TIC
 
On September 28, 2017, the Company acquired a 72.71% TIC interest in the Fujifilm property. The remaining 27.29% undivided interest in the Fujifilm property is held by Hagg Lane II, LLC (23.37%) and Hagg Lane III, LLC (3.92%). The manager of Hagg Lane II, LLC and Hagg Lane III, LLC is a board member of the Sponsor. The Fujifilm property does not qualify as a VIE and consolidation is not required as the Company does not control the TIC. Therefore, the Company accounts for its interest in the TIC using the equity method. The Company receives 72.71% of the cash flow distributions and recognizes 72.71% of the results of operations.
 
At September 30, 2017, Fujifilm had real estate assets of $29,625,072, total assets of $29,988,240, mortgage note payable of $14,500,000 and total liabilities of $14,311,258. The equity pick-up (72.71% of net income) for three days during the period ended September 30, 2017 was immaterial and therefore not recorded.
