1.
ORGANIZATION
KBS Growth & Income REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on January 12, 2015 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through KBS Growth & Income Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on January 14, 2015. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owns a 0.1% partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership. KBS Growth & Income REIT Holdings LLC (“REIT Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on January 14, 2015, owns the remaining 99.9% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and is the sole limited partner. The Company is the sole member and manager of REIT Holdings.
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 between the Company and the Advisor initially entered into on June 11, 2015, and amended at various times thereafter (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisor conducts the Company’s operations and manages its portfolio of core real estate properties. On January 27, 2015, the Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock to the Advisor at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. On June 11, 2015, these outstanding shares of common stock were designated Class A shares of common stock.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had invested in four office properties and had made an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. The Company intends to invest in a diverse portfolio of core real estate properties. The Company considers core properties to be existing properties with at least 80% occupancy. Based on the current market outlook, the Company expects its core focus in the U.S. office sector to reflect a value-creating core strategy, which is also known as a core-plus strategy.
The Company commenced a private placement offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on June 11, 2015, pursuant to which the Company offered a maximum of $105,000,000 in shares of its Class A common stock for sale to accredited investors (the “Initial Private Offering”), of which $5,000,000 of Class A shares were offered pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. The Company ceased offering shares in the primary portion of the Initial Private Offering on April 27, 2016 and processed subscriptions for the primary Initial Private Offering dated on or prior to April 27, 2016 through May 30, 2016. KBS Capital Markets Group LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Advisor, served as the dealer manager of the Initial Private Offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement dated June 11, 2015 (the “Initial Private Offering Dealer Manager Agreement”).
On February 4, 2015, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register an initial public offering of its common stock to offer a maximum of $1,500,000,000 in shares of common stock for sale to the public in a primary offering, consisting of two classes of shares: Class A and Class T (the “Primary Offering”) and a maximum of $800,000,000 in both classes of shares of its common stock pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP Offering” and, together with the Primary Offering, the “Public Offering”). The SEC declared the Company’s registration statement effective on April 28, 2016 and the Company retained the Dealer Manager to serve as the dealer manager of the Public Offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement dated April 28, 2016 (the “Public Offering Dealer Manager Agreement”). The Company terminated the Primary Offering effective June 30, 2017.
The Company continues to offer shares of common stock pursuant to the DRP Offering. In some states, the Company will need to renew the registration statement annually to continue the DRP Offering. The Company may terminate the DRP Offering at any time.
On October 3, 2017, the Company launched a private placement offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of the Securities Act pursuant to which the Company is currently offering a maximum of $1,000,000,000 in shares of its Class A common stock to accredited investors (the “Second Private Offering”). Prior to the launch of the Second Private Offering, on September 29, 2017, the Company entered into a dealer manager agreement (the “NCPS Dealer Agreement”) with the Advisor and North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“NCPS”) in connection with the Second Private Offering.

The Company sold 122,721 and 270,415 shares of Class A and Class T common stock, respectively, in the Primary Offering for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $3.9 million. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had sold 734,321 and 29,462 shares of Class A and Class T common stock, respectively, in the DRP Offering for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $7.1 million.

As described above, the Company intends to use substantially all of the net proceeds from its offerings to invest in a diverse portfolio of core real estate properties.

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, 2018, except for the Company’s adoption of the lease accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) effective on January 1, 2019 and the addition of an accounting policy related to investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. 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, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, REIT Holdings, 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 the accompanying 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.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for investments in unconsolidated joint ventures over which the Company may exercise significant influence, but does not control, using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted to reflect additional contributions or distributions and the Company’s proportionate share of equity in the joint venture’s income (loss). The Company recognizes its proportionate share of the ongoing income or loss of the unconsolidated joint venture as equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated joint venture on the consolidated statements of operations. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its investment in an unconsolidated joint venture for other-than-temporary impairments. As of June 30, 2019, the Company did not identify any indicators of impairment related to its unconsolidated real estate joint venture accounted for under the equity method.
Segments
The Company had invested in four office properties as of June 30, 2019 and had made an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue and net loss is from real estate, and therefore, the Company currently operates in one reportable segment.
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 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. For the purpose of determining the weighted average number of shares outstanding, stock dividends issued during the period presented are adjusted retroactively and treated as if they were issued and outstanding for all periods presented. 
During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, aggregate cash distributions declared per share of Class A and Class T common stock were $0.13825213 and $0.12787633, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, aggregate cash distributions declared per share of Class A and Class T common stock were $0.27436183 and $0.24708313, respectively, assuming the share was issued and outstanding each date that was a record date for distributions during the period. Class A and Class T common stock distributions for the period from January 1, 2018 through April 30, 2018 and from May 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018 were each calculated at a rate of $0.00132452 per share per day and $0.00144493 per share per day, respectively. Class A and Class T common stock distributions for the period from January 1, 2019 through May 31, 2019 were calculated at a rate of $0.00151233 per share per day. Distributions declared per common share of Class A and Class T common stock were $0.046 per share for the month ended June 30, 2019. Distributions declared per common share assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day that was a record date for distributions.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260-10-45, Earnings Per Share, the Company uses the two-class method to calculate earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on dividends declared (“distributed earnings”) and the rights of common shares and participating securities in any undistributed earnings, which represents net income remaining after deduction of dividends declared during the period. The undistributed earnings are allocated to all outstanding common shares based on the relative percentage of each class of shares to the total number of outstanding shares. The Company does not have any participating securities outstanding other than Class A Common Stock and Class T Common Stock during the periods presented.

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. Upon adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 (described below), the Company accounted for tenant reimbursements for property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance as variable lease payments and recorded these amounts as rental income on the statement of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company reclassified $0.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of tenant reimbursement revenue for property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance to rental income for comparability purposes.
Revenue Recognition - Operating Leases
Real Estate
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the lease accounting standards under Topic 842 including the package of practical expedients for all leases that commenced before the effective date of January 1, 2019. Accordingly, the Company (i) did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing lease, and (iii) did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company did not elect the practical expedient related to using hindsight to reevaluate the lease term. In addition, the Company adopted the practical expedient for land easements and did not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840 are or contain a lease under Topic 842.

In addition, Topic 842 provides an optional transition method to allow entities to apply the new lease accounting standards at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company adopted this transition method upon its adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842, which did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2019. The Company’s comparative periods presented in the financial statements will continue to be reported under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840.
In accordance with Topic 842, tenant reimbursements for property taxes and insurance are included in the single lease component of the lease contract (the right of the lessee to use the leased space) and therefore are accounted for as variable lease payments and are recorded as rental income on the Company’s statement of operations beginning January 1, 2019. In addition, the Company adopted the practical expedient available under Topic 842 to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and instead to account for those components as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue recognition standard (Topic 606) and if certain conditions are met, specifically related to tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance which would otherwise be accounted for under the revenue recognition standard. The Company believes the two conditions have been met for tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance as (i) the timing and pattern of transfer of the nonlease components and associated lease components are the same and (ii) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease. Accordingly, tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance are also accounted for as variable lease payments and recorded as rental income on the Company’s statement of operations beginning January 1, 2019.
The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectibility is probable and records amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
whether the lessee or lessor supervises the construction and bears the risk of cost overruns;
whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in nature; and
whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.
In accordance with Topic 842, the Company makes a determination of whether the collectibility of the lease payments in an operating lease is probable. If the Company determines the lease payments are not probable of collection, the Company would fully reserve for any contractual lease payments, deferred rent receivable, and tenant reimbursements and would recognize rental income only if cash is received. Beginning January 1, 2019, these changes to the Company’s collectibility assessment are reflected as an adjustment to rental income. Prior to January 1, 2019, bad debt expense related to uncollectible accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable was included in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations. Any subsequent changes to the collectibility of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2018, which was recorded prior to the adoption of Topic 842, are recorded in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations.

Beginning January 1, 2019, the Company, as a lessor, records costs to negotiate or arrange a lease that would have been incurred regardless of whether the lease was obtained, such as legal costs incurred to negotiate an operating lease, as an expense and classifies such costs as operating, maintenance, and management expense on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, as these costs are no longer capitalizable under the definition of initial direct costs under Topic 842.
Square Footage, Occupancy and Other Measures
Square footage, occupancy, number of tenants and other measures, including annualized base rent and annualized base rent per square foot, or amounts derived from such measures, used to describe real estate investments included in these condensed notes to consolidated financial statements are presented on an unaudited basis and outside the scope of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s review of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments (“ASU No. 2016-13”).  ASU No. 2016-13 affects entities holding financial assets and net investments in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income.  The amendments in ASU No. 2016-13 require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected.  The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset.  ASU No. 2016-13 also amends the impairment model for available-for-sale securities.  An entity will recognize an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities as a contra-account to the amortized cost basis rather than as a direct reduction of the amortized cost basis of the investment, as is currently required.  ASU No. 2016-13 also requires new disclosures.  For financial assets measured at amortized cost, an entity will be required to disclose information about how it developed its allowance for credit losses, including changes in the factors that influenced management’s estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes.  For financing receivables and net investments in leases measured at amortized cost, an entity will be required to further disaggregate the information it currently discloses about the credit quality of these assets by year of the asset’s origination for as many as five annual periods. For available-for-sale securities, an entity will be required to provide a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses and an aging analysis for securities that are past due.  ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-13 on its financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework -Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU No. 2018-13”).  The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.  ASU No. 2018-13 removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also adds a requirement to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, entities may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop the Level 3 fair value measurements.  In addition, public entities are required to provide information about the measurement uncertainty of recurring Level 3 fair value measurements from the use of significant unobservable inputs if those inputs reasonably could have been different at the reporting date. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Entities are permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the requirements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2018-13 on its financial statements, but does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2018-13 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Operating Leases
The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of June 30, 2019, the leases had remaining terms, excluding options to extend, of up to 10.1 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 3.8 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, 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 $1.1 million and $1.1 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants, net of lease incentive amortization, of $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the cumulative deferred rent balance was $3.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included $0.2 million and $0.2 million of unamortized lease incentives as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
As of June 30, 2019, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under its non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a concentration of credit risk related to AECOM, one of the tenants in The Offices at Greenhouse in the engineering industry, which represented 19% of the Company’s annualized base rent. The tenant individually occupied 140,922 rentable square feet or approximately 22% of the total rentable square feet of the Company’s real estate portfolio. Of the 140,922 rentable square feet, 5,195 rentable square feet expires on July 24, 2019 and 135,727 rentable square feet expires on December 31, 2024, with two five-year extension options. As of June 30, 2019, the annualized base rent for this tenant was approximately $3.0 million or $21.39 per square foot. No other tenant represented more than 10% of the Company’s annualized base rent.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s real estate properties were leased to 72 tenants over a diverse range of industries. The Company’s highest tenant industry concentration (greater than 10% of annualized base rent) was as follows:

As of June 30, 2019, no other tenant industries accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent. No material tenant credit issues have been identified at this time. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded an adjustment to rental income of $0.5 million for lease payments that were deemed not probable of collection. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded bad debt recovery of $27,000 and bad debt expense of $90,000, respectively, which was included in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE
On June 28, 2019, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, and FGPH 210 W. Chicago LLC (the “JV Partner”), entered into a limited liability company agreement to form a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”). Prior to entering into the Joint Venture, an affiliate of the JV Partner entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire an office property containing 16,239 rentable square feet located on approximately 8,072 square feet of land in Chicago, Illinois (“210 W. Chicago”), and such affiliate of the JV Partner assigned the purchase and sale agreement to the Joint Venture and the Joint Venture acquired 210 W. Chicago on June 28, 2019.
The Company and the JV Partner each own a 50% equity interest in the Joint Venture, with the Company serving as the manager of the Joint Venture. Major decisions, as defined in the limited liability company agreement, require an affirmative unanimous written consent. Income, losses and distributions are generally allocated based on the members’ respective equity interests. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for its investment in the Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting.
The contractual purchase price of 210 W. Chicago was $5.4 million plus closing costs. The Joint Venture funded the purchase of 210 W. Chicago with a $3.8 million mortgage loan from an unaffiliated lender and with contributions from the Joint Venture members. As of June 30, 2019, the book value of the Company’s investment in 210 W. Chicago was $0.9 million which includes $0.1 million in acquisition costs incurred directly by the Company.

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 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.
The following table summarizes the notional amount and other information related to the Company’s interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The notional amount 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):

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 non-financial and financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of long-lived assets). Fair value, as defined under GAAP, is 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 financial instrument 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.
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 value of the Company’s notes payable is 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 liabilities 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 notes payable as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which carrying amounts generally do not approximate the fair values (in thousands):

(1) The asset management fee is a monthly fee payable to the Advisor in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of the cost of the Company’s investments including the portion of the investment that is debt financed. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had accrued and deferred payment of $3.2 million of asset management fees related to October 2017 through June 2019.
(2) See “Reimbursable Operating Expenses” below.
(3) See “Real Estate Property Co-Management Agreements” below.
(4) See “Advance from the Advisor” below.
Reimbursable Operating Expenses
Reimbursable operating expenses primarily related to directors and officers liability insurance, legal fees, state and local taxes, accounting software and cybersecurity related expenses incurred by the Advisor 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 $40,971 and $90,378 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively and $50,213 and $103,212 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and were the only type of employee costs reimbursed under the Advisory Agreement. The Company does not reimburse for employee costs in connection with services for which the Advisor earned or earns acquisition, origination 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 addition to the amounts above, the Company reimburses the Advisor for certain of the Company’s direct costs incurred from third parties that were initially paid by the Advisor on behalf of the Company.
Effective September 29, 2017, the Company eliminated its obligation to reimburse expenses incurred by the Advisor in connection with providing services pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, other than (i) the allocable portion of the costs of the internal audit department and (ii) promotional costs and expenses related to the leasing of properties.
The Advisor must reimburse the Company the amount by which the Company’s aggregate total operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters then ended exceed the greater of 2% of the Company’s average invested assets or 25% of the Company’s net income, 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 June 30, 2019 did not exceed the charter-imposed limitation.

Advance from the Advisor
The Advisor advanced funds to the Company, which are non-interest bearing, for distribution record dates through the period ended May 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2019, the total advanced funds due to the Advisor from the Company was approximately $1.3 million. The Company is only obligated to repay the Advisor for its advance if and to the extent that:
(i)
the Company’s modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), as such term is defined by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives and interpreted by the Company, for the immediately preceding month exceeds the amount of cash distributions declared for record dates of such prior month (an “MFFO Surplus”), and the Company will pay the Advisor the amount of the MFFO Surplus to reduce the principal amount outstanding under the advance, provided that such payments shall only be made if management in its sole discretion expects an MFFO Surplus to be recurring for at least the next two calendar quarters, determined on a quarterly basis; or
(ii)
Excess proceeds from third-party financings are available (“Excess Proceeds”), provided that the amount of any such Excess Proceeds that may be used to repay the principal amount outstanding under the advance shall be determined by the conflicts committee in its sole discretion.
In determining whether Excess Proceeds are available to repay the advance, the Company’s conflicts committee will consider whether cash on hand could have been used to reduce the amount of third-party financing provided to us. If such cash could have been used instead of third-party financing, the third-party financing proceeds will be available to repay the advance.
Real Estate Property Co-Management Agreements
In connection with its property acquisitions, the Company, through separate, indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into separate property management agreements (each, a “Property Management Agreement”) with the Co-Manager for each of its properties. Under each Property Management Agreement, the Co-Manager will provide certain management services related to these properties in addition to those provided by the third-party property managers. In exchange for these services, the Company will pay the Co-Manager a monthly fee equal to a percentage of the rent, payable and actually collected for the month from each of the properties. Each Property Management Agreement has an initial term of one year and will be deemed renewed for successive one-year periods provided it is not terminated. Each party may terminate the Property Management Agreement without cause on 30 days’ written notice to the other party and may terminate each Property Management Agreement for cause on 5 days’ written notice to the other party upon the occurrence of certain events as detailed in each Property Management Agreement.

The Company reimbursed the Advisor, the Dealer Manager and its affiliates up to 1% of gross proceeds raised in the Primary Offering for commercially reasonable organization and offering expenses (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees). The Advisor, the Dealer Manager and their affiliates were responsible for all organization and other offering expenses (which excludes selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) paid related to the Primary Offering to the extent they exceeded 1% of gross proceeds raised in the Primary Offering. The Company did not reimburse the Dealer Manager for wholesaling compensation expenses.
During the Initial Private Offering, the Company was obligated to reimburse the Advisor and its affiliates for all organization and offering costs (excluding wholesaling compensation expenses) paid by them on behalf of the Company.
The Advisor has agreed to pay directly all offering expenses related to the Second Private Offering without reimbursement by the Company.
Through June 30, 2019, the Advisor and its affiliates had incurred organization and other offering costs (which exclude selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) on the Company’s behalf in connection with the Public Offering of approximately $4.4 million. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had recorded $39,000 of organization and other offering expenses related to the Public Offering, which amount represents the Company’s maximum liability for organization and other offering costs as of June 30, 2019 based on the limitations described above. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had recorded $1.5 million of organization and other offering costs related to the Initial Private Offering. Organization costs were expensed as incurred and offering costs are deferred and charged to stockholders’ equity as such amounts were reimbursed to the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates from the gross proceeds of the applicable offering.
As of June 30, 2019, the Advisor had incurred $5.0 million in offering expenses related to the Second Private Offering.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Economic Dependency
The Company depends on the Advisor for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, 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 is unable to provide such services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company may become 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. Although there can be no assurance, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s property, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the property could result in future environmental liabilities.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of KBS Growth & Income REIT, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to KBS Growth & Income REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, KBS Growth & Income Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “Operating Partnership,” and to their subsidiaries.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of KBS Growth & Income REIT, Inc. and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
We depend on our advisor and its affiliates to conduct our operations. We pay fees to our advisor and its affiliates in connection with the management of our investments that are based on the cost of the investment, not on the quality of the investment or services rendered to us. These fees decrease the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
We commenced investment operations on August 12, 2015 in connection with the acquisition of an office property and we have a limited operating history. As of June 30, 2019, we owned four office buildings and had made an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. We have not acquired or identified any additional real estate investments that it is reasonably probable we will acquire with the proceeds from our offering stage. As such, our stockholders will not have an opportunity to evaluate investments before we make them.
All of our executive officers, our affiliated directors and other key real estate and debt finance professionals are also officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, and/or other KBS‑affiliated entities. As a result, our executive officers, our affiliated directors, some of our key real estate and debt finance professionals, our advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our advisor’s and its affiliates’ compensation arrangements with us and other KBS‑sponsored programs and KBS‑advised investors and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors. Although we have adopted corporate governance measures to ameliorate some of the risks posed by these conflicts, these conflicts could result in action or inaction that is not in the best interests of our stockholders.
Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other KBS‑sponsored programs or KBS‑advised investors, our advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties. Any such conflicts in directing investment opportunities may not be resolved in our favor.
If we are unable to raise substantial funds in our offering stage, we may not be able to acquire a diverse portfolio of real estate investments, which may cause the value of an investment in us to vary more widely with the performance of specific assets and cause our general and administrative expenses to constitute a greater percentage of our revenue. Raising fewer proceeds in our offering stage, therefore, could increase the risk that our stockholders will lose money in their investment.
We may fund distributions from any source, including, without limitation, offering proceeds or borrowings. Distributions paid through June 30, 2019 have been funded in part with debt financing, including advances from our advisor, and cash resulting from a waiver of asset management fees by our advisor. Distributions funded from sources other than our cash flow from operations will result in dilution to subsequent investors, reduce funds available for investment in assets and may reduce the overall return to our stockholders.
Our advisor waived its asset management fee for the second and third quarters of 2017 and deferred its asset management fee from October 2017 through June 2019. If our advisor determines to no longer waive or defer certain fees owed to them, our ability to fund our operations and to fund our distributions may be adversely affected.

25

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Our policies do not limit us from incurring debt until our aggregate borrowings would exceed 75% of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non‑cash reserves) of our tangible assets, and we may exceed this limit with the approval of the conflicts committee of our board of directors. High debt levels could limit the amount of cash we have available to distribute and could result in a decline in the value of our stockholders’ investment.
We have debt obligations with variable interest rates and may incur additional variable rate debt in the future. The interest and related payments will vary with the movement of LIBOR or other indexes. Increases in the indexes could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
If we are unable to locate investments with attractive yields while we are investing the proceeds raised in our offering stage, our distributions and the long‑term returns of our investors may be lower.
We depend on tenants for the revenue generated by any real estate investments we make and, accordingly, the revenue generated by our real estate investments is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from any properties we acquire could decrease due to a reduction in occupancy and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to meet any debt service obligations we have incurred and limiting our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
Any real estate investments we make may be affected by unfavorable real estate market and general economic conditions, which could decrease the value of those assets and reduce the investment return to our stockholders. These events could make it more difficult for us to meet debt service obligations and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
We cannot predict with any certainty how much, if any, of our distribution reinvestment plan proceeds will be available for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to: the repurchase of shares under our share redemption program; capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs and leasing costs related to any real estate properties we acquire; reserves required by any financings of real estate investments; the acquisition of real estate investments; and the repayment of debt. If such funds are not available from our distribution reinvestment plan offering, then we may have to use a greater proportion of our cash flow from operations to meet these cash requirements, which would reduce cash available for distributions and could limit our ability to redeem shares under our share redemption program.
Our share redemption program only provides for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program, and collectively “special redemptions”). The dollar amounts available for such redemptions are determined by the board of directors and may be adjusted from time to time. The dollar amount limitation for such redemptions for the calendar year 2019 is $1.0 million in the aggregate, of which $21,000 was used for such special redemptions from January through July 2019. Our share redemption program does not provide for ordinary redemptions and can provide no assurances, when, if ever, we will provide for redemptions other than special redemptions.
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified herein and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, all filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Overview
We were formed on January 12, 2015 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015 and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner. Substantially all of our business is conducted through our Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is externally managed by our advisor pursuant to an advisory agreement. KBS Capital Advisors manages our operations and our portfolio of core real estate properties. KBS Capital Advisors also provides asset-management, marketing, investor-relations and other administrative services on our behalf. Our advisor acquired 20,000 shares of our Class A common stock for an initial investment of $200,000. We have no paid employees.
We commenced a private placement offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on June 11, 2015, pursuant to which we offered a maximum of $105,000,000 of shares of our Class A common stock for sale to accredited investors, of which $5,000,000 of Class A shares were offered pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We ceased offering shares in the primary portion of our private offering on April 27, 2016 and processed subscriptions for the primary portion of the private offering dated on or prior to April 27, 2016 through May 30, 2016. KBS Capital Markets Group LLC, an affiliate of our advisor, served as the dealer manager of the offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement.

26

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

We sold 8,548,972 shares of our Class A common stock for gross offering proceeds of $76.8 million in our initial private offering, including 74,744 shares of our Class A common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $0.7 million.
On February 4, 2015, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to register an initial public offering to offer a maximum of $1,500,000,000 in shares of common stock for sale to the public in the primary offering, consisting of two classes of shares: Class A and Class T and a maximum of $800,000,000 in both classes of shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. The SEC declared our registration statement effective on April 28, 2016 and we retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC to serve as the dealer manager of the initial public offering. We terminated our primary initial public offering effective June 30, 2017. We are continuing to offer shares of common stock pursuant to our publicly registered distribution reinvestment plan offering.
We sold 122,721 and 270,415 shares of Class A and Class T common stock in the initial primary public offering, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $3.9 million. As of June 30, 2019, we had sold 734,321 and 29,462 shares of Class A and Class T common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan, respectively, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $7.1 million.
On October 3, 2017, we launched a second private placement offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of the Securities Act pursuant to which we are currently offering a maximum of $1,000,000,000 in shares of our Class A common stock to accredited investors. Prior to the launch of the second private placement offering, on September 29, 2017, we entered a dealer manager agreement (the “NCPS Dealer Agreement”) with KBS Capital Advisors and North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“NCPS”) in connection with the second private placement offering. As of June 30, 2019, we sold 581,022 shares of Class A common stock in the second private offering for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $5.2 million.
As of June 30, 2019, we had redeemed 422,286 and 2,245 Class A and Class T shares, respectively, for $3.5 million.
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our offerings to invest in a diverse portfolio of core real estate properties. We consider core properties to be existing properties with at least 80% occupancy. Based on the current market outlook, we expect our core focus in the U.S. office sector to reflect a value-creating core strategy, which is also known as a core-plus strategy. As of June 30, 2019, we owned four office buildings and had made an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.
KBS Capital Advisors makes recommendations on all investments to our board of directors. All proposed real estate 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 real estate 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.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015. If we meet the REIT qualification requirements, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on the income that we distribute to our stockholders each year. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any year after electing REIT status, our income will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following our failure to qualify. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and cash available for distribution to our stockholders. However, we are organized and will operate in a manner that will enable us to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015, and we will continue to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes thereafter.
Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets
Volatility in global financial markets and changing political environments can cause fluctuations in the performance of the U.S. commercial real estate markets.  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 from investment properties. To the extent there are increases in the cost of financing due to higher interest rates, this may cause difficulty in refinancing debt obligations at terms as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness.  Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments. Management continuously reviews our investment and debt financing strategies to optimize our portfolio and the cost of our debt exposure.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are dependent upon the net proceeds from our offering stage to conduct our operations. We will obtain the capital required to make real estate investments and conduct our operations from the proceeds of our offering stage, from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from our operations. As of June 30, 2019, we had raised approximately $92.3 million in gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in our initial private offering, second private offering and initial public offering. We terminated our primary initial public offering effective June 30, 2017 and launched a private offering solely to accredited investors pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of the Securities Act on October 3, 2017. We continue to offer shares of common stock under our publicly registered distribution reinvestment plan.
If we are unable to raise substantial funds during our offering stage, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate more significantly with the performance of the specific assets 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 substantial funds during our offering stage. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and cash flow and limiting our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. We expect to establish a modest working capital reserve from our offering proceeds for maintenance and repairs of real properties, as we expect the vast majority of leases for the properties we acquire will provide for tenant reimbursement of operating expenses. However, to the extent that we have insufficient funds for such purposes, we may establish additional reserves from gross offering proceeds, out of cash flow from operations or net cash proceeds from the sale of properties.
As of June 30, 2019, we owned four office properties that were 92% occupied and had made an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. We acquired these investments with the proceeds from the sale of our common stock in the private offering and debt financing, including a bridge loan from our advisor that we have since repaid. Operating cash needs during the six months ended June 30, 2019 were met through cash flow generated by our real estate investments and with proceeds from our offerings.
Our investments in real estate 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 real estate investments will be 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.
Our advisor advanced funds to us, which are non-interest bearing, for distribution record dates through the period ended May 31, 2016. We are only obligated to repay our advisor for its advance if and to the extent that:
(i)
Our modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), as such term is defined by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives and interpreted by us, for the immediately preceding month exceeds the amount of distributions declared for record dates of such prior month (an “MFFO Surplus”), and we will pay our advisor the amount of the MFFO Surplus to reduce the principal amount outstanding under the advance, provided that such payments shall only be made if management in its sole discretion expects an MFFO Surplus to be recurring for at least the next two calendar quarters, determined on a quarterly basis; or
(ii)
Excess proceeds from third-party financings are available (“Excess Proceeds”), provided that the amount of any such Excess Proceeds that may be used to repay the principal amount outstanding under the advance shall be determined by the conflicts committee in its sole discretion.
In determining whether Excess Proceeds are available to repay the advance, our conflicts committee will consider whether cash on hand could have been used to reduce the amount of third-party financing provided to us. If such cash could have been used instead of third-party financing, the third-party financing proceeds will be available to repay the advance.
We expect that once we have fully invested the proceeds raised during our offering stage, our debt financing and other liabilities will be between 45% and 65% of the cost of our tangible assets (before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves). Though this is our target leverage, our charter does not limit us from incurring debt until our aggregate borrowings would exceed 300% of our net assets (before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves), which is effectively 75% of the cost of our tangible assets (before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves), though we may exceed this limit under certain circumstances. To the extent financing in excess of this limit is available at attractive terms, the conflicts committee may approve debt in excess of this limit. As of June 30, 2019, our aggregate borrowings were approximately 65% of our net assets before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves.

28

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we have used a portion of our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor, the affiliated dealer manager of our initial private offering and initial public offering and our affiliated property manager. These payments include payments to our dealer manager for selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and the stockholder servicing fee, and payments to the dealer manager and our advisor for reimbursement of certain organization and other offering expenses. See “—Organization and Offering Costs” below.
We make payments to our advisor in connection with the management of our assets and costs incurred by our advisor in providing certain services to us. Through August 8, 2017, the asset management fee payable to our advisor was a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.6% of the cost of our investments, less any debt secured by or attributable to our investments. As of August 9, 2017, the asset management fee is a monthly fee payable to our advisor in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of the cost of our investments including the portion of the investment that is debt financed. The cost of our real property investments is calculated as the amount paid or allocated to acquire the real property, plus budgeted capital improvement costs for the development, construction or improvements to the property once such funds are disbursed pursuant to a final approved budget and fees and expenses related to the acquisition, but excluding acquisition fees paid or payable to our advisor. In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee is determined based on our proportionate share of the underlying investment. Our advisor waived asset management fees for the second and third quarters of 2017 and deferred payment of asset management fees related to the periods from October 2017 through June 2019. Our advisor’s waiver and deferral of its asset management fees resulted in additional cash being available to fund our operations. If our advisor chooses to no longer waive or defer such fees, our ability to fund our operations and our distributions at the current rate may be adversely affected.
We also pay fees to KBS Management Group, LLC (the “Co-Manager”), an affiliate of our advisor, pursuant to property management agreements with the Co-Manager, for certain property management services at our properties.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT and to operate as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be required to make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. Provided we have sufficient available cash flow, we intend to authorize and declare cash distributions based on daily record dates and pay cash distributions on a monthly basis. We have not established a minimum distribution level.
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 June 30, 2019 did not exceed the charter-imposed limitation.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
As of June 30, 2019, we owned four office properties and an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. Net cash provided by operating activities was lower during the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily as a result of timing of payments of operating expenses. We expect that our cash flows from operating activities will increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate and the related operations of such investments.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and consisted of the following:
$2.0 million of cash used for improvements to real estate; and
$0.9 million of cash used for the acquisition of a real estate property through a joint venture with an unaffiliated entity.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.1 million and consisted primarily of the following:
$2.2 million of net cash provided by offering proceeds related to our second private offering;
$1.8 million of net cash distributions, after giving effect to distributions reinvested by stockholders of $0.9 million; and
$0.7 million of net cash provided by debt financing as a result of proceeds from notes payable.

Rental income decreased from $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of decrease in occupancy from 97% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to 92% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and a $0.5 million adjustment to rental income recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2019 for lease payments due from one tenant that were deemed not probable of collection. We expect rental income to increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments and increase the occupancy at our existing properties.
Operating, maintenance, and management costs decreased slightly from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to lower legal fees. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $0.1 million of costs related to legal fees incurred in connection with a water intrusion damage claim at Von Karman Tech Center. Settlement regarding this matter was reached in September 2018. Included in operating, maintenance, and management costs for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $30,000 in legal costs incurred to negotiate an operating lease. Upon adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842, beginning January 1, 2019, as a lessor, we recorded legal costs incurred to negotiate an operating lease as an expense, as these costs are no longer capitalizable under the definition of initial direct costs under Topic 842.  Prior to January 1, 2019, these legal costs were capitalized and included in real estate, cost.  We expect operating, maintenance, and management costs to increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments in addition to general increases due to inflation.
Asset management fees to affiliate remained consistent at $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Asset management fees beginning October 2017 through June 2019 were accrued but payment was deferred by our advisor. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments. As of June 30, 2019, we had accrued and deferred payment of $3.2 million of asset management fees related to October 2017 through June 2019.
Depreciation and amortization decreased from $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of a decrease in amortization of tenant origination costs related to tenant lease expirations after July 1, 2018. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments.
Interest expense increased from $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $1.1 million of unrealized loss on interest rate swaps and $0.4 million of unrealized gain on interest rate swaps during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to changes in fair values with respect to our interest rate swaps that are not accounted for as cash flow hedges. In general, we expect interest expense to increase in the future as a result of anticipated borrowings in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments. Our interest expense in future periods will also vary based on fluctuations in one-month LIBOR (for our unhedged variable rate debt) and our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of debt financing, draws on our debts and any debt repayments we make.

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

Rental income decreased from $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of decrease in occupancy from 97% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to 92% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and a $0.5 million adjustment to rental income recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2019 for lease payments due from one tenant that were deemed not probable of collection. We expect rental income to increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments and increase the occupancy at our existing properties.
Operating, maintenance, and management costs increased slightly from $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to an increase in utility costs and repair and maintenance costs, partially offset by a decrease in legal fees incurred in connection with a water intrusion damage claim at Von Karman Tech Center during the six months ended June 30, 2018. Settlement regarding this matter was reached in September 2018. Included in operating, maintenance, and management costs for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $55,000 in legal costs incurred to negotiate an operating lease. Upon adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842, beginning January 1, 2019, as a lessor, we recorded legal costs incurred to negotiate an operating lease as an expense, as these costs are no longer capitalizable under the definition of initial direct costs under Topic 842.  Prior to January 1, 2019, these legal costs were capitalized and included in real estate, cost.  We expect operating, maintenance, and management costs to increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments in addition to general increases due to inflation.
Asset management fees to affiliate remained consistent at $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Asset management fees beginning October 2017 through June 2019 were accrued but payment was deferred by our advisor. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments. As of June 30, 2019, we had accrued and deferred payment of $3.2 million of asset management fees related to October 2017 through June 2019.
Depreciation and amortization decreased from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of a decrease in amortization of tenant origination costs related to tenant lease expirations after July 1, 2018. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments.
Interest expense increased from $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Also included in interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $0.2 million of debt refinancing costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $1.7 million of unrealized loss on interest rate swaps and $0.8 million of unrealized gain on interest rate swaps during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to changes in fair values with respect to our interest rate swaps that are not accounted for as cash flow hedges. In general, we expect interest expense to increase in the future as a result of anticipated borrowings in future periods to the extent we make additional acquisitions of real estate investments. Our interest expense in future periods will also vary based on fluctuations in one-month LIBOR (for our unhedged variable rate debt) and our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of debt financing, draws on our debts and any debt repayments we make.
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
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.

32

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

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. As a result, our management also uses MFFO as an indicator of our ongoing performance as well as our dividend sustainability. MFFO excludes from FFO: acquisition fees and expenses (to the extent that such fees and expenses have been recorded as operating 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 IPA in November 2010 as interpreted by management. 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, by excluding acquisition costs (to the extent such costs have been recorded as operating expenses) as well as non-cash items such as straight line rental revenue, 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.
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.
Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of adjustments for straight-line rent, the amortization of above- and below-market leases and unrealized gain on derivative instruments 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
Unrealized (gains) losses on derivative instruments.  These adjustments include unrealized (gains) losses from mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate swaps. The change in fair value of interest rate swaps not designated as a hedge are non-cash adjustments recognized directly in earnings and are included in interest expense.  We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the economic impact of our interest rate swap agreements.

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.
Organization and Offering Costs
Offering costs include all expenses incurred in connection with our offerings of securities. Organization costs include all expenses incurred in connection with our formation, including but not limited to legal fees and other costs to incorporate.
With respect to our public offering, our advisor and dealer manager generally paid our organization and offering expenses incurred in the primary portion of our initial public offering (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) directly.
We reimbursed our advisor, our affiliated dealer manager and their affiliates up to 1.0% of gross primary offering proceeds raised in our initial public offering for commercially reasonable organization and offering expenses. Our advisor, our affiliated dealer manager, and their affiliates were responsible for all organization and other offering expenses (which excludes selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) related to the primary portion of our initial public offering to the extent they exceeded 1.0% of gross proceeds raised in the primary portion of our initial public offering. We did not reimburse our affiliated dealer manager for wholesaling compensation expenses.
During our initial private offering, we were obligated to reimburse our advisor, our affiliated dealer manager or their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs (excluding wholesaling compensation expenses) paid by them on our behalf. We recorded $1.5 million of offering costs (other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees) related to our initial private offering, all of which have been reimbursed to our advisor or its affiliates.
Our advisor has agreed to pay all offering expenses related to our recently launched second private placement offering directly on our behalf without reimbursement by us.
Through June 30, 2019, our advisor and its affiliates had incurred organization and other offering costs (which exclude selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) on our behalf in connection with the initial public offering of approximately $4.4 million. As of June 30, 2019, we recorded $39,000 of organization and other offering expenses related to the initial public offering, which amounts represent our maximum liability for organization and other offering costs as of the termination of our primary initial public offering based on the limitation described above.
As of June 30, 2019, KBS Capital Advisors had incurred $5.0 million in offering expenses on our behalf related to the second private placement offering. The advisor has agreed to pay these expenses on our behalf without reimbursement by us.

Distributions
During our offering stage, when we may raise capital 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 flows from operations, in which case distributions may be paid in whole or in part from debt financing, including advances from our advisor, if necessary. Distributions declared, distributions paid and cash flows from operations were as follows for the first and second quarters of 2019 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

_____________________
(1) Distributions for the periods from January 1, 2019 through May 31, 2019 were based on daily record dates and were calculated based on stockholders of record each day during these periods at a rate of $0.00151233 per share per day. Distributions for the month ended June 30, 2019 was calculated at a monthly rate of $0.046 per share.
(2) Assumes Class A and Class T shares were issued and outstanding each day that was a record date for distributions during the period presented.
(3) Distributions are paid on a monthly basis. In general, distributions for all record dates of a given month are paid on or about the first business day of the following month.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we paid aggregate distributions of $2.7 million, including $1.8 million of distributions paid in cash and $0.9 million of distributions reinvested through our distribution reinvestment plan. Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $4.3 million. FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $0.1 million and cash flows provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $1.1 million. See the reconciliation of FFO to net loss above. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with $1.4 million of current period cash flows from operations, $1.2 million of cash flows from operations in excess of distributions paid during 2018 and $0.1 million of debt financing. In addition, our advisor waived and deferred certain of its asset management fees which resulted in more cash being available for distribution. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flows from operations, 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.
Going forward we currently expect our board of directors to continue to authorize and declare cash distributions based on daily record dates and to pay these distributions on a monthly basis. Cash distributions will be determined by our board of directors based on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. Our board of directors has not pre-established a percentage rate of return for cash distributions to stockholders. We have not established a minimum distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make distributions to our stockholders.
Over the long-term, we expect that a greater percentage of our distributions will be paid from cash flow from operations and FFO (except with respect to distributions related to sales of our assets. Our operating performance cannot be accurately predicted and may deteriorate in the future due to numerous factors, including those discussed under “Forward - Looking Statements,” “Market Outlook - Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets,” “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Results of Operations” herein and the risks discussed herein and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC. Those factors include: our ability 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; 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 distribution reinvestment plan. In the event our FFO and/or cash flow from operations 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 from operations.

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

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated interim financial statements and condensed notes thereto 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, 2018 filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies during 2019, except for our adoption of the lease accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board effective on January 1, 2019 and the addition of an accounting policy related to investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We account for investments in unconsolidated joint ventures over which we may exercise significant influence, but does not control, using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted to reflect additional contributions or distributions and our proportionate share of equity in the joint venture’s income (loss). We recognize our proportionate share of the ongoing income or loss of the unconsolidated joint venture as equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated joint venture on the consolidated statements of operations. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our investment in an unconsolidated joint venture for other-than-temporary impairments. As of June 30, 2019, we did not identify any indicators of impairment related to our unconsolidated real estate joint venture accounted for under the equity method.
Revenue Recognition - Operating Leases
Real Estate
On January 1, 2019, we adopted the lease accounting standards under Topic 842 including the package of practical expedients for all leases that commenced before the effective date of January 1, 2019. Accordingly, we (i) did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing lease, and (iii) did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. We did not elect the practical expedient related to using hindsight to reevaluate the lease term. In addition, we adopted the practical expedient for land easements and did not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840 are or contain a lease under Topic 842.
In addition, Topic 842 provides an optional transition method to allow entities to apply the new lease accounting standards at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We adopted this transition method upon its adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842, which did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Our comparative periods presented in the financial statements will continue to be reported under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840.
In accordance with Topic 842, tenant reimbursements for property taxes and insurance are included in the single lease component of the lease contract (the right of the lessee to use the leased space) and therefore are accounted for as variable lease payments and are recorded as rental income on our statement of operations beginning January 1, 2019. In addition, we adopted the practical expedient available under Topic 842 to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and instead to account for those components as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue recognition standard (Topic 606) and if certain conditions are met, specifically related to tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance which would otherwise be accounted for under the revenue recognition standard. We believe the two conditions have been met for tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance as (i) the timing and pattern of transfer of the nonlease components and associated lease components are the same and (ii) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease. Accordingly, tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance are also accounted for as variable lease payments and recorded as rental income on our statement of operations beginning January 1, 2019.

36

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

We recognize minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectibility is probable and record amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
whether the lessee or lessor supervises the construction and bears the risk of cost overruns;
whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in nature; and
whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.
In accordance with Topic 842, we make a determination of whether the collectibility of the lease payments in an operating lease is probable. If we determine the lease payments are not probable of collection, we would fully reserve for any contractual lease payments, deferred rent receivable, and tenant reimbursements and would recognize rental income only if cash is received. Beginning January 1, 2019, these changes to our collectibility assessment are reflected as an adjustment to rental income. Prior to January 1, 2019, bad debt expense related to uncollectible accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable was included in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations. Any subsequent changes to the collectibility of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2018, which was recorded prior to the adoption of Topic 842, are recorded in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations.
Beginning January 1, 2019, we, as a lessor, record costs to negotiate or arrange a lease that would have been incurred regardless of whether the lease was obtained, such as legal costs incurred to negotiate an operating lease, as an expense and classify such costs as operating, maintenance, and management expense on our consolidated statement of operations, as these costs are no longer capitalizable under the definition of initial direct costs under Topic 842.
Subsequent Events
We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Cash Distributions Paid
On July 1, 2019, we paid cash distributions of $0.5 million, which related to distributions declared for June 2019 in the amount of $0.046 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 27, 2019. On August 1, 2019, we paid cash distributions of $0.5 million, which related to distributions declared for July 2019 in the amount of $0.046 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 30, 2019.
Distributions Authorized
On August 12, 2019, our board of directors authorized an August 2019 distribution in the amount of $0.046 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 29, 2019, which we expect to pay in September 2019, and a September 2019 distribution in the amount of $0.046 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 27, 2019, which we expect to pay in October 2019. Investors may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through our distribution reinvestment plan.

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. 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 variable rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level or 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 future earnings or cash flows on fixed rate debt unless such debt mature or is otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of fixed rate instruments. At June 30, 2019, we did not have any fixed rate debt outstanding.
Conversely, movements in interest rates on variable rate debt would change future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of the debt. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of variable rate instruments. At June 30, 2019, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $40.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding, after giving consideration to the impact of interest rate swap agreements on approximately $78.5 million of our variable debt. Based on interest rates as of June 30, 2019, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher or lower during the 12 months ending June 30, 2020, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase or decrease by $0.4 million.
The weighted average interest rate of our variable rate debt at June 30, 2019 was 4.3%.  The interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect at June 30, 2019 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of interest rate swaps, if applicable), using interest rate indices as of June 30, 2019 where applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Please see the risks discussed below and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
We have paid distributions from advances from our advisor and debt financing. In the future we may continue to pay distributions from financings, including an advance from our advisor, and we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operations. To the extent we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have less funds available for investment in assets, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors will experience dilution.
We expect to have little, if any, cash flow from operations available for distribution until we make substantial investments, and we therefore expect that portions of distributions made during our first few years of operations will be considered a return of capital. During our offering stage, when we may raise capital more quickly than we acquire income‑producing assets, and for some period after our offering stage, we may not be able to pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operations, in which case distributions may be paid in whole or in part from debt financing, including advances from our advisor. Our distributions paid through June 30, 2019 have been paid from cash flows from operations, advances from our advisor and debt financing and we expect that in the future we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operations.
We may fund distributions from any source, including, without limitation, offering proceeds or borrowings. We may also fund such distributions from the sale of assets. 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 operations available for distribution in future periods. If we fund distributions from the sale of assets, this will affect our ability to generate cash flow from operations in future periods. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, 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 operations, 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 operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we paid aggregate distributions of $2.7 million, including $1.8 million of distributions paid in cash and $0.9 million of distributions reinvested through our distribution reinvestment plan. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with $1.4 million of current period cash flows from operations, $1.2 million of cash flows from operations in excess of distributions paid during 2018 and $0.1 million of debt financing. In addition, our advisor waived and deferred certain of its asset management fees which resulted in more cash being available for distribution.
See Part I, Item II, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -Distributions” herein.
If our advisor determines to no longer waive or defer certain fees due to them, our ability to fund our operations and our distributions at the current rate may be adversely affected.
From time to time, our advisor may agree to waive or defer all or a portion of the asset management or other fees, compensation or incentives due to it, pay general administrative expenses or otherwise supplement stockholder returns in order to increase the amount of cash available to fund our operations or make distributions to stockholders. Specifically, in the second and third quarters of 2017 our advisor waived its asset management fee and beginning October 2017 through June 2019, the advisor deferred its asset management fee. If our advisor chooses to no longer waive or defer such fees, our ability to fund our operations and our distributions at the current rate may be adversely affected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 1A. Risk Factors (continued)

Our advisor and its affiliates face potential conflicts of interest relating to the acquisition of assets due to their relationship with other KBS-sponsored programs and/or KBS-advised investors, which could result in decisions that are not in our best interest or the best interests of our stockholders.
We rely on our sponsor, KBS Holdings LLC, our advisor, KBS Capital Advisors, and other key real estate and debt finance professionals at our advisor, including Mr. Schreiber, to identify suitable investment opportunities for us.  KBS Capital Advisors and KBS Realty Advisors advise other KBS-sponsored programs and funds. As such, KBS-sponsored programs that have funds available for investment and KBS-advised investors that have funds available for investment rely on many of the same real estate and debt finance professionals, as will future KBS-sponsored programs and KBS-advised investors. Many investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other KBS-sponsored programs and KBS-advised investors. KBS Capital Advisors and KBS Realty Advisors proposed that our conflicts committee and board of directors adopt an asset allocation policy (the “Allocation Process”) among us, KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc. (collectively, the “Core Strategy REITs”) and a new real estate investment trust affiliated with Mr.  Schreiber (the “New REIT”). The board of directors and conflicts committee adopted the Allocation Process as proposed. The Allocation Process provides that, in order to mitigate potential conflicts of interest that may arise among the Core REITs and the New REIT, upon the listing of the New REIT (which occurred on July 19, 2019), potential asset acquisitions that meet all of the following criteria would be offered first to the New REIT:
(i)
Class A office building;
(ii)
Purchase price of at least $125.0 million;
(iii)
Average occupancy of at least 90% for the first two years based on contractual in-place leases; and
(iv)
Stabilized property investment yield that is generally supportive of the distributions per unit of the Purchaser.
To the extent the New REIT does not have the funds to acquire the asset or to the extent the manager of the New REIT decides to forego the acquisition opportunity, such asset may then be offered to the Core Strategy REITs at the discretion of KBS Capital Advisors.
For so long as we are externally advised, our charter provides that it shall not be a proper purpose of the company for us to make any significant investment unless our advisor has recommended the investment to us. Thus, the real estate and debt finance professionals of our advisor could direct attractive investment opportunities to other KBS-sponsored programs or KBS-advised investors. Such events could result in us investing in properties that provide less attractive returns, which would reduce the level of distributions we may be able to pay our stockholders.
Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
a)
During the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we sold the following equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”).
Pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of the Act, we are currently conducting a private offering for the sale of a maximum of $1,000,000,000 of shares of our Class A common stock to accredited investors through a best efforts private placement offering which commenced on October 3, 2017. The exemption is available to us because the shares are being offered and sold solely to accredited investors and we are verifying accredited investor status. Prior to the launch of the private offering, on September 29, 2017, we engaged North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“NCPS”) to act as dealer manager for the offering. For sales executed by NCPS, our advisor pays NCPS, without reimbursement from us, selling commissions of 0.5% of the gross offering proceeds. Through December 11, 2017, shares were sold in the private offering at $8.75 per share. From December 12, 2017 through December 13, 2018, shares were sold in the private offering at $8.79 per share. Effective December 14, 2018, we are offering shares in the private offering at $9.20 per share. Through June 30, 2019, we had raised approximately $5.2 million related to the sale of 581,022 shares of our Class A common stock in the private offering. Through June 30, 2019, our advisor had paid underwriting commissions of approximately $39,000 related to this private offering.
b)
Not applicable.
c)
We have adopted a share redemption program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances.
Currently, our share redemption program is only available for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program, and collectively “special redemptions”).

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (continued)

Pursuant to the share redemption program, as amended to date, there are several limitations on our ability to redeem shares:
During each calendar year, special redemptions are limited to an annual dollar amount determined by the board of directors, which may be reviewed during the year and increased or decreased upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. The dollar amount limitation for special redemptions for the calendar year 2019 is $1.0 million in the aggregate, as may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time by the board of directors.
During any calendar year, we may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted‑average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year.
We have no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency.
Special redemptions are redeemed at a price equal to the most recent estimated NAV per share as of the applicable redemption date. On December 7, 2018 our board of directors approved an estimated NAV per share of our common stock of $9.20 based on the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities, or NAV, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of September 30, 2018. For a full description of the methodologies used to value our assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of our estimated NAV per share as of September 30, 2018, see the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 10, 2018. We expect to update the estimated NAV annually in December.
We may amend, suspend or terminate our share redemption program upon 10 business days’ notice.  We redeem shares on the last business day of each month.  For a stockholder’s shares to be eligible for redemption in a given month or to withdraw a redemption request, we must receive a written notice from the stockholder or from an authorized representative of the stockholder in good order and on a form approved by us at least five business days before the redemption date.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, redemptions under our share redemption program were funded with the net proceeds from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year, and shares were redeemed pursuant to our share redemption program as follows:
