1. Business and Organization

Macquarie CNL Global Income Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in Maryland on March 4, 2009 and intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2010.

Upon formation, the Advisor acquired 22,222 shares of the Company’s common stock for $200,000. These were all of the shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2010.

The Company intends to acquire and operate a diverse portfolio of commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on a global basis, principally focusing on acquisitions of income-oriented commercial real estate and real estate-related assets. These investments may also include the investment in, and origination of, real estate-related investments such as mortgage, mezzanine, bridge, and other loans, debt securities such as commercial mortgage-backed securities and those issued by other real estate companies, equity securities of real estate companies, as well as other real estate-related investments. The Company may invest in a wide variety of sectors, including office properties, retail centers, business and industrial parks (including warehouse, manufacturing and distribution facilities), multifamily properties (including student and senior housing), hospitality properties, healthcare properties and self storage properties, as well as other classifications of commercial real estate property. The Company initially anticipates that up to 60% of its assets may be located outside the United States.

The Company plans to own substantially all of its assets and conduct its operations through Macquarie CNL Income, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company currently owns all of the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, and Macquarie CNL Income GP, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “General Partner”), owns a 1% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.

The Company’s advisor is Macquarie CNL Global Income Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Advisor”). The Advisor is a joint venture owned 50% by an affiliate of CNL Financial Group, LLC (“CNL”), and 50% by an affiliate of Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets Inc. (“MIRA”) (formerly Macquarie Capital Funds Inc.), the Company’s sponsors. The Advisor is responsible for managing the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on behalf of the Company pursuant to an advisory agreement between the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor dated January 20, 2010, which was amended and restated on August 12, 2010 (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisor has entered into sub-advisory agreements with each of CNL Global Income Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of CNL, and Macquarie Global Income Advisors LLC, an affiliate of MIRA, to provide substantially all of the Company’s acquisition, operating and administrative services. The Advisor will retain ultimate responsibility for the performance of all matters entrusted to it under the advisory agreement.

On April 8, 2009, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (“Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to offer for sale up to $1.5 billion of shares of common stock (150 million shares of common stock at $10.00 per share) (the “Offering”), of which initially 3,750,000 shares are being offered pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $9.50 per share. The Registration Statement was declared effective on April 23, 2010, and the Offering commenced on that date.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in the development stage and had not commenced operations, did not own any properties and had not made any loans or other investments.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited balance sheets have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The balance sheets include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries over which it has control including the Operating Partnership and the General Partner. All intercompany profits, balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Amounts as of December 31, 2009, included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet have been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheets and notes thereto as of December 31, 2009 included in the Company’s final prospectus filed with the SEC on April 26, 2010, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Use of Estimates

Management may make estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of cash on hand and highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted Cash and Escrowed Investor Proceeds

The Company is currently engaged in a public offering of its common stock. Included in restricted cash are escrowed investor proceeds of approximately $1.7 million as of September 30, 2010, for which shares of common stock had not yet been issued. On October 6, 2010, the Company received aggregate subscription proceeds in excess of the minimum offering amount of $2.0 million in shares of common stock, and on October 8, 2010, the subscription proceeds of approximately $2.4 million were released from escrow and 236,520 shares of common stock were issued to stockholders.

Organizational and Offering Expenses

Organizational expenses are costs incurred in connection with the Company’s formation. Offering expenses include selling commissions and the marketing support fees incurred by the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates, costs of the SEC registration, and the marketing and distribution of the Company’s equity shares in an offering, including, without limitation, the following: legal, accounting and escrow fees; due diligence expenses; printing, amending, supplementing, mailing and distributing costs; personnel costs associated with processing investor subscriptions and the preparation and dissemination of offering documents and sales materials; telecopy and telephone costs; charges of transfer agents, registrars, trustees, depositories and experts; and fees, expenses and taxes related to the filing, registration and qualification of the Company’s equity shares under federal and state laws. In accordance with the Company’s articles of incorporation, the total amount of selling commissions, market support fees, due diligence expense reimbursements, and organizational and offering costs to be paid by the Company may not exceed 15% of the gross aggregate offering proceeds.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

 

 

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Advisor had incurred organizational and offering expenses, as well as certain operating related costs, on behalf of the Company totaling $6.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively. These are not recorded in the financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, because such costs did not become a liability of the Company until October 6, 2010, when subscriptions in excess of the minimum offering amount of $2.0 million in shares of common stock were received and accepted by the Company. Additionally, such costs are recorded as a liability only to the extent organizational and offering expenses do not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. When recorded by the Company, organizational costs relating to the formation of the Company and operating related costs will be expensed as incurred and offering costs will be deferred and reported as a reduction of stockholder’s equity.

Concentration of Credit Risk

At September 30, 2010, the Company’s restricted cash deposits exceeded federally insured levels. However, the Company has not experienced any losses on the account. The Company continues to monitor the third-party depository institution that holds the Company’s restricted cash, primarily with the goal of safety of principal. The Company attempts to limit cash investments to financial institutions with high credit standing; therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Income Taxes

The Company intends to elect to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2010. In order to be taxed as a REIT, the Company will be subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including the requirement to make distributions to its stockholders each year of at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (excluding any net capital gain). If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company may also be subject to foreign taxes on investments outside of the U.S. based on the jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business.

It is possible the Company will form one or more subsidiaries which may elect to be taxed as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state and foreign laws, a TRS will be subject to tax on its taxable income.

Prior to the Company’s REIT election, which is intended to be effective for the 2010 tax year, it is subject to corporate federal and state income taxes. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had no operating results subject to taxation.

 

3. Capitalization

At December 31, 2009, the Company was authorized to issue a total of 100,000 shares of common stock. On January 21, 2010, the Company amended its current Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of 1,320,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 1,120,000,000 common shares, $0.01 par value per share, and 200,000,000 preferred shares, $0.01 par value. As of December 31, 2009, 22,222 common shares were issued and outstanding.

4. Distributions

In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company must, among other things, make distributions each taxable year equal to at least 90% of its REIT taxable income.

On May 25, 2010, the Company’s board of directors authorized a daily distribution of $0.0017808 per share of common stock which will commence on the day following the Company receiving and accepting subscriptions for the minimum offering of $2.0 million in shares of common stock. Distributions will be calculated based on the number of days each stockholder has been a stockholder of record in that month. Distributions that accrue in the month the minimum offering is met and the subsequent month’s accrued distributions will be accumulated and paid in the following month. Thereafter, at the end of each month, that month’s distributions will be aggregated and paid in the following month. The daily distribution rate equates to an annualized distribution rate of 6.5%, using the Company’s offering price of $10.00 per share. As the Company had not met the minimum offering requirements as of September 30, 2010, no distributions were paid or payable. Until the net proceeds from the Offering are fully invested, the Company may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fully fund distributions. During the early stages of the Offering, all or a portion of the distributions may be paid from other sources, such as cash flows from financing activities, which include borrowings, proceeds from the Offering, cash advances from the Company’s Advisor or by way of waiver or deferral of fees.

 

5. Related Party Arrangements

The Advisor and certain affiliates of the Advisor will receive fees and compensation in connection with the Offering and in connection with the acquisition, management and sale of the assets of the Company. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had not received the required minimum offering amount of $2.0 million in shares of common stock, had not accepted investors, and had not purchased any properties. As a result, the Company had no obligation to reimburse the Advisor for fees and compensation in connection with the Offering, the acquisition, management or sales of assets, or for certain reimbursable costs incurred in connection with certain administrative activities.

On August 12, 2010, the Company’s board of directors approved an amended and restated advisory agreement for the purpose of restructuring the fees to be paid to the Advisor for certain services. Generally, the fee restructuring resulted in a reduction of the investment services fee from 3% to 1.85%, a reduction of the disposition fee from 3% to 1%, the provision for a financing coordination fee for services rendered with respect to refinancing of any debt obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries equal to 1% of the gross amount of the refinancing, and the reduction from 8% to 6% the priority return that must be paid to stockholders before the Company may pay incentive fees to the Advisor. The revised disposition fee and priority return are also reflected in amended and restated articles of incorporation approved by the board of directors and filed in the State of Maryland on August 13, 2010. The Company’s management and board of directors believe that the fee revisions enable the Company to more effectively compete for capital and better align the interests of the Advisor with the interests of the Company’s stockholders.

Bank charges paid on the Company’s behalf by its Advisor as of December 31, 2009, have been recorded as due to related party in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

6. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

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

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion is based on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Amounts as of December 31, 2009, included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet have been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and the notes thereto, as well as the audited consolidated balance sheets, notes and management’s discussion and analysis included in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on April 26, 2010 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

The following information contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements generally are characterized by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “believe” and “expect” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: the current global economic downturn, conditions affecting the CNL brand name and/or the Macquarie brand name, increased direct competition, changes in government regulations or accounting rules, changes in local, national and global real estate conditions, our ability to obtain lines of credit or permanent financing on satisfactory terms, changes in interest rates, availability of proceeds from our offering of shares, our ability to identify suitable investments, our ability to close on identified investments, inaccuracies of our accounting estimates, our ability to locate suitable tenants and operators for our properties and borrowers for our loans and the ability of such tenants and borrowers to make payments under their respective leases or loans. Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on such statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our final prospectus filed with the SEC on April 26, 2010 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We were formed primarily to acquire and operate a diverse portfolio of commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on a global basis. We may invest in a range of real estate sectors, including office properties, retail centers, business and industrial parks (including warehouse, manufacturing and distribution facilities), multifamily properties (including student and senior housing), hospitality properties, healthcare properties and self storage properties, as well as other classifications of commercial real estate property. We will principally focus on acquisitions of income-oriented commercial real estate and real estate-related assets. These investments may also include the investment in, and origination of, real estate-related investments such as mortgage, mezzanine, bridge, and other loans, debt securities such as commercial mortgage-backed securities and those issued by other real estate companies, equity securities of real estate companies, as well as other real estate-related investments. We initially anticipate that up to 60% of our assets may be located outside the United States.

As of September 30, 2010, we were in the development stage and had not commenced operations, did not own any properties and had not made any loans or other investments.

Table of Contents

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2010, we had not received and accepted subscriptions for the minimum required offering proceeds and therefore had not commenced operations. As of October 6, 2010, we had satisfied the conditions of escrow and on October 8, 2010, approximately $2.4 million was released from escrow and we commenced operations.

Our principal demands for funds will be for real estate and real estate-related acquisitions, for the payment of offering and operating expenses and distributions, and for the payment of interest on our outstanding indebtedness. Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions from our cash flow from operations, and we expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions from net offering proceeds (which means our gross offering proceeds, without deduction for volume and other discounts, less organizational and offering expenses) and from financings.

On May 25, 2010, our board of directors authorized a daily distribution of $0.0017808 per share of common stock which will commence on October 7, 2010, the day following our receiving and accepting subscriptions for the minimum offering amount of $2.0 million in shares of common stock. Distributions will be calculated based on the number of days each stockholder has been a stockholder of record in that month. Distributions for October and November 2010 will be aggregated and paid on or about December 15, 2010. Thereafter, at the end of each subsequent calendar month, that month’s distributions will be paid in the next subsequent month. The daily distribution rate equates to an annualized distribution rate of 6.5%, using our offering price of $10.00 per share. Our board of directors intends to evaluate our distribution policy on a quarterly basis. As we had not met the minimum offering requirements as of September 30, 2010, no distributions were paid or payable as of that date.

Until the net proceeds from the Offering are fully invested, we may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fully fund distributions. During the early stages of the Offering, all or a portion of the distributions may be paid from other sources, such as cash flows from financing activities, which include borrowings, proceeds from the Offering, cash advances from our Advisor or by way of waiver or deferral of fees. We have not established any limit on the extent to which distributions could be funded from these other sources. The level of distributions will be determined by our board of directors and depend on a number of factors including current and projected liquidity requirements, anticipated operating cash flows and tax considerations, and other relevant items deemed applicable by our board of directors.

There is no limitation on the amount we may invest in any single property or other asset or on the amount we can borrow for the purchase of any individual property or other investment. Once the net proceeds of the Offering are fully invested, our expectation is that our aggregate borrowings will be between 30% and 60% of the aggregate value of our assets. Under our articles of incorporation, our indebtedness may not exceed 300% of our net assets as of the date of any borrowing unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent directors and is disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report. In addition to the limitations contained in our articles of incorporation, our board of directors has adopted a policy to limit our aggregate borrowings to approximately 75% of the aggregate value of our assets, unless substantial justification exists that borrowing a greater amount is in our best interests. Our policy limitation, however, does not apply to an individual real estate asset and will only apply once we have ceased raising capital under the Offering or any subsequent offering and invested substantially all of our capital. As a result, we may borrow more than 75% of the contract price of each real estate asset we acquire to the extent our board of directors determines that borrowing these amounts is prudent.

We, through the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, generally will seek to borrow on a non-recourse basis, in amounts that we believe will maximize the return to our stockholders. The use of non-recourse financing allows us to improve returns to our stockholders and to limit our exposure on any investment to the amount invested. Non-recourse indebtedness means the indebtedness of the borrower or its subsidiaries is collateralized only by the assets to which such indebtedness relates, without recourse to the borrower or any of its subsidiaries, other than in

Table of Contents

the case of customary carve-outs for which the borrower or its subsidiaries acts as guarantor in connection with such indebtedness, such as fraud, misappropriation, misapplication of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations.

We intend to strategically leverage our real properties and use debt as a means of providing additional funds for the acquisition of properties and the diversification of our portfolio. Our ability to increase our diversification through borrowing could be adversely affected by credit market conditions which result in lenders reducing or limiting funds available for loans collateralized by real estate. During times when interest rates on mortgage loans are high or financing is otherwise unavailable on a timely basis, we may purchase certain properties for cash or with temporary financing, with the intention of obtaining a mortgage loan for a portion of the purchase price at a later time.

Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from collateralized or uncollateralized financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of properties, securitization of mortgages and other notes receivable and undistributed funds from operations. If necessary, we may use financings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures.

We have not yet entered into any commitments to acquire any specific property or to make or invest in any specific loan or other permitted investment and are not currently subject to any contingent liabilities due to the limited nature of our activities. The number of properties, loans and other permitted investments we may acquire or make will depend on the number of shares sold and the resulting amount of the net offering proceeds available for investment in such properties, loans and other permitted investments. If only a limited number of shares are sold in excess of the minimum offering amount, then we will likely make only one or a limited number of investments and we will not achieve a significant diversification of our investments.

On August 12, 2010, our board of directors approved an amendment to our articles of incorporation and to our advisory agreement. Management and the board of directors believe the fee revisions enable the Company to more effectively compete for capital and better align the long-term Company goals with its Advisor.

ORGANIZATIONAL AND OFFERING EXPENSES

Organizational expenses are costs incurred in connection with the Company’s formation. Offering expenses include selling commissions and the marketing support fees incurred by us or any of our affiliates , costs of the SEC registration, and the marketing and distribution of our equity shares in an offering, including, without limitation, the following: legal, accounting and escrow fees; due diligence expenses; printing, amending, supplementing, mailing and distributing costs; personnel costs associated with processing investor subscriptions and the preparation and dissemination of offering documents and sales materials; telecopy and telephone costs; charges of transfer agents, registrars, trustees, depositories and experts; and fees, expenses and taxes related to the filing, registration and qualification of our equity shares under federal and state laws. In accordance with the Company’s articles of incorporation, the total amount of selling commissions, market support fees, due diligence expense reimbursements, and organizational and offering costs to be paid by the Company may not exceed 15% of the gross aggregate offering proceeds.

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our Advisor had incurred organizational and offering expenses, as well as certain operating related expenses, on behalf of the Company totaling $6.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively. These are not recorded in our balance sheets as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, because such costs did not become a liability of ours until October 6, 2010, when subscriptions in excess of the minimum offering of $2.0 million in shares of common stock were received and accepted by us. Additionally, such costs are recorded as a liability only to the extent organizational and offering expenses do not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. When recorded, organizational costs relating to the formation of the Company and operating related costs will be expensed as incurred and offering costs will be deferred and reported as a reduction of stockholder’s equity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As of September 30, 2010, we were in our development stage and had not commenced operations, did not own any properties and had not made any loans or other investments. Operations commenced on October 8, 2010, when aggregate subscription proceeds in excess of the minimum offering amount had been accepted and released to us from escrow.

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from the acquisition and operation of properties, loans and other permitted investments, other than those referred to in the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our final prospectus filed with the SEC on April 26, 2010 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Bank charges paid on our behalf by our Advisor as of December 31, 2009, have been recorded as due to related party in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2010.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

We had no contractual obligations as of September 30, 2010.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that management believes will be critical once we commence operations. We consider these policies critical because they will involve management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they will be important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments will affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at 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 use different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. Our most sensitive estimates will involve the allocation of the purchase price of acquired properties and evaluating our real estate-related investments for impairment.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we will evaluate the entity to determine if the entity is deemed a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs. When an entity is not deemed to be a VIE, we consider the provisions of the same accounting standard to determine whether a general partner, or the general partners as a group, controls a limited partnership or similar entity when the limited partner has certain rights. We consolidate (i) entities that are VIEs and of which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which we control and the limited partners neither have the ability to dissolve the entity or remove us without cause nor any substantive participating rights. Entities that we account for under the equity method (i.e. at cost, increased or decreased by our share of earnings or losses, plus contributions, less distributions) include (i) entities that are VIEs and of which we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which we do not control, but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence and (iii) entities that are non-VIEs that we control through our general partner status, but limited partners in the entity have the substantive ability to dissolve the entity or remove us without cause or have substantive participating rights. We will reconsider our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and who the primary beneficiary is, and whether or not the limited partners in an entity have substantive rights, if certain events occur that are likely to cause a change in the original determinations. The portion of the entities that are consolidated but not owned by us will be presented as non-controlling interest as of and during the periods consolidated. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Allocation of Purchase Price for Real Estate Acquisitions

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, we will record the fair value of the land, buildings, equipment, intangible assets, including but not limited to in-place lease origination costs and above or below market lease values, assumed liabilities and any contingent purchase consideration at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair values are determined based on incorporating market participant assumptions, discounted cash flow models and our estimate reflecting the facts and circumstances of each acquisition.

Depreciation and Amortization

Real estate costs related to the acquisition, development and improvement of properties will be capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs will be charged to expense as incurred and significant replacements and betterments will be capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate asset. We consider the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. Expenditures for tenant improvements and construction allowances related to a tenant’s space, that are not considered lease incentives, will be capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the tenant’s lease term or expected useful life. We anticipate the estimated useful lives of our assets by class to be generally as follows:

 

Buildings    25-40 years
Building improvements    10-25 years
Equipment    5-10 years
Tenant improvements    Shorter of lease term or expected useful life
Tenant origination and absorption costs    Remaining term of related leases

Classification of Investment Securities and Valuations of Financial Instruments

We will classify investments in commercial real estate-related debt and securities as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. As such, we expect that our investments classified as available-for-sale will be carried at their fair value with changes in fair value recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), a component of stockholders’ equity, rather than through earnings. We do not intend to hold any of our investment securities for trading purposes; however, if our securities were classified as trading securities, there could be substantially greater volatility in our earnings, as changes in the fair value of securities classified as trading securities are recorded through earnings. Debt and securities held for investment will be stated at their amortized cost, net of deferred fees and costs with income recognized using the effective interest method.

When the estimated fair value of an available-for-sale security is less than amortized cost, we will consider whether there is an other-than-temporary impairment in the value of the security. Unrealized losses on securities considered to be other-than-temporary will be recognized in earnings. The determination of whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired will involve judgments and assumptions based on subjective and objective factors. Consideration will be given to, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of recovery in the fair value of the security, and (iii) our intent to retain our investment in the security, or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery in fair value. Investments in debt securities with unrealized losses will not be considered other-than-temporarily impaired if we have the ability and intent to hold the investments for a period of time, to maturity if necessary, sufficient for a forecasted market price recovery within a reasonable period of time up to or beyond the cost of the investments.

Loans Receivable

Loans held-for-investment will be reported at their outstanding principal balance net of any unearned income and unamortized deferred fees and costs. We expect that interest income will be recognized using the interest method or a method that approximates a level rate of return over the loan term. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are generally deferred and recognized as adjustments to interest income over the lives of the related loans. Loans that we intend to sell or liquidate in the near term will be reported at the lower of cost or fair value.

Loan Impairment

We will evaluate loans classified as held-for-investment for possible impairment on a quarterly basis. Impairment occurs when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Impairment will then be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s contractual effective rate or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. Upon measurement of impairment, we will record an allowance to reduce the carrying value of the loan accordingly and record a corresponding charge to net income.

Real Estate Impairments

For real estate we wholly own or consolidate, our management will monitor events and changes in circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may have diminished and not be recoverable. Factors that could trigger an impairment analysis include, among others: (i) significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner of use of our real estate assets or the strategy of our overall business; (iii) a significant increase in competition; (iv) a significant adverse change in legal factors or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, which could affect the value of our real estate assets; or (v) significant negative industry or economic trends. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we will assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset and from its eventual disposition, to the carrying amount of the asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, we will recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value. For real estate we indirectly own through an investment in a joint venture, tenant-in-common interest or other similar investment structure and account for under the equity method, at each reporting date, we will compare the estimated fair value of our investment to the carrying value. An impairment charge will be recorded to the extent the fair value of our investment is less than the carrying amount and the decline in value is determined to be other than a temporary decline.

In evaluating our real estate investments for impairment, management will make several estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition of the properties, the estimated future cash flows of the properties during our ownership and the projected sales price of each of the properties. If we used different estimates and assumptions, the carrying value might vary significantly, which could be material to our financial statements.

Income Taxes

We intend to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and intend to operate as such beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2010. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute to stockholders at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income that we distribute as dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and will operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT. Notwithstanding our intent to be treated as a REIT, we may be subject to U.S. federal taxes if we form a TRS to conduct certain activities and will be subject to taxes in other jurisdictions such as state, local or foreign jurisdictions.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties and to make loans and other permitted investments. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we expect to borrow and lend primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available, and in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.

We may be exposed to foreign currency exchange rate movements as the result of investing outside of the U.S. At such time as we have foreign investments, we will evaluate various foreign currency risk mitigating strategies in an effort to minimize any impact on earnings.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In the most recent fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings - None

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s final prospectus filed with the SEC on April 26, 2010 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

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

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the period covered by this quarterly report, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and we did not repurchase any of our securities.

Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

As of September 30, 2010, we had 22,222 shares of our common stock outstanding, all of which were owned by our Advisor. As of such date, we had received subscriptions for 174,766 shares of our common stock under our Offering that were being held in escrow with our escrow agent, UMB, N.A., as we had not yet received and accepted subscriptions to purchase $2.0 million of shares of our common stock. As of October 6, 2010, we had satisfied the conditions of escrow and on October 8, 2010, approximately $2.4 million was released from escrow.

We did not have an obligation to reimburse our Advisor for any organizational and offering expenses until we sold the minimum offering amount of $2.0 million of shares of our common stock; therefore, we did not record any such expenses within our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by this report. As of October 6, 2010, those costs became a liability of ours to the extent organizational and offering expenses do not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of the Offering.

As of September 30, 2010, we had not entered into any arrangement to acquire any specific property or to make any specific loan or to make any other permitted investment.
