Select financial data for Cole as of the June 30, 2012 10-Q and for the period 1/1-6/30/12 is as follows (in millions where applicable):
As shown above, our value for Cole is $5.84 per share versus the initial offering price of $10 per share. During the period ending June 30, 2012, Cole redeemed 1.5 million shares of common stock at $9.32 per share. At the $9.32 per share redemption prices, Cole is valued at a cap rate of approximately 6.4%. Current cap rates for net leased retail properties per CBRE and Real Capital Analytics investment surveys are in the 6% to 9% range, depending on the credit of the tenant and location of the property. We have used a cap rate of 8% due to Cole’s portfolio being primarily single tenant leases with noninvestment grade tenants. At a price of $5.84 per share, Cole’s dividend yield is 5.3% which we consider appropriate for the portfolio. Cole’s gross real estate assets, net income and funds from operations for 2010 to June 30, 2012 are shown below.
