At June 30, 2013, the Company's commitment could have been terminated by the Company due to an outstanding contingency, thus costs incurred through June 30, 2013 of $1,191 are recognized as pre-development costs and included in “Other assets” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, the termination right expired.

The Company has variable interests in certain developer entities constructing the facilities but is not the primary beneficiary of the entities as the Company does not have a controlling financial interest. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company's aggregate investment in development arrangements, excluding the Las Vegas, Nevada property, was $23,099 and $65,122, respectively, and are presented as investments in real estate under construction in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company capitalized interest of $1,116 and $1,046 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, relating to build-to-suit activities.
In addition, the Company has committed to acquire, upon its completion, an office property in Omaha, Nebraska for $39,125, which is subject to a net lease that will have a 20-year term upon completion. Construction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Company can give no assurances that any of these acquisitions under contract or build-to-suit transactions will be consummated.

On September 1, 2012, the Company, together with an operating partnership subsidiary, acquired the remaining common equity interest in Net Lease Strategic Assets Fund L.P. ("NLS") from Inland American (Net Lease) Sub, LLC that the Company did not already own for a cash payment of $9,438 and the assumption of all outstanding liabilities. Immediately prior to the acquisition, the Company owned 15% of NLS's common equity and 100% of NLS's preferred equity. At the date of acquisition, NLS owned 41 properties totaling 5.8 million square feet in 23 states, plus a 40% tenant-in-common interest in an office property.  The Company's investment in NLS had previously been accounted for under the equity method and is now consolidated.

The Company recognized gross revenues from continuing operations of $21,505 and a net loss of $(3,542) from NLS properties during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company recognized $9,306 of equity in earnings relating to NLS during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The following unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma information is presented as if the Company acquired the remaining equity in NLS on January 1, 2012. The information presented below is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the transaction been completed on January 1, 2012, nor does it purport to represent the Company's future operations:
