Status of the Offering
We commenced this offering of up to 280,000,000 shares, or up to $2,760,000,000 of shares, of common stock on October 26, 2010. As of December 10, 2014, we had accepted aggregate gross offering proceeds of $1.2 billion related to the sale of 116,445,040 shares of common stock, including 4,945,598 shares of common stock sold under our dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $47.7 million.  Accordingly, as of December 10, 2014, there were $1,591.5 million of shares of common stock available for sale in this offering, including $712.3 million of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan.
Our board of directors has extended the closing date of this primary initial public offering until the earlier of the sale of up to 200,000,000 shares, or up to $2,000,000,000 of shares, or the date the registration statement relating to our proposed follow-on offering (the “Follow-on Offering”) is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Our dealer manager has recommended that our offering stage last no longer than September 2015. Our offering stage will be based on a number of considerations, including our goal of raising sufficient proceeds to continue to acquire a diverse portfolio of real estate investments prior to seeking a liquidity event, the expected pace of sales of our common stock during 2014 and 2015, the current and anticipated composition and quality of our portfolio and the condition of the commercial real estate market. We will continue to monitor these factors and may adjust our anticipated offering stage as necessary based on these and other factors.
We plan to continue to offer shares under our dividend reinvestment plan beyond the termination of the offering stage for our primary offering. In some states, we will need to renew the registration statement annually or file a new registration statement to continue the dividend reinvestment plan offering.
We may terminate this primary initial public offering or the dividend reinvestment plan offering at any time.
Current Investment Opportunities in Core Properties
Our primary investment focus is core real estate properties. Core properties generally are lower risk, existing properties with at least 80% occupancy and minimal near-term lease rollover compared to enhanced return or opportunistic properties. The types of properties that we may invest in include office, industrial and retail properties located throughout the United States. Although we may invest in any of these types of properties, the primary property types in which we intend to invest are as follows (in no order of priority):
office properties - including low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise office buildings and office parks in urban and suburban locations, especially those that are in or near central business districts or have access to transportation; and
industrial properties - including warehouse and distribution facilities, office/warehouse flex properties, research and development properties and light industrial properties.
Our core property focus in the U.S. office sector has reflected a more value-creating core strategy, and based on the current market outlook, we expect to continue this strategy. In many cases, these properties have slightly higher (10% to 15%) vacancy rates and/or higher near-term lease rollover at acquisition than more conservative value-maintaining core properties. These characteristics provide us with opportunities to lease space at higher rates, especially in markets with increasing absorption, or to re-lease space in these properties at higher rates, bringing below-market rates of in-place expiring leases up to market rates. Many of these properties will require a moderate level of additional investment for capital expenditures and tenant improvement costs, in order to improve or rebrand the properties and increase rental rates. Thus, we believe these properties provide an opportunity for us to achieve more significant capital appreciation by increasing occupancy, negotiating new leases with higher rental rates and/or executing enhancement projects.
We expect that our real property investments will typically range in size from $50 million to $200 million; however, we may make investments outside of this range. For example, we may make investments for less than $50 million if the acquired properties will complement our existing portfolio. Further, we may invest more than $200 million in a single property if we believe that property will help us meet our investment objectives. We do not generally expect that we will invest more than $300 million in any single property, although we will not forego an attractive investment because it does not precisely fit our expected portfolio composition. In making such determination, we will consider the diversification of our portfolio and how such investment would assist us in meeting our investment objectives. An example of such an acquisition is the 500 West Madison building in Chicago, which we purchased in 2013 for approximately $420 million.
We generally intend to hold our core real estate properties for three to seven years, which we believe is the optimal period to enable us to capitalize on the potential for increased income and capital appreciation of our properties. However, economic and market conditions may influence us to hold our properties for different periods of time. We may sell an asset before the end of the expected holding period if we believe that market conditions and asset positioning have maximized its value to us or the sale of the asset would otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.
Although this is our current focus, we may make adjustments to our target portfolio based on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities. We will not forego a good investment because it does not precisely fit our expected portfolio composition.

(1) Purchase price includes acquisition fees and closing costs.
(2) Annualized base rent represents annualized contractual base rental income as of September 30, 2014, adjusted to straight-line any contractual tenant concessions (including free rent), rent increases and rent decreases from the lease’s inception through the balance of the lease term.
(3) Average annualized base rent per square foot is calculated as the annualized base rent divided by the leased square feet.
Other than the RBC Plaza and 500 West Madison, we do not intend to make significant renovations or improvements to any individual real estate property listed above in the near term. At acquisition, we projected an investment of approximately $26.6 million for renovations and improvements to the RBC Plaza over the next four years, including the conversion of approximately 32,000 rentable square feet of retail space into office space. As of September 30, 2014, we had invested approximately $11.4 million for renovations and improvements to the RBC Plaza. At acquisition, we projected an investment of approximately $70.0 million for renovations and improvements to 500 West Madison over the next six years. As of September 30, 2014, we had invested approximately $3.7 million for renovations and improvements to 500 West Madison. We expect to fund these renovations and improvements with proceeds from debt financing, proceeds from our primary offering and proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan.
We believe that our real estate investments are suitable for their respective intended purposes and adequately insured.

3003 Washington Boulevard
On November 21, 2014, we, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire 100% of the Class A voting units (the “Units”) of Clarendon Owners, LLC (“Clarendon”) from a seller that is not affiliated with us or our advisor. Clarendon is a single asset real estate investment trust and is the fee owner and ground lessee of an office property containing 211,170 rentable square feet located in Arlington, Virginia (“3003 Washington Boulevard”). We are in negotiations with the ground lessor regarding our potential acquisition of the ground lease. We can give no assurances that these negotiations will be successful. After our acquisition of the Units, 125 Class B units will be outstanding and will be redeemable for $1,000 plus accrued and unpaid dividends as of the redemption date per unit. We intend to redeem all 125 Class B units in January 2015.

Towers at Emeryville
On December 8, 2014, we, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a purchase and sale agreement, as amended, to acquire an office property consisting of three office buildings containing an aggregate of 815,018 rentable square feet located on approximately 16.1 acres of land in Emeryville, California (the “Towers at Emeryville”). The seller is not affiliated with us or our advisor.  The contractual purchase price of Towers at Emeryville is $248.0 million plus closing costs.  We intend to fund the purchase of the Towers at Emeryville with proceeds from a mortgage loan from an unaffiliated lender and proceeds from this offering. We are currently negotiating the terms of the mortgage loan. Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, we would be obligated to purchase the property only after satisfaction of agreed upon closing conditions.  There can be no assurance that we will complete the acquisition. In some circumstances, if we fail to complete the acquisition, we may forfeit up to $8.0 million of earnest money.
The three office buildings of the Towers at Emeryville were completed in 1972, 1975 and 1985 and each was renovated in 1998 and 2012. As of December 8, 2014, the Towers at Emeryville were approximately 84% leased to approximately 85 tenants. The annualized base rent for the tenants of the Towers at Emeryville was approximately $22.7 million.

We believe that the Towers at Emeryville is suitable for its intended purpose and is adequately insured. We anticipate that we will invest approximately $42.8 million in renovations and improvements to the Towers at Emeryville over the next five years. We expect to fund these renovations and improvements with proceeds from future debt financing, proceeds from this offering and proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan.

The purchase/origination price as of September 30, 2014 is net of $166,000 of principal repayments.
(3) Book value represents outstanding principal balance, adjusted for unamortized origination fees and direct acquisition and origination expenses.
(4) Contractual interest rate is the stated interest rate on the face of the loan. Annualized effective interest rate is calculated as the actual interest income recognized in 2014, using the interest method, divided by the average amortized cost basis of the investment. The annualized effective interest rate and contractual interest rate presented are as of September 30, 2014.
(5) Monthly payments were interest only for the first 23 months of the term of the loan, and as of July 2013 became payments of principal and interest, with principal calculated using an amortization schedule of 30 years and with the remaining principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest and all other charges due at maturity. As of December 10, 2014, $20.0 million was outstanding under the Aberdeen First Mortgage Loan.
(6) At origination, the Aberdeen First Mortgage Loan loan-to-value ratio was 44.1%, based upon the amount funded at origination (excluding closing costs and certain other fees) and the “as-is” appraised value of the building securing the loan. At origination, we estimated the fully-funded loan to value ratio of the Aberdeen First Mortgage Loan would be approximately 57%, based upon funding the full $23.9 million under the loan, excluding closing costs and certain other fees and expenses, and assuming the “stabilized” appraised value of the building. The loan-to-value ratio will vary over time as the borrower makes draws on the loan, tenant leases are signed and tenant and capital improvements are made to the building. We can give no assurance if or when the building will reach the “stabilized” appraised value. As of the origination date, the building was 4% leased and as of September 30, 2014, the building was 84% leased. Appraisals are based on numerous estimates, judgments and assumptions that significantly affect the appraised value of the underlying property. An appraisal of a non-stabilized property, in particular, involves a high degree of subjectivity due to high vacancy levels, uncertainties with respect to future market rental rates and the timing of lease-up and stabilization, and such appraisal may not reflect the actual fair value of the property. Different assumptions may materially change the appraised value of the property. In addition, the value of the property will change over time.

Risk Factors
The following risk factors supplement the risk factors appearing in the prospectus.
We have paid distributions in part from financings and expect that in the future we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operating activities. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operating activities, we will have less funds available for investment in properties and other assets, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors will experience dilution.
Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from any source, including offering proceeds or borrowings (which may constitute a return of capital), and our charter does not limit the amount of funds we may use from any source to pay such distributions. We have paid distributions in part from financings (including with an advance from KBS Capital Advisors, LLC, our advisor, that we have repaid with debt financing) and expect that in the future we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operating activities, in which case distributions may be paid in whole or in part from debt financing. We may also fund such distributions from the sale of assets or from the maturity, payoff or settlement of debt investments. If we fund distributions from borrowings, our interest expense and other financing costs, as well as the repayment of such borrowings, will reduce our earnings and cash flow from operating activities available for distribution in future periods. If we fund distributions from the sale of assets or the maturity, payoff or settlement of debt investments, this will affect our ability to generate cash flow from operating activities in future periods. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operating activities, we will have fewer funds available with which to make real estate investments, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors will experience dilution. In addition, to the extent distributions exceed cash flow from operating activities, a stockholder’s basis in our stock will be reduced and, to the extent distributions exceed a stockholder’s basis, the stockholder may recognize capital gain. There is no limit on the amount of distributions we may fund from sources other than from cash flow from operating activities.
During our offering stage, when we may raise capital in this offering (and possibly future offerings) more quickly than we acquire income-producing assets, and from time to time during our operational stage, we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operating activities.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, we paid aggregate distributions of $26.2 million, including $13.8 million of distributions paid in cash and $12.4 million of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and dividends reinvested by stockholders, with $20.2 million (77%) of cash flow from operating activities and $6.0 million (23%) of debt financing. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our cash flow from operating activities to distributions paid coverage ratio was 77% and our funds from operations to distributions paid coverage ratio was 52%.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we paid aggregate distributions of $39.6 million, including $19.1 million of distributions paid in cash and $20.5 million of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and dividends reinvested by stockholders, with $28.6 million (72%) of cash flow from operating activities and $11.0 million (28%) of debt financing. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our cash flow from operating activities to distributions paid coverage ratio was 90% and our funds from operations to distributions paid coverage ratio was 116%.
See “Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations” and “Information with Respect to Distributions for the Year Ended December 31, 2013 and for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014” in this supplement.
To the extent that we buy core real estate properties with occupancy of less than 95% or that have significant rollover during the expected hold period, we may incur significant costs for capital expenditures and tenant improve costs to lease-up the properties, which increases the risk of loss associated with these properties compared to other properties. 
We have invested in, and may make additional investments in, core properties that have an occupancy rate of less than 95%, significant rollover during the expected hold period, or other characteristics that could provide an opportunity for us to achieve appreciation by increasing occupancy, negotiating new leases with higher rental rates and/or executing enhancement projects. We likely will need to fund reserves or maintain capacity under our credit facilities to fund capital expenditures, tenant improvements and other improvements in order to attract new tenants to these properties. To the extent we do not maintain adequate reserves to fund these costs, we may use our cash flow from operating activities, which will reduce the amount of cash flow available for distribution to our investors.  If we are unable to execute our business plan for these investments, the overall return on these investments will decrease.

(1) Distributions declared per common share assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day for the periods presented. Distributions for the periods from June 24, 2011 through February 28, 2012 and March 1, 2012 through September 30, 2014 were based on daily record dates and calculated at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day.
(2) We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. FFO represents net income, excluding gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), impairment losses on real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We believe FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other REITs. However, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. Our management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets 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 to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and provides a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance because FFO includes adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization. Investors should exercise caution when using non-GAAP performance measures, such as FFO, to make investment decisions. Accordingly, FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance.

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 to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and provides a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.
Changes in accounting rules have resulted in a substantial increase in the number of non-operating and non-cash items included in the calculation of FFO. Items such as acquisition fees and expenses, which had previously been capitalized prior to 2009, are currently expensed and accounted for as operating expenses. As a result, our management also uses modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) as an indicator of our ongoing performance as well as our dividend sustainability. MFFO excludes from FFO: acquisition fees and expenses; adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above and below market intangible lease assets and liabilities; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; amortization of closing costs relating to debt investments; impairments of real estate-related investments; mark‑to‑market adjustments included in net income; and gains or losses included in net income for the extinguishment or sale of debt or hedges. We compute MFFO in accordance with the definition of MFFO included in the practice guideline issued by the Investment Program Association (“IPA”) in November 2010. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not compute MFFO in accordance with the current IPA definition or that interpret the current IPA definition differently than we do.
We believe that MFFO is helpful as a measure of ongoing operating performance because it excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO.  Management believes that excluding acquisition costs from MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the portfolio over time, including periods after our acquisition stage.  MFFO also excludes non-cash items such as straight-line rental revenue.  Additionally, we believe that MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance indicators and analysis used by management, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, to evaluate the sustainability of our operating performance.  MFFO provides comparability in evaluating the operating performance of our portfolio with other non-traded REITs which typically have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies.  MFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by non-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes. However, MFFO has limitations as a performance measure during the offering stage for non-traded REITs where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value. As a result, MFFO should not be used as a metric to determine or evaluate the net asset value.
FFO and MFFO are non-GAAP financial measures and do not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance because FFO and MFFO include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization and the other items described above. Accordingly, FFO and MFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our current and historical operating performance. In addition, FFO and MFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an indication of our liquidity. We believe FFO and MFFO, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are meaningful supplemental performance measures.

12


Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of straight-line rent, the amortization of above- and below-market leases and acquisition fees and expenses are the most significant adjustments for the periods presented.  We have excluded these items based on the following economic considerations:
Adjustments for straight-line rent.  These are adjustments to rental revenue as required by GAAP to recognize contractual lease payments on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease.  We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the current economic impact of our in-place leases, while also providing investors with a useful supplemental metric that addresses core operating performance by removing rent we expect to receive in a future period or rent that was received in a prior period;
Amortization of above- and below-market leases. Similar to depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and lease related costs that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangible lease assets and liabilities diminishes predictably over time and requires that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with local market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economics of the real estate; and
Acquisition fees and expenses.  Acquisition fees and expenses related to the acquisition of real estate are expensed.  Although these amounts reduce net income, we exclude them from MFFO to more appropriately present the ongoing operating performance of our real estate investments on a comparative basis.  Additionally, acquisition costs have been funded from the proceeds from this offering and debt financings and not from our operations.  We believe this exclusion is useful to investors as it allows investors to more accurately evaluate the sustainability of our operating performance.
Our calculation of FFO, which we believe is consistent with the calculation of FFO as defined by NAREIT, is presented in the following table, along with our calculation of MFFO, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands). No conclusions or comparisons should be made from the presentation of these periods.

FFO and MFFO may also be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO and MFFO, such as tenant improvements, building improvements and deferred leasing costs. We expect FFO and MFFO to improve as we continue to acquire additional real estate investments.

Information with Respect to Distributions for the Year Ended December 31, 2013 and the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
During 2013 and 2014, we declared distributions based on daily record dates for each day during the periods from January 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014. Until we have fully invested the proceeds of this offering (and possible future offerings), and from time to time during our operational stage, we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow provided by operating activities or FFO, in which case distributions may be paid in whole or in part from debt financing. Distributions declared, distributions paid and cash flow provided by operating activities were as follows for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the nine months ended September, 2014 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

____________________
(1)  Distributions for the period from January 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014 were based on daily record dates and were calculated at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day. 
(2)  Assumes share was issued and outstanding each day during the periods presented. 
(3)  Distributions are paid on a monthly basis. Distributions for all record dates of a given month are paid on or about the first business day of the following month.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, we paid aggregate distributions of $26.2 million, including $13.8 million of distributions paid in cash and $12.4 million of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $21.6 million. FFO for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $13.7 million and cash flow provided by operating activities was $20.2 million. See the reconciliation of FFO to net loss above. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and dividends reinvested by stockholders, with $20.2 million of cash flow provided by operating activities and $6.0 million of debt financing.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we paid aggregate distributions of $39.6 million, including $19.1 million of distributions paid in cash and $20.5 million of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan. Our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $0.1 million. FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $45.9 million and cash flow from operating activities was $35.5 million. See the reconciliation of FFO to net income above. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and dividends reinvested by stockholders, with $28.6 million of cash flow from operating activities and $11.0 million of debt financing.
For purposes of determining the source of our distributions paid, we assume first that we use cash flow from operating activities from the relevant periods or prior periods to fund distribution payments.
From inception through September 30, 2014, we paid cumulative distributions of $79.1 million and our cumulative net loss during the same period was $31.7 million. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operating activities, we will have less funds available for the acquisition of real estate investments, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors will experience dilution.


14


Over the long-term, we expect that a greater percentage of our distributions will be paid from cash flow provided by operating activities and FFO (except with respect to distributions related to sales of our assets and distributions related to the repayment of principal under real estate-related investments). During our offering stage, when we may raise capital in this offering (and possibly future offerings) more quickly than we acquire income-producing assets, and from time to time during our operational stage, we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow provided by operating activities. Further, our operating performance cannot be accurately predicted and may deteriorate in the future due to numerous factors, including those discussed under “Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets” herein and “Risk Factors” herein and in the prospectus. Those factors include: our ability to continue to raise capital to make additional investments; the future operating performance of our current and future real estate investments in the existing real estate and financial environment; our advisor’s ability to identify additional real estate investments that are suitable to execute our investment objectives; the success and economic viability of our tenants; the ability of our borrowers and their sponsors to continue to make their debt service payments and/or to repay their loans upon maturity; our ability to refinance existing indebtedness at comparable terms; changes in interest rates on any variable rate debt obligations we incur; and the level of participation in our dividend reinvestment plan. In the event our FFO and/or cash flow provided by operating activities decrease in the future, the level of our distributions may also decrease.  In addition, future distributions declared and paid may exceed FFO and/or cash flow provided by operating activities.
Distributions Declared for the Period from October 2014 though January 2015
On August 5, 2014, our board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period from October 1, 2014 through October 31, 2014, which we paid on November 3, 2014. On October 14, 2014, our board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period from November 1, 2014 through November 30, 2014, which we paid on December 1, 2014. On November 10, 2014, our board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period from December 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, which we expect to pay in January 2015, and distributions based on daily record dates for the period from January 1, 2015 through January 31, 2015, which we expect to pay in February 2015.  Investors may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through our dividend reinvestment plan.
Distributions for these periods are calculated based on stockholders of record each day during these periods at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day and equal a daily amount that, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 6.5% annualized rate based on the original offering price of $10.00 per share or a 6.18% annualized rate based on the current offering price of $10.51 per share in this primary offering.

_____________________
(1) As of September 30, 2014, we had accrued and deferred payment of $3.8 million of asset management fees. See “Deferral of Asset Management Fees” below.
(2) Our advisor may seek reimbursement for certain employee costs under the advisory agreement. We have reimbursed our advisor for our allocable portion of the salaries, benefits and overhead of internal audit department personnel providing services to us. These amounts totaled $99,000 and $131,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively, and were the only employee costs reimbursed under the advisory agreement for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013. We will not reimburse for employee costs in connection with services for which our advisor earns acquisition, origination or disposition fees (other than reimbursement of travel and communication expenses) or for the salaries or benefits our advisor or its affiliates may pay to our executive officers.
Offering Costs
In connection with this offering, our sponsors agreed to provide additional indemnification to one of the participating broker dealers.  We agreed to add supplemental coverage to our directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage to insure our sponsors’ obligations under this indemnification agreement in exchange for reimbursement to us by our sponsors for all costs, expenses and premiums related to this supplemental coverage. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our advisor incurred $88,000 for the costs of the supplemental coverage obtained by us. During the year ended December 31, 2013, our advisor incurred $19,000 for the costs of the supplemental coverage obtained by us.
Through September 30, 2014, our advisor had incurred organization and other offering costs of approximately $4.7 million on our behalf. At the termination of this primary offering and at the termination of the offering under our dividend reinvestment plan, our advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering expenses incurred by us exceed 15% of the gross offering proceeds. In addition, at the end of this primary offering and again at the end of the offering under our dividend reinvestment plan, our advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that organization and offering expenses excluding underwriting compensation (which includes selling commissions, dealer manager fees and any other items viewed as underwriting compensation by FINRA) exceed 2% of the gross offering proceeds.
Through September 30, 2014, our dealer manager had incurred offering costs of $6.9 million on our behalf. We reimburse our dealer manager for underwriting compensation as discussed in the prospectus for this offering, provided that within 30 days after the end of the month in which this primary offering terminates, our dealer manager must reimburse us to the extent that our reimbursements cause total underwriting compensation for this primary offering to exceed 10% of the gross offering proceeds from such offering. We also directly pay or reimburse our dealer manager for bona fide invoiced due diligence expenses of broker dealers.

16


However, no reimbursements made by us to our advisor or the dealer manager may cause total organization and offering expenses incurred by us (including selling commissions, dealer manager fees and all other items of organization and offering expenses) to exceed 15% of the aggregate gross proceeds from this primary offering and the offering under our dividend reinvestment plan as of the date of reimbursement. As of September 30, 2014, selling commissions, dealer manager fees, and organization and other offering costs did not exceed 15% of the gross offering proceeds. Through September 30, 2014, including shares issued through our dividend reinvestment plan, we had sold 99,729,109 shares in this offering for gross offering proceeds of $995.9 million and incurred selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $87.8 million and other offering costs of $18.4 million.
In addition, from inception through September 30, 2014, we had recorded $1.2 million of offering costs related to the Follow-on Offering. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, our advisor would be obligated to reimburse us to the extent offering costs incurred by us in the Follow-on Offering exceed 15% of the gross offering proceeds of the Follow on Offering. As of September 30, 2014, we had not commenced the Follow-on Offering and as such, we recorded $1.2 million as deferred financing costs, prepaid expenses and other assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014. We may not reimburse our dealer manager for expenses it has incurred to the extent that total organization and offering expenses incurred by us exceed 15% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the Follow-on Offering. Since as of September 30, 2014, we had not commenced the Follow-on Offering, we had not reimbursed any amounts to our dealer manager related to the Follow-on Offering.
Insurance
On January 6, 2014, we, together with KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc., KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, Inc., our dealer manager, our advisor and other KBS-affiliated entities, entered into an errors and omissions and directors and officers liability insurance program where the lower tiers of such insurance coverage are shared. The cost of these lower tiers is allocated by our advisor and its insurance broker among each of the various entities covered by the program, and is billed directly to each entity. The allocation of these shared coverage costs is proportionate to the pricing by the insurance marketplace for the first tiers of directors and officers liability coverage purchased individually by each REIT. Our advisor’s and our dealer manager’s portion of the shared lower tiers’ cost is proportionate to the respective entities’ prior cost for the errors and omissions insurance.
Deferral of Asset Management Fees
Pursuant to our advisory agreement, with respect to asset management fees accruing from March 1, 2014, our advisor defers, without interest, our obligation to pay asset management fees for any month in which our MFFO for such month, excluding asset management fees, does not exceed the amount of distributions declared by us for record dates of that month. We remain obligated to pay our advisor an asset management fee in any month in which our MFFO, excluding asset management fees, for such month exceeds the amount of distributions declared for the record dates of that month (such excess amount, an “MFFO Surplus”); however, any amount of such asset management fee in excess of the MFFO Surplus will also be deferred under the advisory agreement. If the MFFO Surplus for any month exceeds the amount of the asset management fee payable for such month, any remaining MFFO Surplus will be applied to pay any asset management fee amounts previously deferred in accordance with the advisory agreement.
However, notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all deferred asset management fees that are unpaid will become immediately due and payable at such time as our stockholders have received, together as a collective group, aggregate distributions (including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) sufficient to provide (i) an 8.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such net invested capital (the “Stockholders’ 8% Return”) and (ii) a return of their net invested capital, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by any amounts to repurchase shares pursuant to our share redemption program. The Stockholders’ 8% Return is not based on the return provided to any individual stockholder. Accordingly, it is not necessary for each of our stockholders to have received any minimum return in order for our advisor to receive deferred asset management fees.
As of September 30, 2014, we had accrued and deferred payment of $3.8 million of asset management fees under the advisory agreement, as we believe the payment of this amount to our advisor is probable. These fees will be reimbursed in accordance with the terms noted above. In November 2014, we paid $1.8 million of the accrued and deferred asset management fees outstanding as of September 30, 2014.

Share Redemption Program
Our share redemption program contains numerous restrictions on your ability to redeem your shares. Among other restrictions, during each calendar year, redemptions are limited to the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year, provided that we may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares upon 10 business days’ notice. This restriction may significantly limit your ability to have your shares redeemed pursuant to our share redemption program. In 2012, our net proceeds from the dividend reinvestment plan were $5.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we redeemed $2.8 million of shares of common stock and funded these redemptions with the net proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan, which reflected all redemption requests eligible for redemption under our share redemption program and received in good order. The average price paid by us to redeem shares during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $9.54 per share. In 2013, our net proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan were $12.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we redeemed $2.7 million of shares of common stock and $9.7 million was available for redemptions of shares eligible for redemption for the remainder of 2014. The average price paid by us to redeem shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $9.63 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we funded redemptions under our share redemption program with the net proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan, and we fulfilled all redemption requests eligible for redemption under our share redemption program.
Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate our share redemption program upon 30 days’ notice to our stockholders, provided that we may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares upon 10 business days’ notice.
Renewal of Advisory Agreement
On September 27, 2014, we renewed our advisory agreement with our advisor. The renewed advisory agreement is effective through September 27, 2015; however, either party may terminate the renewed advisory agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 60 days’ written notice. The terms of the renewed advisory agreement are identical to those of the advisory agreement that was previously in effect, including the March 5, 2014 amendment to the previous advisory agreement.
Net Tangible Book Value Per Share
In connection with this offering of shares of our common stock, we are providing information about our net tangible book value per share. Our net tangible book value per share is a rough approximation of value calculated as total book value of assets minus total book value of liabilities, divided by the total 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) the substantial fees paid in connection with this offering, including selling commissions and marketing fees re-allowed by our dealer manager to participating broker dealers, (ii) the fees and expenses paid to our advisor and its affiliates in connection with the selection, acquisition, management and sale of our investments, (iii) general and administrative expenses and (iv) accumulated depreciation and amortization of real estate investments. As of December 31, 2013, our net tangible book value per share was $7.76. To the extent we are able to raise substantial proceeds in this offering, some of the expenses that cause dilution of the net tangible book value per share are expected to decrease on a per share basis, resulting in increases in the net tangible book value per share. This increase would be partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization expenses related to our real estate investments.
On December 9, 2014, our board of directors established an updated offering price for shares of common stock to be sold in this primary offering of $10.51 per share (with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers) and an offering price for shares of common stock to be sold under our dividend reinvestment plan of $9.99 per share (which is 95% of the price to acquire a share in this primary offering). These updated offering prices for this primary offering and the dividend reinvestment plan offering became effective December 12, 2014. The updated offering price of shares of common stock to be sold in this primary offering was determined by adding certain offering costs to the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities, or net asset value, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of September 30, 2014, with the exception of an adjustment for actual or estimated acquisition fees and closing costs related to six properties that were either acquired subsequent to September 30, 2014 or under contract to purchase and are reasonably probable to close, but had not yet closed as of December 9, 2014, which were included as a reduction to the net asset value. As such, the offering price of our shares is not a statement of our net asset value per share, as the offering price takes into consideration the costs and expenses associated with raising capital in this offering. Moreover, the valuation methodologies used to establish the net asset value component of our updated offering price are based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. Our board of directors may adjust the offering price of the primary offering shares or dividend reinvestment plan shares during the course of this offering. For information related to the determination of our updated offering prices, see supplement no. 22 dated December 11, 2014 to the prospectus.

The factors described above with respect to the dilution in the value of our common stock are likely to cause our offering price to be higher than the amount you would receive per share if we were to liquidate at this time.
Indebtedness
As of September 30, 2014, we had $922.9 million of mortgage debt outstanding consisting of seven variable rate mortgage loans and one fixed rate mortgage loan maturing between 2015 and 2021, including principal amortization payments, with a weighted-average remaining term of 3.7 years. Also as of September 30, 2014, we had entered into interest rate swap agreements on approximately $575.1 million of our variable rate debt. The interest rate and weighted-average interest rate of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt as of September 30, 2014 were 4.0% and 2.6%, respectively. In addition, we entered into an interest rate swap related to the Anchor Centre Mortgage Loan, which will be effective from June 1, 2015 through June 1, 2018. As of September 30, 2014, the Anchor Centre Mortgage Loan had an outstanding principal balance of $50.0 million. The interest rate and weighted-average interest rate represent the actual interest rate in effect as of September 30, 2014 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of interest rate swaps, if applicable), using interest rate indices as of September 30, 2014 where applicable. As of September 30, 2014, our borrowings and other liabilities were approximately 54% of both the cost (before depreciation and other noncash reserves) and book value (before depreciation) of our tangible assets, respectively.
On December 3, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of Reston Square, the Reston Square Buyer entered into the Reston Square Mortgage Loan for borrowings of up to $29.8 million secured by Reston Square. The Reston Square Mortgage Loan matures on February 1, 2018, with three one-year extension options, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents. On December 5, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of Ten Almaden, the Ten Almaden Buyer entered into the Ten Almaden Mortgage Loan for borrowings of up to $76.6 million secured by Ten Almaden. The Ten Almaden Mortgage Loan matures on January 1, 2018, with one three-year extension option, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents. See “Real Estate and Real Estate-Related Investments Summary - Debt Financings Subsequent to September 30, 2014” above.
Shares Sold Net of Commissions and Volume Discount Purchases
On December 9, 2014, our board of directors established an updated offering price for shares of common stock to be sold in this primary offering of $10.51 per share (with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers) and an offering price for shares of common stock to be sold under our dividend reinvestment plan of $9.99 per share (which is 95% of the price to acquire a share in this primary offering). These updated offering prices for this primary offering and the dividend reinvestment plan offering were effective December 12, 2014. For information related to the determination of our updated offering prices, see supplement no. 22 dated December 11, 2014 to the prospectus. Below we provide information regarding discounts available to certain categories of purchasers based on the updated offering prices.
Shares Sold Net of Commissions
Except as provided below and in the prospectus, KBS Capital Markets Group receives selling commissions of 6.5% of the gross offering proceeds for shares sold in this primary offering. KBS Capital Markets Group also receives 3% of the gross primary offering proceeds as compensation for acting as our dealer manager, except that a reduced dealer manager fee is paid with respect to certain volume discount sales. We do not pay any selling commissions or dealer manager fees for shares sold under our dividend reinvestment plan.
We may sell shares at a discount to the primary offering price (currently $10.51 per share) through the following distribution channels in the event that the investor:
pays a broker a single fee, e.g., a percentage of assets under management, for investment advisory and broker services, or a wrap fee;
has engaged the services of a registered investment adviser with whom the investor has agreed to pay compensation for investment advisory services or other financial or investment advice (other than a registered investment adviser that is also registered as a broker-dealer who does not have a fixed or wrap fee feature or other asset fee arrangement with the investor); or
is investing through a bank acting as trustee or fiduciary.
If an investor purchases shares through one of these channels in this primary offering, we will sell the shares at a 6.5% discount (e.g., currently at $9.8269 per share based on the primary offering price of $10.51 per share), reflecting that selling commissions will not be paid in connection with such purchases. We will receive substantially the same net proceeds for sales of shares through these channels.

Our dealer manager has agreed to sell up to 5% of the shares offered hereby in this primary offering to persons to be identified by us at a discount from the public offering price. We intend to use this “friends and family” program to sell shares to our directors, officers, business associates and others to the extent consistent with applicable laws and regulations. We will require all such purchasers to represent that they are purchasing shares for investment only and to enter into one-year lock-up agreements with respect to the purchased shares. We will sell shares under the “friends and family program” at a 6.5% discount (e.g., currently at $9.8269 per share based on the primary offering price of $10.51 per share), reflecting that selling commissions will not be paid in connection with such purchases. The net proceeds to us from the sales made net of commissions will be substantially the same as the net proceeds we receive from other sales of shares.
We may sell shares to participating broker-dealers, their retirement plans, their representatives and the family members, IRAs and the qualified plans of their representatives at a 6.5% discount (e.g., currently at $9.8269 per share based on the primary offering price of $10.51 per share), reflecting that selling commissions will not be paid in connection with such purchases in consideration of the services rendered by such broker-dealers and representatives in this offering. For purposes of this discount, we consider a family member to be a spouse, parent, child, sibling, mother- or father-in-law, son- or daughter-in law or brother- or sister-in-law. The net proceeds to us from the sales of these shares will be substantially the same as the net proceeds we receive from other sales of shares.
Volume Discount Purchases
We are offering volume discounts to investors who purchase $1,000,001 or more of shares in this primary offering. The net proceeds to us from a sale eligible for a volume discount are the same, but the selling commissions and, in some cases, the dealer manager fees we pay are reduced. Because our dealer manager reallows all selling commissions, the amount of commissions participating broker-dealers receive for such sales is reduced.
The following table shows the discounted price per share and the reduced selling commissions and dealer manager fees payable for volume sales of our shares based on the primary offering price of $10.51 per share.

We will apply the reduced selling price, selling commission and dealer manager fee to the entire purchase. All commission rates and dealer manager fees are calculated assuming a price per share of $10.51. For example, a purchase of 250,000 shares in a single transaction would result in a purchase price of $2,574,950 ($10.2998 per share), selling commissions of $118,238 and dealer manager fees of $78,825.
If an investor purchases $3,000,001 or more of shares in this primary offering through a distribution channel under which selling commissions are not paid, we will apply the reduced dealer manager fee available as set forth in the table above. The following table shows the discounted price per share and the reduced dealer manager fees payable for volume sales of our shares sold net of selling commissions.

To qualify for a volume discount as a result of multiple purchases of our shares, you must mark the “Additional Investment” space on the subscription agreement. We are not responsible for failing to combine purchases if you fail to mark the “Additional Investment” space. Once you qualify for a volume discount, you will be eligible to receive the benefit of such discount for subsequent purchases of shares in this primary offering. If a subsequent purchase entitles an investor to an increased reduction in sales commissions and/or the dealer manager fee, the volume discount will apply only to the current and future investments.
The following persons may combine their purchases as a “single purchaser” for the purpose of qualifying for a volume discount:
an individual, his or her spouse, their children under the age of 21 and all pension or trust funds established by each such individual;
a corporation, partnership, association, joint-stock company, trust fund or any organized group of persons, whether incorporated or not;
an employees’ trust, pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
all commingled trust funds maintained by a given bank.
In the event a person wishes to have his or her order combined with others as a “single purchaser,” that person must request such treatment in writing at the time of subscription setting forth the basis for the discount and identifying the orders to be combined. Any request will be subject to our verification that the orders to be combined are made by a single purchaser. If the subscription agreements for the combined orders of a single purchaser are submitted at the same time, then the commissions payable and discounted share price will be allocated pro rata among the combined orders on the basis of the respective amounts being combined. Otherwise, the volume discount provisions will apply only to the order that qualifies the single purchaser for the volume discount and the subsequent orders of that single purchaser.
Only shares purchased in this primary offering are eligible for volume discounts. Shares purchased through our dividend reinvestment plan are not eligible for a volume discount nor will such shares count toward the threshold limits listed above that qualify an investor for the different discount levels.
Volume discounts for California residents will be available in accordance with the foregoing table of uniform discount levels. However, with respect to California residents, no discounts will be allowed to any group of purchasers and no subscriptions may be aggregated as part of a combined order for purposes of determining the dollar amount of shares purchased.
A Change in the Minimum Purchase Requirements for Investments from Distributions of Other KBS-Sponsored Programs
You must generally initially invest at least $4,000 in our shares to be eligible to participate in this offering. If you have satisfied the applicable minimum purchase requirement, any additional purchase must be in amounts of at least $100. The investment minimum for subsequent purchases does not apply to shares purchased pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan.
If you own the minimum investment in shares (400 shares) in KBS REIT I, KBS REIT II, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II or any future KBS-sponsored public program, you may invest less than the minimum amount set forth above, but in no event less than $100, unless you are investing distributions from a KBS-sponsored public program. If you are investing distributions from a KBS-sponsored public program and you own the minimum investment in shares from a KBS-sponsored public program, then there is no minimum investment in our shares. Moreover, if you are investing distributions from a KBS-sponsored public program in an amount less than $100, our advisor will waive the $35 subscription processing fee that we otherwise pay to the advisor.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund the acquisition, expansion and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. We are also exposed to the effects of changes in interest rates as a result of the acquisition and origination of mortgage and other loans. Our profitability and the value of our real estate investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We may manage interest rate risk by maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level. We may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, floors, and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for the payment of distributions to our stockholders and that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments.

We expect to borrow funds and make investments at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt or fixed rate real estate loans receivable unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of fixed rate instruments. As of September 30, 2014, the fair value and carrying value of our fixed rate real estate loan receivable was $18.1 million and $18.3 million, respectively. The fair value estimate of our real estate loan receivable is calculated using an internal valuation model that considers the expected cash flows for the loan, underlying collateral value and the estimated yield requirements of institutional investors for loans with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $102.7 million and the carrying value of our fixed rate debt was $102.7 million.  The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt is calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loan was originated as of September 30, 2014.  As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.
Conversely, movements in interest rates on variable rate debt and loans receivable would change future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of floating rate instruments. As of September 30, 2014, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $245.1 million of variable rate debt outstanding after giving consideration to the impact of interest rate swap agreements on approximately $575.1 million of our variable debt. Based on interest rates as of September 30, 2014, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher during the 12 months ending September 30, 2015, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase by $2.5 million. As of September 30, 2014, one-month LIBOR was 0.1525% and if this index was reduced to 0% during the 12 months ending September 30, 2015, interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease by $0.4 million. As of September 30, 2014, we did not own any variable rate loans receivable.
The annual effective interest rate of our fixed rate real estate loan receivable as of September 30, 2014 was 7.5%. The effective interest rate represents the effective interest rate as of September 30, 2014, using the interest method, which we use to recognize interest income on our real estate loan receivable. The interest rate and weighted-average interest rate of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt as of September 30, 2014 were 4.0% and 2.6%, respectively.  The interest rate and weighted-average interest rate represent the actual interest rate in effect as of September 30, 2014 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of interest rate swaps, if applicable), using interest rate indices as of September 30, 2014 where applicable.

Overview
We were formed on December 22, 2009 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011 and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner. On February 4, 2010, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a minimum of 250,000 shares and a maximum of up to 280,000,000 shares, or up to $2,760,000,000 of shares, of common stock for sale to the public in this offering, of which up to 200,000,000 shares, or up to $2,000,000,000 of shares, were registered in this primary offering and up to 80,000,000 shares, or up to $760,000,000 of shares, were registered under our dividend reinvestment plan. The SEC declared our registration statement effective on October 26, 2010 and we retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC (“KBS Capital Markets Group”), an affiliate of our advisor, to serve as the dealer manager of this offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement. The dealer manager is responsible for marketing our shares in this offering.

We have invested in and intend to invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate investments. Our primary investment focus is core real estate properties. The types of real estate properties that we may invest in include office, industrial and retail properties located throughout the United States. Although we may invest in any of these types of properties, we expect to invest primarily in office and industrial properties. Our core property focus in the U.S. office sector has reflected a more value-creating core strategy, and based on the current market outlook, we expect to continue this strategy. In many cases, these properties have slightly higher (10% to 15%) vacancy rates and/or higher near-term lease rollover at acquisition than more conservative value-maintaining core properties. These characteristics provide us with opportunities to lease space at higher rates, especially in markets with increasing absorption, or to re-lease space in these properties at higher rates, bringing below-market rates of in-place expiring leases up to market rates. Many of these properties will require a moderate level of additional investment for capital expenditures and tenant improvement costs in order to improve or rebrand the properties and increase rental rates. Thus, we believe these properties provide an opportunity for us to achieve more significant capital appreciation by increasing occupancy, negotiating new leases with higher rental rates and/or executing enhancement projects. All such real estate assets may be acquired directly by us or the Operating Partnership, though we may invest in other entities that make similar investments. We also currently expect to allocate between 0 and 20% of our portfolio to real estate-related investments such as mortgage loans. As of September 30, 2014, we owned 14 office properties and had originated one first mortgage loan.
On March 24, 2011, we broke escrow in this offering and through September 30, 2014, we had sold 99,729,109 shares of common stock for gross offering proceeds of $995.9 million, including 4,051,085 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $38.9 million.
Our board of directors has extended the closing date of this offering until the earlier of the sale of up to 200,000,000 shares, or up to $2,000,000,000 of shares, or the date the registration statement relating to the Follow-on Offering is declared effective by the SEC.
On February 14, 2013, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to register the Follow-on Offering. Pursuant to the Follow-on Offering registration statement, we propose to register up to $2,000,000,000 of shares of common stock for sale to the public in the primary Follow-on Offering. We also expect to register up to $760,000,000 of shares of common stock pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan in the Follow-on Offering. We can give no assurance that we will commence or complete the Follow-on Offering.
Our dealer manager has recommended that our offering stage last no longer than September 2015. The duration of our offering stage will be based on a number of considerations, including our goal of raising sufficient proceeds to continue to acquire a diverse portfolio of real estate investments prior to seeking a liquidity event, the expected pace of sales of our common stock during 2014 and 2015, the current and anticipated composition and quality of our portfolio and the condition of the commercial real estate market. We will continue to monitor these factors and may adjust our anticipated offering stage as necessary based on these and other factors.
We plan to continue to offer shares under our dividend reinvestment plan beyond the termination of the offering stage for our primary offering. In some states, we will need to renew the registration statement annually or file a new registration statement to continue the dividend reinvestment plan offering.
We may terminate our primary offering or our dividend reinvestment plan offering at any time.
Also as of September 30, 2014, we had redeemed 648,016 shares sold in this offering for $6.2 million.
As our advisor, KBS Capital Advisors manages our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of real estate investments. KBS Capital Advisors makes recommendations on all investments to our board of directors. All proposed investments must be approved by at least a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of the conflicts committee. Unless otherwise provided by our charter, the conflicts committee may approve a proposed investment without action by the full board of directors if the approving members of the conflicts committee constitute at least a majority of the board of directors. KBS Capital Advisors also provides asset-management, marketing, investor-relations and other administrative services on our behalf. Our advisor owns 20,000 shares of our common stock. We have no paid employees.

Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets
The following discussion is based on management’s beliefs, observations and expectations with respect to the real estate and real estate finance markets.
As a direct result of the recent recession, the Federal Reserve has maintained an accommodative monetary policy since the introduction of quantitative easing (“QE”) in October of 2008. Through this program, the Federal Reserve injected trillions of U.S. dollars into the global financial markets through the purchases of U.S. treasury bonds and mortgage backed securities. At present, it is unclear what the final cost or impact of this program will be. In July 2014, the Federal Reserve announced plans to end the purchase of securities by October 2014. The imminent end of this program has shifted investor focus from QE to the timing of an eventual interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve.
In the United States, recent economic data has been improving. Slow and steady growth in the labor markets has driven unemployment below 6%. The U.S. labor participation rate continues to be less than optimal at 62.7% as of September 2014 and personal income growth remained muted at 0.3% as of August 2014. Consumer spending in the United States has increased, and is being driven by lower debt service burdens, record level stock market valuations and rebounding home prices. U.S. gross domestic product (“U.S. GDP”) has continued to grow at a moderate level. In the fourth quarter of 2013, U.S. GDP increased at an annual rate of 3.5%, which was followed by a decrease in U.S. GDP of 2.1% in the first quarter of 2014. In the second quarter of 2014, U.S. GDP grew at an annual rate of 4.6% and the current consensus expectation for overall U.S. GDP growth in 2014 is a modest 2.2%.
The U.S. dollar has remained a safe haven currency and the U.S. commercial real estate market has benefited from an inflow of foreign capital. Initially, gateway markets such as New York City and San Francisco benefited from a high demand for commercial properties. By 2014, the commercial real estate market recovery had spread to secondary and tertiary markets and to most asset classes. The U.S. commercial real estate market has continued to gain favor as an alternative investment class and capital flows continue to improve. Looking forward, however, the recovery in commercial real estate is expected to remain uneven across geographies and among property types.
After several years of improving market conditions, the recovery in the U.S. residential real estate market has recently begun to slow. The initial recovery was driven by low interest rates, pent-up demand from the consumer sector and institutional investors in the form of buy-to-rent portfolios. In 2014, investor demand for homes has slowed and stringent mortgage lending standards have reduced demand in the residential markets. In addition, as referenced above, the Federal Reserve’s QE program, which peaked at $85 billion a month in purchases of long-term treasury bonds and mortgage backed securities terminated on October 31, 2014. This reduction in market support could cause the demand for residential real estate to decrease further.
From a global standpoint, the U.S. economy is considered to be a bright spot. Recently the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) lowered its global growth forecast from 3.7% to 3.3%. Lower than expected growth in the European Union (“EU”) and Chinese economies are the primary factors in the forecast change. Geopolitical events in the Ukraine and Middle East and the recent outbreak of the Ebola virus in Africa, and its possible spread to the rest of the world, have all been impediments to global economic growth.
Overall, despite indications of recovery in the United States and the U.K., uncertainties abound. China’s export-based economy has slowed, the EU is wrestling with the specter of deflation and another recession, and in Japan the government continues to experiment with a large-scale QE program of its own. In the United States, the Federal Reserve has stuck to its schedule for ending the QE program and we are monitoring the markets for their reaction to global economic slowing and related uncertainty. In the short-term, we anticipate that market conditions will continue to change and, combined with a challenging global macro-economic environment, may interfere with the implementation of our business strategy and/or force us to modify it.
Impact on Our Real Estate Properties
While current forecasts for the U.S. economy are positive, there is a level of uncertainty inherent to this outlook. Currently, both the investing and leasing environments are highly competitive. While there has been an increase in the amount of capital flowing into the U.S. real estate markets, which has resulted in an increase in real estate values in certain markets, the uncertainty regarding the economic environment has made businesses reluctant to make long-term commitments or changes in their business plans. Possible future declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows. Historically low interest rates could help offset some of the impact of these potential decreases in operating cash flow for properties financed with variable rate mortgages; however, interest rates likely will not remain at these historically low levels for the remaining life of many of our investments. Interest rates have become more volatile as the capital markets have prepared for the end of QE in October 2014.

24


Impact on Our Real Estate-Related Investment
Our real estate-related investment is directly secured by commercial real estate. As a result, our real estate-related investment, in general, has been and likely will continue to be impacted by the same factors impacting our real estate investments. The relatively high yields and the improving credit position of many U.S. tenants and borrowers have attracted global capital. However, the real estate and capital markets are fluid and the positive trends can reverse quickly. Economic conditions remain relatively unstable and can have a negative impact on the performance of collateral securing any loan investments we make, and therefore may impact the ability of some borrowers under any loans we make to make contractual interest payments to us.
As of September 30, 2014, we owned one fixed rate real estate loan receivable with a principal balance of $18.2 million and a carrying value of $18.3 million that matures in 2016.
Impact on Our Financing Activities
In light of the risks associated with potentially volatile operating cash flows from some of our real estate properties, we may have difficulty refinancing some of our debt obligations prior to or at maturity or we may not be able to refinance these obligations at terms as favorable as the terms of our existing indebtedness. Recent financial market conditions have improved from the bottom of the economic cycle, but material risks are still present. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of our investments. As of September 30, 2014, we had debt obligations in the aggregate principal amount of $922.9 million, all of which mature between 2015 and 2021, including principal amortization payments. We have a total of $102.7 million of fixed rate notes payable and $820.2 million of variable rate notes payable. The interest rates on $575.1 million of our variable rate notes payable are effectively fixed through interest rate swap agreements. In addition, we entered into an interest rate swap related to the Anchor Centre Mortgage Loan, which will be effective from June 1, 2015 through June 1, 2018. As of September 30, 2014, the Anchor Centre Mortgage Loan had an outstanding principal balance of $50.0 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are dependent upon the net proceeds from this offering to conduct our proposed operations. We will obtain the capital required to purchase real estate investments and conduct our operations from: the proceeds of this offering, including our dividend reinvestment plan, and any future follow-on offerings we may conduct; secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders; and any undistributed funds from our operations.
On March 24, 2011, we broke escrow in this offering and through September 30, 2014, we had sold 99,729,109 shares for gross offering proceeds of $995.9 million, including 4,051,085 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $38.9 million. Also as of September 30, 2014, we had redeemed 648,016 shares sold in this offering for $6.2 million. If we do not raise significant funds in our public offerings, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number, size and geographic region of our investments and the value of an investment in us will be tied more closely to the performance of each individual asset we acquire. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise significant funds in our public offerings. Our inability to raise significant funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions.
Our board of directors has extended the closing date of this offering until the earlier of the sale of up to 200,000,000 shares, or up to $2,000,000,000 of shares, or the date the registration statement relating to the Follow-on Offering is declared effective by the SEC.
On February 14, 2013, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to register the Follow-on Offering. Pursuant to the Follow-on Offering registration statement, we propose to register up to $2,000,000,000 of shares of common stock for sale to the public in the primary Follow-on Offering. We also expect to register up to $760,000,000 of shares of common stock pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan in the Follow-on Offering. We can give no assurance that we will commence or complete the Follow-on Offering.
Our dealer manager has recommended that our offering stage last no longer than September 2015. The duration of our offering stage will be based on a number of considerations, including our goal of raising sufficient proceeds to continue to acquire a diverse portfolio of real estate investments prior to seeking a liquidity event, the expected pace of sales of our common stock during 2014 and 2015, the current and anticipated composition and quality of our portfolio and the current condition of the commercial real estate market. We will continue to monitor these factors and may adjust our anticipated offering stage as necessary based on these and other factors.
We plan to continue to offer shares under our dividend reinvestment plan beyond the termination of the offering stage for our primary offering. In some states, we will need to renew the registration statement annually or file a new registration statement to continue the dividend reinvestment plan offering.

We may terminate this offering or our dividend reinvestment plan offering at any time.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we acquired three office properties. Our cash needs for these investments were met with proceeds from this offering, proceeds from the sale of real estate and debt financing. Operating cash needs during the same period were met through cash flow generated by our real estate properties and real estate-related investment.
Our real estate properties generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, which are reduced by operating expenditures, capital expenditures, debt service payments, the payment of asset management fees and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from our real estate properties is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates on our leases, the collectibility of rent and operating recoveries from our tenants and how well we manage our expenditures. As of September 30, 2014, we owned 14 office properties that were collectively 90% occupied.
Our real estate-related investment generates cash flow in the form of interest income, which is reduced by loan servicing fees, the payment of asset management fees and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from our real estate-related investment is primarily dependent on the operating performance of the underlying collateral and the borrower’s ability to make its debt service payments. As of September 30, 2014, the borrower under our real estate loan receivable was current on all contractual debt service payments to us.
As of September 30, 2014, we had mortgage debt obligations in the aggregate principal amount of $922.9 million, all of which mature between 2015 and 2021, including principal amortization payments. As of September 30, 2014, we had $42.2 million of revolving debt available for immediate future disbursement under a portfolio loan, subject to certain conditions set forth in the loan agreement.
We made distributions to our stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 using cash flow from operations and debt financing. We believe that our cash flow from operations, cash on hand, proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan, proceeds from the sale of real estate and current and anticipated financing activities are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
Under our charter, we are required to limit our total operating expenses to the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters, as these terms are defined in our charter, unless the conflicts committee has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. Operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2014 did not exceed the charter-imposed limitation.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
We commenced operations in connection with our first investment on June 24, 2011. As of September 30, 2014, we owned 14 office properties and one real estate loan receivable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was $35.5 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $17.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Net cash provided by operating activities increased in 2014 primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $359.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and primarily consisted of the following:
$386.0 million for the acquisitions of three real estate properties;
$42.7 million of net proceeds from the sale of real estate;
$15.2 million of improvements to real estate; and
$1.2 million of advances on our real estate loan receivable.

26


Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Our cash flows from financing activities consist primarily of proceeds from this offering, debt financings and distributions paid to our stockholders. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities was $446.0 million and primarily consisted of the following:
$278.1 million of net cash provided by offering proceeds related to this offering, net of payments of commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering expenses of $33.1 million, including $0.2 million of other organization and offering expenses related to the Follow-on Offering;
$189.7 million of net cash provided by debt financing as a result of proceeds from notes payable of $232.2 million, partially offset by principal payments on notes payable of $40.0 million and payments of deferred financing costs of $2.5 million;
$19.1 million of net cash distributions, after giving effect to distributions reinvested by stockholders of $20.5 million; and
$2.7 million of cash used for redemptions of common stock.
Once we have fully invested the proceeds of our public offerings, we expect that our debt financing and other liabilities will be between 35% and 65% of the cost of our tangible assets (before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves). We expect our debt financing related to the acquisition of core real estate properties to be between 45% and 65% of the aggregate cost of all such assets. We expect our debt financing related to the acquisition or origination of real estate-related investments to be between 0% and 65% of the aggregate cost of all such assets, depending upon the availability of such financings in the marketplace. Though this is our target leverage, our charter does not limit our leverage until our total liabilities would exceed 75% of the cost of our tangible assets (before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves), and we may exceed this limit with the approval of the conflicts committee of our board of directors. To the extent financing in excess of this limit is available on attractive terms, our conflicts committee may approve debt in excess of this limit. As of September 30, 2014, our borrowings and other liabilities were approximately 54% of both the cost (before depreciation and other noncash reserves) and book value (before depreciation) of our tangible assets, respectively.
In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor and our dealer manager. Pursuant to the advisory agreement and the dealer manager agreement, we are obligated to pay fees to and reimburse our advisor, our dealer manager and/or their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and other offering costs related to this offering.  See the discussion under “— Organization and Offering Costs” below. During our acquisition and development stage, we expect to make payments to our advisor in connection with the selection and origination or purchase of investments, the management of our investments and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us. We also expect to pay fees to our advisor in connection with the disposition of investments.
Among the fees payable to our advisor is an asset management fee. With respect to investments in real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the amount paid or allocated to acquire the investment, plus the cost of any subsequent development, construction or improvements to the property. This amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition expenses related thereto (but excludes acquisition fees paid or payable to our advisor). In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee will be determined based on our proportionate share of the underlying investment. With respect to investments in loans and any investments other than real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee calculated, each month, as one-twelfth of 0.75% of the lesser of (i) the amount actually paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment (which amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition or origination expenses related thereto but is exclusive of acquisition or origination fees paid or payable to our advisor) and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, plus the acquisition or origination expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment (excluding acquisition or origination fees paid or payable to our advisor), as of the time of calculation.
On September 27, 2014, we and our advisor renewed the advisory agreement, which renewal included the incorporation of a March 5, 2014 amendment to the prior advisory agreement. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, with respect to asset management fees accruing from March 1, 2014, our advisor defers, without interest, our obligation to pay asset management fees for any month in which our modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) for such month, as such term is defined in the practice guideline issued by the Investment Program Association (“IPA”) in November 2010 and interpreted by us, excluding asset management fees, does not exceed the amount of distributions declared by us for record dates of that month. We remain obligated to pay our advisor an asset management fee in any month in which our MFFO, excluding asset management fees, for such month exceeds the amount of distributions declared for the record dates of that month (such excess amount, an “MFFO Surplus”); however, any amount of such asset management fee in excess of the MFFO Surplus will also be deferred under the advisory agreement. If the MFFO Surplus for any month exceeds the amount of the asset management fee payable for such month, any remaining MFFO Surplus will be applied to pay any asset management fee amounts previously deferred in accordance with the advisory agreement.

27


As of September 30, 2014, we had accrued and deferred payment of $3.8 million of asset management fees under the advisory agreement, as we believe the payment of this amount to our advisor is probable. These fees will be reimbursed in accordance with the terms noted above.  The amount of asset management fees deferred will vary on a month-to-month basis, especially during our offering stage as we may raise capital in this offering (and possibly future offerings) more quickly than we acquire income-producing assets. The total amount of asset management fees deferred as well as the timing of the deferrals and repayments are difficult to predict as they will depend on the volume of capital raised in this offering, the speed with which we are able to deploy capital raised, the level of operating cash flow generated by future acquisitions, the performance of all of the real estate investments in our portfolio and other factors. In addition, deferrals and repayments may occur in the same period, and it is possible that there could be additional deferrals even after the initial deferrals are fully repaid.
However, notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all deferred asset management fees that are unpaid will become immediately due and payable at such time as our stockholders have received, together as a collective group, aggregate distributions (including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) sufficient to provide (i) an 8.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such net invested capital (the “Stockholders’ 8% Return”) and (ii) a return of their net invested capital, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by any amounts to repurchase shares pursuant to our share redemption program. The Stockholders’ 8% Return is not based on the return provided to any individual stockholder. Accordingly, it is not necessary for each of our stockholders to have received any minimum return in order for our advisor to receive deferred asset management fees.
The advisory agreement has a one-year term but may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of our advisor and our conflicts committee.

Results of Operations
Overview
Our results of operations as of September 30, 2014 are not indicative of those expected in future periods, as we broke escrow in this offering on March 24, 2011 and have since been raising money in and investing the proceeds from this offering. As of September 30, 2013, we owned ten office properties and one real estate loan receivable. As of September 30, 2014, we owned 14 office properties and one real estate loan receivable and had sold one office property. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of owning the investments acquired in 2014 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments. As a result, the results of operations presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are not directly comparable.

(1) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 related to real estate investments acquired or disposed of on or after July 1, 2013.
(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 with respect to real estate investments owned by us throughout both periods presented.
Rental income and tenant reimbursements from our real estate properties increased from $22.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $46.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio, partially offset by the sale of one of our properties on February 19, 2014. We expect that our rental income and tenant reimbursements will increase in future periods as a result of owning the real estate properties acquired in 2014 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate properties.
Interest income from our real estate loan receivable, recognized using the interest method, increased from $271,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $342,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in interest income is a result of an increase in the overall loan balance as a result of advances made under the real estate loan receivable. We expect interest income to vary in future periods as we make advances under the real estate loan receivable or receive principal repayments and to the extent we make any additional investments in real estate loans receivable.
Other operating income increased from $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio. Other operating income primarily consisted of parking revenues. We expect other operating income to increase in future periods as a result of owning the real estate properties acquired in 2014 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate properties.
Operating, maintenance and management costs increased from $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $11.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio, partially offset by the sale of one of our properties on February 19, 2014. We expect operating, maintenance and management costs to increase in future periods as a result of owning the real estate properties acquired in 2014 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate properties.
Real estate taxes and insurance increased from $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio, partially offset by the sale of one of our properties on February 19, 2014. We expect real estate taxes and insurance to increase in future periods as a result of owning the real estate properties acquired in 2014 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate properties.

29


Asset management fees with respect to our real estate investments increased from $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio, partially offset by the sale of one of our properties on February 19, 2014. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods as a result of owning the real estate properties acquired in 2014 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments. As of September 30, 2014, there were $3.8 million of accrued and deferred asset management fees. For a discussion of accrued and deferred asset management fees, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Cash Flows from Financing Activities” herein.
Real estate acquisition fees and expenses to affiliate and non-affiliates increased from $8,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. We did not acquire any real estate properties during the three months ended September 30, 2013. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we acquired one real estate property for $132.2 million. We expect real estate acquisition fees and expenses to vary in future periods based upon acquisition activity.
Depreciation and amortization increased from $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $20.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio, partially offset by the sale of one of our properties on February 19, 2014. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods as a result of owning the real estate properties acquired in 2014 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate properties.
Interest expense increased from $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to increased borrowings as a result of our use of debt in acquiring real estate properties in 2013 and 2014. We expect interest expense to increase in future periods as a result of additional borrowing for anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments.

(1) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 related to real estate investments acquired or disposed of on or after January 1, 2013.
(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 with respect to real estate investments owned by us throughout both periods presented.
Rental income and tenant reimbursements from our real estate properties increased from $51.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $130.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio, partially offset by the sale of one of our properties on February 19, 2014. Additionally, rental income and tenant reimbursements related to properties held throughout both periods increased by approximately $1.1 million primarily as a result of a slight increase in occupancy. We expect that our rental income and tenant reimbursements will increase in future periods as a result of owning the real estate properties acquired in 2014 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate properties.

30


Interest income from our real estate loan receivable, recognized using the interest method, increased from $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in interest income is a result of an increase in the overall loan balance as a result of advances made under the real estate loan receivable. We expect interest income to vary in future periods as we make advances under the real estate loan receivable or receive principal repayments and to the extent we make any additional investments in real estate loans receivable.
Other operating income increased from $0.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio. Other operating income primarily consisted of parking revenues. We expect other operating income to increase in future periods as a result of owning the real estate properties acquired in 2014 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate properties.
Operating, maintenance and management costs increased from $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $32.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio, partially offset by the sale of one of our properties on February 19, 2014. We expect operating, maintenance and management costs to increase in future periods as a result of owning the real estate properties acquired in 2014 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate properties.
Real estate taxes and insurance increased from $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $23.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio, partially offset by the sale of one of our properties on February 19, 2014. We expect real estate taxes and insurance to increase in future periods as a result of owning the real estate properties acquired in 2014 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate properties.
Asset management fees with respect to our real estate investments increased from $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio, partially offset by the sale of one of our properties on February 19, 2014. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods as a result of owning the real estate properties acquired in 2014 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments. As of September 30, 2014, there were $3.8 million of accrued and deferred asset management fees. For a discussion of accrued and deferred asset management fees, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Cash Flows from Financing Activities” herein.
Real estate acquisition fees and expenses to affiliate and non-affiliates decreased from $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in acquisition activity as we acquired four real estate properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three real estate properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We expect real estate acquisition fees and expenses to vary in future periods based upon acquisition activity.
Depreciation and amortization increased from $23.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $56.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio, partially offset by the sale of one of our properties on February 19, 2014. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods as a result of owning the real estate properties acquired in 2014 for an entire period and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate properties.
Interest expense increased from $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.9 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to increased borrowings as a result of our use of debt in acquiring real estate properties in 2013 and 2014. We expect interest expense to increase in future periods as a result of additional borrowing for anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we sold one office property that resulted in a gain on sale of $10.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we did not dispose of any properties.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2014.

KBS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST III, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2014
(unaudited)

1.
ORGANIZATION
KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on December 22, 2009 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011 and it intends to continue to operate in such a manner. Substantially all of the Company’s business is expected to be conducted through KBS Limited Partnership III (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of and owns a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. KBS REIT Holdings III LLC (“REIT Holdings III”), the limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owns the remaining 99.9% interest in the Operating Partnership and is its sole limited partner. The Company is the sole member and manager of REIT Holdings III.
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is externally managed by KBS Capital Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an advisory agreement the Company entered into with the Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”). On January 26, 2010, the Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock to the Advisor at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. As of September 30, 2014, the Advisor owned 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company has invested in and intends to invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate investments. The primary types of properties the Company invests in include office, industrial and retail properties located throughout the United States. All such real estate assets may be acquired directly by the Company or the Operating Partnership, though the Company may invest in other entities that make similar investments. The Company expects its primary investment focus to be core properties. The Company’s core property focus in the U.S. office sector has reflected a more value-creating core strategy, and based on the current market outlook, the Company expects to continue this strategy. In many cases, these properties have slightly higher (10% to 15%) vacancy rates and/or higher near-term lease rollover at acquisition than more conservative value-maintaining core properties. The Company also currently expects to allocate between 0 and 20% of its portfolio to real estate-related investments such as mortgage loans. As of September 30, 2014, the Company owned 14 office properties and one first mortgage loan secured by a deed of trust.
On February 4, 2010, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to offer a minimum of 250,000 shares and a maximum of up to 280,000,000 shares, or up to $2,760,000,000 of shares, of common stock for sale to the public (the “Offering”), of which up to 80,000,000 shares, or up to $760,000,000 of shares, are being offered pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. The SEC declared the Company’s registration statement effective on October 26, 2010, and the Company retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Company, to serve as the dealer manager of the Offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement, as amended and restated (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”). As described above, the Company intends to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the Offering to invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate investments.
On March 24, 2011, the Company broke escrow in the Offering and through September 30, 2014, the Company had sold 99,729,109 shares of common stock for gross offering proceeds of $995.9 million including 4,051,085 shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $38.9 million. The Company’s board of directors has extended the closing date of the primary offering until the earlier of the sale of up to 200,000,000 shares, or up to $2,000,000,000 of shares, or the date the registration statement relating to the Company’s proposed follow-on offering (the “Follow-on Offering”) is declared effective by the SEC.
On February 14, 2013, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to register the Follow-on Offering. Pursuant to the Follow-on Offering registration statement, the Company proposes to register up to $2,000,000,000 of shares of common stock for sale to the public in the primary Follow-on Offering. The Company also expects to register up to $760,000,000 of shares of common stock pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan in the Follow-on Offering. The Company can give no assurance that it will commence or complete the Follow-on Offering.
The Dealer Manager has recommended that the Company’s primary offering stage last no longer than September 2015. The duration of the Company’s primary offering stage will be based on a number of considerations, including its goal of raising sufficient proceeds to continue to acquire a diverse portfolio of real estate investments prior to seeking a liquidity event, the expected pace of sales of its common stock during 2014 and 2015, the current and anticipated composition and quality of the Company’s portfolio and the condition of the commercial real estate market. The Company will continue to monitor these factors and may adjust its anticipated offering stage as necessary based on these and other factors.

The Company plans to offer shares under its dividend reinvestment plan beyond the termination of its primary offering stage. In some states, the Company will need to renew the registration statement annually or file a new registration statement to continue the dividend reinvestment plan offering.
The Company may terminate any of its offerings at any time.
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had redeemed 648,016 shares sold in the Offering for $6.2 million.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-08 (defined below), which impacts the Company’s reporting of discontinued operations.  For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, REIT Holdings III, the Operating Partnership and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company disposed of one office property.  As a result, certain assets and liabilities were reclassified to held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets for all applicable periods presented.
Per Share Data
Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock equals basic net income (loss) per share of common stock as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Distributions declared per common share were $0.164 and $0.486 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Distributions declared per common share were $0.164 and $0.486 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Distributions declared per common share assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For each day that was a record date for distributions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, distributions were calculated at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day. Each day during the periods from January 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013 and January 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014 was a record date for distributions.
Segments
The Company invests in core real estate properties and real estate-related investments with the goal of acquiring a portfolio of income-producing investments.  The Company’s real estate properties exhibit similar long-term financial performance and have similar economic characteristics to each other.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company aggregated its investments in real estate properties into one reportable business segment.  The Company considered both quantitative and qualitative thresholds and determined that its investment in a real estate loan receivable does not constitute a reportable segment.  Prior to the reporting period commencing on January 1, 2014, the Company had identified two reportable business segments based on its investment types: real estate and real estate-related. However, based on the Company’s current investment portfolio and its future investment focus, the Company does not believe that its investment in a real estate-related investment is a reportable segment.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU No. 2014-08”). ASU No. 2014-08 limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: a) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale; b) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; and c) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale. ASU No. 2014-08 also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2014-08 for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2014. As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2014-08, results of operations for properties that are sold or classified as held for sale in the ordinary course of business on or subsequent to January 1, 2014 would generally be included in continuing operations on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, to the extent such disposals did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation described above. Additionally, gain or loss on sale of real estate that does not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation would be included in income from continuing operations on the statements of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU No. 2014-09”).  ASU No. 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.  ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes the revenue requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification.  ASU No. 2014-09 does not apply to lease contracts within the scope of Leases (Topic 840). ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU No. 2014-15”). The amendments in ASU No. 2014-15 require management to evaluate, for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or are available to be issued when applicable) and, if so, provide related disclosures. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

(1) Annualized base rent represents annualized contractual base rental income as of September 30, 2014, adjusted to straight-line any contractual tenant concessions (including free rent), rent increases and rent decreases from the lease’s inception through the balance of the lease term.
Operating Leases
The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of September 30, 2014, the leases had remaining terms, excluding options to extend, of up to 12.2 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 5.2 years. Some of the leases have provisions to extend the term of the leases, options for early termination for all or a part of the leased premises after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires a security deposit from the tenant in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. The amount required as a security deposit varies depending upon the terms of the respective lease and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally is not a significant amount. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $4.8 million and $4.7 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants of $6.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the cumulative deferred rent balance was $15.4 million and $7.8 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included $1.2 million and $0.3 million of unamortized lease incentives as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
As of September 30, 2014, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under its non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2014, no other tenant industries accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent and no tenant accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent. No material tenant credit issues have been identified at this time.
Geographic Concentration Risk
As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s net investments in real estate in Illinois, Texas and Utah represented 23%, 21% and 10% of the Company’s total assets, respectively.  As a result, the geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the Illinois, Texas and Utah real estate markets.  Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders.
Recent Disposition
Las Cimas IV
On October 28, 2011, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, acquired a five-story office building containing 138,008 rentable square feet located on 9.7 acres of land in Austin, Texas (“Las Cimas IV”). The purchase price of Las Cimas IV was $35.7 million plus closing costs. On February 19, 2014, the Company sold Las Cimas IV for $43.2 million, resulting in a gain of $10.9 million, which includes reductions to the net book value of the property due to historical depreciation and amortization expense. The purchaser was not affiliated with the Company or the Advisor.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Las Cimas IV had revenues of $0.6 million and total expenses of $0.4 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Las Cimas IV had revenues of $1.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Las Cimas IV had total expenses of $1.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

Recent Financing Transactions
171 17th Street Mortgage Loan
On August 25, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of 171 17th Street, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary (the “171 17th Street Buyer”), entered into a four-year secured mortgage loan with an unaffiliated lender for borrowings of up to $85.5 million (the “Committed Amount”) secured by 171 17th Street (the “171 17th Street Mortgage Loan”). At closing, $79.5 million of the loan was funded and the remaining $6.0 million was available for future disbursements to be used for tenant improvements and leasing commissions, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents. The 171 17th Street Mortgage Loan matures on September 1, 2018, with three one-year extension options, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents. The 171 17th Street Mortgage Loan bears interest at a floating rate of 145 basis points over one-month LIBOR. Monthly payments are initially interest-only.  Beginning October 1, 2017 and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter through the maturity date of the loan, the Committed Amount will be reduced by $69,300 per month. To the extent that, following any such reduction in the Committed Amount, the outstanding principal balance of the loan exceeds the then Committed Amount, the 171 17th Street Buyer will pay to the lender a principal payment in an amount sufficient to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the loan to an amount less than the then reduced Committed Amount. The remaining principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts will be due at maturity. The 171 17th Street Buyer has the right to repay the loan in part and in whole subject to certain conditions and fees as described in the loan documents.
The Company also entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixes the interest rate on $68.4 million of its floating rate debt at 2.86% effective September 2, 2014 through September 1, 2018.
KBS REIT Properties III, LLC (“REIT Properties III”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, is providing a guaranty of 25% or, in certain circumstances as described in the loan documents, 35%, of the principal outstanding under the 171 17th Street Mortgage Loan on the date the loan becomes due and payable in full. REIT Properties III is also providing a guaranty of 100% of any deficiency, loss or damage suffered by the lender under the 171 17th Street Mortgage Loan as a result of certain (i) intentional actions committed by the 171 17th Street Buyer and/or REIT Properties III in violation of the loan documents, or (ii) bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings involving the 171 17th Street Buyer.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company enters into derivative instruments for risk management purposes to hedge its exposure to cash flow variability caused by changing interest rates. The primary goal of the Company’s risk management practices related to interest rate risk is to prevent changes in interest rates from adversely impacting the Company’s ability to achieve its investment return objectives. The Company does not enter into the derivatives for speculative purposes.
The Company enters into interest rate swaps as a fixed rate payer to mitigate its exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. The value of interest rate swaps is primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of the fixed rate payer position and decrease the value of the variable rate payer position. As the remaining life of the interest rate swap decreases, the value of both positions will generally move towards zero. All of the Company’s interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges.
The following table summarizes the notional and fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The notional value is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in each instrument at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks (dollars in thousands):

Asset derivatives are included in deferred financing costs, prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and liability derivatives are included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair value of the effective portion of a derivative instrument that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. The Company recorded unrealized gains (losses) of $2.1 million and $(5.2 million) on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The Company recorded unrealized losses of $2.2 million and $1.8 million on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged cash flows. As a result of utilizing derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges to hedge its variable rate notes payable, the Company reclassified $1.6 million and $4.0 million from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings as a component of interest expense related to the effective portion of cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. As a result of utilizing derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges to hedge its variable rate notes payable, the Company reclassified $0.7 million and $1.0 million from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings as a component of interest expense related to the effective portion of cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion is recognized directly in earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, there was no ineffective portion related to the change in fair value of the cash flow hedges. During the next 12 months, the Company expects to recognize additional interest expense related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges. The present value of the additional interest expense expected to be recognized over the next 12 months totaled $6.4 million as of September 30, 2014 and was included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and for which markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments for which markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of each class of assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents, rent and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities: These balances approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.

Real estate loan receivable: The Company’s real estate loan receivable is presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at its amortized cost net of recorded loan loss reserves and not at fair value. The fair value of the real estate loan receivable was estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected cash flows for the loan, underlying collateral value and estimated yield requirements of institutional investors for loans with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.
Derivative instruments: The Company’s derivative instruments are presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The valuation of these instruments is determined using a proprietary model that utilizes observable inputs. As such, the Company classifies these inputs as Level 2 inputs. The proprietary model uses the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and volatility. The fair values of interest rate swaps are estimated using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit risks to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk.
Notes payable: The fair values of the Company’s notes payable are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. Additionally, when determining the fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.
The following were the face values, carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s real estate loan receivable and notes payable as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, which carrying amounts generally do not approximate the fair values (in thousands):

Disclosure of the fair values of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company as of the period end and requires a significant amount of judgment. Despite increased capital market and credit market activity, transaction volume for certain financial instruments remains relatively low. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of value at a future date could be materially different.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor and the Dealer Manager Agreement with the Dealer Manager. These agreements entitle the Advisor and/or the Dealer Manager to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the Offering and entitle the Advisor to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the investment of funds in real estate investments, the management of those investments, among other services, and the disposition of investments, as well as reimbursement of organization and offering costs incurred by the Advisor and the Dealer Manager on behalf of the Company, such as expenses related to the Offering and dividend reinvestment plan, and certain costs incurred by the Advisor in providing services to the Company. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to certain other fees, including an incentive fee upon achieving certain performance goals, as detailed in the Advisory Agreement. The Company has also entered into a fee reimbursement agreement with the Dealer Manager pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the Dealer Manager for certain fees and expenses it incurs for administering the Company’s participation in the DTCC Alternative Investment Product Platform with respect to certain accounts of the Company’s investors serviced through the platform. The Advisor and Dealer Manager also serve as the advisor and dealer manager, respectively, for KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc. and KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, Inc.
On January 6, 2014, the Company, together with KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc., KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, Inc., the Dealer Manager, the Advisor and other KBS-affiliated entities, entered into an errors and omissions and directors and officers liability insurance program where the lower tiers of such insurance coverage are shared. The cost of these lower tiers is allocated by the Advisor and its insurance broker among each of the various entities covered by the program, and is billed directly to each entity. The allocation of these shared coverage costs is proportionate to the pricing by the insurance marketplace for the first tiers of directors and officers liability coverage purchased individually by each REIT. The Advisor’s and the Dealer Manager’s portion of the shared lower tiers’ cost is proportionate to the respective entities’ prior cost for the errors and omissions insurance.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, no other transactions occurred between the Company and KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc. and KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, Inc.

_____________________
(1) As of September 30, 2014, the Company had accrued and deferred payment of $3.8 million of asset management fees. See “Deferral of Asset Management Fees” below.
(2) The Advisor may seek reimbursement for certain employee costs under the Advisory Agreement. The Company has reimbursed the Advisor for the Company’s allocable portion of the salaries, benefits and overhead of internal audit department personnel providing services to the Company. These amounts totaled $36,000 and $99,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $44,000 and $102,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and were the only employee costs reimbursed under the Advisory Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company will not reimburse for employee costs in connection with services for which the Advisor earns acquisition or origination fees or disposition fees (other than reimbursement of travel and communication expenses) or for the salaries or benefits the Advisor or its affiliates may pay to the Company’s executive officers.
In connection with the Offering, the Company’s sponsors agreed to provide additional indemnification to one of the participating broker dealers.  The Company agreed to add supplemental coverage to its directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage to insure the sponsors’ obligations under this indemnification agreement in exchange for reimbursement by the sponsors to the Company for all costs, expenses and premiums related to this supplemental coverage. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Advisor incurred $88,000 for the costs of the supplemental coverage obtained by the Company.
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor would be obligated to reimburse the Company to the extent organization and offering costs incurred by the Company in each of the Offering and the Follow-on Offering exceed 15% of the gross offering proceeds of the respective offering. As of September 30, 2014, organizational and offering costs in the Offering did not exceed 15% of the gross offering proceeds. From inception through September 30, 2014, the Company had recorded $1.2 million of offering costs related to the Follow-on Offering. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had not commenced the Follow-on Offering and as such, the Company classified $1.2 million of offering costs as deferred financing costs, prepaid expenses and other assets on its consolidated balance sheet.
Deferral of Asset Management Fees
On September 27, 2014, the Company and the Advisor renewed the Advisory Agreement between the parties, which renewal included the incorporation of a March 5, 2014 amendment to the prior advisory agreement. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, with respect to asset management fees accruing from March 1, 2014, the Advisor defers, without interest, the Company’s obligation to pay asset management fees for any month in which the Company’s modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) for such month, as such term is defined in the practice guideline issued by the Investment Program Association (“IPA”) in November 2010 and interpreted by the Company, excluding asset management fees, does not exceed the amount of distributions declared by the Company for record dates of that month. The Company remains obligated to pay the Advisor an asset management fee in any month in which the Company's MFFO, excluding asset management fees, for such month exceeds the amount of distributions declared for the record dates of that month (such excess amount, an “MFFO Surplus”); however, any amount of such asset management fee in excess of the MFFO Surplus will also be deferred under the Advisory Agreement. If the MFFO Surplus for any month exceeds the amount of the asset management fee payable for such month, any remaining MFFO Surplus will be applied to pay any asset management fee amounts previously deferred in accordance with the Advisory Agreement.

However, notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all deferred asset management fees that are unpaid will become immediately due and payable at such time as the Company's stockholders have received, together as a collective group, aggregate distributions (including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) sufficient to provide (i) an 8.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such net invested capital (the “Stockholders’ 8% Return”) and (ii) a return of their net invested capital, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by any amounts to repurchase shares pursuant to the Company's share redemption program. The Stockholders’ 8% Return is not based on the return provided to any individual stockholder. Accordingly, it is not necessary for each of the Company's stockholders to have received any minimum return in order for the Advisor to receive deferred asset management fees.
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had accrued and deferred payment of $3.8 million of asset management fees under the Advisory Agreement, as the Company believes the payment of this amount to the Advisor is probable. These fees will be reimbursed in accordance with the terms noted above.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Economic Dependency
The Company is dependent on the Advisor and the Dealer Manager for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the sale of the Company’s shares of common and, if applicable, preferred stock available for issue; the identification, evaluation, negotiation, origination, acquisition and disposition of investments; management of the daily operations of the Company’s investment portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that the Advisor and the Dealer Manager are unable to provide the respective services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.

Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company may be party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and possible range of loss. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing environmental laws is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of September 30, 2014.
13.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Status of the Offering
The Company commenced the Offering on October 26, 2010. As of November 7, 2014, the Company had sold 109,822,860 shares of common stock in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.1 billion, including 4,630,057 shares of common stock sold under its dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $44.6 million. Also as of November 7, 2014, the Company had redeemed 679,270 of the shares sold in the Offering for $6.5 million.
Issuance of Common Stock
On October 3, 2014, the Company issued 129,231 shares of common stock for $9.40 per share (or an aggregate purchase price of $1.2 million) to Jonathan Bren and 129,231 shares of common stock for $9.40 per share (or an aggregate purchase price of $1.2 million) to Christopher Bren. The shares were issued in private transactions exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Jonathan Bren and Christopher Bren are the sons of Peter Bren, the Company’s President and one of the Company’s sponsors. The Company did not pay selling commissions or dealer manager fees with respect to these sales. The purchase price reflects a $0.987 discount to the $10.39 per share offering price in the Offering, reflecting that no selling commissions or dealer manager fees were paid on the sale.
Distributions Paid
On October 1, 2014, the Company paid distributions of $5.2 million, which related to distributions declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from September 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014. On November 3, 2014, the Company paid distributions of $5.7 million, which related to distributions declared for daily record dates for each day in the period from October 1, 2014 through October 31, 2014.
Distributions Declared
On October 14, 2014, the Company’s board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period from November 1, 2014 through November 30, 2014, which the Company expects to pay in December 2014. On November 10, 2014, the Company’s board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period from December 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, which the Company expects to pay in January 2015, and distributions based on daily record dates for the period from January 1, 2015 through January 31, 2015, which the Company expects to pay in February 2015.  Investors may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan.
Distributions for these periods will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day during these periods at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day and equal a daily amount that, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 6.5% annualized rate based on the prior primary public offering purchase price of $10.00 per share or a 6.26% annualized rate based on the current primary offering purchase price of $10.39 per share.
