TABLE OF CONTENTS
PART I
Overview
CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust is a Maryland real estate investment trust that invests in real estate, focusing primarily on office and industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and to a lesser extent, retail and potentially multi-family residential properties. As of December 31, 2011, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 77 office, industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and retail properties located in 16 states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Virginia) and in the United Kingdom encompassing approximately 14,434,000 rentable square feet in the aggregate. In addition, we had ownership interests in five unconsolidated entities that, as of December 31, 2011, owned interests in 53 properties. Excluding those properties owned through our investment in CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners Asia II, L.P. (“CBRE Strategic Partners Asia”), we owned, on an unconsolidated basis, 45 office, industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and retail properties located in ten states (Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas) and in the United Kingdom and Europe encompassing approximately 13,851,000 rentable square feet in the aggregate.
As of December 31, 2011, our portfolio was 97.90% leased. The total effective annual rents for our office properties, industrial properties and retail properties were approximately $161,086,000, $76,084,000 and $8,691,000 as of December 31, 2011, respectively (net of any rent concessions). The average effective annual rent per square foot for our office properties, industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) properties and retail properties was approximately $19.00, $3.94 and $17.49 as of December 31, 2011, respectively (net of any rent concessions).
We commenced operations in July 2004, following an initial private placement of our common shares of beneficial interest. We raised aggregate net proceeds (after commissions and expenses) of approximately $55,500,000 from July 2004 to October 2004 in private placements of our common shares. On October 24, 2006, we commenced an initial public offering of up to $2,000,000,000 in our common shares. In connection with that offering, we accepted subscriptions from 13,270 investors, issued 60,808,967 common shares including 1,487,943 common shares issued pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan, and received $607,345,702 in gross proceeds. Our initial public offering was terminated effective as of the close of business on January 29, 2009. On January 30, 2009, we commenced a follow-on public offering of up to $3,000,000,000 in our common shares. In connection with that offering, from January 30, 2009 (effective date) through January 30, 2012 (close), we had accepted subscriptions from 49,990 investors, issued 190,672,251 common shares including 11,170,603 common shares issued pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan, and received $1,901,137,211 in gross proceeds. On February 3, 2012, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register 25,000,000 of our common shares for up to $237,500,000 pursuant to the amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan.
We are an externally managed REIT, and have retained CBRE Advisors LLC as our investment advisor (the “Investment Advisor”). The Investment Advisor is responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions on our behalf pursuant to an advisory agreement that expires on April 30, 2012, unless we and the Investment Advisor mutually agree to renew such agreement. See “—The Advisory Agreement.” The Investment Advisor receives advisory services relating to real estate acquisitions, property management and communications with existing investors and, in addition, receives marketing and other operational services from CFG VIII, Inc., (formerly CNL Fund Management Company) an affiliate of CNL Securities Corp., the entity that served as the dealer manager in our public offerings (the “former dealer manager”), pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement with the Investment Advisor. We hold all of our real estate investments directly or indirectly through our operating partnership, CBRE Operating Partnership, L.P. (“CBRE OP”).
We benefit from the investment expertise and experience of the Investment Advisor, which is an affiliate of CBRE Global Investors, L.L.C. (“CBRE Global Investors”). CBRE Global Investors is a real estate investment management company and a registered investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). CBRE Global Investors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE: CBG) (“CBRE Group”). The Investment Advisor is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC as a “relying adviser” in reliance on the existing registration of CBRE Global Investors based on recent guidance provided by the SEC. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that portion of our income that we distribute to our shareholders if, in general, at least 90% of our net taxable income (excluding net capital gain) is distributed to our shareholders.
Unless the context otherwise requires or indicates, references to, “we,” “our” and “us” refer to the activities of and the assets and liabilities of the business and operations of CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust and its subsidiaries.

Investment Objectives and Acquisition Policies
We invest in real estate properties, focusing primarily on office and industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution), and to a lesser extent, retail and potentially multi-family residential properties, as well as certain other real estate-related assets. Our investment objectives are:
| | ¡ | | to maximize cash dividends paid to you; |
| | ¡ | | to preserve and protect your capital contributions; |
| | ¡ | | to realize growth in the value of our assets upon our ultimate sale of such assets; and |
| | ¡ | | to provide you with the potential for future liquidity by (i) listing our shares on a national securities exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global Market or (ii) if a listing has not occurred on or before December 31, 2011 our Board of Trustees must consider (but is not required to commence) an orderly liquidation of our assets. |
We cannot assure you that we will attain these objectives or that our capital will not decrease. We may not change our investment objectives, except upon approval of shareholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares; however, our Board of Trustees may change any of our investment policies without prior notice to you or a vote of our shareholders.
In 2010, our Board of Trustees established a Special Committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”) consisting of all of the Board’s independent trustees, Messrs. Black (Chairman), Reid and Orphanides, to explore and review our strategic alternatives and liquidity events in accordance with our investment objectives and the Special Committee engaged Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc. as its financial advisor, to assist with its exploration and review of our strategic alternatives and liquidity events in accordance with our investment objectives (as discussed above). During 2011, with the assistance of its financial advisor and in consultation with the Investment Advisor and our Board of Trustees, the Special Committee discussed and considered various strategic alternatives, including potentially continuing as a going concern under our current business plan, a potential liquidation of our assets either through a sale or merger of our company (including through either a bulk sale of our portfolio or through a sale of our individual properties) as well as a potential listing of our shares on a national securities exchange. In December 2011, after consideration of the recent general economic and capital market conditions, market conditions for listed REITs, credit market conditions, our operational performance, the status of our portfolio, our then current offering and our current and anticipated deployment of available capital to investments, the Special Committee and our Board of Trustees determined it was in the best interests of our shareholders for our shares to remain unlisted and to continue operations rather than commencing a liquidation of our assets. The Special Committee and our Board of Trustees believed that remaining unlisted and continuing our operations would provide us with the ability to purchase additional properties in order to continue to expand and diversify our portfolio and thus better position us for a favorable liquidity event. We cannot predict with any certainty the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future and there can be no assurance that our continuing operation will result in any particular outcome or that we will be able to successfully execute strategies relating to capital deployment, additional property acquisitions, or other investment or operational strategies in part or at all. Although our Board of Trustees and the Special Committee continue to monitor market conditions and explore strategic alternatives and liquidity options, including a process to achieve internal management as described under “—The Advisory Agreement,” we cannot provide any assurance or suggested timing as to when we will proceed with any particular transaction.
We employ an enhanced income investment strategy designed to maximize risk-adjusted returns. To do so, we purchase, actively and passively manage and sell properties located in the business districts and suburban markets of major metropolitan areas. Our primary focus is on office and industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and to a lesser extent, retail and potentially multi-family residential properties. The number and aggregate purchase price of properties we acquire in each asset class will depend upon real estate and market conditions and other circumstances existing at the time we acquire assets. The consideration we agree to pay for real property shall ordinarily be based on the fair market value of the property as determined by a majority of our trustees.
Our office portfolio may include properties such as multi-tenant, single-tenant and sale leasebacks, office parks and portfolios, newly constructed, corporate/user activity, medical office, technology/telecommunication, redevelopments and stabilized operations. Our retail portfolio may encompass regional malls, power centers, community centers, grocery-anchored strips, freestanding stores, urban properties, single assets and multiple property portfolios. Our industrial portfolio consists primarily of warehouse/distribution properties, but may also include office/showroom, research and development facilities, manufacturing, single-tenant and sale leasebacks and corporate/user activity properties. Our multi-family residential portfolio may include garden complexes, townhouse developments, mid/high-rise towers, newly constructed and redevelopment properties, single assets and multi-property portfolios.
Our investment strategy is centered on the Investment Advisor’s research-driven approach. We focus on the property types and markets identified as most compelling by the Investment Advisor’s research. As a result, we believe that our opportunities will evolve over time as market conditions change.
2
We hold all of our real estate investments directly or indirectly through our operating partnership, CBRE OP. We are the sole general partner of CBRE OP. Our ownership of properties in CBRE OP is referred to as an Umbrella Partnership REIT, or “UPREIT.” We believe the UPREIT structure is a competitive advantage for us when seeking to acquire assets, because it allows potential sellers of properties to defer gain recognition for U.S. federal income tax purposes by contributing properties to CBRE OP in return for an interest therein. Although we are not limited as to the form our investments may take, our investments in real estate generally take the form of holding fee title or a long-term leasehold estate in the properties we acquire. We acquire such interests either directly in CBRE OP or indirectly by acquiring membership interests in, or acquisitions of property through, limited liability companies or through investments in joint ventures, partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with developers of properties, affiliates of the Investment Advisor or other persons. In addition, we may purchase properties and lease them back to the sellers of such properties.
We may, from time to time, invest in or make mortgage or other real estate-related loans, which may include first or second mortgages, mezzanine loans or other real estate-related investments that do not conflict with the maintenance of our REIT qualification. Although we do not have a formal policy, our criteria for investing in mortgage loans will be substantially the same as those involved in our investment in properties and will be subject to the investment limitations contained in our declaration of trust.
We are not limited as to the geographic area where we may conduct our operations. We intend to invest primarily in properties located in geographically-diverse major metropolitan areas in the United States. In addition, we currently intend to invest up to 30% of our total assets in properties outside of the United States. Our international investments may be in markets in which CBRE Global Investors has existing operations or previous investment experience, or may be in partnership with other entities that have significant local-market expertise. We expect that our international investments will focus on properties typically located in significant business districts and suburban markets.
We may purchase existing assets with an operating history, newly constructed properties or assets under construction. We will not invest more than 20% of our total assets in any single investment. Except for this limitation on our ability to invest in excess of 20% of our total assets in any single investment, after the initial startup activities, we are not specifically limited in the number or size of investments we may acquire or on the percentage of net proceeds of our offerings that we may invest in a single investment. It is our intent over time to build a diversified portfolio of assets. However, the number and mix of assets we acquire will depend upon real estate and market conditions and other circumstances existing at the time we acquire assets and the amount of capital that we have available for acquisitions. In making investment decisions for us, the Investment Advisor considers relevant risks and financial factors, including the creditworthiness of major tenants, the expected levels of rental and occupancy rates, current and projected cash flow of the property, the location, condition and use of the property, suitability for any development contemplated or in progress, income-producing capacity, the prospects for long-range appreciation, liquidity and income tax considerations. In addition to these factors, the Investment Advisor, when evaluating prospective mortgage loan investments, will consider the ratio of the amount of the investment to the value of the property by which it is selected and the quality, experience and creditworthiness of the borrower. The Investment Advisor may utilize the resources and professionals of CBRE Global Investors and may consult with its investment committee when evaluating potential investments. In this regard, the Investment Advisor has substantial discretion with respect to the selection of specific investments and the Investment Advisor may not complete an acquisition or disposition of property or financing of an acquisition on our behalf without the prior approval of a majority of our Board of Trustees.
Our obligation to close the purchase of any property is generally conditioned upon the delivery and verification of certain documents from the seller or developer, including, where appropriate:
| | ¡ | | plans and specifications; |
| | ¡ | | evidence of marketable title subject to such liens and encumbrances as are acceptable to the Investment Advisor; |
| | ¡ | | title and liability insurance policies; and |
| | ¡ | | audited financial statements covering recent operations of properties having operating histories, unless such statements would not be required to be filed with the SEC, so long as we are a public company. |
We will not close the purchase of any property unless and until we obtain an environmental assessment for each property purchased and are generally satisfied with the environmental status of the property. A Phase I environmental site assessment basically consists of a visual survey of the building and the property in an attempt to identify areas of potential environmental concern, visually observing neighboring properties to assess surface conditions or activities that may have an adverse environmental impact on the property, and contacting local governmental agency personnel and performing a regulatory agency file search in an attempt to determine any known
3
environmental concerns in the immediate vicinity of the property. A Phase I environmental site assessment does not generally include any sampling or testing of soil, groundwater or building materials from the property. We may pursue additional assessments or reviews if the Phase I site assessment indicates that further environmental investigation is warranted.
In connection with our assessment and selection of investment partners, property managers, development managers and other service providers, we will consider their experience and reputation in the areas of environmental sustainability, including experience in the development and operation of buildings certified under the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System promulgated by the US Green Building Counsel. The Investment Advisor will evaluate the sustainability of a prospective investment property by assessing its Energy Star score, its preliminary LEED score, and sustainability measures that have been or can be implemented, such as recycling, water conservation and green cleaning methods. We will consider operational, maintenance and capital improvement practices for existing properties designed to increase energy efficiency, reduce waste and otherwise lessen environmental impacts while remaining conscious of economic performance. We will engage in dialog with our property managers and tenants to determine and implement sustainability initiatives appropriate for particular properties with appropriate parties.
We may also enter into arrangements with the seller or developer of a property whereby the seller or developer agrees that if during a stated period the property does not generate a specified cash flow, the seller or developer will pay in cash to us a sum necessary to reach the specified cash flow level, subject in some cases to negotiated dollar limitations.
In determining whether to purchase a particular property, we may, in accordance with customary practices, obtain an option on such property. The amount paid for an option, if any, is normally surrendered if the property is not purchased and is normally credited against the purchase price if the property is purchased.
Development and Construction of Properties
We have invested in, and may in the future invest in properties on which improvements are to be constructed or completed. We are not restricted in our ability to invest in such properties. To help ensure performance by the builders of properties that are under construction, completion of properties under construction may be guaranteed at the price contracted either by an adequate completion bond, performance bond or other appropriate instruments. We may rely, however, upon the substantial net worth of the contractor or developer or a personal guarantee accompanied by financial statements showing a substantial net worth provided by an affiliate of the person entering into the construction or development contract as an alternative to a completion bond or performance bond. Development of real estate properties is subject to risks relating to a builder’s ability to control construction costs or to build in conformity with plans, specifications and timetables.
We may make periodic progress payments or other cash advances to developers and builders of our properties prior to completion of construction only upon receipt of an architect’s certification as to the percentage of the project then-completed and as to the dollar amount of the construction then-completed. We intend to use such additional controls on disbursements to builders and developers as we deem necessary or prudent.
We may directly employ one or more project managers to plan, supervise and implement the development of any unimproved properties that we may acquire. In such event, such persons would be compensated directly by us.
Joint Venture Investments
We have entered into, and may in the future enter into, joint ventures, partnerships, co-tenancies and other co-ownership arrangements or participations with real estate developers, owners and other third-parties affiliated with, or sponsored by CBRE Global Investors, for the purpose of developing, owning and operating real properties. In determining whether to invest in a particular joint venture, the Investment Advisor will evaluate the real property or development opportunity that such joint venture being formed to own or develop under the same criteria employed for the selection of our real estate property investments.
In the event that the co-venturer were to elect to sell property held in any such joint venture, however, we may not have sufficient funds to exercise our right of first refusal to buy the other co-venturer’s interest in the property held by the joint venture. In the event that any joint venture with an affiliated entity holds interests in more than one property, the interest in each such property may be specially allocated based upon the respective proportion of funds invested by each co-venturer in each such property. Our entering into joint ventures with affiliates of, or other programs sponsored by, CBRE Global Investors, may result in certain conflicts of interest.
Borrowing Policies
While we strive for diversification, the number of different assets we can acquire will be affected by the amount of funds available to us.
4
Our ability to increase our diversification through borrowing could be adversely impacted by banks and other lending institutions reducing the amount of funds available for loans secured by real estate. When interest rates on mortgage loans are high or financing is otherwise unavailable on a timely basis, we may purchase certain properties for cash with the intention of obtaining a mortgage loan for a portion of the purchase price at a later time.
Although we have adopted a policy to limit our aggregate borrowing to no more than 65% of the cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation, subject to the 300% of net assets borrowing restriction described below, this policy may be altered at any time or suspended by our Board of Trustees if necessary to pursue attractive investment opportunities. Our organizational documents contain a limitation on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur, so that until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, our aggregate borrowing may not exceed 300% of our net assets unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent trustees and is disclosed to shareholders in our next quarterly report. Our Board of Trustees must review our aggregate borrowing from time to time, but at least quarterly.
By operating on a leveraged basis, we will have more funds available for investment in assets. This will allow us to make more investments than would otherwise be possible, resulting in a more diversified portfolio. Although our liability for the repayment of indebtedness is expected to be limited to the value of the asset securing the liability and the rents or profits derived therefrom, our use of leverage may increase the risk of default on the mortgage payments and a resulting foreclosure of a particular property. To the extent that we do not obtain mortgage loans on our properties, our ability to acquire additional assets will be restricted. The Investment Advisor will use its best efforts to obtain financing on our behalf on the most favorable terms available. Lenders may have recourse to assets not securing the repayment of the indebtedness.
We may refinance properties during the term of a loan only in limited circumstances, such as when a decline in interest rates makes it beneficial to prepay an existing mortgage, when an existing mortgage matures or if an attractive investment becomes available and the proceeds from the refinancing can be used to purchase such investment. The benefits of the refinancing may include an increased cash flow resulting from reduced debt service requirements, an increase in dividend distributions from proceeds of the refinancing, if any, and/or an increase in property ownership if some refinancing proceeds are reinvested in real estate.
We may not borrow money from any of our trustees or from the Investment Advisor and its affiliates unless approved by a majority of our trustees, including a majority of any independent trustees not otherwise interested in the transaction, as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties.
Disposition Policies
We generally intend to hold each asset we acquire for an extended period. However, circumstances might arise which could result in the early sale of some assets. We may sell a property before the end of the expected holding period if, among other reasons:
| | ¡ | | in our judgment, the sale of the asset is in the best interests of our shareholders; |
| | ¡ | | we can reinvest the proceeds in a higher-yielding investment; |
| | ¡ | | we can increase cash flow through the disposition of the asset; or |
| | ¡ | | in the judgment of the Investment Advisor, the value of an asset might decline substantially. |
The determination of whether a particular asset should be sold or otherwise disposed of will be made after consideration of relevant factors, including prevailing economic conditions, with a view to achieving maximum long-term capital appreciation. We cannot assure you that this objective will be realized. See “—Investments Objectives and Acquisition Policies.”
Investment Limitations
Our declaration of trust places numerous limitations on us with respect to the manner in which we may invest our funds, most of which are required by various provisions of the North American Securities Administrators Association Guidelines, or NASAA Guidelines. Our declaration of trust provides that until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange or included on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market, we may not:
| | ¡ | | invest in equity securities unless a majority of our trustees, including a majority of any independent trustees not otherwise interested in the transaction, approve such investment as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable; |
| | ¡ | | make investments in unimproved property or indebtedness secured by a deed of trust or mortgage loans on unimproved property in excess of 10% of our total assets; |
| | ¡ | | invest in commodities or commodity futures contracts, except for futures contracts when used solely for the purpose of hedging in connection with our ordinary business of investing in real estate assets and mortgages; |
5
| | ¡ | | make or invest in mortgage loans unless an appraisal is obtained concerning the underlying property, except for those mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by a government or government agency. In cases where a majority of our independent trustees determine, and in all cases in which the transaction is with any of our trustees or the Investment Advisor or its affiliates, such appraisal shall be obtained from an independent appraiser. We will maintain such appraisal in our records for at least five years and it will be available for your inspection and duplication. We will also obtain a mortgagee’s or owner’s title insurance policy as to the priority of the mortgage; |
| | ¡ | | invest in real estate contracts of sale, otherwise known as land sale contracts, unless the contract is in recordable form and is appropriately recorded in the chain of title; |
| | ¡ | | make or invest in mortgage loans, including construction loans, on any one property if the aggregate amount of all mortgage loans on such property would exceed an amount equal to 85% of the appraised value of such property as determined by appraisal unless substantial justification exists for exceeding such limit because of the presence of other underwriting criteria; |
| | ¡ | | make or invest in mortgage loans that are subordinate to any mortgage or equity interest of any of our trustees, the Investment Advisor or its affiliates; |
| | ¡ | | issue “redeemable securities,” as defined in Section 2(a)(32) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act; |
| | ¡ | | issue debt securities unless the historical debt service coverage (in the most recently completed fiscal year) as adjusted for known changes is sufficient to properly service that higher level of debt; |
| | ¡ | | grant warrants or options to purchase shares to the Investment Advisor or its affiliates or to officers or trustees affiliated with the Investment Advisor except on the same terms as such warrants or options are sold to the general public and in an amount not to exceed 10% of the outstanding shares on the date of grant of the warrants and options; |
| | ¡ | | issue equity securities on a deferred payment basis or other similar arrangement; or |
| | ¡ | | lend money to our trustees or to the Investment Advisor or its affiliates. |
The Investment Advisor continually reviews our investment activity to ensure that we do not come within the application of the Investment Company Act. Among other things, the Investment Advisor monitors the proportion of our portfolio that is placed in various investments so that we do not come within the definition of an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. If at any time the character of our investments could cause us to be deemed an “investment company” for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we will take the necessary actions to attempt to ensure that we are not deemed to be an “investment company.”
Change in Investment Objectives and Limitations
Until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, our declaration of trust requires that the independent trustees review our investment policies at least annually to determine that the policies we are following are in the best interests of our shareholders. Each determination, and the basis therefore, is required to be set forth in our minutes. The methods of implementing our investment policies also may vary as new investment techniques are developed. The methods of implementing our investment objectives and policies, except as otherwise provided in the organizational documents, may be altered by a majority of our trustees, including a majority of the independent trustees, without the approval of the shareholders. Our investment objectives themselves, however, may only be amended by a vote of the shareholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares.
Restrictions on Roll-up Transactions
Until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, our declaration of trust requires that we follow the policy set forth below with respect to any “Roll-up Transaction.” In connection with any proposed transaction considered a “Roll-up Transaction” involving us and the issuance of securities of an entity, or a Roll-up Entity, that would be created or would survive after the successful completion of the Roll-up Transaction, an appraisal of all properties must be obtained from a competent independent appraiser. The properties must be appraised on a consistent basis, and the appraisal shall be based on the evaluation of all relevant information and shall indicate the value of the properties as of the date immediately prior to the announcement of the proposed Roll-up Transaction. The appraisal shall assume an orderly liquidation of properties over a 12-month period. The terms of the engagement of the independent appraiser must clearly state that the engagement is for our benefit and our shareholders’ benefit. A summary of the appraisal, indicating all material assumptions underlying the appraisal, shall be included in a report to our shareholders in connection with any proposed Roll-up Transaction. If the appraisal will be included in a document used to offer the securities of a Roll-up Entity, the appraisal shall be filed with the SEC and the states as an exhibit to the registration statement for the offering.
6
A “Roll-up Transaction” is a transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation, directly or indirectly, of us and the issuance of securities of a Roll-up Entity. This term does not include:
| | ¡ | | a transaction involving our securities that have been listed on a national securities exchange for at least 12 months; or |
| | ¡ | | a transaction involving our conversion into corporate or association form if, as a consequence of the transaction, there will be no significant adverse change in any of the following: our shareholder voting rights; the term of our existence; compensation to the Investment Advisor or its affiliates; or our investment objectives. |
In connection with a proposed Roll-up Transaction, the person sponsoring the Roll-up Transaction must offer to our shareholders who vote “no” on the proposal a choice of:
| | ¡ | | accepting the securities of the Roll-up Entity offered in the proposed Roll-up Transaction; or |
| | ¡ | | remaining as shareholders and preserving their interests on the same terms and conditions as existed previously; or |
| | ¡ | | receiving cash in an amount equal to the shareholders’ pro rata share of the appraised value of our net assets. |
We are prohibited from participating in any proposed Roll-up Transaction:
| | ¡ | | that would result in our shareholders having voting rights in a Roll-up Entity that are less than those provided in our bylaws and described elsewhere in this document including rights with respect to the election and removal of trustees, annual reports, annual and special meetings, amendment of our declaration of trust and our dissolution; |
| | ¡ | | that includes provisions that would operate to materially impede or frustrate the accumulation of shares by any purchaser of the securities of the Roll-up Entity, except to the minimum extent necessary to preserve the tax status of the Roll-up Entity, or which would limit the ability of an investor to exercise voting rights of its securities of the Roll-up Entity on the basis of the number of shares held by that investor; |
| | ¡ | | in which shareholders’ right to access of records of the Roll-up Entity will be less than those provided in our declaration of trust and bylaws; or |
| | ¡ | | in which any of the costs of the Roll-up Transaction would be borne by us if the Roll-up Transaction is not approved by our shareholders. |
Policies With Respect to Certain Other Activities
If our Board of Trustees determines that additional funding is required, we may raise such funds through equity offerings or the retention of cash flow (subject to the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) concerning distribution requirements and taxability of undistributed net taxable income) or a combination of these methods.
In the event that our Board of Trustees determines to raise additional equity capital, it has the authority, without shareholder approval, to issue additional common or preferred shares in any manner and on such terms and for such consideration it deems appropriate, at any time.
We have authority to repurchase or otherwise reacquire our shares and may engage in such activities in the future. We may invest in the securities of other issuers for the purpose of exercising control. We currently have no intention to underwrite securities of other issuers.
Our Board of Trustees may change any of these policies without prior notice to or a vote of our shareholders.
The Advisory Agreement
We entered into an advisory agreement with the Investment Advisor in July 2004, which was amended and restated in October 2006, January 2009 and December 2010. Pursuant to this agreement, which was unanimously approved by our Board of Trustees, including our independent trustees, we appointed the Investment Advisor to manage, operate, direct and supervise our operations. The Investment Advisor performs its duties as a fiduciary of us and our shareholders. Many of the services to be performed by the Investment Advisor in managing our day-to-day activities are summarized below.
This summary is provided to illustrate the material functions that the Investment Advisor performs for us as the Investment Advisor, and it is not intended to include all of the services that may be provided to us by the Investment Advisor or by third parties. The Investment Advisor may subcontract with third parties for the performance of certain duties on our behalf. The Investment Advisor will only subcontract with third parties that are believed to have the requisite experience to perform their duties. The Investment Advisor
7
will supervise the activities of any such third parties consistent with its fiduciary duty to us. Under the terms of the advisory agreement, the Investment Advisor undertakes to use its best efforts to present to us investment opportunities consistent with our investment policies and objectives as adopted by our Board of Trustees. In its performance of this undertaking, the Investment Advisor shall, subject to the authority of the board:
| | ¡ | | find, present and recommend to us real estate investment opportunities consistent with our investment policies and objectives; |
| | ¡ | | structure the terms and conditions of transactions pursuant to which acquisitions of properties will be made; |
| | ¡ | | acquire assets on our behalf in compliance with our investment objectives and policies; |
| | ¡ | | arrange for financing and refinancing of properties; and |
| | ¡ | | enter into leases and service contracts for the properties acquired. |
The current term of the advisory agreement expires on April 30, 2012, unless we and the Investment Advisor mutually agree to renew such agreement. Prior to any renewal, our trustees will evaluate the performance of the Investment Advisor and the criteria used in such evaluation will be reflected in the minutes of such meeting. Additionally, the advisory agreement may be terminated:
| | ¡ | | immediately by us (i) in the event the Investment Advisor commits fraud, criminal conduct, willful misconduct or willful or negligent breach of fiduciary duty by the Investment Advisor, (ii) upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Investment Advisor, CBRE Global Investors or CBRE Group or (iii) upon material breach of the Advisory Agreement by the Investment Advisor, which remains uncured after 30 days’ written notice or (iv) if there is a dissolution of any of the Investment Advisor, CBRE Global Investors or CBRE Group; |
| | ¡ | | without cause or penalty by a majority of our independent trustees or by the Investment Advisor upon 60 days’ written notice; or |
| | ¡ | | immediately by the Investment Advisor upon our bankruptcy or any material breach of the advisory agreement by us, which remains uncured after 10 days’ written notice. |
In March 2012, the Special Committee determined that our company and its shareholders would benefit from an internal management structure in that such a structure could provide cost savings, improved distribution coverage, flexibility to pursue a variety of strategic initiatives, the ability to take advantage of opportunities created by changing market conditions and an opportunity to enhance the trading values of our common shares to the extent that we pursue and complete a listing of our common shares on a national securities exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global Market. Our Board of Trustees, based on the recommendation of the Special Committee, has authorized the Special Committee to commence a process to achieve internal management.
The Special Committee and the managing member of the Investment Advisor, including their respective legal advisors, have begun negotiating a proposed transitional advisory arrangement to facilitate our company becoming internally managed. As currently being discussed, the transitional advisory arrangement would provide for the continuation of current advisory services by, and payment of fees and expenses to, the Investment Advisor for a period of one year. The Investment Advisor would cooperate with us and take all reasonable steps requested to assist our Board of Trustees in making an orderly transition to become internally managed. As part of any transition arrangement, we would not expect to acquire the Investment Advisor nor pay a separate internalization fee to the Investment Advisor. We would expect to hire certain employees who are currently dedicated to managing our operations, and the Investment Advisor would facilitate our efforts to hire such employees. As we transition these employees to our company, the management fee we would otherwise pay to the Investment Advisor would be reduced by the fixed compensation that the Investment Advisor was paying those employees prior to such transition.
As of the date of this report, no agreement has been entered into and there can be no guarantee that an agreement will in fact be agreed to by the parties on such terms or otherwise. The final terms may also vary from the terms currently under negotiation as described above.Were the parties unable to agree on a transition arrangement, the advisory agreement would expire by its terms on April 30, 2012. Thereafter, we would not be able to rely on the Investment Advisor to provide services to us. We would rely on our Board of Trustees and seek to hire employees and engage third party service providers to identify and acquire future investments for us, manage our investments and operate our day-to-day activities. While we would no longer bear the costs of the various fees and expenses we pay to the Investment Advisor under the current advisory agreement, our direct expenses would include general and administrative costs, including legal, accounting, SEC reporting and compliance, and compensation costs and other employee benefits.
Affiliates of the Investment Advisor may engage in other business ventures and, as a result, their resources may not be dedicated exclusively to our business. However, pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Investment Advisor must devote sufficient resources to the administration of our company to discharge our obligations. The Investment Advisor does not currently intend to advise REITs other
8
than us. The Investment Advisor may assign the advisory agreement to an affiliate upon approval of a majority of the trustees, including the independent trustees. Until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global Market and so long as we are externally managed, the trustees shall determine that any successor advisor possesses sufficient qualifications to (i) perform the advisory function for us and (ii) justify the compensation provided for in its contract with us. We may assign or transfer the advisory agreement to a successor entity of ours.
The Investment Advisor may not complete an acquisition or disposition of property or financing of such acquisition on our behalf without the prior approval of a majority of our Board of Trustees. The Investment Advisor may also utilize the resources and professionals of CBRE Global Investors and may consult with its investment committee when evaluating potential investments. However, the actual terms and conditions of transactions involving investments in properties shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Investment Advisor, subject at all times to such board approval.
We reimburse the Investment Advisor for all of the costs it incurs in connection with the services it provides to us, including, but not limited to:
| | ¡ | | with respect to our follow-on offering, cumulative organization and offering expenses were estimated to be 0.8%, but in no event were such organizational and offering expenses to exceed 15.0% of our aggregate gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares in such offering, which include actual legal, accounting, printing and other expenses attributable to conducting such offering or other offerings (including our dividend reinvestment plan offering), any organizational documents, qualification of the shares for sale in the states and filing fees incurred by the Investment Advisor, as well as reimbursements for marketing, direct expenses of its employees while engaged in registering and marketing the shares and other marketing and organization costs; |
| | ¡ | | the annual cost of goods and materials used by us, including brokerage fees paid in connection with the purchase and sale of securities; |
| | ¡ | | administrative services including personnel costs; |
| | ¡ | | acquisition expenses, which are defined to include expenses related to the selection and acquisition of properties; |
| | ¡ | | financing expenses; and |
| | ¡ | | operating expenses, subject to certain limitations set forth in the advisory agreement, which includes all expenses paid or incurred by the Investment Advisor or its affiliates as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, such as real estate operating costs, net of reimbursements, management and leasing fees, general and administrative expenses, and legal and accounting expenses. |
The Investment Advisor and its affiliates are paid fees in connection with services provided to us. In the event the advisory agreement is terminated, the Investment Advisor will be paid all accrued and unpaid fees and expense reimbursements. In addition, an affiliate of the Investment Advisor has received one class B limited partnership interest in CBRE OP (representing 100% of the class B interest outstanding) in exchange for the services provided to us relating to our formation and future services. The class B limited partnership interest is subject to redemption by CBRE OP in the event of termination of the advisory agreement.
A majority of the independent trustees, and a majority of trustees not otherwise interested in the transaction, must approve all transactions with the Investment Advisor or any of its affiliates. Until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global Market, our independent trustees must determine from time to time, but at least annually, that our fees and expenses are reasonable in light of our performance, our net assets and net income and the fees and expenses of other comparable unaffiliated REITs. During this period, our independent trustees are also responsible for reviewing the performance of the Investment Advisor and determining that the compensation to be paid to the Investment Advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be performed and that the provisions of the advisory agreement are being carried out. Specifically, our independent trustees consider factors such as:
| | ¡ | | the amount of the fee paid to the Investment Advisor in relation to the size, composition and performance of our investments; |
| | ¡ | | the success of the Investment Advisor in generating appropriate investment opportunities; |
| | ¡ | | rates charged to other REITs and other investors by advisors performing similar services; |
| | ¡ | | additional revenues realized by the Investment Advisor and any of its affiliates through their relationship with us, whether we pay them or they are paid by others with whom we do business; |
| | ¡ | | the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the Investment Advisor and the performance of our investment portfolio; |
9
| | ¡ | | the performance of our investments, including income generation, conservation or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in dealing with distress situations; and |
| | ¡ | | the quality of our portfolio relative to the investments generated by the Investment Advisor for its other clients. |
Until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market, neither our trustees, the Investment Advisor nor their affiliates may vote or consent to the voting of shares they now own or hereafter acquire on matters submitted to the shareholders regarding either (1) the removal of the Investment Advisor, any trustee or any affiliate, or (2) any transaction between us and the Investment Advisor, any trustee or any affiliate.
The Sub-Advisory Agreement
The Investment Advisor has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with CFG VIII, Inc., or the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CNL Financial Group, Inc., is an affiliate of the former dealer manager and is also an affiliate of CNL Financial Group, Inc. Pursuant to this agreement, the Sub-Advisor acts only as an advisor to the Investment Advisor, upon request, and may provide advisory services relating to real estate acquisitions, property management and communications with existing investors and, in addition, provides marketing and other operational services. The term of this agreement may continue so long as the Investment Advisor remains our advisor pursuant to the advisory agreement and it may automatically be extended concurrently with the advisory agreement. The sub-advisory agreement may be terminated by (i) the Investment Advisor for “cause” on 60 days’ written notice or if the managing dealer agreement was terminated pursuant to certain of its terms, or (ii) the Sub-Advisor for a material breach of the agreement which remains uncured after 15 days’ written notice or the bankruptcy of the Investment Advisor. For advisory services relating to real estate acquisitions, property management and communications with existing investors, the Investment Advisor compensates the Sub-Advisor through certain investment management and acquisition fees, which are in an amount equal to approximately 14% to 19%, respectively, of such fees the Investment Advisor receives from us. The Sub-Advisor may also provide certain marketing and operational services to the Investment Advisor, for which it is entitled to receive fees, and the Sub-Advisor is also entitled to reimbursement by the Investment Advisor for certain expenses it incurs. In the event the sub-advisory agreement is terminated, the Sub-Advisor will be paid all accrued and unpaid fees and expense reimbursements. The Investment Advisor retains ultimate responsibility for the performance of all of the matters entrusted to it under the advisory agreement.
Industry Segments
We view our operations as having three consolidated property reportable segments, two Domestic segments, consisting of Domestic Office Properties and Domestic Industrial Properties and an International Office/Retail Properties segment, which participate in the acquisition, development, ownership and operation of high quality real estate assets in their respective regions. Information regarding our reportable segments can be reviewed under Note 10, “Segment Disclosure,” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Geographic Areas of Properties
We currently operate in two consolidated property geographic areas, the United States and the United Kingdom. Information regarding the geographic diversification of our consolidated properties as of December 31, 2011 can be reviewed under Note 9, “Concentrations—Geographic Concentrations,” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2011, we also have ownership interests in (i) CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, which, owned interests in properties in China and Japan, (ii) the Goodman Princeton Holdings (Jersey) Limited joint venture (the “UK JV”), which owned interests in properties in the United Kingdom and (iii) the Goodman Princeton Holdings (LUX) SARL joint venture (the “European JV”), which owned interests in properties in Germany. Information relative to CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, the UK JV and the European JV can be reviewed under Note 5, “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Competition
As we purchase properties to build our portfolio, we are in competition with other potential buyers for the same properties, which may result in an increase in the amount we must pay to acquire a property or may require us to locate another property that meets our investment criteria. Leasing of real estate is also highly competitive in the current market, and we will experience competition for tenants from owners and managers of competing projects. As a result, we may have to provide rent concessions, incur charges for tenant improvements or offer other inducements to enable us to timely lease vacant space, all of which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations. At the time we elect to dispose of our properties, we will also be in competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers.

Risks Related To Our Business
The Investment Advisor has limited experience operating a REIT and we cannot assure you that the past experience of its management will be sufficient to successfully manage our business as a REIT.
The Investment Advisor has limited experience operating a REIT, and the Investment Advisor has limited direct experience in complying with the income, asset and other limitations imposed by the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Those provisions are complex and the failure to comply with those provisions in a timely manner could cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT or could force us to pay unexpected taxes and penalties. The Investment Advisor’s limited experience in managing a portfolio of assets under such constraints may hinder its ability to achieve our investment objectives.
Until the termination or expiration of the advisory agreement, you must rely upon the ability of the Investment Advisor with respect to the selection and timing of investments in and the management of unspecified assets, and you will not have an opportunity to evaluate for yourself the relevant economic, financial and other information regarding the assets in which the remaining proceeds of our follow-on public offering will be invested.
Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay dividends is dependent upon the performance of the Investment Advisor, the real estate market and general economic conditions in the geographic regions where we invest. Until the termination or expiration of the advisory agreement you must rely on the Investment Advisor in the selection of assets. See Item 1 “Business—The Advisory Agreement.” We cannot be sure that the Investment Advisor will be successful in obtaining suitable investments on financially attractive terms or that, if investments are made, our objectives will be achieved. Furthermore, you should be aware that any appraisals we obtain are merely estimates of value and should not be relied upon as accurate measures of true worth or realizable value. Moreover, delays in investing the remaining net proceeds of our follow-on public offering may reduce our income. Our shareholders will not have the opportunity to evaluate the manner in which the remaining net proceeds received by us from our follow-on public offering is to be invested or the economic merits of particular assets to be acquired.
We are dependent on the Investment Advisor and may not find a suitable replacement if the advisory agreement is terminated or not renewed, in which case we may not be able to operate our business.
We have no employees and rely on the Investment Advisor, which has significant discretion as to the implementation and execution of our operating policies and strategies. We depend on the diligence, skill and network of business contacts of the management of the Investment Advisor. We can offer no assurance the Investment Advisor will remain our investment advisor or that we will continue to have access to the Investment Advisor’s professionals. We are subject to the risk that the advisory agreement may be terminated by either party. If the advisory agreement is terminated or not renewed and no suitable replacement is found to manage us or key personnel leave the Investment Advisor, we may not be able to execute our business plan. See Item 1 “Business—The Advisory Agreement.”
If the Investment Advisor loses or is unable to obtain key personnel, our ability to implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of certain key personnel of the Investment Advisor who would be difficult to replace. None of our key personnel are currently subject to employment agreements with us, nor do we maintain any key person life insurance on these key personnel. If the Investment Advisor were to lose the benefit of the experience, efforts and abilities of one or more of these individuals, our operating results could suffer. We also believe that our future success depends, in large part, upon the Investment Advisor’s ability to obtain and retain highly skilled managerial, operational and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we cannot assure you the Investment Advisor will be successful in attracting and retaining such skilled personnel.
Your investment return may be reduced if we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
We do not intend to invest in marketable securities, and we do not intend to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Investment Company Act”). If we were obligated to register as an investment company, we would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under the Investment Company Act that impose, among other things:
| | ¡ | | limitations on capital structure; |
| | ¡ | | restrictions on specified investments; |
14
| | ¡ | | prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; and |
| | ¡ | | compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations that would significantly increase our operating expenses. |
In general, we expect to be able to rely on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act. In order to qualify for this exemption, at least 55% of our portfolio must be comprised of real property and mortgages and other liens on an interest in real estate (collectively, “qualifying assets”) and at least 80% of our portfolio must be comprised of real estate-related assets. Qualifying assets include mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities that represent the entire ownership in a pool of mortgage loans and other interests in real estate. In order to maintain our exemption from registering as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we must continue to engage primarily in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring real estate.
To maintain compliance with exemption from registration provided by section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act, we may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell, and may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish to retain. In addition, we may have to acquire additional income or loss generating assets that we might not otherwise have acquired or may have to forego opportunities to acquire interests in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire and would be important to our investment strategy. If we were required to register as an investment company, our business would be adversely affected and we would be prohibited from engaging in our business as currently contemplated because the Investment Company Act imposes significant limitations on leverage. In addition, we would have to seek to restructure the advisory agreement because the compensation that it contemplates would not comply with the Investment Company Act. Criminal and civil actions could also be brought against us if we failed to comply with the Investment Company Act. In addition, our contracts could be unenforceable unless a court was to require enforcement, and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of us and liquidate our business. Although we intend to monitor our portfolio, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our exemption from registering as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Further, the SEC recently solicited public comment on a wide range of issues relating to Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act, including the nature of the assets that qualify for purposes of the exemption and leverage used by mortgage related vehicles. There can be no assurance that the laws and regulations governing the Investment Company Act status of companies primarily owning real estate related assets, including the SEC or its staff providing more specific or different guidance regarding these exemptions, will not change in a manner that adversely affects our operations. To the extent that the SEC or its staff provides more specific or different guidance, we may be required to adjust our strategy accordingly. Any additional guidance from the SEC staff could provide additional flexibility to us, or it could further inhibit our ability to pursue the strategies we have chosen.
Conflicts of Interest Risks
The Investment Advisor faces conflicts of interest relating to time management.
Although the Investment Advisor does not currently advise any other real estate investment programs, the Investment Advisor’s affiliates, including CBRE Global Investors, are sponsors of other real estate programs having investment objectives and legal and financial obligations similar to ours and certain members of the management team of the Investment Advisor may also work with or for other affiliates. In addition, one or more real estate investment programs sponsored by affiliates of the Sub-Advisor may seek to invest in properties and other real estate-related investments similar to the assets we seek to acquire. As a result, they may have interests in other real estate programs and also engage in other business activities, and may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between our business and these other activities. During times of intense activity in other programs and ventures, they may devote less time and resources to our business than is necessary or appropriate. If the Investment Advisor, for any reason, is not able to provide investment opportunities to us consistent with our investment objectives in a timely manner, we may have lower returns on our investments.
The Investment Advisor faces conflicts of interest relating to the purchase and leasing of assets.
We may be buying assets at the same time as other existing or future affiliates of the Investment Advisor are buying assets. There is a risk that the Investment Advisor will choose an asset that provides lower returns to us than an asset purchased by an affiliate of the Investment Advisor. We may acquire assets in geographic areas where other affiliates own assets. If another affiliate attracts a tenant that we are competing for, we could suffer a loss of revenue due to delays in locating another suitable tenant.
15
The Investment Advisor may have conflicting fiduciary obligations if we acquire or develop properties with its affiliates or other related entities; as a result, in any such transaction we may not have the benefit of arm’s length negotiations of the type normally conducted between unrelated parties.
The Investment Advisor may cause us to acquire an interest in a property from or developed a property with its affiliates or through a joint venture with its affiliates or to dispose of an interest in a property to its affiliates. In these circumstances, the Investment Advisor will have a conflict of interest when fulfilling its fiduciary obligation to us. In any such transaction we may not have the benefit of arm’s length negotiations of the type normally conducted between unrelated parties.
We pay substantial fees and expenses to the Investment Advisor, and its affiliates and paid substantial fees to the former dealer manager, which payments increase the risk that you will not earn a profit on your investment.
The Investment Advisor and its affiliates perform services for us in connection with the selection and acquisition of our investments, the management and leasing of our properties and the administration of our other investments. We pay the Investment Advisor an acquisition fee that is not tied to the performance of our portfolio. The Investment Advisor is a party to a sub-advisory agreement with the CFG VIII, Inc. and the Investment Advisor will compensate the Sub-Advisor through certain fees and reimbursable expenses the Investment Advisor receives from us. We paid fees and commissions to the former dealer manager in our prior public offerings. We also have issued to CBRE REIT Holdings LLC, an affiliate of the Investment Advisor, one class B limited partnership interest (representing 100% of the class B interest outstanding) in CBRE OP in exchange for the services provided to us relating to our formation and future services. CBRE Global Investors (including certain of its executive officers) and our executive officers own an aggregate 75.1% distribution interest and affiliates of the former dealer manager own an aggregate 24.9% distribution interest (excluding distributions that CBRE Global Investors is entitled to with respect to 29,937 class A units) in CBRE REIT Holdings LLC. These fees and partnership interest distributions reduce the amount of cash available for investment in properties or distribution to shareholders. These fees also increase the risk that the amount available for distribution to common shareholders upon a liquidation of our portfolio would be less than the purchase price of the shares in our public offerings and that you may not earn a profit on your investment.
Termination of the Advisory Agreement could be costly.
If the advisory agreement is terminated without cause, CBRE OP will redeem the class B limited partnership interest for a newly created class of partnership interest, which we refer to as the advisor redemption interest, which shall initially have a capital account equal to the fair value of the class B limited partnership interest as of such date, and if the advisory agreement is terminated for cause, CBRE OP will redeem the class B limited partnership interest for $100. These provisions may increase the effective cost to us of terminating the advisory agreement, thereby discouraging us from terminating the Investment Advisor without cause.
Certain of our officers and trustees face conflicts of interest.
One of our trustees serves as the President, Managed Accounts Group of CBRE Global Investors. Our Chief Financial Officer serves as a Managing Director of the Investment Advisor, as the Executive Managing Director and Global Head of Investment Reporting of CBRE Global Investors and as a member of the investment committee of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, an entity in which we are a limited partner. Our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Investment Advisor and also serves as an Executive Managing Director of CBRE Global Investors. Our Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President serves as the Director of Operations of the Investment Advisor and also serves as a Managing Director of CBRE Global Investors. Our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer directly hold an aggregate of approximately a 12.9% economic interest in the Investment Advisor. These individuals owe fiduciary duties to these entities and their shareholders. Such fiduciary duties may from time to time conflict with the fiduciary duties owed to our shareholders and us. An affiliate of the Investment Advisor owns one class B limited partnership interest (representing 100% of the class B interest outstanding) in CBRE OP. This interest entitles such affiliate to receive distributions in an amount equal to a percentage of the net proceeds we receive from a sale of a property after certain amounts are paid or provided for. This interest may incentivize the Investment Advisor to recommend the sale of a property or properties that may not be in our best interest at the time. In addition, the premature sale of a property may add concentration risk to the portfolio or may be at a price lower than if we held on to the property and sold it at a later date.
16
We will be subject to additional risks as a result of any joint ventures.
We have entered, and may in the future enter, into joint ventures for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties. We have purchased and developed, and may in the future purchase and develop, properties in joint ventures or in partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with sellers of properties, affiliates of sellers, developers or other persons. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present with an investment in real estate, including, for example:
| | ¡ | | the possibility that our co-venturer, co-tenant or partner in an investment might become bankrupt; |
| | ¡ | | that maturities of debt encumbering our jointly owned investments may not be able to be refinanced at all or on terms that are as favorable as the current terms; |
| | ¡ | | that such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals which are or become inconsistent with our business interests or goals; |
| | ¡ | | that such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives; or |
| | ¡ | | that we will not manage the properties, or be able to select the management for the property, that a joint venture owns |
Actions by such a co-venturer, co-tenant or partner might have the result of subjecting the property to liabilities in excess of those contemplated and may have the effect of reducing your returns. We have ownership interests in five unconsolidated entities that, as of December 31, 2011, owned interests in 53 properties.
It may be difficult for us to exit a joint venture after an impasse.
In our joint ventures, there will be a potential risk of impasse in some business decisions because our approval and the approval of each co-venturer may be required for some significant operating decisions. In any joint venture, we may have the right to buy the other co-venturer’s interest or to sell our own interest on specified terms and conditions in the event of an impasse. In the event of an impasse, it is possible that neither party will have the funds necessary to complete a buy-out. In addition, we may experience difficulty in locating a third-party purchaser for our joint venture interest and in obtaining a favorable sale price for the interest. As a result, it is possible that we may not be able to exit the relationship if an impasse develops.
Our ability to redeem all or a portion of our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is subject to significant restrictions.
CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is not obligated to redeem the interests of any of its investors, including us, prior to 2017. Except in certain limited circumstances such as transfers to affiliates or successor trustees or state agencies, we will not be permitted to sell our interest in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia without the prior written consent of the general partner, which the general partner may withhold in its sole discretion. Further, there is a limited market for these interests and, therefore, any sale of the interests would likely be effected at a discount.
General Investment Risks
No market currently exists for our common shares. If you are able to sell your shares, you would likely have to sell them at a substantial discount.
There is no current market for our shares and, therefore, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares promptly. We cannot assure you that any trading market will develop or, if developed, that any such market will be sustained. Additionally, our declaration of trust contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of our shares, and these restrictions may inhibit your ability to sell your shares. You may not sell your shares unless the buyer meets applicable suitability and minimum purchase standards. Therefore, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares promptly or at all. In addition, the price received for any shares sold is likely to be less than the proportionate value of the real estate we own. Therefore, you should purchase our shares only as a long-term investment.
We sold our common shares in a fixed price offering, and will continue to sell shares pursuant to our amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan in a fixed price offering. The fixed offering price may not accurately represent the current value of our assets at any particular time; therefore, the purchase price paid for our common shares may be higher than the value of our assets per common share at the time of purchase.
Our public offerings were fixed price offerings, which means that the offering price for our common shares was fixed and did not vary based on the underlying value of our assets at any time. Our Board of Trustees arbitrarily determined the offering price in its sole discretion. Shares in our public offerings were sold at a price per share of $10.00 and shares were sold pursuant to the plan at a price
17
of $9.50 per share. In the dividend reinvestment plan offering, shares will be sold initially at a price of $9.50 per share. In the event that our Board of Trustees determines that the fair market value of our common shares has changed, common shares will thereafter be sold pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan at a price determined by our board of trustees, which price shall not be less than 95% of the fair market value of a common share on the reinvestment date (including any administrative costs paid by us on participants’ behalf) as so determined.
The fixed offering price for our common shares does not reflect and continues not to reflect, and is not derived from, the fair market value of our properties and other assets nor does it represent the amount of net proceeds that would result from an immediate liquidation of those assets, because the amount of proceeds available for investment from our public offerings was net of selling commissions, dealer manager fees, other organization and offering costs and acquisition fees and expenses. Further, the fixed price of our common shares at any time does not take into account how market fluctuations affect the value of our investments, including how the current disruptions in the financial and real estate markets may affect the values of our investments and how developments related to individual assets may have increased or decreased the value of our portfolio. Therefore, the fixed offering price established for our common shares may not accurately represent the current or future value of the assets per share of our common shares at any particular time, and if a valuation were to occur, the value per share may be less than the price for which such shares were sold.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of integrated internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
We are required to report our operations on a consolidated basis under GAAP and, in some cases, on a property-by-property basis. If we fail to maintain proper overall business controls, our results of operations could be harmed or we could fail to meet our reporting obligations. In addition, the existence of a material weakness or significant deficiency could result in errors in our financial statements that could require a restatement, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and cause shareholders to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
Restrictions on ownership of a controlling percentage of our shares may limit your opportunity to receive a premium on your shares.
To assist us in complying with the share ownership requirements necessary for us to qualify as a REIT, our declaration of trust prohibits, with certain exceptions, direct or constructive ownership by any person of more than 3.0% by number or value, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common shares or more than 3.0% by number or value, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding shares. Our Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, may exempt a person from the share ownership limit. Additionally, our declaration of trust prohibits direct or constructive ownership of our shares that would otherwise result in our failure to qualify as a REIT. The constructive ownership rules in our declaration of trust are complex and may cause the outstanding shares owned by a group of related individuals or entities to be deemed to be constructively owned by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than any ownership limit by an individual or entity could cause that individual or entity to own constructively in excess of any ownership limit of our outstanding shares. Any attempt to own or transfer our shares in excess of the ownership limit without the consent of our Board of Trustees shall be void, and will result in the shares being transferred to a charitable trust. These provisions may inhibit market activity and the resulting opportunity for our shareholders to receive a premium for their shares that might otherwise exist if any person were to attempt to assemble a block of our shares in excess of the number of shares permitted under our declaration of trust and which may be in the best interests of our shareholders.
Maryland takeover statutes could restrict a change of control, which could have the affect of inhibiting a change in control even if a change in control were in our shareholders’ interests.
Under Maryland law, certain “business combinations” between a Maryland REIT and an interested shareholder or an affiliate of an interested shareholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or asset transfers or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested shareholder is defined as:
| | ¡ | | any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our company’s shares; or |
| | ¡ | | an affiliate or associate of our company who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting shares of our company. |
A person is not an interested shareholder under the statute if our Board of Trustees approves in advance the transaction by which he otherwise would have become an interested shareholder.
18
After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland REIT and an interested shareholder generally must be recommended by our Board of Trustees and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:
| | ¡ | | 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting shares of our company; and |
| | ¡ | | 66% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting shares of our company other than shares held by the interested shareholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or by the interested shareholder’s affiliates or associates, voting together as a single group. |
The business combination statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer, including potential acquisitions that might involve a premium price for our common shares or otherwise be in the best interest of our shareholders.
Our Board of Trustees has adopted a resolution exempting our company from the provisions of the Maryland General Corporate Law (the “MGCL”) relating to business combinations with interested shareholders or affiliates of interested shareholders. However, such resolution can be altered or repealed, in whole or in part, at any time by our Board of Trustees. If such resolution is repealed, the business combination statute could have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us and of increasing the difficulty of consummating these offers, even if our acquisition would be in our shareholders’ best interests.
Maryland law also limits the ability of a third-party to buy a large stake in us and exercise voting power in electing trustees.
The MGCL, as applicable to REITs, provides that “control shares” of a Maryland real estate investment trust acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares owned by the acquire, by officers or by directors who are employees of the corporation. “Control shares” are voting shares that would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing trustees within specified ranges of voting power. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained shareholder approval. A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of control shares. The control share acquisition statute does not apply (i) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if we are a party to the transaction, or (ii) to acquisitions approved or exempted by our declaration of trust or bylaws. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the control share acquisition statute any and all acquisitions by any person of our shares. We cannot assure you that such provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future. If such provision is eliminated, the control share acquisition statute could have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us and increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if our acquisition would be in our shareholders’ best interests.
You are limited in your ability to sell your shares pursuant to our share redemption program.
Our share redemption program provides you with the opportunity, on a quarterly basis, to request that we redeem all or a portion of your shares after you have held them for one year, subject to certain restrictions and limitations. In the event that an existing shareholder presents fewer than all of his or her shares to us for redemption, such shareholder must present at least 25% of his or her shares to us for redemption and must retain at least $5,000 of common shares if any shares are held after such redemption. Shares will be redeemed only to the extent of cash available after the payment of dividends necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT and to avoid the payment of any U.S. federal income tax or excise tax on our net taxable income or from, at the sole discretion of our Board of Trustees, other sources. This will significantly limit our ability to redeem your shares. To the extent our available cash flow is insufficient to fund all redemption requests, each shareholder’s request will be reduced on a pro rata basis, unless you withdraw your request for redemption or ask that we carry over your request to the next quarterly period, if any, when sufficient funds become available. Our Board of Trustees reserves the right to amend or terminate the share redemption program at any time. Our Board of Trustees has delegated to our officers the right to waive the one-year holding period and pro rata redemption requirements in the event of the death, disability (as such term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code) or bankruptcy of a shareholder. You will have no right to request redemption of your shares should our shares become listed on a national exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global Market. Therefore, in making a decision to purchase shares, you should not assume that you will be able to sell any of your shares back to us pursuant to our share redemption program.
We may be unable to pay or maintain cash distributions or increase distributions over time.
There are many factors that can affect the availability and timing of cash distributions to shareholders. Cash distributions will be based principally on cash available from our operations. The amount of cash available for distributions is affected by many factors, such as our ability to buy properties as offering proceeds become available, rental income from such properties, and our operating expense levels, as well as many other variables. Actual cash available for distributions may vary substantially from estimates. We cannot assure
19
investors that we will be able to pay or maintain our current anticipated level of distributions or that distributions will increase over time. We cannot give any assurance that rents from the properties will increase, or that future acquisitions of real properties or other real estate assets will increase our cash available for distributions to shareholders. Our actual results may differ significantly from the assumptions used by our Board of Trustees in establishing the distribution rate to shareholders. We may not have sufficient legally available cash from operations to make a distribution required to qualify for or maintain our REIT status. We may increase borrowings or use proceeds from our follow-on public offering to make distributions, each of which could be deemed to be a return of investors’ capital. We may make distributions from the proceeds of our follow-on public offering or from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flow. Any such distributions will constitute a return of capital and may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in properties and negatively impact the value of investors’ investment.
The amount and timing of cash dividends is uncertain.
Subject to certain limitations, we bear all expenses incurred in our operations, which reduces cash generated by operations and amounts available for distribution to our shareholders. In addition, our Board of Trustees, in its discretion, may retain any portion of such funds for working capital, subject to the REIT distribution requirements. We have not set any future dividend payment amount and cannot assure you that sufficient cash will be available to pay dividends to you.
We are uncertain of our sources for funding of future capital needs.
In the event that we develop a need for additional capital in the future for the improvement of our assets or for any other reason, we will need to identify sources for such funding, other than reserves we may establish, and we cannot assure you that such sources of funding will be available to us for capital needs in the future.
We are authorized to issue preferred shares. The issuance of preferred shares could adversely affect the holders of our common shares issued pursuant to our public offerings.
Our declaration of trust authorizes us to issue 1,000,000,000 shares, of which 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred shares. Subject to approval by our Board of Trustees, we may issue preferred shares with rights, preferences, and privileges that are more beneficial than the rights, preferences, and privileges of our common shares. Holders of our common shares do not have preemptive rights to acquire any shares issued by us in the future. If we ever create and issue preferred shares with a distribution preference over common shares, payment of any distribution preferences on outstanding preferred shares would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of distributions on our common shares. In addition, holders of preferred shares are normally entitled to receive a preference payment in the event we liquidate, dissolve or wind up before any payment is made to our common shareholders, thereby reducing the amount a common shareholder might otherwise receive upon such an occurrence. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred shares may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.
Our Board of Trustees may change our investment policies without shareholder approval, which could alter the nature of investors’ investments.
Our declaration of trust requires that our independent trustees review our investment policies at least annually to determine that the policies we are following are in the best interest of the shareholders. These policies may change over time. The methods of implementing our investment policies may also vary, as new real estate development trends emerge and new investment techniques are developed. Our investment policies, the methods for their implementation, and our other objectives, policies and procedures may be altered by our Board of Trustees without the approval of our shareholders. As a result, the nature of investors’ investments could change without investors’ consent.
We may become subject to litigation, which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
We may become subject to litigation, including claims relating to our operations, offerings, and otherwise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims may result in significant defense costs and potentially significant judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, insured against. We generally intend to defend ourselves vigorously; however, we cannot be certain of the ultimate outcomes of any claims that may arise in the future. Resolution of these types of matters against us may result in our having to pay significant fines, judgments, or settlements, which, if uninsured, or if the fines, judgments, and settlements exceed insured levels, could adversely impact our earnings and cash flows, thereby having an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and trustees.
20
General Real Estate Risks
Real estate investments are long-term illiquid investments and may be difficult to sell in response to changing economic conditions.
Real estate investments are subject to certain inherent risks. Real estate investments are generally long-term investments that cannot be quickly converted to cash. Real estate investments are also subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions or local conditions that may reduce the demand for office, industrial, retail and multi-family residential or other types of properties. Other factors can also affect real estate values, including:
| | ¡ | | possible international and U.S. federal, state or local regulations and controls affecting rents, prices of goods, fuel and energy consumption and prices, water and environmental restrictions; |
| | ¡ | | increasing labor and material costs; |
| | ¡ | | the perceptions of tenants and prospective tenants of the convenience, attractiveness and safety of our properties; |
| | ¡ | | competition from comparable properties; |
| | ¡ | | the occupancy rate of our properties; |
| | ¡ | | the ability to collect on a timely basis all rents from tenants; |
| | ¡ | | the effects of any bankruptcies or insolvencies of major tenants; |
| | ¡ | | acts of nature, including earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters (which may result in uninsured losses); |
| | ¡ | | acts of terrorism or war; |
| | ¡ | | rises in operating costs, taxes and insurance costs; |
| | ¡ | | changes in interest rates and in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funding; and |
| | ¡ | | other factors which are beyond our control. |
Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.
We expect that we will incur additional indebtedness in the future. Interest we pay could reduce cash available for distributions. Additionally, if we incur variable rate debt, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which would reduce our cash flows and our ability to pay dividends to you. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments in properties at times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.
Adverse economic conditions in the geographic regions in which we purchase properties may negatively impact your overall returns.
Adverse economic conditions in the geographic regions in which we buy our properties could affect real estate values in these regions and, to the extent that any of our tenants in these regions rely upon the local economy for their revenues, our tenants’ businesses could also be affected by such conditions. Therefore, changes in local economic conditions could reduce our ability to pay dividends and the amounts we could otherwise receive upon a sale of a property in a negatively affected region.
Adverse economic conditions affecting the particular industries of our tenants may negatively impact your overall returns.
Adverse economic conditions affecting a particular industry of one or more of our tenants could affect the financial ability of one or more of our tenants to make payments under their leases, which could cause delays in our receipt of rental revenues or a vacancy in one or more of our properties for a period of time. Therefore, changes in economic conditions of the particular industry of one or more of our tenants could reduce our ability to pay dividends and the value of one or more of our properties at the time of sale of such properties.
Because we are dependent on our tenants for substantially all of our revenue, our success is materially dependent on the financial stability of our tenants.
Lease payment defaults by tenants could cause us to reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders. A default of a tenant on its lease payments would cause us to lose the revenue from the property. In the event of such a default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and leasing our property. If a lease is
21
terminated, we cannot assure you that we will be able to lease the property for the rent previously received or sell the property without incurring a loss. Further, we may be required to make rent or other concessions to tenants, accommodate requests for renovations, build-to-suit remodeling and other improvements or provide additional services to our tenants. As a result, we may have to make significant capital or other expenditures in order to retain tenants whose leases expire and to attract new tenants in sufficient numbers. A default by a tenant, the failure of a guarantor to fulfill its obligations or other premature termination of a lease, or a tenant’s election not to extend a lease upon its expiration, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to pay distributions. Certain of our properties are occupied by only a single tenant and, therefore, the success of those properties will be materially dependent on the financial stability of such tenants.
If one or more of our tenants file for bankruptcy protection, we may be precluded from collecting all sums due.
If one or more of our tenants, or the guarantor of a tenant’s lease, commences, or has commenced against it, any proceeding under any provision of the U.S. federal bankruptcy code, as amended, or any other legal or equitable proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation, receivership or debtor’s relief statute or law (bankruptcy proceeding), we may be unable to collect sums due under relevant leases. Any or all of the tenants, or a guarantor of a tenant’s lease obligations, could be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Such a bankruptcy proceeding may bar our efforts to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from these entities or their properties, unless we are able to obtain an enabling order from the bankruptcy court. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would only have a general unsecured claim against the tenant, and may not be entitled to any further payments under the lease. A tenant’s or lease guarantor’s bankruptcy proceeding could hinder or delay efforts to collect past due balances under relevant leases, and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. Such an event could cause a decrease or cessation of rental payments which would mean a reduction in our cash flow and the amount available for distribution to our shareholders. In the event of a bankruptcy proceeding, we cannot assure you that the tenant or its trustee will assume our lease. If a given lease, or guaranty of a lease, is not assumed, our cash flow and the amounts available for distribution to our shareholders may be adversely affected.
If our tenants are unable to secure financing necessary to continue to operate their businesses and pay us rent, we could be materially and adversely affected.
Many of our tenants rely on external sources of financing to operate their businesses. The U.S. financial and credit markets continue to experience significant liquidity disruptions, resulting in the unavailability of financing for many businesses. If our tenants are unable to secure financing necessary to continue to operate their businesses, they may be unable to meet their rent obligations or be forced to declare bankruptcy and reject their leases, which could materially and adversely affect us.
If third party managers providing property management services for certain of our properties or their personnel are negligent in their performance of, or default on, their management obligations, our tenants may not renew their leases or we may become subject to unforeseen liabilities. If this occurs, our financial condition and operating results, as well as our ability to pay dividends to shareholders at historical levels or at all, could be substantially harmed.
We have entered into agreements with third party management companies and certain affiliates of CBRE Global Investors to provide property management services for certain of our properties, and we expect to enter into similar agreements with respect to properties we acquire in the future. We cannot supervise these third party managers and their personnel on a day-to-day basis and we cannot assure you that they will manage our properties in a manner that is consistent with their obligations under our agreements, that they will not be negligent in their performance or engage in other criminal or fraudulent activity, or that these managers will not otherwise default on their management obligations to us. If any of the foregoing occurs, our relationships with our tenants could be damaged, which may prevent the tenants from renewing their leases, and we could incur liabilities resulting from loss or injury to our properties or to persons at our properties. If we are unable to lease our properties or we become subject to significant liabilities as a result of third party management performance issues, our operating results and financial condition, as well as our ability to pay distributions to our shareholders, could be adversely affected.
We may obtain only limited warranties when we purchase a property and would have only limited recourse in the event our due diligence did not identify any issues that lower the value of our property.
The seller of a property often sells such property in its “as is” condition on a “where is” basis and “with all faults,” without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase agreements may contain only limited
22
warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. The purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk that we may lose some or all of our invested capital in the property as well as the loss of rental income from that property.
We may not have funding for future tenant improvements, which may reduce your returns and make it difficult to attract one or more new tenants.
When a tenant at one of our properties does not renew its lease or otherwise vacates its space in one of our buildings, it is likely that, in order to attract one or more new tenants, we will be required to expend substantial funds for tenant improvements and tenant refurbishments to the vacated space and other lease-up costs. Substantially all of our net offering proceeds available for investment may be used for investment in real estate properties. We may maintain working capital reserves but cannot guarantee they will be adequate. We also have no identified funding source to provide funds that may be required in the future for tenant improvements, tenant refurbishments and other lease-up costs in order to attract new tenants. We cannot assure you that any such source of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future and, to the extent we are required to use net cash from operations to fund such tenant improvements, tenant refurbishments and other lease-up costs, cash distributions to our shareholders will be reduced.
The actual rents we receive for the properties in our portfolio may be less than our asking rents, and we may experience lease roll down from time to time, which could negatively impact our ability to generate cash flow growth.
As a result of various factors, including potential competitive pricing pressure specific to certain submarkets, general economic weakness and the desirability of our properties compared to other properties in our submarkets, we may be unable to realize the asking rents across the properties in our portfolio. In addition, the degree of discrepancy between our asking rents and the actual rents we are able to obtain may vary both from property to property and among different leased spaces within a single property. If we are unable to obtain rental rates that are on average comparable to our asking rents across our portfolio, then our ability to generate cash flow growth will be negatively impacted. In addition, depending on asking rental rates at any given time as compared to expiring leases in our portfolio, from time to time rental rates for expiring leases may be higher than starting rental rates for new leases.
A property that incurs a significant vacancy could be difficult to sell or lease.
A property may incur a vacancy either by the continued default of a tenant under its lease or the expiration of one of our leases. Some of our properties may be specifically suited to the particular needs of the tenant based on the type of business the tenant operates. As of December 31, 2011, leases representing 5.88% of our annualized base rent are scheduled to expire during 2012. We cannot assure you that leases will be renewed or that our properties will be re-let at rental rates equal to or above our current average rental rates or that substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options will not be offered to attract new tenants or retain existing tenants. We may have difficulty obtaining a new tenant for any vacant space in our properties, particularly if the space limits the types of businesses that can use the space without major renovation. If a vacancy on any of our properties continues for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash to be distributed to shareholders. In addition, the resale value of the property could be diminished because the market value of a particular property may depend principally upon the value of the leases of such property.
We may experience a decline in the fair value of our assets, which may have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
A decline in the fair market value of our assets may require us to recognize a permanent impairment against such assets under GAAP if we were to determine that, we do not have the ability and intent to hold such assets to maturity or for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery to the amortized cost of such assets. If such a determination were to be made, we would recognize unrealized losses through earnings and write down the amortized cost of such assets to a new cost basis, based on the fair value of such assets on the date they are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired. Such impairment charges reflect non-cash losses at the time of recognition; subsequent disposition or sale of such assets could further affect our future losses or gains, as they are based on the difference between the sale price received and adjusted amortized cost of such assets at the time of sale.
Uninsured losses relating to real property may adversely affect your returns.
In the event that any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully covered by insurance, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss. In addition, we may have limited funding to repair or reconstruct the damaged property, and we cannot assure you that any such source of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future. Furthermore, insurance may be unavailable or uneconomical. In particular, insurance coverage relating to flood or earthquake damage or terrorist acts may not be available or affordable.
23
Development and construction of our properties may result in delays and increased costs and risks.
We have invested, and may in the future invest, some or all of the net proceeds available for investment in the acquisition and development of properties upon which we (or a joint venture partner) will develop and construct improvements. We will be subject to the following risks associated with such development and redevelopment activities:
| | ¡ | | unsuccessful development or redevelopment opportunities could result in direct expenses to us; |
| | ¡ | | construction or redevelopment costs of a project may exceed original estimates, possibly making the project less profitable than originally estimated, or unprofitable; |
| | ¡ | | time required to complete the construction or redevelopment of a project or to lease up the completed project may be greater than originally anticipated, thereby adversely affecting our cash flow and liquidity; |
| | ¡ | | contractor and subcontractor disputes, strikes, labor disputes or supply disruptions; |
| | ¡ | | the builder’s failure to perform may necessitate legal action by us to rescind the purchase or the construction contract or to compel performance; |
| | ¡ | | we may incur additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or other advances to such builders prior to completion of construction; |
| | ¡ | | failure to achieve expected occupancy and/or rent levels within the projected time frame, if at all (delays in completion of construction could also give tenants the right to terminate pre-construction leases for space at a newly developed project); |
| | ¡ | | delays with respect to obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary zoning, occupancy, land use and other governmental permits, and changes in zoning and land use laws; |
| | ¡ | | occupancy rates and rents of a completed project may not be sufficient to make the project profitable; |
| | ¡ | | if our projections of rental income and expenses and estimates of the fair market value of a property upon completion of construction are inaccurate, we may pay too much for a property; |
| | ¡ | | our ability to dispose of properties developed or redeveloped with the intent to sell could be impacted by the ability of prospective buyers to obtain financing given the current state of the credit markets; and |
| | ¡ | | the availability and pricing of financing to fund our development activities on favorable terms or at all. |
Factors such as those discussed above can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment, which could adversely impact our ability to make distributions to our shareholders. In addition, we may not be able to find suitable tenants to lease our newly constructed projects. Furthermore, we must rely upon projections of rental income and expenses and estimates of the fair market value of a property upon completion of construction when agreeing upon a price to be paid for the property at the time of acquisition of the property. If our projections are inaccurate, we may pay too much for a property.
Competition for investments may increase costs and reduce returns.
The current market for acquisitions is extremely competitive. We experience competition for real property investments from corporations, other real estate investment trusts, pension plans and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities. This competition may increase the demand for the types of properties in which we typically invest and, therefore, reduce the number of suitable acquisition opportunities available to us and increase the prices paid for such acquisition properties. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investments may increase. This competition will increase if investments in real estate become more attractive relative to other forms of investment. Any such increase would result in increased demand for these assets and therefore increased prices paid for them. If we pay higher prices for properties and other investments, our profitability will be reduced and investors may experience a lower return on their investments.
Delays in acquisitions of properties may adversely affect your investment and reduce returns.
Delays we encounter in the selection, acquisition and development of properties could adversely affect your returns. When we acquire properties prior to the start of construction or during the early stages of construction, it typically takes several months to complete construction and rent available space. Therefore, you could suffer delays in the distribution of cash dividends attributable to any such properties.
Uncertain market conditions and the broad discretion of the Investment Advisor relating to the future disposition of properties could adversely affect the return on your investment.
We intend to hold the various real properties in which we invest until such time as the Investment Advisor, subject to the approval of our Board of Trustees, determines that the sale or other disposition thereof appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment
24
objectives or until it appears that such objectives will not be met. We cannot predict with any certainty the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future. Due to the uncertainty of market conditions that may affect the future disposition of our properties, we cannot assure you that we will be able to sell our properties at a profit in the future. Accordingly, the extent to which you will receive cash distributions and realize potential appreciation on our real estate investments will be dependent upon fluctuating market conditions.
General economic conditions may affect the timing of the sale of our properties and the purchase price we receive.
We may be unable to sell a property if or when we decide to do so. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, the availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand for real estate investments, all of which are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on terms that are acceptable to us. Further, we cannot predict the length of time that will be needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property.
We may acquire or finance properties with lock-out provisions, which may prohibit us from selling a property, or may require us to maintain specified debt levels for a period of years on some properties.
Lock-out provisions, which preclude pre-payments of a loan, could materially restrict us from selling or otherwise disposing of or refinancing properties. These provisions would affect our ability to turn our investments into cash and thus affect cash available for distributions to investors. Lock-out provisions may prohibit us from reducing the outstanding indebtedness with respect to any properties, refinancing such indebtedness on a non-recourse basis at maturity, or increasing the amount of indebtedness with respect to such properties. Lock-out provisions could impair our ability to take other actions during the lock-out period that could be in the best interests of our shareholders and, therefore, may have an adverse impact on the value of the shares, relative to the value that would result if the lock-out provisions did not exist. In particular, lock-out provisions could preclude us from participating in major transactions that could result in a disposition of our assets or a change in control even though that disposition or change in control might be in the best interests of our shareholders.
A concentration of our investments in a limited number of property classes may leave our profitability vulnerable to a downturn in such sectors.
At any one time, a significant portion of our property investments may be in a limited number of property classes. As of December 31, 2011, a majority of our investments were in two property classes, office and industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution). As a result, we are subject to risks inherent in investments in these classes. The potential effects on our revenues, and as a result on cash available for distribution to our shareholders, resulting from a downturn in the business conducted on those properties could be more pronounced than if we had a more diversified portfolio.
Geographic concentration of our portfolio may make us particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in those geographic areas.
A concentration of our properties in a particular geographic area may impact our operating results and abilities to make distributions if that area is impacted by negative economic developments. Your investment will be subject to greater risk to the extent that we lack a geographically diversified portfolio. As of December 31, 2011, approximately 17.45% of our portfolio (based on approximate total acquisition costs, with our unconsolidated properties included at our pro rate share of effective ownership, however, excluding our investments in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia) consisted of properties located in New Jersey.
We are particularly susceptible to adverse economic or other conditions in these markets (such as periods of economic slowdown or recession, business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, increases in real estate and other taxes and the cost of complying with governmental regulations or increased regulation), as well as to natural disasters that occur in these markets. Our financial condition and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders would be adversely affected by any significant adverse developments in those markets. We cannot assure you that these markets will grow or that underlying real estate fundamentals will be favorable to owners and operators of properties similar to ours. Our operations may also be affected if competing properties are built in either of these markets. Moreover, submarkets within any of our core markets may be dependent upon a limited number of industries.
25
Economic conditions may adversely affect our income.
Our business may be affected by potential adverse market and economic conditions experienced by the economy or real estate industry as a whole or by local economic conditions in the markets in which our properties are located, including potential dislocations in the credit markets and an elevated rate of unemployment. Such economic weakness may reduce demand for space and remove support for rents and property values.
A commercial property’s income and value may be adversely affected by national and regional economic conditions, local real estate conditions such as an oversupply of properties or a reduction in demand for properties, availability of “for sale” properties, competition from other similar properties, our ability to provide adequate maintenance, insurance and management services, increased operating costs (including real estate taxes), the attractiveness and location of the property and changes in market rental rates. Changes or fluctuations in energy costs could result in higher operating costs, which may affect our results from operations. Our income will be adversely affected if a significant number of tenants are unable to pay rent or if our properties cannot be rented on favorable terms. Additionally, if tenants of properties that we lease on a triple-net basis fail to pay required tax, utility and other impositions, we could be required to pay those costs, which would adversely affect funds available for future acquisitions or cash available for distributions. Our performance is linked to economic conditions in the regions where our properties are located and in the market for office and industrial (primarily warehouse/ distribution) properties generally. Therefore, to the extent that there are adverse economic conditions in those regions, and in these markets generally, that impact the applicable market rents, such conditions could result in a reduction of our income and cash available for distributions and thus affect the amount of distributions we can make to investors.
Real estate related taxes may increase and if these increases are not passed on to tenants, our income will be reduced.
Some local real property tax assessors may seek to reassess some of our properties as a result of our acquisition of the property. Generally, from time to time our property taxes increase as property values or assessment rates change or for other reasons deemed relevant by the assessors. An increase in the assessed valuation of a property for real estate tax purposes will result in an increase in the related real estate taxes on that property. In some areas where we have properties, declines in other tax revenues for the states are resulting in the states considering increases to future property and other business related tax rates. Although some tenant leases may permit us to pass through such tax increases to the tenants for payment, there is no assurance that renewal leases or future leases will be negotiated on the same basis. Increases not passed through to tenants will adversely affect our income, cash available for distributions, and the amount of distributions to investors.
If we purchase environmentally hazardous property, our operating results could be adversely affected.
Under various U.S. federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require expenditures. Environmental laws provide for sanctions in the event of noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. In connection with the acquisition and ownership of our properties, we may be potentially liable for such costs. The cost of defending against claims of liability, complying with environmental regulatory requirements or remediating any contaminated property could have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations and, consequently, amounts available for distribution to you. Any costs or expenses relating to environmental matters may not be covered by insurance.
We may incur significant costs complying with various federal, state and local laws, regulations and covenants that are applicable to our properties and, in particular costs associated with complying with regulations such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 may result in unanticipated expenses.
The properties in our portfolio are subject to various covenants and U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulatory requirements, including permitting and licensing requirements. Local regulations, including municipal or local ordinances, zoning restrictions and restrictive covenants imposed by community developers may restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from local officials or restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from local officials of community standards organizations at any time with respect to our properties, including prior to acquiring a property or when undertaking renovations of any of our existing properties. Among other things, these restrictions may relate to fire and safety, seismic or hazardous material abatement requirements. There can be no assurance that existing laws and regulatory policies will not adversely affect us or the timing or cost of any future acquisitions or renovations, or that additional regulations will not be adopted that increase such delays
26
or result in additional costs. Our growth strategy may be affected by our ability to obtain permits, licenses and zoning relief. Our failure to obtain such permits, licenses and zoning relief or to comply with applicable laws could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
In addition, under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all places of public accommodation are required to meet certain U.S. federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. These requirements became effective in 1992. A number of additional U.S. federal, state and local laws may also require modifications to our properties, or restrict further renovations of the properties, with respect to access thereto by disabled persons. For example, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment properties first occupied after March 13, 1991 to be accessible to the handicapped. On March 15, 2011, final regulations implementing a substantial number of changes to the Accessibility Guidelines under the ADA became effective. These new guidelines could cause some of our properties to incur costly measures to become fully compliant. Noncompliance with the ADA or the FHAA could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. We do not conduct audits or investigations of all of these properties to determine their compliance and we cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with the ADA, the FHAA or other legislation. If one or more of our properties in which we invest is not in compliance with the ADA, the FHAA or other legislation, then we would be required to incur additional costs to bring the property into compliance. If we incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA and the FHAA or other legislation, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, price per share of our common shares and our ability to satisfy debt service obligations and to pay distributions could be adversely affected.
If we make or invest in mortgage loans, our mortgage loans may be impacted by unfavorable real estate market conditions, which could decrease the value of our mortgage investments.
If we make or invest in mortgage loans, we will be at risk of defaults by the borrowers on those mortgage loans. These defaults may be caused by many conditions beyond our control, including interest rate levels and local and other economic conditions affecting real estate values. We will not know whether the values of the properties securing the mortgage loans will remain at the levels existing on the dates of origination of the mortgage loans. If the values of the underlying properties drop, our risk will increase because of the lower value of the security associated with such loans.
High mortgage rates and/or unavailability of mortgage debt may make it difficult for us to finance or refinance properties, which could reduce the number of properties we can acquire, our net income and the amount of cash distributions we can make.
If mortgage debt is unavailable at reasonable rates, we may not be able to finance the purchase of properties. If we place mortgage debt on properties, we may be unable to refinance the properties when the loans become due, or to refinance on favorable terms. If interest rates are higher when we refinance our properties, our income could be reduced. If any of these events occur, our cash flow could be reduced. This, in turn, could reduce cash available for distribution to our shareholders and may hinder our ability to raise more capital by issuing more shares or by borrowing more money.
If we make or invest in mortgage loans, our mortgage loans will be subject to interest rate fluctuations which could reduce our returns as compared to market interest rates as well as the value of the mortgage loans in the event we sell the mortgage loans.
If we invest in fixed-rate, long-term mortgage loans and interest rates rise, the mortgage loans could yield a return that is lower than then-current market rates. If interest rates decrease, we will be adversely affected to the extent that mortgage loans are prepaid, because we may not be able to make new loans at the previously higher interest rate. If we invest in variable interest rate loans, if interest rates decrease, our revenues will likewise decrease. Finally, if interest rates increase, the value of loans we own at such time would decrease which would lower the proceeds we would receive in the event we sell such loans.
Your investment may be subject to additional risks when we make international investments.
We purchase properties located outside the United States. These investments may be affected by factors peculiar to the laws and business practices of the jurisdictions in which the properties are located. These laws may expose us to risks that are different from and in addition to those commonly found in the United States. Foreign investments could be subject to the following risks:
| | ¡ | | changing governmental rules and policies, including changes in land use and zoning laws; |
| | ¡ | | enactment of laws relating to the foreign ownership of real property and laws restricting the ability of foreign persons or companies to remove profits earned from activities within the country to the person’s or company’s country of origin; |
27
| | ¡ | | fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely impact the fair values and earnings streams of our international holdings and, therefore, the returns on our non-dollar denominated investments. Although we may hedge our foreign currency risk subject to the REIT income qualification tests, it is possible that we may not be able to do so successfully and may incur losses on these investments as a result of exchange rate fluctuations; |
| | ¡ | | adverse market conditions caused by terrorism, civil unrest, natural disasters and changes in national or local governmental or economic conditions; |
| | ¡ | | the willingness of domestic or foreign lenders to make mortgage loans in certain countries and changes in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds resulting from varying national economic policies; |
| | ¡ | | the imposition of unique tax structures and changes in real estate and other tax rates and other operating expenses in particular countries; |
| | ¡ | | our ability to qualify as a REIT may be affected; and |
| | ¡ | | general political and economic instability. |
Retail properties depend on anchor tenants to attract shoppers and could be adversely affected by the loss of a key anchor tenant.
We have acquired, and may in the future acquire, properties with retail components. As with all rental properties, we are subject to the risk that tenants may be unable to make their lease payments or may decline to extend a lease upon its expiration. A lease termination by a tenant that occupies a large area of a retail center (commonly referred to as an anchor tenant) could impact leases of other tenants. Other tenants may be entitled to modify the terms of their existing leases in the event of a lease termination by an anchor tenant, or the closure of the business of an anchor tenant that leaves its space vacant even if the anchor tenant continues to pay rent. Any such modifications or conditions could be unfavorable to us as the property owner and could decrease rents, expense recoveries or the market value of the property. Additionally, major tenant closures may result in decreased customer traffic, which could lead to decreased sales at other stores. In the event of a default by a tenant or anchor store, we may experience delays and costs in enforcing our rights as landlord to recover amounts due to us under the terms of our agreements with those parties.
We are subject to risks that affect the general retail environment, such as weakness in the economy, the level of consumer spending, the adverse financial condition of large retailing companies and competition from discount and internet retailers, any of which could adversely affect market rents for retail space and the willingness or ability of retailers to lease space in our properties.
A portion of our properties are in the retail real estate market. This means that we are subject to factors that affect the retail sector generally, as well as the market for retail space. The retail environment and the market for retail space have been, and could continue to be, adversely affected by weakness in the national, regional and local economies, the level of consumer spending and consumer confidence, the adverse financial condition of some large retailing companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets and increasing competition from discount retailers, outlet malls, internet retailers and other online businesses. Increases in consumer spending via the internet may significantly affect our retail tenants’ ability to generate sales in their stores. New and enhanced technologies, including new digital technologies and new web services technologies, may increase competition for certain of our retail tenants.
Any of the foregoing factors could adversely affect the financial condition of our retail tenants and the willingness of retailers to lease space. In turn, these conditions could negatively affect market rents for retail space and could materially and adversely affect our distributions to our shareholders.
Delays in liquidating defaulted mortgage loans could reduce our investment returns.
If there are defaults under mortgage loans that we may make or invest in, we may not be able to repossess and sell the underlying properties quickly. The resulting time delay could reduce the value of our investment in the defaulted mortgage loans. An action to foreclose on a property securing a mortgage loan is regulated by state statutes and rules and is subject to many of the delays and expenses of other lawsuits if the defendant raises defenses or counterclaims. In the event of default by a mortgagor, these restrictions, among other things, may impede our ability to foreclose on or sell the mortgaged property or to obtain proceeds sufficient to repay all amounts due to us on the mortgage loan.
28
We may make or invest in mezzanine loans, which involve greater risks of loss than senior loans secured by real properties.
We may make or invest in mezzanine loans that generally take the form of subordinated loans secured by second mortgages on the underlying real property or loans secured by a pledge of the ownership interests of an entity that directly or indirectly owns real property. These types of investments involve a higher degree of risk than long-term senior mortgage loans secured by real property because the investment may become unsecured as a result of foreclosure by the senior lender. In the event of a bankruptcy of the entity providing the pledge of its ownership interests as security, we may not have full recourse to the assets of such entity, or the assets of the entity may not be sufficient to satisfy our mezzanine loan. If a borrower defaults on our mezzanine loan or debt senior to our mezzanine loan, or in the event of a borrower bankruptcy, our mezzanine loan will be satisfied only after the senior debt. As a result, we may not recover some or all of our investment. In addition, mezzanine loans may have higher loan-to-value ratios than traditional mortgage loans, resulting in less equity in the real property and increasing our risk of loss of principal. We will make mortgage loans only in accordance with the investment restrictions we have adopted.
We will be subject to risks that result from our passive ownership of real estate, including our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia.
We have invested and may make future investments in which we passively own real estate. A passive investment in real estate, such as our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, involves risks not otherwise present with other methods of owning real estate. Examples of these risks include:
| | ¡ | | we cannot take part in the operation, management, direction or control of the real estate; |
| | ¡ | | the party controlling the real estate may have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals, including inconsistent goals relating to the sale of properties owned by such controlling party or the timing of the termination and liquidation of the controlling party; or |
| | ¡ | | the possibility that we may incur impairments and liabilities as the result of actions taken by the controlling party. |
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may affect the market for our common shares, the industry in which we conduct our operations and our profitability.
Terrorist attacks may harm our results of operations and your investment. We cannot assure you that there will not be terrorist attacks in the localities in which we conduct business. These attacks or armed conflicts may directly impact the property underlying our asset-based securities or the securities markets in general. Losses resulting from these types of events are uninsurable.
More generally, any of these events could cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease or result in increased volatility in the worldwide financial markets and economy. Adverse economic conditions could harm the value of the property underlying our asset-backed securities or the securities markets in general which could harm our operating results and revenues.
Financing Risks
Dislocations or volatility in the capital and credit markets could adversely affect us.
Dislocations or volatility in the financial markets have the potential to affect, particularly in the near term, the value of our properties and our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, the availability or the terms of financing that we and our unconsolidated joint ventures have or may anticipate utilizing, the ability of us and our unconsolidated joint ventures to make principal and interest payments on or refinance any outstanding debt when due. It may also impact the ability of our tenants and potential tenants to enter into new leases or satisfy rental payments under existing leases. Capital market dislocations or volatility may potentially cause certain financial institutions to fail or to seek federal assistance. In the event of a failure of a lender or counterparty to a financial contract, obligations under the financial contract might not be honored and many forms of assets may be at risk and may not be fully returned to us. Should a financial institution fail to fund its committed amounts when contractually obligated to do so, our ability to meet our obligations could be materially and adversely impacted.
We could become more highly leveraged and an increase in debt service could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions.
We had approximately $657,354,000 of consolidated outstanding indebtedness, excluding discount and fair value adjustment, representing approximately 39% of our net assets (or approximately 38% of the approximate total acquisition cost of our consolidated properties, including intangibles) as of December 31, 2011. Although we have adopted a policy to limit our aggregate borrowing to no more than 65% of the cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation, subject to the 300% of net assets borrowing
29
restriction described below, this policy may be altered at any time or suspended by our Board of Trustees if necessary to pursue attractive investment opportunities. Our organizational documents contain a limitation on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur, so that until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, our aggregate borrowing may not exceed 300% of our net assets unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent trustees and is disclosed to shareholders in our next quarterly report.
Our level of debt and the limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements could have significant adverse consequences, including the following:
| | ¡ | | our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments; |
| | ¡ | | we may be unable to borrow additional funds as needed or on favorable terms, which could, among other things, adversely affect our ability to meet operational needs; |
| | ¡ | | we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or the refinancing terms may be less favorable than the terms of our original indebtedness; |
| | ¡ | | we may be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties, possibly on unfavorable terms or in violation of certain covenants to which we may be subject; |
| | ¡ | | we may violate restrictive covenants in our loan documents, which would entitle the lenders to accelerate our debt obligations; and |
| | ¡ | | our default under any loan with cross default provisions could result in a default on other indebtedness. |
If we become more highly leveraged, then the resulting increase in debt service could adversely affect our ability to make payments on outstanding indebtedness and to pay our anticipated distributions and/or the distributions required to qualify as a REIT, and could harm our financial condition.
If we fail to make our debt payments, we could lose our investment in a property.
We intend to secure the loans we obtain to fund future property acquisitions with mortgages on some of our properties. If we are unable to make our debt payments as required, a lender could foreclose on the property or properties securing its debt. This could cause us to lose part or all of our investment which in turn could cause a reduction in the value of the shares and the dividends payable to our shareholders.
Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants relating to our operations.
In connection with obtaining certain financing, a lender could impose restrictions on us that would affect our ability to incur additional debt and our distribution and operating policies. Loan documents we enter into may contain customary negative covenants that may limit our ability to further mortgage the property, to discontinue insurance coverage, replace the Investment Advisor as our investment advisor or impose other limitations.
Rising interest rates could increase our borrowing costs and reduce cash available for distributions and could also adversely affect the values of the properties we own.
We have borrowed and in the future may borrow money to purchase assets. An increase in interest rates could increase our interest expense and adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to service indebtedness and to make distributions to our shareholders.
If we enter into financing arrangements involving balloon payment obligations, it may adversely affect our ability to pay dividends.
Our financing arrangements may require us to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. Our ability to make a balloon payment at maturity is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain additional financing or our ability to sell the property. At the time the balloon payment is due, we may or may not be able to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan or sell the property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. A refinancing or sale under these circumstances could affect the rate of return to shareholders and the projected time of disposition of our assets. In addition, payments of principal and interest made to service our debts may leave us with insufficient cash to pay the distributions that we are required to pay to qualify as a REIT. In such case, we may be forced to borrow funds to make the distributions required to qualify as a REIT.
30
Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect our results of operations.
Subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT, we may seek to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility by using interest rate hedging arrangements, such as interest cap agreements and interest rate swap agreements. These agreements may fail to protect or could adversely affect us because, among other things:
| | ¡ | | interest rate hedging can be expensive, particularly during periods of rising and volatile interest rates; |
| | ¡ | | available interest rate hedges may not correspond directly with the interest rate risk for which protection is sought; |
| | ¡ | | the duration of the hedge may not match the duration of the related liability; |
| | ¡ | | the amount of income that a REIT may earn from hedging transactions (other than through taxable REIT subsidiaries) is limited by U.S. federal tax provisions governing REITs; |
| | ¡ | | the credit quality of the party owing money on the hedge may be downgraded to such an extent that it impairs our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction; |
| | ¡ | | the party owing money in the hedging transaction may default on its obligation to pay; |
| | ¡ | | we could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements; |
| | ¡ | | the underlying transactions could fail to qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges under FASB ASC “Derivative and Hedging”; and |
| | ¡ | | a court could rule that such an agreement is not legally enforceable. |
We have adopted a policy relating to the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risks related to our borrowings. This policy governs our use of derivative financial instruments to manage the interest rates on our variable rate borrowings. Our policy states that we will not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes and intend only to enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors, but our Board of Trustees may choose to change these policies in the future. Hedging may reduce the overall returns on our investments, which could reduce our cash available for distribution to our shareholders. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
If we sell properties by providing financing to purchasers, defaults by the purchasers would adversely affect our cash flows.
If we decide to sell any of our properties, we intend to use our best efforts to sell them for cash. However, in some instances we may sell our properties by providing financing to purchasers. When we provide financing to purchasers, we will bear the risk that the purchaser may default, which could negatively impact our cash distributions to shareholders. Even in the absence of a purchaser default, the distribution of the proceeds of sales to our shareholders, or their reinvestment in other assets, will be delayed until the promissory notes or other property we may accept upon the sale are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed of. In some cases, we may receive initial down payments in cash and other property in the year of sale in an amount less than the selling price and subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years. If any purchaser defaults under a financing arrangement with us, it could negatively impact our ability to pay cash distributions to our shareholders.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Risks
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, our operations and ability to make distributions will be adversely affected because we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates with no deductions for distributions made to shareholders.
We believe that we are organized and operate in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, and that our method of operation enables us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. So long as we qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our net taxable income we distribute currently to our shareholders. In order for us to qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy certain requirements established under highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations, and which involve the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control.
In March 2005, we mortgaged one of our real estate properties and invested the proceeds in a money market mutual fund until June 2005 when the proceeds were used to purchase another real estate property. During the time the proceeds were invested in the fund, we treated the investment as a “qualified temporary investment” for purposes of the REIT asset test requirements. If our investment in
31
the fund was not eligible for treatment as a qualified temporary investment, we may not have satisfied the REIT 5% gross asset test for the first quarter of 2005. If our investment in the fund resulted in our noncompliance with the REIT 5% gross asset test, however, we would retain our qualification as a REIT pursuant to certain mitigation provisions of the Internal Revenue Code provided our noncompliance was due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect, and certain other requirements are met including the payment of a $50,000 penalty tax. Any potential noncompliance with the 5% gross asset test would be due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect so long as we are considered to have exercised ordinary business care and prudence in attempting to satisfy such test. We believe that we have exercised ordinary business care and prudence in attempting to satisfy the REIT income and asset tests, including the 5% gross asset test, and, accordingly, we believe that any noncompliance with the REIT 5% gross asset test resulting from our investment in the fund should be due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. We have complied with the other requirements of the mitigation provisions of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to such potential noncompliance with the 5% gross asset test, including paying the $50,000 penalty tax, and, therefore, our qualification as a REIT should not be affected. The IRS is not bound by our determination, however, and no assurance can be provided that the IRS will not assert that we failed to comply with the REIT 5% gross asset test as a result of our investment in the fund and that such failure was not due to reasonable cause.
In order for distributions to be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes and count towards our distribution requirement, they must not be “preferential dividends.” A distribution will not be treated as preferential if it is pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class. IRS guidance, however, allows a REIT to offer shareholders participating in its dividend reinvestment program (“DRIP”) up to a 5% discount on shares purchased through the DRIP without treating such reinvested dividends as preferential. Our DRIP offers a 5% discount. In 2007, 2008 and the first two quarters of 2009, common shares issued pursuant to our DRIP were treated as issued as of the first day following the close of the quarter for which the distributions were declared, and not on the date that the cash distributions were paid to shareholders not participating in our DRIP. Because we declare dividends on a daily basis, including with respect to common shares issued pursuant to our DRIP, the IRS could take the position that distributions paid by us during these periods were preferential on the grounds that the discount provided to DRIP participants effectively exceeded the authorized 5% discount or, alternatively, that the overall distributions were not pro rata among all shareholders. In addition, in the years 2007 through 2009 we paid certain individual retirement account (“IRA”) custodial fees in respect of IRA accounts that invested in our common shares. The payment of certain of such amounts could have been treated as dividend distributions to the IRAs, and therefore as preferential dividends as such amounts were not paid in respect of our other outstanding common shares. Although we believe that the effect of the operation of our DRIP and the payment of such fees was immaterial, the REIT rules do not provide an exception forde minimis preferential dividends.
Accordingly, we submitted a request to the IRS for a closing agreement under which the IRS would grant us relief for preferential dividends that may have been paid as a result of the manner in which we operated our DRIP and in respect of our payment of certain of such custodial fees. On July 8, 2011, the Company and the Investment Advisor entered into a closing agreement with the IRS (the “Closing Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) agreed not to challenge the Company’s dividends as preferential for its taxable years 2007, 2008 and 2009 as a result of the matters described above, and (ii) the Investment Advisor paid a compliance fee of approximately $135,000 to the IRS. In accordance with the terms of the Closing Agreement, none of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary thereof have directly or indirectly reimbursed or will directly or indirectly reimburse the Investment Advisor for its payment of this compliance fee and none of the Investment Advisor or its direct or indirect owners has deducted or will deduct the compliance fee from their taxable income. The Company and the Investment Advisor expect to remain in compliance with the terms of the Closing Agreement, but any inadvertent non-compliance with such terms could result in adverse consequences for us. As a result of the Closing Agreement, the Company has met its distribution requirement for its taxable years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009
If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, or if we failed to meet our distribution requirements we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates with no deductions for distributions made to shareholders. Further, in such event, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we lose our REIT qualification. Accordingly, the loss of our REIT qualification would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to shareholders because of the substantial tax liabilities that would be imposed on us. We might also be required to borrow funds or sell investments to pay the applicable tax.
We may be subject to tax on our undistributed net taxable income or be forced to borrow funds to make distributions required to qualify as a REIT.
As a REIT, we generally must distribute at least 90% of our annual net taxable income (excluding net capital gain) to our shareholders and we are subject to regular corporate income tax to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our annual net taxable income. In addition, we are subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. In order to make distributions necessary to qualify as a REIT and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes, we
32
may need to borrow funds on a short-term, or possibly long-term, basis, use proceeds from our follow-on public offering or future public offerings, or sell properties, even if the then prevailing market conditions are not favorable for borrowings or sales. Our need for cash to make distributions could result from, among other things, a difference in timing between the actual receipt of cash and inclusion of income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves and the repayment of indebtedness.
Dividends payable by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced U.S. federal income tax rates.
The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for dividends payable by domestic corporations to individual U.S. shareholders is 15% (through 2012). Dividends payable by REITs, however, are generally not eligible for the reduced rates. The more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate dividends could cause investors who are individuals to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs, including our shares.
We will pay some taxes.
Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will be required to pay some U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes on our income and property, including a 100% penalty tax on any gain recognized on property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. To the extent that we are required to pay U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxes, we will have less cash available for distribution to our shareholders.
The ability of our Board of Trustees to revoke our REIT election without shareholder approval may cause adverse consequences to our shareholders.
Our charter provides that our Board of Trustees may revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the approval of our shareholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interests to qualify as a REIT. If we cease to qualify as a REIT, we would become subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income and we would no longer be required to distribute most of our taxable income to our shareholders, which may have adverse consequences on the total return to our shareholders and the value of our shares.
Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect investors.
In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made to the U.S. federal income tax laws applicable to investments similar to an investment in our shares. Additional changes to tax laws are likely to continue to occur in the future, and we cannot assure you that any such changes will not adversely affect the taxation of us or our shareholders. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares or on the market value or the resale potential of our properties.
If our assets are deemed to be ERISA plan assets, the Investment Advisor and we may be exposed to liabilities under Title I of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code.
In some circumstances where an ERISA plan holds an interest in an entity, the assets of the entire entity are deemed to be ERISA plan assets unless an exception applies. This is known as the “look-through rule.” Under those circumstances, the obligations and other responsibilities of plan sponsors, plan fiduciaries and plan administrators, and of parties in interest and disqualified persons, under Title I of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, may be applicable, and there may be liability under these and other provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. If the Investment Advisor or we are exposed to liability under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, our performance and results of operations could be adversely affected. Prior to making an investment in us, you should consult with your legal and other advisors concerning the impact of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code on your investment and our performance.

Insurance Coverage on Properties
We carry comprehensive general liability coverage and umbrella liability coverage on all of our properties with limits of liability which we deem adequate. Similarly, we are insured against the risk of direct physical damage in amounts we believe to be adequate to reimburse us on a replacement basis for costs incurred to repair or rebuild each property, including loss of rental income during the reconstruction period. The cost of such insurance is passed through to tenants whenever possible.

Our properties, as well as any other properties that we may acquire in the future, are subject to various international, U.S. federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, including, among other things, zoning regulations, land use controls, environmental controls relating to air and water quality, noise pollution and indirect environmental impacts such as increased motor vehicle activity. Our properties are subject to regulation under federal laws, such as the ADA, under which all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons, and state and local laws addressing earthquake, fire and life safety requirements. Although we believe that our properties substantially comply with present requirements under applicable governmental regulations, none of our properties have been audited or investigated for compliance by any regulatory agency. If we were not in compliance with material provisions of the ADA or other regulations affecting our properties, we might be required to take remedial action, which could include making modifications or renovations to properties. Federal, state or local governments may also enact future laws and regulations that could require us to make significant modifications or renovations to our properties. If we were to incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA or any other regulations, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the quoted trading prices of our securities and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to shareholders could be adversely affected. We believe that we have all permits and approvals necessary under current law to operate our properties.
Recent Developments
On January 31, 2012, we were notified that the investment period of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia was extended nine months from January 31, 2012 to October 31, 2012.

Market Information
As of March 29, 2012, we had approximately 248,650,940 common shares outstanding, held by a total of 63,444 shareholders. The number of shareholders is based on the records of DST Systems, Inc., which serves as our registrar and transfer agent. There is no active public trading market for our common shares and a trading market may never develop or, if developed, such market may not be sustained. As a result, you may find it difficult to find a buyer for your shares. If you are able to find a buyer for your shares, you may sell your shares to that buyer only if the buyer satisfies the suitability standards applicable to him or her, including any suitability standards imposed by such potential buyer’s state of residence. In addition, our charter prohibits the ownership of more than 3.0% by number or value, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common shares or more than 3.0% by number or value, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding shares, unless exempted by our board of trustees. Consequently, there is the risk that our shareholders may not be able to sell their shares at a time or price acceptable to them. Pursuant to our follow-on public offering, which closed on January 30, 2012, we sold our common shares to the public at a price of $10.00 per share and at a price of $9.50 per share pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan. We are currently issuing common shares to shareholders at a price of $9.50 per share pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan.
To assist fiduciaries of retirement plans subject to the annual reporting requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), we intend to provide reports of the per share estimate value of common shares to those fiduciaries who request such requests. In addition, in order for Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) members and their associated persons to have participated in the sale of common shares pursuant to our public offerings, we are required pursuant to FINRA Rule 2310 to disclose in each annual report distributed to shareholders a per share estimated value of the shares, the method by which it was developed and the date of the data used to develop the estimated value. For these purposes, the estimated value of the shares was deemed to be $10.00 per share as of December 31, 2011. The basis for this estimated value is the fact that, as of December 31, 2011, we were conducting our public offering of our common shares at the price of $10.00 per share to third-party investors through arms-length transactions. However, there is no established public trading market for the common shares at this time, and there can be no assurance that shareholders could receive $10.00 per share if such a market did exist and they sold their common shares or that they will be able to receive such amount for their common shares in the future. Moreover, we have not performed an appraisal of our properties; as such, this estimated value is not necessarily based upon the appraised value of our properties, nor does it necessarily represent the amount shareholders would receive if our properties were sold and the proceeds distributed to our shareholders in a liquidation, which amount may be less than $10.00 per share. Until 18 months after the termination of our follow-on public offering, we intend to use the offering price of our common shares in our follow-on public offering as the per share estimated value. Thereafter, the value of the properties and other assets will be based on valuations of either our properties or us as a whole, whichever valuation method our Board of Trustees determines to be appropriate, which may include independent valuations of our properties or of our company as a whole.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
On February 3, 2012, our Board of Trustees adopted and approved an amendment and restatement of our dividend reinvestment plan. The following is a summary of our amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan (the “divided reinvestment plan”) that allows you to have dividends and other distributions otherwise distributable to you invested in additional common shares. As of December 31, 2011, we had issued 11,107,304 common shares pursuant to our original dividend reinvestment plan.
Administrator
DST systems, Inc. serves as the plan administrator. The plan administrator administers the plan, keeps records and provides each participant with purchase confirmations.
Eligibility
Our existing shareholders, and persons who receive our shares upon conversion of OP units of CBRE OP are eligible to participate in our dividend reinvestment plan, provided such persons meet the investor suitability and minimum purchase requirements of their states of residence. We may elect to deny your participation in the dividend reinvestment plan if you reside in a jurisdiction or foreign country where, in our judgment, the burden or expense of compliance with applicable securities laws makes your participation impracticable or inadvisable.
55
Election to Participate
Assuming you are eligible, you may elect to participate in the dividend reinvestment plan by completing the enrollment form available from the plan administrator. Your participation in the dividend reinvestment plan will begin with the next dividend made after receipt of your enrollment form provided such notice is received more than 30 days prior to the last day of the fiscal quarter. Once enrolled, you may continue to purchase shares under our dividend reinvestment plan until we have sold all of the shares registered in the dividend reinvestment plan offering, have terminated the dividend reinvestment plan offering or have terminated the dividend reinvestment plan. If you participate in the dividend reinvestment plan, all of your dividends will be reinvested through the plan.
Share Purchases
Our Board of Trustees determined that the offering price for shares under the dividend reinvestment plan will initially be $9.50 per share. In our recent public offerings of common shares, the price per common share was $10.00. In the event that our Board of Trustees determines that the fair market value of our common shares has changed, common shares will thereafter be sold pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan at a price determined by our Board of Trustees, which price shall not be less than 95% of the fair market value of a common share on the reinvestment date (including any administrative costs paid by us on participants’ behalf) as so determined. There is no public trading market for our common shares. The initial offering price per share may not reflect the value of the underlying assets. The selling price also may not be indicative of the price at which the shares may trade if they were listed on an exchange or of the proceeds that a shareholder may receive if we liquidated or dissolved. The purchase of fractional shares is a permissible, and likely, result of the reinvestment of distributions under the dividend reinvestment plan. Shares may be issued under the dividend reinvestment plan until all shares registered as part of the dividend reinvestment plan offering have been sold.
Investment of Distribution
Our plan administrator uses the aggregate amount of distributions to all participants for each fiscal quarter to purchase shares (including fractional shares) for the participants. If the aggregate amount of distributions to participants exceeds the amount necessary to purchase all shares then available for purchase, the plan administrator will purchase all available shares and will return all remaining distributions to the participants within 30 days after the date such distributions are made. Any distributions not so invested will be returned to participants.
At this time, participants do not have the option to make voluntary contributions to the dividend reinvestment plan to purchase shares in excess of the amount of shares that can be purchased with their distributions. Our Board of Trustees reserves the right, however, to amend the dividend reinvestment plan in the future to permit voluntary contributions to the dividend reinvestment plan by participants, to the extent consistent with our objective of qualifying as a REIT.
Purchase Confirmations
The plan administrator provides a confirmation of your quarterly purchases under the dividend reinvestment plan. The plan administrator is to provide the confirmation to you or your designee within 30 days after the end of each quarter, which confirmation is to disclose the following information:
| | ¡ | | each dividend reinvested for your account during the quarter; |
| | ¡ | | the date of the reinvestment; |
| | ¡ | | the number and price of the shares purchased by you; |
| | ¡ | | the total number of shares in your account; and |
| | ¡ | | all material information regarding the dividend reinvestment plan and the effect of reinvesting dividends. |
Fees and Commissions
We do not pay selling commissions, a dealer manager fee or the marketing support fee on shares sold under our dividend reinvestment plan. We do not receive a fee for selling shares under the dividend reinvestment plan. We are responsible for all administrative charges and expenses charged by the plan administrator. Any interest earned on such distributions will be paid to us to defray certain costs relating to the dividend reinvestment plan.
Voting
You may vote all whole shares acquired through the dividend reinvestment plan.
56
Tax Consequences of Participation
The reinvestment of dividends does not relieve you of any taxes which may be payable on such dividends. When your dividends are reinvested to acquire shares (including any fractional share), you will be treated as having received a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of our common shares on the dividend payment date, multiplied by the number of shares (including any fractional share) purchased plus any brokerage fees, commissions or administrative costs paid by us on your behalf in connection with the reinvestment. You should be aware that, because shares purchased with reinvested dividends may be purchased at up to a 5% discount, the taxable income received by you as a participant in our dividend reinvestment plan may be greater than the taxable income that would have resulted from the receipt of the dividend in cash. We will withhold 28% of the amount of dividends or distributions paid if you fail to furnish a valid taxpayer identification number, fail to properly report interest or dividends or fail to certify that you are not subject to withholding.
Termination of Participation
You may terminate your participation (in whole and not in part) in the dividend reinvestment plan at any time, without penalty, by providing written notice to us at least ten business days prior to the last day of the fiscal period to which the distribution relates. If you terminate your participation in the dividend reinvestment plan, the plan administrator will send you a check in payment for the amount of any distributions that have not been reinvested in shares, and our record books will be revised to reflect the ownership records of your whole and fractional shares. Any transfer of your shares will effect a termination of the participation of those shares in the dividend reinvestment plan. You must promptly notify us should you no longer meet the suitability standards described under the “Suitability Standards” section of the prospectus relating to our dividend reinvestment plan offering or cannot make the other representations or warranties set forth in the enrollment form at any time prior to the listing of our shares on the New York Stock Exchange or another national exchange. We will terminate your participation to the extent that a reinvestment of your dividends in our shares would cause you to exceed the ownership limitation contained in our declaration of trust. In the event you terminate your participation in the dividend reinvestment plan, you may subsequently re-enroll in the plan upon receipt of the then current version of the prospectus relating to our dividend reinvestment plan offering by notifying the plan agent and completing any required documents.
Amendment or Termination of Plan
We may amend or terminate the dividend reinvestment plan for any reason at any time upon ten days prior written notice to participants.
Share Redemption Program
On February 3, 2012, our Board of Trustees adopted and approved an amendment and restatement of our share redemption program (the “share redemption program”). Our share redemption program is designed to provide existing shareholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to us prior to a liquidity event. Shareholders who have held their shares for at least one year and who purchased those shares from us or received the shares from us through a non-cash transaction, not in the secondary market, may, on a quarterly basis, present to us for redemption all or any portion of their shares. However, in the event that an eligible shareholder presents fewer than all of his or her shares to us for redemption, such shareholder must present at least 25% of his or her shares to us for redemption and must retain at least $5,000 of common shares if any shares are held after such redemption. At that time, we may, subject to the conditions and limitations described below, redeem such shares for cash to the extent that we have sufficient funds available from the proceeds received through our dividend reinvestment plan and, at the sole discretion of our Board of Trustees, other sources, to fund such redemption after the payment of dividends necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT and to avoid payment of any U.S. federal income tax or excise tax on our net taxable income and other funding needs as determined by our Board of Trustees.
Subject to certain restrictions discussed herein, we may redeem shares, from time to time, at the following prices:
| | |
Share Purchase Anniversary | | Redemption Price as a
Percentage of Purchase Price |
Less than 1 year | | No Redemption Allowed |
1 year | | 92.0% |
2 years | | 93.5% |
3 years | | 95.0% |
4 and longer | | 100.0% |
At any time that we are engaged in an offering of our common shares, the per share redemption price will not exceed the applicable per share offering price. Thereafter, the per share redemption price will be the applicable per share offering price paid until we conduct an annual valuation of our shares. After an annual valuation, the per share redemption price will be based on the then-current net
57
asset value of our common shares as determined by our Board of Trustees (as adjusted for any share dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to our common shares). Shares issued pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan will be redeemed according to the above schedule at a price based upon the indicated percentage of the purchase price paid for such shares acquired through the dividend reinvestment plan. Our Board of Trustees will announce any purchase price adjustment and the time period of its effectiveness as a part of its regular communications with our shareholders.
Our Board of Trustees has delegated to our officers the right to waive the one-year holding period and pro rata redemption requirements described below in the event of the death, disability (as such term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code) or bankruptcy of a shareholder. Shares that are redeemed in connection with the death, disability or bankruptcy of a shareholder will be redeemed at the time of showing death, disability or bankruptcy and at 100% of the price at which the investor purchased such shares while the share redemption program is in effect and sufficient funds are available from the proceeds received through our dividend reinvestment plan or, at the sole discretion of our Board of Trustees, other sources. However, in the event that an eligible shareholder presents fewer than all of his or her shares to us for redemption, such shareholder must present at least 25% of his or her shares to us for redemption and must retain at least $5,000 of common shares if any shares are held after such redemption.
Redemption of shares, when requested, will be made quarterly and, in the event our available cash from the proceeds received through our dividend reinvestment plan or, at the sole discretion of our Board of Trustees, other sources, is insufficient to fund all redemption requests, each shareholders request will be reduced on a pro rata basis. Alternatively, if we do not have such funds available, at the time when redemption is requested, a shareholder can (i) withdraw his or her request for redemption, or (ii) ask that we carry over his or her request to the next quarterly period, if any, when sufficient funds become available. If a shareholder does not make a subsequent request, we will treat the initial redemption request as cancelled.
We are not obligated to redeem common shares under our share redemption program. During any calendar year, we will not redeem more than 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. The aggregate amount of redemptions under our share redemption program is not expected to exceed the aggregate proceeds received during any calendar year from the sale of shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan. However, to the extent that the aggregate proceeds received from the sale of shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan are not sufficient to fund redemption requests pursuant to the 5% limitation outlined above, the Board of Trustees may, in its sole discretion, choose to use other sources of funds to redeem common shares. Such sources of funds could include cash on hand and cash available from borrowings. We cannot guarantee that any funds set aside for our share redemption program will be sufficient to accommodate any or all requests made in any year.
Our Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, may choose to terminate or otherwise amend the terms of the share redemption program or to reduce the number of shares purchased under the share redemption program if it determines the funds otherwise available to fund our share redemption program are needed for other purposes or it is in the best interests of our shareholders to increase our cash reserves. If we terminate, amend or suspend the share redemption program or reduce the number of shares to be redeemed under the share redemption program, we will provide 30 days’ advance notice to shareholders, and we will disclose the change in quarterly and annual reports filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K.
A shareholder who wishes to have his or her shares redeemed must mail or deliver a written request on a form we provide, executed by the shareholder, its trustee or authorized agent, to the redemption agent, which is currently DST Systems, Inc. Within 30 days following the redemption agent’s receipt of the shareholders request, the redemption agent will forward to such shareholder the documents necessary to affect the redemption, including any signature guarantee we or the redemption agent may require. The redemption agent will affect such redemption for the calendar quarter provided that it receives the properly completed redemption documents relating to the shares to be redeemed from the shareholder at least one calendar month prior to the last day of the current calendar quarter and has sufficient funds available to redeem such shares. The effective date of any redemption will be the last date during a quarter during which the redemption agent receives the properly completed redemption documents. As a result, we anticipate that, assuming sufficient funds are available for redemption, the redemptions will be paid no later than 30 days after the quarterly determination of the availability of funds for redemption.
You will have no right to request redemption of your shares should our shares become listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market. Our share redemption program is only intended to provide interim liquidity for our existing shareholders until a secondary market develops for the shares, at which time the program would terminate. No such market presently exists, and we cannot assure you that any market for your shares will ever develop.
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we received requests to redeem 4,698,734 common shares and 2,057,122, common shares, respectively, pursuant to our share redemption program. We redeemed 100% and 100% of the redemption requests for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 at an average price per share of $9.21 and $9.16. We funded share redemptions for the periods noted above from the proceeds of the sale of our common shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan.
58
Shares
The number of our common shares issued and outstanding as of March 29, 2012 was 248,650,940.
Distribution Policy
We intend to distribute all or substantially all of our net taxable income (which does not ordinarily equate to net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP) to our shareholders in each year. We intend to declare dividends on a daily basis, but aggregate and pay dividends on a quarterly basis. Our dividend policy is subject to revision at the discretion of our Board of Trustees without notice to you or shareholder approval. All distributions will be made by us at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will be based upon our Board of Trustee’s evaluation of our assets, operating results, historical and projected cash flows (and sources thereof), historical and projected equity offering proceeds from our offerings, historical and projected debt incurred, projected investments and capital requirements, the anticipated timing between receipt of our equity offering proceeds and investment of those proceeds, maintenance of REIT qualification, applicable provisions of Maryland law, general economic, market and industry conditions, and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant.
In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we generally must make distributions to our shareholders each year in an amount at least equal to (i) 90% of our net taxable income, excluding net capital gains, plus (ii) 90% of the excess of our net income from foreclosure property over the tax imposed on such income by the Internal Revenue Code, minus (iii) any excess non-cash income. In general, our dividends will be applied toward these requirements only if paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if the dividends are declared before we timely file our tax return for that year, the dividends are paid on or before the first regular dividend payment following the declaration and we elect on our tax return to have a specified dollar amount of such distributions treated as if paid in the prior year. In addition, dividends declared by us in October, November or December of one taxable year and payable to a shareholder of record on a specific date in such a month are treated as both paid by us and received by the shareholder during such taxable year, provided that the dividend is actually paid by us by January 31 of the following taxable year.
It is anticipated that distributions generally will be taxable as ordinary income to our shareholders, although a portion of such distributions may be designated by us as a return of capital or as capital gain. We will furnish annually to each of our shareholders a statement setting forth distributions paid during the preceding year and their characterization as ordinary income, return of capital or capital gains.
The following table sets forth the distributions per common share declared by our Board of Trustees and dates of such distributions:

On March 6, 2012, our Board of Trustees approved a quarterly distribution to shareholders of $0.15 per common share for the second quarter of 2012. The distribution will be calculated on a daily basis and paid on July 13, 2012 to shareholders of record during the period April 1, 2012 through and including June 30, 2012. On an annualized basis, this distribution amount represents a 6.0% yield based on the current $10.00 per share offering price of our common shares. However, no assurance can be made that distributions will be sustained at current levels.
On December 13, 2011, our Board of Trustees approved a quarterly distribution to shareholders of $0.15 per common share for the first quarter of 2012.

In addition, 2010 distributions totaling $35,317,000 were reinvested in our common shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan during 2010.
60
To the extent that our cash available for distribution is less than the amount we are required to distribute to qualify as a REIT, we may consider various funding sources to cover any shortfall, including borrowing funds on a short-term, or possibly long-term, basis, using proceeds from our follow-on public offering, or selling properties. In addition, we may utilize these funding sources to make distributions that exceed the amount we are required to distribute to qualify as a REIT.
Unregistered Sales and Repurchases of Securities
During the year ended December 31, 2011, we did not sell any equity securities that are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. See “Share Redemption Program” for a discussion of our share redemption program, including shares that we have redeemed thereunder.

Use of Proceeds from Sale of Registered Securities
The registration statement relating to our initial public offering (No. 333-127405) was declared effective on October 24, 2006. CNL Securities Corp. was the dealer manager of our initial public offering. The registration statement covered up to $2,000,000,000 in common shares of beneficial interest, 90% of which were offered at a price of $10.00 per share, and 10% of which were offered pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan at a purchase price equal to the higher of $9.50 per share or 95% of the fair market value of a common share on the reinvestment date, as determined by the Investment Advisor or another firm we choose for that purpose. Our initial public offering was terminated effective as of the close of business on January 29, 2009. As of the close of business on January 29, 2009, we had sold a total of 60,808,967 common shares in the initial public offering, including 1,487,943 common shares which were issued pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan.

The registration statement covered up to $3,000,000,000 in common shares of beneficial interest, 90% of which were offered at a price of $10.00 per share, and 10% of which were offered pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan at a purchase price equal to the higher of $9.50 per share or 95% of the fair market value of a common share on the reinvestment date, as determined by the Investment Advisor or another firm we choose for that purpose. Our follow-on offering was closed on January 30, 2012. From January 29, 2009 (effective date) to January 30, 2012 (close), we had accepted subscriptions from 49,990 investors, issued 190,672,251 common shares and received $1,901,137,211 in gross offering proceeds pursuant to our follow-on public offering.

Equity Incentive Plan
We have adopted a 2004 equity incentive plan. The purpose of the 2004 equity incentive plan is to provide us with the flexibility to use share options and other awards to provide a means of performance-based compensation. Key employees, directors, trustees, officers, advisors, consultants or other personnel of ours and our subsidiaries or other persons expected to provide significant services to us or our subsidiaries, including employees of the Investment Advisor, would be eligible to be granted share options, restricted shares, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights and other share-based awards under the 2004 equity incentive plan.
61
On April 20, 2010, our Board’s independent trustees, Messrs. Black, Reid and Orphanides, were awarded equity grants under our 2004 equity incentive plan on the following terms: (i) each award was for $80,000 in restricted common shares of the Trust (or 8,000 shares at $10.00 per share) for a total of $240,000; (ii) each award vested in its entirety, upon issuance; and (iii) the independent trustee would not be able to redeem any of the restricted common shares prior to the third anniversary of date of issuance, but retains the rights to dividends declared and paid during such restriction period. We recognized a stock based compensation expense of $240,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010 as a result of granting these awards to our independent trustees.
On June 17, 2011, our Board’s independent trustees, Messrs. Black, Reid and Orphanides, were awarded equity grants under our 2004 equity incentive plan on the following terms: (i) each award was for $9,200 in restricted common shares of the Trust (or 1,000 shares at $9.20 per share) for a total of $27,600; (ii) each award vested in its entirety, upon issuance; and (iii) the independent trustee would not be able to redeem any of the restricted common shares prior to the third anniversary of date of issuance, but retains the rights to dividends declared and paid during such restriction period. We recognized a stock based compensation expense of $27,600 during the year ended December 31, 2011 as a result of granting these awards to our independent trustees.
Administration
The Compensation Committee, appointed by our Board of Trustees, has the full authority to administer and interpret the 2004 equity incentive plan, to authorize the granting of awards, to determine the eligibility of an employee, trustee or consultant to receive an award, to determine the number of common shares to be covered by each award, to determine the terms, provisions and conditions of each award, to prescribe the form of instruments evidencing awards and to take any other actions and make all other determinations that it deems necessary or appropriate. Our Compensation Committee may, among other things, establish performance goals that must be met in order for awards to be granted or to vest, or for the restrictions on any such awards to lapse. From and after the closing of our initial public offering, the 2004 equity incentive plan will be administered by a Compensation Committee consisting of two or more non-employee trustees, each of whom is intended to be, to the extent required by Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, a nonemployee trustee and will, at such times as we are subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, qualify as an “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, or, if no committee exists, the Board of Trustees. References below to our Compensation Committee include a reference to the board for those periods in which the board is acting.
Available shares
Subject to adjustment upon certain corporate transactions or events, a maximum of 20,000,000 common shares (but not more than 10% of the common shares outstanding at the time of grant) may be subject to share options, shares of restricted shares, phantom shares and dividend equivalent rights under the 2004 equity incentive plan. Any common shares withheld or surrendered by plan participants in connection with the payment of an option exercise price or in connection with tax withholding will not count towards the share limitation and will be available for issuance under the 2004 equity incentive plan. If an option or other award granted under the 2004 equity incentive plan expires or terminates, the shares subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards. Unless previously terminated by our Board of Trustees, no new award may be granted under the 2004 equity incentive plan after the tenth anniversary of the date that such plan was initially approved by our Board of Trustees. No award may be granted under our 2004 equity incentive plan to any person who, assuming exercise of all options and payment of all awards held by such person would own or be deemed to own more than 3.0% of our outstanding common shares. As of December 31, 2011, the number of common shares remaining or available for future issuance under the 2004 equity incentive plan was 19,973,000.
Awards Under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan
Options
The terms of specific options, including whether options shall constitute “incentive stock options” for purposes of Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, shall be determined by our Compensation Committee. The exercise price of an option shall be determined by our Compensation Committee and reflected in the applicable award agreement. The exercise price with respect to incentive share options may not be lower than 100%, or 110% in the case of an incentive share option granted to a 10% shareholder, if permitted under the plan, of the fair market value of one of our common shares on the date of grant. Each option will be exercisable after the period or periods specified in the award agreement, which will generally not exceed ten years from the date of grant (or five years in the case of an incentive share option granted to a 10% shareholder, if permitted under the plan). Options will be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms as determined by our Compensation Committee.
62
Restricted Shares
A restricted share award is an award of common shares that is subject to restrictions on transferability and such other restrictions, if any, as our Board of Trustees or Compensation Committee may impose at the date of grant. Grants of restricted shares will be subject to vesting schedules as determined by our Compensation Committee. The restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, including, without limitation, a specified period of employment or the satisfaction of pre-established criteria, in such installments or otherwise, as our Compensation Committee may determine. Except to the extent restricted under the award agreement relating to the restricted shares, a participant granted restricted shares has all of the rights of a shareholder, including, without limitation, the right to vote and the right to receive dividends on the restricted shares. Although dividends are paid on all restricted shares, whether or not vested, at the same rate and on the same date as our common shares, holders of restricted shares are prohibited from selling such shares until they vest.
Phantom Shares
Phantom shares will vest as provided in the applicable award agreement. A phantom share represents a right to receive the fair market value of a share of our common shares, or, if provided by our Compensation Committee, the right to receive the fair market value of a share of our common shares in excess of a base value established by our Compensation Committee at the time of grant. Phantom shares may generally be settled in cash or by transfer of common shares (as may be elected by the participant or our Compensation Committee, as may be provided by our Compensation Committee at grant). Our Compensation Committee may, in its discretion and under certain circumstances, permit a participant to receive as settlement of the phantom shares installments over a period not to exceed ten years. In addition, our Compensation Committee may establish a program under which distributions with respect to phantom shares may be deferred for additional periods as set forth in the preceding sentence.
Dividend Equivalents
A dividend equivalent is a right to receive (or have credited) the equivalent value of dividends declared on common shares otherwise subject to an award. Our Compensation Committee may provide that amounts payable with respect to dividend equivalents shall be converted into cash or additional common shares. Our Compensation Committee will establish all other limitations and conditions of awards of dividend equivalents as it deems appropriate.
Other Share-Based Awards
Our 2004 equity incentive plan authorizes the granting of other awards based upon the common shares (including the grant of securities convertible into common shares and shares appreciation rights), and subject to terms and conditions established at the time of grant.
Adjustments in General; Certain Change in Control Provisions
In the event of certain corporate reorganizations or other events, our Compensation Committee generally may make certain adjustments in its discretion to the manner in which the 2004 equity incentive plan operates (including, for example, to the number of shares available under the plan), and may otherwise take actions which, in its judgment, are necessary to preserve the rights of plan participants. Upon a change in control (as defined in the plan), our Compensation Committee generally may make such adjustments as it, in its discretion, determines are necessary or appropriate in light of the change in control, if our Compensation Committee determines that the adjustments do not have an adverse economic impact on the participants, and certain other special provisions may apply.
Amendment and Termination
Our Board of Trustees may generally amend the 2004 equity incentive plan as it deems advisable, except in certain respects regarding outstanding awards. In addition, the 2004 equity incentive plan may not be amended without shareholder approval if the absence of such approval would cause the 2004 equity incentive plan to fail to comply with any applicable legal requirement or applicable exchange or similar rule.
Performance Bonus Plan
We have adopted a 2004 performance bonus plan. Annual bonuses under our 2004 performance bonus plan may be awarded by our Compensation Committee to selected officers or other employees of ours, or key employees, based on corporate factors or individual factors (or a combination of both). Subject to the provisions of the 2004 performance bonus plan, the Compensation Committee (i) determines and designate those key employees to whom bonuses are to be granted; (ii) determines, consistently with the 2004
63
performance bonus plan, the amount of the bonus to be granted to any key employee for any performance period; and (iii) determines, consistently with the 2004 performance bonus plan, the terms and conditions of each bonus. Bonuses may be so awarded by our Compensation Committee prior to the commencement of any performance period, during or after any performance period. No bonus shall exceed 200% of the key employee’s aggregate salary for the year. The Compensation Committee may provide for partial bonus payments at target and other levels. Corporate performance hurdles for bonuses may be adjusted by our Compensation Committee in its discretion to reflect (i) dilution from corporate acquisitions and share offerings and (ii) changes in applicable accounting rules and standards. Our Compensation Committee may determine that bonuses shall be paid in cash or shares or other equity-based grants, or a combination thereof. Our Compensation Committee may also provide that any such share grants be made under our 2004 equity incentive plan or any other equity-based plan or program we may establish. Our Compensation Committee may provide for programs under which the payment of bonuses may be deferred at the election of the employee. To the extent that compensation under our 2004 performance bonus plan is intended to qualify for certain transitional rules applicable for purposes of 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, it is possible that additional requirements will apply with respect to the establishment (including as to timing) of the performance goals.
As of December 31, 2011, no awards have been granted under our 2004 performance bonus plan.

These beliefs, assumptions and expectations are subject to risks and uncertainties and can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. You should carefully consider these risks before you make an investment decision with respect to our common shares, along with the following factors that could cause actual results to vary from our forward-looking statements:

Overview
We are a Maryland real estate investment trust that invests in real estate properties, focusing primarily on office and industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and to a lesser extent, retail and potentially multi-family residential properties, as well as other real estate-related assets. We may also utilize our expertise and resources to capitalize on unique opportunities that may exist elsewhere in the marketplace, in which we might also acquire interests in mortgages or other investments where we could seek to acquire the underlying property. We will not invest more than 20% of our total assets in any single investment. We intend to invest primarily in properties located in geographically-diverse major metropolitan areas in the United States. In addition, we currently intend to invest up to 30% of our total assets in properties outside of the United States. Our international investments may be in markets in which CBRE Global Investors has existing operations or previous investment experience, or may be in partnership with other entities that have significant local-market expertise. We expect that our international investments will focus on properties typically located in significant business districts and suburban markets.
We commenced operations in July 2004, following an initial private placement of our common shares of beneficial interest. We raised aggregate net proceeds (after commissions and expenses) of approximately $55,500,000 from July 2004 to October 2004 in private placements of our common shares. On October 24, 2006, we commenced an initial public offering of up to $2,000,000,000 in our common shares. Our initial public offering was terminated effective as of the close of business on January 29, 2009. As of the close of business on January 29, 2009, we had sold a total of 60,808,967 common shares in the initial public offering, including 1,487,943 common shares which were issued pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan, and received $607,345,702 in gross proceeds. On January 30, 2009, we commenced a follow-on public offering of up to $3,000,000,000 in our common shares. Our follow-on public offering was terminated effective as of the close of business on January 30, 2012. As of the close of business on January 30, 2012, we had sold a total of 190,672,251 common shares in the follow-on public offering, including 11,170,603 common shares which were issued pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan, and received $1,901,137,211 in gross proceeds. On February 3, 2012, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register 25,000,000 of our common shares for up to $237,500,000 pursuant to the amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan.
We are externally managed by CBRE Advisors LLC, or the Investment Advisor, and all of our real estate investments are held directly by, or indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries of, CBRE Operating Partnership, L.P., or CBRE OP. Generally, we contribute the proceeds we receive from the issuance of common shares for cash to CBRE OP and CBRE OP, in turn, issues units of limited partnership to us, which entitle us to receive our share of CBRE OP’s earnings or losses and net cash flow. Provided we have sufficient available cash flow, we intend to pay our shareholders quarterly cash dividends. We are structured in a manner that allows CBRE OP to issue limited partnership interests from time to time in exchange for real estate properties. By structuring our acquisitions in this manner, the contributors of real estate to CBRE OP are generally able to defer gain recognition for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that portion of our income that is distributed to our shareholders if at least 90% of our net taxable income is distributed to our shareholders.

Our business objective is to maximize shareholder value through: (1) maintaining an experienced management team of investment professionals; (2) investing in properties in certain markets where property fundamentals will support stable income returns and where capital appreciation is expected to be above average; (3) acquiring properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is expected positive rent growth; and (4) repositioning properties to increase their value in the market place. Operating results at our individual properties are impacted by the supply and demand for office, industrial, retail and multifamily space, trends of the national regional economies, the financial health of current and prospective tenants and their customers, capital and credit market trends, construction costs, and interest rate movements. Individual operating property performance is monitored and calculated using certain non-GAAP financial measures such as an analysis of net operating income. An analysis of net operating income as compared to local regional and national statistics may provide insight into short or longer term trends exclusive of capital markets or capital structuring issues. Interest rates are a critical factor in our results of operations. Our properties may be financed with significant amounts of debt, so changes in interest rates may affect both net income and the health of capital markets. For investments outside of the United States, in addition to monitoring local property market fundamentals and capital and credit market trends, we evaluate currency hedging strategies, taxes, the stability of the local government and economy and the experience of our management team in the region.
In 2010, our Board of Trustees established a Special Committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”) consisting of all of the Board’s independent trustees, Messrs. Black (Chairman); Reid and Orphanides, to explore and review our strategic alternatives and liquidity events in accordance with our investment objectives and the Special Committee engaged Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc. as its financial advisor, to assist with its exploration and review of our strategic alternatives and liquidity events in accordance with our investment objectives (as discussed above). During 2011, with the assistance of its financial advisor and in consultation with the Investment Advisor and our Board of Trustees, the Special Committee discussed and considered various strategic alternatives, including potentially continuing as a going concern under our current business plan, a potential liquidation of our assets either through a sale or merger of our company (including through either a bulk sale of our portfolio or through a sale of our individual properties) as well as a potential listing of our shares on a national securities exchange. In December 2011, after consideration of the recent general economic and capital market conditions, market conditions for listed REITs, credit market conditions, our operational performance, the status of our portfolio, our then current offering and our current and anticipated deployment of available capital to investments, the Special Committee and our Board of Trustees determined it was in the best interests of our shareholders for our shares to remain unlisted and to continue operations rather than commencing a liquidation of our assets. The Special Committee and our Board of Trustees believed that remaining unlisted and continuing our operations would provide us with the ability to purchase additional properties in order to continue to expand and diversify our portfolio and thus better position us for a favorable liquidity event. We cannot predict with any certainty the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future and there can be no assurance that our continuing operation will result in any particular outcome or that we will be able to successfully execute strategies relating to capital deployment, additional property acquisitions, or other investment or operational strategies in part or at all. Although our Board of Trustees and the Special Committee continue to monitor market conditions and explore strategic alternatives and liquidity options, including a process to achieve internal management as described below, we cannot provide any assurance or suggested timing as to when we will proceed with any particular transaction.
The advisory agreement with the Investment Advisor expires on April 30, 2012, unless we and our Investment Advisor mutually agree to renew such agreement. In March 2012, the Special Committee determined that our company and its shareholders would benefit from an internal management structure in that such a structure could provide cost savings, improved distribution coverage, flexibility to pursue a variety of strategic initiatives, the ability to take advantage of opportunities created by changing market conditions and an opportunity to enhance the trading values of our common shares to the extent that we pursue and complete a listing of our common shares on a national securities exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global Market. Our Board of Trustees, based on the recommendation of the Special Committee, has authorized the Special Committee to commence a process to achieve internal management.
The Special Committee and the managing member of the Investment Advisor, including their respective legal advisors, have begun negotiating a proposed transitional advisory arrangement to facilitate our company becoming internally managed. As currently being discussed, the transitional advisory arrangement would provide for the continuation of current advisory services by, and payment of fees and expenses to, the Investment Advisor for a period of one year. The Investment Advisor would cooperate with us and take all reasonable steps requested to assist our Board of Trustees in making an orderly transition to become internally managed. As part of any transition arrangement, we would not expect to acquire the Investment Advisor nor pay a separate internalization fee to the Investment Advisor. We would expect to hire certain employees who are currently dedicated to managing our operations, and the Investment Advisor would facilitate our efforts to hire such employees. As we transition these employees to our company, the management fee we would otherwise pay to the Investment Advisor would be reduced by the fixed compensation that the Investment Advisor was paying those employees prior to such transition.
68
As of the date of this report, no agreement has been entered into and there can be no guarantee that an agreement will in fact be agreed to by the parties on such terms or otherwise. The final terms may also vary from the terms currently under negotiation as described above.Were the parties unable to agree on a transition arrangement, the advisory agreement would expire by its terms on April 30, 2012. Thereafter, we would not be able to rely on the Investment Advisor to provide services to us. We would rely on our Board of Trustees and seek to hire employees and engage third party service providers to identify and acquire future investments for us, manage our investments and operate our day-to-day activities. While we would no longer bear the costs of the various fees and expenses we pay to the Investment Advisor under the current advisory agreement, our direct expenses would include general and administrative costs, including legal, accounting, SEC reporting and compliance, and compensation costs and other employee benefits.
The capital markets experienced significant distress during the first half of 2009 yet began to improve during the later part of 2009 and into 2010 such that we experienced indications of market stabilization and since then have had improved access to debt financing on attractive terms. During 2010 and into 2011, we noted the initial signs of strengthening in the commercial real estate market, especially for high-quality stabilized properties leased to credit worthy tenants on a long-term basis.
During 2011, the slow pace of recovery in the general economy continued with improvement in certain key metrics such as unemployment and corporate profits. However, several factors such as the downgrade of the United States credit rating by Standard & Poor’s, unresolved United States national debt ceiling discussions and sovereign debt issues in Europe continue to impact the willingness and ability of businesses to make long term capital commitments.
In the current uncertain environment, capital availability remains concentrated, however, on the highest quality, well-leased and strategically positioned properties that provide lower risk and more stable investment return potential. Construction and development of new properties remains tightly constrained. As a well-capitalized core investor with modest levels of leverage, we expect we will continue to benefit from improved access to attractive investment opportunities and reduced competition to acquire real estate assets. In particular, due to the current uncertainty in Europe resulting from its sovereign debt crisis, we may face enhanced opportunities to acquire additional high-quality properties in strong European markets. Moreover, notwithstanding the condition of the general economy, we were able to execute on our investment objectives during 2011.
Should capital market volatility increase in 2012, it may once again become somewhat challenging for commercial real estate owners, operators, investors and lenders to obtain cost-effective debt capital to finance new investments or to refinance maturing debt. We believe, however, that in such an environment, we would be well positioned due to our modest leverage, modest near-term capital needs and current liquidity position.
As of December 31, 2011, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 77 office, industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and retail properties located in 16 states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Virginia) and in the United Kingdom, encompassing approximately 14,434,000 rentable square feet. Our consolidated properties were approximately 97.41% leased (based upon square feet) as of December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, certain of our consolidated properties were subject to mortgage debt, a description of which is set forth in “—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing.”
In addition, we had ownership interests in five unconsolidated entities that, as of December 31, 2011, owned interests in 53 properties. Excluding those properties owned through our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, we owned, on an unconsolidated basis, 45 office, industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and retail properties located in ten states (Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas) and in the United Kingdom and Europe encompassing approximately 13,851,000 rentable square feet. Our unconsolidated properties were approximately 98.42% leased (based upon square feet) as of December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, certain of our unconsolidated properties were subject to mortgage debt, a description of which is set forth in Item 7 “—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing.”
For a discussion of and detailed disclosure regarding our portfolio, see “Item 2. Properties.”
Critical Accounting Policies
Management believes our most critical accounting policies are accounting for lease revenues (including straight-line rent), regular evaluation of whether the value of a real estate asset has been impaired, real estate purchase price allocations and accounting for our derivatives and hedging activities, if any. Each of these items involves estimates that require management to make judgments that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical data and current market data, and analyzes these assumptions in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. Under different conditions or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported related to the accounting policies described below. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments on the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
69
Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Receivables
All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is recorded as deferred rent. In connection with various leases, we have received irrevocable stand-by letters of credit totaling $16,714,000 and $6,515,000 as security for such leases at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Reimbursements from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable costs, are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis, when we are the primary obligor with respect to incurring expenses and with respect to having the credit risk.
Tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible current tenant receivables and deferred rent. Management’s determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, individual receivables, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The allowances are increased or decreased through the provision for bad debts. The allowance for uncollectible rent receivable was $821,000 and $83,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we wrote off $310,000 of the uncollectible rent receivables for the tenant Randal C. Espey at the Deerfield Commons I property, tenants Cell Arch Technologies, Inc. and Keogh Consulting, Inc. at the Lakeside Office Center, tenant Romeo Rim, Inc. at the Cherokee Corporate Park, and the tenant Amax Engineering Corporation at the 660 North Dorothy. $209,000 of allowance for doubtful accounts was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2010. In association with these uncollectible rents, the unamortized tangible and intangible asset balances totaling $27,000 were also written off during the year ended December 31, 2010, of which ($10,000), $5,000, $8,000 and $24,000 are related to above/below market leases, lease commissions, tenant improvements and in place lease value, respectively.
Investments in Real Estate and Related Long-Lived Assets (Impairment Evaluation)
We record investments in real estate at cost (including third-party acquisition expenses) and we capitalize improvements and replacements when they extend the useful life or improve the efficiency of the asset. We expense costs of repairs and maintenance as incurred. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of our real estate assets, which we expect to be approximately 39 years for buildings and improvements, three to five years for equipment and fixtures and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because, if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis throughout the expected useful lives of the related assets.
We have adopted,“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“FASB ASC 360-10”), which establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets including discontinued operations. This accounting provision requires that the operations related to properties that have been sold or that we intend to sell be presented as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented, and properties we intend to sell be designated as “held for sale” on our balance sheet.
When circumstances such as adverse market conditions indicate a possible impairment of the value of a property, we review the recoverability of the property’s carrying value. The review of recoverability is based on our estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. Our forecast of these cash flows considers factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. These factors contain subjectivity and thus are not able to be precisely estimated. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of our investments in real estate.
We assess whether there has been impairment in the value of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset group identified for step two
70
testing is based on either the income approach with market discount rate, terminal capitalization rate and rental rate assumptions being most critical, or on the sales comparison approach to similar properties. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.
We recognized impairment for our consolidated investment in Kings Mountain III in the amount of $9,160,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009 which reduced our carrying value of the property to $15,300,000. The impairment reflects our estimates of the fair value of the Kings Mountain III property which is based on an appraisal using the sales comparable method which is a Level 3 Valuation Method as described in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments.” No impairment for consolidated investments was recognized during 2011 or 2010.
Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate
We apply the acquisition method to all acquired real estate investments. The purchase consideration of the real estate is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, site improvements, building and tenant improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases, value of tenant relationships and acquired ground leases, based in each case on their fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market loans, will be recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land (or acquired ground lease if the land is subject to a ground lease), site improvements, building and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.
In allocating the purchase consideration of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases; and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease and, for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized below-market lease values, also referred to as acquired lease obligations, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial terms of the respective leases and any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a decrease to rental income over the initial terms of the prospective leases.
The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, is measured by the estimated cost of operations during a theoretical lease-up period to replace in-place leases, including lost revenues and any unreimbursed operating expenses, plus an estimate of deferred leasing commissions for in-place leases. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease value and tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value for the real estate acquired as such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for these particular acquisitions. Should future acquisitions of properties result in allocating material amounts to the value of tenant relationships, an amount would be separately allocated and amortized over the estimated life of the relationship. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written-off.
Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities
All of our derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. We periodically review the effectiveness of each hedging transaction, which involves estimating future cash flows. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive
71
income within shareholders’ equity. Calculation of a fair value of derivative instruments also requires management to use estimates. Amounts will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written-off.
Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate 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. The changes in fair value hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities, with the corresponding amount recorded in current period earnings. We have certain interest rate swap derivatives that are designated as qualifying cash flow hedges and follow the accounting treatment discussed above. We also have certain interest rate swap derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, and accordingly, changes in fair values are recognized in current earnings.
We disclose the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. We also provide more information about our liquidity by disclosing derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, we cross-reference within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments; See Note 15 “Derivative Instruments” and Note 17 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments” for a further discussion of our derivative financial instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments
We elected to apply the fair value option for one of our eligible mortgage notes payable that was newly issued debt during the year ended December 31, 2008. The measurement of the elected mortgage note payable at its fair value and its impact on the statement of operations is described in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements “Fair Value Option—Note Payable” and Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments.”
We generally determine or calculate the fair value of financial instruments using the appropriate present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating available market discount rate information for similar types of instruments and our estimates for non-performance and liquidity risk. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flow. The Investment Manager of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia applies valuation techniques for our investment carried at fair value based upon the application of the income approach, the direct market comparison approach, the replacement cost approach or third party appraisals to the underlying assets held in the unconsolidated entity in determining the net asset value attributable to our ownership interest therein. The financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated financial statements are the seven interest rate swaps, our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia (a real estate entity which qualifies as an investment company under the Investment Company Act with respect to its accounting treatment) and one mortgage note payable that is economically hedged by one of the interest rate swaps.
The remaining financial assets and liabilities which are only disclosed at fair value are comprised of all other notes payable, the unsecured line of credit and other debt instruments. We determined the fair value of our secured notes payable and other debt instruments by performing discounted cash flow analyses using an appropriate market discount rate. We calculate the market discount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) rates for variable-rate debt, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our debt and then adding an appropriate credit spread derived from information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit standing, the maturity of the debt, whether the debt is secured or unsecured, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
We adopted the fair value measurement criteria described herein for our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on January 1, 2009. The adoption of the fair value measurement criteria to our non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Assets and liabilities typically recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis include:
| | ¡ | | Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in an acquisition or business combination; |
| | ¡ | | Long-lived assets measured at fair value due to an impairment assessment and |
| | ¡ | | Asset retirement obligations initially measured under the Codification Topic“Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” (“FASB ASC 410”). |

Rental Operations
Our reportable segments consist of three types of commercial real estate properties for which our management internally evaluates operating performance and financial results: the Domestic Industrial Properties, Domestic Office Properties and International Office/Retail Properties. We evaluate the performance of our segments based on net operating income, defined as: rental income and tenant reimbursements less property and related expenses (operating and maintenance, management fees and real estate taxes) and excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and our company-level general and administrative expenses. The following tables compare the net operating income for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

75

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we made net payments on interest rate swaps of $700,000 compared to $1,096,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease is a result of higher variable interest rates for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010.

The decrease was primarily due to additional interest expense and deferred financing cost amortization for the Duke joint venture secured and unsecured term loans for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Duke joint venture increased its debt by $239,075,000 of which our share was $191,260,000 from December 31, 2010 to 2011, investments in properties by the Duke joint venture also increased by $342,800,000 of which our share was $274,240,000 as proceeds from the loans were used to acquire more assets.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we made net payments on interest rate swaps of ($1,096,000) as compared to ($660,000) on interest rate swaps during the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase is a result of a one-time payment for Thames Valley Five to unwind a portion of the swap and lower variable interest rates for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Liquidity is a measurement of the ability to meet cash requirements, including funding investments and ongoing commitments, to repay borrowings, to make distributions to our shareholders and other general business needs. Our sources of funds will primarily be the remaining net proceeds of our follow-on public offering, our current dividend reinvestment plan offering, operating cash flows and
78
borrowings, including under our Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility. We believe that these cash resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from other than these sources within the next twelve months. Cash flow from operations is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent and operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating and other costs. Depending on market conditions, we expect that once the net proceeds of our follow-on offering is fully invested, our debt financing will be approximately 65% of the value of the cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. The amount of debt we place on an individual property, or the amount of debt incurred by an individual entity in which we invest, may be more or less than 65% of the value of such property or the value of the assets owned by such entity, depending on market conditions and other factors. In fact, depending on market conditions and other factors, we may choose not to place debt on our portfolio or our assets and may choose not to borrow to finance our operations or to acquire properties. Our declaration of trust limits our borrowing to 300% of our net assets unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent trustees and is disclosed to our shareholders in our next quarterly report. Our declaration of trust defines “net assets” as our total assets (other than intangibles) at cost, before deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts or other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities, calculated at least quarterly by us on a basis consistently applied; provided, however, that during such periods in which we are obtaining regular independent valuations of the current value of its net assets for purposes of enabling fiduciaries of employee benefit plan shareholders to comply with applicable Department of Labor reporting requirements, “net assets” means the greater of (i) the amount determined pursuant to the foregoing and (ii) the assets’ aggregate valuation established by the most recent such valuation report without reduction for depreciation, bad debts or other non-cash reserves. Any indebtedness we do incur will likely be subject to continuing covenants, and we will likely be required to make continuing representations and warranties in connection with such debt. Moreover, some or all of our debt may be secured by some or all of our assets. If we default in the payment of interest or principal on any such debt, breach any representation or warranty in connection with any borrowing or violate any covenant in any loan document, our lender may accelerate the maturity of such debt requiring us to immediately repay all outstanding principal. If we are unable to make such payment, our lender could foreclose on our assets that are pledged as collateral to such lender. The lender could also sue us or force us into bankruptcy. Any such event would have a material adverse effect on the value of our common shares. We believe that, even without any proceeds raised from our public offering, we have sufficient cash flow from operations to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future.
In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to the Investment Advisor. During the acquisition and operational stages, certain services related to the acquisition and management of our investments and our operations have been provided to us by the Investment Advisor pursuant to the amended and restated advisory agreement which we entered into with the Investment Advisor in December 2010. The current term of the advisory agreement expires on April 30, 2012, unless we and the Investment Advisor mutually agree to renew such agreement. See “—Overview.” Pursuant to the current advisory agreement, we make various payments to the Investment Advisor, including acquisition fees, investment management fees and payments for reimbursements of certain costs incurred by the Investment Advisor in providing related services to us. See Note 11 “Investment Management and Other Fees to Related Parties,” for a discussion of fees and expenses paid to the Investment Advisor for the year ended December 31, 2011.
In order to avoid corporate-level tax on our net taxable income, we are required to pay distributions to our shareholders equal to our net taxable income. In addition, to qualify as a REIT, we generally are required to pay annual distributions to our shareholders equal to at least 90% of our net ordinary taxable income. Therefore, once the net proceeds we received from our follow on public offering are substantially fully invested, we will need to raise additional capital in order to grow our business and acquire additional real estate investments. We anticipate borrowing funds to obtain additional capital, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
As of December 31, 2011, we had $238,277,000 cash and cash equivalents available as well as $100,000,000 available under the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility.
Historical Cash Flows
Our net cash provided by operating activities increased by $19,346,000 to $58,913,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $39,567,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase was due to the positive operating results from 2010 acquisitions and 2011 acquisitions for both consolidated properties and the Duke joint venture.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $347,954,000 to $333,166,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $681,120,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease was mainly due to reduced cash flow invested in real estate properties and investments in unconsolidated entities during the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $112,860,000 to $464,356,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $577,216,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease was due to an increase in payment on loan payable of $85,000,000, an increase in principal payments on notes payable of $51,085,000, an increase in shareholder redemptions of $22,833,000, an increase in distributions to shareholders of $18,976,000, an increase in payment of offering costs of $15,926,000, a decrease in proceeds from notes payable of $15,900,000, a decrease in borrowing on loan payable of $10,000,000 and a decrease in security deposit of $464,000, offset by an increase in proceeds from the public offering of $103,908,000, a decrease in deferred financing costs of $2,728,000 and capital contribution from Non-Controlling Interest-Variable Interest Entity of $686,000.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds from Operations
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors consider presentations of operating results for REITs that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Consequently, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, created Funds from Operations, or FFO, as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance.
FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net income. FFO, as we define it, is presented as a supplemental financial measure. Management believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of REIT performance. FFO does not present, nor do we intend for it to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and/or operating performance. We believe that net income, as computed under GAAP, appropriately remains the primary measure of our performance and that FFO, when considered in conjunction with net income, improves the investing public’s understanding of the operating results of REITs and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful.
We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. Modifications to the NAREIT calculation of FFO are common among REITs, as companies seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their business and provide greater transparency to the investing public as to how our management team considers our results of operations. As a result, our FFO may not be comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. The revised NAREIT White Paper on FFO defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, impairment charges and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Management believes that NAREIT’s definition of FFO reflects the fact that real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time, and that depreciation charges required by GAAP do not always reflect the underlying economic realities. Likewise, the exclusion from NAREIT’s definition of FFO of impairment charges and gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT’s activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Thus, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. Management also believes that FFO provides useful information to the investment community about our financial performance when compared to other REITs, since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs.
However, changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that have been put into effect since the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in the non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO. Furthermore, publicly registered, non-traded REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity during their initial years of investment and operation and therefore we believe require additional adjustments to FFO in evaluating performance. As a result, in addition to presenting FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, we also disclose FFO, as adjusted, which excludes the effects of acquisition costs and unrealized gain/loss in investments in unconsolidated entities. FFO, as adjusted, is a useful measure to management’s decision-making process. As discussed below, period to period fluctuations in the excluded items can be driven by short-term factors that are not particularly relevant to our long-term investment decisions, long-term capital structures or long-term tax planning and tax structuring decisions.
We believe that adjusting FFO to exclude these acquisition costs and unrealized gains/losses more appropriately presents our results of operations on a comparative basis. The items that we exclude from net income are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause both positive and negative effects on our results of operations, often in inconsistent and unpredictable directions. For example, our acquisition costs are primarily the result of the volume of our acquisitions completed during each period, and therefore we believe such acquisition costs are not reflective of our operating results during each period. Similarly, unrealized gains or non-cash impairment charges that we have recognized during a given period are based primarily upon changes in the estimated fair market
80
value of certain of our investments due to deterioration in market conditions and do not necessarily reflect the operating performance of these properties during the corresponding period.
We believe that FFO, as adjusted, is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We believe that adjusting FFO to exclude acquisition costs provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time, including after we cease to acquire properties on a frequent and regular basis and allows for a comparison of the performance of our portfolio with other REITs that are not currently engaging in acquisitions. In addition, as many other non-traded REITs adjust FFO to exclude acquisition costs and impairment charges, we believe that our calculation and reporting of FFO, as adjusted, will assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance with that of other non-traded REITs. We also believe that FFO, as adjusted, may provide investors with a useful indication of our future performance, particularly after our acquisition stage, and of the sustainability of our current distribution policy. However, because FFO, as adjusted, excludes acquisition costs, which are an important component in an analysis of our historical performance, such supplemental measure should not be construed as a historical performance measure and may not be as useful a measure for estimating the value of our common shares. In addition, the impairment charges that we exclude from FFO, as adjusted, may be realized as a loss in the future upon the ultimate disposition of the related properties or other assets through the form of lower cash proceeds. FFO and FFO as adjusted measure cash generated from operating activities not in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to (i) net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as indications of our financial performance, or (ii) to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, each of FFO and FFO, as adjusted, should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Not all REITs calculate FFO and FFO, as adjusted (or an equivalent measure), in the same manner and therefore comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.

Interest payments are due monthly with principal due at maturity. In addition, we incurred financing costs totaling $313,000 in conjunction with the assumption of the loan.
Loan Payable
On May 26, 2010, we entered into a $70,000,000 revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. The initial maturity date of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility is May 26, 2014, however we may extend the maturity date to May 26, 2015, subject to certain conditions. $15,000,000 of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility was initially drawn upon closing on May 26, 2010, with $55,000,000 initially remaining available for disbursement during the term of the facility. We have the right to prepay any outstanding amount of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty at any time during the term of this Wells Fargo Credit Facility, however, we initially could not reduce the outstanding principal balance below a minimum outstanding amount of $15,000,000, without reducing the total $70,000,000 Wells Fargo Credit Facility capacity. Initially, the Wells Fargo Credit Facility had a floating interest rate of 300 basis points over LIBOR, however this interest rate would be at least 4.00% for any of the outstanding balance that was not subject to an interest rate swap with an initial term of at least two years. Upon closing on May 26, 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to effectively fix the interest rate on the initial $15,000,000 outstanding loan amount at 5.10% for the four-year term of the facility.
The interest rate swap was designated as a qualifying cash flow hedge at the start date of the hedge relationship as described in Note 15 “Derivative Instruments.” The Wells Fargo Credit Facility was initially secured by our 13201 Wilfred, 3011, 3055 & 3077 Comcast Place, 140 Depot Street, Crest Ridge Corporate Center I and West Point Trade Center properties. In addition, CBRE OP provides a limited guarantee for the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility is subject to certain customary financial covenants, including certain negative financial covenants, which we believe we were in compliance with as December 31, 2011. A commitment fee of $1,050,000 was paid to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. at the initial closing.
On August 31, 2010, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to expand the Wells Fargo Credit Facility from its initial capacity of $70,000,000 to an amended capacity of $125,000,000 (the “Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility”). In connection with the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility, the minimum outstanding amount was increased to $25,000,000 and as such an additional $10,000,000 was drawn (in addition to the $15,000,000 initially drawn on May 26, 2010) with the remaining $100,000,000 available for disbursement during the term of the facility. The Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility is secured by an additional three of our properties, for a total of eight properties in all: 13201 Wilfred Lane, 3011, 3055 & 3077 Comcast Place, 140 Depot Street, Crest Ridge Corporate Center, West Point Trade Center, 5160 Hacienda Drive, 10450 Pacific Center Court and 225 Summit Avenue. The interest rate was reduced by 25 basis points to 275 basis points over LIBOR (which rate will apply to all withdrawals from the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility other than the initial $15,000,000 that was drawn on May 26, 2010) and the initial interest rate floor of 4.00% was eliminated. The initial maturity date remains May 26, 2014, however we may extend the maturity date to May 26, 2015, subject to certain conditions. The Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility is subject to certain representations and warranties and customary financial covenants (including certain negative financial covenants) with which we believe we were in compliance as of December 31, 2011. A commitment fee of $632,500 was paid to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. at closing of the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, $30,000,000 was drawn and $65,000,000 was repaid in connection with the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility leaving a $25,000,000 balance at December 31, 2011, with the remaining $100,000,000 available for disbursement during the term of the facility. The $25,000,000 is included in Loan Payable on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Distribution Policy
In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code we generally must make distributions to our shareholders each year in an amount at least equal to 90% of our REIT taxable income (as determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain).
It is anticipated that distributions generally will be taxable as ordinary income to our shareholders, although a portion of such distributions may be designated by us as a return of capital or as capital gain. We will furnish annually to each of our shareholders a statement setting forth distributions paid during the preceding year and their characterization as ordinary income, return of capital or capital gains.

To the extent that our cash available for distribution is less than the amount we are required to distribute to qualify as a REIT, we may consider various funding sources to cover any shortfall, including borrowing funds on a short-term, or possibly long-term, basis or selling properties. In addition, we may utilize these funding sources to make distributions that exceed the amount we are required to distribute to qualify as a REIT.

As of December 31, 2011, we had an unfunded investment commitment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia totaling $4,503,000. The timing of future payments is uncertain.
Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income that we distribute currently to our shareholders. Under the Internal Revenue Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they generally distribute at least 90% of their annual net taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to their shareholders. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any year, our income will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following our failure to qualify. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may still be subject to state, local and foreign taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed gross income. Our properties located in Texas are subject to a Texas Gross Margin Tax, Deerfield Commons I is subject to a Georgia Net Worth Tax, properties located in Massachusetts are subject to a Massachusetts Net Worth Tax and properties located in North Carolina are subject to a North Carolina Franchise Tax under which we incurred a total of approximately $456,000 and $296,000 of taxes for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Inflation
The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past several years due to the relatively low inflation rate. With the exception of leases with tenants in multifamily properties, we expect to include provisions in the majority of our tenant leases designed to protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions will include reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain allowance. Due to the generally long-term nature of these leases, annual rent increases may not be sufficient to cover inflation and rent may be below market. Leases in multifamily properties generally turn over on an annual basis and do not typically present the same issue regarding inflation protection due to their short-term nature.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we expect that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk.
We may be exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. 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 our objectives, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

Upon the maturity of our debt, there is a market risk as to the prevailing rates at the time of refinancing. Changes in market rates on our fixed-rate debt affect the fair market value of our debt but it has no impact on interest expense or cash flow. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on our fixed rate debt would not increase or decrease our annual interest expense on our fixed rate debt.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have formally adopted a policy for disclosure controls and procedures that provides guidance on the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and is designed to ensure that all corporate disclosure is complete and accurate in all material respects and that all information required to be disclosed in the periodic reports submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods and in the manner specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial offer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within our company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports. Also, we have an investment in five unconsolidated entities. As we do not control these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to these entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, as required by the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13(a)-15(e), our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f), including maintenance of (i) records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, and (ii) policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, (b) our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our Board of Trustees and (c) we will prevent or timely detect unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of the inherent limitations of any system of internal control. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses of judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper overriding of controls. As a result of such limitations, there is risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the COSO framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011. The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
No changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of
CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust
Los Angeles, California
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 of the Company and our report dated March 30, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of
CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust
Los Angeles, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Duke/Hulfish, LLC (a joint venture), which statements reflect total assets constituting 15% and 18% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Duke/Hulfish, LLC, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, based on our audits and (as to the amounts included for Duke/Hulfish, LLC) the report of the other auditors, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of presenting comprehensive income in 2011 due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The change in presentation has been applied retrospectively to all periods presented.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 30, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2004. The Company was incorporated to raise capital and acquire ownership interests in high quality real estate properties, including primarily on office and industrial (primarily warehouse/distribution) and, to a lesser extent, retail and potentially multi-family residential properties, as well as other real estate related assets.
On July 1, 2004, the Company commenced operations and issued 6,844,313 common shares of beneficial interest in connection with the initial capitalization of the Company. For each common share the Company issued, one limited partnership unit in CBRE OP was issued to the Company in exchange for the cash proceeds from the issuance of the common shares. In addition, CBRE REIT Holdings, LLC (“REIT Holdings”) an affiliate of CBRE Advisors LLC (the “Investment Advisor”), purchased 29,937 limited partnership units in CBRE OP as a limited partner. During October 2004, the Company issued an additional 123,449 common shares of beneficial interest to an unrelated third-party investor.
On January 5, 2011 and on February 23, 2011, the Company formed taxable REIT subsidiaries (Rickenbacker II, LLC and Rickenbacker III, LLC, respectively) to hold two real estate assets designated by management as held for sale which represent non-qualified REIT assets.
On October 24, 2006, the Company commenced an initial public offering of up to $2,000,000,000 of its common shares. In connection with that offering, the Company had accepted subscriptions from 13,270 investors, issued 60,808,967 common shares including 1,487,943 common shares issued pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan, and received $607,345,702 in gross proceeds. Our initial public offering was terminated effective as of the close of business on January 29, 2009. On January 30, 2009, the Company commenced a follow-on public offering of up to $3,000,000,000 in of its common shares. In connection with that offering, from January 30, 2009 (effective date) through January 30, 2012 (close), we had accepted subscriptions from 49,990 investors, issued 190,672,251 common shares including 11,170,603 common shares issued pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan, and received $1,901,137,211 in gross proceeds. On February 3, 2012, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register 25,000,000 of its common shares for up to $237,500,000 pursuant to the amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan.
The Company operates in an umbrella partnership REIT structure in which its majority-owned subsidiary, CBRE OP, owns, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the properties acquired on behalf of the Company. The Company, as the sole general partner of CBRE OP, owns approximately 99.89% of the common partnership units therein. REIT Holdings, an affiliate of the Investment Advisor, holds the remaining interest through 246,361 limited partnership units representing approximately a 0.11% ownership interest in the total limited partnership units. In exchange for services provided to the Company relating to its formation and future services, REIT Holdings also owns a Class B limited partnership interest (“Class B interest”). The Investment Advisor is affiliated with the Company in that the two entities have common officers and trustees, some of whom also own equity interests in the Investment Advisor and the Company. All business activities of the Company are managed by the Investment Advisor.
Unless the context otherwise requires or indicates, references to “we,” “the Company” “our,” and “us” refer to the activities of and the assets and liabilities of the business and operations of CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust and its subsidiaries.

in non-controlling interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. CBRE Global Investors (“CBRE Global Investors”), an affiliate of the Investment Advisor, also owns an interest in us through its ownership of 243,229 common shares of beneficial interest at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
We determine if an entity is a VIE based on several factors, including whether the entity’s total equity investment at risk upon inception is sufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. We make judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk based first on a qualitative analysis, then a quantitative analysis, if necessary. In a quantitative analysis, we incorporate various estimates, including estimated future cash flows, asset hold periods and discount rates, as well as estimates of the probabilities of various scenarios occurring. If the entity is a VIE, we then determine whether we consolidate the entity as the primary beneficiary. We determine whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether it should be consolidated by utilizing judgments and estimates that are inherently subjective. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates in these evaluations, it could result in differing conclusions as to whether or not an entity is a VIE and whether or not we consolidate such entity.
Our determination of the appropriate accounting method with respect to our investment in CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners Asia II-A, L.P. (“CBRE Strategic Partners Asia”), which is not considered a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), is partially based on CBRE Strategic Partners Asia’s sufficiency of equity investment at risk which was triggered by a substantial paydown during 2009 of its subscription line of credit backed by investor capital commitments to fund its operations. The subscription line of credit was paid in full on March 28, 2011. We account for this investment under the equity method of accounting.
With respect to our majority limited membership interest in the Duke/Hulfish, LLC joint venture (the “Duke joint venture”), the Afton Ridge Joint Venture, LLC (“Afton Ridge”), the Goodman Princeton Holdings (Jersey) Limited joint venture (the “UK JV”) and the Goodman Princeton Holdings (LUX) SARL joint venture (the “European JV”), we considered the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic “Consolidation” (“FASB ASC 810”) in determining that we did not have control over the financial and operating decisions of such entities due to the existence of substantive participating rights held by the minority limited members who are also the managing members of the Duke joint venture and Afton Ridge, and the investment advisors/managers of the UK JV and the European JV, respectively.
We carry our investments in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, the Duke joint venture, Afton Ridge, the UK JV and the European JV on the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of each such entity.
We eliminate transactions with such equity method entities to the extent of our ownership in each such entity. Accordingly, our share of net income (loss) of these equity method entities is included in consolidated net income (loss). CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is a limited partnership that qualifies for specialized industry accounting for investment companies. On the basis of the guidance in ASC 970-323, the Company accounts for its investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia under the equity method. Specialized industry accounting allows investment companies to carry their investments at fair value, with changes in the fair value of the investments recorded in the statement of operations. As a result, and in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-15 the specialized accounting treatment, principally the fair value basis applied by CBRE Strategic Partners Asia under the investment company guide, is retained in the recognition of equity method earnings in the statement of operations of the Company. See Note 17 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments” for further discussion of the application of the fair value accounting to our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
In December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2009-17, “Consolidations” (“Topic 810”):Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.” This ASU incorporates Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” issued by the FASB in June 2009. The amendments in this ASU replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance and (i) the obligation to absorb losses of such entity or (ii) the right to receive benefits from such entity. ASU 2009-17 also requires additional disclosures about a reporting entity’s involvement in variable interest entities, which enhances the information provided to users of financial statements.
In October 2011, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, RT Atwater Holding, LLC, entered into a real estate development venture with the Trammel Crow Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE Group, Inc. a related party of ours, whereby the Company would own 95% of the newly formed entity and the Trammel Crow Company would own the remaining 5% of the entity. The new entity, RT/TC Atwater, LP (“Atwater”), was formed for the purpose of developing and then operating a build-to-suit suburban office and research facility for a single tenant that has agreed to a minimum lease term of 12 years starting from the completion of construction of the facility. Through the provisions of the Atwater, LP agreement, the REIT and the Trammel Crow Company collectively have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity. The entity was deemed a variable interest entity and the entity within the related party group most closely associated with the entity, the REIT, began to consolidate the entity at its inception in October 2011.
Atwater’s construction in progress and other assets, including the initial land acquired by Atwater in October 2011, is $17,233,000 at December 31, 2011. The assets of the entity are the sole collateral for the other liabilities of the entity. For the year ended December 31, 2011, there were no revenues and operating expenses relating to the operating activities of the entity. All activity of the entity has been strictly geared toward the development of the property. The capital account of the Trammel Crow Company is included in non-controlling interest—variable interest entity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Information
We currently operate our consolidated properties in two geographic areas, the United States and the United Kingdom. We view our consolidated property operations as three reportable segments, a Domestic Industrial segment, a Domestic Office segment and an International Office/Retail segment, which participate in the acquisition, development, ownership, and operation of high quality real estate in their respective segments.

Cash Equivalents
We consider short-term investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, cash equivalents consisted primarily of investments in money market funds.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents those cash accounts for which the use of funds is restricted by loan covenants. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 our restricted cash balance was $7,216,000 and $2,058,000, respectively, which represents amounts set aside as impounds for future property tax payments, property insurance payments and tenant improvement payments as required by our agreements with our lenders.
Discontinued Operations and Real Estate Held for Sale
In a period in which a property has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the statements of operations for current and prior periods report the results of operations of the property as discontinued operations.
At such time as a property is deemed held for sale, such property is carried at the lower of: (1) its carrying amount or (2) fair value less costs to sell. In addition, a property being held for sale ceases to be depreciated. We classify operating properties as property held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:
| | ¡ | | management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset; |
| | ¡ | | the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; |
| | ¡ | | an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset has been initiated; |
| | ¡ | | the sale of the asset is probable and the transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; |
| | ¡ | | the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and |
| | ¡ | | given the actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset, it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan would be made or that the plan would be withdrawn. |
As of December 31, 2010, we had two properties (Rickenbacker II and Rickenbacker III) held for sale. Rickenbacker II and Rickenbacker III were sold on August 12, 2011.
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
All of our derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. We periodically review the effectiveness of each hedging transaction, which involves estimating future cash flows. Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. Calculation of the fair value of derivative instruments also requires management to use estimates. Amounts will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings
Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate 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. The changes in fair value hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities, with the corresponding amount recorded in current period earnings. We have certain interest rate swap derivatives that are designated as qualifying cash flow hedges and follow the accounting treatment discussed above. We also have certain interest rate swap derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, and accordingly, changes in fair values are recognized in current earnings.

Investments in Real Estate and Related Long Lived Assets (Impairment Evaluation)
Our investments in real estate is stated at depreciated cost. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows:
| | |
Buildings and Improvements | | 39 years |
Site Improvements | | 15 and 25 years |
Tenant Improvements | | Shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the related leases |
Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. As of December 31, 2011, we owned on a consolidated basis, 77 real estate investments. As of December 31, 2010, we owned, on a consolidated basis, 71, exclusive of the two properties held for sale, real estate investments.

On December 30, 2011, we acquired Sabal Pavilion, a single tenant office building located in Tampa, FL. The purchase price was $21,368,000.
We assess whether there has been impairment in the value of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset group indentified for step two testing is based on either the income approach with market discount rate, terminal capitalization rate and rental rate assumptions being most critical, or on the sales comparison approach to similar properties. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Our properties are located throughout the United States and in the United Kingdom. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory, and social factors affecting the communities in which the tenants operate. Our credit risk relates primarily to cash, restricted cash, and interest rate swap and cap agreements. Cash accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 through December 31, 2013.

CB RICHARD ELLIS REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
We have not experienced any losses to date on our invested cash and restricted cash. The interest rate cap and swap agreements create credit risk. Credit risk arises from the potential failure of counterparties to perform in accordance with the terms of their contracts. Our risk management policies define parameters of acceptable market risk and limit exposure to credit risk. Credit exposure resulting from derivative financial instruments is represented by their fair value amounts, increased by an estimate of potential adverse position exposure arising from changes over time in interest rates, maturities, and other relevant factors. We do not anticipate nonperformance by any of our counterparties.
Non-Controlling Interest—Operating Partnership Units
We owned a 99.89% and 99.85% partnership interest in CBRE OP as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The remaining 0.11% and 0.15% partnership interest as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, was owned by REIT Holdings in the form of 246,361 non-controlling operating partnership units which were exchangeable on a one for one basis for common shares of the Company, with an estimated aggregate redemption value of $2,464,000.
With respect to the operating partnership units, FASB ASC 480-10Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity requires non-controlling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common shares at the option of the issuer to be further evaluated under the Codification Sub-Topic “Derivatives and Hedging—Conditions Necessary for Equity Classification” (“FASB ASC 815-40-25-10”) to determine whether permanent equity or temporary equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. Since the operating partnership units contain such a provision, the Company evaluated this guidance and determined that the operating partnership units do not meet the requirements to qualify for equity presentation. As a result, upon the adoption of FASB ASC 810Consolidation and the related revisions to FASB ASC 480-10 the operating partnership units are presented in the temporary equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and reported at the higher of their proportionate share of the net assets of CBRE OP or fair value, with period to period changes in value reported as an adjustment to shareholder’s equity. Under the terms of the Second Amended Partnership Agreement, the fair value of the operating partnership units is determined as an amount equal to the redemption value as defined therein.
Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate
We apply the acquisition method to all acquired real estate investments. The purchase consideration of the real estate is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, site improvements, building and tenant improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases, value of tenant relationships and acquired ground leases, based in each case on their fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market loans, will be recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land (or acquired ground lease if the land is subject to a ground lease), site improvements, building and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.
In allocating the purchase consideration of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases; and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease and, for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized below-market lease values, also referred to as acquired lease obligations, are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial terms of the respective leases and any below-market fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a decrease to rental income over the initial terms of the prospective leases.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, is measured by the estimated cost of operations during a theoretical lease-up period to replace in-place leases, including lost revenues and any unreimbursed operating expenses, plus an estimate of deferred leasing commissions for in-place leases. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease value and tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value for the real estate acquired as such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for these particular acquisitions. Should future acquisitions of properties result in allocating material amounts to the value of tenant relationships, an amount would be separately allocated and amortized over the estimated life of the relationship. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written-off.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). In the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and swap fair value adjustments for qualifying hedges.
Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, to our shareholders and satisfy certain other organizational and operating requirements. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes if we distribute 100% of our net taxable income each year to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and to U.S. federal income taxes and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. Except as discussed below, we believe that we have met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. We intend to continue to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT qualification.
In order for distributions to be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes and count towards our distribution requirement, they must not be “preferential dividends.” A distribution will not be treated as preferential if it is pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class. IRS guidance, however, allows a REIT to offer shareholders participating in its dividend reinvestment program (“DRIP”) up to a 5% discount on shares purchased through the DRIP without treating such reinvested dividends as preferential. Our DRIP offers a 5% discount. In 2007, 2008 and the first two quarters of 2009, common shares issued pursuant to our DRIP were treated as issued as of the first day following the close of the quarter for which the distributions were declared, and not on the date that the cash distributions were paid to shareholders not participating in our DRIP. Because we declare dividends on a daily basis, including with respect to common shares issued pursuant to our DRIP, the IRS could take the position that distributions paid by us during these periods were preferential on the grounds that the discount provided to DRIP participants effectively exceeded the authorized 5% discount or, alternatively, that the overall distributions were not pro rata among all shareholders. In addition, in the years 2007 through 2009 we paid certain individual retirement account (“IRA”) custodial fees in respect of IRA accounts that invested in our common shares. The payment of certain of such amounts could have been treated as dividend distributions to the IRAs, and therefore as preferential dividends as such amounts were not paid in respect of our other outstanding common shares. Although we believe that the effect of the operation of our DRIP and the payment of such fees was immaterial, the REIT rules do not provide an exception forde minimis preferential dividends.
We submitted a request to the IRS for a closing agreement under which the IRS would grant us relief with respect to payments we made to shareholders under our DRIP and in respect of certain custodial fees we paid on behalf of some of our IRA shareholders, in each case, which payments could be treated as preferential dividends under the rules applicable to REITs. On July 8, 2011, the Company and the Investment Advisor entered into the Closing Agreement with the IRS pursuant to which (i) the IRS agreed not to challenge the Company’s dividends as preferential for its taxable years 2007, 2008 and 2009 as a result of the matters described above, and (ii) the Investment Advisor paid a compliance fee of approximately $135,000 to the IRS. In accordance with the terms of the

For the Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
Closing Agreement, none of the Company, CBRE OP or any subsidiary thereof have directly or indirectly reimbursed or will directly or indirectly reimburse the Investment Advisor for its payment of this compliance fee and none of the Investment Advisor or its direct or indirect owners has deducted or will deduct the compliance fee from their taxable income. The Company and the Investment Advisor expect to remain in compliance with the terms of the Closing Agreement, but any inadvertent non-compliance with such terms could result in adverse consequences for us. As a result of the Closing Agreement, the Company has met its distribution requirement for its taxable years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Receivables
All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is recorded as deferred rent. In connection with various leases, we have received irrevocable stand-by letters of credit totaling $16,714,000 and $6,515,000 as security for such leases at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Reimbursements from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable costs, are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis, when we are the primary obligor with respect to incurring expenses and with respect to having the credit risk.
Tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible current tenant receivables and deferred rent. Management’s determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, individual receivables, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The allowances are increased or decreased through the provision for bad debts. The allowance for uncollectible rent receivable was $821,000 and $83,000 as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we wrote off $310,000 of the uncollectible rent receivables for the tenant Randal C. Espey at the Deerfield Commons I property, tenants Cell Arch Technologies, Inc. and Keogh Consulting, Inc. at the Lakeside Office Center, tenant Romeo Rim, Inc. at the Cherokee Corporate Park, and the tenant Amax Engineering Corporation at the 660 North Dorothy. $209,000 of allowance for doubtful accounts was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2010. In addition, the unamortized tangible and intangible asset balances totaling $27,000 were also written off during the year ended December 31, 2010, of which ($10,000), $5,000, $8,000 and $24,000 are related to above/below market leases, lease commissions, tenant improvements and in place lease value, respectively.
Offering Costs
Offering costs totaling $72,001,000 and $54,837,000 were incurred during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity. Offering costs incurred through December 31, 2011 totaled $219,339,000. Of the total amount, $200,455,000 was incurred to CNL Securities Corp., as dealer manager; $3,969,000 was incurred to CBRE Group, Inc., an affiliate of the Investment Advisor; $886,000 was incurred to the Investment Advisor for reimbursable marketing costs and $14,029,000 was incurred to other service providers. Each party will be paid the amount incurred from proceeds of the public offering. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the accrued offering costs payable to related parties included in our consolidated balance sheets were $1,974,000 and 917,000, respectively. Offering costs payable to unrelated parties of $133,000 and $115,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Deferred Financing Costs and Discounts on Notes Payable
Direct costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are amortized over the respective term of the loan on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method.
Discounts on notes payable are amortized to interest expense based on the effective interest method.

Translation of Non-U.S. Currency Amounts
The financial statements and transactions of our United Kingdom real estate operation are recorded in its functional currency, namely the Great Britain Pound (“GBP”) and are then translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”).
Assets and liabilities of this operation are denominated in the functional currency and are then translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are reported in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss,” a component of Shareholders’ Equity.
The carrying value of our United Kingdom assets and liabilities fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rate between the USD and the GBP. The exchange rate of the USD to the GBP was $1.5535 and $1.5570 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The profit and loss weighted average exchange rate of the USD to the GBP was approximately $1.6089, $1.5461 and $1.5531 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The carrying value of our European assets and liabilities fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rate between the USD and the EUR. The exchange rate of the USD to the EUR was $1.2945 and $1.3338 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We acquired our first property in Europe on June 10, 2010. The profit and loss weighted average exchange rate of the USD to the EUR was approximately $1.4000 and $1.3256 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Class B Interest—Related Party
Effective July 1, 2004, REIT Holdings, an affiliate of the Investment Advisor, was granted a class B interest in CBRE OP. The class B interest is an equity instrument issued to non-employees in exchange for services. As modified by the second amended and restated agreement of limited partnership of CBRE OP entered into on January 30, 2009 (the “Second Amended Partnership Agreement”), the holder is entitled to receive distributions made by CBRE OP in an amount equal to 15% of all net sales proceeds on dispositions of properties or other assets (including by liquidation, merger or otherwise) after the other partners including us, have received in the aggregate, cumulative distributions from property income, sales proceeds or other services equal to (i) the total capital contributions made to CBRE OP and (ii) a 7% annual, uncompounded return on such capital contributions. The terms of the termination provision relating to the class B interest requires its forfeiture in the event the Advisor unilaterally terminates the agreement between the Company, CBRE OP and the Investment Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”). As a result future changes in the fair value of the class B interest will be deferred from recognition in the financial statements until a listing of the common shares on a national securities exchange or a change in control transaction takes place.
Earnings Per Share Attributable to CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust Shareholders
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted net income (loss) further assumes the dilutive effect of stock options, stock warrants and contingently issuable shares, if any. We have recorded a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 the effect of stock options, restricted stock grants, stock warrants and contingently issuable shares, are anti–dilutive, and accordingly, the $268,000 in restricted stock awards have been excluded from the earnings per share computation. In addition, no stock options, stock warrants or contingently issuable shares have ever been issued. As a result, there is no difference in basic and diluted shares.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments
We elected to apply the fair value option for one of our eligible mortgage notes payable that was newly issued debt during the year ended December 31, 2008. The measurement of the elected mortgage note payable at its fair value and its impact on the statement of operations is described in Note 16 “Fair Value Option-Note Payable” and Note 17 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments”.
We generally determine or calculate the fair value of financial instruments using appropriate present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating available market discount rate information for similar types of instruments and our estimates for non-performance and liquidity risk. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flow. The Investment Manager of CBRE Strategic

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
Partners Asia applies valuation techniques for our investment carried at fair value based upon the application of the income approach, the direct market comparison approach, the replacement cost approach or third party appraisals to the underlying assets held in the unconsolidated entity in determining the net asset value attributable to our ownership interest therein. The financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated financial statements are the five interest rate swaps, our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia (a real estate entity which qualifies as an investment company under the Investment Company Act), and one mortgage note payable that is economically hedged by one of the interest rate swaps.
The remaining financial assets and liabilities which are only disclosed at fair value are comprised of all other notes payable, the unsecured line of credit and other debt instruments. We determined the fair value of our secured notes payable and other debt instruments by performing discounted cash flow analyses using an appropriate market discount rate. We calculate the market discount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) rates for variable-rate debt, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our debt and then adding an appropriate credit spread derived from information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit standing, the maturity of the debt, whether the debt is secured or unsecured, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
We adopted the fair value measurement criteria described herein for our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on January 1, 2009. The adoption of the fair value measurement criteria to our non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. Assets and liabilities typically recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis include:
| | ¡ | | Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in an acquisition or business combination; |
| | ¡ | | Long-lived assets measured at fair value due to an impairment assessment and |
| | ¡ | | Asset retirement obligations initially measured under the Codification Topic “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” (“FASB ASC 410”). |
Subsequent Events
In preparing our accompanying financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events through the financial statement issuance date. We believe that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading.
Adoption of Accounting Standards
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASU 2010-06 clarifies disclosure requirements relating to the level of disaggregation of disclosures relating to classes of assets and liabilities and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value estimates for Level 2 or Level 3 assets and liabilities. These requirements of ASU 2010-06 were effective for interim and annual disclosures for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of these requirements of the ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Standards
ASU 2010-06 also requires additional disclosures regarding the transfers among the fair value classification levels as well as the reasons for those changes and a separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the presentation of the roll-forward of Level 3 assets and liabilities. Those disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this portion of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On December 21, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29,Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations, to address differences in the ways entities have interpreted the requirements of ASC 805,Business Combinations, or ASC 805, for disclosures about pro forma revenue and earnings in a business combination. The ASU states that “if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only.” In addition, the ASU “expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under ASC 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.” The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-29 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued, ASU 2011-04 to theFair Value Measurement topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The ASU eliminates unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards, expands the disclosure requirements of theFair Value Measurementstopic of the ASC for fair value measurements and makes other amendments, including:
| | ¡ | | limiting the highest-and-best-use and valuation-premise concepts only to measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets; |
| | ¡ | | permitting an exception to fair value measurement principles for financial assets and financial liabilities (and derivatives) with offsetting positions in market risk or counterparty credit risk when several criteria are met. When the criteria are met, an entity can measure the fair value of the net risk position; |
| | ¡ | | clarifying that premiums or discounts that reflect size as a characteristic of the reporting entity’s holding rather than as a characteristic of the asset or liability (for example, a control premium when measuring the fair value of a controlling interest) are not permitted in a fair value measurement; and |
| | ¡ | | prescribing a model for measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in shareholders’ equity; this model is consistent with the guidance on measuring the fair value of liabilities. |
ASU 2011-04 expands theFair Value Measurements topic’s disclosure requirements, particularly for fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: (1) a quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the measurement, (2) a description of the valuation processes in place (e.g., how the entity decides its valuation policies and procedures, as well as changes in its analyses of fair value measurements, from period to period), (3) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and interrelationships between those inputs, (4) discussion of the use of a nonfinancial asset that differs from the asset’s highest and best use, and (5) the level of the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments for items that are not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required.
ASU 2011-04 is applicable to our company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05,Presentation of Comprehensive Income (included in ASC 220,Comprehensive Income), or ASU 2011-05, which amends existing guidance to allow only two options for presenting the components of net income and other comprehensive income: (1) in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, or (2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements consisting of an income statement followed by a statement of other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 requires retrospective application, and it is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We have early adopted ASU 2011-05 and included the statements of comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 as part of these consolidated financial statements.
Other Accounting Standards Updates not effective until after December 31, 2011 are not expected to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market loans, will be recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate. Above-market ground leases will be recorded based on the respective fair value of the ground leases. Effective January 1, 2009, we began expensing deal costs related to our consolidated acquisitions.

The contribution resulted in the deconsolidation of the Miramar I and Miramar II properties from our balance sheet on March 31, 2010 based on the contribution from consolidated subsidiaries to an unconsolidated investee entity, the Duke joint venture. As a result of the contribution, our investment in the Duke joint venture increased by $42,378,000 (inclusive of proration credits of $281,000 transferred to the Duke joint venture). We recorded a gain on the contribution of $154,000. Included in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010, were revenues of $1,348,000 and operating expenses of $817,000. There were no comparable amounts of operations during the year ended December 31, 2009 as the two contributed properties were not acquired until December 31, 2009.

Duke Joint Venture
On May 5, 2008, we entered into a contribution agreement with Duke Realty Limited Partnership (“Duke”), a subsidiary of Duke Realty Corporation (NYSE: DRE), to form the Duke joint venture to acquire $248,900,500 in industrial real property assets (the “Industrial
F-27

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
Portfolio”). The Industrial Portfolio consists of six bulk industrial built-to-suit, fully leased properties. On September 12, 2008, we entered into a first amendment to the contribution agreement to acquire a fully leased office building for $37,111,000 and to increase and revise the total purchase commitment to $282,400,000. We own an 80% interest and Duke owns a 20% interest in the Duke joint venture.
We entered into an operating agreement for the Duke joint venture with Duke on June 12, 2008. Duke acts as the managing member of the Duke joint venture and is entitled to receive fees in connection with the services it provides to the Duke joint venture, including asset management, construction, development, leasing and property management services. Duke is also entitled to a promoted interest in the Duke joint venture. We have joint approval rights over all major policy decisions.
On December 17, 2010 in connection with the entry into of the Purchase Agreement for the Office Portfolio, we entered into an amended and restated operating agreement for the Duke joint venture. The amended and restated operating agreement generally contains the same terms and conditions as the operating agreement dated June 12, 2008 described above, except for the following material changes: (i) Duke has granted us a call option to acquire Duke’s entire interest in the Duke joint venture which such interest shall be valued based on the opinions of qualified appraisers and which we can elect to exercise anytime after June 30, 2012 upon the occurrence and adoption by resolution of certain triggering events and (ii) the Duke joint venture has certain rights to participate in the development of certain adjacent and nearby parcels of land currently owned by Duke.
We carry our investment in the Duke joint venture on the equity method of accounting because it is an entity under common control with Duke. Those investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of such entities are accounted for using the equity method. We eliminate transactions with such equity method subsidiaries to the extent of our ownership in such entities.
On March 31, 2010, the Duke joint venture acquired 3900 North Paramount Parkway, 3900 South Paramount Parkway and 1400 Perimeter Park Drive in Morrisville, NC, a suburb of Raleigh, for approximately $35,250,000, exclusive of customary closing costs and acquisition fees which are both expensed as incurred. We made contributions of approximately $28,125,000 ($19,649,000 was made in cash and $8,476,000 in-kind as discussed below) to the Duke joint venture in connection with the acquisition.
On March 31, 2010, we contributed our Miramar I and Miramar II properties, located at 2300 and 2200 SW 145th Avenue in Miramar, FL, a suburb of Miami, to the Duke joint venture for approximately our cost of $42,650,000. Our cost of $42,650,000, of which $8,476,000 was considered an in-kind contribution by us to the Duke joint venture representing our 20% divestiture of the Miramar I and Miramar II properties, was part of a structured transaction as an offset to the $28,125,000 owed by us for our 80% share of the Duke joint venture’s purchase of 3900 North Paramount Parkway, 3900 South Paramount Parkway and 1400 Perimeter Park Drive.
On August 24, 2010, the Duke joint venture closed on the acquisition of additional land and entered into a construction agreement, and lease amendments (collectively, the “Expansion Agreements”) to expand the AllPoints at Anson Bldg. 1 property, a warehouse/distribution center located in Whitestown, IN, a suburb of Indianapolis. The existing property is 100% leased to a subsidiary of Amazon.com through July 2018. Pursuant to the Expansion Agreements, AllPoints at Anson Bldg. 1 (i) was expanded from the current 630,573 square feet to approximately 1,036,573 square feet and (ii) is 100% leased to a subsidiary of Amazon.com, which lease was extended through April 2021. The total cost of the expansion is anticipated to be approximately $19,395,000 to the Duke joint venture. We expect to make cash contributions of approximately $15,516,000 to the Duke joint venture in connection with the Expansion Agreements. We paid a construction supervision fee of $230,000 to our Investment Advisor in connection with the Expansion Agreements.
On November 24, 2010, the Duke joint venture, through certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a $92,000,000 mortgage loan with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Our pro rata share of this mortgage is $73,600,000 based on our 80% ownership of the Duke joint venture. This mortgage carries a fixed interest rate of 4.25%, a term of five years, is secured on a cross-collateralized basis by nine of the Duke joint venture’s properties (22535 Colonial Pkwy, Celebration Office Center, Northpoint III, Goodyear Crossing Ind. Park II, 3900 North Paramount Parkway, 3900 South Paramount Parkway, 1400 Perimeter Park Drive, Miramar I and Miramar II) and may be prepaid subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
On December 17, 2010, the Duke joint venture entered into a purchase and sale agreement the (“Purchase Agreement”) with Duke, Duke Secured Financing 2009-1PAC, LLC and Duke Realty Ohio, affiliates of Duke, for the acquisition of up to $516,650,000 in office real property assets (the “Office Portfolio”). The Office Portfolio consists of 20 office properties that were contributed to the Duke Joint Venture in three separate tranches.

On March 24, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of 13 properties (the second and third tranches of the Office Portfolio) for $342,800,000 of which our share was $274,240,000 exclusive of closing costs and acquisition fees which were both expensed as incurred, the Duke joint venture entered into a $275,000,000 unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. While the Term Loan was non-recourse to us, the pro rata share of the Term Loan obligation attributable to us was initially $220,000,000 in accordance with our ownership interest in the Duke joint venture. The Term Loan had a six-month term and two six-month extension options. The Term Loan had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.50% and was fully pre-payable at any time, subject to any customary costs. An origination fee of $1,650,000 was paid to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association at the closing of the term loan. The Term Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants. During the term of the loan, the Duke joint venture agreed to comply with certain financial covenants related to its leverage ratio, net asset value, unencumbered leverage ratio and the inability to enter into certain types of investments.
On April 28, 2011, the Duke joint venture entered into lease amendments to expand the Buckeye Logistics Center property, a warehouse/distribution center located in Phoenix, AZ.

Afton Ridge Joint Venture
On September 18, 2008, we acquired a 90% ownership interest in Afton Ridge, the owner of Afton Ridge Shopping Center, from unrelated third parties. CK Afton Ridge Shopping Center, LLC, a subsidiary of Childress Klein Properties, Inc. (“CK Afton Ridge”), retained a 10% ownership interest in Afton Ridge and continues to manage Afton Ridge Shopping Center. CK Afton Ridge acts as the managing member of Afton Ridge and is entitled to receive fees, including management, construction management and property management fees. We have joint approval rights over all major policy decisions.
Afton Ridge Shopping Center is located at the intersection of I-85 and Kannapolis Parkway, in Kannapolis, North Carolina. We acquired our ownership interest in Afton Ridge for approximately $45,000,000, exclusive of customary closing costs, which was funded using net proceeds from our initial public offering. Upon closing, we paid our Investment Advisor an acquisition fee of approximately $450,000. This acquisition fee is not included in the $45,000,000 total acquisition cost of Afton Ridge, but is included as additional cost basis at our wholly-owned investment subsidiary.
The purchase agreement with the seller contained a two year master lease agreement whereby rental revenues were guaranteed by the seller on the 9% unoccupied space at the date of the acquisition up to a maximum of $1,102,000. In addition, leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances were to be reimbursed under the purchase agreement up to $934,000 over the same two year period for leasing activities incurred by Afton Ridge to lease this unoccupied space. During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, we reached agreement with CK Afton Ridge as to the final payout under the master lease agreement. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, $842,000 and $601,000 in rental revenue guarantee payments and $923,000 and $517,000 in leasing commission and tenant reimbursement payments, respectively, have been received by Afton Ridge and treated as purchase price adjustments in the period when the contingency was resolved on the Afton Ridge standalone financial statements. Our pro rata share of such purchase price adjustments have been treated as a reduction of our investment in Afton Ridge.
Afton Ridge Shopping Center is a 470,288 square foot regional shopping center, completed in 2006, in which Afton Ridge owns 296,388 rentable square feet that is currently 99% leased. One of the shopping center’s anchors, a 173,900 square foot SuperTarget, is not owned by us. Additional anchor tenants in Afton Ridge Shopping Center are Best Buy, Marshalls, PetSmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Stein Mart and Ashley Furniture. Afton Ridge Shopping Center is the retail component of a 260 acre master planned mixed-use development.
On October 15, 2008, Afton Ridge obtained a $25,500,000 loan from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, secured by the Afton Ridge Shopping Center originally acquired on September 18, 2008. The loan is for a term of five years, plus a 12 month extension option, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.70%. Interest payments only are due monthly for the term of the loan with principal due at maturity.
We carry our investment in Afton Ridge on the equity method of accounting because it is an entity under common control with CK Afton Ridge. Those investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of such entities are accounted for using the equity method. We eliminate transactions with such equity investees to the extent of our ownership in such entities.

Effective July 1, 2011, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with TD Bank to effectively fix the interest rate on the entire outstanding loan amount to 4.47% for its 7 year term maturing on July 1, 2018. Principal and interest payments are due monthly and principal payments totaling $105,000 were made during the year ended December 31, 2011. In addition, we incurred financing costs of approximately $247,000 in conjunction with obtaining the loan.
On December 30, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Sabal Pavilion, we assumed a $15,428,000 ($14,700,000 face value plus a premium of $728,000) fixed rate mortgage loan from U.S. Bank National Association that bears interest at a rate of 6.38%. The loan is schedule to be paid off on or before the anticipated maturity date of August 1, 2013 and prior to the automatic extension which has the effect of increasing the interest rate to 11.38%. Interest payments are due monthly with principal due at maturity. In addition, we incurred financing costs totaling $313,000 in conjunction with the assumption of the loan.
Loan Payable
On May 26, 2010, we entered into a $70,000,000 revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. The initial maturity date of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility is May 26, 2014, however we may extend the maturity date to May 26, 2015, subject to certain conditions. $15,000,000 of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility was initially drawn upon closing on May 26, 2010, with $55,000,000 initially remaining available for disbursement during the term of the facility. We have the right to prepay any outstanding amount of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty at any time during the term of this Wells Fargo Credit Facility, however, we initially could not reduce the outstanding principal balance below a minimum outstanding amount of $15,000,000, without reducing the total $70,000,000 Wells Fargo Credit Facility capacity. Initially, the Wells Fargo Credit Facility had a floating interest rate of 300 basis points over LIBOR, however this interest rate would be at least 4.00% for any of the outstanding balance that was not subject to an interest rate swap with an initial term of at least two years. Upon closing on May 26, 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to effectively fix the interest rate on the initial $15,000,000 outstanding loan amount at 5.10% for the four-year term of the facility.
The interest rate swap was designated as a qualifying cash flow hedge at the start date of the hedge relationship as described in Note 15 “Derivative Instruments.” The Wells Fargo Credit Facility was initially secured by our 13201 Wilfred, 3011, 3055 & 3077 Comcast Place, 140 Depot Street, Crest Ridge Corporate Center I and West Point Trade Center properties. In addition, CBRE OP provides a limited guarantee for the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility is subject to certain customary financial covenants, including certain negative financial covenants, which we believe we were in compliance with as December 31, 2011. A commitment fee of $1,050,000 was paid to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. at the initial closing.
On August 31, 2010, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to expand the Wells Fargo Credit Facility from its initial capacity of $70,000,000 to an amended capacity of $125,000,000 (the “Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility”). In connection with the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility, the minimum outstanding amount was increased to $25,000,000 and as such an additional $10,000,000 was drawn (in addition to the $15,000,000 initially drawn on May 26, 2010) with

the remaining $100,000,000 available for disbursement during the term of the facility. The Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility is secured by an additional three of our properties, for a total of eight properties in all: 13201 Wilfred Lane, 3011, 3055 & 3077 Comcast Place, 140 Depot Street, Crest Ridge Corporate Center, West Point Trade Center, 5160 Hacienda Drive, 10450 Pacific Center Court and 225 Summit Avenue. The interest rate was reduced by 25 basis points to 275 basis points over LIBOR (which rate will apply to all withdrawals from the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility other than the initial $15,000,000 that was drawn on May 26, 2010) and the initial interest rate floor of 4.00% was eliminated. The initial maturity date remains May 26, 2014, however we may extend the maturity date to May 26, 2015, subject to certain conditions. The Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility is subject to certain representations and warranties and customary financial covenants (including certain negative financial covenants) with which we believe we were in compliance as of December 31, 2011. A commitment fee of $632,500 was paid to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. at closing of the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, $50,000,000 was drawn and $85,000,000 was repaid in connection with the Amended Wells Fargo Credit Facility leaving a $25,000,000 balance at December 31, 2011, with the remaining $100,000,000 available for disbursement during the term of the facility. The $25,000,000 is included in Loan Payable on our consolidated balance sheet.

11. Investment Management and Other Fees to Related Parties
Pursuant to the agreement between our company, CBRE OP and the Investment Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”), the Investment Advisor and its affiliates perform services relating to our prior public offerings and the management of our assets. Items of compensation and equity participation are as follows:
Offering Costs Relating to Public Offerings
Offering costs totaling $72,001,000, $54,873,000 and $40,348,000 were incurred during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity. Of the total amounts, $67,282,000, $51,503,000 and $36,290,000 was incurred to CNL Securities Corp., as the former dealer manager of our public offerings and $327,000, $221,000 and $160,000 was incurred to the Investment Advisor for reimbursable marketing for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Investment Management Fee to Related Party
Prior to October 24, 2006, the Investment Advisor received an annual fee equal to 0.75% of the book value of the total assets, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, based on the assets of CBRE OP. The investment management fee was calculated monthly based on the average of total assets, as defined, during such period. On October 24, 2006, the Board of Trustees, including our independent trustees, approved and the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of CBRE OP (the “Amended Partnership Agreement”) and the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “Amended Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Amended Partnership Agreement, the “Amended Agreements”). The Amended Advisory Agreement provided an investment management fee of (i) a monthly fee equal to one twelfth of 0.6% of the aggregate cost (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all real estate investments within our portfolio and (ii) a monthly fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate monthly net operating income derived from all real estate investments within our portfolio.

Equity Incentive Plan
We have adopted a 2004 equity incentive plan. The purpose of the 2004 equity incentive plan is to provide us with the flexibility to use share options and other awards to provide a means of performance-based compensation. Our key employees, directors, trustees, officers, advisors, consultants or other personnel and our subsidiaries or other persons expected to provide significant services or our subsidiaries, including employees of the Investment Advisor, would be eligible to be granted share options, restricted shares, phantom shares, distribution equivalent rights and other share-based awards under the 2004 equity incentive plan.
On April 20, 2010, our Board’s independent trustees, Messrs. Black, Reid and Orphanides, were awarded equity grants under our 2004 equity incentive plan on the following terms: (i) each award was for $80,000 in restricted common shares of the Trust (or 8,000 shares at $10.00 per share) for a total of $240,000; (ii) each award vested in its entirety, upon issuance; and (iii) the independent trustee would not be able to redeem any of the restricted common shares prior to the third anniversary of date of issuance, but retains the rights to dividends declared and paid during such restriction period. We recognized a stock based compensation expense of $240,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010 as a result of granting these awards to our independent trustees.

Committee will (i) determine and designate those key employees to whom bonuses are to be granted; (ii) determine, consistently with the 2004 performance bonus plan, the amount of the bonus to be granted to any key employee for any performance period; and (iii) determine, consistently with the 2004 performance bonus plan, the terms and conditions of each bonus. Bonuses may be so awarded by the Compensation Committee prior to the commencement of any performance period, during or after any performance period. No bonus shall exceed 200% of the key employee’s aggregate salary for the year. The Compensation Committee may provide for partial bonus payments at target and other levels. Corporate performance hurdles for bonuses may be adjusted by the Compensation Committee in its discretion to reflect (i) dilution from corporate acquisitions and share offerings, and (ii) changes in applicable accounting rules and standards. The Compensation Committee may determine that bonuses shall be paid in cash or shares or other equity-based grants, or a combination thereof. The Compensation Committee may also provide that any such share grants be made under our 2004 equity incentive plan or any other equity-based plan or program we may establish. The Compensation Committee may provide for programs under which the payment of bonuses may be deferred at the election of the employee.

16. Fair Value Option—Note Payable
During the fourth quarter of 2008 we elected to apply the fair value option on a note payable which bears interest at a variable rate and is currently subject to an economic hedge by an interest rate swap with similar terms and the same notional amount. We have elected to apply the fair value option on the Albion Mills Retail Park variable rate note payable to match the fair value treatment of interest rate swap derivative on the same note payable thereby achieving a reduction in the artificial volatility in net income or loss that occurs when related financial assets and liabilities are measured and reported on a different basis in the consolidated financial statements.
We applied the fair value option for the Albion Mills Retail Park note payable at each reporting period. Included in Loss on Notes Payable at Fair Value in the Statements of Operations were ($25,000), ($118,000) and ($807,000) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, there were $19,000 translation gain and $87,000 translation loss recorded to Other Comprehensive Loss at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
17. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investments
We apply the three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical financial instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as instruments that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. We have classified the Albion Mills Retail Park notes payable as Level 3 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 due to the lack of current market activity and our reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate the fair value of the mortgage note payable.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we held certain items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included cash equivalents, interest rate swap derivative contracts and our equity method investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid, income-producing investments, all of which have maturities of 90 days or less, including money market funds and U.S. Government obligations. Derivative instruments are related to our economic hedging activities with respect to interest rates.
The fair values of the interest rate swap derivative agreements are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash payments and receipts on the pay and receive legs of the interest rate swap agreements that swap the estimated variable rate mortgage note payment stream for a fixed rate receive payment stream over the period of the loan. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the interest rate swap agreements are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. 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 (where appropriate). 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 December 31, 2011 and 2010, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation 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. We have consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented and believe we have obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts we hold.
Our investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is based on the Level 3 valuation inputs applied by the Investment Manager of this investment company utilizing the following approaches for valuing the underlying real estate related investments within the investment company:
| | ¡ | | The income approach is generally based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Such an analysis for a real property includes projecting net cash flows from the property from a buyer’s perspective and computing the present value of the cash flows using a market discount rate. The cash flows include a projection of the net sales proceeds at the end of our estimate of a market participant holding period, computed using market reversionary capitalization rates and projected cash flows from the property for the year following the holding period. |

For the Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
| | ¡ | | The direct market comparison approach to property valuation is primarily based on the principle of substitution, which holds that the value of a property tends to be set by the price that would be paid to acquire a substitute property of similar utility and desirability within a reasonable amount of time. Transactions of similar properties are analyzed and compared to the subject property. Factors affecting value include differences in the location, size, quality of construction and other physical features, property rights appraised, timing of sale, and economic and market conditions. |
| | ¡ | | The replacement cost approach to property valuation is a theoretical breakdown of the property into land and building components. The theory is that the value of a property can be estimated by summing the land value and the depreciated value of any improvements. While the replacement cost of the improvements can be determined by adding the labor, material, and other costs, land values must be derived from an analysis of comparable data. The cost approach is considered reliable when used on newer structures, but the method tends to become less reliable for older properties. |
| | ¡ | | For investments owned more than one year, except for investments under construction or incurring significant renovation, it is CBRE Strategic Partners Asia’s policy to obtain a third-party appraisal. For investments in real estate under construction or incurring significant renovation, the valuation analysis is prepared by the Investment Manager. |

Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings related to the interest rate swaps, as well as for the elected fair value note payable for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are reported as components of Other Income and Expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.
Impaired Property—For assets measured on a non-recurring basis, such as real estate assets that are required to be recorded at fair value as a result of an impairment, our estimates of fair value are based on management’s best estimate derived from evaluating market sales data for comparable properties developed by a third party appraiser and arriving at management’s estimate of fair value based on such comparable data primarily based on properties with similar characteristics. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the fair value of our impaired property was estimated to be $15,300,000, which we used to record our impairment expense and was based on Level 3 inputs in developing management’s estimate of fair value. There were no impaired property adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
For purposes of this fair value disclosure, we based our fair value estimate for notes payable and loan payable on our internal valuation that includes a representative sample of our lenders’ market interest rate and Loan Payable quotes as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 for debt with similar risk characteristics and maturities. We based the Note Payable carried at fair value on our estimates of fair value which includes consideration of a third party appraiser’s valuation which used similar techniques as our internal valuation model as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.
18. Commitments and Contingencies
We have agreed to a capital commitment of up to $20,000,000 in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, which was extended to January 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2011, we funded $15,497,000 of our capital commitment. CBRE Global Investors formed CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, to purchase, reposition, develop, hold for investment and sell institutional quality real estate and related assets in targeted markets in China, Japan, India, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and other Asia Pacific markets. If we and all other currently committed capital investors had funded our entire commitments in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia as of December 31, 2011, we would have owned an ownership interest of approximately 5.07% in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. A majority of our trustees (including a majority of our independent trustees) not otherwise interested in this transaction approved the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable. CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is managed by CBRE Group Investors SP Asia II, LLC or the Fund Manager, a subsidiary of CBRE Global Investors. See Note 21 “Subsequent Events,” for an update of this investment.
Litigation—From time to time, we and our properties may be subject to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Currently, neither our Company nor any of our properties are subject to, or threatened with, any legal proceedings for which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a significant adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Environmental Matters—We are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to any potential environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

20. Income Taxes
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable 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 generally distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). It is our current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT qualification. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level U.S. federal income tax on net income we distribute currently to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, if any.
We have made taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) elections for all of our held for sale property subsidiaries. The elections, effective for the tax year beginning January 1, 2010 and future years, were made pursuant to section 856(i) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our TRS’s are subject to corporate level income taxes which are recorded in our consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
Included as a component of our tax provision, we have incurred income and other taxes (franchise, local and state government and international) related to our continuing operations in the amount of $456,000, $296,000 and $169,000 for California, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Texas, North Carolina, and United Kingdom impacting our operations during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The United Kingdom taxes real property operating results at a statutory rate of 22%. The United Kingdom taxable loss for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 resulted in a deferred tax asset of approximately $1,311,000 and $615,000 net operating loss carryforwards for both years. We have provided for a full valuation allowance of ($1,311,000) and ($615,000) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 on deferred tax assets because it is not likely that future operating profits in the United Kingdom would be sufficient to absorb the net operating losses.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Members
Duke/Hulfish, LLC:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Duke/Hulfish, LLC and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule III. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Duke/Hulfish, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule III, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, DH Franklin, LLC, DH Anson, LLC, DH Jacksonville, LLC, DH Plainfield, LLC, DH Wilmer, LLC, DH Buckeye, LLC, DH West Jefferson, LLC, DH Katy, LLC, DH Orlando, LLC, DH Tampa LLC, DH Northpoint III, LLC, DH Goodyear, LLC and Duke Princeton, LLC.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
(b) Real Estate Investments
Rental real property, including land, land improvements, buildings and building improvements, and tenant improvements, is included in investment property and are generally stated at cost. Buildings and land improvements are depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated life not to exceed 40 and 15 years, respectively, and tenant improvement costs are depreciated on the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the related lease.
Cost Capitalization: Direct and certain indirect costs clearly associated with and incremental to the development, construction, leasing, or expansion of real estate investments are capitalized as a cost of the property.
The Company capitalizes interest and direct and indirect project costs associated with the initial construction of a property up to the time the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. The Company believes the completion of the building shell is the proper basis for determining substantial completion. The interest rate used to capitalize interest is based upon the Company’s average borrowing rate on existing debt.
The Company capitalizes direct and indirect costs, including interest costs, on vacant space during extended lease-up periods after construction of the building shell has been completed if costs are being incurred to ready the vacant space for its intended use. Once necessary work has been completed on a vacant space, project costs are no longer capitalized. The Company ceases capitalization of all project costs on extended lease-up periods after the shorter of a one-year period after the completion of the building shell or when the property attains 90% occupancy. In addition, all leasing commissions paid to third parties for new leases or lease renewals are capitalized and amortized over the life of the related lease.
Impairment of Real Estate: Real estate investments are individually evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such an evaluation is considered necessary, the Company compares the carrying amount of that real estate investment with the expected undiscounted cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, the use and eventual disposition of that real estate investment. The Company’s estimate of the expected future cash flows used in testing for impairment is based on, among other things, estimates regarding future market conditions, rental rates, occupancy levels, costs of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other tenant concessions, assumptions regarding the residual value of the real estate investments at the end of the anticipated holding period, and the length of the anticipated holding period and is, therefore, subjective by nature. These assumptions could differ materially from actual results. If the Company’s strategy changes or if market conditions otherwise dictate a reduction in the holding period and an earlier sale date, an impairment loss could be recognized and such loss could be material. To the extent the carrying amount of a real estate investment exceeds the associated estimate of undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its fair value.
The determination of the fair value of real estate investments is also highly subjective, especially in markets where there is a lack of recent comparable transactions. The Company primarily utilizes the income approach to estimate the fair value, when necessary, of the
F-72
DUKE/HULFISH, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
December 31, 2011 and 2010
income producing properties. The Company utilizes marketplace participant assumptions to estimate the fair value of an income producing property to the extent an impairment charge is required to be measured. The estimation of future cash flows, as well as the selection of the discount rate and exit capitalization rate used in applying the income approach is also highly subjective.
Acquisition of Real Estate Property and Related Assets: On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the new accounting standard (FASB ASC 805) on purchase accounting, which requires acquisition related costs to be expensed immediately as period costs. Acquisition costs amounted to $935,575 and $136,527 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are included in rental expenses in the accompanying consolidated 2011 and 2010 statement of operations. Acquisition costs for the year ended December 31, 2009 were not material to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to net tangible and identified intangible assets based on their respective fair values. The allocation to tangible assets (buildings, tenant improvements, and land) is based upon management’s determination of the value of the property as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow models similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. The purchase price of real estate assets is also allocated among three categories of intangible assets consisting of the above- or below-market component of in-place leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of customer relationships.
| | ¡ | | The value allocable to the above- or below-market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the lease) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term and (ii) management’s estimate of the amounts that would be paid using current fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above-market leases and below-market leases are included in intangible lease assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet and are amortized to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. |
| | ¡ | | The total amount of intangible assets is allocated to in-place lease values, based upon management’s assessment of their respective values. These intangible assets are included in intangible lease assets in the consolidated balance sheet and are amortized to depreciation and amortization over the remaining term of the existing lease. |
(c) Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.
(d) Valuation of Receivables
The Company reserves the entire receivable balance, including straight-line rent, of any tenant with an amount outstanding over 90 days. Additional reserves are recorded as necessary for more current amounts, where collectibility is deemed doubtful. Straight-line rent receivables for any tenant with long-term risk, regardless of the status of rent receivables, are reviewed and reserved as necessary.
(e) Deferred Costs
Costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are amortized to interest expense, over the term of the related loan. All direct and indirect costs, including estimated internal costs, associated with the leasing of real estate investments owned by the Company are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related lease. The Company includes lease incentive costs, which are payments made on behalf of a tenant to sign a lease, in intangible lease assets and amortizes them on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms as a reduction of rental income. The Company includes as lease incentives amounts funded to construct tenant improvements owned by the tenant. Unamortized costs are charged to expense upon the early termination of the lease.
(f) Interest Rate Swap Agreement
Derivative financial instruments contain an element of risk such that counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of such agreements. The Company minimizes its risk exposure by limiting the counterparties to commercial and investment banks, which meet established credit and capital guidelines.

The Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements (the Swaps) to mitigate risk occurring from potential changes in interest rates relating to three mortgage notes originated in 2011 (note 5). The objective for holding such a derivative is to decrease the Company’s exposure to cash flow volatility, while maintaining liquidity and flexibility.
The Swaps became effective as of August 16, 2011 (the Effective Date) and expire on December 6, 2016, May 31, 2018 and January 31, 2019, respectively. The Swaps provide interest rate protection against the increase of one-month LIBOR above 2.00% starting on the Effective Date. The three Swaps provide for notional amounts equal to the mortgage notes balances of $11,800,000, $24,700,000,and $6,900,000 and effectively fixed the variable rate mortgage notes (note 5) to provide for a fixed interest rate of 3.41%, 3.78%, and 3.95%, respectively, starting on the Effective Date.
As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of the Swaps was a liability of $952,817 and is included in other liabilities in the accompanying 2011 consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s Swaps qualified for hedge accounting under FASB ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2011, the change in the fair value of the Swaps of $952,817 was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The effectiveness of the Swaps is evaluated throughout their life using the hypothetical derivative method, under which the change in the Swaps’ fair value are compared to the change in the fair value of a hypothetical swap. The ineffective portion of the hedge was insignificant; however, if it was significant, the ineffectiveness would be recorded in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The Company has valued derivative financial instruments using Level 2 inputs (see (i) below). Gains or losses resulting from changes in the value of derivatives are based on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.
(g) Revenues
The timing of revenue recognition under an operating lease is determined based upon ownership of the tenant improvements. If the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, revenue recognition commences after the improvements are completed and the tenant takes possession or control of the space. In contrast, if the Company determines that the tenant allowances they are funding are lease incentives, then the Company commences revenue recognition when possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant. Rental income from leases with scheduled rental increases during their terms is recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company includes reimbursements of specified operating expenses in rental income.
The Company records lease termination fees when a tenant has executed a definitive termination agreement with the Company and the payment of the termination fee is not subject to any material conditions that must be met or waived before the fee is due to the Company. The Company recognized $1,164,464 in termination fees during 2011, which are included in rental income in the accompanying 2011 consolidated statement of operations. There were no termination fees recognized in 2009 or 2010.
(h) Income Taxes
The Company is subject to state and local income taxation in Texas, Tennessee, and certain Ohio municipalities. The net deferred tax asset or liability related to temporary differences impacting the Company’s expected state and local income taxation is not material. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, the Company recorded state and local income tax expenses approximately of $207,000, $101,000, and $81,000, respectively.
Except with respect to the state and local taxation in Texas, Tennessee, and Ohio municipalities, for federal and state income tax purposes, the Company is treated as a partnership and the allocated share of income or loss for the year is included in the income tax returns of the members accordingly, no other accounting for income taxes is required in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10,Income Taxes, which prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FASB ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, and disclosures for uncertain tax positions. The tax years from April 29, 2008 (inception) through 2011 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

(i) Fair Value Measurements
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
| | ¡ | | Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to which the Company has access. |
| | ¡ | | Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. |
| | ¡ | | Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. |
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The fair value approximates the carrying value for all financial instruments except for indebtedness (note 5).
(j) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(3) Property Contributions and Acquisitions
During 2011, the Company acquired eight real estate properties from DRLP and five real estate properties from an affiliate of DRLP. The acquisitions were financed through cash contributions and unsecured credit facility borrowings. During 2010, CBOP contributed two real estate properties to the Company. During 2010, the Company acquired eight real estate properties from DRLP. During 2010 and 2009, the Company acquired two real estate properties each year from an affiliate of DRLP. During 2009, DRLP contributed three real estate properties to the Company. The 2010 and 2009 contributions and acquisitions were financed through cash contributions. The assets contributed and acquired were recorded at their agreed-upon value at the date of contribution or acquisition, as summarized below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | 2011 | | | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Land and land improvements | | $ | 42,177,037 | | | | 32,611,510 | | | | 15,963,234 | |
Buildings | | | 206,551,732 | | | | 140,826,903 | | | | 56,439,864 | |
Tenant improvements | | | 24,907,271 | | | | 23,772,873 | | | | 19,317,064 | |
Intangible lease assets | | | 74,532,904 | | | | 55,401,043 | | | | 12,648,312 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total assets acquired | | | 348,168,944 | | | | 252,612,329 | | | | 104,368,474 | |
| | | |
Intangible lease liabilities | | | (149,399 | ) | | | (198,494 | ) | | | — | |
Net working capital assumed | | | (6,722,367 | ) | | | (1,979,663 | ) | | | (1,259,697 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchase price, net of assumed working capital | | $ | 341,297,178 | | | | 250,434,172 | | | | 103,108,777 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
The allocation to tangible assets (buildings, tenant improvements, and land and land improvements) is based upon management’s determination of the value of the property as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow models similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. The Company’s valuation estimates primarily relied upon Level 3 inputs, as previously defined.

December 31, 2011 and 2010
The total amount of intangible assets is allocated to in-place lease values based upon management’s assessment of their respective values. The Company’s valuation estimates primarily relied upon Level 3 inputs, as previously defined. In-place lease intangible assets are amortized over the remaining life of the related leases, which is approximately seven years. Amortization expense for in-place lease intangible assets was $21,115,031, $4,307,186 and $2,399,882 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for the next five years and thereafter is as follows:
| | | | |
Year: | | | | |
2012 | | $ | 24,930,135 | |
2013 | | | 24,552,247 | |
2014 | | | 19,622,144 | |
2015 | | | 17,113,605 | |
2016 | | | 12,535,093 | |
Thereafter | | | 22,868,673 | |
| | | | |
| | $ | 121,621,897 | |
| | | | |
The value allocable to the above- or below-market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the lease) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term and (ii) management’s estimate of the amounts that would be paid using current fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease. The Company’s valuation estimates primarily relied upon Level 3 inputs, as previously defined. Above- and below-market lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining life of the related leases, which is approximately eight years. Net amortization expense of $1,734,256, $282,725, and $18,998 is included as a reduction to rental income in the accompanying 2011, 2010, and 2009 consolidated statements of operations, respectively. Estimated net amortization expense for the next five years and thereafter is as follows:
| | | | |
Year: | | | | |
2012 | | $ | 1,798,959 | |
2013 | | | 1,441,673 | |
2014 | | | 1,258,721 | |
2015 | | | 1,239,448 | |
2016 | | | 1,148,190 | |
Thereafter | | | 3,465,358 | |
| | | | |
| | $ | 10,352,349 | |
| | | | |
The results of operations for the acquired properties have been included in operating income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations since the date of contribution or acquisition.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value estimates used in allocating the aggregate purchase price of each acquisition and contribution among the individual components of real estate assets and liabilities were determined primarily through calculating the “as-if vacant” value of each building, using the income approach, and relied significantly upon internally determined assumptions. The Company determined these estimates to have been primarily based upon Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions. The most significant assumptions utilized in these estimates, for 2011 acquisitions, are summarized as follows:
| | | | |
Discount rate | | | 9.70% – 10.20 | % |
Capitalization rate | | | 6.85% – 10.80 | % |
Lease-up period | | | 18 months | |
Net rental rate per square foot | | $ | 10.25 – 34.50 | |

Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The current market rate the Company utilized was internally estimated; therefore, the Company concluded its determination of the fair value of its fixed rate secured debt was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs (as described in note 2). The Company’s assessment of the

(6) Leasing Activity
The Company leases its operating properties to tenants under agreements that are classified as operating leases. At December 31, 2011, future minimum receipts from tenants on leases for each of the next five years and thereafter are as follows:
| | | | |
Year: | | | | |
2012 | | $ | 92,536,808 | |
2013 | | | 90,570,103 | |
2014 | | | 90,273,370 | |
2015 | | | 89,613,955 | |

Thereafter | | | 250,736,696 | |
| | | | |
| | $ | 694,479,012 | |
| | | | |
In addition to minimum rents, certain leases require reimbursements of specified operating expenses, which amounted to $23,773,780, $7,534,312, and $4,525,455 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are included in contractual rental income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
One tenant occupies 28% of the Company’s 11 million total square feet in three buildings. This tenant accounts for approximately 18% of future minimum receipts.
(7) Members’ Equity
Operating and Financing Distributions
The Company pays operating distributions to its members in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement dated May 5, 2008 and amended and restated December 17, 2010. The Agreement provides the Members a first tier return equal to 6.25% per annum of the Members’ Unrecovered Capital, as defined, which shall be paid quarterly to the extent cash is available. CBOP has priority over DRLP for payment of first tier returns. To the extent any first tier return is not paid, it shall accumulate and compound with interest on the unpaid amount at the first tier rate.
If the first tier return is paid, then available cash shall be paid pro rata to the Members until the Members have received a return of their Unrecovered Capital. Once the Members have received the return of their Unrecovered Capital, then the balance is distributed to the Members in accordance with their membership interests (80% to CBOP and 20% to DRLP).
The primary distinction between the Members is the distribution priority and voting rights. CBOP has priority on distributions and has greater voting rights than DRLP. However, all Major Decisions, as defined in the Agreement, require unanimous consent of all members of the Company’s executive committee, which includes representation by the Members.
In addition, the Agreement provides for distributions of Net Capital Transaction Proceeds, as defined. Net Capital Transaction Proceeds are distributed first to members who have made priority loans. Proceeds would then be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Unrecovered Capital balances, which is 80% and 20% to CBOP and DRLP, respectively. Excess proceeds would then be allocated to
F-79
DUKE/HULFISH, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
December 31, 2011 and 2010
CBOP until those distributions equal CBOP’s cumulative First Tier Return (6.25%) from the inception of the Company to the date of such distribution; then to DRLP until the distributions equal DRLP’s cumulative First Tier Return (6.25%) from the inception of the Company to the date of such distribution; then to the Members in accordance with their percentage membership interests until the cumulative distributions received by CBOP equal an amount needed to attain a 10% internal rate of return for CBOP. The balance would then be allocated 25% to DRLP and 75% to CBOP.
In connection with the November 2010 financing discussed in note 5, proceeds from debt financing of $72,888,331 and $18,222,083 were distributed to CBOP and DRLP, respectively, during 2010 and are reflected as a reduction of CBOP’s and DRLP’s equity at December 31, 2010.
Operating proceeds of $12,720,000 and $3,180,000 were distributed to CBOP and DRLP, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010. In addition, operating distributions of $10,640,000 and $2,660,000 to CBOP and DRLP, respectively, were declared in 2010 and recontributed to the Company in order to fund development costs. The Company is treating these amounts as capital distributions and capital contributions in the accompanying consolidated 2010 Statement of Members’ Equity.
During 2011, CBOP and DRLP made contributions of $31,200,000 and $7,800,000, respectively, in order to cover the shortfall between the payoff of The Facility and the 2011 mortgage note borrowings (note 5). These contributions are reflected as an increase to CBOP’s and DRLP’s equity at December 31, 2011.
Operating proceeds of $16,960,000 and $4,240,000 were distributed to CBOP and DRLP, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011. In addition, operating distributions of $25,364,095 and $6,341,025 to CBOP and DRLP, respectively, were declared in 2011 and recontributed to the Company in order to fund development costs. The Company is treating these amounts as capital distributions and capital contributions in the accompanying consolidated 2011 Statement of Members’ Equity.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no unpaid and accumulated first tier returns due to CBOP or DRLP.
As of December 31, 2009, there were $237,694 and $55,947 of unpaid and accumulated first tier returns due to CBOP and DRLP, respectively.
Liquidation Distributions and Allocation of Net Income
Net income is allocated to the partners based on how proceeds would be allocated in connection with a hypothetical liquidation of the Company at book value. Proceeds would first be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Unrecovered Capital balances, which is 80% and 20% to CBOP and DRLP, respectively. Excess proceeds would then be allocated to CBOP until those distributions equal CBOP’s cumulative First Tier Return (6.25%) from the inception of the Company to the date of such distribution; then to DRLP until the distributions equal DRLP’s cumulative First Tier Return (6.25%) from the inception of the Company to the date of such distribution; then to the Members in accordance with their percentage membership interests until the cumulative distributions received by CBOP equal an amount needed to attain a 10% internal rate of return for CBOP. The balance would then be allocated 25% to DRLP and 75% to CBOP.
In connection with the amended and restated Agreement, the Agreement provides for a call option that upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, as defined, CBOP may elect to acquire DRLP’s interest in the Company. The call price would be based on the average of each of the Members’ qualified appraiser’s written appraisals for the fair market value of the real estate properties if the appraisals are within 10% of the lower fair market value. If the appraisals are not within 10% of the lower fair market value, then a third appraisal is performed and the call price is calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.
