4. Investment in Real Estate

Acquisitions

In 2011, we acquired one industrial property comprising approximately 0.7 million square feet of GLA through the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture (see Note 5). The gross agreed-upon fair value for the industrial property was $30,625, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial property. The acquisition was funded through the assumption of a mortgage loan, whose carrying value approximated fair market value, in the amount of $24,417 and a cash payment of $5,277 (85% of the net fair value of the acquisition). We accounted for this transaction as a step acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting. Due to the change in control that occurred, we recorded a gain during the year ended December 31, 2011 of $689 related to the difference between our carrying value and fair value of our equity interest on the acquisition date.

In 2012, we acquired one industrial property comprising approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA through the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture (see Note 5) and several land parcels. The gross agreed-upon fair value for the industrial property was $21,819, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial property. The acquisition was funded through the assumption of a mortgage loan, which was subsequently paid off on the date of acquisition and whose carrying value approximated fair market value, in the amount of $12,026 and a cash payment of $8,324 (85% of the net fair value of the acquisition). We accounted for this transaction as a step acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting. Due to the change in control that occurred, we recorded a gain during the year ended December 31, 2012 of $776 related to the difference between our carrying value and fair value of our equity interest on the acquisition date. The purchase price of the land parcels was approximately $46,695, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the land parcels.

In 2013, we acquired two industrial properties, one of which we acquired through the acquisition of 100% of the equity interest in the limited liability company that owned the industrial property, comprising approximately 1.1 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. One of the two industrial properties was vacant upon acquisition. The purchase price of these acquisitions totaled approximately $72,812, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial properties and land parcels.

We value third party acquisitions and acquisitions of unconsolidated joint venture partner interests in industrial properties on a similar basis, generally by applying an income capitalization approach. The fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements, as discussed below. The fair value estimates for each industrial property acquired from our joint venture partner during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were based on a weighted average capitalization rate approximating 7.3% and 8.4%, respectively. The fair value measurements also include consideration of the fair market value of debt.

Intangible Assets (Liabilities) Subject To Amortization in the Period of Acquisition

The fair value at the date of acquisition of in-place leases, tenant relationships and below market leases recorded due to the real estate properties acquired for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, which are recorded as deferred leasing intangibles, are as follows:



	Year Ended December 31, 2013			Year Ended December 31, 2012
In-Place Leases	$	2,807		$	1,750
Tenant Relationships	$	1,914		$	1,012
Below Market Leases	$	(188	)	$	(102	)

The weighted average life in months of in-place leases, tenant relationships and below market leases recorded at the time of acquisition as a result of the real estate properties acquired for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:



	Year Ended December 31, 2013	Year Ended December 31, 2012
In-Place Leases	52	118
Tenant Relationships	112	178
Below Market Leases	52	118

Sales and Discontinued Operations

In 2011, we sold 36 industrial properties comprising approximately 2.9 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. Gross proceeds from the sales of the industrial properties and one land parcel were approximately $86,643. Included in the 36 industrial properties sold is one industrial property totaling approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA that we transferred title to a lender in satisfaction of a non-recourse mortgage loan. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $21,789, of which $20,419 is shown in discontinued operations. The 36 sold industrial properties meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 36 sold industrial properties are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the one land parcel, which does not meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations, is included in continuing operations.

In 2012, we sold 28 industrial properties comprising approximately 4.2 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. Gross proceeds from the sales of the industrial properties and one land parcel were approximately $85,561. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $16,442, of which $12,665 is shown in discontinued operations. The 28 sold industrial properties meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 28 industrial properties sold are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the one land parcel, which does not meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations, is included in continuing operations.

In 2013, we sold 67 industrial properties comprising approximately 3.0 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. Gross proceeds from the sales of the industrial properties and land parcels were approximately $144,628. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $35,444, of which $34,344 is shown in discounted operations. The 67 sold industrial properties meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 67 industrial properties sold are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the several land parcels, which do not meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations, are included in continuing operations.

The following table discloses certain information regarding the industrial properties included in our discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2013			2012			2011
Total Revenues	$	10,955		$	21,649		$	32,079
Property Expenses	(4,450		)	(8,879		)	(12,947		)
Impairment of Real Estate	(1,605		)	(1,438		)	(6,214		)
Depreciation and Amortization	(3,647		)	(7,834		)	(8,505		)
Interest Expense	—			—			(63		)
Gain on Sale of Real Estate	34,344			12,665			20,419
Provision for Income Taxes	—			—			(1,246		)
Income from Discontinued Operations	$	35,597		$	16,163		$	23,523

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had notes receivable and accrued interest outstanding, issued in connection with sales of industrial properties, of approximately $52,605 and $40,771, net of a discount of $191 and $255, respectively, which are included as a component of prepaid expenses and other assets, net. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the fair value of the notes receivable, including accrued interest, was $53,482 and $44,352, respectively. The fair value of our notes receivable was determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans with similar remaining maturities would be made to other borrowers. The current market rates we utilized were internally estimated; therefore, we have concluded that our determination of fair value of our notes receivable was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs, as discussed below.

Impairment Charges

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recorded the following net non-cash impairment charges (reversals):



	Year Ended December 31, 2013		Year Ended December 31, 2012			Year Ended December 31, 2011
Sold Operating Properties	$	1,605	$	1,438		$	6,214
Impairment—Discontinued Operations	$	1,605	$	1,438		$	6,214
Sold Land Parcels	$	—	$	—		$	(5,918	)
Operating Properties Not Held for Sale	1,047		(192		)	(1,755		)
Land Parcels	—		—			(1,202		)
Impairment—Continuing Operations	$	1,047	$	(192	)	$	(8,875	)
Total Net Impairment	$	2,652	$	1,246		$	(2,661	)

The net impairment charges for assets that qualify to be classified as held for sale are calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the properties and land parcels and the estimated fair value, less costs to sell. The impairment charges for assets not held for sale are calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the properties and land parcels and the estimated fair value. The net impairment charges recorded during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are due to marketing certain properties and land parcels for sale and our assessment of the likelihood and timing of a potential sale transaction. Catch-up depreciation and amortization has been recorded during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, if applicable, for certain assets that are no longer classified as held for sale.

The accounting guidance for the fair value measurement provisions for the impairment of long lived assets establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The real estate assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were either sold or are recorded at carrying value at December 31, 2013.

The fair market values were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analyses using expected cash flows, internal valuations of real estate and third party offers. For operational real estate assets, the most significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analyses included the discount rate, projected occupancy levels, market rental rates, capital expenditures and the terminal capitalization rate. For the valuation of land parcels, we reviewed recent comparable sales transactions, to the extent available, or if not available, we considered older comparable transactions, adjusted upward or downward to reflect management’s assumptions about current market conditions. In all cases, members of our management team that were responsible for the individual markets where the land parcels were located determined the internal valuations. Valuations based on third party offers include bona fide contract prices and letter of intent amounts that we believe are indicative of fair value.
