KBS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2012
(unaudited)
KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on June 13, 2005 as a Maryland corporation and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and the Company conducts substantially all of its operations through, KBS Limited Partnership, a Delaware 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, a Delaware limited liability company (“KBS REIT Holdings”), owns the remaining 1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and is its sole limited partner.
The Company owns a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. As of March 31, 2012, the Company owned 873 real estate properties (of which 243 properties were held for sale), including the GKK Properties (defined below). In addition, as of March 31, 2012, the Company owned four real estate loans receivable, a preferred membership interest in a real estate joint venture, a participation interest with respect to another real estate joint venture and a 10-story condominium building with 62 units acquired through foreclosure, of which three condominium units, two retail spaces and parking spaces have not been sold and are held for sale.
On September 1, 2011, the Company, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “KBS”), entered into a Collateral Transfer and Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with, among other parties, GKK Stars Acquisition LLC (“GKK Stars”), the wholly owned subsidiary of Gramercy Capital Corp. (“Gramercy”) that indirectly owned the Gramercy real estate portfolio, to effect the orderly transfer of certain assets and liabilities of the Gramercy real estate portfolio to KBS in satisfaction of certain debt obligations owed by wholly owned subsidiaries of Gramercy to KBS. The Settlement Agreement resulted in the transfer of the equity interests in certain subsidiaries of Gramercy (the “Equity Interests”) that indirectly own or, with respect to a limited number of properties, hold a leasehold interest in, 867 properties (the “GKK Properties”), including 576 bank branch properties and 291 office buildings, operations centers and other properties. As of December 15, 2011, GKK Stars had transferred all of the Equity Interests to the Company, giving the Company title to or, with respect to a limited number of GKK Properties, a leasehold interest in, 867 GKK Properties as of that date. For further discussion of the Settlement Agreement and the transfers of the GKK Properties, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
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, as amended, with the Company (the “Advisory Agreement”) in effect through November 8, 2012. 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.
Upon commencing its initial public offering (the “Offering”), the Company retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Advisor, to serve as the dealer manager of the Offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement dated January 27, 2006 (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”).

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, except for the presentation of other comprehensive income (loss). In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU No. 2011-05”). ASU No. 2011-05 requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The Company elected to present comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements as part of its consolidated financial statements. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the FASB ASC and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.
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 noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company evaluates the need to consolidate joint ventures and 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.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s projected cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to cover capital expenditures, amortization payment requirements on debt obligations and principal pay-down requirements for debt obligations at maturity or to allow the Company to meet the conditions for extension of loans, therefore requiring the Company to sell assets in order to meet capital requirements. If the Company’s cash flow from operations continues to deteriorate, the Company will be more dependent on asset sales to fund operations and for liquidity needs. Moreover, the Company may be unable to meet financial and operating covenants in debt obligations, and its lenders may take action against the Company. These factors could also have a material adverse effect on the Company and its stockholders’ return.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto 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. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had classified 250 properties as held for sale, of which 247 properties were GKK Properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company disposed of 18 properties (including 15 GKK Properties), all of which were held for sale as of December 31, 2011. In addition, the Company classified an additional 11 properties (including six GKK Properties) as held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2012. As a result, certain reclassifications were made to the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and footnote disclosures for all periods presented.
Per Share Data
Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders 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 months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Distributions declared per common share assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day from January 1, 2012 through February 28, 2012 and during the three months ended March 31, 2011. For the period from January 1, 2012 through February 28, 2012 and for the three months ended March 31, 2011, distributions were based on daily record dates and calculated at a rate of $0.00143836 per share per day. Each day during the periods from January 1, 2012 through February 28, 2012 and January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011 was a record date for distributions.
Industry Segments
The Company’s segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting which classifies its operations by investment type: (i) real estate, (ii) real estate-related and (iii) commercial properties primarily leased to financial institutions received under the Settlement Agreement. For financial data by segment, see Note 14, “Segment Information.”

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate-a Scope Clarification (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU No. 2011-10”). ASU No. 2011-10 clarifies when a parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of a default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance for Real Estate Sale (Subtopic 360-20). For public companies, the provisions of ASU No. 2011-10 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU No. 2011-10 will have a material impact to 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 March 31, 2012, the Company’s leases, excluding options to extend, had remaining terms of up to 14.9 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 8.0 years. As of March 31, 2012, leases related to the GKK Properties, excluding options to extend, have remaining terms of up to 14.9 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 9.1 years. The leases 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. Additionally, the Company has assumed several leases related to the GKK Properties which contain shedding right provisions. As of March 31, 2012, these shedding rights totaled approximately 1.1 million square feet and can be exercised at various dates during 2012-2017. The Company has already been notified that 0.3 million square feet will be shed in 2012, pursuant to these provisions. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires a security deposit from tenants in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. Amounts required as a security deposit 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 receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $4.3 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants of $2.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. These excess amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were net of $0.1 million and $0.1 million of lease incentive amortization, respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the cumulative deferred rent balance was $24.1 million and $21.6 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included $5.2 million of unamortized lease incentives as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company records 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.
The future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under non-cancelable operating leases as of March 31, 2012 for the years ending December 31 is as follows (in thousands):

The Company currently has approximately 600 tenants over a diverse range of industries and geographical regions. As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had a bad debt reserve of $5.0 million, respectively, which represents approximately 2% of annualized base rent. The Company’s bad debt reserve included $4.0 million related to the GKK Properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company reduced its bad debt reserve and recorded a net recovery of bad debt related to its tenant receivables of $33,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded bad debt expense related to its tenant receivables of $0.1 million.

Geographic Concentration Risk
As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s net investments in real estate in North Carolina represented 11.3% of the Company’s total assets. As a result, the geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in North Carolina’s real estate market. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in this market, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.
Impairment of Real Estate
Due to changes in cash flow estimates and hold periods, the Company has recognized non-cash impairment charges to write-down the carrying value of certain of its real estate investments to their estimated fair values. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.4 million with respect to one of its real estate properties held for investment. See Note 7, “Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations,” for information regarding impairments of assets related to real estate held for sale.

The Company generally recognizes income on impaired loans on either a cash basis, where interest income is only recorded when received in cash, or on a cost-recovery basis, where all cash receipts are applied against the carrying value of the loan. The Company will resume the accrual of interest if it determines the collection of interest according to the contractual terms of the loan is probable. The Company considers the collectibility of the loan’s principal balance in determining whether to recognize income on impaired loans on a cash basis or a cost-recovery basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized $0.1 million of interest income related to impaired loans with asset-specific reserves. Additionally, as of March 31, 2012, the Company had interest income receivable of $0.1 million related to its impaired loan.

8. | FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE |
In 2006 and 2007, the Company originally made three debt investments (collectively, the “Tribeca Loans”) related to the conversion of an eight-story loft building into a 10-story condominium building with 62 units (the “Tribeca Building”) located at 415 Greenwich Street in New York, New York. On February 19, 2010, the borrowers under the Tribeca Loans defaulted and the Company foreclosed on the Tribeca Building by exercising its right to accept 100% of the ownership interest of the borrowers. The Company acquired the remaining unsold condominium units of the Tribeca Building and assumed the project liabilities. The Company recorded the Tribeca Building at fair value using a discounted cash flow valuation model based on the net realizable value (expected sales price less estimated costs to sell the unsold units) of the real estate.
As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s investment in the Tribeca Building consisted of three condominium units, two retail spaces and parking spaces with a carrying value of $26.2 million and is presented as foreclosed real estate held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company sold one condominium unit of the Tribeca Building and recognized a gain on sale of $0.1 million and recorded expenses of $0.8 million related to foreclosed real estate held for sale. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company sold three condominium units of the Tribeca Building and recognized a gain on sale of $51,000 and recorded expenses of $0.6 million related to foreclosed real estate held for sale.

Furthermore, a default on the Goldman Mortgage Loan may constitute a default under the Amended Repurchase Agreements and under certain conditions, the Company may be required to transfer the equity interests in the mortgage borrowers that own the properties securing the Goldman Mortgage Loan to the GKK Lenders (defined below) to avoid a default under the Amended Repurchase Agreements. The carrying value of the properties securing the Goldman Mortgage Loan was $219.5 million as of March 31, 2012.

Debt Covenants and Requirements under Amended Repurchase Agreements
The documents evidencing the Company’s debt obligations typically require that specified loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios be maintained with respect to the financed properties. A breach of the financial covenants in these documents may result in the lender imposing additional restrictions on the Company’s operations, such as restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur debt, or may allow the lender to impose “cash traps” with respect to cash flow from the property securing the loan. In addition, such a breach may constitute an event of default and the lender could require the Company to repay the debt immediately. If the Company fails to make such repayment in a timely manner, the lender may be entitled to take possession of any property securing the loan.
As of March 31, 2012, the Company and/or its subsidiaries that are the borrowers under the loan and security documents were in compliance with the financial covenants in such documents included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, except that, as of March 31, 2012, the borrowers under two mortgage loans that the Company assumed pursuant to the Settlement Agreement were out of debt service coverage compliance. The loans had outstanding principal balances of $205.2 million (the “BBD2 Loan”) and $13.6 million (the “Jenkins Loan”), respectively, as of March 31, 2012. Such non-compliance does not constitute an event of default under the applicable loan and security documents of either loan. However, as a result of such non-compliance, under the BBD2 Loan, the lender has imposed a “cash trap” to restrict distributions to the Company to the budgeted property operating expenses and requires lender consent regarding the release of properties securing the loan, and under the Jenkins Loan, the lender has also imposed a “cash trap” and has the right to replace the property manager of the property.
The loan agreements and security documents relating to the FSI 6000A, FSI 6000B, FSI 6000C, FSI 6000D and 801 Market Street loans contain provisions that prohibit the pledge of certain Equity Interests in the mortgage borrowers or their direct or indirect owners. As a result of the transfers under the Settlement Agreement and the Company’s subsequent pledge of certain Equity Interests as security for certain of the Company’s repurchase agreements, the lenders under these mortgage loans may view certain pledges as being prohibited. If they do, they may attempt to exercise certain remedies detailed in the respective loan and security documents, including without limitation, accelerating the outstanding amount under each mortgage loan or foreclosing on the underlying properties securing the mortgage loans. As of March 31, 2012, the total outstanding debt on these five loans was $147.4 million.

In connection with the restructuring of its former investment in the GKK Mezzanine Loan, on April 28, 2011, the Company, through certain indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “KBS GKK”), amended and restated its repurchase agreements which were secured by its former investment in the GKK Mezzanine Loan. The Company further amended the Amended Repurchase Agreements on September 1, 2011 in connection with the Settlement Agreement. The Amended Repurchase Agreements are currently secured by, among other things, the equity interests in the owners of and the holders of leasehold interests in, the GKK Properties that were transferred to the Company pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. The Amended Repurchase Agreements bear interest at an annual rate of 350 basis points over one-month LIBOR. In addition to monthly interest payments under the terms of the Amended Repurchase Agreements, the Company was and is required to make certain mandatory payments to the lenders under the Amended Repurchase Agreements (the “GKK Lenders”) as follows:
| |
(i) | on October 15, 2011, the Company made an amortization payment of $35 million; |
| |
(ii) | every three months from January 15, 2012 through April 2013, the Company was and is required to make additional amortization payments of approximately $24.3 million, which payments may be decreased by any prepayments of principal, including any mandatory or voluntary prepayments of principal; |
| |
(iii) | on October 15, 2011, the Company made payments relating to the acquisition of certain loans which were directly or indirectly secured by the GKK Properties in the amount of $1.6 million, and the Company was and is required to make payments in the amount of $1.1 million every three months thereafter through April 2013; and |
| |
(iv) | the Company is required to pay 75% to 100% of excess cash flows or net cash proceeds from: (a) the operations of the GKK Properties, net of debt service and capital reserves; (b) the sale of the GKK Properties; (c) the sale of certain real estate-related debt investments owned by the Company; (d) the sale of substantially all other properties owned by the Company, in excess of $75 million in the aggregate in any calendar year; and (e) certain indebtedness incurred or equity issued (excluding proceeds from the Company's dividend reinvestment plan, which terminated effective April 10, 2012) by the Company. |
As of March 31, 2012, the Amended Repurchase Agreements had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $77.7 million. The Company may voluntarily prepay amounts outstanding under the Amended Repurchase Agreements without prepayment penalties.
The Amended Repurchase Agreements require KBS GKK and its subsidiaries, and the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that indirectly own most of its assets (collectively, the “Guarantors”), to meet certain financial and other covenants, which include, among other covenants, the requirement for the Guarantors to maintain minimum liquidity of $19.0 million. The Guarantors have guaranteed, and other of the Company's subsidiaries as may be added in the future will guarantee, all amounts owed by KBS GKK to the GKK Lenders under the Amended Repurchase Agreements. The Company also agreed that, unless permitted by or pursuant to the terms of the Amended Repurchase Agreements, during the term of the Amended Repurchase Agreements the Company would not create or incur additional liens or indebtedness on its assets, make additional investments, or make certain dispositions except pursuant to the mandatory payment provisions discussed above. During the term of the Amended Repurchase Agreements, the Company also agreed (i) except for distributions to stockholders necessary to maintain its REIT status, to limit distributions to stockholders to an amount not to exceed $6.0 million per month, excluding any distributions to stockholders reinvested in the Company pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan (which terminated effective April 10, 2012), and (ii) to continue to limit redemptions under the share redemption program to those redemptions sought upon a stockholder's death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program).
In connection with its execution of the Settlement Agreement, KBS GKK agreed that a default by the Company on any of the five loans specified in the Amended Repurchase Agreements (a “Mortgage Default”), which loans are secured by the GKK Properties, may, in certain circumstances, constitute a default under the Amended Repurchase Agreements. Under certain conditions, a Mortgage Default would not trigger a default under the Amended Repurchase Agreements if the Company were to transfer the equity interests in the owner of the property subject to the Mortgage Default to the GKK Lenders.

Recent Financing Transactions
Crescent Green Bridge Loan
On February 1, 2012, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a bridge loan with an unaffiliated lender for $27.5 million secured by the Crescent Green Buildings (the “Crescent Green Bridge Loan”). The proceeds from the Crescent Green Bridge Loan were used to repay an existing mortgage loan secured by the Crescent Green Buildings. The Crescent Green Bridge Loan matures on February 1, 2014 and bears interest at a variable rate of 300 basis points over one-month LIBOR. Monthly payments on the Crescent Green Bridge Loan include principal and interest with principal payments equal to $1.1 million.
Extension of the FSI Loan
On March 30, 2012, the Company, through certain indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “FSI Borrowers”), entered into an amendment to its loan agreement (as amended, the “FSI Loan Agreement”) with Gramercy Investment Trust, which entity is not affiliated with the Company or the FSI Borrowers. Pursuant to the FSI Loan Agreement, the maturity date of the loan evidenced by the FSI Loan Agreement was extended until December 11, 2013, which date may be extended by the FSI Borrowers until January 11, 2014, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the FSI Loan Agreement. Additionally, the FSI Borrowers may, at their option, further extend the maturity date of the loan until December 11, 2014 or January 11, 2015, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the FSI Loan Agreement. As of March 31, 2012, the principal outstanding balance of this loan was approximately $61.5 million and the contractual interest rate was LIBOR plus 3.00%, but at no point shall interest rate be less than 6.50%. Monthly payments on this loan are interest-only, with the entire principal amount, plus any outstanding interest and fees, due at maturity.

10. | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS |
The Company enters into derivative instruments for risk management purposes to hedge its exposure to cash flow variability caused by changing interest rates on its variable rate real estate loans receivable and notes payable. The primary goal of the Company’s risk management practices related to interest rate risk is to prevent changes in interest rates from adversely impacting the Company’s ability to achieve its investment return objectives. When the Company purchases or originates a variable rate debt instrument for investment, or obtains variable rate financing, it considers several factors in determining whether or not to use a derivative instrument to hedge the related interest rate risk. These factors include the Company’s return objectives, the expected life of the investment, the expected life of the financing instrument, interest rates, costs to purchase hedging instruments, the terms of the debt investment, the terms of the financing instrument, the overall interest rate risk exposure of the Company, and other factors.
The Company enters into interest rate swaps as a fixed rate payer to mitigate its exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. The value of interest rate swaps is primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of the fixed rate payer position and decrease the value of the variable rate payer position. As the remaining life of the interest rate swap decreases, the value of both positions will generally move towards zero. All of the Company’s derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges.
The following table summarizes the notional and fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The notional value is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in each instrument at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks (dollars in thousands):

Interest Rate Swap | | 07/11/2008 | | 07/11/2012 | | $ | 39,679 |
| | | One-month LIBOR/Fixed at 3.82% | | $ | (397 | ) | | $ | (718 | ) |
Interest Rate Swap | | 02/05/2009 | | 03/01/2013 | | 34,275 |
| (1) | | One-month LIBOR/Fixed at 2.26% | | (615 | ) | | (745 | ) |
Total derivatives designated as hedging instruments | | | | | | $ | 73,954 |
| | | | | $ | (1,012 | ) | | $ | (1,463 | ) |
_____________________(1) The notional value of this interest rate swap was $45.7 million prior to March 1, 2012.
Asset derivatives are recorded as deferred financing costs, prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and liability derivatives are recorded as other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair value of the effective portion of a derivative instrument that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated statements of equity. The Company recorded unrealized gains of $0.5 million and $1.3 million on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amounts in other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged cash flow. As a result of utilizing derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges to hedge variable rate notes payable and repurchase agreements, the Company recognized an additional $0.6 million and $1.3 million of interest expense related to the effective portion of cash flow hedges during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion is recognized directly in earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there was no ineffective portion related to the change in fair value of the cash flow hedges. During the next twelve months, the Company expects to recognize additional interest expense related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges. The present value of this additional interest expense totaled $1.0 million as of March 31, 2012 and is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

11. | FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES |
Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are 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. |
The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and for which markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments for which markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of each class of assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rent and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities: These balances reasonably approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
Pledged government securities: In connection with the Settlement Agreement, the Company received a portfolio of treasury securities that is pledged to provide a portion of the principal and interest payments for mortgage debt secured by certain GKK Properties. These securities are classified as held to maturity and are presented on an amortized cost basis and not at fair value. The fair values were based upon valuations obtained from dealers of those securities, and accordingly, the Company classified these inputs as Level 2 inputs.
Real estate loans receivable: These instruments are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at their amortized cost net of recorded loan loss reserves and not at fair value. The fair values of real estate loans receivable were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected cash flows for the loans, underlying collateral values (for collateral-dependent loans) and estimated yield requirements of institutional investors for loans with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.

Derivative instruments: These instruments are presented at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The valuation of these instruments is determined by a third-party expert using a proprietary model that utilizes observable inputs. As such, the Company classifies these inputs as Level 2 inputs. The proprietary model uses the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and volatility. The fair values of interest rate swaps, caps and floors are estimated using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash payments (receipts). The variable cash payments (receipts) are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk. The fair value of interest rate caps (floors) are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash payments (receipts) which would occur if variable interest rates rise above (below) the strike rate of the caps (floors). The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected payments (receipts) on the cap (floor) are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate curves and volatilities.
Notes payable and repurchase agreements: The fair values of the Company’s notes payable and repurchase agreements are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.
The following were the face values, carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, which carrying amounts do not approximate the fair values (in thousands):

The actual value of these investments could be materially different from the Company’s estimate of value.

_____________________(1) Represents amount at the time the event occurred.
The Company estimates the fair value of impaired real estate by using a 10-year discounted cash flow analysis. The cash flow analysis utilizes internally prepared cash flow estimates, terminal capitalization rates within historical average ranges and discount rates that fall within ranges the Company believes are used by market participants. The Company estimates the fair value of impaired real estate held for sale based on its estimated sales price less costs to sell.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized an impairment loss on one real estate property held for investment and adjusted the real estate and related assets to fair value. The Company determined the fair value of impaired real estate by performing a 10-year discounted cash flow analysis and the estimated fair value was supported by a third-party appraisal. The table below sets forth quantitative assumptions about significant unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value of impaired real estate:
|
| | | |
Significant Unobservable Inputs | | Value |
Terminal capitalization rate | | 8.4 | % |
Discount rate | | 10.0 | % |
Annual market rent growth rate | | 2.9 | % |
Annual net operating income growth rate | | 2.8 | % |
Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs would result in a significant change in the fair value of the real estate.

The Company presently operates in three business segments based on its investment types: real estate, real estate-related and commercial properties primarily leased to financial institutions received under the Settlement Agreement, or the GKK Properties. Under the real estate segment, the Company has invested primarily in office and industrial properties located throughout the United States. The real estate segment excludes all real estate sold or held for sale as of March 31, 2012. Under the real estate-related segment, the Company has invested in or originated mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and other real estate-related assets, including mortgage-backed securities and preferred membership interest investments. The GKK Properties segment excludes GKK Properties sold or held for sale but includes the other GKK Properties held as a result of the indirect transfers under the Settlement Agreement of primarily office properties, bank branch properties and operations centers located in 32 states. All revenues earned from the Company’s three reporting segments were from external customers and there were no intersegment sales or transfers. The Company does not allocate corporate-level accounts to its reporting segments. Corporate-level accounts include corporate general and administrative expenses, non-operating interest income and other corporate-level expenses. The accounting policies of the reporting segments are consistent with those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based upon net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”), which is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure. The Company defines NOI for its real estate segment and the GKK Properties segment as operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements and other operating income) less property and related expenses (property operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance, asset management fees and provision for bad debt) less interest expense. The Company defines NOI for its real estate-related segment as interest income and income from its unconsolidated joint venture investment less loan servicing costs, asset management fees and interest expense. NOI excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of an asset such as non-property income and expenses, depreciation and amortization, and corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company uses NOI to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s real estate investments, real estate-related investments and the GKK Properties segment and to make decisions about resource allocations. The Company believes that net income is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to NOI; however, NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of operating performance as it excludes the items described above. Additionally, NOI as defined above may not be comparable to other REITs or companies as their definitions of NOI may differ from the Company’s definition.

Lease Obligations
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company indirectly received leasehold interests in certain commercial properties. The property leases have expiration dates between 2012 and 2085 and the ground leases have expiration dates between 2012 and 2101. These lease obligations generally contain rent increases and renewal options. In certain instances, the rent owed by the Company to the owner of the property under the lease is greater than the revenue received by the Company from the tenants occupying the properties.
Future minimum lease payments owed by the Company under non-cancelable operating leases as of March 31, 2012 are as follows (in thousands):
|
| | | |
April 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 | $ | 15,094 |

Economic Dependency
The Company is dependent on the Advisor for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the management of the Company’s real estate and real estate-related investment portfolio; the disposition of real estate and real estate-related investments; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that the Advisor is unable to provide these services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources. The Company is also dependent on the Property Manager for the Services under the Services Agreement, including the operations, leasing and eventual dispositions of the GKK Properties.

Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Although there can be no assurance, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities.
Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company indirectly took title to or, with respect to a limited number of the GKK Properties, indirectly took a leasehold interest in, the GKK Properties on an “as is” basis. As such, the Company was not able to inspect the GKK Properties or conduct standard due diligence on certain of the GKK Properties before the Transfers. Additionally, the Company did not receive representations, warranties and indemnities relating to the GKK Properties from Gramercy and/or its affiliates. Thus, the value of the GKK Properties may decline if the Company subsequently discovers environmental problems with the GKK Properties.
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 probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and possible range of loss. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.
The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Disposition of Properties Subsequent to March 31, 2012
Subsequent to March 31, 2012 and through May 9, 2012, the Company sold 20 of the GKK Properties, which were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2012, consisting of 16 bank branch properties and four office properties for $30.9 million (net of selling costs), which resulted in net sales proceeds of $7.2 million after the repayment of debt outstanding and the funding of required lender reserves under certain mortgage portfolios. The net sales proceeds from the sales of the GKK Properties were used to repay debt outstanding under the Amended Repurchase Agreements.
AIP Fee Reimbursement Agreement
On April 19, 2012, the Company entered into a fee reimbursement agreement with the Dealer Manager pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the Dealer Manager for certain fees and expenses it incurs for administering the Company’s participation in the DTCC Alternative Investment Product Platform (the “AIP Platform”) with respect to certain accounts of the Company’s investors serviced through the AIP Platform.

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 of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
| |
• | We are the first publicly offered investment program sponsored by the affiliates of our advisor, KBS Capital Advisors LLC, which makes our future performance difficult to predict. Our stockholders should not assume that our performance will be similar to the past performance of other real estate investment programs sponsored by affiliates of our advisor. |
| |
• | All of our executive officers and some of our directors and other key real estate and debt finance professionals are also officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, the entity that acted as our dealer manager and other KBS-affiliated entities. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other KBS-advised programs and investors and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions. |
| |
• | We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from our properties could decrease due to a reduction in tenants (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases) and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and limiting our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. |
| |
• | Our projected cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to cover our capital expenditures, amortization payment requirements on our debt obligations and principal pay-down requirements for our debt obligations at maturity or to allow us to meet the conditions for extension of our loans, therefore, requiring us to sell assets in order to meet our capital requirements. If our cash flow from operations continues to deteriorate, we will be more dependent on asset sales to fund our operations and for our liquidity needs. Moreover, we may be unable to meet financial and operating covenants in our debt obligations, and our lenders may take action against us. These factors could also have a material adverse effect on us and our stockholders’ return. |
| |
• | 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 our assets sooner than we otherwise would. We may not have sufficient liquidity from our operations to fund our future capital needs and, as a result of the debt we assumed in relation to the GKK Properties (defined in “— Overview”), we presently have extremely limited additional borrowing capacity. Additionally, our repurchase agreements and/ or some of our other debt, including debt we assumed in connection with the transfers of the GKK Properties under the Settlement Agreement (defined in “— Overview”), contain restrictive covenants relating to our operations, our ability to incur additional debt and our ability to declare distributions. |
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
| |
• | Our investments in real estate and mortgage, mezzanine, B-Notes and other loans as well as our investments in real estate securities may be affected by unfavorable real estate market and general economic conditions, which could decrease the value of those assets and reduce the investment return to our stockholders. Revenues from our real property investments could decrease, making it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations. Revenues from the properties and other assets directly securing our loan investments and underlying our investments in real estate securities could decrease, making it more difficult for the borrower to meet its payment obligations to us. In addition, decreases in revenues from the properties directly securing our loan investments and underlying our investments in real estate securities could result in decreased valuations for those properties, which could make it difficult for our borrowers to repay or refinance their obligations to us. These factors could make it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and reduce our stockholders’ return. |
| |
• | Continued disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions could adversely affect the value of our investments. |
| |
• | Certain of our debt obligations have variable interest rates with interest and related payments that vary with the movement of LIBOR or other indexes. Increases in the indexes could increase the amount of our debt payments and reduce our stockholders’ return. |
| |
• | We have amended and restated our share redemption program to provide only for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program). The dollar amounts available for such redemptions are determined by the board of directors and may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time. Additionally, redemptions are further subject to limitations described in the share redemption program. We currently do not expect to have funds available for ordinary redemptions in the future. |
| |
• | We may not be able to successfully operate and sell the GKK Properties transferred under the Settlement Agreement given current economic conditions and the concentration of the GKK Properties in the financial services sector, the significant debt obligations we have assumed with respect to such GKK Properties, and our advisor’s limited experience operating, managing and selling bank branch properties. Moreover, we depend upon GKK Realty Advisors LLC (the “Property Manager”) to manage and conduct the operations of the GKK Properties and any adverse changes in or termination of our relationship with the Property Manager could hinder the performance of the GKK Properties and the return on our stockholders’ investment. |
| |
• | As a result of the GKK Properties transferred under the Settlement Agreement, a significant portion of our properties will be leased to financial institutions, making us more economically vulnerable in the event of a downturn in the banking industry. |
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Overview
We are a Maryland corporation that was formed on June 13, 2005 to invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate properties and real estate-related investments. We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2006 and we intend to operate in such a manner. We own substantially all of our assets and conduct our operations through our Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is managed by KBS Capital Advisors LLC (“KBS Capital Advisors”), our external advisor, pursuant to an advisory agreement. Our advisor owns 20,000 shares of our common stock. We have no paid employees.
On January 27, 2006, we launched our initial public offering of up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock in our primary offering and 80,000,000 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan. We ceased offering shares of common stock in our primary offering on May 30, 2008. The dividend reinvestment plan terminated effective April 10, 2012. We sold 171,109,494 shares in our primary offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.7 billion and, as of March 31, 2012, we had sold 28,306,199 shares under our now terminated dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $233.7 million.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
As of March 31, 2012, we owned 873 real estate properties (of which 243 properties were held for sale), including the GKK Properties. In addition, as of March 31, 2012, we owned four real estate loans receivable, a preferred membership interest in a real estate joint venture, a participation interest with respect to another real estate joint venture and a 10-story condominium building with 62 units acquired through foreclosure, of which three condominium units, two retail spaces and parking spaces were owned by us and were held for sale.
On September 1, 2011, we, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “KBS”), entered into a Collateral Transfer and Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with, among other parties, GKK Stars Acquisition LLC (“GKK Stars”), the wholly owned subsidiary of Gramercy Capital Corp. (“Gramercy”) that indirectly owned the Gramercy real estate portfolio, to effect the orderly transfer of certain assets and liabilities of the Gramercy real estate portfolio to KBS in satisfaction of certain debt obligations owed by wholly owned subsidiaries of Gramercy to KBS. The Settlement Agreement resulted in the transfer of the equity interests in certain subsidiaries of Gramercy (the “Equity Interests”) that indirectly own or, with respect to a limited number of properties, hold a leasehold interest in, 867 properties (the “GKK Properties”), including 576 bank branch properties and 291 office buildings, operations centers and other properties. As of December 15, 2011, GKK Stars had transferred all of the Equity Interests to us, giving us title to or, with respect to a limited number of GKK Properties, a leasehold interest in, 867 GKK Properties as of that date. For a further discussion of the Settlement Agreement, the transfers of the GKK Properties and the debt related to these properties, including our repurchase agreement debt, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC.
Our focus in 2012 is to manage our existing investment portfolio and our debt service obligations. To the extent we receive proceeds from the sale of properties or the repayment of real estate-related investments in 2012, we are required under existing financing agreements to use a majority of these funds to pay down debt and maintain a liquidity reserve.
Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets
During the past four years, there have been significant and widespread concerns about credit risk, both corporate and sovereign, and access to capital in the U.S. and global capital markets. Economies throughout the world have experienced lingering levels of high unemployment and low levels of consumer and business confidence due to a global downturn in economic activity. While some markets have shown some signs of recovery, concerns remain regarding job growth, income growth and the overall health of consumers and businesses. Recent global economic events remain centered on the potential for the default of European sovereign debt and the impact that such an event would have on the rest of the world’s financial markets. During 2011, Standard and Poor’s downgraded the credit rating of the United States to AA+ from AAA. Moody’s recently downgraded Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece and placed the UK and France on negative watch. These events have led to increased volatility in the capital markets.
In this environment, the health of the global capital markets remains a concern. The banking industry has been experiencing improved earnings, but the relatively low growth economic environment has caused the markets to question whether financial institutions are adequately capitalized. The credit downgrade of the United States has increased these concerns, especially for the larger, money center banks. Smaller financial institutions have continued to work with borrowers to amend and extend existing loans; however, as these loans reach maturity, there is the potential for future credit losses.
In Europe, the unresolved sovereign debt crisis remains a concern. Some European banks hold material quantities of sovereign debt on their balance sheets. The possible default or restructuring of the sovereign debt obligations of certain European Union countries and the resulting negative impact on the global banking system is a significant concern. The uncertainty surrounding the size of the problem and how regulators and governments intend to deal with the situation has caused many investors to reassess their pricing of risks. In response to the growing crisis the global credit markets have tightened, and the cost of capital, in general, has begun to increase.
Throughout the financial crisis and economic downturn, U.S. commercial real estate transactions experienced a sharp decline in volume. Very little market activity (buying or selling) took place in 2009 and the first half of 2010. In the second half of 2010 and the first half of 2011, the markets experienced a rebound in transaction activity. High-quality assets in primary (top-tier) markets experienced the largest increase in transaction volume. The second half of 2011, however, witnessed a significant slowdown in the level of market activity. Uncertainty in areas such as the cost of capital, and the ability to hedge asset risks, produced enough friction to bring transaction volumes down. However, toward the end of December and the beginning of the first quarter of 2012, the U.S. commercial real estate markets showed signs of recovery and increased transaction volumes.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
While there are signs of improvement for commercial real estate, the outstanding economic, credit and regulatory issues remain. Certain markets will continue to benefit from employment gains specific to the location and regionally based growth industries such as technology, energy and health care. The capital markets also have an impact on these trends. Lending activity increased in 2011, but market volatility has increased caution among lenders and can affect capital supply. Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) lending, which was largely shut down in the second half of 2011, began again during the first quarter of 2012.
Despite improved access to capital for some companies, the aforementioned economic conditions have continued to impact the capital markets. Global government interventions in the banking system and the persistence of a highly expansionary monetary policy by the U.S. Treasury have introduced additional complexity and uncertainty to the markets. The U.S. government’s recent introduction of additional regulation to the financial markets, including the banking, insurance and brokerage sectors, has resulted in general uncertainty as to the long-term impact on these markets and on the economy as a whole. Adding to this uncertainty are increased disclosure requirements and changes to accounting principles involving the valuation of investments. These conditions are expected to continue, and combined with a challenging macro-economic environment, may interfere with the implementation of our business strategy and/or force us to modify it.
Impact on Our Real Estate Investments
These market conditions have had and will likely continue to have a significant impact on our real estate investments. In addition, these market conditions have impacted our tenants’ businesses, which makes it more difficult for them to meet their current lease obligations and places pressure on them to negotiate favorable lease terms upon renewal in order for their businesses to remain viable. Increases in rental concessions given to retain tenants and maintain our occupancy level, which is vital to the continued success of our portfolio, has resulted in lower current cash flow. Projected future declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to sign new tenants, may result in additional decreases in cash flows. Historically low interest rates have helped offset some of the impact of these decreases in operating cash flow for properties financed with variable rate mortgages; however, interest rates likely will not remain at these historically low levels for the remaining life of many of our investments.
Impact on Our Real Estate-Related Investments
All of our real estate-related investments are either directly secured by commercial real estate (e.g., first deeds of trust or mortgages) or secured by ownership interests in entities that directly or indirectly own and operate real estate (e.g., mezzanine loans). As a result, our real estate-related investments in general have been impacted by the same factors impacting our real estate investments. In particular, our investments in mezzanine loans and B-Notes have been impacted to a greater degree as current valuations for buildings directly or indirectly securing our investment positions have likely decreased from the date of our acquisition or origination of these investments. In such instances, the borrowers may not be able to refinance their debt to us or sell the collateral at a price sufficient to repay our note balances in full when they become due. In addition, current economic conditions have impacted the performance of collateral directly or indirectly securing our loan investments, and therefore have impacted the ability of some borrowers under our loans to make contractual interest payments to us.
Assuming our real estate-related loans are fully extended under the terms of the respective loan agreements and excluding our loan investments with asset-specific loan loss reserves, we do not have any investments maturing within a year from March 31, 2012. We have fixed rate real estate-related investments with book values (excluding asset-specific loan loss reserves) of $30.6 million. As of March 31, 2012, we had recorded $2.3 million of reserves for loan losses related to the real estate-related investments that we currently hold in our portfolio.
Impact on Our Financing Activities
In light of the risks associated with declining operating cash flows from our real estate properties including the properties directly or indirectly serving as the collateral for our repurchase agreements, and the current underwriting environment for commercial real estate mortgages, we may have difficulty refinancing some of our mortgage notes, credit facilities and repurchase agreements at maturity or we may not be able to refinance our obligations at terms as favorable as the terms of our existing indebtedness. Although we believe we will be permitted to extend the maturity of our current loan agreements and other loan documents, we can give no assurance in this regard. We have $574.7 million of debt maturing (including principal amortization payments) during the 12 months ending March 31, 2013. Assuming our notes payable, credit facilities and repurchase agreements are fully extended under the terms of the respective loan agreements and other loan documents, we have $466.7 million of debt maturing (including principal amortization payments) during the 12 months ending March 31, 2013.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
As of March 31, 2012, we had a total of $1.3 billion of fixed rate notes payable and $871.2 million of variable rate notes payable and repurchase agreements. Of the $871.2 million of variable rate notes payable and repurchase agreements, $74.0 million is effectively fixed through interest rate swaps.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for funds during the short- and long-term are for the payment of operating expenses, capital expenditures, general and administrative expenses and substantial pay down of debt obligations in order to refinance loans with near term maturities. To date, we have had six primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements:
| |
• | Proceeds from our primary offering, which closed in 2008; |
| |
• | Debt financings, including mortgage loans, repurchase agreements and credit facilities; |
| |
• | Proceeds from common stock issued under our dividend reinvestment plan (which terminated effective April 10, 2012); |
| |
• | Cash flow generated by our real estate operations and real estate-related investments; |
| |
• | Proceeds from the sales of real estate, real estate loans receivable and real estate securities; and |
| |
• | Principal repayments on our real estate loans receivable. |
We ceased offering shares of common stock in our primary offering on May 30, 2008. We do not currently plan to acquire or originate additional real estate or real estate-related assets. We intend to use proceeds from asset sales and principal repayments on our real estate loans receivable as our primary sources of immediate and long-term liquidity. To the extent available, we also intend to use our cash on hand, cash flow generated by our real estate operations and real estate-related investments and funds available under our credit facilities. However, we have and/or expect to suffer declines in cash flows from these sources.
On March 20, 2012, our board of directors approved the suspension of monthly distribution payments in order to manage our reduced cash flows from operations and to redirect available funds to reduce our debt. Our primary concern is the repayment of our Amended Repurchase Agreements (defined below), but we expect to use available funds to repay other debt obligations as well. Reducing our debt will allow us to hold certain assets in our portfolio to improve their value and the returns to our stockholders. After repaying our Amended Repurchase Agreements and some of our other debt obligations through the suspension of monthly distribution payments and the sale of certain assets, we plan to make certain strategic asset sales and, from time to time, may declare special distributions to our stockholders that would be funded with the net proceeds from those asset sales or from cash flow from other sources. We will continue our existing strategy to sell assets when we believe the assets have reached the stage that disposition will assist in improving returns to our investors.
In connection with the change to our distribution policy, our board of directors terminated our dividend reinvestment plan effective April 10, 2012. In addition, our board of directors amended and restated our share redemption program to provide only for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program). Such redemptions are subject to an annual dollar limitation, which shall be $10.0 million in the aggregate for the calendar year 2012 (subject to review and adjustment during the year by our board of directors), and further subject to the limitations described in the share redemption program plan document. Based on historical redemption activity, we believe the $10.0 million redemption limitation for the calendar year 2012 will be sufficient for these special redemptions. As of March 31, 2012, we had $7.6 million available for these special redemptions for the remainder of 2012. During each calendar year, the annual dollar limitation for the share redemption program will be reviewed and adjusted from time to time. The amended and restated share redemption program became effective on April 25, 2012. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2011 for a description of the amended and restated share redemption program. The complete plan document is filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and is available at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
On April 28, 2011, in connection with the amendment and restatement of the repurchase agreements related to our former investment in the GKK Mezzanine Loan (the “Amended Repurchase Agreements”), we agreed that during the term of the Amended Repurchase Agreements and except for distributions to stockholders necessary to maintain our REIT status, we would limit distributions to stockholders to an amount not to exceed $6.0 million per month, excluding any distributions to stockholders reinvested in our now terminated dividend reinvestment plan. In addition, we agreed that during the term of the Amended Repurchase Agreements, we would continue to limit redemptions under the share redemption program to those sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” Additionally, any net cash flows from operations generated by the GKK Properties are restricted for the repayment of principal outstanding under the Amended Repurchase Agreements and expenditures related to the GKK Properties.
Our investments in real estate generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, which are reduced by operating expenditures, debt service payments and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flows from operations from real estate investments is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates on our leases, the collectibility of rent and operating recoveries from our tenants and how well we manage our expenditures. As of March 31, 2012, our real estate held for investment was 86% occupied and our bad debt reserve was approximately 2% of annualized base rent.
Our real estate-related investments generate cash flow in the form of interest income, which is reduced by loan servicing fees, debt service payments and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flows from operations from our real estate‑related investments is primarily dependent on the operating performance of the underlying collateral and the borrowers’ ability to make their debt service payments. As of March 31, 2012, all of the borrowers under our real estate loans receivable were current on their debt service obligations. As a result of these factors, we may experience declines in future cash flows from our real estate and real estate-related investments and we expect an increased need for capital to cover leasing costs and capital improvements needed to improve the performance of our assets.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we met our operating cash needs with cash flow generated by proceeds from the sale of real estate, cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of real estate loans receivable, proceeds from the sale of real estate securities and cash on hand. We believe that our potential proceeds from the sale of real estate, cash flow from operations, potential proceeds from the sale or payoff of real estate loans receivable and cash on hand will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the upcoming year. For additional information regarding our cash needs during 2012, see the discussion of our Amended Repurchase Agreements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC under “Business — GKK Properties — Repurchase Agreements” and the discussion under “— Contractual Commitments and Contingencies” below.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
As of March 31, 2012, we owned 873 real estate properties (of which 243 properties were held for sale), including the GKK Properties. In addition, as of March 31, 2012, we owned four real estate loans receivable, a preferred membership interest in a real estate joint venture and a participation interest with respect to another real estate joint venture.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities was $7.8 million, compared to $1.7 million of net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Net cash from operations increased in 2012 primarily because of the transfer of the GKK Properties. Cash provided by operating activities from the GKK Properties was $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Any net cash flows from operations generated by the GKK Properties are restricted for the repayment of principal outstanding under the Amended Repurchase Agreements and expenditures related to the GKK Properties.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $201.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The significant sources and uses of cash from investing activities were as follows:
| |
• | $143.1 million of cash provided from the sale of real estate; |
| |
• | $46.2 million of cash provided from the sale of real estate securities; |
| |
• | $16.8 million of cash received from the sale of a real estate loan receivable; |
| |
• | $5.7 million of cash used for improvements to real estate; |
| |
• | $2.8 million of cash provided from the sale of foreclosed real estate held for sale; and |
| |
• | $2.1 million decrease in restricted cash for capital expenditures relating to the payment of leasing commissions, tenant improvements and capital improvements. |
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $191.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The significant uses of cash for financing activities were as follows:
| |
• | $161.2 million of net cash used for the repayment of debt and other financings as a result of $174.2 million of principal payments on notes payable and repurchase agreements and $0.8 million of payments for financing costs, partially offset by proceeds from notes payable of $13.8 million; |
| |
• | $14.4 million of restricted cash used for debt service obligations; |
| |
• | $13.6 million of net cash used for distributions, after giving effect to dividends reinvested by stockholders of $11.1 million; and |
| |
• | $2.4 million of cash used for redemptions of common stock and $0.3 million of cash used for payments of commissions on stock sales. |
Contractual Commitments and Contingencies
In order to execute our investment strategy, we utilized mortgage, mezzanine and repurchase financings to finance a portion of our investment portfolio. Management remains vigilant in monitoring the risks inherent with the use of debt in our portfolio and is taking actions to ensure that these risks, including refinancing and interest rate risk, are properly balanced with the benefits of maintaining such leverage. Assuming our notes payable and repurchase agreements are fully extended under the terms of the respective loan agreements, as of March 31, 2012, we had $466.7 million of debt maturing (including principal amortization payments) during the 12 months ending March 31, 2013.
As of March 31, 2012, we had a total of $1.3 billion of fixed rate notes payable and $871.2 million of variable rate notes payable and repurchase agreements; of the $871.2 million of variable rate notes payable and repurchase agreements, interest rates on $74.0 million of these notes were effectively fixed through interest rate swaps. As discussed above, during the last four years, the global capital markets have experienced significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions that have caused the credit spreads of debt to fluctuate considerably and caused significant volatility in interest rates, including LIBOR. As of March 31, 2012, we had a total of $797.2 million of variable rate notes payable and repurchase agreements not subject to interest rate swaps that are impacted by fluctuations in interest rates. While LIBOR currently stands at historically low levels, future increases in LIBOR may result in the use of increased capital resources to meet our debt obligations.
In addition to using our capital resources to meet our debt service obligations, for capital expenditures and for operating costs, we use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor and the dealer manager. We pay our advisor fees in connection with the management and disposition of our assets and for certain costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us. We also paid the dealer manager selling commissions of up to 3% of gross offering proceeds in connection with eligible sales under our dividend reinvestment plan (which terminated effective April 10, 2012) to the extent permitted under state securities laws. We also have reimbursed our advisor and the dealer manager for certain offering costs related to our dividend reinvestment plan.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
As of March 31, 2012, we had $88.1 million of cash and cash equivalents.
As of March 31, 2012, our borrowings and other liabilities were approximately 71% of the cost (before depreciation or other noncash reserves) and book value (before depreciation) of our tangible assets, respectively. Our charter limits our total liabilities to 75% of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) of our tangible 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 exceeding the total liabilities limitation.
The following is a summary of our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2012 (in thousands):

_____________________(1) Amounts include principal payments under notes payable and repurchase agreements based on maturity dates of debt obligations as of March 31, 2012.
(2) As of March 31, 2012, $83.4 million of the debt, reflected herein, was defeased by $91.6 million of pledged government securities, net of unamortized discounts and premiums.
(3) Projected interest payments are based on the outstanding principal amounts and weighted-average interest rates as of March 31, 2012, adjusted for the impact of interest rate caps and swap agreements. We incurred interest expense of $24.3 million, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs totaling $2.2 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, one of the loans we assumed pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, which loan had an outstanding principal balance of $43.5 million as of March 31, 2012 (the “One Citizens Loan”), matured without repayment. The One Citizens Loan lender has begun foreclosure proceedings and we may be forced to relinquish the property securing the One Citizens Loan to the lender. As of March 31, 2012, the carrying value of the property securing the One Citizens Loan was $34.8 million.
Additionally, we are in negotiations with the lender to restructure or extend one of the loans we assumed pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, which loan had an outstanding principal balance of $191.8 million as of March 31, 2012 (the “Goldman Mortgage Loan”). The principal balance of the Goldman Mortgage Loan as of March 31, 2012, excludes our $32.1 million subordinated interest in the Goldman Mortgage Loan. The Goldman Mortgage Loan matures on August 31, 2012 and there is no guarantee that the lender will extend or refinance the balance due under this loan at maturity and it may choose to attempt to exercise certain of its rights under the loan and security documents, including without limitation, requiring the repayment of principal outstanding or foreclosing on the underlying properties securing the loan. Furthermore, a default on the Goldman Mortgage Loan may constitute a default under the Amended Repurchase Agreements and under certain conditions, we may be required to transfer the Equity Interests in the mortgage borrowers that own the properties securing the Goldman Mortgage Loan to the lenders under the Amended Repurchase Agreements to avoid a default of the Amended Repurchase Agreements. The carrying value of the properties securing the Goldman Mortgage Loan was $219.5 million as of March 31, 2012.
Debt Covenants and Requirements under Amended Repurchase Agreements
The documents evidencing our outstanding debt obligations typically require that specified loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios be maintained with respect to our financed properties. A breach of the financial covenants in these documents may result in the lender imposing additional restrictions on our operations, such as restrictions on our ability to incur additional debt, or may allow the lender to impose “cash traps” with respect to cash flow from the property securing the loan. In addition, such a breach may constitute an event of default and the lender could require us to repay the debt immediately if we fail to make such repayment in a timely manner, or the lender may be entitled to take possession of any property securing the loan.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
As of March 31, 2012, we and/or our subsidiaries that are the borrowers under our loan and security documents were in compliance with the financial covenants in such documents included in our consolidated financial statements, except that, as of March 31, 2012, the borrowers under two mortgage loans that we assumed pursuant to the Settlement Agreement were out of debt service coverage compliance. The loans had outstanding principal balances of $205.2 million (the “BBD2 Loan”) and $13.6 million (the “Jenkins Loan”), respectively, as of March 31, 2012. Such non-compliance does not constitute an event of default under the applicable loan and security documents of either loan. However, as a result of such non-compliance, under the BBD2 Loan, the lender has imposed a “cash trap” to restrict distributions to us to the budgeted property operating expenses and requires lender consent regarding the release of properties securing the loan, and under the Jenkins Loan, the lender has also imposed a “cash trap” and has the right to replace the property manager of the property. These events may have a material adverse affect on our financial condition, results of operations and the return on our stockholders’ investment in us.
The loan agreements and security documents relating to the FSI 6000A, FSI 6000B, FSI 6000C, FSI 6000D and 801 Market Street loans contain provisions that prohibit the pledge of certain Equity Interests in the mortgage borrowers or their direct or indirect owners. As a result of the transfers under the Settlement Agreement and our subsequent pledge of certain Equity Interests as security for certain of our repurchase agreements, the lenders under these mortgage loans may view certain pledges as being prohibited. If they do, they may attempt to exercise certain remedies detailed in the respective loan and security documents, including without limitation, accelerating the outstanding amount under each mortgage loan or foreclosing on the underlying properties securing the mortgage loans. As of March 31, 2012, the total outstanding debt on these five loans was $147.4 million.
In connection with the restructuring of our former investment in the GKK Mezzanine Loan, on April 28, 2011, we, through certain indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “KBS GKK”), amended and restated our repurchase agreements which were secured by our former investment in the GKK Mezzanine Loan. We further amended the Amended Repurchase Agreements on September 1, 2011 in connection with the Settlement Agreement. The Amended Repurchase Agreements are currently secured by, among other things, the equity interests in the owners of, and the holders of leasehold interests in, the GKK Properties that were transferred to us pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. The Amended Repurchase Agreements bear interest at an annual rate of 350 basis points over one-month LIBOR. In addition to monthly interest payments under the terms of the Amended Repurchase Agreements, we were and are required to make certain mandatory payments to the lenders under the Amended Repurchase Agreements (the “GKK Lenders”) as follows:
| |
(i) | on October 15, 2011, we made an amortization payment of $35 million; |
| |
(ii) | every three months from January 15, 2012 through April 2013, we were and are required to make additional amortization payments of approximately $24.3 million, which payments may be decreased by any prepayments of principal, including any mandatory or voluntary prepayments of principal; |
| |
(iii) | on October 15, 2011, we made payments relating to the acquisition of certain loans which were directly or indirectly secured by the GKK Properties in the amount of $1.6 million, and we were and are required to make payments in the amount of $1.1 million every three months thereafter through April 2013; and |
| |
(iv) | we are required to pay 75% to 100% of excess cash flows or net cash proceeds from: (a) the operations of the GKK Properties, net of debt service and capital reserves; (b) the sale of the GKK Properties; (c) the sale of certain real estate-related debt investments owned by us; (d) the sale of substantially all other properties owned by us, in excess of $75 million in the aggregate in any calendar year; and (e) certain indebtedness incurred or equity issued (excluding proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan, which terminated effective April 10, 2012) by us. |
As of March 31, 2012, the Amended Repurchase Agreements had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $77.7 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2012 and through May 9, 2012, we made principal repayments in the aggregate of $26.9 million on the Amended Repurchase Agreements. We may voluntarily prepay amounts outstanding under the Amended Repurchase Agreements without prepayment penalties.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The Amended Repurchase Agreements require KBS GKK and its subsidiaries, and us and certain of our subsidiaries that indirectly own most of our assets (collectively, the “Guarantors”), to meet certain financial and other covenants, which include, among other covenants, the requirement for the Guarantors to maintain minimum liquidity of $19.0 million. The Guarantors have guaranteed, and other of our subsidiaries as may be added in the future will guarantee, all amounts owed by KBS GKK to the GKK Lenders under the Amended Repurchase Agreements. We also agreed that, unless permitted by or pursuant to the terms of the Amended Repurchase Agreements, during the term of the Amended Repurchase Agreements we would not create or incur additional liens or indebtedness on its assets, make additional investments, or make certain dispositions except pursuant to the mandatory payment provisions discussed above. During the term of the Amended Repurchase Agreements, we also agreed (i) except for distributions to stockholders necessary to maintain our REIT status, to limit distributions to stockholders to an amount not to exceed $6.0 million per month, excluding any distributions to stockholders reinvested in us pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan (which terminated effective April 10, 2012), and (ii) to continue to limit redemptions under the share redemption program to those redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program).
In connection with our execution of the Settlement Agreement, KBS GKK agreed that a default by us on any of the five loans specified in the Amended Repurchase Agreements (a “Mortgage Default”), which loans are secured by the GKK Properties, may, in certain circumstances, constitute a default under the Amended Repurchase Agreements. Under certain conditions, a Mortgage Default would not trigger a default under the Amended Repurchase Agreements if we were to transfer the Equity Interests in the owner of the property subject to the Mortgage Default to the GKK Lenders.
Asset Management Services Related to the GKK Properties
On September 1, 2011, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, GKK Stars agreed to provide certain asset management, disposition and other services related to the GKK Properties through December 31, 2013, which services could be terminated by either GKK Stars or us at any time on 90 days prior written notice, subject to certain additional termination rights and restrictions; and to provide us with financial information for the GKK Properties for fiscal year 2011. As compensation for these services, we agreed to pay to GKK Stars: (i) an annual fee of $10 million (prorated for incomplete years) plus all property-related expenses incurred by GKK Stars, (ii) subject to certain terms and conditions in the Settlement Agreement, participation interests in the amounts by which the net sales proceeds from the sale of the GKK Properties plus the remaining net value of our remaining assets exceed certain threshold amounts, and (iii) subject to certain conditions in the Settlement Agreement, a minimum of $3.5 million. Accordingly, we recorded a contingent liability of $12.0 million based on the expected consideration to be paid as a result of GKK Stars’ participation interests.
On March 30, 2012, we, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an Asset Management Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with GKK Realty Advisors LLC (the “Property Manager”) with respect to the GKK Properties. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Property Manager has agreed to provide, among other services: standard asset management services, assistance related to dispositions, accounting services and budgeting and business plans for the GKK Properties (collectively, the “Services”). The Services Agreement will terminate on December 31, 2015. We may terminate the Services Agreement on or after April 1, 2013 on ninety days written notice to the Property Manager, with the payment of a termination fee and subject to certain additional termination rights and restrictions contained in the Services Agreement. The Property Manager may terminate the Services Agreement on or after December 31, 2012 on ninety days written notice to us, without the payment of a termination fee and subject to certain additional termination rights and restrictions contained in the Services Agreement.
As compensation for the Services, we agreed to pay to the Property Manager: (i) an annual fee of $12 million plus all GKK Property-related expenses incurred by the Property Manager, the payment of a portion of which annual fee may be deferred by us until not later than June 30, 2013, and (ii) subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the Services Agreement, participation interests in the amounts by which the net sales value of all properties sold plus the value of our remaining net assets exceeds certain threshold amounts, which participation will equal not less than $3.5 million and not more than $12 million, measured on a date as determined pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement.
The Services Agreement supersedes and replaces all prior agreements related to the services among us and GKK Stars and its affiliates.

Results of Operations
Overview
As of March 31, 2011, we owned 63 real estate properties, one master lease, 11 real estate loans receivable (four of which were impaired), two investments in securities directly or indirectly backed by commercial mortgage loans, and a preferred membership interest in a real estate joint venture. Also as of March 31, 2011, we owned a 10-story condominium building with 62 units acquired through foreclosure, of which eight condominium units, two retail spaces and parking spaces were owned by us and were held for sale. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, we entered into the Settlement Agreement to effect the orderly transfer of the GKK Properties and related liabilities to us, sold three real estate loans receivable, wrote-off two real estate loans receivable and sold one of our investments in securities backed by commercial mortgage loans to an unaffiliated buyer. In addition, subsequent to March 31, 2011, we sold seven industrial properties, six office properties and 15 GKK Properties, transferred the National Industrial Portfolio, consisting of 23 industrial properties and a master lease, to the lender in full satisfaction of the debt secured by the properties, terminated the leases of six properties in which we held a leasehold interest and designated 243 properties as held for sale. Accordingly, we classified these properties as discontinued operations for all periods presented in our consolidated financial statements. As a result, as of March 31, 2012, we owned 873 real estate properties and classified 243 of these properties (including 238 GKK Properties) as held for sale. Also, as of March 31, 2012, we owned four real estate loans receivable, a preferred membership interest in a real estate joint venture, a participation interest with respect to another real estate joint venture and a 10-story condominium building with 62 units acquired through foreclosure, of which three condominium units, two retail spaces and parking spaces were held for sale.

Rental income from our real estate properties increased by $46.3 million primarily due to an increase of $47.2 million related to the transfer of the GKK Properties. Excluding the GKK Properties, rental income decreased by $0.9 million primarily due to lower occupancy (as a result of tenants vacating or tenants reducing leased space) and lower rental rates for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Overall, we expect rental income to decrease in future periods due to anticipated asset sales. Our rental income in future periods will also vary in large part based on the occupancy rates and rental rates of the properties in our portfolio. The current economic conditions could result in lower occupancy and/or rental rates and a corresponding decrease in rental income.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Tenant reimbursements from our real estate properties increased by $24.0 million primarily due to an increase of $24.2 million related to the transfer of the GKK Properties. Excluding the GKK Properties, tenant reimbursements decreased by $0.2 million primarily due to lower occupancy (as a result of tenants vacating or tenants reducing leased space). Our tenant reimbursements in future periods will also vary based on several factors, including the occupancy rate of the buildings, changes in base year terms, and changes in reimbursable operating expenses. The current economic conditions could result in lower occupancy rates and increased tenant turnover and lease renewals resulting in lower tenant reimbursements. Generally, as new leases are negotiated, the base year resets to operating expenses incurred in the year the lease is signed and the tenant generally only reimburses operating expenses to the extent and by the amount that its allocable share of the building’s operating expenses in future years increases from its base year. As a result, as new leases are executed, tenant reimbursements would generally decrease. Rental income may or may not change by amounts corresponding to changes in tenant reimbursements due to new leases.
The $7.7 million decrease in interest income from loans receivable was primarily due to the following:
| |
• | A net decrease of $6.9 million related to the GKK Mezzanine Loan. On September 1, 2011, we, through KBS, entered into the Settlement Agreement in satisfaction of the GKK Mezzanine Loan. As of December 15, 2011, GKK Stars had indirectly transferred to us all of the 867 GKK Properties that had indirectly secured the GKK Mezzanine Loan. |
| |
• | A decrease of $0.7 million related to the sale of the San Antonio Business Park Mortgage Loan to an unaffiliated buyer on October 14, 2011. |
| |
• | A decrease of $0.2 million related to the discounted payoff of the Park Central Mezzanine Loan by the borrower on December 29, 2011. |
Interest income from real estate loans receivable in future periods may be affected by potential loan impairments as a result of current or future market conditions. Assuming our real estate-related loans receivable are fully extended under the terms of the respective loan agreements, and excluding our loan investments with asset-specific loan loss reserves, we do not have any investments maturing within a year from March 31, 2012.
If any of the borrowers under our real estate loans receivable are unable to repay a loan at maturity or default on their loan, the impact to future interest income and loan recoveries may be significant and will depend on several factors unique to each individual loan. In general, if we have a first priority lien on the collateral securing a loan, we may agree to extend the loan at similar terms, modify the terms of the loan, or foreclose on the collateral. If we foreclose on the collateral, we may either operate the property, resulting in our receipt of any cash flows generated by the property or our payment of any cash shortfalls related to the property, or sell the property for whatever amount we are able to obtain, which may or may not be equal to the loan balance prior to foreclosure. In general, if we own a mezzanine loan or a B-Note and the borrower is unable to repay its loan at maturity, we may have more restrictions and fewer options regarding the resolution of our investment. In certain circumstances, the senior lenders, in conjunction with us, may be willing to grant the borrower extensions or may grant extensions in exchange for more favorable terms (such as higher interest rates, a partial payoff, or the entitlement to a portion of a junior lender’s interest income, etc.). If the senior lenders will not grant the borrower an extension, we, as the mezzanine lender, may foreclose on the ownership interests of the borrower and take legal title to the property subject to the existing senior loans or we may negotiate a discounted repayment. We could attempt to negotiate an extension or modification with the senior lenders as the new borrower; however, if the senior lenders were not willing to extend or modify the loans and we were not able to repay the senior loans, we would most likely relinquish our interests or rights in the investment to the holders of the senior loans. Actual outcomes may differ significantly from the above based on factors specific to individual loans and situations.
Property operating, maintenance, and management costs from our real estate properties increased by $25.4 million primarily due to an increase of $25.7 million related to the transfer of the GKK Properties. Excluding the GKK Properties, property operating, maintenance, and management costs decreased by $0.4 million primarily due to a decrease in utilities and other operating expenses related to our real estate portfolio. Overall, we expect property operating, maintenance, and management costs to decrease in future periods due to anticipated asset sales.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Real estate taxes, property-related taxes and insurance from our real estate properties increased by $9.1 million primarily due to an increase of $9.4 million related to the transfer of the GKK Properties. Excluding the GKK Properties, real estate taxes, property-related taxes and insurance decreased by $0.3 million primarily due to an adjustment in the property tax estimate for a property and a refund of property tax payment received for another property during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Overall, we expect real estate taxes, property-related taxes and insurance to decrease in future periods due to anticipated asset sales.
The $0.3 million decrease in asset management fees was due to the exclusion of certain impaired real estate loans receivable from our asset management fee calculation.
General and administrative expenses increased by $3.0 million primarily due to an increase of $3.0 million related to the transfer of the GKK Properties. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of legal fees, audit fees, transfer agent fees, state and local income taxes and other professional fees.
Depreciation and amortization expense from our real estate properties increased by $25.7 million primarily due to an increase of $26.4 million related to the transfer of the GKK Properties. Excluding the GKK Properties, depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.7 million primarily due to decreased amortization of tenant origination and absorption costs resulting from lease expirations subsequent to March 31, 2011. Overall, we expect depreciation and amortization expense to decrease in future periods due to anticipated asset sales.
Interest expense from the financing of our portfolio increased by $17.6 million primarily due to an increase of $20.3 million related to debt secured by the GKK Properties. Excluding debt secured by the GKK Properties, interest expense decreased by $2.7 million primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease related to the amortization of loan fee extension costs under the Amended Repurchase Agreements and a $0.8 million decrease due to an overall lower effective interest rate on our outstanding debt. Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.4 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, respectively. Interest expense in future periods will vary based on fluctuations in one-month LIBOR, our level of future borrowings and our ability to refinance existing indebtedness at similar rates. We do not currently plan to acquire or originate more real estate or real estate‑related assets, and therefore, do not plan to enter into any purchase financing in the future. However, we will need to refinance our existing indebtedness in the future. Overall, we expect interest expense to decrease in future periods due to anticipated asset sales and principal paydowns.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recognized an impairment charge on real estate of $3.4 million with respect to one real estate property held for investment. We did not recognize any impairment charges on real estate held for investment during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by $0.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded provision for loan losses of $0.1 million calculated on an asset-specific basis. The provision for loan losses calculated on an asset-specific basis primarily related to the 11 South LaSalle Loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded a reduction in loan loss reserve of $0.2 million primarily related to the recovery of additional proceeds from the 200 Professional Drive Loan Origination, which was foreclosed and sold in December 2010.
We recognized a gain of $127,000 and $51,000 on the sales of foreclosed real estate held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we sold one condominium unit of the Tribeca Building and during the three months ended March 31, 2011, we sold three condominium units of the Tribeca Building.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we sold the Fixed Rate Securities to an unaffiliated buyer and recognized a gain on the sale of real estate securities of $25.5 million.
We recognized $1.9 million in income from an unconsolidated joint venture related to the Arden Portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2011. On July 8, 2011, the members of the HSC Partners Joint Venture entered into an amendment to their joint venture operating agreement to convert another lender’s $30.0 million of outstanding mezzanine debt to preferred membership interests. The HSC Partners Joint Venture also agreed that any cash flows from the joint venture after monthly debt service payments to existing mortgage and mezzanine lenders would be used to pay down principal. As a result, we did not recognize any income from our investment in the HSC Partners Joint Venture during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and do not expect to in the future.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
We recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $1.2 million related to the disposition of three office properties and 15 GKK Properties during the three months ended March 31, 2012. We did not dispose of any real estate during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by $1.9 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. Income (loss) from discontinued operations is composed of the results of operations from properties sold and properties held for sale as of March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we sold three office properties and 15 GKK Properties and designated three industrial properties, two office properties and 238 of the GKK Properties as held for sale. We did not dispose of any real estate during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Total revenues and other income from discontinued operations decreased from $23.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $15.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Total expenses from discontinued operations decreased from $24.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $13.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recognized an impairment charge on real estate from discontinued operations of $3.6 million with respect to one office property and 10 GKK Properties held for sale. The impairment charge was a result of a reduction in the estimated sales prices of certain properties held for sale. The estimated sales prices were based on purchase and sale agreements we have entered into or offers received which we intend to accept.
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. FFO represents net income, excluding gains and losses 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), impairment losses on real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In connection with NAREIT’s Accounting and Financial Standards Hot Topics, we are excluding impairment charges on real estate assets from our calculation of FFO. We have also restated FFO from prior periods to exclude these impairment charges. NAREIT believes that impairment charges on real estate assets are often early recognition of losses on prospective sales of properties, and therefore, the exclusion of these impairments is consistent with the exclusion of gains and losses recognized from the sales of real estate. Although these losses are included in the calculation of net income (loss), we have excluded these impairment charges in our calculation of FFO because impairments do not impact the current operating performance of our investments, and may or may not provide an indication of future operating performance. We believe FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other REITs. However, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.
Our management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. 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.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Changes in accounting rules have resulted in a substantial increase in the number of non-operating and non-cash items included in the calculation of FFO. As a result, our management also uses modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) as an indicator of our ongoing performance as well as our dividend sustainability. We believe that MFFO is helpful as a measure of ongoing operating performance because it excludes non-operating items included in FFO and MFFO also excludes non-cash items such as straight-line rental revenue. Additionally, we believe that MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance indicators and analysis used by management, in addition to net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, to evaluate the sustainability of our operating performance. MFFO excludes from FFO: acquisition fees and expenses; adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above and below market intangible lease assets and liabilities; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; amortization of closing costs; impairments of real estate-related investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; and gains or losses included in net income for the extinguishment or sale of debt or hedges. We compute MFFO in accordance with the definition of MFFO included in the practice guideline issued by the Investment Program Association (“IPA”) in November 2010. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not compute MFFO in accordance with the current IPA definition or that interpret the current IPA definition differently than we do.
FFO and MFFO are non-GAAP financial measures and do 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 and MFFO include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization and the other items described above. Accordingly, FFO and MFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our current and historical operating performance. In addition, MFFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an indication of our liquidity. We believe FFO and MFFO, in addition to net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are meaningful supplemental performance measures and are useful in understanding how our management evaluates our ongoing operating performance.
Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of straight-line rent is the most significant adjustment for the periods presented. We have excluded this item in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the current economic impact of our in-place leases, and also to provide investors with a useful supplemental metric that addresses core operating performance by removing rent we hope to receive in a future period or rent that was received in a prior period.
Our calculation of FFO and MFFO is presented in the table below for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively (in thousands). No conclusions or comparisons should be made from the presentation of these periods.

FFO and MFFO may be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO and MFFO, such as tenant improvements, building improvements and deferred leasing costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the GKK Properties generated $14.1 million and $9.5 million of FFO and MFFO, respectively, which amounts are included in the calculation above. FFO and MFFO generated by the GKK Properties are restricted for the repayment of principal outstanding under the Amended Repurchase Agreements and expenditures related to the GKK Properties.

_____________________(1) Distributions for the period from January 1, 2012 through February 28, 2012 were based on daily record dates and were calculated at a rate of $0.00143836 per share per day.
(2) Assumes share was issued and outstanding each day during the period presented.
(3) Distributions declared for the period from January 1, 2012 through February 28, 2012 were paid as of March 31, 2012.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we paid aggregate distributions of $24.7 million, including $13.6 million of distributions paid in cash and $11.1 million of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan (which terminated effective April 10, 2012). We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and dividends reinvested by stockholders, with $7.8 million of current period cash flows from operations and $16.9 million of a combination of operating cash reserves from prior periods, proceeds from the sale of properties in 2012 and 2011 and proceeds from debt financing. FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $21.0 million. For purposes of determining the sources of our distributions paid, we assume first that we use current period cash flow from operations, operating cash reserves from prior periods, asset sales and financings from the relevant periods to fund distribution payments. See the reconciliation of FFO to net income above.
We have paid distributions from asset sales, financings and our cash flow from operations. On March 20, 2012, our board of directors approved the suspension of monthly distribution payments in order to manage our reduced cash flows from operations and to redirect available funds to reduce our debt. Our primary concern is the repayment of our Amended Repurchase Agreements, but we expect to use available funds to repay other debt obligations as well. Reducing our debt will allow us to hold certain assets in our portfolio with a goal of improving their value and the returns to our stockholders. After repaying our Amended Repurchase Agreements and some of our other debt obligations through the suspension of monthly distribution payments and the sale of certain assets, we plan to make certain strategic asset sales and, from time to time, may declare special distributions to our stockholders that would be funded with the net proceeds from those asset sales or from cash flow from other sources. We will continue our existing strategy of selling assets when we believe the assets have reached the stage that disposition will assist in improving returns to our investors.
As a result of general economic conditions over the last several years, our portfolio has experienced increasing pressure from declines in cash flow from a number of our investments. The most significant factor has been a decline in cash flow from our real estate-related investments. In particular, our investments in mezzanine and mortgage loans have been impacted as the operating performance and values of buildings directly or indirectly securing our investment positions have decreased from the date of our acquisition or origination of these investments. In such instances, some of the borrowers have not been able to refinance their debt to us or sell the collateral at a price sufficient to repay our note balances in full when they become due. In addition, current economic conditions have impacted the ability of some borrowers under our loans to make contractual interest payments to us. Economic conditions have also impacted our real estate investments resulting in a decline in the occupancy of our portfolio, an important element to the continued growth of our portfolio, that has resulted in lower current cash flow. Tenant-specific issues, including bankruptcy and down-sizing, have placed downward pressure on our operating cash flow because these tenants have terminated their leases early, not renewed their leases or have not paid their contractual rent to us. Projected future declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space and expectations of increases in future rental concessions, including three or more months of free rent to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to sign new tenants, are expected to result in additional decreases in cash flow. Moreover, asset sales in 2012 and expected future asset sales to meet our liquidity needs will result in further decreases in operating cash flow.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Due to these factors, we may not generate sufficient operating cash flow on a quarterly basis to cover our operations. If our cash flow from operations continues to deteriorate, we will be more dependent on asset sales to fund our operations and for our liquidity needs. These factors could also reduce our stockholders’ overall investment return.
In connection with the change to our distribution policy, our board of directors has terminated our dividend reinvestment plan effective April 10, 2012. In addition, our board of directors has amended and restated our share redemption program to provide only for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program). Such redemptions are subject to an annual dollar limitation, which shall be $10.0 million in the aggregate for the calendar year 2012 (subject to review and adjustment during the year by our board of directors), and further subject to the limitations described in the share redemption program plan document. Based on historical redemption activity, we believe the $10.0 million redemption limitation for the calendar year 2012 will be sufficient for these special redemptions. As of March 31, 2012, we had $7.6 million available for these special redemptions for the remainder of 2012. During each calendar year, the annual dollar limitation for the share redemption program will be reviewed and adjusted from time to time.
On April 28, 2011, in connection with the execution of the Amended Repurchase Agreements, we agreed that during the term of the Amended Repurchase Agreements and except for distributions to stockholders necessary to maintain our REIT status, we would limit distributions to stockholders to an amount not to exceed $6.0 million per month, excluding any distributions to stockholders reinvested in our dividend reinvestment plan (which terminated effective April 10, 2012). Additionally, any net cash flows from operations generated by the GKK Properties are restricted for the repayment of principal outstanding under the Amended Repurchase Agreements and expenditures related to the GKK Properties. For discussion of the Settlement Agreement, the transfers of the GKK Properties and the Amended Repurchase Agreements, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC.
Our operating performance cannot be accurately predicted and may deteriorate in the future due to numerous factors, including those discussed under “Forward-Looking Statements,” “— Market Outlook — Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets,” and “ — Results of Operations” herein, and under “Business” in Part I, Item 1 and “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC. Those factors include: the future operating performance of our investments in the existing real estate and financial environment; the success and economic viability of our tenants; the ability of our borrowers and their sponsors to continue to make their debt service payments and/or to repay their loans upon maturity; our ability to refinance existing indebtedness at comparable terms; changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt obligations; our ability to sell assets to cover liquidity needs; our ability to successfully operate and sell the GKK Properties given current economic conditions and the concentration of the GKK Properties in the financial services sector; the significant debt obligations we have assumed with respect to the GKK Properties; and our advisor’s limited experience operating and selling bank branch properties.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. 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. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2012; however, we did adopt Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05) under which we have now included the presentation of other comprehensive income (loss) as its own statement following the consolidated statement of operations.

Subsequent Events
We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Disposition of Properties Subsequent to March 31, 2012
Subsequent to March 31, 2012 and through May 9, 2012, we sold 20 of the GKK Properties, which were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2012, consisting of 16 bank branch properties and four office properties for $30.9 million (net of selling costs), which resulted in net sales proceeds of $7.2 million after the repayment of debt outstanding and the funding of required lender reserves under certain mortgage portfolios. The net sales proceeds from the sales of the GKK Properties were used to repay debt outstanding under the Amended Repurchase Agreements.
AIP Fee Reimbursement Agreement
On April 19, 2012, we entered into a fee reimbursement agreement with the dealer manager pursuant to which we agreed to reimburse the dealer manager for certain fees and expenses it incurs for administering our participation in the DTCC Alternative Investment Product Platform (the “AIP Platform”) with respect to certain accounts of our investors serviced through the AIP Platform.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity and that we used to fund the financing and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. We are also exposed to the effects of changes in interest rates as a result of our investments in mortgage, mezzanine and other loans and investments in real estate securities. Our profitability and the value of our investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes. 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 have managed and will continue to manage interest rate risk by maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level. In addition, we utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, floors, and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest‑earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for payments to holders of our common stock and that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments.
We borrow funds and made investments at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt or fixed rate real estate loans receivable unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. As of March 31, 2012, the fair value and book value of our fixed rate real estate loans receivable was $25.4 million and $28.2 million, respectively. The fair value estimate of our real estate loans receivable is calculated using an internal valuation model that considers the expected cash flows for the loans, underlying collateral values (for collateral‑dependent loans) and the estimated yield requirements of institutional investors for loans with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. As of March 31, 2012, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $1.3 billion and the carrying value of our fixed rate debt was $1.3 billion. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated as of March 31, 2012. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting changes in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.
Conversely, movements in interest rates on variable rate debt and loans receivable would change our future earnings and cash flows, but would not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of floating rate instruments. As of March 31, 2012, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $797.2 million of our $871.2 million of variable rate debt outstanding, after giving consideration to the impact of interest rate swap agreements on approximately $74.0 million of our variable rate debt. Based on interest rates as of March 31, 2012, if interest rates are 100 basis points higher during the 12 months ending March 31, 2013, interest expense on our variable rate debt outstanding would increase by approximately $7.4 million. As of March 31, 2012, one-month LIBOR was 0.24125% and if this index was reduced to 0% during the 12 months ending March 31, 2013, interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease by $1.8 million.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk (continued)
The weighted-average annual effective interest rate of our fixed rate real estate loans receivable as of March 31, 2012 was 9.9%. The weighted-average annual effective interest rate represents the effective interest rate as of March 31, 2012, using the interest method that we use to recognize interest income on our real estate loans receivable without asset-specific loan loss reserves. The weighted-average interest rates of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt as of March 31, 2012 were 6.0% and 3.9%, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect as of March 31, 2012 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of interest rate caps, floors and swaps), using interest rate indices as of March 31, 2012, where applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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. |
| |
c) | On March 20, 2012, our board of directors amended and restated our share redemption program to provide that stockholders may only sell their shares to us in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program). Such redemptions are subject to an annual dollar limitation and are further subject to the other limitations described in the share redemption program plan document, including: |
| |
• | During each calendar year, redemptions sought in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined under the share redemption program) will be limited to an annual amount determined by our board of directors. The annual dollar limitation for the share redemption program may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time during the year. The dollar limitation for calendar year 2012 is $10.0 million in the aggregate, subject to review and adjustment during the year by our board of directors. |
| |
• | 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. |
The amended and restated share redemption program became effective on April 25, 2012. The complete plan document is filed as an exhibit to our annual report on Form 10-K and is available at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. We do not expect to have funds available for ordinary redemptions in the future.
The only redemptions we made under the share redemption program during the three months ended March 31, 2012 were those that qualified as, and met the requirements for, special redemptions under our share redemption program, i.e., all redemptions under the plan were made in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we fulfilled all redemption requests that qualified as special redemptions under the share redemption program. On April 28, 2011, in connection with the execution of the Amended Repurchase Agreements, we agreed that during the term of the Amended Repurchase Agreements we would continue to limit redemptions under our share redemption program to those sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” The Amended Repurchase Agreements will terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) April 28, 2013; (ii) the date that the Amended Repurchase Agreements convert into a mezzanine loan (which would likely contain substantially similar terms as the Amended Repurchase Agreements, including with respect to our share redemption program restrictions); (iii) the date that all obligations under the Amended Repurchase Agreements are fully paid; or (iv) upon an event causing the Amended Repurchase Agreements to otherwise terminate.
We may amend, suspend or terminate the program upon 30 days’ notice to our stockholders. We may provide this notice by including such information in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC, or by a separate mailing to our stockholders.

_____________________(1) We 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), August 14, 2008 (which amendment became effective on September 13, 2008), March 26, 2009 (which amendment became effective on April 26, 2009), May 13, 2009 (which amendment became effective on June 12, 2009) and March 26, 2012 (which amendment became effective on April 25, 2012).
(2) In accordance with our share redemption program, the redemption price for all stockholders is equal to the estimated value per share of our common stock. Through the February 2012 redemption date, all shares redeemed under the share redemption program were redeemed at $7.32. On March 22, 2012, our board of directors approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of $5.16 based on the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of December 31, 2011. Effective for the March 2012 redemption date and until the estimated value per share is updated, the redemption price for all stockholders whose shares are eligible for redemption is $5.16 per share. For a full description of the methodologies used to value our assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of the estimated value per share, see Part II, Item 5, “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Market Information” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We currently expect to engage our advisor and/or an independent valuation firm to update the estimated value per share in December 2012, but are not required to update the estimated value per share more frequently than every 18 months.
(3) We limit the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the share redemption program as described above. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we redeemed $2.4 million of shares of common stock. The only redemptions we made under the share redemption program during the three months ended March 31, 2012 were those that qualified as, and met the requirements for, special redemptions under our share redemption program, i.e., all redemptions under the plan were made in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we fulfilled all redemption requests that qualified as special redemptions under the share redemption program. Based on the redemption limitations described above and redemptions through March 31, 2012, we may redeem up to $7.6 million of shares for the remainder of 2012 that meet the requirements for these special redemptions.
