AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL NEW YORK CITY REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2018
(Unaudited)
American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. (including, as required by context, New York City Operating Partnership L.P., (the "OP") and its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was formed to invest its assets in properties in the five boroughs of New York City, with a focus on Manhattan. The Company may also purchase for investment purposes certain real estate investment assets that accompany office properties, including retail spaces and amenities, as well as hospitality assets, residential assets and other property types exclusively in New York City. All such properties may be acquired and owned by the Company alone or jointly with another party. As of
March 31, 2018
, the Company owned
six
properties consisting of
1.1 million
rentable square feet, acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $
686.1 million
.
The Company was incorporated on December 19, 2013 as a Maryland corporation and elected and qualified to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“REIT”) beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2014. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through the OP.
On April 24, 2014, the Company commenced its initial public offering (the "IPO") on a "reasonable best efforts" basis of up to
30.0 million
shares of common stock,
$0.01
par value per share, at a price of
$25.00
per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, for total gross proceeds of up to
$750.0 million
. The Company closed its IPO on May 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had
31.3 million
shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares and shares issued pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP"), and had received total gross proceeds from the IPO of
$776.0 million
, inclusive of
$68.8 million
from the DRIP and net of repurchases.
On October 25, 2017, the Company's board of directors approved an estimated net asset value per share of its common stock ("Estimated Per-Share NAV") as of June 30, 2017 (the "2017 Estimated Per-Share NAV"), which was published on October 26, 2017. This was the first annual update of Estimated Per-Share NAV the Company has published. The Company intends to publish subsequent valuations of Estimated Per-Share NAV at least once annually, at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors.
The Company has
no
employees. New York City Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor") has been retained by the Company to manage the Company's affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Company has retained New York City Properties, LLC (the “Property Manager”) to serve as the Company's property manager. The Advisor and Property Manager are under common control with AR Global Investments, LLC (the successor business to AR Capital, LLC, "AR Global"), the parent of the Company's sponsor, American Realty Capital III, LLC (the "Sponsor"), as a result of which they are related parties, and each of these entities has received or will receive compensation, fees and expense reimbursements for services related to the IPO and the investment and management of the Company's assets.
The Company is the sole general partner and holds substantially all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP (“OP units”). The Advisor contributed
$2,020
to the OP in exchange for
90
OP units, which represents a nominal percentage of the aggregate OP ownership. A holder of OP units has the right to convert OP units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of the Company's common stock or, at the option of the OP, a corresponding number of shares of the Company's common stock, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the OP, provided, however, that such OP units must have been outstanding for at least one year. The remaining rights of the limited partners in the OP are limited, however, and do not include the ability to replace the general partner or to approve the sale, purchase or refinancing of the OP's assets.
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year or any subsequent interim period.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2017
, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2018. There have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
.

AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL NEW YORK CITY REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2018
(Unaudited)
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company had no investments in joint ventures or variable interest entities as of
March 31, 2018
or
December 31, 2017
.
Reclassifications
The presentation of prior year restricted cash on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows, related to the adoption of a new accounting standard in 2017 has been changed to conform to the current year presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted as of March 31, 2018:
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),
and has since issued several additional amendments thereto (collectively referred to herein as "ASC 606"). ASC 606 establishes a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under ASC 606, an entity is required to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in ASC 606 using either a modified retrospective approach, by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or a full retrospective approach. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018, under the modified retrospective approach. The new guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, primarily as a result of revenue being sourced from lease arrangements that are outside the scope of ASC 606 until the new lease standard is adopted.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,
Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10),
that amends the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance revises an entity’s accounting related to equity investments and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. Among other things, it also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The revised guidance is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and there was no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,
which provides guidance on how certain transactions should be classified and presented in the statement of cash flows as either operating, investing or financing activities. Among other things, the update provides specific guidance on where to classify debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, payments for contingent consideration made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investments. The Company adopted this new guidance effective January 1, 2018, and it did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a
Business,
which revises the definition of a business. This new guidance is applicable when evaluating whether an acquisition should be treated as either a business acquisition or an asset acquisition. Under the revised guidance, when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, the assets acquired (or disposed of) would not be considered a business. The Company has assessed this revised guidance and expects, based on historical acquisitions, future properties acquired to qualify as an asset acquisition rather than a business acquisition, which would result in the capitalization of related transaction costs. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017, however it had no acquisitions in in the three months ended March 31, 2018 or the year ended December 31, 2017.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09,
Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,
which clarifies which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The update states that modification accounting should be used unless the fair value of the award, the vesting terms of the award and the classification of the award as either equity or liability, does not change as a result of the modification. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 and it did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company expects that any future modifications to its issued share-based awards will be accounted for using modification accounting, unless the modification meets all of the exception criteria noted above. As a result,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2018
(Unaudited)
the modification would be treated as an exchange of the original award for a new award, with any incremental fair value being treated as additional compensation cost.
Pending Adoption as of March 31, 2018:
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
("ASC 842"), which originally stated that companies would be required to bifurcate certain lease revenues between lease and non-lease components, however, the FASB issued an exposure draft in January 2018 (2018 Exposure Draft) which was approved in March 2018, and allows lessors a practical expedient by class of underlying assets to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component if certain criteria are met. If certain criteria are met, non-lease components such as reimbursed expenses, may continue to be classified as leasing income. Additionally, only incremental direct leasing costs may be capitalized under this new guidance, which is consistent with the Company’s existing policies. ASU 2016-02 originally required a modified retrospective method of adoption, however, the 2018 Exposure Draft indicates that companies may be permitted to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The pronouncement allows some optional practical expedients. The Company does not expect this guidance to impact its existing lessor revenue recognition pattern.
The Company is a lessee for a property in which it has a ground lease as of
March 31, 2018
. For this lease, the Company will be required to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments upon adoption of this update. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual lease classification approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The Company will adopt this new guidance upon its effective date on January 1, 2019 and will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance until it becomes effective.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,
which changes how entities measure credit losses for financial assets carried at amortized cost. The update eliminates the requirement that a credit loss must be probable before it can be recognized and instead requires an entity to recognize the current estimate of all expected credit losses. Additionally, the update requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be carried as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down of the asset. The amendments become effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
There were no real estate assets acquired or liabilities assumed during the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
or 2017.

The Company entered into a loan agreement with Barclays Bank PLC, in the amount of
$140.0 million
, on March 6, 2017. A portion of the proceeds from the loan was used to repay the outstanding principal balance of approximately
$96.0 million
on the existing mortgage loan secured by the property. At closing, the lender placed
$24.8 million
of the proceeds in escrow, to be released to the Company in accordance with the conditions under the loan, in connection with leasing activity, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and free rent obligations related to this property. As of
March 31, 2018
,
$4.9 million
of the proceeds remained in escrow and is included in restricted cash on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet.

Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees, and other costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financial transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.

Real estate assets of
$447.5 million

The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the instrument. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the instrument, as applicable, including the period to maturity, and may use observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities, and unobservable inputs, such as expected volatility. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
|
Level 1
|
—
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
|
|
|
Level 2
|
—
|
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
|
|
|
Level 3
|
—
|
Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
|
|
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value
As of
March 31, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, the Company did not have any financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and distributions payable approximates their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the Company's financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet are reported below:

As of
March 31, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, the Company had
31.3 million
and
31.4 million
shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares and shares issued pursuant to the DRIP.
In May 2014, the board of directors of the Company authorized, and the Company began paying, a monthly distribution equivalent to
$1.5125
per annum, per share of common stock. The distributions were payable by the 5th day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month. On February 27, 2018, the Company's board of directors unanimously authorized a suspension of the distributions the Company pays to holders of the Company’s common stock, effective as of March 1, 2018. The Company's board of directors will continue to evaluate the Company's performance and expects to assess its distribution policy no sooner than February 2019.
On February 6, 2018, in response to an unsolicited offer to the Company's stockholders, the Company commenced a tender offer, which was subsequently amended on February 22, 2018 and March 6, 2018 (as amended, the “Offer”). The Company made the Offer in order to deter an unsolicited bidder and other potential future bidders that may try to exploit the illiquidity of the Company's common stock and acquire it from stockholders at prices substantially below the current Estimated Per-Share NAV. Under the Offer, the Company offered to purchase up to
140,000
shares of its common stock for cash at a purchase price equal to
$17.03
per share. In connection with the Offer, the Company's board of directors suspended the Company's share repurchase

(Unaudited)
program ("SRP") during the pendency of the Offer. The Offer expired on March 20, 2018 and, in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the Company accepted for purchase
139,993
shares for a total cost of approximately
$2.4 million
, which was paid in April 2018. On April 26, 2018, the Company's board of directors reactivated the SRP.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company has a SRP that enables stockholders, subject to certain conditions and limitations, to sell their shares to the Company. Under the SRP stockholders may request that the Company repurchase all or any portion of their shares of common stock, if such repurchase does not impair the Company's capital or operations.
On January 25, 2016, the Company's board of directors approved an amendment of the SRP to supersede and replace the existing SRP effective beginning on February 28, 2016. Under the SRP, as amended, repurchases of shares of the Company's common stock, when requested, are at the sole discretion of the Company's board of directors and generally will be made semiannually (each six-month period ending June 30 or December 31, a "fiscal semester").
On October 24, 2016, the Company's board of directors approved the 2016 Estimated Per-Share NAV, at which point the repurchase price under the SRP became based on Estimated Per-Share NAV rather than the price paid to acquire the shares. On October 25, 2017, the Company's board of directors approved the 2017 Estimated Per-Share NAV.
On June 14, 2017, the Company announced that its board of directors had adopted an amendment and restatement of the SRP that superseded and replaced the existing SRP effective as of July 14, 2017. Under the amended and restated SRP, subject to certain conditions, only repurchase requests made following the death or qualifying disability of stockholders that purchased shares of the Company’s common stock or received their shares from the Company (directly or indirectly) through one or more non-cash transactions would be considered for repurchase. Other terms and provisions of the amended and restated SRP remained consistent with the existing SRP.
In cases of requests for death and disability, the repurchase price is equal to then-current Estimated Per-Share NAV at the time of repurchase. Prior to the establishment of Estimated Per-Share NAV, the repurchase price in these circumstances was equal to the price paid to acquire the shares.
Prior to the amendment and restatement of the SRP, the purchase price per share for requests other than for death or disability under the SRP depended on the length of time investors had held such shares as follows (in each case, as adjusted for any stock distributions, combinations, splits and recapitalizations):
|
•
|
after one year from the purchase date -
92.5%
of the Estimated Per-Share NAV;
|
|
•
|
after two years from the purchase date -
95.0%
of the Estimated Per-Share NAV;
|
|
•
|
after three years from the purchase date -
97.5%
of the Estimated Per-Share NAV; and,
|
|
•
|
after four years from the purchase date -
100.0%
of the Estimated Per-Share NAV.
|
Repurchases for any fiscal semester are limited to a maximum of
2.5%
of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the previous fiscal year, with a maximum for any fiscal year of
5.0%
of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year. In addition, the Company is only authorized to repurchase shares in a given fiscal semester up to the amount of proceeds received from the DRIP in that same fiscal semester, as well as any reservation of funds the Company's board of directors, may, in its sole discretion, make available for this purpose. If the establishment of an Estimated Per-Share NAV occurs during any fiscal semester, any repurchase requests received during such fiscal semester will be paid at the Estimated Per-Share NAV applicable on the last day of the fiscal semester.
When a stockholder requests a repurchase and the repurchase is approved by the Company's board of directors, the Company will reclassify such obligation from equity to a liability based on the value of the obligation. Shares purchased under the SRP will have the status of authorized but unissued shares. The following table reflects the number of shares repurchased cumulatively through
March 31, 2018

Litigation and Regulatory Matters
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation, claims and regulatory matters. There are no material legal or regulatory proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company.
Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. As of
March 31, 2018
, the Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations.
As of

shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the "Former Dealer Manager") served as the dealer manager of the IPO, which was ongoing from April 2014 to May 2015, and, together with its affiliates, continued to provide the Company with various services through December 31, 2015. American National Stock Transfer, LLC ("ANST"), a subsidiary of the parent company of the Former Dealer

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
Manager, provided other general professional services through January 2016. RCS Capital Corporation ("RCAP"), the parent company of the Former Dealer Manager and certain of its affiliates that provided services to the Company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 2016, prior to which it was also under common control with AR Global, the parent of the Sponsor. In May 2016, RCAP and its affiliated debtors emerged from bankruptcy under the new name, Aretec Group, Inc. On March 8, 2017, the creditor trust established in connection with the RCAP bankruptcy filed suit against AR Global, the Advisor, advisors of other entities sponsored by AR Global, and AR Global’s principals (including Mr. Weil, the Company's Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President and Secretary). The suit alleges, among other things, certain breaches of duties to RCAP. The Company is not named in the suit, nor are there allegations related to the services the Advisor provides to the Company. On May 26, 2017, the defendants moved to dismiss. On November 30, 2017, the court issued an opinion partially granting the defendant's motion. The Advisor informed the Company that the Advisor believes the suit is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously.
Fees and Participations Paid in Connection with the Operations of the Company
Acquisition Fees
The Advisor is paid an acquisition fee of
1.5%
of (A) the contract purchase price of each acquired property and (B) the amount advanced for a loan or other investment. The Advisor is also reimbursed for expenses incurred related to selecting, evaluating and acquiring assets on the Company's behalf, regardless of whether the Company actually acquires the related assets. These acquisition expenses may also include insourced expenses for services performed by the Advisor or its affiliates. Such insourced expenses are fixed initially at and may not exceed
0.50%
of the contract purchase price of each property and
0.50%
of the amount advanced for each loan or other investment, which is paid at the closing of each such investment. The Advisor is also reimbursed for legal expenses incurred in the process of acquiring properties, in an amount not to exceed
0.10%
of the contract purchase price. In addition, the Company also pays third parties, or reimburses the Advisor for any investment-related expenses due to third parties. In no event will the total of all acquisition fees, acquisition expenses and any financing coordination fees (as described below) payable with respect to the Company's portfolio of investments exceed
4.5%
of (A) the contract purchase price or (B) the amount advanced for all loans or other investments. Once the proceeds from the primary offering have been fully invested, the aggregate amount of acquisition fees and any financing coordination fees may not exceed
1.5%
of (A) the contract purchase price and (B) the amount advanced for a loan or other investment, as applicable, for all the assets acquired. The Company incurred
no
acquisition fees and acquisition expense reimbursements to the Advisor during the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
and
2017
.
Financing Coordination Fees
If the Advisor provides services in connection with the origination or refinancing of any debt that the Company obtains and uses to acquire properties or to make other permitted investments, or that is assumed, directly or indirectly, in connection with the acquisition of properties, the Company pays the Advisor a financing coordination fee equal to
0.75%
of the amount made available or outstanding under such financing, subject to certain limitations.
Asset Management Fees and Variable Management/Incentive Fees
Until September 30, 2015, for its asset management services, the Company issued to the Advisor an asset management subordinated participation by causing the OP to issue (subject to periodic approval by the board of directors) to the Advisor performance-based, restricted, forfeitable partnership units in the OP designated as “Class B Units” on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to: (i) the product of (y)
0.1875%
multiplied by (z) the cost of the Company's assets divided by (ii) the value of one share of common stock as of the last day of such calendar quarter, which is equal initially to
$22.50
(the primary offering price minus selling commissions and dealer manager fees). The Class B Units are intended to be profits interests and will vest, and no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as: (a) the value of the OP's assets plus all distributions made by the Company to its stockholders equals or exceeds the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a
6.0%
cumulative, pretax, non-compounded annual return thereon, or the "economic hurdle;" (b) any one of the following events occurs concurrently with or subsequently to the achievement of the economic hurdle described above: (i) a listing of the Company's common stock on a national securities exchange; (ii) a transaction to which the Company or the OP is a party, as a result of which OP units or the Company's common stock are or will be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of such securities will otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof; or (iii) the termination of the advisory agreement without cause by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's independent directors after the economic hurdle has been met; and (c) the Advisor pursuant to the advisory agreement is providing services to the Company immediately prior to the occurrence of an event of the type described in clause (b) above (the "performance condition"). The value of issued Class B Units will be determined and expensed when the Company deems the achievement of the performance condition to be probable. As of
March 31, 2018
, the Company cannot determine the probability of achieving the performance condition. The Advisor receives distributions on Class
14
AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL NEW YORK CITY REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2018
(Unaudited)
B Units, whether vested or unvested, at the same rate as distributions received on the Company's common stock. Such distributions on issued Class B Units are expensed in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss until the performance condition is considered probable to occur. As of
March 31, 2018
, the Company's board of directors had approved the issuance of
159,159
Class B Units in connection with the arrangement. Beginning on October 1, 2015, and in lieu of the asset management subordinated participation, the Company began paying an asset management fee in cash to the Advisor or its assignees as compensation for services rendered in connection with the management of the Company’s assets. The asset management fee is payable on the first business day of each month in the amount of
0.0625%
multiplied by (i) the cost of the Company's assets for the preceding monthly period or (ii) during the period of time after the Company publishes Estimated Per-Share NAV, the lower of the cost of assets and the estimated fair market value of the Company’s assets as reported in the applicable periodic or current report filed with the SEC disclosing the fair market value. The Company paid
$1.4 million
in cash asset management fees during the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
and
2017
.
Property Management Fees
Unless the Company contracts with a third party, the Company pays the Property Manager a property management fee equal to: (i) for non-hotel properties,
4.0%
of gross revenues from the properties managed, plus market-based leasing commissions; and (ii) for hotel properties, a market-based fee based on a percentage of gross revenues. The Company also reimburses the Property Manager for property-level expenses. The Property Manager may subcontract the performance of its property management and leasing services duties to third parties and pay all or a portion of its property management fee to the third parties with whom it contracts for these services. The Company incurred approximately
$0.1 million
and
$0.2 million
in property management fees during the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
and
2017
, respectively. On April 13, 2018, the Company amended its existing property management agreement with the Property Manager (
see
Note 12
— Subsequent Events
for further discussion).
Professional Fees and Other Reimbursements
The Company reimburses the Advisor’s costs of providing administrative services, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which the Company’s operating expenses at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of (a)
2.0%
of average invested assets and (b)
25.0%
of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debt, impairments or other similar non-cash expenses and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period, unless the Company's independent directors determine that such excess was justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, in which case the excess amount may be reimbursed to the Advisor in subsequent periods. This reimbursement includes reasonable overhead expenses for employees of the Advisor or its affiliates directly involved in the performance of services on behalf of the Company, including the reimbursement of rent expense at certain properties that are both occupied by employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and owned by affiliates of the Advisor.
Additionally, the Company reimburses the Advisor for personnel costs in connection with other services; however, the Company may not reimburse the Advisor for personnel costs in connection with services for which the Advisor receives acquisition fees, acquisition expense reimbursements or real estate commissions and no reimbursement shall be made for salaries, bonuses or benefits to be paid to the Company's executive officers. Total reimbursement of costs and expenses for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
and
2017
were
$1.1 million
and
$0.6 million
, respectively.

6.0%
per annum, the Advisor will be entitled to
15.0%
of the excess return, provided that the amount paid to the Advisor does not exceed
10.0%
of the aggregate return for such year, and that the amount paid to the Advisor will not be paid unless investors receive a return of capital contributions. This fee will be paid only upon the sale of assets, distributions or other event which results in the return on stockholders’ capital exceeding

16
AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL NEW YORK CITY REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2018
(Unaudited)
Upon termination or non-renewal of the advisory agreement with or without cause, the Special Limited Partner will be entitled to receive a promissory note as evidence of its right to receive subordinated termination distributions from the OP equal to

The Special Limited Partner may elect to defer its right to receive the subordinated termination distribution until either a listing on a national securities exchange or other liquidity event occurs, subsequently, in which case the Company's market value will be calculated as of the date of the applicable listing or liquidity event.
No
such distributions were incurred during the
three months ended
March 31, 2018

Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage the Advisor, its affiliates and entities under common control with the Advisor to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of properties owned by the Company, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services, transaction management services and investor relations.
As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon the Advisor and its affiliates. In the event that the Advisor and its affiliates are unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company will be required to find alternative providers of these services.
Restricted Share Plan
The Company has an employee and director incentive restricted share plan (as amended to date, the “RSP”). Until an amendment to the RSP in August 2017 (the “RSP Amendment”), the RSP provided for the automatic grant of
1,333
restricted shares of common stock (“restricted shares”) to each of the independent directors. Following the RSP Amendment, the number of restricted shares to be issued automatically in those circumstances is equal to
$30,000
divided by the then-current Estimated Per-Share NAV. In November 2017, the RSP was amended and restated to reflect the RSP Amendment and certain clarifying changes.
These automatic grants are made without any further approval by the Company’s board of directors or the stockholders, after initial election to the board of directors and after each annual stockholder meeting, with such restricted shares vesting annually over a
five
-year period following the grant date in increments of
20.0%
per annum. The RSP provides the Company with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to the Company's directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to the Company, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to the Company, certain consultants to the Company and the Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to the Company. The total number of shares granted as awards under the RSP shall not exceed
5.0%
of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis at any time and in any event will not exceed
1.5 million
shares (as such number may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and similar events).
Restricted share awards entitle the recipient to receive shares of common stock from the Company under terms that provide for vesting over a specified period of time. For restricted share awards granted prior to July 1, 2015, such awards would typically be forfeited with respect to the unvested restricted shares upon the termination of the recipient's employment or other relationship with the Company. For restricted share awards granted on or after July 1, 2015, such awards provide for accelerated vesting of the portion of the unvested restricted shares scheduled to vest in the year of the recipient's voluntary termination or the failure to be re-elected to the board. Restricted shares may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the shares have vested. Holders of restricted shares receive cash distributions on the same basis as distributions paid on shares of common stock prior to the time that the restrictions on the restricted shares have lapsed and thereafter. Any distributions payable in shares of common stock will be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares.
The following table displays restricted share award activity during the
three months ended

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and determined that there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, except for the following disclosures:
New Loan Agreement
On April 13, 2018,
two
wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) of the OP, entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Societe Generale (the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement provides for a
$50.0 million
loan (the “Loan”) with a fixed interest rate of
4.516%
and a maturity date of May 1, 2028. The Loan requires monthly interest-only payments, with the principal balance due on the maturity date. The Loan is secured by, among other things, mortgage liens on two of the Company’s previously unencumbered properties, the retail condominiums located at 400 E. 67th Street, New York, New York (the “Laurel Condominium”) and a parking garage condominium unit located at 200 Riverside Boulevard, New York, New York (the “Riverside Garage,” together with the Laurel Condominium, the “Mortgaged Properties”). The Loan Agreement permits the Lender to securitize the Loan or any portion thereof.
At the closing of the Loan, the net proceeds after accrued interest and closing costs were used to fund approximately
$0.6 million
in deposits into reserve accounts required to be made at closing under the Loan Agreement, with approximately
$47.1 million
in net proceeds remaining available to the Company to be used for general corporate purposes, including to make future acquisitions. From and after May 1, 2019, the Loan may be prepaid at any time in whole, but not in part, subject to certain conditions and limitations, including payment of a yield maintenance prepayment premium for any prepayments made prior to the March 2028 monthly payment date. From and after May 1, 2019, any Mortgaged Property may, subject to certain conditions and limitations, be released from the Loan in connection with a sale or disposition of the Mortgaged Property to a bona-fide third party by prepayment of an amount equal to
115%
of the portion of the Loan allocated to the Mortgaged Property sold or disposed, plus any applicable yield maintenance prepayment premium. In addition, from and after May 1, 2019 and prior to May 1, 2028, the Riverside Garage (but not the Laurel Condominium) may be released from the Loan, subject to certain conditions and limitations, by simultaneously substituting another property (or properties) for the Riverside Garage. The OP has guaranteed, pursuant to a guaranty in favor of the Lender (the “Guaranty”), certain enumerated recourse liabilities of the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement and, from and after certain events of defaults and other breaches under the Loan Agreement as well as bankruptcies or similar events, payment of all amounts due to the Lender in respect of the Loan. The Guaranty also requires the OP to maintain a minimum net worth of
$57.5 million
and minimum liquid assets of
$3.0 million
.
Amendment to Existing Property Management Agreement and Entry into New Property Management Agreement
On April 13, 2018, in connection with the Loan, the Borrowers entered into a new Property Management and Leasing Agreement (the “New PMA”) with New York City Properties, LLC (the “Property Manager”) with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. With
18
AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL NEW YORK CITY REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2018
(Unaudited)
respect to these properties, the substantive terms of the New PMA are identical to the terms of the existing Property Management and Leasing Agreement, dated as of April 24, 2014 (the “PMA”), among the Company and the Property Manager, except that the New PMA does not include provisions related to the management of hotels.
On April 13, 2018, concurrently with entering into the New PMAs, the Company and the Property Manager entered into an amendment to the PMA (the “PMA Amendment”). Prior to the PMA Amendment, the Property Manager had been retained, pursuant to the PMA, to manage, operate and maintain all the Company’s properties. Following the PMA Amendment, the Company’s properties that are subject to a separate property management agreement with the Property Manager (including the Mortgaged Properties) are no longer subject to the PMA (s

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. (including, as required by context, New York City Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "OP") and its subsidiaries, the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "seeks," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "plans," "intends," "should" or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
|
•
|
We have a limited operating history which makes our future performance difficult to predict;
|
|
•
|
All of our executive officers are also officers, managers or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, New York City Advisors, LLC (our "Advisor") and other entities affiliated with AR Global Investments, LLC (the successor business to AR Capital, LLC, "AR Global"); as a result, our executive officers, our Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our Advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other investor entities advised by AR Global affiliates, and conflicts in allocating time among these entities and us, which could negatively impact our operating results;
|
|
•
|
We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants;
|
|
•
|
We may not be able to achieve our rental rate objectives on new and renewal leases and our expenses could be greater, which may impact operations;
|
|
•
|
Effective March 1, 2018, we ceased paying distributions. There can be no assurance we will be able to resume paying distributions at our previous level or at all;
|
|
•
|
Our properties may be adversely affected by economic cycles and risks inherent to the New York metropolitan statistical area ("MSA"), especially New York City;
|
|
•
|
We are obligated to pay fees, which may be substantial, to our Advisor and its affiliates;
|
|
•
|
We may fail to continue to qualify to be treated as a real estate investment trust for United States federal income tax purposes ("REIT");
|
|
•
|
Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other AR Global-advised programs or investors, our Advisor and its affiliates may face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties and other investments and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, meaning that we could invest in less attractive assets, which could reduce the investment return to our stockholders;
|
|
•
|
No public market currently exists, or may ever exist, for shares of our common stock and our shares are, and may continue to be, illiquid;
|
|
•
|
Our stockholders are limited in their ability to sell their shares pursuant to our share repurchase program (the "SRP") and may have to hold their shares for an indefinite period of time;
|
|
•
|
If we and our Advisor are unable to find suitable investments, then we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives, or pay distributions;
|
|
•
|
We may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act; and
|
|
•
|
As of
March 31, 2018
, we owned only six properties and therefore have limited diversification.
|
Overview
We were incorporated on December 19, 2013 as a Maryland corporation and elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014. Substantially all of our business is conducted through the OP.
20
We were formed to invest our assets in properties in the five boroughs of New York City, with a focus on Manhattan. We may also purchase certain real estate assets that accompany office properties, including retail spaces and amenities, as well as hospitality assets, residential assets and other property types exclusively in New York City. As of
March 31, 2018
, we owned
six
properties consisting of
1,085,084
rentable square feet acquired for an aggregate purchase price of
$686.1 million
.
On October 25, 2017, our board of directors approved an Estimated Per-Share NAV of $20.26 as of June 30, 2017 (the "2017 Estimated Per-Share NAV"), based on an estimated fair value of our assets less the estimated fair value of our liabilities, divided by 31,029,865 shares of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of June 30, 2017, which was published on October 26, 2017. We intend to publish subsequent valuations of Estimated Per-Share NAV at least once annually. We offer shares pursuant to the DRIP and repurchase shares pursuant to our SRP at a price based on Estimated Per-Share NAV.
We have no employees. Our Advisor manages our affairs on day-to-day basis. We have retained New York City Properties, LLC (our "Property Manager") to serve as our property manager. The Advisor and Property Manager are under common control with AR Global, the parent of our Sponsor, as a result of which they are related parties and each of these entities has received or will receive compensation, fees and expense reimbursements for services related to our IPO and, the investment and management of our assets. We are the sole general partner and hold substantially all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP, entitled "OP units" (“OP units”). The Advisor contributed
$2,020
to the OP in exchange for
90
OP units, which represents a nominal percentage of the aggregate OP ownership. A holder of OP units has the right to convert OP units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of our common stock or, at the option of the OP, a corresponding number of shares of our common stock, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the OP, provided, however, that such OP units must have been outstanding for at least one year. The remaining rights of the limited partners in the OP are limited, however, and do not include the ability to replace the general partner or to approve the sale, purchase or refinancing of the OP's assets.

Comparison of
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2018
and 2017
Rental Income
Rental income increased
$1.0 million
to
$14.0 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
, from
$13.0 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2017
, due to an increase in occupancy.
Operating Expense Reimbursements
Operating expense reimbursements decreased
$0.3 million
to
$1.2 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
, compared to
$1.5 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2017
, primarily due to our 123 William Street property.
Pursuant to many of our lease agreements, tenants are required to pay their pro rata share of certain property operating expenses, in addition to base rent, whereas under certain other lease agreements, the tenants are directly responsible for most operating costs of the respective properties. Therefore, operating expense reimbursements are directly affected by changes in property operating expenses, although not all increases in property operating expenses may be reimbursed by our tenants. Operating expense reimbursements primarily relate to costs associated with maintaining our properties including utilities, repairs and maintenance and real estate taxes incurred by us and subsequently reimbursed by the tenant.
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses increased
$0.3 million
to
$6.9 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
from
$6.6 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2017
. The increase is primarily due new lease commencements and the increased costs of maintaining our six properties including the costs of real estate taxes, utilities, and repairs and maintenance.
Operating Fees incurred from Related Parties
We incurred
$1.5 million
in fees for asset and property management services from our Advisor and Property Manager for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
and
2017
(
see
Note 8
— Related Party Transactions and Arrangements
for more information on fees incurred from our Advisor).
Acquisition and Transaction Related Expenses
We incurred
no
acquisition and transaction related expenses for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
. We incurred approximately $6,000 in acquisition and transaction related expenses for the
three months ended
March 31, 2017
.
22
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased
$1.4 million
to
$3.0 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
compared to
$1.6 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2017
, primarily related to an increase in general and administrative expense reimbursements incurred from our Advisor, as well as an increase in legal and proxy fees. General and administrative expense reimbursements incurred from our Advisor increased
$0.5 million
to
$1.1 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
compared to
$0.6 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2017
. The legal and proxy fees contributed approximately $0.8 million to the increase in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended
March 31, 2018
when compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2017
, which included approximately $0.4 million paid under an agreement entered into to settle the contested vote at our 2017 annual meeting of stockholders.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased
$0.7 million
to
$7.7 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
, compared to
$7.0 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2017
. The increase was due to higher depreciable asset base due to capital improvements during the year ended December 31, 2017.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was
$2.8 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
and
2017
. As of
March 31, 2018
and
2017
, we had two loans outstanding with a combined gross balance of
$239.0 million
and weighted average effective interest rates of
4.50%
and 4.61%, respectively.
Other Income
Other income increased approximately
$15,000
to approximately
$64,000
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
, compared to approximately
$49,000
three months ended
March 31, 2017
. The income primarily relates to interest earned on our cash balances during the periods.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The level of cash flows provided by or used in operating activities is affected by the volume of acquisition activity, restricted cash we are required to maintain, the timing of interest payments, the receipt of scheduled rent payments and the level of property operating expenses.
Net cash used in operating activities was
$2.3 million
during the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
and consisted of a net loss of
$6.6 million
, offset by depreciation and amortization for tangible and intangible assets and other non-cash expenses of
$7.3 million
, which resulted in net cash inflows of
$0.7 million
. Net cash used in operating activities also included a
$2.2 million
decrease related to accounts payable and accrued expenses associated with operating activities and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of
$0.9 million
, primarily related to an increase in unbilled rent receivables recorded in accordance with accounting for rental income on a straight-line basis. These cash outflows were partially offset by a net cash inflow of
$0.2 million
for an increase in deferred rent related to payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates and other liabilities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately
$1.5 million
and consisted of a net loss of $4.8 million adjusted for depreciation and amortization for tangible and intangible assets and other non-cash expenses of
$7.1 million
, which resulted in cash inflows of
$2.3 million
. Net cash provided by operating activities also included net cash inflows of
$1.4 million
for an increase in deferred rent related to payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates and a
$0.5 million
increase related to accounts payable and accrued expenses associated with operating activities. These cash inflows were partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of
$2.8 million
primarily related to an increase in unbilled rent receivables recorded in accordance with accounting for rental income on a straight-line basis.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of
$0.1 million
during the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
related to payments of capital expenditures relating to building and tenant improvements at 9 Times Square, 123 William Street and 1140 Avenue of the Americas.
Net cash used in investing activities of $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 related to payments of capital expenditures relating to building and tenant improvements at 9 Times Square, 123 William Street and 1140 Avenue of the Americas.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities of
$9.8 million
during the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
related to distributions to stockholders of
$7.5 million
, payments of
$0.1 million
relating to financing costs and repurchases of common stock of
$2.2 million
.
Net cash provided by financing activities of
$28.8 million
during the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily related to the proceeds from mortgage note payable of $140.0 million, which included $24.8 million of restricted cash required by the
23
mortgage lender for leasing, tenant improvement and leasing commission reserves, partially offset by payment of mortgage note payable of $96.0 million, distributions to stockholders of $6.7 million, payments of $2.9 million relating to financing costs and repurchases of common stock of $5.6 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of
March 31, 2018
, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$26.9 million
as compared to
$39.6 million
as of
December 31, 2017
. Our principal demands for cash are to fund operating and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, tenant improvement and leasing commission costs related to our properties, our debt service obligations, acquisitions, potential future distributions to our stockholders and repurchases under our SRP.
On February 27, 2018, our board of directors unanimously authorized a suspension of the distributions we pay to holders of our common stock, effective as of March 1, 2018. We believe this change enhances our ability to execute on acquisitions, as well as our repositioning and leasing efforts related to our six properties and better positions us for future growth. Our board of directors will continue to evaluate our performance and expects to assess our distribution policy no sooner than February 2019, however there can be no assurance we will be able to resume paying cash distributions at our previous level or at all.
We had historically used the net proceeds from our IPO to fund acquisitions and distributions, as well as for other corporate purposes. However, this source is no longer available to us. Therefore, we expect to fund our future short-term operating liquidity requirements through a combination of net cash provided by our current property operations, the operations of properties that may be acquired in the future and proceeds from financings and believe that we will have sufficient cash flow to meet our operating needs over the next year. We expect that cash retained by the suspension of distributions noted above will facilitate capital expenditures related to tenant improvements, new leases and lease renewals (including leasing commissions), and acquisitions in the New York City market. Additional sources of capital may also include proceeds from secured and unsecured financing from banks or other lenders. To the extent we are required to obtain additional financing we may not be able to do so on favorable terms or at all.
We have used mortgage financing to acquire two of our properties and expect to continue to use debt financing as a source of capital. Under our charter, the maximum amount of our total indebtedness may not exceed 300% of our total "net assets" (as defined in our charter) as of the date of any borrowing, which is generally equal to 75% of the cost of our investments. We may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report following such borrowing along with justification for exceeding such limit. This charter limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets or investments. We plan to increase our indebtedness over time such that aggregate borrowings are closer to 40% to 50% of the aggregate fair market value of our assets, or approximately $322.4 and $403.1 million, respectively. As of
March 31, 2018
, our gross aggregate borrowings were
$239.0 million
with a weighted average interest rate of
4.50%
. At the date of acquisition of each asset, we anticipate that the cost of investment for such asset will be substantially similar to its fair market value. However, subsequent events, including changes in the fair market value of our assets, could result in our exceeding these limits.
On April 13, 2018, two wholly owned subsidiaries of the OP, entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Societe Generale (the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement provides for a $50.0 million loan (the “Loan”) with a fixed interest rate of 4.516% and a maturity date of May 1, 2028. The Loan requires monthly interest-only payments, with the principal balance due on the maturity date. The Loan is secured by, among other things, mortgage liens on two of our previously unencumbered properties. For additional information, see
Note 12
- Subsequent Events
to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.
We have no future scheduled principal payments on our mortgage notes payable (including the Loan) for the remainder of 2018 or for the year ended December 31, 2019.
On February 6, 2018, in response to an unsolicited offer to our stockholders, we commenced a tender offer (as amended, the “Offer”). Under the Offer, we offered to purchase up to 140,000 shares of our common stock for cash at a purchase price equal to $17.03 per share. In connection with the Offer, the Company's board of directors suspended the Company's share repurchase program ("SRP") during the pendency of the Offer. The Offer expired on March 20, 2018, and, in accordance with the terms of the Offer, we accepted for purchase 139,993 shares for a total cost of approximately $2.4 million. Payment of this amount and related costs was made in April 2018 and funded using cash on hand. On April 26, 2018, the Company's board of directors reactivated the SRP.
Repositioning and Leasing Initiatives
Our repositioning and leasing initiatives have resulted in the occupancy level across our portfolio as of
March 31, 2018
of
88.0%
, with occupancy at our 9 Times Square property increasing to
69.1%
as of March 31, 2018 from 63.9% as of December 31, 2017. We believe the repositioning strategy undertaken on the ground floor retail space at 9 Times Square has made the Seventh Avenue retail frontage more attractive to potential tenants, while the new lobby and the pre-built office suites will accelerate lease up and drive increased property value. We believe that certain tenant incentives, including free rent periods and tenant improvements,
24
will drive occupancy rates higher and extend the average duration of our leases. While we will not receive cash during initial free rent periods, we are often able to negotiate longer, more attractive lease terms by having the flexibility to include such a feature. There can be no assurance, however, that these improvements will occur on a timely basis, or at all.
Capital Expenditures
For the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
, we have funded
$0.1 million
of capital expenditures. The capital expenditures in 2017 were primarily related to 9 Times Square, 123 William Square and 1140 Avenue of the Americas. We may invest in additional capital expenditures to further enhance the value of our investments. Additionally, many of our lease agreements with tenants include provisions for tenant improvement allowances.
While we have substantially completed our repositioning and redevelopment plan with respect to 9 Times Square and are currently working to lease the remaining vacant space at the property, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in lease-up of this property or effectively repositioning or remarketing any other property we may acquire for these purposes, including increasing the occupancy rate.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This section includes non-GAAP financial measures, including FFO, MFFO and cash net operating income ("NOI"). A description of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income (loss), is provided below.
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings, improvements, and straight-line amortization of intangibles, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including, but not limited to, inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using the historical accounting convention for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative.
Because of these factors, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has published a standardized measure of performance known as FFO, which is used in the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. We believe FFO, which excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, is an appropriate supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards set forth in the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004 (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, but excluding gains or losses from sales of property and real estate related impairments, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
We believe that the use of FFO provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.
Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP that were put into effect in 2009 subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO, such as the change to expense as incurred rather than capitalize and depreciate acquisition fees and expenses incurred for business combinations, have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses, as items that are expensed under GAAP across all industries. These changes had a particularly significant impact on publicly registered, non-listed REITs, which typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity in the early part of their existence, particularly during the period when they are raising capital through ongoing initial public offerings.
Because of these factors, the Investment Program Association (the “IPA”), an industry trade group, has published a standardized measure of performance known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-listed REITs. MFFO is designed to be reflective of the ongoing operating performance of publicly registered, non-listed REITs by adjusting for those costs that are more reflective of acquisitions and investment activity, along with other items the IPA believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT, such as straight-lining of rents as required by GAAP. We believe it is appropriate to use MFFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance because we believe that, when compared year over year, both before and after we have deployed all of our offering proceeds and are no longer incurring a significant amount of acquisitions fees or other related costs, it reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (the “Practice Guideline”) issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for acquisition and transaction related fees and expenses and other items. In calculating MFFO, we follow the Practice Guideline and exclude acquisition and transaction-related fees and expenses, amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above- and below-market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income, gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis.
We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of acquisition activities and other non-operating items, MFFO can provide, on a going-forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our portfolio is stabilized. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry and allows for an evaluation of our performance against other publicly registered, non-listed REITs.
Not all REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, calculate FFO and MFFO the same way. Accordingly, comparisons with other REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as determined under GAAP as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations, as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. FFO and MFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The methods utilized to evaluate the performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT under GAAP should be construed as more relevant measures of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures, FFO and MFFO, and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.
None of the SEC, NAREIT, the IPA nor any other regulatory body or industry trade group has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, NAREIT, the IPA or another industry trade group may publish updates to the White Paper or the Practice Guideline or the SEC or another regulatory body could standardize the allowable adjustments across the publicly registered, non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO accordingly.

Cash Net Operating Income
Cash NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, less income from investment securities and interest, plus general and administrative expenses, acquisition and transaction-related expenses, depreciation and amortization, other non-cash expenses and interest expense. In calculating Cash NOI, we also eliminate the effects of straight-lining of rent and the amortization of above and below market leases. Cash NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity.
We use Cash NOI internally as a performance measure and believe Cash NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Therefore, we believe Cash NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our real estate assets and to make decisions about resource allocations. Further, we believe Cash NOI is useful to investors as performance measures because, when compared across periods, Cash NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition activity on an unlevered basis. Cash NOI excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property's results of operations. For example, interest expense is not linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and Cash NOI is not affected by whether the financing is at the property level or corporate level. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. Cash NOI presented by us may not be comparable to Cash NOI reported by other REITs that define Cash NOI differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, Cash NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated financial statements.
The table below reflects the items deducted or added to net loss in our calculation of Cash NOI for the periods presented.

Distributions
We are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, determined without regard for the deduction for distributions paid and excluding net capital gains. In May 2014, our board of directors authorized, and we began paying monthly distributions to stockholders of record at a rate equal to
$1.5125
per annum, per share of common stock payable by the 5th day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month. On February 27, 2018, our board of directors unanimously authorized a suspension of the distributions we pay to holders of our common stock, effective as of March 1, 2018. There can be no assurance we will be able to resume paying cash distributions at our previous level or at all. A tax loss for a particular year would preclude us from being required to comply with the 90% REIT distribution requirement for that year and may minimize or eliminate the need to make distributions in one or more subsequent years.
During the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
, distributions paid to common stockholders totaled
$11.7 million
. Of that amount,
$4.2 million
was reinvested in shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP. During the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
, we funded distributions from cash proceeds received from cash on hand, representing proceeds from secured mortgages financing. No cash flows from operations were used to fund distributions during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.3 million for this period.
Share Repurchase Program
Our board of directors has adopted the SRP that enables stockholders, subject to certain conditions and limitations, to sell their shares to us. Due to these conditions and limitations, there can be no assurance that all, or any, shares submitted validly for repurchase will be repurchased under the SRP. On June 14, 2017, we announced that our board of directors adopted an amendment and restatement of the SRP that superseded and replaced the existing SRP effective as of July 14, 2017. Under the amended and restated SRP, subject to certain conditions, only repurchase requests made following the death or qualifying disability of stockholders that purchased shares of our common stock or received their shares from us (directly or indirectly) through one or more non-cash transactions would be considered for repurchase. Other terms and provisions of the amended and restated SRP remained consistent with the existing SRP.
Under the SRP in effect prior to this amendment and restatement, repurchases of shares of our common stock, when requested, are at the sole discretion of our board of directors and generally will be made semiannually (each six-month period ending June 30 or December 31, a "fiscal semester"). Repurchases for any fiscal semester were limited to a maximum of 2.5% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the previous fiscal year, with a maximum for any fiscal year of 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year. In addition, we are only authorized to repurchase shares in a given fiscal semester up to the amount of proceeds received from the DRIP in that same fiscal semester, as well as any reservation of funds our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, make available for this purpose. Since we established the 2016 Estimated Per-Share NAV during the second fiscal semester of 2016, any repurchase requests received during the second fiscal semester of 2016 were paid at the Estimated Per-Share NAV. The SRP amendment became effective on February 28, 2016, and we published the 2017 Estimated Per-Share NAV in the second fiscal semester, after the repurchases with respect to the first fiscal semester of 2017 had been completed. Any shares repurchased with respect to the second fiscal semester of 2017 will be at the 2017 Estimated Per-Share NAV.
If a stockholder requests a repurchase and the repurchase is approved by our board of directors, we will reclassify such obligation from equity to a liability based on the value of the obligation. Shares purchased under the SRP will have the status of authorized but unissued shares. The following table reflects the number of shares repurchased cumulatively through
March 31, 2018

No repurchases have been or will be made with respect to requests received during 2017 that are not valid requests in accordance with the amended and restated SRP.

In January 2018, the Company's board of directors approved the repurchase requests made pursuant to the SRP during the period from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, which resulted in the repurchase of
99,131
shares for approximately
$2.0 million
at a weighted average price per share of

and
10,183
shares were repurchased from an individual stockholder in a privately negotiated transaction during January 2018 for approximately

Contractual Obligations
There were no material changes in the Company's contractual obligations at
March 31, 2018
, as compared to those reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2017
.
Election as a REIT
We elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, effective for our taxable year ended December 31, 2014. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we have been organized and operated in a manner so that we qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. We intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT. In order to continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT we must, among other things, distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP) determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements. If we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of our REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and properties as well as federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
Inflation
Many of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases either at fixed rates or indexed escalations (based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures). We may be adversely impacted by inflation on the leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. In addition, our net leases require the tenant to pay its allocable share of operating expenses, which may include common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This may reduce our exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
See
Note 8
— Related Party Transactions and Arrangements
to our accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
There has been no material change in our exposure to market risk during the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2017
.
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of the end of such period, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.
No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended
March 31, 2018
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

March 31, 2018
, the repurchase of all shares validly submitted for repurchase following the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder.
