We operate commercial real estate or real estate-related assets located in and outside the United States on an opportunistic basis. In particular, we have focused on acquiring properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment, or repositioning, or those located in markets and submarkets with higher volatility, lower barriers to entry, and high growth potential. We completed our first property acquisition in March 2006. As of September 30, 2011, we were invested in 20 assets including:
| · | 10 wholly-owned properties (including one asset held for sale); |
| · | four consolidated properties through investments in joint ventures; |
| · | a consolidating interest in a note receivable joint venture; |
| · | a mezzanine loan for one multifamily property; |
| · | a noncontrolling, unconsolidated ownership interests in three properties that are accounted for using the equity method; and |
| · | a noncontrolling, unconsolidated ownership interest in a joint venture consisting of 22 properties which is accounted for using the equity method. |
Our investment properties are located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Missouri, Nevada, Texas, The Commonwealth of The Bahamas, London, England, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia.
Substantially all of our business is conducted through Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP I, LP, a Texas limited partnership organized in November 2004 (“Behringer Harvard OP I”), or subsidiaries thereof. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO, Inc., a Delaware corporation, owns less than a 0.1% interest in Behringer Harvard OP I as its sole general partner. The remaining interest of Behringer Harvard OP I is held as a limited partnership interest by our wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO Business Trust, a Maryland business trust.
We are externally managed and advised by Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I, LLC (“Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I” or the “Advisor”), a Texas limited liability company formed in June 2007. Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for identifying and making acquisitions, dispositions and investments on our behalf.

2. | Interim Unaudited Financial Information |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2011. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in this report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
The results for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statement of equity as of September 30, 2011, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to fairly present our condensed consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2011 and our condensed consolidated results of operations, equity, and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature.

Our financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business as the Company proceeds through its disposition phase. The Company has experienced significant losses and may generate negative cash flows as mortgage note obligations and expenses exceed revenues. If we are unable to sell a property when we determine to do so as contemplated in our business plan, it could have a significant adverse effect on our cash flows that are necessary to meet our mortgage obligations and to satisfy our other liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is, therefore, dependent upon its ability to sell the real estate investments, to pay down debt as it matures if extensions or new financing is unavailable and to fund certain ongoing costs of the Company and its development and operating properties.
We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Described below are certain of our significant accounting policies. The disclosures regarding several of the policies have been condensed or omitted in accordance with interim reporting regulations specified by Form 10-Q. Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete listing of all of our significant accounting policies.
Real Estate
We amortize the value of in-place leases acquired to expense over the term of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any anticipated renewal periods, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and tenant relationship intangibles would be charged to expense. As of September 30, 2011, the estimated remaining useful lives for acquired lease intangibles range from less than one year to approximately nine years.
Anticipated amortization expense associated with the acquired lease intangibles and acquired other intangible assets for each of the following five years as of September 30, 2011 is as follows (in thousands):

Condominium Inventory
Condominium inventory is stated at the lower of cost or fair market value, and consists of land acquisition costs, land development costs, construction costs and interest and real estate taxes, which are capitalized during the period beginning with the commencement of development and ending with the completion of construction. At September 30, 2011, condominium inventory consisted of $17.4 million of finished units and $12.9 million of work in progress. As of December 31, 2010, condominium inventory consisted of $27.6 million of finished units and $31.6 million of work in progress. In February 2011, we received $14.7 million related to the monetization of State of Missouri historic tax credits on the redevelopment of the Chase Park Plaza Hotel located in St. Louis, Missouri, which was recorded as a reduction of our condominium inventory. The proceeds from these historic tax credits were used to pay down the outstanding balance of the Chase Park Plaza Hotel loan.
For condominium inventory, at each reporting date, management compares the estimated fair value less costs to sell to the carrying value. An adjustment is recorded to the extent that the fair value less costs to sell is less than the carrying value. We determine the estimated fair value of condominiums based on comparable sales in the normal course of business under existing and anticipated market conditions. This evaluation takes into consideration estimated future selling prices, costs incurred to date, estimated additional future costs, and management’s plans for the property.
The nationwide downturn in the housing and related condominium market that began during 2007 and continues through the third quarter of 2011, resulting in lower than expected sales volume and reduced selling prices through the second quarter of 2011. As a result of our evaluations, we recognized a non-cash charge of $1.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to reduce the carrying value of condominiums at Chase-The Private Residences and a non-cash charge of $4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to reduce the carrying value of the condominium development at Cordillera. Both of these non-cash charges are classified as condominium inventory impairment charges in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. We recognized a non-cash charge of $4.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to reduce the carrying value of the condominiums at Chase – The Private Residences. In the event that market conditions continue to decline in the future or the current difficult market conditions extend beyond our expectations, additional adjustments may be necessary.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable primarily consist of straight-line rental revenue receivables of $7.6 million and $6.7 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and receivables from our hotel operators and tenants related to our other consolidated properties of $2.9 million and $3 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.4 million as of both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Investment Impairment
For all of our real estate and real estate related investments, we monitor events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable. Examples of the types of events and circumstances that would cause management to assess our assets for potential impairment include, but are not limited to: a significant decrease in the market price of an asset; a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset is being used; an accumulation of costs in excess of the acquisition basis plus construction of the property; major vacancies and the resulting loss of revenues; natural disasters; a change in the projected holding period; legitimate purchase offers and changes in the global and local markets or economic conditions. Our assets may at times be concentrated in limited geographic locations and, to the extent that our portfolio is concentrated in limited geographic locations, downturns specifically related to such regions may result in tenants defaulting on their lease obligations at a portion of our properties within a short time period, which may result in asset impairments. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset and from its eventual disposition to the carrying amount of the asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value. We consider projected future undiscounted cash flows, trends, strategic decisions regarding future development plans, and other factors in our assessment of whether impairment conditions exist. While we believe our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding factors such as market rents, economic conditions, and occupancy rates could significantly affect these estimates.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
We also evaluate our investments in notes receivable as of each reporting date. If we believe that it is probable that we will not collect all principal and interest in accordance with the terms of the loans, we consider the loan impaired. When evaluating loans for potential impairment, we compare the carrying amount of the loans to the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or, if a loan is collateral dependent, to the estimated fair value of the related collateral net of any senior loans. For impaired loans, a provision is made for loan losses to adjust the reserve for loan losses. The reserve for loan losses is a valuation allowance that reflects our current estimate of loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The reserve is adjusted through the provision for loan losses account on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. In accordance with GAAP, from the time a loan goes into default until the time that a foreclosure occurs, a satisfactory workout is completed, or the loan is reinstated by the borrower, we do not recognize interest income on the loan, except to the extent we receive payments.
Through the third quarter of 2011, we evaluated certain real estate properties for impairment as a result of changes in expected holding periods. Accordingly, we recognized impairment charges of $6.2 million related to Rio Salado, $5.1 million related to Frisco Square and $1.5 million related to Regency Center. We also recognized an impairment charge of $3.6 million related to 2603 Augusta in the first quarter of 2011, which is included in discontinued operations. 2603 Augusta was sold to an unaffiliated third party on June 30, 2011.
On September 14, 2010, we entered into a forbearance agreement with the Royal Island borrower pursuant to which, among other things, the borrower agreed not to contest or oppose any foreclosure, exercise of power of sale, or similar action that we may seek in order to protect our investment once the agreement expired. Further, the borrower agreed to fully cooperate to expedite the proceedings should we take such a course of action. The forbearance agreement gave the general partner and other interested parties time to raise additional equity for development of the Royal Island property. The forbearance period expired on May 27, 2011 without the total additional development equity raised. Consequently, there is a change in the timing of the development of the property. Based upon a third party appraisal of the collateral obtained after the expiration of the forbearance agreement, there is a decline in the fair market value of the property. As a result, an impairment was recorded on Royal Island’s books. Our portion of the impairment is $31.1 million, which was recorded through equity in losses of unconsolidated joint ventures. This reduced our investment basis in Royal Island to zero as of September 30, 2011. Additionally, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according the terms of the loan agreements. We believe the only source available to repay the loan is the underlying collateral. Based upon our evaluation of the current fair value of the Royal Island development, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $5.3 million to reduce our note receivable balance to the underlying collateral value.
In the first quarter of 2010, we recorded a reserve for loan losses of $11.1 million related to our mezzanine loan associated with Alexan Black Mountain, including $7.1 million recognized as a provision to loan losses on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and the remaining $4 million as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated distributions and net loss in our condensed consolidated statement of equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Other than the impairment charges discussed above, we believe the carrying values of our operating real estate assets, properties under development, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and notes receivable are currently recoverable. However, if market conditions worsen beyond our current expectations, if our assumptions regarding expected future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of our assets decrease, if our expected hold periods decrease, or if changes in our development strategy significantly affect any key assumptions used in our fair value calculations, we may need to take additional charges in future periods for impairments related to existing assets. Any such non-cash charges would have an adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Real Estate Held for Sale
We classify properties as held for sale when certain criteria are met, in accordance with GAAP. We present the assets and obligations of a property held for sale separately on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, and we cease recording depreciation and amortization expense related to that property. Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. As of September 30, 2011, our Crossroads property was classified as held for sale. On October 4, 2011, we completed the sale of Crossroads to an unaffiliated third party. We had no properties classified as held for sale at December 31, 2010.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management 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. These estimates include such items as purchase price allocation for real estate acquisitions, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, allowance for doubtful accounts, and allowance for loan losses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued further clarification on when a loan modification or restructuring is considered a troubled debt restructuring. In determining whether a loan modification represents a troubled debt restructuring, an entity should consider whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty and the lender has granted a concession to the borrower. This guidance is to be applied retrospectively, with early application permitted. This guidance was effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.
In May 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance for fair value measurements. The guidance amends existing guidance to provide common fair value measurements and related disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine if it will have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.
In June 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance related to comprehensive income. The guidance requires registrants to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, registrants will be required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. Our current presentation complies with the guidance of this new standard.
4. | Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value |
Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy) has been established.
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that we have the ability to 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, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that 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 fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our 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.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Currently, we use interest rate caps to manage our interest rate risk and foreign exchange put/call options to manage the impact of foreign currency movements on our financial position for our net investments in foreign real estate joint ventures. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, implied volatilities, and foreign currency exchange rates.
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. 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 itself and its counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded a $5.3 million provision for loan losses related to our Royal Island loan. We recognized impairment charges of $6.2 million related to Rio Salado, $5.1 million related to Frisco Square and $1.5 million related to Regency Center. We also recognized condominium inventory impairment charges of $1.9 million and $4 million related to Chase - The Private Residences and Cordillera, respectively. In addition, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.6 million related to 2603 Augusta which has been reclassified to discontinued operations. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded impairment charges of $27.2 million related to our interests in Crossroads, Regency Center, 2603 Augusta, Northpoint Central, our 30.38% unconsolidated interest in Royal Island, and a $5.7 million condominium impairment charge related to Chase–The Private Residences. In addition, we recognized a provision to the reserve for loan losses of $7.1 million related to our Alexan Black Mountain note receivable for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The inputs used to calculate the fair value of these assets included projected cash flows and a risk-adjusted rate of return that we estimated would be used by a market participant in valuing these assets. This fair value estimate is considered Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about our assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010 ($ in thousands):

5. | Fair Value Disclosure of Financial Instruments |
We determined the following disclosure of estimated fair values using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the related estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, management estimated that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other liabilities, payables/receivables from related parties, and distributions payable were at amounts that reasonably approximated their fair value based on their highly liquid nature and/or short-term maturities, and the carrying value of notes receivable reasonably approximated fair value based on expected interest rates for notes to similar borrowers with similar terms and remaining maturities.
The notes payable of $303.7 million and $347.8 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, have a fair value of approximately $304.2 million and $348.4 million, respectively, based upon interest rates for mortgages with similar terms and remaining maturities that management believes we could obtain. Interest rate swaps and caps are recorded at their respective fair values in prepaid expenses and other assets.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on information available to our management as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Although our management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these condensed consolidated financial statements since those respective dates, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
6. | Real Estate Investments |
As of September 30, 2011, we wholly owned 10 properties (including one property held for sale) and consolidated four properties through investments in joint ventures and a consolidating interest in a note receivable joint venture.

7. | Variable Interest Entities |
GAAP requires the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Our variable interest in VIEs may be in the form of (1) equity ownership and/or (2) loans provided by us to a VIE, or other partner. We examine specific criteria and use judgment when determining if we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether we are the primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE’s executive committee, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, level of economic disproportionality between us and the other partner(s), and contracts to purchase assets from VIEs.

Tanglewood at Voss
On September 30, 2010, we reached an agreement with the Voss developer and the third-party lender to obtain 100% fee simple interest in Tanglewood at Voss, including assumption of the senior construction loan, in exchange for the full satisfaction of our mezzanine loan balance plus accrued interest. Following the Voss transaction, the Voss developer does not have any continuing involvement with Tanglewood at Voss, and we own 100% of the equity interest.
Royal Island
In May 2007, for an initial cash investment of $20 million, we acquired an approximate 31% equity interest as a limited partner in the development and construction of a resort hotel, spa, golf course, marina, and residences on three islands located in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas (“Royal Island”).
Based on our evaluation, we have determined that the entity meets the criteria of a VIE but that we are not the primary beneficiary because we do not have the power to direct the activities of Royal Island that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance. The power to direct these activities resides with the general partner. Accordingly, we do not consolidate the Royal Island entity and instead account for our equity investment under the equity method of accounting. At September 30, 2011, there was approximately $31.7 million in real estate assets related to Royal Island.
In the second quarter of 2011, the equity method losses exceeded the investment balance in Royal Island. As a result, our investment in Royal Island was reduced to zero as of September 30, 2011 and the equity method losses that exceeded the investment balance were treated as a reduction in the note receivable.
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our recorded investment in unconsolidated VIEs and our maximum exposure to loss were as follows ($ in thousands):
As of September 30, 2011 | | | | | | |
| | Investments in Unconsolidated VIEs | | | Maximum Exposure to Loss | |
Alexan Black Mountain (1) | | $ | - | | | $ | 2,540 | |
Royal Island (2) | | | - | | | | 31,353 | |
| | $ | - | | | $ | 33,893 | |

Royal Island (2) | | | 14,226 | | | | 59,807 | |
| | $ | 14,226 | | | $ | 62,347 | |
(1) We are a mezzanine lender to Alexan Black Mountain, which has been determined to be a VIE. We do not have an equity investment in Alexan Black Moutain. Our maximum exposure to loss is limited to the net outstanding balance of the note receivable for Alexan Black Mountain. Prior to January 1, 2010, we consolidated Alexan Black Mountain.
(2) Our maximum exposure to loss for Royal Island is limited to our equity investment in the unconsolidated VIE of $14.2 million as of December 31, 2010, plus the outstanding balance of our Royal Island notes receivable of $31.4 million and $45.6 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Royal Island Bridge Loan
In December 2007, we participated in a bridge loan financing arrangement for the continuing development and construction of Royal Island. The aggregate principal amount available under the bridge loan was $60 million, consisting of three tranches. Under the bridge loan, we agreed to lend a tranche of up to $40 million, which is subordinate to the other two tranches. The bridge loan accrued interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 8% per annum with accrued interest and principal payable at the maturity date, December 20, 2008, and was secured by the Royal Island property. In June 2009, we purchased the interest in the first of the two superior tranches, the A-1 tranche, for $3.1 million. In March 2010, we purchased the interest in two notes in the A-2 tranche for $2.2 million.

Under the terms of the loan documents, the bridge loan could have been extended once for a period of six months upon the satisfaction of certain conditions upon notice given by the borrower by November 20, 2008 and a payment of an extension fee. At the maturity date, not all of the conditions were satisfied and, as a result, the bridge loan went into default and became a non-performing loan. The balance owed to us at the time of default was $37.7 million, including accrued interest and fees. Discussions between the bridge loan lenders and the borrower to complete a satisfactory workout plan are ongoing; however, there are no assurances that a workout plan will be completed or that the loan will be reinstated by the borrower. Accordingly, we may seek other actions under the loan documents to protect our investment, including foreclosure, exercise of power of sale, or conveyance in satisfaction of debt. In accordance with GAAP, from the time the loan went into default until the time that a foreclosure occurs, a satisfactory workout is completed, or the loan is reinstated by the borrower, we do not recognize interest income on the loan, except to the extent we receive payments.
In January 2010, we collected $5.5 million, which were applied to unpaid interest and fees from the borrower, pursuant to the terms of the bridge loan agreement.
On September 14, 2010, we entered into a forbearance agreement with the borrower pursuant to which, among other things, the borrower agreed not to contest or oppose any foreclosure, exercise of power of sale, or similar action that we may seek in order to protect our investment. Further, the borrower agreed to fully cooperate to expedite the proceedings should we take such a course of action. The forbearance period expired on May 27, 2011.
In January 2011, pursuant to a settlement agreement with Shannon B. Skokos and Theodore C. Skokos (the “Skokoses”), related to a lawsuit filed in December 2008, a new joint venture was created among Behringer Harvard RI Lender, LLC, Behringer Harvard RI A-1 Lender, LLC and the Skokoses to own all of the outstanding notes related to Royal Island. Each lender contributed its respective note in exchange for a pro rata ownership interest in the joint venture, which resulted in our owning approximately 87% of the joint venture. As part of this settlement, the Skokos $7 million note was contributed to the partnership in exchange for a 13% ownership interest in the joint venture.
Based upon current information, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according the terms of the loan agreement. The forbearance agreement that allowed the general partner and other interest parties time to raise equity for development of the Royal Island property expired in the second quarter of 2011. We believe the only source available to repay the loan is the underlying collateral. During the second quarter of 2011, we evaluated the current fair value of the Royal Island development and recorded an impairment on the unconsolidated entity’s books. The equity method losses at Royal Island for the second quarter of 2011 exceeded the investment balance. In accordance with GAAP, equity method losses that exceeded our investment balance were recorded against the basis of other investments the investor had in Royal Island. As such, the excess equity method losses of $19.6 million were recorded as a reduction in our note receivable through the equity in losses for unconsolidated joint ventures. Additionally, we recorded $5.3 million as provision for loan losses against the allowance to record the note to the fair value of the underlying collateral.
At September 30, 2011, the balance of the note receivable was $31.4 million, net of the allowance. Current market conditions with respect to credit availability and fundamentals within the real estate markets instill significant levels of uncertainty. Accordingly, future adverse developments in market conditions would cause us to re-evaluate our conclusions regarding the collectability of our notes receivable and could result in material provisions for loan loss charges.

Our notes payable balance was $303.7 million at September 30, 2011 as compared to $347.8 million at December 31, 2010 and consisted of borrowings and assumptions of debt related to our property acquisitions and our borrowings under our $75 million senior secured credit facility. Each of our notes payable is collateralized by one or more of our properties. At September 30, 2011, our notes payable interest rates ranged from 1.7% to 15%, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4%. Of our $303.7 million in notes payable at September 30, 2011, $272.6 million represented debt subject to variable interest rates. At September 30, 2011, our notes payable had maturity dates that ranged from November 2011 to October 2016. We have unconditionally guaranteed payment of the notes payable related to Northborough Tower, Bent Tree Green, Tanglewood at Voss, Chase Park Plaza Hotel and Frisco Square.
On September 1, 2011, we signed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of Crossroads. On September 30, 2011, the lender agreed to accept the net sales proceeds of $26.1 million as full payment of the outstanding debt of $26.7 million. On October 4, 2011, the property was sold to an unaffiliated third party, and the net proceeds from the sale of Crossroads were paid to the lender in full satisfaction of the outstanding debt.

Additionally, our notes payable related to Chase Park Plaza Hotel, Frisco Square I, II, III and IV, the senior secured credit facility, Bent Tree Green, Frisco Square Theatre and Tanglewood at Voss all mature within the next twelve months. We are currently working with a new lender to replace the existing Chase Park Plaza Hotel loan. We have an agreement with the new lender and anticipate that we will pay off the existing loan balance of the Chase Park Plaza Hotel loan and replace the existing debt with new debt on November 15, 2011. We are working with our lenders to either extend the maturity dates of the other loans or refinance the loans under different terms. We currently expect to use funds generated by our operating properties, additional borrowings, and proceeds from the disposition of properties to continue making our scheduled debt service payments until the maturity dates of the loans are extended, the loans are refinanced, or the outstanding balance of the loans are completely paid off. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to refinance our borrowings with more or less favorable terms or extend the maturity dates of such loans. In the event that the lenders demanded immediate payment of the entire loan balances, we would have to consider all available alternatives, including transferring legal possession of the property to the lender.
We are not in compliance with covenants related to Becket House, Bent Tree Green, Frisco Square, Chase Park Plaza Hotel and our senior secured credit facility. The Becket House senior loan requires that a hedging arrangement remain in place during the term of the loan. We currently do not have a hedge in place. This is not an event of default unless the lender provides notification and requires us to purchase the hedge. The Bent Tree Green loan requires a debt service coverage ratio that the property does not meet as of September 30, 2011. Under the Bent Tree Green loan agreement, we have a 120 day period to cure the deficiency. We are working with the lender to cure the deficiency within the time frame allowed by obtaining new tenant leases and are in discussions with the lender for additional time to cure the deficiency.
Loan covenants related to Frisco Square, Chase Park Plaza Hotel and the senior secured credit facility include covenants that require us to maintain a tangible net worth of $242 million. As of September 30, 2011, our tangible net worth is $228 million. We are working with the lenders to waive the events of noncompliance or modify the covenant so that we are in compliance. However, there is no assurance that the lenders will agree to waive the events of noncompliance or to modify the covenant and may pursue their rights and remedies under the loan agreement.
Becket House
We executed an agreement with the senior lender effective as of February 18, 2011 to bifurcate the loan into two new loans consisting of an A loan of £8 million ($12.9 million) and a B loan of £3.7 million ($6 million). We also executed an agreement with an unaffiliated third party to provide up to £4 million ($6.5 million) in additional financing (the “Junior Loan”). The B loan and Junior Loan have essentially the same terms and are subordinate to the A loan. The A loan, B loan and Junior Loan will mature on December 31, 2012. At September 30, 2011, the cumulative outstanding principal balance of the Becket House loans was $23.6 million. At December 31, 2010, the outstanding balance of the Becket House loans was $18.1 million.
Credit Facility
In February 2008, we entered into a senior secured credit facility providing for up to $75 million of secured borrowings. The initial credit facility allowed us to borrow up to $75 million in revolving loans, of which up to $20 million was available for issuing letters of credit. We have unconditionally guaranteed payment of the senior secured credit facility. The availability of credit under the senior secured credit facility is limited by the terms of the credit agreement. As of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, the maximum availability under the senior secured credit facility was fully utilized. Effective February 13, 2011, we reached an agreement with the lenders of the senior secured credit facility to extend the maturity date of the loan from February 13, 2011 to February 13, 2012. The loan extension required a principal payment of $0.7 million. On April 26, 2011, we made a principal payment of $4 million from the proceeds of the sale of 12600 Whitewater. On June 30, 2011, we made a principal payment of $17.1 million from the proceeds of the sale of 2603 Augusta. The credit facility balance is $48.3 million as of September 30, 2011.
Royal Island
In February 2011, Behringer Harvard Royal Island Debt, L.P. secured a $10.4 million loan (the “Debt LP Loan”) for the purpose of preserving and protecting the collateral securing the bridge loan. The Debt LP Loan bears interest at 15% per annum. Payments are due from proceeds from sales or refinancing of the project or from other payments received on the bridge loan. The Debt LP Loan matures at the earliest of (a) the date that the cash proceeds from sales of the collateral or refinancing of the bridge loan repay all accrued principal and interest outstanding, (b) five years from the date of foreclosure of the project, or (c) October 10, 2016. The Debt LP Loan would be converted to limited partnership interest in Royal Island L.P. as part of any recapitalization of Royal Island. As of September 30, 2011, the outstanding balance of the Debt LP Loan was $3.5 million. We had not entered into the Debt LP Loan as of December 31, 2010.

Frisco Square
On August 31, 2011, effective as of August 28, 2011, we, through wholly owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership, entered into a Modification and Extension Agreement (the “Frisco Square Loan Extension”) with the Frisco Square lenders for the five loan tranches associated with Frisco Square to extend the maturity date of the Frisco Square loans to January 28, 2012. The interest rates for the five separate tranches of the Frisco Square Loan Extension were unchanged from the terms of the original Frisco Square loans, subject to the lender condition that if less than $10 million of lender approved sales contracts were in place by October 28, 2011, the interest rates for each tranche within the Frisco Square Loan Extension would increase by 50 basis points. As of October 28, 2011, $10 million of lender approved sales were not in place. The Frisco Square Loan Extension requires that a principal payment of $0.2 million be made each month and that all excess cash flow after interest and required amortization is placed into a restricted deposit account and held as additional collateral. As a result of the Frisco Square Loan Extension, we have unconditionally guaranteed payment of the Frisco Square loans. The Frisco Square Loan Extension may be extended for an additional six months, upon meeting certain lender requirements. As of November 14, 2011, we do not believe that we will have the necessary sales contracts in place to meet the lender requirements necessary to extend the loans for the additional six months.
Chase–The Private Residences
In September 2011, the loan for Chase–The Private Residences was fully repaid through proceeds from condominium sales. Under the prospective new loan with a new lender, future proceeds from condominium sales will be used to pay down the Chase Park Plaza Hotel loan until certain covenants are met.
Rio Salado
On September 15, 2011, Behringer Harvard Rio Salado, LLC secured a $3.6 million loan for the purpose of completing certain infrastructure-related projects at Rio Salado. The loan bears interest at 12% and matures on September 15, 2014. The principal balance of the loan was $0.3 million as of September 30, 2011. We had not entered into the loan as of December 31, 2010.

10. | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities |
We may be exposed to the risk associated with variability of interest rates that might impact our cash flows and results of operations. The hedging strategy of entering into interest rate caps and swaps, therefore, is to eliminate or reduce, to the extent possible, the volatility of cash flows. In addition, we may be exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to our net investments in the Becket House leasehold interest and the Central Europe Joint Venture. Accordingly, our hedging strategy is to protect our net investments in foreign currency denominated entities against the risk of adverse changes in foreign currency to U.S. dollar exchange rates.
In August 2010, we entered into two new interest rate cap agreements related to the debt on our Santa Clara 700/750 buildings. In July 2010, our foreign currency put/call option related to Central Europe Joint Venture expired.

Credit risk and collateral
Our credit exposure related to interest rate and foreign currency derivative instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a net liability fair value at the reporting date. These outstanding instruments may expose us to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. However, we have not experienced any credit loss as a result of counterparty nonperformance in the past. To manage credit risk, we select and will periodically review counterparties based on credit ratings and limit our exposure to any single counterparty. Under our agreement with the counterparty related to our interest rate caps of the Santa Clara 700/750 buildings, cash deposits may be required to be posted by the counterparty whenever their credit rating falls below certain levels. At September 30, 2011, no collateral has been posted with our counterparties nor have our counterparties posted collateral with us related to our derivative instruments.
We initiated the payment of monthly distributions in August 2006. From April 2007 through March 2009, the declared distribution rate was a 3% annualized rate of return, calculated on a daily record basis of $0.0008219 per share. Pursuant to our Third Amended and Restated Distribution Reinvestment Plan (the “DRP”), many of our stockholders elected to reinvest any cash distribution in additional shares of common stock. We recorded all distributions when declared, except that the stock issued through the DRP was recorded when the shares were actually issued.
In connection with entering our disposition phase, on March 28, 2011, our board of directors discontinued regular, quarterly distributions in favor of those that may arise from proceeds available to be distributed from the sale of assets. On May 25, 2011, we filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to our registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-146965) (the “S-3 Amendment”) to deregister 2,941,591 unsold shares of common stock being offered pursuant to the DRP. By filing the S-3 Amendment, we terminated the offering of shares under the registration statement.
12. | Related Party Transactions |
Since the Company’s inception, the Advisor or its predecessors have been responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for, among other things, identifying and making acquisitions and other investments on our behalf. The Company’s relationship with the Advisor, including the fees paid by us to the Advisor or the reimbursement of expenses by us for amounts paid, or incurred by the Advisor, on our behalf is governed by an advisory management agreement that has been in place since September 20, 2005 and amended at various times thereafter.
Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
In early 2011, the Advisor and the Company, through members of its audit committee, considered and discussed the application of certain fee and expense reimbursement provisions contained in the advisory management agreement. To clarify the calculation of these fees and expense reimbursements and to, among other things, revise the calculation of the debt financing fee that may be paid to the Advisor, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Advisory Management Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with our Advisor on May 13, 2011. The Amended Agreement is effective as of December 31, 2010.
We pay Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I an annual asset management fee of 0.75% of the aggregate asset value of acquired real estate and real estate related assets. The fee is payable monthly in arrears in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the aggregate asset value as of the last day of the month. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we expensed $4.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of asset management fees. Amounts include asset management fees from discontinued operations.
Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I, or its affiliates, receives acquisition and advisory fees of 2.5% of the contract purchase price of each asset for the acquisition, development or construction of real property or 2.5% of the funds advanced in respect of a loan. Under the Amended Agreement, our obligation to reimburse the Advisor for acquisition expenses is no longer limited to 0.5% of the contract purchase price of each asset, or with respect to a loan, up to 0.5% of the funds advanced (including expenses paid or incurred prior to amendment of the advisory management agreement). For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we expensed $0.2 million in acquisition and advisory fees. Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I did not earn acquisition and advisory fees or acquisition expense reimbursements in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Under the Amended Agreement, the debt financing fee paid to the Advisor for a Loan (as defined in the Amended Agreement) will be 1% of the loan commitment amount. Amounts due to the Advisor for a Revised Loan (as defined in the Amended Agreement) will be 40 basis points of the loan commitment amount for the first year of any extension (provided the extension is for at least 120 days), an additional 30 basis points for the second year of an extension, and another 30 basis points for the third year of an extension in each case, prorated for any extension period less than a full year. The maximum debt financing fee for any extension of three or more years is 1% of the loan commitment amount. Under the previous agreement, the Advisor was entitled to a fee of 1% of the loan commitment amount regardless of the length of the extension. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in debt financing fees.
We reimburse Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I or its affiliates for all expenses paid or incurred by them in connection with the services they provide to us, including direct expenses and the costs of salaries and benefits of persons employed by those entities and performing services for us, subject to the limitation that we will not reimburse for any amount by which our Advisor’s operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four fiscal quarters immediately preceding the date reimbursement is sought exceeds the greater of: (1) 2% of our average invested assets or (2) 25% of our net income for that four quarter period other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and any gain from the sale of our assets for that period. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, we may reimburse the Advisor for expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. The salaries and benefits that we reimburse to our Advisor exclude the salaries and benefits that our Advisor or its affiliates may pay to our named executive officers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we expensed costs for administrative services of $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
We pay HPT Management Services LLC, Behringer Harvard Real Estate Services, LLC, or Behringer Harvard Opportunity Management Services, LLC (collectively, “BH Property Management”), affiliates of our Advisor and our property managers, fees for management, leasing, and construction supervision of our properties, which may be subcontracted to unaffiliated third parties. Such fees are equal to 4.5% of gross revenues plus leasing commissions based upon the customary leasing commission applicable to the same geographic location of the respective property. In the event that we contract directly with a non-affiliated third-party property manager in respect of a property, we will pay BH Property Management an oversight fee equal to 0.5% of gross revenues of the property managed. In no event will we pay both a property management fee and an oversight fee to BH Property Management with respect to any particular property. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we expensed property management fees or oversight fees of $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
The Company has obtained a $2.5 million loan from our Advisor to further bridge the Company’s short-term liquidity needs. The $2.5 million loan bears interest at a rate of 5% and has a maturity date of the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the date of the note, (ii) the termination without cause of the advisory agreement, or (iii) the termination without cause of the property management agreement. The balance on the loan at September 30, 2011 was $1.5 million. The loan did not exist as of December 31, 2010.

At September 30, 2011, we had a payable to our Advisor and its affiliates of $5.3 million. This balance consists of accrued and deferred fees during 2011, including asset management fees, administrative service expenses, debt financing fees, acquisition fees, property management fees, a loan of $1.5 million and other miscellaneous costs payable to Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I and BH Property Management. At December 31, 2010, we had a payable to our Advisor and its affiliates of $0.9 million.
We are dependent on Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I and BH Property Management for certain services that are essential to us, including asset acquisition and disposition decisions, property management and leasing services, and other general administrative responsibilities. In the event that these companies are unable to provide us with the respective services, we would be required to obtain such services from other sources.
On September 26, 2011, we, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of our operating partnership, entered into a lease agreement with Behringer Harvard REIT I, Inc., a real estate investment program sponsored by our sponsor Behringer Harvard Holdings LLC, for approximately 14,500 rentable square feet at Bent Tree Green. The lease commenced on November 1, 2011 for a 66-month term (the first six months of which are free rent) with scheduled rent increases every 12 months. The Company’s management and board of directors determined that the lease was fair and reasonable to the Company and on terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the Company than can be obtained from unaffiliated third parties for comparable transactions or services in the same location.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto:
Forward-Looking Statements

Executive Overview
We are a Maryland corporation that was formed in November 2004 to invest in and operate commercial real estate or real-estate related assets located in or outside the United States on an opportunistic basis. We conduct substantially all of our business through our operating partnership and its subsidiaries. We are organized and qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
We are externally managed and advised by Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I, a Texas limited liability company formed in June 2007. Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on our behalf.
As of September 30, 2011, we were invested in 20 assets including ten wholly-owned properties, four consolidated properties through investments in joint ventures and a consolidating interest in a note receivable joint venture. In addition, we are the mezzanine lender for one multifamily property. During the third quarter of 2011, we purchased the remaining interest in the Rio Salado property for a di minimis amount, bringing our interest in the property to 100% from approximately 99%. We also have noncontrolling, unconsolidated ownership interests in three properties and one investment in a joint venture consisting of 22 properties that are accounted for using the equity method. Our investment properties are located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Missouri, Nevada, Texas, the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, London, England, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Strategic Asset Sales
We have entered the disposition phase of our life cycle and believe in certain instances it makes economic sense to sell properties in today’s market, such as when the value of the in-place cash flows from existing tenants is stable, predictable and attractive to potential buyers, when the property has a near-term debt maturity which cannot be resolved, or when the equity in a property can be redeployed into other assets in the portfolio in order to achieve better returns or strategic goals.
Our management is continually reviewing its overall business plan and revising the strategies necessary to maximize liquidity for the Company and its stockholders. To that end, management has identified three distinct sub-portfolios of our investments: a near-term disposition portfolio, a mid-term disposition portfolio and a long-term disposition portfolio. Properties are assigned to and may shift among sub-portfolios based on changes in market conditions, property performance, debt maturities, required capital expenditures or other factors. The near-term disposition portfolio is currently comprised of two properties that offer the best opportunity for disposition in 2011. We believe that the majority of the net proceeds from sales occurring in 2011 will be used to provide liquidity to refinance maturing debt, cover operating expenses, and make enhancements to portfolio properties in cases where additional investment makes sense for maximizing total stockholder value. The mid-term disposition portfolio is currently comprised of twelve properties that are either in markets that would benefit from anticipated rental increases and improving local markets before sale, or are in various stages of the stabilization process. As several of the properties stabilize, they may require additional time and capital resources to lease up vacancy, retain key tenants, create value through reinvestment, or sell condominium units or land parcels before their ultimate disposition. The remaining properties in the mid-term portfolio have stabilized and may be refinanced, providing us with more flexibility as to the timing of their dispositions. We anticipate completing these strategies in the 2011 – 2013 timeframe. The long-term liquidation portfolio is currently comprised of four development projects and two notes receivable, and a final exit is contingent upon a stabilized economy and resurgent demand for the respective product types. It is possible that the Company will invest enough additional capital in two of these sites to make them attractive to market to other developers rather than completing the original development plan. Due to the nature of these various portfolios, we believe that special distributions to our stockholders may occur in the future. However, there can be no assurance that future dispositions will occur, or, if they occur, that they will help us to meet our liquidity demands.
Liquidity Demands
The U.S., European and global economies continue to experience the effects of the significant downturn that began more than three years ago. This downturn continues to disrupt the broader financial and credit markets, weaken consumer confidence and impact unemployment rates. While it is unclear when the overall economy will fully recover from these weakened market conditions, we do not expect conditions to improve significantly in the near future. The primary objectives of our current business plan are to continue to preserve capital, as well as sustain and enhance property values, while continuing to focus on the disposition of our properties. Our ability to execute this plan is contingent on our ability to dispose of our properties in an orderly fashion thus providing needed liquidity. The disposal of our properties will be subject to these economic factors, including the ability of potential purchasers to access capital debt financing.
Our financial statements are presented on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business as the company proceeds through its disposition phase. If we are unable to sell a property when we determine to do so, it could have a significant adverse effect on our cash flows that are necessary to meet our mortgage obligations and to satisfy our other liabilities in the normal course of business.
Our principal demands for funds for the next twelve months and beyond will be for the payment of costs associated with the lease-up of available space at our operating properties (including commissions, tenant improvements, and capital improvements), certain ongoing costs at our development properties, Company operating expenses, special distributions as they are declared and interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness. We expect to fund a portion of these demands by using cash flow from operations of our current investments and borrowings. Additionally, we will use proceeds from our strategic asset sales.
To bridge the Company’s liquidity needs until these asset sales occur, in January 2011, the Company obtained a deferral from our Advisor of the payment of all asset management fees accruing during the months of May 2010 through March 2011 and all debt financing fees and expense reimbursements accruing during the months of July 2010 through March 2011 until the earlier of January 10, 2013 or such time as the Company has sufficient (a) net sales proceeds, (b) net refinancing proceeds, or (c) cash flow from operations, after establishing appropriate working capital reserves, to enable the Company to make payments thereon. Also in January 2011, BH Property Management deferred our obligation to pay property management oversight fees accruing during the months of July 2010 through March 2011 until the earlier of January 10, 2013 or such time as the Company has sufficient (a) net sales proceeds, (b) net refinancing proceeds, or (c) cash flow from operations, after establishing appropriate working capital reserves, to enable the Company to make payments thereon. The total deferred fees and expenses at September 30, 2011 was $3 million. No such deferral existed as of December 31, 2010.
The Company has also obtained a $2.5 million loan from our Advisor to further bridge the Company’s liquidity needs. The $2.5 million loan bears interest at a rate of 5% and has a maturity date of the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the date of the note, (ii) the termination without cause of the advisory agreement or (iii) the termination without cause of the property management agreement. The balance on the loan at September 30, 2011 was $1.5 million. As we entered into the loan in the first quarter of 2011, there was no balance as of December 31, 2010.
On August 31, 2011, effective as of August 28, 2011, we, through wholly owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership, entered into a Modification and Extension Agreement (the “Frisco Square Loan Extension”) with the Frisco Square lenders for the five loan tranches associated with Frisco Square to extend the maturity date of the Frisco Square loans to January 28, 2012. The interest rates for the five separate tranches of the Frisco Square Loan Extension were unchanged from the terms of the original Frisco Square loans, subject to the lender condition that if less than $10 million of lender approved sales contracts were in place by October 28, 2011, the interest rates for each tranche within the Frisco Square Loan Extension would increase by 50 basis points. As of October 28, 2011, $10 million of lender approved sales were not in place. The Frisco Square Loan Extension requires that a principal payment of $0.2 million be made each month and that all excess cash flow after interest and required amortization is placed into a restricted deposit account and held as additional collateral. The Frisco Square Loan Extension may be extended for an additional six months, upon meeting certain lender requirements. As of November 14, 2011, we do not believe that we will meet the lender requirements to extend the Frisco Square Loan Extension for an additional six months. We have unconditionally guaranteed payment of the Frisco Square loans.
We continually evaluate the Company’s liquidity and ability to fund future operations and debt obligations. As part of those analyses, we consider lease expirations and other factors. As indicated below, leases representing 20% of the Company’s annualized base rent will expire by the end of 2012. In the normal course of business, the Company is pursuing renewals, extensions and new leases. If the Company is unable to renew or extend the expiring leases under similar terms or is unable to negotiate new leases, it would negatively impact our liquidity and consequently adversely affect the Company’s ability to fund its ongoing operations. In addition, our portfolio is concentrated in certain geographic regions and industries, and downturns relating generally to such regions or industries may result in defaults on a number of our investments within a short time period. Such defaults would negatively affect our liquidity and adversely affect our ability to fund our ongoing operations. As of September 30, 2011, 63% and 14% of our 2011 base rent was derived from tenants in Texas and California, respectively, and 23%, 16% and 11% of our lease agreements at the office and industrial properties we consolidate on our financial statements were concentrated in the professional, scientific and technical services industry, other services (except for public administration) industry, and finance and insurance industry, respectively.
Portfolio Lease Expirations
The following table presents lease expirations at our consolidated office and industrial properties as of September 30, 2011 ($ in thousands):

(1) Annualized Base Rent represents contractual base rental income on a GAAP straight line adjustment basis from the time of our acquisition, without consideration of tenant contraction or termination rights. Tenant reimbursements generally include payment of real estate taxes, operating expenses, common area maintenance and utility charges.
Geographic Diversification
The following table shows the geographic diversification of our real estate portfolio for those developed properties we consolidate on our financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 ($ in thousands):
Location | | September 30, 2011 Revenue(1)(2) | | | Percentage of September 30, 2011 Revenue | |
Texas | | $ | 19,477 | | | | 63 | % |
California | | | 4,150 | | | | 14 | % |
Colorado | | | 3,608 | | | | 12 | % |
Missouri | | | 2,950 | | | | 10 | % |
International | | | 339 | | | | 1 | % |
| | $ | 30,524 | | | | 100 | % |
(1) Other than Cordillera, which represented 12% of our September 30, 2011 revenue, Frisco Square, which represented 12% of our September 30, 2011 revenue, Tanglewood at Voss which represented 11% of our September 30, 2011 revenue, and Northborough, which represented 11% of our September 30, 2011 revenue, no other single property represented more than 10% of our September 30, 2011 revenue. No single tenant represented more than 10% of our 2011 revenue. As an opportunistic fund, we utilize a business model driven by investment strategy and expected performance characteristics. Accordingly, we have investments in several types of real estate, including office, hotel, multifamily, condominium and land held for development.
(2) September 30, 2011 Revenue represents contractual base rental income of our office and industrial properties, as well as revenue from our multifamily and hotel properties, without consideration of tenant contraction or termination rights.
Please see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding how geographic concentration may be considered in the evaluation of our investments for impairment.
Tenant Diversification
The following table shows the tenant diversification of our real estate portfolio for those office and industrial properties that we consolidate on our financial statements as of September 30, 2011. In addition, we have approximately 400 leases at our multifamily property. These multifamily leases are cancelable and short-term in nature. We have no industry breakdown of the tenants associated with these leases, therefore, the leases are not reflected in the table below.
Tenant Diversification | | Leases at September 30, 2011 | | | Percentage of September 30, 2011 Leases | |
Professional, Scientific & Technical Services | | | 25 | | | | 23 | % |
Other Services (except Public Administration) | | | 18 | | | | 16 | % |
Finance & Insurance | | | 12 | | | | 11 | % |

| | | 111 | | | | 100 | % |
For both our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, other potential sources of capital may include proceeds from secured or unsecured debt financing, decreases in the amount of nonessential capital expenditures, and asset sales. The board has suspended the share redemption program and discontinued payments of quarterly distributions.
On January 12, 2011, we sold 4.77 acres of land that was a part of our Frisco Square investment to an unaffiliated third party for approximately $6 million. We used the net proceeds of approximately $5.7 million to pay down the principal balance of the Frisco Square notes payable.
On April 26, 2011, we sold 12600 Whitewater to an unaffiliated third party for $9.6 million. We used approximately $4 million of the proceeds to pay down our senior secured credit facility. We received net proceeds of approximately $5 million.
On June 30, 2011, we sold 2603 Augusta to an unaffiliated third party for $24 million. We used approximately $17.1 million of the proceeds to pay down our senior secured credit facility. We received net proceeds of approximately $6.3 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we sold 11 of the Chase – The Private Residences condominiums for $8.3 million. The proceeds were used to fully repay the principal balance of the Chase – The Private Residences loan. Under the prospective new loan with a new lender, future proceeds from condominium sales will be used to pay down the Chase Park Plaza Hotel loan until certain covenants are met.
On September 1, 2011, we signed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of Crossroads. On September 30, 2011, the lender agreed to accept the net proceeds of $26.1 million as full payment of the outstanding debt of $26.7 million. On October 4, 2011, the property was sold to an unaffiliated third party. The net proceeds from the sale of Crossroads were paid to the lender in full satisfaction of the outstanding debt.
As discussed in more detail in “Strategic Asset Sales” above, there can be no assurance that future dispositions will occur or that, if they occur, they will help us to achieve our objectives. In addition, we may seek to raise capital by contributing one or more of our existing assets to a joint venture with a third party. Investments in joint ventures may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present when a third party is not involved. Our ability to successfully identify, negotiate, and complete joint venture transactions on acceptable terms or at all is highly uncertain in the current economic environment. Asset sales also may be required under terms that are less advantageous than we could achieve with a longer holding period.
Debt Financings
One of our principal short-term and long-term liquidity requirements includes the repayment of maturing debt, including borrowings under our senior secured credit facility discussed below. The following table provides information with respect to the contractual maturities and scheduled principal repayments of our indebtedness as of September 30, 2011. The table does not represent any extension options ($ in thousands).

(1) | On October 4, 2011, Crossroads was sold to an unaffiliated third party. The proceeds of the sale were paid to the lender in full satisfaction of the outstanding debt. |
(2) | We are currently working with a new lender to replace the existing loan. On November 15, 2011, we anticipate that we will pay off the existing loan balance of the Chase Park Plaza Hotel loan and replace the existing debt with new debt. |
With respect to our debt due in the next twelve months, we are working with our lenders to either extend the maturity dates of the loans or refinance the loans under different terms. We are currently working with a new lender to replace the existing Chase Park Plaza Hotel loan. On or before November 15, 2011, we anticipate that we will pay off the existing loan balance of the Chase Park Plaza Hotel loan and replace the existing debt with new debt, however, there is no guarantee that these events will occur.
We currently expect to use funds generated by our operating properties, additional borrowings, and proceeds from the disposition of properties to continue making our scheduled debt service payments until the maturity dates of the loans are extended, the loans are refinanced, or the outstanding balance of the loans are completely paid off. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to refinance our borrowings with more or less favorable terms or extend the maturity dates of such loans. In addition, the continued economic downturn and lack of available credit to buyers could delay or inhibit our ability to dispose of our properties in an orderly manner, or cause us to have to dispose of our properties for a lower than anticipated return. To the extent we are unable to reach agreeable terms with respect to extensions or refinancings, we may not have the cash necessary to repay our debt as it matures, which could result in an event of default that could allow lenders to foreclose on the property in satisfaction of the debt, seek repayment of the full amount of the debt outstanding from us or pursue other remedies. Each of our loans is secured by one or more of our properties. At September 30, 2011, our notes payable interest rates ranged from 1.7% to 15%, with a weighted average interest rate of 4%. Generally, our notes payable mature at approximately two to ten years from origination and require payments of interest only for approximately two to five years, with all principal and interest due at maturity. Notes payable associated with our Northborough Tower and Frisco Square investments require monthly payments of both principal and interest. The Chase Park Plaza Hotel loan requires quarterly principal payments of $375,000. At September 30, 2011, our notes payable had maturity dates that ranged from November 2011 to October 2016.
Although commercial real estate debt markets remain restricted, lending volume has increased year-over-year and secondary market debt is once again available for certain asset classes on a limited basis. While many lenders continue to demand higher credit spreads, interest rates remain at historically low levels and debt is generally more available than in 2009.
As the overall cost of borrowing increases, either by increases in the index rates or by increases in lender spreads, we will need to factor such increases into the economics of our developments and property investments. This may result in our investment operations generating lower overall economic returns and a reduced level of cash flow. In addition, the recent dislocations in the debt markets have reduced the amount of capital that is available to finance real estate, which, in turn: (i) leads to a decline in real estate values generally; (ii) slows real estate transaction activity; (iii) reduces the loan to value upon which lenders are willing to extend debt; and (iv) results in difficulty in refinancing debt as it becomes due. Any of these events may have a material adverse impact on the value of real estate investments and the revenues, income or cash flow from the acquisition and operation of real properties and mortgage loans. In addition, the current state of the capital markets may continue to negatively impact our ability to raise additional equity should we decide to bring in partners on our development properties.
Market Outlook
At the beginning of the third quarter of 2011, the U.S. economy was weighed down with concerns over the U.S. debt ceiling and financial conditions in the European Union. While these issues still remain unresolved and many economists are still split on whether the U.S. is headed for a double-dip recession, key economic fundamentals and analysts are now pointing to less of a risk of a 2008 level recession, and more towards a longer period of moderate, uneven growth. During the third quarter, GDP growth was reported at 2.5%, with slight declines in unemployment benefits and slight increases in consumer spending and equipment and software expenditures, which while far less than levels needed for a full recovery, were positive and not declining. Further, reports that the European Union was close to a solution to recapitalize European banks indicated more optimism that a severe world-wide recession would be averted.
As an owner of office and industrial real estate properties, the majority of our income and cash flow is derived from rental revenue received pursuant to tenant leases for space at our properties. Over the past several months there has been some improvement in fundamental benchmarks such as occupancy, rental rates and pricing. Continued improvement in these fundamentals is dependent upon sustained economic growth. Occupancy and rental rate stabilization will vary by market and property type.
The hospitality industry is beginning to see early signs of a recovering economy. Smith Travel Research indicates that the national overall occupancy rate for hospitality properties in the United States rose from 58.9% in the third quarter of 2010 to 66.5% in the third quarter of 2011. The national overall Average Daily Rate has also risen, from $97.89 in the third quarter of 2010 to $102.96 in the third quarter of 2011. This positive growth in the hospitality industry is expected to continue.
Although a slower U.S. economy may provide some resistance, primarily with respect to overall job growth, the favorable demand/supply fundamentals present in multifamily investments should still support reasonable growth. On the demand side, the demographics for the targeted multifamily renter, the age group from 20 to 34 years old, are still positive in the sector. This group is growing in size and while the other age segments have experienced employment declines, their aggregate employment has increased. Further, while this age group in previous economic cycles experienced increasing single family home ownership, higher credit standards for single family mortgages and more reluctance to commit to home ownership are currently leading to more rental demand. At the same time on the supply side, developments of new multifamily communities decreased substantially since 2008, such that supply has not been keeping up with demand. We believe that this demand will lead to increased development activity; however, since high quality multifamily developments can take 18 to 36 months to entitle, permit and construct, we believe there is, even in the most aggressive outlook, a continued window of limited supply. Accordingly, many analysts are still projecting continued multifamily rental growth, albeit at a slower pace. However, multifamily performance is highly correlated with job and income growth. While the factors noted above should position the multifamily sector to perform better in a slow growth environment, eventually the multifamily sector will need stronger employment to maintain rental growth.
Current interest rates and the availability of multifamily financing are also favorable factors in the multifamily sector. Five and ten year treasury rates have declined approximately 1% from their rates at December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011. Competition for multifamily financing, particularly high quality, stabilized communities such as ours, has also added to the favorable financing environment. In addition to government sponsored entities, insurance companies and commercial banks have been aggressive lenders in the multifamily sector. While there is a risk that a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating could reverse these trends, thus far this has not occurred and with the international support provided U.S. treasuries, both during and after the debt ceiling debate, and announcements that many treasury holders would not be required to sell their positions, it would seem to indicate a more limited disruption than originally discussed.
We have several projects in various stages of development including industrial, land and condominiums. We are continuing to evaluate performing any further substantive development activities on these projects for the near term. At Rio Salado, our 65-acre industrial land project in Phoenix, Arizona, we intend to finish the balance of the infrastructure work and begin to actively market sites for sale or development.
Results of Operations
As of September 30, 2011, we were invested in 20 assets including ten wholly-owned properties (including one asset held for sale), four properties consolidated through investments in joint ventures and a consolidated interest in a note receivable joint venture. During the third quarter of 2011, we purchased the remaining interest in the Rio Salado property, bringing our interest in the property to 100% from approximately 99%. In addition, we are the mezzanine lender for one multifamily property. We also have noncontrolling, unconsolidated ownership interests in three properties and one investment in a joint venture consisting of 22 properties that are accounted for using the equity method. Our investment properties are located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Missouri, Nevada, Texas, the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, London, England, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia.
As of September 30, 2010, we had invested in 22 assets including ten wholly owned properties and six consolidated properties through investments in joint ventures. In addition, we were the mezzanine lender for one multifamily property. We also had noncontrolling, unconsolidated ownership interests in four properties and one investment in a joint venture consisting of 22 properties that was accounted for using the equity method.
Three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to three months ended September 30, 2010 ($ in thousands)
Continuing Operations
Revenues. Our total revenues increased by $5.6 million to $17.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The change in revenues is primarily due to:
| · | increase in rental revenue of $0.9 million to $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010; and |
| · | an increase in condominium sales of $4.6 million to $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. We sold five condominium units at Chase – The Private Residences in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to one unit sold during the three months ended September 30, 2010. |
Cost of Condominium Sales. Cost of condominium sales, relating to the sale of condominium units at Chase – The Private Residences, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $5.4 million as compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. We closed on the sale of five condominium units at Chase – The Private Residences during the three months ended September 30, 2011. We closed on the sale of one condominium unit during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Interest Expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized $4.4 million in interest expense as compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is primarily related to the consolidation of the Tanglewood at Voss note payable, the increase in the note payable balance related to the Becket House property improvements and an increase in the cumulative weighted average interest rate for our notes payable from 3.4% as of September 30, 2010 to 4% as of September 30, 2011.
Impairment charge. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized impairment charges related to Rio Salado of $6.2 million, related to Frisco Square of $5.1 million and related to Regency Center of $1.5 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized impairment charges totaling $12.9 million related to The Private Residences – Chase Park Plaza, and to our 30.38% unconsolidated joint venture interest in Royal Island.
Discontinued Operations and Held for Sale
Gain (loss) from discontinued operations. In August 2010, we transferred ownership of Ferncroft Corporate Center to the lender associated with the property. On April 26, 2011 we completed the sale of 12600 Whitewater to an unaffiliated third party. On June 30, 2011 we completed the sale of 2603 Augusta to an unaffiliated third party. On September 30, 2011, our Crossroads property was classified as held for sale. On October 4, 2011, we completed the sale of Crossroads to an unaffiliated third party. We had no properties classified as held for sale at either September 30, 2010 or December 31, 2010.
Nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2010 ($ in thousands)
Continuing Operations
Revenues. Our total revenues decreased by $21.7 million to $43.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The change in revenues is primarily due to:
| · | decrease in condominium sales of $17.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We closed on the sale of 11 condominium units at Chase – The Private Residences at an average sales price of $0.8 million each during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We closed on the sale of 13 condominium units at an average sales price of $2 million each during the nine months ended September 30, 2010; and |
| · | no interest income from notes receivable was earned as of September 30, 2011 as compared to $6.4 million earned as of September 30, 2010. The interest income from notes receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is due to interest received from the Royal Island borrowers and interest earned on the Tanglewood at Voss mezzanine loan. |
Cost of Condominium Sales. Cost of condominium sales, relating to the sale of condominium units at Chase – The Private Residences, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $8.4 million as compared to $26.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We closed on the sale of 11 condominium units at an average sales price of $0.8 million each at Chase – The Private Residences during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We closed on the sale of 13 condominium units at an average sales price of $2 million each during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Condominium inventory impairment. We recognized a non-cash charge of $1.9 million to reduce the carrying value of condominiums at Chase-The Private Residences and a $4 million non-cash charge related to our condominium development at Cordillera during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, due largely to the nationwide downturn in the housing and related condominium market that began during 2007 and has continued through 2011. This downturn has resulted in lower than expected sales volume and reduced selling prices. There were no impairment charges related to our condominium inventory for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Impairment charge. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized impairment charges related Rio Salado of $6.2 million, related to Frisco Square of $5.1 million and related to Regency Center of $1.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized impairment charges totaling $12.9 million related to The Private Residences – Chase Park Plaza, and to our 30.38% unconsolidated joint venture interest in Royal Island.
Provision for loan losses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded a $5.3 million provision for loan losses related to our Royal Island note receivable to record the note receivable balance the underlying collateral value. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a $7.1 million provision for loan losses to reflect our current estimate of potential loan loss related to the Alexan Black Mountain mezzanine loan.
Equity in losses of unconsolidated joint ventures: Our equity in losses of unconsolidated joint ventures increased by $33.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to the impairment of the Royal Island assets.
Discontinued Operations and Held for Sale
Gain (loss) from discontinued operations. In August 2010, we transferred ownership of Ferncroft Corporate Center to the lender associated with the property. On April 26, 2011 we completed the sale of 12600 Whitewater to an unaffiliated third party. On June 30, 2011 we completed the sale of 2603 Augusta to an unaffiliated third party. On September 30, 2011, our Crossroads property was classified as held for sale. On October 4, 2011, we completed the sale of Crossroads to an unaffiliated third party. We had no properties classified as held for sale at either September 30, 2010 or December 31, 2010.

Funds from Operations
Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We use FFO, defined as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures, subsidiaries, and noncontrolling interests, as one measure to evaluate our operating performance.
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. As a result, our management believes that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance.
We believe that FFO is helpful to investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared year to year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which is not immediately apparent from net income.
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), as an indication of our liquidity, or as an indication of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions, and should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

Cash flows generated from FFO may be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO, such as capital expenditures and payments of principal on debt, each of which may impact the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
Distributions
Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on its analysis of our performance over the previous period, expectations of performance for future periods, including actual and anticipated operating cash flow, changes in market capitalization rates for investments suitable for our portfolio, capital expenditure needs, general financial condition and other factors that our board deems relevant. The board’s decision will be influenced, in substantial part, by its obligation to ensure that we maintain our status as a REIT. In connection with entering our disposition phase, on March 28, 2011, our board of directors discontinued regular quarterly distributions in favor of those that may arise from proceeds available to be distributed from our asset sales.
Distributions paid to stockholders have been funded through various sources, including cash flow from operating activities, proceeds raised as part of our initial public offering, reinvestment through our distribution reinvestment plan and/or additional borrowings. The following summarizes certain information related to the sources of recent distributions ($ in thousands):

Distributions were determined and paid in arrears rather than in advance of the period to which they applied. On March 28, 2011, the board of directors terminated our distribution reinvestment plan and discontinued regular quarterly distributions in favor cash distributions that may arise from proceeds available to be distributed from the sale of assets. Therefore, we do not expect to issue any additional shares under the distribution reinvestment plan. On May 25, 2011, we filed the S-3 Amendment to deregister 2,941,591 unsold shares of common stock being offered pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. By filing the S-3 Amendment, we terminated the offering of shares under the registration statement.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these estimates, including investment impairment, on a regular basis. These estimates will be based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that we consider will be critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which we have control. All inter-company transactions, balances, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. Interests in entities acquired will be evaluated based on applicable GAAP, which includes the requirement to consolidate entities deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which we are the primary beneficiary. If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entity will be evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which we have control and/or substantive participating rights under the respective ownership agreement.
There are judgments and estimates involved in determining if an entity in which we have made an investment is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. The entity is evaluated to determine if it is a VIE by, among other things, calculating the percentage of equity being risked compared to the total equity of the entity. Determining expected future losses involves assumptions of various possibilities of the results of future operations of the entity, assigning a probability to each possibility and using a discount rate to determine the net present value of those future losses. A change in the judgments, assumptions, and estimates outlined above could result in consolidating an entity that should not be consolidated or accounting for an investment using the equity method that should in fact be consolidated, the effects of which could be material to our financial statements.
Real Estate
Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, we recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date, measured at their fair values. The acquisition date is the date on which we obtain control of the real estate property. These assets acquired and liabilities assumed may consist of buildings, any assumed debt, identified intangible assets and asset retirement obligations. Identified intangible assets generally consist of the above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements and tenant relationships. Goodwill is recognized as of the acquisition date and measured as the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Likewise, a bargain purchase gain is recognized in current earnings when the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period incurred.
Initial valuations are subject to change until our information is finalized, which is no later than twelve months from the acquisition date.
The fair value of any tangible assets acquired, expected to consist of land, land improvements, buildings, building improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment, is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to the tangible assets. Land values are derived from appraisals, and building and land improvement values are calculated as replacement cost less depreciation or management’s estimates of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment values are determined based on current reproduction or replacement cost less depreciation and other estimated allowances based on physical, functional, or economic factors. The value of buildings is depreciated over the estimated useful lives ranging from 25 years for commercial office property to 39 years for hotel/mixed-use property using the straight-line method. Land improvements are depreciated over the estimated useful life of 15 years, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from five to seven years using the straight-line method.
We determine the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to (a) the remaining noncancelable lease term for above-market leases, or (b) the remaining noncancelable lease term plus any fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. We record the fair value of above-market and below-market leases as intangible assets or intangible liabilities, respectively, and amortize them as an adjustment to rental income over the determined lease term.
The total value of identified real estate intangible assets that we may acquire in the future is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant. The aggregate value of in-place leases acquired and tenant relationships is determined by applying a fair value model. The estimates of fair value of in-place leases include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods for the respective spaces, considering current market conditions. In estimating fair value of in-place leases, we consider items such as real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, as well as lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up period and carrying costs that would have otherwise been incurred had the leases not been in place, including tenant improvements and commissions. The estimates of the fair value of tenant relationships also include costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, legal costs and tenant improvements, as well as an estimate of the likelihood of renewal as determined by management on a tenant-by-tenant basis.
We amortize the value of in-place leases acquired in the future to expense over the term of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any anticipated renewal periods, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and tenant relationship intangibles would be charged to expense.
Other intangible assets include the value of identified hotel trade names and in-place property tax abatements. These fair values are based on management’s estimates of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods. The value of the trade names is amortized over its respective estimated useful life of 20 years using the straight-line method and the value of the in-place property tax abatement is amortized over its estimated term of 10 years using the straight-line method.
We determine the fair value of assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled mortgage payments using interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities that management believes we could obtain. Any difference between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt is recorded as a discount or premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan.
Investment Impairments
For all of our real estate and real estate related investments, we monitor events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable. Examples of the types of events and circumstances that would cause management to assess our assets for potential impairment include, but are not limited to: a significant decrease in the market price of an asset; a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset is being used; an accumulation of costs in excess of the acquisition basis plus construction of the property; major vacancies and the resulting loss of revenues; natural disasters; a change in the projected holding period; legitimate purchase offers and changes in the global and local markets or economic conditions. Our assets may at times be concentrated in limited geographic locations and, to the extent that our portfolio is concentrated in limited geographic locations, downturns specifically related to such regions may result in tenants defaulting on their lease obligations at a portion of our properties within a short time period, which may result in asset impairments. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset and from its eventual disposition to the carrying amount of the asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value. We consider projected future undiscounted cash flows, trends, strategic decisions regarding future development plans, and other factors in our assessment of whether impairment conditions exist. While we believe our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding factors such as market rents, economic conditions, and occupancy rates could significantly affect these estimates.
We also evaluate our investments in notes receivable as of each reporting date. If we believe that it is probable we will not collect all principal and interest in accordance with the terms of the notes, we consider the loan impaired. When evaluating loans for potential impairment, we compare the carrying amount of the loans to the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or, if a loan is collateral dependent, to the estimated fair value of the related collateral net of any senior loans. For impaired loans, a provision is made for loan losses to adjust the reserve for loan losses. The reserve for loan losses is a valuation allowance that reflects our current estimate of loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The reserve is adjusted through the provision for loan losses account on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
In evaluating our investments for impairment, management may use appraisals and make estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition of the properties, the estimated future cash flows of the properties during our ownership, planned development and the projected sales price of each of the properties. A future change in these estimates and assumptions could result in understating or overstating the book value of our investments, which could be material to our financial statements.
Through the third quarter of 2011, we evaluated certain real estate properties for impairment as a result of changes in expected holding periods. Accordingly, we recognized impairment charges of $6.2 million related to Rio Salado, $5.1 million related to Frisco Square and $1.5 million related to Regency Center. We also recognized an impairment charge of $3.6 million related to 2603 Augusta in the first quarter of 2011, which is included in discontinued operations. 2603 Augusta was sold to an unaffiliated third party on June 30, 2011.
On September 14, 2010, we entered into a forbearance agreement with the Royal Island borrower pursuant to which, among other things, the borrower agreed not to contest or oppose any foreclosure, exercise of power of sale, or similar action that we may seek in order to protect our investment once the agreement expired. Further, the borrower agreed to fully cooperate to expedite the proceedings should we take such a course of action. The forbearance agreement gave the general partner and other interested parties time to raise additional equity for development of the Royal Island property. The forbearance period expired on May 27, 2011 with no additional development equity raised. Consequently, there is a change in the timing of the intended use of the investment. Based upon a third party appraisal of the collateral obtained after the expiration of the forbearance agreement, there is a decline in the fair market value of the property. As a result, an impairment was recorded on Royal Island’s books. Our portion of the impairment is $31.1 million which was recorded through equity in losses of unconsolidated joint ventures. This reduced our investment basis in Royal Island to zero as of June 30, 2011. Additionally, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according the terms of the loan agreements. We believe the only source available to repay the loan is the underlying collateral. Based upon our evaluation of the current fair value of the Royal Island development, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $5.3 million to reduce our note receivable balance to the underlying collateral value.
In the first quarter of 2010, we recorded a reserve for loan losses of $11.1 million related to our mezzanine loan associated with Alexan Black Mountain, including $7.1 million recognized as a provision to loan losses on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and the remaining $4 million as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated distributions and net loss in our condensed consolidated statement of equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
The value of our properties held for development depends on market conditions, including estimates of the project start date, as well as estimates of future demand for the property type under development. We have analyzed trends and other information related to each potential development and incorporated this information, as well as our current outlook, into the assumptions we use in our impairment analyses. Due to the judgment and assumptions applied in the estimation process with respect to impairments, including the fact that limited market information regarding the value of comparable land exists at this time, it is possible actual results could differ substantially from those estimated.
We believe the carrying value of our operating real estate assets, properties under development, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and notes receivable is currently recoverable. However, if market conditions worsen beyond our current expectations, or if our assumptions regarding expected future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of our assets decrease or our expected hold periods decrease, or if changes in our development strategy significantly affect any key assumptions used in our fair value calculations, we may need to take additional charges in future periods for impairments related to existing assets. Any such non-cash charges would have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Condominium Inventory
Condominium inventory is stated at the lower of cost or fair market value. In addition to land acquisition costs, land development costs, and construction costs, costs include interest and real estate taxes, which are capitalized during the period beginning with the commencement of development and ending with the completion of construction.
For condominium inventory, at each reporting date, management compares the estimated fair value less costs to sell to the carrying value. An adjustment is recorded to the extent that the fair value less costs to sell is less than the carrying value. We determine the estimated fair value of condominiums based on comparable sales in the normal course of business under existing and anticipated market conditions. This evaluation takes into consideration estimated future selling prices, costs incurred to date, estimated additional future costs, and management’s plans for the property.
The nationwide downturn in the housing and related condominium market that began during 2007 and has continued through the third quarter of 2011 has resulted in lower than expected sales volume and reduced selling prices. As a result of our evaluations, we recognized a non-cash charge of $1.9 million to reduce the carrying value of condominiums at Chase-The Private Residences and a $4 million non-cash charge to reduce the carrying value of condominium development at Cordillera during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Both of these non-cash charges are classified as condominium inventory impairment charges in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. We recognized a non-cash charge of $4.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to reduce the carrying value of the condominiums at Chase-The Private Residences. In the event that market conditions continue to decline in the future or the current difficult market conditions extend beyond our expectations, additional adjustments may be necessary.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We may be exposed to interest rate changes, primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties and make loans and other permitted investments. Our management’s objectives, with regard to interest rate risks, are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We may enter into derivative financial instruments such as options, forwards, interest rate swaps, caps, or floors to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to effectively lock the interest rate portion of our variable rate debt. Of our $303.7 million in notes payable at September 30, 2011, $272.6 million represented debt subject to variable interest rates. If our variable interest rates increased 100 basis points, we estimate that total annual interest cost, including interest expensed, interest capitalized, and the effects of the interest rate caps and swaps, would increase by approximately $0.6 million.
At September 30, 2011, interest rate caps classified as assets were reported at their combined fair value of less than $0.1 million within prepaid expenses and other assets. A 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in a $0.1 million net decrease in the fair value of our interest rate caps and swaps. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a less than $0.1 million net increase in the fair value of our interest rate caps and swaps.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of September 30, 2011, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Unregistered Sales of Common Stock
During the period covered by this quarterly report, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Share Redemption Program
In February 2006, our board of directors authorized a share redemption program for stockholders who held their shares for more than one year. Under the program, our board reserved the right in its sole discretion at any time, and from time to time, to (1) waive the one-year holding period in the event of the death, disability or bankruptcy of a stockholder or other exigent circumstances, (2) reject any request for redemption, (3) change the purchase price for redemptions, or (4) terminate, suspend or amend the share redemption program.
On March 30, 2009, our board of directors adopted an amended and restated share redemption program and voted to accept all redemption requests submitted during the first quarter of 2009 from stockholders whose requests were made on circumstances of death, disability or confinement to a long-term care facility (referred to herein as “Exceptional Redemptions”). However, the board determined to not accept and to suspend until further notice redemptions other than Exceptional Redemptions, which are referred to as “Ordinary Redemptions”.
On January 10, 2011, as is customary for REITs entering the disposition phase and in accordance with the Company’s third amended and restated share redemption program, the board suspended the redemption program with respect to all redemption requests until further notice. Therefore, we did not redeem any shares of our common stock during the period covered by this report.
Any redemption requests submitted while the program is suspended will be returned to investors and must be resubmitted upon resumption of the share redemption program. If the share redemption program is resumed, we will give all stockholders notice that we are resuming redemptions, so that all stockholders will have an equal opportunity to submit shares for redemption. Upon resumption of the program, any redemption requests will be honored pro rata among all requests received based on funds available. Requests will not be honored on a first come, first served basis.
