Yes, if you prefer to convert your class B common shares for class A common shares rather than participate in the offer, you may do so at any time.

Yes. If you elect to participate, you must tender all your class B common shares. No partial participation will be permitted. (See Section 7 of The Offer)

Question 12: Will I have to pay taxes if I participate in the offer?
The sale of the class B common shares to AmREIT pursuant to this offer will be a taxable transaction and should generally result in a gain for federal income tax purposes and may also be taxable under applicable state, local and other tax laws. It is anticipated that approximately 11% of the consideration received will be considered long term capital gain as a result of a portion of your historical dividend distributions being treated as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. (See Section 9 of The Offer)

Yes. The completion of this offer is subject to customary conditions that are described in Section 10 of this offering document. (See Section 10 of The Offer)

- Risks of the Offer -
Risks of Participating in the Offer
Participating in the offer to purchase involves a number of risks, including those described below. You should carefully consider these risks and carefully review the other sections of this document and the other documents that accompany or are incorporated into this document by reference.
The purchase price offered for the class B common shares in the offer is less than the redemption price.
We are offering to pay you $9.25 per class B common share tendered in this offer. If we were to exercise our right to redeem the class B common shares pursuant to their terms, we would be required to pay a redemption price of $10.18 per share.
The purchase price of $9.25 per share was determined by our board of trust managers without independent advice.
The purchase price payable in this offer was determined by our board of trust managers based on the value assigned to the class B common shares in connection with the mergers of Fund IX, Fund X and Fund XI into AmREIT. The mergers were completed in July 2002 and no independent valuation of the value of the class B common shares has been done since July 2002. As a result, the value of a class B common share may be in excess of the purchase price being offered in the offer to purchase.
You will lose the right to convert your class B common shares for AmREIT’s class A common shares if you tender your class B common shares.
Each class B common share is convertible into one of AmREIT’s class A common shares. The class A common shares are traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “AMY.” If you tender your class B common shares in the offer, they will be purchased by AmREIT and cancelled, thereby eliminating your right to convert them into class A common shares.
You generally will recognize gain or loss upon the receipt of the cash purchase price payable for tendered shares.
The sale of the class B common shares to AmREIT pursuant to this offer will be a taxable transaction and should generally result in a gain for federal income tax purposes and may also be taxable under applicable state, local and other tax laws. It is anticipated that approximately 11% of the consideration received will be considered long term capital gain as a result of a portion of your historical dividend distributions being treated as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.

The Offer
1. Introduction
We are offering to acquire all outstanding class B common shares for a cash price per share of $9.25 on the terms and conditions set forth in this offering document. All of the class B common shares that we acquire as a result of this offer will be cancelled.
2. About Your Class B Common Shares
The class B common shares were initially issued by AmREIT as part of the consideration payable to the limited partners of Fund IX, Fund X and Fund XI in connection with the merger of these partnerships into AmREIT in July 2002. The shares were issued at a value of $9.25 per share. Each class B common share receives an annual dividend of 8% of the issue price ($0.74) payable quarterly. The dividend on the class B common shares is cumulative and must be paid before any dividend is payable on AmREIT’s class A common shares. The class B common shares are convertible on a one-for-one basis into class A common shares at any time at the holder’s option. AmREIT can call the class B common shares at any time (as the three-year lock out period has elapsed) at a cash price purchase of $10.18 per share.
3. The Purpose of This Offer
The primary purpose of this offer is to increase the liquidity to the holders of the class B common shares who have not elected to tender their shares for class A common shares. The class B common shares are not listed on an exchange and no market currently exists or is likely to develop for the class B common shares, except through a conversion into class A common shares, which can then be sold on the American Stock Exchange. Participation in this offer will enable holders of class B common shares to dispose of such shares, at a price above where the class A common shares are currently trading, without incurring brokerage commissions.
The holders of the class B common shares are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the tender offer. As a class B common shareholder, you have received an 8% return each year of your investment through the quarterly dividends.
4. Eligibility
To participate in the offer, you must be a holder of class B common shares as of October 11, 2006, the date of this offer, through and including the date this offer expires, which we expect will be December 10, 2006. As of September 28, 2006, there were 2,080,812 class B common shares outstanding and approximately 1,018 holders eligible to participate in this offer.
5. Source and Amount of Consideration
Source
We will use operating cash flow and debt financing to fund the purchase of the class B common shares. As of August 31, 2006, AmREIT’s ratio of debt to market value of assets, assuming a 6.25% cap rate applied to the net operating income of its properties, is approximately 35%. If 100% of the class B shares are acquired in the tender offer, AmREIT’s ratio of debt to market value of assets would increase to approximately 40%.
Consideration
If you elect to tender your class B common shares, you will receive cash consideration of $9.25 per share. As of September 28, 2006, there were a total of 2,080,812 class B common shares outstanding. We are seeking to acquire all these outstanding shares.
Class A Common Shares
Each Class B common share is convertible for one of AmREIT’s class A common shares. AmREIT’s class A common shares are listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “AMY”. As of September 28, 2006, AmREIT traded in a 52-week range of $6.70 to $7.96, with a closing price on September 28, 2006 of $7.30. The class A common shares receive dividends monthly, as declared by AmREIT’s board of trust managers. AmREIT has paid $0.25 of dividends on its class A common shares year to date through June 30, 2006.

6. Procedure for Tendering Class B Common Shares
How to Accept the Offer
Participation in this offer to purchase is voluntary. If you elect not to participate in this offer, your class B common shares will remain outstanding.
To participate in this offer, you must complete and deliver the accompanying letter of transmittal to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Depositary”) at:
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
Shareowner Services
Corporate Actions Department
P.O. Box 64854
St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0854
The letter of transmittal must be received by the Depositary before the expiration time of the offer.
Acceptance for Payment and Payment of the Purchase Price
For purposes of this offer, AmREIT will be deemed to have accepted for payment tendered the class B common shares when, as and if it gives oral or written notice of its acceptance to the Depositary. AmREIT will pay for the class B common shares accepted for payment pursuant to this offer by depositing with the Depositary the purchase price with respect thereto. The Depositary will act as agent for each tendering shareholder for the purpose of receiving payments from AmREIT and transmitting such payments to such tendering shareholder. In all cases, payment for tendered Shares accepted for payment pursuant to the offer will be made only after timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of such shares into the Book-Entry Transfer Account (as defined below), a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and any other required documents. Accordingly, payment may be made to tendering shareholders at different times if delivery of shares and other required documents occurs at different times.
AmREIT will not pay any interest on the consideration paid for Shares pursuant to the Offer, regardless of any delay in making such payment
If any tendered class B common shares are not purchased pursuant to this offer for any reason, the unpurchased class B common shares will be credited to the Book-Entry Transfer Account, without expense to the tendering shareholder, as promptly as practicable following the expiration or termination of this offer.
AmREIT reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its affiliates the right to purchase class B common shares tendered pursuant to this offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve AmREIT of its obligations under this offer or prejudice a shareholder’s right to receive payment for shares validly tendered and accepted for payment.
Book-Entry Delivery
The Depositary will establish an account with respect to the class B common shares (the “Book-Entry Transfer Account”) for purposes of this offer within two business days after the date of this offer to purchase. AmREIT and the holders of the class B common shares participating in this offer shall cause such holder’s shares to be transferred into the Book-Entry Transfer Account. However, although delivery of shares may be effected through book-entry transfer, either the letter of transmittal properly completed and duly executed, together with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, must, in any case, be received by the Depositary at its address set forth on the back cover of this offer to purchase by the expiration date.
Benefits to Tendering Shareholders
Shareholders who hold their class B shares of record will not be obligated to pay brokerage fees, commissions or, except as set forth in Instruction 6 of the Letter of Transmittal, transfer taxes on the sale of class B common shares pursuant to this offer. AmREIT will pay all charges and expenses of the Depositary incurred in connection with this offer.
Back-up Withholding
Under federal income tax laws, the Depositary will be required to back-up withhold a portion of the amount of any payments made to certain shareholders pursuant to this offer. In order to avoid such back-up withholding, a tendering
shareholder must provide the Depositary with a correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) and certify that such shareholder is not subject to such back-up withholding by completing the Substitute Form W-9 included in the Letter of Transmittal. Certain shareholders (including, among others, all corporations) are not subject to back-up withholding. If a shareholder does not provide its correct TIN or fails to provide the certifications described above, the Internal Revenue Service may impose a penalty on the shareholder and payment of cash to the shareholder pursuant to this offer may be subject to back-up withholding if they are able to demonstrate their exemption when required. All shareholders tendering Shares pursuant to this offer should complete and sign the Substitute Form W-9 included in the Letter of Transmittal to provide the information necessary to avoid back-up withholding. If a tendering shareholder is a non-resident alien or foreign entity not subject to back-up withholding, such shareholder must give the Depositary a properly completed Form W-8BEN Certificate of Foreign Status or successor form in order to avoid backup withholding with respect to payments made to such shareholder.
Your election to tender class B common shares through the procedures described above constitutes your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this offer. Our acceptance of your Class B common shares will constitute a binding agreement between AmREIT and you upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this offer.
7. Expiration Date
The expiration date of this offer to purchase is 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on December 10, 2006, unless we decide to extend it. If we extend the offer, the term expiration date means the latest time and date at which the extended offer expires.
8. Withdrawal Rights and Change of Election
You may withdraw all of the class B common shares that you previously elected to tender at any time prior to the expiration date. If we extend the offer, you may withdraw your election at any time until the extended expiration date.
Additionally, although we intend to accept all tendered class B common shares promptly after expiration of the offer, if we have not accepted your shares by 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on December 10, 2006, you may withdraw your election to tender your reload rights at any time thereafter as required by Rule 13e-4(f) (2) (ii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
To validly withdraw your election, you must notify the Depositary in writing or by facsimile. You may also contact AmREIT for a withdrawal form that you must deliver in accordance with the delivery instructions set forth in Section 6.
You may not rescind any withdrawal. Instead, you must re-elect to tender your class B common shares before the expiration date. To re-elect to tender all of your withdrawn class B common shares, you must submit a new election form to the Depository before the expiration date by following the procedures set forth in Section 6 of this offer. This new election form must be dated after your original election form and after your withdrawal form. You will be bound by the last properly submitted election form or withdrawal form we receive before the expiration date.
9. Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a general summary of the material federal income tax consequences of the acceptance of this offer. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations under the Code and administrative and judicial interpretations, as of the date of this document, all of which are subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis). This summary does not discuss all the tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances and it is not intended to be applicable in all respects to all categories of participants.
YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICIPATING IN THE OFFER, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.
The sale of class B common shares to AmREIT pursuant to this offer will be a taxable transaction. A holder of Class B common shares who sells its shares to AmREIT should be treated as if it has sold its shares if the transaction (i) results in a complete termination of its share interest in AmREIT, (ii) is substantially disproportionate with respect to such shareholder or (iii) is not essentially equivalent to a dividend with respect to such shareholder. In determining whether any of these tests has been met, shares considered to be owned by such shareholder by reason of certain constructive
ownership rules set forth in Section 318 of the Code, as well as shares actually owned, must be taken into account. If Class B common shares are purchased by AmREIT in a transaction that meets one of the tests described above, the shareholder should generally recognize gain for United States federal income tax purposes. The transaction may also be a taxable transaction under applicable state, local and other tax laws. In general, such a shareholder who tenders class B common shares pursuant to this offer will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the tax basis of such class B common shares and the amount of cash received in tender therefor. Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if the class B common shares have been held as capital assets and will be long-term gain or loss if the holding period for the class B common shares is more than one year as of the date of the sale of such class B common shares. It is anticipated that approximately 11% of the consideration received will be considered long term capital gain as a result of a portion of your historical dividend distributions being treated as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.
If the transaction does not meet any of the tests described above, the shareholder generally would be taxed on the cash received as a dividend to the extent paid out of AmREIT’s current or accumulated earnings and profits. Any amount in excess of AmREIT’s earnings and profits would first reduce such shareholder’s tax basis in its shares and thereafter would be treated as capital gain. If a purchase of the shares by AmREIT is treated as a distribution that is taxable as a dividend with respect to a shareholder, such holder’s basis in the redeemed shares would be transferred to the remaining shares of AmREIT stock that such shareholder owns, if any.
Under federal income tax law, a non-exempt shareholder who receives a cash payment from AmREIT is required to provide a correct taxpayer identification number. If a shareholder fails to provide such taxpayer identification number, the shareholder may be subject to certain penalties and 28% back-up withholding may be required to be deducted from any cash payment due to the shareholder. (See Section 6 of The Offer)
ANY DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX ISSUES SET FORTH IN THIS OFFERING MEMORANDUM WAS WRITTEN TO SUPPORT THE PROMOTION AND MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS OFFERING MEMORANDUM. SUCH DISCUSSION WAS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND IT CANNOT BE USED, BY ANY PERSON FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING ANY U.S. FEDERAL TAX PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON SUCH PERSON. EACH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.
10. Conditions of the Offer
Notwithstanding any other provision of this offer to purchase, we will not be required to accept any class B common shares that have been tendered, and we may terminate the offer, or postpone our acceptance and cancellation of any class B common shares that have been tendered, in each case, subject to Rule 13e-4(f)(5) under the Exchange Act, if at any time on or after the date this offer begins, and before the expiration date, any of the following events has occurred, or has been determined by us, in our reasonable judgment, to have occurred:
| • | | There has been threatened (orally or in writing) or instituted or is pending any action, proceeding or litigation seeking to enjoin, make illegal or delay completion of the offer or otherwise relating in any manner to the offer, |
|
| • | | Any order, stay, judgment or decree that is issued by any court, governmental authority or other regulatory or administrative authority is in effect, or any statute, rule, regulation, governmental order or injunction has been proposed, enacted, enforced or deemed applicable to the offer, any of which might restrain, prohibit or delay completion of the offer or impair the contemplated benefits of the offer to us, |
|
| • | | Any other event or events occur that have resulted or is likely to result, in our reasonable judgment, in a material impairment of the contemplated benefits of the offer to us. |
If any of the above events occur, we may:
| • | | Terminate this offer without canceling any reload rights of holders electing to participate, |
|
| • | | Complete and/or extend the tender offer, subject to your withdrawal rights, |
|
| • | | Amend the terms of this offer, or |
|
| • | | Waive any unsatisfied condition and, subject to any requirement to extend the period of time during which this offer is open, complete this offer. |
The conditions of this offer are for our benefit. We may assert them in our sole discretion regardless of the circumstances giving rise to them before the expiration date. We may waive any condition, in whole or in part, at any time and from time
to time before the expiration date, in our sole discretion. Our failure at any time to exercise any of these rights will not be deemed a waiver of any such rights. The waiver of any of these rights with respect to particular facts and circumstances will not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances. Any determination we make concerning the events described in this Section 10 will be final and binding upon all persons.
11. Price Range of the Class B Common Shares
The class B common shares were issued at a price of $9.25 per share in connection with the merger of Fund IX, Fund X and Fund XI into AmREIT. The class B common shares are not listed on an exchange and no market currently exists or is likely to develop for the class B common shares.
12. Interests of Trust Managers and Executive Officers; Transactions and Arrangements Concerning the Class B Common Shares
As of October 11, 2006, none of our executive officers or Trust Managers owned any class B common shares. Neither we, nor, to the best of our knowledge, any of our executive officers or trust managers, nor any affiliates of ours, were engaged in transactions involving the class B common shares.
13. Fairness of the Offer
The trust managers have determined that this offer is fair to the holders of the class B common shares and have unanimously approved the offer. In making their fairness determination, the trust managers considered the following factors:
| • | | The fact from trading price of AmREIT’s class A common shares, into which the class B common shares are convertible on a one-for-one basis, is significantly below the purchase price in this offer. |
|
| • | | The class B common shares were issued out at a price of $9.25 per share, which is equal to the purchase price in this offer, and the holders have been paid dividends at 8% per annum since the issue date. |
|
| • | | The payment of cash provides the holder of the class B common shares immediate liquidity. |
Due to the cost involved, the trust managers did not retain an independent financial advisor, commission a fairness opinion, or retain an unaffiliated representative to negotiate the repurchase offer. The repurchase offer does not require the approval of the holders of any class of AmREIT securities.
14. Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals
We are not aware of any license or regulatory permit material to our business that may be adversely affected by our offer to acquire all of our outstanding class B common shares as contemplated by this offer, or of any approval or other action by any government or governmental, administrative or regulatory authority or agency or the American Stock Exchange that would be required for you to tender your class B common shares as contemplated herein. Should any additional approval or other action be required, we presently contemplate that we will seek such approval or take such action. Our obligation under the offer to pay the cash consideration for tendered class B common shares is subject to the conditions described in Section 10 of this offer to purchase.
If we are prohibited by applicable laws or regulations from completing the offer, we will not pay the cash consideration for the tendered class B common shares. We are unaware of any such prohibition at this time.
15. Extension of Offer; Termination and Amendment
We reserve the right, in our discretion, at any time prior to the expiration of this offer and regardless of whether or not any event listed in Section 10 offer to purchase has occurred or is deemed to have occurred, to extend the period of time during which this offer is open and delay the acceptance of any class B common shares. If we elect to extend the period of time during which this offer is open, we will give you written notice of the extension and delay. If we extend the expiration date, we will also extend your right to withdraw elections to participate until the extended expiration date.
We also reserve the right, in our reasonable judgment, before the expiration date to postpone acceptance and cancellation of any tendered class B common shares, regardless of whether any of the events listed in Section 10 occurs, by giving written notice of the termination or postponement to you. Our reservation of the right to delay our acceptance and cancellation of any tendered class B common shares is limited by Rule 13e-4(f)(5) under the Exchange Act, which requires
that we must pay the consideration offered or return the tendered class B common shares promptly after termination or withdrawal of a tender offer.
Subject to compliance with applicable law, we further reserve the right, before the expiration date, in our discretion, and regardless of whether any event listed in Section 10 of this offering to purchase has occurred or is deemed by us to have occurred, to amend the offer in any respect by decreasing or increasing the consideration offered to holders of class B common shares or by decreasing the number of class B common shares being sought in this offer.
The minimum period during which this offer will remain open following material changes in the terms of this offer or in the information concerning this offer, other than a change in the consideration being offered by us or change in the number of class B common shares sought, will depend on the facts and circumstances of such change, including the relative materiality of the terms or information changes. If we modify the number of class B common shares being sought in this offer or the consideration being offered by us for the class B common shares, this offer will remain open for at least ten business days from the date of notice of such modification. If any term of this offer is amended in a manner that we determine constitutes a material change adversely affecting any holder of class B common shares, we will promptly disclose the amendments in a manner reasonably calculated to inform the holder of the amendment, and we will extend the offer period so that at least five business days, or such longer period as may be required by the tender offer rules, remain after the change.
For purposes of this offer, a “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a U.S. federal holiday and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00 midnight, Eastern time.
16. Financial Statements
Our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and for the fiscal years ended 2005, 2004, and 2003 and our unaudited financial statements for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, are included in this offer to purchase.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2006
Note 1. Description of Business and Nature of Operations
AmREIT, a Texas real estate investment trust, is a real estate company with three distinct businesses: a real estate development and operating business, an asset advisory business and a portfolio of Irreplaceable Corners™. As a real estate development and operating company, AmREIT constructs, develops, acquires, disposes of, brokers, leases and manages properties for its own portfolio as well as for its asset advisory group and third parties. As of June 30, 2006, we had over 1.0 million square feet of shopping centers in various stages of development or in the pipeline for our advisory business or for third parties. Our asset advisory business raises private capital for and generates fees from our merchant development partnership funds. Our portfolio of Irreplaceable Corners provides a steady flow of rental income and it primarily consists of retail properties located in high-traffic, highly populated areas – which are held for long-term value. Since listing on the AMEX in July 2002, our total assets have grown from a book value of $48 million to $331 million, and within our asset advisory business, we manage an additional $149 million in assets. Equity within our asset advisory business has grown from $15 million to $85 million over the same period.
AmREIT’s direct predecessor, American Asset Advisers Trust, Inc. (“AAA”), was formed as a Maryland corporation in 1993. Prior to 1998, AAA was externally advised by American Asset Advisors Corp. which was formed in 1985. In June 1998, AAA merged with its advisor and changed its name to AmREIT, Inc. In December 2002, AmREIT, Inc. reorganized as a Texas real estate investment trust and became AmREIT.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Our financial records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AmREIT and its wholly or majority owned subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. Investments in joint ventures and partnerships where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not exercise control, are accounted for using the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We lease space to tenants under agreements with varying terms. The majority of the leases are accounted for as operating leases with revenue being recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the individual leases. Accrued rents are included in tenant receivables. Revenue from tenant reimbursements of taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance is recognized in the period the related expense is recorded. Additionally, certain of the lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on tenants’ sales volumes (contingent or percentage rent). Percentage rents are recognized when the tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements. We recognize lease termination fees in the period that the lease is terminated and collection of the fees is reasonably assured. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we recognized lease termination fees of $601 thousand and $0, respectively. The terms of certain leases require that the building/improvement portion of the lease be accounted for under the direct financing method which treats the building as if we had sold it to the lessee and entered into a long-term financing arrangement with such lessee. This accounting method is appropriate when the lessee has all of the benefits and risks of property ownership that they otherwise would if they owned the building versus leasing it from us.
We have been engaged to provide various real estate services, including development, construction, construction management, property management, leasing and brokerage. The fees for these services are recognized as services are provided and are generally calculated as a percentage of revenues earned or to be earned or of property cost, as appropriate. Revenues from fixed-price construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the physical completion of the structure. Revenues from cost-plus-percentage-fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the percentage fee earned on those costs. Construction management contracts are recognized only to the extent of the fee revenue.
Construction contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and any indirect costs related to contract performance. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from any contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Any profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to any claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Unbilled construction receivables represent reimbursable costs and amounts earned under contracts in progress as of the date of our balance sheet. Such amounts become billable according to contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones or completion of the project. Advance billings represent billings to or collections from clients on contracts in advance of revenues earned thereon. Unbilled construction receivables are generally billed and collected within the twelve months following the date of our balance sheet, and advance billings are generally earned within the twelve months following the date of our balance sheet. As of June 30, 2006, $244,000 of unbilled receivables has been included in “Accounts receivable”
F-6
and $263,000 of unbilled receivables due from related parties has been included in “Accounts receivable – related party”. At December 31, 2005, $700,000 of unbilled receivables has been included in “Accounts receivable” and $2.3 million of unbilled receivables due from related parties has been included in “Accounts receivable – related party”. We had advance billings of $262,000 and $0 as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Securities commission income is recognized as units of our merchant development funds are sold through our wholly-owned subsidiary, AmREIT Securities Company (ASC). Securities commission income is earned as the services are performed and pursuant to the corresponding prospectus or private offering memorandum. Generally, it includes a selling commission of between 6.5% and 7.5%, a dealer manager fee of between 2.5% and 3.25% and offering and organizational costs of 1.0% to 1.50%. The selling commission is then paid out to the unaffiliated selling broker dealer and reflected as securities commission expense. During 2005, we began reflecting the revenues and costs generated by our capital-raising activities associated with the sale of class C and D common shares as issuance costs. We have reclassified prior period amounts to conform to this presentation, and these reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss) or shareholder’s equity as previously reported. There has been no change in the underlying operations of ASC – we will continue to raise capital for AmREIT and affiliated entities as needed and as available on cost-effective terms. ASC’s activities for 2006 to date have been limited to capital-raising for our affiliated merchant development funds.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
Development Properties
Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost. Expenditures related to the development of real estate are carried at cost which includes capitalized carrying charges, acquisition costs and development costs. Carrying charges, primarily interest, real estate taxes and loan acquisition costs, and direct and indirect development costs related to buildings under construction, are capitalized as part of construction in progress. The capitalization of such costs ceases at the earlier of one year from the date of completion of major construction or when the property, or any completed portion, becomes available for occupancy. We capitalize acquisition costs once the acquisition of the property becomes probable. Prior to that time, we expense these costs as acquisition expense.
Acquired Properties and Acquired Lease Intangibles
We account for real estate acquisitions pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,Business Combinations(“SFAS 141”). Accordingly, we allocate the purchase price of the acquired properties to land, building and improvements, identifiable intangible assets and to the acquired liabilities based on their respective fair values. Identifiable intangibles include amounts allocated to acquired out-of-market leases, the value of in-place leases and customer relationship value, if any. We determine fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends and specific market and economic conditions that may affect the property. Factors considered by management in our analysis of determining the as-if-vacant property value include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, tenant demand and other economic conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related expenses. Intangibles related to out-of-market leases and in-place lease value are recorded as acquired lease intangibles and are amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue or amortization expense, as appropriate, over the remaining terms of the underlying leases. Premiums or discounts on acquired out-of-market debt are amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of such debt. We capitalize acquisition costs once the acquisition of the property becomes probable. Prior to that time, we expense these costs as acquisition expense.
Depreciation
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of up to 50 years for buildings, up to 20 years for site improvements and over the term of lease for tenant improvements. Leasehold estate properties, where we own the building and improvements but not the related ground, are amortized over the life of the lease.
Properties Held for Sale
Properties are classified as held for sale if management has decided to market the property for immediate sale in its present condition with the belief that the sale will be completed within one year. Operating properties held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held for sale period. At June 30, 2006, we did not have any properties that were classified as real estate held for sale. At December 31, 2005, we owned two properties with a combined carrying value of $3.6 million that were classified as real estate held for sale, both of which were disposed of during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Our properties generally have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company. The operations and gains on sales reported in discontinued operations include those properties that have been sold or are held for sale and for which operations and cash flows have been clearly distinguished. The operations of these properties have been eliminated from ongoing operations, and we will not have continuing involvement after disposition. Prior periods have been restated to reflect the operations of these properties as discontinued operations.
Impairment
Management reviews its properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. Management determines whether an impairment in value occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), including the residual value of the property, with the carrying value of the individual property. If impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.
F-7
RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS
Tenant receivables
Included in tenant receivables are base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to recording rents on a straight-line basis. An allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable is determined based upon customer credit-worthiness (including expected recovery of our claim with respect to any tenants in bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels, and current economic trends. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $84,000 and $163,000, respectively, related to our tenant receivables.
Accounts receivable
Included in accounts receivable are amounts due from clients of our construction services business and various other receivables. As of both June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $264,000 related to our accounts receivable.
Notes receivable – related party
Included in related party notes receivable are loans made to our affiliated merchant development funds as part of our treasury management function whereby we place excess cash in short-term bridge loans for these affiliates related to the acquisition or development of properties. We typically provide such financing to our affiliates as a way of efficiently deploying our excess cash and earning a higher return than we would in other short term investments or overnight funds. In most cases, the merchant development funds have a construction lender in place, and we simply step in and provide financing on the same terms as the third party lender. In so doing, we are able to access these funds as needed by having our affiliate then draw down on their construction loans. These loans are unsecured, bear interest at the prime rate (8.25% at June 30, 2006) and are due upon demand.
DEFERRED COSTS
Deferred costs include deferred leasing costs and deferred loan costs, net of amortization. Deferred loan costs are incurred in obtaining property financing and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt agreements. Deferred leasing costs consist of internal and external commissions associated with leasing our properties and are amortized to expense over the lease term. Accumulated amortization related to deferred loan costs as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 totaled $337,000 and $268,000, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to leasing costs as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 totaled $196,000 and $164,000, respectively.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION
Our deferred compensation and long term incentive plan is designed to attract and retain the services of our trust managers and employees that we consider essential to our long-term growth and success. As such, it is designed to provide them with the opportunity to own shares, in the form of restricted shares, in us, and provide key employees the opportunity to participate in the success of our affiliated actively managed merchant development funds through the economic participation in our general partner companies. All long term compensation awards are designed to vest over a period of three to seven years and promote retention of our team.
Restricted Share Issuances
Deferred compensation includes grants of restricted shares to our trust managers and employees as a form of long-term compensation. The share grants vest over a period of three to seven years. We determine the fair value of the restricted shares as the number of shares awarded multiplied by the closing price per share of our class A common shares on the grant date. We amortize such fair value ratably over the vesting periods of the respective awards. The following table presents restricted share activity during the six months ended June 30, 2006:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Non-vested shares | | Wtd. avg. grant date fair value |
Beginning of period | | | 253,002 | | | $ | 7.49 | |
Granted | | | 89,468 | | | | 7.00 | |
Vested | | | (32,777 | ) | | | 7.27 | |
Forfeited | | | (1,306 | ) | | | 7.56 | |
| | | | | | | | |
End of period | | | 308,387 | | | | 7.37 | |
The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted shares issued during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $7.00 per share and $8.10 per share, respectively. The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $238 thousand and $237 thousand, respectively. Total compensation cost recognized related to restricted shares during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $279 thousand and $308 thousand, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted shares was $1.8 million, and the weighted average period over which we expect this cost to be recognized is 4.3 years.
General Partner Profit Participation Interests
We have assigned up to 45% of the economic interest in certain of our merchant development funds to certain of our key employees. This economic interest is received, as, if and when we receive economic benefit from our profit participation, after certain preferred returns have been paid to the partnership’s limited partners. This assignment of economic interest generally vests over a period of five to seven years. This allows us to align the interest of our employees with the interest of our shareholders. Because the future profits and earnings from the retail limited partnerships cannot be reasonably predicted or estimated, and any employee benefit is contingent upon the benefit received by the general partner of the retail limited partnerships, we recognize expense associated with the assignment of economic interest in our retail limited partnerships as we recognize the corresponding income from the associated
F-8
merchant development funds. No portion of the economic interest in the merchant development funds that have provided profit participation to us to date have been assigned to employees. Therefore, no compensation expense has been recorded to date.
Tax-Deferred Retirement Plan (401k)
We maintain a defined contribution 401k retirement plan for our employees. This plan is available for all employees immediately upon employment. The plan allows for contributions to be either invested in an array of large, mid and small cap mutual funds or directly into class A common shares. Employee contributions invested in our stock are limited to 50% of the employee’s contributions. We match 50% of the employee’s contribution, up to a maximum employee contribution of 4%. None of the employer contribution can be matched in our stock.
Stock Options
Additionally, we are authorized to grant options of our class A common stock as either incentive or non-qualified share options, up to an aggregate of 6.0% of the total voting shares outstanding. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, none of these options have been granted.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
AmREIT has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and is, therefore, not subject to Federal income taxes to the extent of dividends paid, provided it meets all conditions specified by the Internal Revenue Code for retaining its REIT status, including the requirement that at least 90% of its real estate investment trust taxable income be distributed to shareholders.
AmREIT’s real estate development and operating business, AmREIT Realty Investment Corporation and subsidiaries (“ARIC”), is a fully integrated and wholly-owned business consisting of brokers and real estate professionals that provide development, acquisition, brokerage, leasing, construction, asset and property management services to our publicly traded portfolio and merchant development funds as well as to third parties. ARIC and our wholly-owned corporations that serve as the general partners of our merchant development funds are treated for Federal income tax purposes as taxable REIT subsidiaries (collectively, the “Taxable REIT Subsidiaries”). Federal and state income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income (loss) available to class A common shareholders by the weighted average number of class A common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income (as adjusted as appropriate) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of dilutive potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share information is not applicable due to the anti-dilutive nature of the common class B, class C and class D shares which represent 25.8 million and 17.3 million potential common shares for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The following table presents information necessary to calculate basic and diluted earnings per class A share for the three and six months ended June 30, as indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quarter | | Year to Date |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | | 2006 | | 2005 |
Loss to class A common shareholders (in thousands) | | ($ | 1,661 | ) | | ($ | 310 | ) | | ($ | 3,475 | ) | | ($ | 584 | ) |
Weighted average class A common shares outstanding (in thousands) | | | 6,348 | | | | 4,435 | | | | 6,339 | | | | 3,956 | |
Basic and diluted loss per share | | ($ | 0.26 | ) | | ($ | 0.07 | ) | | ($ | 0.55 | ) | | ($ | 0.15 | ) |
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our consolidated financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities and notes payable. The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities are representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Our revolving line of credit has market-based terms, including a variable interest rate. Accordingly, the carrying value of the line of credit is representative of its fair value.
As of June 30, 2006, the carrying value of our total debt obligations was $136.7 million, $133.2 million of which represented fixed rate obligations and had an estimated fair value of $130.0 million. As of December 31, 2005, the carrying value of our total debt obligations was $114.7 million, all of which represented fixed-rate obligations with an estimated fair value of $117.3 million.
F-9
CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
In December 2003, the FASB reissued Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46R”),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,as revised. FIN 46R addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights. FIN 46R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company that is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. Disclosures are also required about variable interest entities in which a company has a significant variable interest but that it is not required to consolidate.
As of June 30, 2006, we are an investor in and the primary beneficiary of one entity that qualifies as a variable interest entity pursuant to FIN 46R. This entity was established to develop, own, manage, and hold property for investment and comprises $2.9 million of our total consolidated assets at period end. This entity had no debt outstanding at period end.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF Issue No. 04-05 (“EITF 04-05”),Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights.EITF 04-05 makes it more likely that general partners will be required to consolidate limited partnerships by making it more difficult for a general partner to overcome the presumption that it controls the limited partnership. Under this new guidance, the presumption of general partner control will be overcome only when the limited partners have either of two types of rights – the right to dissolve or liquidate the partnership or otherwise remove the general partner “without cause” or the right to effectively participate in significant decisions made in the ordinary course of the partnership’s business. These ‘kick-out rights’ and ‘participating rights’ must be substantive in order to overcome the presumption of general partner control. The guidance is effective June 29, 2005 for all newly-formed limited partnerships and for existing limited partnership agreements that are modified. The guidance is effective for existing limited partnership agreements that are not modified no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted EITF 04-05 during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, and it had no impact on our financial position or results of operations because the limited partners have substantive kick-out rights in each of the limited partnerships for which we serve as the general partner.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123R (“SFAS 123R”),Share-Based Paymentthat requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards. SFAS 123R became effective in the first quarter of 2006. We have historically not used stock options as a means of compensating our employees, and therefore we have no stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2006. Our strategy to date has been to compensate our employees through issuance of our restricted class A common shares. We determine the fair value of such awards based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant and then record that expense over the vesting period of the respective awards. The provisions of SFAS 123R did not change this accounting treatment for our restricted share awards. Accordingly, our adoption of SFAS 123R did not materially impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards board issued Statement No. 153 (“SFAS 153”),Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary transactions occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS 153 will no longer allow nonmonetary exchanges to be recorded at book value with no gain being recognized. Nonmonetary exchanges will be accounted for at fair value, recognizing any gain or loss, if the transaction meets a commercial substance criterion and fair value is determinable. To prevent gain recognition on exchanges of real estate when the risks and rewards of ownership are not fully transferred, SFAS 153 precludes a gain from being recognized if the entity has significant continuing involvement with the real estate given up in the exchange. We have historically not entered into nonmonetary transactions, and SFAS 153 will impact us only to the extent that we engage in such transactions.

STOCK ISSUANCE COSTS
Issuance costs incurred in the raising of capital through the sale of common shares are treated as a reduction of shareholders’ equity.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits at commercial banks and money market funds.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period consolidated financial statements. Specifically, revenues for 2005 have been reduced to reflect as issuance costs the capital-raising activities of our securities operations related to our class C and class D common shares. Expenses incurred in conjunction with these capital-raising activities during 2005 were reduced by a corresponding amount. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss) or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.
Note 3. Investments in Merchant Development Funds and Other Affiliates
Merchant Development Funds
As of June 30, 2006, we, indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries, owned interests in five limited partnerships which are accounted for under the equity method as we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, the investee. In each of the partnerships, the limited partners, with or without cause, have the right to remove and replace the general partner by a vote of the limited partners owning a majority of the outstanding units. These five merchant development funds were formed to develop, own, manage and add value to properties with an average holding period of two to four years. Our interests in these merchant development funds range from 1.4% to 10.5%.
AmREIT Opportunity Fund (“AOF”)
AmREIT Opportunity Corporation (“AOC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AmREIT, invested $250 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in AOF. AmREIT currently owns a 10.5% limited partner interest in AOF. Liquidation of AOF commenced in July of 2002, and, as of June 30, 2006, AOF has an interest in one property. As the general partner, AOC receives a promoted interest in cash flow and profits after certain preferred returns are achieved for its limited partners.
AmREIT Income & Growth Fund, Ltd. (“AIG”)
AmREIT Income & Growth Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of AmREIT, invested $200 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in AIG. AmREIT currently owns an approximate 2.0% limited partner interest in AIG.
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Fund (“MIG”)
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of AmREIT, invested $200 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in MIG. AmREIT currently owns an approximate 1.4% limited partner interest in MIG.
F-11
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Fund II (“MIG II”)
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth II Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of AmREIT, invested $400 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in MIG II. AmREIT currently owns an approximate 1.6% limited partner interest in MIG II.
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Fund III (“MIG III”)
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth III Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary, invested $800 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in MIG III. MIG III began raising money in June 2005, and, as of June 30, 2006, had raised approximately $35.0 million. Our $800 thousand investment currently represents a 2.3% limited partner interest in MIG III. As additional limited partner units are sold in MIG III, we expect our limited partnership interest will decline to between 0.8% and 1.6%.
The following table sets forth certain financial information for the AIG, MIG, MIG II and MIG III merchant development funds (AOF is not included as it is currently in liquidation):

Other affiliate
Other than the merchant development funds, we have an investment in one entity that is accounted for under the equity method since we exercise significant influence over, but do not control such investee. We invested $1.1 million in West Road Plaza, LP, and we have a 25% limited partner interest in the partnership. West Road Plaza was formed in 2004 to acquire, redevelop, lease and manage West Road Plaza, a shopping center located on the north side of Houston, Texas at the intersection of I-45 and West Road. Additionally, as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we have notes receivable due from West Road Plaza of $9.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively. These receivables represent short-term bridge loans that we made to West Road Plaza in order to efficiently manage our excess cash as part of our treasury management function. These loans are unsecured, bear interest at the prime rate (8.25% at June 30, 2006) and are due upon demand.

Note 4. Acquired Lease Intangibles
In accordance with SFAS 141, we have identified and recorded the value of intangibles at the property acquisition date. Such intangibles include the value of in-place leases and out-of-market leases. These assets are amortized over the leases’ remaining terms, which range from 4 months to 20 years. The amortization of above-market leases is recorded as a reduction of rental income and the amortization of in-place leases is recorded to amortization expense. The amortization expense related to in-place leases was $1.9 million and $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively. The amortization of above-market leases, which was recorded as a reduction of rental income, was $285,000 and $121,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively.

Below-market leases are amortized over the leases’ remaining terms, which range from 4 months to 16 years. The amortization of below-market leases, which was recorded as an increase to rental income was $244,000 and $232,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively.

We have an unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in place which is being used to provide funds for the acquisition of properties and working capital. The Credit Facility matures in November 2007 and provides that we may borrow up to $40 million subject to the value of unencumbered assets. The Credit Facility contains covenants which, among other restrictions, require us to maintain a minimum net worth, a maximum leverage ratio, maximum tenant concentration ratios, specified interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. On June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all financial covenants. The Credit Facility’s annual interest rate varies depending upon our debt to asset ratio, from LIBOR plus a spread of 1.35% to 2.35%. As of June 30, 2006, the interest rate was 7.58%. As of June 30, 2006, there was a balance outstanding of $3.5 million under the Credit Facility. We have approximately $34.5 million available under the Credit Facility, subject to the covenants above. We have $2 million in letters of credit outstanding related to various properties. These letters of credit reduce our availability under the Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2006, the weighted average interest rate on our fixed-rate debt was 6.02%, and the weighted average remaining life of such debt was 7.6 years. We added fixed-rate debt of $20 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006. In conjunction with the acquisition of Uptown Park during 2005, we added $49.0 million in new fixed-rate debt. All other acquisitions in 2005 were funded by cash.

Note 7. Stockholders’ Equity and Minority Interest
Class A Common Shares
Our class A common shares are listed on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) and traded under the symbol “AMY.” As of June 30, 2006, there were 6,313,839 of our class A common shares outstanding, net of 214,572 shares held in treasury. During June 2005, we completed an offering of our class A common shares. We issued 2.76 million shares, including the underwriters’ 360,000 share overallotment, at $8.10 per share in such offering. The offering proceeds were used to fund the acquisition of the Uptown Park shopping center. Our payment of any future dividends to our class A common shareholders is dependent upon applicable legal and contractual restrictions, including the provisions of the class B and class C common shares, as well as our earnings and financial needs.
Class B Common Shares
The class B common shares are not listed on an exchange and there is currently no available trading market for the class B common shares.

They receive a fixed 8.0% cumulative and preferred annual dividend, paid in quarterly installments, and are convertible into the class A common shares on a one-for-one basis at any time, at the holder’s option. Beginning in July 2005, we have the right to call the shares and, at the holder’s option, either convert them on a one-for-one basis for class A shares or redeem them for $10.18 per share in cash plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. As of June 30, 2006, there were 2,099,516 of our class B common shares outstanding.

F-14
at the holder’s option.

Minority Interest
Minority interest represents a third-party interest in entities that we consolidate as a result of our controlling financial interest in such investees.
Note 8. Related Party Transactions
See Note 3 regarding investments in merchant development funds and other affiliates and Note 2 regarding notes receivable from affiliates.
We earn real estate fee income by providing property acquisition, leasing, property management, construction and construction management services to our merchant development funds. We own 100% of the stock of the companies that serve as the general partner for the funds. Real estate fee income of $1.7 million was paid by our merchant development funds to us for both of the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005. Additionally, construction revenues of $3.8 million were earned from the merchant development funds during 2006. The Company earns asset management fees from the funds for providing accounting related services, investor relations, facilitating the deployment of capital, and other services provided in conjunction with operating the fund. Asset management fees of $344,000 and $237,000 were paid by the funds to us for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively.
As a sponsor of real estate investment opportunities to the NASD financial planning broker-dealer community, we maintain an indirect 1% general partner interest in the investment funds that we sponsor. The funds are typically structured such that the limited partners receive 99% of the available cash flow until 100% of their original invested capital has been returned and a preferred return has been met. Once this has happened, then the general partner begins sharing in the available cash flow at various promoted levels. We also may assign a portion of this general partner interest in these investment funds to our employees as long term, contingent compensation. We believe that this assignment will align the interest of management with that of the shareholders, while at the same time allowing for a competitive compensation structure in order to attract and retain key management positions without increasing the overhead burden.
On March 20, 2002, the Company formed AAA CTL Notes, Ltd. (“AAA”), a majority owned subsidiary which is consolidated in our financial statements, through which the Company purchased fifteen IHOP leasehold estate properties and two IHOP fee simple properties.
Note 9. Real Estate Acquisitions and Dispositions
On March 30, 2006, we acquired Uptown Plaza in Dallas, a 34,000 square foot multi-tenant retail complex which was developed in 2005.

Uptown Plaza is located at the corner of McKinney and Pearl Street in an infill location with high barriers to entry and the property services the surrounding affluent residential and downtown areas. The property was acquired for cash which was substantially funded by proceeds from our credit facility.
Additionally, during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we sold two properties which were recorded as real estate held for sale at December 31, 2005.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders AmREIT:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AmREIT and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the related financial statement schedule. These consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As such, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AmREIT and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

AmREIT
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Description of Business and Nature of Operations
AmREIT, a Texas real estate investment trust, is a real estate company with three distinct businesses: a real estate development and operating business, an asset advisory business and a portfolio of Irreplaceable Corners™. As a real estate development and operating company, AmREIT constructs, develops, acquires, disposes of, brokers, leases and manages properties for its own portfolio as well as for its asset advisory group and third parties. As of December 31, 2005, AmREIT had over 1.3 million square feet of shopping centers in various stages of development or in the pipeline for its advisory group or for third parties. AmREIT’s asset advisory group raises private capital for and generates fees from its merchant development partnership funds. AmREIT’s portfolio of “Irreplaceable Corners™”, provides a steady flow of rental income. It primarily consists of retail properties located in high-traffic, highly populated areas – which are held for long-term value. Since listing on the AMEX in July 2002, AmREIT’s total assets have grown from a book value of $48 million to $315 million, and equity within its asset advisory group has grown from $15 million to $61 million.
AmREIT’s direct predecessor, American Asset Advisers Trust, Inc., was formed as a Maryland Corporation in 1993. American Asset Advisors Corp., our external advisor which was formed in 1985, was merged into the Company in June 1998, at which time we changed our name to AmREIT, Inc. In December 2002, we reorganized as a Texas real estate investment trust.
On July 23, 2002, the Company completed a merger with three of its affiliated partnerships, AAA Net Realty Fund IX, Ltd., AAA Net Realty Fund X, Ltd., and AAA Net Realty Fund XI, Ltd. With the merger of the affiliated partnerships, AmREIT increased its real estate assets by approximately $24.3 million and issued approximately 2.6 million Class B common shares to the limited partners in the affiliated partnerships. Approximately $760,000 in 8 year, interest only, subordinated notes were issued to limited partners of the affiliated partnerships who dissented against the merger. These notes were paid off subsequent to December 31, 2005. The acquired properties are unencumbered, single tenant, free standing properties on lease to national and regional tenants, where the lease is the direct obligation of the parent company.
A deferred merger expense resulted from the shares payable to H. Kerr Taylor, our President and Chief Executive Officer, as a result of the merger, which shares represented a portion of consideration payable to Mr. Taylor as a result of the sale of his advisory company to AmREIT. Mr. Taylor earned approximately 143,000 shares during 2003 as a result of our class C common share offering, resulting in a non-cash charge to earnings of approximately $915,000. During 2004, Mr. Taylor earned an additional 241,000 shares under the deferred consideration agreement as a result of the issuance of additional class C common shares, resulting in a non-cash charge to earnings of $1.7 million. This share issuance in 2004 represented the final installment of shares owed to him pursuant to the agreement. To date, Mr. Taylor has received 900,000 class A common shares, and no further shares will be issued under this arrangement.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The financial records of the Company are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AmREIT and its wholly or majority owned subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. Investments in joint ventures and partnerships where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not exercise financial and operating control, are accounted for using the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
We lease space to tenants under agreements with varying terms. The majority of the leases are accounted for as operating leases with revenue being recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the individual leases. Accrued rents are included in tenant receivables. Revenue from tenant reimbursements of taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance is recognized in the period the related expense is recorded. Additionally, certain of the lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on tenants’ sales volumes (contingent or percentage rent). Percentage rents are recognized when the tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements. The terms of certain leases require that the building/improvement portion of the lease be accounted for under the direct financing method. Such method requires that a portion of such cash flows be recognized as earned income over the life of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return.
We have been engaged to provide various services, including development, construction, construction management, property management, leasing and brokerage. The fees for these services are recognized as services are provided and are generally calculated as a percentage of revenues earned or to be earned or of property cost, as appropriate. Revenues from fixed-price construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the physical completion of the structure. Revenues from cost-plus-percentage-fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the percentage fee earned on those costs. Construction management contracts are recognized only to the extent of the fee revenue.
Construction contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and any indirect costs related to contract performance. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from any contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are
F-25
determined. Any profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to any claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Unbilled construction receivables represent reimbursable costs and amounts earned under contracts in progress as of the date of our balance sheet. Such amounts become billable according to contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones or completion of the project. Advance billings represent billings to or collections from clients on contracts in advance of revenues earned thereon. Unbilled construction receivables are generally billed and collected within the twelve months following the date of our balance sheet, and advance billings are generally earned within the twelve months following the date of our balance sheet. As of December 31, 2005, $700,000 of unbilled receivables has been included in “Accounts receivable” and $2.3 million of unbilled receivables due from related parties has been included in “Accounts receivable – related party”. We had no advance billings as of December 31, 2005.
Securities commission income is recognized as units of our merchant development funds are sold through AmREIT Securities Company. Securities commission income is earned as the services are performed and pursuant to the corresponding prospectus or private offering memorandum. Generally, it includes a selling commission of between 6.5% and 7.5%, a dealer manager fee of between 2.5% and 3.25% and offering and organizational costs of 1.0% to 1.50%. The selling commission is then paid out to the unaffiliated selling broker dealer and reflected as securities commission expense.
Real Estate Investments
Development Properties
Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost. Expenditures related to the development of real estate are carried at cost which includes capitalized carrying charges, acquisition costs and development costs. Carrying charges, primarily interest, real estate taxes and loan acquisition costs, and direct and indirect development costs related to buildings under construction, are capitalized as part of construction in progress. The capitalization of such costs ceases at the earlier of one year from the date of completion of major construction or when the property, or any completed portion, becomes available for occupancy. The Company capitalizes acquisition costs once the acquisition of the property becomes probable. Prior to that time, the Company expenses these costs as acquisition expense. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, interest and taxes in the amount of $188,000, $165,000 and $0, respectively were capitalized on properties under development.
Acquired Properties and Acquired Lease Intangibles
We account for real estate acquisitions pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,Business Combinations(“SFAS 141”). Accordingly, we allocate the purchase price of the acquired properties to land, building and improvements, identifiable intangible assets and to the acquired liabilities based on their respective fair values. Identifiable intangibles include amounts allocated to acquired out-of-market leases, the value of in-place leases and customer relationship value, if any. We determine fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends and specific market and economic conditions that may affect the property. Factors considered by management in our analysis of determining the as-if-vacant property value include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, tenant demand and other economic conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related expenses. Intangibles related to out-of-market leases and in-place lease value are recorded as acquired lease intangibles and are amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue or amortization expense, as appropriate, over the remaining terms of the underlying leases. Premiums or discounts on acquired out-of-market debt are amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of such debt.
Depreciation
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of up to 50 years for buildings, up to 20 years for site improvements and over the term of lease for tenant improvements. Leasehold estate properties, where we own the building and improvements but not the related ground, are amortized over the life of the lease.
Properties Held for Sale
Properties are classified as held for sale if management has decided to market the property for immediate sale in its present condition with the belief that the sale will be completed within one year. Operating properties held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held for sale period. At December 31, 2005, we owned two properties with a combined carrying value of $3.6 million that were classified as real estate held for sale. At December 31, 2004, we owned nine properties with a combined carrying value of $6.3 million that were classified as real estate held for sale.
Our properties generally have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company. The operations and gains on sales reported in discontinued operations include those properties that have been sold or are held for sale and for which operations and cash flows have been clearly distinguished. The operations of these properties have been eliminated from ongoing operations, and we will not have continuing involvement after disposition. Prior periods have been restated to reflect the operations of these properties as discontinued operations.
Impairment
Management reviews its properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. Management determines whether an impairment in value occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), including the residual value of the property, with the carrying value of the individual property. If impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. During 2004, impairment charges in the aggregate
F-26
amount of $2.4 million were recognized related to two of our single-tenant properties that were held for sale during 2004, one of which was sold during 2004 and the other of which was sold in December 2005. These impairment charges are reported as discontinued operations.
Receivables and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
Tenant receivables
Included in tenant receivables are base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to recording rents on a straight-line basis. An allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable is determined based upon customer credit-worthiness (including expected recovery of our claim with respect to any tenants in bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels, and current economic trends. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, we had an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $163,000 and $97,000, respectively, related to our tenant receivables. During 2005, 2004 and 2003, we recorded bad debt expense in the amount of $163,000, $0 and $97,000 respectively, related to tenant receivables that we specifically identified as potentially uncollectible based on our assessment of the tenant’s credit-worthiness. During 2005, we had bad debt recoveries of $97,000. We had no recoveries of bad debt in 2004 or 2003 related to tenant receivables. Bad debt expense and recoveries are included in general and administrative expense.
Accounts receivable
included in accounts receivable are amounts due from clients of our construction services business and various other receivables. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, we had an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $264,000 and $0, respectively, related to our accounts receivable. During 2005, we recorded bad debt expense in the amount of $264,000 related to amounts due to us as reimbursement from a vendor for obligations that we paid on such vendor’s behalf. We believe such amounts to be potentially uncollectible based on our assessment of the vendor’s credit-worthiness and other considerations. We have recorded no other bad debt expense related to accounts receivable during the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. Bad debt expense and recoveries are included in general and administrative expense.
Notes receivable – related party
included in related party notes receivable are loans made to our affiliated merchant development funds as part of our treasury management function whereby we place excess cash in short term bridge loans for these affiliates related to the acquisition or development of properties. We typically provide such financing to our affiliates as a way of efficiently deploying our excess cash and earning a higher return than we would in other short term investments or overnight funds. In most cases, the funds have a construction lender in place, and we simply step in and provide financing on the same terms as the third party lender. In so doing, we are able to access these funds as needed by having our affiliate then draw down on their construction loans. These loans are unsecured, bear interest at rates ranging from 6.7% to 7.0% and are due upon demand.
Deferred Costs
Deferred costs include deferred leasing costs and deferred loan costs, net of amortization. Deferred loan costs are incurred in obtaining property financing and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt agreements. Deferred leasing costs consist of external commissions associated with leasing our properties and are amortized to expense over the lease term. Accumulated amortization related to deferred loan costs as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 totaled $268,000 and $185,000, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to leasing costs as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 totaled $164,000 and $108,000, respectively.
Deferred Compensation
Our deferred compensation and long term incentive plan is designed to attract and retain the services of our trust managers and employees that we consider essential to our long-term growth and success. As such, it is designed to provide them with the opportunity to own shares, in the form of restricted shares, in us, and provide key employees the opportunity to participate in the success of our affiliated actively managed merchant development funds through the economic participation in our general partner companies. All long term compensation awards are designed to vest over a period of three to seven years, and promote retention of our team. We amortize the fair value, established at the date of grant, of the restricted shares ratably over the vesting period.
Deferred compensation includes share grants to employees as a form of long-term compensation. The share grants vest over a period of three to seven years. Additionally, we have assigned a portion, up to 45%, of the economic interest in certain of our merchant development funds to certain of our key employees. This economic interest is received, as, if and when we receive economic benefit from our profit participation, after certain preferred returns have been paid to the partnership’s limited partners. This assignment of economic interest generally vests over a period of five to seven years. This allows us to align the interest of our employees with the interest of our shareholders. Because the future profits and earnings from the retail limited partnerships cannot be reasonably predicted or estimated, and any employee benefit is completely contingent upon the benefit received by the general partner of the retail limited partnerships, we recognize expense associated with the assignment of economic interest in our retail limited partnerships as we recognize the corresponding income from the associated merchant development funds. No portion of the economic interest in the merchant development funds that have provided profit participation to us to date have been assigned to employees. Therefore, no compensation expense has been recorded to date.
We maintain a defined contribution 401k retirement plan for our employees. This plan is available for all employees, immediately upon employment. The plan allows for two open enrollment periods, June and December. The plan allows for contributions to be either invested in an array of large, mid and small cap mutual funds or directly into class A common shares. Employee contributions invested in our stock are limited to 50% of the employee’s contributions. We match 50% of the employees contribution, up to a maximum employee contribution of 4%. None of the employer contribution is matched in our stock. As of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, there were 41, 25 and 21 participants enrolled in the plan, with employer contributions of $92,000, $51,000 and $35,000, respectively.
F-27
We are authorized to grant options on up to an aggregate of 1,422,335 shares of our class A common stock as either incentive or non-qualified stock options. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, none of such options have been issued.
Federal Income Taxes
AmREIT has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and is, therefore, not subject to Federal income taxes to the extent of dividends paid, provided it meets all conditions specified by the Internal Revenue Code for retaining its REIT status, including the requirement that at least 90% of its real estate investment trust taxable income be distributed to shareholders.
AmREIT’s real estate operating and development business, AmREIT Realty Investment Corporation and subsidiaries (“ARIC”), is a fully integrated and wholly-owned business consisting of brokers and real estate professionals that provide development, acquisition, brokerage, leasing, construction, asset and property management services to our publicly traded portfolio and merchant development funds as well as to third parties. ARIC and our wholly-owned corporations that serve as the general partners of our merchant development funds are treated for Federal income tax purposes as taxable REIT subsidiaries (collectively, the “Taxable REIT Subsidiaries”). Federal and state income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income (loss) available to class A common shareholders by the weighted average number of class A common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income (as adjusted as appropriate) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of dilutive potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share information is not applicable due to the anti-dilutive nature of the common class B, class C and class D shares which represent 22.2 million,11.4 million and 4.8 million potential common shares for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The following table presents information necessary to calculate basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | For the Years Ended December 31, |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | | 2003 |
(Loss) earnings to class A common shareholders (in thousands)* | | $ | 881 | | | $ | (3,866 | ) | | $ | 56 | |
Weighted average class A common shares outstanding (in thousands) | | | 5,205 | | | | 3,251 | | | | 2,792 | |
Basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per Class A common share * | | $ | 0.17 | | | $ | (1.19 | ) | | $ | 0.02 | |
| | |
* | | The operating results for 2004 and 2003 include a charge to earnings of $1.7 million and $915 thousand, respectively, which was the market value of the class A common shares issued to H. Kerr Taylor, President & CEO, related to the sale of his advisory company to us in 1998. The charge represented deferred merger costs related to this sale that was triggered by the issuance of additional common stock as part of the merger with certain of our affiliated investment funds during 2002 and the issuance of common C stock in 2003 and in 2004. Additionally, the operating results for 2004 include impairment charges of $2.4 million, which are related to two of our single-tenant properties that were held for sale during 2004, one of which was sold during 2004 and another of which was sold in December 2005. |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our consolidated financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities and notes payable. The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities are representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Our revolving line of credit has market-based terms, including a variable interest rate. Accordingly, the carrying value of the line of credit is representative of its fair value.
As of December 31, 2005, the carrying value of our total debt obligations was $114.7 million, all of which represent fixed-rate obligations with an estimated fair value of $117.3 million. As of December 31, 2004, the carrying value of our total debt obligations was $106.0 million, $68.0 million of which represented fixed rate obligations and had an estimated fair value of $70.3 million.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
In December 2003, the FASB reissued Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46R”),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,as revised. FIN 46R addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights. FIN 46R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company that is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. Disclosures are also required about variable interest entities in which a company has a significant variable interest but that it is not required to consolidate.
As of December 31, 2005, we are an investor in and the primary beneficiary of one entity that qualifies as a variable interest entity pursuant to FIN 46R. This entity was established to develop, own, manage, and hold property for investment and comprises $3.8 million of our total consolidated assets at period end. This entity had no debt outstanding at period end. We historically consolidated this entity (and others with similar economic and control provisions) under generally accepted accounting principles in effect prior to the issuance of FIN 46R; accordingly, our adoption of FIN 46R has had no effect on our financial position or results of operations.
F-28
New Accounting Standards
In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF Issue No. 04-05 (“EITF 04-05”),Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. EITF 04-05 makes it more likely that general partners will be required to consolidate limited partnerships by making it more difficult for a general partner to overcome the presumption that it controls the limited partnership. Under this new guidance, the presumption of general partner control will be overcome only when the limited partners have either of two types of rights – the right to dissolve or liquidate the partnership or otherwise remove the general partner “without cause” or the right to effectively participate in significant decisions made in the ordinary course of the partnership’s business. These ‘kick-out rights’ and ‘participating rights’ must be substantive in order to overcome the presumption of general partner control. The guidance is effective June 29, 2005 for all newly-formed limited partnerships and for existing limited partnership agreements that are modified. The guidance is effective for existing limited partnership agreements that are not modified no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We believe that EITF 04-05 will not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations because we believe that the limited partners have substantive kick-out rights in each of the limited partnerships for which we serve as the general partner.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123R (“SFAS 123R”),Share-Based Paymentthat requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards. SFAS 123R becomes effective in the first quarter of 2006. We have historically not used stock options as a means of compensating our employees, and therefore we have no stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2005. Our strategy to date has been to compensate our employees through issuance of restricted shares of our class A common stock. We determine the fair value of such awards based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant and then record that expense over the vesting period of the respective awards. The provisions of SFAS 123R will not change this accounting treatment for our restricted stock awards. Accordingly, we do not believe that our adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006 will impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards board issued Statement No. 153 (“SFAS 153”),Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary transactions occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS 153 will no longer allow nonmonetary exchanges to be recorded at book value with no gain being recognized. Nonmonetary exchanges will be accounted for at fair value, recognizing any gain or loss, if the transaction meets a commercial substance criterion and fair value is determinable. To prevent gain recognition on exchanges of real estate when the risks and rewards of ownership are not fully transferred, SFAS 153 precludes a gain from being recognized if the entity has significant continuing involvement with the real estate given up in the exchange. We have historically not entered into nonmonetary transactions, and SFAS 153 will impact us only to the extent that we engage in such transactions.
In March 2005, the FASB issued final guidance that clarifies how companies should account for “conditional” asset retirement obligations. Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN 47”),Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligationsclarifies that the termconditional asset retirement obligationas used in FASB Statement No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized when incurred—generally upon acquisition, construction, or development and (or) through the normal operation of the asset. Uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. Statement 143 acknowledges that in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. This Interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. We adopted FIN 47 during 2005; however, the adoption had no effect on our financial condition or results of operations as we have no material asset retirement obligations on any of our properties.

Stock Issuance Costs
Issuance costs incurred in the raising of capital through the sale of common shares are treated as a reduction of shareholders’ equity.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits at commercial banks and money market funds.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current year consolidated financial statements. Specifically, revenues for 2004 and 2003 have been reduced to reflect as issuance costs the capital-raising activities of our securities operations related to our class C and class D common shares. Expenses incurred in conjunction with these capital-raising activities during 2004 and 2003 were reduced by a corresponding amount. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss) or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

Note 5. Investments in Merchant Development Funds and Other Affiliates
Merchant Development Funds
As of December 31, 2005, we, indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries, owned interests in five limited partnerships which are accounted for under the equity method as AmREIT exercises significant influence over the investee. These five merchant development funds were formed to develop, own, manage and add value to properties with an average holding period of two to four years. In each of the partnerships, the limited partners, with or without cause, have the right to remove and replace the general partner by a vote of the limited partners owning a majority of the outstanding units. Our interests in these merchant development funds range from 1.4% to 10.5%. These partnerships were formed to develop, own, manage, and hold property for investment.
AmREIT Opportunity Fund (“AOF”)
AmREIT Opportunity Corporation (“AOC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AmREIT, invested $250 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in AOF. AmREIT currently owns a 10.5% limited partner interest in AOF. Liquidation of AOF commenced in July of 2002, and as of December 31, 2005, AOF has an interest in one property. As the general partner, AOC receives a promoted interest in cash flow and profits after certain preferred returns are achieved for its limited partners.

AmREIT Income & Growth Fund, Ltd. (“AIG”)
AmREIT Income & Growth Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of AmREIT, invested $200 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in AIG. AmREIT currently owns an approximately 2.0% limited partner interest in AIG.
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Fund (“MIG”)
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of AmREIT, invested $200 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in MIG. AmREIT currently owns an approximately 1.4% limited partner interest in MIG.
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Fund II (“MIG II”)
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth II Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of AmREIT, invested $400 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in MIG II. AmREIT currently owns an approximately 1.6% limited partner interest in MIG II.
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Fund III (“MIG III”)
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth III Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary, invested $800 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in MIG III. MIG III began raising money in June 2005, and, as of December 31, 2005, had raised approximately $11.2 million. Our $800 thousand investment currently represents a 7.1% limited partner interest in MIG III. As additional limited partner units are sold in MIG III , we expect our limited partnership interest will decline to between 0.8% and 1.6%.
The following table sets forth certain financial information for the AIG, MIG, MIG II and MIG III merchant development funds (AOF is not included as it is currently in liquidation):

Other Affiliate
Other than the merchant development funds, we have an investment in one entity that is accounted for under the equity method since we exercise significant influence over such investee. We invested $1.1 million in West Road Plaza, LP, and we have a 25% limited partner interest in the partnership. West Road Plaza was formed in 2004 to acquire, redevelop, lease and manage West Road Plaza, a shopping center located on the north side of Houston, TX at the intersection of I-45 and West Road.
Combined condensed financial information for the merchant development funds and other affiliates (at 100%) is summarized as follows:

Note 6. Acquired Lease Intangibles
In accordance with SFAS 141, we have identified and recorded the value of intangibles at the property acquisition date. Such intangibles include the value of in-place leases and out-of-market leases. Acquired lease intangible assets (in-place leases and above-market leases) are net of accumulated amortization of $2.9 million and $558,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These assets are amortized over the leases’ remaining terms, which range from 4 months to 20 years. The amortization of above-market leases is recorded as a reduction of rental income and the amortization of in-place leases is recorded to amortization expense. The amortization expense related to in-place leases was $2.0 million, $475,000 and $64,000 during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The amortization of above-market leases, which was recorded as a reduction of rental income, was $337,000, $20,000 and $0 during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Acquired lease intangible liabilities (below-market leases) are net of previously accreted minimum rent of $558,000 and $63,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively and are amortized over the leases’ remaining terms, which range from 4 months to 16 years. The amortization of below-market leases is recorded as an increase to rental income.
The estimated aggregate amortization amounts from acquired lease intangibles for each of the next five years are as follows (in thousands):

| | | | | | |
| | |
* | | The fixed-rate unsecured loans were paid off subsequent to December 31, 2005 |
We have an unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in place which is being used to provide funds for the acquisition of properties and working capital. The Credit Facility matures in November 2007 and provides that we may borrow up to $40 million subject to the value of unencumbered assets. Effective November 2005, we renewed our Credit Facility on terms and conditions substantially the same as the previous facility. The Credit Facility contains covenants which, among other restrictions, require us to maintain a minimum net worth, a maximum leverage ratio, maximum tenant concentration ratios, specified interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. On December 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all financial covenants. The Credit Facility’s annual interest rate varies depending upon our debt to asset ratio, from LIBOR plus a spread of 1.35% to LIBOR plus a spread of 2.35%. As of December 31, 2005, the interest rate was LIBOR plus 1.55%. As of December 31, 2005, there was no balance outstanding under
F-32
the Credit Facility. We have approximately $38.0 million available under our line of credit, subject to the covenants above and Lender approval on the use of the proceeds.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Uptown Park during 2005, we added $49.0 million in new fixed rate debt. All other acquisitions in 2005 were funded by cash. In conjunction with property acquisitions completed during 2004, we assumed debt with a fair value of $46.2 million, which included a debt premium of $1.4 million at the date of acquisition based upon the above market interest rate of the debt instrument. The debt premium is being amortized over the terms of the related debt instruments.
As of December 31, 2005, the weighted average interest rate on our fixed-rate debt is 6.04%, and the weighted average remaining life of such debt is 7.7 years.
As of December 31, 2005, scheduled principal repayments on notes payable and the Credit Facility were as follows (in thousands):

Note 8. Concentrations
As of December 31, 2005, three properties individually accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated total assets — Plaza in the Park and Uptown Park in Houston, Texas and MacArthur Park in Dallas, Texas accounted for 10%, 22% and 17%, respectively of total assets. Consistent with our strategy of investing in areas that we know well, 19 of our properties our located in the Houston metropolitan area. These Houston properties represent 64% of our rental income for the year ended December 31, 2005. Houston is Texas’ largest city and the fourth largest city in the United States.

Note 9. Federal Income Taxes
The differences between net income for financial reporting purposes and taxable income before distribution deductions relate primarily to temporary differences and merger costs which are expensed for financial reporting purposes. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the net book bases of real estate assets approximated their tax bases.
Income tax expense consists of the following for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 which is included in income tax expense or in discontinued operations as appropriate ($ in thousands):

The effective tax rate approximates the statutory tax rate of 34% as no significant permanent differences exist between book and taxable income of the Taxable REIT Subsidiaries. Additionally, the Taxable REIT Subsidiaries had a net deferred tax asset of $244,000 at December 31, 2005 and a net deferred tax liability of $43,000 at December 31, 2004. The deferred tax assets relate to income received from transactions with our merchant development funds, a portion of which has been deferred for financial reporting purposes pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles. However, all of such income will be subject to tax. Our deferred tax liabilities were established to record the tax effect of the differences between the book and tax bases of certain real estate assets of our real estate development and operating and our asset advisory businesses. No valuation allowance was provided on the net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2005 as we believe that it is more likely than not that the future benefits associated with these deferred assets will be realized.

Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity and Minority Interest
Class A Common Shares
Our class A common shares are listed on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) and traded under the symbol “AMY.” As of December 31, 2005, there were 6,401,537 of our class A common shares outstanding, net of 77,741 shares held in treasury. During June 2005, we completed an offering of our class A common shares. We issued 2.76 million shares, including the underwriter’s 360,000 share overallotment, at $8.10 per share in such offering. The offering proceeds were used to fund the acquisition of the Uptown Park shopping center as further discussed below. Our payment of any future dividends to our class A common shareholders is dependent upon applicable legal and contractual restrictions, including the provisions of the class B and class C common shares, as well as our earnings and financial needs.
Class B Common Shares
The class B common shares are not listed on an exchange and there is currently no available trading market for the class B common shares. The class B common shares have voting rights, together with all classes of common shares, as one class of stock. The class B common shares were issued at $9.25 per share. They receive a fixed 8.0% cumulative and preferred annual dividend, paid in quarterly installments, and are convertible into the class A common shares on a one-for-one basis at any time, at the holder’s option. Beginning in July 2005, we have the right to call the shares and, at the holder’s option, either convert them on a one-for-one basis for class A shares or redeem them for $10.18 per share in cash plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. As of December 31, 2005, there were 2,148,649 of our class B common shares outstanding.
Class C Common Shares
The class C common shares are not listed on an exchange and there is currently no available trading market for the class C common shares. The class C common shares have voting rights, together with all classes of common shares, as one class of stock. The class C common shares were issued at $10.00 per share. They receive a fixed 7.0% preferred annual dividend, paid in monthly installments, and are convertible into the class A common shares after a 7-year lock out period based on 110% of invested capital, at the holder’s option. After three years and beginning in August 2006, subject to the issuance date of the respective shares, we have the right to force conversion of the shares into class A shares at the 10% conversion premium or to redeem the shares at a cash redemption price of $11.00 per share. As of December 31, 2005, there were 4,119,923 of our class C common shares outstanding. Currently, there is a class C dividend reinvestment program that allows investors to reinvest their dividends into additional class C common shares. These reinvested shares are also convertible into the class A common shares after the 7-year lock out period and receive the 10% conversion premium upon conversion. As of December 31, 2005, 987 holders are participating in the dividend reinvestment plan.
Class D Common Shares
The class D common shares are not listed on an exchange and there is currently no available trading market for the class D common shares. The class D common shares have voting rights, together with all classes of common shares, as one class of stock. The class D common shares were issued at $10.00 per share. They receive a fixed 6.5% annual dividend, paid in monthly installments, subject to payment of dividends then payable to class B and class C common shares. The class D common shares are convertible into the class A common shares at a 7.7% premium on original capital after a 7-year lock out period, at the holder’s option. After one year and beginning in July 2005, subject to the issuance date of the respective shares, we have the right to force conversion of the shares into class A shares at the 7.7% conversion premium or to redeem the shares at a cash price of $10.00. In either case, the conversion premium will be pro rated based on the number of years the shares are outstanding. As of December 31, 2005, there were 11,035,482 of our class D common shares outstanding. Currently, there is a class D dividend reinvestment program that allows investors to reinvest their dividends into additional class D common shares. These reinvested shares are also convertible into the class A common shares after the 7-year lock out period and receive the 7.7% conversion premium upon conversion. As of December 31, 2005, 2,909 holders are participating in the dividend reinvestment plan.
Minority Interest
Minority interest represents a third-party interest in entities that we consolidate as a result of our controlling financial interest in such investees.

We earn real estate fee income by providing property acquisition, leasing, property management, construction and construction management services to our merchant development funds. We own 100% of the stock of the companies that serve as the general partner for the funds. Real estate fee income of $4.6 million, $1.4 million and $455,000 were paid by the funds to the Company for 2005, 2004, and 2003 respectively. Additionally, construction revenues of $2.4 million were earned from the merchant development funds during 2005. The Company earns asset management fees from the funds for providing accounting related services, investor relations, facilitating the deployment of capital, and other services provided in conjunction with operating the fund. Asset management fees of $486,000, $339,000 and $240,000 were paid by the funds to us for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
As a sponsor of real estate investment opportunities to the NASD financial planning broker-dealer community, we maintain an indirect 1% general partner interest in the investment funds that we sponsor. The funds are typically structured such that the limited partners receive 99% of the available cash flow until 100% of their original invested capital has been returned and a preferred return has been met. Once this has happened, then the general partner begins sharing in the available cash flow at various promoted levels. We also may assign a portion of this general partner interest in these investment funds to our employees as long term, contingent compensation. We believe that this assignment will align the interest of management with that of the shareholders, while at the same time allowing for a competitive compensation structure in order to attract and retain key management positions without increasing the overhead burden.
On July 23, 2002, the Company completed a merger with three of its affiliated partnerships, AAA Net Realty Fund IX, Ltd., AAA Net Realty Fund X, Ltd., and AAA Net Realty Fund XI, Ltd. AmREIT accounted for this merger as a purchase, whereby the assets of the partnerships have been recorded at fair value. AmREIT increased its real estate assets by approximately $24.3 million and issued approximately 2.6 million shares of Class B common stock to the limited partners in the affiliated partnerships as a result of the merger. Approximately $760,000 in 8 year, 5.47% interest only, subordinated notes were issued to limited partners of the affiliated partnerships who dissented to the merger. The acquired properties are unencumbered, single tenant, free standing properties on lease to national and regional tenants, where the lease is the direct obligation of the parent company. A deferred merger expense resulted from the shares payable to H. Kerr Taylor, our President and Chief Executive Officer, as a result of the merger, which shares represented a portion of consideration payable to Mr. Taylor as a result of the sale of his advisory company to AmREIT. Mr. Taylor earned shares during 2004 and 2003 as a result of our class C and class D common share offering, resulting in a non-cash charge to earnings of approximately $1.68 million and $915,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. During 2004, Mr. Taylor received his final installment of shares, and, to date, he has received 900 thousand class A common shares pursuant to this agreement. No further shares will be issued to Mr. Taylor pursuant to this deferred consideration agreement.
On March 20, 2002, the Company formed AAA CTL Notes, Ltd. (“AAA”), a majority owned subsidiary which is consolidated in our financial statements, through which the Company purchased fifteen IHOP leasehold estate properties and two IHOP fee simple properties.
Note 12. Real Estate Acquisitions and Dispositions
During 2005, we invested over $110 million through the acquisition of three multi-tenant properties. The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the results of their operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition.
On September 30, 2005, we acquired for cash The South Bank, a multi-tenant retail center located on the San Antonio Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas. The property is located at the corner of a major downtown intersection and is accessible from both the river and street levels. The Property consists of approximately 47,000 square-feet, has a weighted average remaining lease term of 5.26 years and is 100% leased. Tenants on the Property include, among others, Hard Rock Café, Starbucks, Ben & Jerry’s, Harley-Davidson and The County Line Barbecue.
On June 1, 2005, we acquired Uptown Park, a 169,000 square foot multi-tenant shopping center located on approximately 16.85 acres of land. The property is located on the northwest corner of Loop 610 and Post Oak Boulevard in Houston, Texas in the heart of the Uptown Houston area. The property was developed in two phases — phase one consists of approximately 147,000 square feet that was constructed in 1999, and construction was recently completed on phase two which consists of approximately 22,000 square feet. The property was funded with cash and the placement of long-term fixed-rate debt. The cash portion of the purchase consideration was substantially funded by the net proceeds from the offering of our class A common shares as discussed above. The debt has a term of 10 years and is payable interest-only to maturity at a fixed interest rate of 5.37% with the entire principal amount due in 2015.
During 2005, we sold ten single-tenant non-core properties for $16.6 million in cash to unrelated third parties resulting in gains of $3.4 million. In addition, we completed the sale of six single-tenant retail properties that were acquired for resale for a total of approximately $11.5 million in cash. On December 15, 2005, we utilized the net proceeds from the disposition of our non-core properties to acquire 39,000 square feet of multi-tenant retail projects located adjacent to the MacArthur Park Shopping Center in Las Colinas, an affluent residential and business community in Dallas, Texas. We purchased the MacArthur Park Shopping Center on December 27, 2004.
During 2004, we invested $105.2 million through the acquisition of five multi-tenant properties. The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the results of their operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition. Additionally, during 2004, we sold six single tenant non-core properties. The sale of the six properties resulted in a net gain of $861,000 after including impairment charges of $1.1 million. The cash proceeds from the sale of the six properties were approximately $11.1 million after paying down debt of $1.4 million.

Note 13. Commitments
In March of 2004, we signed a new lease agreement for our office facilities which expires August 31, 2009. In addition, we lease various office equipment for daily activities. Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $233,000, $183,000 and $92,000, respectively.

Note 14. Segment Reporting
The operating segments presented are the segments of AmREIT for which separate financial information is available, and revenue and operating performance is evaluated regularly by senior management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
We evaluate the performance of its operating segments primarily on revenue. Because the real estate development and operating segment and securities and merchant development fund segments are both revenue and fee intensive, management considers revenue the primary indicator in allocating resources and evaluating performance.
We have historically evaluated the performance of our operating segments primarily on revenue. During 2005, we began evaluating our operating segments based on income from continuing operations. Accordingly, we began allocating certain overhead expenses as well as interest expense to the individual business units to which those expenses relate. We have recorded reclassifications to the 2004 segment expenses to conform to the current period presentation.
The portfolio segment consists of our portfolio of single and multi-tenant shopping center projects. This segment consists of 49 properties located in 15 states. Expenses for this segment include depreciation, interest, minority interest, legal cost directly related to the portfolio of properties and property level expenses. Our consolidated assets are substantially all in this segment. Additionally, substantially all of the increase in total assets during the year ended December 31, 2005 occurred within the portfolio segment.
Our real estate development and operating business is a fully integrated and wholly-owned business consisting of brokers and real estate professionals that provide development, acquisition, brokerage, leasing, construction, asset and property management services to our publicly traded portfolio and merchant development funds as well as to third parties. Our securities operation consists of an NASD registered securities business that, through the internal securities group, raises capital from the independent financial planning marketplace. The merchant development funds sell limited partnership interests to retail investors, in which we indirectly invest as both the general partner and as a limited partner (see Note 5). These merchant development funds were formed to develop, own, manage, and add value to properties with an average holding period of two to four years.

(1) | | Revenues for 2004 and 2003 have been reduced to reflect as issuance costs the capital-raising activities of our securities operations related to our class C and class D common shares. Expenses incurred in conjunction with these capital raising activities during 2004 and 2003 were reduced by a corresponding amount, and these reclassifications therefore had no effect on our net income for either of these periods. |
