2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
ConsolidationGeneral
     Our accounting policies have been established to conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company’s consolidatedpreparation of financial statements include its accountsin conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the accountsreported amounts of its subsidiary,revenue and expenses during the OP. All intercompany profits, balancesreporting periods. If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions are eliminatedis different, it is possible that different accounting policies will be applied or different amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses will be recorded, resulting in consolidation.
     Under accounting principles generally accepteda different presentation of the financial statements or different amounts reported in the United Statesfinancial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of America (“GAAP”),our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
     The complete list of our Significant Accounting Policies was previously disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements will also include2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the accounts of its consolidated subsidiariesSEC on March 31, 2010, as amended by the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on May 17, 2010 (as amended, the “Form 10-K”), and joint ventures in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, or in which the Company has a controlling interest. In determining whether the Company has a controlling interest in a joint venture and the requirementthere have been no material changes to consolidate the accounts of that entity, the Company’s management considers factors suchour Significant Accounting Policies as an entity’s purpose and design and the Company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance, ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity in which it will absorb the majority of the entity’s expected losses, if they occur, or receive the majority of the expected residual returns, if they occur, or both.disclosed therein.

     The financial information as of September 30, 2009and for the period ended March 31, 2010 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for such period.and operating results. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annualcomplete consolidated financial statements. The Company’s audited consolidated financial statements asInterim results of and for the period from October 16, 2008 (inception) through December 31, 2008 are contained in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-11 Amendment No. 2 (File No. 333-154975) filed March 10, 2009. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that mayto be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.
Allocation of Real Property Purchase Price
     The Company accounts for all acquisitions in accordance with GAAP. The Company first determines the value of the land and buildings utilizing an “as if vacant” methodology. The Company then assigns a fair value to any debt assumed at acquisition. The balance of the purchase price is allocated to tenant improvements and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities. Tenant improvements represent the tangible assets associated with the existing leases valued on a fair value basis at the acquisition date prorated over the remaining lease terms. The tenant improvements are classified as an asset under real estate investments and are depreciated over the remaining lease terms. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities relate to the value of in-place operating leases which come in three forms: (1) leasing commissions and legal costs, which represent the value associated with “cost avoidance” of acquiring in-place leases,full year; such as lease commissions paid under terms generally experienced in the Company’s markets; (2) value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated loss of revenue and of costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased; and (3) above or below market value of in-place leases, which represents the difference between the contractual rents and market rents at the time of the acquisition, discounted for tenant credit risks. The value of in-place leases are recorded in deferred charges and other assets and amortized over the remaining lease terms plus an estimate of renewal of the acquired leases. Above or below market leases are classified in deferred charges and other assets or in other accrued liabilities, depending on whether the contractual terms are above or below market, and the asset or liability is amortized to rental revenue over the remaining terms of the leases.

     When the Company acquires real estate properties, the Company will allocate the purchase price to the components of these acquisitions using relative fair values computed using its estimates and assumptions. Acquisition costs willresults may be expensed as incurred. These estimates and assumptions impact the amount of costs allocated between various components as well as the amount of costs assigned to individual properties in multiple property acquisitions. These allocations also impact depreciation expense and gains or losses recorded on future sales of properties.
Noncontrolling Interest
     In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued a standard that establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The standard, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. In accordance with the guidance, the presentation provisions were presented retrospectively on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, which resulted in a reclassification of $2,000 in noncontrolling interests to permanent equity as of December 31, 2008. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.
Real Property
     Costs related to the development, redevelopment, construction and improvement of properties will be capitalized. Interest incurred on development, redevelopment and construction projects will be capitalized until construction is substantially complete.
     Maintenance and repair expenses will be charged to operations as incurred. Costs for major replacements and betterments, which include heating, ventilating, and air conditioning equipment, roofs, and parking lots, will be capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Gains and losses will be recognized upon disposal or retirement of the related assets and are reflected in earnings. Property will be recorded at cost and will be depreciated using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Years
Buildings and improvements5-40 years
Exterior improvements10-20 years
Equipment and fixtures5-10 years
Revenue Recognition
     The Company will recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. Rental income recognition commences when the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased space. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements will be recorded as deferred rent receivable and will be included as a component of accounts and rents receivable in theless favorable. Our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company anticipates collecting these amounts over the terms of the leases as scheduled rent payments are made. Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses will be accrued as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. Lease payments that depend on a factor that does not exist or is not measurable at the inception of the lease, such as future sales volume, would be contingent rentals in their entirety and, accordingly, would be excluded from minimum lease payments and included in the determination of income as they are earned.

Share Redemption Plan
     The share redemption plan allows for share repurchases by the AdvisorCompany when certain criteria are met by requesting stockholders. Share repurchases will be made at the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors. The number of shares to be redeemed during any calendar year is limited to no more than (1) 5.0% of the weighted average of the number of shares of its common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year and (2) those that could be funded from the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the DRIP in connection with services providedthe prior calendar year plus such additional funds as may be borrowed or reserved for that purpose by the Company’s board of directors. In addition, the Company’s board of directors reserves the right to reject any redemption request for any reason or no reason or to amend or terminate the share redemption program at any time. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock pursuant to the share redemption program nor had any such requests been received.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
     The DRIP allows stockholders to purchase additional shares of common stock through the reinvestment of distributions, subject to certain conditions.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, $31,000 in distributions were reinvested and 3,316 shares of common stock were issued under the DRIP.
Distributions
     In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to the Company’s stockholders. Until the Company generates sufficient cash flow from operations to fully fund the payment of distributions, some or all of its distributions will be paid from other sources, including offering proceeds. The amount and timing of cash distributions will be determined by the Company’s board of directors and will depend on the amount of funds available for distribution, current and projected cash requirements, tax considerations, any limitations imposed by the terms of indebtedness the Company may incur and other factors. As a result, the distribution rate and payment frequency may vary from time to time. Because the Company may receive income from interest or rents at various times during its fiscal year, distributions may not reflect its income earned in that particular distribution period but may be made in anticipation of cash flow which the Company expects to receive during a later quarter and may be made in advance of actual receipt of funds in an attempt to make distributions relatively uniform. Due to these timing differences, the Company may be required to borrow money, use proceeds from the issuance of securities or sell assets in order to make distributions.
     On August 13, 2009, the Company’s board of directors approved a monthly cash distribution of $0.05625 per common share, which represents an annualized distribution of $0.675 per share. The commencement of the distribution was subject to the Company raising a minimum of offering proceeds of $2,000,000, the sale of a sufficient number of shares in the Company’s public offering to finance an asset acquisition and the identification and completion of an asset acquisition. On November 12, 2009, the Company achieved the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000, and on November 19, 2009 the Company completed the acquisition of the Moreno Property, thus satisfying all of the conditions for the commencement of the monthly distribution. The distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2010 exceeded the Company’s net income since the Company had a loss for the period. Therefore, cash amounts distributed to stockholders were $127,507.funded from proceeds from the offering.
     On December 31, 2009, the Company declared a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $24,000, of which $18,000 was paid in cash on January 15, 2010 and $6,000 was paid through the DRIP in the form of additional shares issued on December 31, 2009.

5.7. Earnings Per Share
     Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the basic EPS computation for the effect of dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The effect of non-vested shares, if dilutive, is computed using the treasury stock method. The Company applies the two-class method for determining EPS as its outstanding unvested shares with non-forfeitable dividend rights are considered participating securities. The Company’s excess of distributions over earnings related to participating securities are shown as a reduction in income (loss) attributable to stockholders in the Company’s computation of EPS.

Overview
     We were formed asare a Maryland corporation formed on September 18, 2008 to invest in and manage a portfolio of income-producingincome producing retail properties, located primarily in the Western United States, and real estate-related assets, including the investment in or origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans related to commercial real estate. We plan to own substantially all of our assets and conduct our operations through our operating partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. We intend to elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2009.
     On August 7, 2009, our Registration StatementNovember 4, 2008, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-154975), registeringwith the SEC to offer a public offeringmaximum of up to $1,100,000,000 in shares of our common stock, was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and we commenced our initial public offering. We are offering up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock to the public in our primary offering at $10.00 per share and up to 10,526,316 shares of our common stock to stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. On August 7, 2009, the SEC declared our registration statement effective and we commenced our initial public offering. We are initially offering shares of our common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain purchasers, and to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, or DRIP, at a price of $9.50 per share.
          We may not sell any shares in the offering until we have raised gross offering proceeds of $2,000,000 from persons who are not affiliated with us. Pending satisfaction of this condition, all subscription payments will be placed in an account held by our escrow agent in trust for subscribers’ benefit. If we do not raise $2,000,000 in the offering by August 7, 2010, we will promptly return all funds in the escrow account (including interest) to subscribers and we will stop selling our shares. As of September 30, 2009, we had not raised the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000.     On November 12, 2009, we raisedachieved the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000 and offering proceeds were released to us from thean escrow account. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Offering Proceeds Released from Escrow.”From the commencement of our public offering through March 31, 2010, we sold 902,617 shares for gross offering proceeds of $8,898,000, which includes 4,031 shares issued through the DRIP, for gross proceeds of $38,000.
     We are dependent upon proceeds receivedintend to invest in a portfolio of income-producing retail properties, primarily located in the Western United States, including neighborhood, community and lifestyle shopping centers, multi-tenant shopping centers and free standing single-tenant retail properties. In addition to investments in real estate directly or through joint ventures, we may also acquire or originate first mortgages or second mortgages, mezzanine loans or other real estate-related loans, which we refer to collectively as “real estate-related loans,” in each case provided that the underlying real estate meets our criteria for direct investment. We may also invest in any other real property or other real estate-related assets that, in the opinion of our board of directors, meets our investment objectives and is in the best interests of our stockholders. As of March 31, 2010, our portfolio included one property, the Moreno Marketplace, or Moreno property, a multi-tenant retail center located in Moreno Valley, California encompassing 94,574 square feet, including 78,743 of rentable square feet.
     Under our Articles of Amendment and Restatement, which we refer to as our “charter,” we have a limitation on borrowing, which precludes us from borrowing, in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets. Net assets for purposes of this calculation is defined as our total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost prior to deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts and other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. The preceding calculation is generally expected to approximate 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. However, our charter allows us to temporarily borrow in excess of these amounts if such excess is approved by a majority of the independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report, along with an explanation for such excess. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we exceeded the 300% limit due to the exclusion of intangible assets that were incurred with the acquisition of the Moreno property. Because these intangible assets were part of the purchase price and because our overall indebtedness is less than 75% of the book value of our assets at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, this excess borrowing has been approved by our independent directors.
     On December 14, 2009, we assumed the rights to a purchase and sale agreement for the acquisition of Waianae Mall, an approximately 170,275 square foot multi-tenant retail center consisting of 11 buildings located in Honolulu, Hawaii, or the Waianae property. An affiliate of our sponsor entered into a purchase agreement to purchase the Waianae property for an aggregate purchase price of $25,688,000, including the assumption of debt on the property. In connection with this potential acquisition, we formed TNP SRT Waianae Mall, LLC, or TNP SRT Waianae, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our operating partnership, to complete the acquisition.
     We intend to purchase the Waianae property using debt financing and funds raised through our public offering of common stock. We anticipate paying an acquisition fee of 2.5%, or $642,000, of the purchase price to our advisor, TNP Strategic Retail Advisor, LLC. We expect to close the acquisition in the second quarter of 2010, however, there is no assurance that the closing will occur within this timeframe, or at all.

This potential acquisition is subject to substantial conditions to closing including: (1) the sale of a sufficient number of shares of our common stock in our initial public offering to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Waianae property; (2) the final approval of the loan servicer for the existing indebtedness on the Waianae property to be assumed by us and any indebtedness that we may incur in orderthe receipt of other applicable third-party consents; and (3) the absence of a material adverse change to conduct our proposed real estate investment activities. We have initially been capitalized with $200,000 which was contributed in cash on October 16, 2008, from the saleWaianae property prior to the date of 22,222 shares in the aggregate. Our sponsor, or any affiliate of our sponsor, must maintain this investment while it remains our sponsor.acquisition.

     Our office is located at 1900 Main Street, Suite 700, Irvine, California 92614, and our main telephone number is (949) 833-8252.
Results of Operations
     Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we commenced operations on November 19, 2009 in connection with our first property acquisition. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we had been formed but had not yet commenced our ongoing initial public offering or real estate operations. As a result, we had no results of operations for that period.
Revenue
     Revenue was $298,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and is not required to, establish working capital reserves from offering proceeds outcomprised solely of cash flow generated by our investments or out of proceedsrental income from the saleMoreno property. The occupancy for the Moreno property was 70.9% based on 78,743 of our investments.rentable square feet as of March 31, 2010 (the Moreno property is comprised of 94,574 total square feet with 78,743 square feet of building improvements and 15,831 square feet of finished but unimproved pad sites). We do not anticipate establishingexpect rental income to increase in future periods as we acquire real estate investments in the future.
General and administrative expenses
     General and administrative expenses were $381,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. These general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of legal and accounting, restricted stock compensation, directors’ fees, insurance, due diligence costs for potential acquisitions and organization expenses. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in the future based on a general working capital reserve duringfull year of real estate operations and as a result of anticipated future acquisitions, but to decrease as a percentage of total revenue.
Acquisition expenses
     Acquisition expenses were $12,000 for the initial stagesthree months ended March 31, 2010, all of our initial public offering; however, we may establish capital reserves with respect to particular investments. We also may, but are not required to, establish reserves out of cash flow generated by investments or out of net sale proceeds in non-liquidating sale transactions. Working capital reserves are typically utilized to fund tenant improvements, leasing commissions and major capital expenditures. Our lenders also may require working capital reserves.
          To the extent that the working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash generated from operations or through short-term borrowing. In addition, subject to certain limitations, we may incur indebtednesswhich were incurred in connection with the acquisition of any real estate asset, refinance the debt thereon, arrangeMoreno property.
Operating and maintenance expenses
     Operating and maintenance expenses were $161,000 for the leveragingthree months ended March 31, 2010. Included in operating and maintenance expense are asset management and property management fees incurred and payable to our advisor and its affiliates of any previously unfinanced$20,000 and $4,000, respectively. We expect asset management and property or reinvest the proceeds of financing or refinancingmanagement fees to increase in additional properties.
          If we qualifyfuture years as a real estate investment trust, or REIT,result of owning our investments for federal income tax purposes, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualifya full year and as a REIT in any taxable year after the taxable year in which we initially elect to be taxed as a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our 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 in which qualification is denied. Failing to qualify as a REIT could materially and adversely affect our net income.result of anticipated future acquisitions.

1418


Depreciation and amortization expense
     Depreciation and amortization expense was $102,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. We expect these amounts to increase in future years as a result of owning our property for a full year and as a result of anticipated future acquisitions.
Interest expense
     Interest expense was $221,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which included the amortization of deferred financing costs of $60,000. Our real estate property acquisition was financed with $11,126,000 of indebtedness. We expect that in future periods our interest expense will vary based on the amount of our borrowings, which will depend on the cost of borrowings, the amount of proceeds we raise in our ongoing initial public offering and our ability to identify and acquire real estate and real estate-related assets that meet our investment objectives.
Interest income
     Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $2,000 and related primarily to interest earned on cash deposits held for future acquisitions.
Net loss
     We had a net loss of $577,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our operating loss is due primarily to the reasons set forth above and the fact that we own one real estate investment and we commenced real estate operations on November 19, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     We commenced real estate operations with the acquisition of our first property on November 19, 2009. Our principal demand for funds will be to acquirefor the acquisition of real estate assets, to paythe payment of operating expenses, principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and to makethe payment of distributions to our stockholders. Over time, we intend to generally fund our cash needs from operations for items other than asset acquisitions.acquisitions from operations. Our cash needs for acquisitions and investments will be funded primarily from the sale of shares of our common stock, including those offered for sale through our distribution reinvestment plan,the DRIP, and through the assumption of debt.
Offering Proceeds Released from Escrow
               Pursuant to the terms of our public offering, we were required to deposit all subscription proceeds in escrow pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement with CommerceWest Bank, N.A. until we receive subscriptions aggregating at least $2,000,000.     As of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, we had not raisedcash and cash equivalents on hand of $3,798,000.
     Net cash provided by financing activities for the minimum offering amountthree months ended March 31, 2010 were $3,311,000, consisting primarily of $2,000,000 in our initial public offering. On November 12, 2009, we satisfied the conditions of our escrow agreement. As of November 16, 2009, we had accepted investors’ subscriptions for, and issued, 237,700 shares of our common stock, resulting innet offering proceeds of $2,292,350.
Results$3,858,000, which was used to fund $73,000 in distributions to stockholders (net of Operationsreinvested distributions), $444,000 in offering costs, and $30,000 for the repayment of indebtedness.
     DuringNet cash used in operating activities for the period from our inception (October 16, 2008) to September 30, 2009, we had been formed but had not yet commenced real estate operations. As a result, we had no material results of operations for that period. The SEC declared the registration statement for our initial public offering effective on August 7, 2009.
          Pursuantthree months ended March 31, 2010 was $619,000, which was primarily due to the advisory agreement, we are obligated to reimburse our advisor or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs associated with our initial public offering, provided that our advisor is obligated to reimburse us to the extent organization and offering costs, other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees,net loss incurred by us exceed 3.0% of our gross offering proceeds. Prior to raising the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000, we have no obligation to reimburse our advisor or its affiliates for any organization and offering costs. As of September 30, 2009, our advisor and its affiliates have incurred organization costs of $1,361,470.
     We will reimburse our advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by our advisor in connection with the services provided to us, subject to the limitation that we will not reimburse our advisor for any amount by which our operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of: (1) 2% of our average invested assets, or (2) 25% of our net income determined without reduction for any additions to depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash expenses and excluding any gain from the sale of our assets for that period. Notwithstanding the above, we may reimburse our advisor for expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of the independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors. As of September 30, 2009, amounts incurred by our advisor in connection with services provided to us were $127,507.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
          Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions is different, it is possible that different accounting policies will be applied or different amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses will be recorded, resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements or different amounts reported in the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that management considers to be

15


most critical once we commence significant operations. These policies require complex judgment in their application or estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Principles of Consolidation
          Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiary, TNP Strategic Retail Operating Partnership, LP. All intercompany profits, balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
          Our consolidated financial statements will also include the accounts of our consolidated subsidiaries and joint ventures in which we are the primary beneficiary or in which we have a controlling interest. In determining whether we have a controlling interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, our management considers factors such as an entity’s purpose and design and our ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance, ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity in which we will absorb the majority of the entity’s expected losses, if they occur, or receive the majority of the expected residual returns, if they occur, or both.
Allocation of Real Property Purchase Price
          We account for all acquisitions in accordance with GAAP. We first determine the value of the land and buildings utilizing an “as if vacant” methodology. We then assign a fair value to any debt assumed at acquisition. The balance of the purchase price is allocated to tenant improvements and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities. Tenant improvements represent the tangible assets associated with the existing leases valued on a fair value basis at the acquisition date prorated over the remaining lease terms. The tenant improvements are classified as an asset under real estate investments and are depreciated over the remaining lease terms. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities relate to the value of in-place operating leases which come in three forms: (1) leasing commissions and legal costs, which represent the value associated with “cost avoidance” of acquiring in-place leases, such as lease commissions paid under terms generally experienced in our markets; (2) value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated loss of revenue and of costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased; and (3) above or below market value of in-place leases, which represents the difference between the contractual rents and market rents at the time of the acquisition, discounted for tenant credit risks. The value of in-place leases are recorded in deferred charges and other assets and amortized over the remaining lease terms plus an estimate of renewal of the acquired leases. Above or below market leases are classified in deferred charges and other assets or in other accrued liabilities, depending on whether the contractual terms are above or below market, and the asset or liability is amortized to rental revenue over the remaining terms of the leases.
          When we acquire real estate properties, we will allocate the purchase price to the components of these acquisitions using relative fair values computed using estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions impact the amount of costs allocated between various components as well as the amount of costs assigned to individual properties in multiple property acquisitions. These allocations also impact depreciation expense and gains or losses recorded on future sales of properties.
          Acquisition costs and fees will be expensed immediately as incurred. Following the property acquisitions, there will be a subsequent positive impact on net income through a reduction in depreciation expense over the estimated life of the property as a result of acquisition costs and fees no longer being capitalized and depreciated. By reducing net income, the standard will reduce our funds from operations, or FFO, and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders from FFO.

Real Property
          Costs related to the development, redevelopment, construction and improvement of properties are capitalized. Interest incurred on development, redevelopment and construction projects is capitalized until construction is substantially complete.
          Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Costs for major replacements and betterments, which include heating, ventilating, and air conditioning equipment, roofs and parking lots, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Gains and losses are recognized upon disposal or retirement of the related assets and are reflected in earnings.
          Property is recorded at cost and is depreciated using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Years
Buildings and improvements5-40 years
Exterior improvements10-20 years
Equipment and fixtures5-10 years
Revenue Recognition
          We will recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements will be recorded as deferred rent receivable and will be included as a component of accounts and rents receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We anticipate collecting these amounts over the terms of the leases as scheduled rent payments are made. Reimbursements from tenants for recoverablefact that we own one real estate taxesinvestment and operating expenses will be accrued as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. Lease payments that depend on a factor that does not exist or is not measurable at the inception of the lease, such as future sales volume, would be contingent rentals in their entirety and, accordingly, would be excluded from minimum lease payments and included in the determination of income as they are earned.
Valuation of Accounts and Rents Receivable
          We will take into consideration certain factors that require judgments to be made as to the collectability of receivables. Collectability factors taken into consideration are the amounts outstanding, payment history and financial strength of the tenant, which taken as a whole determines the valuation.
Organization and Offering Costs
          Organization and offering costs are paid by our advisor on our behalf and are deferred until we have an obligation to reimburse our advisor. The amount of the reimbursement to our advisor for cumulative organization and offering costs is limited to a maximum amount of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock sold. Such costs shall include legal, accounting, printing and other offering expenses, including marketing, salaries and direct expenses of our advisor’s employees and employees of our advisor’s affiliates and others. Any such reimbursement will not exceed actual expenses incurred by our advisor.
          All offering costs, including sales commissions and dealer manager fees will be recorded as an offset to additional paid-in-capital, and all organization costs will be recorded as an expense when we have an obligation to reimburse our advisor.
          Prior to raising the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000, we have no obligation to reimburse our advisor or its affiliates for any organization or offering costs. As of September 30, 2009, organization and offering costs incurred by our advisor on our behalf were $1,361,470.

17


Income Taxes
          We intend to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, commencing in the taxable year in which we satisfy the minimum offering requirements. If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent we distribute our REIT taxable income to our stockholders, so long as we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operations requirements. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
Cash and Restricted Cash
     Cash represents current bank accounts and other bank deposits free of encumbrances and having maturity dates of three months or less from the respective dates of deposit. As of September 30, 2009, we did not have cash on deposit in excess of federally insured levels. We limit cash investments to financial institutions with high credit standing; therefore, we believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash.
     Proceeds from the offering are held in a restricted escrow account until the minimum offering has been achieved. As of September 30, 2009, $124,500 of subscriptions for common shares had been received from investors.
Inflation
          We expect to include provisions in our tenant leases designed to protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions will include reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements, or in some cases annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain allowance. Due to the generally long-term nature of these leases, annual rent increases, as well as rents received from acquired leases, may not be sufficient to cover inflation and rent may be below market. As of September 30, 2009, we had not entered into or acquired any leases.
REIT Compliance
          To qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, we will be required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. We must also meet certain asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. We will monitor the business and transactions that may potentially impact our REIT status. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which our REIT qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
Distributions
          We intend to make regular cash distributions to our stockholders, typically on a monthly basis. The actual amount and timing of distributions will be determined by our board of directors in its discretion and typically will depend on the amount of funds available for distribution, which is impacted by current and projected cash requirements, tax considerations and other factors. As a result, our distribution rate and payment frequency may vary from time to time. However, to qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, we must make distributions equal to at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income” each year.
          On August 13, 2009, our board of directors approved a monthly cash distribution of $0.05625 per common share. The monthly distribution is contingent upon the closing of our first asset acquisition and is expected to be made in the calendar month following the closing of such asset acquisition. The monthly distribution amount represents an annualized distribution of $0.675 per share. The commencement of the distribution is subject to

18


achieving minimum offering proceeds of $2,000,000, the sale of a sufficient number of shares in our public offering to finance an asset acquisition and identifying and completing an asset acquisition.
Funds from Operations
          One of our objectives is to provide cash distributions to our stockholders from cash generated by our operations. Cash generated from operations is not equivalent to net operating income as determined under GAAP. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, an industry trade group, or NAREIT, has promulgated a standard known as Funds from Operations, or FFO for short, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in which the REIT holds an interest. We will adopt the NAREIT definition for computing FFO because, in our view, subject to the following limitations, FFO provides a better basis for measuring our operating performance and comparing our performance and operations to those of other REITs. The calculation of FFO may, however, vary from entity to entity because capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity. Items which are capitalized do not impact FFO, whereas items that are expensed reduce FFO. Consequently, the presentation of FFO by us may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. FFO is not intended to be an alternative to net income as an indicator of our performance or to “Cash Flows from Operating Activities” as determined by GAAP as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions. As of September 30, 2009, we have not commenced real estate operations and therefore we have not calculated FFO.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
          As of September 30, 2009, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial conditions, changes in financial conditions, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Subsequent EventsNovember 19, 2009.
KeyBank RevolvingDebt
Line of Credit Facility
     On November 12, 2009, ourthe operating partnership entered into a revolving credit agreement, or the credit agreement, with KeyBank National Association, (“KeyBank”),or Key Bank, as administrative agent for itself and the other lenders named in the credit agreement, or the lenders, to establish a revolving credit facility with a maximum aggregate borrowing capacity of up to $15,000,000. The proceeds of the revolving credit facility may be used by the operating partnership for investments in properties and real estate-related assets, improvement of properties, costs involved in the ordinary course of the operating partnership business and for other general working capital purposes; provided, however, that prior to any funds being advanced to the operating partnership under the revolving credit facility, KeyBank shall have the authority to review and approve, in its sole discretion, the investments whichthat the operating partnership proposes to make with such funds, and the operating partnership shall be required to satisfy certain enumerated conditions set forth in the credit agreement, including, but not limited to, limitations on outstanding indebtedness with respect to a proposed property acquisition, a ratio of net operating income to debt service on the prospective property of at least 1.35 to 1.00 and a requirement that the prospective property be 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the operating partnership.

19


     The credit agreement contains customary covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on distributions, the incurrence of debt and the granting of liens. Additionally, the credit agreement contains certain covenants relating to the amount of offering proceeds we receive in our continuous offering of common stock. The operating partnership received a waiver from KeyBank relating to the covenant in the credit agreement requiring us to raise at least $2,000,000 in shares of common stock in our public offering during each of January, February and March 2010 and at least $3,000,000 in April 2010. In addition, the operating partnership received a waiver relating to the covenant requiring us to maintain a 1.3 to 1 debt service coverage ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The credit agreement is guaranteed by our sponsor and an affiliate of the sponsor. As part of the guarantee agreement, our sponsor and its affiliate must maintain minimum net worth and liquidity requirements on a combined or individual basis.
     The entire unpaid principal balance of all borrowings under the revolving credit facility and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be due and payable in full on November 12, 2010. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at a variable per annum rate equal to the sum of (a) 425 basis points plus (b) the greater of (1) 300 basis points or (2) 30-day LIBOR as reported by Reuters on the day that is two business days prior to the date of such determination, and accrued and unpaid interest on any past due amounts will bear interest at a variable LIBOR-based rate that in no event shall exceed the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law. The operating partnership paid KeyBank a one time $150,000 commitment fee in connection with entering into the credit agreement and will pay KeyBank an unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum.

19


     As of March 31, 2010, $15,000,000 was available under the KeyBank credit facility, subject to KeyBank’s review and approval described above. No amounts were borrowed during the three months ended March 31, 2010 or were outstanding on this facility as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
     As of March 31, 2010, our outstanding indebtedness totaled $10,460,000, which consisted of $9,210,000 of outstanding mortgage debt on the Moreno property and $1,250,000 of outstanding indebtedness pursuant to a subordinated convertible note. For more information on our outstanding debt, see Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Contractual obligations
     Our contractual obligations are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations since December 31, 2009.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
     Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The credit agreement contains customary covenantspreparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including without limitation, limitations on distributions,making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the incurrencereported amounts of debtassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the grantingreported amounts of liens. The operating partnership may, upon prior written notice to KeyBank, prepay the principal of the borrowings then outstanding under the revolving credit facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
               The performance of the obligations of the operating partnership under the credit agreement are secured by (a) pledges of the operating partnershiprevenue and our respective direct and indirect equity ownership interests in any entity, subject to certain limitations and exceptions, and (b) non-recourse guarantees (which we refer to herein as a “guaranty” and collectively the “guarantees”) granted to KeyBank for the benefit of the lenders by us, Thompson National Properties, LLC, or Thompson National, and Anthony W. Thompson. In connection with the guarantees, the operating partnership has agreed to reimburse Thompson National and Mr. Thompson for any payments made to KeyBank by Thompson National and Mr. Thompson pursuant to their respective guarantees. In addition, as consideration for providing a guaranty, the operating partnership has paid Thompson National a one-time fee of $25,000 and, upon the maturity of the credit agreement, has agreed to pay Thompson National a fee, calculated on a per annum basis, equal to: (x) 0.25% multiplied by (y) the weighted-average amount of borrowings outstanding under the credit agreementexpenses during the term of the credit agreement.reporting periods.

20


If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions is different, it is possible that different accounting policies will be applied or different amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses will be recorded, resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements or different amounts reported in the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
     The complete list of our Critical Accounting Policies was previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and there have been no material changes to our Critical Accounting Policies as disclosed therein.
Interim Financial Information
     The financial information as of and for the period ended March 31, 2010 included in this quarterly report is unaudited, but includes all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results for the period. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; such results may be less favorable. Our accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Inflation
     The majority of our leases at the Moreno property contain inflation protection provisions applicable to reimbursement billings for common area maintenance charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot basis, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain per square foot allowance. We expect to include similar provisions in our future tenant leases designed to protect us from the impact of inflation. Due to the generally long-term nature of these leases, annual rent increases, as well as rents received from acquired leases, may not be sufficient to cover inflation and rent may be below market.
REIT Compliance
     To qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. We must also meet certain asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. We will monitor the business and transactions that may potentially impact our REIT status. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which our REIT qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
Distributions
     We make regular cash distributions to our stockholders on a monthly basis. On August 13, 2009, our board of directors approved a monthly cash distribution of $0.05625 per common share, which represents an annualized distribution of $0.675 per share.
     The actual amount and timing of distributions will be determined by our board of directors in its discretion and typically will depend on the amount of funds available for distribution, which is impacted by current and projected cash requirements, tax considerations and other factors. As a result, our distribution rate and payment frequency may vary from time to time. However, to qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, we must make distributions equal to at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income” each year.

21


     On December 31, 2009, we declared a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $24,000, of which $18,000 was paid in cash on January 15, 2010 and $6,000 was paid through our DRIP in the form of additional shares issued on December 31, 2009. On January 31, 2010, we declared a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $32,000, of which $25,000 was paid in cash on February 12, 2010 and $7,000 was paid through our DRIP in the form of additional shares issued on January 31, 2010. On February 28, 2010, we declared a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $40,000, of which $30,000 was paid in cash on March 15, 2010 and $10,000 was paid through our DRIP in the form of additional shares issued on February 28, 2010. On March 31, 2010, the Company declared a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $47,000, of which $33,000 was paid in cash on April 14, 2010 and $14,000 was paid through the DRIP in the form of additional shares issued on March 31, 2010. On April 30, 2010, the Company declared a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $56,000, of which $39,000 was paid in cash on May 14, 2010 and $17,000 was paid through our DRIP in the form of additional shares issued on April 30, 2010.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
     One of our objectives is to provide cash distributions to our stockholders from cash generated by our operations. Cash generated from operations is not equivalent to net operating income as determined under GAAP. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, an industry trade group, or NAREIT, has promulgated a standard known as Funds from Operations, or FFO for short, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in which the REIT holds an interest. We believe that FFO is helpful to investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and extraordinary items, and as a result when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and interests costs, which is not immediately apparent from net income.
     Changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP have prompted a significant increase in the amount of non-operating items included in FFO, as defined. As a result, in addition to FFO, we also calculate Adjusted Funds from Operations, or adjusted FFO, which excludes from FFO (1) any acquisition expenses and acquisition fees expensed by us and that are related to any property, loan or other investment acquired or expected to be acquired by us and (2) any non-operating non-cash charges incurred by us, such as impairments of property or loans, any other-than-temporary impairments of marketable securities, or other similar charges. We believe that adjusted FFO is helpful to our investors and management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO.
     As explained below, management’s evaluation of our operating performance excludes the items considered in the calculation of adjusted FFO based on the following economic considerations:
Acquisition costs:In evaluating investments in real estate, including both business combinations and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, management’s investment models and analysis differentiates costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Prior to 2009, acquisition costs for these types of investments were capitalized; however, beginning in 2009, acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed. We believe by excluding expensed acquisition costs, adjusted FFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of our real estate investments and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties.
Impairment charge:An impairment charge represents a downward adjustment to the carrying amount of a long-lived asset to reflect the current valuation of the asset even when the asset is intended to be held long-term. Such adjustment, when properly recognized under GAAP, may lag the underlying consequences related to rental rates, occupancy and other operating performance trends. The valuation is also based, in part, on the impact of current market fluctuations and estimates of future capital requirements and long-term operating performance that may not be directly attributable to current operating performance. Because adjusted FFO excludes impairment charges, management believes adjusted FFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in our operating fundamentals rather than changes that may reflect only anticipated losses.
     Subject to the following limitations, FFO and adjusted FFO provides a better basis for measuring our operating performance. The calculation of FFO and adjusted FFO may, however, vary from entity to entity because capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity. Consequently, the presentation of FFO and adjusted FFO by us may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. FFO and adjusted FFO are not intended to be alternatives to net income as an indicator of our performance, liquidity or to “Cash Flows from Operating Activities” as determined by GAAP as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions.

     Our calculation of FFO, and adjusted FFO, is presented in the following table for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

Net Loss $(577,000) $ 
Add:        
Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets  102,000

FFO per share — basic and diluted $(0.66) $ 
       
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding — basic and diluted  709,573   22,000 
       
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     As of March 31, 2010, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial conditions, changes in financial conditions, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Subsequent Events
Status of Offering
     We commenced our initial public offering of up to $1,100,000,000 in shares of common stock on August 7, 2009. As of May 10, 2010, we had accepted investors’ subscriptions for, and issued, 1,088,603 shares of our common stock, including shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $10,604,000.
Distributions Declared
     On March 31, 2010, we declared a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $47,000, of which $33,000 was paid in cash on April 14, 2010 and $14,000 was paid through the DRIP in the form of additional shares issued on March 31, 2010. On April 30, 2010, we declared a monthly distribution in the aggregate amount of $56,000, of which $39,000 was paid in cash on May 14, 2010 and $17,000 was paid through the DRIP in the form of additional shares issued on April 30, 2010.
Convertible Note
     With respect to the convertible note as detailed in Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements, the conversion element of the convertible note expired on April 2, 2010. Because the note was not converted, TNP SRT Moreno paid Advisor an additional acquisition fee of $110,000.
Extension of Waianae Property Purchase Agreement
     On April 26, 2010, TNP SRT Waianae and the seller of the Waianae property entered into the Twelfth Amendment to the Purchase Agreement, or the Twelfth Amendment, which reinstates and amends the purchase agreement. The Twelfth Amendment extends the outside date to close the acquisition of the Waianae property to May 28, 2010 in consideration of the release to the seller of $150,000 of funds deposited by TNP SRT Waianae into an escrow account, which amount is non-refundable and will be applied to the purchase price upon closing of the acquisition of the Waianae property. TNP SRT Waianae has a refundable deposit of $100,000 remaining in the escrow account that will also be applied to the purchase price upon closing of the acquisition of the Waianae property.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
     Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Market fluctuations in real estate financing may affect the availability and cost of funds needed to expand our investment portfolio. In addition, restrictions upon the availability of real estate financing or high interest rates for real estate loans could adversely affect our ability to dispose of real estate in the future. We will seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. With regard to variable rate financing, our advisor will assess our interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Our advisor will maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions. While this hedging strategy will be designed to minimize the impact on our net income and funds from operations from changes in interest rates, the overall returns on your investment may be reduced. Because we have not commenced real estate operations, we currently have limited exposure to financial market risks. As of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, all of our outstanding indebtedness accrued interest at a fixed rate and therefore an increase or decrease in interest rates would have no effect on our interest expense as we had no outstandingexpense.
     The carrying value of our debt approximates fair value as of that date.March 31, 2010, as all of our debt has a fixed interest rate and the rate approximates market interest rates.
     We will also be exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We will seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
