PACIFIC OAK STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY REIT, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2019
(unaudited)
1.ORGANIZATION
Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. (formerly known as KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc.) (the “Company”) was formed on October 8, 2008 as a Maryland corporation and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010. The Company conducts its business primarily through Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. (“Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI”), a private company limited by shares according to the British Virgin Islands Business Companies Act, 2004, which was incorporated on December 18, 2015 and is authorized to issue a maximum of 50,000 common shares with no par value. Upon incorporation, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI issued one certificate containing 10,000 common shares with no par value to Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on December 10, 2008. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owns a 0.1% partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership. Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity Holdings LLC (“REIT Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on December 9, 2008, owns the remaining 99.9% interest in the Operating Partnership and is its sole limited partner. The Company is the sole member and manager of REIT Holdings.
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company was externally managed by KBS Capital Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an advisory agreement the Company renewed with the Advisor on October 7, 2019 (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisor conducted the Company’s operations and manages its portfolio of real estate and other real estate-related investments. On October 31, 2019, the Advisor ceased to serve as the Company’s advisor or have any advisory responsibility to the Company immediately following the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2019 (the “Third Quarter 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). On November 1, 2019, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (“Pacific Oak Capital Advisors”). The new advisory agreement is effective as of November 1, 2019 through November 1, 2020; however the Company may terminate the advisory agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 30 days’ written notice and Pacific Oak Capital Advisors may terminate the new advisory agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 90 days’ written notice. The terms of the advisory agreement are consistent with those of the advisory agreement that was previously in effect with the Advisor, except as discussed in Note 11.
On January 8, 2009, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a minimum of 250,000 shares and a maximum of 140,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public (the “Offering”), of which 100,000,000 shares were registered in a primary offering and 40,000,000 shares were registered to be sold under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. The SEC declared the Company’s registration statement effective on November 20, 2009. The Company ceased offering shares of common stock in its primary offering on November 14, 2012 and continues to offer shares under its dividend reinvestment plan.
The Company sold 56,584,976 shares of common stock in its primary offering for gross offering proceeds of $561.7 million. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had sold 6,827,874 shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $76.3 million. Also, as of September 30, 2019, the Company had redeemed 23,561,121 shares for $282.8 million. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had issued 25,976,746 shares of common stock in connection with special dividends. Additionally, on December 29, 2011 and October 23, 2012, the Company issued 220,994 shares and 55,249 shares of common stock, respectively, for $2.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in private transactions exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
On March 2, 2016, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI filed a final prospectus with the Israel Securities Authority for a proposed offering of up to 1,000,000,000 Israeli new Shekels of Series A debentures (the “Debentures”) at an annual interest rate not to exceed 4.25%. On March 1, 2016, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI commenced the institutional tender of the Debentures and accepted application for 842.5 million Israeli new Shekels. On March 7, 2016, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI commenced the public tender of the Debentures and accepted 127.7 million Israeli new Shekels. In the aggregate, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI accepted 970.2 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $249.2 million as of March 8, 2016) in both the institutional and public tenders at an annual interest rate of 4.25%. Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI issued the Debentures on March 8, 2016.

(unaudited)
In connection with the above-referenced offering, on March 8, 2016, the Operating Partnership assigned to Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI all of its interests in the subsidiaries through which the Company indirectly owns all of its real estate and real estate-related investments. The Operating Partnership owns all of the issued and outstanding equity of Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI. As a result of these transactions, the Company now holds all of its real estate and real estate-related investments indirectly through Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company consolidated seven office properties, one office portfolio consisting of four office buildings and 14 acres of undeveloped land, one apartment property and three investments in undeveloped land with approximately 1,000 developable acres and owned five investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and four investments in real estate equity securities.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the Company’s adoption of the lease accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) effective on January 1, 2019. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, REIT Holdings, the Operating Partnership, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling interest and VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Redeemable Common Stock
The Company limits the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the share redemption program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had redeemed $7.4 million of common stock under the share redemption program. The Company processed all redemption requests received in good order and eligible for redemption through the September 2019 redemption date, except for 4,595,566 shares totaling $43.3 million due to the limitations under the share redemption program. The Company recorded $3.4 million and $10.0 million of redeemable common stock payable on the Company’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, related to unfulfilled redemption requests received in good order under the share redemption program. Based on the eleventh amended and restated share redemption program, the Company has $2.6 million available for redemptions in the remainder of 2019, including shares that are redeemed in connection with a stockholders’ death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence,” subject to the limitations under the share redemption program.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company sold one apartment property and one retail property. As a result, certain assets and liabilities were reclassified to held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. Upon adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 (described below), the Company accounted for tenant reimbursements for property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance as variable lease payments and recorded these amounts as rental income on the statement of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company reclassified $2.7 million and $8.1 million of tenant reimbursement revenue for property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance to rental income for comparability purposes.
Revenue Recognition - Operating Leases
Real Estate
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the lease accounting standards under Topic 842 including the package of practical expedients for all leases that commenced before the effective date of January 1, 2019. Accordingly, the Company (i) did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing lease, and (iii) did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company did not elect the practical expedient related to using hindsight to reevaluate the lease term. In addition, the Company adopted the practical expedient for land easements and did not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840 are or contain a lease under Topic 842.
In addition, Topic 842 provides an optional transition method to allow entities to apply the new lease accounting standards at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company adopted this transition method upon its adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842, which did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2019. The Company’s comparative periods presented in the financial statements will continue to be reported under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840.
In accordance with Topic 842, tenant reimbursements for property taxes and insurance are included in the single lease component of the lease contract (the right of the lessee to use the leased space) and therefore are accounted for as variable lease payments and are recorded as rental income on the Company’s statement of operations beginning January 1, 2019. In addition, the Company adopted the practical expedient available under Topic 842 to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and instead to account for those components as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue recognition standard (Topic 606) and if certain conditions are met, specifically related to tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance which would otherwise be accounted for under the revenue recognition standard. The Company believes the two conditions have been met for tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance as (i) the timing and pattern of transfer of the nonlease components and associated lease components are the same and (ii) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease. Accordingly, tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance are also accounted for as variable lease payments and recorded as rental income on the Company’s statement of operations beginning January 1, 2019.

The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectibility is probable and records amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
•whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
•whether the lessee or lessor supervises the construction and bears the risk of cost overruns;
•whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;
•whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
•whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in nature; and
•whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.
The Company leases apartment units under operating leases with terms generally of one year or less. Generally, credit investigations will be performed for prospective residents and security deposits will be obtained. The Company recognizes rental revenue, net of concessions, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, when collectibility is determined to be probable.
In accordance with Topic 842, the Company makes a determination of whether the collectibility of the lease payments in an operating lease is probable. If the Company determines the lease payments are not probable of collection, the Company would fully reserve for any contractual lease payments, deferred rent receivable, and variable lease payments and would recognize rental income only if cash is received. Beginning January 1, 2019, these changes to the Company’s collectibility assessment are reflected as an adjustment to rental income. Prior to January 1, 2019, bad debt expense related to uncollectible accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable was included in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations. Any subsequent changes to the collectibility of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2018, which was recorded prior to the adoption of Topic 842, are recorded in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations.
Beginning January 1, 2019, the Company, as a lessor, records costs to negotiate or arrange a lease that would have been incurred regardless of whether the lease was obtained, such as legal costs incurred to negotiate an operating lease, as an expense and classify such costs as operating, maintenance, and management expense on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, as these costs are no longer capitalizable under the definition of initial direct costs under Topic 842.

Segments
The Company has invested in opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans and other real estate-related assets. In general, the Company intends to hold its investments in opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans and other real estate-related assets for capital appreciation. Traditional performance metrics of opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans and other real estate-related assets may not be meaningful as these investments are generally non-stabilized and do not provide a consistent stream of interest income or rental revenue. These investments exhibit similar long-term financial performance and have similar economic characteristics. These investments typically involve a higher degree of risk and do not provide a constant stream of ongoing cash flows. As a result, the Company’s management views opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans and other real estate-related assets as similar investments. Substantially all of its revenue and net income (loss) is from opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans and other real estate-related assets, and therefore, the Company currently aggregates its operating segments into one reportable business segment.
Per Share Data
Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock equals basic net income (loss) per share of common stock as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
Distributions declared per share were $0.00860000 and $0.02580000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $0.01597500 and $0.04792500 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
Square Footage, Occupancy and Other Measures
Any references to square footage, occupancy or annualized base rent are unaudited and outside the scope of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s review of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments (“ASU No. 2016-13”). ASU No. 2016-13 affects entities holding financial assets and net investments in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-13 require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. ASU No. 2016-13 also amends the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. An entity will recognize an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities as a contra-account to the amortized cost basis rather than as a direct reduction of the amortized cost basis of the investment, as is currently required. ASU No. 2016-13 also requires new disclosures. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, an entity will be required to disclose information about how it developed its allowance for credit losses, including changes in the factors that influenced management’s estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. For financing receivables and net investments in leases measured at amortized cost, an entity will be required to further disaggregate the information it currently discloses about the credit quality of these assets by year of the asset’s origination for as many as five annual periods. For available-for-sale debt securities, an entity will be required to provide a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses and an aging analysis for securities that are past due. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-13 on its financial statements.

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

Operating Leases
Certain of the Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of September 30, 2019, the leases, excluding options to extend and apartment leases, which have terms that are generally one year or less, had remaining terms of up to 12.5 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 4.7 years. Some of the leases have provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires a security deposit from tenants in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. The amount required as a security deposit varies depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally are not significant amounts. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash and assumed in real estate acquisitions related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $3.9 million and $3.7 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants of $3.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, net of lease incentive amortization. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the cumulative deferred rent receivable balance, including unamortized lease incentive receivables, was $14.9 million and $9.6 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included $3.3 million and $1.3 million of unamortized lease incentives as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
As of September 30, 2019, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties, excluding apartment leases, under non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):

September 30, 2019
(unaudited)
No other tenant industries accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent. No material tenant credit issues have been identified at this time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an adjustment to rental income of $0.4 million for lease payments that were deemed not probable of collection. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded bad debt recoveries of $0.2 million and $5,000, respectively, which were included in operating, maintenance and management expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Geographic Concentration Risk
As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s real estate investments in Georgia, Texas and California represented 17.2%, 14.7% and 14.4%, respectively, of the Company’s total assets. As a result, the geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the Georgia, Texas and California real estate markets. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders.
Recent Acquisition
Georgia 400 Center
On May 23, 2019, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, acquired an office property consisting of three buildings containing an aggregate of 416,463 rentable square feet located on approximately 24.4 acres of land in Alpharetta, Georgia (“Georgia 400 Center”). The seller is not affiliated with the Company or the Advisor. The purchase price (net of closing credits) of Georgia 400 Center was $90.3 million, which includes $1.2 million of capitalized acquisition costs. The Company recorded this acquisition as an asset acquisition and recorded $11.4 million to land, $72.0 million to building and improvements, $7.6 million to tenant origination and absorption costs and $0.7 million to below-market lease liabilities. The intangible assets and liabilities acquired in connection with this acquisition have weighted-average amortization periods as of the date of acquisition of 5.8 years for tenant origination and absorption costs and 2.4 years for below-market lease liabilities.
Sale of Real Estate
As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, the Company had recorded contract liabilities of $3.1 million related to deferred proceeds received from the buyers of the Park Highlands land sales and another developer for the value of land that was contributed to a master association that is consolidated by the Company, which was included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s notes payable contain financial debt covenants. As of September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all of these debt covenants.
Israeli Bond Financing
On March 2, 2016, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a final prospectus with the Israel Securities Authority for a proposed offering of up to 1,000,000,000 Israeli new Shekels of the Debentures at an annual interest rate not to exceed 4.25%. On March 1, 2016, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI commenced the institutional tender of the Debentures and accepted application for 842.5 million Israeli new Shekels. On March 7, 2016, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI commenced the public tender of the Debentures and accepted 127.7 million Israeli new Shekels. In the aggregate, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI accepted 970.2 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $249.2 million as of March 8, 2016) in both the institutional and public tenders at an annual interest rate of 4.25%. Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI issued the Debentures on March 8, 2016. The terms of the Debentures require five equal annual installment principal payments on March 1st of each year from 2019 to 2023. On March 1, 2019, the Company paid the first principal installment payment of 194.0 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $53.6 million as of March 1, 2019). As of September 30, 2019, the Company had one foreign currency collar for an aggregate notional amount of 776.2 million Israeli new Shekels to hedge its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate movements. See note 9, “Derivative Instruments” for a further discussion on the Company’s foreign currency collar.

9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company enters into derivative instruments for risk management purposes to hedge its exposure to cash flow variability caused by changing interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. The primary goal of the Company’s risk management practices related to interest rate risk is to prevent changes in interest rates from adversely impacting the Company’s ability to achieve its investment return objectives. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.
The Company enters into foreign currency options and foreign currency collars to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate movements on its bonds payable outstanding denominated in Israeli new Shekels. A foreign currency collar consists of a purchased call option to buy and a sold put option to sell Israeli new Shekels. A foreign currency collar guarantees that the exchange rate of the currency will not fluctuate beyond the range of the options’ strike prices. A foreign currency option consists of a call option to buy Israeli new Shekels.
The following table summarizes the notional amount and other information related to the Company’s foreign currency collar as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The notional amount is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in each instrument at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks (currency in thousands):

The Company enters into interest rate caps to mitigate its exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. The values of interest rate caps are primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of interest rate caps. As the remaining life of an interest rate cap decreases, the value of the instrument will generally decrease towards zero.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had entered into three interest rate caps, which were not designated as a hedging instruments. The following table summarizes the notional amounts and other information related to the Company’s derivative instruments as of September 30, 2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized a $4.6 million gain related to the foreign currency collars, which is shown net against $15.2 million of foreign currency transaction loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as foreign currency transaction loss, net. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized a $0.2 million gain related to a foreign currency option, which is shown net against $0.2 million of foreign currency transaction loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as foreign currency transaction loss, net. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized a $4.1 million loss related to a foreign currency option, which is shown net against $13.2 million of foreign currency transaction gain in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as foreign currency transaction gain, net.
10. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other non-financial and financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
•Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
•Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
•Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and for which markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments for which markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rent and other receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities: These balances approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
Real estate equity securities: The Company’s real estate equity securities are presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The fair values of the real estate equity securities were based on quoted prices in an active market on a major stock exchange. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 1 inputs.
Real estate debt securities: The Company’s real estate debt securities are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at their amortized cost net of recorded loss reserves (if any) and not at fair value. The fair value of real estate debt securities was estimated using an internal valuation model that considers the expected cash flows for the debt securities, underlying collateral values (for collateral dependent securities) and estimated yield requirements of institutional investors for real estate debt securities with similar characteristics, including remaining term, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.
Notes and bonds payable: The fair values of the Company’s notes and bonds payable are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs. The Company’s bonds issued in Israel are publicly traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. The Company used the quoted price as of September 30, 2019 for the fair value of its bonds issued in Israel. The Company classifies this input as a Level 1 input.
Derivative instruments: The Company’s derivative instruments are presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The valuation of these instruments is determined using a proprietary model that utilizes observable inputs. As such, the Company classifies these inputs as Level 2 inputs. The fair value of interest rate caps (floors) are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash payments (receipts) which would occur if variable interest rates rise above (below) the strike rate of the caps (floors). The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected payments (receipts) on the cap (floor) are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate curves and volatilities. The fair value of foreign currency option and collar is based on a Black-Scholes model tailored for currency derivatives.

Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company as of the period end and requires a significant amount of judgment. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of value at a future date could be materially different.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On October 31, 2019, the Advisor Agreement terminated and the Advisor ceased to serve as the Company’s advisor or have any advisory responsibility to the Company immediately following the filing of the Third Quarter 10-Q with the SEC. The Advisory Agreement entitled the Advisor to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the investment of funds in real estate and real estate-related investments and the disposition of real estate and real estate-related investments (including the discounted payoff of non-performing loans) among other services, as well as reimbursement of certain costs incurred by the Advisor in providing services to the Company. The Advisory Agreement also entitled the Advisor to certain back-end cash flow participation fees. The Company also entered into a fee reimbursement agreement (the “AIP Reimbursement Agreement”) with KBS Capital Markets Group LLC, the dealer manager for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Dealer Manager”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the Dealer Manager for certain fees and expenses it incurs for administering the Company’s participation in the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation Alternative Investment Product Platform with respect to certain accounts of the Company’s investors serviced through the platform. The Advisor and Dealer Manager also serve as, or previously served as, the advisor and dealer manager, respectively, for KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“KBS REIT I”), KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“KBS REIT II”), KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc. (“KBS REIT III”), KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc. (“KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT”), Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT II, Inc. (“Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT II”) and KBS Growth & Income REIT, Inc. (“KBS Growth & Income REIT”).

(unaudited)
On January 6, 2014, the Company, together with KBS REIT I, KBS REIT II, KBS REIT III, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT II, the Dealer Manager, the Advisor and other KBS-affiliated entities, entered into an errors and omissions and directors and officers liability insurance program where the lower tiers of such insurance coverage are shared. The cost of these lower tiers is allocated by the Advisor and its insurance broker among each of the various entities covered by the program, and is billed directly to each entity. In June 2015, KBS Growth & Income REIT was added to the insurance program at terms similar to those described above. KBS REIT I elected to cease participation in the program at the June 2017 renewal and obtained separate insurance coverage. At renewal in June 2018, the Company, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT II and KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT elected to cease participation in the program and obtain separate insurance coverage. The Company, together with Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT II, entered into an errors and omissions and directors and officers liability insurance program where the lower tiers of such insurance coverage are shared. The cost of these lower tiers is allocated by the Advisor and its insurance broker among each REIT covered by the program, and is billed directly to each REIT. The program is effective through June 30, 2020.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, no other business transactions occurred between the Company and these other KBS-sponsored programs.
Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, summarized below are the related-party costs incurred by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and any related amounts payable as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

(1) The Advisor may seek reimbursement for certain employee costs under the Advisory Agreement. The Company has reimbursed the Advisor for the Company’s allocable portion of the salaries, benefits and overhead of internal audit department personnel providing services to the Company. These amounts totaled $65,000 and $198,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $74,000 and $235,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and were the only employee costs reimbursed under the Advisory Agreement during these periods. The Company will not reimburse for employee costs in connection with services for which the Advisor earns acquisition, origination or disposition fees (other than reimbursement of travel and communication expenses) or for the salaries or benefits the Advisor or its affiliates may pay to the Company’s executive officers. In addition to the amounts above, the Company reimburses the Advisor for certain of the Company’s direct costs incurred from third parties that were initially paid by the Advisor on behalf of the Company.
(2) Disposition fees with respect to real estate sold are included in the gain on sale of real estate in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Advisor reimbursed the Company $0.1 million for a property insurance rebate.
On November 8, 2017, the Company sold 11 of its properties to various subsidiaries of Keppel Pacific Oak US REIT (the “SREIT”), previously known as Keppel-KBS US REIT. On November 30, 2018, the Company sold a portfolio of 21 office/flex/industrial buildings to the SREIT. On November 1, 2019, the Company sold 125 John Carpenter to the SREIT. The SREIT is externally managed by a joint venture (the “Manager”) between (i) an entity in which Keith D. Hall, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, and Peter McMillan III, the Company’s President and Chairman of the board of directors, have an indirect ownership interest and (ii) Keppel Capital Holding Pte. Ltd., which is not affiliated with the Company. The SREIT is expected to pay certain purchase and sale commissions and asset management fees to the Manager in exchange for the provision of certain management services.
On March 20, 2019, Pacific Oak Battery Point Holdings, LLC, a real estate asset management company formed in 2019, and its family of companies (collectively, “Pacific Oak”), acquired all the common equity interests in BPT Holdings, LLC (“Battery Point Holdings”). Battery Point Holdings owns (a) the common stock in Battery Point Trust, Inc. (“Battery Point”), (b) all the service entities that provide advisory, servicing and property management services to Battery Point Holdings generally named “DayMark”, and (c) 40% of additional DayMark entities that purchase, renovate, lease and sell single-family residential homes to Battery Point. As owner of Battery Point Holdings, Pacific Oak will be responsible for funding the ongoing operations of Battery Point Holdings and its subsidiaries. The affiliated DayMark service entities will be paid annual asset management fees equal to 1.5% of the gross asset value of Battery Point, annual property management fees equal to 8% of tenants’ rents received by Battery Point, and acquisition fees of 1% of the gross purchase price of properties acquired. The affiliated DayMark service entities will also receive fees from tenants upon execution of leases and a 1% commission from sellers of properties into the program, if it acts as the broker for the seller.
Pacific Oak is a group of companies founded and owned by Keith D. Hall, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, and Peter McMillan III, the Company’s President and Chairman of the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had 210,000 shares of Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units with a per-unit price of $25.
On June 27, 2019, the Company made a $5.0 million investment in the Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I (defined below). Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I is sponsored by Pacific Oak. Pacific Oak is entitled to certain fees in connection with the fund. The fund will pay an acquisition fee equal to 1.5% of the purchase price of each asset (including any debt incurred or assumed and significant capital improvement costs budgeted as of the date of acquisition) with a purchase price less than or equal to $25.0 million plus 1.0% of the purchase price in excess of $25.0 million; a quarterly asset management fee equal to 0.25% of the total purchase price of all assets (including any debt incurred or assumed and significant capital improvement costs budgeted as of the date of acquisition) as of the end of the applicable quarter; and a financing fee equal to 0.5% of the original principal amount of any indebtedness they incur (reduced by any financing fee previously paid with respect to indebtedness being refinanced). In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the fees above will be determined based on our proportionate share of the investment. Pacific Oak is also entitled to certain distributions paid by the Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I after the Class A Members have received their preferred return. These fees and distributions have been waived for the Company’s $5.0 million investment.

On October 7, 2019, the Company and the Advisor agreed to renew the Advisory Agreement through October 31, 2019, which would be the termination date. In connection with that agreement, the Company and the Advisor amended the terms of the subordinated performance fee due upon termination (the “Performance Fee”). As amended, the Performance Fee due to the Advisor upon termination of the Advisory Agreement is payable in restricted stock units (“RSUs”) instead of a promissory note. The RSUs will be subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) the RSUs will be payable upon the completion of the orderly transition of advisor functions from the Advisor to a new advisor or other management as measured by the completion and filing with the SEC of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2019; (ii) each RSU will represent the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock; (iii) the total number of RSUs issued will equal the number of shares (with each share valued at the Company’s estimated per share net asset valuation approved by the board of directors on November 12, 2018 (the “2018 NAV”)) with an aggregate value equal to the subordinated share of cash flows (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) based on a hypothetical liquidation of the Company’s assets and liabilities at their then-current estimated values used in the 2018 NAV calculation, less any potential amounts to be paid as closing costs and fees related to the disposition of real property; (iv) the total number of RSUs payable shall be calculated in good faith by the Advisor and approved by the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors; (v) the RSUs shall vest on November 1, 2021; (vi) for each RSU payable, upon vesting, the Advisor shall have the right to be paid with one share of the Company’s common stock, and may elect to receive up to 50% of such payment in cash rather than shares, with the amount of the cash payment determined based on the then most recent board of directors-approved net asset value of the shares (which shall not be more than six months old); (vii) each RSU shall, from October 31, 2019, accrue and be paid dividend equivalents equal to any distributions accrued on the shares from October 31, 2019 (any distributions accrued between October 31, 2019 and the RSU payment date will accrue retroactively and be paid on the later of the RSU payment date or the date the Company’s stockholders are paid the relevant distribution(s)); and (viii) any shares received upon vesting of RSUs shall not be eligible for redemption under the Company’s share redemption program unless it has satisfied all outstanding redemption requests from other stockholders provided that (a) this restriction may be waived in certain situations, such as upon a change of control of the company, as determined by the board of directors and (b) notwithstanding the foregoing, after November 1, 2024, the Company shall, upon request of the KBS Capital Advisors, be required to redeem any remaining outstanding shares received upon vesting of RSUs, separate and outside of any general stockholder share redemption program, at the then most recent board of directors-approved net asset value per share, provided that such outstanding shares are owned or controlled by Charles J. Schreiber, Jr. or the estate of Peter M. Bren, and provided further that pursuant to this clause (b) the Company shall only be required to redeem that number shares which, when added to any previously redeemed shares owned or controlled by Charles J. Schreiber, Jr. or the estate of Peter M. Bren, does not exceed two-thirds of the total number of shares delivered upon vesting of the RSUs (i.e. excluding any portion of the RSUs settled with cash upon vesting rather than shares pursuant to clause (vi) above).
Effective November 1, 2019, the Company hired Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, LLC as its new external advisor. The terms of the advisory agreement are substantially the same as those of the KBS Capital Advisors advisory agreement, except that the performance fees were modified to take into account the performance fee due upon termination due to the Advisor (the “Prior Advisor Performance Fee Value”), as shown below.

Subordinated Participation in Net Cash Flows (payable only if the Company is not listed on a national exchange)
After investors in the Company’s offerings have received, together as a collective group, aggregate distributions (including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) sufficient to provide (i) a return of their net invested capital, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by any amounts to repurchase shares pursuant to the Company’s share redemption program, (ii) a 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such net invested capital, and (iii) the value of the Prior Advisor Performance Fee Value, the advisor is entitled to receive 15.0% of the Company’s net cash flows, whether from continuing operations, net sale proceeds or otherwise. Net sales proceeds means the net cash proceeds realized by the Company after deduction of all expenses incurred in connection with a sale, including disposition fees paid to Pacific Oak Capital Advisors. The 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on net invested capital is calculated on a daily basis. In making this calculation, the net invested capital is reduced to the extent distributions in excess of a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of 7.0% are paid (from whatever source), except to the extent such distributions would be required to supplement prior distributions paid in order to achieve a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of 7.0% (invested capital is only reduced as described in this sentence; it is not reduced simply because a distribution constitutes a return of capital for federal income tax purposes). The 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return is not based on the return provided to any individual stockholder. Accordingly, it is not necessary for each of the Company’s stockholders to have received any minimum return in order for Pacific Oak Capital Advisors to participate in the Company’s net cash flows. In fact, if Pacific Oak Capital Advisors is entitled to participate in the Company’s net cash flows, the returns of the Company’s stockholders will differ, and some may be less than a 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return. This fee is payable only if the Company is not listed on an exchange.
Subordinated Incentive Listing Fee (payable only if the Company is listed on a national exchange)
Upon listing the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange, the advisor is entitled to a fee equal to 15.0% of the amount by which the market value of the Company’s outstanding stock plus distributions paid by the Company (including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) prior to listing exceeds the aggregate of (i) the sum of the Company’s stockholders’ net invested capital, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by any amounts to repurchase shares pursuant to the Company’s share redemption program, and the amount of cash flow necessary to generate a 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such amount and (ii) the Prior Advisor Performance Fee Value. The 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on net invested capital is calculated on a daily basis. In making this calculation, the net invested capital is reduced to the extent distributions in excess of a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of 7.0% are paid (from whatever source), except to the extent such distributions would be required to supplement prior distributions paid in order to achieve a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of 7.0% (invested capital is only reduced as described in this sentence; it is not reduced simply because a distribution constitutes a return of capital for federal income tax purposes). The 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return is not based on the return provided to any individual stockholder. Accordingly, it is not necessary for each of the Company’s stockholders to have received any minimum return in order for Pacific Oak Capital Advisors to receive the listing fee. In fact, if Pacific Oak Capital Advisors is entitled to the listing fee, the returns of the Company’s stockholders will differ, and some may be less than a 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return.

Subordinated Performance Fee Due Upon Termination
Upon termination of the advisory agreement, unless terminated by the Company for cause, the advisor may be entitled to a termination fee if (based upon an independent appraised value of the portfolio) the advisor would have been entitled to a subordinated participation in net cash flows had the portfolio been liquidated on the termination date. The termination fee would be payable in the form of a promissory note that becomes due only upon the sale of one or more assets or upon maturity or payoff of the Company’s debt investments. The fee is payable solely from the proceeds from the sale, maturity or payoff of an asset and future asset sales, maturities or payoffs, and all of such proceeds must be used to repay the promissory note until it is fully repaid. The amount of the termination fee would be 15% of the amount by which the hypothetical liquidation proceeds exceed the aggregate of (i) the amount necessary to provide investors with a return of their net invested capital and a 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return through the termination date and (ii) the Prior Advisor Performance Fee Value; however, the agreement does not require that the investors actually have received such return prior to issuance of the promissory note or payments under it. The amount due under the promissory note would not be adjusted upwards or downwards to reflect any difference in the appraised value of the Company’s portfolio at termination and the amount ultimately realized by the Company.

Investment in National Industrial Portfolio Joint Venture
On May 18, 2012, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a joint venture (the “NIP Joint Venture”) with OCM NIP JV Holdings, L.P. and HC KBS NIP JV, LLC (“HC-KBS”). The NIP Joint Venture has invested in a portfolio of industrial properties. The Company made an initial capital contribution of $8.0 million, which represents less than a 5.0% ownership interest in the NIP Joint Venture as of September 30, 2019.
Prior to January 17, 2018, KBS REIT I, an affiliate of the Advisor, was a member of HC-KBS and had a participation interest in certain future potential profits generated by the NIP Joint Venture. However, KBS REIT I did not have any equity interest in the NIP Joint Venture. On January 17, 2018, KBS REIT I assigned its participation interest in the NIP Joint Venture to one of the other joint venture partners in the NIP Joint Venture. None of the other joint venture partners are affiliated with the Company or the Advisor.

Investment in 110 William Joint Venture
On December 23, 2013, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement with SREF III 110 William JV, LLC (the “110 William JV Partner”) to form a joint venture (the “110 William Joint Venture”). On May 2, 2014, the 110 William Joint Venture acquired an office property containing 928,157 rentable square feet located on approximately 0.8 acres of land in New York, New York (“110 William Street”). Each of the Company and the 110 William JV Partner hold a 60% and 40% ownership interest in the 110 William Joint Venture, respectively.
The Company exercises significant influence over the operations, financial policies and decision making with respect to the 110 William Joint Venture but significant decisions require approval from both members. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for its investment in the 110 William Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting. Income, losses, contributions and distributions are generally allocated based on the members’ respective equity interests.
As of December 31, 2018, the book value of the Company’s investment in the 110 William Joint Venture was $0.3 million, which includes $1.4 million of unamortized acquisition fees and expenses incurred directly by the Company. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded $1.6 million and $4.7 million equity in loss from the 110 William Joint Venture, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company did not receive any distributions related to its investment in the 110 William Joint Venture.
As of September 30, 2019, the book value of the Company’s investment in the 110 William Joint Venture was $0. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $7.5 million equity in income from the 110 William Joint Venture, which includes a $7.8 million gain related to a distribution received, net of the Company’s share of net losses of $0.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the 110 William Joint Venture made a $7.8 million distribution to the Company and a $5.2 million distribution to the 110 William JV Partner funded with proceeds from the 110 William refinancing (discussed below). The distribution exceeded the book value of the Company’s investment in the 110 William Joint Venture, and the Company recorded the $7.8 million distribution as a gain included in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This gain was recorded because the Company determined that the distribution is not refundable and it does not have an implicit or explicit commitment to fund the 110 William Joint Venture. The Company will suspend the equity method of accounting and will not record the Company's share of losses and will not record the Company's share of any subsequent income for the 110 William Joint Venture until the Company’s share of net income exceeds the gain recorded and the Company’s share of the net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended.

110 William Street Refinancing
On March 7, 2019, the 110 William Joint Venture closed on refinancing of the 110 William Street existing loans (the “Refinancing”). The 110 William Joint Venture repaid $268.0 million of principal related to the existing 110 William Street loans. The Refinancing is comprised of a mortgage loan with Invesco CMI Investments, L.P., an unaffiliated lender, for borrowings of up to $261.4 million, which is secured by 110 William Street (the “110 William Street Mortgage Loan”) and a mezzanine loan with Invesco CMI Investments, L.P., an unaffiliated lender, for borrowings of up to $87.1 million (the “110 William Street Mezzanine Loan”). The 110 William Street Mortgage Loan is comprised of a senior mortgage loan of $215.5 million (the “Senior Mortgage Loan”) and an amended and restated building loan of $45.9 million (the “Building Loan”) to be used for future tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital expenditures.
The 110 William Street Mortgage Loan and the 110 William Street Mezzanine Loan mature on April 9, 2021, with three one year extension options. The 110 William Street Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate of the greater of (a) 3.5% or (b) 150 basis points over one-month LIBOR. The 110 William Street Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a rate of the greater of (a) 6.9% or (b) 490 basis points over one-month LIBOR. The 110 William Joint Venture entered into an interest rate cap that effectively limits one-month LIBOR at 3.75% on $348.5 million, effective March 7, 2019 through March 15, 2021. The 110 William Street Mortgage Loan and the 110 William Street Mezzanine Loan have monthly payments that are interest-only with the entire unpaid principal balance and all outstanding interest and fees due at maturity. The 110 William Joint Venture has the right to prepay the loans at any time in whole, but not in part, subject to a prepayment fee if prepaid prior to May 9, 2020 and subject to certain other conditions contained in the loan documents. At closing, $210.8 million of the Senior Mortgage Loan and $70.3 million of the 110 William Street Mezzanine Loan was funded with $4.7 million of the Senior Mortgage Loan, $45.9 million of the Building Loan and $16.8 million of the 110 William Street Mezzanine Loan available for future funding, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents.
Investment in 353 Sacramento Joint Venture
On July 6, 2017, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement with the Migdal Members to form a joint venture (the “353 Sacramento Joint Venture”). On July 6, 2017, the Company sold a 45% equity interest in an entity that owns an office building containing 284,751 rentable square feet located on approximately 0.35 acres of land in San Francisco, California (“353 Sacramento”) to the Migdal Members. The sale resulted in 353 Sacramento being owned by the 353 Sacramento Joint Venture, in which the Company indirectly owns 55% of the equity interests and the Migdal Members indirectly own 45% in the aggregate of the equity interests.
The Company exercises significant influence over the operations, financial policies and decision making with respect to the 353 Sacramento Joint Venture but significant decisions require approval from both members. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for its investment in the 353 Sacramento Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting. Income, losses, contributions and distributions are generally allocated based on the members’ respective equity interests.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company did not receive any distributions related to its investment in the 353 Sacramento Joint Venture. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company made a $1.3 million contribution to the 353 Sacramento Joint Venture.

Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units
Beginning October 28, 2016, the Company invested in Battery Point Series B Preferred Units which were classified as real estate debt securities on the Company’s accompanying balance sheets (see note 6 “Real Estate Debt Securities” for further information). On March 20, 2019, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a redemption agreement for the Battery Point Series B Preferred Units. The redemption agreement resulted in the redemption of the Company’s entire investment of 13,000 Series B Preferred Units with a per-unit price of $1,000 with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $13.0 million. The Company received a principal paydown of $7.7 million plus accrued interest and an exit fee. In addition, the Company received 210,000 shares of Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units with a per-unit price of $25 with an aggregate face amount of $5.3 million. The Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units are entitled to a monthly dividend based on an annual rate of 7.5%. The annual dividend rate increases to 10% for the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units not redeemed by February 28, 2020 and to 11% for the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units not redeemed by February 28, 2021. On each monthly dividend payment date, Battery Point has the obligation to use 20% of the net proceeds of any and all future equity capital raising to redeem the Series A-3 Preferred Units. The Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units are redeemable at any time by Battery Point and holders of Series A-3 Preferred Shares may elect to redeem their units beginning on February 28, 2021, subject to Battery Point’s board of directors’ determination that the company has sufficient cash.

The Company does not have a unilateral right to redeem the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units on a stated redemption date, therefore the Company classified the Series A-3 Preferred Units as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value. In accordance with FASB ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities, the Company may elect to measure an equity investment without a readily determinable value that does not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share, at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company elected to measure its investment in the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units in accordance with the above accounting guidance and recorded its investment in the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units as of September 30, 2019, at a carrying value of $3.0 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company received distributions of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which were recognized as dividend income from real estate equity securities.
Investment in Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I
On June 27, 2019, the Company acquired 22 Class A Units for $5.0 million in Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I, LLC (“Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I”). As of September 30, 2019, the book value of the Company’s investment in Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I was $5.1 million, which includes $0.1 million of acquisition fees. As of September 30, 2019, Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I consolidated one joint venture with real estate under development. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has concluded that Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I qualifies as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) because there is insufficient equity at risk to finance the entity’s activities and the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The Company concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE since it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and will account for its investment under the equity method of accounting.
The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this VIE is limited to the carrying value of the investment in Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I which totaled $5.1 million as of September 30, 2019.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Economic Dependency
The Company is dependent on the Advisor for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, origination, acquisition and disposition of investments; management of the daily operations of the Company’s investment portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that the Advisor is unable to provide these services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Although there can be no assurance, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations as of September 30, 2019. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and the possible range of loss. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.
Performance Fee Liability
Performance fee as of September 30, 2019
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement in effect with the Advisor as of September 30, 2019, the Advisor was due a subordinated participation in the Company’s net cash flows (the “Incentive Fee”) if, after the stockholders have received, together as a collective group, aggregate distributions (including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) sufficient to provide (i) a return of their net invested capital, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by any amounts to repurchase shares pursuant to the share redemption program, and (ii) a 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such net invested capital, the Advisor is entitled to receive 15.0% of the Company’s net cash flows, whether from continuing operations, net sale proceeds or otherwise. Net sales proceeds means the net cash proceeds realized by the Company after deduction of all expenses incurred in connection with a sale, including disposition fees paid to the Advisor. The 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on net invested capital is calculated on a daily basis. In making this calculation, the net invested capital is reduced to the extent distributions in excess of a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of 7.0% are paid (from whatever source), except to the extent such distributions would be required to supplement prior distributions paid in order to achieve a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of 7.0% (invested capital is only reduced as described in this sentence; it is not reduced simply because a distribution constitutes a return of capital for federal income tax purposes). The 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return is not based on the return provided to any individual stockholder. Accordingly, it is not necessary for each of the stockholders to have received any minimum return in order for the Advisor to participate in the Company’s net cash flows. In fact, if the Advisor is entitled to participate in the Company’s net cash flows, the returns of the stockholders will differ, and some may be less than a 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return. This fee was payable only if we are not listed on an exchange.

On April 4, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved the acceleration of the payment of such incentive compensation, subject to certain conditions. Such accelerated payment would require approval by a special committee of the Company’s board of directors in connection with the anticipated conversion of the Company into a net asset value REIT. The Advisor estimated the liability to be as much as $33.8 million as of September 30, 2018, based on a hypothetical liquidation of the assets and liabilities at their estimated fair values, after considering the impact of any potential closing costs and fees related to the disposition of real estate properties. The Incentive Fee was not payable to the Advisor as of September 30, 2019, as it remained subject to further approval by the special committee and the Company’s conversion to a perpetual-life NAV REIT.
Performance fee due to Advisor as of October 31, 2019
As described in Note 11 above, on October 7, 2019, the Company and the Advisor agreed to renew the Advisory Agreement through October 31, 2019, which would be the termination date. In connection with that agreement, the Company and the Advisor amended the terms of the subordinated performance fee due upon termination (the “Performance Fee”). As amended, the Performance Fee due to the Advisor upon termination of the Advisory Agreement is payable in restricted stock units (“RSUs”) instead of a promissory note.
Performance fee due to Pacific Oak Capital Advisors under new advisory agreement
As described in Note 11 above, effective November 1, 2019, the Company hired Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, LLC as its new external advisor. The terms of the advisory agreement are substantially the same as those of the KBS Capital Advisors advisory agreement, except that the performance fees were modified to take into account the performance fee due upon termination due to the Advisor, as shown in Note 11 above.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Resignation of Officers
On October 31, 2019, Jeffrey K. Waldvogel notified the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) of his resignation as Secretary and Treasurer of the Company effective immediately and of his resignation as Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective immediately following the filing of the Third Quarter 10-Q with SEC. Also on October 31, 2019, Stacie K. Yamane notified the Board of her resignation as Chief Accounting Officer of the Company immediately following the filing of the Third Quarter 10-Q with the SEC.
Appointment of New Chief Financial Officer
On October 31, 2019, the Board appointed Michael A. Bender to serve as Executive Vice President, Treasury, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer-Elect of the Company effective as of November 1, 2019, and as Chief Financial Officer effective immediately following the filing by the Company of the Third Quarter 10-Q with the SEC. As Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Bender will serve as principal financial officer and principal accounting officer for the Company.

On November 4, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of Reven Housing REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Reven”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 30, 2019 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, SOR PORT Holdings, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Parent”), SOR PORT, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Reven. Reven is an internally managed Maryland corporation that engages in the acquisition, ownership and operation of portfolios of leased single-family homes in the United States. However, following the acquisition, all the employees were terminated and Pacific Oak Capital Advisors took over management responsibility of Reven.

(unaudited)
On the Closing Date, as a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of Reven common stock, par value $0.01 per share, was converted into the right to receive $5.13 in cash from Parent, which amount was funded from the Company.
The aggregate value of the consideration paid to former holders of Reven common stock described above in connection with the Merger was approximately $56.6 million in cash. The Company is in process of assessing the fair value of the acquired tangible assets, liabilities assumed and any applicable intangible assets and liabilities for this business combination.
At the closing of the Merger, Reven changed its name to Pacific Oak Residential Trust, Inc. (“PORT”). On November 5, 2019, PORT issued and sold 15,000 shares, at a price of $1,000 per share for an aggregate of $15.0 million of shares of “6.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock”, that are exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
Real Estate Disposition Subsequent to September 30, 2019
125 John Carpenter
On November 1, 2019, the Company sold 125 John Carpenter to a wholly owned subsidiary of the SREIT. The sale price, net of closing credits, of 125 John Carpenter was $99.8 million. As of September 30, 2019, the carrying value of 125 John Carpenter was $82.4 million, which was net of $8.6 million of accumulated depreciation and amortization. In connection with the sale of 125 John Carpenter, the Company repaid $53.2 million of outstanding debt secured by the 125 John Carpenter.
Prior to the sale of 125 John Carpenter, the Company owned 56,979,352 common units of the SREIT, representing a 6.89% ownership interest. On October 29, 2019, the Company purchased 7,186,000 common units of the SREIT for $5.2 million in connection with a private placement to institutional and other investors, maintaining its 6.89% ownership interest.
Performance Fee Due to Advisor as of October 31, 2019
As described in Note 11 above, on October 7, 2019, the Company and the Advisor agreed to renew the Advisory Agreement through October 31, 2019, which would be the termination date. In connection with that agreement, the Company and the Advisor amended the terms of the subordinated performance fee due upon termination (the “Performance Fee”). As amended, the Performance Fee due to the Advisor upon termination of the Advisory Agreement is payable in restricted stock units (“RSUs”) instead of a promissory note.
Performance Fee Due to Pacific Oak Capital Advisors Under New Advisory Agreement
As described in Note 11 above, effective November 1, 2019, the Company hired Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, LLC as its new external advisor. The terms of the advisory agreement are substantially the same as those of the KBS Capital Advisors advisory agreement, except that the performance fees were modified to take into account the performance fee due upon termination due to the Advisor, as shown in Note 11 above.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “Operating Partnership,” and to their subsidiaries.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
•We depend on our advisor to conduct our operations and eventually dispose of our investments.
•Because our new advisor, Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, was recently formed, it could face challenges with employee hiring and retention, information technology, vendor relationships, and funding; if Pacific Oak Capital Advisors faces challenges in performing its obligations to us, it could negatively impact our ability to achieve our investment objectives.
•We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from our property investments could decrease due to a reduction in tenants (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases) and/or lower rental rates, limiting our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
•Our opportunistic investment strategy involves a higher risk of loss than would a strategy of investing in some other types of real estate and real estate-related investments.
•We have paid distributions from financings and in the future we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operations or gains from asset sales. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations or gains from asset sales, we will have less funds available for investment in loans, properties and other assets, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors may experience dilution.
•All of our executive officers and some of our directors and other key real estate and debt finance professionals are also officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our former or current advisor, our dealer manager and other KBS or Pacific Oak-affiliated entities. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our former or current advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other KBS or Pacific Oak-advised programs and investors and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions. Fees paid to our former or current advisor in connection with transactions involving the origination, acquisition and management of our investments are based on the cost of the investment, not on the quality of the investment or services rendered to us. This arrangement could influence our former or current advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us.
•We pay substantial fees to and expenses of our advisor and its affiliates. These payments increase the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us and increase our stockholders’ risk of loss.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
•We cannot predict with any certainty how much, if any, of our dividend reinvestment plan proceeds will be available for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the redemption of shares under our share redemption program, future funding obligations under any real estate loans receivable we acquire, the funding of capital expenditures on our real estate investments or the repayment of debt. If such funds are not available from the dividend reinvestment plan offering, then we may have to use a greater proportion of our cash flow from operations to meet these cash requirements, which would reduce cash available for distributions and could limit our ability to redeem shares under our share redemption program.
•We have focused, and may continue to focus, our investments in non-performing real estate and real estate-related loans, real estate-related loans secured by non-stabilized assets and real estate-related securities, which involve more risk than investments in performing real estate and real estate-related assets
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Overview
We were formed on October 8, 2008 as a Maryland corporation, elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010 and intend to operate in such manner. KBS Capital Advisors LLC (“KBS Capital Advisors”) was our advisor. On October 31, 2019, KBS Capital Advisors ceased to serve as our advisor or have any advisory responsibility to us immediately following the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2019 (the “Third Quarter 10-Q”) with the SEC. On November 1, 2019, we entered into a new advisory agreement with Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (“Pacific Oak Capital Advisors”). The new advisory agreement is effective as of November 1, 2019 through November 1, 2020; however the Company may terminate the advisory agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 30 days’ written notice and Pacific Oak Capital Advisors may terminate the advisory agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 90 days’ written notice. The terms of the advisory agreement are consistent with those of the advisory agreement that was previously in effect with the Advisor, except as described in Note 11.
As our advisor, Pacific Oak Capital Advisors manages our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of investments. Pacific Oak Capital Advisors also has the authority to make all of the decisions regarding our investments, subject to the limitations in our charter and the direction and oversight of our board of directors. Pacific Oak Capital Advisors also provides asset-management, marketing, investor-relations and other administrative services on our behalf. We have sought to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of real estate-related loans, opportunistic real estate, real estate-related debt securities and other real estate-related investments. We conduct our business primarily through our operating partnership, of which we are the sole general partner.
On January 8, 2009, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a minimum of 250,000 shares and a maximum of 140,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public, of which 100,000,000 shares were registered in our primary offering and 40,000,000 shares were registered under our dividend reinvestment plan. We ceased offering shares of common stock in our primary offering on November 14, 2012. We sold 56,584,976 shares of common stock in the primary offering for gross offering proceeds of $561.7 million. We continue to offer shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan. As of September 30, 2019, we had sold 6,827,874 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $76.3 million. Also as of September 30, 2019, we had redeemed 23,561,121 of the shares sold in our offering for $282.8 million. As of September 30, 2019, we had issued 25,976,746 shares of common stock in connection with special dividends. Additionally, on December 29, 2011 and October 23, 2012, we issued 220,994 shares and 55,249 shares of common stock, respectively, for $2.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in private transactions exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On March 2, 2016, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. (“Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI”), our wholly owned subsidiary, filed a final prospectus with the Israel Securities Authority for a proposed offering of up to 1,000,000,000 Israeli new Shekels of Series A debentures (the “Debentures”) at an annual interest rate not to exceed 4.25%. On March 1, 2016, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI commenced the institutional tender of the Debentures and accepted application for 842.5 million Israeli new Shekels. On March 7, 2016, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI commenced the public tender of the Debentures and accepted 127.7 million Israeli new Shekels. In the aggregate, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI accepted 970.2 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $249.2 million as of March 8, 2016) in both the institutional and public tenders at an annual interest rate of 4.25%. Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI issued the Debentures on March 8, 2016. The terms of the Debentures require five equal principal installment payments annually on March 1st of each year from 2019 to 2023.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
As of September 30, 2019, we consolidated seven office properties, one office portfolio consisting of four office buildings and 14 acres of undeveloped land, one apartment property and three investments in undeveloped land with approximately 1,000 developable acres and owned five investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and four investments in real estate equity securities.
Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets
Volatility in global financial markets and changing political environments can cause fluctuations in the performance of the U.S. commercial real estate markets. Possible future declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows from investment properties. To the extent there are increases in the cost of financing due to higher interest rates, this may cause difficulty in refinancing debt obligations at terms as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. Further, increases in interest rates would increase the amount of our debt payments on our variable rate debt to the extent the interest rates on such debt are not limited by interest rate caps. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments. Management continuously reviews our investment and debt financing strategies to optimize our portfolio and the cost of our debt exposure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demand for funds during the short and long-term is and will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related investments, payment of operating expenses, capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses, payments under debt obligations, redemptions and purchases of our common stock and payments of distributions to stockholders. To date, we have had six primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements:
•Proceeds from the primary portion of our initial public offering;
•Proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan;
•Proceeds from our public bond offering in Israel;
•Debt financing;
•Proceeds from the sale of real estate and the repayment of real estate-related investments; and
•Cash flow generated by our real estate and real estate-related investments.
We sold 56,584,976 shares of common stock in the primary portion of our initial public offering for gross offering proceeds of $561.7 million. We ceased offering shares in the primary portion of our initial public offering on November 14, 2012. We continue to offer shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan. As of September 30, 2019, we had sold 6,827,874 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $76.3 million. To date, we have invested all of the net proceeds from our initial public offering in real estate and real estate-related investments. We intend to use our cash on hand, proceeds from asset sales, proceeds from debt financing, cash flow generated by our real estate operations and real estate-related investments and proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan as our primary sources of immediate and long-term liquidity.
Our investments in real estate generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, which are reduced by operating expenditures and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from our real estate investments is primarily dependent upon the occupancy levels of our properties, the net effective rental rates on our leases, the collectibility of rent and operating recoveries from our tenants and how well we manage our expenditures. As of September 30, 2019, our office and retail properties were collectively 81% occupied and our apartment property was 90% occupied.
Investments in real estate equity securities generate cash flow in the form of dividend income, which is reduced by asset management fees. As of September 30, 2019, we had four investments in real estate equity securities outstanding with a total carrying value of $79.1 million.
Under our charter, we are required to limit our total operating expenses to the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters, as these terms are defined in our charter, unless the conflicts committee of our board of directors has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. Operating expense reimbursements for the four fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2019 did not exceed the charter-imposed limitation.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our cash needs for capital expenditures, redemptions of common stock and debt servicing were met with proceeds from dispositions of real estate, real estate equity securities and undeveloped land, proceeds from debt financing, proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan and cash on hand. Operating cash needs during the same period were met through cash flow generated by our real estate and real estate-related investments and cash on hand. As of September 30, 2019, we had outstanding debt obligations in the aggregate principal amount of $668.1 million, with a weighted-average remaining term of 2.0 years. As of September 30, 2019, we had a total of $137.5 million of debt obligations scheduled to mature within 12 months of that date. We plan to exercise our extension options available under our loan agreements or pay down or refinance the related notes payable prior to their maturity dates.
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT and intend to operate as a REIT. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. We have not established a minimum distribution level.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
As of September 30, 2019, we consolidated seven office properties, one office portfolio consisting of four office buildings and 14 acres of undeveloped land, one apartment property and three investments in undeveloped land with approximately 1,000 developable acres and owned five investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and four investments in real estate equity securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $2.1 million. We expect that our cash flows from operating activities will increase in future periods as a result of leasing additional space that is currently unoccupied and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments. However, our cash flows from operating activities may decrease to the extent that we dispose of additional assets.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $47.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and primarily consisted of the following:
•Acquisition of an office property of $90.3 million;
•Proceeds from the sale of one apartment property and one retail property of $43.2 million;
•Improvements to real estate of $25.8 million;
•Proceeds from the sale of real estate equity securities of $24.1 million;
•Investment in real estate equity securities of $10.0 million;
•Distribution of capital from unconsolidated joint ventures of $8.1 million;
•Proceeds from the principal repayment on real estate debt securities of $7.8 million;
•Contributions to unconsolidated joint venture of $5.1 million; and
•Insurance proceeds received for property damages of $0.4 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and consisted primarily of the following:
•$9.9 million of net cash provided by debt and other financings as a result of proceeds from notes payable of $84.3 million, partially offset by principal payments on notes and bonds payable of $73.3 million and payments of deferred financing costs of $1.1 million;
•$7.4 million of cash used for redemptions of common stock;
•$3.8 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests;
•$1.8 million of net cash provided by the issuance of $1.9 million of preferred membership units of our subsidiary, partially offset by sale commissions and other costs of $0.1 million; and
•$0.9 million of net cash distributions to stockholders, after giving effect to distributions reinvested by stockholders of $0.8 million.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
In order to execute our investment strategy, we utilize secured debt and we may, to the extent available, utilize unsecured debt, to finance a portion of our investment portfolio. Management remains vigilant in monitoring the risks inherent with the use of debt in our portfolio and is taking actions to ensure that these risks, including refinancing and interest risks, are properly balanced with the benefit of using leverage. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow for any single investment. Our charter limits our total liabilities such that our total liabilities may not exceed 75% of the cost of our tangible assets; however, we may exceed that limit if a majority of the conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of our charter limitation and we disclose such borrowing to our common stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. As of September 30, 2019, our borrowings and other liabilities were approximately 69% of the cost (before depreciation and other noncash reserves) and 67% of the book value (before depreciation) of our tangible assets.
In March 2016, we, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, issued 970.2 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $249.2 million as of March 8, 2016) in 4.25% bonds to investors in Israel pursuant to a public offering registered in Israel. The bonds have a seven year term, with principal payable in five equal annual installments from 2019 to 2023. On March 1, 2019, we paid the first principal installment payment of 194.0 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $53.6 million as of March 1, 2019). We have used the proceeds from the issuance of these bonds to make additional investments.
In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we use or have used our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor and our dealer manager. During our offering stage, these payments included payments to our dealer manager for selling commissions and dealer manager fees related to sales in our primary offering and payments to our dealer manager and our advisor for reimbursement of certain organization and other offering expenses related both to the primary offering and the dividend reinvestment plan. During our acquisition and development stage, we expect to continue to make payments to our advisor in connection with the selection and origination or purchase of investments, the management of our assets and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us as well as for any dispositions of assets (including the discounted payoff of non-performing loans).
Among the fees payable to our advisor is an asset management fee. With respect to investments in loans and any investments other than real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee calculated, each month, as one-twelfth of 0.75% of the lesser of (i) the amount actually paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment, inclusive of fees and expenses related thereto and the amount of any debt associated with or used to acquire or fund such investment and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, plus the fees and expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment, as of the time of calculation. With respect to investments in real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the sum of the amount paid or allocated to acquire the investment, plus the cost of any subsequent development, construction or improvements to the property, and inclusive of fees and expenses related thereto and the amount of any debt associated with or used to acquire such investment. In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee will be determined based on our proportionate share of the underlying investment, inclusive of our proportionate share of any fees and expenses related thereto.
On October 31, 2019, the KBS Capital Advisors ceased to serve as our advisor or have any advisory responsibility to us immediately following the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2019.
On November 1, 2019, we entered into a new advisory agreement with Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, LLC. The new advisory agreement is effective as of November 1, 2019 through November 1, 2020; however we may terminate the new advisory agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 30 days’ written notice and Pacific Oak Capital Advisors may terminate the new advisory agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 90 days’ written notice. The terms of the new advisory agreement are consistent with those of the advisory agreement that was previously in effect, except as described in Note 11.

(1) Amounts include principal payments only.
(2) Projected interest payments are based on the outstanding principal amounts, maturity dates, foreign currency rates and interest rates in effect at September 30, 2019. We incurred interest expense of $21.3 million, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs of $2.6 million and including interest capitalized of $2.1 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Performance fee as of September 30, 2019
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement in effect with KBS Capital Advisors as of September 30, 2019, KBS Capital Advisors was due a subordinated participation in our net cash flows (the “Incentive Fee”) if, after the stockholders have received, together as a collective group, aggregate distributions (including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) sufficient to provide (i) a return of their net invested capital, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by any amounts to repurchase shares pursuant to the share redemption program, and (ii) a 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such net invested capital, KBS Capital Advisors is entitled to receive 15.0% of our net cash flows, whether from continuing operations, net sale proceeds or otherwise. Net sales proceeds means the net cash proceeds realized by us after deduction of all expenses incurred in connection with a sale, including disposition fees paid to KBS Capital Advisors. The 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on net invested capital is calculated on a daily basis. In making this calculation, the net invested capital is reduced to the extent distributions in excess of a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of 7.0% are paid (from whatever source), except to the extent such distributions would be required to supplement prior distributions paid in order to achieve a cumulative, noncompounded, annual return of 7.0% (invested capital is only reduced as described in this sentence; it is not reduced simply because a distribution constitutes a return of capital for federal income tax purposes). The 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return is not based on the return provided to any individual stockholder. Accordingly, it is not necessary for each of the stockholders to have received any minimum return in order for KBS Capital Advisors to participate in our net cash flows. In fact, if KBS Capital Advisors is entitled to participate in our net cash flows, the returns of the stockholders will differ, and some may be less than a 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return. This fee was payable only if we are not listed on an exchange.
On April 4, 2018, our stockholders approved the acceleration of the payment of such incentive compensation, subject to certain conditions. Such accelerated payment would require approval by a special committee of our board of directors in connection with the anticipated conversion of the REIT into a net asset value REIT. KBS Capital Advisors estimated the liability to be as much as $33.8 million as of September 30, 2018, based on a hypothetical liquidation of the assets and liabilities at their estimated fair values, after considering the impact of any potential closing costs and fees related to the disposition of real estate properties. The Incentive Fee was not payable to KBS Capital Advisors as of September 30, 2019, as it remained subject to further approval by the special committee and our conversion to a perpetual-life NAV REIT.
Performance fee due to Advisor as of October 31, 2019
As described in Note 11 above, on October 7, 2019, we and KBS Capital Advisors agreed to renew the Advisory Agreement through October 31, 2019, which would be the termination date. In connection with that agreement, we and KBS Capital Advisors amended the terms of the subordinated performance fee due upon termination (the “Performance Fee”). As amended, the Performance Fee due to KBS Capital Advisors upon termination of the Advisory Agreement is payable in restricted stock units (“RSUs”) instead of a promissory note.
Performance fee due to Pacific Oak Capital Advisors under new advisory agreement
As described in Note 11 above, effective November 1, 2019, the Company hired Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, LLC as its new external advisor. The terms of the advisory agreement are substantially the same as those of the KBS Capital Advisors advisory agreement, except that the performance fees were modified to take into account the performance fee due upon termination due to KBS Capital Advisors, as shown in Note 11 above.

Results of Operations
Overview
As of September 30, 2018, we consolidated six office properties, one office portfolio consisting of four office buildings and 14 acres of undeveloped land, one office/flex/industrial portfolio consisting of 21 buildings, one retail property, two apartment properties and three investments in undeveloped land with approximately 1,000 developable acres and owned three investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, an investment in real estate debt securities and three investments in real estate equity securities. As of September 30, 2019, we consolidated seven office properties, one office portfolio consisting of four office buildings and 14 acres of undeveloped land, one apartment property and three investments in undeveloped land with approximately 1,000 developable acres and owned five investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and four investments in real estate equity securities. Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 may not be indicative of those in future periods due to acquisition and disposition activities. Additionally, the occupancy in our properties has not been stabilized. As of September 30, 2019, our office properties were collectively 81% occupied and our apartment property was 90% occupied. However, due to the amount of near-term lease expirations, we do not put significant emphasis on quarterly changes in occupancy (positive or negative) in the short run. Our underwriting and valuations are generally more sensitive to “terminal values” that may be realized upon the disposition of the assets in the portfolio and less sensitive to ongoing cash flows generated by the portfolio in the years leading up to an eventual sale. There are no guarantees that occupancies of our assets will increase, or that we will recognize a gain on the sale of our assets. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of leasing additional space and acquiring additional assets but decrease due to disposition activity.

_____________________
(1) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 related to real estate and real estate-related investments acquired or disposed on or after October 1, 2018.
(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 with respect to real estate and real estate-related investments owned by us during the entirety of both periods presented.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Rental income decreased from $22.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $21.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of properties disposed in 2018 and 2019, partially offset by properties acquired in 2018 and 2019 and an overall increase in rental rates and occupancy for properties held throughout both periods. The occupancy of our office properties, held throughout both periods increased from 74% as of September 30, 2018 to 78% as of September 30, 2019. Annualized base rent per square foot increased from $23.96 as of September 30, 2018 to $25.30 as of September 30, 2019 related to properties (excluding apartments) held throughout both periods. We expect rental income to increase in future periods as a result of leasing additional space and to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.
Other operating income decreased from $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. We expect other operating income to increase in future periods as a result of leasing additional space, increases in parking income as we stabilize properties and to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.
Interest income from real estate debt securities decreased from $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the redemption of real estate debt securities on March 20, 2019.
Dividend income from real estate equity securities decreased from $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the sale of real estate equity securities subsequent to September 30, 2018, partially offset by dividend income from real estate equity securities acquired in 2019. We expect dividend income from real estate equity securities to vary in future periods as a result of the timing of dividends declared and investment activity.
Property operating costs decreased from $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and real estate taxes and insurance increased from $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of properties disposed in 2018 and 2019, partially offset by properties acquired in 2018 and 2019 and properties held throughout both periods. We expect property operating costs and real estate taxes and insurance to increase in future periods to the extent we acquire additional properties, increasing occupancy of our real estate assets and general inflation, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.
Asset management fees decreased from $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of properties disposed in 2018 and 2019, partially offset by properties acquired in 2018 and 2019. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties. All asset management fees incurred as of September 30, 2019 have been paid.
General and administrative expenses increased from $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to increased legal expenses incurred on the Reven (defined below) transaction. We expect general and administrative expenses to fluctuate in future periods based on investment and disposition activity as well as costs incurred to evaluate strategic transactions.
We recognized $5.3 million of foreign currency transaction loss, net for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $8,000 of foreign currency transaction loss, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2018, related to the Series A debentures in Israel. These debentures are denominated in Israeli new Shekels and we expect to recognize foreign transaction gains and losses based on changes in foreign currency exchange rates, but expect our exposure to be limited to the extent that we have entered into foreign currency options and foreign currency collars. As of September 30, 2019, we had entered into one foreign currency collar to hedge against a change in the exchange rate of the Israeli new Shekel versus the U.S. Dollar. The foreign currency collar expires in November 2019 and has an aggregate Israeli new Shekels notional amount of 776.2 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized a $0.4 million gain related to the foreign currency collars, which is shown net against $5.7 million of foreign currency transaction loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as foreign currency transaction loss, net. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized a $0.2 million gain related to the foreign currency collar, which is shown net against $0.2 million of foreign currency transaction loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as foreign currency transaction loss, net.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Depreciation and amortization decreased from $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of properties disposed in 2018 and 2019, partially offset by properties acquired in 2018 and 2019. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods as a result of owning the property acquired during 2019 for an entire period and to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease as a result of amortization of tenant origination costs related to lease expirations and disposition of properties.
Interest expense decreased from $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the paydown of debt on properties disposed in 2018 and 2019 and the March 1, 2019 Debentures principal installment payment of 194.0 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $53.6 million as of March 1, 2019), partially offset by increased borrowings related to properties acquired in 2018 and increased one-month LIBOR rates during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Excluded from interest expense was $0.7 million and $0.6 million of interest capitalized to our investments in undeveloped land during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our interest expense in future periods will vary based on interest rate fluctuations, the amount of interest capitalized and our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of debt financing and the opportunity to acquire real estate and real estate-related investments meeting our investment objectives and will decrease to the extent we dispose of properties and paydown debt, including annual principal installment payments on the Debentures.
During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we received a distribution of $1.2 million related to our investment in the NIP Joint Venture. We recognized $0.2 million of income distributions and $1.0 million of return of capital from the NIP Joint Venture. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we did not receive any distributions related to our investment in the NIP Joint Venture.
Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased from a loss of $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to a loss of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the 110 William Joint Venture not recording any equity in loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and an increase in occupancy at 353 Sacramento Street. See the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 for further discussion.
Other interest income increased from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of increased dividends from money market mutual funds due to our increased investment balance in these funds.
Gain on real estate equity securities was $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Gain on real estate equity securities was $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. We expect gain (loss) on real estate equity securities to fluctuate in future periods as a result of changes in share prices of our investments in real estate equity securities.
During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we sold one office building and 83 developable acres of undeveloped land that resulted in a gain on sale of $44.7 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we sold one retail property, which resulted in a gain on sale of $10.5 million.

_____________________
(1) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to real estate and real estate-related investments acquired or disposed on or after January 1, 2018.
(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 with respect to real estate and real estate-related investments owned by us during the entirety of both periods presented.
Rental income decreased from $61.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $59.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of properties disposed in 2018 and 2019, partially offset by properties acquired in 2018 and 2019 and an overall increase in rental rates related to properties held throughout both periods. The occupancy of our office properties held throughout both periods decreased from 74% as of September 30, 2018 to 81% as of September 30, 2019. Annualized base rent per square foot increased from $22.02 as of September 30, 2018 to $23.27 as of September 30, 2019 related to properties (excluding apartments) held throughout both periods. We expect rental income to increase in future periods as a result of owning the property acquired during 2019 for an entire period, leasing additional space and to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.
Other operating income increased from $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of properties acquired in 2018 and 2019, partially offset by properties disposed in 2018 and 2019. We expect other operating income to increase in future periods as a result of owning the property acquired during 2019 for an entire period, leasing additional space, increases in parking income as we stabilize properties and to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.
Interest income from real estate debt securities decreased from $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of a decrease in average principal balance outstanding. We expect interest income from real estate debt securities to decrease as a result of the redemption of real estate debt securities on March 20, 2019.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Dividend income from real estate equity securities decreased from $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the sale of real estate equity securities in 2018 and 2019, partially offset by the timing of the Keppel Pacific Oak US REIT (the “SREIT”) dividends declared in 2019 and additional real estate equity securities acquired in 2018 and 2019. We expect dividend income from real estate equity securities to vary in future periods as a result of the timing of dividends declared and investment activity.
Property operating costs decreased from $21.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and real estate taxes and insurance increased from $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of properties disposed in 2018 and 2019, partially offset by properties acquired in 2018 and 2019. We expect property operating costs and real estate taxes and insurance to increase in future periods as a result of owning the property acquired during 2019 for an entire period, to the extent we acquire additional properties, increasing occupancy of our real estate assets and general inflation, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.
Asset management fees decreased from $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of properties disposed in 2018 and 2019, partially offset by properties acquired in 2018 and 2019. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods as a result of owning the property acquired during 2019 for an entire period and capital expenditures and to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties. All asset management fees incurred as of September 30, 2019 have been paid.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to decreased legal expenses incurred to evaluate certain strategic transactions. We expect general and administrative expenses to fluctuate in future periods based on investment and disposition activity as well as costs incurred to evaluate strategic transactions.
We recognized $10.6 million of foreign currency transaction loss, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $9.1 million of foreign currency transaction gain, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, related to the Series A debentures in Israel. These debentures are denominated in Israeli new Shekels and we expect to recognize foreign transaction gains and losses based on changes in foreign currency exchange rates, but expect our exposure to be limited to the extent that we have entered into foreign currency options and foreign currency collars. As of September 30, 2019, we had entered into one foreign currency collar to hedge against a change in the exchange rate of the Israeli new Shekel versus the U.S. Dollar. The foreign currency collar expires in November 2019 and has an aggregate Israeli new Shekels notional amount of 776.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized a $4.6 million gain related to the foreign currency collars, which is shown net against $15.2 million of foreign currency transaction loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as foreign currency transaction loss, net. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized a $4.1 million loss related to a foreign currency collar, which is shown net against $13.2 million of foreign currency transaction gain in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as foreign currency transaction loss, net.
Depreciation and amortization decreased from $26.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $25.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of properties disposed in 2018 and 2019, partially offset by properties acquired in 2018 and 2019. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods as a result of owning the property acquired during 2019 for an entire period and to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease as a result of amortization of tenant origination costs related to lease expirations and disposition of properties.
Interest expense decreased from $22.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $21.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the paydown of debt on properties disposed in 2018 and 2019 and the March 1, 2019 Debentures principal installment payment of 194.0 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $53.6 million as of March 1, 2019), partially offset by increased borrowings related to properties acquired in 2018 and 2019. Excluded from interest expense was $2.1 million and $1.9 million of interest capitalized to our investments in undeveloped land during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our interest expense in future periods will vary based on interest rate fluctuations, the amount of interest capitalized and our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of debt financing and the opportunity to acquire real estate and real estate-related investments meeting our investment objectives and will decrease to the extent we dispose of properties and paydown debt, including annual principal installment payments on the Debentures.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we received a distribution of $0.3 million related to our investment in the NIP Joint Venture. We recognized $0.3 million of return of capital from the NIP Joint Venture. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received a distribution of $2.6 million related to our investment in the NIP Joint Venture. We recognized $0.4 million of income distributions and $2.2 million of return of capital from the NIP Joint Venture.
Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures was $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures was $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of a $7.8 million distribution from the 110 William Joint Venture funded with proceeds from the 110 William refinancing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $7.5 million equity in income from the 110 William Joint Venture, which includes a $7.8 million gain related to a distribution received, net of our share of net losses of $0.3 million. We will not record any subsequent equity in income for the 110 William Joint Venture until subsequent equity in income equals the gain recorded. Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased from a loss of $2.6 million to a loss of $0.8 million related to the 353 Sacramento Joint Venture primarily due to an increase in occupancy.
Other interest income increased from $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of increased dividends from money market mutual funds due to our increased investment balance in these funds.
Loss on real estate equity securities was $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, all of which was unrealized loss. Gain on real estate equity securities was $19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which was made up of $15.9 million unrealized gain on real estate securities held at September 30, 2019 and a $3.4 million realized gain on real estate securities sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We expect gain (loss) on real estate equity securities to fluctuate in future periods as a result of changes in share prices of our investments in real estate equity securities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we sold one office building and 109 developable acres of undeveloped land that resulted in a gain on sale of $45.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold one apartment property and one retail property, which resulted in a gain on sale of $18.1 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.9 million related to debt repayments in connection with real estate disposition.
Funds from Operations, Modified Funds from Operations and Adjusted Modified Funds from Operations
We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. FFO represents net income, excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), impairment losses on real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In addition, we elected the option to exclude mark-to-market changes in value recognized on equity securities in the calculation of FFO. We believe FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other REITs. However, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. Our management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and provides a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Changes in accounting rules have resulted in a substantial increase in the number of non-operating and non-cash items included in the calculation of FFO. As a result, our management also uses modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) as an indicator of our ongoing performance as well as our dividend sustainability. MFFO excludes from FFO: acquisition fees and expenses (to the extent that such fees and expenses have been recorded as operating expenses); adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above- and below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; amortization of closing costs relating to debt investments; impairments of real estate-related investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; and gains or losses included in net income for the extinguishment or sale of debt or hedges. We compute MFFO in accordance with the definition of MFFO included in the practice guideline issued by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”) in November 2010 as interpreted by management. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not compute MFFO in accordance with the current IPA definition or that interpret the current IPA definition differently than we do.
In addition, our management uses an adjusted MFFO (“Adjusted MFFO”) as an indicator of our ongoing performance, as well as our dividend sustainability. Adjusted MFFO provides adjustments to reduce MFFO related to operating expenses that are capitalized with respect to certain of our investments in undeveloped land.
We believe that MFFO and Adjusted MFFO are helpful as measures of ongoing operating performance because they exclude costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO. Management believes that excluding acquisition costs, prior to our early adoption of ASU No. 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, from MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the portfolio over time, including periods after our acquisition stage. MFFO and Adjusted MFFO also exclude non-cash items such as straight-line rental revenue. Additionally, we believe that MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provide investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance indicators and analysis used by management, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, to evaluate the sustainability of our operating performance. MFFO provides comparability in evaluating the operating performance of our portfolio with other non-traded REITs which typically have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies. MFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by non-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.
FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO are non-GAAP financial measures and do not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance because FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization and the other items described above. Accordingly, FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our current and historical operating performance. In addition, FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an indication of our liquidity. We believe FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are meaningful supplemental performance measures.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of straight-line rent, the amortization of above- and below-market leases, the accretion of interest income on real estate debt securities, mark to market foreign currency transaction adjustments and extinguishment of debt are the most significant adjustments for the periods presented. We have excluded these items based on the following economic considerations:
•Adjustments for straight-line rent. These are adjustments to rental revenue as required by GAAP to recognize contractual lease payments on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease. We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the current economic impact of our in-place leases, while also providing investors with a useful supplemental metric that addresses core operating performance by removing rent we expect to receive in a future period or rent that was received in a prior period;
•Amortization of above- and below-market leases. Similar to depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and lease related costs that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangible lease assets and liabilities diminishes predictably over time and requires that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with local market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economics of the real estate;
•Accretion of interest income on real estate debt securities. Discounts and closing costs related to debt investments are accreted/amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income. This application results in income recognition that is different than the underlying contractual terms of the debt investments. We have excluded the accretion of interest income on real estate debt securities in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the economic impact of our debt investments, as discounts will not be economically recognized until the loan is repaid and closing costs are essentially the same as acquisition fees and expenses on real estate. We believe excluding these items provides investors with a useful supplemental metric that directly addresses core operating performance;
•Mark-to-market foreign currency transaction adjustments. The U.S. Dollar is our functional currency. Transactions denominated in currency other than our functional currency are recorded upon initial recognition at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. After initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are remeasured at each reporting date into the foreign currency at the exchange rate on that date. In addition, we have entered into foreign currency collars and foreign currency options that results in a foreign currency transaction adjustment. These amounts can increase or reduce net income. We exclude them from MFFO to more appropriately present the ongoing operating performance of our real estate investments on a comparative basis; and
•Loss on extinguishment of debt. A loss on extinguishment of debt, which includes prepayment fees related to the extinguishment of debt, represents the difference between the carrying value of any consideration transferred to the lender in return for the extinguishment of a debt and the net carrying value of the debt at the time of settlement. We have excluded the loss from extinguishment of debt in our calculation of MFFO because these losses do not impact the current operating performance of our investments and do not provide an indication of future operating performance.
Adjusted MFFO includes adjustments to reduce MFFO related to real estate taxes, property insurance and financing costs which are capitalized with respect to certain of our investments in undeveloped land. We have included adjustments for the costs incurred necessary to bring these investments to their intended use, as these costs are recurring operating costs that are capitalized in accordance with GAAP and not reflected in our net (loss) income, FFO and MFFO. In addition, adjusted MFFO includes an adjustment for casualty loss. We believe excluding this item appropriately presents the ongoing operating performance of our real estate investments on a comparative basis.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Our calculation of FFO, which we believe is consistent with the calculation of FFO as defined by NAREIT, is presented in the following table, along with our calculations of MFFO and Adjusted MFFO, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands). No conclusions or comparisons should be made from the presentation of these periods.

FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO may also be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO, such as tenant improvements, building improvements and deferred leasing costs. We expect FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO to improve in future periods to the extent that we continue to lease up vacant space and acquire additional assets. We expect FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO to decrease as a result of dispositions.

On March 7, 2019, our board of directors authorized a distribution in the amount of $0.00860000 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 14, 2019. We paid this distribution on March 19, 2019 and this was the only distribution declared during the first quarter of 2019.
On May 13, 2019, our board of directors authorized a distribution in the amount of $0.00860000 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 14, 2019. We paid this distribution on June 19, 2019 and this was the only distribution declared during the second quarter of 2019.
On August 8, 2019, our board of directors authorized a distribution in the amount of $0.00860000 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 13, 2019. We paid this distribution on September 18, 2019 and this was the only distribution declared during the third quarter of 2019.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we paid aggregate distributions of $1.7 million, including $0.9 million of distributions paid in cash and $0.8 million of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan. Our net income attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $11.3 million and our cash flows used in operations were $2.1 million. Our cumulative distributions paid and net income attributable to common stockholders from inception through September 30, 2019 were $194.8 million and $197.9 million, respectively. We have funded our cumulative distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with proceeds from debt financing of $18.7 million, proceeds from the dispositions of property of $83.4 million and cash provided by operations of $92.7 million. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations or gains from asset sales, we will have fewer funds available for investment in real estate-related loans, opportunistic real estate, real estate-related debt securities and other real estate-related investments, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors may experience dilution.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments will affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2019, except for our adoption of the lease accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board effective on January 1, 2019.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Revenue Recognition - Operating Leases
Real Estate
On January 1, 2019, we adopted the lease accounting standards under Topic 842 including the package of practical expedients for all leases that commenced before the effective date of January 1, 2019. Accordingly, we (i) did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing lease, and (iii) did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. We did not elect the practical expedient related to using hindsight to reevaluate the lease term. In addition, we adopted the practical expedient for land easements and did not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840 are or contain a lease under Topic 842.
In addition, Topic 842 provides an optional transition method to allow entities to apply the new lease accounting standards at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We adopted this transition method upon its adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842, which did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Our comparative periods presented in the financial statements will continue to be reported under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840.
In accordance with Topic 842, tenant reimbursements for property taxes and insurance are included in the single lease component of the lease contract (the right of the lessee to use the leased space) and therefore are accounted for as variable lease payments and are recorded as rental income on our statement of operations beginning January 1, 2019. In addition, we adopted the practical expedient available under Topic 842 to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and instead to account for those components as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue recognition standard (Topic 606) and if certain conditions are met, specifically related to tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance which would otherwise be accounted for under the revenue recognition standard. We believe the two conditions have been met for tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance as (i) the timing and pattern of transfer of the nonlease components and associated lease components are the same and (ii) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease. Accordingly, tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance are also accounted for as variable lease payments and recorded as rental income on our statement of operations beginning January 1, 2019.
We recognize minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectibility is probable and records amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or by us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
•whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
•whether the lessee or lessor supervises the construction and bears the risk of cost overruns;
•whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;
•whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
•whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in nature; and
•whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.
We lease apartment units under operating leases with terms generally of one year or less. Generally, credit investigations will be performed for prospective residents and security deposits will be obtained. We recognize rental revenue, net of concessions, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, when collectibility is determined to be probable.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
In accordance with Topic 842, we make a determination of whether the collectibility of the lease payments in an operating lease is probable. If we determine the lease payments are not probable of collection, we would fully reserve for any contractual lease payments, deferred rent receivable, and variable lease payments and would recognize rental income only if cash is received. Beginning January 1, 2019, these changes to our collectibility assessment are reflected as an adjustment to rental income. Prior to January 1, 2019, bad debt expense related to uncollectible accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable was included in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations. Any subsequent changes to the collectibility of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2018, which was recorded prior to the adoption of Topic 842, are recorded in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations.
Beginning January 1, 2019, we, as a lessor, record costs to negotiate or arrange a lease that would have been incurred regardless of whether the lease was obtained, such as legal costs incurred to negotiate an operating lease as an expense and classify such costs as operating, maintenance, and management expense on our consolidated statement of operations, as these costs are no longer capitalizable under the definition of initial direct costs under Topic 842.
Subsequent Events
We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Acquisition of Reven Housing REIT, Inc.
On November 4, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the acquisition of Reven Housing REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Reven”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 30, 2019 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among us, SOR PORT Holdings, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of us (“Parent”), SOR PORT, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Reven. Reven is an internally managed Maryland corporation that engages in the acquisition, ownership and operation of portfolios of leased single-family homes in the United States. However, following the acquisition, all the employees were terminated and Pacific Oak Capital Advisors took over management responsibility of Reven.
On the Closing Date, as a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of Reven common stock, par value $0.01 per share, was converted into the right to receive $5.13 in cash from Parent, which amount was funded from us.
The aggregate value of the consideration paid to former holders of Reven common stock described above in connection with the Merger was approximately $56.6 million in cash.
At the closing of the Merger, Reven changed its name to Pacific Oak Residential Trust, Inc. (“PORT”). On November 5, 2019, PORT issued and sold 15,000 shares, at a price of $1,000 per share for an aggregate of $15.0 million of shares of “6.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock”, that are exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
Real Estate Disposition Subsequent to September 30, 2019
125 John Carpenter
On November 1, 2019, we sold 125 John Carpenter to a wholly owned subsidiary of the SREIT. The sale price, net of closing credits, of 125 John Carpenter was $99.8 million. As of September 30, 2019, the carrying value of 125 John Carpenter was $82.4 million, which was net of $8.6 million of accumulated depreciation and amortization. In connection with the sale of 125 John Carpenter, we repaid $53.2 million of outstanding debt secured by the 125 John Carpenter.
Prior to the sale of 125 John Carpenter, we owned 56,979,352 common units of the SREIT, representing a 6.89% ownership interest. On October 29, 2019, we purchased 7,186,000 common units of the SREIT for $5.2 million in connection with a private placement to institutional and other investors, maintaining its 6.89% ownership interest.

Resignation of Officers
On October 31, 2019, Jeffrey K. Waldvogel notified the our board of directors (the “Board”) of his resignation as Secretary and Treasurer of the Company effective immediately and of his resignation as Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective immediately following the filing of the Third Quarter 10-Q with SEC. Also on October 31, 2019, Stacie K. Yamane notified the Board of her resignation as Chief Accounting Officer of the Company immediately following the filing of the Third Quarter 10-Q with the SEC.
Appointment of New Chief Financial Officer
On October 31, 2019, the Board appointed Michael A. Bender to serve as Executive Vice President, Treasury, Secretary and our Chief Financial Officer-Elect effective as of November 1, 2019, and as Chief Financial Officer effective immediately following our filing of the Third Quarter 10-Q with the SEC. As Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Bender will serve as our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.
Performance Fee Due to Advisor as of October 31, 2019
As described in Note 11 above, on October 7, 2019, we and our KBS Capital Advisors agreed to renew the advisory agreement through October 31, 2019, which would be the termination date. In connection with that agreement, we and KBS Capital Advisors amended the terms of the Performance Fee. As amended, the Performance Fee due to KBS Capital Advisors upon termination of the advisory agreement is payable in restricted stock units (“RSUs”) instead of a promissory note.
Performance Fee Due to Pacific Oak Capital Advisors Under New Advisory Agreement
As described in Note 11 above, effective November 1, 2019, we hired Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, LLC as our new external advisor. The terms of the advisory agreement are substantially the same as those of the KBS Capital Advisors advisory agreement, except that the performance fees were modified to take into account the performance fee due upon termination due to our advisor, as shown in Note 11 above.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity, fund distributions and to fund the refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. We may also be exposed to the effects of changes in interest rates as a result of the acquisition and origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans and the acquisition of real estate securities. We are also exposed to the effects of foreign currency changes in Israel with respect to the 4.25% bonds issued to investors in Israel in March 2016. Our profitability and the value of our investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes and foreign currency changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We may manage interest rate risk by maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level. In addition, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, floors, and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. In order to limit the effects of changes in foreign currency on our operations, we may utilize a variety of foreign currency hedging strategies such as cross currency swaps, forward contracts, puts or calls. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for payments to holders of our common stock and the risk that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments. Additionally, certain of these strategies may cause us to fund a margin account periodically to offset changes in foreign currency rates which may also reduce the funds available for payments to holders of our common stock.
As of September 30, 2019, we had entered into one foreign currency collar to hedge against a change in the exchange rate of the Israeli new Shekel versus the U.S. Dollar. The foreign currency collar expires in November 2019 and has an aggregate Israeli new Shekels notional amount of 776.2 million. The foreign currency collar consists of a purchased call option to buy Israeli new Shekels at 3.4000 and a sold put option to sell the Israeli new Shekels at 3.5860. The foreign currency collar is intended to permit us to exchange, on the settlement date of the collar, 776.2 million Israeli new Shekels for an amount ranging from $216.4 million to $222.3 million.
As of September 30, 2019, we held 8,000 Israeli new Shekels and 21.8 million Israeli new Shekels in cash and restricted cash, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 2019, we had bonds outstanding and the related interest payable in the amounts of 776.2 million Israeli new Shekels and 2.7 million Israeli new Shekels, respectively. Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the possibility that our financial results could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Based solely on the remeasurement for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, if foreign currency exchange rates were to increase or decrease by 10%, our net income would increase or decrease by approximately $19.8 million and $(24.2) million, respectively, for the same period. The foreign currency transaction income or loss as a result of the change in foreign currency exchange rates does not take into account any gains or losses on our foreign currency collar as a result of such change, which would reduce our foreign currency exposure.
We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. As of September 30, 2019, the fair value of our KBS SOR (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. Series A Debentures was $226.8 million and the outstanding principal balance was $223.3 million. As of September 30, 2019, excluding the KBS SOR (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. Series A Debentures, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $7.7 million and the outstanding principal balance of our fixed rate debt was $6.1 million. The fair value estimate of our KBS SOR (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. Series A Debentures was calculated using the quoted bond price as of September 30, 2019 on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange of 101.95 Israeli new Shekels. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated as of September 30, 2019. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting changes in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.
Conversely, movements in interest rates on variable rate debt would change our future earnings and cash flows, but would not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of floating rate instruments. As of September 30, 2019, we had entered into three separate interest rate caps with an aggregate notional of $175.6 million which effectively limits our exposure to increases in one-month LIBOR above certain thresholds. Based on interest rates as of September 30, 2019, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher or lower during the 12 months ending September 30, 2020, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase by $4.4 million or decrease by $4.4 million, respectively.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk (continued)
The weighted-average interest rates of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt as of September 30, 2019 were 4.3% and 3.9%, respectively. The interest rate and weighted-average interest rate represent the actual interest rate in effect as of September 30, 2019 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of contractual floor rates, if applicable), using interest rate indices as of September 30, 2019 where applicable.
We are exposed to financial market risk with respect to our real estate equity securities. Financial market risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in our real estate equity security prices. Our exposure to changes in real estate equity security prices is a result of our investment in these types of securities. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and, therefore, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market prices of a real estate equity security may result from any number of factors, including perceived changes in the underlying fundamental characteristics of the issuer, the relative price of alternative investments, interest rates, default rates and general market conditions. In addition, amounts realized in the sale of a particular security may be affected by the relative quantity of the real estate equity security being sold. We do not currently engage in derivative or other hedging transactions to manage our real estate equity security price risk. As of September 30, 2019, we owned real estate equity securities with a book value of $79.1 million. Based solely on the prices of real estate equity securities as of September 30, 2019, if prices were to increase or decrease by 10%, our net income would increase or decrease, respectively, by approximately $7.9 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Pacific Oak Capital Advisors has a limited operating history.
Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, our advisor, was formed in 2018 and started operating as our advisor on November 1, 2019. Keith D. Hall, our Chief Executive Officer and one of our directors, and Peter McMillan III, our Chairman of the Board and President and one of our directors, each own 50% and manage Pacific Oak Holdings, which owns and controls Pacific Oak Capital Advisors. Each of Messrs. Hall and McMillan has over 20 years of experience in investment management, including 14 years at KBS. Under their leadership, Pacific Oak has rapidly assembled a strong and experienced team of real estate, finance, accounting and other professionals, many of whom were formerly at KBS. Messrs. Hall and McMillan work together at Pacific Oak Capital Advisors with their team of key real estate and debt finance professionals. These senior real estate and debt finance professionals have been through multiple real estate cycles in their careers and have the expertise gained through hands-on experience in acquisitions, originations, asset management, dispositions, development, leasing and property and portfolio management. Pacific Oak Capital Advisors currently manages approximately $3.3 billion of real estate investments. However, because Pacific Oak Capital Advisors was recently formed, it could face challenges with employee hiring and retention, information technology, vendor relationships, and funding. We rely on our sponsor, our officers, our advisor and the real estate, debt finance, management and accounting professionals that our advisor retains, to provide services to us for the day-to-day operation of our business. If Pacific Oak Capital Advisors faces challenges in performing its obligations to us, it could negatively impact our ability to achieve our investment objectives.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
a)During the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
b)Not applicable.
c)We have adopted a share redemption program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances.
Pursuant to the share redemption program there are several limitations on our ability to redeem shares:
•Unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined under the share redemption program), we may not redeem shares until the stockholder has held the shares for one year.
•During any calendar year, we may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year.
•We have no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency.
During 2019:
•We may redeem no more than $2.0 million of shares in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.”
•We may redeem no more than $2.0 million of shares per fiscal quarter, excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” To the extent any of such capacity is unused in a fiscal quarter, it will be carried over to the next fiscal quarter for redemption of shares excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” In addition, to the extent extra capacity from the bullet above is available with respect to redemptions in the last month of 2019, such capacity will be made available for redemption of shares other than in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.”
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (continued)
After 2019:
•During any calendar year, we may redeem only the number of shares that we can purchase with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under the our dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year; provided, however, that this limit may be increased or decreased by us upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. To the extent that we redeem less than the number of shares that we can purchase in any calendar year with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year plus any additional funds approved by us, such excess capacity to redeem shares during any calendar year shall be added to our capacity to otherwise redeem shares during the subsequent calendar year. Furthermore, during any calendar year, once we have received requests for redemptions, whether in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence”, or otherwise, that if honored, and when combined with all prior redemptions made during the calendar year, would result in the amount of remaining funds available for the redemption of additional shares in such calendar year being $1.0 million or less, the last $1.0 million of available funds shall be reserved exclusively for shares being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence.” To the extent that, in the last month of any calendar year, the amount of redemption requests in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence” is less than the amount of available funds reserved for such redemptions in accordance with the previous sentence, any excess funds may be used to redeem shares not in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence” during such month.
•We may not redeem more than $3.0 million of shares in a given quarter (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”). To the extent that, in a given fiscal quarter, we redeem less than the sum of (a) $3.0 million of shares (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”) and (b) any excess capacity carried over to such fiscal quarter from a prior fiscal quarter as described below, any remaining excess capacity to redeem shares in such fiscal quarter will be added to our capacity to otherwise redeem shares (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”) during succeeding fiscal quarter. We may increase or decrease this limit upon ten business days’ notice to stockholders.
We may amend, suspend or terminate the program upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. We may provide notice to our stockholders by including such information in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC, or by a separate mailing to our stockholders.

_____________________
(1) On November 12, 2018, our board of directors approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of $9.91. The change in the redemption price became effective for the December 2018 redemption date and is effective until the estimated value per share is updated. We expect to update our estimated value per share no later than December 2019.
On December 4, 2018, our board of directors adopted an eleventh amended and restated share redemption program (the “Eleventh SRP”). The Eleventh SRP changed the funding limits for the share redemption program in calendar year 2019, after which they will revert back to the prior limits. Absent these changes, based on the amount of net proceeds raised from the sale of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during 2018, we would have had $1.4 million available for redemptions during 2019, including shares that are redeemed in connection with a stockholders’ death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” As amended, the following will apply during the calendar year 2019:
•We may redeem no more than $2.0 million of shares in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.”
•We may redeem no more than $2.0 million of shares per fiscal quarter, excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” To the extent any of such capacity is unused in a fiscal quarter, it will be carried over to the next fiscal quarter for redemption of shares excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” In addition, to the extent extra capacity from the bullet above is available with respect to redemptions in the last month of 2019, such capacity will be made available for redemption of shares other than in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.”
There were no other changes to the share redemption program. The Eleventh SRP became effective for any redemption request received after December 21, 2018, which was the last day for a request to be received and processed in 2018 under the Tenth Amended Share Redemption Program.
(2) We limit the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the program as described above. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we redeemed $7.4 million of common stock under the program, which represented all redemption requests received in good order and eligible for redemption through the September 2019 redemption date, except for the $43.3 million of shares in connection with redemption requests not made upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence,” which redemption requests will be fulfilled subject to the limitations described above. Based on the Eleventh SRP, we have $2.6 million available for redemptions in the remainder of 2019, including shares that are redeemed in connection with a stockholders’ death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence,” subject to the limitations described above.
In addition to the redemptions under the share redemption program described above, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased 2,746 shares of our common stock at $9.41 per share for an aggregate price of approximately $26,000.

4.3 Inspections.
4.3.1 Inspections in General. During the term of this Agreement, Buyer, its agents, and employees shall have a limited license (the “License”) to enter upon the Real Property for the purpose of making non-invasive inspections at Buyer’s sole risk, cost and expense. Before any such entry, Buyer shall provide Seller with a certificate of insurance naming Seller as an additional insured and with an insurer and insurance limits and coverage reasonably satisfactory to Seller. All of such entries upon the Real Property shall be at reasonable times during normal business hours and after at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice to Seller or Seller’s agent, and Seller or Seller’s agent shall have the right to accompany Buyer during any activities performed by Buyer on the Real Property. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, (i) Buyer shall have no right to inspect any of the occupied space in the Real Property, (ii) Buyer shall not contact or speak to any of the tenants under the Leases, unless Buyer provides Seller with no less than forty-eight (48) hours prior written notice of such intention and Seller or Seller’s representative is present during such inspections and/or discussions with tenants, and (iii) any discussions with tenants shall immediately cease at the tenant’s request and any discussions with tenants must be limited to their existing tenancy and premises and may not involve any lease renegotiations. Seller agrees to make itself or its representatives reasonably available to be present during Buyer’s inspections and/or discussions with tenants. Inspections by Buyer shall not interfere with the rights of tenants. To the extent a consultant is engaged by Buyer to perform any tests or inspections, at Seller’s request, Buyer shall provide Seller (at reasonable cost to Seller) with a copy of the results of any such tests and inspections, excluding only market and economic feasibility studies. If any inspection or test disturbs the Real Property, Buyer will restore the Real Property to the same condition as existed before the inspection or test. Buyer shall defend, indemnify Seller and hold Seller, Seller’s trustees, officers, tenants, agents, contractors and employees and the Real Property harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, claims, or liabilities, including but not limited to, mechanics’ and materialmens’ liens and Seller’s attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with Buyer’s, or its agents’, contractors’, employees’, or invitees’ entry upon or inspection of the Real Property but expressly excluding any such losses, costs, damages, claims or liabilities arising from Buyer’s discovery of an existing condition on the Real Property so long as Buyer’s actions do not exacerbate such condition (and then only to the extent, if any, Buyer’s tests or inspections actually exacerbate such condition) or arising from Seller’s negligence or willful misconduct. The License may be revoked by Seller at any time and shall in any event be deemed revoked upon termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 4.3.1 shall survive the Close of Escrow or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
4.3.2 Environmental Inspections. The inspections under Section 4.3.1 may include non-invasive Phase I environmental inspections of the Real Property, but no Phase II environmental inspections or other invasive inspections or sampling of soil or materials, including without limitation construction materials, either as part of the Phase I inspections or any other inspections, shall be performed without the prior written consent of Seller, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion (provided, however, that if a Phase I inspection of the Real Property recommends in writing that a Phase II inspection be conducted, Seller shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such Phase II), and if consented to by Seller, the proposed scope of work and the party who will perform the work shall be subject to Seller’s review and approval. To the extent a consultant is engaged by Buyer to perform any other tests or
inspections, at Seller’s request, Buyer shall deliver to Seller (at reasonable cost to Seller) copies of any Phase II or other environmental reports performed by such consultant to which Seller consents as provided above.
4.4 Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Seller shall endeavor to secure and deliver to Buyer by the Closing Date estoppel certificates for all Leases consistent with the information in the Rent Rolls and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D or such form as may be required under the applicable Leases. Buyer may terminate this Agreement upon two (2) business days written notice to Seller if, no less than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller fails to deliver to Buyer estoppel certificates substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D or such form as may be required under any particular Lease (“Tenant Estoppel Certificates”), executed by tenants under Leases covering at least seventy percent (70%) of the leased rental floor area of the Real Property and meeting the foregoing requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Leases with the General Services Administration (each a “GSA Lease” and collectively, the “GSA Leases”) the government’s form of statement of lease shall be an acceptable form of Tenant Estoppel Certificate.
4.5 Contracts. Buyer shall assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under the Contracts; provided, however, that: (1) notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, with respect to any property management agreement or leasing agreements listed in Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof, Buyer shall have the right to elect in writing to either (A) assume each such property management agreement or leasing agreement as of the Close of Escrow or (B) have Seller terminate such property management agreement or leasing agreement as of the Close of Escrow (in which case Buyer would enter into new replacement agreements with the applicable property managers and leasing agents), and (2) if Buyer elects to have any property management or leasing agreement terminated pursuant to clause (1)(A), then notwithstanding Seller’s termination of any such property management agreement or leasing agreement listed in Exhibit C attached hereto, and in consideration of Seller’s terminating the same and Seller’s continued leasing of the Property after the Effective Date, Buyer shall be responsible for, and Buyer shall assume pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Assignment of Leases and Contracts and Bill of Sale, as hereinafter defined, all leasing commissions payable (notwithstanding the termination of any such agreement) under such property management agreements and leasing agreements after the Close of Escrow arising out of the lease of space in the Property after the Close of Escrow.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in this Agreement (i) any Party may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, and (ii) nothing contained herein shall impair any Party’s (or any Party’s affiliate’s) right to disclose information relating to this Agreement or to the Property (x) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of, any securities dealers and/or broker dealers evaluating such Party or its affiliates, (y) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S‑11 filing) with governmental or regulatory agencies or stock exchanges (including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any regulatory agency or body in Singapore such as the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX”)) by any Party or other person or entity holding an interest (direct or indirect) in any Party, and (z) to any broker/dealers in such Party’s or its affiliates’ broker/dealer network and any of the Party’s or its affiliates’ investors.
4.6.2 In the event that a Party receives a request to disclose any Confidential Information under a subpoena or order or examination by a court, arbitrator or governmental body, agency or official, such Party shall to the extent legally practicable (i) promptly notify the other Party, (ii) consult with the other Party on the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow such request, and (iii) if disclosure is required or deemed advisable, reasonably cooperate with the other Party in any attempt such other Party may make to obtain an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information that is disclosed.
4.6.3 Without limiting the rights of the Parties in Section 4.6.1 above, no Party shall issue or publish any press release, tombstone or any other similar public communication advertising the sale of the Property to Buyer that would disclose the financial aspects of this Agreement or the financial aspects of the business of the Property without the written prior approval of all of the Parties.
4.7 CC&R Estoppel. Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain an estoppel certificate from the Association under that certain Las Colinas Declaration recorded August 22, 1973 in Volume 73166, Page 1001 of the Real Property Records of Dallas County, Texas, as amended and corrected (the “CCR Estoppel”), such CCR Estoppel to be customarily issued by such Association, provided, however, the receipt of such CCR Estoppel shall not be a condition to Closing.
5. OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS
5.1 Ongoing Operations. During the term of this Agreement, but subject to the limitations set forth below, Seller shall carry on its businesses and activities relating to the Real Property, including maintaining the Property in good condition and repair, subject to normal wear and tear and Section 5.4 below, substantially in the same manner as it did before the date of this Agreement.
5.2 New Contracts. During the term of this Agreement, Seller may enter into new service agreements and may amend, renew, modify and terminate existing Contracts relating to
the maintenance and operation of the Property substantially in accordance with Seller’s past practices and in the ordinary course of business, provided that Seller delivers to Buyer copies of any Contracts executed after the Effective Date within five (5) business days after Seller’s execution of the same (which may be delivered to David Snyder or Andy Gwee by electronic mail) and these Contracts are cancelable on not more than thirty (30) days’ written notice, without the payment of any termination or other similar fee. All of the service agreements shall require prior written approval of the Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and may be delivered by David Snyder or Andy Gwee by electronic mail (and shall be deemed given if not rejected in writing within five (5) business days after Buyer receives Seller’s request for such approval); provided, however, that Buyer’s consent shall not be required for any contracts required to enable Seller to comply with the terms of the Leases or required to address any health or safety conditions at the Property.
5.3 Leasing Arrangements.
5.3.1 Leasing Prior to Closing. During the term of this Agreement, Seller may not, without prior written approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and may be delivered by David Snyder or Andy Gwee by electronic mail (and shall be deemed given if not rejected in writing within five (5) business days after Buyer receives Seller’s request for such approval): (a) execute any new Lease affecting the Real Property (or any part thereof); (b) materially amend any existing Lease; or (c) terminate or accept the surrender of any Lease; provided however that Seller is authorized to accept the termination of Leases at their existing terms and to expand, extend or renew any Lease pursuant to expansion, extension or renewal options contained therein. At the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for commissions, legal fees, the cost of tenant improvements, and all other leasing costs and expenses paid by Seller with respect to all new leases and all other Lease amendments, expansions or renewals or new leases that were entered into after the Effective Date and, at Close of Escrow, shall assume in writing (pursuant to the Assignment of Leases and Contracts and Bill of Sale) Seller’s obligations (whether arising before or after the Closing Date) under such new leases and Lease amendments, expansions or renewals.
5.4 Damage or Condemnation. Risk of loss shall remain with Seller. If prior to the Close of Escrow, the Real Property shall be Materially Damaged (defined below), or if any Material Portion (defined below) of the Real Property shall be subjected to a bona fide written threat of condemnation or shall become the subject of any proceedings, judicial, administrative or otherwise, with respect to the taking by eminent domain or condemnation by a governmental authority (a “Material Taking”), then Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing that such Material Damage or Material Taking has occurred after Seller obtains actual knowledge of such occurrence, and Buyer may elect not to acquire the Real Property by delivering written notice of such election to Seller within five (5) days after Buyer learns of the Material Damage or Material Taking, in which event Buyer shall no longer be obligated to purchase, and Seller shall no longer be obligated to sell, the Real Property and this Agreement shall terminate. If the Closing Date is within the aforesaid 5‑day period, then Buyer shall have the right to elect in writing to extend the Close of Escrow to no later than the next business day following the end of said 5‑day period so that Buyer may receive the benefit of such 5-day period (or so much so as Buyer may elect). If no such election is made, and in any event if the damage does not constitute Material Damage, or an eminent domain or condemnation proceeding or bona fide written threat does not affect a
Material Portion of the Real Property, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the purchase contemplated herein (less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation) shall be consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (after deducting all reasonable costs incurred by Seller in defending such eminent domain or condemnation proceeding prior to the Close of Escrow); provided, however, that Buyer shall be entitled to receive any condemnation award or payment, and upon the Close of Escrow, Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyer all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking, and Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyer any insurance proceeds that may thereafter be made for such damage or destruction giving Buyer a credit at the Close of Escrow for any deductible under such policies. For purposes of this Section 5.4, the phrase(s) (i) “Material Damage” or “Materially Damaged” means damage reasonably exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price as reasonably determined by Seller after engaging a third-party consultant to determine the scope and cost to repair such damage, and (ii) “Material Portion” means any portion of the Real Property that has a “fair market value” exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price of the Real Property as reasonably determined by Seller after engaging a third-party broker to provide an opinion of value with respect to the affected portion of the Real Property. SELLER AND BUYER EACH HEREBY WAIVE THE UNIFORM VENDOR AND PURCHASER RISK ACT, TEXAS PROPERTY CODE, SECTION 5.007, AND AGREE THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 5.4 SHALL GOVERN THE RESPECTIVE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF SELLER AND BUYER WITH REGARD TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS SECTION 5.4.
5.5 Additional Covenants of Seller. During the term of this Agreement, Seller covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) No Monetary Encumbrances. Not to create any new Monetary Encumbrances or to modify or increase any existing Monetary Encumbrances unless Seller will satisfy and discharge same at or prior to the Close of Escrow in accordance with Section 4.2 above;
(b) No Sales or Options to Purchase. Not to sell or transfer, or agree to sell or transfer, the Real Property or grant any option to sell or transfer the Real Property inconsistent with this Agreement;
(c) Compliance with Laws and Agreements. To use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct its business and affairs at the Real Property in a manner that will comply with (1) applicable laws, regulations, orders and directives of any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Real Property and (2) Seller’s obligations under the Leases, the Contracts or other written agreements to which Seller is a party, in each case where such non-compliance would result in the imposition of a lien or other encumbrance against the Real Property that would prevent the transfer of title of the Real Property or the imposition of a restriction that would prevent the continued use or operation of the Real Property in the manner that the Property was operated prior to the date of this Agreement;
(d) Maintain Insurance. To continue to maintain its current insurance policies with respect to the Property through the Close of Escrow and not to knowingly take any action or knowingly permit any action to be taken at the Property that would render any such existing insurance policies to be, or become invalid, void or voidable;
(e) Disclosure of Litigation. To promptly disclose to Buyer in writing any service of process received or litigation filed against Seller or, if within the Seller’s Actual Knowledge (defined below), brought by or against Seller, under or in connection with the Leases and/or the Real Property where such service of process or litigation filed would impose a continuing obligation or liability on Buyer or the Real Property after the Close of Escrow or Seller’s ability to perform hereunder.
5.6 Additional Covenants of Buyer. Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Offering (as defined in Section 7.1(h) below) and to ensure that the Units (as defined in Section 7.1(h) below) will be listed, and the trading of such Units will commence and continue on the SGX.
6. SELLER’S AND BUYER’S DELIVERIES

9.3 Procedures Upon Failure of Condition.
9.3.1 General Procedure for Failure of a Condition. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any condition set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 hereof is not timely

10. PRORATIONS
If the Purchase Price is received by Seller’s depository bank in time to credit to Seller’s account on the Closing Date, the day the Close of Escrow occurs shall belong to Buyer and all prorations hereinafter provided to be made as of the Close of Escrow shall each be made as of the end of the day before the Closing Date. If the cash portion of the Purchase Price is not so received by Seller’s depository bank on the Closing Date, then the day the Close of Escrow occurs shall belong to Seller and such proration shall be made as of the end of the day that is the Closing Date. In each such proration set forth below, the portion thereof applicable to periods beginning as of Close of Escrow shall be credited to Buyer or charged to Buyer as applicable and the portion thereof applicable to periods ending as of Close of Escrow shall be credited to Seller or charged to Seller as applicable.
10.1 Collected Rent. All rent (including, without limitation, all base rents, additional rents and retroactive rents, and expressly excluding tenant reimbursements for Operating Costs, as hereinafter defined) and all other income (and any applicable state or local tax on rent) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Rents”) collected under Leases in effect on the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Close of Escrow. Uncollected Rent shall not be prorated and, to the extent payable for the period prior to the Close of Escrow, shall remain the property of Seller. Buyer shall apply Rent from tenants that are collected after the Close of Escrow first to Rents which were applicable to the month of the Close of Escrow, second to Rents which are due to Buyer after the Close of Escrow, and third to Rents which were due to Seller on or before the Close of Escrow. Any prepaid Rents for the period following the Closing Date shall be paid over by Seller to Buyer. Buyer will make reasonable efforts, without suit, to collect any Rents applicable to the period before the Close of Escrow including, without limitation, sending to tenants bills for the payment of past due Rents during the first twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date. Seller may pursue collection of any Rents that were past due as of the Closing Date, provided that Seller shall have no right to terminate any Lease or any tenant’s occupancy under any Lease in connection therewith.
10.2 Operating Costs and Additional Rent Reconciliation. Seller, as landlord under the Leases, is currently collecting from tenants under the Leases additional rent to cover taxes, insurance, utilities (to the extent not paid directly by tenants), common area maintenance and other operating costs and expenses (collectively, “Operating Costs”) in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Real Property. To the extent that any additional rent (including, without limitation, estimated payments for Operating Costs) is paid by tenants to the landlord under the Leases based on an estimated payment basis (monthly, quarterly, or otherwise) for which a future reconciliation of actual Operating Costs to estimated payments is required to be performed at the end of a reconciliation period, Buyer and Seller shall make an adjustment at the Close of Escrow for the applicable reconciliation period (or periods, if the Leases do not have a common reconciliation period) based on a comparison of the actual Operating Costs to the estimated payments at the Close of Escrow. If, as of the Close of Escrow,
Seller has received additional rent payments in excess of the amount that tenants will be required to pay, based on the actual Operating Costs as of the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall receive a credit in the amount of such excess. If, as of the Close of Escrow, Seller has received additional rent payments that are less than the amount that tenants would be required to pay based on the actual Operating Costs as of the Close of Escrow, Seller shall receive a credit in the amount of such deficiency; provided, however, Seller shall not be entitled to the portion, if any, of such deficiency for which Seller received a credit at the Close of Escrow under clause (b) of Section 10.3 hereof. Operating Costs that are not payable by tenants either directly or reimbursable under the Leases shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer and shall be reasonably estimated by the parties if final bills are not available.
10.3 Taxes and Assessments. Real estate taxes and assessments imposed by any governmental authority (“Taxes”) with respect to the Real Property for the relevant tax year in which the Real Property is being sold and that are not yet due and payable or that have not yet been paid and that are not (and will not be) reimbursable by tenants under the Leases (or under leases entered into after the Close of Escrow for vacant space existing at the Close of Escrow) as Operating Costs shall be prorated as of the Close of Escrow based upon the most recent ascertainable assessed values and tax rates and based upon the number of days Buyer and Seller will have owned the Real Property during such relevant tax year. Seller shall receive a credit for any Taxes paid by Seller and applicable to (a) any period after the Close of Escrow, and (b) any period before the Close of Escrow to the extent reimbursable as Operating Costs by (i) existing tenants under the Leases and not yet received from such tenants, or (ii) future tenants that may execute leases covering space in the Real Property that is vacant as of the Close of Escrow. If, as of the Closing Date, Seller is protesting or has notified Buyer, in writing, that it has elected to protest any Taxes for the Real Property, then Buyer agrees that Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation), after the Closing Date, to continue such protest. In such case, any Taxes paid by Buyer after the Closing Date with respect to the Real Property shall be paid under protest and Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of any payments of Taxes made by Buyer with respect to the Real Property. Buyer further agrees to cooperate with Seller and execute any documents requested by Seller in connection with such protest. As to the Real Property, any tax savings received (“Tax Refunds”) for the relevant tax year under any protest, whether filed by Seller or Buyer, shall be prorated between the parties based upon the number of days, if any, Seller and Buyer respectively owned the Real Property during such relevant tax year; if such protest was filed by a Seller, any payment of Tax Refunds to Buyer shall be net of any fees and expenses payable to any third party for processing such protest, including attorneys’ fees. Seller shall have the obligation to refund to any tenants in good standing as of the date of such Tax Refund, any portion of such Tax Refund paid to Seller which may be owing to such tenants, which payment shall be paid to Buyer within fifteen (15) business days of delivery to Seller by Buyer of written confirmation of such tenants’ entitlement to such Tax Refunds. Buyer shall have the obligation to refund to tenants in good standing as of the date of such Tax Refund, any portion of such Tax Refund paid to it which may be owing to such tenants. Seller and Buyer agree to notify the other in writing of any receipt of a Tax Refund within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of such Tax Refund. To the extent either party obtains a Tax Refund, a portion of which is owed to the other party, the receiving party shall deliver the Tax Refund to the other party within fifteen (15) business days of its receipt. If Buyer or Seller fail to pay such amount(s) to the other as and when due, such amount(s) shall bear interest from the date any such amount is due to Seller or Buyer, as applicable, until paid at the lesser of (a) twelve percent (12%) per annum and (b) the
maximum amount permitted by law. The obligations set forth herein shall survive the Close of Escrow and Buyer agrees that, as a condition to the transfer of the Property by Buyer, Buyer will cause any transferee to assume the obligations set forth herein.
10.4 Leasing Commissions, Tenant Improvements and Contracts. At Close of Escrow, Buyer shall assume (pursuant to the Assignment of Leases and Contracts and Bill of Sale) the obligation to pay all (a) leasing costs that are due or become due prior to the Closing Date to the extent that the same arise from a new lease or any Lease amendment, extension or expansion hereafter entered into by Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (b) leasing costs that are due after the Closing Date. Buyer will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under the Contracts.
10.5 Tenant Deposits. All tenant security deposits actually received by Seller (and interest thereon if required by law or contract to be earned thereon) and not theretofore applied to tenant obligations under the Leases shall be transferred or credited to Buyer at the Close of Escrow or placed in escrow if required by law. As of the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall assume Seller’s obligations related to tenant security deposits that are actually transferred or credited to Buyer at the Close of Escrow. Solely with respect to tenant security deposits that are actually transferred or credited to Buyer at the Close of Escrow, Buyer will indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from and against all demands and claims made by tenants arising out of the transfer or disposition of any security deposits and will reimburse Seller for all attorneys’ fees incurred or that may be incurred as a result of any such claims or demands as well as for all loss, expenses, verdicts, judgments, settlements, interest, costs and other expenses incurred or that may be incurred by Seller as a result of any such claims or demands by tenants. If any security deposits are in the form of a letter of credit, Seller’s obligation to deliver or credit such deposit shall be satisfied by the delivery by Seller of the original letter of credit to Buyer. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer to transfer any such letters of credit, including signing any assignment document requested by the issuer and presented to Seller prior to or after the Close of Escrow, but expressly excluding any obligation to draw on any letter of credit for the benefit of Buyer. All costs of the assignment of any letter of credit shall be paid by Buyer without prejudice to Buyer’s right to seek reimbursement from a tenant for such costs post-closing if permitted under the respective lease. Seller agrees that it shall not hereafter apply any tenant security deposits to tenant obligations unless (i) the respective tenant is in default under its Lease and (ii) the respective tenant is no longer in possession of their premises.
10.6 Utilities and Utility Deposits. Utilities for the Real Property (excluding utilities for which payment is made directly by tenants), including water, sewer, electric, and gas, based upon the last reading of meters prior to the Close of Escrow, shall be prorated. Seller shall be entitled to a credit for all security deposits held by any of the utility companies providing service to the Real Property. Seller shall endeavor to obtain meter readings on the day before the Closing Date, and if such readings are obtained, there shall be no proration of such items and Seller shall pay at Close of Escrow the bills therefor for the period to the day preceding the Close of Escrow, and Buyer shall pay the bills therefor for the period subsequent thereto. If the utility company will not issue separate bills, Buyer will receive a credit against the Purchase Price for Seller’s portion and will pay the entire bill prior to delinquency after Close of Escrow. If Seller has paid utilities in advance in the ordinary course of business, then Buyer shall be charged its
portion of such payment at Close of Escrow. Buyer shall be responsible for making any security deposits required by utility companies providing service to the Real Property.
10.7 Owner Deposits. Seller shall receive a credit at the Close of Escrow for all bonds, deposits, letters of credit, set aside letters or other similar items, if any, that are outstanding with respect to the Real Property that have been provided by Seller or any of its affiliates to any governmental agency, public utility, or similar entity (collectively, “Owner Deposits”) to the extent assignable to Buyer. To the extent any Owner Deposits are not assignable to Buyer, Buyer shall replace such Owner Deposits and obtain the release of Seller (or its affiliates) from any obligations under such Owner Deposits. To the extent that any funds are released as a result of the termination of any Owner Deposits for which Seller did not get a credit, such funds shall be delivered to Seller immediately upon their receipt.
10.8 Intentionally Omitted.
10.9 Final Adjustment After Closing. If final prorations cannot be made at the Close of Escrow for any item being prorated under this Section 10, then, provided Buyer and Seller identify any such proration (“Post Closing Proration”) in writing before the Close of Escrow, Buyer and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as invoices or bills are available and applicable reconciliation with tenants have been completed, with final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Close of Escrow (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Close of Escrow, except that adjustments arising from any tax protest under Section 10.3 shall not be subject to such 90‑day limitation, but shall be made as soon as reasonably possible), to the effect that income and expenses are received and paid by the parties on an accrual basis with respect to their period of ownership. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due no later than ninety (90) days after the Close of Escrow, except that adjustments arising from any tax protest under Section 10.3 shall not be subject to such 90‑day limitation, but shall be made as soon as reasonably possible. Seller shall have reasonable access to, and the right to inspect and audit, Buyer’s books to confirm the final prorations for a period of one (1) year after the Close of Escrow. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this Section 10, except for any reconciliation arising out of a tax protest under Section 10.3 hereof, and except for any Post Closing Prorations (which must be determined and paid within ninety (90) days after the Close of Escrow), all prorations made under this Section 10 shall be final as of the Close of Escrow and shall not be subject to further adjustment (whether due to an error or for any other reason) after the Close of Escrow.

(k) To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, neither Seller nor any of its respective affiliates or constituents (but expressly excluding the shareholders of KBS SOR), nor any of their respective brokers or other agents acting in any capacity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is or will be (a) conducting any business or engaging in any transaction or dealing with any person appearing on the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) list of restrictions and prohibited persons (“Prohibited Person”) (which lists can be accessed at the following web address: http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/), including the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Prohibited Person; or (b) dealing in, or otherwise engaging in any transaction relating to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to Executive Order No. 13224 dated September 24, 2001, relating to “Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism”; or (c) engaging in or conspiring to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempting to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any U.S. anti-money laundering law.
(l) Except for this Agreement and the security interests granted to the existing lenders (which will be released at the Close of Escrow pursuant to Section 4.2 above), Seller has not entered into any other contract to sell the Real Property (or any part thereof), and Seller has not entered into any option to purchase, right of first refusal to purchase or first opportunity to purchase the Property or any portion thereof.
For purposes of this Section 11.1, the phrase “To Seller’s Actual Knowledge” shall mean the actual (and not implied, imputed, or constructive) knowledge of Jeff Rader (whom the Seller represents is the asset manager for the Real Property), without any inquiry or investigation of any other parties, including, without limitation, the tenants and the property manager of the Real Property.
The representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement shall survive the recordation of the Deed for a period of twelve (12) months and any action for a breach of Seller’s representations or warranties must be made and filed within said twelve (12) month period. If, after the Effective Date, but before the Close of Escrow, Seller becomes aware of any facts or changes in circumstances that would cause any of its representations and warranties in this Agreement to be untrue at Close of Escrow, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact. In such case, or in the event Buyer obtains information which would cause any of Seller’s representations and warranties to be untrue at Close of Escrow, Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case neither party
shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement (except for Sections 4.3.1, 15.3 and 15.5 which survive termination of this Agreement); or (ii) accept a qualification to Seller’s representations and warranties as of the Close of Escrow and complete the purchase and sale of the Property without any rights to recovery for breach of the unqualified representation and warranty. Other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, if Buyer proceeds with the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall be deemed to have expressly waived any and all remedies for the breach of any representation or warranty discovered by Buyer prior to the Close of Escrow.
11.2 As-Is. As of the Closing Date, Buyer will have:
(a) examined and inspected the Property and will know and be satisfied with the physical condition, quality, quantity and state of repair of the Property in all respects (including, without limitation, the compliance of the Real Property with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 Pub.L. 101-336, 104 Stat. 327 (1990), and any comparable local or state laws (collectively, the “ADA”)) and by consummating this transaction at the Close of Escrow, shall be deemed to have determined that the same is satisfactory to Buyer;
(b) reviewed the Property Information and all instruments, records and documents which Buyer deems appropriate or advisable to review in connection with this transaction, including, but not by way of limitation, any and all architectural drawings, plans, specifications, surveys, building and occupancy permits, and any licenses, leases, contracts, warranties and guarantees relating to the Real Property or the business conducted thereon, and Buyer, by consummating this transaction at the Close of Escrow, shall be deemed to have determined that the same and the information and data contained therein and evidenced thereby are satisfactory to Buyer;
(c) reviewed all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and governmental regulations (including, but not limited to, those relating to building, zoning and land use) affecting the development, use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Real Property, and Buyer, by consummating this transaction at the Close of Escrow, shall be deemed to have determined that the same are satisfactory to Buyer; and
(d) at its own cost and expense, made its own independent investigation respecting the Property and all other aspects of this transaction, and shall have relied thereon and on the advice of its consultants in entering into this Agreement, and Buyer, by consummating this transaction at the Close of Escrow, shall be deemed to have determined that the same are satisfactory to Buyer.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND EXCEPT FOR SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IN SECTION 11.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY WARRANTIES OF TITLE CONTAINED IN THE DEED DELIVERED AT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW (“SELLER’S WARRANTIES”), THIS SALE IS MADE AND WILL BE MADE WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, COVENANT, OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND (WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, STATUTORY) BY SELLER. AS A MATERIAL PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER AGREES TO ACCEPT THE PROPERTY ON AN “AS IS” AND “WHERE IS” BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, ALL OF

15.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties in respect to the subject matter hereof, and the parties intend for the literal words of this Agreement to govern and for all prior negotiations, drafts, and other extrinsic communications, whether oral or written, to have no significance or evidentiary effect.

The parties hereto fully understand and acknowledge the importance of the foregoing sentence and are aware that the law may permit subsequent oral modification of a contract notwithstanding contract language which requires that any such modification be in writing, but Buyer and Seller fully and expressly intend that the foregoing requirements as to a writing be strictly adhered to and strictly interpreted and enforced by any court which may be asked to decide the question.

15.10 Headings; Construction. The various headings of this Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof. When the context and construction so require, all words used in the singular herein shall be deemed to have been used in the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter and vice versa. The use in this Agreement of the term “including” and related terms such as “include” shall in all cases mean “without limitation.” All references to “days” in this Agreement shall be construed to mean calendar days unless otherwise expressly provided and all references to “business days” shall be construed to mean days on which national banks are open for business.
15.11 Time of Essence. Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision hereof and failure to perform timely any of the terms, conditions, obligations or provisions hereof by either party shall constitute a material breach of, and non-curable (but waivable) default under this Agreement by the parties so failing to perform.
15.12 Partial Validity; Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
15.13 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and no third party is intended to, or shall have, any rights hereunder.

Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Daylight Time).
15.17 Procedure for Indemnity. The following provisions govern actions for indemnity under this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim, such indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor, deliver to the indemnitor written notice thereof and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and, if the indemnitor agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages, and losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to such claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity only if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnitee other than under this indemnity. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent.
15.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
15.19 No Personal Liability.

Joint Venture or partnership in which the Company has an interest, (iii) the Advisor determines that it will no longer pursue collection or other remedies related to such investment, or (iv) the Advisor recommends a revised fee arrangement with respect to such investment.

The payment of any Disposition Fees by the Company shall be subject to the limitations contained in the Company’s Charter. Any Disposition Fee payable under this Section 8.03 may be paid in addition to commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total commissions (including such Disposition Fee) paid to all Persons by the Company for each Sale shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6% of the aggregate Contract Sales Price of each Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission for each Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment.

When determining whether the above threshold (the “Subordinated Share of Cash Flows Threshold”) has been met:

The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a promissory note or any combination of the foregoing. The Subordinated Incentive Fee will be reduced by the amount of any prior payment to the Advisor of a Subordinated Share of Cash Flows. In the event the Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid to the Advisor following Listing, no other performance fee will be paid to the Advisor. In addition, the Subordinated Incentive Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Subordinated Incentive Fee not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.
8.07 Changes to Fee Structure. The Advisor and the Company shall not agree to reduce the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows Threshold, the Subordinated Incentive Fee Threshold or the Termination Fee Threshold without the approval of Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares.

RELATIONSHIP OF ADVISOR AND COMPANY;
OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR
11.01 Relationship. The Company and the Advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates. Nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any manager, director, officer, employee or equityholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein. The Advisor shall promptly disclose to the Board the existence of
any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, that creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor’s obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other Person.
11.02 Time Commitment. The Advisor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents to, devote to the Company such time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

11.03 Investment Opportunities and Allocation. The Advisor shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company. In the event an investment opportunity is located, the allocation procedure set forth under the caption “Conflicts of Interest – Certain Conflict Resolution Measures – Allocation of Investment Opportunities” in the Registration Statement shall govern the allocation of the opportunity among the Company and Affiliates of the Advisor.
ARTICLE 12
THE KBS NAME
The Advisor and its Affiliates have a proprietary interest in the name “KBS.” The Advisor hereby grants to the Company a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive royalty-free right and license to use the name “KBS” during the term of this Agreement. Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain the Advisor or one of its Affiliates to perform advisory services for the Company, the Company will, promptly after receipt of written request from the Advisor, cease to conduct business under or use the name “KBS” or any derivative thereof and the Company shall change its name and the names of any of its subsidiaries to a name that does not contain the name “KBS” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any its Affiliates. At such time, the Company will also make any changes to any trademarks, servicemarks or other marks necessary to remove any references to the word “KBS.” Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having “KBS” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by the Company.

Any indemnification of the Advisor may be made only out of the net assets of the Company and not from Stockholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify the Advisor or its Affiliates for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.
15.02 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not provide for indemnification of the Advisor or its Affiliates for any liability or loss suffered by any of them, nor shall any of them be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company, unless all of the following conditions are met:
(i) The Advisor or its Affiliates have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company.
(ii) The Advisor or its Affiliates were acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company.
(iii) Such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Advisor or its Affiliates.
15.03 Limitation on Payment of Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding only if (in addition to the procedures required by the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time) all of the following are satisfied: (a) the proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties
or services on behalf of the Company, (b) the legal proceeding was initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder or, if by a stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement and (c) the Advisor or its Affiliates undertake to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that the particular indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

With respect to the acquisition or origination of a Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment to be wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, the Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor shall equal 1.0% of the sum of the amount actually paid or allocated to fund the acquisition, origination, development, construction or improvement of the Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment, inclusive of the Acquisition Expenses associated with such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment and the amount of any debt associated with, or used to fund the investment in, such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment. With respect to the acquisition or origination of a Property, Loan or other Permitted
Investment through any Joint Venture or any partnership in which the Company or the Partnership is, directly or indirectly, a partner, the Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor shall equal 1.0% of the portion of the amount actually paid or allocated to fund the acquisition, origination, development, construction or improvement of the Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment, inclusive of the Acquisition Expenses associated with such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment, plus the amount of any debt associated with, or used to fund the investment in, such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment that is attributable to the Company’s investment in such Joint Venture or partnership. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of Acquisition Fees by the Company shall be subject to the limitations on Acquisition Fees contained in (and defined in) the Company’s Charter. The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company following the closing or closings of each acquisition or origination, accompanied by a computation of the Acquisition Fee. Generally, the Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor shall be paid at the closing of the transaction upon receipt of the invoice by the Company. However, the Acquisition Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Acquisition Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.
8.02 Asset Management Fees.
(i) Except as provided in Section 8.02(ii) hereof, the Company shall pay the Advisor as compensation for the services described in Section 3.03 hereof a monthly fee (the “Asset Management Fee”) in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the sum of the Cost of Real Estate Investments and the Cost of Loans and other Permitted Investments. The Advisor shall submit a monthly invoice to the Company, accompanied by a computation of the Asset Management Fee for the applicable period. Generally, the Asset Management Fee payable to the Advisor shall be paid on the last day of such month, or the first business day following the last day of such month. However, the Asset Management Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Asset Management Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.02(i) to the contrary, a Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment that has suffered an impairment in value, reduction in cash flow or other negative circumstances may either be excluded from the calculation of the Cost of Real Estate Investments or the Cost of Loans and other Permitted Investments or included in such calculation at a reduced value that is recommended by the Advisor and the Company’s management and then approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors, and the resulting change in the Asset Management Fee with respect to such an investment will be applicable upon the earlier to occur of the date on which (i) such investment is sold, (ii) such investment is surrendered to a Person other than the Company, its direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary or a Joint Venture or partnership in which the Company has an interest, (iii) the Advisor determines that it will no longer pursue collection or other remedies related to such investment, or (iv) the Advisor recommends a revised fee arrangement with respect to such investment.
8.03 Disposition Fees. If the Advisor or any of its Affiliates provide a substantial amount of services (as determined by the Conflicts Committee) in connection with a Sale, the Advisor or such Affiliate shall receive a fee at the closing (the “Disposition Fee”) equal to 1% of the Contract Sales Price; provided, however, that if in connection with such Sale commissions are paid to third parties other than the Advisor or its Affiliates, the fee paid to the Advisor or any of its Affiliates may not exceed the commissions paid to such unaffiliated third parties; and provided further that no Disposition Fee shall be payable to the Advisor for any Sale if such Sale involves the Company selling all or substantially all of its assets in one or more transactions designed to effectuate a business combination transaction (as opposed to a Company liquidation, in which case the Disposition Fee would be payable if the Advisor or an Affiliate provides a substantial amount of services as provided above). The payment of any Disposition Fees by the Company shall be subject to the limitations contained in the Company’s Charter. Any Disposition Fee payable under this Section 8.03 may be paid in addition to commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total commissions (including such Disposition Fee) paid to all Persons by the Company for each Sale shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6% of the aggregate Contract Sales Price of each Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission for each Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment. The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company following the closing or closings of each disposition, accompanied by a computation of the Disposition Fee. Generally, the Disposition Fee payable to the Advisor shall be paid at the closing of the transaction upon receipt of the invoice by the Company. However, the Disposition Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Disposition Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.
8.04 Subordinated Share of Cash Flows. The Subordinated Share of Cash Flows shall be payable to the Advisor in an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which (I) 15% of Operating Cash Flow and Cash from Sales, Settlements and Financings remaining after the Stockholders have received Distributions of Operating Cash Flow and of Cash from Sales, Settlements and Financings since Company inception such that the owners of all outstanding Shares have received Distributions since Company inception in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of the Stockholders’ 7% Return and Invested Capital, exceeds (II) the Prior Advisor Performance Fee Value.
When determining whether the above threshold (the “Subordinated Share of Cash Flows Threshold”) has been met:
(A) Any stock dividend since Company inception shall not be included as a Distribution; and
(B) Distributions since Company inception paid on Shares redeemed by the Company (and thus no longer included in the determination of Invested Capital), shall not be included as a Distribution.
Following Listing, no Subordinated Share of Cash Flows will be paid to the Advisor.
If the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows is payable to the Advisor, the Advisor shall submit a monthly invoice to the Company, accompanied by a computation of the total amount of the
Subordinated Share of Cash Flows for the applicable period. Generally, the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows payable to the Advisor shall be paid on the last day of such month, or the first business day following the last day of such month. However, the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.
8.05 Subordinated Incentive Fee. Upon Listing, the Advisor shall be entitled to the Subordinated Incentive Fee in an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which (I) 15% of the amount by which (i) the market value of the outstanding Shares of the Company, measured by taking the average closing price or the average of the bid and asked price, as the case may be, over a period of 30 days during which the Shares are traded, with such period beginning 180 days after Listing (the “Market Value”), plus the total of all Distributions paid to Stockholders (excluding any stock dividends) from Company inception until the date that Market Value is determined, exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) 100% of Invested Capital and (B) the total Distributions required to be paid to the Stockholders in order to pay the Stockholders’ 7% Return from Company inception through the date Market Value is determined (the sum of (A) and (B) is the “Subordinated Incentive Fee Threshold”) exceeds (II) the Prior Advisor Performance Fee Value. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a promissory note or any combination of the foregoing. The Subordinated Incentive Fee will be reduced by the amount of any prior payment to the Advisor of a Subordinated Share of Cash Flows. In the event the Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid to the Advisor following Listing, no other performance fee will be paid to the Advisor. In addition, the Subordinated Incentive Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Subordinated Incentive Fee not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.
8.06 Changes to Fee Structure. The Advisor and the Company shall not agree to reduce the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows Threshold, the Subordinated Incentive Fee Threshold or the Termination Fee Threshold without the approval of Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares. In the event of Listing, the Company and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee structure appropriate for a perpetual-life entity.

ARTICLE 11
RELATIONSHIP OF ADVISOR AND COMPANY;
OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR
11.01 Relationship. The Company and the Advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates. Nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any manager, director, officer, employee or equityholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein. The Advisor shall promptly disclose to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, that creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor’s obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other Person.
11.02 Time Commitment. The Advisor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents to, devote to the Company such time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that the Advisor and its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage in activities unrelated to the Company and may provide services to Persons other than the Company or any of its Affiliates.
11.03 Investment Opportunities and Allocation. The Advisor shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company.
ARTICLE 12
THE PACIFIC OAK NAME
The Advisor and its Affiliates have a proprietary interest in the name “Pacific Oak.” The Advisor hereby grants to the Company a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive royalty-free right and license to use the name “Pacific Oak” during the term of this Agreement. Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain the Advisor or one of its Affiliates to perform advisory services for the Company, the Company will, promptly after receipt of written request from the Advisor, cease to conduct business under or use
the name “Pacific Oak” or any derivative thereof and the Company shall change its name and the names of any of its subsidiaries to a name that does not contain the name “Pacific Oak” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any its Affiliates. At such time, the Company will also make any changes to any trademarks, servicemarks or other marks necessary to remove any references to the word “Pacific Oak.” Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having “Pacific Oak” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by the Company.
