CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS (UNAUDITED)

(Continued)

 

Supplemental non-cash investing and financing activities:

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we deconsolidated an investment with carrying values for its net investment in properties, non-recourse debt, and accrued interest of $8.7 million, $13.0 million, and $0.4 million, respectively, and recognized a gain on the deconsolidation of $4.7 million (Note 13).

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we deconsolidated an investment with carrying values for its net investment in direct financing leases, non-recourse debt, and accrued interest of $2.4 million, $3.7 million, and $0.3 million, respectively, and recognized a gain on the deconsolidation of $1.6 million (Note 5).

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred trade taxes related to prior years’ activity on our Hellweg 2 investment of $2.4 million. The taxes were attributable to our third-party partner’s redeemable noncontrolling interest in the investment and paid by that partner.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we reclassified $0.6 million related to a property from Net investments in direct financing leases to Real estate in connection with a tenant lease termination (Note 5).

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we paid asset management fees of $9.8 million and $9.5 million, respectively, to the advisor in shares (Note 3).

 

During the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, we declared distributions totaling $34.7 million and $33.8 million, respectively, which were paid on October 15, 2013 and October 16, 2012, respectively.

CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 16 – GLOBAL INCORPORATED

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1. Business and Organization

 

Corporate Property Associates 16 – Global Incorporated (“CPA®:16 – Global” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries and predecessors, “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a publicly owned, non-listed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests primarily in commercial properties leased to companies domestically and internationally. We were formed in 2003 and are managed by W. P. Carey Inc. (“WPC”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “advisor”). As a REIT, we are not subject to United States (“U.S.”) federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income, the level of our distributions, and other factors. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, primarily on a triple-net lease basis, which requires the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. Revenue is subject to fluctuation primarily because of the timing of new lease transactions, lease terminations, lease expirations, contractual rent adjustments, tenant defaults, and sales of properties.

 

At September 30, 2013, our portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 477 properties, substantially all of which were triple-net leased to 140 tenants, and totaled approximately 46 million square feet, with an occupancy rate of approximately 98.0%. In addition, our portfolio contained our ownership interests in two hotel properties, which had an aggregate carrying value of $67.3 million at September 30, 2013.

 

On May 2, 2011, Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated (“CPA®:14”) merged with and into CPA 16 Merger Sub, Inc. (“CPA 16 Merger Sub”), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “CPA®:14/16 Merger”). Following the consummation of the CPA®:14/16 Merger, we implemented an internal reorganization pursuant to which we were reorganized as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (the “UPREIT Reorganization”) to hold substantially all of our assets and liabilities in CPA 16 LLC (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited liability company subsidiary (Note 3). At September 30, 2013, we owned 99.985% of general and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 0.015% interest in the Operating Partnership is held by a subsidiary of WPC.

 

On July 25, 2013, we and WPC entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which we will merge with and into one of WPC’s subsidiaries and CPA®:16 – Global’s stockholders will receive shares of WPC common stock as merger consideration, based on a fixed value of $11.25 per share, subject to a pricing collar, as discussed further in Note 3 (the “Proposed Merger”).

 

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

 

Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared, without audit, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”).

 

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in the 2012 Annual Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

 

Actual results could differ from those estimates. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Report have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the disposition (or planned disposition) of certain properties as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries and our tenancy-in-common interests, as described below. The portion of equity in a consolidated subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us is presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

CPA®:16 – Global 9/30/2013 10-Q — 7

 


Table of Contents

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have investments in tenancy-in-common interests in various domestic and international properties. Consolidation of these investments is not required as such interests do not qualify as VIEs and do not meet the control requirement required for consolidation. Accordingly, we account for these investments using the equity method of accounting. We use the equity method of accounting because the shared decision-making involved in a tenancy-in-common interest investment provides us with significant influence on the operating and financial decisions of these investments.

 

Additionally, we own interests in single-tenant net leased properties leased to companies through noncontrolling interests in partnerships and limited liability companies that we do not control but over which we exercise significant influence. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. At times, the carrying value of our equity investments may fall below zero for certain investments. We intend to fund our share of the jointly-owned investments’ future operating deficits should the need arise. However, we have no legal obligation to pay for any of the liabilities of such investments nor do we have any legal obligation to fund operating deficits.

 

We apply accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease as well as certain decision-making rights within a loan can cause us to consider an entity a VIE.

 

Out-of-Period Adjustments

 

During the third quarter of 2013, we identified an error in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 in connection with the finalization of a tax return for an investment in Germany, which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The error originated based upon the application of a tax law change that became effective in 2012, but for which the accounting was not finalized and recorded until the third quarter of 2013. As a result of this error, both our Net income (loss) attributable to CPA®:16 – Global stockholders and Income from continuing operations before income taxes from our proportionate share of this investment were overstated by $0.4 million in 2012, and understated by $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. We also identified an error in the consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of 2013 in connection with the under-accrual of a tax expense due to a clerical error. As a result of this error, both our Net income (loss) attributable to CPA®:16 – Global stockholders and Income from continuing operations before income taxes from our proportionate share of this investment were overstated by $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and understated by $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. We have concluded that both adjustments are not material to the current period or any prior period’s consolidated financial statements. As such, the cumulative charges were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013, rather than restating prior periods.

Recent Accounting Requirements

 

The following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) are applicable to us as indicated:

 

ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities — In January 2013, the FASB issued an update to ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2013-01 clarifies that the scope of ASU 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting or similar arrangement. These amendments did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations and are applicable to us for our interim and annual reports beginning in 2013 and has been applied retrospectively.

 

ASU 2013-02, Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income — In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 requiring entities to disclose additional information about items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This ASU impacts the form of our disclosures only, is applicable to us for our interim and annual reports beginning in 2013, and has been applied retrospectively. The related additional disclosures are located in Note 12.

 

ASU 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date, a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force — In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, which requires entities to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements (in our case, tenancy-in-common arrangements, Note 6) for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed as the sum of the amount the entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. This ASU is applicable to us for our interim and annual reports beginning in 2014 and shall be applied retrospectively; however, we elected to adopt this ASU early in 2013 and it did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations for any of the periods presented.

 

ASU 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes, a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force — In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, which permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate, also referred to as the “Overnight Index Swap Rate,” to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815, in addition to the U.S. government and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) swap rate. The update also removes the restriction on the use of different benchmark rates for similar hedges. This ASU will be applicable to us for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. Through the date of this Report, we had not entered into any transactions to which this ASU applies.

Note 3. Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties

 

Transactions with the Advisor

 

We have an advisory agreement with the advisor whereby the advisor performs certain services for us under a fee arrangement. On September 28, 2012, we amended and restated certain terms in that advisory agreement, as described below. The fee structure related to asset management fees, initial acquisition fees, subordinated acquisition fees, and subordinated disposition fees was unchanged by the amendment and restatement, and the advisor remained entitled to 10% of the available cash of the Operating Partnership (the “Available Cash Distribution”), as described below. The term of the advisory agreement, which was scheduled to expire on September 30, 2013, has been extended to January 31, 2014. We also have certain agreements with affiliates regarding jointly-owned investments. The following tables present a summary of fees we paid and expenses we reimbursed to the advisor in accordance with the advisory agreement (in thousands):

Asset Management Fees

 

We pay the advisor asset management fees, which are 0.5% per annum of our average invested assets and are computed as provided for in the advisory agreement. The asset management fees are payable in cash or shares of our common stock at the advisor’s option. If the advisor elects to receive all or a portion of its fees in shares, the number of shares issued is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees by our most recently published net asset value per share (“NAV”) as approved by our board of directors. For 2013, the advisor elected to receive its asset management fees in shares of our common stock. In light of the Proposed Merger, however, a Special Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Special Committee”) requested that the advisor receive payment of asset management fees in cash subsequent to July 31, 2013. For 2012, the advisor elected to receive 50% of its asset management fees in cash and 50% in shares of our common stock. Asset management fees are included in Property expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Available Cash Distribution

 

In connection with the UPREIT Reorganization, a subsidiary of WPC (the “Special General Partner”) acquired a special membership interest (“Special Member Interest”) of 0.015% in the Operating Partnership entitling it to receive the Available Cash Distribution, which is measured and paid quarterly in either cash or shares of our common stock, at the advisor’s election. The Available Cash Distribution is defined as cash generated from operations, excluding capital proceeds, as reduced by operating expenses and debt service, excluding prepayments and balloon payments. The Available Cash Distribution is contractually limited to 0.5% of our assets

 

CPA®:16 – Global 9/30/2013 10-Q — 11

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

excluding cash, cash equivalents, and certain short-term investments and non-cash reserves. In the event of a capital transaction such as a sale, exchange, disposition, or refinancing of our net assets, the Special General Partner may also be entitled to receive a distribution in an amount equal to 15% of the excess, if any, of the consideration generated by the capital transaction (net of costs and expenses) after our stockholders have received a return of their invested capital plus a 6% priority return. See Proposed Merger below.

 

Personnel and Overhead Reimbursements

 

Under the terms of the advisory agreement, the advisor allocates a portion of its personnel and overhead expenses to us and the other publicly-owned, non-listed REITs, which are managed by our advisor under the Corporate Property Associates brand name (the “CPA REITs”) and Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated (“CWI”). Effective as of October 1, 2012, the advisor allocates these expenses on the basis of our trailing four quarters of reported revenues and those of WPC, the CPA REITs, and CWI. Prior to that date, these costs were allocated on the basis of time charges incurred by the advisor’s personnel on behalf of the CPA REITs and CWI.

 

We reimburse the advisor for various expenses it incurs in the course of providing services to us. We reimburse certain third-party expenses paid by the advisor on our behalf, including property-specific costs, professional fees, office expenses, and business development expenses. In addition, we reimburse the advisor for the allocated costs of personnel and overhead in managing our day-to-day operations, including accounting services, stockholder services, corporate management, and property management and operations. We do not reimburse the advisor for the cost of personnel if these personnel provide services for transactions for which the advisor receives a transaction fee, such as acquisitions, dispositions, and refinancings. Personnel and office rent reimbursements are included in General and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The advisor is obligated to reimburse us for the amount by which our operating expenses exceeds the “2%/25% guidelines” (the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income) as defined in the advisory agreement for any 12-month period. If in any year our operating expenses exceed the 2%/25% guidelines, the advisor will have an obligation to reimburse us for such excess, subject to certain conditions. If our independent directors find that the excess expenses were justified based on any unusual and nonrecurring factors that they deem sufficient, the advisor may be paid in future years for the full amount or any portion of such excess expenses, but only to the extent that the reimbursement would not cause our operating expenses to exceed this limit in any such year. We will record any reimbursement of operating expenses as a liability until any contingencies are resolved and will record the reimbursement as a reduction of asset management fees at such time that a reimbursement is fixed, determinable, and irrevocable. Our operating expenses have not exceeded the amount that would require the advisor to reimburse us.

 

Transaction Fees

 

We pay the advisor acquisition fees for structuring and negotiating investments and related mortgage financing on our behalf. Acquisition fees are 4.5% or less of the aggregate cost of investments acquired and are comprised of a current portion of 2.5%, which is paid at the date the property is purchased, and a deferred portion of 2%, which is payable in equal annual installments each January of the three calendar years following the date on which a property was purchased, subject to satisfying a 6% preferred return. Interest is accrued on unpaid installments of the deferred portion at 5% per year. Current and deferred acquisition fees are capitalized and included in the cost basis of the assets acquired. Mortgage refinancing fees, which are paid at the discretion of our board of directors, equal up to 1% of the principal and are capitalized to deferred financing costs and amortized over the life of the new loans.

 

The advisor may be entitled to receive a disposition fee in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 50.0% of the competitive real estate commission (as defined in the advisory agreement) or (ii) 3.0% of the contract sales price of the investment being sold; however, payment of such fees is subordinated to the 6% preferred return. These fees, which are paid at the discretion of our board of directors, are deferred and are payable to the advisor only in connection with a liquidity event. See Proposed Merger below.

 

Proposed Merger

 

On July 25, 2013, we and WPC entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which we will merge with and into one of WPC’s subsidiaries and CPA®:16 – Global’s stockholders will receive shares of WPC common stock as merger consideration, based on a fixed value of $11.25 per share, subject to a pricing collar, as discussed further below. On October 1, 2013, WPC filed a registration statement with the SEC to register the shares of its common stock to be issued to our stockholders in connection with the Proposed Merger. Special meetings will be scheduled to obtain the approval of the Proposed Merger by our stockholders and by WPC’s stockholders, and the closing of the Proposed Merger also is subject to customary closing conditions. If the Proposed Merger is approved by our stockholders and the stockholders of WPC and the other closing conditions are met, we expect that the closing will occur by the first quarter of 2014, although there can be no assurance of such timing.

 

CPA®:16 – Global 9/30/2013 10-Q — 12

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, our stockholders will receive shares of WPC common stock in exchange for their shares of CPA®:16 – Global stock, pursuant to an exchange ratio based upon a value of $11.25 per share of CPA®:16 – Global and the volume weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of WPC common stock for the five consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day preceding the closing date of the transaction. The exchange ratio is subject to a 12% collar based on the VWAP of WPC common stock on July 22, 2013 and July 23, 2013, which results in an exchange ratio of not more than 0.1842 shares and not less than 0.1447 shares of WPC common stock for each share of CPA®:16 – Global stock (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). No fractional shares will be issued in the Proposed Merger, and our stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares.

 

Based on our outstanding common stock of approximately 206,300,000 shares at September 30, 2013, excluding the approximately 38,200,000 shares held by WPC, and the Per Share Merger Consideration, based on the VWAP of WPC common stock for the five days ended October 31, 2013 of 0.1676 shares, in the Proposed Merger WPC would issue approximately 28,200,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for the shares of our common stock it does not currently own. The estimated aggregate value of such shares issued in the Proposed Merger would be approximately $1.9 billion, based on the closing price of WPC common stock on October 31, 2013 of $66.61 per share. The nominal value of the Per Share Merger Consideration and estimated total merger consideration may be higher or lower as of the date of closing due to changes in the market price of WPC’s common stock, subject to the limitations of the collar discussed above.

 

Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Special Committee was permitted to solicit, receive, evaluate, and enter into negotiations with respect to alternative proposals from third parties through August 24, 2013 (the “Go Shop Period”). There were no qualifying proposals received during the Go Shop Period.

 

The merger agreement contains certain termination rights for both us and WPC. Each party has agreed to pay the other party’s out-of-pocket expenses in the event that the merger agreement is terminated because such party has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements. Through September 30, 2013, we and WPC have incurred merger expenses totaling approximately $2.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

 

Pursuant to the merger agreement, WPC has agreed to waive its rights to receive certain fees and distributions to which it would otherwise be entitled upon consummation of the Proposed Merger (the “Back End Amounts”). In the event that the merger agreement has been terminated under certain circumstances in connection with a CPA 16 Superior Competing Transaction (as defined in the merger agreement), we have agreed to pay WPC an up-front termination fee of $57.0 million, which would be offset against any Back End Amounts paid to WPC.

 

In light of the Proposed Merger, our board of directors has suspended our distribution reinvestment and share purchase plan (“DRIP”). As a result, our stockholders who were previously enrolled in our DRIP have received cash distributions beginning in October 2013. In addition, our board of directors has suspended our share redemption plan, with the exception of special-circumstances redemptions as defined under the plan.

 

Jointly-Owned Investments and Other Transactions with Affiliates

 

We own interests ranging from 25% to 90% in jointly-owned investments, with the remaining interests generally held by affiliates. We consolidate certain of these investments and account for the remainder under the equity method of accounting. We also own interests in jointly-controlled tenancy-in-common interests in properties, which we account for under the equity method of accounting.

 

At September 30, 2013, excluding its ownership in the Special Member Interest, the advisor owned 38,229,294 shares, or 18.5%, of our common stock.

On May 30, 2013, we entered into one domestic investment for an industrial and office facility, which was deemed to be a real estate asset acquisition because we entered into a new lease with the seller, at a cost of $4.9 million, including net lease intangible assets of $0.7 million (Note 7) and acquisition-related costs and fees of $0.2 million, which were capitalized.

 

Assets disposed of and reclassified as held-for-sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 accounted for $62.5 million of the decrease in real estate and are discussed in Note 13.

 

During this period, the U.S. dollar weakened against the euro, as the end-of-period rate for the U.S. dollar in relation to the euro at September 30, 2013 increased by 2.3% to $1.3525 from $1.3218 at December 31, 2012. The impact of this weakening was a $12.7 million increase in the carrying value of Real estate from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we reclassified $0.6 million related to a property from Net investments in direct financing leases to Real estate in connection with a tenant lease termination (Note 5).

 

During the third quarter of 2012, we identified a receivable which we had acquired as part of the CPA®:14/16 Merger in the second quarter of 2011 that was not recorded at that time. The receivable, if recorded during the second quarter of 2011, would have resulted in an increase to the bargain purchase gain from the CPA®:14/16 Merger in that quarter of $1.6 million. This change was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the third quarter of 2012.

Note 5. Finance Receivables

 

Assets representing rights to receive money on demand or at fixed or determinable dates are referred to as finance receivables. Our finance receivable portfolios consist of our Notes receivable and Net investments in direct financing leases.

 

Notes Receivable

 

Hellweg 2

 

Under the terms of the note receivable acquired in connection with the April 2007 investment in which we and our affiliates acquired a property-owning entity (“Propco”) that in turn acquired a 24.7% ownership interest in a limited partnership and a lending entity (the “Lender”) that made a loan (the “Hellweg 2 Note”) to the holder of the remaining 75.3% interests in the limited partnership (“Hellweg

2 Transaction”), the Lender will receive interest at a fixed annual rate of 8%. The Hellweg 2 Note matures on April 5, 2017. The Hellweg 2 Note had a principal balance of $22.3 million and $21.7 million, inclusive of our affiliates’ noncontrolling interest of $16.6 million and $16.1 million, at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. As described in Note 14, the Hellweg 2 Note was redeemed on October 31, 2013.

 

Production Resource Group, LLC

 

In January 2012, we restructured our lease with Production Resource Group, LLC (“PRG”) so as to extend the lease term to June 2029 and also give PRG the option to purchase the property at predetermined dates and prices during the lease term. If PRG does not exercise its purchase option during the term of the lease, the property transfers to PRG for $1 at the end of the lease term. The restructured lease was accounted for as a sales-type lease due to the automatic transfer of title at the end of the lease. In addition, because the minimum initial and continuing investment criteria were not met at the inception of the sales-type lease, the sale of the asset was accounted for under the deposit method. At the time of the restructuring, the property was not derecognized and all periodic cash payments received under the lease were carried on the balance sheet as a deposit liability until approximately 5% of the purchase price had been collected. By October 2012, the aggregate cash payments received crossed the 5% threshold, and accordingly we derecognized the property and recognized a gain of $0.1 million. We also recognized a note receivable, which had a balance of $11.6 million and $11.8 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, to reflect the expected future payments under the lease. The remaining deferred gain of $3.8 million as of September 30, 2013 will be recognized into income in proportion to the principal payments on the note until we have received 20% of the purchase price. At that time, the full gain will be recognized.

 

Other

 

We own a B-note receivable that totaled $9.9 million and $9.8 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, with a fixed annual interest rate of 6.3% and a maturity date of February 11, 2015.

 

Credit Quality of Finance Receivables

 

We generally seek investments in facilities that we believe are critical to each tenant’s business and that we believe have a low risk of tenant defaults. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we established an allowance for credit losses of $9.4 million on several properties due to a decline in the estimated amount of future payments we will receive from the respective tenants, including the early termination of the direct financing leases. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, none of the balances of our finance receivables were past due. Our allowance for uncollected accounts was less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Additionally, there have been no modifications of finance receivables during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. We evaluate the credit quality of our tenant receivables utilizing an internal 5-point credit rating scale, with 1 representing the highest credit quality and 5 representing the lowest. The credit quality evaluation of our tenant receivables was last updated in the third quarter of 2013.

 

A summary of our finance receivables by internal credit quality rating for the periods presented is as follows (dollars in thousands):

In August 2013, we sold a portion of a parcel of land classified as Net investments in direct financing leases for $0.4 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a gain on the sale of $0.4 million. The gain on the sale is included in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Following the sale, the tenant leasing the building on the remaining parcel of land terminated its lease with us. As a result, we reclassified the investment from Net investments in direct financing leases to Real estate for $0.6 million.

 

In January 2013, a tenant in one of our domestic properties classified as Net investments in direct financing leases filed for bankruptcy and a bankruptcy court appointed a receiver to sell the property. In May 2013, we transferred our interest in the property to the tenant at the instruction of the lender. In August 2013, the property was sold in a foreclosure auction and we were relieved of our liability, at which point we deconsolidated the investment with carrying values for its net investment in direct financing leases, non-recourse debt, and accrued interest of $2.4 million, $3.7 million, and $0.3 million, respectively, and recognized a gain on the deconsolidation of $1.6 million.

 

Note 6. Equity Investments in Real Estate

 

We own equity interests in single-tenant net leased properties that are generally leased to companies through noncontrolling interests (i) in partnerships and limited liability companies that we do not control but over which we exercise significant influence or (ii) as tenants-in-common subject to common control. Generally, the underlying investments are jointly-owned with affiliates. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. Earnings for each investment are recognized in accordance with each respective investment agreement. Investments in unconsolidated investments are required to be evaluated periodically. We periodically compare an investment’s carrying value to its estimated fair value and recognize an impairment charge to the extent that the carrying value exceeds fair value and such decline is determined to be other than temporary.

(a)         This investment is jointly-owned with WPC.

(b)         In January 2013, this investment repaid three mortgage loans encumbering seven of its properties totaling $64.8 million, of which our share was $32.4 million. Additionally, the investment obtained new non-recourse mortgage financing encumbering six of its properties with proceeds totaling $62.5 million, of which our share was $31.3 million.

(c)          We received distributions of $3.9 million and $3.3 million from this investment during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(d)         This investment is jointly-owned with WPC and Corporate Property Associates 17 - Global Incorporated (“CPA®:17 - Global”), one of the CPA REITs.

(e)          We received distributions of $3.8 million and $3.5 million from this investment during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(f)           We received distributions of $4.1 million and $4.2 million from this investment during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(g)          We received distributions of $3.8 million from this investment during both the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

(h)         These investments are considered tenancy-in-common interests, whereby the property is encumbered by debt for which we are jointly and severally liable. For these investments, the co-obligor is WPC and the aggregate amount due under the arrangements was approximately $75.9 million. Of this amount, $46.1 million represents the amount we agreed to pay and is included within the carrying value of these investments.

(i)             The carrying value of this investment is affected by the impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate of the euro.

(j)            In September 2013, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $0.5 million on this investment (Note 8).

(k)        This investment is jointly-owned with CPA®:17 - Global.

(l)             This decrease was primarily due to our receipt of distributions from the investment greater than income recognized by the investment.

(m)     This increase was primarily due to the investment’s share of other comprehensive income recognized on interest rate swap derivative instruments.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(n)         This decrease reflects losses recorded by the investment during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

We recognized net income from equity investments in real estate of $5.6 million and net loss from equity investments in real estate of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and net income from equity investments in real estate of $17.2 million and $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net income from equity investments in real estate represents our proportionate share of the income or losses of these investments as well as certain depreciation and amortization adjustments related to other-than-temporary impairment charges and basis differentials from acquisitions of certain investments. During the third quarter of 2012, we recognized other-than-temporary impairment charges totaling $6.9 million to reduce the carrying values of the properties held by several jointly-owned investments to their estimated fair values (Note 8).

 

Note 7. Intangible Assets and Liabilities

 

In connection with our acquisitions of properties, we have recorded net lease intangibles, which are being amortized over periods ranging from four years to 40 years. In-place lease intangibles are included in In-place lease intangible assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. Tenant relationship, above-market rent, below-market ground lease, management contract, and franchise agreement intangibles are included in Other intangible assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. Below-market rent intangibles are included in Prepaid and deferred rental income and security deposits in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps and swaps; and Level 3, for securities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

 

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items we have also provided the unobservable inputs along with their weighted-average ranges.

 

Derivative Assets — Our derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, and an interest rate cap, as well as stock warrants that were granted to us by lessees in connection with structuring initial lease transactions (Note 9). The foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, and interest rate cap were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. Our stock warrants are not traded in an active market. We estimated the fair value of these assets using internal valuation models that incorporate market inputs and our own assumptions about future cash flows. We classified these assets as Level 3.

 

Derivative Liabilities — Our derivative liabilities are comprised of interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts and are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements (Note 9). These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

 

We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during either the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings are reported in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.

__________

 

(a)         We determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the tenant/obligor and interest rate risk. We also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, the time until maturity, and the current market interest rate.

(b)         We determined the estimated fair value of our deferred acquisition fees based on an estimate of discounted cash flows using two significant unobservable inputs, which are the leverage adjusted unsecured spread and an illiquidity adjustment of 380 bps and 75 bps, respectively. Significant increases or decreases to these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement.

 

We estimated that our remaining financial assets and liabilities (excluding net investments in direct financing leases) had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges)

 

We periodically assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our real estate investments may be impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. For investments in real estate for which an impairment indicator is identified, we follow a two-step process to determine whether an investment is impaired and the amount of the charge. First, we compare the carrying value of the property’s asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows that we expect the property’s asset group will generate, including any estimated proceeds from the eventual sale of the property’s asset group. If this amount is less than the carrying value, the property’s asset group is considered to be impaired, and we then measure the impairment charge as the excess of the carrying value of the property’s asset group over the estimated fair value of the property’s asset group, which is primarily determined using market information such as recent comparable sales or broker quotes. If relevant market information is not available or is not deemed appropriate, we perform a future net cash flow analysis discounted for inherent risk associated with each investment. We determined that the significant inputs used to value these investments fall within Level 3 for fair value accounting. As a result of our assessments, we calculated impairment charges based on market conditions and assumptions that existed at the time. The valuation of real estate is subject to significant judgment and actual results may differ materially if market conditions or the underlying assumptions change.

__________

 

(a)         The fair value measurement related to the impairment charge recognized on Equity investments in real estate during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was based on the contractual sale price for a property held by a jointly-owned investment for the potential sale of the property that had not been consummated as of the date of this Report. There can be no assurance that the sale will occur at the contracted price or at all.

(b)         The fair value measurements related to the impairment charges recognized on Equity investments in real estate during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were determined by our advisor, relying in part on the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate and mortgage debt, both of which were provided by a third party. The fair value of real estate was determined by reference to portfolio appraisals that determined their values on a property level. The portfolio appraisals apply a discounted cash flow analysis to the estimated net operating income for each property during the remaining anticipated lease term, and the estimated residual value of each property from a hypothetical sale of the property upon expiration of the lease. The proceeds from a hypothetical sale were derived by capitalizing the estimated net operating income of each property for the year following lease expiration after considering the re-tenanting of such property at estimated then-current market rental rate, at a selected capitalization rate, and deducting estimated costs of sale.

 

The discount rates and residual capitalization rates used to value the properties were selected based on several factors, including the creditworthiness of the lessees, industry surveys, property type, location and age, current lease rates relative to market lease rates, and anticipated lease duration. In the case where a tenant had a purchase option deemed by the appraiser to be materially

Table of Contents

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

favorable to the tenant, or the tenant had long-term renewal options at rental rates below estimated market rental rates, the appraisal assumed the exercise of such purchase option or long-term renewal options in its determination of residual value. Where a property was deemed to have excess land, the discounted cash flow analysis included the estimated excess land value at the assumed expiration of the lease, based upon an analysis of comparable land sales or listings in the general market area of the property grown at estimated market growth rates through the year of lease expiration. For those properties that were currently under contract for sale, the appraised value of the portfolio reflected the current contractual sale price of such properties.

 

Real estate valuation requires significant judgment. We determined the significant inputs to be Level 3 with ranges for the underlying real estate and for our Equity investments in real estate as follows:

 

·                  discount rates applied to the estimated net operating income of each property ranged from approximately 3.5% to 15.3%, with a weighted-average discount rate of 9.5%;

·                  discount rates applied to the estimated residual value of each property ranged from approximately 6.0% to 13.3%, with a weighted-average discount rate of 9.5%;

·                  residual capitalization rates applied to the properties ranged from approximately 7.0% to 12.5%, with a weighted-average capitalization rate of 8.1%. The fair value of such property-level debt was determined based upon available market data for comparable liabilities and by applying selected discount rates to the stream of future debt payments; and

·                  discount rates applied to the future property-level debt for valuing equity investments ranged from approximately 2.0% to 8.6%, with a weighted-average discount rate of 5.1%, excluding situations where fair value of assets was estimated to be lower than the outstanding balance of property-level debt, and thus debt was capped at the value of assets securing it, as the loans are non-recourse.

 

No illiquidity adjustments to the Equity investments in real estate were deemed necessary as the investments are held with affiliates and do not allow for unilateral sale or financing by any of the affiliated parties. Furthermore, the discount rates and/or capitalization rates utilized in the appraisals also reflect the illiquidity of real estate assets. Lastly, there were no control premiums contemplated as the investments were in individual underlying real estate and debt, as opposed to a business operation.

 

(c)          The fair value measurements related to the impairment charges recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were based on purchase and sale agreements for the potential sales of several properties that were subsequently consummated.

(d)         The fair value measurements, which incorporate the allowance for credit losses recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, were based on management’s estimate of the collectability of future payments from the respective tenants.

(e)          The fair value measurements related to the impairment charges recognized on several properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were based on:

 

·                  a purchase and sale agreement for the potential sale of several properties leased to one tenant. We completed the sale in October 2013; and

·                  a third-party appraisal, subject to our corroboration for reasonableness. The third party utilized local average rent rates for the previous five years and sales of comparable properties to determine a fair value range of $75-$85 per square foot.

 

Significant impairment charges, and their related triggering events, recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

 

Direct Financing Leases

 

2013 — During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded an allowance for credit losses of $3.6 million on a property accounted for as Net investments in direct financing leases due to a decline in the estimated amount of future payments we will receive from the property’s tenant, including the early termination of the direct financing lease (Note 5).

 

Equity Investments in Real Estate

 

2013 — During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized an impairment charge of $0.5 million to reduce the carrying value of a property held by a jointly-owned investment to its estimated fair value based on a purchase and sale agreement for the potential sale of the property that had not been consummated as of the date of this Report. There can be no assurance that the sale will occur at the contracted price or at all.

Table of Contents

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

2012 — During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized impairment charges totaling $6.9 million to reduce the carrying value of properties held by two jointly-owned investments to their estimated fair values. Valuations indicated severe declines in the values of the assets, due to a decline in market conditions and a tenant at one of the properties giving notice that it would not renew its lease.

 

Properties Sold or Held for Sale

 

2013 — During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized an impairment charge of $9.3 million on a property in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated fair value due to the property’s tenant filing for bankruptcy during the first quarter of 2013. Because a market participant would likely not have ascribed any value to the tenant’s lease, the fair value of the property reflected the value as if it were vacant. The property was sold in June 2013 (Note 13). The results of operations for this property are included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2013, we sold several properties leased to one tenant. Included in this disposal group were properties accounted for as Net investments in properties and Net investments in direct financing leases. At September 30, 2013, this disposal group was classified as Assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized impairment charges totaling $3.0 million, inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of $0.9 million, on the properties accounted for as Net investments in properties. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded an allowance for credit losses of $5.7 million, inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of $1.7 million, due to a decline in the estimated amount of future payments we expect to receive from the tenant, including the early termination of the direct financing leases (Note 5).

 

2012 — During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized impairment charges totaling $6.5 million on several properties in order to reduce their carrying values to their estimated fair values based on a change in our estimated holding period during the third quarter of 2012 due to potential sales of the properties. The properties were sold in November 2012. The results of operations for these properties are included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated financial statements.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized an impairment charge of $0.5 million on a property in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated fair value due to the tenant vacating the property. The property was sold in June 2012. The results of operations for this property are included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 9. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Risk Management

 

In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are three main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing assets and liabilities, including our secured credit agreement (the “Line of Credit,” Note 10). Credit risk is the risk of default on our operations and our tenants’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans as well as changes in the value of our other investments due to changes in interest rates or other market factors. In addition, we own investments outside the U.S. and are subject to the risks associated with changing foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

 

When we use derivative instruments, it is generally to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. We have not entered, and do not plan to enter, into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition to derivative instruments that we entered into on our own behalf, we may also be a party to derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts, and we may own common stock warrants, granted to us by lessees when structuring lease transactions, which are considered to be derivative instruments. The primary risks related to our use of derivative instruments include default by a counterparty to a hedging arrangement on its obligation and a downgrade in the credit quality of a counterparty to such an extent that our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction is impaired. While we seek to mitigate these risks by entering into hedging arrangements with counterparties that are large financial institutions that we deem to be creditworthy, it is possible that our hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect our earnings. Furthermore, if we

Table of Contents

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

terminate a hedging arrangement, we may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. We have established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting, and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities.

 

We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivative designated and that qualified as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.

See below for information on our purposes for entering into derivative instruments, including those not designated as hedging instruments, and for information on derivative instruments owned by unconsolidated investments, which are excluded from the tables above.

 

Interest Rate Swaps and Caps

 

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our investment partners may obtain variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans and, as a result, may enter into interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of the loan to a fixed rate, are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific period. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. Interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.

 

The interest rate swaps and caps that we had outstanding on our consolidated subsidiaries at September 30, 2013 that were designated as cash flow hedges are summarized as follows (currency in thousands):

Foreign Currency Contracts

 

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate movements, primarily in the euro and, to a lesser extent, certain other currencies. We manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by generally placing our debt service obligation on an investment in the same currency as the tenant’s rental obligation to us. This reduces our overall exposure to the net cash flow from that investment. However, we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate movements to the extent of the difference in the timing and amount of the rental obligation and the debt service. Realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings related to foreign currency transactions are included in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.

 

In order to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to deliver a certain amount of currency at a certain price on a specific date in the future. By entering into forward contracts and holding them to maturity, we are locked into a future currency exchange rate for the term of the contract.

 

The following table presents the foreign currency derivative contracts we had outstanding and their designations at September 30, 2013 (currency in thousands, except strike price):

Stock Warrants

 

We own stock warrants that were generally granted to us by lessees in connection with structuring initial lease transactions. These warrants are defined as derivative instruments because they are readily convertible to cash or provide for net cash settlement upon conversion.

 

Other

 

Amounts reported in Other comprehensive income (loss) related to interest rate swaps will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. Amounts reported in Other comprehensive income (loss) related to foreign currency derivative contracts will be reclassified to Other income and (expenses) when the hedged foreign currency proceeds from foreign operations are repatriated to the U.S. At September 30, 2013, we estimate that an additional $1.4 million will be reclassified as interest expense during the next 12 months related to our interest rate swaps and caps and $0.9 million will be reclassified to Other income and (expenses) related to our foreign currency forward contracts.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of collateral received, if any. No collateral was received as of September 30, 2013. At September 30, 2013, our total credit exposure was $0.4 million and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $0.2 million.

 

Some of the agreements we have with our derivative counterparties contain certain credit contingent provisions that could result in a declaration of default against us regarding our derivative obligations if we either default or are capable of being declared in default on certain of our indebtedness. At September 30, 2013, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. The estimated fair value of our derivatives that were in a net liability position was $7.3 million and $7.9 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which included accrued interest and any adjustment for nonperformance risk. If we had breached any of these provisions at either September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $7.8 million or $8.5 million, respectively.

 

Portfolio Concentration Risk

 

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a group of tenants is engaged in similar business activities or is subject to similar economic risks or conditions that could cause them to default on their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. While we believe our portfolio is reasonably well diversified, it does contain concentrations in excess of 10%, based on the percentage of our annualized contractual minimum base rent for the third quarter of 2013, in certain areas. There were no significant changes to our portfolio concentrations at September 30, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012.

 

Note 10. Debt

 

Non-Recourse Debt

 

Non-recourse debt consists of mortgage notes payable, which are collateralized by the assignment of real property, and direct financing leases with an aggregate carrying value of $2.3 billion and $2.4 billion at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. At September 30, 2013, our mortgage notes payable bore interest at fixed annual rates ranging from 4.3% to 7.8% and variable contractual annual rates ranging from 1.2% to 6.9%, with maturity dates ranging from 2014 to 2038.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we obtained new non-recourse mortgage financing totaling $16.0 million, with a weighted-average annual interest rate and term of 4.5% and 11.9 years, respectively. Of the total, $3.0 million related to an investment acquired during 2013. Of the total financing, $4.0 million bears interest at a variable rate that has been effectively converted to a fixed annual interest rate of 4.9% through the use of an interest rate swap.

 

In May 2012, we modified and partially extinguished the non-recourse mortgage loan related to our Hellweg 2 investment, which had a total balance of $352.3 million at the time of extinguishment. We recognized a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $5.9 million, inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of $4.2 million.

 

During 2012, we entered into an arrangement with one of our lenders on a non-recourse financing that enabled us to repay the outstanding indebtedness of approximately $10.0 million for cash of approximately $8.7 million. As part of this arrangement, we have a contingent obligation to pay the lender any proceeds received in excess of $6.0 million within two years from a sale of the previously-collateralized property. We have accounted for this as a troubled debt restructuring and, accordingly, we have not recognized a gain on the discounted payoff. We will recognize this gain upon expiration of the contingent obligation.

 

Line of Credit

 

On May 2, 2011, we entered into the Line of Credit with several banks, including Bank of America, N.A., which acts as the administrative agent. CPA 16 Merger Sub is the borrower, and we and the Operating Partnership are guarantors. On August 1, 2012, we amended the Line of Credit to reduce the amount available under the secured revolving credit facility from $320.0 million to $225.0 million, to reduce our annual interest rate from LIBOR plus 3.25% to LIBOR plus 2.50%, and to decrease the number of properties in our borrowing base pool. The Line of Credit is scheduled to mature on August 1, 2015, with an option by CPA 16 Merger Sub to extend the maturity date for an additional 12 months subject to the conditions provided in the Line of Credit. We incurred costs of $1.1 million to amend the facility, which are being amortized over the term of the Line of Credit.

 

Availability under the Line of Credit is dependent upon the number, operating performance, cash flows and diversification of the properties comprising the borrowing base pool. At September 30, 2013, availability under the line was $207.4 million, of which we had drawn $75.0 million.

 

CPA®:16 – Global 9/30/2013 10-Q — 27

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Line of Credit is fully recourse to us and contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict our and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness (other than non-recourse indebtedness), grant liens, dispose of assets, merge or consolidate, make investments, make acquisitions, pay distributions, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, and change the nature of our business or fiscal year. In addition, the Line of Credit contains customary events of default.

 

The Line of Credit stipulates certain financial covenants that require us to maintain certain ratios and benchmarks at the end of each quarter. We were in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2013.

(c)          Represents the unamortized fair value adjustment of $5.6 million resulting from the assumption of property-level debt in connection with the CPA®:14/16 Merger, partially offset by a $1.1 million unamortized discount on a non-recourse loan that we repurchased from the lender.

 

Due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the carrying value of our debt increased by $12.7 million from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013.

 

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

 

At September 30, 2013, we were not involved in any material litigation. Various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business are pending against us. The results of these proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

Note 12. Equity

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

Noncontrolling interests is the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. There were no changes in our ownership interest in any of our consolidated subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Note 13. Discontinued Operations

 

From time to time, we may decide to sell a property. We may make a decision to dispose of a property when it is vacant as a result of tenants vacating space, tenants electing not to renew their leases, tenant insolvency, or lease rejection in the bankruptcy process. In such cases, we assess whether we can obtain the highest value from the property by selling it, as opposed to re-leasing it. We may also sell a property when we receive an unsolicited offer or negotiate a price for an investment that is consistent with our strategy for that investment. When it is appropriate to do so, we classify the property as an asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet and the current and prior period results of operations of the property are reclassified as discontinued operations.

2013 — During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we sold ten properties for an aggregate of $16.4 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on the sales totaling $2.4 million, excluding an impairment charge of $0.8 million previously recognized during the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we sold seven properties for an aggregate of $3.2 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net loss on the sales totaling $8.0 million and lease termination income of $8.1 million, excluding an impairment charge of $2.1 million previously recognized during the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

In March 2013, a tenant in one of our domestic properties filed for bankruptcy and ceased paying rent to us. As a result, we suspended debt service payments on the related non-recourse mortgage loan. In April 2013, the bankruptcy court appointed a receiver to take possession of the property, and we no longer had control over the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of the property. In June 2013, the property was sold in a foreclosure auction, at which point we deconsolidated the investment with carrying values for its net investment in properties, non-recourse debt, and accrued interest of $8.7 million, $13.0 million, and $0.4 million, respectively, and recognized a gain on the deconsolidation of $4.7 million, excluding an impairment charge of $9.3 million recognized during the first quarter of 2013.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we entered into contracts to sell nine domestic properties for $51.4 million. We recognized impairment charges of $3.0 million, inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of $0.9 million, and allowances for credit losses totaling $5.7 million, inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of $1.7 million, on several of these properties during the second quarter of 2013. At September 30, 2013, these properties were classified as Assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets. We completed the sales of the properties in October 2013.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we sold four domestic properties for an aggregate of $27.9 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on the sales totaling $2.7 million, excluding an impairment charge of $1.2 million previously recognized during the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

2012 — During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we sold three domestic properties for an aggregate of $6.8 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on the sales totaling less than $0.1 million, a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million, and lease termination income of $0.5 million, excluding impairment charges of $0.5 million recognized during the first quarter of 2012.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we sold five domestic properties for an aggregate of $11.8 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net loss on the sales totaling $2.2 million and lease termination income of $0.8 million.

 

We sold three additional properties during 2012 subsequent to September 30, 2012. We recognized impairment charges totaling $6.5 million on several of these properties during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The results of operations for these properties are included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

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

 

MD&A is intended to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. MD&A also provides the reader with our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our 2012 Annual Report. In addition, as discussed in Note 3 and below in Recent Developments, we entered into an agreement in July 2013 to merge with WPC, which, if consummated, will result in our becoming a subsidiary of WPC and our stockholders receiving shares of WPC common stock in the transaction.

 

Business Overview

 

As described in more detail in Item 1 in our 2012 Annual Report, we are a publicly owned, non-listed REIT that invests in commercial properties leased to companies domestically and internationally. As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income, the level of our distributions to our stockholders, and other factors. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, primarily on a triple-net lease basis, which requires the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. Revenue is subject to fluctuation because of the timing of new lease transactions, lease terminations, lease expirations, contractual rent adjustments, tenant defaults, and sales of properties.

(a)         We consider the performance metrics listed above, including Modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), a supplemental measure that is not defined by GAAP (“non-GAAP”), to be important measures in the evaluation of our results of operations and capital resources. We evaluate our results of operations with a primary focus on the ability to generate cash flow necessary to meet our objectives of funding distributions to stockholders. See Supplemental Financial Measures below for our definition of this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation to its most directly comparable GAAP measure.

 

Total revenues increased for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations on operations.

 

Net income attributable to CPA®:16 – Global stockholders was generated for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to a loss for the same period in 2012. The increase in Net income attributable to CPA®:16 – Global stockholders was comprised of the positive impact from results of operations of properties in discontinued operations during the current year period, impairment charges recognized on several jointly-owned investments during the prior year period, a gain recognized on the deconsolidation of a subsidiary during the current year period, and a decrease in interest expense, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses due to expenses incurred in connection with the Proposed Merger.

 

Total revenues decreased for the nine months ended 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the impact of Carrefour France, SAS, one of our lessees, declining to exercise its lease termination options on five properties at June 30, 2012,

thereby increasing the period over which straight-line revenue is recognized. These decreases were partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations on operations.

 

Net income attributable to CPA®:16 – Global stockholders increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the positive impact from results of operations of properties in discontinued operations as compared to the prior year period, impairment charges recognized on several jointly-owned investments during the prior year period, a decrease in interest expense during the current year period, and a gain recognized on the deconsolidation of a subsidiary during the current year period. These increases were partially offset by a net gain on the extinguishment of debt recognized in the prior year period, an increase in general and administrative expenses due to expenses incurred in connection with the Proposed Merger, and an allowance for credit losses recognized during the current year period.

 

Our MFFO increased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012, primarily due to a decrease in interest expense during each of the current year periods and, in the case of the current year nine-month period, lease termination income received in connection with the sales of several properties.

 

Our quarterly cash distribution was $0.1682 per share for the third quarter of 2013, which equated to $0.6728 per share on an annualized basis, and was paid on October 15, 2013 to stockholders of record at September 30, 2013.

 

Recent Developments

 

Proposed Merger

 

As more fully described in Note 3, on July 25, 2013, we and WPC entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which we will merge with and into one of WPC’s subsidiaries and CPA®:16 – Global’s stockholders will receive shares of WPC common stock as merger consideration, based on a fixed value of $11.25 per share, subject to a pricing collar. If the Proposed Merger is approved by our stockholders and the stockholders of WPC and the other closing conditions are met, we expect that the closing will occur by the first quarter of 2014, although there can be no assurance of such timing.

Leasing Activity

 

The following discussion presents a summary of our leasing activity on our existing properties for the periods presented and does not include new acquisitions.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we signed four leases, totaling less than 0.1 million square feet of leased space. Of these leases, three were with new tenants and one was a short-term extension with an existing tenant. The average rent for this leased space decreased from $16.06 per square foot to $13.82 per square foot. None of the tenants received tenant improvement allowances or concessions.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we signed three leases, totaling less than 0.1 million square feet of leased space. These leases were renewals or short-term extensions with existing tenants.  The average rent for this leased space increased from $16.74 per square foot to $17.07 per square foot after the renewals. None of the tenants received tenant improvement allowances or concessions.

 

CPA®:16 – Global 9/30/2013 10-Q 37

 


Table of Contents

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we signed 11 leases, totaling approximately 0.3 million square feet of leased space. Of these leases, five were with new tenants and six were renewals or short-term extensions with existing tenants. The average rent for this leased space decreased from $8.00 per square foot to $6.49 per square foot. One of the tenants received a tenant improvement allowance of $0.8 million.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we signed seven leases, totaling approximately 0.5 million square feet of leased space. These leases were renewals or short-term extensions with existing tenants. The average rent for this leased space increased from $5.53 per square foot to $5.55 per square foot after the renewals. None of the tenants received tenant improvement allowances or concessions.

 

Lease Revenues

 

As of September 30, 2013, approximately 75% of our net leases, based on annualized contractual minimum base rent, provide for adjustments based on formulas indexed to changes in the CPI, or other similar indices for the jurisdiction in which the property is located, some of which have caps and/or floors. In addition, approximately 23% of our net leases on that same basis have fixed rent adjustments with contractual minimum base rent scheduled to increase by an average of 2% in the next 12 months. We own international investments and, therefore, lease revenues from these investments are subject to fluctuations in exchange rate movements in foreign currencies, primarily the euro.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, lease revenues increased by $2.3 million, primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $1.1 million, scheduled index-based rent increases of $0.8 million, and the effects of leasing activity totaling $0.3 million.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, lease revenues decreased by $1.5 million, primarily due to $5.4 million related to the impact of Carrefour France SAS declining to exercise its lease termination options on five properties at June 30, 2012 and the effects of leasing activity totaling $1.0 million. These decreases were partially offset by scheduled index-based rent increases of $3.2 million and the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $1.7 million.

 

General and Administrative

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012, general and administrative expense increased by $3.7 million and $4.7 million, respectively, primarily due to expenses incurred of $2.4 million related to the Proposed Merger during each of the current year periods (Note 3) and an increase in management expenses of $0.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Management expenses include our reimbursements to the advisor for the allocated costs of personnel and overhead in providing management of our day-to-day operations and increased primarily due to an amendment to the advisory agreement in 2012 related to the basis of allocating advisor personnel expenses and overhead among WPC, the CPA REITs, and CWI (Note 3). The increase for the nine-month period was partially offset by a decrease in professional fees of $1.1 million. Professional fees include legal, accounting, and investor-related expenses incurred in the normal course of business.

 

CPA®:16 – Global 9/30/2013 10-Q 38

Allowance for Credit Losses

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded an allowance for credit losses of $3.6 million on a property classified as Net investments in direct financing leases due to a decline in the estimated amount of future payments we will receive from the property’s tenant, including the early termination of the direct financing lease (Note 8).

 

Net Income (Loss) from Equity Investments in Real Estate

 

Net income from equity investments in real estate represents our proportionate share of net income or loss (revenue less expenses) from investments entered into with affiliates or third parties in which we have a noncontrolling interest but over which we exercise significant influence.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized net income from equity investments in real estate of $5.6 million, which was comprised primarily of equity income of $8.0 million, partially offset by the amortization of basis differences of $1.9 million and an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $0.5 million incurred on a jointly-owned investment (Note 8).

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized net loss from equity investments in real estate of $1.0 million, which was comprised primarily of other-than-temporary impairment charges totaling $6.9 million incurred on two jointly-owned investments (Note 8) and the amortization of basis differences of $1.8 million, partially offset by equity income of $7.7 million.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, net income from equity investments in real estate increased by $5.3 million, primarily due to the impact of the other-than-temporary impairment charges totaling $6.9 million during the prior year period, partially offset by the receipt of our share of non-recurring lease termination income of $1.7 million received in February 2012 from the jointly-owned investment in the property now leased to Arelis Broadcast, Veolia Transport, and Marchal Levage (formerly Thales S.A.) and the impact of an other-than-temporary-impairment charge of $0.5 million incurred on a jointly-owned investment during the current year period.

 

Other Income and (Expenses)

 

Other income and (expenses) primarily consists of gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and derivative instruments. We and certain of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries have intercompany debt or advances that are not denominated in the investment’s functional currency. For intercompany transactions that are of a long-term investment nature, the gain or loss is recognized as a cumulative translation adjustment in Other comprehensive income (loss). We also recognize gains or losses on foreign currency transactions when we repatriate cash from our foreign investments. In addition, we have certain derivative instruments, including common stock warrants, for which realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings. The timing and amount of such gains or losses cannot always be estimated and are subject to fluctuation.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized net other income of $2.2 million, which was comprised of unrealized foreign currency transaction gains of $1.8 million and a gain on the sale of real estate of $0.4 million from the disposition of a parcel of land (Note 5). During the comparable prior year period, we recognized net other income of $1.9 million, which was comprised primarily of net realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains of $1.6 million.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized net other income of $2.1 million, which was comprised primarily of net realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains of $1.1 million and the gain on the sale of real estate of $0.4 million from the disposition of a parcel of land (Note 5).

 

Gain on Deconsolidation of a Subsidiary

 

During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized a gain on the deconsolidation of a subsidiary of $1.6 million (Note 5).

 

(Loss) Gain on Extinguishment of Debt

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a net gain on the extinguishment of debt of $5.5 million. The net gain was comprised primarily of a gain of $5.9 million resulting from the partial extinguishment of the non-recourse mortgage loan outstanding related to our Hellweg 2 investment recognized during the second quarter of 2012 (Note 10).

Bargain Purchase Gain on Acquisition

 

During the third quarter of 2012, we identified a receivable which we had acquired as part of the CPA®:14/16 Merger in the second quarter of 2011 that was not recorded at that time. The receivable, if recorded during the second quarter of 2011, would have resulted in an increase to the bargain purchase gain from the CPA®:14/16 Merger in that quarter of $1.6 million. This change was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the third quarter of 2012 (Note 4).

 

Interest Expense

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012, interest expense decreased by $0.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively, primarily due to the impact of (i) favorable interest rates due to the amendment to the Line of Credit executed on August 1, 2012 (Note 10) totaling $0.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and (ii) the repayment of several non-recourse mortgage loans during 2012 totaling $0.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Additionally, the decrease for the nine-month period was due to the impact of lower interest rates on the variable-rate debt encumbering the properties leased to Carrefour France, SAS totaling $1.3 million.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, provision for income taxes increased by $1.4 million, primarily due to back trade taxes incurred by our third-party redeemable noncontrolling interest partner in our Hellweg 2 investment during the current year period totaling $2.4 million, partially offset by decreases in foreign tax estimates on our Tesco PLC and Carrefour France, SAS portfolios of $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

 

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax

 

As part of our portfolio management strategy, we exit from investments containing lower-quality, lower-growth assets. We have been marketing several properties for sale. We evaluate all potential sale opportunities taking into account the long-term growth prospects of assets being sold, the use of proceeds, and the impact to our balance sheet, in addition to the impact on operating results. In our experience, it is difficult for many buyers to complete these transactions in the timing contemplated or at all. Where the undiscounted cash flows, when considering and evaluating the various alternative courses of action that may occur, are less than the asset’s carrying value, we recognize an impairment charge to reduce the property to its estimated fair value. Further, it is possible that we may sell an asset for a price below its estimated fair value and record a loss on sale.

 

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax represents the net income or loss (revenue less expenses) from the operations of properties that were sold or held for sale (Note 13).

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized income from discontinued operations of $5.5 million and loss from discontinued operations of $2.3 million, respectively. Income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was comprised primarily of net income generated from the operations of properties in discontinued operations of $3.1 million and a net gain on the sale of real estate totaling $2.4 million from the disposition of ten properties. The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was comprised primarily of impairment charges and allowances for credit losses totaling $18.1 million and a net loss on the sale of real estate totaling $3.0 million from the disposition of 21 properties, partially offset by lease termination income of $8.1 million received in connection with the sales of several properties, net income generated from the operations of properties in discontinued operations of $5.9 million, and a gain of $4.7 million recognized on the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $5.2 million and $10.7 million, respectively. The loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was comprised primarily of impairment charges of $6.5 million, partially offset by net income generated from the operations of properties in discontinued operations of $1.2 million. The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was comprised primarily of impairment charges of $6.9 million, a net loss on the sale of real estate totaling $2.2 million from the disposition of eight properties, and net loss generated from the operations of properties in discontinued operations of $1.3 million.

 

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by $0.6 million and decreased by $5.7 million, respectively. The decrease for the nine-month period was primarily due to our affiliates’ share of a gain on extinguishment of debt related to the modification and partial extinguishment of

the non-recourse mortgage loan on our Hellweg 2 investment in May 2012 of $4.2 million (Note 10), and impairment charges and allowance for credit losses attributable to noncontrolling interests recognized on several properties during the second quarter of 2013 of $2.6 million (Note 8).

 

Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized a loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $1.0 million, primarily due to the back trade taxes paid by our third-party redeemable noncontrolling interest partner in our Hellweg 2 investment totaling $2.4 million, offset by income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest totaling $1.4 million.

 

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to CPA®:16 – Global Stockholders

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012, the resulting net income (loss) attributable to CPA®:16 – Global stockholders increased by $17.7 million and $14.2 million, respectively.

 

Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”)

 

MFFO is a non-GAAP measure that we use to evaluate our business. For a definition of MFFO and a reconciliation to net income attributable to CPA®:16 – Global stockholders, see Supplemental Financial Measures below.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012, MFFO increased by $2.4 million and $14.1 million, respectively, primarily due to the decrease in interest expense during each of the current year periods and, in the case of the current year nine-month period, lease termination income received in connection with the sales of several properties.

 

Financial Condition

 

Sources and Uses of Cash During the Period

 

We use the cash flow generated from our investments primarily to meet our operating expenses, service debt, and fund distributions to stockholders. Our cash flows fluctuate from period to period due to a number of factors, which may include, among other things, the timing of purchases and sales of real estate, the timing of the receipt of proceeds from and the repayment of non-recourse mortgage loans and receipt of lease revenues, the advisor’s annual election to receive fees in shares of our common stock or cash, the timing and characterization of distributions from equity investments in real estate, payment to the advisor of the annual installment of deferred acquisition fees and interest thereon in the first quarter, payment of Available Cash Distributions, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Despite these fluctuations, we believe that we will generate sufficient cash from operations and from equity distributions in excess of equity income in real estate to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, the proceeds of non-recourse mortgage loans, unused capacity on our Line of Credit, and the issuance of additional equity securities to meet these needs. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our sources and uses of cash during the period are described below.

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased by $0.8 million compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the receipt of lease termination income in connection with the sale of a property. For 2013, the advisor elected to receive its asset management fees in shares of our common stock and as a result, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we paid asset management fees of $9.8 million through the issuance of stock rather than in cash (Note 3).

 

Investing Activities

 

Our investing activities are generally comprised of real estate-related transactions, payment of our annual installment of deferred acquisition fees to the advisor related to asset acquisitions, and capitalized property-related costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we used $4.8 million to acquire one investment (Note 4). We received a total of $47.9 million in connection with the sale of 22 properties and a parcel of land (Note 5, 13) and $10.1 million in distributions from equity investments in real estate in excess of equity in net income. Funds totaling $10.7 million and $7.3 million were invested in and released from, respectively, lender-held investment accounts. We received $3.8 million in cash receipts from direct financing leases greater than revenue recognized. In January 2013, we paid $0.5 million as our annual installment of deferred acquisition fees to the advisor.

Financing Activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we paid net cash distributions to stockholders of $70.0 million, which excluded $32.6 million in distributions that were reinvested by stockholders through our DRIP, and paid distributions of $20.6 million to affiliates that hold noncontrolling interests in various entities with us. We drew down $65.0 million from our Line of Credit. We also repaid $133.0 million on our Line of Credit, prepaid several non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $9.2 million, and made scheduled mortgage principal installments totaling $32.2 million. We received proceeds totaling $16.0 million from new financing obtained on three properties, $32.6 million as a result of issuing shares through our DRIP, and $2.7 million in contributions from noncontrolling interests.

 

We maintain a quarterly redemption plan pursuant to which we may, at the discretion of our board of directors, redeem shares of our common stock from stockholders seeking liquidity. In light of the Proposed Merger, our board of directors suspended our redemption plan on July 25, 2013, with the exception of special-circumstances redemptions as defined under the plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received requests to redeem 1,339,586 shares of our common stock pursuant to our redemption plan, all of which were redeemed in the same period, at a weighted-average price per share of $8.49, which is net of redemption fees, totaling $11.4 million.

(a)         Variable-rate debt at September 30, 2013 included (i) $75.0 million outstanding under our Line of Credit; (ii) $69.1 million that was subject to an interest rate cap, but for which the applicable interest rate was below the effective interest rate of the cap at September 30, 2013; (iii) $65.9 million that has been effectively converted to a fixed rate through interest rate swap derivative instruments;  (iv) $12.4 million in non-recourse mortgage loan obligations that bore interest at floating rates; and (v) $11.4 million in non-recourse mortgage loan obligations that bore interest at fixed rates but have interest rate reset features that may change the interest rates to then-prevailing market fixed rates (subject to specific caps) at certain points during their terms. At September 30, 2013, we had no interest rate resets or expirations of interest rate swaps or caps scheduled to occur during the next 12 months.

 

Cash Resources

 

At September 30, 2013, our cash resources consisted of cash and cash equivalents totaling $70.1 million. Of this amount, $48.7 million, at then-current exchange rates, was held in foreign subsidiaries and we could be subject to restrictions or significant costs should we decide to repatriate these amounts. We also had a Line of Credit with unused capacity of $132.4 million, as well as unleveraged properties that had an aggregate carrying value of $97.3 million at September 30, 2013, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties. Our cash resources can be used for working capital needs and other commitments.

Cash Requirements

 

During the next 12 months, we expect that our cash payments will include paying distributions to our stockholders and to our affiliates that hold noncontrolling interests in our subsidiaries and making scheduled mortgage loan principal payments, as well as other normal recurring operating expenses. Balloon payments totaling $37.8 million, inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of $0.3 million, on our consolidated mortgage loan obligations are due during the next 12 months. Our share of balloon payments on our unconsolidated jointly-owned investments due during the next 12 months is $80.6 million. Our advisor is actively seeking to refinance certain of these loans, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on favorable terms, if at all.

 

We expect to fund any capital expenditures on existing properties and scheduled debt maturities on non-recourse mortgage loans through cash generated from operations, the use of our cash reserves, or amounts available on our Line of Credit.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

(a)         Excludes unamortized discount, net of $4.5 million (Note 10).

(b)         Includes $75.0 million outstanding under our $225.0 million Line of Credit, which is scheduled to mature on August 1, 2015.

(c)          Interest on an unhedged variable-rate debt obligation was calculated using the variable interest rate and balance outstanding at September 30, 2013.

(d)         Represents amounts that may be payable to the Special General Partner in connection with sales of assets, if a 6% preferred return is satisfied. There can be no assurance as to whether or when these fees will be paid. Upon the consummation of the Proposed Merger, subordinated disposition fees payable to the Special General Partner will be waived (Note 3).

(e)          Operating and other lease commitments consist primarily of rent obligations under ground leases and our share of future minimum rents payable pursuant to the advisory agreement for the purpose of leasing office space used for the administration of real estate entities. Amounts are allocated among WPC, the CPA REITs, and CWI based on gross revenues and are adjusted quarterly. Rental obligations under ground leases are inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of approximately $12.2 million.

 

Amounts in the table above related to our foreign operations are based on the exchange rate of the local currencies at September 30, 2013, which consisted primarily of the euro. At September 30, 2013, we had no material capital lease obligations for which we were the lessee, either individually or in the aggregate.

 

Equity Method Investments

 

We have interests in unconsolidated investments that own single-tenant properties net leased to companies. Generally, the underlying investments are jointly-owned with our affiliates. At September 30, 2013, on a combined basis, these investments had total assets and third-party non-recourse mortgage debt of approximately $1.6 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively. At that date, our pro rata share of their aggregate debt was $342.4 million. Cash requirements with respect to our share of these debt obligations are discussed above under Cash Requirements.

Supplemental Financial Measures

 

In the real estate industry, analysts and investors employ certain non-GAAP supplemental financial measures in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. Additionally, in the formulation of our goals and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our strategies, we use supplemental non-GAAP measures which are uniquely defined by our management. We believe these measures are useful to investors to consider because they may assist them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time and against similar companies. A description of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below.

 

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”)

 

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as 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 nor a substitute for net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

 

We define FFO consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004, or 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, impairment charges on real estate and depreciation and amortization; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO.

 

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, especially 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. 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 as well as impairment charges of real estate-related assets, 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. In particular, 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 time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indications exist and if the carrying, 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. Investors should note, however, that 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 described above, investors are cautioned that, due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. However, FFO and 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 the operating performance of the company. 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.

 

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) were put into effect in 2009. These other changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, such as acquisition fees, that are typically accounted for as operating 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. In addition,

 

CPA®:16 – Global 9/30/2013 10-Q 44

 


Table of Contents

 

non-listed REITs typically have a limited life with targeted exit strategies after acquisition activity ceases. In the prospectus for our follow-on offering dated April 28, 2006 (the “Prospectus”), we stated our intention to begin considering liquidity events (i.e., listing of our common stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale of our assets, or another similar transaction) for investors generally commencing eight years following the investment of substantially all of the proceeds from our initial public offering, which occurred in December 2005, and on July 25, 2013 we entered into an agreement to merge with and into a subsidiary of WPC. Thus, we do not intend to continuously purchase assets and intend to have a limited life. 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 operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. 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 properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance now that our offering has been completed and essentially all of our properties have been acquired. 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 since our offering and essentially all of our acquisitions are completed with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. Investors are cautioned that MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of a company’s operating performance after a company’s offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on a company’s operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.

 

We define MFFO consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the 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; nonrecurring impairments of real estate-related investments (i.e., infrequent or unusual, not reasonably likely to recur in the ordinary course of business); mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring 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 jointly-owned investments, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, nonrecurring unrealized 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. While we are responsible for managing interest rate, hedge and foreign exchange risk, we retain an outside consultant to review all our hedging agreements. Inasmuch as interest rate hedges are not a fundamental part of our operations, we believe it is appropriate to exclude such infrequent gains and losses in calculating MFFO, as such gains and losses are not reflective of on-going operations.

 

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 noncontrolling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by a company. 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 the company, 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. 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 and gains and losses from dispositions of assets as infrequent items or items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized, and which are not reflective of on-going operations and are therefore typically adjusted for assessing operating performance.

Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. 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 operate in this manner. 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 their limited life, limited and defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and hence that the use of such measures is useful to investors. For example, acquisition costs were generally funded from the proceeds of our offering and other financing sources and not from operations. 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 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, so 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 or income 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 other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance.

 

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 accordingly.

(a)         Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using an accrual basis. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), management believes that MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, provides insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

(b)         In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment, as well as the costs associated with a liquidity event, such as merger expenses. 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 and merger costs and amortization of deferred acquisition fees, 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 and merger expenses include payments to our advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses and merger 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 and merger expenses will have negative effects on returns to stockholders, 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.

(c)          Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain 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.

(d)         Management believes that adjusting for fair value adjustments for derivatives provides useful information because such fair value adjustments are based on market fluctuations and may not be directly related or attributable to our operations.

(e)          Management believes that adjusting for mark-to-market adjustments is appropriate because they are items that may not be reflective of on-going operations and reflect unrealized impacts on value based only on then current market conditions, although they may be based upon current operational issues related to an individual property or industry or general market conditions. The need to reflect mark-to-market adjustments is a continuous process and is analyzed on a quarterly and/or annual basis in accordance with GAAP.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Market Risk

 

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity prices. The primary risks to which we are exposed are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. We are also exposed to further market risk as a result of concentrations of tenants in certain industries and/or geographic regions. Adverse market factors can affect the ability of tenants in a particular industry/region to meet their respective lease obligations. In order to manage this risk, we view our collective tenant roster as a portfolio, and in its investment decisions the advisor attempts to diversify our portfolio so that we are not overexposed to a particular industry or geographic region.

 

Generally, we do not use derivative instruments to hedge credit/market risks or for speculative purposes. However, from time to time, we may enter into foreign currency derivative contracts to hedge our foreign currency cash flow exposures.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The carrying value of our real estate and related fixed-rate debt obligations is subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, all of which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of our owned assets to decrease. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit profile of certain tenants.

 

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain non-recourse mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our investment partners may obtain variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans and, as a result, may enter into interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with lenders that effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of the loan to a fixed rate or limit the underlying interest rate from exceeding a specified strike rate, respectively. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flows over a specific period, and interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. These interest rate swaps and caps are derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges on the forecasted interest payments on the debt obligation. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps or caps are based is not exchanged. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.

 

CPA®:16 – Global 9/30/2013 10-Q 48

 


Table of Contents

 

The net fair value of our interest rate swaps and cap, which are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities and Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, was in a net liability position of $2.4 million at September 30, 2013. In addition, two unconsolidated investments in which we have interests of 25% and 27% had an interest rate swap and an interest rate cap, respectively, with a net estimated fair value liability of $12.8 million in the aggregate, representing the total amount attributable to the entities, not our proportionate share, at September 30, 2013 (Note 9).

 

At September 30, 2013, the majority (approximately 95%) of our long-term debt either bore interest at fixed rates, was swapped or capped to a fixed rate, or bore interest at fixed rates that were scheduled to convert to then-prevailing market fixed rates at certain future points during their term. The annual interest rates on our fixed-rate debt at September 30, 2013 ranged from 4.3% to 7.8%. The contractual interest rates on our variable-rate debt at September 30, 2013 ranged from 1.2% to 6.9%. Our debt obligations are more fully described under Financial Condition in Item 2 above. The following table presents principal cash flows based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations outstanding at September 30, 2013 (in thousands):

(a)         Amounts are based on the exchange rate at September 30, 2013, as applicable.

 

The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and our variable-rate debt that currently bears interest at fixed rates or has effectively been converted to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps or that has been subject to an interest rate cap is affected by changes in interest rates. A decrease or increase in interest rates of 1% would change the estimated fair value of this debt at September 30, 2013 by both an aggregate increase and aggregate decrease of $59.7 million. This debt is generally not subject to short-term fluctuations in interest rates.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

 

We own investments outside the U.S., and as a result are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in various foreign currencies, primarily the euro, and to a lesser extent, certain other currencies, which may affect future costs and cash flows. We manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by generally placing both our debt obligation to the lender and the tenant’s rental obligation to us in the same currency. This reduces our overall exposure to the net cash flow from that investment. However, we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate movements to the extent of the difference in the timing and amount of the rental obligation and the debt service. We are generally a net receiver of these currencies (we receive more cash than we pay out), and therefore our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar, and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar, relative to the foreign currency.

 

We obtain mortgage financing in the local currency. To the extent that currency fluctuations increase or decrease rental revenues as translated to U.S. dollars, the change in debt service, as translated to U.S. dollars, will partially offset the effect of fluctuations in revenue and mitigate the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

__________

 

(a)         Amounts are based on the applicable exchange rates at September 30, 2013. Contractual rents and debt obligations are denominated in the functional currency of the country of each property.

(b)         We estimate that for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at September 30, 2013 of $3.6 million.

(c)          We estimate that for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the British pound sterling and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at September 30, 2013 of $0.4 million.

(d)        Other foreign currencies consist of the Canadian dollar, the Malaysian ringgit, the Swedish krona, and the Thai baht.

(e)          Interest on unhedged variable-rate debt obligations was calculated using the applicable annual interest rates and balances outstanding at September 30, 2013.

 

As a result of scheduled balloon payments on our international non-recourse mortgage loans, projected debt service obligations exceed projected lease revenues in 2016 and 2017. In 2016 and 2017, balloon payments totaling $96.4 million and $426.3 million, respectively, are due on several non-recourse mortgage loans that are collateralized by properties that we own with affiliates. We currently anticipate that, by their respective due dates, we will have refinanced certain of these loans, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on favorable terms, if at all. If that has not occurred, we would expect to use our cash resources to make these payments, if necessary.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures include our controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.

 

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at September 30, 2013, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of September 30, 2013 at a reasonable level of assurance.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Our business, results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions at the current rate could be materially adversely affected by various risks and uncertainties, including the conditions below. These risk factors may have affected, and in the future could affect, our actual operating and financial results and could cause such results to differ materially from our expectations as expressed in any forward-looking statements. You should not consider this list exhaustive. New risk factors emerge periodically, and we cannot assure you that the factors described below list all risks that may become material to us at any later time.

 

Changes in the market price of WPC common stock will affect the exchange ratio and the value of the Per Share Merger Consideration, and may result in a Per Share Merger Consideration that has a value below $11.25.

 

The exchange ratio and the value of the Per Share Merger Consideration are based on the market price of WPC common stock, which will fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors (many of which are beyond our control), including the following factors:

 

·                  market reaction to the Proposed Merger and the prospects of the combined company;

·                  changes in market assessments of the business, operations, financial position, and prospects of either company;

·                  market assessments of the likelihood that the Proposed Merger will be completed;

·                  interest rates, general market and economic conditions, and other factors generally affecting the price of WPC common stock;

·                  federal, state, and local legislation, governmental regulation, and legal developments in the businesses in which WPC and we operate;

·                  general market trading activities; and

·                  other factors beyond the control of WPC and us.

 

A decline in the price of WPC common stock may cause the value of the Per Share Merger Consideration to be less than $11.25.

 

The pricing collar will limit the number of shares of WPC common stock that our stockholders receive in the Proposed Merger.

 

If the average WPC trading price is less than $61.09, and thus the exchange ratio would be greater than 0.1842, the merger agreement provides that the exchange ratio will nonetheless be fixed at 0.1842, even if that results in a Per Share Merger Consideration below $11.25. We do not have the right to terminate the merger agreement based on a decline in the market price of WPC common stock.

 

The pendency of the Proposed Merger could adversely affect our business and operations.

 

Between the date that the merger agreement was signed and the date that the Proposed Merger is consummated, our tenants may delay or defer certain business decisions, such as whether or not to renew a lease, which could negatively impact our revenues, earnings, cash flows, and expenses, regardless of whether or not the Proposed Merger is completed. In addition, due to operating covenants in the merger agreement, we may be unable, during the pendency of the Proposed Merger, to pursue certain strategic transactions, undertake certain significant capital projects, undertake certain significant financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions that are not in the ordinary course of business, even if such actions would prove beneficial.

 

Failure to complete the Proposed Merger could negatively affect us.

 

It is possible that the Proposed Merger may not be completed. The parties’ respective obligations to complete the Proposed Merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, some of which are beyond the control of WPC and us. If the Proposed Merger is not completed, we may be subject to a number of material risks, including the following:

 

·                  our stockholders would not have had the opportunity to achieve the liquidity event provided by the Proposed Merger and our board of directors would have to review other alternatives for liquidity, which may not occur in the near future or on terms as favorable as the Proposed Merger;

·                  we have incurred and expect to incur substantial costs and expenses related to the Proposed Merger, such as legal, accounting, and financial advisor fees, which will be payable by us even if the Proposed Merger is not completed, and only certain of which are subject to reimbursement under certain limited circumstances;

·                  we may be required to pay a termination fee to WPC in the amount of $57 million if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances; and

·                  we may be required to pay WPC’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Proposed Merger if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances.

 

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

 

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, we issued 170,547 shares of our common stock to the advisor as consideration for asset management fees. These shares were issued at a price per share of $8.70, which represents our most recently published NAV per share as approved by our board of directors at the date of issuance.

 

Since none of these transactions were considered to have involved a “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, the shares issued were deemed to be exempt from registration. In acquiring our shares, the advisor represented that such interests were being acquired by it for the purposes of investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof.
