Our Operating Performance—Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
 
Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP performance financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of Real Estate Investment Trust operating performance. We use FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts to be net income (loss), computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains (or losses) from sales of property (including deemed sales and settlements of preexisting relationships), plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after related adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and subsidiaries and noncontrolling interests. We believe that FFO is helpful to our investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared year to year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which are not immediately apparent from net income. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate and intangibles diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. As a result, our management believes that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, is helpful for our investors in understanding our performance. Factors that impact FFO include start-up costs, fixed costs, delay in buying assets, lower yields on cash held in accounts, income from portfolio properties and other portfolio assets, interest rates on acquisition financing and operating expenses.
 
Since FFO was promulgated, GAAP has adopted several new accounting pronouncements, such that management, investors and analysts have considered the presentation of FFO alone to be insufficient. Accordingly, in addition to FFO, we use modified funds from operations, or MFFO, as defined by the

2


 

Investment Program Association, or the IPA, MFFO as defined by the IPA excludes from FFO the following items:
 
  (1)      acquisition fees and expenses;
 
  (2)      straight line rent amounts, both income and expense;
 
  (3)      amortization of above or below market intangible lease assets and liabilities;
 
  (4)      amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments;
 
  (5)      impairment charges;
 
  (6)      gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt;
 
  (7)      gains or losses on the extinguishment or sales of hedges, foreign exchange, securities and other derivatives holdings except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of our operations;
 
  (8)      gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting, including interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives;
 
  (9)      gains or losses related to consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting;
 
  (10)     gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments; and
 
  (11)     adjustments related to the above items for unconsolidated entities in the application of equity accounting.
 
We believe that MFFO is a helpful measure of operating performance because it excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities or non-operating valuation and other changes. Accordingly, we believe that MFFO can be a useful metric to assist management, investors and analysts in assessing the sustainability of operating performance. As explained below, management’s evaluation of our operating performance excludes the items considered in the calculation based on the following economic considerations:
 
  •      In evaluating investments in real estate, including both business combinations and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, management’s investment models and analyses differentiate costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Prior to 2009, acquisition costs for both business combinations and equity investments were capitalized; however, beginning in 2009, acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed. These acquisitions costs have been and will continue to be funded from the proceeds of our continuous public offering and other financing sources and not from operations. We believe by excluding expensed acquisition costs, MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of our real estate investments and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition expenses include those costs paid to our advisor and third parties.
 
  •      Impairment charges, gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting and gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments. Each of these items relates to a fair value adjustment, which is based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions and specific performance of the holding, which may not be directly attributable to our current operating performance. As these gains or losses relate to underlying long-term assets and liabilities, where we are not speculating or trading assets, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in our core operating fundamentals rather than changes that may reflect anticipated gains or losses. In particular, because GAAP impairment charges are not allowed to be reversed if the underlying fair values improve or because the timing of impairment charges may lag the onset of certain operating consequences, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information

  related to current consequences, benefits and sustainability related to rental rate, occupancy and other core operating fundamentals.
 
  •      Adjustments for amortization of above or below market intangible lease assets. Similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangibles diminishes predictably over time and that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since real estate values and market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economics of the real estate.
 
  •      Adjustments for straight line rents and amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments. In the proper application of GAAP, rental receipts and discounts and premiums on debt investments are allocated to periods using various systematic methodologies. This application will result in income recognition that could be significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.
 
  •      Adjustment for gains or losses related to early extinguishment of hedges, debt, consolidation or deconsolidation and contingent purchase price. Similar to extraordinary items excluded from FFO, these adjustments are not related to our continuing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods and to other real estate operators.
 
We believe MFFO is useful to investors in evaluating how our portfolio might perform after our offering and acquisition stage has been completed and, as a result, may provide an indication of the sustainability of our distributions in the future. However, as described in greater detail below, MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), nor as an indication of our liquidity. Many of the adjustments to MFFO are similar to adjustments required by SEC rules for the presentation of pro forma business combination disclosures, particularly acquisition expenses, gains or losses recognized in business combinations and other activity not representative of future activities. Because MFFO is primarily affected by the same factors as FFO but without non-operating changes, particularly valuation changes, we believe the presentation of MFFO is useful to investors because fluctuations in MFFO are more indicative of changes in operating activities. MFFO is also more comparable in evaluating our performance over time and as compared to other real estate companies, which may not be as involved in acquisition activities or as affected by impairments and other non-operating charges.
 
FFO or MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), nor as indications of our liquidity, nor are they either indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. In particular, as we are currently in the acquisition phase of our life cycle, acquisition costs and other adjustments which are increases to MFFO are, and may continue to be, a significant use of cash. MFFO also excludes impairment charges, rental revenue adjustments and unrealized gains and losses related to certain other fair value adjustments. Although the related holdings are not held for sale or used in trading activities, if the holdings were sold currently, it could affect our operating results. Accordingly, both FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements. Our FFO and MFFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.

Moreno Marketplace
 
The only tenant occupying 10% or more of the rentable square feet at the Moreno property is Stater Bros. supermarket, which, as of March 31, 2011, occupied 56% of the total rentable square footage, of the Moreno property and pays $730,000 annually pursuant to a lease that expires in November 2028. Stater Bros. has the option to renew the term of its lease for up to six successive five-year renewal terms after the expiration of the initial term. The other tenants of the Moreno property are Wells Fargo Bank, Jack in the Box, Subway, Fantastic Sam’s and Moreno Beach Dental, none of which occupies 10% or more of the rentable square feet at the Moreno property.

The Moreno property faces competition from other nearby retail properties in and around the submarket of Moreno Valley, California, including Bear Valley Shopping Center, Lakeside Plaza and Lakeside Terrace, which are multi-tenant retail centers located within approximately three miles of the Moreno property. Management currently has no renovation plans for the Moreno property and believes that the Moreno property is suitable for its intended purpose and adequately covered by insurance.
 
The capitalization rate for the Moreno Marketplace as of the closing of the acquisition was 7.4%. Unless otherwise indicated, the capitalization rate for a real property is determined by dividing the projected “net operating income” of the property by the purchase price of the property, excluding closing costs and fees. Net operating income is calculated by deducting all operating expenses of a property, including property taxes and management fees but excluding debt service payments and capital expenditures, from gross operating revenues received from a property. We determine projected net operating income based on in-place leases, contractual rent increases or decreases for each tenant and other revenues from late fees or services, adjusted for known vacancies, tenant concessions and charges not collected.
 
Waianae Mall
 
The tenants occupying 10% or more of the rentable square feet at the Waianae property are City Mill, an Oahu-based hardware store, which, as of March 31, 2011, occupied 24.05% of the total rentable square footage, of the Waianae property, and Long Drugs, a pharmacy owned by CVS Caremark, which as of March 31, 2011, occupied 13.85% of the total rentable square footage. On May 24, 2010 City Mill entered into a lease, effective July 1, 2010 and expiring in June 2015, pursuant to which City Mill will pay an annual rent of $209,000. Longs Drugs pays an annual rent of $630,000 pursuant to a lease that expires in January 2021. City Mill has one 5-year option to renew at fair market value. Long Drugs has two 5-year options to renew with increases in rent. Additionally, the State of Hawaii leases 6.35% of the rentable square feet pursuant to a lease that expires on June 15, 2017. Other tenants at the Waianae property include Burger King, Goodyear, Blockbuster Video, Fantastic Sams, Starbucks Coffee, Jamba Juice, Payless Shoe Source, Pizza Hut, Subway and Radio Shack, none of which occupies 10% or more of the rentable square feet at the Waianae property.
 
The Waianae property is the only major multi-tenant retail center on the Western side of the island of Oahu and as a result faces limited competition from other similar multi-tenant retail properties. City Mill, the Waianae property’s largest tenant, faces competition from other retail hardware stores located on the island of Oahu, including a Home Depot located approximately 11 miles to the Southeast of the Waianae property and a Lowes located approximately 12 miles to the east of the Waianae property. Management currently plans to spend approximately $2,000,000 over 3 years for capital improvements and believes that the Waianae property is suitable for its intended purpose and adequately covered by insurance.
 
The capitalization rate for the Waianae property as of the closing of the acquisition was 10.9%.
 
Northgate Plaza
 
The tenants occupying 10% or more of the rentable square feet at the Northgate property are Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, or Wal-Mart, a grocery and pharmaceutical retailer, which occupies 42,685, or approximately 41.24%, of the rentable square feet at Northgate property, and Dollar Tree Stores, Inc., or Dollar Tree, a single-price point retailer, which occupies 12,308, or approximately 11.89%, of the rentable square feet at the Northgate property. Wal-Mart pays an annual rent of approximately $245,000 pursuant to a lease that expires in May 2025 and Dollar Tree pays an annual rent of approximately $106,000 pursuant to a lease that expires in January 2015. Wal-Mart has the option to renew its lease at the Northgate property for up to 15 additional terms of 5 years each. Other significant tenants at the Northgate property include Tuesday Morning, Rent-A-Center, Burger King, Radio Shack, Jackson Hewitt and Subway.
 
The Northgate property faces competition from other nearby multi-tenant retail properties in and around the submarket of Tucson, Arizona, including Fry’s Plaza, Campbell Plaza, Crossroads Festival and Mission Plaza, each of which is a multi-tenant retail center located within approximately three miles of the Northgate property.

Management currently has no plans for capital improvements at the Northgate property and believes that the Northgate property is suitable for its intended purpose and adequately covered by insurance. For the 2010 fiscal year, the Northgate property real estate taxes are approximately $113,757.
 
The capitalization rate for the Northgate property as of the closing of the acquisition was 9.5%.
 
San Jacinto Esplanade
 
The San Jacinto property is anchored by a Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market, or Fresh & Easy, a supermarket chain with stores in the Western United States. Fresh & Easy is the U.S. division of TESCO, the fourth largest retailer in the world, according to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu’s Global Powers of Retailing 2010 report. As of March 31, 2011 the only tenant occupying 10% or more of the rentable square feet at the San Jacinto property was Fresh & Easy, which occupies approximately 14,080, or approximately 24.9%, of the rentable square feet at the San Jacinto property. A Walgreens Drug Store is located on an adjoining property to the San Jacinto property, but is not a part of the San Jacinto property.
 
Fresh & Easy pays an annual rent of approximately $175,000 pursuant to a lease that expires in October 2027. Fresh & Easy has the option to renew its lease at the San Jacinto property for up to six additional terms of 5 years each. Other significant tenants at the San Jacinto property include Jack-In-The-Box, Starbucks Coffee and Fantastic Sams.
 
The San Jacinto property is located at the southeast corner of Sanderson Avenue and Esplanade Avenue, and is adjacent to a number of planned residential housing developments. The San Jacinto property faces limited competition from similar multi-tenant retail properties in the San Jacinto, California area. Village West and Hemet Valley are the only other multi-tenant retail centers located within a two-mile radius of the San Jacinto property.

We commenced operations upon the acquisition of the Moreno Marketplace on November 19, 2009. We paid $651,000 in cash distributions paid during the period from December 2009 (the date we first paid distributions) through December 31, 2010. Our net income (loss) from inception through December 31, 2010 was $(5,592,000). For the fourth quarter of 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2010, net cash used in operations was $2,421,000. From inception through December 31, 2010, FFO was $(3,475,000). For a discussion of how we calculate FFO, see “Our Performance—Funds From Operations and Modified Funds From Operations.”
 
On December 31, 2010, our board of directors declared a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $136,000, of which $91,000 was paid in cash on January 14, 2011 and $45,000 was paid through our distribution reinvestment plan in the form of additional shares issued on January 1, 2011. On January 31, 2011, our board of directors declared a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $141,000, of which $94,000 was paid in cash on February 13, 2011 and $47,000 was paid through our distribution reinvestment plan in the form of additional shares issued on February 1, 2011. On February 28, 2011, our board of directors declared a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $146,000, of which $97,000 was paid in cash on March 14, 2011 and $49,000 was paid through our distribution reinvestment plan in the form of additional shares issued on March 1, 2011. Of the $282,000 in cash distributions paid from January 2011 to March 2011, 100% was paid using offering proceeds.
 
Information Regarding Redemption of Shares
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, we redeemed approximately 12,500 shares under our share redemption program pursuant to one redemption request upon the death or disability of a stockholder, at an average redemption price of $10,00 per share, for an aggregate redemption price of approximately $125,000. The source of payment for this redemption request was proceeds from our public offering. During the year ended December 31, 2010, no requests for redemption under our share redemption program were unfullfilled.

Net Tangible Book Value per Share
 
As of December 31, 2010, our net tangible book value was $6,031,000, and our net tangible book value per share was $2.53, compared with our primary offering price per share of $10.00 and shares sold under our distribution reinvestment plan at $9.50 per share. Net tangible book value per share is the net tangible assets of a company (total assets less total liabilities less intangible assets), divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Net tangible book value is used generally as a conservative measure of net worth that we do not believe reflects our estimated value per share. It is not intended to reflect the value of our assets upon an orderly liquidation of the company in accordance with our investment objectives. However, net tangible book value does reflect certain dilution in value of our common stock from the issue price as a result of (i) accumulated depreciation and amortization of real estate investments, (ii) fees paid in connection with our initial public offering and (iii) the fees and expenses paid to our advisor and its affiliates in connection with the selection, acquisition, management and sale of our investments. Additionally, investors who purchased shares in this offering may experience further dilution of their equity investment in the event that we sell additional common shares in the future, if we sell securities that are convertible into common shares or if we issue shares upon the exercise of options, warrants or other rights.
