1. Business
Organization
Behringer Harvard REIT I, Inc. (which, along with our subsidiaries, may be referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in June 2002 as a Maryland corporation and has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes. We primarily operate institutional quality real estate. In particular, we have generally focused on acquiring what we believe are institutional quality office properties that have premier business addresses, mainly in metropolitan cities and select suburban markets in the United States, are of high quality construction, offer personalized amenities and are leased to highly creditworthy commercial tenants. As of September 30, 2011, we owned interests in 58 properties located in 21 states and the District of Columbia. We are externally managed and advised by Behringer Advisors, LLC (referred to herein as “Behringer Advisors” or “our advisor”), a Texas limited liability company. Behringer Advisors is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for identifying and making acquisitions and dispositions of investments on our behalf.
Substantially all of our business is conducted through Behringer Harvard Operating Partnership I LP (“Behringer OP”), a Texas limited partnership organized in 2002. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, BHR, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is the sole general partner of Behringer OP. Our direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, BHR Business Trust, a Maryland business trust, and BHR Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, are limited partners holding substantially all of Behringer OP.
Our common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange. However, between 2013 and 2017, management anticipates either listing our common stock on a national securities exchange or liquidating our assets. Depending upon then prevailing market conditions, our management may consider beginning the process of listing or liquidating prior to 2013. In the event we do not obtain listing of our common stock on or before February 2017, unless a majority of the board of directors extends such date, our charter requires us to liquidate our assets.
2. Interim Unaudited Financial Information
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 8, 2011. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted from this report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
The results for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and our results of operations and our cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Described below are certain of our significant accounting policies. The disclosures regarding several of the policies have been condensed or omitted in accordance with interim reporting regulations specified by Form 10-Q. Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete listing of all of our significant accounting policies.

We amortize the value of in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements and in-place leasing commissions to expense over the initial term of the respective leases. The tenant relationship values are amortized to expense over the initial term and any anticipated renewal periods, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets or liabilities exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the acquired lease intangibles related to that tenant would be charged to expense. The estimated remaining average useful lives for acquired lease intangibles range from less than one year to more than ten years. Anticipated amortization associated with the acquired lease intangibles for each of the following five years is as follows (in thousands):
October - December 2011 | | $ | 9,016 | |

Impairment
For our consolidated real estate assets, we monitor events and changes in circumstances that may indicate that carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset including its eventual disposition, to the carrying amount of the asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of approximately $82.0 million and $41.8 million, respectively, related to the impairment of consolidated real estate assets, including discontinued operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of approximately $89.0 million and $77.2 million, respectively, related to the impairment of consolidated real estate assets, including discontinued operations. Primarily, changes in management’s estimate of the intended hold periods for certain of our properties resulted in an assessment of these properties for impairment for both the current year and the prior year periods.
For our unconsolidated real estate assets, including those we own through an investment in a joint venture, tenant-in-common (“TIC”) interest or other similar investment structure, at each reporting date, we compare the estimated fair value of our investment to the carrying amount. An impairment charge is recorded to the extent the fair value of our investment is less than the carrying amount and the decline in value is determined to be other than a temporary decline. There was no impairment charge related to a change in the fair value of our investments in unconsolidated entities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had no impairment charges related to a change in the fair value of our investments in unconsolidated entities and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of approximately $5.1 million related to the impairment of our investments in unconsolidated entities.
If our assumptions regarding the cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of our properties decrease or our expected hold periods decrease, we may incur future impairment charges on our real estate related assets. In addition, we may incur impairment charges on assets classified as held for sale in the future if the carrying amount of the asset upon classification as held for sale exceeds the estimated fair value, less costs to sell.
In connection with estimating the value of our outstanding common stock on May 17, 2010, we evaluated our goodwill for impairment between annual tests and determined that the implied fair value of goodwill was equal to zero, and approximately $11.5 million was charged to impairment expense during the second quarter of 2010. The goodwill consisted of goodwill recorded in connection with our purchase of the subsidiaries of IPC US Real Estate Investment Trust (“IPC”) through a business combination that was completed on December 12, 2007.
Deferred Financing Fees, net
Deferred financing fees are recorded at cost and are amortized to interest expense using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method over the life of the related debt. Deferred financing fees, net of accumulated amortization, totaled approximately $16.6 million and $14.9 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing fees was approximately $15.4 million and $16.8 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We record 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, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of 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. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged items are recorded in earnings. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedges and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of our risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting.
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we do not have any derivatives designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations, nor are derivatives being used for trading or speculative purposes.

Revenue Recognition
We recognize rental income generated from all leases of consolidated real estate assets on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, including the effect of rent holidays, if any. The total net increase to rental revenues due to straight-line rent adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $6.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and includes amounts recognized in discontinued operations. The total net increase to rental revenues due to straight-line rent adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $17.9 million and $11.1 million, respectively, and includes amounts recognized in discontinued operations. As discussed above, our rental revenue also includes amortization of acquired above- and below-market leases. The total net increase to rental revenues due to the amortization of acquired above- and below-market leases for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $2.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and includes amounts recognized in discontinued operations. The total net increase to rental revenues due to the amortization of acquired above- and below-market leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $15.4 million and $9.0 million, respectively, and includes amounts recognized in discontinued operations. Revenues relating to lease termination fees are recognized on a straight-line basis amortized from the time that a tenant’s right to occupy the leased space is modified through the end of the revised lease term. We recognized lease termination fees of approximately $0.8 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which includes amounts recognized in discontinued operations. We recognized lease termination fees of approximately $6.4 million and $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which includes amounts recognized in discontinued operations.
Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and have qualified as a REIT since the year ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax at the corporate level (except to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our taxable income and/or net taxable capital gains).
We acquired the subsidiaries of IPC on December 12, 2007 and have elected for IPC (US), Inc. to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes since the tax year ended December 31, 2008. We believe IPC (US), Inc. is organized and operates in a manner to qualify for this election. Prior to acquisition, IPC (US), Inc. was a taxable C-corporation, and for the balance of the year ended December 31, 2007, IPC (US), Inc. was treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company for federal income tax purposes.
As of September 30, 2011, we have deferred tax liabilities of approximately $2.7 million and deferred tax assets of approximately $0.3 million related to various state taxing jurisdictions. At December 31, 2010, we had deferred tax liabilities of approximately $3.1 million and deferred tax assets of approximately $0.4 million related to various state taxing jurisdictions.
We recognize in our financial statements the impact of our tax return positions if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination (defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent of being sustained upon audit, based on the technical merits of the tax position). Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. We recognize the tax implications of the portion of a tax position that does not meet the more likely than not threshold, together with the accrued interest and penalties, in the financial statements as a component of the benefit (provision) for income taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 we recognized a benefit from income taxes, including amounts recognized in discontinued operations, of approximately $0.3 million related to certain state and local income taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 we recognized a provision for income taxes, including amounts recognized in discontinued operations, of approximately $1.6 million related to certain state and local income taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 we recognized a provision for income taxes, including amounts recognized in discontinued operations, of approximately $0.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively, related to certain state and local income taxes.
4. New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB updated the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The updated guidance requires companies to disclose separately the investments that transfer in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and the reasons for those transfers. Additionally, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), companies should present information separately about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. We adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the Level 3

reconciliation, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. We adopted the remaining guidance on January 1, 2011. The adoption of the required guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.
In April 2011, the FASB issued further clarification on when a loan modification or restructuring is considered a troubled debt restructuring. In determining whether a loan modification represents a troubled debt restructuring, an entity should consider whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty and the lender has granted a concession to the borrower. This guidance is to be applied retrospectively, with early application permitted. This guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.
In May 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance for fair value measurements. The guidance amends existing guidance to provide common fair value measurements and related disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine if it will have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.
In June 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance related to comprehensive income. The guidance requires registrants to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, registrants will be required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in the statements where the components of net income and the components of OCI are presented. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.
5. Fair Value Measurements
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Derivative financial instruments
Currently, we use interest rate caps to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis of the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate caps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
Fair value, as defined by GAAP, is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy) has been established.
We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2011, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains or losses on derivatives are recorded in OCI within equity at each measurement date.
The following table sets forth our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which equals book value, by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2011 (in thousands). We had no derivative financial

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Impairment of Real Estate Related Assets
We have recorded non-cash impairment charges related to a reduction in the fair value of certain of our assets. The inputs used to calculate the fair value of these assets included projected cash flows and a risk-adjusted rate of return that we estimated would be used by a market participant in valuing these assets, third-party broker valuation estimates, bona fide purchase offers or the expected sales price of an executed sales agreement. The following table summarizes those assets which were measured at fair value and impaired during the periods presented (in thousands):

Fair Value Disclosures
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Notes payable totaling approximately $2.4 billion in principal amount as of September 30, 2011 had a fair value of approximately $2.2 billion based upon interest rates for notes with similar terms and remaining maturities that management believes we could have obtained on September 30, 2011. Notes payable totaling approximately $2.7 billion in principal amount as of December 31, 2010 had a fair value of approximately $2.5 billion based upon interest rates for notes with similar terms and remaining maturities that management believes we could have obtained on December 31, 2010. The carrying value of our notes receivable at December 31, 2010 reasonably approximates fair value based on expected interest rates for notes to similar borrowers with similar terms and remaining maturities at December 31, 2010.

Other financial instruments held at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 but not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payables to related parties, accrued liabilities, other liabilities and distributions payable. The carrying value of these items reasonably approximates their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and/or short-term maturities.
6. Real Estate Activities

Total | | | | | | $ | 71,958 | | $ | 68,996 | |
For the three months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded approximately $2.8 million of equity in losses from our investments in unconsolidated entities as compared to approximately $0.3 million of equity in earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities for the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded approximately $2.2 million of equity in losses from our investments in unconsolidated entities as compared to approximately $0.9 million of equity in earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 we recorded approximately $1.1 million and $1.4 million of distributions from our investments in unconsolidated entities. Our equity in earnings (losses) from these investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 represents our proportionate share of the combined earnings (losses) for the period of our ownership. In September 2011, our St. Louis property, a TIC property in which we own a 35.71% interest, recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $8.4 million related to a change in management’s estimate of intended hold period. Our approximate $3.0 million portion of this impairment charge is reflected within our equity in losses of investments in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We may be exposed to the risk associated with variability of interest rates that might impact our cash flows and the results of operations. Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we have used interest rate caps and swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Our interest rate caps and swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from counterparties in exchange for us making capped-rate or fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Our hedging strategy of entering into interest rate caps and swaps, therefore, is to eliminate or reduce, to the extent possible, the volatility of cash flows.
As of September 30, 2011, we have two interest rate cap agreements, one with a notional value of $90.0 million and one with a notional value of $70.0 million. These caps were entered into to cap the interest rate on $160.0 million of borrowings secured by our One Financial Place property. Under the cap agreements, one-month LIBOR is capped at 1.75% until August 14, 2012 and capped at 2.0% from August 15, 2012 until maturity at August 15, 2013.
The following table summarizes the notional values of our derivative financial instruments (in thousands) as of September 30, 2011. The notional values provide an indication of the extent of our involvement in these instruments at September 30, 2011, but do not represent exposure to credit, interest rate, or market risks:

10. Notes Payable
Our notes payable was approximately $2.4 billion in principal amount at September 30, 2011, which consists of approximately $2.4 billion of loans secured by mortgages on our properties and a $26.0 million unsecured bridge loan. Our notes payable was approximately $2.7 billion at December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, all of our debt is fixed rate debt, with the exception of $186.0 million in debt which bears interest at a variable rate.
In July 2011, we replaced approximately $188.6 million of borrowings secured by our One Financial Place property, scheduled to mature in August 2011, with approximately $160.0 million of borrowings with an August 2013 maturity date, and the remaining balance of approximately $28.6 million was paid with cash on hand. In July 2011, we also paid in full the approximate $119.1 million in outstanding borrowings under our previous credit facility that was scheduled to mature in December 2011 with

proceeds from new borrowings of approximately $100.0 million, secured by our One BriarLake Plaza property, that mature in August 2021 and approximately $19.1 million of cash on hand. We also entered into a $26.0 million 120-day bridge loan in July 2011.
At September 30, 2011, the stated annual interest rates on our notes payable ranged from 2.75% to 9.80%, with an effective weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.76%. For each of our loans that are in default, as detailed below, we incur default interest rates which are 500 basis points higher than their stated interest rate, which results in an overall effective weighted average interest rate of approximately 6.08%.
We have a non-recourse property loan of approximately $27.3 million, secured by our Minnesota Center property, that matured in November 2010 and remains outstanding and in default. On October 7, 2011, a receiver was appointed for this property. However, we are still in discussions with the lender to restructure or payoff this loan at a discount. There is no assurance that we will be able to restructure or payoff this loan at a discount which could result in foreclosure or transfer of ownership of the property to the lender.
Our proportionate share of a non-recourse property loan secured by our St. Louis Place TIC investment property is approximately $6.5 million and matured in July 2011. Behringer Harvard TIC Management Services LP, the St. Louis Place property manager and asset manager, is in discussions with the lender to restructure this loan. There is no assurance that this loan will be restructured, which could result in foreclosure or transfer of ownership of the property to the lender.
Our loan agreements generally require us to comply with certain reporting and financial covenants. However, as of September 30, 2011, we were in default on a non-recourse property loan with an outstanding balance of approximately $42.5 million secured by our 17655 Waterview and Southwest Center properties (the “Western Office Portfolio”). We are currently marketing both of these properties for sale on behalf of the lender. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to sell these properties, which could result in foreclosure or transfer of ownership of the properties to the lender. As of September 30, 2011, we were also in default on a non-recourse property loan with an outstanding balance of approximately $82.0 million secured by our Resurgens Plaza property. On November 1, 2011, a receiver was appointed for this property. However, we are still in discussions with the lender to restructure or payoff this loan at a discount. There is no assurance that we will be able to restructure or payoff this loan at a discount, which could result in foreclosure or transfer of ownership of the property to the lender. At September 30, 2011, other than the defaults discussed above, we believe we were in compliance with each of the debt covenants under each of our other loan agreements. In addition, we believe two non-recourse loans, totaling approximately $100.1 million and secured by two properties, may have imminent defaults or events of default and need to be modified in the near future in order to justify further investment.
At September 30, 2011, our notes payable, excluding those notes that have already matured as detailed above, had maturity dates that range from November 2011 to August 2021. The notes payable with November 2011 maturity dates relate to non-recourse property loans of approximately $225.0 million, secured by our 10 & 120 South Riverside property, and a non-recourse unsecured $26.0 million bridge loan. Each of these loans was paid in full in October 2011 with proceeds from our new credit facility, which is described below. This $251.0 million due in the remainder of 2011 excludes approximately $124.5 million for the non-recourse loans secured by our Western Office Portfolio and Resurgens Plaza which are in default and have maturity dates after 2011, but we have received notification from the lenders demanding immediate payment. We have no debt scheduled to mature in 2012.
The following table summarizes our notes payable as of September 30, 2011 (in thousands):
Principal payments due in: | | | |
October - December 2011 | | $ | 289,379 | |
2012 | | 23,450 | |
2013 | | 230,441 | |
2014 | | 59,293 | |
2015 | | 583,620 | |
Thereafter | | 1,249,547 | |
unamortized discount | | (1,921 | ) |
Total | | $ | 2,433,809 | |
The table above reflects the loan secured by our Western Office Portfolio and Resurgens Plaza using the original maturity dates. If these loans were shown as payable as of October 1, 2011, the principal payments in 2011 would increase by

approximately $124.3 million, while principal payments in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and thereafter would decrease by approximately $1.6 million, $1.6 million, $1.7 million, $41.6 million and $77.8 million, respectively.
Credit Facility
On October 25, 2011, through our operating partnership, Behringer OP, we entered into a new secured credit agreement providing for borrowings of up to $340.0 million, available as a $200.0 million term loan and $140.0 million as a revolving line of credit (subject to increase by up to $110.0 million in the aggregate upon lender approval and payment of certain activation fees to the agent and lenders). The borrowings are supported by additional collateral owned by certain of our subsidiaries, each of which has guaranteed the new credit facility and granted a first mortgage or deed of trust on its real property as security for the new credit facility. The credit facility matures in October 2014 with two one-year renewal options available. The annual interest rate on the credit facility is equal to either, at our election, (1) the “base rate” (calculated as the greatest of (i) the agent’s “prime rate”; (ii) 0.5% above the Federal Funds Effective Rate; or (iii) LIBOR for an interest period of one month plus 1.0%) plus the applicable margin or (2) LIBOR plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for base rate loans is 2.0%; the applicable margin for LIBOR loans is 3.0%. At closing, we chose one-month LIBOR plus 300 basis points which equates to an annual interest rate of 3.24%. In connection with the new credit agreement, we entered into a three year swap agreement to effectively fix the annual interest rate at 3.79% on $150.0 million of the borrowings. At closing, the term loan was fully funded and we drew $57.0 million under the revolving line of credit. Proceeds from the credit facility were used to pay off the loans secured by our 10 & 120 South Riverside property and our unsecured bridge loan. Each of these loans was scheduled to mature in November 2011.
Troubled Debt Restructuring
In February 2010, we completed a discounted purchase, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, of the note totaling approximately $42.8 million associated with our 1650 Arch Street property, resulting in a gain on troubled debt restructuring of approximately $10.4 million, of which approximately $9.4 million was recognized in the first quarter of 2010 and $1.0 million was deferred until March 2011, when we acquired the outstanding 10% ownership in the 1650 Arch Street property held by our partner, an unaffiliated third party, for a cash payment of approximately $1.0 million.
In February 2010, pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, we transferred ownership of KeyBank Center to the lender associated with the property. This transaction was accounted for as a full settlement of debt and resulted in a gain on troubled debt restructuring of approximately $6.5 million which is included in income from discontinued operations.
In January 2011, pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, we transferred ownership of our Executive Park property to the lender associated with the property. This transaction was accounted for as a full settlement of debt and resulted in a gain on troubled debt restructuring of approximately $1.0 million which is included in income from discontinued operations.
In February 2011, pursuant to a foreclosure, we transferred ownership of our Grandview II property to the lender associated with the property. This transaction was accounted for as a full settlement of debt and resulted in a gain on troubled debt restructuring of approximately $1.0 million which is included in income from discontinued operations.
In August 2011, we sold our 1300 Main property, which was held in receivership at the date of sale. All proceeds were used to fully settle the related debt at a discount and resulted in a gain on troubled debt restructuring of approximately $1.6 million which is included in income from discontinued operations.
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the $1.4 million gain on troubled debt restructuring was approximately $0.00 per common share on both a basic and diluted income per share basis. We had no gain on troubled debt restructuring for the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the gain on troubled debt restructuring of approximately $4.6 million and $15.9 million, respectively, was approximately $0.02 and $0.05 per common share, respectively, on both a basic and diluted income per share basis. These totals include gains on troubled debt restructuring recorded in both continuing operations and discontinued operations.
11. Stockholders’ Equity
Capitalization
As of September 30, 2011, we had 296,764,257 shares of our common stock outstanding, which includes 271,352,628 shares issued through our primary offerings, 5,521,002 shares issued as a result of our 10% stock dividend in October 2005, 31,695,508 shares issued through distribution reinvestment, and 22,000 shares issued to Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC, offset by 11,826,881 shares repurchased. As of September 30, 2011, Behringer Harvard REIT I, Inc. had no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding and had options to purchase 104,500 shares of common stock outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $7.89 per share. At September 30, 2011, Behringer OP had 432,586 units of limited partnership interest held by third

parties. These units of limited partnership interest are convertible into an equal number of shares of our common stock. We sold 1,000 shares of our non-participating, non-voting convertible stock to Behringer Advisors for $1,000 on March 22, 2006. Pursuant to its terms, the convertible stock is convertible into shares of our common stock with a value equal to 15% of the amount by which (1) our enterprise value, including the total amount of distributions paid to our stockholders, exceeds (2) the sum of the aggregate capital invested by stockholders plus a 9% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on such capital. At the date of issuance of the shares of convertible stock, management determined the fair value under GAAP was less than the nominal value paid for the shares; therefore, the difference is not material.
Share Redemption Program
Our board of directors has authorized a share redemption program to provide limited interim liquidity to stockholders. In 2009, the board determined to suspend until further notice redemptions other than those submitted in respect of a stockholder’s death, disability or confinement to a long-term care facility (referred to herein as “exceptional redemptions”). In November 2010, the board set a funding limit of $4.25 million for exceptional redemptions considered in 2011 proportional to each redemption period, or $1,062,500 per period. In November 2011, the board set a funding limit of the lesser of $1.0 million or 220,000 shares for exceptional redemptions considered in 2012 proportional to each redemption period. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we redeemed 234,624 shares, which represents a pro rata portion of the 547 exceptional redemption requests received as of the July 31, 2011 redemption date. The price of the shares redeemed during the quarter was $4.55 per share. Requests to redeem a total of 1,546,966 shares of common stock for the period were received. Because the total shares requested for redemption exceeded the limit set by our board for the period, we fulfilled the requests pro rata, and accordingly requests to redeem approximately 1,312,342 shares were not fulfilled. If redemption requests exceed the budget for the applicable redemption period any excess shares are treated as a request for redemption in the following period and combined with all subsequent requests received, unless the requesting shareholder withdraws the redemption request. If the remaining unredeemed balance of a request falls below 200 shares, the remaining shares are redeemed in full. We have not kept a record of ordinary redemption requests received since the March 2009 suspension. Cash amounts paid to stockholders for redemption requests during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $3.2 million for redemption of approximately 706,000 shares and were funded from cash on hand. Cash amounts paid to stockholders for redemption requests during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were approximately $6.1 million for redemption of approximately 767,000 shares and were funded from cash on hand. Our board maintains its right to redeem additional shares, subject to the limits set forth in our share redemption program, if it deems it to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.
We will not redeem, during any twelve-month period, more than 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the date of redemption. Further, our board may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, limit the funds that we use to redeem shares; provided that in no event may the funds used for redemption during any period exceed the proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan (“DRP”) during the period consisting of the preceding four fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available, less any redemptions during the same period. Our board reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to (1) waive the one-year holding period applicable to requests for exceptional redemptions or other exigent circumstances such as bankruptcy, a mandatory distribution requirement under a stockholder’s IRA or with respect to shares purchased under or through our DRP, (2) reject any request for redemption, (3) change the purchase price for redemptions, (4) limit the funds to be used for redemptions or otherwise change the limitations on redemption or (5) amend, suspend (in whole or in part) or terminate the program.
Stock Plans
Our stockholders have approved and adopted the 2005 Incentive Award Plan, which allows for equity-based incentive awards to be granted to our independent directors and consultants and to employees and consultants of affiliates (as defined in the plan). The 2005 Incentive Award Plan replaced the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, the Non-Employee Director Warrant Plan and the 2002 Employee Stock Option Plan, each of which was terminated upon the approval of the 2005 Incentive Award Plan. Under our 2005 Incentive Award Plan, each non-employee director is automatically granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock on the date he first becomes a director and upon each reelection as a director. As of September 30, 2011, we had outstanding to the independent members of the board of directors options to purchase 104,500 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $7.89 per share. These options have a maximum term of ten years, except for the grants made in 2005, 2006 and 2007 under the 2005 Incentive Award Plan. Those options are exercisable and expire as follows: 25% during 2011, 25% during 2012 and 50% during 2013. For the grants made in 2008 and thereafter under the 2005 Incentive Award Plan, the options become exercisable one year after the date of grant. The options were anti-dilutive to earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Distributions
Effective since May 2010, the declared distribution rate has been equal to a monthly amount of $0.0083 per share of common stock, which is equivalent to an annual distribution rate of 1.0% based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share and 2.2% based on the December 31, 2010 estimated valuation of $4.55 per share. From April 2009 to April 2010, the declared distributions rate was equal to a monthly amount of $0.0271 per share of common stock, which is equivalent to an annual distribution rate of 3.25% assuming the share was purchased for $10.00.
Pursuant to our DRP, stockholders may elect to reinvest any cash distribution in additional shares of common stock. We record a liability for distributions when declared. The stock issued through the DRP is recorded to equity when the shares are issued. For both the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, distributions declared and recorded as a reduction to noncontrolling interests in connection with the Behringer OP limited partnership units were less than $0.1 million. Distributions declared and payable as of September 30, 2011 were approximately $2.5 million, which included approximately $1.4 million of cash distributions payable and approximately $1.1 million of DRP distributions payable.
The following are the distributions declared for both our common stock and the Behringer OP limited partnership units during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):
2011 | | Total | | Cash | | DRP | |

12. Related Party Arrangements
Our advisor and certain of its affiliates earn fees and compensation in connection with the acquisition, debt financing, management and sale of our assets.
Behringer Advisors, or its affiliates, receives acquisition and advisory fees of up to 2.5% of (1) the purchase price of real estate investments acquired directly by us, including any debt when acquired, or (2) when we make an investment indirectly through another entity, our pro rata share of the gross asset value of real estate investments held by that entity. Behringer Advisors or its affiliates also receives up to 0.5% of the contract purchase price of each asset purchased or the principal amount of each loan made by us for reimbursement of expenses related to making the investment. Behringer Advisors earned approximately $0.1 million in acquisition and advisory fees or reimbursement of expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and no acquisition and advisory fees or reimbursement of expenses were earned in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
We pay Behringer Advisors or its affiliates a debt financing fee equal to 1% of the amount of any debt made available to us. Behringer Advisors earned approximately $2.7 million of debt financing fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and no debt financing fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
HPT Management Services, LLC (“HPT Management”), our property manager and an affiliate of our advisor, receives fees for management, leasing and construction supervision of our properties, which may be subcontracted to unaffiliated third parties. The management fees are generally equal to approximately 3% of gross revenues of the respective property; leasing commissions are based upon the customary leasing commission applicable to the geographic location of the respective property; and construction supervision fees are generally equal to an amount not greater than 5% of all hard construction costs incurred in connection with capital improvements, major building reconstruction and tenant improvements. In the event that we contract directly with a non-affiliated third party property manager for management of a property, we pay HPT Management an oversight fee equal to 0.5% of gross revenues of the property managed. In no event will we pay both a property management fee and an oversight fee to HPT Management with respect to any particular property. We incurred and expensed fees of approximately $10.8 million and $12.6 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for the services provided by
19

(unaudited)
HPT Management in connection with our properties, including property management fees associated with our sold and held for sale properties which are classified in discontinued operations.
Depending on the nature of the asset, we pay Behringer Advisors an annual asset management fee of either (1) 0.6% of aggregate asset value for operating assets or (2) 0.6% of total contract purchase price plus budgeted improvement costs for development or redevelopment assets (each fee payable monthly in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 0.6% of such total amount as of the date it is determinable). For both of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred and expensed approximately $15.1 million of asset management fees, including asset management fees associated with our sold and held for sale properties which are classified in discontinued operations. Asset management fees of approximately $4.9 million were waived for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Asset management fees of approximately $6.8 million were waived for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Behringer Advisors requires us to reimburse it for costs and expenses paid or incurred to provide services to us, including the costs of goods, services or materials used by us and the salaries and benefits of persons employed by it and its affiliates and performing services for us; provided, however, no reimbursement is made for salaries and benefits to the extent the advisor receives a separate fee for the services provided. HPT Management also requires us to reimburse it for costs and expenses paid or incurred to provide services to us, including salaries and benefits of persons employed by it and its affiliates and engaged in the operation, management, maintenance and leasing of our properties. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred and expensed approximately $21.6 million and $23.5 million, respectively, for reimbursement of these costs and expenses to Behringer Advisors and HPT Management.
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had payables to related parties of approximately $1.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, consisting primarily of expense reimbursements payable to Behringer Advisors and property management fees payable to HPT Management.
Behringer Advisors or its affiliates will be paid disposition fees if the advisor or its affiliates provide a substantial amount of services, as determined by our independent directors, in connection with the sale of one or more properties. In such event, we will pay the advisor, or its affiliates, an amount equal to the lesser of (subject to the limitation set forth below): (a) one-half of the brokerage commission paid, or (b) 3% of the sales price of each property sold. This fee will not be earned or paid unless and until our stockholders have received total distributions (excluding the 10% stock dividend) in an amount equal to or greater than the sum of the aggregate capital contributed by stockholders plus a 9% annual, cumulative, non-compounded return thereon. Subordinated disposition fees that are not earned and payable at the date of sale are reflected as a contingent liability which will be earned and paid when the above condition has been satisfied, if ever. Based on sales of properties through September 30, 2011, if all the conditions above were met, Behringer Advisors would be paid approximately $2.8 million in disposition fees.
We are dependent on Behringer Advisors and HPT Management for certain services that are essential to us, including asset acquisition and disposition decisions, property management and leasing services and other general administrative responsibilities. In the event that these companies were unable to provide us with the respective services, we would be required to obtain such services from other sources.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
As of September 30, 2011, we had commitments of approximately $62.8 million for future tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
Behringer Advisors or its affiliates will be paid disposition fees if the advisor or its affiliates provides a substantial amount of services, as determined by our independent directors, in connection with the sale of one or more properties. Based on sales of properties through September 30, 2011, if all conditions were met, Behringer Advisors would be paid approximately $2.8 million in disposition fees. For a description of the conditions for payment, see Footnote 12 above.

16. Subsequent Events
On October 25, 2011, through our operating partnership, Behringer OP, we entered into a new secured credit agreement providing for borrowings of up to $340.0 million, available as a $200.0 million term loan and $140.0 million as a revolving line of credit (subject to increase by up to $110.0 million in the aggregate upon lender approval and payment of certain activation fees to the agent and lenders). The borrowings are supported by additional collateral owned by certain of our subsidiaries, each of which has guaranteed the new credit facility and granted a first mortgage or deed of trust on its real property as security for the new credit facility. The credit facility matures in October 2014 with two one-year renewal options available. The annual interest rate on the credit facility is equal to either at our election, (1) the “base rate” (calculated as the greatest of (i) the agent’s “prime rate”; (ii) 0.5% above the Federal Funds Effective Rate; or (iii) LIBOR for an interest period of one month plus 1.0%) plus the applicable margin or (2) LIBOR plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for base rate loans is 2.0%; the applicable margin for LIBOR loans is 3.0%. At closing, we chose one-month LIBOR plus 300 basis points which equates to an annual interest rate of 3.24%. In connection with the new credit agreement, we entered into a three year swap agreement to effectively fix the annual interest rate at 3.79% on $150.0 million of the borrowings. At closing, the term loan was fully funded and we drew $57.0 million under the revolving line of credit. Proceeds from the credit facility were used to pay off the loans secured by our 10 & 120 South Riverside property and our unsecured bridge loan. Each of these loans was scheduled to mature in November 2011.
On November 8, 2011, we entered into a letter agreement with Behringer Advisors, in which our advisor set our obligation to pay asset management fees for services rendered under the Fifth Amended and Restated Advisory Management Agreement, dated December 29, 2006, as amended, at $5.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. In doing so, our advisor waived our obligation to pay approximately $1.3 million in additional asset management fees that would otherwise become due and payable during the fourth quarter of 2011 (based on assets held as of October 1, 2011).

Cautionary Note
The representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement filed as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as of specific dates and solely for the benefit of the parties to the agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to the agreement, and should not be deemed to be representations, warranties or covenants to or with any other parties. Moreover, these representations, warranties or covenants should not be relied upon as accurately describing or reflecting the current state of our affairs.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates, including investment impairment. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that we consider to be critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts, the accounts of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we are the primary beneficiary, if any, and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which we have control. All inter-company transactions, balances and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. Interests in entities acquired are evaluated based on applicable GAAP which requires the consolidation of VIEs in which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. If the interest is in an entity that is determined not to be a VIE, then the entity is evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which we have control and/or substantive participating rights under the respective ownership agreement.
There are judgments and estimates involved in determining if an entity in which we have made an investment is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. The entity is evaluated to determine if it is a VIE by, among other things, calculating the percentage of equity being risked compared to the total assets of the entity. The determination is also based on an evaluation of the voting and other rights of owners and other parties to determine if the equity interests possess minimum governance powers. The evaluation also considers the relation of these rights to their economic participation in benefits or obligation to absorb losses. A VIE must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary that has: (i) the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, (ii) an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as designed, and (iii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. We assess our interests in those entities on an ongoing basis to determine whether such entities should be consolidated. In evaluating if an entity is a VIE, our analysis involves considerable management judgment, assumptions and estimates. A change in these judgments, assumptions, and estimates could result in consolidating an entity that should not be consolidated or accounting for an investment using the equity method that should in fact be consolidated, the effects of which could be material to our financial statements.
Real Estate
Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, we recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date, measured at their fair values. The acquisition date is the date on which we obtain control of the real estate property. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed may consist of land, inclusive of associated rights, buildings, assumed debt, identified intangible assets and liabilities and asset retirement obligations. Identified intangible assets generally consist of the above-market leases, in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements, in-place leasing commissions and tenant relationships. Identified intangible liabilities generally consist of below-market leases. Goodwill is recognized as of the acquisition date and measured as the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Likewise, a bargain purchase gain is recognized in current earnings when the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period incurred.
Initial valuations are subject to change until our information is finalized, which is no later than twelve months from the acquisition date.
The fair value of the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land and buildings, is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and buildings. Land values are derived from appraisals, and building values are calculated as replacement cost less depreciation or management’s estimates of the fair value of these assets
24
Table of Contents
using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods believed to be used by market participants. The value of buildings is depreciated over the estimated useful life of 25 years using the straight-line method.
We determine the fair value of assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled mortgage payments using interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities that management believes we could obtain at the date of the debt assumption. Any difference between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt is recorded as a discount or premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan using the effective interest method.
We determine the value of above-market and below-market leases for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (2) management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to (a) the remaining non-cancelable lease term for above-market leases, or (b) the remaining non-cancelable lease term plus any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. We record the fair value of above-market and below-market leases as intangible assets or intangible liabilities, respectively, and amortize them as an adjustment to rental income over the determined lease term.
The total value of identified real estate intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements, in-place leasing commissions and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant. The aggregate value for tenant improvements and leasing commissions is based on estimates of these costs incurred at inception of the acquired leases, amortized through the date of acquisition. The aggregate value of in-place leases acquired and tenant relationships is determined by applying a fair value model. The estimates of fair value of in-place leases include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods for the respective spaces considering current market conditions. In estimating the carrying costs that would have otherwise been incurred had the leases not been in place, we include such items as real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses as well as lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up period based on current market conditions. The estimates of the fair value of tenant relationships also include costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal fees and tenant improvements as well as an estimate of the likelihood of renewal as determined by management on a tenant-by-tenant basis.
We amortize the value of in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements and in-place leasing commissions to expense over the initial term of the respective leases. The tenant relationship values are amortized to expense over the initial term and any anticipated renewal periods, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the acquired intangibles related to that tenant would be charged to expense.
In allocating the purchase price of each of our properties, management makes assumptions and uses various estimates, including, but not limited to, the estimated useful lives of the assets, the cost of replacing certain assets, discount rates used to determine present values, market rental rates per square foot and the period required to lease the property up to its occupancy at acquisition if it were vacant. Many of these estimates are obtained from independent third party appraisals. However, management is responsible for the source and use of these estimates. A change in these estimates and assumptions could result in the various categories of our real estate assets and/or related intangibles being overstated or understated which could result in an overstatement or understatement of depreciation and/or amortization expense and/or rental revenue. These variances could be material to our financial statements.
Impairment of Real Estate Related Assets
For our consolidated real estate assets, we monitor events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset including its eventual disposition, to the carrying amount of the asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value.
For our unconsolidated real estate assets, including those we own through an investment in a joint venture, tenant-in-common (“TIC”) interest or other similar investment structure, at each reporting date we compare the estimated fair value of our investment to the carrying amount. An impairment charge is recorded to the extent the fair value of our investment is less than the carrying amount and the decline in value is determined to be other than a temporary decline.
In evaluating our investments for impairment, management makes several estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition and sales price for each property, the estimated future cash flows of each property during our ownership period, and for unconsolidated investments, the estimated future distributions from the investment. A change in these estimates and assumptions could result in understating or overstating the carrying amount of our investments which could be material to our financial statements.
25
Table of Contents
We undergo continuous evaluations of property level performance, credit market conditions and financing options. If our assumptions regarding the cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of our properties decrease or our expected hold periods decrease, we may incur future impairment charges on our real estate related assets. In addition, we may incur impairment charges on assets classified as held for sale in the future if the carrying amount of the asset upon classification as held for sale exceeds the estimated fair value, less costs to sell.
Overview
We are externally managed and advised by Behringer Advisors, LLC (“Behringer Advisors”). Behringer Advisors is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for identifying and making acquisitions and dispositions of investments on our behalf. Substantially all of our business is conducted through our operating partnership, Behringer Harvard Operating Partnership I LP (“Behringer OP”). At September 30, 2011 we owned interests in 58 properties with approximately 22.4 million rentable square feet, including our Southwest Center property which was classified as held for sale at September 30, 2011.
Adverse economic conditions continue to impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. As an owner of real estate, the majority of our income and cash flow is derived from rental revenue received pursuant to tenant leases for space at our properties. Our earnings are negatively impacted by a deterioration of our rental revenue, which has occurred as a result of: (1) a decrease in rental rates for new leases which have been less than the rates for in-place leases; (2) the amount of tenant concessions we have been required to provide; and (3) a decline in our overall portfolio occupancy since late 2008. As a result of the deterioration of our rental revenue, we continue to focus on managing cash, strategically selling assets, and sourcing and closing on other property and company level capital.
Cash Conservation. At September 30, 2011, we had cash and restricted cash of approximately $35.1 million and $96.6 million, respectively. We anticipate using our existing cash and restricted cash to fund leasing and other property operating costs. Restricted cash includes restricted money market accounts, as required by our lenders, for anticipated tenant improvements, leasing commissions, property taxes and property insurance. Given the approximate $62.8 million of commitments we have for future tenant improvements and leasing commissions as of September 30, 2011, we expect our cash and restricted cash to decline in future quarters, excluding cash increases due to strategic asset sales and draws under our new credit facility. In order to conserve cash, we have reduced distributions, limited share redemptions, re-bid vendor contracts, continued to protest our real estate taxes on an annual basis, and structured leases to conserve capital. We have also benefited from a waiver of asset management fees owed to Behringer Advisors.
Strategic Asset Sales. We believe it makes economic sense to sell properties in today’s market in certain instances, such as when we believe the value of the leases in place at a property will significantly decline over the remaining lease term, when a property has limited or no equity with a near-term debt maturity, when a property has equity but the projected returns do not justify further investment or when we believe the equity in a property can be redeployed in the portfolio in order to achieve better returns or strategic goals. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources — General” for a more detailed discussion of our strategic asset sales.
Property and Company Level Capital Sources. We believe that the optimal value for most of our properties will be achieved by holding them until market conditions improve. Rather than selling these assets before market conditions improve, we are exploring opportunities to raise both property level and company level capital. For example, in June 2011, we completed a joint venture arrangement with a third party for our 200 South Wacker property and in October 2011, we obtained a new $340.0 million credit facility.
As a result of cash conservation, strategic asset sales and sourcing property and company level capital, we believe we will have the resources available to actively lease space in our portfolio in order to increase occupancy, refinance near-term debt maturities, restructure certain debt, and pursue other strategic opportunities. There is, however, no assurance that we will able to realize any capital from these strategic asset sales and property and company level capital initiatives.
Leasing. We continue to experience an increased level of concessions required to acquire a new tenant, including free rent, tenant improvement allowances, lower rental rates, or other financial incentives. Also, a number of current tenants are leveraging the current economic environment to negotiate lease renewals or extensions with similar increased concessions. If these trends continue, we expect the decline in our property net operating income to continue.
During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we had approximately 0.9 million square feet of leases that expired. We executed renewals, expansions and new leases totaling approximately 1.2 million square feet with an average net rent that was approximately $2.33 per square foot per year, or 13%, lower than expiring rent. Renewals were approximately 603,000 square feet with leasing costs of approximately $24.99 per square foot with an average term of approximately 8.5 years. Expansions were approximately 76,000 square feet with leasing costs of approximately $22.20 per square foot with an average term of approximately 5.2 years. New leases totaled approximately 551,000 square feet with leasing costs of approximately $42.50 per
26
Table of Contents
square foot with an average term of approximately 6.1 years. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, our lease renewals represented 61% of expiring leases and 67% of expiring square feet.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had approximately 2.9 million square feet of leases that expired. We executed renewals, expansions and new leases totaling approximately 3.0 million square feet with an average net rent that was approximately $1.47 per square foot per year, or 9%, lower than expiring rent. Renewals were approximately 2.0 million square feet with leasing costs of approximately $24.10 per square foot with an average term of approximately 7.6 years. Expansions were approximately 234,000 square feet with leasing costs of approximately $25.88 per square foot with an average term of approximately 6.4 years. New leases totaled approximately 798,000 square feet with leasing costs of approximately $36.27 per square foot with an average term of approximately 5.7 years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our lease renewals represented 67% of expiring leases and 69% of expiring square feet.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we had approximately 3.4 million square feet of expiring leases. We executed renewals, expansions and new leases totaling approximately 3.2 million square feet with an average net rent that was approximately $0.76 per square foot per year, or 5%, lower than expiring rent.
The weighted average leasing cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $27.48 per square foot per year as compared to approximately $21.30 per square foot per year for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The average lease term for renewals, expansions and new leases executed in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately 7.0 years as compared to approximately 6.3 years for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Our portfolio occupancy was 85% at September 30, 2011 as compared to 86% at September 30, 2010. We have approximately 0.7 million square feet of scheduled lease expirations in the remainder of 2011.
Refinance and Restructure Debt. Substantially all of our assets are currently subject to mortgages, generally for property level non-recourse debt incurred in connection with their acquisition or which were in place upon acquisition. In general, in the current market, lenders have increased the amount of equity required to support either new or refinancing of existing borrowings. In addition, capitalization rates (or cap rates) for office properties have generally increased since the initial acquisition of our properties. Cap rates and property prices move inversely so that an increase in cap rates should, without an increase in property net operating income, result in a decrease in property value. Although positive for new property acquisitions, the overall impact has been negative for us because we believe many of our properties may be viewed as less valuable today than at acquisition, thus requiring us to use more cash on hand to refinance or borrow new monies.
As of September 30, 2011, we have approximately $33.8 million of debt that has matured and remains outstanding. Specifically, we have a non-recourse property loan of approximately $27.3 million, secured by our Minnesota Center property, that matured in November 2010 and remains outstanding and in default. On October 7, 2011, a receiver was appointed for this property. However, we are still in discussions with the lender to restructure or payoff this loan at a discount. There is no assurance that we will be able to restructure or payoff this loan at a discount which could result in foreclosure or transfer of ownership of the property to the lender. Our proportionate share of a non-recourse property loan secured by our St. Louis Place TIC investment property is approximately $6.5 million and matured in July 2011. Behringer Harvard TIC Management Services LP, the St. Louis Place property manager and asset manager, is in discussions with the lender to restructure this loan. There is no assurance that this loan will be restructured, which could result in foreclosure or transfer of ownership of the property to the lender.
In July 2011 we replaced approximately $188.6 million of borrowings secured by our One Financial Place property, scheduled to mature in August 2011, with approximately $160.0 million of borrowings with an August 2013 maturity date. The remaining balance of approximately $28.6 million was paid with cash on hand. In July 2011, we also paid in full the approximate $119.1 million in outstanding borrowings under our previous credit facility that was scheduled to mature in December 2011 and entered into borrowings of approximately $100.0 million, secured by our One BriarLake Plaza property, that mature in August 2021. We also entered into a $26.0 million 120-day bridge loan in July 2011.
As of September 30, 2011, excluding those notes that have already matured as detailed above, we had approximately $251.0 million, or 10% of our outstanding debt maturing during 2011. All of this debt was subsequently paid in full in October 2011, with proceeds from our new credit facility.
The reduction in our property net operating income, as well as the increased costs of retaining and attracting new tenants, coupled with increases in vacancy rates and cap rates, has caused us to reconsider our long-term strategy for certain of our properties, especially a limited number of properties where we believe the principal balance of the debt encumbering the property exceeds the value of the asset under current market conditions. In those cases where our advisor believes the value of a property is not likely to recover, our advisor and board of directors have decided to redeploy our capital to what they believe are more
27

effective uses by reducing the amount of monies we fund as capital expenditures and leasing costs or having us cease making debt service payments on certain property level non-recourse debt, resulting in defaults or events of default under the related loan agreements. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Notes Payable.” We are in active negotiations with certain lenders to refinance or restructure debt in a manner that achieves what we believe is the best outcome for the Company and its stockholders and expect that some loans will be resolved through a discounted purchase or payoff of the debt or a write-down or subordination of a portion of the debt by the lender and, in certain situations, other loans will be resolved by negotiating agreements conveying the properties to the lender.
Other Strategic Opportunities. Although our primary purposes for conserving cash, strategically selling certain assets and identifying other property and company level capital sources are to have the necessary capital resources available for leasing space in our portfolio, we may also be able to use those resources to capitalize on certain other strategic investment opportunities, such as an acquisition or development of a property that may be uniquely attractive and accretive.
If market conditions improve or stabilize, and we are successful with our efforts to increase occupancy along with effective rental rates, refinance or restructure our debt, and pursue strategic opportunities, we believe we can achieve three important objectives for our stockholders: (1) increase our estimated value per share; (2) increase distributable cash flow; and (3) provide liquidity to our stockholders. Currently, our management is reviewing various alternatives that may create liquidity for our stockholders. In the event we do not obtain listing of our common stock on or before February 2017, unless a majority of the board of directors extends such date, our charter requires us to liquidate our assets.
Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010
Continuing Operations
Rental Revenue. Rental revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $117.2 million as compared to approximately $125.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and was generated by our consolidated real estate properties. The $7.8 million decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in tenant rental income of approximately $7.0 million, primarily related to free rent, reduced rental rates and lower occupancy as compared to the prior year, a decrease of approximately $4.4 million related to the 2011 deconsolidation of 200 South Wacker and approximately $0.5 million in lower other income. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in straight-line rent adjustments of approximately $4.1 million.
Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $36.7 million as compared to approximately $34.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and were comprised of property operating expenses from our consolidated real estate properties. The $2.2 million increase was primarily attributable to an increase in bad debt expense of approximately $2.8 million and other expenses of approximately $0.7 million, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $1.3 million related to the 2011 deconsolidation of 200 South Wacker.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $36.7 million as compared to approximately $39.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and was comprised of interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees and interest rate mark-to-market adjustments related to our notes payable associated with our consolidated real estate properties, TIC interest investments, our credit facility and our interest rate swap agreements. The $2.8 million decrease from prior year was primarily a result of overall decreased borrowings resulting in a decrease in interest incurred of approximately $2.1 million and a decrease of approximately $1.6 million due to the deconsolidation of debt secured by 200 South Wacker, partially offset by a decrease in interest capitalized of approximately $0.9 million.
Real Estate Taxes. Real estate taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $17.5 million as compared to approximately $18.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and were comprised of real estate taxes from our consolidated real estate properties. The $0.6 million decrease was comprised of a decrease of approximately $1.2 million related to the deconsolidation of 200 South Wacker offset by more refunds received in the prior year period as compared to the same period in the current year.
Property Management Fees. Property management fees for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $3.4 million as compared to approximately $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and were comprised of property management fees related to both our consolidated and unconsolidated real estate properties. The decrease is primarily due to lower property revenue and the deconsolidation of 200 South Wacker.
Asset Management Fees. Asset management fees for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $4.8 million as compared to approximately $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and were comprised of asset management fees associated with both our consolidated and unconsolidated real estate assets. The $0.2 million increase from the prior year was primarily attributable to an increase in the amount of asset management fees reflected in discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2011. Our advisor waived approximately $1.4 million in asset
28
Table of Contents
management fees in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to approximately $2.2 million waived in the three months ended September 30, 2010. Our advisor determines the amount of any fees waived at its sole discretion, and we can provide no assurance that our advisor will waive additional asset management fees in future periods.
Asset Impairment Losses. Asset impairment losses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $79.6 million as compared to losses of approximately $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The impairment losses in both years primarily relate to changes in expected holding periods of certain of our real estate properties primarily due to anticipated property dispositions.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $2.5 million as compared to approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and were comprised of corporate general and administrative expenses including directors’ and officers’ insurance premiums, audit and tax fees, legal fees, other administrative expenses and reimbursement of certain expenses of our advisor. The $0.5 million increase is primarily due to increased business and franchise tax expense.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $51.8 million as compared to approximately $54.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and was comprised of depreciation and amortization expense from each of our consolidated real estate properties. The $2.6 million decrease primarily resulted from decreased depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $1.5 million in 2011 due to the deconsolidation of 200 South Wacker and other decreases of approximately $1.1 million primarily due to decreased amortization of lease intangibles due to an increase in the number of acquired lease intangibles that have been fully amortized.
Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $0.2 million as compared to approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease of approximately $0.2 million was primarily due to lower cash balances.
Provision for Income Taxes. We had a provision for income taxes of approximately $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to a provision of approximately $1.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The $1.6 million change primarily relates to the addition of valuation allowances for certain state and local deferred tax assets in the prior year.
Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Investments. Equity in earnings (losses) of investments for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was a loss of approximately $2.8 million as compared to earnings of approximately $0.3 million for three months ended September 30, 2010 and was comprised of our share of equity in the earnings of unconsolidated investments. The $3.1 million change is primarily related to an impairment loss recorded at St. Louis Place, our TIC investment property, in the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Net Loss attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was approximately $0.2 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2011 and the three months ended September 30, 2010 and represents the net income or loss attributable to third parties who either have interests in certain of our consolidated properties or own limited partnership units issued by Behringer OP.
Discontinued Operations
Loss from Discontinued Operations. Loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $1.8 million as compared to approximately $38.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we disposed of eight properties and one property was held for sale as of September 30, 2011, and we disposed of seven properties during the year ended December 31, 2010. Our results of operations for each of these properties are classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented. The $36.7 million change is primarily due to approximately $32.2 million in lower asset impairment losses in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.
Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operations. Gain on sale of discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $15.3 million and primarily relates to the sales of our Downtown Plaza, 1300 Main, Gateway 12 and Gateway 23 properties. Gain on sale of discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $2.8 million and primarily relates to the sale of our Gateway 22 property.
Nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010
Continuing Operations
Rental Revenue. Rental revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $366.4 million as compared to approximately $378.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and was generated by our consolidated real estate properties. The $12.1 million decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in tenant rental income of approximately $17.8 million, primarily related to free rent, reduced rental rates and lower occupancy as compared to the prior year, a decrease of
29
Table of Contents
approximately $6.7 million related to the 2011 deconsolidation of 200 South Wacker, decreased tenant recovery income of approximately $5.0 million, and decreases in other income of approximately $1.9 million. These decreases were partially offset by a favorable increase in net above- and below-market lease adjustments of approximately $6.9 million, an increase in straight-line rent adjustments of approximately $8.5 million and an increase in lease termination fee income of approximately $3.9 million.
Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $109.9 million as compared to approximately $110.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and were comprised of property operating expenses from our consolidated real estate properties. The $0.7 million decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $1.6 million related to the 2011 deconsolidation of 200 South Wacker, approximately $0.8 million of decreased utility costs, and $0.7 million of decreased insurance costs, partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense of approximately $1.3 million and increased other expenses of approximately $1.1 million.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $112.7 million as compared to approximately $117.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and was comprised of interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees and interest rate mark-to-market adjustments related to our notes payable associated with our consolidated real estate properties, TIC interest investments, our credit facility and our interest rate swap agreements. The $4.5 million decrease from prior year was primarily a result of overall decreased borrowings resulting in a decrease of approximately $6.0 million and a decrease of approximately $1.1 million due to the deconsolidation of 200 South Wacker, partially offset by a decrease in interest capitalized of approximately $2.6 million.
Real Estate Taxes. Real estate taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $51.0 million as compared to approximately $55.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and were comprised of real estate taxes from our consolidated real estate properties. The $4.2 million decrease was comprised of lower overall property tax expense due to lower real estate tax estimates as compared to prior year, resulting from lower property assessments across the portfolio and a decrease of approximately $3.0 million related to the deconsolidation of 200 South Wacker.
Property Management Fees. Property management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $10.5 million as compared to approximately $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and were comprised of property management fees related to both our consolidated and unconsolidated real estate properties. The $0.9 million decrease is comprised of a decrease of approximately $0.7 million primarily due to lower property revenue and a decrease of approximately $0.2 million due to the deconsolidation of 200 South Wacker.
Asset Management Fees. Asset management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $14.6 million as compared to approximately $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and were comprised of asset management fees associated with both our consolidated and unconsolidated real estate assets. The $1.1 million increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of properties in discontinued operations in the prior year as compared to the same period in 2011. Our advisor waived approximately $4.9 million in asset management fees in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to approximately $6.8 million waived in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Our advisor determines the amount of any fees waived at its sole discretion, and we can provide no assurance that our advisor will waive additional asset management fees in future periods.
Asset Impairment Losses. Asset impairment losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $86.2 million as compared to approximately $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The impairment losses in the current year period primarily relate to changes in expected holding periods of certain of our real estate properties primarily due to anticipated property dispositions. The impairment losses in the prior year period relate to changes in expected holding periods of certain of our real estate properties primarily due to anticipated property dispositions and a change in the estimated fair value of investments in unconsolidated entities.
Goodwill Impairment Losses. Our goodwill was fully impaired in 2010, and we had no goodwill impairment losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Goodwill impairment losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were approximately $11.5 million. In connection with the May 17, 2010 estimation of value of our outstanding common stock, we evaluated our goodwill for impairment between annual tests and determined that the implied fair value of goodwill was equal to zero and approximately $11.5 million was recorded as impairment loss.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $8.0 million as compared to approximately $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of approximately $0.2 million, and were comprised of corporate general and administrative expenses including directors’ and officers’ insurance premiums, audit and tax fees, legal fees, other administrative expenses and reimbursement of certain expenses of our advisor.

Cash Flow Analysis
Nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2010
Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to approximately $42.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The change in cash flows provided by operating activities of approximately $36.1 million is attributable to (1) the factors discussed in our analysis of results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to September 30, 2010, including approximately $11.5 million less earnings from the net of the results of our consolidated real estate property operations, interest expense, asset management fees and general and administrative expenses; (2) increases in cash paid for lease commissions and other lease intangibles of approximately $6.1 million; and (3) the timing of receipt of revenues and payment of expenses which resulted in approximately $18.5 million more in net cash outflows from working capital assets and liabilities in 2011 compared to 2010.
Cash flows provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $149.9 million and were primarily comprised of proceeds from the sale of properties of approximately $184.3 million, proceeds from notes receivable of approximately $10.4 million, and proceeds from the change in restricted cash of approximately $2.6 million. These proceeds were partially offset by monies used to fund capital expenditures for existing real estate of approximately $42.9 million and purchases of real estate and investments in unconsolidated entities of approximately $5.1 million. During the nine
31
Table of Contents
months ended September 30, 2010, cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $4.4 million and were primarily comprised of monies used to fund capital expenditures for existing real estate of approximately $31.8 million and capital expenditures for real estate development of approximately $5.7 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of properties of approximately $19.2 million and approximately $12.6 million in proceeds from the change in restricted cash.
Cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $260.1 million and were comprised primarily of payments on notes payable of approximately $524.4 million, distributions to our stockholders of approximately $12.2 million, payment of deferred financing costs of approximately $6.2 million, and redemptions of common stock of approximately $3.2 million, partially offset by proceeds from notes payable of $286.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $89.1 million and were comprised primarily of payments on notes payable of approximately $54.4 million, distributions to our stockholders of approximately $26.4 million, redemptions of common stock of approximately $6.1 million and distributions to noncontrolling interests of approximately $2.2 million.
For a detailed discussion of our liquidity strategy and how we funded distributions, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”)
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate and intangibles diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We use FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains (or losses) from sales of property (including deemed sales and settlements of pre-existing relationships), plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after related adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and subsidiaries and noncontrolling interests. We believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, is helpful to our stockholders and our management in understanding our operating performance because it excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared year to year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which are not immediately apparent from net income. Factors that impact FFO include fixed costs, lower yields on cash held in accounts, income from portfolio properties and other portfolio assets, interest rates on debt financing and operating expenses.
Since FFO was promulgated, several new accounting pronouncements have been issued, such that management, industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of FFO alone to be insufficient. Accordingly, in addition to FFO, we use MFFO, as defined by the Investment Program Association (“IPA”). MFFO excludes from FFO the following items:
(1) acquisition fees and expenses;
(2) straight line rent amounts, both income and expense;
(3) amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities;
(4) amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments;
(5) impairment charges on real estate related assets (including properties, loans receivable, and equity and debt investments);
(6) gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt;
(7) gains or losses on the extinguishment or sales of hedges, foreign exchange, securities and other derivative holdings except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of our operations;
(8) gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for interest rate swaps and other derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting, foreign exchange holdings and other securities;
(9) gains or losses related to consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting;
(10) gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments; and
(11) adjustments related to the above items for unconsolidated entities in the application of equity accounting.
We believe that MFFO is a helpful measure of operating performance because it excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities or non-operating valuation and other items outlined above. Accordingly, we believe that MFFO can be a useful metric to assist management, stockholders and analysts in assessing the sustainability of operating performance.
As explained below, management’s evaluation of our operating performance excludes the items considered in the calculation based on the following economic considerations:
32
Table of Contents
· Acquisition fees and expenses. 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 analyses differentiate costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Prior to 2009, acquisition costs for both business combinations and equity investments were capitalized; however, beginning in 2009, acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed. We believe by excluding expensed acquisition costs, MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for our real estate investments and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition expenses include those paid to our advisor or third parties.
· Adjustments for straight line rents and amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments. In the application of GAAP, rental receipts and discounts and premiums on debt investments are allocated to periods using various systematic methodologies. This application will result in income recognition that could be significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.
· Adjustments for amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets. Similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangibles diminishes predictably over time and that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since real estate values and market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economics of our real estate assets.
· Impairment charges and gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting. Each of these items relates to a fair value adjustment, which, in part, is based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, which may not be directly attributable to our current operating performance. As these gains or losses relate to underlying long-term assets and liabilities where we are not speculating or trading assets, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in our core operating fundamentals rather than changes that may reflect anticipated gains or losses. In particular, because GAAP impairment charges are not allowed to be reversed if the underlying fair values improve or because the timing of impairment charges may lag the onset of certain operating consequences, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information related to current consequences, benefits and sustainability related to rental rates, occupancy and other core operating fundamentals.
· Adjustment for gains or losses related to early extinguishment of hedges, debt, consolidation or deconsolidation and contingent purchase price. Similar to extraordinary items excluded from FFO, these adjustments are not related to our continuing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods and to other real estate operators.
By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists stockholders in better aligning their analysis with management’s analysis of long-term core operating activities. Many of these adjustments are similar to adjustments required by SEC rules for the presentation of pro forma business combination disclosures, particularly acquisition expenses, gains or losses recognized in business combinations and other activity not representative of future activities.
MFFO also provides useful information in analyzing comparability between reporting periods that also assists stockholders and analysts in assessing the sustainability of our operating performance. MFFO is primarily affected by the same factors as FFO, but without non-operating changes, particularly valuation changes; therefore, we believe fluctuations in MFFO are more indicative of changes and potential changes in operating activities. MFFO is also more comparable in evaluating our performance over time. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the real estate industry and is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that do not have a similar level of involvement in acquisition activities or are not similarly affected by impairments and other non-operating charges.
FFO or MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), or as indications of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Both FFO and MFFO are non-GAAP measurements and should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements. Our FFO and MFFO as

presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs that do not define these terms in accordance with the current NAREIT or IPA definitions or that interpret the definitions differently.

Effective January 1, 2011, we modified our definition of MFFO to be consistent with the definition established by the IPA. Prior to this modification, our primary adjustments to FFO included acquisition expenses, impairment charges and fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting. All periods presented have been modified to reflect this change.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our business requires continued access to adequate capital to fund our liquidity needs. Our principal demands for funds on a short-term and long-term basis have been and will continue to be to fund operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, payment of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness, refinancing or restructuring our outstanding indebtedness, capital improvements to our properties, including commitments for future tenant improvements, asset management fees and payment of distributions. Our foremost priorities for the near term are preserving and generating cash sufficient to fund our liquidity needs. Given the uncertainty in the economy, as well as property specific issues, such as vacancies and lease terminations, management believes that access to any additional outside source of cash other than our new credit facility will be challenging and is planning accordingly.
Current Liquidity
As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $35.1 million. We have deposits in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. We have diversified our cash and cash equivalents with numerous banking
34
Table of Contents
institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these institutions. We regularly monitor the financial stability of these financial institutions, and we believe that we have placed our deposits with creditworthy financial institutions.
At current operating levels, we anticipate that revenue from our properties, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and access to funds under our new credit facility will continue to provide adequate capital to fund our short-term liquidity requirements. Based on our assessment, we anticipate our short-term liquidity requirements to be approximately $521.1 million over the next twelve months, of which we expect approximately $397.0 million to be provided by revenue from our properties. We will also need to generate additional funds for long-term liquidity requirements.
Liquidity Strategies
Our expected actual and potential liquidity sources are, among others: cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash; revenue from our properties; proceeds from asset dispositions; proceeds received from contributing existing assets to joint ventures; proceeds from additional secured or unsecured debt financings and refinancings; and proceeds from public or private issuances of debt or equity securities.
One of our liquidity strategies is to dispose of certain properties, which we expect will help us (1) generate cash through the disposition of identified properties in non-core markets or non-strategic properties that we believe have equity value above the mortgage debt and (2) preserve cash through the disposition of properties with negative cash flow or other potential near-term cash outlay requirements (including debt maturities). In 2011, we have sold six properties and disposed of two additional properties pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and a foreclosure. We intend to sell at least two other properties in the near future, but in the current economic environment, it is difficult to predict whether these sales will be completed. There can be no assurance that future dispositions will occur, or, if they occur, that they will help us to achieve these objectives.
In addition, we may seek to raise capital by contributing one or more of our existing assets to a joint venture with a third party. For example, we completed a joint venture arrangement with a third party for our 200 South Wacker property in June 2011. Investments in joint ventures may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present when a third party is not involved. Our ability to successfully identify, negotiate and complete joint venture transactions on acceptable terms or at all is highly uncertain in the current economic environment.
Part of our overall strategy includes actively addressing our debt maturities. On October 25, 2011, we completed a new $340.0 million credit facility, the proceeds of which were used to pay in full the outstanding debt balances of our $225.0 million in loans secured by our 10 & 120 South Riverside property and our $26.0 million unsecured bridge loan. As of December 31, 2010, our 2011 debt maturities totaled approximately $691.4 million, which excludes approximately $32.9 million of debt that matured in 2010, but remained outstanding at December 31, 2010. Of these amounts, only the approximately $27.3 million secured by our Minnesota Center property and the approximately $6.5 million secured by our TIC investment in our St. Louis Place property remain outstanding. We have no debt maturing in 2012.
We are exploring opportunities and working with various entities to generate both property level and company level capital. There is, however, no assurance that we will be able to realize any capital from these initiatives.
Notes Payable
Our notes payable was approximately $2.4 billion in principal amount at September 30, 2011, which consists of approximately $2.4 billion of loans secured by mortgages on our properties and a $26.0 million unsecured bridge loan. Our notes payable was approximately $2.7 billion at December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, all of our debt is fixed rate debt, with the exception of $186.0 million in debt which bears interest at a variable rate.
In July 2011, we replaced approximately $188.6 million of borrowings secured by our One Financial Place property, scheduled to mature in August 2011, with approximately $160.0 million of borrowings with an August 2013 maturity date, and the remaining balance of approximately $28.6 million was paid with cash on hand. In July 2011, we also paid in full the approximate $119.1 million in outstanding borrowings under our previous credit facility that was scheduled to mature in December 2011 with proceeds from new borrowings of approximately $100.0 million, secured by our One BriarLake Plaza property, that mature in August 2021 and approximately $19.1 million of cash on hand. We also entered into a $26.0 million 120-day bridge loan in July 2011.
At September 30, 2011, the stated annual interest rates on our notes payable ranged from 2.75% to 9.80%, with an effective weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.76%. For each of our loans that are in default, as detailed below, we incur default interest rates which are 500 basis points higher than their stated interest rate, which results in an overall effective weighted average interest rate of approximately 6.08%.
We have a non-recourse property loan of approximately $27.3 million, secured by our Minnesota Center property, that matured in November 2010 and remains outstanding and in default. On October 7, 2011, a receiver was appointed for this property. However, we are still in discussions with the lender to restructure or payoff this loan at a discount. There is no assurance that we will be able to restructure or payoff this loan at a discount which could result in foreclosure or transfer of ownership of the property to the lender.

Table of Contents
Our proportionate share of a non-recourse property loan secured by our St. Louis Place TIC investment property is approximately $6.5 million and matured in July 2011. Behringer Harvard TIC Management Services LP, the St. Louis Place property manager and asset manager, is in discussions with the lender to restructure this loan. There is no assurance that this loan will be restructured, which could result in foreclosure or transfer of ownership of the property to the lender.
Our loan agreements generally require us to comply with certain reporting and financial covenants. However, as of September 30, 2011, we were in default on a non-recourse property loan with an outstanding balance of approximately $42.5 million secured by our 17655 Waterview and Southwest Center properties (the “Western Office Portfolio”). We are currently marketing both of these properties for sale on behalf of the lender. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to sell these properties, which could result in foreclosure or transfer of ownership of the properties to the lender. As of September 30, 2011, we were also in default on a non-recourse property loan with an outstanding balance of approximately $82.0 million secured by our Resurgens Plaza property. A receiver was appointed for this property on November 1, 2011. However, we are still in discussions with the lender to restructure or payoff this loan at a discount. There is no assurance that we will be able to restructure or payoff this loan at a discount, which could result in foreclosure or transfer of ownership of the property to the lender. At September 30, 2011, other than the defaults discussed above, we believe we were in compliance with each of the debt covenants under each of our other loan agreements. In addition, we believe two non-recourse loans, totaling approximately $100.1 million and secured by two properties, may have imminent defaults or events of default and need to be modified in the near future in order to justify further investment.
At September 30, 2011, our notes payable, excluding those notes that have already matured as detailed above, had maturity dates that range from November 2011 to August 2021. The notes payable with November 2011 maturity dates relate to non-recourse property loans of approximately $225.0 million, secured by our 10 & 120 South Riverside property, and a non-recourse unsecured $26.0 million bridge loan. Each of these loans was paid in full in October 2011 with proceeds from our new credit facility, which is described below. This $251.0 million due in the remainder of 2011 excludes approximately $124.5 million for the non-recourse loans secured by our Western Office Portfolio and Resurgens Plaza which are in default and have maturity dates after 2011, but we have received notification from the lenders demanding immediate payment. We have no debt scheduled to mature in 2012.
Credit Facility
On October 25, 2011, through our operating partnership, Behringer OP, we entered into a new secured credit agreement providing for borrowings of up to $340.0 million, available as a $200.0 million term loan and $140.0 million as a revolving line of credit (subject to increase by up to $110.0 million in the aggregate upon lender approval and payment of certain activation fees to the agent and lenders). The borrowings are supported by additional collateral owned by certain of our subsidiaries, each of which has guaranteed the new credit facility and granted a first mortgage or deed of trust on its real property as security for the new credit facility. The credit facility matures in October 2014 with two one-year renewal options available. The annual interest rate on the credit facility is equal to either, at our election, (1) the “base rate” (calculated as the greatest of (i) the agent’s “prime rate”; (ii) 0.5% above the Federal Funds Effective Rate; or (iii) LIBOR for an interest period of one month plus 1.0%) plus the applicable margin or (2) LIBOR plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for base rate loans is 2.0%; the applicable margin for LIBOR loans is 3.0%. At closing, we chose one-month LIBOR plus 300 basis points which equates to an annual interest rate of 3.24%. In connection with the new credit agreement, we entered into a three year swap agreement to effectively fix the annual interest rate at 3.79% on $150.0 million of the borrowings. At closing, the term loan was fully funded and we drew $57.0 million under the revolving line of credit. Proceeds from the credit facility were used to pay off the loans secured by our 10 & 120 South Riverside property and our unsecured bridge loan. Each of these loans was scheduled to mature in November 2011.
Troubled Debt Restructuring
In February 2010, we completed a discounted purchase, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, of the note totaling approximately $42.8 million associated with our 1650 Arch Street property, resulting in a gain on troubled debt restructuring of approximately $10.4 million, of which approximately $9.4 million was recognized in the first quarter of 2010 and $1.0 million was deferred until March 2011, when we acquired the outstanding 10% ownership in the 1650 Arch Street property held by our partner, an unaffiliated third party, for a cash payment of approximately $1.0 million.
In February 2010, pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, we transferred ownership of KeyBank Center to the lender associated with the property. This transaction was accounted for as a full settlement of debt and resulted in a gain on troubled debt restructuring of approximately $6.5 million which is included in income from discontinued operations.
In January 2011, pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, we transferred ownership of our Executive Park property to the lender associated with the property. This transaction was accounted for as a full settlement of debt and resulted in a gain on troubled debt restructuring of approximately $1.0 million which is included in income from discontinued operations.

Table of Contents
In February 2011, pursuant to a foreclosure, we transferred ownership of our Grandview II property to the lender associated with the property. This transaction was accounted for as a full settlement of debt and resulted in a gain on troubled debt restructuring of approximately $1.0 million which is included in income from discontinued operations.
In August 2011, we sold our 1300 Main property, which was held in receivership at the date of sale. All proceeds were used to fully settle the related debt at a discount and resulted in a gain on troubled debt restructuring of approximately $1.6 million which is included in income from discontinued operations.
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the $1.4 million gain on troubled debt restructuring was approximately $0.00 per common share on both a basic and diluted income per share basis. We had no gain on troubled debt restructuring for the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the gain on troubled debt restructuring of approximately $4.6 million and $15.9 million, respectively, was approximately $0.02 and $0.05 per common share, respectively, on both a basic and diluted income per share basis. These totals include gains on troubled debt restructuring recorded in both continuing operations and discontinued operations.
Share Redemption Program
Our board of directors has authorized a share redemption program to provide limited interim liquidity to stockholders. In 2009, the board determined to suspend until further notice redemptions other than those submitted in respect of a stockholder’s death, disability or confinement to a long-term care facility (referred to herein as “exceptional redemptions”). In November 2010, the board set a funding limit of $4.25 million for exceptional redemptions considered in 2011 proportional to each redemption period, or $1,062,500 per period. In November 2011, the board set a funding limit of the lesser of $1.0 million or 220,000 shares for exceptional redemptions considered in 2012 proportional to each redemption period. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we redeemed 234,624 shares, which represents a pro rata portion of the 547 exceptional redemption requests received as of the July 31, 2011 redemption date. The price of the shares redeemed during the quarter was $4.55 per share. Requests to redeem a total of 1,546,966 shares of common stock for the period were received. Because the total shares requested for redemption exceeded the limit set by our board for the period, we fulfilled the requests pro rata, and accordingly requests to redeem approximately 1,312,342 shares were not fulfilled. If redemption requests exceed the budget for the applicable redemption period any excess shares are treated as a request for redemption in the following period and combined with all subsequent requests received, unless the requesting shareholder withdraws the redemption request. If the remaining unredeemed balance of a request falls below 200 shares, the remaining shares are redeemed in full. We have not kept a record of ordinary redemption requests received since the March 2009 suspension. Cash amounts paid to stockholders for redemption requests during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $3.2 million for redemption of approximately 706,000 shares and were funded from cash on hand. Our board maintains its right to redeem additional shares, subject to the limits set forth in our share redemption program, if it deems it to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. Our board also maintains the right to further amend, suspend or terminate the program at any time.
Distributions
Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on its analysis of numerous factors, including but not limited to our performance over the previous period, expectations of performance over future periods, forthcoming cash needs, earnings, cash flow, anticipated cash flow, capital expenditure requirements, cash on hand and general financial condition. The board’s decisions are also influenced, in substantial part, by the requirements necessary to maintain our REIT status.
The general indicators of performance in the commercial office market have shown signs of continued weakness as a result of the global recession and the inherent lagging nature of commercial office real estate recovery compared to the broader economy. Contributing to this is a high level of unemployment, which is widely recognized as the key factor in vacancy levels. Lower occupancy levels in our portfolio have negatively impacted our performance. Furthermore, in a lower occupancy environment, competitive rental concessions including free rent and reduced rental rates, and increased capital expenditures in the form of tenant improvements and leasing commissions are offered by most office landlords to keep assets leased or attract new tenants necessary to rebuild occupancy. This further contributes to our need to preserve cash and has the effect of reducing cash available for distributions. The board of directors continues to monitor these and other indicators consistent with its previously stated objective of preserving capital. Reductions in our property net operating income have impacted our ability to maintain the level of distributions that were paid to our stockholders. Effective since May 2010 the declared distribution rate has been equal to a monthly amount of $0.0083 per share of common stock, which is equivalent to an annual distribution rate of 1.0% based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share and 2.2% based on the December 31, 2010 estimated valuation of $4.55 per share. From April 2009 to April 2010, the declared distributions rate was equal to a monthly amount of $0.0271 per share of common stock, which is equivalent to an annual distribution rate of 3.25% assuming the share was purchased for $10.00.
The total distributions paid to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were approximately $22.2 million and $49.5 million, respectively. Of the distributions paid to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately $10.0 million and $23.1 million, respectively, were reinvested in shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRP. We thus used net cash of approximately $12.2 million and $26.4 million to fund the distributions for these periods. For both the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, distributions declared and
37
Table of Contents
recorded as a reduction to noncontrolling interest in connection with the Behringer OP limited partnership units were less than $0.1 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, cash provided by operating activities was approximately $6.2 million and $42.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash distributions paid to common stockholders exceeded cash flows from operating activities by approximately $6.0 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cash flows from operating activities exceeded net cash distributions paid to common stockholders by approximately $15.9 million.
The following are the distributions paid and declared to our common stockholders, net loss, FFO, and MFFO during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

(2) Reconciliations of FFO and MFFO to net loss are provided on page 34.
Operating performance cannot be accurately predicted due to numerous factors including the financial performance of our investments in the current uncertain real estate environment and the types and mix of investments in our portfolio. As a result, future distributions paid and declared could continue to exceed cash provided by operating activities even though our board of directors lowered our distribution rate in May 2010. Although we anticipate cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient to fully fund the payment of distributions at the current rate during most quarters, the first half of each year typically requires us to use more cash to pay accrued real estate taxes. We can provide no assurances that the level of our distributions is sustainable or if we will continue to pay distributions at all, and we may pay some or all of our distributions from other sources. For example, from time to time, our advisor and its affiliates may agree to continue to waive or defer all, or a portion, of the acquisition, asset management or other fees or incentives due them, enter into lease agreements for unleased space, pay general and administrative expenses or otherwise supplement investor returns in order to increase the amount of cash that we have available to pay distributions to our stockholders. However, there is no assurance that these other sources will continue to be available to fund distributions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our debt used to acquire properties. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with what we believe are the lowest margins available and in some cases, the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess 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. We have entered into derivative financial instruments to mitigate our interest rate risk on certain financial instruments and effectively cap the interest rate on certain of our variable rate debt.

Table of Contents
Of our approximately $2.4 billion in notes payable at September 30, 2011, approximately $186.0 million represented debt bearing interest at variable rates. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would result in a net increase or decrease in total annual interest incurred of approximately $1.9 million.
A 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in a net decrease in the fair value of our interest rate caps of approximately $0.1 million. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a net increase in the fair value of our interest rate caps of approximately $0.8 million.
We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not directly exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated as of September 30, 2011, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2011, were effective for the purpose of ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not party to, and none of our properties are subject to, any material pending legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The following risk factors supplement the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
We may not be able to refinance or repay our indebtedness.
We may not be able to refinance or repay our existing indebtedness. At September 30, 2011, debt that is secured by three of our properties, totaling approximately $284.7 million at September 30, 2011, has already matured or matures by December 31, 2011. In October 2011, we paid in full approximately $251.0 million of this debt from proceeds from our new credit facility. Due to (1) reduced values of our investments, (2) limited cash flows from operating activities, (3) our debt level, (4) the cost and terms of new or refinanced indebtedness and (5) material changes in lending parameters, including lower loan-to-value ratios, we may face significant challenges refinancing the remaining debt on acceptable terms, if at all.
Further, we may not have the funds necessary to repay our debt as it matures. Failure to refinance or extend our debt as it comes due, or a failure to satisfy the conditions and requirements of that debt, could result in an event of default. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, defaults or events of default with respect to our existing indebtedness, which has required us to either restructure the debt in a way that is supported by the underlying asset values of the properties collateralizing the debt or to purchase or pay off the debt at a discount. For example, as of September 30, 2011, we were in default on non-recourse property loans secured by the Western Office Portfolio and our Resurgens Plaza property, and we are marketing the former properties for sale on behalf of the lender and are in discussions with the lender to restructure or pay off the former at a discount. If we are not able to restructure such indebtedness, or to purchase or pay it off at a discount, the lender may accelerate the debt or foreclose on the related property. We have experienced this result with our Executive Park property in Louisville, Kentucky and our Grandview II property in Birmingham, Alabama, where we ultimately transferred the underlying properties to the lender pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or foreclosure. Similarly, with respect to our Minnesota Center and Resurgens Plaza properties, a receiver has been appointed, which could result in foreclosure or transfer of ownership of any of these properties to the associated lender. In cases where our debt is accelerated, the value of our assets may not be sufficient to repay the debt in full.
Unless we generate sufficient cash flow from operating activities to fund distributions to our stockholders and capital requirements of our properties, we will make distributions from other sources, including cash on hand, which may negatively impact our ability to sustain or pay distributions.
Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on its analysis of our forthcoming cash needs, earnings, historical and anticipated cash flow, capital expenditure requirements, cash on hand, general financial condition and other factors that our board deems relevant. Actual cash available for distribution may vary substantially from estimates. Historically, the amount of our declared distributions has exceeded our cash flow from operating activities, but because of the participation level in our DRP, which results in a reinvestment of distributions in shares of our common stock, the net cash that we have historically been required to pay in distributions has been less than cash flow from operating activities. However, cash flow from operating activities has been insufficient to fund both the net cash required to fund distributions and the capital requirements of our properties. For example, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our properties required approximately $42.9 million for capital expenditures and the net cash required to fund distributions to our common stockholders was approximately $12.2 million. As a result, some of the net cash required for distributions and capital expenditures was funded from cash on hand.
If the level of participation in our DRP decreases, the net cash required to fund distributions may exceed cash flow from operating activities before funding any of the capital requirements of our properties. Further, if cash flow from operating activities continues to be insufficient to fund both the net cash required to fund distributions and the capital requirements of our properties, a portion of distributions will continue to be funded with cash on hand or from other sources, and the level of our distributions may not be sustainable. For example, we may generate cash to pay distributions from financing activities, components of which may include borrowings (including borrowings secured by our assets) in anticipation of future operating cash flow. In addition, from time to time, our advisor and its affiliates have agreed, but are not required, to waive or defer all, or a portion, of the acquisition, asset management or other fees or other incentives due to them, enter into lease agreements for unleased space, pay general and administrative expenses or otherwise supplement investor returns in order to increase the amount of cash available to make

distributions to our stockholders. To the extent distributions exceed net cash or cash flow generated by operating or financing activities, the level of distributions may not be sustainable and our board of directors could further reduce or eliminate distributions.
The geographic concentration of our portfolio may make us particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the real estate markets of those areas.
In addition to general, regional and national economic conditions, our operating results are impacted by the economic conditions of the specific markets in which we have concentrations of properties. Properties located in the metropolitan areas of Chicago, Houston and Philadelphia represent approximately 46% of the net operating income, which represents property revenue less property related expenses, generated during the three months ended September 30, 2011, by our properties owned as of September 30, 2011. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect our property revenue, and hence net operating income.
A proposed change in U.S. accounting standards for leases could reduce the overall demand to lease our properties.
The existing accounting standards for leases require lessees to classify their leases as either capital or operating leases. Under a capital lease, both the leased asset, which represents the tenant’s right to use the property, and the contractual lease obligation are recorded on the tenant’s balance sheet if one of the following criteria are met: (i) the lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee by the end of the lease term; (ii) the lease contains a bargain purchase option; (iii) the non-cancellable lease term is more than 75% of the useful life of the asset; or (iv) if the present value of the minimum lease payments equals 90% or more of the leased property’s fair value. If the terms of the lease do not meet these criteria, the lease is considered an operating lease, and no leased asset or contractual lease obligation is recorded by the tenant.
In order to address concerns raised by the SEC regarding the transparency of contractual lease obligations under the existing accounting standards for operating leases, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) and the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) initiated a joint project to develop new guidelines to lease accounting. The FASB and IASB (collectively, the “Boards”) issued an Exposure Draft on August 17, 2010 (the “Exposure Draft”), which proposes substantial changes to the current lease accounting standards, primarily by eliminating the concept of operating lease accounting. As a result, a lease asset and obligation would be recorded on tenants’ balance sheets for all lease arrangements. In addition, the Exposure Draft will impact the method in which contractual lease payments would be recorded. In order to mitigate the effect of the proposed lease accounting, tenants may seek to negotiate certain terms within new lease arrangements or modify terms in existing lease arrangements, such as shorter lease terms or fewer extension options, which would generally have less impact on tenants’ balance sheets. Also, tenants may reassess their lease-versus-buy strategies. This could result in a greater renewal risk or shorter lease terms, which may negatively impact our operations and ability to pay distributions.
Subsequent to the Exposure Draft, the Boards have deliberated and have made further revisions to certain proposals in their Exposure Draft. The Boards plan to continue deliberations. The Boards have decided to re-explore their proposed lease accounting standard and plan to publish a revised Exposure Draft during the fourth quarter of 2011. A final lease standard likely will not be issued until the second half of 2012.

Share Redemption Program
Our board of directors has authorized a share redemption program to provide limited interim liquidity to stockholders. In 2009, the board determined to suspend until further notice redemptions other than those submitted in respect of a stockholder’s death, disability or confinement to a long-term care facility (referred to herein as “exceptional redemptions”). In November 2010, the board set a funding limit of $4.25 million for exceptional redemptions considered in 2011 proportional to each redemption period, or $1,062,500 per period. In November 2011, the board set a funding limit of the lesser of $1.0 million or 220,000 shares for exceptional redemptions considered in 2012 proportional to each redemption period. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we redeemed 234,624 shares, which represents a pro rata portion of the 547 exceptional exemption requests received as of the July 31, 2011 redemption date. The price of the shares redeemed during the quarter was $4.55 per share. Requests to redeem a total of 1,546,966 shares of common stock for the period were received. Because the total shares requested for redemption exceeded the limit set by our board for the period, we fulfilled the requests pro rata, and accordingly requests to redeem approximately 1,312,342 shares were not fulfilled. If redemption requests exceed the budget for the applicable redemption period any excess shares are treated as a request for redemption in the following period and combined with all subsequent requests received, unless the requesting shareholder withdraws the redemption request. If the remaining unredeemed balance of a request falls below 200 shares, the remaining shares are redeemed in full. We have not kept a record of ordinary

redemption requests received since the March 2009 suspension. Cash amounts paid to stockholders for redemption requests during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $3.2 million for redemption of approximately 706,000 shares and were funded from cash on hand. Our board maintains its right to redeem additional shares, subject to the limits set forth in our share redemption program, if it deems it to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.
We will not redeem, during any twelve-month period, more than 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the date of redemption. Further, our board may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, limit the funds that we use to redeem shares; provided that in no event may the funds used for redemption during any period exceed the proceeds from our DRP during the period consisting of the preceding four fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available, less any redemptions during the same period. Our board reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to (1) reject any request for redemption, (2) change the purchase price for redemptions, (3) limit the funds to be used for redemptions or otherwise change the limitations on redemption or (4) amend, suspend (in whole or in part) or terminate the program.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2011 we redeemed shares as follows:

Declaration of Distributions
On September 16, 2011, our board of directors authorized distributions payable to stockholders of record on September 30, 2011 and October 31, 2011. On November 8, 2011, our board of directors authorized distributions payable to stockholders of record on November 30, 2011. Distributions payable to each stockholder of record are paid in cash on or before the 16th day of the following month. The declared distributions equal a monthly amount of $0.0083 per share of common stock, which is equivalent to an annual distribution rate of 1.0% on a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on its analysis of numerous factors, including but not limited to our forthcoming cash needs, and there is no assurance that distributions will continue or be paid at any particular rate. All or a portion of the distributions may constitute return of capital for tax purposes.
Waiver of Asset Management Fees
On November 8, 2011, we entered into a letter agreement with Behringer Advisors, in which our advisor set our obligation to pay asset management fees for services rendered under the Fifth Amended and Restated Advisory Management Agreement, dated December 29, 2006, as amended, at $5.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. In doing so, our advisor waived our obligation to pay approximately $1.3 million in additional asset management fees that would otherwise become due and payable during the fourth quarter of 2011 (based on assets held as of October 1, 2011).
The information set forth above with respect to the letter agreement does not purport to be complete in scope and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the letter agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated into this report by reference.
