Gladstone Commercial Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Gladstone Commercial Corporation is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that was incorporated under the General Corporation Laws of the State of Maryland on February 14, 2003, primarily for the purpose of investing in and owning net leased industrial, commercial and retail real property and selectively making long-term industrial and commercial mortgage loans. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is managed by Gladstone Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or the Adviser, and administrative services are provided by Gladstone Administration, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or the Administrator, each pursuant to a contractual arrangement with us. Our Adviser and Administrator collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly. Gladstone Commercial Corporation conducts substantially all of its operations through a subsidiary, Gladstone Commercial Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, or the Operating Partnership.

All further references herein to “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” mean Gladstone Commercial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where it is made clear that the term means only Gladstone Commercial Corporation.

Interim Financial Information

Our interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or 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. The year-end balance sheet data presented herein was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair presentation 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 18, 2015. The results of operations for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S., or GAAP requires management to make judgments that are subjective in nature to make certain estimates and assumptions. 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 differ materially from these estimates. A summary of all of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in our 2014 Form 10-K. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU-2015-02”), which amends or supersedes the scope and consolidation guidance under existing GAAP. The new standard changes the way a reporting entity evaluates whether a) limited partnerships and similar entities should be consolidated, b) fees paid to decision makers or service provides are variable interests in a variable interest entity, or VIE, and c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties require the reporting entity to consolidate the VIE. ASU 2015-02 also eliminates the VIE consolidation model based on majority exposure to variability that applied to certain investment companies and similar entities. We are currently assessing thedo not anticipate a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows from adopting this standard. ASU 2015-02 which is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early2015, with early adoption is permitted.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU-2015-03”), which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2015-03 and do not anticipate a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows from adopting this standard. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early2015 with early adoption permitted.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30)” (“ASU 2015-15”), which codifies an SEC staff announcement that entities are permitted to defer and present debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements as assets. We have assessed the impact of ASU 2015-15 and identified no impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows from adopting this standard. ASU 2015-15 was effective immediately.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments” (“ASU 2015-16”), pertaining to entities that have reported provisional amounts for items in a business combination for which the accounting is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs and during the measurement period have an adjustment to provisional amounts recognized. The guidance requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Any adjustments should be calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2015-16 do not anticipate a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows from adopting this standard. ASU 2015-16 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted.

2. Related-Party Transactions

Gladstone Management and Gladstone Administration

We are externally managed pursuant to contractual arrangements with our Adviser and our Administrator, which collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly. Both our Adviser and Administrator are affiliates of ours, as their parent company is controlled by Mr. David Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer. We have an advisory agreement with our Adviser, and an administration agreement with our Administrator, or the Administration Agreement. The management and administrative services and fees under the advisory agreement and Administration Agreement are described below. At JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $1.7$1.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, was collectively due to our Adviser and Administrator.

Base Management Fee

On July 24, 2015, we entered into an amended and restated advisory agreement, or the Amended Advisory Agreement, with the Adviser. Our entrance into the agreement was approved unanimously by our Board of Directors, including separate and unanimous approval by the independent directors on our Board.Board of Directors.

Prior to its amendment and restatement on July 24, 2015, our then-existing advisory agreement with the Adviser, or the Former Advisory Agreement, provided for an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of our common stockholders’ equity, which is our total stockholders’ equity, less the recorded value of any preferred stock and adjusted to exclude the effect of any unrealized gains, losses, or other items that do not affect realized net income (including impairment charges). Under the Former Advisory Agreement, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a base management fee of $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a base management fee of $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Advisory Agreement, effective July 1, 2015, the calculation of the annual base management fee shall equalequals 1.5% of our adjusted total stockholders’ equity, which is our total stockholders’ equity (before giving effect to the base management fee and incentive fee), adjusted to exclude the effect of any unrealized gains or losses that do not affect realized net income (including impairment charges) and adjusted for any one-time events and certain non-cash items (the later to occur for a given quarter only upon the approval of our Compensation Committee). The fee is calculated and accrued quarterly as 0.375% per quarter of such adjusted total stockholders’ equity figure.

Incentive Fee

The incentive fee underPrior to its amendment and restatement on July 24, 2015, our then-existing advisory agreement with the Adviser, or the Former Advisory Agreement, rewarded the Adviser in circumstances where our quarterly FFO, before giving effectprovided for an annual base management fee equal to any incentive fee, or pre-incentive fee FFO, exceeded 1.75%, or

7.0% annualized, or the hurdle rate, of common stockholders’ equity. Funds from operations, or FFO, included any realized capital gains and capital losses, less any distributions paid on preferred stock and Senior Common Stock, but FFO did not include any unrealized capital gains or losses (including impairment charges). The Adviser received 100.0% of the amount of the pre-incentive fee FFO that exceeded the hurdle rate, but was less than 2.1875%2.0% of our common stockholders’ equity. The Adviser also received an incentive feeequity, which was our total stockholders’ equity, less the recorded value of 20.0%any preferred stock and adjusted to exclude the effect of the amount of our pre-incentive fee FFOany unrealized gains, losses, or other items that exceeded 2.1875% of common stockholders’ equity.did not affect realized net income (including impairment charges).

For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, pursuant to the terms of the Former Advisory Agreement we recorded an incentivea base management fee of $1.8$0.9 million and $3.4$2.6 million, respectively, offset by credits related to unconditional, voluntary and irrevocable waivers issued by the Adviser of $1.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, resulting in a net incentive fee for the three and sixnine months ended June 30, 2015, of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, we recorded an incentivea base management fee of $1.5$0.7 million and $2.8$2.0 million, respectively, offset by credits related to unconditional, voluntary and irrevocable waivers issued by the Adviser of $1.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, resulting in a net incentive fee for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Our Board of Directors accepted the Adviser’s offer to waive, on a quarterly basis, a portion of the incentive fee for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, and 2014, in order to support the current level of distributions to our stockholders. This waiver cannot be recouped by the Adviser in the future.

Incentive Fee

Under the Amended Advisory Agreement, effective July 1, 2015, the calculation of the incentive fee was revised to reward the Adviser in circumstances where our quarterly Core FFO (defined below)at the end of this paragraph), before giving effect to any incentive fee, or pre-incentive fee Core FFO, exceeds 2.0%, quarterly, or 8.0% annualized, of adjusted total stockholders’ equity (after giving effect to the base management fee but before giving effect to the incentive fee), or. We refer to this as the new hurdle rate. The Adviser will receive 15.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee Core FFO that exceeds the new hurdle rate. However, in no event shall the incentive fee for a particular quarter exceed by 15.0% (the cap) the average quarterly incentive fee paid by us for the previous four quarters (excluding quarters for which no incentive fee was paid). Core FFO is defined as GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders, excluding the incentive fee, depreciation and amortization, any realized and unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period, and one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP.

The incentive fee under the Former Advisory Agreement rewarded the Adviser in circumstances where our quarterly FFO, before giving effect to any incentive fee, or pre-incentive fee FFO, exceeded 1.75%, or 7.0% annualized, or the hurdle rate, of common stockholders’ equity. Funds from operations, or FFO, included any realized capital gains and capital losses, less any distributions paid on preferred stock and Senior Common Stock, but FFO did not include any unrealized capital gains or losses (including impairment charges). The Adviser received 100.0% of the amount of the pre-incentive fee FFO that exceeded the hurdle rate, but was less than 2.1875% of our common stockholders’ equity. The Adviser also received an incentive fee of 20.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee FFO that exceeded 2.1875% of common stockholders’ equity.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded an incentive fee of $0.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively, offset by credits related to unconditional, voluntary and irrevocable waivers issued by the Adviser of $0.00 and $2.5 million, respectively, resulting in a net incentive fee for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, of $0.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded an incentive fee of $1.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively, offset by credits related to unconditional, voluntary and irrevocable waivers issued by the Adviser of $0.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, resulting in a net incentive fee for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, of $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Our Board of Directors accepted the Adviser’s offer to waive, on a quarterly basis, a portion of the incentive fee for the six months covering January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, in order to support the current level of distributions to our stockholders. Due to the Amended Advisory agreement, the Advisor did not waive any portion of the incentive fee for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Waivers cannot be recouped by the Adviser in the future.

Capital Gain Fee

Under the Amended Advisory Agreement, effective July 1, 2015, we will pay to the Adviser a capital gains-based incentive fee that will be calculated and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the agreement). In determining the capital gain fee, we will calculate aggregate realized capital gains and aggregate realized capital losses for the applicable time period. For this purpose, aggregate realized capital gains and losses, if any, equals the realized gain or loss calculated by the difference between the sales price of the property, less any costs to sell the property and the current gross value of the property (which is calculated as the original acquisition price plus any subsequent non-reimbursed capital improvements). At the end of the fiscal year, if this number is positive, then the capital gain fee payable for such time period shall equal 15.0% of such amount. We did not incur a capital gain fee for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Termination Fee

The Amended Advisory Agreement includes a termination fee where,whereby, in the event of our termination of the agreement without cause (with 120 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), a termination fee would be payable to the Adviser equal to two times the sum of the average annual base management fee and incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the 24-month period prior to such termination. A termination fee is also payable if the Adviser terminates the agreement after the Company has defaulted and applicable cure periods have expired. The agreement may also be terminated for cause by us (with 30 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), with no termination fee payable. Cause is defined in the agreement to include if the Adviser breaches any material provisions of the agreement, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Adviser, dissolution of the Adviser and fraud or misappropriation of funds.

Administration Agreement

Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, we pay for our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses in performing services to us, including, but not limited to, rent and the salaries and benefits of its personnel, including our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary (who also serves as our Administrator’s president), and their respective staffs. Prior to July 1, 2014, our allocable portion was generally derived by multiplying that portion of the Administrator’s expenses allocable to all funds managed by the Adviser by the percentage of our total assets at the beginning of each quarter in comparison to the total assets of all funds managed by the Adviser. As approved by our Board of Directors, effective July 1, 2014, our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses is derived by multiplying our Administrator’s total expenses by the approximate percentage of time the Administrator’s employees perform services for us in relation to their time spent performing services for all companies serviced by our Administrator under contractual agreements. For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, we recorded an administration fee of $0.4$0.3 million and $0.7$1.1 million, respectively, and for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, we recorded an administration fee of $0.5$0.3 million and $1.0$1.2 million, respectively.

Gladstone Securities

Gladstone Securities, LLC, or Gladstone Securities, is a privately held broker dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Gladstone Securities is an affiliate of ours, as its parent company is controlled by Mr. David Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer. Mr. Gladstone also serves on the board of managers of Gladstone Securities.

Dealer Manager Agreement

In connection with the offering of our Senior Common Stock (see Note 10, “Stockholders’ Equity,” for further details) we entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement, dated March 25, 2011, or the Dealer Manager Agreement, with Gladstone Securities pursuant to which Gladstone Securities agreed to act as our exclusive dealer manager in connection with the offering. The Dealer Manager Agreement terminated

according to its terms on March 28, 2015, requiring us to write-off $0.1 million of deferred offering costs to general and administrative expense. Pursuant to the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement, Gladstone Securities was entitled to receive a sales commission in the amount of 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the shares of Senior Common Stock sold, plus a dealer manager fee in the amount of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the shares of Senior Common Stock sold. Gladstone Securities, in its sole and absolute discretion, was permitted to re-allocate all of its selling commissions attributable to a participating broker-dealer and also re-allocate a portion of its dealer manager fee earned in respect of the proceeds generated by the participating broker-dealer to any participating broker-dealer as a non-accountable marketing allowance. In addition, we agreed to indemnify Gladstone Securities against various liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the federal securities laws. We made approximately $0.3 million of payments during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and we made approximately $0.1$0.3 million and $0.4 million of payments during both the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, respectively, to Gladstone Securities pursuant to this agreement. All such payments are reflected as a component of Senior Common Stock costs as reflected in footnote 10.

Mortgage Financing Arrangement Agreement

We also entered into an agreement with Gladstone Securities, effective June 18, 2013, for it to act as our non-exclusive agent to assist us with arranging mortgage financing for properties we own. In connection with this engagement, Gladstone Securities may from time to time solicit the interest of various commercial real estate lenders or recommend to us third party lenders offering credit products or packages that are responsive to our needs. We pay Gladstone Securities a financing fee in connection with the services it

provides to us for securing mortgage financing on any of our properties. The amount of these financing fees, which are payable upon closing of the financing, are based on a percentage of the amount of the mortgage, generally ranging from 0.15% to a maximum of 1.0% of the mortgage obtained. The amount of the financing fees may be reduced or eliminated, as determined by us and Gladstone Securities, after taking into consideration various factors, including, but not limited to, the involvement of any third party brokers and market conditions. We paid financing fees to Gladstone Securities of $0.1$0.02 million and $0.2 million during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, which are reflected as deferred financing costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, on total mortgages secured of $40.5$9.2 million and $55.1$64.3 million, or 0.3%. of total mortgages secured. We paid financing fees of $0.02 million and $0.1 million during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, on total mortgages secured of $27.5$6.1 million and $33.6 million, or 0.3%. of total mortgages secured. The agreement is scheduled to terminate on August 31, 2016, unless renewed or earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions contained therein.

3. (Loss) EarningsLoss per Share of Common Stock

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted (loss) earningsloss per share of common stock for each of the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We computed basic (loss) earningsloss per share for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted (loss) earningsloss per share for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and 2014, reflects additional shares of common stock related to our convertible Senior Common Stock (if the effect would be dilutive), that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued, as well as an adjustment to net income available to common stockholders as applicable to common stockholders that would result from their assumed issuance (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts).

The current tenant retained 18.0% of the space. Therefore, the building is approximately 93.0% occupied. The lease commenced on August 1, 2015 and will expire on December 31, 2027. The new lease provides for prescribed rent escalations over its life, with annualized straight line rents of approximately $0.5 million. The lease grants the tenant two extension options for an additional five years each. In connection with the execution of the lease, we provided $0.8 million in tenant improvements and $0.4 million in leasing commissions.

Real Estate Held for Sale

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, we classified onefive of our properties, which are located in Columbus, OhioOhio; Dayton, Ohio; Hialeah, Florida; Columbia, Missouri; and Birmingham, Alabama, as held for sale under the provisions of ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” which requires that the assets and liabilities of any such properties, be presented separately in our condensed consolidated balance sheet in the current period presented. WeIn each case, we either executed a purchase and sale agreement with thea third party purchaser, andor we have currently listed the property for sale with a third party broker. We anticipate the saleall sales to close during the fourth quarter of 2015. TheWith the exception of the Dayton, Ohio property, the respective agreed upon purchase price, net of expected costs to sell, is in excess of the carrying valuevalues of theeach property as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, and thus the property wasproperties were measured at itstheir carrying value in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015 in accordance with ASC 360-10.

6. Mortgage Note ReceivableImpairment Charges

On April 14, 2015,We determined that our Dayton, Ohio property should be classified as held for sale during the third quarter of 2015. In determining a market value for this particular property we closed a $0.3used the sales comparison approach. Subsequently, we identified that the fair value for this particular property was below the carrying value of this property as of September 30, 2015. Accordingly, we reduced the carrying value of this property to its estimated fair value, less cost to sell, and we recognized an impairment loss of $0.6 million interim financing loanduring the quarter ended September 30, 2015. We performed an analysis of our planned real estate dispositions and impaired property for the acquisitionquarter ended September 30, 2015 and determined that these properties should not be classified as discontinued operations as neither constituted a strategic shift in our operations in accordance with ASU 2014-08. We continue to monitor our portfolio for any other indicators of land to be used for continuing development of a medical center campus in Phoenix, Arizona. This loan is collateralized by proceeds from the future sale of the transitional care facility for which we provided a mortgage development loan on July 25, 2014. We will earn interest of 22.0% per annum through the maturity date, with all accrued interest and principal payable upon maturity. This loan matures upon the earlier of April 2016 or the sale of the transitional care facility, which is anticipated to occur in October 2015. We have recognized approximately $0.01 million in interest revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2015.impairment.

Refinancing

On June 29,July 1, 2015, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we refinancedrepaid our $19.1$11.3 million mortgage loan,on our Canton, Dayton, and Akron, Ohio properties. The mortgage was originally set to mature on September 1, 2015. This note had an original interest rate of 5.3% and was collateralized by security interests in our Charlotte, North Carolina and Duncan, South Carolina properties. We borrowed $19.8$1.7 million in the refinancing pursuant to a long-term note payable from Synovus Bank.Bank to refinance a portion of this debt. The new loan is variable rate in which the interest rate resets monthly and is calculated as the one month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus a margin of 2.25%. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with Synovus Bank which capsto hedge against the variability of the LIBOR rate, at 3.0%. Asa cost of June 30, 2015,approximately $0.07 million through July 1, 2018. We will receive payments from Synovus Bank if the one month LIBOR was 0.19%rate increases above 3.0%. The new note has a maturity date of July 1, 2018, with one, two-year extension option.

Interest Rate Cap

We have entered into an interest rate cap agreement with Wells Fargoagreements that caps the interest rate on the notecertain of our notes payable for our Champaign, Illinois property at a certain interest rate when one-month LIBOR is in excess of 3.0%. The fair value of the interest rate cap agreementagreements is recorded in Otherother assets on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. We record changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap agreementagreements quarterly based on the current market valuations at quarter end as Other income (loss)interest expense on our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Generally, we will estimate the fair value of our interest rate cap using estimates of value provided by the counterparty and our own assumptionscaps, in the absence of observable market data, using estimates of value including estimated remaining life, counterparty credit risk, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date.

Fair Value

The fair value of all mortgage notes payable outstanding as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015 was $498.6$495.6 million, as compared to the carrying value stated above of $486.8$482.9 million. 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 and loan to value ratios. The fair value was calculated using Level 3 inputs of the hierarchy established by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

The amount outstanding under the Line of Credit approximates fair value as of September 30, 2015, because the debt is subject to a variable interest rate, determined by market forces, as well as a recently renewed interest rate spread.

Line of Credit

In August 2013, we procured a $60.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the Line of Credit, which was expanded to $75.0 million in November 2014, with KeyBank National Association (serving as a revolving lender, a letter of credit issuer and an administrative agent) and added Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania and Comerica Banks as additional lenders.

The. On October 5, 2015, we expanded our Line of Credit initiallyto $85.0 million and extended the maturity date 1-year through August 2018, with a 1-year extension option through August 2019. We also added a $25.0 million 5-year term loan facility, which matures in August 2017; however, we have a one-year extension option subject toOctober 2020. The interest rate on the paymentrevolving line of an extension fee equal tocredit was also reduced by 25 basis points onat each of the initial maturity dateleverage tiers and certain other customary conditions.the total maximum commitment under the two facilities was increased from $100.0 million to $150.0 million. We also added 3 new lenders to the bank syndicate, which is now comprised of KeyBank, Comerica Banks, Fifth Third Bank, US Bank and Huntington Bank. We were subject to payment of $0.5 million for the modification of the agreement.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, there was $45.2$55.5 million outstanding under our Line of Credit at an interest rate of approximately 2.94% and $3.9 million outstanding under letters of credit at a weighted average interest rate of 2.75%.

11.10. Subsequent Events

On July 1, 2015, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we repaid our $11.3 million mortgage on our Canton, Dayton, and Akron, Ohio properties. The mortgage was originally set to mature on September 1, 2015. We borrowed $1.7 million pursuant to a long-term note payable from Synovus bank to refinance a portion of this debt. The new loan is variable rate and we entered into an interest rate cap with Synovus Bank to hedge against the variability of the LIBOR rate, at a cost of approximately $0.07 million through July 1, 2018. We will receive payments from Synovus Bank if the one month LIBOR rate increases above 3.0%.

General

We are an externally-advised 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 retail real property and selectively making long-term industrial and commercial mortgage loans. Our 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 107 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 actively communicate 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 101102 properties totaling 11.111.2 million square feet, which have a total gross and net carrying value, including intangible assets and properties held for sale, of $945.9$943.1 million and $796.7$784.9 million, respectively. We also currently have two mortgage loan receivables outstanding for an aggregate of $5.9 million.million, for which we earn interest of 22.0% per annum through the maturity date. These loans mature upon the earlier of April 2016 or the sale of the underlying property, which is anticipated to occur in December 2015. We expect these mortgage loan receivables to be paid in full during the fourth quarter 2015.

Business Environment

The strength of the global economy and the U.S. economy in particular, continues to be uncertain and volatile, and we remain cautious about a sustained long-term economic recovery. Vacancy rates have decreased for both office and industrial properties in most markets as increased user demand with restrained new construction activity has led to improved conditions. In fact, vacancy rates in many markets have been reduced to levels seen at the latest peak before the recession and rental rates have increased in many primary and secondary markets. Construction activity particularly for both office and industrial properties is on the rise, as a result of increased demand for facilities to satisfy the increased demand in the e-commerce sector. However,however, vacancy rates in certain secondary markets are still higher than pre-recession levels, as job growth has yet to return to all areas of the country even though the national unemployment rate has dropped over the past 12 months. InterestWhile interest rates have increased since the beginning of the year, butproperty financing costs are still remain at historic lows.low levels. This continued low interest rate environment is leadinghas led to increasingincreased competition for new

for new acquisitions. In addition, the uncertainty surrounding the ability of the federal government to address its fiscal condition in both the near and long term as well as international geo-political issues has increased domestic and global economic instability. These developments and our government’s credit concerns in general, could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact our ability to access both the debt and equity markets on favorable terms. In addition, a further decrease to the U.S. 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 one or more of our tenants, or our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We continue to focus on re-leasing vacant space, renewing upcoming lease maturities and acquiring additional properties. Currently, we have threetwo fully vacant buildings located in Baytown, Texas, Newburyport, Massachusetts and Dayton, Ohio and twothree partially vacant buildings located in Bolingbrook, IllinoisIllinois; Baytown, Texas; and Burnsville, Minnesota. Our Baytown, Texas tenant vacated upon its lease termination in April 2013, our Newburyport, Massachusetts tenant vacated upon its lease termination in April 2015 and our Dayton, Ohio tenant vacated upon its lease termination in June 2015. Our Bolingbrook, Illinois tenant vacated upon their lease termination in December 2014Dayton, Ohio property is currently marketed for sale and we have a partial space tenant foranticipate selling this property which took occupancy in December 2014. during the fourth quarter.

We originally had 12 leases expiring in 2015, and2015: we have successfully extended the leases for 78 of these tenants, 1and the properties associated with 2 of these leases have been classified as held for sale. Of the remaining two properties, one is currently vacant and the other is in negotiationlease extension negotiations with the current tenant, and 1 in which we agreed to sell the property to a third party. The Newburyport, Massachusetts, and Dayton, Ohio tenants have vacated, per the discussion above, and we have been notified that the remaining tenant in our Maple Heights, Ohio property will leave at the end of this year.sub-tenant. We are in direct lease negotiations with a sub-tenant in the Maple Heights, Ohio property for a significant percentage of the building. We are aggressively pursuing new tenants for all of these properties, which comprise less than 3% of our projected 2015 rental income, 50% of which does not terminate until December 2015. While we originally had 12 leases expiring in 2015, we only have 3 leases expiring in 2016, and we anticipate executing lease extensions for 2 of these properties with 2016 lease expirations by the end of 2015. We only have 6 expiring leases in 2017 and 43 expiring leases in 2018, which are each less than 2%2.0% of annualized rents for each respective year.

Our available vacant space at JuneSeptember 30, 2015 comprises less than 3.0%2.12% of our total square footage and the annual carrying costs, including real estate taxes and property operating expenses, are approximately $0.7$1.9 million. We continue to actively seek new tenants for these properties.

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, or the Line of Credit. Long-term mortgages are readily obtainable. The collateralized mortgage backed securities, or CMBS, market remains very active but uncertainty with regard to interest rates together with the inability to enter into early interest rate lock agreements makes the CMBS market less predictable. We continue to look to regional banks, insurance companies and other non-bank lenders, in addition to the CMBS market to issue mortgages to finance our real estate activities.

In addition to obtaining funds through borrowing, we have been active in the equity markets during 2015. We have issued shares of common stock through our at-the-market program, or ATM Program, pursuant to our open market sale agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., or Cantor Fitzgerald, discussed in more detail below.

Recent Developments

Q2Q3 2015 Investment Activity

Phoenix, Arizona:On April 14, 2015, we closed a $0.3 million interim financing loan for the acquisition of land to be used for continuing development of a medical center campus in Phoenix, Arizona. This loan is collateralized by proceeds from the future sale of the transitional care facility for which we provided a mortgage development loan on July 25, 2014. We will earn interest of 22.0% per annum through the maturity date, with all accrued interest and principal payable upon maturity. This loan matures upon the earlier of April 2016 or the sale of the transitional care facility, which we anticipate to occur in October 2015.

Columbus, Ohio:On May 28, 2015, we acquired a 78,033 square foot office building located in Columbus, Ohio for $7.7 million, excluding related acquisition expenses of $0.1 million. We funded this acquisition with existing cash on hand and the issuance of $4.5 million of mortgage debt on the property.

Our Adviser and Administrator

Our Adviser is led by a management team with extensive experience purchasing real estate and originating mortgage loans. Our Adviser and Administrator are controlled by Mr. David Gladstone, who is also our chairman and chief executive officer. Mr. Gladstone also serves as the chairman and chief executive officer of both our Adviser and Administrator. Mr. Terry Lee Brubaker, our vice chairman and chief operating officer, is also the vice chairman and chief operating officer of our Adviser. Mr. Robert Cutlip, our president, is also an executive managing director of our Adviser. Gladstone Administration, LLC, or our Administrator, employs our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary (who also serves as our Administrator’s president) and their respective staffs. Mr. Gladstone is also the chairman and chief executive officer of our Administrator and Mr. Brubaker is the vice chairman and chief operating officer of our Administrator.

Our Adviser and Administrator also provide investment advisory and administrative services, respectively, to certain of 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 publicly-traded REIT that primarily invests in farmland. With the exception of Ms. Danielle Jones, our chief financial officer, Mr. Jay Beckhorn, our treasurer, and Mr. Robert Cutlip, our president, all of our executive officers and all of our directors serve as either directors or executive officers, or both, of Gladstone Capital Corporation and Gladstone Investment Corporation, two of our affiliates. In addition, with the exception of our presidentMr. Cutlip and our chief financial officer,Ms. Jones, all of our executive officers and all of our directors, serve as either directors or executive officers, or both, of Gladstone Land Corporation, an affiliate of ours. In the future, our Adviser may provide investment advisory services to other companies, both public and private.

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 investment advisory agreement with our Adviser, 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 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).

Advisory Agreement

On July 24, 2015, we entered into an amended and restated advisory agreement, or the Amended Advisory Agreement, with the Adviser. Our entrance into the agreement was approved unanimously by our Board of Directors, including separate and unanimous approval by the independent directors on our Board.Board of Directors.

The calculation of the annual base management fee was revised to equal 1.5% of our total stockholders’ equity, before(before giving effect to the base management and incentive fee,fee), adjusted to exclude the effect of any unrealized gains or losses that do not affect realized net income (including impairment charges) and adjusted for any one-time events and certain non-cash items (only after approval of our Compensation Committee), or adjusted total stockholders’ equity. The fee is calculated and accrued quarterly as 0.375% per quarter of such adjusted total stockholders’ equity figure.

The calculation of the annual incentive fee was revised to reward the Adviser if our quarterly Core FFO (defined below), before giving effect to any incentive fee, or pre-incentive fee Core FFO, exceeds 2.0%, or 8.0% annualized, of adjusted total stockholders’ equity (after giving effect to the base management fee but before giving effect to the incentive fee), or the new hurdle rate. The Adviser receives 15%15.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee Core FFO that exceeds the new hurdle rate. However, in no event shall the incentive fee for a particular quarter exceed the average quarterly incentive fee paid by us for the previous four quarters by greater than 15.0% (excluding quarters for which no incentive fee was paid). Core FFO is defined as GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders, excluding the incentive fee, depreciation and amortization, any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period, and one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP.

A capital gains-based incentive fee was instituted that is calculated and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination). In determining the capital gain fee, we will calculate aggregate realized capital gains and aggregate realized capital losses for the applicable time period. For this purpose, aggregate realized capital gains and losses, if any, equals the realized gain or loss calculated by the difference between the sales price of the property, less any costs to sell the property and the current gross value of the property (which is calculated as the original acquisition price plus any subsequent non-reimbursed capital improvements). At the end of the fiscal year, if this number is positive, then the capital gain fee payable for such time period shall equal 15.0% of such amount.

The Amended Advisory Agreement includes a termination fee where, in the event of a termination without cause (with 120 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), a termination fee would be payable to the Adviser equal to two times the sum of the average annual base management fee and incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the 24-month period prior to such termination. A termination fee is also payable if the Adviser terminates the agreement after the Company has defaulted and applicable cure periods have expired. The agreement may also be terminated for cause (with 30 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), with no termination fee payable. Cause is defined in the agreement to include if the Adviser breaches any material provisions of the Agreement, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Adviser, dissolution of the Adviser and fraud or misappropriation of funds.

Management believes this amendment brings our advisory agreement nearer to the current market practice and expects itAmended Advisory Agreement will facilitate our growth of FFO and distributions to stockholders in the future. Management also believes that with this advisory agreement we will allow us to become more competitive in sourcing and retaining talented investment and operations professionals at the Adviser.

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, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary (who also serves as our Administrator’s president), and their respective staffs. Prior to July 1, 2014, our allocable portion was generally derived by multiplying that portion of the Administrator’s expenses allocable to all funds managed by the Adviser by the percentage of our total assets at the beginning of each quarter in comparison to the total assets of all funds managed by

the Adviser. As approved by our Board of Directors, effective July 1, 2014, our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses is generally derived by multiplying our Administrator’s total expenses by the approximate percentage of time the Administrator’s employees perform services for us in relation to their

time spent performing services for all companies serviced by our Administrator under contractual agreements. Management believes that this methodology of allocating the Administrator’s total expenses by approximate percentage of time services were performed among all companies serviced by our Administrator more closely approximates fees paid to actual services performed.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S., or GAAP, requires management to make judgments that are subjective in nature in order to make certain estimates and assumptions. 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 consolidated financial statements in our 2014 Form 10-K. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015.

Results of Operations

The weighted-averageweighted average yield on our total portfolio, which was 8.8%8.7% and 9.0% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively, 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 cost. The weighted-averageweighted average yield does not account for the interest expense incurred on the mortgages placed on our properties.

A comparison of our operating results for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and 2014 is below (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

Rental revenue from same store properties decreased slightly for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, primarily due to reduced rental rates on lease extensions modifications to two leases with tenants experiencing operational difficulties, and from two tenants that vacated the premises, one of whom relocated to another state due to economic incentives.modifications. Rental revenue increased for acquired and disposed properties for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, because we acquired eight properties subsequent to JuneSeptember 30, 2014, combined with a full three and sixnine month period of revenue in 2015 for properties acquired during and subsequent to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014.

The decrease in same store tenant recovery revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 is a result of a one-time adjustment related to a modified gross lease recorded in June 2014, coupled with vacancy settlement recoveries received in June 30, 2014. The increase in same store tenant recovery revenues for the sixthree and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the sixthree and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, is a result of increased recoveries from tenants subject to base year stops on modified gross leases. The adjustment increased bothdecrease in tenant recovery revenues on acquired and property operating expenses, resulting in no impact to net income. Duringdisposed of properties for the sixthree and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recovered operating expenses fromis a result of a lack of tenant recovery revenues in 2015 associated with our Roseville, Minnesota property, which vacated one of our buildings, but continuedwas conveyed to pay rent and operating expenses through their lease termination date of June 30, 2015.the lender in a deed-in-lieu transaction during 2014.

Interest income from mortgage notes receivable increased for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, because of interest earned on a mortgage development loan issued in July 2014 that was notpartially outstanding during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014.

Depreciation and amortization increased slightly for same store properties for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014 due to depreciation on capital projects which were completed subsequent to JuneSeptember 30, 2014, coupled with amortization on leasing commissions for renewed leases with 2015 expirations. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased for acquired and disposed of properties during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, because of the eight properties acquired subsequent to JuneSeptember 30, 2014 and the inclusion of a full three and sixnine month period of depreciation and amortization recorded in 2015 for 11eight properties acquired during and subsequent to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014.

Property operating expenses consist of franchise taxes, management fees, insurance, ground lease payments, property maintenance and overheadrepair expenses paid on behalf of certain of our properties. The decreaseincrease in property operating expenses for same store properties is primarily a result of a one-time adjustmentincreases in expenses associated with tenants subject to gross leases. We have also recognized additional tenant recovery revenue related to a modified gross lease recorded duringthese additional incurred expenses. The increase in property operating expenses for acquired and disposed of properties for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, during which we adjusted property operating expenses and associated recovery revenues. This one-time adjustment did not impact net income.is primarily due to our acquisition of two properties subject to gross leases subsequent to September 30, 2014. The decrease in property operating expenses for acquired and disposed of properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily because of a lack of operating expenses in 2015 associated with our Roseville, Minnesota property, which was conveyed to the lender in a deed-in-lieu transaction during 2014.

Acquisition related expenses primarily consist of legal fees and fees incurred for third-party reports prepared in connection with potential acquisitions and our due diligence analyses related thereto. Acquisition related expenses decreased for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, due to smaller acquisition volume over these comparable periods. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, we acquired fourfive properties respectively, as compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, where we acquired sixeight properties.

The base management fee paid to the Adviser increased for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, due to an increase in both total and common stockholders’ equity, the main componentcomponents of both the calculation.amended and previous calculations. The amended calculation became effective July 1, 2015. The calculation of the base management fee is described in detail above within “Advisory and Administration Agreements.”

The net incentive fee paid to the Adviser decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, because of an amendment in the calculation of the incentive fee, which became effective July 1, 2015. The revised calculation of the incentive fee is described in detail above within “Advisory and Administration Agreements.” The net incentive fee paid to the Adviser increased for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014 because of an increase in pre-incentive fee FFO. The increase in pre-incentive fee FFO was primarily due to an increase in rental revenues from the properties acquired during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, in conjunction with a decrease in property operating expenses during2015.

The administration fee paid to the Administrator increased for the three and sixmonths ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 as compared to the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014 primarily due to a growth in personnel costs at the reasons stated above. The incentive fee credit increased slightly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, because of an increase in common distributions paid on the shares issued during the past 12 months partially offset by lower expenses at our vacant properties. The calculation of the incentive fee is described in detail above within “Advisory and Administration Agreements.”

Administrator. The administration fee paid to the Administrator decreased for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014. The decrease for the nine month period was driven primarily by a change in the way the Administrator allocates all of its fees to affiliated companies serviced by the Administrator such that the fee is generally now based upon the percentage of time employees of the Administrator spend on our matters in relation to time spent on other companies serviced by our Administrator versus the prior methodology, whereby we were generally allocated the fee based upon our total assets in relation to other funds managed by our Administrator. That change went into effect July 1, 2014. We anticipate our future administration fees to be lower than in 2014 under the new methodology. The calculation of the administration fee is described in detail above withinAdvisory and Administration Agreements.”

General and administrative expenses increaseddecreased for the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, primarily as a result of an increasea decrease in professional fees from the write-offwrite off of approximately $0.1 million in legal fees upon termination of our previous At the Market program in August 2014. General and administrative expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of the increase in professional fees relateddue to the growth in the scope of our terminated Senior Common stock program.portfolio, coupled with an increase in bank service fees incurred to obtain lender approval to change our asset managers to three nationally recognized firms.

Impairment recognized during the sixthree and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014 was a result of the impairment of our Roseville, Minnesota property.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest expense increased for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014. This increase was primarily a result of interest on the $76.4$80.0 million of mortgage debt issued and assumed in the past 12 months, partially offset by reduced interest expense on our long-term financings from amortizing and balloon principal payments made during the past 12 months.months coupled with reduced interest expense associated with lower interest rates achieved on the two mortgages we refinanced during 2015.

We didhave not recognize a gain on salesold any properties during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015. The gain on sale of real estate during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014 is a result of the sale of our property located in Sterling Heights, Michigan in June 2014.

Other income decreased during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, because of a decrease in management fees collected from certain of our tenants, coupled with the repayment of the employee note outstanding in May 2015.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders increased for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the net income availableloss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, primarily because of the gain on saleimpairment charge recognized from the Sterling Heights, MichiganDayton, Ohio property recognized in June 2014.September 2015, coupled with increased interest expense and depreciation expense, offset by an increase in rental income from the properties acquired over the past 12 months. Net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, primarily because of the impairment charge recognized from the Roseville, Minnesota property in June 2014 offset by increased interest expense, depreciation expense, and an increase in rental income from the properties acquired over the past 12 months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our sources of liquidity include cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our Line of Credit, obtaining mortgages on our unencumbered properties and issuing additional equity securities. Our available liquidity, at June 30,as of October 27, 2015, was $14.4$17.8 million, including $3.3$4.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and an available borrowing capacity of $11.1$13.8 million under our Line of Credit.

Future Capital Needs

We actively seek conservative investments that are likely to produce income to pay distributions to our stockholders. We intend to use the proceeds received from future equity raised and debt capital borrowed to continue to invest in industrial, commercial and retail real property, make mortgage loans, or pay down outstanding borrowings under our Line of 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 service costs on our existing long-term mortgages and on borrowings under our Line of Credit, and fund our current operating costs. In addition, we are required to have sufficient liquidity, beginning August 31, 2016, if our $38.5 million Term Preferred Stock has not been extended or replaced to comply with our first amended and restated Line of Credit agreement. We plan to refinance our Term Preferred Stock with equity in advance of this date. 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 borrowings under our Line of Credit and fund our current operating costs in the near term. Additionally, to satisfy our short-term obligations, we may request 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. Historically, our Adviser has provided such partial credits to our management fees on a quarterly basis. We further believe that our cash flow from operations coupled with the financing capital available to us in the future are sufficient to fund our long-term liquidity needs.

Equity Capital

To date, in 2015, we have raised net proceeds of $30.7$40.9 million of common equity under our ATM program with Cantor Fitzgerald at a weighted average share price of $17.65.$16.76. Furthermore, we raised $2.5$2.6 million in net proceeds of senior common equity.equity, which was terminated according to its terms on March 28, 2015. We used these proceeds to acquire additional real estate and for general corporate purposes.

As of August 3,October 27, 2015, we have the ability to raise up to $165.7$155.4 million of additional equity capital through the sale and issuance of securities that are registered under our universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-190931), or the Universal Shelf, in one or more future public offerings. Of the $165.7$155.4 million of available capacity under our Universal Shelf, $36.3$26.0 million of common stock is reserved for additional sales under our ATM Program. We will use our existing ATM program as a source of liquidity for the remainder of 2015.

Debt Capital

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, we had mortgage notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $484.8$482.9 million, excludingincluding mortgage notes payable on real estate assets held for sale, collateralized by a total of 8046 properties with a remaining weighted average maturity of 5.65.46 years. The weighted-average interest rate on the mortgage notes payable as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015 was 5.11%5.1%.

We continue to see banks and other non-bank lenders willing to issue mortgages. Consequently, we are focused on obtaining mortgages through regional banks, non-bank lenders and the CMBS market.

We have mortgage debt in the aggregate principal amount of $8.0$5.7 million payable during the remainder of 2015 and $97.6$100.3 million payable during 2016, excludingincluding balloon payments on real estate assets held for sale. The 2015 principal amounts payable include both amortizing principal payments and one balloon principal payment due in the second half of the year.December 2015. The 2016 principal amounts payable include both amortizing principal payments and nine balloon principal payments due throughout 2016. We anticipate being able to refinance our mortgages that come due during 2015 and 2016 with a combination of new mortgage debt and the issuance of additional equity securities.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, was $16.5$24.9 million, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $11.0$18.7 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in rental income received from the properties acquired induring the past 12 months, partially offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses, as a result ofwell as the base management and incentive fees due to increased activity in our portfolio. The majority of cash from operating activities is generated from the rental payments and operating expense recoveries 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 Line of Credit, distributions to our stockholders, management fees to our Adviser, Administration fees to our Administrator and other entity-level operating expenses.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, was $63.2$76.5 million, which primarily consisted of the acquisition of fourfive properties and tenant improvements performed at certain of our properties, as compared to net cash used in investing activities during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, of $60.9$88.0 million, which primarily consisted of the acquisition of six properties, coupled withthe issuance of the mortgage note receivable and tenant improvements performed at certain of our properties.properties, partially offset by proceeds from sale of real estate.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, was $41.4$46.7 million, which primarily consisted of proceeds from the sale of common stock and proceeds from the issuance of mortgage notes payable, partially offset by the distributions paid to our stockholders and principal repayments on mortgage notes payable. Net cash provided by financing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, was $43.6$66.1 million, which primarily consisted of distributions paid to our stockholders and principal repayments on mortgage notes payable, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of common stock.

Line of Credit

In August 2013, we procured our $60.0 milliona senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the Line of Credit, which was expanded to $75.0 million in November 2014, with KeyBank National Association (serving as a revolving lender, a letter of credit issuer and an administrative agent) and added Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania as an additional lender. Comerica Bank was subsequently added as another lender in December 2013. In March 2014,. On October 5, 2015, we amendedexpanded our Line of Credit to extend$85.0 million and extended the maturity date by one year to1-year through August 2017.2018, with a 1-year extension option through August 2019. We also modified certain terms underadded a $25.0 million 5-year term loan facility, which matures in October 2020. The interest rate on the Linerevolving line of Credit, including the calculation of the total asset value and unencumbered asset value. The applicable LIBOR margins werecredit was also reduced by 25 basis points at each pricing level. As a result of these modifications, the availabilityleverage tiers and the total maximum commitment under our Linethe two facilities was increased from $100.0 million to $150.0 million. We also added 3 new lenders to the bank syndicate, which is now comprised of Credit increased by $1.3 million.

The Line of Credit initially matures in August 2017; however, we have a one-year extension optionKeyBank, Comerica Banks, Fifth Third Bank, US Bank and Huntington Bank. We were subject to the payment of an extension fee equal to 25 basis points on$0.5 million for the initial maturity date and certain other customary conditions.modification of the agreement.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, there was $45.2$55.5 million outstanding under our Line of Credit at an interest rate of approximately 2.94% and $3.9 million outstanding under letters of credit at a weighted average interest rate of 2.75%. As of August 3,October 27, 2015, the maximum additional amount we could draw under our Line of Credit was $9.2$13.8 million. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Line of Credit as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015.

(1)Debt obligations represent borrowings under our Line of Credit, which represents $45.2$55.5 million of the debt obligation due in 2017, mortgage notes payable that were outstanding as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, and amounts due to the holders of our Term Preferred Stock.
(2)Interest on debt obligations includes estimated interest on our borrowings under our Line of Credit, mortgage notes payable and interest due to the holders of our Term Preferred Stock. The balance and interest rate on our Line of Credit is variable; thus, the amount of interest calculated for purposes of this table was based upon rates and balances as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015.
(3)Operating lease obligations represent the ground lease payments due on our Tulsa, Oklahoma, Dartmouth, Massachusetts, Springfield, Missouri, and Salt Lake City, Utah properties.
(4)Purchase obligations consist of $1.3 million to fund tenant improvements at twothree of our Ohio properties, $0.5 million in tenant improvements at our Burnsville, MN property, $0.3 million of tenant improvements at our Austin, TX property, $0.3 million of tenant improvements at our Bolingbrook, IL property, $0.1 million of tenant improvements at ourtwo Raleigh, NC property, and $0.1 million of tenant improvements atproperties, our Indianapolis, IN property, and our Baytown, TX property. These items were recognized on our balance sheet as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015.

Funds from Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, developed FFO as a relevant non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an equity REIT, 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 available to common stockholders for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income available to common stockholders, and a computation of basic and diluted FFO per weighted average share of common stock:

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. Certain of our leases contain escalations based on market indices, and the interest rate on our Line of Credit 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. To that end, we have entered into a derivative contract with Wells Fargocontracts to cap interest rates for theour variable rate note payable onnotes payable. For details regarding our Champaign, Illinois property. We paid a feerate cap agreements seeNote 6 – Mortgage Notes Payable and Line of $0.03 million to cap LIBOR rates at 3.0%, to limit our exposure to interest rates on this note payable.Credit.

To illustrate the potential impact of changes in interest rates on our net income for the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, 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 summarizes the annual impact of a 1%, 2% and 3% increase in the one month LIBOR as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, our effective average LIBOR was 0.19%0.193%; thus, a 1%, 2% or 3% decrease could not occur.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, the fair value of our mortgage debt outstanding, excludingincluding real estate held for sale, was $496.1$495.6 million. Interest rate fluctuations may affect the fair value of our debt instruments. If interest rates on our debt instruments, using rates at JuneSeptember 30, 2015, had been one percentage point higher or lower, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have decreased or increased by $19.2$18.8 million and $20.7$20.2 million, respectively.

In the future, we may be exposed to additional effects of interest rate changes, primarily as a result of our Line of Credit 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.

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
