Interim Financial Information

InterimOur interim financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of the Company’sour management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim period have been included. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’sour Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010,2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2011.February 28, 2012.

Out of Period Adjustment

During the three months ended March, 31 2011, the Companywe recorded adjustments to due diligence expense, depreciation and amortization expense and to certain balance sheet accounts in connection with the property the Companywe acquired in December 2010. As a result of these errors, the Company

we understated net income by $250$0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, or $0.03 per share. The CompanyWe concluded that these adjustments were not material to the 2010 or 2011 results of operations nor are they expected to be material to the full year 2011 results.operations. As such, these adjustments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amountsline items on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows from prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity or net income or stockholders’ equity.income.

Investments in Real Estate and Lease Intangibles

The Company recordsWe record investments in real estate at cost and capitalizescapitalize improvements and replacements when they extend the useful life or improve the efficiency of the asset. The Company expensesWe expense costs of repairs and maintenance as such costs are incurred. The Company computesWe compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life or 39 years for buildings and improvements, 5 to 7 years for equipment and fixtures, and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

The Company accountsWe account for itsour acquisitions of real estate in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations,” which requires that the purchase price of real estate be recorded at fair value and allocated to the acquired tangible assets and liabilities, consisting of land, building, tenant improvements, long-term debt and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, the value of unamortized lease origination costs, the value of tenant relationships and the value of capital lease obligations, based in each case on their fair values. ASC 805 also requires that all expenses related to the acquisition be expensed as incurred, rather than capitalized into the cost of the acquisition, as had been the previous accounting.

Management’s estimates of fair value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Factors considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. The CompanyWe also considersconsider information obtained about each property as a result of itsour pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management also includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, which primarily range from nine to eighteen months, depending on specific local market conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs are not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.

The Company allocatesWe allocate purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The “as-if-vacant” value is allocated to land, building and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Real estate depreciation expense on these tangible assets was $2,582$2.8 million and $7,459$2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $2,382 and $7,156 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for owned properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii)

management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. When determining the non-cancelable term of the lease, we evaluate if fixed-rate renewal options, if any, should be included. The capitalized above-market lease values, included in the accompanying balance sheet as part of deferred rent receivable, are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Total amortization related to above-market lease values was $91 and $245$0.1 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2012 and 2011, and $63 and $190 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The capitalized below-market lease values, included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheetsheets as part of deferred rent liability, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Total amortization related to below-market lease values was $269$0.3 million and $758$0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2012 and 2011, and $231 and $706 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

The total amount of the remaining intangible assets acquired, which consistconsists of in-place lease values, unamortized lease origination costs, and customer relationship intangible values, are allocated based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’sour overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics to be considered by management in allocatingdetermining these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and the Company’sour expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.

The value of in-place leases and unamortized lease origination costs are amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases, which generally range from 10 to 15 years. The value of customer relationship intangibles, which is the benefit to the Companyus resulting from the likelihood of an existing tenant renewing its lease, are amortized to expense over the remaining term and any anticipated renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the above-market and below-market lease values, in-place lease values, unamortized lease origination costs and customer relationship intangibles will be immediately charged to the related income or expense. Total amortization expense related to these intangible assets was $1,047$1.1 million and $3,014$1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $898 and $2,836 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

Impairment

The Company accountsWe account for the impairment of real estate, including intangible assets, in accordance with ASC 360-10-35, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” which requires the Companyus to periodically review the carrying value of each property to determine if circumstances indicate impairment of the carrying value of the investment existexists or that depreciation periods should be modified. If circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company prepareswe prepare a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, of the specific property and determines if the investment in such property is recoverable. If impairment is indicated, the Companywe will write down the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.

In light of current economic conditions, the Company evaluates itswe evaluate our entire portfolio each quarter for any impairment indicators and performedperform an impairment analysis on those select properties that hadhave an indication of impairment. In performing the analysis, the Company consideredwe consider such factors as the tenants’ payment history and financial condition, the likelihood of lease renewal, business conditions in the industry in which the tenants operate and whether the fair value of the real estate has decreased. The CompanyWe concluded that none of itsour properties were impaired as of March 31, 2012, and will continue to monitor itsour portfolio for any indicators that may change this conclusion. There have been no impairments recognized on real estate assets in the Company’s history.since inception.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash equivalents to be all short-term, highly-liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase, except that any such investments purchased with funds held in escrow or similar accounts are classified as restricted cash. Items classified as cash equivalents include money-market deposit accounts. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2011 were held in the custody of three financial institutions, and the Company’s balance at times may exceed federally insurable limits.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of security deposits and receipts from tenants for reserves. These funds will be released to the tenants upon completion of agreed upon tasks, as specified in the lease agreements, mainly consisting of maintenance and repairs on the buildings and upon receipt by the Company of evidence of insurance and tax payments. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, changes in restricted cash caused by changes in reserves held for tenants are shown as investing activities. Changes in restricted cash caused by changes in security deposits are reflected in cash from financing activities.

Funds Held in Escrow

Funds held in escrow consist of funds held by certain of the Company’s lenders for properties held as collateral by these lenders. These funds will be released to the Company upon completion of agreed upon tasks, as specified in the mortgage agreements, mainly consisting of maintenance and repairs on the buildings, and when evidence of insurance and tax payments has been submitted to the lenders.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs consist of costs incurred to obtain financing, including legal fees, origination fees and administrative fees. The costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the secured financing. The CompanyWe made payments of $252$2.4 million and $478$11 for deferred financing costs during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $193 and $254 for deferred financing costrespectively. The payments incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.March 31, 2012 were primarily related to the issuance of the 7.125% Series C Term Preferred Stock, the (“Term Preferred Stock”), discussed in further detail in Note 6 “Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock. Total amortization expense related to deferred financing costs is included in interest expense and was $228$0.3 million and $684$0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $293 and $837 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

Obligation Under Capital Lease

In conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of a building in Fridley, Minnesota in February 2008, the Company acquired a ground lease on the parking lot of the building, which had a purchase obligation to acquire the land under the ground lease at the end of the term in April 2014 for $300. In accordance with ASC 840-10-25, “Leases,” the Company accounted for the ground lease as a capital lease and recorded the corresponding present value of the obligation under the capital lease. The Company recorded total interest expense related to the accretion of the capital lease obligation of $3 and $9 for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue includes rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease reported evenly over the non-cancelable term of the lease. Most of the Company’sour leases contain rental increases at specified intervals. The Company recognizesWe recognize such revenues on a straight-line basis. Deferred rent receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet includes the cumulative difference between rental revenue, as recorded on a straight linestraight-line basis, and rents received from the tenants in accordance with the lease terms, along with the capitalized above-market and below-market in-place lease values of certain acquired properties. Accordingly, the Company determines,we determine, in itsour judgment, to what extent the deferred rent

receivable applicable to each specific tenant is collectable. The Company reviewsWe review deferred rent receivable, as it relates to straight line rents, on a quarterly basis and takes into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the geographic area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of deferred rent with respect to any given tenant is in doubt, the Company recordswe record an allowance for uncollectable accounts or recordsrecord a direct write-off of the specific rent receivable. No such reserves or direct write-offs have been recorded as of September 30, 2011.March 31, 2012.

Tenant recovery revenue includes payments from tenants as reimbursements for franchise taxes, management fees, insurance, and ground lease payments. The Company recognizesWe recognize tenant recovery revenue in the same periods that it incurs the related expenses.

Comprehensive Income Taxes

Asset Retirement Obligations

ASC 410, “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligation,” requires an entity to recognize a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability can be reasonably estimated. ASC 410-20-20 clarifies that the term “Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation” refers to a legal obligation (pursuant to existing laws or by contract) to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. ASC 410-20-25-6 clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value and common requirements for measurement of an asset retirement obligation.

The Company accounts for stock issuance costs in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5.A, which states that incremental costs directly attributable to a proposedimpacts on our financial position or actual offering of securities may properly be deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the offering. Accordingly, the Company records costs incurred related to its ongoing equity offerings to other assets on its consolidated balance sheet and ratably applies these amounts to the cost of equity as stock is issued. If an equity offering is subsequently terminated and there are amounts remaining in other assets that have not been allocated to the cost of the offering, the remaining amounts are recorded as an expense on the consolidated statementresults of operations.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011, the CompanyMarch 31, 2012, we acquired two properties,one property, which areis summarized below:

On April 4, 2011, the Company acquired a 60,000 square foot office building located in Hickory, North Carolina for $10,650, excluding related acquisition expenses of $59. The Company funded this acquisition using borrowings from its line of credit. At closing, the Company was assigned the triple net lease with Fiserv Solutions, Inc., which has a remaining term of approximately nine years. The tenant has two options to extend the lease for additional periods of five years each.

Mortgage Notes Payable

As of September 30, 2011, the CompanyMarch 31, 2012, we had 1820 fixed-rate mortgage notes payable, collateralized by a total of 5658 properties. The parent company has limited recourse liabilities that could result from any one or more of the following circumstances: a borrower voluntarily filing for bankruptcy, improper conveyance of a property, fraud or material misrepresentation, misapplication or misappropriation of rents, security deposits, insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds, or physical waste or damage to the property resulting from a borrower’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The CompanyWe will also indemnify lenders against claims resulting from the presence of hazardous substances or activity involving hazardous substances in violation of environmental laws on a property. The weighted-average interest rate on the mortgage notes payable as of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 was 5.71%5.72%.

The CompanyWe had $45,233$45.2 million of balloon principal payments maturing under one of itsour long-term mortgages in 2011; however, the mortgage has two annual extension options through 2013, and the Companywe exercised one of these options on September 30, 2011. In connection with the exercise of the option, the interest rate reset from 4.58% to 4.76% through September 30, 2012. At the time of notification of the extension, the Companywe remitted a fee of 0.25% of the outstanding principal balance, or approximately $113,$0.1 million, which is

recorded as a deferred financing cost in the Company’sour condensed consolidated balance sheet. The CompanyWe also

remitted a certification to the lender that itsour aggregate debt service coverage ratio is not less than 1.2, thus the Company waswe were in compliance with all covenants under the mortgage loan. The interest rate for the one additional extension period will adjust based upon the 1-yearone-year swap rate at the time of extension and a fixed spread of 4.41%. and we would be required to remit another fee of 0.25% of the current outstanding principal balance.

On February 1, 2012, we repaid in full the mortgage on our property located in Canton, North Carolina in the amount of $2.3 million. We did not incur any prepayment penalties associated with the early repayment. The original maturity date of this mortgage was April 2030.

The fair value of all fixed-rate mortgage notes payable outstanding as of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 was $256,879,$274.8 million, as compared to the carrying value stated above of $266,008.$282.9 million. We evaluate the underlying collateral of the mortgage notes payable to ascertain the fair value of the collateral is not impaired. The fair value is calculated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates based on management’s estimate of market interest rates on long-term debt with comparable terms. The fair value was calculated using Level 3 inputs of the hierarchy established by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”.

The $45.2 million mortgage note issued in September 2008 was extended onto September 30, 2011 for an additional year. The Company expects2012. We expect to exercise the additional option to extend the maturity date until October 2013.

Line of Credit

In December 2010, the Companywe procured a $50,000 line$50.0 million Line of creditCredit (with Capital One, N.A. serving as a revolving lender, a letter of credit issuer and an administrative agent and Branch Banking and Trust Company serving as aan additional revolving lender and a letter of credit issuer), which matures on December 28, 2013. The lineLine of credit providesCredit originally provided for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $50,000$50.0 million with a standby letter of credit sublimit of up to $20,000. The line$20.0 million. On January 31, 2012, the Line of Credit was expanded to $75.0 million and Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania was added as a revolving lender and letter of credit may, upon satisfactionissuer. Currently, seven of certain conditions, be expanded up to $75,000. Currently, nine of the Company’sour properties are pledged as collateral under its lineour Line of credit.Credit. The interest rate per annum applicable to the lineLine of creditCredit is equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of up to 3.00%, depending upon the Company’sour leverage. The leverage ratio used in determining the applicable margin for interest on the lineLine of creditCredit is recalculated quarterly. The Company isWe are subject to an annual maintenance fee of 0.25% per year. The Company’sOur ability to access this source of financing is subject to its continued ability to meet customary lending requirements, such as compliance with financial and operating covenants and its meeting certain lending limits. One such covenant requires the Companyus to limit distributions to itsour stockholders to 95% of our FFO, with acquisition-related costs required to be

expensed under ASC 805 added back to FFO. In addition, the maximum amount the Companywe may draw under this agreement is based on a percentage of the value of properties pledged as collateral to the banks, which must meet agreed upon eligibility standards.

If and when long-term mortgages are arranged for these pledged properties, the banks will release the properties from the lineLine of creditCredit and reduce the availability under the lineLine of creditCredit by the advanced amount of the released property. Conversely, as the Company purchaseswe purchase new properties meeting the

eligibility standards, itwe may pledge these new properties to obtain additional availability under this agreement. The availability under the lineLine of creditCredit will also be reduced by letters of credit used in the ordinary course of business. The CompanyWe may use the advances under the lineLine of creditCredit for both general corporate purposes and the acquisition of new investments.

At September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, there was $9,100$0 outstanding under the lineLine of credit at an interest rate of 3.2%Credit and $5,050$6.1 million outstanding under letters of credit at a weighted average interest rate of 3.0%2.8%. At September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, the maximum amount the Companywe may draw was $45,483, leaving a remaining borrowing capacity available under the line of credit of $31,333. The Company was$22.1 million. We were in compliance with all covenants under the lineLine of creditCredit as of September 30, 2011.March 31, 2012. The amount outstanding on the lineLine of creditCredit as of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 approximates fair value, because the debt is short-termshort-term.

We incurred $1.8 million in total offering costs related to these transactions, which have been recorded as deferred financing fees on theCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and will be amortized over the redemption period ending January 31, 2017.

The Term Preferred Stock will be recorded as liability in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” which states that mandatorily redeemable financial instruments should be classified as liabilities and therefore the related dividend payments are treated as a component of interest expense in the statement of operations.

OVERVIEW

General

We wereare a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that was incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland on February 14, 2003, primarily for the purpose of investing in and owning net leased industrial, commercial and commercialretail real property and selectively making long-term industrial and commercial mortgage loans. Most of ourOur portfolio of real estate is leased to a wide cross section of tenants ranging from small businesses to large public companies, many of which are corporations that do not have publicly-rated debt. We have historically entered into, and intend in the future to enter into, purchase agreements for real estate having triple net leases with terms of approximately 10 to 15 years and built in rental rate increases. Under a triple net lease, the tenant is required to pay all operating, maintenance and insurance costs and real estate taxes with respect to the leased property. We are actively communicating with buyout funds, real estate brokers and other third parties to locate properties for potential acquisition or to provide mortgage financing in an effort to build our portfolio. We currently own 6973 properties totaling 7.07.1 million square feet, which have a total gross and net carrying value, including intangible assets, of $489.2$515.8 million and $416.4$435.5 million, respectively. We do not currently have any mortgage loans outstanding.

Business Environment

The United States continues to feel the lingering impact of the recession that began in late 2007; while the unemployment rate has decreased over the last several months, it still remains stubbornly high,higher than pre-recessionary levels. In addition, housing starts areremain low, there continues to be a large inventory of homes that need to be sold, and the economic situation in Europe will need to improvefurther stabilize for the economy to fully recover. As a result, conditions within the U.S. capital markets generally, and the U.S. real estate capital markets particularly, continue to experience significantcertain levels of dislocation and stress. While we are seeing signs of improvement in both the equity and debt capital markets, these markets remain somewhat challenging.

As a result, the continued challenging

These economic conditions could still materially and adversely impact the financial condition of one or more of our tenants and, therefore, could increase the likelihood that a tenant may declare bankruptcy or default upon its payment obligations arising under a related lease. For example,

the tenant occupying our building located in Hazelwood, Missouri declared bankruptcy in October 2010. The tenant did not confirm our lease in its bankruptcy proceedings in March 2011, and the final rent payment was received in April 2011. We are currently working to re-tenant this property. In addition, our building located in Richmond, Virginia remains vacant. The leases on these two vacant buildings comprised 2.4%2.0% of our annualized rental income as of March 31, 2012 and the annual carrying costs are $238,000.$0.3 million. We are actively seeking new tenants for these properties. All of our remaining properties are occupied and the tenants are paying in accordance with their leases.

Moreover, our ability to make new investments is highly dependent upon our ability to procure external financing. Our principal sources of external financing generally include the issuance of equity securities, long-term mortgage loans secured by properties and borrowings under our line of credit.credit, or the Line of Credit. The market for long-term mortgages has been limited for some time; however, we have recently seen mid-to-long-term (5 to 10 year) mortgages become more obtainable. The collateralized mortgage backed securities, or CMBS, market has been attempting to makemade a comeback in recent months, but it is much more conservative than it was prior to the recession and the pricing in the market remains somewhat volatile. As a result, we will likely not have the same level of access to the CMBS market that we had prior to the recession. Consequently, we are lookingcontinue to look primarily to regional banks, insurance companies and other non-bank lenders, and, to a lesser extent, the CMBS market to issue mortgages to finance our real estate activities.

Despite the challenges in the marketplace, we issued 2.2 million common shares during 2011 for gross proceeds of $39.4 million. In addition, in January 2012 we closed on $38.5 million of 7.125% Series C Cumulative Term Preferred Stock, or Term Preferred Stock, which is mandatorily redeemable in five years. We also assumed or issued $31.7 million in mid-term mortgages from regional banks during 2011 to finance some of our new properties. In April 2012, we closed a 10-year mortgage loan, collateralized by four properties, in the collateralized mortgage backed securities, or CMBS, marketplace.

On June 23, 2011,14, 2012, we extended the lease with the tenant occupying our propertiesproperty located in Angola, Indiana and Rock Falls, Illinois.San Antonio, Texas. The lease covering these propertiesthis property was extended for an additional three-yeareight-year period, thereby extending the lease until August 2023.through November 2021. The lease was originally set to expire in August 2020.February 2014. The lease provides for prescribed rent escalations over the life of the lease, with annualized straight line rents of approximately $345,000.$0.8 million. Furthermore, the lease grants the tenant threetwo options to extend the lease for a period of five years each. In connection with the extension of the lease and the modification of certain terms under the lease, we provided a tenant allowance of $0.6 million, payable over two years, and paid $0.3 million in leasing commissions.

Roseville, Minnesota: On February 27, 2012, we extended the lease with the tenant occupying our property located in Roseville, Minnesota. The new lease covers approximately one-third of this property and was extended for an additional five year period, through December 2017. The lease was originally set to expire in December 2012. The tenant in this property will pay rent on the entire building through the end of 2012, and we continue to search for new tenants to lease the remainder of the building. The new lease provides for prescribed rent escalations over the life of the lease, with annualized straight line rents of $1.2 million. Furthermore, the lease grants the tenant one option to extend the lease for a period of five years. In connection with the extension of the lease and the modification of certain terms under the lease, we provided a tenant allowance of $0.4 million, payable over two years, and paid $0.8 million in leasing commissions.

Equity Activities

On February 2, 2011, we closed on the sale of 725,000 shares of our common stock at $18.35 per share in an underwritten public offering of our common stock. Subsequently, on February 16, 2011, we closed on the sale of an additional 108,750 shares of common stock on the same terms and conditions in connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option. The net proceeds, including the over-allotment, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expensesequity issuances summarized below were $14.3 million. We used the proceeds of the offering to repay a portion of the outstanding balance under our line of credit and for general corporate purposes. The shares wereall issued under our effective shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC.

Preferred Equity:On June 15, 2011,February 1, 2012, we closed on the salecompleted a public offering of 1,200,0001,400,000 shares of our Term Preferred Stock, at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds of the offering totaled $35.0 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses borne by us, were $33.3 million and were used to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under our Line of Credit, for acquisitions of real estate and working capital. On February 8, 2012, the underwriters notified us of their intent to exercise their option to purchase an additional 140,000 shares of the Term Preferred Stock to cover over-allotments, which resulted in gross proceeds of $3.5 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, of $3.4 million received by us on February 10, 2012. The shares are traded under the ticker symbol GOODN on the NASDAQ. The Term Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security. Generally, we may not redeem shares of the Term Preferred Stock prior to January 31, 2016, except in limited circumstances to preserve our status as a REIT. On or after January 31, 2016, we may redeem the shares at a redemption price of $25 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to and including the date of redemption. The

shares of the Term Preferred Stock have a mandatory redemption date of January 31, 2017. In accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” mandatorily redeemable financial instruments should be classified as liabilities in the balance sheet and therefore we recorded the Term Preferred Stock as a liability and the related dividend payments as a component of interest expense in the statement of operations.

Senior Common Equity:During 2011 and 2012, we have issued 18,933 shares of our senior common stock at $17.55$15.00 per share in an underwrittenongoing best-efforts public offering of our common stock.

We can issue up to 3,000,000 shares of senior common stock and the offering will continue until the earlier of March 28, 2013 or the date on which 3,000,000 shares of senior common stock are sold. We have used the proceeds of the offering to repay a portion of the outstanding balance under our line of credit and for general corporate purposes. The shares were issued under our effective shelf registration statement on file with the SEC.

Diversity of Our Portfolio

Gladstone Management Corporation, or our Adviser, seeks to diversify our portfolio to avoid dependence on any one particular tenant, geographic market or tenant industry. By diversifying our portfolio, our Adviser intends to reduce the adverse effect on our portfolio of a single under-performing investment or a downturn in any particular industry or geographic market. Our largest tenant at September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 comprised 7.1%6.6% of our total rental income, and our largest concentration of properties was located in Ohio, which accounted for 17.2%16.1% of our total rental income. The table below reflects the breakdown of our total rental income by tenant industry classification for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2012 and 2011, and 2010, respectively:

Our Adviser and Administrator

Our Adviser is led by a management team which has extensive experience purchasing real estate and originating mortgage loans. Our Adviser is controlled by Mr. David Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer. Mr. Gladstone is also the chairman and chief executive officer of our Adviser. Terry Lee Brubaker, our vice chairman, chief operating officer, secretary and director, is a member of the boardBoard of directorsDirectors of our Adviser as well as its vice chairman and chief operating officer. George Stelljes III, our president, chief investment officer and director, is a member of the boardBoard of directorsDirectors of our Adviser and its president and chief investment officer. Gladstone Administration, LLC, or our Administrator, employs our chief financial officer and treasurer, chief compliance officer, internal counsel, treasurer, investor relations department and their respective staffs.

Our Adviser and Administrator also provide investment advisory and administrative services, respectively, to our affiliates, including, but not limited to, Gladstone Capital Corporation and Gladstone Investment Corporation, both publicly-traded business development companies, as well as Gladstone Land Corporation, a private agricultural real estate company. With the exception of our chief financial officer and treasurer, all of our executive officers serve as either directors or executive officers, or both, of Gladstone Capital Corporation and Gladstone Investment Corporation. Our treasurer is also an executive officer of Gladstone Securities, a broker-dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. In the future, our Adviser may provide investment advisory services to other funds, both public and private, of which it is the sponsor.

Advisory and Administration Agreements

We are externally managed pursuant to contractual arrangements with our Adviser and our Administrator. Our Adviser and Administrator employ all of our personnel and pay their payroll, benefits, and general expenses directly. We have an advisory agreement with our Adviser, or the Advisory Agreement, and an administration agreement with our Administrator, or the Administration Agreement.

Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, we are responsible for all expenses incurred for our direct benefit. Examples of these expenses include legal, accounting, interest on short-term debt and mortgages, tax preparation, directors’ and officers’ insurance, stock transfer services, stockholder-related fees, consulting and related fees. In addition, we are also responsible for all fees charged by third parties that are directly related to our business, which may include real estate brokerage fees, mortgage placement fees, lease-up fees and transaction structuring fees (although we may be able to pass some or all of such fees on to our tenants and borrowers).

During both the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2012 and 2011, and 2010, none of these third party expenses were incurred by us directly. The actual amount of such fees that we incur in the future will depend largely upon the aggregate costs of the properties that we acquire, the aggregate amount of mortgage loans that we make and the extent to which we are able to pass on such fees to our tenants and borrowers pursuant to the terms of the agreements. Accordingly, the amount of these fees that we will pay in the future is not determinable at this time.

Management Services and Fees under the Advisory Agreement

The Advisory Agreement provides for an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of our total stockholders’ equity, less the recorded value of any preferred stock, or total common stockholders’ equity, and for an incentive fee based on funds from operations, or FFO. Our Adviser does not charge acquisition or disposition fees when we acquire or dispose of properties as is common with other externally-advised REITs. Furthermore, there are no fees charged when our Adviser secures long or short term credit or arranges mortgage loans on our properties,properties; however, our Adviser may earn fee income from our borrowers or tenants or other sources.

For purposes of calculating the incentive fee, FFO includes any realized capital gains and capital losses, less any distributions paid on preferred stock and senior common stock, but FFO does not include any unrealized capital gains or losses. The incentive fee would reward our Adviser if our quarterly FFO, before giving effect to any incentive fee, or pre-incentive fee FFO, exceeds 1.75%, or the hurdle rate, of total common stockholders’ equity. We pay our Adviser an incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee FFO in each calendar quarter as follows:

 

no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our pre-incentive fee FFO does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.75% (7% annualized);

 

100% of the amount of the pre-incentive fee FFO that exceeds the hurdle rate, but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); and

20% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee FFO that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized).

The incentive fee may be reduced because of a covenant which exists in our lineLine of creditCredit agreement which limits distributions to our stockholders to 95% of FFO.FFO less those acquisition-related costs that are required to be expensed under Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 805, Business Combinations. In order to comply with this covenant, our Board of Directors accepted our Adviser’s offer to unconditionally, irrevocably and voluntarily waive on a quarterly basis a portion of the incentive fee for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2012 and 2011, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, which allowed us to maintain the current level of distributions to our stockholders. These waived fees may not be recouped by our Adviser in the future. Our Adviser has indicated that it intends to continue to waive all or a portion of the incentive fee in order to support the current level of distributions to our stockholders; however, our Adviser is not required to issue any such waiver, either in whole or in part.

Administration Agreement

Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, we pay for our allocable portion of our Administrator’s overhead expenses incurred while performing its obligations to us, including, but not limited to, rent and the salaries and benefits expenses of our personnel, including our chief financial officer and treasurer, chief compliance officer, internal counsel, treasurer, investor relations department and their respective staffs. Our allocable portion of expenses is generally derived by multiplying our Administrator’s total expenses by the percentage of our total assets at the beginning of each quarter in comparison to the total assets of all companies managed by our Adviser under similar agreements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make judgments that are subjective in nature in order to make certain estimates and assumptions. ManagementOur Adviser relies on its experience, collects historical and current market data and analyzes this information in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. Under different conditions or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported related to the accounting policies described below. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment regarding the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates. A summary of all of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Below is a summary of accounting polices involving estimates and assumptions that require complex, subjective or significant judgments in their application and that materially affect our results of operations.

Allocation of Purchase Price

When we acquire real estate, we allocate the purchase price, less any expenses related to the acquisition, to (i) the acquired tangible assets and liabilities, consisting of land, building, tenant improvements, long-term debt and (ii) the identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases, unamortized lease origination costs, tenant relationships and capital lease obligations, based in each case on their fair values. All expenses related to the acquisition are expensed as incurred, rather than capitalized into the cost of the acquisition as had been required by the previous accounting.

Management’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Factors considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management also includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, which primarily range from 9 to 18 months, depending on specific local market conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs are not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction. Management also considers the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and management’s expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors. A change in any of the assumptions above, which are very subjective, could have a material impact on our results of operations.

The allocation of the purchase price directly affects the following in our condensed consolidated financial statements:

 

The amount of purchase price allocated to the various tangible and intangible assets on our balance sheet;

 

The amounts allocated to the value of above-market and below-market lease values are amortized to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The amounts allocated to all other tangible and intangible assets are amortized to depreciation or amortization expense. Thus, depending on the amounts allocated between land and other depreciable assets, changes in the purchase price allocation among our assets could have a material impact on our FFO, a metric which is used by many REIT investors to evaluate our operating performance; and

 

The period of time over which tangible and intangible assets are depreciated varies greatly, and thus, changes in the amounts allocated to these assets will have a direct impact on our results of operations. Intangible assets are generally amortized over the respective life of the leases, which normally range from 10 to 15 years. Also, we depreciate our buildings over 39 years, but do not depreciate our land. These differences in timing could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Asset Impairment Evaluation

We periodically review the carrying value of each property to determine if circumstances that indicate impairment in the carrying value of the investment exist or that depreciation periods should be modified. In determining if impairment exists, management considers such factors as our tenants’ payment histories, the financial condition of our tenants, including calculating the current leverage ratios of tenants, the likelihood of lease renewal, business conditions in the industries in which our tenants operate and whether the carrying value of our real estate has decreased. If any of the factors above support the possibility of impairment, we prepare a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, of the specific property and determine if the carrying amount of such property is recoverable. In preparing the projection of undiscounted future cash flows, we estimate the holding periods of the properties and cap

rates using information that we obtain from market comparability studies and other comparable sources. If impairment were indicated, the carrying value of the property would be written down to its estimated fair value based on our best estimate of the property’s discounted future cash flows using assumptions from market participants. Any material changes to the estimates and assumptions used in this analysis could have a significant impact on our results of operations, as the changes would impact our determination of whether impairment is deemed to have occurred and the amount of impairment loss that we would recognize.

Using the methodology discussed above and in light of the current economic conditions discussed above in “OverviewBusiness Environment,” we evaluated our entire portfolio as of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 for any impairment indicators and performed an impairment analysis on those select properties that had an indication of impairment. As a result of this analysis, we concluded that none of our properties were impaired and we will continue to monitor our portfolio for any indicators that may change our conclusion.

Results of Operations

The weighted-average yield on our total portfolio, taking into account vacant properties, was 9.4%9.3% as of September 30, 2011.March 31, 2012. If all properties in the portfolio were fully occupied, the weighted-average yield would have been 9.6%9.4%, assuming returns on our vacant buildings remainremained steady, as of September 30, 2011.March 31, 2012. The weighted-average yield on our portfolio is calculated by taking the annualized straight-line rents, reflected as rental income on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, of each acquisition as a percentage of the acquisition. The weighted-average yield does not account for the interest expense incurred on the mortgages placed on our properties.

Other Income and Expense

Interest income on employee loans decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.March 31, 2011. This decrease was a result of loan payoffsprincipal repayments made by employees during 2010 and 2011, coupled with other principal repayments made duringof our Adviser over the periods.past 12 months.

Other income decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, because of $3.3 million in additionalsettlement income and prepayment fees we received in connection with2011 from the early repayment ofprevious tenant in our mortgage loan in July 2010.South Hadley, Massachusetts property related to repairs needed for the parking lot at the building.

This decreaseincrease was primarily a result of the 2.3% decreasean increase in the interest rate charged on our $45.2 million mortgage loan thatin October 2011 of 0.18% when the mortgage loan was renewed in September 2010, coupled with interest on the $31.7 million of mortgage debt assumed and issued during 2011. This was partially offset by reduced interest expense on our long-term financings from amortizing principal payments made during 20102011 and 2011, partially offset by interest on mortgage debt assumed in December 2010 and June 2011.the first three months of 2012.

Net income available to common stockholders decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, primarily because of increased interest expense and increased distributions to our preferred stockholders from the $3.3 million in additional income that was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2010 related to the early repaymentissuance of our mortgage loan,Term Preferred Stock, partially offset by an increase in rental income earned from the write-off of $1.6 million of fees relatedeight properties acquired subsequent to the termination of the private offering of unregistered senior common stock in 2010. Net income available to common stockholders increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily because of the decrease in the net incentive fee coupled with a reduction in interest expense and a reduction in general and administrative expenses due to the write-off of fees related to the termination of the private offering of unregistered senior common stock in 2010, partially offset by $3.3 million in additional income that was recognized during 2010.March 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our sources of liquidity include cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our lineLine of credit,Credit, obtaining mortgages on our unencumbered properties and issuing additional equity securities. Our available liquidity at September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 was $33.7$27.8 million, including $2.4$5.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and an available borrowing capacity of $31.3$22.1 million under our lineLine of credit.Credit.

Future Capital Needs

We actively seek conservative investments that are likely to produce income in order to pay distributions as well as attractive long-term capital gains forto our stockholders. If we are able to raise, procure or borrow additional equity and debt capital, we wouldWe intend to use the proceeds of future equity raised and debt capital borrowed to continue to invest in industrial, commercial and retail real property, make mortgage loans, repurchase shares of our preferred stock on the open market or pay down outstanding borrowings under our lineLine of credit.Credit. Accordingly, to ensure that we are able to effectively execute our business strategy, we routinely review our liquidity requirements and continually evaluate all potential sources of liquidity. Our short-term liquidity needs include proceeds necessary to fund our distributions to stockholders, pay the debt servicesservice costs on our existing long-term mortgages, and fund our current operating costs. Our long-term liquidity needs include proceeds necessary to grow and maintain our portfolio of investments.

We believe that our available liquidity is sufficient to fund our distributions to stockholders, pay the debt service costs on our existing long-term mortgages and fund our current operating costs in the near term. We further believe that our cash flow from operations coupled with the potential financing capital available to us in the future are sufficient to fund our long-term liquidity needs. Additionally, to satisfy either our short-term or long-term obligations or both, we may require credits to our management fees that are issued from our Adviser, although our Adviser is under no obligation to provide any such credits, either in whole or in part.

Equity Capital

Equity capital markets continue to improve. As a result, we were able to raise $3.4 million of common equity pursuant to our Open Market Sales Agreement with Jefferies during 2010. We have not sold any common shares under our Open Market Agreement during 2011; however, we raised, net of offering costs, $14.3$37.0 million of common equity during 2011. We also raised $36.7 million of preferred equity, net of offering costs, in February 2011 and another $22.7 million of common equity in June and July 2011. See “Overview – Recent Developments” above.2012. We used these proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding balance of the lineLine of credit,Credit, to acquire additional properties and the remainder for general corporate and working capital needs.

Currently, we have the ability to raise up to $257.2$218.7 million of additional equity capital through the sale of securities that are registered under our universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3, (the “Universal

Shelf”)or the Universal Shelf, in one or more future public offerings. Of the $257.2$218.7 million of available capacity under our Universal Shelf, $21.6 million of common stock is reserved for additional sales under our Open Market Sale Agreement and $52.5$52.2 million is reserved for sales of our Senior Common Stock.

Debt Capital

As of September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, we had 1820 fixed-rate mortgage notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $266.9$282.9 million, collateralized by a total of 5658 properties with terms at issuance ranging from 2 years to 25 years. The weighted-average interest rate on the mortgage notes payable as of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 was 5.71%5.72%.

We believe thatGenerally banks are recommencing their general lending practices and the CMBS market is slowly returning, see the discussion in “OverviewOverview – Business Environment”Environment above. Specifically, we are beginning to seeseeing banks and other non-bank lenders that are willing to issue medium to long-term mortgages, between 5 and 10 years, albeit on less favorable terms than were previously available. Consequently, we are focused on obtaining mortgages through both regional banks, non-bank lenders and CMBS.

We have mortgage debt in the aggregate principal amount of $0.7$3.0 million payable during the remainder of 20112012 and $4.0$58.1 million payable during 2012. This2013. The 2012 principal amount payable does not include $45.2 million of balloon principal payments maturing on one of our long-term mortgages in 2012; however, this mortgage has one remaining annual extension option through 2013, and we intend to exercise this option in 2012. As long as we are in compliance with certain covenants under the mortgage loan, we will be able to exercise the renewal option.option and will be required to pay a fee of 0.25% of the current outstanding principal balance, or approximately $0.1 million. The mortgage payments due in 2011 and 2012 are solely comprised of debt amortization payments. We have no balloon principal payments due under any of our other mortgage loans until 2013.2013 and these are not due until the fourth quarter of 2013; however, we are initiating conversations with lenders in advance of these maturities and anticipate being able to extend the maturity dates or refinance with new lenders. We intend to pay the 2012 debt amortization payments from operating cash flow and borrowings under our lineLine of credit.Credit.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 was $14.4$5.6 million, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $13.9$4.7 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010.March 31, 2011. This increase was primarily a result of the $750,000 lease modification fee received from the tenant located in our properties in Georgia in connection with the extension of their lease in January 2011, coupled with rental income received from the threeeight properties acquired subsequent to September 30, 2010. This wasMarch 31, 2011, partially offset by expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 related to our terminated offering$1.1 million of our unregistered senior common stock, which were not incurred in 2011, two vacancies in our properties during 2011, coupled with the lost interest income from the repayment of our mortgage loan in 2010.leasing commissions paid for renewing existing leases. The majority of cash from operating activities is generated from the rental payments that we receive from our tenants. We utilize this cash to fund our property-level operating expenses and use the excess cash primarily for debt and interest payments on our mortgage notes payable, interest payments on our lineLine of credit,Credit, distributions to our stockholders, management fees to our Adviser, and other entity-level expenses.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 was $18.4$12.6 million, which primarily consisted of the acquisition of two properties in 2011,one property during the three months ended March 31, 2012, coupled with tenant improvements performed at certain of our properties and net payments to our lenders for reserves, as compared to net cash provided byused in investing activities during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 of $9.7$1.0 million, which primarily consisted of the repaymenttenant improvements performed at certain of our $10.0 million mortgage loan, partially offset byproperties, net payments to our lenders for reserves and tenant improvements performed at certain of our properties.deposits placed on future acquisitions.

Financing Activities

Net cash used inprovided by financing activities forduring the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 was $0.7$9.3 million, which primarily consisted of proceeds from the sale of our Term Preferred Stock, partially offset by distributions paid to our stockholders, principal repayments on mortgage notes payable and net repayments on our lineLine of credit, partially offsetCredit. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $3.6 million, which primarily consisted of proceeds from the sale of

common stock. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $23.4 million, which primarily consisted ofstock, partially offset by distributions paid to our stockholders, principal repayments on mortgage notes payable and net repayments toon our lineLine of credit, partially offset by proceeds from sales of common and senior common stock.Credit.

Line of Credit

In December 2010, we procured a $50.0 million lineLine of creditCredit maturing on December 28, 2013, with Capital One, N.A. serving as a revolving lender, a letter of credit issuer and as an administrative agent and Branch Banking and Trust Company serving as a revolving lender and a letter of credit issuer. The lineLine of credit providesCredit originally provided for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $50.0 million, with a standby letter of credit sublimit of up to $20.0 million. The lineIn January 2012, the Line of Credit was expanded to $75.0 million and Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania was added as a revolving lender and letter of credit may, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, be expanded up to $75.0 million.issuer. Currently, nineseven of our properties are pledged as collateral under our lineLine of credit.Credit. The interest rate per annum applicable to the lineLine of creditCredit is equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of up to 3.00% depending upon our leverage. Our leverage ratio used in determining the applicable margin for interest on the lineLine of creditCredit is recalculated quarterly. We are subject to an annual maintenance fee of 0.25% per year. Our ability to access this source of financing is subject to our continued ability to meet customary lending requirements such as compliance with financial and operating covenants and our meeting certain lending limits. One such covenant requires us to limit distributions to our stockholders to 95% of our FFO, with acquisition-related costs required to be expensed under ASC 805 added back to FFO.FFO for covenant purposes. In addition, the maximum amount that we may draw under this agreement is based on a percentage of the value of properties pledged as collateral to the banks, which must meet agreed upon eligibility standards.

If and whenWhen we are able to procure mortgages for these pledged properties, the banks will release the properties from the lineLine of creditCredit and reduce the availability under the lineLine of creditCredit by the advanced amount of the released property. Conversely, as we purchase new properties meeting the eligibility standards, we may pledge these new properties to obtain additional advances under this agreement. Our availability under the lineLine of creditCredit will also be reduced by letters of credit used in the ordinary course of business. We may use the advances under the lineLine of creditCredit for both general corporate purposes and the acquisition of new investments.

At September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, there was $9.1 million$0 outstanding under the lineLine of credit at an interest rate of 3.2%Credit and $5.1$6.1 million outstanding under letters of credit at a weighted average interest rate of 3.0%2.8%. At September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, the remaining borrowing capacity available under the lineLine of creditCredit was $31.3$22.1 million. Our ability to increase the availability under our lineLine of creditCredit is dependent upon our pledging additional properties as collateral. Traditionally, we have pledged new properties to the lineLine of creditCredit as we arrange for long-term mortgages for these pledged properties. Currently, only eleven11 of our properties do not have long-term mortgages, and nine7 of those are pledged as collateral under our lineLine of credit.Credit. Accordingly, we have only two4 properties which are unencumbered, and which may be pledged as collateral to increase the borrowing capacity available under the lineLine of credit.Credit. We were in compliance with all covenants under the lineLine of creditCredit as of September 30, 2011.March 31, 2012.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2011.March 31, 2012.

Funds from Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an equity REIT, in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the same basis determined under GAAP. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property and impairment losses on property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. Comparison of FFO, using the NAREIT definition, to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.

FFO available to common stockholders is FFO adjusted to subtract distributions made to holders of preferred and senior common stock. We believe that net income available to common stockholders is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO available to common stockholders.

Basic funds from operations per share, or Basic FFO per share, and diluted funds from operations per share, or Diluted FFO per share, is FFO available to common stockholders divided by the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding and FFO available to common stockholders divided by the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on a diluted basis, respectively, during a period. We believe that FFO available to common stockholders, Basic FFO per share and Diluted FFO per share are useful to investors because they provide investors with a further context for evaluating our FFO results in the same manner that investors use net income and earnings per share, or EPS, in evaluating net income available to common stockholders. In addition, because most REITs provide FFO available to common stockholders, Basic FFO and Diluted FFO per share information to the investment community, we believe these are useful supplemental measures when comparing us to other REITs. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO, Basic EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Basic FFO per share, and that diluted EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Diluted FFO per share.

The following table provides a reconciliation of our FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2012 and 2011, and 2010, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, and a computation of basic and diluted FFO per weighted average share of common stock and basic and diluted net income per weighted average share of common stock:

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. The primary risk that we believe we are and will be exposed to is interest rate risk. Certain5 of our 58 leases contain escalations based on market interest rates, and the interest rate on our existing lineLine of creditCredit is variable. Although we seek to mitigate this risk by structuring such provisions of our loans and leases to contain a minimum interest rate or escalation rate, as applicable, these features do not eliminate this risk. We have not entered into any derivative contracts to attempt to further manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

To illustrate the potential impact of changes in interest rates on our net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, we have performed the following analysis, which assumes that our balance sheet remains constant and that no further actions beyond a minimum interest rate or escalation rate are taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity.

The following table summarizesWe analyzed the impact of a 1%, 2% and 3% increase in the one month LIBOR for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011.March 31, 2012. Due to the fact that our line of credit balance was $0 as of March 31, 2012, thus there was no impact to interest expense from the stress testing. In addition, there was no impact on rental income because of the interest rate floors present in our LIBOR leases. As of September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, our effective average LIBOR was 0.23%0.24%; thus, a 1%, 2% or 3% decrease could not occur.

As of September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, the fair value of our fixed rate debt outstanding was $256.9$274.8 million. Interest rate fluctuations may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt instruments. If interest rates on our fixed rate debt instruments, using rates at September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, had been one percentage point higher or lower, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have decreased or increased by $8.5$8.7 million and $8.9$9.1 million, respectively.

In the future, we may be exposed to additional effects of interest rate changes, primarily as a result of our lineLine of creditCredit or long-term mortgage debt, which we use to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we will borrow 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. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate the interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our real estate is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees and borrowers, all of which may affect our ability to refinance debt, if necessary.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of necessarily achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us or our subsidiaries.

 

Item 1A.Risk Factors

Our business is subject to certain risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our common stock. For a discussion of these risks, please review the risk below and refer to the section captioned “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010,2011, filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2011 and the risk factor below.

The recent downgrade of the United States (the “U.S.”) credit rating and the economic crisis in Europe could negatively impact our liquidity, financial condition and earnings.

Recent U.S. debt ceiling and budget deficit concerns, together with signs of deteriorating sovereign debt conditions in Europe, have increased the possibility of additional credit-rating downgrades and economic slowdowns. Although U.S. lawmakers passed legislation to raise the federal debt ceiling, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating on the U.S. from “AAA” to “AA+” in August 2011. The impact of this or any further downgrades to the U.S. government’s sovereign credit rating, or its perceived creditworthiness, and the impact of the current crisis in Europe with respect to the ability of certain European Union countries to continue to service their sovereign debt obligations is inherently unpredictable and could adversely affect the U.S. and global financial markets and economic conditions. There can be no assurance that governmental or other measures to aid economic recovery will be effective. These developments and the government’s credit concerns in general, could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. In addition, the decreased credit rating could create broader financial turmoil and uncertainty, which may weigh heavily on our stock price. Continued adverse economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.February 28, 2012.
