OPERATING INFORMATION

Status of the Offering

We commenced our reasonable best efforts initial public offering of up to 30.0 million shares of common stock (excluding shares to be issued under the distribution reinvestment plan, or DRIP) on April 24, 2014. On May 29, 2014, we satisfied the general escrow conditions of our public offering of common stock. On such date, we received and accepted aggregate subscriptions in excess of $20.0 million in shares of common stock and thereby broke escrow in Ohio and Washington. On June 3, 2014, we received and accepted aggregate subscriptions in excess of $37.5 million in shares of common stock and thereby broke escrow in Pennsylvania. Accordingly, we are now accepting subscriptions from residents of all states.

As of September 30, 2014, we had acquired three properties which were 100.0% leased on a weighted average basis as of such date. As of September 30, 2014, we had total real estate investments, at cost, of $92.3 million. As of June 30, 2014, we had incurred cumulatively to that date $6.7 million in selling commissions, dealer manager fees and offering costs in connection with the issuance and distribution of our registered securities.

We will offer shares of our common stock until April 24, 2016, unless the offering is extended in accordance with the Prospectus, provided that the offering will be terminated if all 30.0 million shares of our common stock are sold before such date (subject to our right to reallocate shares offered pursuant to the DRIP for sale in our primary offering).

Shares Currently Available for Sale

As of September 15, 2014, we had received aggregate gross proceeds of $290.4 million, consisting of the sale of 11.7 million shares of common stock in our public offering and $1.3 million from the DRIP. As September 15, 2014, there are 11.8 million shares of our common stock outstanding, including shares issued under the DRIP and unvested restricted stock. As of September 15, 2014, there are 18.3 million shares of our common stock available for sale, excluding shares available under our DRIP.

Status of Distributions

On May 22, 2014, our board of directors authorized, and we declared, distributions payable to stockholders of record each day during the applicable period at a rate equal to $0.00414383562 per day, based on a per share price of $25.00. The distributions began to accrue on June 13, 2014, which is the date we closed on our initial property acquisition. The distributions will be payable by the 5th day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month.

There can be no assurance that we will continue paying distributions to stockholders at the same rate, or at all.

The amount of distributions payable to our stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for distribution, financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, as applicable, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Our board of directors may reduce the amount of distributions paid or suspend distribution payments at any time.

As of September 30, 2014, we owned three properties and have limited historical operating cash flows. Additionally, our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from unlimited amounts of any source, and we may use sources other than operating cash flows to fund distributions, including proceeds from this offering, which may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in properties or other permitted investments, and negatively impact the value of your investment.

Share Repurchase Program

Our share repurchase program generally requires you to hold your shares for at least one year prior to submitting them for repurchase by us. Our share repurchase program also contains numerous restrictions on your ability to sell your shares to us. During any calendar year, we may repurchase no more than 5.0% of the

S-1


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

number of shares outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year. Further, the amount we spend to repurchase shares in a given quarter will be limited to the amount of proceeds we received from the DRIP in that same quarter; however, subject to the limitations described above, we may use other sources of cash at the discretion of our board of directors. If we reach our limit on repurchases during any quarter, we will not accept any additional redemption requests for the remainder of such quarter, and the share repurchase program will resume on the first day of the next calendar quarter. We had no share repurchases as of June 30, 2014.

PROSPECTUS UPDATES

Cover Page

The sixth sentence of the first paragraph on the cover page of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced in its entirety with the following disclosure.

“Beginning with the NAV pricing date (as described below), the per share price for shares in our primary offering and our DRIP will vary quarterly and will be equal to our per share net asset value, or NAV, as determined by our advisor, divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the end of the business day immediately preceding the day on which we make our quarterly periodic filing, plus, in the case of our primary offering, applicable commissions and fees. For purposes of this prospectus, the NAV pricing date means the date on which we file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (or our Annual Report on Form 10-K should such filing constitute the applicable quarterly financial filing) with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, for the second full fiscal quarter following April 24, 2016, which is two years from the effective date of this offering. If, due to rules that may be adopted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, contractual obligations in the selling agreements between our participating broker dealers and the dealer manager, or rules that may be adopted by the SEC or the states, we publish an estimated per share value during this offering, then our board of directors may change the offering price of shares offered in the primary offering as well as the price at which shares are being offered pursuant to our DRIP. We will file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to reflect any change in the price, after the NAV pricing date, that is more than 20% higher or lower than the $25.00 per share or $23.75 per share price, as applicable, listed in this offering.”

The fifth paragraph on the cover page of the Prospectus entitled “Pennsylvania, Ohio and Washington Investors” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“This offering will end no later than April 24, 2016, which is two years from the effective date of this offering. If we decide to continue our primary offering beyond two years from the date of this prospectus, we will provide that information in a prospectus supplement. This offering must be registered in every state in which we offer or sell shares. Generally, such registrations are effective for a period of one year, subject to renewal should the offering continue beyond the one-year period. Thus, we may have to stop selling shares in any state in which our registration is not renewed at the end of the registration period or otherwise extended. On May 29, 2014, we satisfied the general escrow conditions of our public offering of common stock in all states. On such date, we broke the $2.0 million minimum escrow amount and received and accepted aggregate subscriptions in excess of $20.0 million in shares of common stock to break escrow in Ohio and Washington as well. On June 3, 2014, we broke escrow in Pennsylvania after we received and accepted aggregate subscriptions in excess of $37.5 million in shares of common stock. Accordingly, we are able to accept subscriptions from all states, in which we have cleared the state escrow requirements and received state clearance of registration of the common stock.”

The sixth paragraph on the cover page of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety.

Investor Suitability Standards

The disclosure under the heading “Investor Suitability Standards” on pages i-iii of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“An investment in our common stock involves significant risk and is suitable only for persons who have adequate financial means, desire a relatively long-term investment and will not need immediate liquidity from their investment. To the extent that you qualify as an “institutional investor” for the purposes of a state exemption from registration in your state of residence, these investor suitability standards do not apply to you. Persons who meet the applicable investor suitability standards and seek to diversify their personal portfolios with a finite-life, real estate-based investment, which among its benefits hedges against inflation and the volatility of the stock market, seek to receive current income, seek to preserve capital, wish to obtain the benefits of potential long-term capital appreciation and who are able to hold their investment for a time period consistent with our liquidity plans, are most likely to benefit from an investment in our company. On the other hand, we caution persons who require immediate liquidity or guaranteed income, or who seek a short-term

S-5


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

investment not to consider an investment in our common stock as meeting these needs. Notwithstanding these investor suitability standards, potential investors should note that investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk and should consider all the information contained in this prospectus, including the “Risk Factors” section contained herein, in determining whether an investment in our common stock is appropriate.

We have established suitability standards for initial stockholders and subsequent purchasers of shares from our stockholders. In order to purchase shares in this offering, you must:

meet the applicable financial suitability standards as described below; and
purchase at least the minimum number of shares as described below.

The minimum purchase is $2,500 (which would purchase 100 shares at the full, undiscounted primary offering price). You may not transfer fewer shares than the minimum purchase requirement. In addition, you may not transfer, fractionalize or subdivide your shares so as to retain less than the number of shares required for the minimum purchase. In order to satisfy the minimum purchase requirements for individual retirement accounts, or IRAs, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable state law, a husband and wife may jointly contribute funds from their separate IRAs if each such contribution is made in increments of $100. You should note that an investment in shares of our common stock will not, in itself, create a retirement plan and that, in order to create a retirement plan, you must comply with all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code.

Several states have established suitability requirements that add to and/or apply additional requirements to the general suitability standards described above.

An investor must have either (a) a minimum net worth of at least $250,000 or (b) an annual gross income of at least $70,000 and a net worth of at least $70,000. The investor’s maximum investment in us and our affiliates also cannot exceed 10% of the Oregon resident’s net worth.

Pennsylvania

The maximum investment allowable in us for a Pennsylvania is 10% of his or her net worth.

Tennessee

A Tennessee resident’s investment in us must not exceed 10% of his or her liquid net worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles).

In the case of sales to fiduciary accounts (such as an IRA, Keogh Plan or pension or profit-sharing plan), these minimum suitability standards must be satisfied by the beneficiary, the fiduciary account or by the donor or grantor who directly or indirectly supplies the funds to purchase our common stock if the donor or the grantor is the fiduciary. Prospective investors with investment discretion over the assets of an IRA, employee benefit plan or other retirement plan or arrangement that is covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or ERISA, or Code Section 4975 should carefully review the information in the section of this prospectus entitled “Investment by Tax-Exempt Entities and ERISA Considerations.” Any such prospective investors are required to consult their own legal and tax advisors on these matters.

In the case of gifts to minors, the minimum suitability standards must be met by the custodian of the account or by the donor.

In order to ensure adherence to the suitability standards described above, requisite criteria must be met, as set forth in the subscription agreement in the form attached hereto as Appendix C-1. In addition, our sponsor, our dealer manager and the soliciting dealers, as our agents, must make every reasonable effort to determine that the purchase of our shares is a suitable and appropriate investment for an investor. In making this determination, the soliciting dealers will rely on relevant information provided by the investor in the investor’s subscription agreement, including information regarding the investor’s age, investment objectives, investment experience, income, net worth, financial situation, other investments and any other pertinent information, including whether (i) the participant is or will be in a financial position appropriate to enable him to realize the benefits described in the prospectus, (ii) the participant has a fair market net worth sufficient to sustain the risks inherent in the investment program, and (iii) the investment program is otherwise suitable for the participant. Alternatively, except for investors in Alabama, Arkansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, North Carolina or Tennessee, the requisite criteria may be met using the multi-offering subscription agreement in the form attached hereto as Appendix C-2, which may be used to purchase shares in this offering as well as shares of other products distributed by our dealer manager; provided, that an investor has received the relevant prospectus(es) and meets the requisite criteria and suitability standards for any such other product(s). Executed subscription agreements will be maintained in our records for six years.”

     Specifically, we will pay our advisor or its affiliates for any services provided by such entities for which they incur investment-related expenses, or insourced expenses. Such insourced expenses will be fixed initially at 0.50% of the purchase price of each property (including our pro rata share of debt attributable to the property) and 0.50% of the amount advanced for each loan or other investment (including our pro rata share of debt attributable to such investment), which will be paid at the closing of each such investment. Examples of insourced expenses include legal advisory expenses, due diligence expenses, acquisition-related administrative and advisory expenses, survey, property, lease and contract review expenses, travel and communications expenses and other closing costs, regardless of whether we acquire the investment. Aggregate insourced expenses in any year shall be fixed initially at 0.50% of the purchase price of our acquisitions (including our pro rata share of debt attributable to such investments) and 0.50% of the amounts advanced for all loans or other investments (including our pro rata share of debt attributable to such investments). By initially fixing insourced expenses for each acquisition and for any year to 0.50% of the purchase price of our acquisitions for such year, we intend for these expenses to remain at or below the amount of expenses that we would incur if we outsourced the services performed by our advisor and its affiliates described above for each such year. In order to ensure that such insourced expenses remain at or below market rates, we will perform annually a comparative analysis of what the amount of expenses will be if we outsource the services provided by the advisor or its affiliates during such year for a substantially similar amount of acquisitions in the subsequent year, or a market check. In light of this market check, we will adjust our future insourced expenses annually, or we may determine to outsource certain services provided by the advisor or its affiliates for any subsequent year in order to remain at or below market rates, if needed.

This fee will be payable only from realized appreciation in the company’s assets upon sale, other disposition or refinancing of such assets, which results in our return on stockholders’ capital exceeding 6.0% of the original issue price of our shares per annum.   The actual amount will depend on our performance, as well as on the number of shares sold, the per share NAV and the period of time that the investor continues to hold the shares.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Risk Factors

The following disclosures are hereby inserted as new risk factors under the section “Risk Factors — Risks Related to an Investment in American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc.” beginning on page 28 of the Prospectus.

We rely significantly on five major tenants and therefore, are subject to tenant credit concentrations that make us more susceptible to adverse events with respect to this tenant.

As of September 30, 2014, Cornell University, TD Bank, N.A., Quik Park East 67th Street LLC, Gibson Guitar Corp. and 200 Riverside Parking LLC represented 44.5%, 18.6%, 15.3%, 10.9% and 10.7%, respectively, of our total annualized rental income on a straight-line basis. Therefore, the financial failure of any or all of these tenants is likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our financial condition. In addition, the values of these investments are driven by the credit quality of the underlying tenants, and an adverse change in the tenants' financial conditions or a decline in the credit rating of such tenants may result in a decline in the value of our investments and have a material adverse effect on our results from operations.

    Our stockholders’ interest in us may be diluted if the price we pay in respect of shares repurchased under our SRP exceeds the net asset value, at such time as we calculate NAV, of our shares.

The prices we may pay for shares repurchased under our SRP may exceed the net asset value of the shares at the time of repurchase, which may reduce the NAV of the remaining shares.

    Distributions paid from sources other than our cash flows from operations, particularly from proceeds of our IPO, will result in us having fewer funds available for the acquisition of properties and other real estate-related investments and may dilute our stockholders' interests in us, which may adversely affect our ability to fund future distributions with cash flows from operations and may adversely affect our stockholders' overall return.

Our cash flows used in operations were $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and, as such, our distributions were paid with cash proceeds from our IPO and proceeds from our IPO which were reinvested in common stock issued under our DRIP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we paid distributions of $2.0 million, of which $0.7 million, or 36.4%, was funded from cash proceeds from the IPO and $1.3 million, or 63.6%, was funded from proceeds from our IPO which were reinvested in common stock issued under our DRIP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 cash flows from operations included an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.6 million, as reflected on the statement of cash flows. Accordingly, if these accounts payable and accrued expenses had been paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there would have been $0.6 million less in cash flows from operations available to pay distributions. Using offering proceeds to pay distributions, especially if the distributions are not reinvested through our DRIP, reduces cash available for investment in assets or other purposes, and reduces our per share stockholders' equity. We may continue to use net offering proceeds to fund distributions.

We may not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to pay distributions. If we have not generated sufficient cash flows from our operations and other sources, such as from borrowings, the sale of additional securities, advances from our Advisor, and our Advisor's deferral, suspension or waiver of its fees and expense reimbursements, to fund distributions, we may use the proceeds from our IPO. Moreover, our board of directors may change our distribution policy, in its sole discretion, at any time. Distributions made from offering proceeds are a return of capital to stockholders, from which we will have already paid offering expenses in connection with our IPO. We have not established any limit on the amount of proceeds from our IPO that may be used to fund distributions, except that, in accordance with our organizational documents and Maryland law, we may not make distributions that would: (1) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; (2) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus senior liquidation preferences, if any; or (3) jeopardize our ability to qualify as a REIT.

Funding distributions from borrowings could restrict the amount we can borrow for investments, which may affect our profitability. Funding distributions with the sale of assets or the proceeds of our IPO may affect our ability to generate additional operating cash flows. Funding distributions from the sale of additional securities could dilute each stockholder's interest in us if we sell shares of our common stock or securities

that are convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock to third-party investors. Payment of distributions from the mentioned sources could restrict our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, affect our profitability or affect the distributions payable to stockholders upon a liquidity event, any or all of which may have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares.

    Recent disclosures made by American Realty Capital Properties, Inc., or ARCP, an entity previously sponsored by the parent of our sponsor, regarding certain accounting errors have led to the temporary suspension of selling agreements by certain soliciting dealers.

ARCP recently filed a Form 8-K announcing that its audit committee had concluded that the previously issued financial statements and other financial information contained in certain public filings should no longer be relied upon as a result of certain accounting errors that were identified but intentionally not corrected, and other AFFO and financial statement errors that were intentionally made. These accounting errors resulted in the resignations of ARCP’s former chief financial officer and its former chief accounting officer. ARCP has initiated an investigation into these matters that is ongoing; no assurance can be made regarding the outcome of the investigation. ARCP’s former chief financial officer is one of the non-controlling owners of the parent of our sponsor, but does not have a role in the management of our sponsor’s or our business.

As a result of this announcement, a number of broker-dealer firms that had been participating in the distribution of offerings of public, non-listed REITs sponsored directly or indirectly by the parent of our sponsor have temporarily suspended their participation in the distribution of those offerings, including ours. These temporary suspensions, as well as any future suspensions, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise additional capital. We cannot predict the length of time these temporary suspensions will continue, or whether such soliciting dealers will reinstate their participation in the distribution of our offering. In addition, future announcements by ARCP with respect to its ongoing investigation may have an adverse effect on our ability to raise capital. If we are unable to raise substantial funds, we will be limited in the number and type of investments we may make and the value of your investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific properties we acquire.”

The first sentence under the risk factor entitled “Purchases of common stock by our directors, our officers, officers and employees of our dealer manager, other affiliates and Friends in this offering should not influence investment decisions of independent, unaffiliated investors.” on page 28 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“Our directors, our officers, officers and employees of our dealer manager, other affiliates and Friends may purchase shares of our common stock.”

The first sentence under the risk factor entitled “Our ability to implement our investment strategy is dependent, in part, upon the ability of our dealer manager to successfully conduct this offering, which makes an investment in us more speculative.” on page 29 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“We have retained our dealer manager, which is owned by an entity under common control with the parent of our sponsor, to conduct this offering.”

The disclosure under the risk factor entitled “Distributions paid from sources other than our cash flows from operations, particularly from proceeds of this offering, will result in us having fewer funds available for the acquisition of properties and other real estate-related investments and may reduce value of your investment.” on page 30 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“Until we are generating operating cash flow from properties or other real estate-related investments sufficient to pay distributions to our stockholders, we intend to pay all or a substantial portion of our distributions from the proceeds of this offering or from borrowings, including possible borrowings from our advisor or its affiliates, the sale of additional securities, advances from our advisor, and our advisor’s deferral, suspension or waiver of its fees and expense reimbursements. We may pay distributions that exceed our funds from operations, or FFO, a non-GAAP measure that we use as a performance measure. Our board of directors may change our distribution policy, in its sole discretion, at any time, especially if the distributions paid in any particular period exceed our FFO. Distributions in excess of FFO may indicate that the level of distributions may not be sustainable going forward. Distributions funded from offering proceeds are a return

of capital to stockholders, from which we will have already paid offering expenses in connection with this offering. We have not established any limit on the amount of proceeds from this offering that may be used to fund distributions beyond those contained in our charter or imposed by Maryland law.

If we fund distributions from the proceeds of this offering, we will have less funds available for acquiring properties or other real estate-related investments. As a result, the return you realize on your investment may be reduced. Funding distributions from borrowings could restrict the amount we can borrow for investments, which may affect our profitability and also reduce the amount that we may invest. Funding distributions with the net proceeds from the sale of assets or the proceeds of this offering may affect our ability to generate cash flows from operations. Funding distributions from the sale of additional securities could dilute your interest in us if we sell shares of our common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock to third-party investors. Using offering proceeds to pay distributions, especially if the distributions are not reinvested through our DRIP, reduces cash available for investment in assets or other purposes, and reduces our per share stockholders’ equity. Payment of distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations could also affect our profitability or affect the distributions payable to you upon a liquidity event, any or all of which may have an adverse effect on the value of your investment.”

The first sentence under the risk factor entitled “The loss of or the inability to obtain key real estate professionals at our advisor or our dealer manager could delay or hinder implementation of our investment strategies, which could limit our ability to make distributions and decrease the value of your investment.” on page 32 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of Messrs. Schorsch, Happel, Sullivan and Radesca at our advisor and William E. Dwyer III and Louisa H. Quarto at our dealer manager.”

The first sentence under the risk factor “We may be unable to pay or maintain cash distributions or increase distributions over time.” on page 33 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“There are many factors that can affect the availability and timing of cash distributions to stockholders, including the amount of cash flow from operations and FFO.”

The disclosure under the risk factor entitled “Because other real estate programs sponsored directly or indirectly by the parent of our sponsor and offered through our dealer manager may conduct offerings concurrently with our offering, our sponsor and our dealer manager face potential conflicts of interest arising from competition among us and these other programs for investors and investment capital, and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor.” on page 35 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“The parent of our sponsor is the sponsor of several other non-traded REITs for which affiliates of our advisor are also advisors that are raising capital in ongoing public offerings of common stock. Our dealer manager, which is owned by an entity under common control with the parent of our sponsor, is the dealer manager or is named in the registration statement as the dealer manager in a number of ongoing public offerings by non-traded REITs, including some offerings sponsored directly or indirectly by the parent of our sponsor. In addition, our sponsor may decide to sponsor future programs that would seek to raise capital through public offerings conducted concurrently with this offering. Furthermore, the parent company of our dealer manager, RCS Capital Corporation, or RCAP, a holding company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “RCAP”, which is also an entity under common control with the parent of our sponsor, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Cole Capital®, a private capital management business that sponsors, advises and distributes non-traded REITs which invest in net leased real estate assets. Following the completion of the acquisition, subsidiaries of RCAP will distribute three additional ongoing public offerings of non-traded REITs sponsored, advised and distributed by subsidiaries of RCAP, and may distribute additional non-traded REITs sponsored by subsidiaries of RCAP. Subsidiaries of RCAP will serve as advisor of the Cole Capital non-traded REITs in addition to serving as dealer manager and will be entitled to receive fees and commissions from the Cole Capital non-traded REITs for their services in such capacity, in addition to dealer manager fees and selling commissions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As a result, our sponsor and our dealer manager may face conflicts of interest arising from potential competition with these other programs for investors and investment capital. There may be periods during which one or more programs sponsored directly or indirectly by the parent of our sponsor will be raising capital and might compete with us for investment capital. Such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, and you will not have the opportunity to evaluate the manner in which these conflicts of interest are resolved before or after making your investment.

We also will compete for investors with these other programs, and the overlap of these offerings with our offering could adversely affect our ability to raise all the capital we seek in this offering, the timing of sales of our shares and the amount of proceeds we have to invest in real estate assets.”

The disclosure under the risk factor entitled “All of our executive officers, some of our directors and the key real estate and other professionals assembled by our advisor, our property manager and our dealer manager face conflicts of interest related to their positions or interests in affiliates of our sponsor, which could hinder our ability to implement our business strategy and to generate returns to our stockholders.” on page 36 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“All of our executive officers, some of our directors and the key real estate and other professionals assembled by our advisor, property manager and dealer manager are also executive officers, directors, managers, key professionals or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interests in our advisor, our property manager, our dealer manager or other sponsor-affiliated entities. In addition, Mr. Schorsch is also an executive and board member of entities affiliated with five non-traded REITs advised and sponsored by Cole Capital, which will be under common control with the parent of our sponsor following the completion of the acquisition of Cole Capital by RCAP.

Through our sponsor’s affiliates, some of these persons work on behalf of programs sponsored directly or indirectly by the parent of our sponsor that are currently raising capital publicly. As a result, they have loyalties to each of these entities, which loyalties could conflict with the fiduciary duties they owe to us and could result in action or inaction detrimental to our business. Conflicts with our business and interests are most likely to arise from (a) allocation of new investments and management time and services between us and the other entities, (b) our purchase of properties from, or sale of properties to, affiliated entities, (c) development of our properties by affiliates, (d) investments with affiliates of our advisor, (e) compensation to our advisor and (f) our relationship with our advisor, our dealer manager and our property manager. If we do not successfully implement our business strategy, we may be unable to generate the cash needed to make distributions to our stockholders and to maintain or increase the value of our assets.”

The risk factor “Our advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the incentive fee structure, which could result in actions that are not necessarily in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.” on page 37 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

The conflicts of interest inherent in the incentive fee structure of our arrangements with our advisor and its affiliates could result in actions that are not necessarily in the long-term best interests of our stockholders, including required payments if we terminate the advisory agreement, even for poor performance by our advisor.

Under our advisory agreement and the limited partnership agreement of our operating partnership, or the partnership agreement, the special limited partner and its affiliates will be entitled to fees, distributions and other amounts that are structured in a manner intended to provide incentives to our advisor to perform in our best interests. However, because our advisor does not maintain a significant equity interest in us and is entitled to receive substantial minimum compensation regardless of performance, its interests may not be wholly aligned with those of our stockholders. In that regard, our advisor could be motivated to recommend riskier or more speculative investments in order for us to generate the specified levels of performance or sales proceeds that would entitle it or the special limited partner to fees. In addition, the special limited partner and its affiliates’ entitlement to fees and distributions upon the sale of our assets and to participate in sale proceeds could result in our advisor recommending sales of our investments at the earliest possible time at which sales of investments would produce the level of return that would entitle our advisor and its affiliates, including the

special limited partner, to compensation relating to such sales, even if continued ownership of those investments might be in our best long-term interest.

Moreover, the partnership agreement will require our operating partnership to pay a performance-based termination distribution to the special limited partner or its assignees if we terminate the advisory agreement, even for poor performance by our advisor, prior to the listing of our shares for trading on an exchange or, absent such listing, in respect of its participation in net sales proceeds. To avoid paying this distribution, our independent directors may decide against terminating the advisory agreement prior to our listing of our shares or disposition of our investments even if, but for the termination distribution, termination of the advisory agreement would be in our best interest. Similarly, because this distribution will still be due even if we terminate the advisory agreement for poor performance, our advisor may be incentivized to focus its resources and attention on other matters or otherwise fail to use its best efforts on our behalf.

In addition, the requirement to pay the distribution to the special limited partner or its assignees at termination could cause us to make different investment or disposition decisions than we would otherwise make, in order to satisfy our obligation to pay the distribution to the special limited partner or its assignees. Moreover, our advisor will have the right to terminate the advisory agreement upon a change of control of our company and thereby trigger the payment of the termination distribution, which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing the change of control. In addition, our advisor will be entitled to an annual subordinated performance fee such that for any year in which investors receive payment of a 6.0% annual cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded return on the capital contributed by investors, our advisor will be entitled to 15.0% of the amount in excess of such 6.0% per annum return, provided that the amount paid to our advisor does not exceed 10.0% of the aggregate return for such year, and that the amount, while accruing annually in each year the 6.0% return is attained, will not actually be paid to our advisor unless investors receive a return of capital contributions, which could encourage our advisor to recommend riskier or more speculative investments.”

The title of the risk factor “We intend to disclose funds from operations and modified funds from operations, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in future communications with investors, including documents filed with the SEC; however, funds from operations and modified funds from operation are not equivalent to our net income or loss of cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP, and you should consider GAAP measures to be more relevant to our operating performance.” on page 38 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following title:

We intend to disclose FFO and modified funds from operations, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in future communications with investors, including documents filed with the SEC; however, FFO and modified funds from operation are not equivalent to our net income or loss of cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP, and you should consider GAAP measures to be more relevant to our operating performance.”

The title of the risk factor “Because our dealer manager is owned by an entity under common ownership with the parent of our sponsor, you will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review of us, which is customarily performed in underwritten offerings; the absence of an independent due diligence review increases the risks and uncertainty you face as a stockholder.” on page 43 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following title:

The first sentence of the risk factor entitled “Payment of fees to our advisor and its affiliates reduces cash available for investment and distribution and increases the risk that our stockholders will not be able to recover the amount of their investment in our shares.” on page 43 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

and acquisition of our investments, the coordination of financing, the management and leasing of our properties, the administration of our other investments, as well as the performance of other administrative responsibilities for us including accounting services, transaction management services and investor relations.”

The disclosure under the risk factor entitled “Potential changes in U.S. accounting standards regarding operating leases may make the leasing of our properties less attractive to our potential tenants, which could reduce overall demand for our leasing services.” on page 49 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“Under current authoritative accounting guidance for leases, a lease is classified by a tenant as a capital lease if the significant risks and rewards of ownership are considered to reside with the tenant. Under capital lease accounting for a tenant, both the leased asset and liability are reflected on their balance sheet. If the lease does not meet any of the criteria for a capital lease, the lease is considered an operating lease by the tenant, and the obligation does not appear on the tenant’s balance sheet; rather, the contractual future minimum payment obligations are only disclosed in the footnotes thereto. Thus, entering into an operating lease can appear to enhance a tenant’s balance sheet in comparison to direct ownership. The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, and the International Accounting Standards Board, or the IASB, conducted a joint project to reevaluate lease accounting. In June 2013, the FASB and the IASB jointly finalized exposure drafts of a proposed accounting model that would significantly change lease accounting. In March 2014, the FASB and the IASB redeliberated aspects of the joint project, including the lessee and lessor accounting models, lease term, and exemptions and simplifications. The timing of the issuance of the final standards is uncertain. Changes to the accounting guidance could affect both our accounting for leases as well as that of our current and potential tenants. These changes may affect how the real estate leasing business is conducted. For example, if the accounting standards regarding the financial statement classification of operating leases are revised, then companies may be less willing to enter into leases in general or desire to enter into leases with shorter terms because the apparent benefits to their balance sheets could be reduced or eliminated. This in turn could cause a delay in investing our offering proceeds and make it more difficult for us to enter into leases on terms we find favorable.”

The section entitled “Employment Trends” on page 79 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

Employment Trends

In our view, employment is a key driver of real estate demand, especially demand for office space. According to Cushman & Wakefield, New York City lost approximately 130,000 jobs from April 2008 until December 2009. This compares to approximately 150,000 jobs lost in the 1990 – 1991 recession and approximately 140,000 jobs lost in the 2001 – 2002 recession. However, New York City has gained approximately 360,000 jobs from December 2009 through May 2014, resulting in a net job gain of approximately 230,000 jobs since the cycle of job losses began in April 2008. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate as of April 2014 in Manhattan was 6.0%.

“Many real estate markets across the country are potentially vulnerable to both large increases in supply and large decreases in demand. According to Cushman & Wakefield, New York City actually faces a potential supply shortage over the long term. In the three decades from 1960 to 1990, the new supply of office space in New York City averaged more than 5.5 million square feet per year. However, between 1990 and 2010, the new supply of office space in New York City averaged approximately 1.5 million square feet per year.

According to Cushman & Wakefield, the vacancy rate in the New York City office market as of June 2014 was approximately 10.3%, up from the 5.3% vacancy rate in mid-2007 when vacancy rates began to rise in the New York City office market. The vacancy rate peaked at approximately 18% after the 1990 – 1991 downturn and at approximately 12% after the 2000 – 2001 downturn. Cushman & Wakefield estimates that the average vacancy rate in New York City over the long term is 7 – 9%.

Rental Rate Trends

The section entitled “Rental Rate Trends” on page 81 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

Rental Rate Trends

Rental rate trends typically follow vacancy trends but with a lag. In this most recent recession, asking rents in the Manhattan office market declined by over 26% since they peaked in the third quarter of 2008 according to Cushman & Wakefield. However, “net effective rents,” which we believe to be a better measure of true economic rents, fell by more than 32% over the same period. Net effective rents are the asking rents adjusted for free rent and other monetary concessions given by the landlord to tenants. As real estate markets recover, we believe the typical pattern is to see an improvement in occupancy followed by a recovery in net effective rents followed by a rebound in asking rents.

     Specifically, we will pay our advisor or its affiliates for any services provided by such entities for which they incur investment-related expenses, or insourced expenses. Such insourced expenses will be fixed initially at 0.50% of the purchase price of each property (including our pro rata share of debt attributable to the property) and 0.50% of the amount advanced for each loan or other investment (including our pro rata share of debt attributable to such investment), which will be paid at the closing of each such investment. Examples of insourced expenses include legal advisory expenses, due diligence expenses, acquisition-related administrative and advisory expenses, survey, property, lease and contract review expenses, travel and communications expenses and other closing costs, regardless of whether we acquire the investment. Aggregate insourced expenses in any year shall be fixed initially at 0.50% of the price of our acquisitions (including our pro rata share of debt attributable to such investments) and 0.50% of the amounts advanced for all loans or other investments (including our pro rata share of debt attributable to such investments). By initially fixing insourced expenses for each acquisition and for any year to 0.50% of the purchase price of our acquisitions for such year, we intend for these expenses to remain at or below the amount of expenses that we would incur if we outsourced the services performed by our advisor and its affiliates described above for each such year. In order to ensure that such insourced expenses remain at or below market rates, we will perform annually a comparative analysis of what the amount of expenses will be if we outsource the services provided by the advisor or its affiliates during such year for a substantially similar amount of acquisitions in the subsequent year, or a market check. In light of this market check, we will adjust our future insourced expenses annually, or we may determine to outsource certain services provided by the advisor or its affiliates for any subsequent year in order to remain at or below market rates, if needed.

Mr. Schorsch is also the chairman of the board of directors of NYRT, a publicly traded REIT listed on The New York Stock Exchange, and the chairman of the board of directors of ARC HT, a publicly traded REIT listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market. Mr. Schorsch also serves as chief executive officer of NYRT. Mr. Schorsch is also a director and/or officer of ARC RCA, ARC DNAV, ARC Global, ARCT V, ARC RFT, ARC HOST, ARC HT II, ARC HT III, ARC RCA II and ARC Global II, which are public, non-traded REITs sponsored by the parent of our sponsor, advised by affiliates of our sponsor and for which our dealer manager acted or acts as dealer manager. Mr. Kahane is also a director of NYRT, ARC RCA, ARC HT, ARC HOST, ARC HT II, PE-ARC and PE-ARC II, which are public, non-traded REITs sponsored by the parent of our sponsor, advised by affiliates of our sponsor and for which our dealer manager acted or acts as dealer manager.

Schorsch and Kahane are also directors of BDCA, which is a public, non-traded business development company sponsored by the parent of our sponsor, advised by affiliates of our sponsor and an entity for which our dealer manager acts as dealer manager. Mr. Schorsch is also the general partner of AEP, a non-traded oil and gas limited partnership sponsored by the parent of our sponsor, advised by affiliates of our sponsor and an entity for which our dealer manager acts as dealer manager. As of the date of this prospectus, our dealer manager is the dealer manager or is named in the registration statement as the dealer manager in several offerings, including some offerings in which the parent of our sponsor is the sole sponsor.

Every transaction that we enter into with our advisor, our property manager, our dealer manager or their respective affiliates is subject to an inherent conflict of interest. Our board of directors may encounter conflicts of interest in enforcing our rights against any affiliate in the event of a default by, or disagreement with, an affiliate or in invoking powers, rights or options pursuant to any agreement between us and our advisor, our property manager, our dealer manager or any of their respective affiliates.

The parent of our sponsor has entered into a services agreement with RCS Advisory Services, LLC, or RCS Advisory, pursuant to which RCS Advisory provides us and other programs sponsored directly or indirectly by AR Capital, LLC with transaction management services (including, without limitation, due diligence, event coordination and marketing services) and other services. As explained in the following paragraph, RCS Advisory is an entity under common control with our sponsor, and therefore the services

agreement is a related party transaction which was not negotiated at arm’s-length. The agreement provides for an initial ten-year term, with automatic renewals for successive five-year periods, in each case, unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the term. In addition, the agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (i) AR Capital, LLC’s delivery to RCS Advisory of a notice of non-compliance with its obligations under the agreement and the failure of the parties to resolve the matters referred to in the noncompliance notice; and (ii) the impact of a force majeure-related delay upon either party, if the force majeure results in performance being delayed by greater than 60 days.

Each of our dealer manager, our transfer agent and RCS Advisory, is an indirect subsidiary of RCAP. Mr. Schorsch, our chief executive officer and chairman of our board of directors, and Mr. Kahane are directors of RCAP. RCAP Holdings, LLC, or RCAP Holdings, which is directly or indirectly controlled by Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane, owns the sole outstanding share of RCAP’s Class B common stock. Under RCAP’s certificate of incorporation, RCAP Holdings, as the holder of one share of Class B common stock, has one vote more than 50% of the voting rights of RCAP, and thereby controls RCAP and its subsidiaries, which includes our dealer manager, our transfer agent and RCS Advisory. As a result, our dealer manager, our transfer agent and RCS Advisory are under common control with our sponsor. Class B common stock has no economic rights.

RCAP, an entity under common control with the parent of our sponsor, has assembled a retail advice platform consisting of various retail broker dealer businesses. One or more of those broker dealers may become a soliciting dealer for this offering and act as a soliciting dealer for other offerings sponsored directly or indirectly by the parent of our sponsor. The broker dealers that are part of RCAP’s retail advice platform maintain the management of all of their respective business and strategic decisions and RCAP does not require such broker dealers to sell the securities of any offering sponsored directly or indirectly by the parent of our sponsor, including this offering. The individual broker dealers and financial advisors employed by firms that are part of the RCAP retail advice platform, consistent with their obligations under FINRA rules and the policies and procedures of their respective firms, determine the suitability of each investment for each client independently based upon the facts and circumstances of each proposed sale.”

“We expect that several publicly offered programs sponsored or co-sponsored directly or indirectly by the parent of our sponsor and its affiliates, including PE-ARC, BDCA, ARC DNAV, ARC HT II, ARC RCA, PE-ARC II, ARC HOST, ARC RFT, ARC RCA II, ARC HT III, ARC Global II, UDF V, BDCA II, AEP and others, will be raising capital in their respective public offerings concurrently with at least a portion of the duration of this offering. Our dealer manager is the dealer manager for these other offerings. We will compete for investors with these other programs, and the overlap of these offerings with our offering could adversely affect our ability to raise all the capital we seek in this offering, the timing of sales of our shares and the amount of proceeds we have to spend on real estate investments. In addition, our sponsor may decide to sponsor future programs that would seek to raise capital through public offerings conducted concurrently with our offering. As a result, we face a conflict of interest due to the potential competition among us and these other programs for investors and investment capital.”

The third and last bullets under the heading “Receipt of Fees and Other Compensation by Our Sponsor and its Affiliates” on page 116 of the Prospectus are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced, respectively, with the following disclosure.

Such engagements will be at terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party for comparable services, and may result in the payment of fees or reimbursement of expenses by us to such entities not described in “Management Compensation.” Services provided by such entities to prior programs of the parent of our sponsor have included strategic advisory services from the investment banking division of our dealer manager related to certain portfolio acquisitions and liquidity events, and included payment of a transaction fee based upon a certain percentage of the value of such transaction upon the consummation of the respective transaction.”

The first two paragraphs under the heading “Affiliated Dealer Manager” on page 120 of the Prospectus are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

See the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.

Our dealer manager also is the dealer manager in other offerings, including offerings sponsored directly or indirectly by the American Realty Capital group of companies, that are either effective or in registration. In addition, our dealer manager may in the future be retained to raise capital through public offerings sponsored directly or indirectly by our sponsor and other third-party sponsors that will be conducted concurrently with our offering. As a result, our dealer manager will have competing demands on its time and resources. Our dealer manager may face conflicts of interest arising from potential competition with these other programs for investors and investment capital. We will compete for investors with these other programs, and the overlap of these offerings with our offering could adversely affect our ability to raise all the capital we seek in this offering, the timing of sales of our shares and the amount of proceeds we have to spend on real estate investments. Our dealer manager was designed as a wholesale broker dealer capable of simultaneously distributing multiple direct investment programs. As of June 30, 2014, our dealer manager, a subsidiary of RCS Capital Corporation, an entity under common control with the parent of our sponsor, had a team of 305 professionals. Our dealer manager believes its sales team is adequate and structured in a manner to handle sales for all of the offerings for which it is the dealer manager, including those offerings that are currently in registration or that were recently declared effective, without adversely affecting its ability to act as dealer manager in this offering.”

Investments in Money Market Funds and Liquid Marketable Securities

Pending the purchase of other permitted investments, or to provide a working capital reserve described below, we may temporarily invest up to 5% of the proceeds of the equity capital raise in accounts managed by an affiliate of the issuer, National Fund Advisors, or NFA. Investments made by NFA may include liquid, available-for-sale investments in marketable real estate securities, including common equity, preferred equity or unsecured notes.

In addition, we may temporarily invest in one or more money market mutual funds or directly in certificates of deposit, commercial paper, interest-bearing government securities and other short-term instruments. We intend to hold substantially all funds, pending our investment in real estate or real estate-related assets, in assets which will allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT. These investments will be liquid and provide for appropriate safety of principal, such as cash, cash items and government securities. Cash items include cash on hand, cash deposited in time and demand accounts with financial institutions, receivables which arise in our ordinary course of operation, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. Generally, government securities are any securities issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United States federal government.

“DESCRIPTION OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Recent Property Investments

The Hit Factory

On June 13, 2014, we acquired the fee simple interest in a commercial condominium unit located at 421 West 54th Street, or the Hit Factory, in the Midtown West neighborhood of Manhattan. The sellers of the Hit Factory were Sagamore 54th St. Investments LLC and Sagamore Arizona LLC, as tenants in common. The sellers have no material relationship with us and the acquisition was not an affiliated transaction.

Capitalization

The contract purchase price of the Hit Factory was $7.3 million, exclusive of closing costs. We funded the purchase price with proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering. We may seek financing for the Hit Factory post-closing from a lender yet to be identified. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure financing on terms that we deem favorable or at all.

Major Tenants/Lease Expiration

The Hit Factory contains approximately 12,327 rentable square feet and is 100% leased to Gibson Guitar Corporation, a global leader in musical instruments and professional audio equipment. Gibson Guitar utilizes the commercial space as their product showroom and practice studio. The lease has an original 17-year term

which commenced in January 2003 and expires in September 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, the tenant is required to pay all real estate tax increases over a base year of 2013/2014 and all common charge increases over the 2013 calendar year. The lease contains annual rental escalations based on the Consumer Price Index, or CPI, and two five-year renewal options at the greater of fair market value or the last rent under the lease plus CPI. The current annual straight-line rental income for the initial term is $0.6 million.

The table below sets forth the occupancy rate and average effective annual rent per rentable square foot as of December 31 for each of the last five years:

         
  2013   2012   2011   2010   2009

Other

We believe the property is suitable and adequate for its uses.

We do not have any scheduled capital improvements.

We believe the property is adequately insured.

The Federal tax basis and the rate of depreciation will be determined based upon the completion of cost allocation studies in connection with finalizing our 2014 Federal tax return.

The annual real estate taxes payable on the property for the current tax year are expected to be $0.2 million.

We believe that the Hit Factory is well located, has acceptable roadway access and is well maintained. The Hit Factory is subject to competition from similar properties within its respective market area and the economic performance of the tenants of the Hit Factory and their operations could be affected by changes in local economic conditions. We did not consider any other factors material or relevant to the decision to acquire the Hit Factory, nor, after reasonable inquiry, are we aware of any material factors other than those discussed above that would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results.

The Laurel Condominium

On September 5, 2014, we acquired the fee simple interests in three commercial condominium units located at 400 East 67th Street in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan. The seller of the property was USPF IV Laurel Retail Owner, L.P. The seller has no material relationship with us, our operating partnership, our sponsor or advisor or any of their respective affiliates.

Capitalization

The contract purchase price of the property was $76.0 million, exclusive of closing costs. We funded 100% of the purchase price with proceeds from this offering.

Major Tenants/Lease Expiration

The property contains 58,750 rentable square feet and is 100% leased to three tenants: Cornell University, which represents 58% of annualized cash base rent, TD Bank, N.A., which represents 23% of annualized cash base rent, and Quik Park East 67th Street LLC (“Quik Park”), which represents 19% of annualized cash base rent.

200 Riverside Boulevard

On September 24, 2014, we acquired the fee simple interest in a commercial garage unit in Trump Place, the condominium building located at 200 Riverside Boulevard in the Upper West Side neighborhood of Manhattan. The seller of the property was 200 Riverside Parking LLC, a subsidiary of Icon Parking Systems. The seller has no material relationship with us, our operating partnership, our sponsor or advisor or any of their respective affiliates.

Capitalization

The contract purchase price of the property was $9.0 million, exclusive of closing costs. We funded 100% of the purchase price with proceeds from this offering.

Major Tenants/Lease Expiration

The property contains approximately 61,475 rentable square feet, which includes 284 parking spaces with three sub-grade levels. The property is currently 100% leased to the seller and 100% subleased by the seller to Hudson River Garage LLC. The term of the seller’s lease is 23 years, commencing in September 2014 and expiring in September 2037. The current annualized cash base rent under the lease is $0.5 million.

570 Seventh Avenue

On November 5, 2014, we acquired the fee simple interest in an institutional-quality office building located at 570 Seventh Avenue in Times Square, Manhattan.

The seller of the property was 570 7th Avenue Property Owner, L.L.C.. The seller has no material relationship with us, our operating partnership, our sponsor or advisor or any of their respective affiliates.

Capitalization

The contract purchase price of the property was $170.3 million, exclusive of closing costs. We funded 100% of the purchase price with proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering. We may seek financing for the property in the future from a lender yet to be identified. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure financing on terms that we deem favorable or at all.

Major Tenants/Lease Expiration

The property contains approximately 170,000 rentable square feet. The property is primarily used as office space for a variety of businesses and professional services firms and is also used for retail space on the lower floors. As a condition to closing, we entered into a one-year lease with The Carlyle Group. The Carlyle Group represents approximately 66% of annualized cash base rent based on leases in place at the time of the acquisition. The property is currently 76% leased.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The first paragraph under the heading “Distributions” on page 147 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“On May 22, 2014, our board of directors authorized, and we declared, distributions payable to stockholders of record each day during the applicable period at a rate equal to $0.00414383562 per day, based on a per share price of $25.00. The distributions began to accrue on June 13, 2014, which is the date we closed on our initial property acquisition. The distributions will be payable by the 5th day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month.

We intend to continue to accrue and pay distributions on a regular basis. We generally intend to fund such distributions from cash flow from operations, however, if we are unable to do so, which likely will be the case in the early stages of our operations, we will look to other sources as described above in “— Liquidity and Capital Resources.” While we generally intend to pay distributions from cash flows from operations, we also intend to pay distributions consistently once we declare our first distribution. We may fund distributions from unlimited amounts of any source, which may include borrowing funds, using proceeds from this offering, issuing additional securities or selling assets in order to fund distributions if we are unable to make distributions with our cash flows from our operations. Until we are generating operating cash flow sufficient to make distributions to our stockholders, we intend to pay all or a substantial portion of our distributions from the proceeds of this offering or from borrowings, including possible borrowings from our advisor or its affiliates. Moreover, we may pay distributions that exceed our FFO. Our board of directors may change our distribution policy in its sole discretion at any time, especially if the distributions paid in any period exceed our FFO. Distributions in excess of FFO may indicate that the level of distributions may not be sustainable going forward.

Our board’s determination of distributions in any particular period will be based on a number of factors, including FFO, our capital expenditure requirements, requirements of Maryland law and the annual distribution requirements necessary to maintain our REIT status under the Code. As a result, our distribution rate and payment frequency may vary from time to time. However, to qualify as a REIT, we must annually distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for distributions paid and excluding net capital gain. Each distribution will be accompanied by a notice which sets forth: (a) the record date; (b) the amount per share that will be distributed; (c) the equivalent annualized yield; (d) the amount and percentage of the distributions paid from operations, offering proceeds and other sources; and (e) for those investors participating in the DRIP, a statement that a distribution statement will be provided in lieu of a check. During the early stages of our operations, we may declare distributions in excess of cash flow from operations.”

Prior Performance Summary

The following disclosure hereby replaces in their entirety the sections “Prior Investment Programs,” “Summary Information” and “Programs of Our Sponsor” contained on pages 153 – 163 of the Prospectus.

Prior Investment Programs

The information presented in this section represents the historical experience of the real estate programs managed or sponsored over the last ten years by Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane, the principals of our sponsor. While our targeted investment focus will primarily be on freestanding, commercial real estate properties, these prior real estate programs have a targeted investment focus primarily on commercial real estate, specifically net lease properties. In connection with ARCT’s internalization and listing on The NASDAQ Global Select Market in March 2012, Mr. Kahane has resigned from the various officer positions he held with the sponsor and its affiliates. Investors should not assume that they will experience returns, if any, comparable to those experienced by investors in such prior real estate programs. The prior performance of real estate investment programs sponsored by affiliates of Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane and our advisor may not be indicative of our future results. For an additional description of this risk, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to an Investment in American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. — We are a company with a limited operating history, which makes our future performance difficult to predict.” The information summarized

TABLE OF CONTENTS

below is current as of December 31, 2013 (unless specifically stated otherwise) and is set forth in greater detail through the year ended December 31, 2013, in the Prior Performance Tables included in this prospectus. In addition, we will provide upon request to us and without charge, a copy of the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC by any public program within the last 24 months, and for a reasonable fee, a copy of the exhibits filed with such report. We intend to conduct this offering in conjunction with future offerings by one or more public and private real estate entities sponsored by American Realty Capital and its affiliates. To the extent that such entities have the same or similar investment strategies or objectives as ours, such entities may be in competition with us for the investments we make. See the section entitled “Conflicts of Interest” in this prospectus for additional information.

Summary Information

During the period from August 2007 (inception of the first program) to December 31, 2013, affiliates of our advisor have sponsored 15 public programs, all of which had raised funds as of December 31, 2013. From August 2007 (inception of the first public program) to December 31, 2013, our public programs, which include our company, ARCT, ARCT III, ARCT IV, PE-ARC, ARC-HT, ARCT V, NYRT, DNAV, ARCG, ARCP, ARC RCA, RFT, ARC HT II, PE-ARC II and HOST had raised $14.0 billion from 238,250 investors in public offerings. The public programs purchased 4,121 properties with an aggregate purchase price of $17.7 billion in 49 states, Washington D.C. and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom. The investment objectives of each of these public programs are substantially identical to our investment objectives of (1) paying attractive and stable cash distributions, (2) preserving and returning stockholders’ capital contributions and (3) realizing appreciation in the value of our investments.

Programs of Our Sponsor

American Realty Capital Trust, Inc.

ARCT, incorporated on August 17, 2007, was a Maryland corporation that qualified as a REIT. ARCT was formed to acquire a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate, primarily freestanding single-tenant properties net leased to credit worthy tenants on a long-term basis. In January 2008, ARCT commenced an initial public offering on a “best efforts” basis to sell up to 150.0 million shares of common stock, excluding

TABLE OF CONTENTS

25.0 million shares issuable pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan, offered at a price of $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts. In March 2008, ARCT commenced real estate operations. ARCT’s initial public offering closed in July 2011, having raised $1.7 billion in gross proceeds from the sale of 179.4 million shares of common stock and incurred, cumulatively to that date, $198.0 million in offering costs, commissions and dealer manager fees for the sale of its common stock. ARCT operated as a non-traded REIT through February 29, 2012. Effective as of March 1, 2012, ARCT internalized the management services previously provided by American Realty Capital Advisors, LLC and its affiliates, as a result of which ARCT became a self-administered REIT managed full-time by its own management team, or the Internalization. Concurrent with the Internalization, ARCT listed its common stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “ARCT,” or the Listing. In connection with the Listing, ARCT offered to purchase up to $220.0 million in shares of common stock from its stockholders, pursuant to a modified “Dutch Auction” cash tender offer, or the Tender Offer. As a result of the Tender Offer, in April 2012, ARCT had purchased 21.0 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $10.50 per share, for an aggregate cost of $220.0 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Tender Offer. On September 6, 2012, ARCT entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Realty Income Corporation, a Maryland corporation and its subsidiary, which was subsequently amended on January 6, 2013. The merger was approved by both companies’ boards of directors and was subsequently approved by both companies’ stockholders on January 16, 2013. The merger closed on January 22, 2013, pursuant to which ARCT merged with and into a subsidiary of Realty Income Corporation and trading of ARCT’s shares was suspended at market close on that date.

Summary of Partnership Agreement of Our Operating Partnership

The first two paragraphs under the heading “Class B Units” on page 210 of the Prospectus are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“Subject to the approval of our board of directors, asset management subordinated participation interests to the advisor are paid in the form of Class B Units. Class B Units represent limited partnership interests in the operating partnership intended to be profits interests. We, as the general partner, will cause the operating partnership to issue Class B Units to the advisor in connection with the services provided by the advisor under the advisory agreement to manage the assets of the operating partnership. The Class B Units are issuable quarterly in arrears subject to the approval of the general partner’s board of directors. The number of Class B Units issuable to the advisor quarterly is equal to: (i) the product of (y) 0.1875% multiplied by (z) the cost of our assets (until the NAV pricing date, then the lower of the cost of assets and the fair value of our assets); divided by (ii) the value of one share of common stock as of the last day of such calendar quarter, which is equal initially to $22.50 (the primary offering price minus selling commissions and dealer manager fees) and, after the NAV pricing date, to per share NAV.

Class B Units are subject to forfeiture until such time as: (a) the value of the operating partnership's assets plus all distributions made equals or exceeds the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6.0% cumulative, pretax, non-compounded annual return thereon, or the “economic hurdle”; (b) any one of the following events occurs concurrently with or subsequently to the achievement of the economic hurdle described above: (i) a listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange; (ii) a transaction to which we or our operating partnership shall be a party, as a result of which OP Units or our common stock shall be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of such securities shall otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof; or (iii) the termination of the advisory agreement without cause; and (c) the advisor pursuant to the advisory agreement is providing services to us immediately prior to the occurrence of an event of the type described in clause (b) above, unless the failure to provide such services is attributable to the termination without cause of the advisory agreement by an affirmative vote of a majority of our independent directors after the economic hurdle described above has been met.”

The following disclosure is added as the third sentence under the heading “Special Limited Partner” on page 215 of the Prospectus.

“The special limited partner is entitled to receive subordinated distributions in connection with the sale of the assets of our operating partnership, upon a listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange, other liquidity events and the termination of the advisory agreement.”

Plan of Distribution

The second paragraph under the heading “Dealer Manager and Compensation We Will Pay for the Sale of Our Shares” on page 219 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“We or our affiliates also may provide permissible forms of non-cash compensation pursuant to FINRA Rule 2310(c) to registered representatives of our dealer manager and the selling group participants, such as:

an occasional meal, a ticket to a sporting event or the theater, or comparable entertainment which is neither so frequent nor so extensive as to raise any question of propriety and is not preconditioned on achievement of a sales target;

gifts, such as golf shirts, fruit baskets, cakes, chocolates, a bottle of wine, or tickets to a sporting event, the value of which shall not exceed an aggregate of $100 per annum per participating salesperson, or be pre-conditioned on achievement of a sales target.

The value of such items of non-cash compensation to participating broker-dealers will be considered underwriting compensation in connection with this offering and will be paid from the dealer manager fee or reduce the dealer manager fee if paid directly by us or our advisor.”

The first sentence under the heading “Volume Discounts” on page 220 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“We will offer certain volume, or quantity, discounts resulting in a reduced share purchase price to “single purchasers” (as defined herein) on orders of more than $500,000 and selling commissions paid to our dealer manager and participating broker-dealers will be reduced by the amount of the share purchase price discount.”

The last two paragraphs under the heading “Volume Discounts” on page 223 of the Prospectus are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

“California residents should be aware that quantity discounts will not be available in connection with the sale of shares made to California residents to the extent such discounts do not comply with the provisions of Rule 260.140.51 adopted pursuant to the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968. Pursuant to this Rule, quantity discounts can be made available to California residents only in accordance with the following conditions:

there can be no variance in the net proceeds to us from the sale of the shares to different purchasers of the same offering;
all purchasers of the shares must be informed of the available quantity discounts;
the same quantity discounts must be allowed to all purchasers of all shares which are part of the offering;
the minimum amount of shares on the purchase of which quantity discounts are allowed cannot be less than $10,000;
the variance in the price of the shares must result solely from a different range of commissions, and all discounts must be based on a uniform scale of commissions;
no discounts are allowed to any group of purchasers; and
quantity discounts are allowed by a showing that the aggregate amount thereof does not exceed, and that the measure of such discounts is reasonably related to, the saving of selling expense to be achieved in the sale of the quantities of shares for which such discounts are allowed.

Accordingly, quantity discounts for California residents will be available in accordance with the foregoing table of uniform discount levels based on dollar volume of shares purchased, but no discounts are allowed to any group of purchasers, and no subscriptions may be aggregated as part of a combined order for purposes of determining the number of shares purchased.”

The first paragraph under the heading “Subscription Process” on page 223 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following disclosure.

Note 1 — Organization

American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 19, 2013 as a Maryland corporation and intends to elect and qualify to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2014. On April 24, 2014, the Company commenced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) on a “reasonable best efforts” basis of up to 30.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a price of $25.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-194135) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement also covers up to 10.5 million shares available pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) under which the Company’s common stockholders may elect to have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $23.75 per share, which is equal to 95% of the offering price in the IPO.

On May 29, 2014, the Company received and accepted subscriptions in excess of the minimum offering amount for the IPO of $2.0 million in shares, broke general escrow and issued shares of common stock to initial investors who were admitted as stockholders of the Company. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had 13.9 million shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares, and had received total gross proceeds from the IPO of $342.6 million. As of September 30, 2014, the value of all share issuances and subscriptions of common stock outstanding was $346.1 million based on a per share value of $25.00 (or $23.75 per share for shares issued under the DRIP). Until the NAV pricing date (as described below), the per share purchase price in the IPO will be up to $25.00 per share (including the maximum allowed to be charged for commissions and fees) and shares issued under the DRIP will be equal to $23.75 per share, which is equal to 95% of the offering price in the primary offering. Beginning with the NAV pricing date (as described below), the per share price for shares in the IPO and under the DRIP will vary quarterly and will be equal to the net asset value (“NAV”) per share, as determined by New York City Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), plus applicable commissions and fees, in the case of the primary offering, and the per share purchase price in the DRIP will be equal to the NAV per share. The NAV pricing date means the date on which the Company files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (or Annual Report on Form 10-K should such filing constitute the applicable quarterly financial filing) with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the second full fiscal quarter following April 24, 2016, which is two years from the effective date of the IPO. The Company reserves the right to reallocate shares covered in the Registration Statement between the primary offering and the DRIP.

The Company was formed to invest its assets in properties in the five boroughs of New York City, with a focus on Manhattan. The Company may also purchase certain real estate assets that accompany office properties, including retail spaces and amenities, as well as hospitality assets, residential assets and other property types exclusively in New York City. All such properties may be acquired and owned by the Company alone or jointly with another party. As of September 30, 2014, the Company owned three properties consisting of 132,552 rentable square feet, which were 100.0% leased, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 10.6 years.

Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through New York City Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner and holds substantially all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP (“OP units”). New York City Special Limited Partner, LLC (the “Special Limited Partner”), an entity controlled by the Company’s sponsor, American Realty Capital III, LLC, expects to contribute $2,020 to the OP in exchange for 90 units of limited partner interest in the aggregate OP ownership, which will represent a nominal percentage of the aggregate OP ownership. A holder of OP units has the right to convert OP units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the option of the OP, a corresponding number of

shares of the Company’s common stock, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the OP, provided, however, that such OP units must have been outstanding for at least one year. The remaining rights of the limited partners in the OP 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 no direct employees. The Advisor has been retained by the Company to manage the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Company has retained New York City Properties, LLC (the “Property Manager”) to serve as the Company’s property manager. Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”) serves as the dealer manager of the IPO. The Advisor, Property Manager and Dealer Manager are under common control with the parent of American Realty Capital III, LLC (“the Sponsor”), as a result of which they are related parties, and each of which has received or will receive compensation, fees and expense reimbursements for services related to the IPO and the investment and management of the Company’s assets. The Advisor, Special Limited Partner, Property Manager and Dealer Manager have also received or will also receive fees, distributions and other compensation during the offering, acquisition, operational and liquidation stages.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year or any subsequent interim period.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013, which are included in Supplement No. 5, dated September 15, 2014, to the prospectus, dated April 24, 2014. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 other than the updates described below.

Development Stage Company

On May 29, 2014, the Company raised proceeds sufficient to break general escrow in connection with its IPO. The Company received and accepted aggregate subscriptions in excess of the minimum offering amount in the IPO of $2.0 million, broke general escrow and issued shares of common stock to the Company’s initial investors who were admitted as stockholders of the Company. The Company acquired its first property and commenced real estate operations on June 13, 2014, and as of such date, is no longer considered to be a development stage company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the revised guidance, in addition to other disclosure requirements, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, disposed of by sale or other than by sale. The Company has adopted the provisions

of this guidance effective January 1, 2014, and has applied the provisions prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued revised guidance relating to revenue recognition. Under the revised guidance, an entity is required to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The revised guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted under GAAP. The revised guidance allows entities to apply the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method upon adoption. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

Note 4 — Investment Securities

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had investments in a real estate income fund with a fair value of $0.5 million. The Company held no investment securities as of December 31, 2013. The real estate income fund is managed by an affiliate of the Sponsor (see Note 8 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements). These investments are considered to be available-for-sale securities and therefore increases or decreases in the fair value of these investments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets unless the securities are considered to be other than temporarily 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 September 30, 2014:

Note 5 — 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 instrument. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the instrument, as applicable, including the period to maturity, and may use observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities, and unobservable inputs, such as expected volatility. 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 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.

The Company has an investment in a real estate income fund that is traded in active markets and therefore, due to the availability of quoted market prices in active markets, classified this investment as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents information about the Company’s asset measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which that instrument falls. The Company had no assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013.

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 levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Financial instruments not carried at fair value

The Company is required to disclose at least annually the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash, receivables for sale of common stock, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and distributions payable approximates their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheet due to their short-term nature.

Note 6 — Common Stock

The Company had 13.9 million shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares, and had received total proceeds of $342.6 million as of September 30, 2014. The Company had no shares of common stock outstanding and had received no proceeds as of December 31, 2013.

On May 22, 2014, the Company’s board of directors authorized, and the Company declared, a distribution payable to stockholders of record each day during the applicable period at a rate equal to $0.0041438356 per day based on a price of $25.00 per share of common stock. The distributions began to accrue on June 13, 2014, which date represents the closing of the Company’s initial property acquisition. The 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. Distribution payments are dependent on the availability of funds. The board of directors may reduce the amount of distributions paid or suspend distributions payments at any time and therefore distribution payments are not assured.

The Company has a Share Repurchase Program (“SRP”) that enables stockholders, subject to certain conditions and limitations, to sell their shares to the Company. Under the SRP, stockholders may request that the Company repurchase all or any portion of their shares of common stock, if such repurchase does not impair the Company’s capital or operations. Repurchases of shares of the Company’s common stock, when requested, are at the Company’s sole discretion and generally will be made quarterly. As of September 30, 2014, no shares of common stock have been repurchased or requested to be repurchased. The Company funds repurchases from proceeds from the sale of common stock pursuant to the DRIP.

Note 7 — 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.

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. As of September 30, 2014, 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 8 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements

As of September 30, 2014, an entity wholly owned by the Sponsor owned 8,888 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The entity did not own any shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2013. The Sponsor and its affiliates may incur and pay costs and fees on behalf of the Company. The Company did not have any payables to the Sponsor as of September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $0.5 million invested in a real estate income fund managed by an affiliate of the Sponsor (see Note 4 — Investment Securities). There is no obligation to purchase any additional shares and the shares can be sold at any time.

Fees Paid in Connection with the IPO

The Dealer Manager is paid fees and compensation in connection with the sale of the Company’s common stock in the IPO. The Dealer Manager is paid a selling commission of up to 7.0% of the per share purchase price of offering proceeds before reallowance of commissions earned by participating broker-dealers. In addition, the Dealer Manager is paid up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares as a dealer manager fee. The Dealer Manager may reallow its dealer manager fee to participating broker-dealers. A

participating broker-dealer may elect to receive a fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares (not including selling commissions and dealer manager fees) by such participating broker-dealer, with 2.5% thereof paid at the time of such sale and 1.0% thereof paid on each anniversary of the closing of such sale up to and including the fifth anniversary of the closing of such sale. If this option is elected, the dealer manager fee will be reduced to 2.5% of gross proceeds (not including selling commissions and dealer manager fees).

The Company is responsible for paying offering and related costs from the IPO, excluding commissions and dealer manager fees, up to a maximum of 2.0% of gross proceeds received from the IPO, measured at the end of the IPO. Offering costs in excess of the 2.0% cap as of the end of the IPO are the Advisor’s responsibility. As of September 30, 2014, offering and related costs did not exceed 2.0% of gross proceeds received from the IPO.

After the general escrow break, the Advisor and the Dealer Manager elected to cap cumulative offering costs for the IPO, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, incurred by the Company, net of unpaid amounts, to 15% of gross common stock proceeds during the offering period of the IPO. As of September 30, 2014, cumulative offering costs, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, were $36.7 million. Cumulative offering costs, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, net of unpaid amounts, were less than the 15% threshold as of September 30, 2014.

Fees Paid in Connection With the Operations of the Company

The Advisor is paid an acquisition fee of 1.5% of the contract purchase price of each acquired property and 1.5% of the amount advanced for a loan or other investment. The Advisor is also reimbursed for expenses actually incurred related to selecting, evaluating and acquiring assets on the Company’s behalf, regardless of whether the Company actually acquires the related assets. Specifically, the Company pays the Advisor or its affiliates for any services provided for which they incur investment-related expenses, or insourced expenses. Such insourced expenses are fixed initially at 0.50% of the purchase price of each property and 0.50% of the

amount advanced for each loan or other investment, which is paid at the closing of each such investment. The Advisor is also reimbursed for legal expenses incurred in the process of acquiring properties, in an amount not to exceed 0.10% of the contract purchase price. In addition, the Company also pays third parties, or reimburses the Advisor for any investment-related expenses due to third parties. In no event will the total of all acquisition fees, acquisition expenses and any financing coordination fees (as described below) payable with respect to the Company’s portfolio of investments exceed 4.5% of the contract purchase price or 4.5% of the amount advanced for all loans or other investments. Once the proceeds from the primary offering have been fully invested, the aggregate amount of acquisition fees and any financing coordination fees may not exceed 4.5% 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 provides services in connection with the origination or refinancing of any debt that the Company obtains and uses 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 pays the Advisor a financing coordination fee equal to 0.75% of the amount made available or outstanding under such financing, subject to certain limitations.

For its asset management services, the Company causes the OP to issue restricted Class B units in the OP (“Class B Units”) to the Advisor on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to: (i) the cost of assets (or the lower of the cost of assets and the applicable quarterly NAV multiplied by 0.1875% once the Company begins calculating NAV) multiplied by 0.1875% divided by (ii) the value of one share of common stock as of the last day of such calendar quarter, which is equal initially to $22.50 (the primary offering price minus selling commissions and dealer manager fees) and, at such time as the Company calculates NAV, to per share NAV. The Class B Units are intended to be profits interests and will vest, and no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as: (a) the value of the OP’s assets plus all distributions made by the Company to its stockholders equals or exceeds the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6.0% cumulative, pretax, non-compounded annual return thereon, or the “economic hurdle;” (b) any one of the following events occurs concurrently with or subsequently to the achievement of the economic hurdle described above: (i) a listing of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange; (ii) a transaction to which the Company or the OP is a party, as a result of which OP units or the Company’s common stock are or will be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of such securities will otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof; or (iii) the termination of the advisory agreement without cause by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s independent directors after the economic hurdle has been met; and (c) the Advisor pursuant to the advisory agreement is providing services to the Company immediately prior to the occurrence of an event of the type described in clause (b) above, unless the failure to provide such services is attributable to the termination without cause of the advisory agreement by an affirmative vote of the majority of the Company’s independent directors after the economic hurdle has been met (the “performance condition”). The value of issued Class B Units will be determined and expensed when the Company deems the achievement of the performance condition to be probable. As of September 30, 2014, the Company cannot determine the probability of achieving the performance condition. 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 will be expensed in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss until the performance condition is considered probable to occur. As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s board of directors has approved the issuance of 607 Class B Units in connection with the arrangement.

Unless the Company contracts with a third party, the Company pays the Property Manager a property management fee equal to: (i) for non-hotel properties, 4.0% of gross revenues from the properties managed, plus market-based leasing commissions; and (ii) for hotel properties, a market-based fee based on a percentage

of gross revenues. The Company also reimburses the Property Manager for property-level expenses. The Property Manager may subcontract the performance of its property management and leasing services duties to third parties and pay all or a portion of its property management fee to the third parties with whom it contracts for these services.

The Company reimburses the Advisor’s costs of providing administrative services, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which the Company’s operating expenses at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of (a) 2.0% of average invested assets and (b) 25.0% of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debt, impairments or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period. Additionally, the Company reimburses the Advisor for personnel costs in connection with other services during the operational stage; however, the Company may not reimburse the Advisor for personnel costs in connection with services for which the Advisor receives acquisition fees or real estate commissions.

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

The Company will pay to the Advisor an annual subordinated performance fee calculated on the basis of the Company’s return to stockholders, payable annually in arrears, such that for any year in which investors receive payment of 6.0% per annum, the Advisor will be entitled to 15.0% of the excess return, provided that the amount paid to the Advisor does not to exceed 10.0% of the aggregate return for such year, and that the amount paid to the Advisor will not be paid unless investors receive a return of capital contributions. This fee will be paid only upon the sale of assets, distributions or other event which results in the return on stockholders’ capital exceeding 6.0% per annum. No subordinated performance fees were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The Company will pay a brokerage commission to the Advisor or its affiliates on the sale of property, not to exceed the lesser of 2.0% of the contract sale price of the property and 50.0% 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 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 are provided in connection with the sale. No such fees were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Note 8 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements  – (continued)

Upon a sale of all or substantially all assets, the Special Limited Partner will receive a subordinated distribution from the OP equal to 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. The Special Limited Partner will not be entitled to the subordinated participation in net sale proceeds unless the Company’s investors have received a return of their capital plus a 6.0% cumulative non-compounded annual return on their capital contributions. No such distributions were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

If the Company’s shares of common stock are listed on a national exchange, the Special Limited Partner will receive a subordinated incentive listing distribution from the OP equal to 15.0% of the amount by which the Company’s market value plus distributions exceeds the aggregate capital contributed by investors plus an amount equal to a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded annual return to investors. The Special Limited Partner will not be entitled to the subordinated incentive listing distribution unless investors have received a return of their capital plus a return equal to an annual 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded return on their capital contributions. No such distributions were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Upon termination or non-renewal of the advisory agreement with or without cause, the Special Limited Partner will be entitled to receive distributions from the OP equal to 15.0% of the amount by which the sum of the Company’s market value plus distributions exceeds the sum of the aggregate capital contributed by investors plus an amount equal to an annual 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded return to investors. The Advisor may elect to defer its right to receive a subordinated distribution upon termination until either a listing on a national securities exchange or other liquidity event occurs.

Note 9 — Economic Dependency

Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage the Advisor, its affiliates and entities under common ownership with the Advisor 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, transfer agency services, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services, transaction management services and investor relations.

As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon the Advisor and its affiliates. In the event that the Advisor and its affiliates are unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company will be required to find alternative providers of these services.

Note 10 — Share-Based Compensation

Restricted Share Plan

The Company has an employee and director incentive restricted share plan (the “RSP”), which provides for the automatic grant of 1,333 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. 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 provides the Company with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to the Company’s directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has 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 total number of common shares granted under the RSP shall not exceed 5.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares

of common stock on a fully diluted basis at any time and in any event will not exceed 1.5 million shares (as such number may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and similar events).

Restricted share awards entitle the recipient to receive shares of common stock from the Company under terms that provide 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 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. As of September 30, 2014, there were 3,999 unvested restricted shares issued to independent directors under the RSP at $22.50 per share. There were no such restricted shares outstanding as of December 31, 2013. The fair value of the shares is expensed over the vesting period of five years. Compensation expense related to restricted stock was approximately $4,000 and $8,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $0.1 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested restricted share awards granted under the Company’s RSP.

Other Share-Based Compensation

The Company may issue common stock in lieu of cash to pay fees earned by the Company’s directors at the respective director’s election. There are no restrictions on the shares issued. There were no shares of common stock issued in lieu of cash during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Note 12 — Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and determined that there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to disclosures in the consolidated financial statements except for the following transactions:

Sales of Common Stock

As of October 31, 2014, the Company had 17.6 million shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares and shares issued pursuant to the DRIP from total gross proceeds from the IPO and the DRIP of $436.8 million. As of October 31, 2014, the aggregate value of all share issuances was $440.6 million based on a per share value of $25.00 (or $23.75 per share for shares issued under the DRIP).

Total capital raised to date, including shares issued under the DRIP, is as follows:

Acquisitions

On November 5, 2014, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the OP, completed the acquisition of the fee simple interest in an institutional quality office building (the “Property”) located at 570 Seventh Avenue in Times Square, Manhattan.

The contract purchase price of the Property was $170.3 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Company funded the purchase price with proceeds from the IPO.

Management Update

On November 11, 2014, in light of his recent appointment as chief executive officer of RCS Capital Corporation, Edward M. Weil, Jr. resigned from his roles as treasurer and secretary of the Company, effective as of that same date. Mr. Weil did not resign pursuant to any disagreement with the Company. Simultaneously with Mr. Weil’s resignation, the Company’s board of directors appointed Gregory W. Sullivan, currently the chief financial officer and chief operating officer of the Company, to serve as the Company’s treasurer. Mr. Sullivan will also continue to serve in his capacity as chief financial officer and chief operating officer of the Company. Also simultaneously with Mr. Weil’s resignation, the Company’s board of directors appointed Michael A. Happel, currently the president of the Company, to serve as the Company’s secretary. Mr. Happel will also continue to serve in his capacity as president of the Company.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements of American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, including, as required by context, New York City Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “OP,” and its subsidiaries. The Company is externally managed by New York City Advisors, LLC (our “Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to those terms in “Part I — Financial Information” included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and contained herein.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.

The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:

We have a limited operating history which makes our future performance difficult to predict.
All of our executive officers are also officers, managers or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in the Advisor, our dealer manager, Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”) and other entities affiliated with AR Capital, LLC (“American Realty Capital”). As a result, our executive officers, our Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our Advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other investment programs advised by American Realty Capital affiliates and conflicts in allocating time among these investment programs and us. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions.
Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other American Realty Capital advised investment programs, our Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties and other investments and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, meaning that we could invest in less attractive assets, which could reduce the investment return to our stockholders.
No public market currently exists, or may ever exist, for shares of our common stock and our shares are, and may continue to be, illiquid.
If we and our Advisor are unable to find suitable investments, then we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives or pay distributions.
If we raise substantially less than the maximum offering in our initial public offering (the “IPO” or “our offering”), we may not be able to invest in a diversified portfolio of real estate assets, which may cause the value of an investment in us to vary more widely with the performance of specific assets.
We may be unable to pay or maintain cash distributions or increase distributions over time.
We are obligated to pay fees which may be substantial to our Advisor and its affiliates.
We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants.

17


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions.
We are permitted to pay distributions from unlimited amounts of any source. Until substantially all of the proceeds from our IPO are invested, we may use proceeds from our IPO and financings to fund distributions until we have sufficient cash flows from operations. There are no established limits on the amount of net proceeds and borrowings that we may use to fund distribution payments, except in accordance with our organizational documents and Maryland law.
Any distributions may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in properties and other permitted investments and negatively impact the value of your investment.
We have not generated and may not generate cash flows sufficient to pay our distributions to stockholders, as such, we may be forced to borrow at higher rates or depend on our Advisor or our property manager, New York City Properties, LLC (the “Property Manager”) to waive fees or reimbursement of certain expenses and fees to fund our operations. There is no assurance that these entities will waive such amounts.
We are subject to risks associated with any dislocations or liquidity disruptions that may exist or occur in the credit markets of the United States from time to time.
We may fail to qualify, or continue to qualify, to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for United States federal income tax purposes, which would result in higher taxes, may adversely affect our operations and would reduce our net asset value (“NAV”) and cash available for distributions.
We may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act.
As of September 30, 2014, we only owned three properties and therefore have limited diversification.

Overview

We were incorporated on December 19, 2013 as a Maryland corporation and intend to elect and qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2014. On April 24, 2014, we commenced our IPO on a “reasonable best efforts” basis of up to 30.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a price of $25.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-194135) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement also covers up to 10.5 million shares available pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) under which our common stockholders may elect to have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock equal to $23.75 per share, which is equal to 95% of the offering price in the IPO.

On May 29, 2014, we received and accepted subscriptions in excess of the minimum offering amount for the IPO of $2.0 million in shares, broke general escrow and issued shares of common stock to our initial investors who were admitted as stockholders. As of September 30, 2014, we had 13.9 million shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares and had received total gross proceeds from the IPO of $342.6 million. As of September 30, 2014, the value of all share issuances and subscriptions of common stock outstanding was $346.1 million based on a per share value of $25.00 (or $23.75 per share for shares issued under the DRIP). Until the NAV pricing date (as described below) the per share purchase price in the IPO will be up to $25.00 per share (including the maximum allowed to be charged for commissions and fees) and shares issued under the DRIP will be equal to $23.75 per share, which is equal to 95% of the offering price in the IPO. Beginning with the NAV pricing date (as described below), the per share purchase price for shares in the IPO and under the DRIP will vary quarterly and will be equal to our NAV, as determined by our Advisor, plus applicable commissions and fees, in the case of the IPO, and the per share

18


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

purchase price in the DRIP will be equal to the NAV per share. The NAV pricing date means the date on which we file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (or Annual Report on Form 10-K should such filing constitute the applicable quarterly financial filing) with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the second full fiscal quarter following April 24, 2016, which is two years from the effective date of the IPO. We reserve the right to reallocate shares covered in the Registration Statement between the IPO and the DRIP.

We were formed to invest our assets in properties in the five boroughs of New York City, with a focus on Manhattan. We may also purchase certain real estate assets that accompany office properties, including retail spaces and amenities, as well as hospitality assets, residential assets and other property types exclusively in New York City. All such properties may be acquired and owned by us alone or jointly with another party. As of September 30, 2014, we owned three properties consisting of 132,552 rentable square feet, which were 100.0% leased, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 10.6 years.

Substantially all of our business is conducted through the OP. We are the sole general partner and hold substantially all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP (“OP units”). New York City Special Limited Partner, LLC (the “Special Limited Partner”), an entity wholly owned by our sponsor, American Realty Capital III, LLC (the “Sponsor”), expects to contribute $2,020 to the OP in exchange for 90 units of limited partner interest in the aggregate OP ownership, which will represent a nominal percentage of the aggregate OP ownership. A holder of OP units has the right to convert OP units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of our common stock or, at the option of the OP, a corresponding number of shares of our common stock, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the OP, provided, however, that such OP units must have been outstanding for at least one year. The remaining rights of the limited partners in the OP 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.

We have no direct employees. The Advisor is our affiliated external advisor, which we have retained to manage our affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Property Manager has been retained to serve as our property manager. The Dealer Manager serves as the dealer manager of the IPO. The Advisor, the Property Manager and the Dealer Manager are under common control with the parent of the Sponsor, as a result of which they are related parties, and each of which have received or will receive compensation, fees and expense reimbursements for services related to the IPO and the investment and management of our assets. The Advisor, Special Limited Partner, Property Manager and Dealer Manager have received or will also receive fees, distributions and other compensation during the offering, acquisition, operational and liquidation stages.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. These significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies include:

Offering and Related Costs

Offering and related costs include all expenses incurred in connection with our IPO. Offering costs (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fees) include costs that may be paid by the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates on our behalf. These costs include but are not limited to (i) legal, accounting, printing, mailing, and filing fees; (ii) escrow service 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 a portion of the costs of its employees and other costs in connection with preparing supplemental sales materials and related offering activities. We are obligated to reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs paid by them on our behalf, provided that the Advisor is obligated to reimburse us to the extent organization and offering costs (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) incurred by us in our IPO exceed 2.0% of gross offering proceeds in the IPO. As a result, these costs are only our liability to the extent aggregate selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering costs do not exceed 12.0% of the gross proceeds determined at the end of the IPO.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Revenue Recognition

Our 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. Because many leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires us to record a receivable, and include in revenues, unbilled rent receivables that we will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. We defer the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. When we acquire a property, the terms of existing leases are considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purposes of this calculation.

We continually review 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, as applicable. In the event that the collectability of a receivable is in doubt, we record an increase in the allowance for uncollectible accounts or record a direct write-off of the receivable in the statement of operations.

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

Investments in Real Estate

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 to ten years for fixtures and building improvements, and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis. We are 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 at fair value for all periods presented to the extent the disposal of a component represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Properties that are intended to be sold are to be designated as “held for sale” on the balance sheet.

Long-lived assets are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate such an evaluation is warranted or when they are designated as held for sale. Valuation of real estate is considered a “critical accounting estimate” because the evaluation of impairment and the determination of fair values involve a number of management assumptions relating to future economic events that could materially affect the determination of the ultimate value, and therefore, the carrying amounts, of our real estate. Additionally, decisions regarding when a property should be classified as held for sale are also highly subjective and require significant management judgment.

Events or changes in circumstances that could cause an evaluation for impairment include the following:

a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset;
a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition;
a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;

20


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset; and
a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset.

We review our portfolio on an ongoing basis to evaluate the existence of any of the aforementioned events or changes in circumstances that would require us to test for recoverability. In general, our review of recoverability 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 expected, 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. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income.

Purchase Price Allocation

We allocate 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. We utilize 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 our analysis of comparable properties in our portfolio. Identifiable intangible assets 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 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 by us in our analysis of 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, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up period. We also estimate costs to execute a similar lease including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.

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 lease and management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place lease, 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, we initially 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 intangible assets related to customer relationships, as applicable, is measured based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics considered by us in determining these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationship 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.

21


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the initial term of the respective lease. The value of customer relationship intangibles, as applicable, is amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective lease, but in no event will the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of a 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, we utilize 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. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of its 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.

Derivative Instruments

We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our 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 our operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions.

We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we have 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 is attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of our risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the revised guidance, in addition to other disclosure requirements, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has had (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, disposed of by sale or other than by sale. We have adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2014, and have applied the provisions prospectively. This adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued revised guidance relating to revenue recognition. Under the revised guidance, an entity is required to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The revised guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted under GAAP. The revised guidance allows entities to apply the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method upon adoption. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was $1.4 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the volume of acquisition activity and the receipt of scheduled rent payments. Cash flows used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes $2.2 million of acquisition and transaction costs. Cash outflows included a net loss adjusted for non-cash items of $2.0 million (net loss of $2.5 million adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible real estate assets and share based compensation of $0.5 million) and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.2 million related to prepaid insurance and real estate taxes as well as unbilled rent receivables recorded in accordance with accounting for rental income on a straight-line basis. These cash outflows were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.6 million and an increase in other liabilities of $0.2 million.

The net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $92.6 million related to the acquisition of three properties with a contract purchase price of $92.3 million, partially offset by an assumed liability related to a tenant security deposit of $0.2 million, and $0.5 million in purchases of investment securities.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $301.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to proceeds, net of receivables, from the issuance of common stock of $337.4 million, partially offset by payments related to offering costs of $35.0 million and distributions to stockholders of $0.7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are offering and selling to the public in our IPO up to 30.0 million shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at $25.00 per share (subject to certain volume discounts). We also are offering up to 10.5 million shares of common stock under our DRIP, initially at $23.75 per share, which is 95% of the primary offering price. Beginning with the filing of the our second full fiscal quarterly financial filing with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, following April 24, 2016, which is two years from the effective date of the IPO, the per share purchase price in the IPO will vary quarterly and will be equal to the NAV per share, as determined by the Advisor, plus applicable commissions and fees and the per share purchase price in the DRIP will be equal to the NAV per share. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares of common stock we are offering between our primary offering and the DRIP.

On May 29, 2014, we received and accepted aggregate subscriptions in excess of the minimum offering amount of $2.0 million, broke general escrow and issued shares of common stock to our initial investors who were admitted as stockholders. We expect to continue to raise capital through the sale of our common stock and to utilize the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock and proceeds from secured financings to complete future property acquisitions. We acquired our first property and commenced real estate operations in June 2014. As of September 30, 2014, we owned three properties with an aggregate contract purchase price of $92.3 million. As of September 30, 2014, we had 13.9 million shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares and had received total gross proceeds from the IPO of $342.6 million.

Our principal demands for cash will be for acquisition costs, including the purchase price of any properties, loans and securities we acquire, improvement costs, the payment of our operating and administrative expenses, continuing debt service obligations, distributions to our stockholders and repurchases under our SRP (as defined below). Generally, we will fund our acquisitions from the net proceeds of our offering. We intend to acquire our assets with cash and mortgage or other debt, but we also may acquire assets free and clear of permanent mortgage or other indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price for the asset in cash or in OP units.

As of September 30, 2014, we had cash of $207.7 million. We expect to meet our future short-term operating liquidity requirements through a combination of net cash provided by our current property operations and the operations of properties to be acquired in the future, proceeds from the sale of common stock and proceeds from secured mortgage financings. Once we have used all the proceeds from the IPO to acquire properties, management expects that cash flow from our properties will be sufficient to fund operating expenses and the payment of our monthly distributions. Other potential future sources of capital include proceeds from public and private offerings, proceeds from the sale of properties and undistributed funds from operations.

We also expect to use the proceeds from secured and unsecured financings from banks or other lenders as a source of capital. Under our charter, the maximum amount of our total indebtedness may not exceed 300% of our total “net assets” (as defined in our charter) as of the date of any borrowing, which is generally expected to be approximately 75% of the cost of our investments; however, we may exceed that limit if such excess is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report following such borrowing along with justification for exceeding such limit. This charter limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets or investments. In addition, it is currently our intention to limit our aggregate borrowings to 40.0-50.0% of the aggregate fair market value of our assets (calculated after the close the IPO and once we have invested substantially all the proceeds of our IPO proceeds), unless borrowing a greater amount is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report following such borrowing along with justification for borrowing such a greater amount. This limitation, however, will not apply to individual real estate assets or investments. At the date of acquisition of each asset, we anticipate that the cost of investment for such asset will be substantially similar to its fair market value. However, subsequent events, including changes in the fair market value of our assets, could result in our exceeding these limits. As of September 30, 2014, we had not obtained any debt financing.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Once our NAV exceeds $1.0 billion, we intend to maintain 5% of the overall value of our portfolio in liquid assets. However, our stockholders should not expect that we will maintain liquid assets at or above this level. To the extent that we maintain borrowing capacity under a line of credit, such available amount will be included in calculating our liquid assets. Our Advisor will consider various factors in determining the amount of liquid assets we should maintain, including but not limited to our receipt of proceeds from sales of additional shares, our cash flow from operations, available borrowing capacity under a line of credit, if any, our receipt of proceeds from any asset sale, and the use of cash to fund repurchases. The board of directors will review the amount and sources of liquid assets on a quarterly basis.

Our board of directors has adopted a Share Repurchase Program (“SRP”) that enables our stockholders to sell their shares to us under limited circumstances. At the time a stockholder requests a repurchase, we may, subject to certain conditions, repurchase the shares presented for repurchase for cash to the extent we have sufficient funds available to fund such purchase. Repurchases of shares of our common stock, when requested, are at our sole discretion and generally will be made quarterly. There are limits on the number of shares we may repurchase under this program during any 12-month period. Further, we are only authorized to repurchase shares using proceeds secured from our DRIP in any given quarter. As of September 30, 2014, no shares of common stock have been repurchased or requested to be repurchased.

Acquisitions

On November 5, 2014, we, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of our OP, completed the acquisition of the fee simple interest in an institutional quality office building (the “Property”) located at 570 Seventh Avenue in Times Square, Manhattan.

The contract purchase price of the Property was $170.3 million, exclusive of closing costs. We funded the purchase price with proceeds from our IPO. We may seek financing for the Property after closing from a lender yet to be identified. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure financing on terms we deem favorable or at all.

The Property contains approximately 170,000 rentable square feet and is 76% leased as of the acquisition date. The Property’s largest tenant is the Carlyle Group, which represents approximately 66% of annualized cash rental income as of the acquisition date.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations (“FFO”), which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004 (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property and asset impairment writedowns, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or is requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Additionally, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions which can change over

26


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indicators exist and if the carrying value, or book value, exceeds the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows (including net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and any other ancillary cash flows at a property or group level under GAAP) from such asset. Determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted future cash flows from a property, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows, are taken into account in determining whether an impairment charge has been incurred. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, because impairments are based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges.

Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization and impairments, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. However, FFO and modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP FFO and MFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

There have been changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP that were put into effect in 2009 subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO, such as the change to expense as incurred rather than capitalize and depreciate acquisition fees and expenses. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. We are using the proceeds raised in our offering to, among other things, acquire properties. We intend to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our common stock on a national stock exchange, a merger or sale or another similar transaction) by the sixth anniversary of the completion of the offering. Thus, unless we raise, or recycle, a significant amount of capital after we complete our offering, we will not be continuing to purchase assets at the same rate as during our offering. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Investment Program Association (“IPA”), an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT having the characteristics described above. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to purchase a significant amount of new assets after we complete our offering. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring our properties and once our portfolio is stabilized. By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our IPO has been completed and our portfolios have been stabilized. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance after our IPO and acquisitions are completed with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance

27


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

after our IPO has been completed and our portfolio has been stabilized because it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (“Practice Guideline”) issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized.

Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition related expenses, amortization of above and below market leases, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments, deferred rent receivables and the adjustments of such items related to non-controlling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by us, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to investors. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which properties are acquired and negatively impact the returns earned on an investment in our shares, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. Therefore, MFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance, during periods in which properties are being acquired. MFFO that excludes such costs and expenses would only be comparable to that of non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activities and have similar operating characteristics as us. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities. In addition, we view fair value adjustments of derivatives as items which are unrealized. We view both gains and losses from dispositions of assets and fair value adjustments of derivatives as items which are not reflective of ongoing operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. The purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make distributions to our investors. Acquisition fees and expenses will not be reimbursed by our Advisor if there are no further proceeds from the sale of shares in our offering, and therefore such fees and expenses will need to be paid from either additional debt, operational earnings or cash flows, net proceeds from the sale of properties or from ancillary cash flows.

Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs with similar acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to acquire and manage properties. We believe that our use of MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that reflects certain characteristics that are unique to non-listed REITs, such as a limited and defined acquisition period. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can

28


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way. Accordingly, comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. MFFO has limitations as a performance measure while an offering is ongoing such as our offering where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value and there is no NAV determination during the offering stage and for a period thereafter. MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and NAV is disclosed. FFO and MFFO are not useful measures in evaluating NAV because impairments are taken into account in determining NAV but not in determining FFO or MFFO.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO.

The table below reflects the items deducted or added to net loss in our calculation of FFO and MFFO for the six months ended September 30, 2014. We do not calculate FFO or MFFO prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as we did not purchase our first property and commence real estate operations until June 2014.

(1) In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our Advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property.

(2) Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment. Some intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate portfolio.
(3) Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies which may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. Adjusting MFFO for these items provides useful supplemental information on the contractual cash flows and realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments and aligns results with management’s analysis and evaluation of operating performance.

Distributions

On May 22, 2014, our board of directors authorized, and we declared, a distribution payable to stockholders of record each day during the applicable period at a rate equal to $0.0041438356 per day based on a price of $25.00 per share of common stock. The distributions began to accrue on June 13, 2014, which date represents the closing of our initial property acquisition, and were first paid in July 2014. The 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.

The amount of distributions payable to our stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for distribution, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, as applicable, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Distribution payments are dependent on the availability of funds. Our board of directors may reduce the amount of distributions paid or suspend distribution payments at any time and therefore distribution payments are not assured.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, distributions paid to common stockholders totaled $2.0 million, inclusive of $1.3 million of distributions reinvested through the DRIP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, cash used to pay our distributions was generated from proceeds from the IPO and proceeds from the IPO which were reinvested in common stock issued under our DRIP.

The following table shows the sources for the payment of distributions to common stockholders for the periods presented:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, none of our distributions were covered by cash flows from operations. As shown in the table above, we funded distributions with proceeds from our IPO and proceeds from our IPO which were reinvested in common stock issued pursuant to our DRIP. To the extent we pay distributions in excess of cash flows provided by operations, your investment may be adversely impacted. Since inception, our cumulative distributions have exceeded our cumulative FFO. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Distributions paid from sources other than our cash flows from operations, particularly from proceeds of our IPO, will result in us having fewer funds available for the acquisition of properties and other real estate-related investments and may dilute our stockholders’ interests in us, which may adversely affect our ability to fund future distributions with cash flows from operations and may adversely affect our stockholders’ overall return.”

The following table compares cumulative distributions paid to cumulative net loss and cumulative cash flows used in operations (in accordance with GAAP) for the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) through September 30, 2014:

Election as a REIT

We intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, effective for our taxable year ending December 31, 2014. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. We intend to continue to operate in such a manner to qualify for taxation as a REIT, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. In order to qualify and continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income. REITs are also subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income and taxable REIT subsidiaries.

Inflation

We may be adversely impacted by inflation on any leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. In addition, we may be required to pay costs for maintenance and operation of properties which may adversely impact our results of operations due to potential increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with affiliates of our Sponsor, whereby we pay certain fees or reimbursements to our Advisor or its affiliates in connection with acquisition and financing activities, sales of common stock in our IPO, asset and property management services and reimbursement of operating and offering related costs. See Note 8 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to our financial statements included in this report for a discussion of the various related party transactions, agreements and fees.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or rates. As of September 30, 2014, we do not have any debt, but anticipate incurring debt in the future. Our interest rate risk management objectives with respect to our debt will be to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps and collars in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We will not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We do not anticipate having any material foreign operations and we do not expect to be exposed to material foreign currency fluctuations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and determined that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

No change occurred in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our potential risks and uncertainties are presented in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” contained in the prospectus as supplemented and included in our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-194135), as amended from time to time (the “Registration Statement”). There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Registration Statement, except as set forth below.

We rely significantly on five major tenants and therefore, are subject to tenant credit concentrations that make us more susceptible to adverse events with respect to this tenant.

As of September 30, 2014, Cornell University, TD Bank, N.A., Quik Park East 67th Street LLC, Gibson Guitar Corp. and 200 Riverside Parking LLC represented 44.5%, 18.6%, 15.3%, 10.9% and 10.7%, respectively, of our total annualized rental income on a straight-line basis. Therefore, the financial failure of any or all of these tenants is likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our financial condition. In addition, the values of these investments are driven by the credit quality of the underlying tenants, and an adverse change in the tenants’ financial conditions or a decline in the credit rating of such tenants may result in a decline in the value of our investments and have a material adverse effect on our results from operations.

Our stockholders’ interest in us may be diluted if the price we pay in respect of shares repurchased under our SRP exceeds the net asset value, at such time as we calculate NAV, of our shares.

The prices we may pay for shares repurchased under our SRP may exceed the net asset value of the shares at the time of repurchase, which may reduce the NAV of the remaining shares.

Distributions paid from sources other than our cash flows from operations, particularly from proceeds of our IPO, will result in us having fewer funds available for the acquisition of properties and other real estate-related investments and may dilute our stockholders’ interests in us, which may adversely affect our ability to fund future distributions with cash flows from operations and may adversely affect our stockholders’ overall return.

Our cash flows used in operations were $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and, as such, our distributions were paid with cash proceeds from our IPO and proceeds from our IPO which were reinvested in common stock issued under our DRIP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we paid distributions of $2.0 million, of which $0.7 million, or 36.4%, was funded from cash proceeds from the IPO and $1.3 million, or 63.6%, was funded from proceeds from our IPO which were reinvested in common stock issued under our DRIP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 cash flows from operations included an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.6 million, as reflected on the statement of cash flows. Accordingly, if these accounts payable and accrued expenses had been paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there would have been $0.6 million less in cash flows from operations available to pay distributions. Using offering proceeds to pay distributions, especially if the distributions are not reinvested through our DRIP, reduces cash available for investment in assets or other purposes, and reduces our per share stockholders’ equity. We may continue to use net offering proceeds to fund distributions.

We may not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to pay distributions. If we have not generated sufficient cash flows from our operations and other sources, such as from borrowings, the sale of additional securities, advances from our Advisor, and our Advisor’s deferral, suspension or waiver of its fees and expense reimbursements, to fund distributions, we may use the proceeds from our IPO. Moreover, our board of directors may change our distribution policy, in its sole discretion, at any time. Distributions made from offering proceeds are a return of capital to stockholders, from which we will have already paid offering expenses in connection with our IPO. We have not established any limit on the amount of proceeds from our IPO that may be used to fund distributions, except that, in accordance with our organizational documents and

33


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Maryland law, we may not make distributions that would: (1) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; (2) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus senior liquidation preferences, if any; or (3) jeopardize our ability to qualify as a REIT.

Funding distributions from borrowings could restrict the amount we can borrow for investments, which may affect our profitability. Funding distributions with the sale of assets or the proceeds of our IPO may affect our ability to generate additional operating cash flows. Funding distributions from the sale of additional securities could dilute each stockholder’s interest in us if we sell shares of our common stock or securities that are convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock to third-party investors. Payment of distributions from the mentioned sources could restrict our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, affect our profitability or affect the distributions payable to stockholders upon a liquidity event, any or all of which may have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares.

Recent disclosures made by American Realty Capital Properties, Inc., or ARCP, an entity previously sponsored by the parent of our Sponsor, regarding certain accounting errors have led to the temporary suspension of selling agreements by certain soliciting dealers.

ARCP recently filed a Form 8-K announcing that its audit committee had concluded that the previously issued financial statements and other financial information contained in certain public filings should no longer be relied upon as a result of certain accounting errors that were identified but intentionally not corrected, and other AFFO and financial statement errors that were intentionally made. These accounting errors resulted in the resignations of ARCP’s former chief financial officer and its former chief accounting officer. ARCP has initiated an investigation into these matters that is ongoing; no assurance can be made regarding the outcome of the investigation. ARCP’s former chief financial officer is one of the non-controlling owners of the parent of our Sponsor, but does not have a role in the management of our Sponsor’s or our business.

As a result of this announcement, a number of broker-dealer firms that had been participating in the distribution of offerings of public, non-listed REITs sponsored directly or indirectly by the parent of our Sponsor have temporarily suspended their participation in the distribution of those offerings, including ours. These temporary suspensions, as well as any future suspensions, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise additional capital. We cannot predict the length of time these temporary suspensions will continue, or whether such soliciting dealers will reinstate their participation in the distribution of our offering. In addition, future announcements by ARCP with respect to its ongoing investigation may have an adverse effect on our ability to raise capital. If we are unable to raise substantial funds, we will be limited in the number and type of investments we may make and the value of your investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific properties we acquire.

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

On January 2, 2014, we sold 8,888 shares of our common stock to the Special Limited Partner under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act at a price of $22.50 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $0.2 million, which was used to fund third-party offering costs.

On April 24, 2014, we commenced our IPO on a “reasonable best efforts” basis of up to 30.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a price of $25.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, pursuant to the Registration Statement filed with the SEC under the Securities Act, which became effective on April 24, 2014. The Registration Statement also covers 10.5 million shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the DRIP under which common stockholders may elect to have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2014, we have issued 13.9 million shares of our common stock, including unvested restricted shares, and received $342.6 million of offering proceeds. On May 29, 2014, we received and accepted subscriptions in excess of the minimum offering amount for the IPO of $2.0 million in shares, broke general escrow and issued shares of common stock to initial investors who were admitted as stockholders.

As of September 30, 2014, we have incurred $36.7 million of cumulative offering costs in connection with the issuance and distribution of our registered securities. As of September 30, 2014, cumulative offering costs included $4.1 million of offering costs reimbursements incurred from the Advisor and Dealer Manager, excluding commissions and dealer manager fees. The Advisor elected to cap cumulative offering costs incurred by us, net of unpaid amounts, to 15% of gross common stock proceeds during the offering period. Cumulative offering costs, net of unpaid amounts, were less than the 15% threshold as of September 30, 2014. Cumulative offering proceeds from the sale of common stock exceeded cumulative offering costs by $306.0 million at September 30, 2014.

We expect to invest our assets in properties in the five boroughs of New York City, with a focus on Manhattan. We may also originate or acquire first mortgage loans secured by real estate. As of September 30, 2014, we have used the net proceeds from our IPO to purchase three properties with an aggregate contract purchase price of $92.3 million.

We did not repurchase any of our securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders
American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. (a Maryland Corporation in the Development Stage) (the “Company”) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit 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 audit provides 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 New York City REIT, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2013 and their cash flows for the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2013

Note 1 — Organization and Proposed Business Operations

American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 19, 2013, as a Maryland corporation and intends to elect and qualify to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2014 or its first year of material operations. The Company intends to offer for sale a maximum of $750.0 million of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a price of $25.00 per share (including the maximum allowed to be charged for commissions and fees), on a “reasonable best efforts” basis, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 (the “Offering”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Offering also covers up to 10.5 million shares of common stock pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) under which common stock holders may elect to have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of common stock.

Until the NAV pricing date (described below), the per share price in the Offering will be up to $25.00 per share (including the maximum allowed to be charged for commissions and fees) and shares issued under the DRIP will be $23.75 per share, which is 95.0% of the primary offering price. Beginning with the filing of the Company’s second Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (or the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K should such filing constitute the second quarterly financial filing) with the SEC, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, following two years from the effective date of the Offering (the “NAV pricing date”), the per share purchase price in the Company’s primary offering and pursuant to the Company’s DRIP will vary quarterly and will be equal to the net asset value (“NAV”) as determined by New York City Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) divided by the number of shares as of the end of the business day immediately preceding the Company’s quarterly periodic filing (“NAV per share”). Additionally, applicable commissions and fees will be added to the per share purchase price for shares offered in the primary offering but not the DRIP. The Company reserves the right to reallocate shares covered in the Offering between the primary offering and the DRIP.

The Company was formed to invest a majority of its assets in office properties in the five boroughs of New York City, with a focus on Manhattan. The Company may also purchase certain real estate assets that accompany office properties, including retail spaces and amenities, as well as hospitality assets, residential assets and other property types exclusively in New York City. All such properties may be acquired and operated by the Company alone or jointly with another party. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has not acquired any real estate investments.

Substantially all of the Company’s business will be conducted through New York City Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner and will hold substantially all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP (“OP Units”). New York City Special Limited Partner, LLC (the “Special Limited Partner”), an entity wholly owned by American Realty Capital III, LLC (the “Sponsor”), expects to contribute $2,020 to the OP in exchange for 90 units of limited partner interest in the aggregate OP ownership, which will represent a nominal percentage of the aggregate OP ownership. The limited partner interests 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 common stock, as allowed by the limited partnership agreement of the OP. The remaining rights of the limited partner interests 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 no direct employees. The Company will retain the Advisor to manage its affairs on a day-to-day basis. New York City Properties, LLC (the “Property Manager”) will serve as the Company’s property manager. Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, will serve as the dealer manager of the Offering. The Advisor and the Property Manager are wholly owned entities of, and the Dealer Manager is under common ownership with, the Sponsor, as a result of which, they are related parties, and each of which will receive compensation, fees and expense reimbursements for services

related to the IPO and the investment and management of the Company’s assets. The Advisor, Special Limited Partner, Property Manager and Dealer Manager will receive fees, distributions and other compensation during the offering, acquisition, operational and liquidation stages.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Development Stage Company

The Company complies with the reporting requirements of development stage enterprises. Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, the Company must receive proceeds of $2.0 million in connection with the sale of common stock in order to break escrow and commence operations. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had not reached such threshold, purchased any properties or earned any income.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the OP. All inter-company accounts and transactions will be 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 considers 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. As of December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any interests in variable interest entities which required consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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. When the Company commences active real estate operations, management may make significant estimates regarding revenue recognition, purchase price allocations to record investments in real estate, and derivative financial instruments and hedging activities, as applicable.

Organizational Costs

Organizational costs include accounting, legal and regulatory fees incurred related to the formation of the Company. Organizational costs are expensed as incurred.

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.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

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 the Company’s 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 consolidated 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 can 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 by the Company in its 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 will include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at contract rates during the expected lease-up period. 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 will be 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 intangible assets related to customer relationship, 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 by the Company 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. 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 will utilize 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 will also consider 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.

Cash

Cash will include cash in bank accounts. The Company will deposit cash with high quality financial institutions. These deposits will be guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company up to an insurance limit.

Restricted Cash

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

Deferred Costs

Deferred costs may consist of deferred financing costs, deferred offering 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 offering costs represent professional fees, fees paid to various regulatory agencies, and other costs incurred in connection with registering to sell shares of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2013, such costs totaled approximately $35,000. On the day the Company commences its Offering, deferred offering costs will be reclassified to stockholder’s equity.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

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, as such costs arise during operations.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company will have a Share Repurchase Program (“SRP”) that enables stockholders to sell their shares to the Company. Under the SRP, stockholders may request that the Company redeem all or any portion, subject to certain minimum conditions described below, if such repurchase does not impair the Company’s capital or operations.

Except in connection with a stockholder’s death, disability, bankruptcy or other involuntary exigent circumstance, prior to the time that the Company’s shares are listed on a national securities exchange and until the Company begins to calculate its NAV, the repurchase price per share will depend on the length of time investors have held such shares as follows: after one year from the purchase date — the lower of $23.13 or 92.5% of the amount they actually paid for each share; after two years from the purchase date — the lower of $23.75 or 95.0% of the amount they actually paid for each share; after three years from the purchase date — the lower of $24.38 or 97.5% of the amount they actually paid for each share; and after four years from the purchase date — the lower of $25.00 or 100% of the amount they actually paid for each share (in each case, as adjusted for any stock distributions, combinations, splits and recapitalizations).

Once the Company begins to calculate its NAV, the price per share that the Company will pay to repurchase the Company’s shares of common stock on the last day of each quarter, will be the Company’s per share NAV of common stock for the quarter, calculated after the close of business on each day the Company makes its quarterly financial filing. Subject to limited exceptions, stockholders whose shares of the Company’s common stock are repurchased within the first four months from the date of purchase will be subject to a short-term trading fee of 2.0% of the aggregate per share NAV of the shares of common stock repurchased. Until the Company begins to calculate its NAV, the Company is only authorized to repurchase shares pursuant to the SRP using the proceeds received from the DRIP and will limit the amount spent to repurchase shares in a given quarter to the amount of proceeds received from the DRIP in that same quarter. In addition, the board of directors may reject a request for repurchase at any time. Due to these limitations, the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to accommodate all repurchase requests. Purchases under the SRP by the Company will be limited in any calendar year to 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year.

When a stockholder requests a repurchase and the repurchase is approved, the Company will reclassify such obligation from equity to a liability based on the settlement value of the obligation. Shares purchased under the SRP will have the status of authorized but unissued shares. As of December 31, 2013, no shares had been repurchased.

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 have the same rights and are treated in the same manner as if such shares were issued pursuant to the primary Offering. The board of directors may designate that certain cash or other distributions be excluded from the DRIP. The Company has the right to amend or suspend any aspect of the DRIP or terminate the DRIP with ten days’ notice to participants. Shares issued under the DRIP will be recorded to equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in the period distributions are declared. There have been no shares issued under the DRIP as of December 31, 2013.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

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 will record all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet 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 elects 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 statement 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. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments as of December 31, 2013.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues, which will be 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 will 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. Cost recoveries from tenants will be included in operating expense reimbursement in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable.

The Company will continually review receivables related to rent, unbilled rent receivables and cost recoveries 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 will record an increase in the Company’s allowance for uncollectible accounts or record a direct write-off of the receivable in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Offering and Related Costs

Offering and related costs include all expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s Offering. Offering costs (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) of the Company may be paid by the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates on behalf of the Company.

Offering costs will be reclassified from deferred costs to stockholders’ equity when the Company commences its Offering. Offering costs will include but are not limited to (i) legal, accounting, printing, mailing, and filing fees; (ii) escrow service 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 a portion of the costs 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 its offering exceed 2.0% of gross offering proceeds. As a result, these costs are only a liability of the Company to the extent aggregate selling commissions, the dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs do not exceed 12.0% of the gross proceeds determined at the end of offering (See Note 4 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements).

Share-Based Compensation

The Company expects to have a stock-based incentive award plan, which is accounted for under the guidance for share based payments. The expense for such awards will be 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 6 — Share-Based Compensation).

Income Taxes

The Company intends to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2014 or its first year of material operations. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax as long as it distributes all of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders. REITs are subject to various 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

The Company will calculate basic income per share by dividing net income for the period by weighted-average shares of its common stock outstanding for a respective period. Diluted income per share takes into account the effect of dilutive instruments, such as stock options and unvested restricted stock, but uses the average share price for the period in determining the number of incremental shares that are to be added to the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. For the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013, the calculation of net income per share is not presented because it is not a meaningful measure of the Company’s performance as the Company has not commenced operations.

Reportable Segments

The Company has 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 will comprise 100% of total consolidated revenues. Management evaluates the operating performance of the Company’s investments in real estate on an individual property level.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance clarifying the accounting and disclosure requirements for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount under the arrangement is fixed at the reporting date. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 3 — 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.

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 does not own any properties, 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 4 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements

The Advisor and its affiliates may incur and pay costs and fees on behalf of the Company. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had no payables to affiliated entities.

Fees Paid in Connection with the Offering

The Dealer Manager will receive fees and compensation in connection with the sale of the Company’s common stock. The Dealer Manager will receive a selling commission of up to 7.0% of the per share purchase price of the Company’s offering proceeds before reallowance of commissions earned by participating broker-dealers. In addition, it’s expected that the Dealer Manager will receive up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares, 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. A participating broker dealer may elect to receive a fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares (not including selling commissions and dealer manager fees) by such participating broker dealer, with 2.5% thereof paid at the time of such sale and 1.0% thereof paid on each anniversary of the closing of such sale up to and including the fifth anniversary of the closing of such sale. If this option is elected, it’s expected that the dealer manager fee will be reduced to 2.5% of gross proceeds (not including selling commissions and dealer manager fees). No such fees have been incurred from the Dealer Manager for the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013.

The Advisor and its affiliates may receive compensation and reimbursement for services relating to the Offering. All offering costs incurred by the Company or its affiliated entities on behalf of the Company will be charged to additional paid-in capital on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. During the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013, the Company incurred no offering cost reimbursements from the Advisor and Dealer Manager. The Company is responsible for offering and related costs from the Offering, excluding commissions and dealer manager fees, up to a maximum of 2.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering of common stock, measured at the end of the Offering. Offering costs in excess of the 2.0% cap as of the end of the Offering are the Advisor’s responsibility. As of December 31, 2013, offering and related costs were approximately $35,000.

Fees Paid in Connection With the Operations of the Company

The Advisor will receive an acquisition fee of 1.5% of the contract purchase price of each acquired property and 1.5% of the amount advanced for a loan or other investment. The Advisor may also be reimbursed for legal expenses incurred in the process of acquiring properties, in an amount not to exceed 0.1% of the contract purchase price. The Company may also reimburse the Advisor for expenses actually incurred related to selecting, evaluating and acquiring assets, regardless of whether the Company actually acquires the related assets. In addition, the Company will also pay third parties, or reimburse the Advisor for any investment-related expenses due to third parties. In no event will the total of all acquisition fees, acquisition expenses and any financing coordination fees (as described below) payable with respect to a particular investment exceed 4.5% of the contract purchase price or 4.5% of the amount advanced for a loan or other investment. Once the proceeds from the Offering have been fully invested, the aggregate amount of acquisition fees and any financing coordination fees (as described below) shall not exceed 1.9% of the contract purchase price for all the assets acquired. No acquisition fees or reimbursements were incurred or forgiven for the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013.

If the Advisor provides services in connection with the origination or refinancing of any debt that the Company obtains and uses 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 will pay the Advisor a financing coordination fee equal to 0.75% of the amount available and/or outstanding under such financing, subject to certain limitations. No financing coordination fees were incurred for the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013.

For its asset management services, the OP will issue restricted Class B units in the OP (“Class B Units”) to the Advisor on a quarterly basis in an amount equal: (i) the cost of assets multiplied by 0.1875% (or the lower of the cost of assets and the applicable quarterly NAV multiplied by 0.1875%, once the Company begins calculating NAV) divided by; (ii) the value of one share of common stock as of the last day of such calendar quarter, which is equal initially to $22.50 (the primary offering price minus selling commissions and dealer manager fees) and, at such time as the Company calculates NAV, to per share NAV. The Class B units are intended to be profits interests and will vest, and no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as: (x) 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 (y) 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. The value of issued Class B units will be determined and expensed, when the Company deems the achievement of the performance condition to be probable. The Advisor will receive 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 will be expensed in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss until the performance condition is considered probable to occur. No Class B units have been issued as of December 31, 2013.

Unless the Company contracts with a third party, the Company will pay the Property Manager a property management fee equal to: (i) for non-hotel properties, 4.0% of gross revenues from the properties managed, plus market-based leasing commissions; and (ii) for hotel properties, a market-based fee based on a percentage of gross revenues. The Company will also reimburse the Property Manager for property-level expenses. The Property Manager may subcontract the performance of its property management and leasing services duties to third parties and pay all or a portion of its property management fee to the third parties with whom it contracts for these services. No property management fees were incurred for the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013.

The Company will reimburse the Advisor’s costs of providing administrative services, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which the Company’s operating expenses at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of (a) 2.0% of average invested assets and (b) 25.0% of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debt, impairments or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period. Additionally, the Company will reimburse the Advisor for personnel costs in connection with other services during the operational stage; however, the Company may 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 incurred from the Advisor for providing services for the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013.

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

The Company may pay the Advisor an annual subordinated performance fee calculated on the basis of the Company’s return to stockholders, payable annually in arrears, such that for any year in which investors receive payment of 6.0% per annum, the Advisor will be entitled to 15.0% of the excess return, provided that the amount paid to the Advisor does not to exceed 10.0% of the aggregate return for such year, and that the amount paid to the Advisor will not be paid unless investors receive a return of capital contributions. This fee will be payable only upon the sale of assets, distributions or other event which results in the return on stockholders’ capital exceeding 6.0% per annum. No subordinated performance fees were incurred for the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013.

The Company will 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 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 for the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013.

If the Company’s shares of common stock are not listed on an exchange, the Special Limited Partner will receive distributions from the OP equal to 15.0% of remaining net sale proceeds after return of capital contributions to investors plus payment to investors of a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded return on the capital contributed by investors. The Special Limited Partner will not be entitled to the subordinated participation in net sale proceeds unless the Company’s investors have received a return of their capital plus a return equal to a 6.0% cumulative non-compounded return on their capital contributions. No such fees were incurred for the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013.

If the Company’s shares of common stock are listed on a national exchange, the Special Limited Partner will receive a subordinated incentive listing distribution from the OP equal to 15.0% of the amount by which the Company’s market value plus distributions exceeds the aggregate capital contributed by investors plus an amount equal to a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded annual return to investors. The Special Limited Partner will not be entitled to the subordinated incentive listing fee unless investors have received a return of their capital plus a return equal to 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded return on their capital contributions. No such distributions were incurred for the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013.

Note 4 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements  – (continued)

Upon termination or non-renewal of the advisory agreement with or without cause, the Special Limited Partner will be entitled to receive distributions from the OP equal to 15.0% of the amount by which the sum of the Company’s market value plus distributions exceeds the sum of the aggregate capital contributed by investors plus an amount equal to an annual 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded return to investors. The Advisor may elect to defer its right to receive a subordinated distribution upon termination until either a listing on a national securities exchange or other liquidity event occurs.

Note 5 — Economic Dependency

Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage the Advisor, its affiliates and entities under common ownership with the Advisor 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, transfer agency services, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services, transaction management services and investor relations.

As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon the Advisor and its affiliates. In the event that the Advisor and its affiliates are unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company will be required to find alternative providers of these services.

Note 6 — Share-Based Compensation

Restricted Share Plan

The Company expects to have an employee and director incentive restricted share plan (the “RSP”), which provides for the automatic grant of 1,333 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. Restricted stock issued to independent directors will vest over a five-year period following the first anniversary of the date of grant in increments of 20.0% per annum. The RSP provides the Company with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to the Company’s directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has 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 total number of common shares granted under the RSP shall not exceed 5.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis at any time and in any event will not exceed 1.5 million shares (as such number may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and similar events).

Restricted share awards entitle the recipient to receive shares of common stock from the Company under terms that provide 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 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 fair value of the shares will be expensed over the vesting period of five years. There have been no restricted shares granted for the period from December 19, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013 and therefore, no restricted stock expense has been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other Share-Based Compensation

The Company may issue common stock in lieu of cash to pay fees earned by the Company’s directors.
