CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2008

KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on June 13, 2005, as a Maryland corporation that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year that ended December 31, 2006. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and the Company conducts substantially all of its operations through, KBS Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and its subsidiaries. The Company is the sole general partner of and directly owns a 99% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, KBS REIT Holdings LLC (“KBS REIT Holdings”), owns the remaining 1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and is its sole limited partner.
The Company invests in a diverse portfolio of real estate assets. The primary types of properties the Company invests in include office, industrial, and retail properties located throughout the United States. All such real estate assets may be acquired directly by the Company or the Operating Partnership, though the Company may invest in other entities that make similar investments. The Company also invests in mezzanine loans, mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities and intends to make investments in other real estate-related assets, including other structured finance investments. As of September 30, 2008, the Company owned 62 real estate properties, one master lease, 21 real estate loans receivable, and two investments in securities directly or indirectly backed by commercial mortgage loans. The 62 real estate properties total approximately 20.4 million square feet, including properties held through a consolidated joint venture. The real estate portfolio includes 20 office properties, one light industrial property, three corporate research properties, two distribution facilities, one industrial portfolio consisting of nine distribution and office/warehouse properties, one office/flex portfolio consisting of four properties and an 80% membership interest in a joint venture that owns a portfolio of 23 institutional quality industrial properties and holds a master lease with a remaining term of 14.5 years with respect to another industrial property. In addition, the Company owns seven mezzanine real estate loans, two B-Notes, a partial ownership interest in three mezzanine real estate loans, a partial ownership interest in a senior mortgage loan, two loans representing senior subordinated debt of a private REIT and two first mortgage loans. The Company has also originated three secured loans and one mezzanine loan and holds two investments in securities directly or indirectly backed by commercial mortgage loans. See Note 3, “Recent Acquisitions of Real Estate,” Note 4, “Real Estate,” Note 5, “Tenant Origination and Absorption Costs, Above-Market Lease Assets and Below-Market Lease Liabilities,” Note 6 “Real Estate Loans Receivable,” and Note 7, “Marketable Real Estate Securities.”
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is managed by KBS Capital Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an advisory agreement with the Company (the “Advisory Agreement”) in effect through November 8, 2009. The Advisory Agreement may be renewed for an unlimited number of one-year periods upon the mutual consent of the Advisor and the Company. Either party may terminate the Advisory Agreement upon 60 days written notice. The Advisor owns 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
On June 23, 2005, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to offer a maximum of 280,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public (the “Offering”), of which 200,000,000 shares were registered in the Company’s primary offering and 80,000,000 shares were registered under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. The SEC declared the Company’s registration statement effective on January 13, 2006, and the Company launched the Offering on January 27, 2006, upon retaining KBS Capital Markets Group LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Advisor, to serve as the dealer manager of the Offering. From commencement of the Offering through September 30, 2008, the Company had sold 176,767,285 shares of common stock in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.76 billion, including shares issued through the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had redeemed 687,564 of the shares sold in the Offering pursuant to its share redemption program for $6.6 million. The Company ceased offering shares of common stock in its primary offering on May 30, 2008. The Company continues to issue shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, KBS REIT Holdings, the Operating Partnership, their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures the Company controls or for which it is the primary beneficiary, as well as the related amounts of minority interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company evaluates the need to consolidate joint ventures based on standards set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Financial Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46R,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities(“FIN 46R”), and Statement of Position 78-9,Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures (“SOP 78-9”), as amended by Emerging Issues Task Force No. 04-5,Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. In accordance with these accounting standards, the Company consolidates joint ventures that it determines to be variable interest entities for which it is the primary beneficiary. The Company also consolidates joint ventures that are not determined to be variable interest entities, but for which it exercises control over major operating decisions through substantive participation rights, such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset management, investment activity and changes in financing.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted; however, management believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to fairly present the results for those periods in accordance with GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. On the consolidated balance sheets, lease commissions have been reclassified from “Building and improvements” to “Deferred financing costs, prepaid expenses and other assets.” On the consolidated statements of operations, “Interest income from marketable real estate securities” has been reclassified from “Interest income” and “Provision for income taxes” has been reclassified from “General and administrative expenses.”

Real Estate
Depreciation and Amortization
Real estate costs related to the acquisition and improvement of properties are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred and significant replacements and betterments are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate asset. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. Expenditures for tenant improvements and construction allowances related to tenant’s space are capitalized and amortized over the term of the tenant’s lease. The Company anticipates the estimated useful lives of its assets by class to be generally as follows:
| | |
Buildings | | 25-40 years |
Building improvements | | 10-25 years |
Tenant improvements | | Shorter of lease term or expected useful life |
Tenant origination and absorption costs | | Remaining term of related lease |
Real Estate Purchase Price Allocation
Real estate, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, is recorded at cost. The Company allocates the cost of an acquisition to the acquired tangible assets and identifiable intangibles based on their estimated fair values in accordance with standards set forth in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141,Business Combinations(“SFAS 141”).
The Company records above-market and below-market in-place lease values 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 fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The Company amortizes any recorded above-market or below-market lease values as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective lease. Upon termination of a lease, the unamortized portion of the above-market or below-market lease intangible associated with the vacating tenant’s lease would be charged to rental income in that period.
The Company measures the aggregate value of other intangible assets acquired based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if vacant. The value of these intangible assets is classified as tenant origination and absorption costs and is amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The Company includes the amortization of tenant origination and absorption costs as depreciation and amortization expense in the consolidated statement of operations. Management’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Factors considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.
The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management also includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses, to the extent that such costs have not already been incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.

The total amount of other intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship intangible values, if any, based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.
The Company amortizes the value of in-place leases to expense over the initial term of the respective leases. The value of customer relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event will the amortization periods for the intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Upon termination of a lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles associated with the vacating tenant’s lease would be charged to expense in that period.
Impairment of Real Estate and Related Intangible Assets and Liabilities
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying value of real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable, the Company assesses the recoverability by estimating whether the Company will recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities through its undiscounted future cash flows and its eventual disposition. If, based on this analysis, the Company believes that it will not be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, the Company would record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities as defined by SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. There were no impairment losses related to real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities recorded by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
Real Estate Loans Receivable
The real estate loans receivable are recorded at cost and reviewed for potential impairment at each balance sheet date under SFAS No. 114,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15 (“SFAS 114”), and SFAS No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies (“SFAS 5”). Under SFAS 114, a loan receivable is considered impaired when it becomes probable, based on current information, that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loan’s contractual terms. The Company’s determination of impairment considers, among other things, delinquency trends, prior loan loss experience and management’s judgment and assumptions regarding various matters, including general economic conditions and loan portfolio composition. The amount of impairment loss, if any, would be measured by comparing the recorded amount of the loan receivable to the present value of the expected cash flows or the fair value of the collateral. If a loan was deemed to be impaired, the Company would record a reserve for loan losses through a charge to income for any shortfall. There were no impairment losses on real estate loans receivable recorded by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. However, in the future, especially given the current market disruption, it may become probable that the Company will experience a loss from its investments in loans receivable requiring loan loss reserves to be recorded. Realized losses on individual loans could be material and significantly exceed any recorded reserves.

Marketable Real Estate Securities
In accordance with the standards set forth in SFAS No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the Company classifies its investments in marketable real estate securities as available-for-sale since the Company may sell them prior to their maturity but does not hold them principally for the purpose of making frequent investments and sales with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price. These investments are carried at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices, when available, or on estimates provided by independent pricing sources or dealers who make markets in such securities. Upon the sale of a security, the realized net gain or loss is computed on a specific identification basis.
The Company monitors its available-for-sale securities for impairments. A loss is recognized when the Company determines that a decline in the estimated fair value of a security below its amortized cost is other-than-temporary. The Company considers many factors in determining whether the impairment of a security is deemed to be other-than-temporary, including, but not limited to, the length of time the security has had a decline in estimated fair value below its amortized cost, the amount of the unrealized loss, the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value, recent events specific to the issuer or industry, external credit ratings and recent changes in such ratings.
Unamortized premiums and discounts on securities available-for-sale are recognized in interest income over the contractual life, adjusted for actual prepayments, of the securities using the effective interest method.
The Company accounts for its commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) that are rated below “AA” in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force 99-20,Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets(“EITF 99-20”).Under EITF 99-20, the Company reviews on a quarterly basis, the projected future cash flows of CMBS investments for changes in assumptions due to prepayments, credit loss experience and other factors. If based on the Company’s quarterly estimate of cash flows that a market participant would use to determine the current fair value of the security, there has been an adverse change in the estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously estimated and the present value of the revised cash flow is less than the present value previously estimated, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred. When a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the security is written down to its fair value (with the reduction in fair value recorded as a charge to earnings) and a new cost basis is established. The Company calculates a revised yield based on the new cost basis of the investment and estimated future cash flows expected to be realized (including any other-than-temporary impairments recognized to date), which is applied prospectively to recognize interest income. If there have been no adverse changes to the Company’s assumptions and the change in value is solely due to interest rate changes and market illiquidity, the Company does not recognize an impairment of its CMBS investments in its consolidated statements of operations. It is difficult to predict the timing or magnitude of these other-than-temporary impairments and significant judgments, including, but not limited to, assumptions regarding estimated prepayments, loss assumptions, and assumptions with respect to changes in interest rates, are required in determining impairment. As a result, actual impairment losses could materially differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term (with an original maturity of three months or less), highly-liquid investments utilized as part of the Company’s cash-management activities to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may include cash and short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance exceeds federally insurable limits as of September 30, 2008. The Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the cash balances as appropriate; however, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts. The Company has a corporate banking relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in which it deposits approximately 98% of its funds.

Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists primarily of the following (in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | September 30, 2008 | | December 31, 2007 |
Capital expenditure reserve accounts required by mortgage loans(1) | | $ | 1,157 | | $ | 1,983 |
Operational expenditure reserve accounts required by mortgage loans(1) | | | 2,872 | | | 3,591 |
Separate cash accounts related to security deposits as required by certain lease agreements | | | 2,000 | | | 2,000 |
| | | | | | |
Total restricted cash | | $ | 6,029 | | $ | 7,574 |
| | | | | | |
(1) The terms of several of the Company’s mortgage loans payable require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such restricted cash is generally available only for property-level requirements for which the reserve was established and is not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations.
Rents and Other Receivables
The Company periodically evaluates the collectibility of amounts due from tenants and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under lease agreements. In addition, the Company maintains an allowance for deferred rent receivable that arises from the straight-lining of rents. The Company exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status of its tenants in developing these estimates.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees and other third party costs associated with obtaining financing. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financings that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.
Redeemable Common Stock
The Company has adopted a share redemption program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in limited circumstances.
There are several limitations on the Company’s ability to redeem shares under the share redemption program:
| • | | Unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death or “qualifying disability” (as defined under the share redemption program), the Company may not redeem shares until they have been outstanding for one year. |
| • | | The share redemption program limits the number of shares the Company may redeem to those that the Company could purchase with the net proceeds from the issuance of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year. |
| • | | During any calendar year, the Company may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. |
| • | | The Company has no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. |

As the use of the proceeds from the dividend reinvestment plan for redemptions is outside the Company’s control, they are considered to be temporary equity under Accounting Series Release No. 268,Presentation in Financial Statements of Redeemable Preferred Stock, and are, therefore, presented as redeemable common stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity(“SFAS 150”), which requires, among other things, that financial instruments that represent a mandatory obligation of the Company to repurchase shares be classified as liabilities and reported at settlement value. The Company’s redeemable common shares are contingently redeemable at the option of the holder. As such, SFAS 150 is not applicable until such shares are tendered for redemption by the holder, at which time the Company will reclassify such obligations from temporary equity to a liability based upon their respective settlement values.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company redeemed shares pursuant to its share redemption program as follows:
| | | | | | |
Month | | Total Number of Shares Redeemed (1) | | Average Price Paid Per Share (2) | | Approximate Dollar Value of Shares Available That May Yet Be Redeemed Under the Program |
January 2008 | | 101,024 | | $9.85 | | (3) |
February 2008 | | 21,619 | | $9.55 | | (3) |
March 2008 | | 17,146 | | $9.54 | | (3) |
April 2008 | | 115,642 | | $9.81 | | (3) |
May 2008 | | 34,183 | | $9.48 | | (3) |
June 2008 | | 67,445 | | $9.60 | | (3) |
July 2008 | | 69,183 | | $9.42 | | (3) |
August 2008 | | 71,275 | | $9.53 | | (3) |
September 2008 | | 94,787 | | $9.34 | | (3) |
| | | | | | |
Total | | 592,304 | | | | |
| | | | | | |
(1) The Company announced commencement of the share redemption program on April 6, 2006 and amendments to the program on August 16, 2006 (which amendment became effective on December 14, 2006), August 1, 2007 (which amendment became effective on September 13, 2007) and August 14, 2008 (which amendment became effective on September 13, 2008).
(2) Pursuant to the program, as amended, the Company currently redeems shares as follows:
| • | | The lower of $9.25 or 92.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares from the Company for stockholders who have held their shares for at least one year; |
| • | | The lower of $9.50 or 95.0% of the price paid to acquire the shares from the Company for stockholders who have held their shares for at least two years; |
| • | | The lower of $9.75 or 97.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares from the Company for stockholders who have held their shares for at least three years; and |
| • | | The lower of $10.00 or 100% of the price paid to acquire the shares from the Company for stockholders who have held their shares for at least four years. |
| • | | Notwithstanding the above, upon the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder, the redemption price would be the amount paid to acquire the shares from the Company. |
Once the Company establishes an estimated value per share of common stock, the redemption price per share for all stockholders will be equal to the estimated value per share, as determined by the Advisor or another firm chosen for that purpose. The Company expects to establish an estimated value per share beginning three years after the completion of its offering stage. The Company will consider its offering stage complete when it is no longer publicly offering equity securities and has not done so for one year. Until the Company establishes an estimated value per share, the redemption price for shares being redeemed upon a stockholder’s death or qualifying disability will be the amount paid to acquire the shares from the Company.
(3) The Company limits the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the program as described above.

Organization, Offering, and Related Costs
Organization and offering costs (other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees) of the Company were paid in part by the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates on behalf of the Company, and the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates may continue to pay some of these costs of the dividend reinvestment plan offering on behalf of the Company. Other offering costs include all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Offering, including but not limited to (i) legal, accounting, printing, mailing, and filing fees; (ii) charges of the escrow holder and expenses of the Advisor for administrative services related to the issuance of shares in the Offering; (iii) reimbursement of the Dealer Manager for amounts it may pay to reimburse the bona fide diligence expenses of broker-dealers; (iv) reimbursement to the Advisor for the salaries of its employees and other costs in connection with preparing supplemental sales materials; (v) the cost of educational conferences held by the Company (including the travel, meal, and lodging costs of registered representatives of broker-dealers); and (vi) reimbursement to the Dealer Manager for travel, meals, lodging and attendance fees incurred by employees of the Dealer Manager to attend retail seminars conducted by broker-dealers.
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company is obligated to reimburse the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs paid by them on behalf of the Company, provided that the Advisor is obligated to reimburse the Company to the extent selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs incurred by the Company in the Offering exceed 15% of gross offering proceeds. As a result, these costs are only a liability of the Company to the extent selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs incurred by the Company do not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. Through September 30, 2008, including shares issued through the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, the Company had issued 176,787,285 shares for gross offering proceeds of $1.76 billion and recorded selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $155.8 million and organization and other offering costs of $16.4 million. Organization costs are expensed as incurred, and offering costs, which include selling commissions and dealer manager fees, are charged as incurred as a reduction to stockholders’ equity.
The Company ceased offering shares in its primary offering of up to 200,000,000 shares on May 30, 2008. Subscriptions from nonqualified accounts had to be postmarked as of May 30, 2008. For investments by qualified accounts, subscription agreements must have been dated on or before May 30, 2008 with all documents and funds received by the Company by the end of business on September 1, 2008. The Company has now terminated the primary offering upon the completion of review of subscriptions submitted in accordance with its processing procedures. The Company continues to issue shares under its dividend reinvestment plan.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease, and amounts expected to be received in later years are recorded as deferred rent. The Company records property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.
The Company makes estimates of the collectibility of its tenant receivables related to base rents, including straight-line rentals, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, management makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectibility of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. These estimates have a direct impact on the Company’s net income because a higher bad debt reserve results in less net income.

The Company will recognize gains on sales of real estate pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 66,Accounting for Sales of Real Estate (“SFAS 66”). The specific timing of a sale will be measured against various criteria in SFAS 66 related to the terms of the transaction and any continuing involvement associated with the property. If the criteria for profit recognition under the full-accrual method are not met, the Company will defer gain recognition and account for the continued operations of the property by applying the percentage-of-completion, reduced profit, deposit, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, until the appropriate criteria are met.
Interest income from loans receivable, including any discounts and premiums, is recognized based on the contractual terms of the related debt instrument. Fees related to buydowns of interest rates are deferred as prepaid interest income and amortized over the term of the loans as an adjustment to interest income using the effective interest method. Closing costs and discounts received related to the purchase of loans receivable are amortized over the term of the loans and accreted as an adjustment against interest income using the effective interest method.
General and Administrative Expenses and Asset Management Fees
General and administrative expenses, totaling $1.4 million and $3.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, consisted primarily of legal, audit and other professional fees. In addition, asset management fees to affiliates totaled $4.1 million and $12.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. To the extent included in the definition of total operating expenses (as set forth in Note 15), general and administrative expenses, including asset management fees due to affiliates, are an operating expense of the Company that is subject to the operating expense reimbursement obligation of the Advisor (as discussed in Note 15). Pursuant to the operating expense reimbursement obligation, the Advisor will reimburse the Company at the end of any fiscal quarter for total operating expenses that in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended exceed the greater of 2% of its average invested assets or 25% of its net income, unless the conflicts committee of the Company’s board of directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. The Company’s total operating expenses were not in excess of the operating expense reimbursement obligation for the four trailing fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2008 or 2007.
Independent Director Compensation
The Company pays each of its independent directors an annual retainer of $25,000. In addition, the independent directors are paid for attending meetings as follows: (i) $2,500 for each board meeting attended, (ii) $2,000 for each committee meeting attended (except that the committee chairman is paid $3,000 for each meeting attended), (iii) $1,000 for each teleconference board meeting attended, and (iv) $1,000 for each teleconference committee meeting attended (except that the committee chairman is paid $3,000 for each teleconference committee meeting attended). All directors also receive reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the board of directors. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company incurred independent director fees of $79,247 and $191,240, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying financial statements. At September 30, 2008, $11,249 of independent director fees were payable and included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Director compensation is an operating expense of the Company that is subject to the operating expense reimbursement obligation of the Advisor discussed in Note 15.

Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To continue to qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income to stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that it distributes to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, the Company intends to organize and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.
The Company adopted FIN No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007. The Company’s policy is to classify interest related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of interest expense and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of general and administrative expenses. Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements, nor has the Company or its subsidiaries been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions. The Company’s evaluation was performed for the tax years ending December 31, 2006 and 2007. As of September 30, 2008, returns for the calendar years 2006 through 2007 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.
Changes to Federal Tax Laws Affecting REITs
The Housing and Economic Recovery Tax Act of 2008 (the “Housing Act”) was signed into law by President Bush on July 30, 2008. The Housing Act’s provisions regarding REITs are generally effective for the Company’s 2009 taxable year and beyond. The Housing Act made the following changes, among others, to certain REIT provisions of the Code:
| • | | Taxable REIT Subsidiaries. The maximum allowed value of taxable REIT subsidiaries’ securities (other than securities that are real estate assets) held by a REIT as a percentage of the total value of a REIT’s assets has been increased from 20% to 25%. |
| • | | Prohibited Transactions Safe Harbor. There is a safe harbor that, if available, can allow the Company to avoid the 100% prohibited transaction tax. This safe harbor specifies a holding period that has been reduced from four years to two years by the Housing Act. Certain other changes to the safe harbor are also made under the Housing Act. These new rules apply to sales made after the Housing Act was enacted. |
| • | | Hedging Income. Income from a hedging transaction that complies with identification procedures set out in Treasury regulations that hedges indebtedness incurred or to be incurred by the Company to acquire or carry real estate assets will not constitute gross income for purposes of both the 75% and 95% gross income tests. |
Per Share Data
Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock equals basic net income (loss) per share of common stock as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Distributions declared per common share assumes the share was issued and outstanding each day during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and is based on a daily distribution for the periods of $0.0019178 per share per day. Each day during the periods from January 1, 2007 through September 30, 2007 and January 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008 was a record date for distributions.

Industry Segments
SFAS No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for the way that public entities report information about operating segments in their financial statements. The Company acquires and operates commercial properties and invests in real estate-related assets, including real estate loans and marketable real estate securities, and as a result, the Company operates in two business segments. For financial data by segment, see Note 19, “Segment Information.”
Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company uses certain types of derivative instruments for the purpose of managing or hedging interest rate risks. The Company has entered into various interest rate cap, floor and swap agreements to hedge its exposure to changing interest rates on variable rate debt instruments, including certain of the Company’s real estate loans receivable and notes payable. The Company accounts for these derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (“SFAS 133”). The change in fair value of the effective portion of a derivative instrument that is designated as a hedge is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. The changes in fair value for derivative instruments that are not designated as a hedge or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria of SFAS 133 are recorded as gain or loss on derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Net amounts received or paid under the derivative instruments are recorded as adjustments to interest income or expense, respectively, based on the fair value and intrinsic value of the related derivative instrument.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS No. 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP SFAS 157-2”). FSP SFAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 by one year for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. FSP SFAS 157-2 is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 157 for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that FSP SFAS 157-2 will have on its financial statements.
In October 2008, FASB issued FSP No. 157-3,Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active(“FSP SFAS 157-3”). FSP SFAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 for financial assets in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP SFAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that FSP SFAS 157-3 will have on its financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has not elected to apply the fair value option to any specific assets or liabilities.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”), which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141R expands the definition of a business combination and requires the fair value of the purchase price of an acquisition, including the issuance of equity securities, to be determined on the acquisition date. SFAS 141R also requires that all assets, liabilities, contingent considerations, and contingencies of an acquired business be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. In addition, SFAS 141R requires that acquisition costs generally be expensed as incurred, restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period be recorded to income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 141R will have on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. In addition, SFAS 160 provides reporting requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 160 will have on its financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 140-3,Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions (“FSP 140-3”). FSP 140-3 provides guidance on the accounting for a purchase of a financial asset from a counterparty and contemporaneous financing of the acquisition through repurchase agreements with the same counterparty. Under this guidance, the purchase and related financing are linked, unless all of the following conditions are met at the inception of the transaction: (i) the purchase and corresponding financing are not contractually contingent; (ii) the repurchase financing provides recourse; (iii) the financial asset and repurchase financing are readily obtainable in the marketplace and are executed at market rates; and (iv) the maturity of financial asset and repurchase are not coterminous. A linked transaction would require an analysis under SFAS No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities(“SFAS 140”) to determine whether the transaction meets the requirements for sale accounting. If the linked transaction does not meet sale accounting requirements, the net investment in the linked transaction is to be recorded as a derivative with the corresponding change in fair value of the derivative being recorded through earnings. The value of the derivative would reflect changes in the value of the underlying debt investments and changes in the value of the underlying credit provided by the counterparty. The Company currently presents these transactions gross, with the acquisition of the financial assets in total assets and the related repurchase agreements as financings in total liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The interest income earned on the debt investments and interest expense incurred on the repurchase obligations are reported gross on the consolidated income statements. FSP 140-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this pronouncement will have on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early application is encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 161 will have on its financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles to be used in the preparation and presentation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. This statement will be effective 60 days after the SEC approves the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 162 will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Operating Leases
The Company’s real estate assets are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of September 30, 2008, the leases have remaining terms of up to 12 years and may have provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Amounts required as security deposits vary depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally are not significant amounts. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a tenant’s receivable exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits related to tenant leases are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
As of September 30, 2008, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under non-cancelable operating leases is as follows (in thousands):

| | | |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company earned approximately 10% of its rental income from 32 tenants in the financial services industry and approximately 7% of its rental income from 28 tenants in the insurance industry. Of its financial services tenants, E*Trade and Ford Motor Credit are the two largest tenants, collectively representing approximately 3.5% of the Company’s base rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2008, the portfolio was 95% leased with no significant exposure to leases with certain major financial institutions that have experienced substantial financial difficulty recently. Further, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company earned approximately 6% of its rental income from one tenant in the retail-home improvements industry. No material tenant credit issues have been identified at this time. The Company currently has approximately 450 tenants over a diverse range of industries and geographical regions.

Investment in the GKK Mezzanine Loan
On August 22, 2008, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, acquired a senior mezzanine loan with a face amount of $500,000,000 (the “GKK Mezzanine Loan”), which was used to fund a portion of Gramercy Capital Corp.’s (“Gramercy”) acquisition of American Financial Realty Trust (“AFR”) that closed on April 1, 2008. The purchase price of the GKK Mezzanine Loan was approximately $496.0 million plus closing costs. The Company’s acquisition was funded with the proceeds from the Offering and two separate repurchase agreements from Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (“Goldman”) and Citigroup Financial Products Inc. (“Citigroup”). Together, the two repurchase agreements encumber the Company’s entire ownership interest in the GKK Mezzanine Loan and financed $297.6 million of the Company’s cost of acquiring the GKK Mezzanine Loan. The repurchase agreement with Goldman is in the amount of $167.4 million and the repurchase agreement with Citigroup is in the amount of $130.2 million.
The borrowers under the GKK Mezzanine Loan are (i) the wholly owned subsidiary of Gramercy formed to own 100% of the equity interests in AFR (“AFR Owner”), (ii) AFR and (iii) certain subsidiaries of AFR that directly or indirectly own equity interests in the entities that own the AFR portfolio of properties (collectively, AFR Owner, AFR and these subsidiaries are the “Borrower”). As of September 30, 2008, AFR and its subsidiaries own over 900 office and bank branch properties located in 37 states and Washington, D.C. and partial ownership interests in 84 bank branch properties (a 99% interest in 52 properties and a 1% interest in 32 properties) occupied primarily by Citizens Bank.
The GKK Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a variable rate of one-month LIBOR plus 520 basis points. The GKK Mezzanine Loan has an initial maturity date of March 11, 2010 with a one-year option to extend subject to certain conditions. Prior to maturity, the Borrower under the GKK Mezzanine Loan is required to make interest-only payments to the Company (although certain cash flow relating to a portfolio of 15 properties comprised of 3.7 million square feet primarily leased to Bank of America (the “Dana Portfolio”) is required to be applied to pay down the GKK Mezzanine Loan), with the outstanding principal balance being due at maturity. The Borrower is also permitted to release certain properties subject to meeting specified conditions, including the payment of a release price to the Company.
The GKK Mezzanine Loan is secured by, among other things, a first lien priority pledge in 100% of the equity interests in AFR (the upper tier pledge) and various first lien priority pledges in the equity interests of certain of the entities that own the AFR portfolio and certain entities that own some or all of the equity interests in the property owning entities (the lower tier pledges). In certain cases, the lower tier pledge is of 100% of the equity interests of the applicable property owning entity and in other cases the pledge is less than 100% depending upon what type of pledges were permitted under the existing senior loans that were assumed at closing. Unlike a foreclosure under a deed of trust, the foreclosure of an equity interest entitles the foreclosing party (in this case, the Company’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary) to take title to an equity interest rather than taking title to the real property. Foreclosure on the equity interests in AFR would allow the Company to take direct control of AFR and indirect control of the AFR portfolio of properties, subject to the senior loans. With respect to certain material misrepresentations or other acts of bad faith as set forth in the guarantee agreement, amounts under the GKK Mezzanine Loan are guaranteed by Gramercy.
The GKK Mezzanine Loan is subordinate to secured senior loans (“senior loans”) in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.8 billion at September 30, 2008. Approximately $1.6 billion (face value) of the senior loans were assumed by Gramercy as part of its acquisition of AFR. The Company’s right to payment under the GKK Mezzanine Loan is subordinate to the right to payment of the senior lenders. As holder of the GKK Mezzanine Loan, the Company entered into intercreditor agreements with seven of the senior lenders. Each intercreditor agreement provides that in the event of a default under the GKK Mezzanine Loan, the Company would be entitled to foreclose on the pledged ownership interests subject to the satisfaction of customary transfer provisions set forth in the intercreditor agreement.

Below is summary financial information of the collateral securing the GKK Mezzanine Loan. For periods prior to Gramercy’s acquisition of AFR on April 1, 2008, AFR’s historical summary financial information is presented. For the periods subsequent to Gramercy’s acquisition of AFR, the summary consolidated financial information of the Borrower is presented. The Company is providing the consolidated financial information of the Borrower of the GKK Mezzanine Loan for the periods after April 1, 2008 because the only assets of the Borrower are ownership interests in AFR and subsidiaries of AFR and the GKK Mezzanine Loan is secured by pledges of 100% of the equity interests in AFR and 100% or less of the equity interests in certain subsidiaries of AFR. The consolidated financial information of the Borrower is not directly comparable to historical financial information of AFR due to closing adjustments associated with Gramercy’s acquisition of AFR.

Loan Origination – 55 East Monroe
On August 27, 2008, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, originated and fully funded a mezzanine loan in the amount of $55 million (the “55 East Monroe Mezzanine Loan”) on the office component of the 55 East Monroe building, a 49-story office and residential condominium building (the “55 East Monroe Office Building”). The 55 East Monroe Office Building contains 1,202,503 square feet of office space and is located in downtown Chicago, Illinois. The 55 East Monroe Mezzanine Loan matures on September 1, 2010, with three one-year extension options subject to certain conditions, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 12%. Neither the Company nor the Advisor is affiliated with the borrower under the 55 East Monroe Mezzanine Loan. The loan was funded with proceeds from the Offering.
Arden Portfolio Mezzanine Loans Update
On January 30, 2008, the Company purchased, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, participation interests in two mezzanine loans with an aggregate face amount of $175 million related to more than 30 office properties located throughout Southern California (the office properties are the “Arden Portfolio”). The borrowers under the loans are entities affiliated with Cabi Developers (“Cabi”). At full funding, there would be approximately $1.51 billion of mortgage and mezzanine financing related to the Arden Portfolio, including the loans acquired by the Company.
All of the Cabi borrowers are required to contribute a pro rata portion (equal to their percentage of the total loan amount) to pay a minimum amortization payment of $150 million to the Arden Portfolio lenders on a date that is two weeks after the payment date occurring in September 2008, and on or before each payment date occurring in August of each calendar year thereafter. The amount of the annual minimum amortization payment due for a particular year is adjusted downward to the extent that the principal amount outstanding under the mortgage and mezzanine loans is paid down from the sale of assets in the Arden Portfolio. The minimum amortization payment is to be allocated pro rata to the holders of the Arden Portfolio mortgage and mezzanine loans, using a formula based on the outstanding principal amount of each loan.

The Cabi borrowers have not made the first mandatory amortization payment due under these loans. The first mandatory amortization payment was due to the Arden Portfolio mortgage and mezzanine lenders by October 6, 2008, including the additional period of time in the loan documents for payment that essentially gave the borrowers from September 23, 2008 to October 6, 2008. Cabi continues to discuss alternatives with the lenders. Earlier in the year, the Cabi borrowers had sold two assets in the Arden Portfolio, and used the proceeds from such sales and a capital contribution, to reduce the principal outstanding under the Arden Portfolio mortgage and mezzanine loans by approximately $45.0 million, thereby reducing the amount due to all lenders pursuant to the first mandatory amortization payment for 2008 from $150.0 million to approximately $105.0 million. As of October 13, 2008, all of the lenders under the mortgage and mezzanine loans have received the interest payments due under the loans.
As of September 30, 2008, the total book value of the Arden Portfolio mezzanine loans is $150.0 million, plus $0.8 million of unamortized closing costs. Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that no impairment adjustment is warranted on the Arden Portfolio mezzanine loans. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized $3.8 million and $10.0 million, respectively, of interest income (excluding amortization of closing costs and accretion of discounts on purchase price) from the Arden Portfolio mezzanine loans.
Extension of Maturity Date on Tribeca Loans
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had invested an aggregate of $47.9 million in two mezzanine loans (the first in the principal amount of approximately $15.9 million and the second in the principal amount of approximately $32.0 million) (together, the “First and Second Tribeca Mezzanine Loans”) and $15.0 million in a 25% participation interest in the senior mortgage loans (the “Senior Mortgage Loans” and, collectively, the “Tribeca Loans”) related to the conversion of an eight-story loft building into a ten-story condominium building with 62 units (the “Tribeca Building”) located at 415 Greenwich Street in New York, New York.
The First and Second Tribeca Mezzanine Loans are subordinate to the Senior Mortgage Loans totaling approximately $60.0 million and a $25.0 million senior mezzanine loan.
The Tribeca Loans had an initial maturity date of May 1, 2008, each with a one-year extension option subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. On April 30, 2008, the Company entered into loan modification agreements with the borrower to extend the maturity date of the First and Second Tribeca Mezzanine Loans to November 1, 2008. The Senior Mortgage Loan documents and the senior mezzanine loan documents with the mortgage lender and the senior mezzanine lender, respectively, were also simultaneously modified in order to extend the maturity dates of the other Tribeca Loans to November 1, 2008, subject to certain terms, debt covenants, and loan extension fees. The Company is currently negotiating with the borrower and the other lenders to extend the November 1, 2008 maturity date on the loans to May 1, 2009, subject to certain terms and conditions.
As of September 30, 2008, based on total number of units available for sale, approximately 34% of the condominium units in the Tribeca Building had been sold and approximately 26% were under contracts of sale.
On September 26, 2008, the general contractor for the Tribeca Building filed a mechanics’ lien on the property for approximately $12 million. In connection with the extension of the maturity date on the loans, the Company is working with the borrower to remove the lien from the property.
Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that no impairment adjustment is warranted on the Tribeca Loans. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized $3.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively, of interest income (excluding amortization of closing costs) under the Tribeca Loans.

7. | MARKETABLE REAL ESTATE SECURITIES |
At September 30, 2008, the Company held two investments in securities classified as available for sale. The Company evaluates its investments in available for sale marketable real estate securities for impairment and determines if a decline in market value of the security below the Company’s cost basis is other-than-temporary based upon (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) an analysis of the anticipated future cash flow from the underlying collateral and (iii) the Company’s ability and intent to retain the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery in the fair value.
On April 19, 2007, the Company acquired at a discount approximately $17.8 million of CMBS that accrue interest at a coupon rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 2.30% (“Floating Rate CMBS”). The Floating Rate CMBS were rated BBB- and BB+ by Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, respectively, on the date of acquisition. Since the time the Company acquired the securities there have been disruptions in the commercial mortgage markets in general, and the CMBS market in particular. In addition, spreads in the primary mortgage market have widened significantly. While this capital market stress has not to date been reflected in the performance of the commercial mortgages in the form of increased defaults in mortgage pools underlying the Floating Rate CMBS, pricing of the Floating Rate CMBS has been adversely affected by market perceptions that underlying mortgage defaults will increase. In addition, in July 2008, the credit rating for the Floating Rate CMBS was downgraded to B and BB- by Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, respectively. As a result of these factors, the Company recognized $7.0 million of other-than-temporary impairment charges in the second quarter of 2008 and established a new cost basis for the Floating Rate CMBS of $10.7 million. Prior to the second quarter of 2008, the Company had recognized $2.4 million of unrealized losses on these securities through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. The $2.4 million of unrealized losses were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity as part of the $7.0 million other-than-temporary impairment charge included in the consolidated statements of operations. Based on the new cost basis of $10.7 million, the Company calculated a revised yield for the securities and recognized additional interest increase of $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded unrealized loss of $0.4 million, related to the Floating Rate CMBS, which was recognized through other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.
Additionally, on June 13, 2008, the Company acquired $82.0 million of investment grade securities at a discount, which accrue interest at a coupon rate of 4.5% and that are indirectly backed by CMBS (“Fixed Rate Securities”). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded net unrealized losses of $8.2 million and $7.8 million, respectively, related to the Fixed Rate Securities, which was recognized through other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. The unrealized loss as of September 30, 2008 was deemed to be a temporary impairment based upon (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) an analysis of the anticipated future cash flow from the underlying collateral and (iii) the Company’s ability and intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery in the fair value. The Company determined that these gross unrealized losses resulted from volatility in interest rates, widening of credit spreads and other qualitative factors relating to macro-credit conditions in the mortgage market. Additionally, as of September 30, 2008, management determined that the subordinate CMBS tranches below the Company’s CMBS investment adequately protect the Company’s ability to recover the investment and that the Company’s estimates of anticipated future cash flows from the CMBS investment have not been adversely impacted by the deterioration in the creditworthiness of the specific CMBS issuers.

(1) Represents the weighted-average interest rate for the current year to date; however, if the loan was refinanced during the year, the weighted-average interest rate is from the refinancing date to September 30, 2008.
(2) Represents the initial maturity date or the maturity date as extended as of September 30, 2008; subject to certain conditions, the maturity dates of some loans may be extended beyond the date shown.
(3) On July 11, 2008, the Company paid off the principal and interest under short-term bridge loans and completed four-year secured financing of the referenced properties, which is shown above. Principal as of December 31, 2007 reflects the principal amount outstanding under the prior short-term bridge loans that were paid off on July 11, 2008. At the Company’s election, the interest rate on this loan may be calculated at a variable rate of Prime or 220 basis points over one-month, three-month, or six-month LIBOR by entering into a one-month, three-month, or six-month LIBOR contract, respectively.
(4) On February 22, 2008, the Company paid off the principal and interest outstanding under the note.
(5) On April 29, 2008, the Company paid off principal and interest under short-term bridge loans and completed three-year secured financing on the referenced properties, which are shown above. Principal as of December 31, 2007, reflects the principal amount outstanding under the prior short-term bridge loans that were paid off on April 29, 2008. The borrowers under the referenced loan are co-borrowers under a single mortgage loan. The individual deed of trust and mortgage on the respective properties securing the loan are cross-defaulted and this in effect creates cross-collateralization of the properties.
(6) At the Company’s election, the interest rate on this loan may be calculated at a variable rate of Prime or 225 basis points over one-month, three-month, or six-month LIBOR by entering into a one-month, three-month, or six-month LIBOR contract, respectively.
(7) Held through a consolidated joint venture. On March 28, 2008 and May 8, 2008, the mortgage and mezzanine loans were restructured to provide for additional debt tranches with varying interest rates. In the aggregate, the weighted-average interest rate of the mortgage and mezzanine loans is 125 basis points over the 30-day LIBOR. The terms of the loan agreements provide for the right to extend the loan for three successive one-year periods upon satisfaction of certain terms and conditions. Under the mortgage loan agreement, all of the properties in the National Industrial Portfolio create a single collateral pool. The individual deeds of trust and mortgages on the properties securing the loan are cross-defaulted and this in effect creates a cross-collateralization of the properties.
(8) | On April 16, 2008, the Company paid off the principal and interest outstanding under the agreement. |
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company incurred $18.1 million and $48.2 million of interest expense, respectively. Of this amount, $4.5 million was payable at September 30, 2008. Included in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $2.4 million and $6.0 million of amortization of deferred financing costs, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company entered into the following financings related to its real property portfolio:
Portfolio Secured Mortgage Loan Facility
On July 11, 2008, certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”), entered into a secured four-year mortgage loan agreement with an unaffiliated lender providing for a secured mortgage loan facility in the maximum principal amount of $158.7 million (the “Portfolio Secured Mortgage Loan Facility”), subject to certain borrowing limitations. The determination of the total amount of the Portfolio Secured Mortgage Loan Facility was based on a percentage of the appraised value of the properties in the portfolio that will serve as collateral for the facility. The maturity date of the loan is July 9, 2012, with two one-year extension options subject to certain conditions. The Portfolio Secured Mortgage Loan Facility bears interest at a floating rate of 220 basis points over 30-day LIBOR. The Company has purchased interest rate protection for the majority of the loan in the form of an interest rate swap agreement, effectively fixing the interest rate on a majority of the loan at 6.02%. Proceeds from the Portfolio Secured Mortgage Loan Facility were used to pay off short-term bridge loans on 11 properties, aggregating to $139.3 million as of July 11, 2008, which now secure this loan. In addition, the Portfolio Secured Mortgage Loan Facility was used to fund $19.3 million of the purchase price of Great Oaks Center, which secures the loan, and $9.8 million was drawn on this facility to finance Suwanee Pointe, which also secures the loan. The Borrowers under the Portfolio Secured Mortgage Loan Facility are co-borrowers under a single mortgage loan agreement pursuant to which all of the Borrowers’ assets make up a collateral pool. All of the deeds of trust and mortgages on the properties securing the Portfolio Secured Mortgage Loan Facility are cross-defaulted and this in effect creates cross-collateralization of all the properties. The following properties secure the loan: Hartman Business Center One, Cardinal Health, Corporate Express, Rickenbacker IV – Medline, Plainfield Business Center, Crystal Park II – Buildings D & E, Park 75 – Dell, Advo-Valassis, the Nashville Flex Portfolio, Patrick Henry Corporate Center, Rivertech I and II, Suwanee Pointe and Great Oaks Center.
Financings Related to the Investment in the GKK Mezzanine Loans
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the GKK Mezzanine Loan on August 22, 2008, the Company, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into two repurchase agreements with Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (“Goldman”) and Citigroup Financial Products Inc. (“Citigroup”). Together, the two repurchase agreements encumber the Company’s entire ownership interest in the GKK Mezzanine Loan and financed $297.6 million of the Company’s cost of acquiring the GKK Mezzanine Loan. The repurchase agreement with Goldman is in the amount of $167.4 million and the repurchase agreement with Citigroup is in the amount of $130.2 million.

The repurchase agreements with Goldman and Citigroup currently bear interest at a rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 150 basis points and have a maturity date of the earliest to occur of (a) March 9, 2011, (b) the maturity or termination date of the GKK Mezzanine Loan, or (c) such earlier date on which the repurchase agreements shall terminate in accordance with their terms or by operation of law. Though certain indirect wholly owned subsidiaries are the parties that entered the repurchase agreements, the Company has guaranteed amounts outstanding under the agreements. The Company may prepay amounts outstanding under the repurchase agreements, though prepayments are subject to breakage fees. The repurchase agreements also require the Company to meet certain financial covenants and contain other covenants and events of default that are typical for this type of financing.

(1) The Company has not designated either of these contracts as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. The interest rate caps have been recorded at their estimated fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008. The gain (loss) resulting from the increase (decrease) in fair value of the interest rate caps for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 of approximately ($181,000) and $11,000, respectively, is reflected on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations as an unrealized gain on derivative instruments. The Company marks the interest rate cap agreements to their estimated fair values as of each balance sheet date and records the changes in fair value in the consolidated statement of operations.
(2) The Company designated each of these three interest rate floor agreements as cash flow hedges. The interest rate floor agreements have been recorded at their estimated fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008. Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the interest rate floor agreements designated as hedges are recorded as other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. Other comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 relating to the fair value adjustments of the three interest rate floor agreements amounted to approximately $179,000 and $806,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company also amortized, as an offset to interest income, the cost of the interest rate floor agreements of approximately $809,000 and $1.9 million, respectively.
(3) The Company designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap effectively fixes the interest rate on $119,037,000 of debt at 4.67% based on a LIBOR swap rate of 3.815%. Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the interest rate swap designated as hedges are recorded as other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

14. | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The Company adopted SFAS 157, on January 1, 2008, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements for financial instruments. The framework required for the valuation of investments uses a three-tiered approach. The statement requires fair value measurement be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
| • | | Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and |
| • | | Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from an independent third party source to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require significant adjustment by the Company to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, market prices quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. In these instances, the Company places less reliance on quotes that do not reflect the result of market transactions and classifies the fair value measurement of these financial instruments as Level 3 in accordance with FSP SFAS 157-3.
At September 30, 2008, the Company held the following financial instruments measured under the SFAS 157 hierarchy (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | Total | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) |

The Company had granted no stock-based compensation awards and it had not incurred any disposition fees, subordinated participation in net cash flows, or subordinated incentive listing fees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
The fees and reimbursement obligations under the Advisory Agreement and Dealer Manager Agreement are as follows:
| | | | |
Form of Compensation | | Amount | | |
Selling Commission | | The Company paid the Dealer Manager up to 6.0% of the gross offering proceeds before reallowance of commissions earned by participating broker-dealers in its primary offering of up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock. The Dealer Manager reallowed 100% of commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. The Company ceased offering shares in its primary offering on May 30, 2008. Subscriptions from nonqualified accounts had to be postmarked as of May 30, 2008. For investments by qualified accounts, subscription agreements must have been dated on or before May 30, 2008 with all documents and funds received by the Company by the end of business on September 1, 2008. The Company has now terminated the primary offering upon completion of review of subscriptions submitted in accordance with its processing procedures. The Company continues to offer shares under its dividend reinvestment plan. To the extent permitted under state securities laws, if the Company paid selling commissions in connection with the issuance of shares to the investor in the primary offering, the Company may pay the Dealer Manager up to 3.0% of gross offering proceeds from the dividend reinvestment plan. The Dealer Manager will reallow 100% of commissions payable on shares issued through the dividend reinvestment plan to the broker-dealer associated with such account. | | |
| | |
Dealer Manager Fee | | The Company paid the Dealer Manager 3.5% of gross offering proceeds for shares sold pursuant to the Company’s up to 200,000,000 share primary offering, which has terminated as described immediately above. In some instances, the Dealer Manager reallowed to participating broker-dealers up to 1% of the gross offering proceeds attributable to the respective broker-dealer as a marketing fee, provided that the Dealer Manager increased the amount of the reallowance in special cases. The dealer manager fee was reduced for certain volume discount sales. No dealer manager fee is payable on shares issued under the ongoing dividend reinvestment plan offering. | | |
| | |
Reimbursement of Organization and Offering Expenses | | The Company reimburses the Advisor or its affiliates for organization and offering expenses (as discussed in Note 2) incurred by the Advisor or its affiliates on behalf of the Company to the extent that reimbursement would not cause selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering expenses borne by the Company to exceed 15% of gross offering proceeds as of the date of reimbursement. | | |

Form of Compensation | | Amount | | |
Acquisition Fee | | The Company pays the Advisor 0.75% of the cost of investments acquired, including acquisition expenses and any debt attributable to such investments. | | |
| | |
Asset Management Fee* | | The Company pays the Advisor a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the sum of the cost of all real estate investments the Company owns and of the Company’s investments in joint ventures, including acquisition fees, acquisition expenses and any debt attributable to such investments, provided that with respect to the Company’s investment in the Joint Venture that owns the National Industrial Portfolio, the asset management fee is calculated as a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.27% of the cost of the Joint Venture investment, which equals the product of (i) the amount actually paid or allocated to the purchase, development, construction or improvement of properties by the Joint Venture, inclusive of expenses related thereto, and the amount of any outstanding debt associated with such properties and the Joint Venture and (ii) the percentage that represents the Company’s economic interest in the Joint Venture. The Advisor may also earn a performance fee related to the joint venture investment in the National Industrial Portfolio that would in effect make the Advisor’s cumulative fees related to the investment equal to 0.75% of the cost of the joint venture investment on an annualized basis from the date of the Company’s investment in the Joint Venture through the date of calculation. This fee is conditioned upon the amount of the Company’s funds from operations. As of September 30, 2008, the Company’s operations were sufficient to meet the funds from operations condition per the Advisory Agreement. As a result, as of September 30, 2008, the Company had accrued for incurred but unpaid performance fees of $2.3 million. Although these performance fees have been incurred as of September 30, 2008, the Advisory Agreement further provides that the payment of these fees shall only be made after the repayment of advances from the Advisor. As of September 30, 2008, $1.6 million of advances from the Advisor remain unpaid. Although the asset management fees earned by the Advisor through September 30, 2008 have been accrued for and expensed in the appropriate period in the Company’s financial statements, the Advisor deferred, without interest, payment of the asset management fees it earned from July 2006 through September 2007. The Company has paid $1.0 million of the $3.2 million initially deferred. Per the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may choose to be paid the accrued but unpaid asset management fees in such future period as the Advisor may determine. At September 30, 2008, there were $2.2 million of accrued but unpaid asset management fees for the months of July 2006 through September 2007 outstanding and $2.3 million of accrued but unpaid performance fees related to the Company’s investment in the Joint Venture that owns the National Industrial Portfolio. The Company has paid the Advisor asset management fees of $12.0 million earned pursuant to the Advisory Agreement for services related to the months of October 2007 through September 2008. | | |

Form of Compensation | | Amount | | |
Reimbursement of Operating Expenses* | | The Company may reimburse certain operating expenses incurred by the Advisor or its affiliates in connection with their provision of services to the Company, including the Company’s allocable share of the Advisor’s overhead, such as rent, personnel costs, utilities and IT costs. However, the Company does not reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates for personnel costs in connection with services for which the Advisor or its affiliates receive acquisition fees or disposition fees. | | |
| | |
Disposition Fee | | For substantial assistance in connection with the sale of properties or other investments, the Company will pay the Advisor or its affiliate a disposition fee of 1% of the contract sales price of the properties or other investments sold. However, in no event may the real estate commissions paid to the Advisor, its affiliates and unaffiliated third parties exceed 6% of the contract sales price of the properties or other investments sold. | | |
| | |
Subordinated Participation in Net Cash Flows* | | After investors receive a return of their net capital contributions and an 8.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return, the Advisor is entitled to receive 15.0% of the net cash flows produced by the Company, whether from continuing operations, net sale proceeds or otherwise. | | |
| | |
Subordinated Incentive Listing Fee | | Upon listing the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange, the Advisor or its affiliates will receive 15% of the amount by which (1) the market value of the Company’s outstanding stock plus distributions paid by the Company prior to listing exceeds (2) the sum of invested capital and the amount of cash flow necessary to generate an 8.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return to stockholders. | | |
| | |
Stock-based Compensation Awards* | | The Company may issue stock-based awards to affiliates of the Advisor. As of September 30, 2008, no awards had been granted under the plan. The Company has no timetable for the grant of any awards under the Employee and Independent Director Incentive Stock Plan, and the Company’s board of directors has adopted a policy that prohibits grants of any awards of shares of common stock to any person under the Employee and Independent Director Stock Plan. | | |
* The Advisor will reimburse the Company at the end of any fiscal quarter for total operating expenses that in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended exceed the greater of 2% of its average invested assets or 25% of its net income for such year, unless the conflicts committee of the Company’s board of directors has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. The Company’s total operating expenses were not in excess of the operating expense reimbursement obligation for the four trailing fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2008 or 2007.
“Average invested assets” means the average monthly book value of the Company’s assets during the 12-month period before deducting depreciation, bad debts or other non-cash reserves. “Total operating expenses” means all expenses paid or incurred by the Company, as determined under GAAP, that are in any way related to the Company’s operation, including advisory fees, but excluding (a) the expenses of raising capital such as organization and offering expenses, legal, audit, accounting, underwriting, brokerage, listing, registration and other fees, printing and other such expenses and taxes incurred in connection with the issuance, distribution, transfer, registration and stock exchange listing of the Company’s stock; (b) interest payments; (c) taxes; (d) non-cash expenditures such as depreciation, amortization and bad debt reserves; (e) reasonable incentive fees based on the gain on the sale of the Company’s assets; and (f) acquisition fees, acquisition expenses (including expenses relating to potential acquisitions that the Company does not close), real estate commissions on the resale of property and other expenses connected with the acquisition, disposition, management and ownership of real estate interests, mortgage loans or other property (including the costs of foreclosure, insurance premiums, legal services, maintenance, repair and improvement of property). To the extent the Advisor receives the fee described above at “Subordinated Participation in Net Cash Flows” and such fee is derived from cash flows other than net sales proceeds, that fee may be limited by the restriction on “total operating expenses.” In addition, stock-based awards treated as an expense under GAAP will count, toward the restriction on “total operating expenses.”

On August 8, 2007, the Company entered into an operating agreement with New Leaf Industrial Partners Fund, L.P (“New Leaf”) for the Joint Venture (the “Operating Agreement”). The purpose of the Joint Venture, which is managed by New Leaf, is to invest in 23 institutional quality industrial properties and hold a master lease with a remaining term of approximately 14.5 years with respect to another industrial property (collectively, the “National Industrial Portfolio”). The Company made an initial capital contribution of approximately $85.5 million and holds an 80% membership interest in the Joint Venture. New Leaf made an initial capital contribution of approximately $21.4 million and owns a 20% membership interest in the Joint Venture. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Company and New Leaf may be required to make additional capital contributions to the Joint Venture to fund operating reserves or expenses approved by the budget or business plan.
New Leaf is the manager of the Joint Venture; however, its authority is limited. It may not cause the Joint Venture to undertake activities or incur expenses with respect to the National Industrial Portfolio properties not authorized by the Operating Agreement, the approved budget or the approved business plan, except certain limited expenditures. New Leaf also may not cause the Joint Venture to make certain decisions without the Company’s consent, including any action that would reasonably be expected to have a substantial or material effect upon the Joint Venture, any of its subsidiaries or the National Industrial Portfolio properties.
New Leaf received acquisition fees in connection with the acquisition by the Joint Venture of the National Industrial Portfolio and is entitled to asset management fees and disposition fees for its services for the Joint Venture.
So long as New Leaf is the manager of the Joint Venture, distributions will be made generally as follows: (i) first, to return to the members, pro rata, their capital contributions, (ii) second, to pay the members a return of 8%, compounded annually, (iii) third, 36% of the distributable cash to New Leaf and 64% of the distributable cash to the Company, until the Company has received a return of 10%, compounded annually, and (iv) thereafter, 44% of the distributable cash to New Leaf and 56% of the distributable cash to the Company. If New Leaf is no longer the manager in the Joint Venture, distributions will be made generally first to return to the members, pro rata, their capital contributions and second to the members pro rata in proportion to each member’s membership interest. At all times, the following special distributions may be given a higher priority: (i) special distributions to the Company necessary in connection with its status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and (ii) special distributions to a member that has made additional capital contributions on behalf of the other.
The Company concluded that the Joint Venture meets the definition of a variable interest entity under FIN 46R and it is the primary beneficiary of the Joint Venture. Therefore, the Company consolidates the Joint Venture in its financials statements and records a minority interest for the portions not owned by the Company.

The Company presently operates in two business segments in the real estate markets: real property investments and investments in real estate-related assets. Under the real property investments segment, the Company invests primarily in office, industrial, and retail properties located throughout the United States. Under the real estate-related assets segment, the Company invests in and originates mezzanine loans, mortgage loans and other real estate-related assets, including mortgage-backed securities and other structured finance investments.

20. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Economic Dependency
The Company is dependent on the Advisor and the Dealer Manager for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the sale of the Company’s shares of common and preferred stock available for issue; the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase, and disposition of properties and other investments; management of the daily operations of the Company’s real estate and real estate-related investment portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the respective services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company invests in real estate loans receivable including loans that are in the form of mezzanine loans that are secured by a pledge of the ownership interests of an entity that indirectly owns real property. This type of investment involves a higher degree of risk relative to a long-term senior mortgage secured by the underlying real property because the investment may become unsecured as a result of foreclosure by the senior lender. In the event of a bankruptcy of the entity providing the pledge of its ownership interests as security, the Company may not have full recourse to the assets of such entity, or the assets of the entity may not be sufficient to satisfy the loan.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing environmental laws is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of September 30, 2008.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.
Magazine Article
On May 21, 2007, Real Estate Finance & Investment newsweekly published an interview between Institutional Investor, Inc. reporter William Sprouse and Peter M. Bren, who is the Company’s president, the president of the Advisor and the chairman of the board and president of KBS Realty Advisors LLC. The interview was also made available to Real Estate Finance & Investment subscribers on the Institutional Investor, Inc. website on May 21, 2007. If the Company’s involvement with the article were held by a court to be in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, the Company could be required to repurchase the shares from investors in the Offering who received the newsweekly article before receiving a written prospectus. Such potential repurchase obligation would last for a period of one year following the date of the alleged violation. The repurchase price would be the original purchase price, plus statutory interest from the date of purchase.
The Company intends to contest vigorously any claim that a Section 5 violation occurred; nevertheless, the Company can give no assurance that a court would agree with its determination. Because the Company does not know the amount of shares purchased in the Offering, if any, from those who received the newsweekly before receiving a prospectus, the Company cannot know the amount of the Company’s potential liability should a court hold that a Section 5 violation occurred. Therefore, the Company can give no assurance that the ultimate outcome with respect to any such Section 5 claim would not materially adversely affect the Company’s operating results, financial position or liquidity.

Journal Article
The St. Louis Business Journal published an article dated October 27, 2006 related to the Company’s acquisition of the Plaza in Clayton, a 16-story office building containing 325,172 rentable square feet in St. Louis, Missouri. The article included statements about the acquisition and statements about the Company made by the national sales manager of the Dealer Manager. The article is also available on the St. Louis Business Journal’s web site.
If the Dealer Manager’s involvement with the article were held by a court to be in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, the Company could be required to repurchase the shares from investors in the Offering who received the article before receiving a written prospectus. Such potential repurchase obligation would last for a period of one year following the date of the alleged violation. The repurchase price would be the original purchase price, plus statutory interest from the date of purchase.

Distributions Paid
On October 15, 2008, the Company paid distributions of approximately $10.1 million, which related to distributions declared for each day in the period from September 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008.
Distributions Declared
On October 21, 2008, the Company’s board of directors declared a daily distribution for the period from November 1, 2008 through November 30, 2008, which the Company expects to pay in December 2008. On November 7, 2008, the Company’s board of directors declared a daily distribution for the period from December 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, which the Company expects to pay in January 2008, and a daily distribution for the period from January 1, 2009 through January 31, 2009, which distribution the Company expects to pay in February 2009. Investors may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan.
Distributions are calculated based on stockholders of record each day during these periods at a rate of $0.0019178 per share per day and equal a daily amount that, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 7.0% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The Advisor has agreed to advance funds to the Company equal to the amount by which the cumulative amount of distributions declared by the Company from January 1, 2006 through the period ending January 31, 2009 exceeds the amount of the Company’s funds from operations (as defined by NAREIT) from January 1, 2006 through January 31, 2009, see Note 15, “Related Party Transactions.”

Subsequent Investments and Financings
Acquisition and Related Financing of Five Tower Bridge Building
On October 14, 2008, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, purchased an eight-story office building containing 223,726 rentable square feet (the “Five Tower Bridge Building”) from a seller unaffiliated with the Company or the Advisor. The Five Tower Bridge Building is located on an approximate 10.3-acre parcel of land in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. The purchase price of the Five Tower Bridge Building was approximately $73.0 million plus closing costs.
The Company funded the acquisition with a $41.0 million mortgage loan and with proceeds from the Offering.
Purchase and Sale Agreement for City Gate Plaza
On October 20, 2008, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a seller unaffiliated with the Company or the Advisor to purchase a five-story office building and a single-story amenities building containing a total of 105,003 rentable square feet (“City Gate Plaza”). Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, the Company would be obligated to purchase the property only after satisfactory completion of agreed upon closing conditions. The purchase price of City Gate Plaza is approximately $20.6 million plus closing costs. There can be no assurance that the Company will complete the acquisition. In some circumstances, if the Company fails to complete the acquisition, the Company may forfeit $400,000 of earnest money.
Repurchase Agreement
On August 14, 2008, the Company entered into a repurchase transaction under a master repurchase agreement with Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. (“Deutsche Bank”), providing the Company with $22.3 million to finance its investment in $82.0 million (face amount) of investment grade securities that are backed by commercial mortgage-backed securities (the “Fixed Rate Securities”). Based on Deutsche Bank’s methodology for valuing the Fixed Rate Securities, Deutsche Bank concluded that the fair market value of the securities declined in excess of the threshold amount and made margin calls under the repurchase agreement on October 29 and October 30, 2008 and on November 3 and November 4, 2008. The Company met the margins calls under the repurchase agreement by making cash payments in the aggregate amount of $4.4 million. Because Deutsche Bank looks to credit spreads to determine fair market value, and because the Company expects credit spreads to continue to widen in the short term, the Company has also paid an additional $2.4 million under the repurchase agreement for total payments to Deutsche Bank of $6.8 million. The amount the Company must repay Deutsche Bank to repurchase the Fixed Rate Securities under the repurchase agreement is reduced by these cash payments to Deutsche Bank.

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 KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, KBS Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “Operating Partnership” and to their subsidiaries.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
| • | | Both we and our advisor have a limited operating history and our advisor has limited experience operating a public company. This inexperience makes our future performance difficult to predict. |
| • | | All of our executive officers and some of our directors are also officers, managers and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, our dealer manager and other KBS-affiliated entities. As a result, our executive officers, some of our directors, our advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other investors and programs advised by KBS affiliates and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other investors. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions. |
| • | | Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other KBS-advised programs or investors, our advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties and other investments and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, meaning that we could invest in less attractive assets, which could reduce the investment return to our stockholders. |
| • | | We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. |
| • | | Our investments in mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans as well as investments in mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other debt may be affected by unfavorable real estate market conditions, which could decrease the value of those assets and reduce the investment return to our stockholders. |
| • | | The current credit market disruptions have caused the spreads on prospective debt financing to increase. This could cause the costs and terms of new financings to be less attractive than the terms of our current indebtedness and increase the cost of our variable rate debt. |
| • | | Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. |
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item IA of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the risks identified in Part II, Item 1A of this quarterly report.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Overview
We are a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, beginning with the taxable year that ended December 31, 2006. On June 23, 2005, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-126087) with the SEC to offer a maximum of 280,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public. Of the 280,000,000 shares offered, 200,000,000 shares were registered in our primary public offering and 80,000,000 shares were registered under our dividend reinvestment plan. The SEC declared the registration statement effective on January 13, 2006, and we launched our initial public offering on January 27, 2006. On July 5, 2006, we broke escrow in our initial public offering and then commenced our real estate operations. As of September 30, 2008, we had sold 176,767,285 shares of common stock in our public offering for gross offering proceeds of approximately $1.76 billion, inclusive of shares sold in the primary offering and under the dividend reinvestment plan. As of September 30, 2008, we had redeemed 687,564 of the shares sold in our public offering pursuant to our share redemption program for approximately $6.6 million. We ceased offering shares of common stock in our primary offering of up to 200,000,000 shares on May 30, 2008 and terminated the offering upon the completion of review of subscriptions submitted in accordance with our processing procedures. We continue to offer shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan.
We have used the proceeds of our public offering to acquire and manage a diverse portfolio of real estate properties and real estate-related investments. We own substantially all of our assets and conduct our operations through our Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. We have no paid employees. Our advisor, KBS Capital Advisors, conducts our operations and manages our portfolio of real estate investments.
As of September 30, 2008, we owned 62 real estate properties, one master lease, 21 real estate loans receivable, and two investments in securities directly or indirectly backed by commercial mortgage loans. The 62 real estate properties total 20.4 million square feet, including properties held through a consolidated joint venture. The real estate property portfolio includes 20 office properties, one light industrial property, three corporate research properties, two distribution facilities, one industrial portfolio consisting of nine distribution and office/warehouse properties, one office/flex portfolio consisting of four properties and an 80% membership interest in a joint venture that owns a portfolio of 23 institutional quality industrial properties and a master lease with respect to another property. At September 30, 2008, the portfolio was approximately 95% leased. Our real estate loans receivable portfolio includes three secured loans and one mezzanine loan that we originated as well as seven mezzanine real estate loans, two B-Notes, a partial ownership interest in three mezzanine real estate loans, two first mortgage loans, a partial ownership interest in a senior mortgage loan and two loans representing senior subordinated debt of a private REIT. Our marketable real estate securities portfolio includes two investments in securities directly or indirectly backed by commercial mortgage loans.
In constructing our portfolio, we have targeted to acquire approximately 70% core investments, which are generally existing properties with at least 80% occupancy and minimal near-term lease rollover, and approximately 30% real estate-related investments and enhanced-return properties. Though our target portfolio would consist of 30% real estate-related investments and enhanced-return properties, we will not forgo a good investment opportunity because it does not precisely fit our expected portfolio composition. Thus, to the extent that our advisor presents us with good investment opportunities that allow us to meet the REIT requirements under the Internal Revenue Code, our portfolio may consist of a greater percentage of enhanced-return properties and real estate-related investments.
Real estate-related investments and enhanced-return properties are higher-yield and higher-risk investments that our advisor will actively manage. The real estate-related investments in which we may invest include: (i) mortgage loans; (ii) equity securities such as common stocks, preferred stocks and convertible preferred securities of real estate companies; (iii) debt securities such as mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgages, mortgage loan participations and debt securities issued by other real estate companies; and (iv) certain types of illiquid securities, such as mezzanine loans and bridge loans. While we may invest in any of these real estate-related investments, we expect that the substantial majority of these investments will consist of mezzanine loans, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and B-Notes as well as collateralized debt obligations. The enhanced-return properties that we will seek to acquire and reposition include: properties with moderate vacancies or near-term lease rollovers; poorly managed and positioned properties; properties owned by distressed sellers; and built-to-suit properties.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Market Outlook
Real Estate Finance Market
Events in the residential mortgage market have impacted the commercial mortgage market as well as the market for debt related real estate-related investments generally. Credit spreads on commercial mortgages (i.e., the interest rate spread overall given benchmarks such as LIBOR or U.S. Treasury securities) are significantly influenced by: (i) supply and demand for such mortgage loans and (ii) the ability to sell or finance such commercial mortgage assets. In the case of the former, the number of potential lenders in the market place and the amount of funds they are willing to devote to commercial mortgage assets will impact credit spreads. As liquidity or “demand” increases, spreads on equivalent commercial mortgage loans will decrease. Conversely, a lack of liquidity will result in credit spreads increasing. During periods of volatility, the number of lenders participating in the market may change at an accelerated pace. Further, many lenders are subject to the capital markets in order to finance their portfolio of commercial loans. Lenders are forced to increase the credit spread at which they are willing to lend as liquidity in the capital markets decreases. As credit conditions in the market tighten, many lenders have requested additional collateral or repayments with respect to their loans in order to maintain margins that are acceptable to them.
For existing loans, when credit spreads widen, the fair value of these existing loans decrease in market price. If a lender were to originate a similar loan today, such loan would carry a greater credit spread than the existing loan. Even though a loan may be performing in accordance with its loan agreement and the underlying collateral has not changed, the fair value of the loan may be negatively impacted by the incremental interest forgone from the widened credit spread. Accordingly, when a lender wishes to sell the loan in a whole loan transaction, issue commercial mortgage-backed securities, finance the loan under a warehouse facility, or pledge the loan in a commercial real estate collateralized debt obligation financing, the reduced fair value of the loan will impact the total proceeds that the lender will receive.
Recently, concerns pertaining to the deterioration of credit in the residential mortgage market have expanded to almost all areas of the debt capital markets including corporate bonds, asset-based securities and commercial real estate bonds and loans. This has resulted in a general reduction of demand in the commercial real estate sector. It has also caused a significant widening of the credit spreads on both commercial mortgage-backed securities and commercial real estate collateralized debt obligations in recent months. We can not foresee when these markets will stabilize.
More generally, the capital and credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for more than 15 months, triggered by losses tied to the residential mortgage markets. The effects of increased rates of delinquency, foreclosure and loss in residential mortgages have spread throughout the capital markets and have affected the overall economy. These circumstances have materially impacted the cost and availability of debt to borrowers. As of November 12, 2008, we had debt obligations in the aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion. Short-term loans constituting $461.6 million of this debt mature within the next year and long-term loans constituting the remaining $1.0 billion of this debt mature primarily between 2011 and 2016. As a result of the ongoing credit market turmoil, we may not be able to refinance our existing indebtedness on terms as attractive as our current indebtedness.
The disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions could adversely affect the values of our investments. Turmoil in the capital markets has constrained equity and debt capital available for investment in commercial real estate, resulting in fewer buyers seeking to acquire commercial properties and possible increases in cap rates and lower property values. Furthermore, these deteriorating economic conditions could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values in our real estate portfolio and in the collateral securing our loan investments.
Over the short-term, management expects continued volatility in the capital markets, and with that, continued volatility in the commercial real estate, the real estate finance and the structured finance markets. This may present a short-term opportunity to acquire properties, loans and securities that are undervalued. However, the opportunity is hampered by the increased cost of capital and uncertainty as to when credit markets and the general economy will stabilize.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demand for funds during the short and long-term is the payment of operating expenses, capital expenditures, general and administrative expenses, payments under debt obligations and distributions to stockholders.
Net cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $1.2 billion, consisting primarily of net offering proceeds of $810.4 million (after payment of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering expenses of $83.7 million and redemptions of common stock of $5.7 million) and net aggregate borrowings of $461.8 million (after payment of deferred financing costs of $4.4 million). Net aggregate borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 related to (i) new borrowings totaling $460.9 million used to purchase real estate and real estate-related investments, (ii) loan draws totaling $2.4 million used to fund capital expenditures, (iii) borrowings and the subsequent repayment of repurchase agreements totaling $86.4 million relating to the financing of the Arden Portfolio Mezzanine Loans, (iv) repayment of repurchase agreements totaling $13.3 million related to marketable real estate securities, (v) repayment of a mezzanine loan totaling $3.0 million and (vi) refinancing proceeds of $337.6 million, which were used to repay $318.4 million of notes payable, bringing our aggregate borrowings related to the purchase of real estate and real estate-related investments to $1.5 billion as of September 30, 2008. In addition, we paid distributions of $67.9 million to our investors and purchased three separate interest rate floor agreements for $2.5 million. With capital and borrowings from our financing activities, we invested approximately $418.8 million in real estate, $804.7 million in real estate loans receivable including acquisition fees and closing costs of $6.8 million, and $44.2 million in marketable real estate securities. We also received $16.1 million in principal payments on our loans receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Net cash provided by operating activities was $86.2 million from the operation of our real estate investments and interest income from our investments in real estate loans. At September 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $102.5 million available for investment in properties and real estate-related investments and the repayment of debt.
As of September 30, 2008, our liabilities totaled $1.6 billion and consisted primarily of long-term notes payable with a maturity of longer than one year of $1.0 billion and short-term notes payable with a maturity of one year or less of $461.6 million. Long-term notes payable consisted of $534.6 million of fixed rate mortgage loans with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.70% and $478.6 million of variable rate mortgage loans with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Short-term notes payable consisted of $461.6 million of variable rate mortgage loans with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. These financings are described below under “—Contractual Commitments and Contingencies.”
As discussed above, in 2007 and throughout 2008, the global capital markets have experienced significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions which have led the credit spreads of debt to widen considerably. These circumstances have materially impacted the cost and availability of debt to borrowers. Our investment strategy is to utilize debt to finance our investment portfolio; however, given the current debt market environment, we elected to forgo the use of debt on our most recent real estate acquisitions. Management remains vigilant in monitoring the risks inherent to our portfolio and is taking actions to ensure that we are positioned to take advantage of the current conditions in the capital markets. We may elect to place financing on our recent acquisitions in the future. Our charter limits our borrowings to 75% of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) of all our assets; however, we may exceed that limit if a majority of the conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of our charter limitation and we disclose such borrowing to our stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. As of September 30, 2008, our borrowings were approximately 49% of the cost (before depreciation or other non-cash reserves) of all of our real estate investments.
In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor and the dealer manager. During our public offering, these payments included payments to the dealer manager for selling commissions and dealer manager fees and payments to the dealer manager, our advisor and their affiliates for reimbursement of certain organization and other offering expenses. We will continue to pay the dealer manager selling commissions of up to 3% of gross offering proceeds in connection with the issuance of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan, to the extent permitted under state securities laws and to the extent that we paid selling commissions in connection with the issuance of shares to the investor in the primary offering. We will also continue to reimburse the advisor and the dealer manager for certain organization and offering costs. In addition, we pay our advisor fees in connection with the selection and purchase of real estate investments, the management of our assets and for certain costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT and to operate as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be required to make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. Provided we have sufficient available cash flow, we intend to authorize and declare daily distributions that will be paid on a monthly basis. We have not established a minimum distribution level.

(1)Represents the weighted-average interest rate for the current year to date; however, if the loan was refinanced during the year, the weighted-average interest rate is from the refinancing date to September 30, 2008.
(2) Represents the initial maturity date or the maturity date as extended as of September 30, 2008; subject to certain conditions, the maturity dates of some loans may be extended beyond the date shown.
(3) On July 11, 2008, we paid off the principal and interest under short-term bridge loans and completed four-year secured financing of the referenced properties, which is shown above.
(4) At our election, the interest rate on this loan may be calculated at a variable rate of Prime or 220 basis points over one-month, three-month, or six-month LIBOR by entering into a one-month, three-month, or six-month LIBOR contract, respectively. The borrowers under the secured mortgage loan facility are co-borrowers under a single mortgage loan agreement pursuant to which all of the borrowers’ assets make up a collateral pool. All of the deeds of trust and mortgages on the properties securing the secured mortgage loan facility are cross-defaulted and this in effect creates cross-collateralization of all the properties.
(5) On April 29, 2008, we paid off principal and interest under short-term bridge loans and completed three-year secured financing on the referenced properties, which are shown above. The borrowers under the referenced loan are co-borrowers under a single mortgage loan. The individual deed of trust and mortgage on the respective properties securing the loan are cross-defaulted and this in effect creates cross-collateralization of the properties.
(6) At our election, the interest rate on this loan may be calculated at a variable rate of Prime or 225 basis points over one-month, three-month, or six-month LIBOR by entering into a one-month, three-month, or six-month LIBOR contract, respectively.
(7) Held through a consolidated joint venture. On March 28, 2008 and May 8, 2008, the mortgage and mezzanine loans were restructured to provide for additional debt tranches with varying interest rates. In the aggregate, the weighted-average interest rate of the loans is 125 basis points over the 30-day LIBOR. Under the mortgage loan agreement, all of the properties in the National Industrial Portfolio create a single collateral pool. The individual deeds of trust and mortgages on the properties securing the loan are cross-defaulted and this in effect creates a cross-collateralization of the properties.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
In addition to the contractual obligations set forth above, at September 30, 2008, we have contingent liability with respect to advances to us from our advisor in the amount of $1.6 million for payment of distributions and to cover expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, in excess of our revenues. We are only obligated to reimburse the advisor for these advances if and to the extent that our cumulative funds from operations for the period commencing January 1, 2006 through the date of any such reimbursement exceed the lesser of (i) the cumulative amount of any distributions declared and payable to our stockholders as of the date of such reimbursement or (ii) an amount that is equal to a 7.0% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on invested capital for our stockholders for the period from July 18, 2006 through the date of such reimbursement. No interest will accrue on the advance being made by the advisor.
We also have a liability with respect to the payment of asset management fees and performance fees earned by the advisor of approximately $4.5 million at September 30, 2008. Our advisor has agreed to defer, without interest, the payment of $2.2 million of asset management fees it has earned for the months of July 2006 through September 2007. Although pursuant to the advisory agreement, the advisor may demand payment of accrued but unpaid asset management fees at any time, the advisor does not intend to request payment of accrued but unpaid asset management fees until our cumulative funds from operations for the period commencing January 1, 2006, plus the amount of the advance from the advisor through the date of payment of the accrued but unpaid asset management fees exceed the lesser of (i) the cumulative amount of any distributions declared and payable to our stockholders as of the date of such reimbursement or (ii) an amount that is equal to a 7.0% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on invested capital for our stockholders for the period from July 18, 2006 through the date of such payment. Based on this criteria for payment of deferred asset management fees, on October 31, 2007, we paid our advisor $1.0 million of the $3.2 million of asset management fees that had been deferred for the months of July 2006 through September 2007. In addition, we have paid our advisor asset management fees of $12.0 million earned pursuant to the advisory agreement for services related to the months of October 2007 through September 2008. If necessary in future periods, our advisor intends to defer payment of its asset management fee if the cumulative amount of our funds from operations for the period commencing January 1, 2006 plus the amount of the advance from our advisor is less than the cumulative amount of distributions declared and currently payable to our stockholders.
In addition to deferred asset management fees for the months of July 2006 through September 2007 of $2.2 million, we have incurred but unpaid performance fees totaling $2.3 million related to our joint venture investment in the National Industrial Portfolio. The performance fee is earned by the advisor only upon our meeting certain funds from operation thresholds and makes the advisor’s cumulative fees related to our investment in the National Industrial Portfolio joint venture equal to 0.75% of the cost of the joint venture investment on an annualized basis from the date of our investment in the joint venture through the date of calculation. As of September 30, 2008, our operations were sufficient to meet the funds from operations condition in the advisory agreement. Although these performance fees have been incurred as of September 30, 2008, the advisory agreement further provides that the payment of the performance fee shall only be made after the repayment of advances from the advisor discussed above. The amount of cash available for distributions in future periods will be decreased by the repayment of the advance from the advisor and the payment of our advisor’s deferred asset management fee and unpaid performance fees.
Results of Operations
Overview
Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we expect that rental income and tenant reimbursements, interest income from real estate loans receivable, parking revenues and other operating income, property operating expenses, asset management fees, depreciation, amortization, and net income will each increase in future periods as a result of owning the assets acquired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 for an entire period and as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Our initial public offering commenced on January 27, 2006. Following the receipt and acceptance of subscriptions for the minimum offering of $2.5 million on July 5, 2006, we acquired 23 real estate properties, an 80% membership interest in a joint venture that owns a portfolio of 23 properties and a master lease with respect to another property, three mezzanine real estate loans, a partial ownership interest in a third mezzanine real estate loan, a partial ownership interest in a senior mortgage loan, and an investment in CMBS during 2006 and the first nine months of 2007. We also originated three secured loans. During the remainder of 2007 and first nine months of 2008, we invested in 12 real estate properties, and one office/flex portfolio consisting of four properties. Also during this period, we acquired five mezzanine real estate loans, two B-Notes, a partial ownership interest in two mezzanine real estate loans, two loans representing senior subordinated debt of a private REIT, two first mortgage loans, and made an investment in securities indirectly backed by CMBS. Accordingly, the results of operations presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are not directly comparable.

Rental income and tenant reimbursements increased from $20.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $42.6 million and $9.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in the real property investment portfolio during 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Rental income and tenant reimbursements are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2008 for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.
Interest income from real estate loans receivable increased from $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $23.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in the real estate loans receivable portfolio during 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008. While interest income from real estate loans receivable is expected to continue to increase in future periods compared to historical periods, as a result of owning assets acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2008 for the entire period and future acquisitions of real estate loans receivable, interest income on loans receivable will also be dependent on our ability to reinvest maturing real estate loans receivable at similar yields. The Tribeca Loans, which contributed $3.4 million or 15% of interest income from real estate loans receivable for the three months ended September 30, 2008, were scheduled to mature on November 1, 2008. As of November 14, 2008, we are negotiating an extension of the maturity date to May 1, 2009. The Arden Portfolio Mezzanine loans, which contributed $5.3 million or 22% of interest income from real estate loans receivable during the three months ended September 30, 2008, are scheduled to mature on August 9, 2009.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Interest income from marketable real estate securities increased from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase is related to interest income from fixed rate securities purchased on June 13, 2008 and from floating rate CMBS for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Interest income from fixed rate securities was $1.5 million, including amortization of discount of $0.6 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2008, and interest income from floating rate CMBS was $0.8 million, including $0.4 million accretion relating to the $7.0 million other-than-temporary impairment during second quarter 2008.
Property operating, maintenance and management costs and real estate and other property-related taxes increased from $3.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $9.7 million and $7.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in the real property investment portfolio during 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Property operating, maintenance and management costs and real estate and other property-related taxes are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2008 for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.
Asset management fees incurred and payable to our advisor with respect to real estate investments increased from $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of the growth in the portfolio during 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, we have paid the advisor asset management fees earned pursuant to the advisory agreement for services related to the months of October 2007 through September 2008, other than $2.3 million of performance fees discussed below. In addition, the payment of asset management fees earned by our advisor from July 2006 through September 2007 of $2.2 million has been deferred without interest. Although, pursuant to the advisory agreement, the advisor may demand payment of deferred asset management fees at any time, the advisor does not intend to request payment of deferred asset management fees until our cumulative funds from operations for the period commencing January 1, 2006 plus the amount of the advance from the advisor through the date of payment of the deferred asset management fees exceed the lesser of (i) the cumulative amount of any distributions declared and payable to our stockholders as of the date of such reimbursement or (ii) an amount that is equal to a 7.0% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on invested capital for our stockholders for the period from July 18, 2006 through the date of such payment. If necessary in future periods, our advisor intends to defer payment of its asset management fee if the cumulative amount of our funds from operations for the period commencing January 1, 2006 plus the amount of the advance from our advisor is less than the cumulative amount of distributions declared and currently payable to our stockholders. As of September 30, 2008, our advisor had earned $2.3 million of performance fees related to our joint venture investment in the National Industrial Portfolio, which are included in the $4.1 million of asset management fees for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The performance fee is incurred but unpaid as of September 30, 2008. The performance fee is earned by the advisor only upon our meeting certain funds from operation thresholds and makes the advisor’s cumulative fees related to our investment in the National Industrial Portfolio joint venture equal to 0.75% of the cost of the joint venture investment on an annualized basis from the date of our investment in the joint venture through the date of calculation. As of September 30, 2008, our operations were sufficient to meet the funds from operations condition in the advisory agreement. Although these performance fees have been incurred as of September 30, 2008, the advisory agreement further provides that the payment of the performance fee shall only be made after the repayment of advances from the advisor. Advances from the advisor total $1.6 million and have not been paid as of September 30, 2008.
General and administrative expenses increased from $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. These general and administrative costs consisted primarily of legal, audit and other professional fees. We expect general and administrative costs to increase in the future as we make additional investments, but to decrease as a percentage of total revenue.
Depreciation and amortization increased from $12.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $25.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in the real property investment portfolio during 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Depreciation and amortization are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2008 for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
We have financed the acquisition of our investments in part with debt. See above “—Contractual Commitments and Contingencies.” Interest expense (including amortization of deferred financing costs) increased from $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $18.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of our use of debt in acquiring real property investments during 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Our interest expense in future periods will vary based on our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the cost of borrowings and the opportunity to acquire real estate assets and real estate-related investments meeting our investment objectives.
Interest income increased from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, due to interest income earned on cash from offering proceeds being held throughout the period prior to its investment in real estate or real estate-related investments and an increase in gross offering proceeds raised from $554.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $899.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Net loss of $1.4 million was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to net income of $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, due primarily to increased revenue as a result of significant real estate and real estate loans receivable acquisitions during 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2008 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2007

Interest income from real estate loans receivable increased from $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $50.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in the real estate loans receivable portfolio during 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008. While interest income from real estate loans receivable is expected to continue to increase in future periods compared to historical periods, as a result of owning assets acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 for the entire period and future acquisitions of real estate loans receivable, interest income on loans receivable will also be dependent on our ability to reinvest maturing real estate loans receivable at similar yields. The Tribeca Loans, which contributed $9.1 million or 18% of interest income from real estate loans receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, were scheduled to mature on November 1, 2008. As of November 14, 2008, we are negotiating an extension of the maturity date to May 1, 2009. The Arden Portfolio Mezzanine loans, which contributed $13.2 million or 26% of interest income from real estate loans receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, are scheduled to mature on August 9, 2009.
Interest income from marketable real estate securities increased from $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase is a result of owning the floating rate CMBS acquired on April 19, 2007 for the entire period in 2008 as opposed to a partial period in 2007 and the acquisition of the fixed rate securities on June 13, 2008.
Property operating, maintenance and management costs and real estate and other property-related taxes increased from $6.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $25.5 million and $19.3 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in the real property investment portfolio during 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Property operating, maintenance and management costs and real estate and other property-related taxes are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.
Asset management fees incurred and payable to our advisor with respect to real estate investments increased from $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of the growth in the portfolio during 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and the recognition of incurred but unpaid performance fees totaling $2.3 million related to our joint venture investment in the National Industrial Portfolio. The payment of asset management fees from July 2006 through September 2007 has been deferred as explained above.
General and administrative expenses increased from $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. These general and administrative costs consisted primarily of legal, audit and other professional fees. We expect general and administrative costs to increase in the future as we make additional investments, but to decrease as a percentage of total revenue.
Depreciation and amortization increased from $20.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $70.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in the real property investment portfolio during 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Depreciation and amortization are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.
Interest expense (including amortization of deferred financing costs) increased from $17.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $48.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of our use of debt in acquiring real property investments during 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Our interest expense in future periods will vary based on our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the cost of borrowings and the opportunity to acquire real estate assets and real estate-related investments meeting our investment objectives.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment of marketable real estate securities of approximately $7.0 million. The other-than-temporary impairment was recognized due to a prolonged decrease of the market value of our floating rate CMBS below our cost basis and a downgrade in the credit rating of these securities in July 2008.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Interest income increased from $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 due to interest income earned on cash from offering proceeds being held throughout the period prior to its investment in real estate or real estate-related investments and an increase in gross offering proceeds raised from $554.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $899.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Net loss of $1.2 million was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to net income of $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 due primarily to increased revenue as a result of significant real estate and real estate loans receivable acquisitions during 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue offset by other-than-temporary impairment of marketable real estate securities of $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Organization and Offering Costs
Our organization and offering costs (other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees) were paid in part by our advisor, the dealer manager and their affiliates on our behalf and the advisor, dealer manager or their affiliates may continue to pay these costs of the dividend reinvestment plan offering on our behalf. Other offering costs include all expenses incurred by us in connection with our public offering, including but not limited to (i) legal, accounting, printing, mailing, and filing fees; (ii) charges of the escrow holder and expenses of the advisor for administrative services related to the issuance of shares; (iii) reimbursement of the dealer manager for amounts it may pay to reimburse the bona fide diligence expenses of broker-dealers; (iv) reimbursement to the advisor for the salaries of its employees and other costs in connection with preparing supplemental sales materials; (v) the cost of educational conferences held by us (including the travel, meal, and lodging costs of registered representatives of broker-dealers); and (vi) reimbursement to the dealer manager for travel, meals, lodging, and attendance fees incurred by employees of the dealer manager to attend retail seminars conducted by broker-dealers.
Pursuant to the advisory agreement and the dealer manager agreement, we are obligated to reimburse the advisor, the dealer manager or their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs paid by them on our behalf, provided that the advisor is obligated to reimburse us to the extent selling commissions, dealer manager fees, and organization and other offering costs incurred by us in the offering exceed 15% of our gross offering proceeds. Our advisor and its affiliates have incurred on our behalf organization and offering costs (excluding selling commissions and dealer manager fees) of $10.9 million through September 30, 2008; all such amounts have been reimbursed as of September 30, 2008. Such costs are only a liability to us to the extent selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs do not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of the offering. From commencement of our initial public offering through September 30, 2008, including shares sold through our dividend reinvestment plan, we had issued 176,787,285 shares for gross offering proceeds of $1.76 billion and recorded organization and other offering costs of $16.4 million and selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $155.8 million.
Funds from Operations
We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of any equity REIT. Because FFO calculations exclude such items as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. Our management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets 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 to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance because FFO includes adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization. Accordingly, FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the depreciation of real estate assets was $294 and amortization of lease-related costs was $750. We acquired our interest in the joint venture in the third quarter of 2007.
Set forth below is additional information related to certain noncash items included in net income (loss) above, which may be helpful in assessing our operating results. In addition, 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 capitalized interest, tenant improvements, building improvements, and deferred lease costs. Please see the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows for details of our operating, investing, and financing cash activities.
Noncash Items Included in Net Income (Loss):
| • | | Revenues in excess of actual cash received of $1.1 million (net of adjustment for minority interest of $55,149) for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $0.7 million (net of adjustment for minority interest of $28,695) for the three months ended September 30, 2007, and $3.5 million (net of adjustment for minority interest of $0.2 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and $1.2 million (net of adjustment for minority interest of $28,695) for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as a result of straight-line rent; |

Critical Accounting Policies
Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
Real Estate
Depreciation and Amortization
We have to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income, because, if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis throughout the expected useful lives of these investments. We consider the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. We anticipate the estimated useful lives of our assets by class to be as follows:
| | |
Buildings | | 25-40 years |
Building improvements | | 10-25 years |
Tenant improvements | | Shorter of lease term or expected useful life |
Tenant origination and absorption costs | | Remaining term of related lease |
Real Estate Purchase Price Allocation
Real estate, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, is recorded at cost. We allocate the cost of an acquisition to the acquired tangible assets and identifiable intangibles based on their estimated fair values in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141,Business Combinations.
We record above-market and below-market in-place lease values 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 fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. We amortize any recorded above-market or below-market lease values as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Upon termination of a lease, the unamortized portion of the above-market or below-market lease intangible associated with the vacating tenant’s lease would be charged to rental income in that period.
We measure the aggregate value of other intangible assets acquired based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if vacant. The value of these intangible assets is classified as tenant origination and absorption costs and is amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. We include the amortization of tenant origination and absorption costs as depreciation and amortization expense in the consolidated statement of operations. Management’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Factors considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.
We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management also includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses, to the extent that such costs have not already been incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.
64
PART I. | FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) |
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The total amount of other intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship intangible values, if any, based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.
We amortize the value of in-place leases to expense over the initial term of the respective leases. The value of customer relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event will the amortization periods for the intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Upon termination of a lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles associated with the vacating tenant’s lease would be charged to expense in that period.
Estimates of the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets require us to estimate market lease rates, property operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of our purchase price allocation, which would impact the amount of our net income.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets and Related Intangible Assets and Liabilities
We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of our real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying value of real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability by estimating whether we will recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities through its undiscounted future cash flows and its eventual disposition. If, based on this analysis, we believe that we will not be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, we would record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities as defined by SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. We did not record any impairment losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
Projections of future cash flows require us to estimate the expected future operating income and expenses related to an asset as well as market and other trends. The use of inappropriate assumptions in our future cash flows analyses would result in an incorrect assessment of our assets’ future cash flows and fair values and could result in the overstatement of the carrying values of our real estate assets and an overstatement of our net income.
Real Estate Loans Receivable
The real estate loans receivable are recorded at cost and reviewed for potential impairment at each balance sheet date under SFAS No. 114,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15 (“SFAS 114”), and SFAS No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies (“SFAS 5”). Under SFAS 114, a loan receivable is considered impaired when it becomes probable, based on current information, that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loan’s contractual terms. Our determination of impairment considers, among other things, delinquency trends, prior loan loss experience and management’s judgment and assumptions regarding various matters, including general economic conditions and loan portfolio composition. The amount of impairment loss, if any, would be measured by comparing the recorded amount of the loan receivable to the present value of the expected cash flows or the fair value of the collateral. If a loan was deemed to be impaired, we would record a reserve for loan losses through a charge to income for any shortfall. We recorded no impairment losses on real estate loans receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. However, in the future, especially given the current market disruption, it may become probable that we will experience a loss from our investments in loans receivable requiring loan loss reserves to be recorded. Realized losses on individual loans could be material and significantly exceed any recorded reserves.
Marketable Real Estate Securities
In accordance with the standards set forth in SFAS No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, we classify our investments in marketable real estate securities as available-for-sale since we may sell them prior to their maturity but do not hold them principally for the purpose of making frequent investments and sales with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price. These investments are carried at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices, when available, or on estimates provided by independent pricing sources or dealers who make markets in such securities. Upon the sale of a security, the realized net gain or loss is computed on a specific identification basis.
65
PART I. | FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) |
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
We monitor our available-for-sale securities for impairments. A loss is recognized when we determine that a decline in the estimated fair value of a security below its amortized cost is other-than-temporary. We consider many factors in determining whether the impairment of a security is deemed to be other-than-temporary, including, but not limited to, the length of time the security has had a decline in estimated fair value below its amortized cost, the amount of the unrealized loss, our intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value, recent events specific to the issuer or industry, external credit ratings and recent changes in such ratings.
We account for our CMBS that are rated below “AA” in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force 99-20,Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets(“EITF 99-20”).Under EITF 99-20, we review on a quarterly basis, the projected future cash flows of CMBS investments for changes in assumptions due to prepayments, credit loss experience and other factors. If based on our quarterly estimate of cash flows that a market participant would use to determine the current fair value of the security, there has been an adverse change in the estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously estimated and the present value of the revised cash flow is less than the present value previously estimated, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred. When a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the security is written down to its fair value (with the reduction in fair value recorded as a charge to earnings) and a new cost basis is established. We calculate a revised yield for the security based on the current amortized cost of the investment (including any other-than-temporary impairments recognized to date) and the revised yield for the securities is then applied prospectively to recognize interest income. If there have been no adverse changes to our assumptions and the change in value is solely due to interest rate changes, we do not recognize an impairment of our CMBS investments in our consolidated statements of operations. It is difficult to predict the timing or magnitude of these other-than-temporary impairments and significant judgments, including, but not limited to, assumptions regarding estimated prepayments, loss assumptions, and assumptions with respect to changes in interest rates, are required in determining impairment. As a result, actual impairment losses could materially differ from these estimates.

We recognize minimum rent, including rental abatements and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease and amounts expected to be received in later years are recorded as deferred rent. We record property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs in the period the related expenses are incurred.
We make estimates of the collectibility of our tenant receivables related to base rents, including straight-line rentals, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, we make estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectibility of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income because a higher bad debt reserve results in less net income.
We will recognize gains on sales of real estate pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 66,Accounting for Sales of Real Estate (“SFAS 66”). The specific timing of a sale will be measured against various criteria in SFAS 66 related to the terms of the transaction and any continuing involvement associated with the property. If the criteria for profit recognition under the full-accrual method are not met, we will defer gain recognition and account for the continued operations of the property by applying the percentage-of-completion, reduced profit, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate, until the appropriate criteria are met.
Interest income from loans receivable, including any discounts and premiums, is recognized based on the contractual terms of the debt instrument. Fees related to any buydown of interest rate are deferred as prepaid interest income and amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income using the effective interest method. Closing costs related to the purchase of the loan receivable are amortized over the term of the loan and accreted as an adjustment against interest income using the effective interest method.

Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To continue to qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we intend to organize and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.
Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, we use certain types of derivative instruments for the purpose of managing or hedging interest rate risks. We have entered into various interest rate cap and floor agreements to hedge our exposure to changing interest rates on variable rate real estate loans receivable and notes payable. We account for these derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(“SFAS 133”). The change in fair value of the effective portion of a derivative instrument that is designated as a hedge is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. The changes in fair value for derivative instruments that are not designated as a hedge or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria of SFAS 133 are recorded as gain or loss on derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Net amounts received or paid under the derivative instruments are amortized as adjustments to interest income or expense, respectively, based on the fair value and intrinsic value of the related derivative instrument.
Subsequent Events
Distribution Declaration
On October 21, 2008, our board of directors declared a daily distribution for the period from November 1, 2008 through November 30, 2008, which we expect to pay in December 2008. On November 7, 2008, our board of directors declared a daily distribution for the period from December 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, which distribution we expect to pay in January 2008, and a daily distribution for the period from January 1, 2009 through January 31, 2009, which we expect to pay in February 2009. Investors may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through our dividend reinvestment plan.
Distributions are calculated based on stockholders of record each day during these periods at a rate of $0.0019178 per share per day and equal a daily amount that, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 7.0% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Our advisor has agreed to advance funds to us equal to the amount by which the cumulative amount of distributions we declare from January 1, 2006 through the period ending January 31, 2009 exceeds the amount of our funds from operations (as defined by NAREIT) from January 1, 2006 through January 31, 2009.
Investments and Financings Subsequent to September 30, 2008
Acquisition and Related Financing of Five Tower Bridge Building
On October 14, 2008, we, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, purchased an eight-story office building containing 223,726 rentable square feet (the “Five Tower Bridge Building”) from a seller unaffiliated with us or our advisor. The Five Tower Bridge Building is located on an approximate 10.3-acre parcel of land in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. The purchase price of the Five Tower Bridge Building was approximately $73.0 million plus closing costs.
We funded the acquisition with a $41.0 million mortgage loan and with proceeds from our initial public offering.
Purchase and Sale Agreement for City Gate Plaza
On October 20, 2008, we, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a seller unaffiliated with us or our advisor to purchase a five-story office building and a single-story amenities building containing a total of 105,003 rentable square feet (“City Gate Plaza”). Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, we would be obligated to purchase the property only after satisfactory completion of agreed upon closing conditions. The purchase price of City Gate Plaza is approximately $20.6 million plus closing costs. There can be no assurance that we will complete the acquisition. In some circumstances, if we fail to complete the acquisition, we may forfeit $400,000 of earnest money.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Arden Portfolio Mezzanine Loans Update
On January 30, 2008, we purchased, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, participation interests in two mezzanine loans with an aggregate face amount of $175 million related to more than 30 office properties located throughout Southern California (the office properties are the “Arden Portfolio”). The borrowers under the loans are entities affiliated with Cabi Developers (“Cabi”). At full funding, there would be approximately $1.51 billion of mortgage and mezzanine financing related to the Arden Portfolio, including the loans acquired by us.
All of the Cabi borrowers are required to contribute a pro rata portion (equal to their percentage of the total loan amount) to pay a minimum amortization payment of $150 million to the Arden Portfolio lenders on a date that is two weeks after the payment date occurring in September 2008, and on or before each payment date occurring in August of each calendar year thereafter. The amount of the annual minimum amortization payment due for a particular year is adjusted downward to the extent that the principal amount outstanding under the mortgage and mezzanine loans is paid down from the sale of assets in the Arden Portfolio. The minimum amortization payment is to be allocated pro rata to the holders of the Arden Portfolio mortgage and mezzanine loans, using a formula based on the outstanding principal amount of each loan.
The Cabi borrowers have not made the first mandatory amortization payment due under these loans. The first mandatory amortization payment was due to the Arden Portfolio mortgage and mezzanine lenders by October 6, 2008, including the additional period of time in the loan documents for payment that essentially gave the borrowers from September 23, 2008 to October 6, 2008. Cabi continues to discuss alternatives with the lenders. Earlier in the year, the Cabi borrowers had sold two assets in the Arden Portfolio, and used the proceeds from such sales and a capital contribution, to reduce the principal outstanding under the Arden Portfolio mortgage and mezzanine loans by approximately $45.0 million, thereby reducing the amount due to all lenders pursuant to the first mandatory amortization payment for 2008 from $150.0 million to approximately $105.0 million. As of October 13, 2008, all of the lenders under the mortgage and mezzanine loans have received the interest payments due under the loans.
Extension of Maturity Date on Tribeca Loans
As of September 30, 2008, we had invested an aggregate of $47.9 million in two mezzanine loans (the first in the principal amount of approximately $15.9 million and the second in the principal amount of approximately $32.0 million) (together, the “First and Second Tribeca Mezzanine Loans”) and $15.0 million in a 25% participation interest in the senior mortgage loans (the “Senior Mortgage Loans” and, collectively, the “Tribeca Loans”) related to the conversion of an eight-story loft building into a ten-story condominium building with 62 units (the “Tribeca Building”) located at 415 Greenwich Street in New York, New York.
The First and Second Tribeca Mezzanine Loans are subordinate to the Senior Mortgage Loans totaling approximately $60.0 million and a $25.0 million senior mezzanine loan.
The Tribeca Loans had an initial maturity date of May 1, 2008, each with a one-year extension option subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. On April 30, 2008, we entered into loan modification agreements with the borrower to extend the maturity date of the First and Second Tribeca Mezzanine Loans to November 1, 2008. The Senior Mortgage Loan documents and the senior mezzanine loan documents with the mortgage lender and the senior mezzanine lender, respectively, were also simultaneously modified in order to extend the maturity dates of the other Tribeca Loans to November 1, 2008, subject to certain terms, debt covenants, and loan extension fees. We are currently negotiating with the borrower and the other lenders to extend the November 1, 2008 maturity date on the loans.
As of September 30, 2008, based on total number of units available for sale, approximately 34% of the condominium units in the Tribeca Building had been sold and approximately 26% were under contracts of sale.
On September 26, 2008, the general contractor for the Tribeca Building filed a mechanics’ lien on the property for approximately $12 million. In connection with the extension of the maturity date on the loans, we are working with the borrower to remove the lien from the property.

Repurchase Agreement
On August 14, 2008, we entered into a repurchase transaction under a master repurchase agreement with Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. (“Deutsche Bank”), providing us with $22.3 million to finance our investment in $82.0 million (face amount) of investment grade securities that are backed by commercial mortgage-backed securities (the “Fixed Rate Securities”). Based on Deutsche Bank’s methodology for valuing the Fixed Rate Securities, Deutsche Bank concluded that the fair market value of the securities declined in excess of the threshold amount and made margin calls under the repurchase agreement on October 29 and October 30, 2008 and on November 3 and November 4, 2008. We met the margins calls under the repurchase agreement by making cash payments in the aggregate amount of $4.4 million. Because Deutsche Bank looks to credit spreads to determine fair market value, and because we expect credit spreads to continue to widen in the short term, we also paid an additional $2.4 million under the repurchase agreement for total payments to Deutsche Bank of $6.8 million. The amount we must repay Deutsche Bank to repurchase the Fixed Rate Securities under the repurchase agreement is reduced by these cash payments to Deutsche Bank.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to the effects of changes in interest rates on borrowings used to maintain liquidity and fund the acquisition, expansion and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate caps and floors in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

As of September 30, 2008, we had acquired, through wholly owned subsidiaries, seven mezzanine real estate loans, two B-Notes, a partial ownership interest in three mezzanine real estate loans, two first mortgage loans, a partial ownership interest in a senior mortgage loan, and two loans representing senior subordinated debt of a private REIT and had originated three mortgage loans and one mezzanine loan.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risks should be read together with the risk factors disclosed under Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The amount of cash available for distributions in future periods will be decreased by the repayment of the advance from the advisor and the payment of the advisor’s deferred asset management fee and unpaid performance fees.
Our advisor has advanced $1.6 million to us for cash distributions and expenses in excess of revenues through September 30, 2008, all of which is outstanding. Of the $1.6 million advanced from our advisor to cover distributions and expenses in excess of revenues as of September 30, 2008, no amount has been advanced since January 2007. We are obligated to reimburse our advisor on demand for the $1.6 million advance if and to the extent that our cumulative funds from operations for the period commencing January 1, 2006 through the date of any such reimbursement exceed the lesser of (i) the cumulative amount of any distributions declared and payable to our stockholders as of the date of such reimbursement or (ii) an amount that is equal to a 7.0% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on invested capital for our stockholders for the period from July 18, 2006 through the date of such reimbursement. No interest will accrue on the advance being made by the advisor.
Our advisor has deferred, without interest, the payment of approximately $2.2 million of accrued but unpaid asset management fees related to the months of July 2006 through September 2007. Although pursuant to the advisory agreement, the advisor may demand payment of accrued but unpaid asset management fees at any time, the advisor does not intend to request payment of accrued but unpaid asset management fees until our cumulative funds from operations for the period commencing January 1, 2006 plus the amount of the advance from the advisor through the date of payment of accrued but unpaid asset management fees exceed the lesser of (i) the cumulative amount of any distributions declared and payable to our stockholders as of the date of such reimbursement or (ii) an amount that is equal to a 7.0% cumulative, non-compounded, annual return on invested capital for our stockholders for the period from July 18, 2006 through the date of such payment. Based on these criteria for payment of deferred asset management fees, on October 31, 2007 we paid the advisor $1.0 million of the $3.2 million of asset management fees that had been accrued but unpaid for the months of July 2006 through September 2007. In addition, we have paid our advisor asset management fees of $12.0 million earned pursuant to the advisory agreement for services related to the months of October 2007 through September 2008. If necessary in future periods, the advisor intends to defer payment of its asset management fee if the cumulative amount of our funds from operations for the period commencing January 1, 2006 plus the amount of the advance from the advisor is less than the cumulative amount of distributions declared and currently payable to our stockholders. The amount of cash available for distributions in future periods will be decreased by the repayment of the advance from the advisor and the payment of the advisor’s accrued but unpaid asset management fee.
In addition to deferred asset management fees for the months of July 2006 through September 2007 of $2.2 million, we have incurred but unpaid performance fees totaling $2.3 million related to our joint venture investment in the National Industrial Portfolio. The performance fee is earned by the advisor only upon our meeting certain funds from operation thresholds and makes the advisor’s cumulative fees related to our investment in the National Industrial Portfolio joint venture equal to 0.75% of the cost of the joint venture investment on an annualized basis from the date of our investment in the joint venture through the date of calculation. As of September 30, 2008, our operations were sufficient to meet the funds from operations condition in the advisory agreement. Although these performance fees have been incurred as of September 30, 2008, the advisory agreement further provides that the payment of the performance fee shall only be made after the repayment of advances from the advisor discussed above. The amount of cash available for distributions in future periods will be decreased by the repayment of the advance from the advisor and the payment of our advisor’s deferred asset management fee and unpaid performance fees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors (continued)
Recent disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to service our existing indebtedness, our ability to refinance or secure additional debt financing on attractive terms and the values of our investments.
The capital and credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for more than 15 months. Liquidity in the global credit market has been severely contracted by these market disruptions, making it costly to obtain new lines of credit or refinance existing debt. We have relied on debt financing to finance our properties. As a result of the ongoing credit market turmoil, we may not be able to refinance our existing indebtedness or to obtain additional debt financing on attractive terms. If we are not able to refinance existing indebtedness on attractive terms at its maturity, we may be forced to dispose of some of our assets.
The disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions could adversely affect the values of our investments. Turmoil in the capital markets has constrained equity and debt capital available for investment in commercial real estate, resulting in fewer buyers seeking to acquire commercial properties and possible increases in cap rates and lower property values. Furthermore, these deteriorating economic conditions could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values in our real estate portfolio and in the collateral securing our loan investments. These could have the following negative effects on us:
| • | | the values of our investments in commercial properties could decrease below the amounts paid for such investments; |
| • | | the value of collateral securing our loan investments could decrease below the outstanding principal amounts of such loans; |
| • | | revenues from our properties could decrease due to fewer tenants and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to pay dividends or meet our debt service obligations on debt financing; and/ or |
| • | | revenues on the properties and other assets underlying our loan investments could decrease, making it more difficult for borrowers to meet their payment obligations to us. |
The current capital market and general economic conditions also heighten risks with respect to our borrowings under repurchase agreements. If the value of the collateral underlying a repurchase agreement decreases, we may be required to provide additional collateral or make cash payments to maintain the loan to collateral value ratio. In addition, and unlike traditional secured financings, should a counterparty under a repurchase agreement file for bankruptcy, we may have to spend time and money asserting claims to the assets serving as the collateral under the repurchase agreement.
All of these factors could impair our ability to make distributions to our investors and decrease the value of an investment in us.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
| a) | During the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. |
| b) | On January 13, 2006, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-126087), covering a public offering of up to 280,000,000 shares of common stock, was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933. The offering commenced on January 27, 2006. We ceased offering shares of common stock in our primary offering of up to 200,000,000 shares on May 30, 2008 and terminated the offering upon the completion of review of subscriptions submitted in accordance with our processing procedures. We are continuing to offer shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan and may do so until we have sold all 80,000,000 shares. |
We offered the 200,000,000 shares in our primary offering at an aggregate offering price of up to $2.0 billion, or $10.00 per share with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers. The 80,000,000 shares offered under our dividend reinvestment plan are initially being offered at an aggregate offering price of $760.0 million, or $9.50 per share. KBS Capital Markets Group LLC, an affiliate of our advisor, is the dealer manager of our offering.
As of September 30, 2008, including shares sold through our dividend reinvestment plan, we had sold 176,767,285 shares for gross offering proceeds of $1.76 billion. As of September 30, 2008, we had redeemed 687,564 of the shares sold in our public offering pursuant to our share redemption program for approximately $6.6 million. At September 30, 2008, we had incurred selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs in the amounts set forth below (in thousands). The dealer manager reallowed all of the selling commissions and a portion of the dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers.
| | | | | |
Type of Expense Amount | | Amount | | Estimated/Actual |
Selling commissions and dealer manager fees | | $ | 155,835 | | Actual |
Finders’ fees | | | - | | |
Expenses paid to or for underwriters | | | - | | |
Organization and other offering costs | | | 16,411 | | Actual |
| | | | | |
Total expenses | | $ | 172,246 | | Actual |
| | | | | |
From the commencement of our initial public offering through September 30, 2008, the net offering proceeds to us, after deducting the total expenses incurred as described above, were $1.6 billion, including net offering proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan of $47.1 million, which are available for the purchase of shares under our share redemption program. We have used the net proceeds from our initial public offering and debt financing to purchase or fund $3.0 billion of real estate and real estate-related investments, including $34.0 million in acquisition fees and closing costs.
| c) | We have adopted a share redemption program that may enable investors to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances. |
There are several limitations on our ability to redeem shares:
| • | | Unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death or “qualifying disability” (as defined under the program), we may not redeem shares until they have been outstanding for one year. |
| • | | Our share redemption program limits the number of shares we may redeem to those that we could purchase with the net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year. |
| • | | During any calendar year, we may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. |
| • | | We have no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. |
We may amend, suspend or terminate the program upon 30 days’ notice.

August 2008 | | 71,275 | | $9.53 | | (3) |
September 2008 | | 94,787 | | $9.34 | | (3) |
| | | | | | |
Total | | 592,304 | | | | |
| | | | | | |
(1) We announced commencement of the program on April 6, 2006 and amendments to the program on August 16, 2006 (which amendment became effective on December 14, 2006), August 1, 2007 (which amendment became effective on September 13, 2007) and August 14, 2008 (which amendment became effective on September 13, 2008).
(2) Pursuant to the program, as amended, we currently redeem shares as follows:
| • | | The lower of $9.25 or 92.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares from us for stockholders who have held their shares for at least one year; |
| • | | The lower of $9.50 or 95.0% of the price paid to acquire the shares from us for stockholders who have held their shares for at least two years; |
| • | | The lower of $9.75 or 97.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares from us for stockholders who have held their shares for at least three years; and |
| • | | The lower of $10.00 or 100% of the price paid to acquire the shares from us for stockholders who have held their shares for at least four years. |
| • | | Notwithstanding the above, upon the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder, the redemption price would be the amount paid to acquire the shares from us. |
Once we establish an estimated value per share of our common stock, the redemption price per share for all stockholders will be equal to the estimated value per share, as determined by our advisor or another firm chosen for that purpose. We expect to establish an estimated value per share beginning three years after the completion of our offering stage. We will consider our offering stage complete when we are no longer publicly offering equity securities and have not done so for one year.
(3) We limit the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the program as described above.
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities
None.
