Cash NOI Reconciliation American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc.

Confidential Material - Not for Distribution American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. 15 ▪ Cash net operating income ("Cash NOI") is a non - GAAP financial measure equal to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, less income from investment securities and interest, plus general and administrative expenses, acquisition an d transaction - related expenses, depreciation and amortization, other non - cash expenses and interest expense. In calculating Cash NOI, we also eliminate the effects of straight - lining of rent and the amortization of above and below market leases. Cash NOI should not be considered an a lternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity. ▪ We use Cash NOI internally as a performance measure and believe Cash NOI provides useful information to investors regarding o ur financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property le vel. Therefore, we believe Cash NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our real estate assets and to make decisions ab out resource allocations. Further, we believe Cash NOI is useful to investors as performance measures because, when compared across period s, Cash NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition activity on a n u nlevered basis. Cash NOI excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property's res ult s of operations. For example, interest expense is not linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and Cash NOI is not affected by whether the financing is at the property level or corporate level. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost ac counting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. Cash NOI presented by us may not be comparable to Ca sh NOI reported by other REITs that define Cash NOI differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operatin g r esults, Cash NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated financial statements.

Risk Factors There are risks associated with an investment in our Company. The following is a summary of some of these risks. For a discussion of the risks which should be considered in connection with our Company, see the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2017. ▪ 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 our advi sor , New York City Advisors, LLC (our "Advisor") and other entities affiliated with AR Global Investments, LLC (the successor business to AR Capital, LLC, "A R Global"); as a result, our executive officers, our Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts cr eat ed by our Advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other investor entities advised by AR Global affiliates, and conflicts in allocating ti me among these entities and us, which could negatively impact our operating results; ▪ We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of ou r t enants; ▪ We may not be able to achieve our rental rate objectives on new and renewal leases and our expenses could be greater, which m ay impact operations; ▪ Our properties may be adversely affected by economic cycles and risks inherent to the New York metropolitan statistical area ("M SA"), especially New York City; ▪ We are obligated to pay fees, which may be substantial, to our Advisor and its affiliates; ▪ We may fail to continue to qualify to be treated as a real estate investment trust for United States federal income tax purpo ses ("REIT"); American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. 16

▪ Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other AR Global - advised programs or investors , our Advisor and its affiliates may face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties and other investments and such conflicts may no t 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; ▪ Our stockholders are limited in their ability to sell their shares pursuant to our share repurchase program (the "SRP") and m ay have to hold their shares for an indefinite period of time; ▪ 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 with cash flows from operations; ▪ Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions; ▪ We do not expect to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund distributions at our current level, and there can b e n o assurance we will be able to continue paying cash distributions at our current level or at all; ▪ We may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Ac t") , and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act; and ▪ As of December 31, 2016, we owned only six properties and therefore have limited diversification.
