Company in the IPO exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds. As a result, these costs were only a liability of the Company to the extent selling commissions, the dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs did not exceed 11.5% of the gross proceeds determined at the end of the IPO (See Note 12 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements).

Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]

Share-Based Compensation

The Company had a stock-based incentive award plan for its directors, which is accounted for under the guidance for share based payments. The expense for such awards is included in general and administrative expenses and is recognized over the vesting period or when the requirements for exercise of the award have been met (See Note 14 — Share-Based Compensation).

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with the tax year ended December 31, 2011. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders, and so long as it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Per Share Data

Income (loss) per basic share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted income (loss) per share of common stock considers the effect of potentially dilutive instruments outstanding during such period.

Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Reportable Segments

The Company determined that it has one reportable segment, with activities related to investing in real estate. The Company's investments in real estate generate rental revenue and other income through the leasing of properties, which comprise 100% of total consolidated revenues. Management evaluates the operating performance of the Company's investments in real estate on an individual property level.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance that expands the existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, primarily for Level 3 measurements, which are measurements based on unobservable inputs such as the Company's own data. This guidance was largely consistent with current fair value measurement principles with few exceptions that did not result in a change in general practice. The guidance was applied prospectively and was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations as the guidance relates only to disclosure requirements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance requiring entities to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in one continuous statement - referred to as the statement of comprehensive income - or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The new guidance did not change which components of comprehensive income are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income, or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. In December 2011, the FASB deferred certain provisions of this guidance related to the presentation of certain reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income, by component, in both the statement and the statement where the reclassification is presented. This guidance was applied prospectively and was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations but changed the location of the presentation of other comprehensive income to more closely associate the disclosure with net income.

In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance that allows entities to perform a qualitative analysis as the first step in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative analysis for impairment is not required. The guidance was effective for interim and annual impairment tests for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance which contains new disclosure requirements regarding the nature of and entity's rights of offset and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new disclosures are designed to make financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards and will give the financial statement users information about both gross and net exposures. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In July 2012, the FASB issued revised guidance intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendments will allow an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Organization

American Realty Capital Trust III, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated on October 15, 2010, as a Maryland corporation that qualified as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ended December 31, 2011. On March 31, 2011, the Company commenced its initial public offering (the "IPO") on a "reasonable best efforts" basis of up to 150.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share at a price of $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-170298) (the "Registration Statement"), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement also covered up to 25.0 million shares available pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the "DRIP") under which the Company's common stockholders were able to elect to have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company's common stock at a price initially equal to $9.50 per share, which was 95% of the offering price in the primary offering. The Company sold 20,000 shares of common stock to American Realty Capital III Special Limited Partnership, LLC (the "Special Limited Partner"), an entity wholly owned by AR Capital, LLC (the "Sponsor"), on October 20, 2010, at $10.00 per share. In August 2011, the Company had raised proceeds sufficient to break escrow in connection with the IPO.

As of August 31, 2012, the Company had issued the entire 150.0 million shares of common stock registered in connection with its IPO, plus 1.0 million shares of common stock pursuant to the DRIP, and in accordance with the Registration Statement, reallocated the remaining 24.0 million shares of common stock initially registered for issuance pursuant to the DRIP to the primary offering. In addition, on August 30, 2012, the Company registered an additional 25.0 million shares to be used under the DRIP pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-183649). On September 28, 2012, the Company announced the close of the IPO following the successful achievement of its target equity raise of $1.7 billion, including shares reallocated from registration for the DRIP. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had 176.9 million shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares and shares issued pursuant to the DRIP and had received total proceeds from these issuances of $1.8 billion. As of December 31, 2012, the aggregate value of all issuances and subscriptions of common stock outstanding was $1.8 billion, based on a per share value of $10.00 (or $9.50 per share for shares issued under the DRIP).

The Company was formed to primarily acquire a diversified portfolio of commercial properties, comprised primarily of freestanding single-tenant properties that are net leased to investment grade and other creditworthy tenants. All such properties may be acquired and operated by the Company alone or jointly with another party. The Company may also originate or acquire first mortgage loans secured by real estate. American Realty Capital Advisors III, LLC (the "Advisor"), is the Company's affiliated advisor. The Company purchased its first property and commenced real estate operations in September 2011. As of December 31, 2012, the Company owned 507 properties with an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 billion, comprised of 13.0 million rentable square feet which were 100% leased.

Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through American Realty Capital Operating Partnership III, L.P. (the "OP"), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of the OP and the Advisor holds 202 units of limited partner interests in the OP ("OP Units") (a non-controlling interest), which represent a nominal percentage of the aggregate equity interest. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company, the OP and unaffiliated third party investors entered into contribution agreements pursuant to which the OP issued, in the aggregate, 773,656 OP units in exchange for $7.4 million of aggregate cash contributions by the unaffiliated third party investors to the OP. As of December 31, 2012, the unaffiliated third party investors hold 773,656 OP Units (non-controlling interest), which also represent a nominal percentage of the aggregate equity interest in the OP. After holding the OP Units for a period of one year, or upon the liquidation of the OP or sale of substantially all of the assets of the OP, holders of the OP Units have the right to convert OP units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of common stock or, at the option of the OP, a corresponding number of shares of the Company's common stock, as allowed by the limited partnership agreement of the OP. The remaining rights of the limited partner interest are limited, however, and do not include the ability to replace the general partner or to approve the sale, purchase or refinancing of the OP's assets.

The Company has retained the Advisor to manage its affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Company has retained American Realty Capital Properties III, LLC (the "Property Manager"), an entity wholly owned by the Special Limited Partner, to serve as the Company's property manager. Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the "Dealer Manager"), an affiliate of the Sponsor, served as the dealer manager of the Company's IPO. The Advisor, Property Manager and Dealer Manager are related parties and have received and/or will receive, as applicable, compensation and fees for services related to the IPO and for the investment and management of the Company's assets. Such entities receive fees during the offering, acquisition, operational and liquidation stages of the Company.

Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation or claims. There are no material legal proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company, except for the following:

Since the announcement of the Merger Agreement on December 17, 2012, one putative class action lawsuit had been filed against the Company, the OP, the members of the Company's board of directors, ARCP, ARCP OP and certain subsidiaries of ARCP in the Supreme Court for the State of New York. In February 2013, the parties agreed to a memorandum of understanding regarding settlement of all claims asserted on behalf of the alleged class of the Company's stockholders. In connection with the settlement contemplated by that memorandum of understanding, the class action and all claims asserted therein will be dismissed, subject to court approval. The proposed settlement terms required the Company to make certain additional disclosures related to the Merger, which were included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2013. The memorandum of understanding also added that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement, which will be subject to customary conditions, including confirmatory discovery and court approval following notice to the Company's stockholders. If the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the court will consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement, that the court will approve any proposed settlement, or that any eventual settlement will be under the same terms as those contemplated by the memorandum of understanding.

The Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance which the Company believes should provide coverage to the Company and its officers and directors for most or all of any costs, settlements or judgments resulting from the lawsuit.

Environmental Matters

In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Special Limited Partner, an entity wholly owned by the Sponsor, owned 20,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock.

Fees Paid in Connection with the IPO

The Dealer Manager received fees and compensation in connection with the sale of the Company's common stock in the IPO. The Dealer Manager received a selling commission of up to 7.0% of gross offering proceeds before reallowance of commissions earned by participating broker-dealers. In addition, the Dealer Manager received up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of common stock, before reallowance to participating broker-dealers, as a dealer-manager fee. The Dealer Manager may reallow its dealer-manager fee to such participating broker-dealers, based on such factors as the volume of shares sold by respective participating broker-dealers and marketing support incurred as compared to those of other participating broker-dealers. The following table details total selling commissions and dealer manager fees incurred and payable to the Dealer Manager as of and for the years endedDecember 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands):

	Years Ended December 31,				Payable as of December 31,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Total commissions and fees from Dealer Manager	$	160,600	$	9,833	$	—	$	92

The Advisor and its affiliates received compensation and reimbursement for services relating to the IPO. All offering costs incurred by the Company or its affiliated entities on behalf of the Company are charged to additional paid-in capital on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The following table details offering costs reimbursements incurred and payable to the Advisor and Dealer Manager as of and for the years endedDecember 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands):

	Years Ended December 31,				Payable as of December 31,

Fees and expense reimbursements from the Advisor and Dealer Manager	$	16,081	$	4,383	$	—	$	220

The Company was responsible for offering and related costs from the IPO, excluding commissions and dealer manager fees, up to a maximum of 1.5% of gross proceeds received from its IPO, measured at the end of the IPO. Offering costs in excess of the 1.5% cap as of the end of the IPO were the Advisor's responsibility. As of December 31, 2012, offering and related costs, excluding commissions and dealer manager fees, were equal to 1.5% of gross proceeds received from the IPO. As of December 31, 2012, cumulative offering costs were $196.5 million. Offering proceeds of $1.8 billion exceeded cumulative offering costs by $1.6 billion at December 31, 2012.

Fees Paid in Connection With the Operations of the Company

The Advisor received an acquisition fee of 1.0% of the contract purchase price of each acquired property and 1.0% of the amount advanced for any loan or other investment and was reimbursed for acquisition costs incurred in the process of acquiring properties, which was approximately 0.5% of the contract purchase price. In no event will the total of all acquisition fees and acquisition expenses (including any financing coordination fees) payable with respect to a particular investment exceed 4.5% of the contract purchase price. Once the proceeds from the IPO have been fully invested, the aggregate amount of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees shall not exceed 1.5% of the contract purchase price and the amount advanced for a loan or other investment, as applicable, for all the assets acquired.

If the Advisor provided services in connection with the origination or refinancing of any debt that the Company obtained and used to acquire properties or to make other permitted investments, or that is assumed, directly or indirectly, in connection with the acquisition of properties, the Company paid the Advisor a financing coordination fee equal to 0.75% of the amount available and/or outstanding under such financing, subject to certain limitations.

Until July 1, 2012, the Company paid the Advisor an asset management fee of 0.75% per annum of the cost of the Company's assets (cost includes the purchase price, acquisition expenses, capital expenditures and other customarily capitalized costs, but excludes acquisition fees) plus costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor in providing asset management services; provided, however, that the asset management fee was reduced by any amounts payable to the Property Manager as an oversight fee, such that the aggregate of the asset management fee and the oversight fee did not exceed 0.75% per annum of the cost of the Company's assets plus costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor in providing asset management services. Prior to July 1, 2012, this fee was payable in monthly installments at the discretion of the Company's board of directors in cash, common stock or restricted stock grants, or any combination thereof.

Effective July 1, 2012, the payment of asset management fees in monthly installments in cash, shares or restricted stock grants, or any combination thereof to the Advisor was eliminated. Instead, the Company issued (subject to periodic approval by the board of directors) to the Advisor performance-based restricted partnership units of the OP designated as "Class B units," which were intended to be profits interests and vest, and no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as: (x) the value of the OP's assets plus all distributions made equals or exceeds the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return thereon (the "economic hurdle"); (y) any one of the following occurs: (1) the termination of the advisory agreement by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's independent directors without cause; (2) a listing; or (3) another liquidity event; and (z) the Advisor is still providing advisory services to the Company (the "performance condition"). Such Class B units will be forfeited immediately if: (a) the advisory agreement is terminated other than by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's independent directors without cause; or (b) the advisory agreement is terminated by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's independent directors without cause before the economic hurdle has been met.

Upon being approved by the board of directors, the Class B units were issued to the Advisor quarterly in arrears pursuant to the terms of the OP agreement. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not consider achievement of the performance condition to be probable as the shareholder vote for the Merger, which would allow vesting of these Class B units, was not completed. The value of issued Class B units will be determined and expensed, when the Company deems the achievement of performance condition to be probable. The Advisor receives distributions on unvested Class B units equal to the distribution rate received on the Company's common stock. Such distributions on issued Class B units are included as general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations until the performance condition is considered probable to occur. As of December 31, 2012, 145,022 Class B units were approved by the board of directors. From January 1, 2013 to February 28, 2013, the board of directors approved, and the Company issued, 603,599 Class B units to the Company's Advisor for its asset management services provided. The performance condition related to these Class B units was satisfied upon completion of the Merger in February 2013, which resulted in $9.9 million of expense. The Class B Units were subsequently converted to OP Units which were then converted to 711,190 ARCP OP Units after application of the exchange ratio.

Unless the Company contracts with a third party, the Company pays to an affiliate of the Sponsor a property management fee of up to 2% of gross revenues from the Company's stand-alone single-tenant net leased properties and 4% of gross revenues from its multi-tenant properties, plus, in each case, market-based leasing commissions applicable to the geographic location of the property.  The Company will also reimburse the affiliate for property level expenses.  If the Company contracts directly with third parties for such services, the Company pays them customary market fees and pays the affiliated Property Manager, an oversight fee of up to 1.0% of the gross revenues of the property managed.

The following table presents the amounts incurred and amounts contractually due and forgiven in connection with the operations related services described above as of and for the years endedDecember 31, 2012 and 2011 (amounts in thousands). No such fees where incurred during the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010.

(1) Effective July 1, 2012, the Company issued (subject to approval by the board of directors) to the Advisor restricted performance-based Class B units for asset management services, which were forfeited immediately if certain conditions occur.

The Company reimbursed the Advisor's costs of providing administrative services, subject to the limitation that it did not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which its operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeded the greater of (a) 2.0% of average invested assets, or (b) 25.0% of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debt or other similar non cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period.  Additionally, the Company did not reimburse the Advisor for personnel costs in connection with services for which the Advisor receives acquisition fees or real estate commissions.  No reimbursement was paid to the Advisor for providing administrative services during the years endedDecember 31, 2012 and 2011 and during the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010.

The Advisor provided expense support to the Company from time to time to assist the Company with operating cash flow, distributions or other operational purposes. For the years endedDecember 31, 2012 and 2011, the Advisor provided $0.1 million and $20,000 of expense support to the Company, respectively, which was recorded as a reduction to general and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of operations. No expense support was provided to the Company during the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010.

Fees Paid in Connection with the Liquidation or Listing of the Company's Real Estate Assets

The Company was obligated to pay a brokerage commission on the sale of property, not to exceed the lesser of 2.0% of the contract sale price of the property and one-half of the total brokerage commission paid if a third party broker is also involved; provided, however, that in no event may the real estate commissions paid to the Advisor, its affiliates and unaffiliated third parties exceed the lesser of 6.0% of the contract sales price and a reasonable, customary and competitive real estate commission, in light of the size, type and location of the property, in each case, payable to the Advisor if the Advisor or its affiliates, as determined by a majority of the independent directors, provided a substantial amount of services in connection with the sale. No such fees were incurred during the years endedDecember 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010.

The Company was obligated to pay a subordinated participation in the net sales proceeds of the sale of real estate assets of 15.0% of remaining net sale proceeds after return of capital contributions to investors plus payment to investors of an annual 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded return on the capital contributed by investors. Unless the Company provided this 6.0% return the Advisor would not be entitled to the subordinated participation in net sale proceeds as the Company's investors would have not received a 6.0% cumulative non-compounded return on their capital contributions. No such amounts were incurred during the years endedDecember 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010. On February 28, 2013, ARCP OP entered into the Contribution and Exchange Agreement with the OP and the Special Limited Partner of the OP. The Special Limited Partner was entitled to receive certain distributions from the OP, including the aforementioned subordinated distribution of net sales proceeds resulting from an "investment liquidity event" (as defined in the agreement of limited partnership of the OP). The Merger constituted an "investment liquidity event," as a result of which the Special Limited Partner, in connection with management's successful attainment of the 6% performance hurdle and the return to the Company's stockholders of $557.3 million in addition to their initial investment, was entitled to receive a subordinated distribution of net sales proceeds from the OP. Pursuant to the Contribution and Exchange Agreement, the Special Limited Partner contributed its interest in the OP, inclusive of the subordinated distribution proceeds received together with $0.8 million in cash, to the OP in exchange for 7.6 million OP Units. Upon consummation of the Merger these OP Units were immediately converted to 7.3 million ARCP OP Units after application of the exchange ratio. In conjunction with the Merger Agreement, the Special Limited Partner agreed to a minimum one-year holding period for these OP units before converting them to shares of ARCP common stock.

The Company was obligated to pay a subordinated incentive listing distribution of 15.0%, of the amount by which the market value of all issued and outstanding common stock plus distributions exceeded the aggregate capital contributed by investors plus an amount equal to an annual 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded annual return to investors. The Advisor would not be entitled to the subordinated incentive listing fee unless investors had received an annual 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded return on their capital contributions plus the 100.0% repayment of capital committed by such investors. No such fees were incurred or paid for the years endedDecember 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010. Neither the Advisor nor any of its affiliates earned both the subordination participation in the net sales proceeds and the subordinated incentive listing distribution.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility

On July 20, 2012, the Company, through the OP, entered into a senior revolving credit facility (the "Senior Facility") in the amount of $100.0 million with RBS Citizens, N.A. ("RBS"). The Senior Facility contained an "accordion" feature to allow the Company, under certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions, to increase the aggregate commitments under the Senior Facility to a maximum of $250.0 million.

The Senior Facility is a revolving line of credit which had a term of 36 months, subject to the Company's right to a 12-month extension. The Company had the option, based upon its corporate leverage, to draw loans under the Senior Facility priced at either: (a) LIBOR, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 2.10% to 3.50%; or (b) the Base Rate, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 2.50% to 3.00%. Base Rate is defined in the Senior Facility agreement as the greater of (i) the fluctuating annual rate of interest announced from time to time by RBS as its "prime rate" or (ii) 1.0% above the federal funds effective rate. The Senior Facility included an unused fee per annum of 0.25% and 0.15%, if the unused balance of the Senior Facility exceeds or is less than 50% of the available facility, respectively.

The Senior Facility provided for monthly interest payments, with all principal outstanding being due on the maturity date in July 2015. Borrowings under the Senior Facility may be prepaid from time to time and at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of certain costs and expenses. In the event of a default, each lender has the right to terminate its obligations under the Senior Facility, and to accelerate the payment on any unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans. The Company guaranteed the obligations under the Senior Facility. The Senior Facility required the Company to meet certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios (such as specified debt to equity and debt service coverage ratios) as well as the maintenance of a minimum net worth. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants under the Senior Facility agreement.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative or other purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

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

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During 2012, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $1.5 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense.

As of December 31, 2012 , the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (dollar amounts in thousands):

Interest Rate Derivative	Balance Sheet Location	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount		Fair Value
Interest Rate Swaps	Derivatives, at fair value	7	$	152,590	$	(3,830	)

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of the derivatives in a net liability position, including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements was $4.1 million. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their aggregate termination value of $4.1 million at December 31, 2012.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company's derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company's potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.

The Company has preferred units and senior note investments that are traded in active markets and therefore, due to the availability of quoted market prices in active markets, classified these investments as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents information about the Company's assets and liabilities (including derivatives that are presented net) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those instruments fall (in thousands):

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets Level 1		Significant Other Observable Inputs Level 2			Significant Unobservable Inputs Level 3		Total
December 31, 2012
Investment securities	$	41,654	$	—		$	—	$	41,654

December 31, 2011
Interest rate swap	$	—	$	(98	)	$	—	$	(98	)

A review of the fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2012.

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables, accounts payable and distributions payable approximates their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the Company's remaining financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are reported below (in thousands):

		Carrying Amount at		Fair Value at		Carrying Amount at		Fair Value at
	Level	December 31, 2012		December 31, 2012		December 31, 2011		December 31, 2011
Mortgage notes payable	3	$	229,360	$	235,263	$	5,060	$	5,060

The fair value of the mortgage notes payable are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Advisor's experience with similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Investment Securities

At December 31, 2012, the Company had investments in redeemable preferred stock and senior notes, accounted for as debt securities, with a fair value of $41.7 million. These investments are considered available-for-sale securities and therefore increases or decreases in the fair value of these investments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of equity on the consolidated balance sheet unless the securities are considered to be permanently impaired at which time the losses would be reclassified to expense.

The following table details the unrealized gains and losses on investment securities as of December 31, 2012. The Company did not have any such investments as of December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

Share-Based Compensation

Stock Option Plan

The Company had a stock option plan (the "Plan") which authorized the grant of nonqualified stock options to the Company's independent directors, officers, advisors, consultants and other personnel, subject to the absolute discretion of the board of directors and the applicable limitations of the Plan. The exercise price for all stock options granted under the Plan was fixed at $10.00 per share until the termination of the IPO, and thereafter the exercise price for stock options granted to the independent directors was equal to the fair market value of a share on the last business day preceding the annual meeting of stockholders. A total of 0.5 million shares had been authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, no stock options were issued under the Plan. The Plan was terminated during February 2013.

Restricted Share Plan

The Company had an employee and director incentive restricted share plan (the "RSP"), which provided for the automatic grant of 3,000 restricted shares of common stock to each of the independent directors, without any further action by the Company's board of directors or the stockholders, on the date of initial election to the board of directors and on the date of each annual stockholder's meeting thereafter. Restricted stock issued to independent directors vests over a five-year period following the first anniversary of the date of grant in increments of 20.0% per annum. The RSP provided the Company with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to the Company's directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever had employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to the Company, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to the Company, certain consultants to the Company and the Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to the Company. The fair market value of any shares of restricted stock granted under the RSP, together with the total amount of acquisition fees, acquisition expense reimbursements, asset management fees, financing coordination fees, disposition fees and subordinated distributions by the operating partnership payable to the Advisor (or its assignees), shall not exceed (a) 6.0% of all properties' aggregate gross contract purchase price, (b) as determined annually, the greater, in the aggregate, of 2.0% of average invested assets and 25.0% of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debt or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period, (c) disposition fees, if any, of up to 3.0% of the contract sales price of all properties that we sell and (d) 15.0% of remaining net sales proceeds after return of capital contributions plus payment to investors of a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded return on the capital contributed by investors. Additionally, the total number of shares of common stock granted under the RSP will not exceed 5.0% of the Company's authorized shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis at any time.

Restricted share awards entitled the recipient to receive shares of common stock from the Company under terms that provided for vesting over a specified period of time or upon attainment of pre-established performance objectives. Such awards would typically be forfeited with respect to the unvested shares upon the termination of the recipient's employment or other relationship with the Company. Restricted shares may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until the restrictions are removed and the shares have vested. Holders of restricted shares may receive cash distributions prior to the time that the restrictions on the restricted shares have lapsed. Any distributions payable in shares of common stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares. The following table reflects restricted share award activity for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

	Number of Common Shares			Weighted-Average Issue Price
Unvested, January 1, 2011	—		—	$	—
Granted	6,000		0.01	10.00
Unvested, December 31, 2011	6,000			10.00
Granted	15,000			9.40
Vested	(600	)		10.00
Forfeitures	(3,000	)		10.00
Unvested, December 31, 2012	17,400			$	9.48

The fair value of the shares, which was based on the IPO price, is being expensed over the vesting period of five years. Adjusted for the timing of board member resignations, compensation expense related to restricted stock was $21,000 and $9,000 during the years endedDecember 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There were no restricted shares issued during the period from October 15, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010. Upon consummation of the Merger, the vesting of certain shares of Company restricted stock was accelerated. The RSP was terminated during February 2013.

Other Share-Based Compensation

The Company issued common stock in lieu of cash to pay fees earned by the Company's directors, at the respective directors election. There are no restrictions on the shares issued since these payments in lieu of cash relate to fees earned for services performed. The following table reflects the shares of common stock issued to directors in lieu of cash compensation:
