NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2014
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Organization and Nature of Business – National Retail Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, is a fully integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed in 1984. The terms “NNN” and the “Company” refer to National Retail Properties, Inc. and all of its consolidated subsidiaries. NNN has elected to treat certain subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries. These taxable subsidiaries and their majority owned and controlled subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “TRS.”
NNN's assets include: real estate, mortgages and notes receivable, and commercial mortgage residual interests. NNN acquires, owns, invests in and develops properties that are leased primarily to retail tenants under long-term net leases and primarily held for investment (“Properties” or “Property Portfolio”).

| June 30, 2014
Property Portfolio: |
Total properties | 1,927 |
Gross leasable area (square feet) | 20,751,000 |
States | 47 |

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. Amounts as of December 31, 2013, included in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included herein, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as well as Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in NNN's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Principles of Consolidation – NNN’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of each of the Company's respective majority owned and controlled affiliates, including transactions whereby NNN has been determined to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance included in Consolidation. All significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated. NNN applies the equity method of accounting to investments in partnerships and joint ventures that are not subject to control by NNN due to the significance of rights held by other parties.
Real Estate Portfolio – NNN records the acquisition of real estate which is not subject to a lease at cost, including acquisition and closing costs. The cost of properties developed by NNN includes direct and indirect costs of construction, property taxes, interest and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the development period until the project is substantially complete and available for occupancy. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, NNN recorded $487,000 and $921,000, respectively, in capitalized interest during development and recorded $321,000 and $540,000, in capitalized interest during development during the same periods in 2013, respectively.
Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Real Estate Subject to a Lease – In accordance with the FASB guidance on business combinations, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases, based in each case on their fair values. Acquisition costs incurred in connection with a business combination are expensed when incurred.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired leased property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land, building and tenant improvements based on the determination of the fair values of these assets. The as-if-vacant fair value of a property is provided to management by a qualified appraiser.
In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value (using an interest rate which
8

reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases, and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease and the applicable option terms if it is probable that the tenant will exercise the option. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term unless the Company believes that it is likely that the tenant will renew the option whereby the Company amortizes the value attributable to the renewal over the renewal period.
The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases, is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as-if-vacant, determined as set forth above. The value of in-place leases exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off. The value of tenant relationships is reviewed on individual transactions to determine if future value was derived from the acquisition.
Intangible assets and liabilities consisted of the following as of (in thousands):

Cash and Cash Equivalents – NNN considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and money market accounts and are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.
Cash accounts maintained on behalf of NNN in demand deposits at commercial banks and money market funds may exceed federally insured levels. However, NNN has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Valuation of Receivables – NNN estimates the collectability of its accounts receivable related to rents, expense reimbursements and other revenues. NNN analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debt levels, tenant credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, tenants in bankruptcy are analyzed and estimates are made in connection with the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims.
Earnings Per Share – Earnings per share have been computed pursuant to the FASB guidance included in Earnings Per Share. Effective January 1, 2009, the guidance requires classification of the Company’s unvested restricted share units, which carry rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends, as participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing earnings per share. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.

Fair Value Measurement – NNN’s estimates of fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels:

• | Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• | Level 2 – Valuation is based upon inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

• | Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

New Accounting Pronouncements – In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." The objective of the amendments in this update is to eliminate the diversity in practice of financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The provisions of the update are that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented, with certain exceptions, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a significant impact on NNN's financial position or results of operations.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposal of Components of an Entity,” effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2014. Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations are to be presented as discontinued operations. NNN has elected early adoption of ASU 2014-08. This requires the Company to continue to classify any property disposal or property classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2013 as discontinued operations prospectively. Therefore, the revenues and expenses related to these properties are presented as discontinued operations as of June 30, 2014. The Company did not classify any additional properties as discontinued operations subsequent to December 31, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have a significant impact on NNN’s financial position or results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The core principle of ASU 2014-09, is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. NNN is currently evaluating the provisions to determine the potential impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial position and results of operations.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)," effective for annual periods and interim periods within those periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. NNN is currently evaluating the provisions to determine the potential impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2014-12 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Use of Estimates – Management of NNN has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Significant estimates include provisions for impairment and allowances for certain assets, accruals, useful lives of assets and purchase price allocation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification – Certain items in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation.
Note 2 – Real Estate:
Real Estate – Portfolio
Leases – The following outlines key information for NNN’s leases:

Lease classification: |
Operating | 1,957 |
Direct financing | 12 |
Building portion – direct financing / land portion – operating | 1 |
Weighted average remaining lease term | 12 Years |

The leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of fixed increases, increases in the consumer price index, and/or increases in the tenant’s sales volume. Generally, the tenant is also required to pay all property taxes and assessments, substantially maintain the leased premises and carry property and liability insurance coverage. Certain of NNN’s Properties are subject to leases under which NNN retains responsibility for specific costs and expenses of the property. Generally, the leases of the Properties provide the tenant with one or more multi-year renewal options subject to generally the same terms and conditions, including rent increases, consistent with the initial lease term.
Real Estate Portfolio – Accounted for Using the Operating Method – Real estate subject to operating leases consisted of the following as of (dollars in thousands):

Real Estate – Held For Sale
On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its Properties for held for sale classification based on specific criteria as outlined in ASC 360, Property, Plant & Equipment, including management’s intent to commit to a plan to sell the asset. In January 2014, NNN completed a strategic review of its Properties held for sale and reclassified one Property that was previously held for sale to held for investment, included in Real Estate – Portfolio. As of June 30, 2014, NNN had nine of its Properties categorized as held for sale. NNN anticipates the disposition of these Properties to occur within 12 months. NNN's real estate held for sale at December 31, 2013, includes 11 properties, two of which were subsequently sold in 2014.

Real Estate – Impairments
Management periodically assesses its real estate for possible impairment whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. Events or circumstances that may occur include significant changes in real estate market conditions and the ability of NNN to re-lease or sell properties that are vacant or become vacant. Impairments are measured as the amount by which the current book value of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. As a result of the Company's review of long lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets, NNN recognized the following real estate impairments (dollars in thousands):

| Quarter Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2014 |  | 2013 |  | 2014 |  | 2013
Continuing operations | $ | 89 |  |  | $ | 249 |  |  | $ | 485 |  |  | $ | 3,100 |
Discontinued operations | — |  |  | 904 |  |  | 63 |  |  | 904 |
| $ | 89 |  |  | $ | 1,153 |  |  | $ | 548 |  |  | $ | 4,004 |

The valuation of impaired assets is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, income capitalization, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties, which are Level 3 inputs. NNN may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when measuring the fair value of its real estate.
Note 3 – Line of Credit Payable:
NNN's $500,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) had a weighted average outstanding balance of $55,144,000 and a weighted average interest rate of 1.2% during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Credit Facility matures October 2016, unless the Company exercises its option to extend maturity to October 2017. The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 107.5 basis points; however, such interest rate may change pursuant to a tiered interest rate structure based on NNN's debt rating. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature to increase the facility size up to $1,000,000,000, subject to lender approval. As of June 30, 2014, there was no outstanding balance and $500,000,000 was available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility.
Note 4 – Notes Payable:
In April 2013, NNN filed a prospectus supplement to the prospectus contained in its February 2012 shelf registration statement and issued $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.300% notes due April 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). The 2023 Notes were sold at a discount with an aggregate purchase price of $347,406,000 with interest payable semi-annually commencing on October 15, 2013. The discount of $2,594,000 is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate for the 2023 Notes after accounting for the note discount is 3.388%. NNN previously entered into four forward starting swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $240,000,000. Upon issuance of the 2023 Notes, NNN terminated the forward starting swaps resulting in a liability of $3,156,000, of which $3,141,000 was deferred in other comprehensive income. The deferred liability is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2023 Notes using the effective interest method.
The 2023 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of NNN and are subordinated to all secured indebtedness and to the indebtedness and other liabilities of NNN's subsidiaries. Additionally, the 2023 Notes are redeemable at NNN's option, in whole or part anytime, for an amount equal to (i) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, and (ii) the make whole amount, if any, as defined in the supplemental indenture dated April 9, 2013, relating to the 2023 Notes.
NNN received approximately $344,266,000 of net proceeds in connection with the issuance of the 2023 Notes, after incurring debt issuance costs totaling $3,140,000 consisting primarily of underwriting discounts and commissions, legal and accounting fees, rating agency fees and printing expenses.

The 2024 Notes were sold at a discount with an aggregate purchase price of $349,293,000 with interest payable semi-annually commencing on December 15, 2014. The discount of $707,000 is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate for the 2024 Notes after accounting for the note discount is 3.924%. NNN previously entered into three forward starting swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $225,000,000. Upon issuance of the 2024 Notes, NNN terminated the forward starting swaps resulting in a liability of $6,312,000, which was deferred in other comprehensive income. The deferred liability is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2024 Notes using the effective interest method.
The 2024 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of NNN and are subordinated to all secured indebtedness and to the indebtedness and other liabilities of NNN's subsidiaries. Additionally, the 2024 Notes are redeemable at NNN's option, in whole or part anytime, for an amount equal to (i) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, and (ii) the make whole amount, if any, as defined in the supplemental indenture dated May 5, 2014, relating to the 2024 Notes.
NNN received approximately $346,068,000 of net proceeds in connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes, after incurring debt issuance costs totaling $3,225,000 consisting primarily of underwriting discounts and commissions, legal and accounting fees, rating agency fees and printing expenses.
Note 5 – Notes Payable – Convertible:

As of December 31, 2012, $15,537,000 aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes was outstanding. In January 2013, the Company paid approximately $20,702,000 in aggregate settlement value for the $15,537,000 of outstanding 2026 notes. The difference between the amount paid and the principal amount of the settled notes of $5,028,000 was recognized as a decrease to additional paid-in capital and $137,000 was recorded as interest expense.
As of December 31, 2012, $223,035,000 aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes was outstanding. In June 2013, NNN called all of the outstanding 2028 Notes for redemption on July 11, 2013.

The holders of the remaining balance of $222,905,000 principal amount of 2028 Notes elected to convert into cash and shares of the Company's common stock in accordance with the conversion formula which is based on the average daily closing price of NNN's common stock price over a period of 20 days commencing after receipt of a note holder's conversion notice. In 2013, the Company issued 2,407,911 shares of common stock and paid approximately $226,427,000 in aggregate settlement value for the $223,035,000 aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes outstanding.

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Repurchase Plan – In February 2012, NNN filed a shelf registration statement with the Commission for its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan ("DRIP") which permits the issuance by NNN of up to 16,000,000 shares of common stock. The following table outlines the common stock issuances pursuant to NNN's DRIP (dollars in thousands):

| Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2014 |  | 2013
Shares of common stock | 290,399 |  |  | 475,866 |
Net proceeds | $ | 9,814 |  |  | $ | 15,881 |

Note 7 – Income Taxes:
NNN has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1984. To qualify as a REIT, NNN must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders. NNN intends to adhere to these requirements and maintain its REIT status. As a REIT, NNN generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income that it distributes currently to its stockholders. NNN may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income, if any. The provision for federal income taxes in NNN's consolidated financial statements relates to its TRS operations and any potential taxable built-in gain. NNN did not have significant tax provisions or deferred income tax items during the periods reported hereunder.
In June 2006, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements in accordance with FASB guidance included in Income Taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
NNN, in accordance with FASB guidance included in Income Taxes, has analyzed its various federal and state tax filing positions. NNN believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions are well documented and supported. Additionally, NNN believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to the FASB guidance.
NNN has had no increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits for current or prior years. Further, no interest or penalties have been included since no reserves were recorded and no significant increases or decreases are expected to occur within the next 12 months. When applicable, such interest and penalties will be recorded as non-operating expenses. The periods that remain open under federal statute are 2010 through 2014. NNN also files tax returns in many states with varying open years under statute.
Note 8 – Earnings from Discontinued Operations:
Effective January 1, 2014, NNN has early adopted ASU 2014-08. Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations are to be presented as discontinued operations. This requires the Company to continue to classify any property disposal or property classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2013 as discontinued operations prospectively. Therefore, the revenues and expenses related to these properties are presented as discontinued operations as of June 30, 2014. The Company did not classify any additional properties as discontinued operations subsequent to December 31, 2013.

Note 9 – Derivatives:
In accordance with the guidance on derivatives and hedging, NNN records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
NNN’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks. To accomplish this objective, NNN primarily uses treasury locks, forward swaps ("forward hedges") and interest rate swaps as part of its cash flow hedging strategy. Treasury locks and forward starting swaps are used to hedge forecasted debt issuances. Treasury locks designated as cash flow hedges lock in the yield/price of a treasury security. Forward swaps also lock the associated swap spread. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges hedging the variable cash flows associated with floating rate debt involve the receipt of variable rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount.
For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings.
NNN discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, the derivative is re-designated as a hedging instrument or management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.
When hedge accounting is discontinued, NNN continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet, and recognizes any changes in its fair value in earnings or may choose to cash settle the derivative at that time.
18

In April 2013, NNN terminated four forward starting swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $240,000,000 that were hedging the risk of changes in forecasted interest payments on a forecasted issuance of long-term debt. When terminated, the fair value of the forward starting swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, was a liability of $3,156,000, of which $3,141,000 was deferred in other comprehensive income. The amount reported in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the 2023 Notes.
In May 2014, NNN terminated three forward starting swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $225,000,000 that were hedging the risk of changes in forecasted interest payments on a forecasted issuance of long-term debt. When terminated, the fair value of the forward starting swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, was a liability of $6,312,000, which was deferred in other comprehensive income. The amount reported in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the 2024 Notes.
As of June 30, 2014, $14,357,000 remained in other comprehensive income related to the effective portion of NNN’s previous interest rate hedges. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, NNN reclassified out of comprehensive income $351,000 and $178,000, respectively, as an increase to interest expense. Over the next 12 months, NNN estimates that an additional $1,610,000 will be reclassified as an increase in interest expense. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on NNN’s long-term debt.
NNN does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes or currently have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. NNN had no derivative financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2014.
Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements:
NNN holds the residual interests (“Residuals”) from seven securitizations. Each of the Residuals is recorded at fair value based upon an independent valuation. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity and other than temporary losses as a result of a change in the timing or amount of estimated cash flows are recorded as an other than temporary valuation impairment.
NNN currently values its Residuals based upon an independent valuation which provides a discounted cash flow analysis based upon prepayment speeds, expected loan losses and yield curves. These valuation inputs are generally considered unobservable; therefore, the Residuals are considered Level 3 financial assets. The table below presents a roll forward of the Residuals (dollars in thousands):

| Six Months Ended
| June 30, 2014
Balance at beginning of period | $ | 11,721 |
Total gains (losses) – realized/unrealized: |
Included in earnings | (235 | )
Included in other comprehensive income | 925 |
Interest income on Residuals | 906 |
Cash received from Residuals | (1,230 | )
Purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, net | — |
Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 | — |
Balance at end of period | $ | 12,087 |
Changes in gains (losses) included in earnings attributable to a change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to assets still held at the end of period | $ | 163 |

Note 11 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
NNN believes the carrying value of its Credit Facility approximates fair value based upon its nature, terms and variable interest rate. NNN believes that the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents, mortgages, notes and other receivables, mortgages payable and other liabilities at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximate fair value based upon current market prices of similar issues. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of NNN’s notes payable was $1,801,701,000 and $1,555,672,000, respectively, based upon quoted market prices, which is a Level 1 valuation since NNN's debt is publicly traded.

Note 12 – Subsequent Events:
NNN reviewed its subsequent events and transactions that have occurred after June 30, 2014, the date of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. There were no reportable subsequent events or transactions.

Overview
NNN, a Maryland corporation, is a fully integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed in 1984. NNN's assets include: real estate, mortgages and notes receivable, and commercial mortgage residual interests (the "Residuals"). NNN acquires, owns, invests in and develops properties that are leased primarily to retail tenants under long-term net leases and primarily held for investment (“Properties” or “Property Portfolio”).
As of June 30, 2014, NNN owned 1,927 Properties, with an aggregate gross leasable area of approximately 20,751,000 square feet, located in 47 states. Approximately 98 percent of the Properties in the Property Portfolio were leased as of June 30, 2014.
NNN’s management team focuses on certain key indicators to evaluate the financial condition and operating performance of NNN. The key indicators for NNN include items such as: the composition of the Property Portfolio (such as tenant, geographic and line of trade diversification), the occupancy rate of the Property Portfolio, certain financial performance ratios and profitability measures, and industry trends and performance compared to that of NNN.
NNN monitors the creditworthiness of its current and prospective tenants. Monitoring activities include: (i) reviewing of financial statements and press releases, (ii) reviewing credit ratings from major credit rating agencies, (iii) monitoring industry news publications, and (iv) developing a thorough understanding of the tenant's business and operations. In addition, periodically NNN meets with the senior management of certain tenants.
NNN continues to maintain its diversification by tenant, geography and tenant’s line of trade. NNN’s highest lines of trade concentrations are the convenience store and restaurant (including full and limited service) sectors. These sectors represent a large part of the freestanding retail property marketplace and NNN’s management believes these sectors present attractive investment opportunities. NNN’s Property Portfolio is geographically concentrated in the south and southeast United States, which are regions of historically above-average population growth. Given these concentrations, any financial hardship within these sectors or geographic locations, respectively, could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and operating performance of NNN.

Analysis of Revenue From Continuing Operations
General. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, rental income increased primarily due to an increase in rental income from property acquisitions (See “Results of Operations – Property Analysis – Property Acquisitions”). NNN anticipates increases in rental income will continue to come from additional property acquisitions and increases in rents pursuant to lease terms.
The following summarizes NNN’s revenues from continuing operations (dollars in thousands):

| Quarter Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
|  |  |  |  |  |  | Percent of Total |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Percent of Total

(1) Includes rental income from operating leases, earned income from direct financing leases and percentage rent from continuing operations (“Rental Income”).
Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Rental Income. Rental Income increased in dollar amount but was relatively unchanged as a percent of the total revenues from continuing operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in rental income is primarily due to the acquisition of 81 properties with aggregate gross leasable area of approximately 522,000 square feet during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 275 properties with aggregate gross leasable area of approximately 1,652,000 square feet during 2013.

Analysis of Expenses from Continuing Operations
General. Operating expenses from continuing operations increased for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense from certain properties acquired in 2013. The increase was slightly offset by a decrease in general and administrative expense. The following table summarizes NNN’s expenses from continuing operations for the quarters ended June 30 (dollars in thousands):

|  |  |  |  | Percent Increase (Decrease) |  | Percentage of Total |  | Percentage of Revenues from Continuing Operations

Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased in dollar amount, as a percentage of total operating expenses and as a percentage of revenues from continuing operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, is primarily attributable to a decrease in real estate acquisition costs.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased in dollar amount, as a percentage of total operating expenses and as a percentage of revenues from continuing operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013. The increase is primarily due to depreciation expense from the 81 properties
25

with aggregate gross leasable area of approximately 522,000 square feet acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the 275 properties with aggregate gross leasable area of approximately 1,652,000 square feet acquired during 2013.
Impairment Charges. NNN reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may occur include changes in real estate market conditions, the ability of NNN to re-lease properties that are currently vacant or become vacant, and the ability to sell properties at an attractive price. Management evaluates whether an impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), including the residual value of the real estate, with the carrying cost of the individual asset. If an impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. NNN recorded $485,000 and $3,100,000 of real estate impairments during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of which $89,000 and $249,000 was recorded during the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013.
The following represents the primary changes in debt that have impacted interest expense:

(i) | the issuance in April 2013 of $350,000,000 principal amount of notes payable with a maturity of April 2023, and stated interest rate of 3.300%;

(ii) | the settlement of $223,035,000 principal amount of 5.125% convertible notes payable in 2013;

(iii) | the issuance in May 2014 of $350,000,000 principal amount of notes payable with a maturity of June 2024, and stated interest rate of 3.900%;

(iv) | the repayment in June 2014 of $150,000,000 principal amount of notes payable with a stated interest rate of 6.250%; and

(v) | a $17,662,000 decrease in the weighted average debt outstanding on the credit facility for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, and a slightly lower weighted average interest rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013.

Discontinued Operations
Earnings. Effective January 1, 2014, NNN has early adopted ASU 2014-08. Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations are to be presented as discontinued operations. This requires the Company to continue to classify any property disposal or property classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2013 as discontinued operations prospectively. Therefore, the revenues and expenses related to these properties are presented as discontinued operations as of June 30, 2014. The Company did not classify any additional properties as discontinued operations subsequent to December 31, 2013.
The following table summarizes the earnings (loss) before income tax expense from discontinued operations for the quarter ended June 30 (dollars in thousands):

| 2014 |  | 2013
# of Sold Properties |  | Gain |  | Earnings |  | # of Sold Properties |  | Gain |  | Earnings

26

NNN periodically sells Properties and may reinvest the sales proceeds to purchase additional properties. NNN evaluates its ability to pay dividends to stockholders by considering the combined effect of income from continuing and discontinued operations.
Liquidity
General. NNN’s demand for funds has been and will continue to be primarily for (i) payment of operating expenses and cash dividends; (ii) property acquisitions and development; (iii) origination of mortgages and notes receivable; (iv) capital expenditures; (v) payment of principal and interest on its outstanding indebtedness; and (vi) other investments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The table below summarizes NNN’s cash flows (in thousands):

| Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2014 |  | 2013
Cash and cash equivalents: |  |  |
Provided by operating activities | $ | 137,019 |  |  | $ | 121,190 |
Used in investing activities | (160,420 | ) |  | (466,894 | )
Provided by financing activities | 107,274 |  |  | 580,544 |
Increase | 83,873 |  |  | 234,840 |
Net cash at beginning of period | 1,485 |  |  | 2,076 |
Net cash at end of period | $ | 85,358 |  |  | $ | 236,916 |

Cash provided by operating activities represents cash received primarily from rental income from tenants, proceeds from the disposition of certain properties and interest income less cash used for general and administrative expenses, interest expense and acquisition of certain properties. NNN’s cash flow from operating activities, net of cash used in and provided by the acquisition and disposition of certain properties, has been sufficient to pay the distributions for each period presented. NNN uses proceeds from its Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of its properties. The change in cash provided by operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, is primarily the result of changes in revenues and expenses as discussed in “Results of Operations.” Cash generated from operations is expected to fluctuate in the future.
Changes in cash for investing activities are primarily attributable to the acquisitions and dispositions of Properties.
NNN’s financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014, included the following significant transactions:

• | $46,400,000 in net payments on NNN's Credit Facility,

• | $9,814,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of 290,399 shares of common stock in connection with the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan ("DRIP"),

• | $65,526,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of 1,861,206 shares of common stock in connection with the at-the-market ("ATM") equity program,

• | $98,958,000 in dividends paid to common stockholders,

• | $9,523,000 in dividends paid to holders of the depositary shares of NNN’s Series D Preferred Stock,

• | $8,194,000 in dividends paid to holders of the depositary shares of NNN’s Series E Preferred Stock,

• | $150,000,000 in repayment of the 6.25% notes payable, and

• | $346,068,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of the 3.90% notes payable.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments. The information in the following table summarizes NNN’s contractual obligations and commercial commitments outstanding as of June 30, 2014. The table presents principal cash flows by year-end of the expected maturity for debt obligations and commercial commitments outstanding as of June 30, 2014.

| Expected Maturity Date (dollars in thousands)
| Total |  | 2014 |  | 2015 |  | 2016 |  | 2017 |  | 2018 |  | Thereafter
Long-term debt(1) | $ | 1,733,791 |  |  | $ | 546 |  |  | $ | 151,150 |  |  | $ | 6,827 |  |  | $ | 250,147 |  |  | $ | 86 |  |  | $ | 1,325,035 |

Total contractual cash obligations(2) | $ | 1,741,495 |  |  | $ | 546 |  |  | $ | 151,678 |  |  | $ | 7,541 |  |  | $ | 250,875 |  |  | $ | 829 |  |  | $ | 1,330,026 |

(1) | Includes amounts outstanding under mortgages payable and notes payable and excludes unamortized note discounts and unamortized mortgage premiums.

(2) | Excludes $18,532 of accrued interest payable.

In addition to the contractual obligations outlined above, NNN has agreed to fund construction commitments on certain of its leased Properties. The improvements are estimated to be completed within 12 months. These construction commitments, as of June 30, 2014, are outlined in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Number of properties |  | 28 |
Total commitment(1) |  | $ | 100,199 |
Amount funded |  | $ | 62,481 |
Remaining commitment |  | $ | 37,718 |

(1) | Includes land, construction costs and tenant improvements.

As of June 30, 2014, NNN did not have any other material contractual cash obligations, such as purchase obligations, financing lease obligations or other long-term liabilities other than those reflected in the tables above and previously disclosed under Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in NNN's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition to items reflected in the tables, NNN has issued preferred stock with cumulative preferential cash distributions, as described below under “Dividends.”
Management anticipates satisfying these obligations with a combination of NNN’s cash provided from operations, current capital resources on hand, its credit facility, debt or equity financings and asset dispositions.
Generally, the Properties are leased under long-term net leases, which require the tenant to pay all property taxes and assessments, substantially maintain the interior and exterior of the property and carry property and liability insurance coverage. Therefore, management anticipates that capital demands to meet obligations with respect to these Properties will be modest for the foreseeable future and can be met with funds from operations and working capital. Certain of NNN’s Properties are subject to leases under which NNN retains responsibility for specific costs and expenses associated with the Property. Management anticipates that the costs associated with NNN’s vacant Properties or those Properties that become vacant will also be met with funds from operations and working capital. NNN may be required to borrow under its credit facility or use other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures.
The lost revenues and increased property expenses resulting from vacant properties or uncollectibility of lease revenues could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and results of operations if NNN is unable to re-lease the Properties at comparable rental rates and in a timely manner. As of June 30, 2014, NNN owned 30 vacant, un-leased Properties which accounted for approximately two percent of total Properties held in NNN’s Property Portfolio.
NNN generally monitors the financial performance of its significant tenants on an ongoing basis.
Dividends. NNN has made an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, as amended, and related regulations and intends to continue to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. NNN generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that it distributes to its stockholders, provided that it distributes 100 percent of its REIT taxable income and meets certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. If NNN fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost. Such an event could materially adversely affect NNN’s income and ability to pay dividends. NNN believes it has been structured as, and its past and present operations qualify NNN as, a REIT.
28

One of NNN’s primary objectives, consistent with its policy of retaining sufficient cash for reserves and working capital purposes and maintaining its status as a REIT, is to distribute a substantial portion of its funds available from operations to its stockholders in the form of dividends.
The following table outlines the dividends declared and paid for each issuance of NNN's stock (in thousands, except per share data):

|  | Six Months Ended June 30,
|  | 2014 |  | 2013
Series D preferred stock (1): |  |  |
| Dividends | $ | 9,523 |  |  | $ | 9,523 |
| Per share | 0.828125 |  |  | 0.828125 |
Series E preferred stock (1): |  |  |
| Dividends | 8,194 |  |  | — |
| Per share | 0.71250 |  |  | — |
Common stock: |  |  |
| Dividends | 98,958 |  |  | 90,943 |
| Per share | 0.810 |  |  | 0.790 |

(1) The Series D and E preferred stock have no maturity date and will remain outstanding unless redeemed.
In July 2014, NNN declared a dividend of $0.420 per share which is payable in August 2014 to its common stockholders of record as of July 31, 2014.
Capital Resources
Generally, cash needs for property acquisitions, mortgages and notes receivable investments, debt payments, capital expenditures, development and other investments have been funded by equity and debt offerings, bank borrowings, the sale of properties and, to a lesser extent, by internally generated funds. Cash needs for operating expenses and dividends have generally been funded by internally generated funds. If available, future sources of capital include proceeds from the public or private offering of NNN’s debt or equity securities, secured or unsecured borrowings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of properties, as well as undistributed funds from operations.
Debt
The following is a summary of NNN’s total outstanding debt as of (dollars in thousands):

| June 30, 2014 |  | Percentage of Total |  | December 31, 2013 |  | Percentage of Total
Line of credit payable | $ | — |  |  | — |  | $ | 46,400 |  |  | 3.0%
Mortgages payable | 8,892 |  |  | 0.5% |  | 9,475 |  |  | 0.6%
Notes payable | 1,714,091 |  |  | 99.5% |  | 1,514,184 |  |  | 96.4%
Total outstanding debt | $ | 1,722,983 |  |  | 100.0% |  | $ | 1,570,059 |  |  | 100.0%

Indebtedness. NNN expects to use indebtedness primarily for property acquisitions and development of single-tenant retail properties, either directly or through investment interests, and mortgage and note receivables.
Line of Credit Payable. NNN's $500,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) had a weighted average outstanding balance of $55,144,000 and a weighted average interest rate of 1.2% during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Credit Facility matures October 2016, unless the Company exercises its option to extend maturity to October 2017. The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 107.5 basis points; however, such interest rate may change pursuant to a tiered interest rate structure based on NNN's debt rating. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature to increase the facility size up to $1,000,000,000, subject to lender approval. As of June 30, 2014, there was no outstanding balance and $500,000,000 was available for future borrowings, under the Credit Facility.
29

Notes Payable – Convertible. NNN recorded the following interest expense related to the 5.125% convertible senior notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") during 2013. No interest expense was recorded during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

| Quarter Ended June 30, 2013 |  | Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Contractual interest expense | $ | 2,516 |  |  | $ | 5,374 |
Noncash interest charges | 950 |  |  | 2,072 |
Amortization of debt costs | 260 |  |  | 566 |
Total interest expense | $ | 3,726 |  |  | $ | 8,012 |

There was no interest expense related to the 3.950% convertible senior notes due 2026 ("the 2026 Notes") recorded during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
As of December 31, 2012, $15,537,000 aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes was outstanding. In January 2013, the Company paid approximately $20,702,000 in aggregate settlement value for the $15,537,000 of outstanding 2026 notes. The difference between the amount paid and the principal amount of the settled notes of $5,028,000 was recognized as a decrease to additional paid-in capital and $137,000 was recorded as interest expense.
As of December 31, 2012, $223,035,000 aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes was outstanding. In June 2013, NNN called all of the outstanding 2028 Notes for redemption on July 11, 2013. On July 11, 2013, $130,000 principal amount of the 2028 Notes was settled at par plus accrued interest. The holders of the remaining balance of $222,905,000 principal amount of 2028 Notes elected to convert into cash and shares of the Company's common stock in accordance with the conversion formula which is based on the average daily closing price of NNN's common stock price over a period of 20 days commencing after receipt of a note holder's conversion notice. In 2013, the Company issued 2,407,911 shares of common stock and paid approximately $226,427,000 in aggregate settlement value for the $223,035,000 aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes outstanding. The difference between the amount paid and the principal amount of the settled notes of $3,197,000 was recognized as a decrease to additional paid-in capital and $195,000 was recorded as interest expense.
Notes Payable. In April 2013, NNN filed a prospectus supplement to the prospectus contained in its February 2012 shelf registration statement and issued an aggregate $350,000,000 principal amount of 3.300% notes due April 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). The 2023 Notes were sold at a discount with an aggregate purchase price of $347,406,000 with interest payable semi-annually commencing on October 15, 2013. The discount of $2,594,000 is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate for the 2023 Notes after accounting for the note discount is 3.388%. NNN previously entered into four forward starting swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $240,000,000. Upon issuance of the 2023 Notes, NNN terminated the forward starting swaps resulting in a liability of $3,156,000, of which $3,141,000 was deferred in other comprehensive income. The deferred liability is being amortized over the term of the 2023 Notes using the effective interest method.
The 2023 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of NNN and are subordinated to all secured indebtedness and to the indebtedness and other liabilities of NNN's subsidiaries. Additionally, the 2023 Notes are redeemable at NNN's option, in whole or part anytime, for an amount equal to (i) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, and (ii) the make whole amount, if any, as defined in the supplemental indenture dated April 9, 2013, relating to the 2023 Notes.
NNN received approximately $344,266,000 of net proceeds in connection with the issuance of the 2023 Notes, after incurring debt issuance costs totaling $3,140,000 consisting primarily of underwriting discounts and commissions, legal and accounting fees, rating agency fees and printing expenses.

In May 2014, NNN filed a prospectus supplement to the prospectus contained in its February 2012 shelf registration statement and issued $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.900% notes due June 2024 (the “2024 Notes”). The 2024 Notes were sold at a discount with an aggregate purchase price of $349,293,000 with interest payable semi-annually commencing on December 15, 2014. The discount of $707,000 is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate for the 2024 Notes after accounting for the note discount is 3.924%. NNN previously entered into three forward starting swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $225,000,000. Upon issuance of the 2024 Notes, NNN terminated the forward starting swaps resulting in a liability of $6,312,000, which was deferred in other comprehensive income. The deferred liability is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2024 Notes using the effective interest method.
The 2024 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of NNN and are subordinated to all secured indebtedness and to the indebtedness and other liabilities of NNN's subsidiaries. Additionally, the 2024 Notes are redeemable at NNN's option, in whole or part anytime, for an amount equal to (i) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, and (ii) the make whole amount, if any, as defined in the supplemental indenture dated May 5, 2014, relating to the 2024 Notes.
NNN received approximately $346,068,000 of net proceeds in connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes, after incurring debt issuance costs totaling $3,225,000 consisting primarily of underwriting discounts and commissions, legal and accounting fees, rating agency fees and printing expenses.
Debt and Equity Securities
NNN has used, and expects to use in the future, issuances of debt and equity securities primarily to pay down its outstanding indebtedness and to finance investment acquisitions.
Securities Offering. In February 2012, NNN filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) which was automatically effective and permits the issuance by NNN of an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities.
A description of NNN’s outstanding series of publicly held notes is found under "Debt – Notes Payable" above.
5.700% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. In May 2013, NNN closed an underwritten public offering of 11,500,000 depositary shares (including 1,500,000 depositary shares issued in connection with the underwriters' over-allotment), each representing a 1/100th interest in a share of Series E Preferred Stock, and received gross proceeds of $287,500,000. In connection with this offering, the Company incurred stock issuance costs of approximately $9,856,000, consisting primarily of underwriting commissions and fees, rating agency fees, legal and accounting fees and printing expenses. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes and funding property acquisitions.
Holders of the Series E depositary shares are entitled to receive, when and as authorized by the Board of Directors, cumulative preferential cash dividends at the rate of 5.700% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per depositary share per annum (equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $1.425 per depositary share).

In May 2012, NNN established an at-the-market equity program ("2012 ATM") which allowed NNN to sell up to an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of common stock from time to time through May 2015. The following table outlines the common stock issuances pursuant to the 2012 ATM (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

In February 2012, NNN filed a shelf registration statement which was automatically effective with the Commission for its DRIP, which permits the issuance by NNN of up to 16,000,000 shares of common stock. NNN’s DRIP provides an economical and convenient way for current stockholders and other interested new investors to invest in NNN’s common stock. The following outlines the common stock issuances pursuant to NNN’s DRIP (dollars in thousands):

Commercial Mortgage Residual Interests
NNN holds the residual interests (“Residuals”) from seven securitizations. Each of the Residuals is recorded at fair value based upon an independent valuation. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity and other than temporary losses as a result of a change in the timing or amount of estimated cash flows are recorded as an other than temporary valuation impairment.
The following table summarizes the recognition of unrealized gains and/or losses recorded as other comprehensive income as well as other than temporary valuation impairments recorded in condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (dollars in thousands):

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
NNN is exposed to interest rate risk primarily as a result of its variable rate Credit Facility and its fixed rate debt which are used to finance NNN’s development and acquisition activities, as well as for general corporate purposes. NNN’s interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to reduce overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives, NNN borrows at both fixed and variable rates on its long-term debt. As of June 30, 2014, NNN had no outstanding derivatives.
The information in the table below summarizes NNN’s market risks associated with its debt obligations outstanding as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The table presents principal payments and related interest rates by year for debt obligations outstanding as of June 30, 2014. The table incorporates only those debt obligations that existed as of June 30, 2014, and it does not consider those debt obligations or positions which could arise after this date. NNN's Credit Facility had a zero outstanding balance at June 30, 2014, and $46,400,000 outstanding at December 31, 2013. Moreover, because firm commitments are not presented in the table below, the information presented therein has limited predictive value. As a result, NNN’s ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the quarter, NNN’s hedging strategies at that time and interest rates. If interest rates on NNN’s variable rate debt increased by one percent, NNN’s interest expense would have increased by less than one percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

(1) NNN's mortgages payable include unamortized premiums.
(2) Includes NNN’s notes payable, each net of unamortized discounts. NNN uses market prices quoted from Bloomberg, a third party, which is a level one input, to determine the fair value.
NNN is also exposed to market risks related to the Residuals. Factors that may impact the market value of the Residuals include delinquencies, loan losses, prepayment speeds and interest rates. The Residuals, which are reported at market value based upon an independent valuation, had a carrying value of $12,087,000 and $11,721,000 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Losses considered other than temporary are reported as valuation impairments in earnings from operations if and when there has been a change in the timing or amount of estimated cash flows that leads to a loss in value.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of NNN's management, including NNN's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness as of June 30, 2014 of the design and operation of NNN's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in NNN's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, NNN's internal control over financial reporting.
