INDUSTRIAL LOGISTICS PROPERTIES TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Industrial Logistics Properties Trust, or, collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, we, us or our, is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, formed under Maryland law in 2017 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Select Income REIT, or SIR. On January 17, 2018, we completed an initial public offering and listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, of 20,000,000 of our common shares, or our IPO.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Industrial Logistics Properties Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, or our Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Because of the significant changes resulting from our IPO on January 17, 2018, the financial results reported may not be indicative of our expected future results. For periods prior to January 17, 2018, our historical operating information and financial position have been derived from the financial statements of SIR.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and the assessments of the carrying values and impairments of long lived assets.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09 (and related clarifying guidance issued by the FASB), Revenue From Contracts With Customers, which outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of 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.” A substantial portion of our revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements, which is specifically excluded from ASU No. 2014-09. We have adopted ASU No. 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the amount or timing of our revenue recognition in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right of use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods

Table of Contents

within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 will have in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We currently expect to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2018-07 will have in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Real Estate Properties

As of June 30, 2018, we owned 267 properties with a total of approximately 28,780,000 rentable square feet, including 226 buildings, leasable land parcels and easements with a total of approximately 16,834,000 rentable square feet that are primarily industrial lands located on the island of Oahu, HI, or our Hawaii Properties, and 41 buildings with a total of approximately 11,946,000 rentable square feet that are industrial and logistics properties located in 24 other states, or our Mainland Properties.

We operate in one business segment: ownership and leasing of properties that include buildings and leased industrial lands. For both the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, approximately 60.2%, of our total revenues were from our Hawaii Properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, approximately 60.4% and 60.0%, respectively, of our total revenues were from our Hawaii Properties. In addition, two subsidiaries of Amazon.com, Inc., which are tenants of our Mainland Properties, accounted for $3,963, or 10.1%, and $3,892, or 10.1%, of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $8,230, or 10.3%, and $8,037, or 10.3%, of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we acquired one property in Doral, FL with 240,283 rentable square feet for a purchase price of $43,326, including acquisition related costs of $251. This property was acquired and simultaneously leased back to the seller. This acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of assets. We allocated the purchase price of this acquisition based on the estimated fair values of the acquired assets as follows:

Rentable

Number of

Square

Purchase

Building and

Date

Location

Properties

Feet

Price

Land

Improvements

June 27, 2018

Doral, FL

240,283

43,326

15,225

28,101

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we committed $608 for expenditures related to tenant improvements and leasing costs for approximately 514,000 square feet of leases executed during the period. Committed but unspent tenant related obligations based on existing leases as of June 30, 2018 were $272.

In July 2018, we entered an agreement to acquire a single tenant, net leased property located in Upper Marlboro, MD with approximately 221,000 rentable square feet for a purchase price of $29,250, excluding acquisition related costs. This acquisition is expected to occur before the end of the third quarter of 2018. This acquisition is subject to conditions; accordingly, we cannot be sure that we will acquire this property, that the acquisition will not be delayed or that the terms will not change.

Certain of our industrial lands in Hawaii may require environmental remediation, especially if the use of those lands is changed; however, we do not have any present plans to change the use of those lands or to undertake this environmental remediation. As of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accrued environmental remediation costs of $7,002 were included in accounts payable and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These accrued environmental remediation costs relate to maintenance of our properties for current uses, and, because of the indeterminable timing of the remediation, these amounts have not been discounted to present value. In general, we do not have any insurance designated to limit any losses that we may incur as a result of known or unknown environmental conditions which are not caused by an insured event, such as fire or flood, although some of our tenants may maintain such insurance that may benefit us. Although we do not believe that there are environmental conditions at any of our properties that will have a material adverse effect on us, we cannot be sure that such conditions are not present at our properties or that costs we incur to remediate any contamination

Table of Contents

will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. Charges for environmental remediation costs, if any, are included in other operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Note 4. Indebtedness

Our principal debt obligations at June 30, 2018 were: (1) $335,000 of outstanding borrowings under our $750,000 unsecured revolving credit facility; and (2) a mortgage note with an outstanding principal amount of $48,750.

We have a $750,000 unsecured revolving credit facility that is available for our general business purposes, including acquisitions. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is December 29, 2021. We may borrow, repay and reborrow funds under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity. Interest on borrowings under our revolving credit facility is calculated at floating rates based on LIBOR plus a premium that varies based on our leverage ratio. We have the option to extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility for two, six month periods, subject to payment of extension fees and satisfaction of other conditions. If we later achieve an investment grade credit rating, we will then be able to elect to continue to have the interest premium based on our leverage ratio or we may instead elect to have the interest premium based on our credit rating, or a ratings election. We are also required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of our revolving credit facility until and if such time as we make a ratings election, and thereafter we will be required to pay a facility fee in lieu of such commitment fee based on the maximum amount of our revolving credit facility. The agreement governing our revolving credit facility, or our credit agreement, also includes a feature under which the maximum borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility may be increased to up to $1,500,000 in certain circumstances. In addition, during the first quarter of 2018, we completed the syndication of our revolving credit facility with a group of institutional lenders. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 3.38% and 2.89%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 3.26% and 3.10% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and July 26, 2018, we had $335,000 outstanding under our revolving credit facility, and $415,000 available to borrow under our revolving credit facility.

Our credit agreement provides for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as a change of control of us, which includes The RMR Group LLC, or RMR LLC, ceasing to act as our business manager and property manager. Our credit agreement also contains a number of covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur debts or to make distributions in certain circumstances, and generally requires us to maintain certain financial ratios. We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of the covenants under our credit agreement at June 30, 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, the principal amount outstanding under our mortgage note was $48,750. This mortgage note was secured by one of our properties with a net book value of $65,744. This mortgage note is non-recourse, subject to certain limited exceptions, and does not contain any material financial covenants.

Note 5. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, rents receivable, our revolving credit facility, a mortgage note payable, accounts payable, rents collected in advance, security deposits and amounts due from or to related persons. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fair value of our financial instruments approximated their carrying values in our condensed consolidated financial statements, due to their short term nature or variable interest rates, except as follows:



	At June 30, 2018				At December 31, 2017
	Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
	Value ⁽¹⁾		Fair Value		Value ⁽¹⁾		Fair Value
Mortgage note payable	$	49,311	$	48,641	$	49,427	$	48,919


(1)	Includes unamortized premiums of $561 and $677 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

We estimate the fair value of our mortgage note payable using a discounted cash flow analysis and currently prevailing market rates as of the measurement date (Level 3 inputs). Because Level 3 inputs are unobservable, our estimated fair value may differ materially from the actual fair value.

Note 6. Shareholders’ Equity

Share Issuances:

On January 17, 2018, we issued 20,000,000 of our common shares in our IPO at a price to the public of $24.00 per common share, raising net proceeds of $444,309, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses.

On March 27, 2018, in accordance with our Trustee compensation arrangements, we granted 1,000 of our common shares, valued at $20.87 per share, the closing price of our common shares on Nasdaq on that day, to each of our five Trustees as compensation for the period from our IPO to May 2018.

On May 23, 2018, in accordance with our Trustee compensation arrangements, we granted 3,000 of our common shares, valued at $20.93 per share, the closing price of our common shares on Nasdaq on that day, to each of our five Trustees as part of their annual compensation.

Distributions:

On May 14, 2018, we paid a prorated distribution of $0.27 per common share, or $17,551, for the period from January 17, 2018 (the date we completed our IPO) through March 31, 2018 to shareholders of record on April 30, 2018. This distribution was based on an expected regular quarterly distribution of $0.33 per common share ($1.32 per common share per year).

On July 19, 2018, we declared a regular quarterly distribution of $0.33 per common share, or approximately $21,500, to shareholders of record on July 30, 2018. We expect to pay this distribution on or about August 13, 2018.

Additional Paid in Capital Adjustments:

Until January 17, 2018, we were a wholly owned subsidiary of SIR and SIR managed and controlled our cash management function through a series of commingled centralized accounts. As a result, until that date, the cash receipts collected by SIR on our behalf were accounted for as distributions within shareholders' equity and the cash disbursements paid by SIR on our behalf were accounted for as contributions within shareholders' equity. During the period from January 1, 2018 to January 16, 2018, we recorded net contributions from SIR of $6,975 as an increase to additional paid in capital.

Note 7. Earnings per Common Share

We calculate earnings per common share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic earnings per share equal diluted earnings per share as there are no common share equivalent securities outstanding.

Note 8. Income Taxes

Until January 17, 2018, we were a wholly owned subsidiary of SIR, which is taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the IRC. Accordingly, until January 17, 2018, we were a qualified REIT subsidiary and a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. We intend to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the IRC for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2018 and to maintain such qualification thereafter. Accordingly, we generally are not, and will not be, subject to U.S. federal income taxes provided that we distribute our taxable income and meet certain other requirements to qualify for taxation as a REIT. We are subject to certain state and local taxes, certain of which amounts are reported as income taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We do not currently expect recent amendments to the IRC to have a significant impact on us; however, we will monitor future interpretations of such amendments as they develop, and accordingly, our estimates and disclosures may change.

Note 9. Certain Historical Arrangements and Operations Prior to our IPO

In connection with our IPO, on September 29, 2017, SIR contributed to us 266 properties with a total of approximately 28,540,000 rentable square feet, or our Initial Properties. In connection with our formation and this contribution from SIR, we issued to SIR 45,000,000 of our common shares and a $750,000 non-interest bearing demand note, or the SIR Note, and we assumed three mortgage notes totaling $63,069, as of September 30, 2017, that were secured by three of our Initial Properties. In December 2017, we obtained a $750,000 secured revolving credit facility, and we used the proceeds of an initial borrowing of $750,000 under this credit facility to pay the SIR Note in full. Also in December 2017, SIR prepaid on our

Table of Contents

behalf two of the mortgage notes totaling approximately $14,319 that had encumbered two of our Initial Properties. In connection with our IPO, we reimbursed SIR for approximately $7,271 of costs that SIR incurred in connection with our formation and preparation for our IPO. In addition, SIR collected rents from our tenants for the period subsequent to our IPO, of which SIR owed to us $2,955 as of June 30, 2018, which amount is presented as due from related persons in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018. SIR paid this amount due to us in July 2018.

Neither we nor SIR have any employees. As a wholly owned subsidiary of SIR, until the completion of our IPO, we had received services from RMR LLC under SIR’s business and property management agreements with RMR LLC. For periods prior to the completion of our IPO on January 17, 2018, base management fees payable by SIR under SIR’s business management agreement with RMR LLC were calculated based on the historical costs of our Initial Properties and incentive management fees and internal audit costs payable by SIR and allocated to us were based on the percentage of our base management fees compared to the total base management fees paid by SIR. During the period from January 1, 2018 to January 16, 2018, the base management fees payable by SIR and allocated to us were $308. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the base management fees, internal audit costs and estimated incentive management fees payable by SIR allocated to us were $1,704, $21 and $281, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the base management fees, internal audit costs and estimated incentive management fees payable by SIR allocated to us were $3,405, $42 and $2,690, respectively. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The property management and construction supervision fees payable by SIR under SIR’s property management agreement with RMR LLC that were allocated to us for services to our Initial Properties for the period from January 1, 2018 to January 16, 2018 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were $230, $1,090 and $2,120, respectively. These amounts are included in other operating expenses or have been capitalized, as appropriate, in our condensed consolidated financial statements. For the period from January 1, 2018 to January 16, 2018 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the total property management related reimbursements paid under SIR’s property management agreement with RMR LLC for costs incurred by RMR LLC with respect to our Initial Properties were $120, $638 and $1,270, respectively. These amounts are included in other operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. All these management fees and reimbursements allocated to us for periods prior to January 17, 2018 were paid by SIR and not us.

In connection with our IPO, we entered into two agreements with RMR LLC to provide management services to us. See Notes 10 and 11 for further information regarding our relationships, agreements and transactions with RMR LLC and SIR.

Note 10. Business and Property Management Agreements with RMR LLC

We have no employees. The personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR LLC. We have two agreements with RMR LLC to provide management services to us, which we entered on January 17, 2018 in connection with the completion of our IPO: (1) a business management agreement, which relates to our business generally; and (2) a property management agreement, which relates to our property level operations.

Pursuant to our business management agreement with RMR LLC, we recognized business management fees of $1,824 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $3,306 for the period from January 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Pursuant to our property management agreement with RMR LLC, we recognized aggregate property management and construction supervision fees of $1,155 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $2,122 for the period from January 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018. These amounts are included in other operating expenses or have been capitalized, as appropriate, in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We are generally responsible for all of our operating expenses, including certain expenses incurred by RMR LLC on our behalf. Our property level operating expenses, including certain payroll and related costs incurred by RMR LLC, are generally incorporated into rents charged to our tenants. We reimbursed RMR LLC $644 for property management related expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $1,186 for the period from January 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018. These amounts are included in other operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In addition, we are responsible for our share of RMR LLC’s costs for providing our internal audit function. The amount recognized as expense for internal audit costs was $69 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $121 for the period from January 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, which amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with RMR LLC, SIR and others related to them, including other companies to which RMR LLC or its subsidiaries provide management services and which have trustees, directors and officers who are also our Trustees or officers.

Our Manager, RMR LLC. We have two agreements with RMR LLC to provide management services to us. See Note 10 for further information regarding our management agreements with RMR LLC.

SIR. SIR is our largest shareholder. As of June 30, 2018, SIR owned 45,000,000 of our common shares, or approximately 69.2% of our outstanding common shares. We were SIR’s wholly owned subsidiary until we completed our IPO on January 17, 2018. Adam D. Portnoy, one of our Managing Trustees, is also a managing trustee of SIR. John C. Popeo, our other Managing Trustee and our President and Chief Executive Officer, also serves as the chief financial officer and treasurer of SIR. RMR LLC provides management services to SIR and us. In connection with our IPO, we entered a transaction agreement with SIR that governs our separation from and relationship with SIR. The transaction agreement provides that, among other things, (1) our current assets and current liabilities, as of the time of closing of our IPO, were settled so that SIR retained all pre-closing current assets and pre-closing current liabilities and we assumed all post-closing current assets and post-closing current liabilities, (2) we will indemnify SIR with respect to any of our liabilities, and SIR will indemnify us with respect to any of SIR’s liabilities, after giving effect to the settlement between us and SIR of our current assets and current liabilities, and (3) we and SIR will cooperate to enforce the ownership limitations in our and SIR’s respective declaration of trust as may be appropriate to qualify for and maintain qualification for taxation as a REIT under the IRC, and otherwise to ensure each receives the economics of its assets and liabilities and to file future tax returns, including appropriate allocations of taxable income, expenses and other tax attributes. SIR, ABP Trust and five other companies to which RMR LLC provides management services equally own Affiliates Insurance Company, or AIC, and participate in a combined property insurance program arranged and reinsured in part by AIC. Our properties are included in this program as a majority owned subsidiary of SIR. We pay or reimburse SIR for the part of the premiums allocated to our properties. We currently expect to pay, as of June 30, 2018, aggregate annual premiums, including taxes and fees, of approximately $266 in connection with this insurance program for the policy year ending June 30, 2019, which amount may be adjusted from time to time as we acquire and dispose of properties that are included in this insurance program. See Note 9 for further information regarding our IPO and our relationships, agreements and transactions with SIR.

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

The following information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report.

OVERVIEW

We are a REIT organized under Maryland law. As of June 30, 2018, we owned 267 properties with approximately 28.8 million rentable square feet, including 226 buildings, leasable land parcels and easements with approximately 16.8 million rentable square feet located on the island of Oahu, HI, and 41 buildings with approximately 12.0 million rentable square feet located in 24 other states. As of June 30, 2018, our properties were approximately 99.1% leased (based on rentable square feet) to 240 different tenants with a weighted average remaining lease term (based on annualized rental revenues) of approximately 11.1 years. We define the term annualized rental revenues as used in this section as the annualized contractual rents, as of June 30, 2018, including straight line rent adjustments and excluding lease value amortization, adjusted for tenant concessions including free rent and amounts reimbursed to tenants, plus estimated recurring expense reimbursements from tenants.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we entered lease renewals and new leases for approximately 218,000 square feet at weighted average (by square feet) rental rates that were approximately 34.5% higher than prior rates for the same land area or building area (with leasing rate increases for vacant space based upon the most recent rental rate for the same space). Consolidated portfolio occupancy decreased from 99.6% as of June 30, 2017 to 99.1% as of June 30, 2018. Commitments for tenant improvements, leasing costs and concessions for leases entered during the three months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $540,000, or $0.22 per square foot per year of the new weighted average lease term.

Mainland Properties. We generally will seek to renew or extend the terms of leases at our Mainland Properties when they expire. Because of the capital many of the tenants in our Mainland Properties have invested in these properties and because many of these properties appear to be of strategic importance to the tenants’ businesses, we believe that it is likely that these tenants will renew or extend their leases when they expire. If we are unable to extend or renew our leases, it may be time consuming and expensive to relet some of these properties.

Hawaii Properties. Approximately 59.5% of our annualized rental revenues as of June 30, 2018 were derived from our Hawaii Properties. As of June 30, 2018, a significant portion of our Hawaii Properties are lands leased for rents that are periodically reset based on fair market values, generally every ten years. Revenues from our Hawaii Properties have generally increased under our or our predecessors’ ownership as rents under the leases for those properties have been reset or renewed. Lease renewals, new leases and rental rates for which available space may be relet at our Hawaii Properties in the future will depend on prevailing market conditions when these lease renewals, new leases and rental rates are set. As rent reset dates or lease expirations approach at our Hawaii Properties, we generally negotiate with existing or new tenants for new lease terms. If we are unable to reach an agreement with a tenant on a rent reset, our Hawaii Properties’ leases typically provide that rent is reset based on an appraisal process. Despite our and our predecessors' prior experience with new leases and rent resets in Hawaii, our ability to increase rents when rents reset or leases expire depends upon market conditions, which are beyond our control. Accordingly, we cannot be sure that the historical increases achieved at our Hawaii Properties will continue in the future.

The following chart shows the annualized rental revenues as of June 30, 2018 scheduled to reset at our Hawaii Properties:

Scheduled Rent Resets at Hawaii Properties

Since the leases at certain of our Hawaii Properties were originally entered, in some cases as long as 40 or 50 years ago, the characteristics of the neighborhoods in the vicinity of some of those properties have changed. In such circumstances, we and our predecessors have sometimes engaged in redevelopment activities to change the character of certain properties in order to increase rents. Because our Hawaii Properties are currently experiencing strong demand for their current uses, we do not currently expect redevelopment efforts in Hawaii to become a major activity of ours in the foreseeable future; however, we may undertake such activities on a selective basis.

Investment Activities (dollars in thousands)

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we acquired one property in Doral, FL with 240,283 rentable square feet for a purchase price of $43,075, excluding acquisition related costs of $251.

Our strategy related to property acquisitions and dispositions is materially unchanged from that disclosed in our Annual Report. Our target investments include industrial and logistics buildings in top tier markets. In addition to top tier

markets, our focus is on newer buildings, high credit quality tenants and longer lease terms. We expect to use the extensive nationwide resources of RMR LLC to locate and acquire properties.

For further information regarding our investment activities, see Note 3 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Financing Activities (dollars in thousands)

On January 17, 2018, we completed our IPO, in which we issued 20,000,000 of our common shares for net proceeds of $444,309, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses. Upon the completion of our IPO, our secured revolving credit facility converted into a four year unsecured revolving credit facility, and we used substantially all of the net proceeds from our IPO to reduce amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We also reimbursed SIR for costs that it incurred in connection with our formation and the preparation for our IPO.

The calculation of net operating income, or NOI, excludes certain components of net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to our property level results of operations. We calculate NOI as shown above. We define NOI as income from our rental of real estate less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that we record as depreciation and amortization. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it may help both investors and management to understand the operations of our properties. We use NOI to evaluate individual and company wide property level performance, and we believe that NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level and may facilitate comparisons of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income or operating income as an indicator of our operating performance or as a measure of our liquidity. This measure should be considered in conjunction with net income and operating income as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate NOI differently than we do.

We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, and normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, as shown above. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit, which is net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to us. Our calculation of Normalized FFO differs from Nareit’s definition of FFO because we include business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of our core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year. We consider FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income and operating income. We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to qualify for taxation as a REIT, limitations in our credit agreement, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance and our expected needs for and availability of cash to pay our obligations. FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income or operating income as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income and operating income as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do.

Incentive fees under our and SIR's business management agreements with RMR LLC are payable after the end of each calendar year, are calculated based on common share total return, as defined in the respective agreements, and are included in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, we recognize estimated business management incentive fee expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters. Although we recognize this expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters for purposes of calculating net income, we do not include such expense in the calculation of Normalized FFO until the fourth quarter, when the amount of the business management incentive fee expense for the calendar year, if any, is determined. Normalized FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2017 exclude $281, which represents the portion of SIR's estimated business management incentive fee allocated to us for the period during which we were SIR's wholly owned subsidiary.

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of results for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. Our acquisition activity reflects our acquisition of one property in June 2018.

Rental income. The increase in rental income was primarily a result of increases from leasing activity and rent resets at certain of our comparable properties. Rental income includes non-cash straight line rent adjustments totaling approximately $1,038 for the 2018 period and approximately $1,475 for the 2017 period, and net amortization of acquired real estate leases and assumed real estate lease obligations totaling approximately $101 for the 2018 period and approximately $96 for the 2017 period.

Real estate taxes. The increase in real estate taxes primarily reflects tax valuation and tax rate increases at certain of our comparable properties.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses primarily include property maintenance, environmental remediation, utilities, insurance, bad debt, legal and property management fees. The increase in other operating expenses is primarily due to increases in repairs and maintenance expenses at certain of our comparable properties.

Depreciation and amortization. The increase in depreciation and amortization primarily reflects increased depreciation of capital improvements and leasing costs at our comparable properties.

Table of Contents

General and administrative. Subsequent to our IPO, general and administrative expenses primarily include fees paid under our business management agreement, legal fees, audit fees, Trustee cash fees and equity compensation expense. Prior to our IPO, general and administrative expenses were primarily allocated to us by SIR based on the historical cost of our properties as a percentage of SIR's historical cost of all of its properties. The increase in general and administrative expenses primarily reflects increased costs associated with our becoming a separate public company, partially offset by our allocated portion of estimated business management incentive fees recognized by SIR in the 2017 period.

Interest income. Interest income represents interest earned on our cash balances.

Interest expense. The increase in interest expense primarily reflects the change in our capital structure, including our IPO, which resulted in changes in borrowings under our revolving credit facility during the 2018 period, partially offset by the prepayment of certain mortgage notes in December 2017.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense reflects state income taxes payable in certain jurisdictions despite our expected qualification for taxation as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

Net income. The decrease in net income for the 2018 period compared to the 2017 period reflects the changes noted above.

Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted. The increase in weighted average common shares outstanding primarily reflects the issuance of 20,000,000 of our common shares in connection with our IPO.

Net income per common share - basic and diluted. Net income per common share reflects the changes to net income and weighted average common shares noted above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our Operating Liquidity and Resources (dollars in thousands)

Our principal sources of funds to meet our operating and capital expenses, pay debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders are rents from tenants at our properties and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We believe that these sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses, pay debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. Our future cash flows from operating activities will depend primarily upon our ability to:


•	maintain the occupancy of, and maintain or increase the rental rates at, our properties;


•	control our operating cost increases; and


•	purchase additional properties that produce cash flows in excess of our costs of acquisition capital and property operating expenses.

Cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities were $45,802, ($44,787) and $14,550, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and $52,909, ($3,166) and ($49,743), respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to reimbursements to and from SIR for the costs it incurred in connection with our formation and the preparation for our IPO in 2017, and the cash rents collected from our tenants by SIR in 2018. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased primarily due to our acquisition in the 2018 period. The change in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to net proceeds from our IPO and net contributions from SIR related to our property operations prior to the completion of our IPO, partially offset by net activities under our revolving credit facility and distributions paid to our shareholders.

Our Investment and Financing Liquidity and Resources (dollars in thousands, except per share and per square foot data)

Our future acquisitions or development of properties cannot be accurately projected because they depend upon available opportunities that come to our attention and upon our ability to successfully acquire, develop and operate such properties. We generally do not intend to purchase "turn around" properties, or properties that do not generate positive cash flows, and, to the extent we conduct construction or redevelopment activities on our properties, we currently intend to conduct those activities primarily to satisfy tenant requirements or on a build to suit basis for existing or new tenants.

As of June 30, 2018, we had $15,565 of cash and cash equivalents. To qualify for taxation as a REIT under the IRC, we generally will be required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, subject to specified adjustments and excluding any net capital gain. This distribution requirement limits our ability to retain earnings and thereby provide capital for our operations or acquisitions. In order to fund cash needs that may result from timing differences between our receipt of rents and our desire or need to make distributions, to pay operating or capital expenses or to fund any future property acquisitions, development or redevelopment efforts, we maintain a $750,000 unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of lenders. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is December 29, 2021. We have the option to extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility for two, six month periods, subject to payment of extension fees and satisfaction of other conditions. We pay interest on borrowings under our revolving credit facility at the rate of LIBOR plus a premium that will vary based on our leverage ratio. If we later achieve an investment grade credit rating, we will then be able to elect to continue to have the interest premium based on our leverage ratio or we may instead elect to have the interest premium based on our credit rating, or a ratings election. We are required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of our revolving credit facility until and if such time as we make a ratings election, and thereafter we will be required to pay a facility fee in lieu of such commitment fee based on the maximum amount of our revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2018, the interest rate premium on our revolving credit facility was 130 basis points and our commitment fee was 25 basis points. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity. As of June 30, 2018, the interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 3.38%. As of June 30, 2018 and July 26, 2018, we had $335,000 outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $415,000 available to borrow under our revolving credit facility.

Our credit agreement includes a feature under which the maximum borrowing availability under the facility may be increased to up to $1,500,000 in certain circumstances.

Table of Contents

On January 17, 2018, we completed our IPO, in which we issued 20,000,000 of our common shares for net proceeds of $444,309, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses. For further information regarding our IPO and our application of the net proceeds, see Note 9 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our debt maturity (other than our revolving credit facility) as of June 30, 2018 was $48,750 in 2020.

We expect to use borrowings under our revolving credit facility and net proceeds from offerings of equity or debt securities to fund any future property acquisitions, development or redevelopment efforts. We may also assume mortgage debt in connection with future acquisitions. When significant amounts are outstanding under our revolving credit facility or the maturities of our revolving credit facility or our other debt approach, we intend to explore refinancing alternatives. Such alternatives may include incurring term debt, issuing new equity or debt securities, extending the maturity date of our revolving credit facility or participating in joint venture arrangements. Although we cannot be sure that we will be successful in completing any particular type of financing, we believe that we will have access to financing, such as debt and equity offerings, to fund capital expenditures, future acquisitions, development, redevelopment and other activities and to pay our obligations.

Although we have no present intention to do so, we may sell, or place mortgages on, properties we own or participate in joint venture arrangements.

The completion and the costs of any future financings will depend primarily upon our success in operating our business and upon market conditions. In particular, the feasibility and cost of any future debt financings will depend primarily on our then current credit qualities and on market conditions. We have no control over market conditions. Potential lenders in future debt transactions will evaluate our ability to fund required debt service and repay principal balances when they become due by reviewing our financial condition, results of operations, business practices and plans and our ability to maintain our earnings, to stagger our debt maturities and to balance our use of debt and equity capital so that our financial performance and leverage ratios afford us flexibility to withstand any reasonably anticipated adverse changes. We intend to conduct our business activities in a manner that will afford us reasonable access to capital for investment and financing activities.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, amounts capitalized for tenant improvements, leasing costs, building improvements and development and redevelopment activities were as follows:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,

(1)	Tenant improvements include capital expenditures used to improve tenants’ space or amounts paid directly to tenants to improve their space.


(2)	Leasing costs include leasing related costs, such as brokerage commissions, legal costs and tenant inducements.


(3)	Building improvements generally include (i) expenditures to replace obsolete building components and (ii) expenditures that extend the useful life of existing assets.

(4)	Development, redevelopment and other activities generally include (i) capital expenditures that are identified at the time of a property acquisition and incurred within a short time period after acquiring the property and (ii) capital expenditure projects that reposition a property or result in new sources of revenues.

As of June 30, 2018, we had estimated unspent leasing related obligations of $272.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, commitments made for expenditures, such as tenant improvements and leasing costs in connection with leasing space, were as follows:

(1)	Includes commitments made for leasing expenditures and concessions, such as leasing commissions, tenant improvements or other tenant inducements.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2018, we had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. We had no swaps, hedges or other derivatives as of June 30, 2018.

Debt Covenants (dollars in thousands)

Our principal debt obligations at June 30, 2018 were borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility and a mortgage note assumed in connection with one of our acquisitions. Our mortgage note is non-recourse, subject to certain limitations, and does not contain any material financial covenants. Our credit agreement provides for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as a change of control of us, which includes RMR LLC ceasing to act as our business and property manager. Our credit agreement contains a number of covenants which restrict our ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on our properties, in excess of calculated amounts, restrict our ability to make distributions to our shareholders in certain circumstances and generally require us to maintain certain financial ratios. As of June 30, 2018, we believe we were in compliance with all of the terms and covenants under our credit agreement.

Our credit agreement does not contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by our leverage ratio. However, under our credit agreement, our leverage ratio is used to determine the fees and interest rates we pay. Accordingly, if our leverage ratio increases above the applicable thresholds, our interest expense and related costs under our credit agreement would increase.

Our revolving credit facility has cross default provisions to other indebtedness that is recourse of $25,000 or more and indebtedness that is non-recourse of $50,000 or more.

Related Person Transactions

We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with RMR LLC and others related to them. For example: we have no employees and the personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR LLC pursuant to our business and property management agreements with RMR LLC; The RMR Group Inc., or RMR Inc., is the managing member of RMR LLC; and Adam D. Portnoy, one of our Managing Trustees, is the sole trustee, an officer and controlling shareholder of ABP Trust, which is the controlling shareholder of RMR Inc. We also have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with other companies to which RMR LLC or its subsidiaries provide management services and which may have trustees, directors and officers who are also trustees, directors or officers of us, RMR LLC or RMR Inc., including: SIR, of which we were a wholly owned subsidiary until January 17, 2018 and which remains our largest shareholder, owning, at June 30, 2018, approximately 69.2% of our outstanding common shares. For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, see Notes 9, 10 and 11 to the Notes to Condensed

We may engage in additional transactions with related persons, including, businesses to which RMR LLC or its subsidiaries provide management services.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (dollars in thousands, except per share data)

We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates. We manage our exposure to this market risk by monitoring available financing alternatives. Our strategy to manage exposure to changes in interest rates is materially unchanged since December 31, 2017. Other than as described below, we do not currently expect any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how we manage this exposure in the near future.

Fixed Rate Debt

At June 30, 2018, our outstanding fixed rate debt consisted of the following secured mortgage note:

Annual

Interest

Principal

Interest

Debt

Rate⁽¹⁾

Expense⁽¹⁾

Mortgage note (one property in Chester, VA)

2020

Monthly


(1)	The principal balance, annual interest rate and annual interest expense are the amounts stated in the applicable contract. In accordance with GAAP, our carrying value and recorded interest expense may differ from these amounts because of market conditions at the time we assumed this debt.

Our mortgage note requires interest only payments until maturity. Because our mortgage note requires interest to be paid at a fixed rate, changes in market interest rates during the term of the mortgage note will not affect our interest obligations. If this mortgage note is refinanced at an interest rate which is one percentage point higher or lower than shown above, our annual interest cost would increase or decrease by approximately $488.

Changes in market interest rates would affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations. Increases in market interest rates decrease the fair value of our fixed rate debt, while decreases in market interest rates increase the fair value of our fixed rate debt. Based on the balance outstanding at June 30, 2018 and a discounted cash flow analysis through the maturity date, and assuming no other changes in factors that may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligation, a hypothetical immediate one percentage point change in the interest rate would change the fair value of this obligation by approximately $1,104.

Floating Rate Debt

At June 30, 2018, our floating rate debt consisted of $335,000 outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Our revolving credit facility matures on December 29, 2021 and, subject to the payment of extension fees and satisfaction of other conditions, we have the option to extend the maturity date for two, six month periods. No principal repayments are required under our revolving credit facility prior to maturity, and prepayments may be made at any time without penalty.

Borrowings under our revolving credit facility are in U.S. dollars and require interest to be paid at LIBOR plus a premium that is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our leverage ratio. Accordingly, we are vulnerable to changes in the U.S. dollar based short term rates, specifically LIBOR. In addition, upon renewal or refinancing of this obligation, we are vulnerable to increases in interest rate premiums due to market conditions or our perceived credit risk. Generally, a change in interest rates would not affect the value of our floating rate debt but would affect our operating results. The following table presents the approximate impact a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense at June 30, 2018:

Table of Contents



	Impact of an Increase in Interest Rates
					Total Interest		Annual
	Interest Rate		Outstanding		Expense		Earnings Per
	Per Year		Debt		Per Year		Share Impact ⁽¹⁾
At June 30, 2018	3.38	%	$	335,000	$	11,323	$	0.18
One percentage point increase	4.38	%	$	335,000	$	14,673	$	0.23


(1)	Based on the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The following table presents the approximate impact a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense at June 30, 2018 if we were fully drawn on our revolving credit facility:



	Impact of an Increase in Interest Rates
					Total Interest		Annual
	Interest Rate		Outstanding		Expense		Earnings Per
	Per Year		Debt		Per Year		Share Impact ⁽¹⁾
At June 30, 2018	3.38	%	$	750,000	$	25,350	$	0.40
One percentage point increase	4.38	%	$	750,000	$	32,850	$	0.52


(1)	Based on the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The foregoing tables show the impact of an immediate increase in floating interest rates. If interest rates were to change gradually over time, the impact would be spread over time. Our exposure to fluctuations in floating interest rates will increase or decrease in the future with increases or decreases in the outstanding amounts of our revolving credit facility and any other floating rate debt.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

•	OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE FOR ACQUISITIONS AND TENANCIES EFFECTIVELY,


•	THE LIKELIHOOD THAT OUR RENTS WILL INCREASE WHEN WE RENEW OR EXTEND OUR LEASES, WHEN WE ENTER NEW LEASES, OR WHEN OUR RENTS RESET AT OUR HAWAII PROPERTIES,


•	OUR ABILITY TO PAY DISTRIBUTIONS TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS AND TO SUSTAIN THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DISTRIBUTIONS,


•	THE FUTURE AVAILABILITY OF BORROWINGS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY,


•	OUR POLICIES AND PLANS REGARDING INVESTMENTS, FINANCINGS AND DISPOSITIONS,

Table of Contents

MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND UPON OUR BUSINESS, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, FFO, NORMALIZED FFO, NOI, CASH FLOWS, LIQUIDITY AND PROSPECTS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:


•	THE IMPACT OF CONDITIONS AND CHANGES IN THE ECONOMY AND THE CAPITAL MARKETS ON US AND OUR TENANTS,


•	COMPETITION WITHIN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY, PARTICULARLY IN THOSE MARKETS IN WHICH OUR PROPERTIES ARE LOCATED,


•	COMPLIANCE WITH, AND CHANGES TO, FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS, ACCOUNTING RULES, TAX LAWS AND SIMILAR MATTERS,

•	ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH OUR RELATED PARTIES, INCLUDING OUR MANAGING TRUSTEES, RMR LLC, RMR INC., SIR, AIC, AND OTHERS AFFILIATED WITH THEM, AND


•	ACTS OF TERRORISM, OUTBREAKS OF SO CALLED PANDEMICS OR OTHER MANMADE OR NATURAL DISASTERS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

FOR EXAMPLE:

•

OUR ABILITY TO MAKE FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS AND TO MAKE PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON OUR INDEBTEDNESS DEPENDS UPON A NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING OUR FUTURE EARNINGS, THE CAPITAL COSTS WE INCUR TO LEASE OUR PROPERTIES AND OUR WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PAY OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS OR TO MAINTAIN OUR CURRENT RATE OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON OUR COMMON SHARES AND FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS MAY BE REDUCED OR ELIMINATED,


•	OUR ABILITY TO GROW OUR BUSINESS AND INCREASE OUR DISTRIBUTIONS DEPENDS IN LARGE PART UPON OUR ABILITY TO BUY PROPERTIES AND LEASE THEM FOR RENTS, LESS THEIR PROPERTY OPERATING COSTS, THAT EXCEED OUR CAPITAL COSTS. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROPERTIES THAT WE WANT TO ACQUIRE OR TO NEGOTIATE ACCEPTABLE PURCHASE PRICES, ACQUISITION FINANCING OR LEASE TERMS FOR NEW PROPERTIES,


•	CONTINGENCIES IN OUR ACQUISITION AND SALE AGREEMENTS MAY NOT BE SATISFIED AND ANY EXPECTED ACQUISITIONS AND SALES MAY NOT OCCUR, MAY BE DELAYED OR THE TERMS OF SUCH TRANSACTIONS MAY CHANGE,


•	RENTS THAT WE CAN CHARGE AT OUR PROPERTIES MAY DECLINE BECAUSE OF CHANGING MARKET CONDITIONS OR OTHERWISE,

•

MOST OF OUR HAWAII PROPERTIES ARE LANDS LEASED FOR RENTS THAT ARE PERIODICALLY RESET BASED ON THEN CURRENT FAIR MARKET VALUES. REVENUES FROM OUR PROPERTIES IN HAWAII HAVE GENERALLY INCREASED DURING OUR AND OUR PREDECESSORS’ OWNERSHIP AS THE LEASES FOR THOSE PROPERTIES HAVE BEEN RESET OR RENEWED. ALTHOUGH WE EXPECT THAT RENTS FOR OUR HAWAII PROPERTIES WILL INCREASE IN THE FUTURE, WE CANNOT BE SURE THEY WILL. FUTURE RENTS FROM THESE PROPERTIES COULD DECREASE OR NOT INCREASE TO THE EXTENT THEY HAVE IN THE PAST,


•	OUR POSSIBLE REDEVELOPMENT OF CERTAIN OF OUR PROPERTIES MAY NOT BE REALIZED OR BE SUCCESSFUL,


•	OUR LEASING RELATED OBLIGATIONS MAY COST MORE OR LESS AND MAY TAKE LONGER TO COMPLETE THAN WE EXPECT, AND OUR LEASING RELATED OBLIGATIONS MAY INCREASE IN THE FUTURE,

•

THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE OR ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN AREAS WHERE OUR PROPERTIES ARE LOCATED MAY BECOME WORSE IN THE FUTURE. SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES OR OTHER CONDITIONS MAY REDUCE DEMAND FOR LEASING INDUSTRIAL SPACE. IF THE DEMAND FOR LEASING INDUSTRIAL SPACE IS REDUCED, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO RENEW LEASES WITH OUR TENANTS AS LEASES EXPIRE OR ENTER INTO NEW LEASES AT RENTAL RATES AS HIGH AS EXPIRING RENTS AND OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS MAY DECLINE,


•	E-COMMERCE RETAIL SALES MAY NOT CONTINUE TO GROW AND INCREASE THE DEMAND FOR INDUSTRIAL AND LOGISTICS REAL ESTATE AS WE EXPECT,


•	INCREASING DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRIAL AND LOGISTICS PROPERTIES MAY REDUCE THE DEMAND FOR, AND OUR RENTS FROM, OUR PROPERTIES,


•	OUR BELIEF THAT THERE IS A LIKELIHOOD THAT TENANTS MAY RENEW OR EXTEND OUR LEASES WHEN THEY EXPIRE WHENEVER THEY HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN THE LEASED PROPERTIES, OR BECAUSE THOSE PROPERTIES MAY BE OF STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE TO THEM, MAY NOT BE REALIZED,


•	SOME OF OUR TENANTS MAY NOT RENEW EXPIRING LEASES, AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN NEW TENANTS TO MAINTAIN OR INCREASE THE HISTORICAL OCCUPANCY RATES OF, OR RENTS FROM, OUR PROPERTIES,


•	THE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES WE BELIEVE WE HAVE MAY NOT IN FACT EXIST OR PROVIDE US WITH THE ADVANTAGES WE EXPECT. WE MAY FAIL TO MAINTAIN ANY OF THESE ADVANTAGES OR OUR COMPETITION MAY OBTAIN OR INCREASE THEIR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES RELATIVE TO US,


•	OUR INCREASED OPERATING EXPENSES AS A PUBLIC COMPANY MAY BE GREATER THAN WE EXPECT,


•	WE INTEND TO CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS ACTIVITIES IN A MANNER THAT WILL AFFORD US REASONABLE ACCESS TO CAPITAL FOR INVESTMENT AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES. HOWEVER, WE MAY NOT SUCCEED IN THIS REGARD AND WE MAY NOT HAVE REASONABLE ACCESS TO CAPITAL,


•	CONTINUED AVAILABILITY OF BORROWINGS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY IS SUBJECT TO OUR SATISFYING CERTAIN FINANCIAL COVENANTS AND OTHER CREDIT FACILITY CONDITIONS THAT WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SATISFY,


•	ACTUAL COSTS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY WILL BE HIGHER THAN LIBOR PLUS A PREMIUM BECAUSE OF FEES AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DEBT,


•	WE MAY BE UNABLE TO REPAY OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS WHEN THEY BECOME DUE,


•	THE MAXIMUM BORROWING AVAILABILITY UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY MAY BE INCREASED TO UP TO $1.5 BILLION IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. HOWEVER, INCREASING THE MAXIMUM BORROWING AVAILABILITY UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY IS SUBJECT TO OUR OBTAINING ADDITIONAL COMMITMENTS FROM LENDERS, WHICH MAY NOT OCCUR,


•	WE HAVE THE OPTION TO EXTEND THE MATURITY DATE OF OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY UPON PAYMENT OF A FEE AND MEETING OTHER CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, THE APPLICABLE CONDITIONS MAY NOT BE MET,


•	OUR RIGHT TO ELECT TO HAVE INTEREST PAYABLE UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY CALCULATED AS LIBOR PLUS A PREMIUM BASED ON OUR CREDIT RATING IS SUBJECT TO OUR OBTAINING AN INVESTMENT GRADE CREDIT RATING, WHICH WE MAY NOT OBTAIN,


•	THE PREMIUMS USED TO DETERMINE THE INTEREST RATE PAYABLE ON OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND THE UNUSED FEE PAYABLE ON OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY ARE BASED ON OUR LEVERAGE. FUTURE CHANGES IN OUR LEVERAGE MAY CAUSE THE INTEREST AND FEES WE PAY TO INCREASE,

•	THE BUSINESS AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS BETWEEN US AND RMR LLC HAVE CONTINUING 20 YEAR TERMS. HOWEVER, THOSE AGREEMENTS PERMIT EARLY TERMINATION IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDINGLY, WE CANNOT BE SURE THAT THESE AGREEMENTS WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR CONTINUING 20 YEAR TERMS, AND


•	WE BELIEVE THAT OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR RELATED PARTIES, INCLUDING RMR LLC, RMR INC., SIR, AIC AND OTHERS AFFILIATED WITH THEM MAY BENEFIT US AND PROVIDE US WITH COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES IN OPERATING AND GROWING OUR BUSINESS. HOWEVER, THE ADVANTAGES WE BELIEVE WE MAY REALIZE FROM THESE RELATIONSHIPS MAY NOT MATERIALIZE.

CURRENTLY UNEXPECTED RESULTS COULD OCCUR DUE TO MANY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, SOME OF WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL, SUCH AS ACTS OF TERRORISM, NATURAL DISASTERS, CHANGES IN OUR TENANTS’ FINANCIAL CONDITIONS, THE MARKET DEMAND FOR LEASED SPACE OR CHANGES IN CAPITAL MARKETS OR THE ECONOMY GENERALLY.
