As of September 30, 2010, the Company’s multifamily portfolio was 99.3% leased, which is flat compared to the percentage leased at June 30, 2010.
Cash Position
As of September 30, 2010, the Company had $281.7 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand compared to $72.7 million at December 31, 2009.
Financings
On September 30, 2010, the Company announced that it had obtained a seven-year $400 million term loan, which bears interest at a floating rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. However, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap contract that effectively fixes the interest rate at 4.45% until July 1, 2015. The loan facility matures on October 2, 2017. The term loan is secured by six of the Company’s office properties in Los Angeles and by Bishop Square in Honolulu, which was acquired by the Company on June 29, 2010. A portion of the loan proceeds have been utilized to repay the outstanding balance of the Company’s credit facility, which is now retired, and the balance of the loan proceeds have been retained for other corporate opportunities.
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on November 1, 2010, the Company announced that it had obtained ten-year, cross-collateralized term loans aggregating $388.08 million. The loans bear interest at a floating rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 165 basis points. However, the Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts that effectively fix the interest rate at approximately 3.65% for seven years expiring on November 1, 2017. The loans mature on November 2, 2020. The term loans are secured by four of the Company’s multifamily properties in Brentwood and Santa Monica. The loan proceeds fully repaid four loans totaling $388.08 million that were scheduled to mature on June 1, 2012. The Company has also terminated the existing interest rate swap contracts that were sc heduled to mature on August 1, 2011 and were related to the repaid loans.
Acquisitions
On October 22, 2010, the Company announced that its closed-end fund acquired Wilshire Bundy Plaza, a class “A” office building totaling more than 310,000 square feet for a contract price of $111 million, or approximately $358 per square foot. The asset is located in the Company’s Brentwood submarket along the Wilshire Corridor. In conjunction with this transaction, the fund assumed an amortizing term loan with a current principal balance of approximately $56.4 million and a 5.67% interest rate. The loan matures on April 1, 2016.
Dividends
During the quarter, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share. The dividend was paid on October 15, 2010 to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2010. On an annualized basis, this represents a dividend of $0.40 per common share.

Guidance
As previously noted, the Company has obtained new $388.08 million financing at an effective 3.65% interest rate and repaid existing loans totaling $388.08 million. The Company terminated the interest rate swap contracts related to the loans that were repaid on November 1, 2010 for net cash payments totaling approximately $11.9 million. The Company contemplates that, as a result of the swap contract terminations, there will be a one-time impact to FFO of cash and non-cash interest expense totaling approximately $13.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The Company is revising its full year 2010 FFO guidance range to $1.19 - $1.23 per diluted share from the previous range of $1.24 - $1.28.

| (1) | We calculate funds from operations before noncontrolling interest (FFO) in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). FFO represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognize d measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that results from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. |

| (1) | To facilitate a more meaningful comparison of NOI between periods, we calculate comparable amounts for a subset of our owned properties referred to as “same properties”. Same property amounts are calculated as the amounts attributable to properties which have been owned and operated by us during the entire span of both periods compared. Therefore, any properties either acquired after the first day of the earlier comparison period or sold or unconsolidated before the last day of the later comparison period are excluded from same properties. We may also exclude from the same property set any property that is undergoing a major repositioning project that would impact the comparability of its results between two periods. |
| (2) | NOI (as defined in the next footnote) includes the revenue and expense directly attributable to our real estate properties calculated in accordance with GAAP, and is specifically labeled as “GAAP basis.” We also believe that NOI calculated on a cash basis is useful for investors to understand our operations. Cash basis NOI is also a non-GAAP measure, which we calculate by excluding from GAAP basis NOI our straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above/below market lease intangible assets and liabilities. Accordingly, cash basis NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. Cash basis NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. Cash basis NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. |
| (3) | Reported net income (or loss) is computed in accordance with GAAP. In contrast, net operating income (NOI) is a non-GAAP measure consisting of the revenue and expense attributable to the real estate properties that we own and operate. Although NOI is considered a non-GAAP measure, we present NOI on a “GAAP basis” by using property revenues and expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI is net income (or loss), adjusted to exclude general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, interest expense, income from unconsolidated partnerships, noncontrolling interests in consolidated partnerships, gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating properties, net income from discontinued operations and e xtraordinary items. Management uses NOI as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate depreciation and amortization expense and gains (or losses) from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that NOI will be useful to investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because NOI excludes depreciation and amortization expense and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties (all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations), the utility of NOI as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate NOI in a similar manner and, acco rdingly, our NOI may not be comparable to such other REITs’ NOI. Accordingly, NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. |
